Dp x Dc AU: That one episode of teen titans where they all dress up as Robin + Tim being a gremlin about his legacy + Danny look alike/twin AU.
So there is that episode of Teen Titans where Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy and Raven all dress as Robin (Dick) while he's out and it's admitted that the outfit makes them feel cool. Imagine a young Tim hearing that story mentioned in passing by Dick while trying to manage what becomes Young Just-us. And then when Damain becomes Robin?? Gremlin mode activated.
Tim hosts regular 'Robin' Parties, where the idea is that you come in Robin colors, get a mask at the door and everyone gets to basically hang out in civilian clothes without the identity crises for those just getting started. "age appropriate" drinks, games, and good music are all staples. The parties become more frequent once Damian becomes Robin and he pointedly doesn't attend Tim's parties which... Neither of them are really happy about. Family is complicated, but finally, after a few years of cooling off, it's decided that Robin will actually host this years Robin party.
Meaning Tim shows up in casual clothes (MIT sweatshirt) and a mask, and Damian is actually dressed as Robin when the party is starting to get into the swing of things. The point of it is to make sure all the young heroes get to come and start to befriend each other, so there are a few people who show up and have to actually say that they're *insert alias* and this is met with basically "Dope, nice to meet you Robin" etc.
Insert Danny Twin AU (Or just look-alike fuckery) (for either brother but my brain is on Tim Twin au mode).
Danny decides to show up as his human self, grabs a mask at the door before coming in, and is slowly integrating himself into a conversation when someone grabs his arm- "Hey Red your brother is fighting with a newbie about meat products again-"
And Danny doesn't have a brother but my god has he heard this fight too many times with Sam and Tucker- He's going in and he's defusing this situation because he cannot handle the thought of this argument taking over his new friend group. He deals with it enough, okay?
Robin (like, the real one) looks at him curiously while Danny is talking down the other hero Robin (insert here), and the whole room notices when Robin doesn't take the opportunity to dismiss or belittle his older brother (Lmao because its danny). Damian cannot place his unease about Drake (again, Danny, who is not hiding his identity beyond a mask), and simply decides that this isn't worth the effort.
The party moves on but now instead of everyone calling themselves Robin, Danny is distinctly being called Red. It confuses him a bit, he didn't even know Red Robin was going to be at this party (he hasn't met the guy and doesn't know the lore), but he rolls with it because he's made fast friends with Robin (Bart), Robin (Cassie) and Robin (JON). The kid was full little bro energy and it made Danny laugh, he was so surprised when the real Robin joined them and fell into easy conversation with Robin (Jon).
Danny is playing games with a few others when someone goes to grab a broom to clean up- Turns out Red Robin and his boyfriend Kon had been making out in the closet for most of the party- and the whole room looks at Danny like he's tried to trick them. Tim is at first uneasy that so many people mistook him, but once he's in front of his dupe, puzzle pieces start to move around in his head.
"And who are you again, Robin?" Tim asks carefully, though he suspects he has his answer.
"Uh, Phantom, but you know, a lot of people were calling me Red tonight and I didn't get why until just now." Danny laughs nervously.
"Yeah I bet- Find me monday and we can see about a geneology test."
"That leaves us the whole weekend, to do what exactly? Fuck with people by pulling a parent trap style swap?"
"Nature vs. nuture and all but I don't know how you could be anything but my brother with a question like that." Tim grins and they get to scheming.

i keep thinking about that one bachelor au post so here's my take on it (i've never watched the bachelor or bachelorette so bear with me)
the bachelor au where steve's the bachelor and eddie is a contestant, but not because he actually wants to be, he's just in it for the paycheck. robin is also a contestant but only because her parents sent in her application without her knowing and she isn't out to them yet.
they both think that steve is overrated and definitely over hyped. typical rich kid with enough money to buy people's love, yada yada.
until they both start going on dates with him and then realize that it isn't exactly true. yes, he's rich, but he's also kind and funny and actually genuine once you get past the mask he puts on for everybody. eventually, eddie and robin find themselves looking forward to their dates.
only robin doesn't want to date him. he's slowly moving his way up the ranks to becoming her best friend, sure, but this is still tv. she's still expected to kiss him and confess her feelings for him. and when the time comes for her to do that, she can't.
they're in venice. steve is leaning in and robin is very aware of the cameras filming them. the back of her neck goes cold and her stomach churns and suddenly she's running in the opposite direction. her italian is passable so she ends up getting a taxi back to the hotel production put them in.
she locks herself in her en suite and presses her forehead against the cold porcelain. she doesn't know how long she sits there until her phone buzzes and she checks the notification. the nausea rises up her throat again. she forgot she gave steve her number.
there's a knock on her room door and another text.
r u ok? can i come in?
robin debates it but figures she owes him and explanation. she lets him in and they sit on the bathroom floor. robin tells him why she's on the show in the first place, about how she didn't know her parents signed her up until she got the phone call from the casting director. tells him that even if she gets kicked off, she can still use the money for her student loans.
she stares at the water in the toilet bowl when she comes out to him.
steve is quiet, processing, before he laughs. he's not laughing at her, he promises, but "robin. you're on a show with more than a handful of other queers, you know that, right? i'm bisexual."
and yeah, robin knew that, but it's different when you're not into the guy you're supposed to be romancing at all.
steve reassures her that it's okay, and that he still hopes they can be friends and keep in touch after the show ends.
robin would like that.
she apologizes to the production crew the next day and they're understanding and steve and robin get a re-do of their date. it's much more genuine this time, filled with laughs and digs as they eat gelato along the river and people watch and gossip.
it's the best robin's ever been on.
eddie, on the other hand. he's absolutely head over heels for steve, which is surprising even for him. he's trailer park trash, he's got absolutely nothing on steve harrington. not the name, not the money.
hell, the very first day, he insulted the guy's food choices right to his face without knowing it.
eddie wants the earth to give way underneath him and swallow him whole.
he plays it up on their first date, all fake niceties and empty smiles, until steve tells him point blank, "the guy that said the buffet was shit that first night? i want to get to know him."
eddie's flabbergasted.
steve opens up about all the fake people in his life, the ones who just take advantage of them and use him for their own gains. the ones who don't even bother to get to know the real him. the one that likes to play guitar and hang out with the gaggle of teenagers that follow him around all the time for some unknown reason.
he tells eddie about what he wants to do with his life, not what someone else has planned for him and eddie falls deeper and deeper.
this time, when steve leans in for a kiss, eddie doesn't shy away. their lips press together and it's the best goddamn kiss either one of them have ever had.
the show has a deadline, of course, and steve can't just spend all his time with eddie and robin. there are other contestants. robin knows her rose is strictly platonic and steve has already called her multiple times freaking out about his growing crush on eddie. she knows eddie has this in the bag.
the final night comes and the contestants have dwindled. there's only a small group of them left: eddie, robin, and another guy and girl they didn't bother learning the names of.
when steve chooses eddie after a moment of dramatic silence that kind of puts his own dm dramatics to shame, eddie doesn't hesitate to jump in steve's arms, wrap his legs around his waist, and plant a sloppy one on him right in front of the cameras.
#cj talks#something something steve goes on a tv show to find romance and ends up finding his romantic and platonic soulmates#steddie#steddie fic#cj writes#i liked being your schmuck#platonic stobin#the three muskequeers

legitimately the only thing I can think of is husband!price coddling his partner, they're all bleary eyed from crying out of desperation for physical touch since he's been deployed for so long- just the pure neediness. needing him there in every way, physically and emotionally. just like him muttering small "'m here, I have you baby" or "feels too good now that I'm back, yeah? gonna take all of me anyways, love"
(the last sentence is nsfw but either way just... the reader being needy for him in every way when he returns home)
- cruel anon
cruel anon hello !! how are you? you're constantly keeping me fed with ideas and i love it. i need price to soothe me in his arms while i cry
warnings/tags: john price x gn reader, crying, clinginess, smut
you've spent most of this month in tears, desperate to be in your husbands arm, safe and sound. for some reason, his latest deployment was taking a real toll on you.
days seemed longer and the house felt too big without him. cooking just for yourself was becoming more difficult and going out to socialise just didn't seem to fill the gap in your chest.
but finally, it was the day he was coming home. you knew that his time home would fly by and you'd be waving him goodbye again, but thankfully he had been given a wee bit longer off this time due to how demanding and rough his latest deployment had been.
you were now waiting in the living room, sipping on a tea anxiously while you waited for the front door to open. any minute now and he'd be kicking his shoes off and sweeping you off your feet in a bear hug.
after around fifteen minutes, you had finished your cup and decided to go pour another. as you stood up from the comfy chair, that's when you heard the swift click on the front door.
you dropped the cup down, uncaring of where it lands as you rushed through the hallway to the front door. tears instantly pooled in your eyes, making your vision a bit blurry but you didn't care. all that mattered was that your husband was finally home again.
"hey honey, miss me?" john chuckles, dropping his bags onto the floor to open up his arms for you - which you happily ran into. he picked you up, squeezing you tightly before gently setting you back down.
salty tears streamed down your face as you pressed kiss after kiss onto his lips and face. after a minute of this, warm hands gently cupped your face, forcing you to stop moving and stare up. "hey, shh what's wrong baby?" john soothes while using a thumb to rub away some tears.
"i don't know, i guess i've just missed you a lot." you sniffle, your hands wrapping around his waist and holding on tight, never wanting to let go. your chest feels light now that your husband is back safe and sound.
john leans down and presses a gentle kiss to your forehead, "well i'm here now huh? not going anywhere honey." he whispers and you nod slowly, tears still streaming down your face.
it's been a few weeks since then, and your emotions haven't got much better. you cling to john where he moves around the house, desperate to just be with him. his physical touch always settles you, keeps you happy and calm.
john hasn't minded, he honestly thinks it's cute. you're acting like a needy house cat, and he's more than happy to treat and spoil you. the two of you haven't really gone out to be with friends since he's been back, too wrapped up in re connecting with one another to even think of leaving the house.
completing simple tasks around the house requires him by your side now, and whenever anything get's too much or goes wrong - he's quick to step in and help. you feel like you've struck gold with your husband. most people would find this emotional and physical clinginess too much, but not john.
he understands how hard it must be for you to be home alone for months on end, trying to keep everything together while also making sure you're getting out enough and staying on top of things. he's always well taken care of too when he gets back, you pamper him to the point he doesn't need to lift a finger.
this time though, it's you needing that extra support and closeness and john is more than happy to be there however you need. after all, why wouldn't he? john loves you, deeply.
it becomes even more apparent during sex, the way you cling to him and never want to let go. being able to have his bare skin on you while he fills you up is so comforting. he's surrounding you with his body, voice and scent; to the point where all you can think about is 'john john john john john.'
you cry and moan, gripping onto him while he slowly slides in. his lips are pressed to your ear, whispering filthy things. "feels so good that i'm back, right sweetheart? oh i know i know, c'mon you can take all of it i know you can. s'just been awhile yeah?"
it's emotional and euphoric, the way you tighten around him while tears stream down your face. he loves the sight of you broken before him, so dependant and trusting. it's something he'll never forget for the rest of his life.
the fact you trust him so deeply, letting him pleasure you to the point of exhaustion, still gripping onto him and crying for him. how could any man ignore such a beautiful bond with his wife?

Hey hi, another idea
Hobie had his 'don't like labels' line and seems very nonchalant with affection in the movie as well.
What if him and the reader are something but Hobie isn't gonna say what they are because he doesn't see the need to. But the reader is constantly second guessing how much affection is ok, and if they feel too strong for him because they cuddle and sometimes kiss, sure, but he's always super affectionate with everyone and the reader starts to wonder how special they really are to him.
Because of this they decide to just stop being super touchy with him. If he's not going to say that they're more than friends, they'll just be friends.
Please and thank you, take as long as you need
I hope you a happy time
Sorry it took me so long to get to this request, but I hope you like how it turned out! I did have to tweak it slightly, but the gist is mostly the same, so I hope you enjoy <3 As always, thank you for requesting!
TW: fem!reader, no real ending, sad ending?
________________
Part 1 (current) | Part 2
Hobie Brown was your boyfriend...or was he?
It didn't really feel like he was your boyfriend, and he never called himself your boyfriend, like he never called you his girlfriend. Sure you guys would kiss and hug, sometimes sleep on the same bed, sometimes you'd even go out together, just the two of you...but he never called you his girlfriend.
And he never called himself your boyfriend.
And you knew he hated labels, and you knew he didn't take the whole thing that seriously, but it was still confusing.
When did a few kisses become too many? When did a couple hugs become suffocating? When would he get sick of you or ask you to stop, because you weren't really dating...you were just there.
Together.
"You wanna go out today, love?" Hobie was sprawled out on the couch, guitar held in his arms as he lazily strummed at it, feet kicked up on the arm of the creaky sofa.
He pulled his head up slightly to glance at you on the other side of the room, bundled up while fiddling with your webshooters. "Just the two of us?"
"Hmm?" You glanced up, eyes widened. "You wanna go on a date?"
His eyebrows furrowed slightly. "If that's what you wanna call it, sure."
The way he looked at you, a little confused, a little too nonchalant about it, a little too much like he didn't care...made you clasp your mouth shut. "Okay."
So when the two of you went out that night, and ended up on some random rooftop somewhere on Earth-138, looking out at the night sky, you couldn't help but feel a little...
tired.
Tired of his antics.
You glanced over at him, watching as the stars reflected themselves in his dark brown eyes, a slight smile on his face as he looked out, taking in the sights, the smells, the everything.
You stared at him for a moment longer. You could stare at him all day. The way he looked at things like he was in love. Whether he was looking at a cute cat, his guitar, the sky, he always looked like he was falling in love.
And yeah that seemed sweet at first.
Until you realized he looked at you the same way.
And you were nothing special.
You turned your gaze down, your heart clenching just slightly. You swallowed back a lump in your throat before looking back out at the lights.
The silence was unbearable.
But you loved him, right? You loved him.
So you gave it another shot.
You inched your hand toward his, slowly, surely, and after a few minutes, the tips of your fingers were almost touching, both palms, yours and his, pressed against the cool concrete of the rooftop.
You felt him glance over at you.
After a moment, he put his hand on top of yours, pulling it in and squeezing in gently. Your tense heart slowly relaxed as he kept your hand in his, his eyes on your face, before he looked back out.
Silence.
But before you could even get used to the warmth of his hand enveloping yours, the feel of his fingers latching so perfectly around yours, he pulled his hand away.
Your palm twitched slightly as the cold air got to you. You felt yourself tense up again.
He leaned back slightly, a sigh escaping his lips. "Nice night, innit?" he asked with a grin, glancing over at you like he always did, that pretty little love stare that made you feel nothing, piercing right through you.
"Yeah. Nice night." You said quietly, clearing your throat.
He frowned. "You all right?" he asked a little softly, eyebrows furrowing down as he tilted his head, trying to meet your eyes.
"Define 'all right'."
"Let's see-" He leaned back again, making himself comfortable, "-you've been acting weird lately. Like you're mad at me or somet'ing." he said, drawling out his words the way he always did.
He looked back at you."So, are you?"
"Am I what?" you asked, avoiding his gaze.
"Mad at me?"
You stayed silent.
"No."
He smiled. "Good. That's good. Wouldn't want you to be mad at me, you're my roommate after all-" he chuckled, kicking his legs over the edge of the roof.
Roommate.
"That's why you don't want me mad at you?" you asked with a slight scoff.
He looked startled. "Yeah...yeah, I wouldn't want you to be mad at me cause you're stuck with me, yeah? You're...my roommate. You live with me." he said carefully, obviously thinking through his words cautiously, although he wasn't trying nearly hard enough.
"Mmm." you nodded. "That's right."
"Did I say something?" he asked gently.
"No, no-" you shook your head, finally looking at him, "-you spoke the truth. You're right. I'm not mad at you."
"Are you sure?" he looked at you like he wanted to reach out to you, eyes searching through yours for some type of answer.
You gazed at him for a moment longer before looking back out into the distance. "Hundred percent."
He sighed. He looked back out too but he couldn't stop himself from glancing back at you, the way your frown had deepened just slightly, your muscles had tensed up and your shoulders were straight, no longer slouched.
You looked uncomfortable.
He hated that.
He put his hand back on the cold concrete, sighing quietly as he tried to understand you, what you wanted from him.
He glanced down at your hand, your fingers tensed up as well, sitting just a couple of inches away from his.
Maybe he could-
He inched his hand towards yours slowly, hoping that you wouldn't notice.
One inch in and he was feeling his heart beating faster already, taking quick glances at you but refusing to move his head and disturb you.
Another and he was already halfway there, swallowing down the awkwardness that had filled his throat from somewhere. This was different, it was weird. It'd been a long time since he'd felt this way about being near you.
And now another inch and he was so close, just one more and his hand would be on top of yours, just another inch and maybe he'd be able to grab your hand and pull you close and hug you and-
oh
You glanced down at his hand and pulled your hand away, standing up, eyes still fixating on whatever was in front of you.
"I think we should head home now. It's getting late." you said quietly.
He stared up at you, heart slowly dropping, that horrible feeling settling deep inside him. "I- uh, alright." he said quickly, standing up after you.
"Race you-...there?" he'd started but you'd already leapt away, leaving him standing there by himself, alone in the cold on that rooftop without your presence beside him to keep him warm.
He sighed quietly under his breath, shaking his head.
He just couldn't understand you.

Dark! Evan Buckley Masterlist
Part 1
Summary: Now that Evan has (Y/n) back and they're having a baby, he will do anything he can to make sure she stays with him and he can protect her at all costs.
Enjoy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A tired smile pulled at (Y/n)'s lips as she leaned her head to the left so her cheek could rest on Evan's shoulder. Her eyes were blearily focusing on the tv, but she wasn't really paying attention to the movie that was serving as background noise.
She was quite surprised Evan was paying attention to the movie, considering he had missed the first forty minutes. He hadn't long come home from shift and it must have been a tiring shift because Evan didn't have his usual boundless bursts of energy tonight. (Y/n) suspected he would be asleep before the end of the film.
She tilted her head back a little so she could glance up at him, noting the way he had his head at an angle and his eyes were narrowed like they were lenses zooming in on the tv.
He could feel her staring because a coy grin lit up his otherwise tired features and he tilted his head in her direction. His reddened lips stole a sweet kiss and his arm slowly shifted out towards her so his hand could curl around her thigh.
When he kissed her temple, (Y/n) went back to leaning on his shoulder and she tried to curl her legs up beneath her on the sofa which allowed her to lean into Evan's side a bit more.
She curled her hands around his arm that was draped across her waist and buried her nose in his shirt, inhaling his scent. Her thumbs stroked over his arm while she felt his hand skimming softly up and down her thigh and she was quite surprised he hadn't glued his hand to her bump by now. Ever since she started to show it seemed to make things more real for them both and Evan's hands were always attaching to her stomach somehow.
Although (Y/n) was glad he wasn't glued to her stomach at the moment or else he might have felt the way she kept twitching and shifting around.
"Okay?" Evan murmured when (Y/n) pushed into him a little more like she was about to lean over and lay on his lap instead.
"Yeah, just going stiff." She had probably been sat down for too long.
Now that she worked from home, (Y/n) was a lot calmer, but she was becoming rather hibernated. She wasn't moving about like she did in the office, running to the kitchen or the toilets or moving to give files and take phone calls. She could work right here in the living room and usually got all her work done in one swoop which meant she wasn't moving around too much.
Evan had helped her change things around so she could work from home after they both moved into their new home together. He showed her how much easier it was going to be, she wouldn't be anxious if she was home. And if she didn't feel well, she was in the safest place and didn't have to call in sick.
(Y/n) tried her best not to cling to Evan's arm when her stomach tensed and she coiled her knees up a bit higher to her stomach.
She didn't want to worry him by telling him she hadn't felt very well today. It felt like she had pulled a muscle so she was trying to find the best position to sit where it eased the tension in her stomach and lower back.
She managed a smile when Evan's hand shifted up to brush his knuckles against the lower side of her stomach and she could tell he was doing it absentmindedly.
They were six and a half months along now and (Y/n) knew Evan was getting excited each day they got closer to meeting their baby. This is all he'd ever wanted, a partner and a family of his own and now it was happening. And (Y/n) wasn't as worried about things moving too fast with Evan, they were making things work and she knew he loved her more than anything.
Letting go of his arm, (Y/n) slowly uncurled her legs when she felt another uneasy feeling wash over her.
"Gonna get a drink," She whispered while she felt Evan's hand move from her bump to her lower back to help her up.
It felt like her legs had gone numb when she started to walk from the living room towards the kitchen where a chill passed through her and had her shivering. She flicked the kettle on and found her cup from the sink, but she felt like sitting down on the floor when another twinge pulled at her stomach.
On and off, all day, she had felt like this but it had steadily gotten worse towards the evening. As if (Y/n)'s body knew that Evan would panic if he found out, and that (Y/n) couldn't cope with little pains, let alone worrying pains that might become serious.
Her hands began to shake when the kettle finally boiled and she tried to pour herself a cup of tea, but the water spilled around the cup and trickled onto the counter.
When a sudden tightening pain tore through her abdomen, (Y/n) dumped the kettle down on the side and hunched over. One hand gripped the counter while she other moved to press into her stomach like it would make any difference. She wished pressing down on the source of the pain would make it go away.
Her eyes snapped shut and a deep, shuddering breath left her lips as she tried to ride out the feeling and make it go away.
This wasn't like normal twinges that (Y/n) had grown used to during the pregnancy so far. This wasn't the same as when she felt tired and run down from low iron and vitamins. It wasn't the way her head thumped and ached when she felt like she was going to faint- which was the reason why (Y/n) didn't go out alone anymore.
Like Evan said, what would she do if she fainted and she was on her own? She wouldn't have anyone to look after her or make sure she was okay. It was why she went out either with Evan or Maddie.
"Evan?" She hated the way her voice wobbled when she called out and her teeth punctured into her bottom lip to smother a groan when another pain twitched in her stomach. Her forehead pressed down into her arm that was on the counter and her other hand stayed pushing into her stomach.
"Yeah, babe?" The sing-song tone in Evan's voice almost made (Y/n) want to smile.
"C-can you come here?"
Evan didn't like the feeble tone in (Y/n)'s voice; he knew that tone. Something was worrying her.
His brows furrowed and he pushed up off the sofa, clicking his back into place as he headed into the kitchen. His bare feet tensed and shuddered against the cold tiled floor and he pulled his slacks up over his hips when the loose joggers felt like they were about to slide down his hips.
When he walked into the kitchen, Evan didn't like what he was faced with. (Y/n) leaning on the counter, temple pressing into her arm and her other hand cradling her bump.
"What's wrong?" His voice changed from melodic to rough around the edges and he hurried over to stand behind her. His hands found her hips and his chest leaned over her back while his chin perched on her shoulder.
"I'm getting cramps…" The uneasiness in her voice was coupled with worry bubbling over in her soft eyes when she managed to tilt her head to look up at Evan.
She gingerly moved her hand from her stomach to hold Evan's wrist that was gripping her waist. She shifted his hand round until he was cradling the area of her stomach where the pain was getting worse. She could feel his chest hardening and tensing as his palm pressed firmly into her stomach and his thumb traced over her skin, clearly trying to calm her down.
"Since when?" The gruff tone of his voice told (Y/n) not to lie to him and she closed her eyes so she didn't have to see his expression change.
"Earlier?" (Y/n) all but whimpered when she heard a growl vibrate through Evan's chest. "They w-weren't this bad though."
She thought it had only been tenderness or slight discomforting pains, they hadn't been this strong. (Y/n) had been able to ignore them earlier, but she couldn't ignore these growing pains, they were reducing her to tears from both pain and anxiety.
Her arms shuddered when Evan's hands slid round to her upper arms and he carefully reeled her up off the counter and turned her in the direction of the doorway.
"Come on, we're going to the emergency room." Evan's lips attached to the back of (Y/n)'s head and his hands went back to cupping her hips.
He wasn't taking any chances, if she wasn't feeling well he was taking her to see a doctor.
When the door opened, (Y/n) found herself reaching across for Evan's hand as if she thought someone was going to walk in and take him away from her. She didn't want to be at the hospital in the first place, being here without Evan wasn't an option.
Sometimes it felt like Evan was her safety net. She didn't go out the house unless he, Maddie or someone else was with her, mainly Evan. (Y/n) had gotten so used to him being around that she didn't like to go to general appointments for anything unless he went with her. Especially since she hadn't been well.
What would she do if she went out alone and she collapsed without Evan there? What would of happened tonight if she came to the hospital without him and got bad news?
Her hand interlocked with Evan's and she pulled his hand to rest on her lap while she swung her legs back and forth on the edge of the bed.
"Okay, it looks like the medication we gave you has worked to take away the pains, right?" The comforting smile on the doctor's face was enough to put both (Y/n) and Evan at ease.
She nodded, adverting her eyes down to her bump for a few seconds before looking back to the doctor who pulled a chair over and sat down opposite them.
They had done an ultrasound, taken some bloods and given (Y/n) some pain relief and relaxants which had taken away all the cramps she came in with. It almost felt too good to be true, as if at some point the pains were going to come back or they were going to find out something else was disasterously wrong.
"Good. Well, the ultrasound confirmed the placenta has started to move down, which isn't good, but it's not dangerous yet."
"Yet?" Evan's lips curled into a panicked smile and he began to rub his free hand across his jaw that was lightly coated with stubble. He didn't like the sound of that.
"The placenta might stay where it is, but there is always the chance that it could drop further and that would make things complicated. Are you experiencing a lot of stress or anxiety lately?"
Just the notion of his words made adrenaline flutter in (Y/n)'s stomach and ignite in her chest, stealing her breath away. She was shrouded with anxiety, both her and Evan were, for separate reasons. Sometimes Evan's anxieties rubbed off on (Y/n), sometimes when he began to get suffocating (Y/n) didn't know what to do and it panicked her.
But things hadn't been like that since she found out she was pregnant. At least, not in the same ways as before. (Y/n) knew Evan was being cautious around her because of the baby, not because he didn't trust her or he wanted to control every aspect of her day like he used to. With her working from home he didn't have to message her every day and ask where she was and what she was doing.
"Not a lot, not really… can I go home?" She almost felt bad for asking because she felt the way Evan squeezed her hand. They both knew Evan wasn't taking her home without the doctor's advice.
"I'm happy to discharge you, but on the basis that you go on bed rest from now on." His smile was as if he had just given (Y/n) some amazing news, and in a way he kind of did. (Y/n) didn't have to stay, Evan could take her back home and he could go to work tomorrow knowing that she was going to be fine.
But she didn't want to go on bedrest. (Y/n) didn't want to be confined to the bedroom or be told she couldn't do any housework or go out to do the shopping with Evan or go to Maddie's house for a coffee.
"For how long?" Evan's question took (Y/n) rather by surprise, but when she looked across at him, he looked like he was faraway in his own world.
"Your records show you're only thirty weeks, and we typically class anywhere before thirty-five weeks as premature. So I'd like you on bed rest and light duties until that point so we don't risk premature labour, from thirty-five weeks we can discuss the next steps. Okay?"
(Y/n) found herself nodding along, but she didn't like the sound of that. Her head flopped onto Evan's shoulder and she shuffled into his side, seeking some sort of comfort and relief.
She heard the doctor mutter a few more things about taking it easy, no stress and coming back if she had anymore cramps or any bleeding. And she heard Evan say work was fine because she worked from home.
At least that was something they didn't have to worry about. (Y/n) would take her laptop and paperwork up to the bedroom and carry on working from home as normal. She would just be in her pyjamas, laid in bed rather than sat downstairs on the sofa. But she might not work as many hours during the day now; working from home was easier, but it was still stressful.
When the door closed and the doctor left them with their discharge papers, (Y/n) felt Evan twisting around so he was facing her on the bed. One hand cupped the side of her face and his thumb traced along her jaw while his other hand slid beneath her shirt to cup her bump.
"That's you in bed for the next five weeks then, sweetheart."
He felt (Y/n) groan against his chest and he chuckled, pressing his lips to the back of her head for a few seconds.
"But… but maybe I could-"
"You think you can bargain this with me?" His words caused her to look down at his chest again, somewhat defeated. "I don't think we have a choice, baby. Don't want a preemie, do we? I gotta keep you both safe."
The feeling of his thumb tracing her stomach made (Y/n) nod. No, if they could help it they didn't want a premature baby. They wanted to keep their baby safe for as long as possible.
"It's not gonna be fun," She murmured into his chest, but when he tilted her head back and stole a kiss, she felt like he was draining all the air from her lungs. His chest leaned down on hers and his hand shifted from her waist to curl around her inner thigh.
Her hand gripped his wrist that was cupping her face and her other hand reached behind her to plant down on the bed, propping herself up before she fell back when Evan leaned into her. She could feel him smiling against her lips as his tongue traced her lower lip and his teeth scraped against hers.
"Oh I don't know," He panted against her lips, leaning his head to one side as his nose nudged hers. "I can think of a few ways to make it fun."
***
With a deep breath, (Y/n) hooked the basket of washing under her left arm and reached out for the bannister rail with her free hand. She almost felt silly for taking the stairs this slow, but she knew it would be just her luck to trip or stumble and then have Evan find out and ask what she had been up to.
Her feet felt cold against the carpet once she was safely down the stairs. She hadn't worn her slippers for the precise reason that she might trip with her hands full and her concentration lacking.
She switched the basket of washing into both hands and headed past the living room and into the kitchen. It felt good to be walking about. Bed rest meant her legs had been going numb and she could barely walk the house without going dizzy from how used she was getting to lying in bed.
It felt good to work while she was in bed, go through her paperwork, type up her notes and such. And with old movies on in the background or tv shows, (Y/n) was watching more tv now than she ever had before.
But it still wasn't the same. She didn't feel right, it felt like she was being lazy or purposely avoiding jobs to have an easy life.
And with Evan at work like he was now, it left (Y/n) at odds with what to do with herself. Maddie and the team said they would pop round every other day to try and cheer her up and check in on her. But while Evan was at work, (Y/n) was determined to do a little housework.
One thing at a time. Washing today. Hoover the bedroom tomorrow. Hoover downstairs the next day. One task at a time so he couldn't say she was overdoing anything or pushing herself too hard. (Y/n) had to move around a little, even the doctor said she needed to move around at some points in the day, she just had to rest for most of it.
When she reached the kitchen, (Y/n) set the basket down and used the counter to ease down to her knees so she could load the washer.
For the last week she had been living in her pyjamas and Evan's loungewear- which she was wearing more often because he loved seeing her in his clothes. It drove him mad.
Right now, she was in one of Evan's sets, a plain black shirt that hung off her shoulders and kept riding down her chest. And a pair of his grey sleep shorts because they were comfy and loose around her bump.
Once the washer was loaded, she sank back on her heels and stayed kneeling on the floor for a few moments. When her phone buzzed in her cardigan pocket, she fished it out, dragging her other hand through her hair to get it from her eyes.
*Will you go back to bed please? xx
How did Evan know?
How on Earth did he know that she had come downstairs to do the washing? Surely that couldn't just be intuition. If it was, he was basing it on the assumption that (Y/n) actually would be out of bed at that exact moment or that she would of gotten up at some point today which made him justified.
That couldn't be a coincidence, could it? That Evan messaged her the exact moment she got out of bed. She had only gotten out of bed today to go get a shower and then to go to the toilet a few times. This was the first time today that she had come downstairs.
She set her phone back in her pocket, deciding to ignore the message for now and think on how to respond. It took some effort to get to her feet and move to the fridge to grab herself a drink. Evan had started leaving her a few drinks upstairs before he left for work so she didn't have to make as many trips downstairs.
Anxiety pooled in her stomach when her phone went off again and she took a large gulp of juice before she dared to look.
*Baby, go to bed. xx
It was as if she could actually hear his voice and see his concerned expression staring down at her because she found herself trudging through into the living room. She aimed for the sofa, placing her drink down on the table before she eased down and snuggled into the fluffy blanket laid over the cushions.
She may as well sit down here for a while, it would be time to eat soon and the baby was getting peckish. And it meant she could sort the washing once it was done and not have to trek up and down the stairs more than once.
(Y/n) turned the tv on and selected a random movie, but a few minutes later, she felt her phone pinging in her pocket with a different notification. She knew that sound. That noise was drilled into her this past week.
It was her alarm.
She had set alarms on her phone to call Evan when he was at work to let him know she was okay.
Before her cramps last week, (Y/n) had text Evan a few times when he was on shift to check in so neither of them panicked about the other. But since she'd been put on bed rest, she had seen Evan's anxiety spark this last week. He didn't want anything to happen while he was at work, especially since he knew (Y/n) started having those cramps while he had been at work and she failed to mention it to him.
So now he wanted her to ring and check in with him so he knew she was doing okay. And (Y/n) knew what she was like, she had to set reminders or she would forget and then Evan would panic, which in turn made her panic.
"Hey baby." His voice was sugary sweet and (Y/n) could picture his usual charismatic smile on his face which made her want to smile too.
"I'm fine, you know." There was a cheesy element to her voice while she curled her knees up on the sofa and tried to burrow down to get comfy. As if she were a bird arranging feathers in a nest to make it homely.
She didn't want to ring Evan at work and have the team think she was pestering him or annoying him or being clingy. She would rather message him to say she was okay or she was tired or she couldn't wait for him to come home. But he wanted to hear her voice; Evan could tell when she was lying to him. He would know and judge by her voice if she was alright or not.
"Yeah, so why weren't you in bed?"
That all-knowing tone in his voice had (Y/n) shivering and coiling her free arm around her bump. It felt like the baby always knew when Evan was around because they livened up immediately.
"How'd you know?" Her response was quiet and she burrowed her face into the cushion.
"Intuition. And the motion sensors go off when we move around the house. What were you doing?" His voice changed to a playful undertone which made (Y/n) feel a bit better. He wasn't trying to start an argument or tell her off, he was checking in on her.
(Y/n) didn't think about the motion sensors in each room. They were in the corners of the ceiling and they flashed red when doors opened or motion was detected. Were they connected to Evan's phone? (Y/n) didn't think they were as technical as that, she thought they only connected to the security box in the hall that they barely used since (Y/n) was almost always home.
"The washing…"
A smirk formed on Evan's lips and he ran his free hand across the back of his neck, clicking it into place.
He didn't see any need to tell (Y/n) that there were cameras near the front door and in the living room. Evan added them for security, but they also came in very handy so he could keep an eye on (Y/n).
She worked from home now and that meant when Evan was at work, she was home alone. He didn't like the thought of leaving her all day, sometimes for double shifts, when (Y/n) was pregnant and prone to collapsing. This way, if she passed out or collapsed or had cramps again, Evan would be able to find out and get to her quicker. And if he saw that she wasn't well during the day and she didn't tell him, he knew to look after her and be concerned when he came home.
It also meant that when he had looked in the app now while he had a few minutes, he saw that she was downstairs doing something in the kitchen.
She was supposed to be on bed rest, Evan didn't want her overworking herself and doing all the jobs around the house when he would do them when he was home. She needed to rest, for her and the baby.
"You're on bedrest for a reason, baby. Leave the cleaning for me to do, you're supposed to take it easy." Evan didn't think he would have to keep telling (Y/n) to go and rest, he thought she would take it easy and not try and overdo it because of what the doctor said.
But if he had to keep telling her to go back to bed or to sit down and rest, then that's what he would do. He had to keep her and their baby safe and looked after.
"I feel useless."
"Having a baby doesn't class as useless."
He was glad his words seemed to make (Y/n) see reason and when she agreed with him, it felt like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
His phone stayed in his hand after they said goodbye and he looked back on the camera. She was watching tv in the living room. He had a funny feeling that she would still try and do some cleaning or mooch about the house in a while, but he would keep an eye on her. At least for now, she was resting like she was supposed to.
"All good?"
Evan twisted to look over his shoulder, spotting Hen stood behind the sofa with one brow arched and a smile on her face.
The team would never say anything, but they all knew something had been playing on Evan's mind for the last week or so. They had all been so happy for him when he told them that he and (Y/n) were back together and they were having a baby. Bobby had helped him and (Y/n) move in to their new home, the whole team had been round for a house-warming party. And Evan had brought (Y/n) by the station a few times.
But more recently, Evan was rather pre-occupied. It was like his body was here on shift, but his mind was somewhere else. It wasn't always a bad thing and he was never too distracted that he messed up on shift, but it was a little concerning.
"Yeah, yeah just checking in with (Y/n). She's on bedrest now, makes me worried, she won't tell me if she's not well."
At least Evan had other ways of making sure she was okay and keeping an eye on her.
***
"Thank you, these are so sweet." Leaning forward, (Y/n) folded the onesie up and placed it on the pile on the coffee table.
Her eyes cast over to Hen who was sat beside her on the sofa and she smiled as she tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. Hen had messaged Evan an hour ago, asking if they were both free and if she could come and see them for a bit.
(Y/n) had been glad she had been dressed and already moving around the house, almost as if she had some intuition that someone might be visiting them. She would hate to welcome Hen in while she was in her dressing gown or some of Evan's loungewear.
It had been a surprise when Hen came in with a bag and handed over about six onesies, some bibs, socks and cardigans. They were all different kinds, some with teddies on, some with moons and stars and a few plain ones. None gender-specific because they didn't know what they were having yet; they were keeping it a surprise.
"Just a few things me and Karen had from fostering, we thought you could use them instead."
"Thanks," Evan grinned and took another look through some of them, he rather liked the teddy bear onesie which was now one of his new favourites.
"Do you want a drink?"
"Sure, some coffee would be good."
(Y/n) swung her legs round and went to get up, but she paused when she felt Evan's hand on her thigh. And she watched as he got up before she had chance to push up from the sofa.
"You stay there, I've got it."
Rolling her lips together, (Y/n) let herself slouch back into the sofa and her hands moved to rest on her bump. Her feet started to jitter and tap against the floor as something to do and when she looked over at Hen, she smiled softly.
"Bedrest." She muttered softly, trying to hide the disappointment from her voice because of how useless this was making her feel.
Resting and taking it easy was all well and good, but (Y/n) didn't like not doing things and sitting around while Evan or anyone else did things for her. It made her feel like an ornament or some kind of helpless person.
She could make them all a drink, that wasn't too strenuous.
"Are you feeling any better?" Hen leaned back into the sofa and slouched her arm on the armrest while her brow rose and a tender look crossed her face.
"A bit… still a bit jittery I guess." (Y/n) wasn't going to lie, she was feeling a lot better than two weeks ago when she had those cramps. And resting meant she hadn't had anymore fainting spells. But it did mean she was getting vertigo and feeling uneasy when she was finally moving about from too much time doing nothing. And panicking was making her feel sick from time to time.
It was a sliding scale and (Y/n) couldn't seem to find any sense of balance, especially not when Evan was involved, tipping the scales in the direction he wanted.
Hen grinned, but her lips pursed and she leaned forward a little when (Y/n)'s phone pinged and she watched a flash of panic cross (Y/n)'s eyes. Hen couldn't help but notice the little reminder that flashed up on (Y/n)'s screen.
'Call babe and check in.'
And beneath the alert, in little bubble text, was a note that read 'next reminder in 3 hours.'
Adrenaline sparked in (Y/n)'s stomach and she dismissed the notification, glancing towards the kitchen as if to reassure herself that Evan was in there. She didn't have to call him today, he was already home with her. But that little flash of panic that dwelled in her chest appeared anyway. She always felt that rush and those sparks when her alerts went off as if she forgot that sometimes Evan was home with her and she didn't have to check in. She knew if she didn't message him soon he would worry and they would both spiral.
She tossed her phone onto the coffee table and managed a smile when Evan walked back through and set some drinks down on the table.
When he sat down beside her, (Y/n) moved her hand to his thigh and inched forwards on the edge of the seat. She tried to keep the smile on her face as she got up, feeling Evan's hand on her waist and his eyes following her.
"Where you going?"
"Just need the bathroom, again." Her hand moved to his shoulder as she passed and headed towards the stairs. The one good thing about when she stayed in bed was not having to heave up and down the stairs to go to the toilet.
Hen took the cup Evan offered her with a grateful smile and she sank back into the sofa with one leg curled beneath her. Her right elbow rested on the back of the sofa and she watched Evan glance back at the stairs, watching (Y/n) until she disappeared from sight.
"She still seems a bit anxious." Hen leaned her head on her hand and took a sip of coffee as she looked across at Evan.
"A little, that's why she works from home, she was getting stressed in the office."
It wasn't the only reason. Evan could keep an eye on (Y/n) better if she worked from home, but he knew she had been panicking a lot when she went to work. Being home meant she wasn't around other people who annoyed her or made her anxious. It meant if she wasn't well she could just rest instead of pushing herself too hard and she could choose her own hours to work during the day and take extended breaks.
And it meant if she wasn't well Evan could be around and look after her and tell her to take it easy, which he couldn't do if she was away from him in the office.
"You know she can still make drinks and walk around. I know she's meant to be resting, but she still needs to walk around, circulation and moving about is good for the baby."
She didn't want to butt in, she really didn't. Hen knew how much Evan cared and how he could get overprotective of those he loved and those close to him. She had seen him act this way when he was looking after Chris when Eddie wasn't well, and she had seen him panic about Bobby when their Captain wasn't well or was suffering mentally. He had even been overly cautious with her and Chimney at times.
But Hen didn't want Evan to start smothering (Y/n) or becoming a mother hen if he didn't need to. He would make them both anxious if he was too cautious with (Y/n) and that wouldn't help her.
"Really?" A grin lit up his face and the playful, joking tone in his voice made Hen want to smile.
"Buck, I see you at work, always checking your phone, and (Y/n)'s got reminders on her phone. Maybe you're… you're making each other stressed. You're worrying, (Y/n)'s trying to calm you down and cope at the same time."
Surely it wasn't such a good thing for (Y/n) to have to remind herself to call Evan and tell him she was okay and check in with him like she was a convict who needed monitoring. And if Evan was getting stressed and making her check in with him, that was going to backfire and make (Y/n) panic too.
Stress was one of the things they needed to avoid. (Y/n) was thirty-two weeks pregnant, she had to reach thirty-five weeks for the baby to have a better chance rather than being premature. And thirty-seven weeks was the main marker where there would be less complications and the baby wouldn't be classed as early. They weren't likely to reach that target at this rate.
Evan took a large gulp of coffee that burned the back of his throat and tasted sour on his tongue. He didn't like where Hen was going with this.
He needed (Y/n) to check in with him because she didn't tell him when she wasn't well so he had to have that confirmation so he knew not to panic and that he didn't have to think about taking her to the doctors again. He had to keep an eye on her because she seemed to overdo things without thinking and he didn't want her making herself ill.
"You might want to just calm down a little Buck, that's all I'm saying. No one wants (Y/n) going into labour yet, and fussing and worrying about her this much might stress (Y/n) out too."
Evan nodded and kept the smile plastered on his face to hide the discontent dwelling within him.
If he 'calmed down' then what would happen if he was at work and (Y/n) wasn't well? If he didn't get her to check in with him and she collapsed or she wasn't well and couldn't contact him, what would he do?
If Evan didn't tell her to take it easy and she started having cramps again or she went into early labour, he would feel partly to blame. He had to keep an eye on her and make sure she didn't overdo it so she and the baby were okay.
It was Evan's job to look after them, and he wouldn't have anyone tell him to stop. No matter their good intentions.

I know I've written a lot of "magic powers as a metaphor for neurodivergence/mental illness/etc"-posts before, but consider: An entire goddamn family that's got magical powers, but, like, undiagnosed.
A world where magical powers are something that's somewhat well-known, and though it's known they're not as uncommon as once thought, and that some people are born with a natural tendency for them, others may develop abilities after being exposed to magic, and while some people may figure out how to wield the little magical residue they have without aid, having strong magic in you that you haven't been trained to properly wield can and will Fucking Kill You. And there's a family with an insistence that there's no magic in their bloodline.
Like yeah, great-great-grandfather Thornskull was a great and powerful warlock, but we don't talk about that so that wasn't real and didn't happen. Random outbursts of Unexplained Phenomena are not caused by magic, surely you did something wrong and lied about it. Everyone has little accidental fires in the house every now and then, every other family is just better at managing and hiding it. One child of the family decides to rebel against their family's strong anti-magic stance and goes to an academy to become a wizard.
Standing in a classroom, practicing a spell of summoning fire, they attract the attention of a classmate going "hey how the fuck did you already figure that out, how did you learn to summon fire so fast", they don't know how to explain that they didn't just learn how to summon fire, but figured out how to do it on command, and how to make it stop at will. And the classmates will not accept "I don't know, it just happens" for an answer.
And it slowly sinks in that maybe having several childhood memories of walking in on your mother standing in the kitchen, uncontrollably vomiting outbursts of green flames, probably wasn't normal.

Yeah, people would say William was canonically married right? well- I'm kinda ashamed to wanna see anything about being William's side chick- 😭 Maybe William's wife was a bitchy or she had already cheated on him, and he wanted to have fun too perhaps...?
(idek if you commissions are still open. If they're not just lmk if u like idea lolzz)
Ngl i’m kinda torn with that idea. I don’t support cheating and i would never do that irl, buuut, sounds hot so i’ll let it pass just cuz it’s all fictional. And i’m gonna offer you a ✨thot✨
After being done with his bitchy and cheating wife, William definitely wants to take vengeance in the same way, so he gets involved with the first girl who catches his eye. And you are that girl. The new sweet waitress in the pizzeria.
First, he starts to flirt with you, approaching you slowly. Then, when you start to get closer, he decides to make you the one in charge of the springlock suits, teaching you how to maintain them and sometimes even helping him put on or take off the spring bonnie suit. Just to have more time with you, alone, backstage.
And once William is sure that you have fallen into his trap, he makes his last move. So it’s not long until you’re getting fucked in said backstage, against the cold wall, with your moans being silenced by the animatronics performing on the other side, hearing ‘talking in your sleep’ for the ninth time that day.
Since then, he becomes addicted to the thrill and dopamine rush. It’s a nice little game. So he fucks you in every place he can, his car, his office, on the prize counter…
But maybe, the real vengeance on his wife is taking you to his house and pounding you senseless on their shared bed as he grunts sweet nothings to you ear.
“Your young pussy feels so fucking good, so much tighter than hers. Maybe i should dump her and put a ring on you instead.”
#i dont recognize myself im sorry for this hahahs#william afton x reader#william afton smut#steve raglan smut#fnaf smut

Happy Birthday kenma x fem!reader
note: this is my first time writing real smut, i think. tell me what u guys think. i need feedback so i can get better. also had my friends proofread this for me, that's how anxious i am lol
Word count: 1.2k
CW: smut 18+, unprotected sex, P -> V sex, quickie, kissing, kenma is a whore and a lazy mf, reader has fem parts and is referred to as a girl, creampie, you pull his hair once, pet names.
divider cred: kithsune
"Ken! They're waiting for you what in the-" Your boyfriend, the birthday boy, is hurling you down the stairs... Into the little closet under the stairs to hide from his friends.
"I don't wanna hear Kuroo and Bokuto's shitty happy birthday singing." He mumbles quietly to you. Kuroo somehow has impeccable hearing. It's easy for him to pick your boyfriend out of a crowd with no problem.
"Oh come on Kenma, you listen to them sing every year. This one won't be any different." The closet provides no light and is stuffy. Even though you can't see your boyfriend you know there's a big pout on his face.
"Please.. it's so embarrassing. They always record it because they know I hate it." He grabs your hand, squeezing softly. His face is so close to yours you can feel his warm breath tickle your skin.
"Okay, then what do you suggest we do? They're gonna start looking for us soon. I'm sure the closet is kind of an obvious spot." One thing you'd never take into account when first dating Kenma was his sneakiness. So of course when you feel his hand slip up your shirt you gasp in shock.
"In the closet?" The disbelief in your voice caused a soft chuckle to escape the gamer's throat. You've watched him become more of a man every day, little by little. His deep voice reminds you of how in high school Kenma's voice was high pitched. He was the definition of puberty.
"Yeah, I haven't had you today because you've spent all day planning this dumb party. I think I'm ready for my birthday present."
He can't see you but he knows your body well enough to find those plush lips and plant a sloppy kiss on them. You meet his lips trying to match his slow pace. If you were being honest you wanted him too.. all day long.
His hands move from your tummy down to your ass, giving it a little squeeze. "I love your ass." He says opening his mouth while you continue to give him open-mouthed kisses along his pretty face.
"I think I can tell." You wrap your arms around his neck, placing little kisses on his neck. You know he likes it.
You're still unsure of doing this, mainly because all of Kenma's friends are not too far from the closet that has no lock on it. Things could easily go south. Kuroo would love to get in on the action if he were to find you guys, he has before.
A slim finger hooks onto your waistband and slowly pulls at it. "Quit being a tease. If we're doing this, then hurry up." Kenma only smirks at your sudden urgency.
Kenma closes the distance, his voice soft in your ear, "Calm down momma." He's playing dirty now.
He knows that nickname makes you fold. Every. Damn. Time. With your brain being slightly clouded he's able to take control.
You were suddenly grateful for the lack of light in the closet because you weren't planning to wear any cute panties until all the guests left.
He caresses your thigh, dragging out the growing arousal in your gut. There's most likely a wet spot on your panties right now.
"Is it bad I'm already hard?" His voice is hoarse even though you guys haven't done anything yet.
"Stop playing, touch me, Ken." You whine getting fed up with his incessant teasing.
"Okay, princess, whatever you want." Without wasting any time your panties are pulled down and two of Kenma's fingers find your dripping cunt.
He's quick to push his fingers in. It hurts just a little bit but the pain goes away as his fingers work you open. "Hah, so good cuz of my skillful gam-"
"Fuck- if you say your 'skillful gamer hands' I'm going to leave this closet." Kenma knows you won't leave the closet, not when he's fucking you so good with his fingers.
Your boyfriend continues at a quick pace. To stay upright you have one hand gripping his shoulder, while your other reaches to rub sloppy circles into your clit.
"So pretty when you touch yourself." He moans rather loudly. It takes him by surprise when you stop touching yourself to cover his mouth. Your juices get on his face.
"Shhhh. Your loud ass is gonna get us caught." Instead of listening to your warning, he tries to push you over the edge. His other hand finds your clit that you abandoned. You would think that his movement would be sloppy, but yet here he is being precise with the way he fucks you with his fingers.
This time around you let out a moan, not as loud as Kenma's. You've concluded that your boyfriend is kind of a slut for you.
Kenma knows that you're getting close. The way your breathing changes, the way you desperately clutch to him, the way you stumble on your words, he loves all of it.
"Getting close?" He teased.
You don't say anything- or more like you can't say anything. Pleasure clouds your mind. All you want is to cum.
"Hah- can't cum yet baby. 's my birthday." With that statement, he pulls his fingers out of your cunt to admire the slick on them.
The blonde pulls his cock free from those restraining pants of his. A small groan escapes those plush lips of his when he thumbs at his slit. And he doesn't warn you before entering your pussy.
You gasp rather loudly, his cock filling you up to the brim just the way you like it.
Kenma lets out the loudest moan ever when he feels your tight pussy squeeze him. You count about a minute before he starts to move.
His thrusts aren't calculated as usual. Kenma is a very smart person and weighs out his options before doing something, but when it comes to you, he always loses himself. He calls you the most dangerous weapon.
The grip you have on his shoulders is deadly. You decide to kiss him, only to shut up his loud moans.
Kenma continues at this uneven pace, fucking up into your dripping cunt. You move one hand into his hair to pull at it.
"Shit, Mommy- feels so good," Kenma whines into your ear and you melt on the spot.
Kenma feels you squeeze his cock more than you did before. Your eyes screw shut and you see white.
"I'm gonna-"
Kenma beats you to it by a few seconds. That pretty cock of his paints your insides white, not slowing down for a second. The sounds your bodies make slapping against each other are loud and obnoxious.
You're quick to cum after him, pleasure taking over your body, which almost gave out and it wasn't even crazy sex.
"Ken, we... we gotta hurry up. I'll go change and-"
Kenma finds your panties, and pulls them back up, a sinister smile growing. "Be good mama, don't let them know what we were doing."
"You don't expect me to go out there full of-"
"Hell yeah, I do." He pulls his boxers and pants up.
In the closet, he grabs your hand while leading you out.

Super Blue Moon: What you need to hear right now
This is a general intuitive reading meant for entertainment purposes. Take whatever resonates. I am still practicing my intuitive ability so feedback would be really helpful :))
Pile 1
You might be wanting peace, a quiet life. I'm seeing walks in the nature, consuming healthy unprocessed food, lots of fruits. You might like red or orange colored fruits (could be any). I'm sensing changes in lifestyle. Maybe you will relocate or renovate your home (changing your aesthetics and style). Your soulmate(romantic) or current partner or future partner(whatever resonates) is sending you messages of affirmation. Also they might like to stare at you and admire your features lol. I'm hearing: It's all about the little things. Maybe this is something you believe in or it is about to become a theme in your life in the near future. A short trip or holiday might soothe your nerves a bit, preferably somewhere cooler. Overall, I think change is coming your away; there's this picture of letting things go and relaxing in a lodge in the mountains while sunlight creeps in through the window. Yeah lots of sunshine imagery in this pile. It's about how the sun slowly warms you up. Slowly and surely you will be moving to the next stage.
Pile 2
Similar to pile 1, I think you might be in need of some sunlight lol. I'm seeing something about hobbies, so maybe you need to get back to them? You might not have completed a previous painting, book, blanket or whatever. I'm also seeing cakes which means some kind of celebration. It might be your friend's birthday soon. Yeah I'm hearing about a dear friend, someone you think is your soulmate (for some of you, they are :] ). Or maybe a connection where either person has romantic feelings and the other feels neutral. Some of you might be studying hard and preparing for your future job and you're trying to keep a positive mindset. I see so many drawings and scribbles in a notebook. This is the student pile. I'm also seeing baked food and the aroma of cafes. Maybe you like to do your work in a cafe with a cup of coffee and some cake. Also you might be secretive and like to keep things to yourself. Might be a homebody. You are working to chase a reward and you're feeling frustrated because the path is so long. Don't be too hard on yourself. Set small goals and reward yourself for finishing them.
Pile 3
Whimsical and airy vibes for this pile. I'm hearing that you might have witnessed something paranormal? Or something that just can't be real. Hmm existential crisis? Questioning the universe? Questioning yourself? I'm seeing wings. You might be wanting to just fly away lol. Or they could be angel wings. You might be feeling lonely. Recently you might have ended a friendship or relationship OR you might have lost someone so you feel empty. I'm really sorry for your loss :( A big phase of your life suddenly came to an end so you're feeling lost. Old memories flashing in your head. Though I also feel that someone wants to approach you with hopes of making new memories with you. They seem like a very doting person and also calm. 'Calm'; your head is a mess and you feel like you're not able to think clearly. You might be asking yourself, "Am I seeing/hearing things?", "Why am I not able to do such a simple task?" Maybe your spirit guides or guardian angel want(s) to communicate with you and for that I'm hearing lavender and mint. Meditation may also help you to sort out your thoughts.
Pile 4
This is the happy-go-lucky pile. I'm seeing you have so much fun with your friends! You seem like the type to uplift people's moods. It feels empty when you're not around. You might feel pressured to keep up this cheerful image. Lately someone might have been rude to you or accused you of something or just bad-mouthed you. You might have felt taken aback because of this and tried to reflect on yourself. Don't worry, they're just jealous. Maybe you started thinking about the time when your demeanor was very different from now; you were not a cheerful person to begin with, but you started acting this way because you wanted to be treated differently. Now that there has been a sudden rejection that is asking you to re evaluate your choices, you are considering reverting back to your old self. Or maybe you think a lot about your friendships and just feel overwhelmed by the love :( This is so wholesome. You feel deeply and often wonder about the outcomes of your actions. I think that's why you wanted change, you genuinely wanted to be of help to someone. Your friends really appreciate it even though they won't admit openly (for some of you, your friend is a tsundere lol)
Pile 5
An ethereal energy in this pile. Stargazing and being mesmerized. You know that feeling you get when you look up at the stars and wonder if someone is watching you? I think your guardian angels want you to know that they are always there for you. If not a guardian angel then a deceased loved one. You have big aspirations but you often feel intimidated. You may have doubts about the path you're choosing. I just want to say that you have the star quality and you're blessed. I'm hearing fate and good luck. If you have been manifesting, try using candles or star shaped objects. You can even use them as a lucky charm. "You drew stars around my scars" - this may apply to you and someone you know. Something about light at the end of the tunnel. 'Hope' ; someone or something gives you hope to keep going. You're working really hard, you just wonder if you'll get the results. This kind of reminds me of pile 2 so you might want to check that out. "Funny how all dreams come true"
Pile 6
You might be talking to someone and you don't really know where this is going? You can say it's a situation-ship. Or you're crushing hard on someone. Either way this is making you giddy. You might also be transforming yourself and so all the changes are making you feel giddy. A very new feeling. You're trying to look at things differently. You're trying to concentrate. You're craving some form of affection. The message I'm getting is that self care will help you get that faster. Also I'm hearing that you have a vibe that is easy to mesh with. People often find you attractive even when you're not doing anything. "Aphrodite's blessings" - you may get the glow-up you've been waiting for. Similar starry night vibes as pile 5. You're also really good at giving compliments and appreciating the beauty of the smallest things. You are a very loving person if you are given the space to do so. "Hang in there baby." - your future partner could be very devoted to you.
A channeled message for everyone: Please eat well !! And have some good sleep!! Take your vitamins!!

headcanon few will enjoy, but you (and the noblest of your followers) are among the enlightened:
poolverine starting out as hate sex (canon), as in they're fighting but wade is so so submissive and breedable about it and it makes logan horngry (horny-angry) (canon).
pero like. logan does something totally gruesome to wade and wade does not just quip 'harder daddy', does not just submit to it, does not even just moan like a whore, he fully comes in his pants about it lmfao.
and logan is like are you FUCKING KIDDING ME. and becomes even more horngry and starts doing gruesomer and gruesomer things to wade with the primary motivation to find his limit so he can finally actually fucking hurt him for real god damn it. and he keeps not finding it, and wade's kind of giving as good as he gets sure, but he's on some turn based shit, always eagerly pausing after he hits/stabs/bites back to let logan do whatever he's gonna do next, which is infuriating enough by itself WITHOUT the, yes, begging for more, and calling logan daddy AND kitten AND also calling himself both of those in the third person fucking CHRIST he's so annoying, and the moaning like a whore, and the slutty positions, and the bimbo giggling, and, every now and then, the fucking coming in his fucking pants again the absolute FREAK. until logan gets exhausted or runs out of ideas and has to take a breather (at which point of course wade says some type of "we should do this again some time" shit).
but THEN! slowly it turns less into hate why-don't-you-have-a-limit-i-can-cross sex and more into awed do-you-really-not-have-a-limit-i-can-cross sex. where logan will try something he's like ok SURELY no one could possibly get off on THIS, and then watches in incredulous wonder when wade proves him wrong before escalating, rinse and repeat.
which is how they end up with logan as the ms paint meme Creature in the pussy. like he's eating him out normal. ok good but boring, they're both bored by that, the only way that's gonna really Do It for them is if logan makes wade come like 87 times in 20 minutes and it hurts so bad and wade is so helpless and. you get it. so anyway, then logan puts his claws through wade's thighs to spread them how he wants them instead of just grabbing them, and he can feel that he definitely got some femur on the right, but wade squirting on his face is not about to escape his notice either lmao.
so then he's like okay i'll bite. and bites. and he bites like a real wolverine of course, sinking his teeth in and locking his jaw with 1k+ lbs of force. and he growls and shakes his prey a LITTLE bit just on instinct, but not too much yet because it still hasn't totally sunk in that he could behead wade with a thousand little cuts and wade would be into it. but yeah so obviously wade squeals and starts dirty talk begging for logan to literally eat him alive.
and on one hand. on the homo sapiens hand specifically. logan is like jfc this guy. but on the homo superior and/or canis lupus hand he's like KILL EAT FUCK!!! [creature.jpg]
and uh. so. well. he. he eats wade's pussy. i mean he doesn't like, chew and swallow his flesh, but only because he tears it up so much it's not really a solid food situation anymore. pussy puree. got their bedroom looking like bruce's eating dome after raspberry wednesday.
but yeah so wade's into it lmao. like really really really into it. obviously screaming from pain yes, but even more than that screaming in bliss, and maybe a little bit ecstatic shock that logan a) took his psycho dirty talk seriously and gave him exactly what he asked for even tho anyone else would assume it's just talk or tell him no wade you don't understand that's impossible, and b) lost control of himself because of wade which is truly just the sexiest possible thing to happen.
and in fact wade is so into it he wants to keep getting his cunt played with about it. but um. he doesn't. he doesn't have one. logan ate it out. like, literally. it's gone. so after he's done reaching elysium and seeing nirvana and getting his brain so flooded with endorphins and oxytocin that he probably shorts something out in there, after that he gets kinda bummed out because now he has to wait for his stupid pussy to grow back in order for logan to hurt it again :(
but at this point, it'd be a feat of its own for logan to not get this shit into his hardest-metal-on-earth head. not to mention of course when you are a sadist and your fucked up little freak of a masochist with a healing factor likes it that much when you hurt him that bad, you want nothing more than to hurt him again. the precious sweet little injured gazelle all alone on the prairie deserves to be gored and gutted for being such a good slut <3
so. logan pauses, a deliberate stretch of stillness where he doesn't do anything to wade but he doesn't move away either, so that wade will look down at him and see the hunting instinct still hot and heavy in his eyes, the slow ominous smirk he gives with equal parts slick and blood on his mouth.
and then he starts tongue fucking the wound. obviously.
(and now i'm imagining logan eating wade out all through the healing process as piece by piece of his pussy grows back...... hm.)
uh anyway. i think it's morning where you are. good morning lol.
GOOD GRIEF YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME BEFORE I HAVE TO DO AN EXAM ABOUT STATISTICS
I am gonna be CONSUMED by this for the next 500 years. Consumed. Like Logan consumed that cunt in raw, bloody bites.
There were so many moments when reading this where i had to just. Pause. Because holy shit. First, you are speaking directly to my soul. THIS IS IT. The nasty shit we ALL deserve. Second, HELP. Third, 'got their bedroom looking like bruce's eating dome after raspberry wednesday' has me r o l l i n g.
This is the most important essay since humanity's inception. It is the pinnacle of human art. It should be commemorated in museums worldwide.
He ate that pussy. He ate it.
And Wade whimpered for more.
#poolverine#deadpool 3#wolverine and deadpool#deadclaws#peanutbub#trans nsft#lime#nsft#wade wilson#logan howlett#ho-ho-hoLY SHIT#to reread. and reread. and reread again...#good GRIEF#i'm deceased. but this fic is reviving me like jesus from his grave#drawn back to life by the grotesque dead-dove fuckfest that poolverine should by all rights be#long post

"beauty and the beast au where zoro's the beast and sanji's—" okay sure yeah but what about when sanji's the beast and zoro's the beaut.
zoro's good with kids and good with math. we've seen this. we've experienced it. he play fights with the kids regularly and helps out with stocks and sales of local shops
think of link twilight princess... big brother swordsman
also better than All of the knights in the village. this includes a very certain red, blue, and green haired trio. they're all very bitter about it. among other things
zoro's also the only person to ever use three swords so like. there's that. everyone thinks he has a few screws loose. he doesn't. or so he proclaims
insert kuina backstory... he makes a promise to himself to become the greatest swordsman in the world. it's just that he's, in a word, broke. and also a little sentimental but don't let nami hear him say that
judge is the head of this mini military and is very adamant on trying to recruit zoro to siege the palace on the hill. for Some Reason.
nami conspires with zoro that it's because he has some long lost enemy up there. Little Does She Know
meanwhile sanji lives alone in the castle, cursed. but not in the way you'd think. rather than a hulking beast, he's pretty much the same if not for the fact that he has a helmet on his head. thanks, dad.
thinking about the rest of the straw hats being little dancing singing objects. that was more or less an accidental side effect of the curse (sanji took off his helmet once, and it knocked luffy into a candle and ussop into a clock and well.)
he's slowly starving (hence why he tried to take the helmet off). the cook who cannot taste his food. throw in a wilting rose metaphor and when the last petal falls is when he dies
fortunately he has an old man by the name of zeff who literally won't let that happen. also all his friends that will fight death to keep sanji kicking
quite literally in some cases
so that's why when nami goes missing trying to explore the mysterious castle and zoro immediately goes to follow her, zeff practically knocks down his door to set the fear of god in him
too bad zoro doesn't believe in any god
but hey fine he won't hurt the creature in the castle. creature. period. zeff hits him over the head with a baguette
zoro finds nami and also sanji. decides in a split moment to announce he'll trade places with her. she is sitting on a couch. unharmed. she wouldn't have Been harmed. nami proceeds to call him a fucking idiot
sanji laughs at him, and zoro refuses to leave out of spite. he learns that sanji is a priss and a prince or sometimes a princess depending on the day, that he has a brilliant passion for cooking (whose skills are similar to a certain chef back in the village), and that when he laughs, zoro finds himself laughing too.
discovers sanji's dream of the all blue, and zoro finds himself telling sanji about his dream of becoming the greatest swordsman, of wado, of kuina
and eventually, Eventually, he finds out the details of sanji's curse. why he sometimes can't dredge out the energy to get out of bed (and why it's getting more and more frequent these days), and why he can't take off that helmet when the key is right there. and what the flower is all about.
proceeds to Book It when sanji tells him about judge and his brothers. except he doesn't tell sanji this, so sanji is sitting around in the castle, heartbroken and wondering Why he's heartbroken, while zoro is marching back to his village, Pissed
zeff pulls him aside though and they go and find reiju after zoro tells him that sanji's condition is worsening
zoro comes Back but this time with sanji's real dad and sister in tow and after a lot of tears and yelling (at zoro) ((and zeff)) (((then at zoro again))) they devise a plan on how to take judge down.
zoro plans on beating up ichiji niji and yonji simultaneously which sanji disagrees with. specifically because he wants to be the one to kick niji into next week
yadayadayada insert fight scene bc this is already ungodly long and judge gets exiled and imprisoned. niji gets drop kicked. the helmet comes off just as the timer runs out (thinking that the only way it could come off was to not only have someone fall For "the beast" but to have said beast love himself too. which zoro did. #love)
happily ever after. sanji eats and cooks and zoro fights and they take care of each other and find all blue. okay goodnight
#op#zosan#roronoa zoro#black leg sanji#vinsmoke sanji#zoro x sanji#one piece#Yeah.#this got away from me help

*stands with hands on hips, staring at the floor* Look, I know we love to have the Command Batch be close brothers in art and fics. I am a staunch lover of the trope myself.
But what about, like in real life, where the people we grew up with or went to school with, they just fall out of contact. The friends made in high school don't always remain lifelong friends.
Yeah, they can say "we'll call each other and message everyday," or "we should hang out when our leaves overlap." But the war gets in the way of everything, like it tends to do. Slowly but surely the messages in the group chat peter out. There are too many things to do, and duty takes first priority over keeping contact with the people they knew as kids.
It's not for wont of trying, the commanders would still send little messages to each other, but it could be hours, days or weeks before there's a reply because of conflicting zones, lack of signal, or other messages pushing the chat further down the list.
There's also just the fact that the commanders find their people. Meaning, through time and shared experiences with their battalions, other clones click right into place, possibly even deeper than their batchmates. The camaraderie in surviving a massacre with only two of your men surviving is different than the experience of constant dehumanization on Coruscant.
It comes to a point where the Command Batch become, for lack of thinking of a better word, almost strangers to each other. They still keeps tabs on one another, just to make sure they're still alive, but that's pretty much as far as it goes now. Maybe they'll chitchat when their battalions work together, but the mission has to come first, so most of the talking is planning and strategizing. Even when their leaves do overlap, the thought of messaging for a meet-up might feel like a nuisance, because surely your batchmates are exhausted and don't want to be bothered.
So it goes, the commanders may have been close once, but that connection has been stretched and warped by war and time. They still have love for each other and it won't ever be forgotten, because how can anyone forget the people you grew up with. They were the right people they needed back then, but they're no longer the right people now.
#chili rambles#command batch#the clone wars#sleepy middle of the night brain at it again with the sad thoughts#was gonna save it as a draft to continue this later but nope! needed to type it all before i forgot my thought process#*tosses this out into the ether and goes back to fluffy dumb and brotherly love*

i keep thinking about that one bachelor au post so here's my take on it (i've never watched the bachelor or bachelorette so bear with me)
the bachelor au where steve's the bachelor and eddie is a contestant, but not because he actually wants to be, he's just in it for the paycheck. robin is also a contestant but only because her parents sent in her application without her knowing and she isn't out to them yet.
they both think that steve is overrated and definitely over hyped. typical rich kid with enough money to buy people's love, yada yada.
until they both start going on dates with them and then realize that it isn't exactly true. yes, he's rich, but he's also kind and funny and actually genuine once you get past the mask he puts on for everybody. eventually, eddie and robin find themselves looking forward to their dates.
only robin doesn't want to date him. he's slowly moving his way up the ranks to becoming her best friend, sure, but this is still tv. she's still expected to kiss him and confess her feelings for him. and when the time comes for her to do that, she can't.
they're in venice. steve is leaning in and robin is very aware of the cameras filming them. the back of her neck goes cold and her stomach churns and suddenly she's running in the opposite direction. her italian is passable so she ends up getting a taxi back to the hotel production put them in.
she locks herself in her en suite and presses her forehead against the cold porcelain. she doesn't know how long she sits there until her phone buzzes and she checks the notification. the nausea rises up her throat again. she forgot she gave steve her number.
there's a knock on her room door and another text.
r u ok? can i come in?
robin debates it but figures she owes him and explanation. she lets him in and they sit on the bathroom floor. robin tells him why she's on the show in the first place, about how she didn't know her parents signed her up until she got the phone call from the casting director. tells him that even if she gets kicked off, she can still use the money for her student loans.
she stares at the water in the toilet bowl when she comes out to him.
steve is quiet, processing, before he laughs. he's not laughing at her, he promises, but "robin. you're on a show with more than a handful of other queers, you know that, right? i'm bisexual."
and yeah, robin knew that, but it's different when you're not into the guy you're supposed to be romancing at all.
steve reassures her that it's okay, and that he still hopes they can be friends and keep in touch after the show ends.
robin would like that.
she apologizes to the production crew the next day and they're understanding and steve and robin get a re-do of their date. it's much more genuine this time, filled with laughs and digs as they eat gelato along the river and people watch and gossip.
it's the best robin's ever been on.
eddie, on the other hand. he's absolutely head over heels for steve, which is surprising even for him. he's trailer park trash, he's got absolutely nothing on steve harrington. not the name, not the money.
hell, the very first day, he insulted the guy's food choices right to his face without knowing it.
eddie wants the earth to give way underneath him and swallow him whole.
he plays it up on their first date, all fake niceties and empty smiles, until steve tells him point blank, "the guy that said the buffet was shit that first night? i want to get to know him."
eddie's flabbergasted.
steve opens up about all the fake people in his life, the ones who just take advantage of them and use him for their own gains. the ones who don't even bother to get to know the real him. the one that likes to play guitar and hang out with the gaggle of teenagers that follow him around all the time for some unknown reason.
he tells eddie about what he wants to do with his life, not what someone else has planned for him and eddie falls deeper and deeper.
this time, when steve leans in for a kiss, eddie doesn't shy away. their lips press together and it's the best goddamn kiss either one of them have ever had.
the show has a deadline, of course, and steve can't just spend all his time with eddie and robin. there are other contestants. robin knows her rose is strictly platonic and steve has already called her multiple times freaking out about his growing crush on eddie. she knows eddie has this in the bag.
the final night comes and the contestants have dwindled. there's only a small group of them left: eddie, robin, and another guy and girl they didn't bother learning the names of.
when steve chooses eddie after a moment of dramatic silence that kind of puts his own dm dramatics to shame, eddie doesn't hesitate to jump in steve's arms, wrap his legs around his waist, and plant a sloppy one on him right in front of the cameras.
#steddie#steddie ficlet#platonic stobin#the three muskequeers#something something steve going on a tv show to find romance and ending up finding both his romantic and platonic soulmates#cj talks#prompts

Hey, Mate. How are u? I've just seen your yandere Chan and changbin headcanons and I really like it! Can you please do a yandere skz reaction where their crush likes someone else?
Have a beautiful day! 💛
Thank you, mi amor!💖
YANDERE! STRAY KIDS REACTION: THEIR DARLING LIKES SOMEONE ELSE
CHRISTOPHER BANG
Oh well, we start hard already
We've already established previously that, out of the group, he's the most likely to turn yandere in real life. The divine @whatudowhennooneseesyou explained it in her blog before, and if she says it it must be be true, so
forgetting my short fangirl moment there . He got close to his Darling by showing her only his good sides and presenting himself like a friendly, reliable guy that she could count on for everything. He introduced himself into her life smoothly, carving his place in her routine while discreetly removing the "obstacles" that annoyed him. He won her trust quickly enough by forcing situations where his Darling got to see him as her knight in shining armour and felt compelled to rely on him, slowly but surely growing more dependant of him.
If there's a virtue Christopher has in quantity, it's patience. He's ready to wait as long as needed until he gets what he wants, and he's also the type to plan things in advance. So yeah, he's a fucking challenge to get away from.
He though he was doing great, that things were progressing like he planned, so imagine his utter shock when he learns his Darling has a crush on somebody else. She makes the mistake to tell him herself, asking for advice from a "good friend".
Once he gets over the initial loss of words, he's pissed. Very pissed. He's so fucking mad that, in the moment, he accidentally lets his nice guy act drop and loses control of his emotions in front of her. He starts an argument about it, claiming that person is not good enough and they're only going to hurt her, even if he barely knows them. Because who else could be worthy of Darling but himself? This mishap scares her and she ends up arguing back, running away from him in the end. He chastises himself for losing his cool like that later, furious that he ruined all of hard work into shaping a perfect image of him in her eyes. He can't stand the though of losing her, so he recomposes himself and already makes a plan to fix things.
First he gets in touch with her to apologize and make up for his behaviour. He's not sorry for the way he reacted, but he knows it scared her off and he knows that could prompt her to create distance, which he can't allow. Once again, he plays his charming and loving role to convince her, blaiming it on the stress of work and his desire to protect her, since most men are just pigs that would break her beautiful heart only he can do that. When she gets her to believe him, he grabs her hands in his and smiles, promising he'll help her the best way he can.
As soon as he's done recovering her trust, he's investigating that worthless piece of trash that has apparently stolen her affection. He has his contacts, so it doesn't take too long to get what he wants. He memorizes every single detail that he deems useful, just like he did with Darling, but this time is with entirely different purposes.
He's the type of "keep his enemies closer", so he'll befriend that person first and gain their trust, luring them into a false sense of security that it's more like a spider web, trapping them to be devoured without resistance. He gets that person to share secrets with him, things they regret, and Chris promises he won't ever tell a soul.
Some promises are meant to be broken.
He'll hold what he knows over their head to threaten them into staying away, or he'll straight up twist their words so his Darling can misinterpret them and feel betrayed/heartbroken. Obviously, he doesn't waste time into playing his role of brilliant hero and becomes her shoulder to cry on. This kind of validation is like oxygen for him, he can't get enough.
If the person proves to be persistant, he'll take more drastic measures and get rid of them permanently from Darling's life.
"It's okay, doll. It's not your fault. How could you've known they were so terrible? I never fully trusted them, but you seemed so happy and convinced. This is why you should listen to me. I only want the best for you.
LEE KNOW
We've also discussed him a bit in previous posts, but we'll profundize more here.
He's a passive yandere. The type to observe and "care" for his Darling from afar, unnoticed. Never intervening directly unless he absolutely has to. He'll be infatuated for years before gathering the courage to talk to you. But once he finally does, he'll win over his Darling quickly because he just seems to be so sync with her.
Truth is that, during all the time he's spent pining for her from the shadows, he has recopiled every bit of information about her he could get his hands on. Stalking, hacking, stealing personal belongings to treat as "treasures", you know it. While he didn't feel capable of havin a face to face interaction with her, he found comfort in observing her on her daily tasks. He knows her favourite food, color, animal, names of her friends and relatives, the perfume she uses, the places she frecuents and her special events.
His aproach would be slow at first, probably reaching out to her through social media (he has follows her in all of them and has a hacked all her accounts at some point) to chat about common interests, and after he feels they're both on friendly enough terms, he'll arrange a meeting in real life in one of her favourite places.
And because he's so in touch with everything that happens with her, he finds out about her crush before she even tells him. He goes through various phases, like sadness, heartbreak, rage. He just can't fit his head around such concept. Hasn't he proven himself enough to her? He has gone such lenghts to protect her, to get to know her, shaping himself to become the man of her dreams. Did he fail somewhere? What else he should do?
Then it dawns to him. It's not fault. Of course he followed all steps, did everything perfectly. By all accounts, his Darling should've fallen for him already. But maybe he chose the wrong aproach.
Maybe he needs to be more clear about his intentions.
He doesn't have Chris' discretion or long-game. He doesn't want to sit around and wait, he's done that enough for years.
He can't fake friendliness even if he tries, so his solution is kidnapping the person and threaten them to stay away from his Darling's life. If that doesn't work, he'll simply keep them hidden until their existence begins to be forgotten. He could also use them as a boxing bag to let out his frustations, who knows.
@whatsk-poppinhomies has the perfect description of yandere Minho, as I mentioned in another post. Go check it out!
SEO CHANGBIN
He's the egocentric type, to that makes him dangerous and scary but also predictable.
He lives off the praise and admiration from others. He's constantly showing off, fishing out all kind of validation to feed his ego. He also takes great care of his appareance and everything involved in the way he presents himself to the people.
Imagine the stereotypical jock of american movies that's popular and always being the centre of attention. That's him. He needs to feel eyes on him and be admired or else he'll get slightly insecure.
He'll try to catch his Darling's attention by doing exactly what he does to the rest: Showing off. He'll spoil the shit out her and do anything in his power to prove that he's the ideal partner. That no one is gonna treat her better than he does.
He'll become his Darling's slave, her biggest simp. He'll run up to her if he sees her in the same place as him and trail behind her back like an eager puppy, ready to bend himself backwards for her wishes.
Darling might feel overwhelmed by the constant attention and expensive gestures, but he has no plans on stopping, even if she asks him. Then he'll try to tune it down for her sake, but he's uncapable of stopping. He feels the urge to worship the ground she walks on.
He invades every space of her life with his boaming presence and craves himself into her routine, making sure he's the first and last face she sees everyday. If someone seems to "steal" the time that's rigthfully his, he'll drop that bubbly attitude quickly and become very intimidating. He's short but those muscles don't lie and he knows how to use them.
He has a high self-steem, so he's not jealous per se. However, he enjoys marking what's his and let other people know. He's prideful and has a similar disposition to Chris, in terms that they act more like dogs by how much they remind their partners and everyone else who they belong to.
He'll very, very angry if he finds out his Darling has a crush on someone that's not him. He feels his efforts weren't enough. He feels his ego is being questioned.
Unlike the previous two, he lacks self-control over emotions and he's rather impulsive, so he'll probably get into a fight with his rival or/and his Darling too.
He's a lot more direct about this matter. He'll use his position to berate Darling's crush until their reputation shatters or they decide to run away from the harassment. Changbin would be merciless.
Humiliations, fake rumours, pranks that leave injuries too serious to be just that. He'll be a manual bully, and a terrible one because no one dares to fight back. He's stronger than most, intimidating when he wants to, and has no problem sending someone to an hospital if they piss him off enough.
Eventually he'll drive his rival far from his Darling so he doesn't return, but if that doesn't work, well...he's ready to take permanent measures.
HWANG HYUNJIN
oh fuck here we go
Another dangerous one if he falls to the yandere side. He's as bad as Christopher, the kind of yandere that you can't escape alone and most likely you never will.
He's highly narcissistic and self-centered, but unlike Changbin, you won't ever see him coming. And while Chris' red flags can be more noticeable, Hyunjin's are invisible until it's too late.
He's a great actor, a manual manipulator and the perfect wattpad boyfriend. And by this I mean that every breath he takes is pure 🚩🚩🚩.
Seriously, if I had to pick, I'll run to Christopher Bang with no second though, because he's at least somewhat nice and truly feels like he cares.
Hyunjin doesn't. He believes he does, but that's not it.
He doesn't necessarily want to have a fairytale romance with his Darling. He simply wants to own her. Be the centre of her life and have her at his beck and call. Like I said, narcissistic.
He'll be drawn to someone that doesn't pay attention to him at first. He's used to have people worshipping the ground he walks on and surrounded by admirers, so seeing someone that treats him differently inmediatly picks his interest. And so he goes after her doing everything in his power to impress her and get her to look at him the same way most people do. He can't stand not having everyone infatuated by him.
He'll be the classic love interest that never takes no for an answer, ignores boundaries and takes the protagonist for granted. He thinks being allowed to be with him is an honor. He doesn't really care if the girl is comfortable with the situation, he's set on "fixing the anomaly".
As he begins to develop feelings for his Darling that go beyond winning this game of "hard to get", he starts to idealize her to unsane levels and even gives her traits that she doesn't actually have, just to fit his perfect narrative. If she doesn't have them, then he'll just have to make her, right?
He's charming and has a way with words, but his ego might cost him vision. He uses his image of "dream prince" to his advantage and plays the role for his Darling. He intends to turn her into his muse, a doll crafted by and for himself. He'll smoothly move her to change some aspects of herself to his preference.
His ego, eventually, confirms to be a burden. He's confident on his own perfection and he sees himself as the best option out of everyone and everything, so discovering his Darling apparently has a crush on someone is a mindfuck for him.
But he recovers quickly. As soon as the shock is over, it gets replaced with rage. For the first time in his life, he feels surpassed by someone. And he hates losing.
He'll sabotage every possible relationship Darling could have with anyone. If he can't have her, no one will. Simple. Until she realizes her only viable option is to be with him.
He's the type to ruin his Darling's life too and break her, so he can pick up the pieces and put them back how he wishes. Make her undesirable for other people so she thinks he's the only one that would ever love her.
HAN JISUNG
A nightmare for your emotional health. Dating him on a regular setting would be already a roller coaster, but as a yandere? You'll need fucking therapy and lots of patience, if you ever get out of it of course.
He relies heavily on emotional reactions and playing the victim card. He might actually believe he's a victim. He's impulsive too, but not like Changbin. He's another subtle manipulator, but unlike Hyunjin and Chris who use mental games, he hits you where it hurts.
He's prone to breakdowns and his mental health isn't the most stable at times, so he'll probably fall for his Darling when she helped him through one of his episodes and comforted them. As soon as he felt her warm hands and kind smile, boom. The path to obsession began.
He can be very insecure and distrusting, so he'll get jealous even when they're not even together yet. He thinks everyone that gets close to her has romantic interests and fears they'll take her away. He reflects his own feelings and thoughts unto other people.
Due to his insecurities, he believes everyone is better than him and so, if he lets Darling see other people than him, she'll surely reject him.
He's moody, so he'll go through periods where he's extremely clingy and others where he isolates himself. In both cases, however, he needs to know she's near or else he'll fall in a pit of panic. It reassures him.
He's very attached to his Darling, probably the most out of all. His dependency is completely toxic and it moves him to push people of her life so he can have her entirely for himself. He hates having to share her time and attention, so what's the solution?
Make sure he's the only person she has to talk to.
I think it's important to note that Jisung, while being emotional, is far from stupid. He's in fact one of the smartest in the group, so don't let the shy, soft persona fool you.
He's quick to pick on details, and that includes weaknesses. If he realizes his Darling can't stand seeing him sad or angry, you bet he'll use to his full benefit. He'll throw tantrums and randomly stop talking to her so she has to go after him to know what's wrong and "fix it". Seeing her give him so much attention comforts him.
If he catches on the fact that Darling has feelings for someone else, boy he'll go insane. You think his moodiness and bipolarity were bad before? Be prepared to see it ten times worse.
He wont' stand it, and he'll make that very clear. Another one that'll sabotage any type of relationships she has, but unlike Hyunjin, he'll never go as far as to hurt her or ruin her, because he adores her too much. No, all the damage is directed against those who try to steal her from him.
He'll play the victim card and pretend they were the ones who started the conflict, lying that they made fun of him or they're all speaking ill of her behind her back. He'll paint them as villains and his tears would do the rest.
If that doesn't work, he has no problem locking her up in his house. After all, this would allow him to have her everyday by his side like he wants.
He's highly dependant, very clingy and very sneaky. He's emotionally unstable, so she might see the danger before entering a relationship with him.
LEE FELIX
I really can't see this heaven-sent human as a yandere, but I'll try
He's very similar to Jisung, so it's easy to assume they'll follow similar aproaches. Not for nothing they're called Sunshine twins.
He's also very driven by emotions but he's less impulsive than Han. He prefers to think a bit more before acting, since he wants to look the best at all times for his Darling. That means keeping up appareances with other people too, even if he doesn't like them or can't stand their closeness to her. He wants to earn her through her friends first.
He basically charms everyone around him with his sunshine persona, offering home-made brownies and overall being a cute perfect boy. No one dislikes him and she has only heard great things about him, so she's at ease with him.
She doesn't that he eliminates anyone that suspects his dark side or speaks badly about him. That's why he's seemingly flawless in her eyes.
Because there's literally no one that talks bad about him.
He falls for his Darling due to the simplest things. Maybe a casual warm smile she directed at him once or her complimenting his baker skills. Simple gestures that are plain friendliness and politeness but his deranged mind interprets them in another sense.
He's delusional. A lot, really. If all his interactions with his Darling feel positive and she doesn't reject his advances, that's enough to make him believe his feelings are returned and she feels exactly the same for him.
He'll get close to her by befriending her first, obviously. He wants to take it slow, go step by step in fear he ruins it. He earns her trust and enphasizes his good traits for her. Of course, he uses his deep voice too (because he knows that's one of his best assets)
He's so gentle and kind and understanding, such a good listener. He provides for her and spoils her to the brim. It's only natural she trusts him with her secrets and confides in him.
Including to ask advice regarding her new crush...that's not him.
He doesn't let his inner turmoil be shown. He smiles softly and plays the sweetheart act until she leaves. Once she's out of sight, he finally loses the composure and unleashes the dark emotions he's been hiding for so long.
He doesn't understand. He has done everything perfectly. He's been nothing but charming to her, nothing but a good boy and flawless. He has made her laugh like nobody else, cared for her like a dutiful boyfriend. He's been basically a dream guy. Where did it go wrong?
But he refuses to lose like this. She's only confused, that's it. He shouldn't been so tolerant of the people she hang out with, should've watched better her surroundings. If he does it right, he'll open her eyes and move her back to the right path.
He knows there's no one better than him for his Darling. No one but him deserves her. No one can love her like he does, take care of her like he does.
So he does the only reasonable thing, the same he's done previously with other pests: Remove the obstacle permanently from his life.
KIM SEUNGMIN
Another master manipulator here.
No but for real, he's also relies on his intelligence, and these are the most dangerous and hard to escape out of all.
He plans every move he makes beforehands. He knows what he's doing at all times and, if not, he always has a plan B. He hates the idea of failing.
He's too cool to admit his feelings, so he tries his best to ignore/supress them. Last thing he wants is appear weak and/or vulnerable.
Obviously, he eventually embraces his obsession love and starts to formule a plan. He's another one that's more than willing to play the long game. .
He's only the right amount of polite when he's with his Darling and never more. He purposedly plays hard to get so she'll become interested in him and aproaches him first.
He'll be kind and friendly one day, and the other behave coldly and indifferent. He confuses her constantly in hopes she's drawn to his mysterious side and pays more attention to him.
They won't become friends per se, and he'll become more like a passive yandere like Minho. Watching her from afar and controlling what happens in her life without her knowledge. He'll collect her belongings too, although he won't make a fucking shrine like Minho would. He sees them as trinklets, memories from her. And also as material to learn more about her.
He's highly observant and discreet. Chances of him getting caught are very slim, and there's no way anyone could suspect of his tendencies. He's specially careful around his Darling, so unless her friends have all keen eyes, he could spend an entire life doing this.
He has her entire profile and routines memorized. Her adress, her relatives and friends, the teachers she's had and the places she likes to go. He uses all that information to create interactions where they're "casually" on the same place at the same time or he "accidentally" meets with some of the people she knows who in return talk to her about him.
Step by step, he makes his way through his Darling's life, with zero suspicions.
Unlike Minho, he'll actually aproach her when he follows her somewhere. He doesn't remain hidden, since he wants her to think they both frecuent the same places to see how much in common they have.
He figures out her crush before she has the time to say it. Since they're not close yet (much to his suffering), he finds out from other sources.
He's calm about the whole deal. Well, he still gets angry and has murderous thoughts, but he's an strategist. He has an entire journal with everything there is to know about her. He's good at gathering info.
So he does the same with his rival...but with entirely different purposes.
However, he doesn't simply expose his darkest secrets and removes him from his Darling's path quickly. Oh no. He has a sadist vein. He manipulates everything from the sidelines so his Darling ends up rejecting this person by herself, twisting their image in her eyes so she grows disgusted or uncomfortable with them.
And absolutely no one suspects him.
Once that pest is out of the way after a delicious and humiliating rejection, he moves back to his routine. This event may push him to accelerate the plan and strenghten his bond with Darling.
YANG JEONGIN
Another emotionally unstable one. Lord have mercy.
He's actually more mature that people give him credit for, but he has a certain brattiness, product of usually getting what he wants.
He's impulsive and prideful. The type to resort to the silent treatment if gets angry at someone. He refuses to give in first.
People often see just his cute, maknae persona and get fooled by how coddled he is, but everyone has dark sides, and his particularly can be very intimidating.
Have you seen his angry face? Yeah, I'll burst out crying if someone looked at me like that.
Moving on
He struggles to express his feelings openly, but he also expects his Darling to simply guess them and gets offended if she doesn't act accordingly. He expects her to read his mind.
His Darling would be either an old friend or a co-worker. He likes to remain in his circle, so he feels a bit more in control.
He'll admire her from afar and then aproach her by using his soft, cute maknae act to get attention and care, like he wants. He's used to be the centre of attention because of his cuteness, and let's be honest, she wouldn't resist it either.
He'll make sure her eyes are always fully on him, at all times. If she's paying attention to someone else, he's quick to snatch her with excuses like "i need help with this" "i don't know how to do this" "i'm nervous, can you be with me'" etc.
Another manipulator too. Of course, he learns from the bests of the category.
Meaning he knows how to pretend and act to get his way. He's not as innocent as he lets on.
He gets jealous and he doesn't hide it. He has two moods: He throws a tantrum and pouts (in front of his Darling), and he glares and mocks at the other person (when Darling is away).
Speaking of this, he'll bully anyone that shows interest in her. Like, literally bullying.
I mean intimidation, harassment, bad pranks. All behind her back, of course. He'll eventually convince people to not get close to her, and he'll be fucking happy about it.
Now there's no way she cannot notice him.
At least that's what he thinks, until he hears that his Darling has set her eyes on someone. And it's not him.
Out of all of them, he's the most likely to be caught by her, since he has a hard time hiding his anger.
He'll be resolved to kick that person out of Darling's life one way or another. Oh, and he'll also refuse to speak to her altogether, feeling "betrayed". Again, emotionally unstable and bratty.
Seriously, that person would go through hell. It'll be a mix of Changbin and Jisung. He'll try to play the victim and paint the other as the abuser.
However, he's so deep in with his rage that he gets sloppy. His Darling might caught wind of his harassment to others. She'll probably catch him mid-fight or provoking someone, making fun of them.
When she asks and tries to intervene, he doesn't answer. He doesn't want ignore her forever, but she hurt his pride by liking some other asshole, so he remains in the silent treatment.
He wants her to feel guilty, that it's her fault somehow. Emotional manipulation it's his weapon.
If he plays his cards right, he might get inside her mind and do what he wants with her. If not, she'll believe what she sees and cross him as a bully, avoiding him for good.
Regardless, his rival would be gone. That he'll make sure o

There's something I find pretty messed up about Little's part of the story. Penny is dead. The story puts focus on this and how it's effecting Ruby and is why Little's death is what breaks Ruby. The volume ends though with Little coming back so it's a happy end, right? Except Penny is still dead and never coming back. And they are going back to a world where people die when they are killed. It's like "Forget about your dead friend cause we got one where your actions don't have consequences."
Yeah, that's an issue with the Ascension arc as a whole. As discussed previously, we're already starting from a place of confusing messages because the world can't decide what Ascension exactly is. Some beings lose all their memories and (arguably as a result) their sense of self. Some just seem to get cool upgrades. Some change in such monumental ways they probably can't go back to their old life even if they wanted to (can Somewhat ever live with the other mice again now that they're like fifty times their size?). And some, Like Ruby, undergo no changes at all except a convenient and ambiguous ~emotional clarity~
So Ascension is a catch-all "Anything could happen" situation where all options, no matter how shady they appear to the audience, are eventually presented as #good by the show... except I'm 100% sure they only come across that way BECAUSE they happen to side characters we're not invested in/are leaving behind. Would people honestly have been happy if Ruby:
Completely forgot who she was (King)
Got some crazy physical upgrade that would fundamentally change the power dynamics of the show/other her in Remnant/imply that she's a faunus to strangers if she got some animal trait (the Caterpillar/Somewhat)
Came away with a new "purpose" and decided she didn't want to be a Huntress anymore (the Paper Pleasers)
There's a reason Ruby did not change except to inexplicably regain her confidence because the show and on some level recognizes that these options are indeed an awful kind of "death," something that would be bad to do to your main character (baring a monumental shift in the show). When we talk about the importance of growth (in real life and in fiction) we're referencing a context in which a person changes slowly over time, adapting to each change in a natural way, all of it a combination of environmental factors and personal agency. To just have some magical tree instantly change you without consent, making you "better" by its own, undefined parameters... that's not wonderful, that's horrifying! But as you say, even if we overlook all that and come at Ascension from a direction the story wants, accepting and praising such an aspect of this world... Team RWBY doesn't live in that world. What did they learn from this then? Yay for people who live in alternate realities because they get to become "better" rather than dying? Good for them, but our friends are still dead and our lives are still on the line.
If RWBY wanted this arc they not only needed to reeeeeally clean up what Ascension is/how it works, but decide on the message they're trying to impart. Because what we got, on a literal level, is Ruby being depressed enough to choose ending (that version of) her life, instead being rewarded for that choice by a pantheon she's kinda fighting against (in a way that both skips her development and ignores every other implied rule of Ascension), and is returning to a world where none of this matters because death is a Permanent Thing That She's Going to Be Seeing a Whole Lot More of Soon.
Penny is dead. Many other allies are dead. Weiss' Kingdom is gone. Salem is set to exterminate the rest of Remnant, and instead of dealing with any of that Volume 9 gave Team RWBY a (literal) fantasy world where everything is just fine, actually. Wouldn't it be cool if no one actually died and whenever it seems like they did they'd just come back as an upgraded version of themselves? Yeah! Too bad that's not the reality they're heading back to.
Honestly, the way to clean up all of Volume 9 for me is to slap a "It was just a dream" disclaimer on it. Volume 10 we learn that Ruby had a crazy, contradictory fever dream post-battle in which the biggest trauma she's ever faced is magically fixed by her subconscious? Yeah, that tracks. More than taking Volume 9 at face value.
