SCENES FROM MY NEXT FIC.
EXPLICIT
DONNA/JODY
Maybe it was the wine or maybe she had gained some courage being in the actual presence of Donna, but she was quickly to her feet, hand held out, an offering to Donna. This could blow blow up in her face, but as Donna's hand slipped into her own, she knew in her gut that there would be no going back from whatever was about to happen.

DPxDC Places To Sleep
I've seen many fics and prompts with Homeless Danny, and I've just had a thought: what's the safest place to sleep at night when you a) don't have a home, b) can turn intangible and invisible, and c) are not afraid of mortals' justice system since you're dead and it doesn't really apply to you?
Cop cars.
Cops patrol the streets at night, but really, they mostly just pick a place and stay there until something happens, right? (I mean, I think that's right, I'm not very educated on the matter)
So, say Danny is in Gotham, and he needs a place to sleep, but it's the most crime-ridden city in the world, and sleeping out in the streets is cold and uncomfortable. And sure, he can climb into any car, but he chooses the cop car because, first, it's got a radio, so if the cops get any alerts about him (you can't tell me that GIW wouldn't use the help of local police, they are government agents after all), he will hear it first. Second, it's warm and cozy and soft. Third, and the most important: no one is going to look for him there! It's like hiding in plain sight but even better.
Or, well, it is, until one night the cop car he is sleeping in gets dispatched to some crime scene along with about a dozen others, and it turns out to be some trafficking rink that got busted or whatnot, and there are a lot of people who need to be taken to the GCPD station. So Danny, sleepy and grumpy because he was suddenly woken up, searches for the first still running but empty car, while staying invisible and intangible, and when he finds it, he just crashes in the back seat.
He is very surprised a few minutes later when the motherfucking Batman jumps in the front seat, and at least three of his sidekicks are trying to squeeze themselves in the back.
The Bats are even more surprised when they find a random teenager flickering in and out of visibility in the back seat of Batmobile, his eyes wide as saucers and Lazarus green.

Always Favors You
Another Sibling Danny and Jason idea!!
"Are you Jason Peter Todd?!" demanded a deep and commanding tone from the strange glowing being in front of them.
All the Bats stiffened and tensed, no doubt gearing up for a fight against the being that somehow knew Red Hood's full name.
Jason, Red Hood, decided to put on a brave front despite no doubt cursing in his head and wondering how the heck did this thing know his full freaking name.
"Whose asking." he snarled out, his hands twitching for his gun when the huge glowing knight with purple flames coming out of his helmet and cape, who was riding on a nightmare looking horse while they all had been in the cave going over tonight's patrol.
The Knight didn't seemed bothered by his response nor did he even seem to care or flinch when Batman made his own demand on 'Why was he there and who was he' or when Damian unsheathed his sword and pointed it towards him. Instead the strange glowing Knight reached to it side and pulled out... A glowing scroll? Huh. (Also he completely unnerved everyone in the room when the Knight didn't even react when Batman had tossed a Baterang when he reached for his side)
The Knight opened the scroll and spoke clearly with purpose.
"Jason Peter Todd,
You are hereby invited as a special guest of honor to the crowning of our future King of the Infinite Realms.
Daniel Phantom, once Daniel Jackson Fenton, and once Daniel Austen Todd.
Prince of the Infinite Realms, the Keeper of Balance, The Peacekeeping Halfa, the Defeater of the Tyrant King Pariah Dark, The Great One, Youngest of the Ancients, Ancient of Space, The Bridge between Life and Death.
You, the half-brother of our King, have been given the highest of honors for your past actions and will be given housing and food in the Realms and Phantom's Keep, for the week long event. Personal servants and attendants will be at your disposal and a seamstress will be on hand to tailor make your attire for the Coronation.
Signed: Clockwork. Ancient of Time. Watcher of the Infinite Timeline. Kronos. Mentor and Adviser.
PS: I shall have Fright Knight ("Me" the Knight bluntly said for a second) leave this scroll along with a personal one for you from Daniel to read over and once you make up your mind sign the bottom of the scroll.
I do hope in time you will pick the right choice Jason Todd, we of the Infinite Realms would like to reward you for your actions. After all, if you hadn't gotten young Daniel away from your father that night all those years ago, we would never had gained our Prince nor be free from our once Tyrant King.
Ah, one more thing.
The Infinite Realms will always favor you Jason."
Jason felt like he couldn't breath as Fright Knight? Rolled up the scroll, pulled a letter from his side, and held out the two items for him to take.

Ghost Kitchen (brought to you by criminal entrepreneur, Red Hood)
Dannyâs got the easiest job in Gotham.
He works as a fry cook at a shoddily-run, independent burger joint. Hardly anyone comes in, despite prices being criminally low, and portions insanely large, and while the manager looks like the average tough-as-nails ex-con, he lets Danny mess around in the kitchen whenever the place is empty. (Which is often. This place has to be the cityâs hidden gem or something!)
Mr. Managerâs the only one ever there with Danny, except for sometimes when his buddies come over to smoke and play cards. Danny would find it shady, except part of his job is not to ask questions. Literally, he was told during the interview.
(It was a weird interview. Why would they need to hire someone whoâs been in a gunfight before? Like, he has, but Gothamâs idea of âhirable qualitiesâ is so bizarre.)
So instead he whips up some killer burgers with the frozen ingredients, and basks in the praise as the guys tell him he shouldnât have, he does too much for this joint, ainât that friendly!
Now, Dannyâs a chef on the newer side. As a teen heâd preferred the look of Nasty Burger over anything with Michelin stars, and he only really took up cooking after Jazz moved out for college. But just like ecto-exposure used to turn the groceries sentient, Dannyâs low-level ecto signature imbues all his food with something historically haunted Gothamites just love! And Dannyâs never been one to half-ass a job when it makes people happy.
With fresher produce, real meat, Dannyâs sure he can take his dishes to the next level. It takes a couple months of badgering, but his manager finally agrees to contact the mysterious store owner, who keeps the place going, despite profits Danny knows have to be in the red.
Danny spends the morning prepping. He pours his heart into his food, eager to impress. The big boss will be here soon, and he wants to prove that despite the dangerous location, this place has real potential!
It isnât until the Red Hood shows up that Danny realizes heâs been working for a money laundering scheme.
#ecto has a weird effect on them actually. a lot like how danielle drinks ecto to keep her stable#ecto has positive health benefits for gothamites! it boosts their immune system gives them a little more energy makes them less irritable#silly hc but i think its fun#also danny just. thought it was a normal ass interview. the person who hired him was heavily hinting at the criminal element of his job the#whole time. danny just kept thinking man i cant believe all interviews are like this in gotham. every one of the#m asks if im okay lying to cops. i am but its weird i never got asked this in amity#dpxdc#dcxdp#dc x dp#dp x dc#dead on main#ghost kitchen au#danny fenton#jason todd#kipwrite

Two Faced -Yandere Stalker/Cop
Yandere! Cop who pulls you over for a DUI. You're barely under the legal limit and it's clear you can't hold your liquor in the slightest.
Yandere! Cop who feels his cock twitch when you blow into the breathalyser, your eyes flickering up at him all half lidded like he's just fucked you raw, teasing him that most fellas don't say please as nice as you do officer.
Yandere! Cop who says he'll follow you home, just to make sure you're safe. You don't see anything strange about it, he's a cop after all. But now he knows where you live, he knows what car you drive, he knows that your roommates always leave for school at the same time you do.
Yandere! Cop who looks so damn good in his uniform, who has the muscles to fill it out just right.
Yandere! Cop figures out early on that you're a hard-core party girl. Different guys coming home with you every weekend. He doesn't like it, but he understands. You're probably just lonely - filling your bed with strangers to chase away the cold.
Yandere! Cop aims to fix that.
Yandere! Cop who makes sure he gets the weekend off and who makes sure to run into you at the club. You're totally wasted this time, hanging onto his arm and running your fingers up his biceps, giggling about what big muscles you have officer.
Yandere! Cop who takes you home and just let's you sleep it off in his bed. His cock is raging and he wants to fuck you more than anything, but he's a gentleman and you're hammered.
Yandere! Cop who makes you breakfast and a good ol' fashioned hangover cure all the cops swear by. He drives you home and tilts your chin up to kiss you. "How about a proper date, babydoll?"
You giggle and blush and slip away before he can get an answer.
Yandere! Cop who can never get with you in the daylight. You'll kiss him and grind up against him on the dance floor and warm his bed later that night, but you're almost always gone by morning.
Yandere! Cop who doesn't want you as just a fuck buddy. He wants you as his girlfriend, maybe his wife someday.
Yandere! Cop who'll take what you give him. He'll fuck you screaming and when you leave the next morning, he'll bury his head in your pillow and try to catch the remnants of your scent.
It goes on for months. He's becoming a neglected dog, fed on the scraps of attention you give him. He's starving, he's ravenous, he's slowly going rabbid.
Yandere! Cop who does something he didn't think himself capable of - he starts following you. Just a little at first, just so he can learn more about you. He's curious and you don't talk about yourself so it makes perfect sense, right? It's harmless.
Yandere! Cop who breaks into your apartment when you're in class. Just to make sure everything is safe. And if he jacks off into your used panties, it's just a kind of payment. He's going above and beyond for you, doesn't he deserve a little reward?
Yandere! Cop who sees you kissing another man on the walk back from school. You've got your hands on his chest and you're standing on your tip toes under the magnolia trees, like the poster of a sappy fucking romcom.
Yandere! Cop who's never been more angry in his life. And so he sends you a bloody bullet in the mail, your name carved into the steel.
And it works. You call him, terrified that you pissed off the wrong person somehow.
Yandere! Cop who loves being there to comfort you, who feels so masculine and strong when you cling onto his arm and sob about your big, scary stalker.
Yandere! Cop who takes endless pictures of you going about your day and leaves them on your doorstep.
Yandere! Cop who slowly becomes your boyfriend. Who's there the second your stalker gets too close or frightens you too badly. Who makes you feel so safe in his arms.
Yandere! Cop who carefully suggests you move in with him. He's a cop afterall, and no one would be stupid enough to break into his apartment.
Yandere! Cop who'll do something vicious everytime he feels you straying away from him.
Yandere! Stalker who leaves your pet's head in a box on your porch when you refuse to cut off your male friends.
Yandere! Cop who coos over you when you sob, as though he isn't the one scaring you.
Yandere! Cop who is extra careful with everything he does, so that you never suspect that he and your stalker are one and the same.
He's a cop afterall, and he's just keeping you safe. Even if you don't always see it that way.
#robo cop but like stalker cop#Yandere#Yandere cop#Yandere stalker#yandere oc#yandere drabbles#yandere imagines#yandere oc x you#yandere x reader#yanderecore#yandere x darling#X reader

DC X DP - Mirrors
Did Danny want to live in Gotham? No, of course not. Did he have a choice? Nope. When does he ever?
Now, he may be technically homeless, but he's also technically dead, so human laws technically don't apply to him. So, naturally, he pics out an empty mansion so big even if the owners were to come home, the chances they'd run into each other would be really low, and settles in.
This 'mansion' happens to be Drake Manor. Look, Danny lived in nowhere Illinois and kinda had his hands full dealing with ghosts, a double life, bullies, and being actively hunted. He doesnât know much about celebrities. If you tell him the name of someone super famous, it might sound vaguely familiar, but that's about it. What he knew was superheroes and vigilantes (some of them, okay, give him a break). That's about it.
So the name Drake in connection with Gotham didn't ring any alarm bells. He did some surface level research: the Drakes are dead, survived by their only child, Timothy Drake-Wayne, who now owns their house but was adopted by some other super rich guy called Bruce Wayne and doesn't live in it, leaving it empty for the foreseeable future.
It was the perfect place!
Danny didn't explore much, partly because he didn't care to and partly because he was too tired to from healing. He cleaned up after himself, used only his bedroom (chosen for being tucked way back and out of the way), the attached bathroom, and the theatre occasionally as a treat. He lived off of the provisions packed for him, ectoplasm and water from the sink.
Cut to, few weeks in.
Danny's got a new routine, he's taken his stitches out, and is still super fucked up, but a lot better than when he arrived. He hasn't been outside since he arrived, but ghosts don't need Vitamin D anyway. Is he slightly depressed? Maybe. But he's also dead, so, bigger priorities.
Tim is looking through his stuff for something or other, and it occurs to him he probably left it next door. He hasn't been to Drake Manor in months, but he sort of really needs this thing, so he sucks it up and borrows a car because like hell is he walking the several miles from this front door to that one.
He goes to his old bedroom, opens the door, and comes face-to-face with himself.
And Danny doesn't know what he's supposed to do in this situation.
Listen, Danny doesn't always make the best decision in the moment. It's a very normal flaw to have! So he tells who can only be Timothy Drake-Wayne himself when asked, that his name is Timothy Drake, and this is his house, and, actually, who are you and how did you get in?
This causes Tim to assume Danny is himself from another dimension who he accidentally dragged to his dimension by messing with the Time Stream to get Bruce back. Danny continues to accidently fuel this misunderstanding without meaning to.
(This is not helped by the fact that a DNA test doesn't disprove this. Danny's DNA is corrupted, but what Tim does get is identical to himself. This is how Danny finds out he was adopted, and how Tim, much later when misunderstandings are cleared, meets the identical twin brother he never knew he had.)
#dc x dp#dc x dp prompt#tim and danny are twins#neither of them know it#tim thinks danny is himself from a parallel universe#or something along those lines#danny is an idiot#tim is an idiot#but like smart idiots#danny has no idea how the terrible bluff ended up working out but he's glad the cops haven't been called#danny is playing along#tim is a great detective#but clockwork is also a meddling dick#and danny has ridiculous luck#it's either really good or really bad#usually really bad#misunderstandings#danny phantom#danny fenton#dpxdc#tim failing at keeping danny secret from his brothers#bruce being emotionally constipated#probably#i mean that man is not mentally okay

dpxdc twins au except it's no-pulse flavored
Bartâs new roommate looks a lot like Tim.Â
Like, suspiciously like Tim.Â
Dannyâs the same height, has the same shape of nose, same shade of hair, and even frowns like him. He would have been a perfect copy if he acted more like Tim, but Danny definitely holds himself looser than Bartâs ever seen Tim.Â
But he still has his face. So, obviously, Bart has to investigate. Maybe heâs a clone, or a shapeshifter, or maybe one of the Gotham rogues decided to get facial reconstruction surgery to look like him, and this was all a ploy.Â
Okay, probably not that last one. Bart doesnât think Timâs enemies know his identity.Â
Anyway, investigation! Bartâll figure this out himself, and deal with it if Danny needs to be dealt with. And the investigation will start right after he comes up with an excuse as to why heâs back in their third floor apartment when he passed Danny in the hallway a few seconds before.Â
Danny stares at him, and Bart stares back.Â
âMustâve been a doppelganger!â Bart blurts out.Â
Dannyâs silent for a second before nodding enthusiastically and noting that everyone's supposed to have like seven in the world anyway and wow what a wild coincidence that thereâs one in their building.Â
Bart extends the same courtesy when a week later he walks in on Danny with an iced over pan on the stove. Danny says they should really get their freezer checked out and Bart agrees and asks if he can use the ice for a painting study.Â
(They never get their freezer checked.)
Bart finds that Dannyâs great at setting up fun things for him to draw, whether he knows it or not. Like the ice, or his collection of rocks, his astronomy textbooks with the pretty covers, his gestures as he rants about his classes, the excited glint in his eyes when heâs talking about his next repair project and how his eyes almost look like they glow in the right light.Â
Hm. A good portion of his sketchbook is drawings of Danny, and yet heâs still having trouble with getting the right blue for his eyes. At first glance theyâre Timâs shade of blue, but when he keeps looking they seem to get lighter. Maybe greener?
He should probably stop staring into his friendâs eyes.Â
Well, maybe not. Danny doesnât seem to mind.Â
Just like he doesnât mind when they started regularly sitting very close on the couch, or falling asleep together, or Bart borrowing some of his jackets, or-
Okay, Bartâs kinda seeing a pattern. He and Danny should really have a conversation about if this is platonic behavior or not.Â
But not right now, because Bart brought Danny across the river to raid Wallyâs board game closet in Keystone.Â
And Wally, whoâs used to this, just passes by them with a, âHey Bart, hey Tim.â
âDanny, not Tim,â Danny replies almost absent mindedly, then looks back at Wally, whoâs also staring at him now. âWait, you know Tim?â
âOhmyGod I was supposed to investigate!â Bart says, face palming. It just slipped his mind! And Danny was distracting him with his pretty face that he totally wears better than Tim!
âYou know him too?â Danny asks. But he doesnât look suspicious of them, more amused.Â
âHow do you know him?â Wally squints at Danny, eyes briefly catching Bartâs in question.Â
âHeâs my twin,â Danny answers easily. âThe Drakes only wanted one kid, so they gave me to their friends the Fentons, who wanted a second one.â He shrugs and goes back to digging around the closet. âTim and I were always in contact, though. Letters and phone calls and texting, you know?âÂ
He says it all so casually while Wally and Bart are sharing increasingly concerned looks behind his back.Â
Do the Waynes know about Danny? Has Tim never brought him up? Why? Does Danny know about Red Robin? Does Tim-
âHoly shit does this mean Tim has ice powers too!?âÂ
Or: Tim and Danny are twins. Through a series of coincidences, the first people to find out that arenât Fentons or Drakes are the flashes.
(This post was brought to you by me recently finishing the 1995 Impulse run, and wanting an excuse to share this panel:
Look they both got called twinks clearly they're soulmates)
#dp x dc#dpxdc#dp x dc prompt#dp x dc crossover#also this is my first time actually posting on here so plz be patient w/ me#No-Pulse#No-Pulse ship#i just think they're neat#also i think Bart should be an art student#I know fastest man alive tried to make him a cop but i just do not buy it#he could also have the funny career path of quitting art school to become a dentist like Helen

dextrocardia | 16
Dextrocardia. Originally a medical term, but also a way to describe someone who's got their heart in the right place.
"She's been moved to another operation to help out. This pairing is necessary because you'll be undercover as spouses. I know you two can be professional about this."
"What?!" It's Jeongguk's upset voice that sounds, and for once, you share his displeased opinion.
Spouses.
pairing:Â cop!jk x f detective!reader
genre:Â undercover cops, fake marriage, e2l au, angst, fluff, (smut?)
word count:Â 6.5k
warnings: none besides.... fictional police work...
rating:Â NC-17 â Adults Only
masterlist
part 16/?Â
<previous | next>
© dextrocardia is copyright jeonstudios. this fic can not be modified, re-posted, or translated without my permission.
Despite everything, you fill with a sense of excitement as you drive off, Sana in the passenger seat beside you. Itâs nice to feel like you have a purpose again, and even if you technically had one during the last mission with Jeongguk, it was overshadowed by the danger you believed resided under the same roof.Â
Itâs a comfortable journey, and soon enough the highway turns into a pristine neighborhood, bearing no trace of the traumatic events that occurred there months ago. Most of it looks the same as you remember it but other parts donât. Thereâs an unfamiliar car parked outside âyourâ house, and not only that, but glancing through the large windows as you cruise by, you spot movement inside. Children? You knew people would eventually move into the houseâa house that never even belonged to you to begin withâbut it feels weird.
Putting your more than illogical feelings aside, you focus on parking your car outside the Jungsâ house instead. Before stepping out, you and Sana give each other one last once-over. Despite the relatively low risk of this initial part of the mission, youâve still made an effort to appear inconspicuous, and itâs not only for your own sake. Considering what theyâve done for youâHoseok especiallyâyou donât want to be a bother if theyâd rather not have law enforcement be seen knocking on their door.
Itâs Eunha who opens the door, eyes going wide when they land on your face. For a second, your worry grows; what if your presence isnât actually appreciated? At all? But then her lips pull into a smile.
âOh, hello?â
âHi, we were wondering if we could ask you a few questions? About another case, not⊠yours,â you find your greeting turning into rambling.
âOh, uh, yeah, of course. Come on in. Iâm a little busy baking at the moment, but Hobi is home, and Iâm guessing heâs the one you really want to speak with?â
She wipes her hands on her light blue jeans, leaving a white, powdery residue on the fabric before opening the door wider.Â
âThank you,â you smile as you step inside, looking around to see that, as far as you can tell, everything looks the same as when you last paid the Jungsâ a visit. When you think about it, Hoseok never brought up the bugs you placed in their house, so youâre guessing they never found them. Or if they did, they havenât brought it up for some reason or another. Youâre not sure, but what you do know is that youâre not gonna be the one to do it, just in case.
âMake yourselves at home. I need to check on the cookies. Hobi!â she turns to call out into the house, âWe have guests!â
With an apologetic smile, Eunha excuses herself, and then you and Sana are left alone in the entryway. You share some kind of look. Sure, you didnât expect too much hostility, but to leave you, two detectives, unsupervised in their home?Â
A second later, the sound of footsteps approaches, and you smile toward the brown-haired man as he comes into view, his confused features turning happy. He takes in the sight of you before he closes the distance to give you a warm hug.
âHow are you? You look good!â he compliments, also turning to shake Sanaâs hand, a very sweet smile on his lips. âHoseok.â
âSana,â she greets.
âIâm doing well,â you answer, âHe is too; made a full recovery.â
Hoseokâs smile falls, and he takes on a rather baffled look instead. âWe saw on the news. About the station and the investigation and all that. Crazy. I mean, we knew there were corrupt cops, but to that extent?â
âYeah.â
âSo what brings you here?â he asks, a glint slowly returning to his eyes. âWas it maybe something I said one time at a hospital?â
You nod, âYeah. Can you tell us what you know? Or give us any tips at all so that we can stop Kyung Sunghyun once and for all?â
You watch him contemplate. Since he first let that comment about Ksung slip at the hospital, youâve felt that heâs a good enough man to at least not mind Sunghyun being investigated and possibly put behind bars. But what can he say without incriminating himself for essentially planning a robbery? And can he trust you if he accidentally lets something slip? You might seem like youâve stopped pursuing him, but can he trust you not to, ever?
âWhy donât we take a seat in the living room?â He gestures for you to follow him, and after quickly taking off your shoes and jackets, you do, with Sana in tow.
Sitting on the Jungsâ couch, you wait for Hoseok to get comfortable and for Sana to pull her pen and notebook out of her bag.Â
âHey, love?â Hoseok calls out to his wife, turning to the two of you, âYou want something to drink?â
âOh, water would be fine,â Sana accepts, and you nod, âYeah.â
âHm?â Eunha appears in the doorway. She seems to have more flour on her pants than last time.
âCould you bring us some water?â
âOf course. Anything else?â
Hoseok thinks about it for a second before he lights up, âOh, do we have some of those brownies left?â
âUh, yeah, Iâll bring a few pieces.â
âThanks.â
As soon as Eunha leaves, Hoseok turns to you again, a look of concentration coloring his features. âSo, what do you want to know?â
âWell, everything,â you say.
âOkay. Iâll warn you that I might not know as much as you think, and some thingsânot that I know themâI canât say. I guess I can start by saying that, hypothetically, if I were a criminal of any kind, I would probably still stay as far away from other criminals as possible; especially if I had⊠valuables that might make me a target. No honor amongst thieves and all that, you know?â
Although his words deny any criminal activity, his expression reveals that heâs well aware that everyone in the room knows that heâs far from innocent. At least as far as the law is concerned. You watch him intently, waiting for whatever information he has and praying that itâll help.
Sana drives you both home an hour or so later, you sitting quietly in the passenger seat and staring out the window as the world passes by.
âWe need to tell Jihyo as soon as possible,â Sana says, âI can drive you home after if you want me to? Unless youâd rather stay with me?â
âNo, itâs⊠fine. Iâm fine.â
You are fine. Although it couldâve sent you into some sort of panic attack, it didnât. Itâs just a reminder of why you donât trust men, and you feel yourself withdrawing instead.
Hoseok didnât have too much info on the Ksung trafficking case. As you expected, they spent a pretty significant amount of time trailing Sunghyun and his closest men in order to map their routines. Not that Hoseok admitted it; it was very âhypotheticalâ. But from what you gathered, it was difficult to get close to the top men and almost harder to follow anyone. Then, when everything happened and Hoseok and Yoongi understood that youâd been watching them, they put the plans mostly on hold. Except for one thing.
âHe, of course, doesnât actually get his hands dirty if he can help it, and we werenâtâyouâd have to be a whole team to keep track of everyone and what theyâre doing. But âŠthere might be a private plane flying mostly under the radar about once a month. Someone mightâve found⊠âreceiptsâ for fuel from different places, and when pieced together, they form a vague route.â
âI guess the question is, why the need to fly incognito? Is it possible it flies⊠cash or other valuables from the bank that theyâd rather not have everyone know of?â Sana asks, and you nod in agreement. Itâs a very valid concern; you wouldnât want just anyone to know if youâre transporting valuable cargo, even legally.
âThe plane is refueled more often and with less fuel than a cargo plane, according to the receipts. It seems to be a very small plane, with a correspondingly small fuel tank. And these days, flight tracking is the default; itâs definitely an extra step to opt-out. Sometimes even difficult to achieve.â
âSo weâll be looking into this plane, alright. Where are the receipts from? Is there a pattern? Somewhere we can go to see if we catch them as theyâre refueling?â
âThe first stop is around three hours from their headquarters, so youâd assume the plane is stationed around there somewhere, but it might have proved hard to actually find it. Iâll give you the coordinates for that and the other locations.â
âThank you.â
Itâs with genuine gratitude that you thank Hoseok. Itâs truly ironic that one of the sweetest men in your story is a bank robber, while the police have taken on the role of your enemy.
âSo how is your case coming along? You havenât found them yet, I assume?â
You press your lips together briefly before sighing. You know you shouldnât disclose anything, really, but again, with how much has been on the news, the public wouldâve known if the wanted police officers had been apprehended. And they havenât. Youâve been told not even the Jimin-lead actually led to anything.
So you shake your head. "Still looking.â
To your surprise, Hoseok looks to be thinking hard about something.
âOkay, so⊠this might not lead anywhere, but if youâre stuck and possibly trailing Ksungâs people anyway⊠rumor has it that Ksung has been paying off the cops for a while. Not sure what station, but maybe, someoneâat least up until around two months agoâused to meet up with someone at seven a.m. on the fifteenth of every month. Like I said, itâs supposedly around two hours away from here, essentially smack dab in the middle between the closest stations, but given your previous colleaguesâ... reluctance to follow the law, it might be worth checking out.â
âBut theyâve been on the run for months now,â Sana questions, âIf Ksung has been paying for police protection or their deliberate ignorance, then what would be the point now? They donât have anything left to offer.â
âTheir silence, maybe?â Hoseok tries to offer an explanation. âThey could be blackmailing Ksung into giving them the money they need while on the run. Pay up, or theyâll tip someone off?â
âIf what we think about Ksung is true, wouldnât he just⊠get rid of them if that were the case? Canât be that much of a leap between trafficking and murder? Especially if theyâre a threat to everything Sunghyun built?â
You adjust your position on the couch, sitting quite literally on the edge of your seat and looking at Sana. âYeah, I honestly think so too. It wouldnât make sense to let some of the most wanted people blackmail you like that. Thereâs a big risk that theyâre caught and then they might blab and drag you down too. Better to get rid of them.â
âMaybe,â Hoseok adds, âBut there were a lot of officers caught in the investigation, werenât there?â
âYeah. All fired,â Sana confirms.
âAgain, I canât promise itâll help because itâs somewhat of a long shot, but what if you didnât catch them all? What ifâŠâ
â--Someoneâs still working at the station,â you continue where Hoseok trailed off. âAnd taking bribes?â
âAnd you think that person is helping Hoseong?â Sana wonders, her eyes wide.
âDonât know, but what are the odds of two separate groups of officers being corrupt?â
You really donât want to answer that.
Jihyo is surprised at your findings, but when you turn it around to look at it from another angle, it makes an awful lot more sense. Instead of questioning the odds of your two cases being connected, itâs not so strange to think that a criminal bank CEO might be bribing the townâs corrupt police. Itâs just strange for you to have found yourself in the middle of it.
âSo what do we do?â Sana whispers, glancing at Jihyoâs closed office door behind her.
âWait. Whatâs todayâs date?â Jihyo asks, her eyes going wide as she realizes what youâve already had time to see.
âJanuary fourteenth,â Sana explains.
Jihyo looks at you and Sana and the look you give each other. âNo. We should wait for backup; the outsourced detectives will be here in a week.â
âWeâll miss the window,â you argue quietly.
Jihyo raises her eyebrows. âWhat if itâs not true? What if itâs a trap to get rid of you?â
âSet up by Hoseok? I donât think so. He couldâve gotten rid of us today if he wanted to, and I donât think he would; he saved us, after all.â
âWell, you more or less surprised him today, and people knew where you were, so it wouldâve been stupid on his part. Getting rid of you while youâre âlooking for someone elseâ would be a better plan. And like youâve said before, when he saved your life, he didnât know that you were investigating him yet. Now that he does, he mightâve just been waiting for an opportunity. What are the odds of you finding all of this out on the fourteenth when the supposed meeting is taking place tomorrow?â
Well, when sheâs putting it like that you have to agree that thereâs a risk. Not a big one, you donât think, but a risk nonetheless.
âI want to go,â you say before lowering the volume of your voice further, âIf there is someone here still⊠if thereâs a mole, we need to⊠we need to act as soon as possible. The longer we wait, even if we try to be discreet, the higher the risk of him finding out.â
Jihyo sighs, lifting her hand to rub her forehead until she seemingly decides.
âFine. Do you want to go tomorrow? Together? Maybe you should bring someone else as well?â
âWho? We donât know who the mole or informant is, and if you suggest bringing JeonggukâŠâ you trail off. Jeongguk is great, but this is not his area of expertise.
âHeâll want to go, regardless.â
âHeâs not a detective.â
âHeâs out on a call right now?â Sana asks.
Jihyo nods. âYeah, I think so. Out patrolling, at least.â
âDonât tell him,â Sana suggests.
âYou donât think itâs him, right?â Jihyo asks in disbelief.
Sana continues, âNo, but⊠the more people who know, the bigger the risk. I think heâll do more good here, keeping up the charades.â
A few hours later, youâre already in the car, heading toward the spot Hoseok pointed out on a map. The meeting isnât supposed to take place until tomorrow morning, which gives you a valuable opportunity to scope the place out beforehand.
The sun has set by the time you reach a hill, the road ending in an empty cul-de-sac with a low stone wall overlooking the arches of a large, gray viaduct. Thereâs a road running parallel to you, only on the other side of the wall, below the hill. It doesnât pass under the viaduct, which stands almost perpendicular to you, but instead turns to run alongside it. You lean your gloved hands against the stone wall, following the road and its sidewalk below with your eyes.Â
The meeting point is supposedly a few meters from the sidewalk, up underneath the viaductâs closest arches. From this spot, you canât see beyond the arch, except for a few bushes and trees. It looks like it might be downhill.
Hidden by the elevation, the stone wall, and some trees, the current spot will be where you park the car tomorrow, and before checking in at a nearby hotel for the night, you decide to also check out the other side of the viaduct.
âSo, how does it feel to be back for real?â Sana asks, stepping out of the bathroom and putting her toothbrush in her mouth.
Sitting on the bed, you flip through the TV channels. âUh, good. I really missed this⊠feeling of having a purpose?â
She pauses the brushing, toothbrush still in her mouth as she speaks. âMhm, I get what youâre saying. And⊠how does it feel, knowing that there might be someone we⊠missed?â
You take a moment to think about it. âI donât know. Iâm so used to walking around the hallways, paranoid of who might be waiting around the corner. Waiting for me to be alone somewhere. After a while, you just donât have the energy to be that scared anymore.â
Sana nods in understanding, brushing her teeth thoroughly for another few seconds before she enters the bathroom again to spit the foam into the sink.
âDid you know that I basically didnât fight them at all when they came for us during the undercover assignment?â you ask, fiddling with the remote on the white bedspread.
âJeongguk mentioned something about feeling like youâd given up, but not a lot more. He wanted us to stay close and check up on you; said he thought the last year had taken a bigger toll on you than weâd assumed.â
âYeah. Iâve been so scared for such a long time; felt for so long that I stand no chance whenever they actually decide to try it. I didnât think there was any use in fighting them when they came, so I just⊠stood there. I closed my eyes.â
âBut Jeongguk saved you.â
âHe did, yeah. Let himself be stabbed by a fucking samurai sword.â
Sanaâs quiet as she exits the bathroom again, a white robe in her arms.Â
You let out a deep breath. âWhat would you do? If you were me?â
Immediately understanding, she sits down on the other bed. âI donât know. I want to say that Iâd give him a chance, but I think it might be easier said than done.â
You look down at your hands. âYeah.â
âI do believe heâs a good guy, and I think heâs learned his lesson, but a relationship canât depend on whether heâs good or not, if he deserves you, or whether you should forgive him, can it?â
âIt shouldnât?â you raise your eyebrow at her, smiling a little.
âNo, I mean, you shouldnât be with him if the answer to those questions is âno,â but the next question is just⊠Do you want to be with him?â
âI donât know.â
âThen⊠does being with him make you happy?â
You feel your whole body practically answer her question. Your eyes drop sadly to the bedspread again, and your shoulders lift a little anxiously. âI think he makes me feel inadequate.â
She looks at you sadly. âYou know that youâre not, though, right? You get to feel that way, and he has no say over your feelings because heâs the one who caused them, but youâre more than enough. Weâll support you no matter what you decide to do.â
Nodding slowly, you take another deep breath, getting up from the bed to brush your own teeth.
Usually, you find it hard to wake up fully when the sun has yet to rise and itâs freezing cold. Even the hotelâs hard but warm bed would be tempting you to stay in. But not today. The moment the alarm blares, youâre already reaching for your phone to quiet it, sitting up and looking around. On the other bed, not far from yours, Sana is rubbing her eyes and yawning. Todayâs the day you might actually find a good lead.
Due to the nature of todayâs assignment, youâre armed, just in case, and youâre clipping small body cameras to your thick, black jackets. On your head, youâve got black beanies, and your hands are gloved as well to withstand the cold.
The sun still hasnât made it far on its journey across the sky when you park the car in the same spot as you did yesterday.Â
âIâm in my position,â Sana informs through the earpiece. You dropped her off closer to the other side of the viaduct, where sheâs currently hiding a little farther down a walkway and behind some parked cars.Â
âGood. Me too,â you confirm, leaning your elbows against the wall. Thanks to the trees and the relative distance, youâre well hidden as you kneel behind the stone wall, focusing on the meeting point through your black binoculars.
âItâs five fifty a.m., and weâre both in position,â you repeat, more so for the recordings.
âAnd so we wait,â Sana concludes.
Despite the thick jackets, it doesnât take long before youâre freezing. If you could, youâd sit in the car, at least to be protected from the biting wind, but the angle from there wouldnât let you see over the wall. Sana complains quietly about her fingers while your cheeks hurt the most. Every glance at your watch is painful.
Six fifty arrives, and you focus further. But thereâs no one. Once every few minutes, a car or two passes on the road below you, but thatâs it. Seven oâclock. Still no one. Youâre starting to fear that maybe you missed them? Did they change location? Or maybe they decided on another time? What if they really just stopped meeting up, altogether? Hoseok didnât seem too sure, after all. You bite your lip, trying to keep your cold body still. If there is an informant, you need to catch him.
Then, at seven twenty, you hear something. Itâs the rustling of thick fabric as Sana adjusts her position.
âDark-clothed male, moving in. 4 oâclock.â
As slowly and inconspicuously as you can, to not draw attention, you turn your head. Sure enough, a man is walking on the sidewalk below and to your right.Â
Just like you, heâs dressed in all black, a bulky jacket covering most of his body except his legs. Heâs got the hood pulled over his head and his hands in his pockets.
âCan you get a visual of his face?â you ask, watching wide-eyed as he passes below you.
âNo, heâs got somethingâa shirt or somethingâpulled up over his mouth and nose.â
âOkay, looks like heâs headed for the viaduct,â you say, waiting to see if he follows the sidewalk as it turns to run parallel to the viaduct, or if he steps in under the arch. âWeâll wait and see if anyone else shows.â
But the man doesnât stop to wait for someone. He steps off the sidewalk, casually walking over to the closest of the huge pillars, graffitied in blue and green, and swiftly retrieves something from under a small bush. A bag?
âItâs a dead drop,â Sana exclaims as the man continues on his path, heading in her direction. It only took a few seconds, and anyone less observant wouldâve missed the pickup.Â
âDo you recognize him?â you ask, on the edge of your seat. âCan you follow?â
Youâre too far away to follow him on foot, and driving down would be impractical and likely draw his attention, so you stay put.
Instead, Sana moves, the rustling loud in your ears, and you hold your breath. Itâs always more nerve-wracking to watch someone else pursue and track a target than doing it yourself. If this man discovers her, you donât know what will happen, much less what heâll do if he recognizes her.
The man disappears from view, and for a while, all you hear is Sanaâs breathing and that same occasional rustling of her jacket as she moves. Then, thereâs a bout of silence before her quiet, shocked voice comes through.Â
âI canât follow him further; heâs getting into a black car. I⊠I think itâs JJ.â
As quickly as possible, you drive back to the station, wondering if you ever missed a clue about JJ. Considering how many men work at the station and how youâve had to keep a very close eye on some of them, JJ has flown under your radar a bit. The tall man wasnât anyone youâve paid much attention to or interacted with, but he never came across as weird or suspicious; just as a regular man. He never outright harassed you, but he never stood up for you either, but then again, he wasnât the only one using that approach. Additionally, youâve seen him with Jeongguk a bunch of times, and you figured Jeongguk had cleared all the remaining men. Not that itâs Jeonggukâs fault, but still; you donât think heâs easy to fool.
âHow sure are you?â Jihyo asks in a hushed voice, her worried eyes flitting between you, Sana, and the closed office door. You know JJ is already at the station, you walked past him in the hallway, dressed in uniform. You werenât able to follow the man, but considering you had to wait a bit and then drive down to collect Sana, itâs entirely plausible he made it back before you.
âLike eighty percent. It was hard to see, but⊠Iâm pretty sure. Donât know if I captured anything of value, but we can go through the recordings to be sure?â
âMaybe we can look through the work schedule as well?â you suggest. âIf he hasnât been clocked in at seven to eight a.m. on the fifteenth of the last few monthsâprobably since they went on the runâthenââÂ
ââWe still canât rule him out,â Jihyo interrupts sadly. âEven if heâs been clocked in, heâmaybe together with his partnerâcouldâve simply driven there while on duty, assuming they werenât on an active call. Maybe not super likely, but not impossible. So if heâs been clocked in, weâd need to look at those exact hours and place him on specific calls.â
âWhich might take a while,â Sana adds, and you nod, realizing that sheâs right.
Your heart races. âSo what do we do?â
âHis carâs in the garage, right?â
Jihyo gives Sana a warning look. âWeâll need a warrant to search it, and this is not enough for one.âÂ
âBut not to take a look through the window,â you say, biting your lip and meeting Sanaâs eyes.
You wait for Jihyoâs objection, but it doesnât come. âBe careful,â she whispers instead, following you toward the door. âIf thereâs one, there might be more.â
âYes, boss.â
Being the first one to step out of Jihyoâs office, you glance the other way, just in case JJ happens to be watching. However, you donât look where youâre going, and of course, you run headfirst into someoneâs chest.
âHey,â a deep voice says, its owner steadying you by your arms. Of course.Â
Embarrassed, you look up, only to meet Jeonggukâs dark eyes. Heâs dressed head to toe in uniform, the sleeves rolled up to expose his veiny forearms, tattoos and all, and itâs clear that heâs on his way out to patrol. You didnât know he was really patrolling again, but then again, it doesnât seem like they were getting anywhere on your case, and well⊠you donât talk much these days. Like always when heâs near, your heart rate picks up, and your skin heats under his hands despite the fabric between you.
âUh, sorry,â you apologize, looking away. You know youâre normally a pretty good actress, but today, you just feel too wound up and on edge. Jeongguk holds onto your arms, his observant eyes gazing over you.
âIs everything okay?â
âUh, yeah. Everythingâs fine,â you say with a nod, glancing at Sana. âBut we need to go.â
But Jeongguk doesnât give up. âThereâs somethingâs going on, isnât there?â
âNo,â you lie again.
âYouâre making me worried.â
âYou donât need to be.â
His gaze flickers between you and Sana, and even though you donât think heâs completely buying it, he lets go. âPromise me youâll tell me if you find out anything.â
âYeah, okay,â you say, already moving away. Technically, you being âoffâ can simply be explained by the fact that youâre not entirely comfortable around him.
After getting rid of Jeongguk, you and Sana enter the stationâs parking garage. The personnel floor is empty, save for about twenty to thirty vehicles, Jeonggukâs motorcycle included. Still, you make sure to look around before you start.
âWhat did the car look like?â you ask, peering through the back window of the closest one, a small dark blue car.
âUnfortunately, I couldnât make out much besides the color and size. It was black and a pretty small one, I think.â
You look around. Almost all cars are black. Or at least dark enough to be mistaken for black. "Do we even know what his actual car looks like?"
âWell... Letâs just check all of them. Just to be safe.â
Even though you make sure to check carefully, the process goes quickly. Until Sana calls your name quietly, the black car in front of her being her sixth or seventh.
âThat could be it, right?â she points toward something barely visible, halfway under the passenger seat. But yeah, it looks like black fabric, maybe part of a small bag, but you canât be entirely sure.
âYeah, maybe.â
âIf we could only look inside,â Sana mutters.
âYeah,â you sigh, your shoulder dropping in disappointment. âBut all he did was maybe pick up a bag of unknown contents outside. Itâs not enough. Should we just check the rest of them and then head back?â
Sana nods, âIâll finish this row.â
Jihyo is still in her office when you return, having found nothing but the maybe-bag. Sheâs pacing on the phone to someone, motioning for you to enter when you cautiously peek your head through the door.
âOkay⊠Just get back to me as soon as you can, alright?â she says, sitting down behind her desk. âYeah, okay, bye.â
âWe saw what we think could be the bag, halfway hidden under the seat of a car that looks about the one the man got into,â Sana explains quietly after youâve closed the door behind you.
âOkay, so nothingâs ruled out and nothingâs confirmed,â Jihyo concludes.
You nod, trying to think of the next steps. âWell, what if we review the camera footage? We were probably too far away, but you never know, right? And Jihyo, you could check the schedules and work hours, start cross-checking them with the calls responded to. Iâll see if I can dig up anything else about him.â
For a few hours, you work in Jihyoâs office, all three of you focused. Jihyo sits behind her desk, trying to see if she can match JJ to specific calls on any recent fifteenths and thus provide him with an alibi.Â
Sana sits in a chair on the other side of the desk, her laptop open in front of her as she goes through every frame of your recordings, and you sit on the floor, back against the wall, scrolling through both your phone and laptop.Â
âFinding anything?â Sana wonders, sighing in frustrationâa sign that the recordings arenât giving her anything useful.
âMaybeâŠâ Jihyo replies, eyes locked on her screen. âCan you read line thirty-seven for me?â She hands Sana a sheet of paper listing the calls.
âSure. Uh⊠Call about vandalism came at six twenty-seven a.m., reported closed at eight thirty-two. October fifteenth, last year.â
âSix twenty-seven to eight thirty-two,â Jihyo repeats as you scroll through JJâs instagram, clicking on yet another tagged friend.
âMhm,â Sana hums.
âWell, he was clocked in⊠But it seems like⊠yeah, Min and Mark were the ones who responded to it.â
The room feels⊠tense in a way, something Jihyo is about to put into words. Meanwhile, you focus on your phone, fingers tapping away quickly and your heartbeat rising.
âDoesnât seem like we can rule him out. Which, you know, sucks because we all trust himâmaybe trusted himâand we donât want yet another one to have betrayed us. But if it is him, then maybe⊠we might finally be getting somewhere? Maybe?â
âYeah, I agree. Donât like the direction weâre moving in, but at least weâre moving.â
âHey, guys,â you say, your eyes still glued to the screen in your hands. âJJ has a stepsister named Jimin.â
âWhat?â Sana exclaims, her voice hushed and eyes wide as she turns to you.
âYeah. JJâs mom seems to be dating this Jiminâs dad, but it doesnât look like theyâre married; not even like they live together.â
âSo there are no ties on paper?â
âNo, no ties.â
All three of you exchange silent looks, realizing what this could mean. You might have an address.
After discussing your findingsâall hushed voices and big eyes as you conclude that, yeah, maybe Jimin visited her brother at the station and stumbled across Hoseongâyou decide to take a break. You need to pee and Sana complained only a minute ago of her rumbling stomach. To be fair, you havenât had time to take any real breaks, much less eat.
Determined, you leave the office, discreetly looking around before heading toward the bathroom. Sana leaves for the cafeteria.
After using the bathroom, you sit on the closed toilet lid to gather your thoughts. It almost feels like you need to catch your breath, too. Do you dare hope that you might finally get them? Still, you find yourself imagining what youâd do if that were the case. Itâs not like theyâve haunted you for decades, but even a few months stretching into years feels like such a long time. A lifetime, almost. You experienced life at the station before everything went down, but is it even possible to return to that? Maybe it isnât; youâre not the same person anymore.
Still thinking deeply about what this revelation might mean, you head back toward Jihyoâs office. Occasionallyâlike nowâthe white halls are empty, but as you approach the wooden door with the frosted window, you hear voices inside. Theyâre not abnormally loud per se, but louder than they should be.
You open the door, and for a moment, the voices fall silent. Already back, Sana stands with a Saran-wrapped bread bun and coffee in her hands. Jihyo sits behind her desk as usual, her laptop open and the call papers scattered across her normally tidy desk. And Jeongguk is standing in front of it, still in his uniform, wild eyes looking back at you.
âWhy didnât you tell me?â
âIt wouldnât have changed anything for the better,â you say, stepping in fully and closing the door behind you. âYouâre with the guys more than we are. We donât want them to find out.â
âThereâs a risk anyway,â he says, turning to Jihyo, âWe need to go there as soon as possible.â
Jihyo meets his gaze, her expression understanding but firm. âJeongguk, like I said, we need to wait for backup. Weâre understaffed, and thereâs too much of a risk that theyâll recognize you. Besides, all of you inside this room are too emotionally involved at this point.â
His hands fly out, and though he tries to keep his voice down, frustration seeps through. âThey were allowed to watch JJ accept a bribe in the first place?â he argues.
âYes, and that was risky enough. If they recognize you, theyâll probably try to kill you. Theyâve got nothing to lose, and youâre the reason theyâre in this mess to begin with. Just hang in there until backup arrives.â
He shakes his head in frustration and disbelief. âThis is crazy. Theyâve tried to kill her so many times, and someone connected to them is still here. For all we know, he could be planning something on their behalf as we speak!â
âI donât know what to tell you. I understand youâre frustrated; we all are, but this is the best course of action.â
He gestures toward you, âShe needs to leave in that case. She canât stay here.â
To be honest, youâre not that scared of JJ. Heâs never seemed particularly interested in you, and you donât think heâs planning to kill you or anything like that. Months have passed without you even suspecting he might be involved, and nothing has happened. Sure, you were mostly with Jeongguk until recently and not that often at the station, so while the opportunities might not have been plentiful, JJ has had his chances.
Jihyo sighs, leaning back in her chair. âItâs up to her.â
He turns to face you fully. âCome stay with me? Take a week off, stay at my place.â
You shake your head. âNo, Iâm staying at my place, and Iâll continue to work if I feel like it.â
âPlease?â
Youâll never stop being surprised at how easily Jeongguk lets go of his pride. But by doing it so quickly, with so few reservations, itâs almost as if he grows in your eyes. You try not to think about him in that way.
You shake your head. âI donât want you to think that you need to save me all the time. Iâll be fine on my own.â
He glances around at the three women in the room, none giving him the support he wants. He looks like he wants to say something, but suddenly, someone calls for him on his com radio.
âGo,â Jihyo instructs as Jeongguk gives you one last longing look before quickly exiting through the door.
Jeongguk canât shake the new information, and as the day progresses, it keeps gnawing at him, his mind turning over every possible option again and again. While that last callâregarding a break-inâkept him distracted for a bit, his thoughts return as he enters the station again, Min heading off to the cafeteria.
He knows youâve already gone home by the time heâs clocking out and heading for the locker room, still unsure of what to do. It terrifies him to know that thereâs still someone who might want to hurt you, walking these halls. That he missed someone.Â
Heâs got three options to choose from. The first: go home. Get some sleep. Or at least try to get some sleep. And then just hope that JJ didnât spot you this morning and is waiting to attack you outside your apartment door. Jeongguk knows that itâs what you want him to do; go home and not get involved. But heâll never forgive himself if something happens to you.
Option two is to drive to your apartment and sit in his car outside it all night. Heâll do it if needed, but itâs not very tempting, and itâll render him useless at work tomorrow. Additionally, if nothing happens tonightâwhich, yeah, it might notâthen heâll need to guard you the night after as well. Sooner or later, heâll need to sleep.
Biting his lip, he enters the locker room, taking a lap to make sure heâs alone before pulling out his phone. Google gives him the number to the nearest car rental, and he wastes no time, pressing âdial.â
Heâs picking option three, and he needs a car that isnât his.

A COINCIDENCE | -> touya todoroki
touya is fuckin' nervous. insanely fuckin' nervous. he's finally meeting your parents for the first time since he started to date youâ the love and light of his life.
he knows his burn scars are a little... unsightly, even if you tell them they're not. he knows you're not lying, but you're probably the only one who thinks that way.
he doesn't make a lot of money, and you deserve way more than what he gives you. he knows you get upset when he tells you that because you tell him with a frown, "touya, you give me everything you have and can give me."
he's an ex-con, and no parent wants their daughter dating an ex-con and oh lord why is he still going?
he really wants to leave a good impression on your parents; he's very serious about you with plans of proposing and marrying you in the future.
you tell him your parents won't mind his scars, and that he is a hard-worker, and he's turned over a new leaf. you tell him they'll welcome him with open arms and they'll love him like you love him.
he feels like he's sweating even though he can't, and his scars feel itchy, and his stomach hurts, and his legs feel like jello, and the door is getting closer, or he's getting closer to door, and maybe, he should just explode.
you ring the doorbell to your parents house and squeeze his hand with a smile to try to comfort him.
honestly, it doesn't make him feel better. it makes him feel worse because you look like an angel and he can't believe he's dating someone 100 leagues above him, and your parents are gonna hate him.
but, he appreciates you trying to make him feel better.
he hears a "coming" from who he assumes is your mother. a few moments later the door opens and he comes face to face withâ
oh.
oh, this cannot be fuckin' happening right now.
karma is a fuckin' bitch and has decided to be the bitchiest bitch at the worst time ever.
"officer," he starts with a gulp and a nervous laugh, followed with your last name.
"how've you been?"

Dash Baxter as the Overly Competent Metropolis Cop
We all know the "Dash becomes a Police Officer" trope, but I can never remember what Coty he is placed in.
Now, Imagine if Dash is placed in Metropolis? He starts out on the force and keeps telling everybody that this City is "Nowhere near as exciting as I thoight it would be" and "There aren't even any Supervillains that I can arrest"
And everybody else is just thinking that he is just overconfident in his own skills than that he is just a glory seeker.
And then one day, Lex Luthor breaks out of Prison and gets one of his Giant Mechs. Superman arrived on scene to try and stop him only to discover Dash handcuffing a peefectly fine Lex on the hood of his Car while Lex's Mech Suit is laying 10 meters away totally unscathed.
This random cop somehow managed to defeat Lex Luthor's Mech Suit (Which was designed to battle SUPERMAN) without needing to hurt Lex OR damage the suit in any way.
Well, at the very least that must have been a difficult feat to pull of-
"That was easily the worst Power Armor I have ever had to fight dude, are you sure you're a Super Genius?"
What?!
#Dp x dc#Dpxdc#Danny phantom#Dc#Dcu#Dash Baxter#Dash#Superman#Metropolis#Dash is a Cop#Overly Competent Cop#Everybody from Amity Park is Overly Conpetent#Superman is worried#Dash is still bored#Maybe he should transfer to that Gotham place?#It seems more interesting anyways

Yandere!Cop - NonCon
Yandere! State Trooper who's not much older than you but so so drunk on power.
Yandere! State Trooper who pulls you over for the first time and spends the whole stop looking down your shirt. Thank God for his shades so you don't notice where his eyes have wandered.
Yandere! State Trooper who makes sure to remember your car and your plates. You're such a little thing really, and he just wants to keep an eye on you.
Yandere! State Trooper who grabs any excuse to pull you over, just so he can lean on your roof and savour the power he has over you. The way you fiddle with your skirt and look up at him all pleading, practically begging him not to write you up. Who gets so hard after talking to you that he needs to sit and cool off before he can get back to his job.
Yandere! State Trooper who's been noting down even the smallest infractions and writing you tickets. Tickets he conveniently forgets to tell you about. Tickets that pile up and run overdue.
Yandere! State Trooper who knows every route you drive and sits waiting for you. Who can't believe his luck when you have the midnight shift and decide to drive home on such a lonely stretch of road.
Yandere! State Trooper who doesn't hesitate to pull you over, his cock getting hard before he even gets out of the cruiser.
Yandere! State Trooper who pulls up your stack of tickets and shows you a court summons you have no idea you were served. Who says you're sure to lose your license, maybe even earn yourself a criminal record. Would your boss keep a felon on her payroll?
Yandere! State Trooper who opens your car door when you start to cry and kneels down to comfort you. Who rests his gloved hand on your thigh and draws slow circles with his thumb. Who says he can take care of you. You're clearly not as organised as you thought, if you let your tickets get this out of hand.
Yandere! State Trooper who says he can make it all dissappear. Who says all he wants in exchange is a little favour.
Yandere! State Trooper who turns very nasty very fast when you reject his offer. Who pulls you out of your car and slams you down on the hood of his cruiser.
Yandere! State Trooper who says he needs to search you and kicks your legs far wider apart than they need to go.
Yandere! State Trooper who says he's detaining you for his safety even as he tightens the cuffs so much they dig into your wrists.
Yandere! State Trooper who leans down and growls that a borderline felon like you needs to be thoroughly searched.
Yandere! State Trooper who takes his sweet time searching you. Who drags his fingertips up your legs even though all you're wearing is sheer panty hose and anyone can see you're not hiding anything. Who let's his hands brush against your bra more than once. Who stands so close behind you, you can smell his aftershave.
Yandere! State Trooper who growls like an animal when you try and pull away from him.
Yandere! State Trooper who says you only have yourself to blame. Who lifts your cute little pencil skirt above your ass and is crass enough to wolf whistle when he gets a good look at you.
Yandere! State Trooper who is so impatient to play that he grabs your pantyhose and rips it open. Who smirks at the tiny little thong you're wearing and hooks his finger in it, just to stretch it back and let it snap against your clit. Who chuckles just a little at the way you jump.
Yandere! State Trooper who keeps his leather gloves on as he rubs his fingers up and down your slit. Who slowly eases a finger into you and watches you squirm at the foreign feeling. A trooper must always be thorough when doing a search he claims.
Yandere! State Trooper who leans forward so his crotch rubs against your almost bare ass and his lips brush against your ear.
Yandere! State Trooper who rubs his tip up and down your pussy lips, listening to your breath hitch and reveling in it. Who pushes into you oh so slowly, inch by inch. Who can't help but moan at the way you quiver both around and underneath him.
Yandere! State Trooper who gets rougher the closer he gets to coming. Who grabs your handcuffs and pulls you back on his dick with every thrust.
Yandere! State Trooper who bites your neck when he comes just so he can mark you all at once.
Yandere! State Trooper who calls you baby doll as he fucks you and ma'am when he's done.
Yandere! State Trooper who walks you back to your car because your can barely stand properly after the pounding he gave you.
Yandere! State Trooper who closes your car door like a gentleman and leans over you with his arm on the roof. Who's grinning like a wolf with you panties hanging out his front pocket. And you try to ignore him but no matter what, you can't get his cologne off your skin.
Yandere! State Trooper who winks at you and says these backwood roads are real dangerous for pretty little things driving alone. That he'll personally escort you home from now on.
Yandere! State Trooper who tilts your chin up to face him and looks into your terrified eyes and says it's his duty to protect and serve.

könig is your personal hand warmerâŠ
ă»â„ă»yelps when you put your freezing hands against his neck, catching him off guard as he doesnât wear his mask around you
ă»â„ă»yet instead of pushing you away, he grabs your hands and stuffs them down the top of his thick sweater, pressing them against his chest <3
ă»â„ă»give it a couple of seconds and your hands are practically burning up (how is he so warm all the time?!)
ă»â„ă»now, if you trail your hands just a tad further down and squeeze, thatâs the full body warm up activation sequence, schĂ€tzchenâŠ
