》Master Post《

A repeating tapping of a heavy boot. A bobbing knee, which his huge sweaty hand tried to force into halt again. He was used to life-or-death situations. Calculating everything in the back of his head to make it out alive and achieve the desired outcome. Nervous was never a word you would think of when looking at the behemoth of a man König was. Maybe respected or even feared, but definitely not as anxious as he felt right now. He was deployed in Berlin for more than three months now. Working together with the KSK. Nothing he wasn’t used to. Nothing that would leave him sleepless. Still, he didn’t find much sleep for the last three days. Three days ago, was the day when you made the decision to fly over to Germany to visit him.

You had a phone call, rambling about your day when he nearly fell asleep because of the difference in time zones. He loved to stay awake listening to your voice anyway. It quickly became a habit for him. It felt like your voice was stuck in his life forever. Maybe it was simply because he believed his life just really started with the day he met you. Your voice was the needed comfort after a stressful day for him. A comfort that lulled him deeper into a slumber, imagining you would be by his side. Only your recent question brought him back to reality.

“Entschuldige. What were you saying?” [Excuse me] A yawn followed the thick German accent as he rubbed his forehead. His phone rested on his brawn chest.

“Silly.” You laughed while repositioning the laptop in front of you. The screen showed a website with different flight options. “I asked you, if you’d like me to come over for your days off.” It was a genuine question, eventually a bit shyer than the first time you asked him.

Suddenly, he was broad awake. Sitting up in his bed, the phone slid off his chest. He barely could catch it before it would’ve fallen to the floor. “Let me buy you the ticket.” All exhaustion in his voice was replaced with determination.

“Kö…”

“Not negotiable, Engel.” [angel] No sooner said than done, the plane tickets were bought.

A decision that led him to the Berlin airport, waiting for your arrival. A single rose resting on the seat next to him. Why was he so nervous when a good friend came over? Simple: Because you were already so much more to him. The two of you often spent the holidays together, when his job allowed it of course. Just two good friends sharing some quality time, but this time felt different. König had made up his mind some time ago. A night when he was sure not to see the rising sun again, and everything that clung to his mind was your smile. The only thing that kept him going was the thought of returning to you. He knew back then that he was screwed, too scared to risk the friendship you shared. He wanted to keep everything normal between both of you. Not sure how he’d manage, but he would try his best.

Just a few more minutes passed and then you walked along the corridor, wearing the mesmerizing smile he loved so much. Suitcase in one of your hands and the other already reaching out to him, while he pulled you in a tight hug. Bending down to embrace you fully, while you let go of your suitcase to do the same. He inhaled your scent as he buried his masked face into your hair. It was like all the anxiety had left his body. “Du hast mir echt gefehlt.”

“König.” You laughed while pulling away, searching for his crystal blue eyes. Eventually you found his habit of switching back to his mother tongue cute, even if you often had troubles understanding him.

“Sorry.” He squeezed your shoulders before redrawing his hand to massage his nape. “I’ve missed you… a lot." You could notice the smile, even when half of his face was covered by a black cotton mask he wore often when both of you were out. Before you could say something else, he held the flower up in front of you for you to take. No words, just a small gesture while he averted his eyes from yours.

“There was no need to.” You took the rose out of his hand, your fingers brushing amongst his for the blink of an eye. “Thank you.” Your tone became a bit shyer, while your cheeks were stained in a slight rose. Something he missed as the floor became so much more interesting. There was never a need to be honest, but he still managed to give you little things. Just little gifts to show how much he cared.

Without hesitation he took your suitcase and held out his arm for you to take. A polite gesture, something that became a habit whenever you two walked somewhere. He would lead you to wherever needed while you wrapped your hand around his beefy upper arm. He always needed to slow his steps to match your pace. This time he led you to his car. Holding the passenger door open for you to take your seat. Just then he stored your luggage in the trunk and took his own seat.

“Where are you taking me?” It took you some time before you asked him. Your eyes taking in the different views of Berlin’s streets. It was your first time being here, so literally everything seemed to catch your interest. König made sure to take a longer route to your place of destination. Driving past the Tempelhofer Feld which looked so out of place. Nothing but huge snowy fields in the middle of the city. Making sure to take an extra turn in the roundabout by the Siegessäule. Leading you all the way back to Alexanderplatz. The whole city was covered in adorable lights, little Christmas Trees and lanterns. But in his opinion none of their lights could compete with the shining in your eyes. He told you more or less stupid facts about the places you drove past till he parked the car in one of the underground garages near the huge shopping center called Alexa, which was completely flooded in decorations and humans running the last errands for the holidays.

A shopping center you tried to fight your way out. It was way too crowded, and made you feel kind of anxious. Your hand clinging tight onto his upper arm while he led you through the mass of people. To his advantage he could overlook most of the customers around. He slid his arm around your shoulder to keep you closer to him. Granting you a feeling of safety. “Just a little while longer, mein Engel, just a little bit,” he said calmly, hoping his voice and touch could bring you the same comfort as you brought him all the time, while leading you out of the center and onto a bigger place. The space itself was covered in little wooden booths where you could buy many different kinds of food, drinks or little presents. It was one of the various Christmas markets which are dispersed all over the city.

Even if you could easily breath and most people granted you some space for yourself out here, you were still tugged into his side. Not daring to let go, until you stood in front of a huge field of ice. It was formed like a ring, and in the middle was a water fontaine - the Neptunbrunnen - decorated in some cozy lights. The air was filled with laughter and screams by children sliding over the icey floor. “Engel, you mentioned some time ago that you’d like to go ice skating.” He patted your head slightly, while adjusting the cotton cap you wore. “And how nobody would join..so I thought…”

Without waiting for him to finish and without hesitation you wrapped your arms around him. “Kö, I love you.”

He also wrapped his arms around you, while his heart felt heavy, still, you could feel the vibrations of his chest as some chuckles left his throat. He had heard those words millions of times. Something that was such a routine, while he knew how you meant it, he would love to hear it with different intentions. “Ich hab dich auch lieb.” [I love you too.(used for friends)]

Within the next twenty minutes you were on the ice, skates laced onto your feet while holding König’s hands to help stabilize himself. He may be an ace when it comes to rescuing hostages and invading enemy terrain, but standing on the thin metal beneath his huge feet, it was difficult for him. But you couldn’t help it and find it really adorable. Little children were faster on the ice than him. But you didn’t mind. Any minute you spent with him was just pure entertainment. After some time, when he finally grew more confident on the skates, he told you to take some rounds on your own. Just so you could fully enjoy it, while he made little steps to even fulfil one round on the rink.

The next thing you could remember was a bit blurry. The white floor stained red. You just assumed that he fell. As someone explained later to you, there were some careless kids, they didn’t take notice of the nearly two meter man lying on the cold floor. Unfortunately they literally ran over him, the skid running a deep wound through his jacket and into the flesh of his arm. You were freaking out, yelling at the kids while there were already two people helping him up and taking care of him, calling an ambulance. Better safe than sorry, they told him as he declined the offer. It really wasn’t a big deal for König, but for you.

The whole thing led to the two of you sitting in the emergency room, where a nurse took care of the injury. Just a few stitches and everything was fine. Well, not for you. As you walked into the hotel room he booked for you, you still kept ranting about those brats that hurt him. That hurt your König. He couldn’t do anything but laugh about your rambling. “You’re adorable like that.” The words slipped faster out of his mouth than he could’ve blinked. Sitting at the edge of your bed, mask long forgotten and staring once more at the floor. There weren't many things that would make the Austrian nervous, but knowing to say something inappropriate for the sake of your friendship indeed did make him nervous. Maybe even more as you didn’t answer the man now searching for your eyes. You stood in front of him, even in this position you barely were on eye level due to his height.

His eyes kept scanning your face, every twitching of your brows or blinking of your eyes. He observed it before he exhaled deeply. Took your hands in his to pull you a bit closer. You let him do so, still not saying anything. Too curious what was happening in his head.

“Ich liebe dich.” He looked directly in your eyes while keeping a stern face. Unsure of what he was doing.

You just nodded while turning your head away now. “Yeah… love you too.” It was the usual answer, something so casual for you to say. An old habit.

“Nein, mein Engel.” [No, my angel.] He shook his head and brushed his thumbs over your knuckles, before pulling them up to his mouth to place a slight kiss onto them. “Hab dich lieb and Ich liebe dich, those are two different things." His eyes held a bit of fear, but also so much adoration as his hands couldn’t let go of yours.

His words made something click inside your head. This wasn’t like the empty phrase he used so often. Not like the words you used to say. It wasn’t by habit. It was a confession, something you could have missed easily, if it wasn't for him to clarify it right here. Besides all the promises he made to himself, to keep it on the casual and friendly bases you had, he couldn’t hold it back anymore. He wanted to be honest with you. He never wanted to lie to you. Those words often died on his tongue before, but not this time.

Your lips parted while one of his hands reached out to cup your cheek and your throat ran dry. “You mean it?” It was nearly pathetic asking for reassurance, but he got it. Pulling you once more closer to him, his nose touched yours now. Your noses brushing amongst each other as he slowly nodded. So you took the initiative and closed the last gap separating both of you. Placing your lips gently onto his while closing your eyes. His hands let go of yours, to take hold onto your waist while pulling you impossible closer. You nearly tripped over, but your hands found his shoulders to gain a bit of stability while the kiss grew deeper. Neither of you wanted to let go first, but the air escaping your lungs let you pull away sooner or later.

With a raising and falling chest you looked into each other's eyes and a smile tugged at his lips. “This becoming our new habit?” you teased him with the same genuine smile.

“Ich hoffe doch.” [I hope so] With those words he threw himself onto his back, pulling you immediately on top of him and wrapping his arms around your figure, listening to your little giggles in doing so.

“Kö, your wound!” You scolded him, but he didn't care, not when he finally could fall asleep the way he always wanted to. You tugged onto his chest, beefy arms keeping you close to him while you could listen to his heartbeat, which slowed more and more after the confession.

The whole situation led you to spending most of the days of this year’s holidays in the cozy hotel room, taking good care of the wound that would now become a scar. An addition to the ones he already had, but this one would always hold a special meaning to him. Reminding him on the day you became fully his.

🎀 Ellen x Witch!Reader 🎀

︶︶︶ ⊹ ︶︶︶ ୨♡୧ ︶︶︶ ⊹ ︶︶︶

GN!Reader, Witch!Reader, OooOoOoo Magic!!! Except I dunno how magic systems work :'3, There's no Pie rivalry here!! Pie is super accepting :D I was sick at home when I started this sooo let's see if the first half of it is legible...

Requested by anon

First of all, it's soooo common for Ellen to just get enamored with you. Like, it's kind of creepy how much they just laser-focus on you, but I promise they're not trying to be.

In general, Ellen is an observer of everyone that they meet, and so since you piqued their interest... you're gonna have to straight-up confront them if you ever want them off your back.

Which would be a difficult task to do! Since you were initially super intimidated by Ellen's curt personality. They're very blunt, very mysterious, and again-- super observant. Whenever you feel anxious in their presence, they immediately take note of your quickened heartbeat, and they comment on it, too! Super embarrassing, but thankfully they seem pretty embarrassed too, since they never know what to do...

I mean, how often does a fortune-teller find genuine company with the other folk? Ellen is usually somebody who talks with only plants or animals, and they only get along with Pie, because Pie is also hard for others to understand. So when it comes to you, someone really cute (wait, did they just think that?) and sweet, Ellen is actually, pretty shaken!

Not that they want you to know, though... they try to appear even more confident, but it just kinda scares you more. Which... well, that's not what they wanted either, but they'll take it for now!

Sigh... if only Ellen knew how to deal with their feelings... they finally meet a fellow witch, and they're totally blowing it!

...Wait, that's it!

Ellen totally uses the witch excuse to hang out with you more, saying stuff like, "Have you tried this new potion recipe?" and "Who was your mentor?" -- and, to be honest, it was pretty cute of them to be so shy about it, but you're still overwhelmed by all of their questions! You're just a witch-in-training, but Ellen is like a scholar!

But... that's exactly why you seem to fall into a similar intrigue with them. They're so smart and admirable, and....

Okay, Pie had to shut you up there. Seriously, you two were pining over each other like a bunch of idiots, and they just had to listen to all of it! Though you couldn't totally understand their mumblings, you knew they were displeased...

And so, it took a lot of courage, but after lighting so many candles, brewing so many good-luck potions, and kissing so many rose quartz crystals...

You went over to ask out Ellen on a date, and they were already dressed up. Yeah, they saw this exact scene in their orb.

Although Ellen can see the future, they're still a very anti-social person, and don't exactly have the greatest social skills. They're not very romantic either, actually being super awkward, but you love them all the same.

Ellen just doesn't wanna mess this entire thing up, since they're so used to seeing tragedy happen in their life! And you can relate, since you had spent so much of your youth buried in spellbooks, unable to really spend time with other folk.

But although you're both super, duper freakin' awkward... it's a perfect match!

(And just between you and me, although Ellen isn't a romantic person... they're very unintentionally suave when they're in their element. When you're struggling with a brew, they'll put their hands over your's. and guide your stirring with a low voice in instruction... yeah. You're welcome for that image.)

Thatss nice to hear. I hope you had good food, I had thanksgiving but I personally don't understand it as much. Might be because I'm not American..

The Gilded Age, 02x07, Wonders never Cease. My thoughts

This episode was a fucking roller-coaster of a ride! One moment I'm crying then next I'm happy for someone, next I'm completely suspicious of one certain rich mrs. pain in ass.

First to everyone that was on to Muade Beaten right off the bat y'all get million brilliant points and I completely apologize for ever doubting any of you. Omg y'all were so right!! I truly didn't believe she was part of the scam. She freakin good! Give her award for that shit. At the same time I'm sad because I wanted her to be on the up and up. I really liked her, especially with Oscar. They made a cute couple. Omg poor Oscar, I just wanted to hug him when he started crying at John's place and I started crying for Oscar. Then when he tells Aunt Agnes how much money he lose, I started crying for all of them. Because I thought he had just used his individual money for the investment not his mother's money also. That's when I was oh no no no Oscar!! This has to be ok somehow, it just has too.

Then if that wasn't hard enough they have Luke pass away. I was just sobbing when Aunt Ada woke up he was gone. It's just awful that they were together for such a short time. Aunt Ada deserves so much more than just a taste of happily married bliss. My heart just brakes for her. At the same time I am glad she got to be loved like that and love someone in that way.

I did love what Aunt Agnes said to Luke when they were alone. It was also wonderful getting to see that side of her, Aunt Agnes truly loves and cares for her family. Even though she has this tough outer exterior, once you get pass that she's quite loving and she a softness about her. I like how she take her role as head of her family, all her family seriously. Aunt Agnes will always be the strength, the backbone, the true North for them. No matter if it takes kicking their ass or loving them like mad but most likely both she will be there doing it. Aunt Agnes over this season especially has become another of my favorite characters.

Ok once again not enough Bertha in the episode! I think we got spoiled last season because the show kinda revolved around Bertha and the Russell's. But this season their expending the other characters story lines more so we're getting less of what I want the most Bertha. Maybe they could made TGA two hours long episodes. I totally watch them!!

But onto what we did get. First fucking Mrs. Astor, suddenly all oh I got you box at the Academy of music. Yea like Bertha wasn't gonna be what this bitch up to. Mrs. Astor overly nice, her voice dripping with enough sugar put Bertha into glucose shock. Mrs. Astor should work on her fake nice act it's really transparent to anyone that can smell bullshit at 1000 feet. Then the stunt she pulled at Aurora's just made her look stupid not Bertha. But I so did love Bertha's crystal clear No, than she's all look bitch I never told you for sure I was doing that. Why are bringing up now, don't look so smug you haven't won anything. I'm not about to be your lackey. Mrs. Astor getting all huffy and leaveing she's just so pathetic omg. Mrs. Astor really thought she got the better hand of Bertha Russell with her stealing the Duke not with standing. But she simply can't Bertha far more intelligent, cunning, calculated and purely ruthless then Mrs. Astor. On flip side of that Bertha is also friendly, sweet, fun, kind and sincere. Where Mrs. Astor full of crap there's nothing sincere about her, she's all fake nice and attitude. I think she far to use to people kissing her ass and getting her way. We all know Bertha isn't going to do that. I'm so ready to see what happens at the opening night at both opera houses!!

I'm so happy for Jake! Mr. Bannister all casual oh I write my friend in German clock makers group for you. I really do like how there like a little family at the Van Rhijn house (with the exception of Armstrong). I really hope Jake gets his pattern, then goes on to be a clock maker if that's what he wants.

I don't have any idea why Marian is trying to convince herself to marry Dashiell. She's not in love with him, what she going to do wait until she's actually married to the man than be like I made mistake here. I wish she could be as brave for herself as she for everyone else. It's like this all she think she deserves is a loveless marriage at least on her side so she'll doom herself to it. Instead of being brave and looking for what deserves a love like Aunt Ada found. Which might be with one Larry Russell.

I adored the scene with Bertha and George. It's always a treat getting to see Bertha with her hair down all related in her night clothes. I really love that show has a in love married couple at core of it. It's not too much or too little, it's just right as Goldie Locks would say. They have reached the ideal balance for a loving marriage couple in a series, now all other series take note please. They are very endearing. When Bertha sat on George's lap such a romantic thing to do. I really do enjoy their scene together. Ever if their just talking. 😍

I was hoping George would end up being a good guy with his workers, treat them as human beings but so far he's still being ruthless ass. It's so hard with him, when he's with Bertha and his children I really like him, but as soon as he's all business I can't stand him. It drives me nuts.

I'm so happy to see Peggy stand her ground. But I do wonder how long that's going to go on for? Her boss doesn't even seem to give a second thought about his wife or family, just going to listen to his dick. Because let's be honest that's what he's doing. I just don't like him there's something about him the rubs me the wrong way, beyond the I'm so easily willing to cheat on my wife. I definitely feel he's done this before. Peggy might want to find out how many other babies he has around! I just get this feeling off him it's more like he wants to own Peggy untilhe gets bored then he moves on to the the next woman. I hope a really good guy comes into Peggy's life that's not married and sweeps her off her feet.

I really like what Larry did with his speech making sure that at least people in that room which did include the President know that Mrs. Roebling did the work on Brooklyn Bridge. I hope she knew that she wasn't forgotten in history. I learned about her college in my women in America history course. Now thanks to The Gilded Age so many more know her incredible story and she's come back to life in a way that makes the history even more exciting.

Oh I almost... I love when Mr. Baudin ask Mrs. Bruce if she going to watch the fireworks. I was omg the roof of the house! Because that house has to tall enough. I was happy I was correct. I thought I was so sweet he took up there so she could see them. I really like them together. I hope they become a couple. Makes me think of Mrs. Hughes and Mr. Carson in a way.

[sunny-day-dream]

I… I’m nervous! I love reading your stuff it’s just… it’s so freakin amazing!!! Can I request some sun and moon with a SO who is really shy but does tarot and is just a a cute little witch? (Because let’s be honest witchcraft is just spicy astrology lol) can be sfw and nsfw because of the well known fertility festivals and stuff.

AHHHHHHH ANON!! You're chasing after my gd heart with this, I'm so happy!!! (my inner pagan is screaming rn, this may be a little self indulgent whoopsimsorry)

Sun/Moon with a cute little witch S/O??? YES. PLEASE. (I may need to write a oneshot about this, they just seem so cute with a little witch partner ohmygodddd)

WARNINGS: NSFW, Breeding Kink?? I guess??

--

SFW

🌗 They adore watching you work, and will sit with you for hours if you want to practice your readings and different spreads! If you offer to do one for them each? They’ll be watching so intently, hooked on your every word as you explain the cards and their meanings to them both. (You’ll catch them trying to touch your deck only once- and they are super respectful after you told them about how personal it is to do so- how it may ruin it.)

(They made their own out of glitter glue, pens and paper, and they practice doing spreads every night just waiting for the day they’re confident enough to try properly with you! They did it just to feel closer to you, to help connect with you better.)

🌗 That lovingly made witch hat decorated with silver stars and moons, and little gold suns? With a bell from their wrist sewn onto the tip? It took them weeks of fiddling around, their hands too big to use the small sewing needles properly without lots of time and practice- and there were at least 6 failed attempts before they were happy enough with it to present it to you. The shy, almost hesitant look they gave you as they did so almost made you cry, and you've adored that hat with all your being ever since, loving how proud they looked when they saw you wearing it.

(They're working on a matching shawl- please smother them with affection and love, they're trying so hard to sew it perfectly...)

🌗 If you make spell jars or the like, they have a shelf set aside in their bedroom just for the items you gift them! Every little gift or thoughtful object you give them is kept there on display for their eyes only. Little protection jars, crystals, a spell candle or two- even some oils you’d made in an effort to help them focus and get along better are safely stored away there.

(Every time they looked at the small jar they kept hidden in their body for safe keeping, they thought of you and loved you even more- and if the way they got along better because of it wasn’t magic? Well, love was a powerful thing too…)

🌗 They absolutely take note of you mentioning anything you need for a spell or ritual you want to try out- and you often find yourself gifted these exact items moments after the words leave your mouth!

They have a box hidden under their bed just filled with these things, having stocked up when they noticed how fast you tended to go through them. The excited, happy smile you always gave them when they offered you what you were missing left them feeling like they were floating, flustered and happy they could help you out.

(Bonus points if you ask them to help you prep the items- crushing or mixing things for you and handing them to you when you ask- they LOVE being so involved!!!)

��� If you ever set up an alter anywhere they can reach- please check it often. They’ll think they’re being sneaky when they leave little offerings on it (with good intentions of course), but if you walked in to see googly eyes on something VERY important one more time-

🌗 If you explain Beltane to them… holy shit they’re IN. PLEASE they want to do that with you. PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE-

🌗 You won’t hear about anything else with how excited they are for it- and if you’d explained handfasting? They’re nearly insufferable with how eager they are, blushing every time they imagined tying themselves to you in some form of marriage.

🌗 They want to understand you better, want to get to know everything they can about the things you believe in and love- and if that means celebrating something so interesting with you??? All the better!!

🌗 They’ll try to make you a maypole if they can, and decorate with streamers and paper flowers covering every inch of free space they could find around the daycare! (despite everyone else wondering what the hell they were doing and who was going to have to clean it up later)

🌗 They’ll sneak out of the building with you once everyone had left for the night, both eventually finding yourselves in a secluded garden just outside of the city. A small fire would quickly be set up and very soon, you'd both be cuddled up together as you stargazed, quietly enjoying the intimate moment.

NSFW

🌗 Now on the other hand, if you’d explained that it was a day of great fertility? Well, they’ll absolutely indulge and test that out with you, bending you over and fucking you until your legs are shaking, almost giving out as you rely on them to hold you steady.

And then the real fun starts-because they're not even close to being done with you tonight.

🌗 If they get the chance, you’ll absolutely find yourself being chased across the grass and in between trees, ending with you pinned to the ground, your flower crown crooked on your head as you looked up at them all flushed and wanting. They’d be melting against you in moments, pressing your legs back against your chest softly, cock already heavy and hard between you both as they desperately stuttered out- asking if they could be inside you again- despite the fact that they’d already left you dripping with their mess not even an hour earlier (as evident with how easy it was for them to slide inside you when you agreed)

🌗 And oh boy, you’d opened the floodgates now. They’ll cum inside you as many times as they possibly can while you celebrate, and whenever they’re not inside you, they’ll be holding you close, a hand pressed between your legs to keep their seed from seeping out…all for the sake of the festival of course. No other reason >w>

🌗 Watching you lay in front of them, skin bathed in the pale moonlight as they lifted your lower body from the ground, was an almost religious experience for them both. It was even better when your mouth parted in a quiet gasp, your legs wrapping tighter around their hips as they slowly- oh so slowly- pressed inside you once more, coming to rest as deeply as they could while the efforts of their previous attentions seeped out around them, staining your inner thighs as they rutted into you. It was a fertility festival after all, they had to make sure they were celebrating it right!

A cute story while I'm sad

Lucy pursed her lips, staring at the brew bubbling away in her cauldron.

"Ugh...I knew synthetic dragon's blood wouldn't work." She groaned, turning away from her concoction. It was a love spell for a friend, though Lucy didn't like making them.

But Juvia was persistent, even bringing in a recipe she borrowed from a sea witch she knew.

Lucy didn't like using other people's work, but she didn't have anything like this in her repertoire.

It focused more on bringing out someone's true thoughts and desires for another. Gray was the perfect candidate.

Lucy rolled her eyes, but couldn't say no. Juvia deserved to hear what he really felt, though Gray also deserved to be kept in his right mind. And the only way to tweak the spell properly would be with dragons blood.

The only problem was, was that the blood was so unbelievably rare. Of course it was, who would ever be lucky enough to get their hands on it? You'd only ever see a dragon if you were stupid, everyone avoided them like the plague. It was a death sentence to even think about getting anywhere near where they lived.

Synthetic dragon's blood was popular, strong enough to replace the real thing if need be. Obviously not in her case.

Lucy chewed on her lip, there was no way she was going to die for a stupid love spell.

It felt cruel to leave Juvia’s situation unhandled, especially when everyone knew he was crazy about her.

And, technically, she knew where a dragon lived.

It was pure coincidence that she came across their home, something that she found while out on a hike looking for elderberries.

There was a poorly constructed sign poking out of the ground, old wood carved into with a shaky hand.

'Dragon territory. Turn back now.'

Lucy didn't think twice, hopping on her broom and getting the heck out of dodge. She wanted to die a normal death, thank you very much.

Lucy mulled it over, wondering if she went in with the right protection, maybe there would be no harm in asking. Or, maybe she'd get lucky and find some blood lying around from a scratch they'd accidentally given themselves.

A magic protection spell...and maybe an anti-squishing spell? So they couldn't stomp her to death. Or chew on her body...or drop her from a thousand feet in the air.

"Juvia really owes me now..." Lucy grumbled, securing the bag on her hip, making sure her wand wouldn't fall out. She walked outside, bracing the sunlight as she whistled for her broom.

She heard it cut through the wind, stopping abruptly below her waist, Lucy turning to seat herself sideways.

"We're booking it if anything goes wrong, don't forget that."

The closer she got, the more she wondered if she should turn around. No one knew what kind of magic a dragon used until they met them, not to say there were many survivors.

While dragons who used magic relating to earthly elements were more well known, there were scarier powers within their grasp.

Blood, darkness, space, crystals...things that not even a powerful witch like herself would know how to properly defend against.

"Juvia really freakin' owes me now."

It wasn't long before she was hovering over the ground, finding the same sign poking out from a bush.

She took in a deep breath before proceeding forward, tightening her grip on the handles.

The woods ahead were incredibly quiet, a distinct lack of birds chirping or animals rustling as they ran by.

There was a distinct smell of hot air and burnt wood coming downwind, Lucy feeling her stomach turn over.

"Just great...a fire dragon..."

They were some of the wildest, most erratic beasts around. Probably the worst out of all the elements she could've come across. Couldn't it have been a nice water dragon? Drowning sounded better than getting burnt to a crisp.

Even chaos dragons kept their distance from fire elements. They just weren't worth the trouble.

Lucy reminded herself that she could go home, there was still ample time to escape with her body intact. But that small glimmer of hope for a successful outcome kept her motivated. She was a good friend, how lovely.

She floated slowly toward the smell, figuring the stronger it was, the closer she was.

MY DAY WAS HORRIBLE BUT OH GOD THIS MIRACLE KNOCKED OFF ALL MY SLEEP PARALYSIS AND WANDERING THROUGH THE CITY! GUYS JUST LOOK AT HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS IS! I'M IN LOOOOOOOVEE I LOVE HOW THE COLORS OF GLANNI AND ROBBIE BLEND INTO EACH OTHER IT'S SO SO SO! SO AAAAAAAA I DON'T KNOW SO MANY WORDS! AND THIS CUTE SPORTACUS STRIP! IT'S SO TINY BUT SO CUTE!!! AND THESE CUTE FLOWERS AND OUR NICKS AND NUMBER ONE AND THIS SUNFLOWER LIKE ON GOLDIE'S HEADPHONES AND THIS STRIPED MIC AND THE CUTEEST GOLDIE CRYSTAL NYYYAAA THAT'S SO COOL OH MY GOD!

I LOVE THIS SO FREAKIN MUCH! YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW MUCH!!! AAAND YOU KNOW WHAT I SAY - I LOVE YOUUUUUU <3 <3 <3

I FINALLY FINISHED!!!!

This little thing was made about thoses headphones @rinirinisbestu designed, and MOSTLY about our little babies Rini and Goldie!!!

I made one side of it the same pattern as the headphones Rini made for Goldie, and the upper part for Glanni. I wanted to do the same for the other but with Rini, exept that the mic was making it impossible. So instead I made the mic about Rini, the side with Robbie and the upper part with Sportacus !!!

Most of it is colored in Green and dark green for Rini's bush too!

And of course, our names and little flowers!!!

On the volume button, I made Rini's stripes and Goldie's crystal

That's.. My first custom and one of my biggest project so far!

Love you all, Good night!!!

Morning kisses

Pairing: billy russo x Fem!reader

Warnings: kissing scars, mention of sex(maybe a lil smut, but nothing serious), fluff, billy being a soft boi for the reader, and engagements.

Summary: the morning after an amazing night with your lover , billy. And having a small lovingly conversation with him, while kissing his scars.

(I've never written smut before, and if i try..i feel like im not ready to be in that lane yet, even though i read smut stories. I just im getting the hang of writting, but i promise for those who want smut, it'll come soon. Hopefully)

(Aesthetic made by me)

Y/n woke up from the sun shining in her face, as the birds chirped. She stirred in her sleep, when she felt a hand on her naked waist. She thought for a second, but remember almost immediately the actions of last night. How billy and Y/n softly moaned under and on top of each other. How both of them begged, groaner, whimpered, gasped in pleasure. How the feeling of gold sparks took over the room. Both, covered in sweat, the feeling of skin to skin, love and love. The face both made when they both reached their climax. How billy let out a loud 'fuck' and y/n nearly screamed.

How billy officially marked y/n as his. How he left beautiful hickies and love bites on her thighs, stomach, ass, and chest. And a ring on her ring finger. How he had planned 4 months of how to propose the perfect way.

Had taken her to the rooftop of a building, on sight was a helicopter. Flying until they stopped at a beautiful crystal lake, the lake y/n had talked about so much. The lake she practically grew up with.

And there, he was on his knees, an open box on sight with the most beautiful-ist ring.

Of course y/n said yes. For a celebration, the two entered their bedroom in their shared penthouse. The sound of skin clapping, the bed moving, the moans, groans, praises, whimpers, curses. All of pleasure.

Y/n had been so focused on the events from yesterday, she didnt notice her fianceé, stirring, opening his eyes softly. Until he fully opened them, he saw the most beautiful sight. His fianceé. She smiled, as he followed her actions smiling as well.

"Hey, baby" she grinned at him, pecking his chest, "hey, my love" he grinned back at her, his finger lifting her chin, kissing her lips softly. Her hands found his face, her thumb caressing his cheek, the cold small feeling of the ring making him giddy. It was really real.

As they pulled away, y/ns leg lifted up to his waist, his hand now caressed her thigh, but let out a groan. Y/n smirked, sure her legs were completely freakin numb from last night, but she was happy, and so was billy.

She straddled his hips, the sheet follwing her, now her cheat was exposed to billy. Who was absolutely enjoying the view. He smirked.

"You're so beautiful" he cooed, his right hand on her waist and the other on her thight. He squeezed his hold making y/n whimper. He smirked, sitting up, y/n still his lap, they let out small groans. Y/ns hands around his shoulder, she kissed his nose making his scrunch his nose cutely.

Y/n smiled, glancing at his scars, she looked back at him. "Can i?" She asked, bully furrowed his eyebrows but nodded anyway. Y/n bend a little so she could gently peck one scar, then the other. She looked back at billy to see him looking at her lovinly. Y/n blushed.

"I wont let anyone hurt you ever again" y/n promised. "Thats my job baby" billy smiled at her.

"Its mine too" she pecked him . Her rolled his hips, making y/n close her eyes and bite her lips. Billy groaned.

"Fuck" he softly moaned. "Im not letting you out of this place today, i hope you dont have work to intend to" billy smirked.

Y/n giggled, but the giggled was sinply replaced by a moan as soon as Billy entered her. "Fuck!" Both moaned.

The two stayed in all day, tangled each others arms, laughing and smiling. But as if they were teenagers all over again.

The first quest of Sky: Children of the Light’s Season of Shattering is in the Forgotten Ark in the Golden Wasteland. You can complete the main quest after somewhere 28-30 minutes into an hour, and the shards from Eden will rain down. You’ll know when it’s arriving when the whole sky is turned dark cloudy red

I seriously recommend working with others, and using the performance candles around to help cause gosh darn it you can’t even recharge yourself with light so easily anymore unless it’s from spirits or stars on this season. Not to forget those freakin’ crabs are powered up by the red crystals from Eden and beeping will attract them to you rather than being flipped

But I did think this whole experience was kinda fun though quite challenging, and the cute little dark flowers that you can float on were nice

After that we start another quest to collect lights from crabs

We gotta run & jump around to get them while avoiding the super crabs which were much easier than being sitting ducks for them

Once completing that we receive ascended candles, and a memory of this Season of Shattering, and CHECK. IT. OUT!!–

Look at this gorgeous view!! ✨ Older jellyfishes in static motion and it’s so pretty!!

I’m enjoying this story season very much so far, and I’m looking forward to what’s next!

[𝟸:𝟹𝟾]

Keys? Got it. Coat? Oh right, you’re wearing it. Nervousness? A lot more than you thought, the flutters in your stomach confirming it. You’re sure you’ve already checked like 20 times, but you give yourself one last glance over in the mirror before exiting your apartment. 

Letting out a breath, you take about 10 steps forward before turning abruptly and walking straight back to your apartment. Right, phone..

Finally embarking off, you continue along the sidewalk, the chilly breeze and scuttling leaves blowing by. The world’s pure white. The ground like a fluffy blanket, and the sky a piercing white. 

Shivering, you check the time. Oof, a little late. Quickly picking up the pace, you briskly leave footprints behind in the glittering snow. Once you reach the destination, you stop in awe. 

Everything covered in white sparkling, the sight causing your breath to hitch. You slowly sit down on a bench, eyes unable to focus on one thing. 

Your breath leaves you, swirling through the air. Your ears and nose are definitely freezing, but the sight’s worth it. Suddenly, little flurries begin to rain down. You look up, hands clenched in your pockets to keep warm. You stick your tongue out, attempting to catch the white snowflakes sprinkling down. It’s so entertaining you almost forget why you came here. 

A chuckle grabs your attention. Glancing over, Younghoon comes into view. Almost immediately, your face heats up. Hopefully, he doesn’t notice, and you can blame it on the cold. 

Younghoon’s heart fluttered at the sight of you. Red cheeks and nose, tiny glittering crystals all decorating you, sparking eyes that he can never get over. 

He sits next to you, and you feel the butterflies once more. A simple “hey” from him is enough to make your heart skip a beat. You smile, “hi. Isn’t it so pretty today? Also, it’s extremely cold.”

He laughs. “I can tell. Your cheeks and nose are red. It’s cute.” You subconsciously bring your hands up to your burning cheeks. Maybe in embarrassment or to hide the fact that you’re freakin whipped for this man. 

Younghoon speaks up. “So, uh- if you’re cold, I know something we can do to warm up?” You blink, opening your mouth, but nothing comes out. Younghoon internally punches himself. “No-wait! I didn’t mean anything by that- I mean, I did, but it’s not-“ 

You burst out giggling, hand up to cover your mouth. Younghoon can only stare in embarrassment until he finally breaks and joins in too. Once you finally calm down, face still flushed, you brightly nod. “Yeah, we can go. Well, it depends on what that something is..” 

He huffs in annoyance as you grin. 

Standing up, his hand brushes yours. You both look at each other for a second before glancing away shyly. Your heart’s beating loudly, but you decide you kinda like it. 

Younghoon guides you through the park, stopping in front of a vendor. It’s a hot chocolate truck. Your eyes widen in delight. He turns to you, “I found it earlier when waiting for you.” You two get in line behind a couple of people.

You’re still shivering, bouncing on your feet to keep warm as you wait. One thing you’re admiring the scenery and the next thing you see are two hands holding hot packs come into view. 

You freeze, spotting Younghoon hold the hot packs to your face. 

Laughing nervously, you say, “Wow, ha, I just got really hot! I guess your hot packs worked!” You watch him try to stifle a laugh.

The worker calls you up, and Younghoon orders. You take the chance while he’s looking away to quickly fan your flaming face, trying to cool down. He turns to you, two steaming cups in hand. 

You eagerly take one, admiring the pretty details on the cup. He takes a sip, before gasping and opening his mouth. “It’s hot!!” he rasps. And for some weird reason, you try to blow on his burned tongue to help. (maybe not do this in real life cause GERMS and the whole corona thing :) ) 

It lasts for a couple of seconds. Him freaking out from his burned mouth and you attempting to help. Eventually, Younghoon places his hands on his knees, blowing out air. “I think I’m okay now..” 

You softly smack him. “Idiot. Why would you drink a steaming hot chocolate?” He sheepishly smiles. “I just love hot chocolate.” You watch in adoration as he blows on the delightful drink. 

He takes a sip before looking at you, an extremely delighted expression on his face screaming that it’s really good. You make a note in your head. 

Heart? Completely stolen by this man, and you don’t even care.

Encompassed by You - JJ Maybank x Reader

Requested by @obx-beach​ : “so I love your writing and once you get a chance you should most definitely write a jj maybank x reader soulmate au. I was reading a bunch but have run out and think that you're writing would go well with it!💕 just a thought❤”

Warnings: 1 fuck. That’s it, this is so pg.

Words: 1159 

The luxury of being a kook would mean I work a part time job for a little extra cash, and not to put myself through college since my parents can’t afford all the expenses.

So here I am, the summer before Junior year, finding myself blending apples and juicing lemons, and scrubbing the countertops of a smoothie shop off of figure 8. Don’t be fooled though, working for a dollar above minimum wage isn’t as luxurious as it sounds. I’ve barely reached $3,000. That’s at least textbooks, right?

“Rhoda, I’m not gonna find my soulmate in high school. Do you know how rare that is?” I say to my coworker as I scrub harder on a spot of dried honey.

“My parents met in high school!”

“Well, I’m not your parents,” shrugging sarcastically, I slap the counter with my damp rag. She looks up, unamused, from the spot in front of the counter that she’s mopping.

“All I’m saying is, it’s not impossible.” Rhoda was lucky enough to meet her soulmate last week at the ripe age of 20. I think my parents met at 28, and the average meet-cute age is 27 according to google, so Rhoda got really lucky. I hope I’m just as lucky.

“So what was his symbol?” I ask. Lifting her sleeve, she reveals a blank musical staff that is sitting slightly under her right palm.

“It was seven notes to a melody of the song that was playing when I saw him at the party!” She gushes recalling the night fondly. On a closer look, I can see the time signature reads 6/8 and it sits in the key of E flat.

“That’s seems like it would be an oddly common combination--sheet music--what was the song?”

“Flicker by Niall Horan! Isn’t that just precious?” she says caressing her soulmark in awe.

Glancing down at my own soulmark, the tiny compass frame sits open, sits empty. The center is blank, perfectly framing the ordinary skin of my wrist; the needle and cardinal directions are nowhere to be found. Its position is identical to the image I had 15 minutes ago. Identical to the image I had 15 years ago.

“What if I just never find him? What if my soulmate is halfway across the world, and he doesn’t speak English and he doesn’t have the money to travel to the freakin’ outer banks of all places.”

“Aw, cheer up, buttercup. You’re gonna find your soulmate one day, I promise.” Rhoda’s smile is unfairly contagious and mysteriously always brightens my day. “Who knows, he could be the king of a country- and you could become even more of a queen than you already are!” She cheers. Always looking on the bright side.

When Rhoda finishes her little spiel of excitement, the brass bell above the door rings signifying a new customer. Looking up from the last of the counter-honey residue, I see JJ Maybank. We were table partners for the first week of freshman year environmental science before he was moved to sit directly by the teacher’s desk. Other than that we haven’t really talked ever, which I realize was a mistake, seeing as puberty has done him extremely well.

His blond hair is permanently disheveled, making him resemble Sonic the Hedgehog in the best way. His blue eyes are strikingly contrasted with his sun-kissed skin, no doubt a result from all the time he spends on the open water.

“Oh, I’m sorry we’re closed for the night.” Rhoda looks at me like I’m crazy before stepping in,

“It’s fine, sugar. We can make an exception. What can I get you?” Stepping behind the counter, she logs into her POS and takes down his order. He asks for a medium ‘ocean breeze’ which is coconut water, piña colada syrup, ice, and mango juice concentrate. A fairly simple drink for its price.

As she gives him his total, I turn around to make the drink but I’m stopped by Rhoda grabbing my arm. She gives me a look before suggestively glancing between me and JJ. He doesn’t notice because he’s taking out his wallet-thank god.

She lets go of me and mouths ‘talk to him’ before not-so-subtly throwing me forward towards the register. Then, she heads to the back to grab the ingredients from the fridge and begin preparing the drink. ‘Just because we have destined soulmates doesn’t mean I can’t date around for fun’ was Rhoda’s mantra for the first month and a half that I started working here. College boys are a challenge that slowly changed her mantra over time, but it was still enthusiastically enforced on my life because I ‘don’t have to deal with college boys yet’.

“Uh, 4.09,” I mutter as he hands me a $5 bill. I practically avoid eye contact as I double count the change and hand it to him.

As I reach my right hand forward, I place the change in his left. Our hands brush gently which makes my face heat to 1000 degrees. Why am I so awkward? Pulling my hand back to close the register, JJ’s right hand shoots out and grabs my wrist. The action scares me and I gasp lightly due to fright.

With furrowed brows and wide eyes, I look up to see JJ staring at my wrist. Specifically, at my soulmark. Studying it without a trace of emotion. Following his gaze, it leads to my wrist in his calloused hand. He then hesitantly releases my right arm, and uses the offending hand to pull up the long, white sleeve that covers his own wrist. JJ is probably moving at a normal pace but the tension he’s exuding makes his movements feel like time has slowed to ¼ of it’s normal speed.

He places his left wrist next to my right, connecting them like puzzle pieces. His skin is hot against my cooled arm that hasn’t yet fully recovered from reorganizing the fridge 15 minutes ago.

“What the fuck,” I whisper in disbelief.

JJ’s arm parallel to mine allows me to see his soulmark, as clear as day:

A needle, surrounded by the different markings of the cardinal directions, pointed directly at me in stagnant accusation.

I look up to meet JJ’s crystal blue eyes. He looks calm, at rest, until he sees my shock-consumed expression. His face barely morphs into something like confusion at best. My lips are parted slightly as a remnant of my surprise, but his face does not waver. Neither of us will to speak.

“Alright, we’ve got one ocean bree-” My head snaps to look at Rhoda. When I see her, her jaw is slack on the floor and her eyes are practically bulged out of her skull. She rapidly looks back and forth between my face, our paralleled wrists, and his face.

“Holy shit!” She squeaks nearly dropping the drink. JJ laughs in disbelief as he looks back down to our corresponding soulmarks,

“Fuck man.”

__________________________

A/n: while I love soulmate AU’s this is probably only going to be a 2 or 3 part series just cause I’m focusing my efforts toward YFNS primarily. However, I don’t see why this couldn’t develop into a full series once YFNS is no longer my primary fic. Who knows wtf will happen in the future?

[ennoit]

My headcanons for u off the top of my head:

-You like/wear a lot of purple, would probs look good in purple eyeshadow

-drama or the arts for afterschool

-idk why but u seem like u live in a bigger city (by this I mean like i live in a town of 2k ppl so like bigger than that, has like a walmart or something, bigger chain stores)

-appreciate the smaller things in life and collect cute things

-u have at least one plant but u want more

HOW ARE YOU SO FREAKIN ACCURATE?!? are you in my house?! but no i find that very funny pls do more cuz now i wanna know the secrets you know lol

ok but i love purple soooo much and i don't really wear it but i do love dark plum purple eyeshadow<i feel so badass

i actually never did any arts or drama like in high school (even tho i lowkey wanted to) but idk if ur counts but i do have junk/art journal that im very proud of

i do live in a big city and we do have a large mall and walmart and a downtown area and busy streets but i do like that i live in an area that is more rural than urban

i always appreciate the small things that no one really pays attention to and i am definitely a collector of trinkets and glass jars and perfume bottles and crystals

so i have one plant and a shared plant with one of my brothers but im the one that takes care of it and i really want soooo many plants (definitely more cacti)

[lavenderings]

armin and reader start talking after seeing each other in a library then have a cutsie little café date

this is so freakin cute :’) thank you for the request!!!

Coffee (Armin x Reader)

It was early morning, the rising sun casting golden rays across the rooftops. Today there was no training, which means you could finally have some time to yourself. It was chilly outside today, which meant Fall would probably be here soon. The Fall was your favorite season. The leaves turned vibrant shades of orange and yellow, the air turned cooler, and the sun set sooner. It also meant more days spent inside reading rather than outside training.

The truth is, you didn’t really want to be a Scout. You were only doing this because both of your parents were Scouts, and you knew how badly they had wanted you to follow in their footsteps. Since losing them both, you felt like you had to avenge them somehow. Becoming a Scout just felt like the right way to do that, even if it’s not what you had originally wanted to do. Personally, you preferred reading and studying, rather than training and fighting. Tales of vast lands outside the walls and undiscovered creatures interested you far more than killing Titans. But you had to do this, for your parents. You had to give something back to them, you couldn’t let their deaths mean nothing.

You threw on a sweater, grabbed your bag, and headed straight for the library. You were pretty much always there, the librarian and all of the regulars knew you on a first name basis. Well, maybe not all of the regulars. There was one boy that you always saw at the library, but had been to nervous to talk to. He was smaller, and had gorgeous blonde hair that fell into his eyes. You didn’t really get to look at his face a lot when he was here because it was always shoved deep into a book. However, at training, that was a different story. He was training to become a Scout as well, you would see him during training. There, you could get a better look at his face. He had the prettiest blue eyes you had ever seen. You felt kind of strange, admiring this boy all the time. You studied his features and his behaviors, but you still didn’t even know his name. You had never even talked to him.

As you walked into the library, you greeted the librarian at the front like always. You said hello to all of the regulars, all sitting in their usual spots. Also sitting in his usual spot was that boy. You felt your heart skip a beat, but you weren’t sure why. Were you really getting feelings for a boy you had never even met? You made your way to the table next to the one he was sitting at. His eyes briefly looked up from the page to glance at you as you walked over, then immediately went back to the book.

You sat down and pulled the book you had been reading out of your bag. As you started to read, you felt as if someone was watching you. You looked over to your right at the boy sitting at the table next to yours. You met eyes with him for a split second, before his cheeks flushed pink and he quickly picked his book up again. Had he been looking at you? Just the thought was enough to turn your cheeks hot as well. You flashed him a small grin before returning to your book. The words blurred on the page, and you weren’t retaining any of the information. All you could think about was the cute boy next to you.

You were brought out of your daze by the sound of the chair next to you moving. You snapped your head up to look at who had moved it. A pair of crystal blue eyes and a gentle smile is what you saw.

“Hey, is anyone s-sitting here?” He asked nervously. His cheeks were pink again, and he looked flustered.

You were flustered, too. You had never expected him to actually come and talk to you.

“No, you can sit here if you want,” You said, smiling back at him. You felt like your throat was full of sandpaper, and your words wouldn’t come out.

He took a seat, still smiling at you. Your heart felt as if it was going to jump right out of your chest. 

“I’ve seen you in here a lot but I don’t think I know your name. I’m Armin,” He said, extending his hand out to you. You reached for it, grasping it in yours and giving it a gentle shake. His skin was surprisingly soft for a boy.

“I’m y/n,” You said, smiling back at him.  “Y/n,” He repeated, “I like that name.” You felt your cheeks get warm at the sound of him complimenting you.

“Thank you,” You stammered.

“Would you... maybe...” He stuttered, rubbing his hand behind his neck, “Maybe like to grab a coffee sometime?” 

You paused, not really believing what you just heard. Was he asking you out? No way. His eyes widened, and his expression turned into one of concern.

“Only if you want to! If not it’s okay! I shouldn’t have asked!” He was stumbling on his words. You could tell he was incredibly nervous, and in a way it was cute. You giggled slightly, causing him to pause and look at you.

“Armin, I would love to,” You said, earning a red faced grin from the boy.
