"And I win, again!" Crystal explained proudly, as the puck landed inside the goal, solidifying the princess of as the victor. You groaned. "You have one every game, Crystal. Can't you give me a little break? Just one?" You pleaded, skating over to the stairs that led to the thrones and taking a seat.
Crystal laughed, and took her place in front of you, nudging your foot with her hockey stick. "C'mon, don't be a sore loser, [Name.]" She smiled. "I've played this game my entire life, I'm the Ice princess, I'm going to be good at ice hockey you know." The girl rolled her eyes playfully, before grabbing you by your arm and hoisting you back up.
"But, you're still my boyfriend, so I guess I could go a little easy on you.” Crystal led you both back out into the middle of the rink, placing the puck between you two. Her face a mix of determination and playfulness. “Beginners luck, right?” Crystal teases, getting into position, while you mutter beneath your breath. “Am I even a beginner after losing three games?” Crystal hears you. “We’ll see after this.”

Crystal and Misty x Butch!reader (she/her pronouns used)
No warnings
Summary: You got cast as the male lead and the domino effect happened.
Word Count: 2626
Your friends off of your soccer team had dared you to try out for the school musical. Little did they know, you did like musicals, but that doesn’t mean you wanted to be in one. You had walked into the school's theatre right on time. Your soccer bag was hanging off your shoulder, and you slipped it off, putting it on the floor. You look around the area, spotting an open chair and sitting down, kicking your feet up onto the chair in front of you. 
It was a little over five minutes before the teacher putting the show on came out. You had no clue who it was, but your guess was the drama teacher. You watch as the teacher sits down behind a table, pulling glasses up onto her nose, and tapping lightly on a microphone. 
You shift in your seat slightly, fixing your shirt, making sure it sits right on you. You hadn’t worn your binder today, so it was a little awkward for you right now. The shirt wasn’t tight thankfully, so you didn’t feel like you were being choked. 
A person had come around with different monologues. You didn’t get to pick which you wanted, you were just given one. 
Your eyes scanned the words, taking them all in. It was simple enough. Just two small paragraphs from a play that they did last year you think. You knew that this year it was a musical and not a play this year though. It played in your favour, for you because you could sing.
You watch as people are called up on stage to say their lines, thankfully you could still read off the paper just so you don’t forget what you were saying. 
It was dense, a lot of people. You had been there for over an hour before you were called up on stage. The lights were blinding and burning hot. It was a good feeling but boy did you hate it. You cleared your throat, walking in front of the microphone that was put on the stage. You take a deep breath before speaking into the microphone. Your voice only trembled for a second before you got it under control. 
Your voice was smooth, and calculated. You paused at the right moments, and exaggerated on time. Your face held good emotion throughout, not wiveraing once. You were doing amazing so far. You hardly looked down at your page once, your eyes looking out to the audience. 
You were on stage for only two minutes. You felt good about yourself as you went to sit back down on your chair. Yet after you had sat down is when your nerves started to act up, and you ran a hand through your hair. You hoped there were only a few more people to go, but you were so wrong. It was 4:30 by the time everyone was done. You were so tired.
You had a morning practice for soccer, and Jackie made everyone at lunch practice some more. It was bad. Usually you were fine with long games, but Jackie was bad with practices, especially with big games coming up. The practice at lunch wasn’t even started by your coaches, Jackie had just taken it upon herself to start another practice just in case. 
You missed the last bus that would take you home, and you would usually walk when that happened, but you could hardly feel your legs, and your knees were screaming in pain at this point. You really wished that your parents had let you take their car today but they needed it more, even if both were off. 
The sun was still up in the sky, beating down. You rub at your face as you start walking anyway. It wasn’t fun, but you were stopped halfway through the parking lot by a voice calling out your name. It was Misty… Great, just great, you thought you would only have to talk to her at soccer and no other time. You let out a sigh as you walk over to her. “Misty?” 
She nods and points to a car, “My mom gave me the car today, and I know practice had to have been really hard for you, so I thought it would only be fair to offer you a ride.” 
You rub at your forehead, wanting to say no, but knowing that you’d regret it. “... Had auditions for the school musical, and did great!” Misty had started talking again, but you only caught the last part and looked at her confused. 
You nod though, and before you knew it you were being pulled by your hand over to Misty’s car. You didn’t know she was that strong. Her girp was biting into your skin, but you let it pass, not wanting to upset her. You had seen how she gets when upset and it really concerned you, and you really did not want to get on her bad side. 
The back door of her car was opened and you got in. It felt stuffed, your knees felt like they were up to your chest as you pulled the seat belt over your chest. You could tell a person was sitting in the front seat already, but couldn’t make out who was until she started talking. 
“You did so well at auditions! I was amazed! No guy has anything on you!” The person said, and moved so her face was looking into the back seat at you, and you could make out it was Crystal. You smiled in thanks and nodded your head. 
“You did too. I saw you up there. It was amazing. It was like you were commanding the whole room. No one could take their eyes off of you,” your hands moved widely as you explained to Crystal about how you felt about her performance. 
The ride was okay after that. Misty dropped Crystal off first and you got to sit in the front seat. You and Misty had got to talking, and you figured out that as much as she was messed up she was still somewhat nice. You actually kind of started to like her. It was weird to you. 
By the time you had gotten home all you wanted to do was shower and then crash, which is what you did. You took a fifteen minute shower, got into old pyjamas, quickly dried your hair and got into bed. You were so happy you didn’t have homework tonight. Your head was blank, no thoughts in your head. You were peaceful and got more than enough sleep that night. More sleep than you had in a long time. 
The next day was horrid. Your body had adjusted to all the pain of soccer years ago but your legs still killed. You had woken up late, which was never a good sign for you. It meant that you were most certainly going to be late to school. 
You had skipped breakfast, grabbing just a granola bar. You had been able to brush your teeth and hair, along with getting changed before you started running. You couldn’t see the bus yet, which was good and by the time you got to your bus stop you could see it rounding the corner to pick you up, and you let out a sigh of relief. 
When you had walked through the doors of school, a bunch of the girls on the soccer team swarmed you. Throwing you into the middle of a group hug. You had just stood there confused as they continued to hug you. 
“What got you guys so happy?”
You weren’t given a real answer, but you were tugged through the hallways, to the theatre. There was no one crowding the doors where the call back list was posted. In big red letters, next to the name Aaron was your name. You were surprised, you were getting a call back for the lead male? You were left speechless. You couldn’t believe what you were looking at. You didn’t think you’d be considered for the male lead. 
The day after that was a whirlwind. You don’t remember anything other than you going to the call back. This time around you were reading actual lines from the musical. You once again felt like you did amazing. You stood up tall on the stage and read your lines with great power to your voice. You were also the only one in the room for call backs. 
It was a few days before the cast list was posted. It was going to be posted at the end of the day, so you were on the edge of your seat the whole time. You didn’t like it, you felt anxious. 
You had walked through the halls, a blank look on your face. It was like you were in a completely different state of mind than you normally were. The whole time you were moving your body. You couldn’t stay still. Your knee was bouncing when you were sitting down and you would fiddle with your hands whenever you were standing up.
The time had come and the list was posted. You waited till the halls cleared and walked to the theatre. Once it was in view you held your breath walking up to the doors. Your eyes scanned the list until you saw your name right next to Aaron. You got the lead. You wanted to cry but stopped yourself. You scanned the rest of the list, Crystal was Cady, you were really happy for her. 
The next week was everyone getting to know each other, or getting to know each other better. Along with looking deeper into who each character was. You enjoyed it. You got to write paragraphs on how Aaron acted and his wishes. You then also had a chemistry reading with the girl playing Regina and Crystal. Everything was going great. 
You loved the process, it was thrilling. You had also learned, after Misty said she’d drive you home in her mom’s car when you needed one. She told you she was stage manager, and also in charge of fashion. You didn’t know she liked fashion, seeing as she wasn’t too fashionable in your eyes. 
The next months leading up to the musical you, Crystal and Misty hung out a lot more. You had let Misty test out outfits on you for Aaron in the privacy of one of the three of your houses. She would also watch you and Crystal act out sense and pumped the two of you up. You actually really started liking her.
You found yourself wanting to be the two everyday. You had started going to school earlier, even if it meant walking. You’d hang out with the two before having to go to class.
One day when Misty was dropping you off, you leaned over the centre console and kissed her. You froze, looking over at her, “I’m so sorry,” you had fear in your eyes, and she just shrugged.
“It was nice. Thanks.” 
You look at Misty stunned. You didn’t know she’d be that chill with it. Yet you were embarrassed that you had just got out of the car and ran up to your house. And had cried somewhat in the hall once the door was closed. 
The next few days were hellish for you. It was Crystal who forced you to talk to Misty because she was getting annoyed that your little ‘fight’ was making it so you and Crystal weren’t doing good for practice anymore. It was different without Misty and she didn’t like it, and nor did you.
So you and Misty talked. It was long and hard but the two of you came out dating.
The two of you dating was amazing! But it wasn’t amazing when you and Crystal got to the part of the script where the two of you would have to kiss. You could tell that Misty didn’t like the idea, because whenever the part would happen she’d look away, but she still let you do it. 
Even if you were dating Misty now, you also had been finding yourself falling for Crystal. You didn’t mean to but it was hard. She was nice, funny, and so talented it was insane. 
You knew you had to bring it up to Misty. You had waited for the right time, and it came one night when the three of you were at Misty’s and Crystal was asleep. You and Misty were down in her kitchen, you were leaning against the kitchen counter as Misty made the two of you a drink. 
“Hey Misty… I think I like someone else? But at the same time I also really like you. And I don’t know what to do. I want to be with you but I also like this person and I really don’t know what to do at all and I’m really sca-” you got cut off by Misty wrapping her arms around your waist, and pulling you close to her. 
“Let me guess. It’s Crystal right? I mean you look at her like she hung the stars or something,” Misty murmurs out, looking up into your eyes.
“I do yeah. I’m really sorry, Misty. It’s hard not to like her. Just like how it was hard not to like you.” 
Misty laughs and shakes her head, a smile on her face, “I may not like it too much, but I must agree with you. She is hard not to like. I’ll be honest I’ve had a huge crush on her too, until I got with you that is. But seeing the two of you kiss kinda made my crush on her come back but in full force.”
“We’re both fucked, aren’t we?” You ask as you lean your head down on her shoulder, closing your eyes.
“What are you guys talking about?” You look over, your head still on Misty’s shoulder and make eye contact with Crystal. 
“My bad use of my binder?” You lie, but she gives you a look, like she knows you are lying, and Misty just shakes her head. 
“She’s pulling your leg. We’re talking about you” Misty piped up and you wanted to hit her on the arm, but didn’t because you were too comfortable in her arms. 
“Why?” 
You couldn’t look at Crystal anymore, you had turned your head back forwards. You could hear the two talk, but couldn’t focus on what they were saying because you were scared. You were even more scared when Misty let go of you and walked over to Crystal and you saw them kiss. You felt a little hurt but then Crystal and Misty came back over to you.
Crystal smiled at you, “So, we all like each other,” she had said, snapping you out of your daze, and all you can do is nod. 
“Then can I kiss you?” You looked at Crystal in aw, but find your voice and speak up.
“Yeah.”
And that’s just what she does. She kisses you. You feel like you're on cloud nine. In the spawn of two months you’ve kissed two pretty girls. 
The rest of the time from there on out, Misty, Crystal and you dated. It was amazing. What was more amazing was you were able to act alongside your girlfriend in a musical where you were her character's love interest. And Misty made sure the two of you had the best costumes.
Your last performance was magical because after that the three of you went out on a date, and had an amazing night. 
The three of you were so happy together. You were never more grateful for Mean Girls the musical before in your life.

Hellooo could you write crystal x fem!shapeshifter (could be associated with catking but it's not necessary!but she's mostly using a cat form yep yep) and she's been helping the team for a while and like niko sets them up for a date 😭😭 at some point reader like runs away during that (DISCREETLY 🏃) but she and crystal meet up on rooftop shortly after, so it will end all sweet and stuff 🤭🤭 thank you!!
a/n: i love this request! thank you for requesting and i hope you enjoy! also i really hope i wrote it the way you meant for me to write it, so please do let me know what you think! <3 pairing: Crystal x fem!shapeshifter!reader
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
since the whole ordeal happened with Edwin using a spell on a cat, and the cat king putting a bracelet on him, the cat king had sent you to stay with them to make sure they weren't plotting anything against him, much to the team's distaste.
though that distaste went away as soon as you turned out to actually be a big help!
since you could shape-shift into animals, though you mainly used your cat form, it was easy for you to go into small spaces, and follow people around without them suspecting.
you even got to help out saving Niko, and since she joined the team you two hit it off instantly!
she would always hang out around you, which is also what caused this all to happen.
see, you had grown... fond, of Crystal, and Niko being who she made it her mission to make sure you two got together.
there were multiple instances where you had to practically drag her away from Crystal before she let anything slip.
you didn't think it would be the right moment for you to confess to Crystal anyway, with David constantly trying to get into her head. now, you THOUGHT you were doing pretty well with keeping an eye on Niko and making sure she didn't do anything rash.
you thought wrong.
Niko had told you to go to the front of the butchershop, though she was awfully excited for you to do so, and she even told Charles and Edwin not to bother you.
against every instinct telling you there was something going on, you went, and you saw Crystal standing there, near a table with two plates, a candle in the middle, and rose petals on the floor.
the thing that caught you offguard and let you know it wasn't Crystal's idea though, was the fact that she looked just as confused as you were. "you are the one Niko set me up on a date with!?" she doesn't seem very happy about it, which instantly makes you panic.
you quickly walk out the front door, without saying another word, turn into a cat and practically run away.
Crystal tried to follow, but before long she already realized where you'd go: the roof of the library.
she discreetly walked into the library and took the 'personal only' stairs up to the roof, and as she expected, she saw you sitting there, in your cat form, on the edge of the roof as you looked out over the town. she quietly walks over to you, deciding to stand next to. "sorry for running away like that, it wasn't because of you..." you whisper as you shape-shift back to your human form, though you seem to refuse to look at her.
"it's just, i specifically kept dragging Niko out of any oppertunity to do something like this, i didn't want to put you on the spot and practically force you to go on a date with me, i mean, with David the demon that keeps trying to get into your head and with the cat-king practically being the only reason you decided to stay here with Charles and Edwin i didn't think it would be a good time" you ramble on a bit, failing to notice the soft smile on her face.
"you like me, don't you? i honestly almost started to think you liked Niko with how much you hang out with her, but then Charles made a comment about how you always act so much more soft and nearly gentle with me compared to the others" you looked at her with confusion and surprise, were you really being that obvious?
"right, so what your saying is i should see if Charles can really go through walls" you say in a slightly joking tone, obviously implying you'd throw him through one.
Crystal laughs though, and it makes your heart race.
you made her laugh.
and it's the prettiest laugh you've ever heard.
"hey, maybe, if you want, we could go back and actually have that date? now that everything's cleared up between us... i actually think it might be good for me to just let myself have a good time with someone in a more 'romantic' setting" Crystal offers her hand to you, and you take it with a nod.
both of you walk back into the butchershop, and you can see Niko quickly running back to her room with a smile, which made you roll your eyes playfully.
yeah, maybe having a date set up by Niko isn't so bad.

When you first Met Jimmy Crystal
Next
Tumblr media
(I don't own these images, they belong to their respective owners)
I know that I'm a bit late to the party, but last weekend while surfing Netflix, I came across this charming little movie. Given what I've seen about Jimmy Crystal and not hearing anyone saying this is a god-awful movie, I thought, "Why not" and put it on. It was alright and cute for what it was, yet my writer's brain decided to create an entire story with Jimmy Crystal and his ex-wife (You, the reader). I just had to get it down, given I don't see much Jimmy Crystal X Reader Crystal content. The reader insert in question is an Iberian Wolf, but you're free to imagine any other animal that comes to mind.😁 In this, I'm going more headcanon bullet point. Hope you enjoy it!
You were in a band you started with some close friends and fellow bohemians, known as "Taking Back Spring", indie soft pop rock with you as one of the lead singers and tambourine player.
While your legal name is Y/N L/N, you prefer your dream-vision name of Sunflower or Sunny for short. Because you feel Sunflower reflects your love and connection to mother nature. It's a name that also happened to make a neat stage name.
Jimmy Crystal wasn't the major business mogul he is now when you first met. In fact, he was a talent scout for another company with big ambitions. A job he was doing when he first saw you and your band at a music festival. Up until your band's act, Jimmy was just about ready to leave, finding the rest of the festival's bands to be mediocre and unoriginal. Yet, when you took to the stage with a tambourine in hand and started to croon out the first few notes, followed by your band upping the tempo and you doing the same as an explosion of flower petals and environmentally friendly glitter, Jimmy Crystal was compelled to stay and watch the rest of your performance.
To this day, he's glad he did stay in his seat. Jimmy found that while Taking Back Spring creatively used different instruments and sounds to make a memorable upbeat melody, you were the showstopper. He couldn't quite take his eyes off you danced across the stage, not quite a performance as you do what comes naturally from the music. The one with an infectious energy and charismatic charm that got both the band and the crowd even more pumped up.
He knew he had to tell his boss about you and your band.
After your band’s set, you and the entire group went back to the Winnebago all of you were traveling in to celebrate another successful performance. At that time, all of you started a campfire, started making s’mores broke out the cooler of drinks, started singing and harmonizing just for the pleasure of it.
That’s when you met him. A young, confident and (dare you say) handsome arctic wolf in a crisp shirt and vest, with a lollipop in one hand to occasionally lick at. He introduced himself as Mr. Crystal, a scouting agent for a prominent talent agency. An agency he believes that your band may have a shot at, complimenting on how entertaining and well put together it was as a spectacle. When he mentioned you and your fellow lead singer’s performance in particular, he would glance towards you with a suave smile on his lips; leaving you to glance away quickly when your gazes meet.
You could feel your cheeks heat up and your tail start to wag for whatever reason. While you may or may not immediately recognize what’s gotten into you, the rest of your band give each other knowing smiles and looks between you and Mr. Crystal
Initially, when Mr. Crystal offered for your band to audition for his boss, assuring all of you may have a good chance; you and half of your band members were hesitant to possibly work for an agency, an corporation. You didn't want to have most of your band's artistic integrity or freedom taken and molded into something it isn't for the sole purpose of profit.
However, it's thanks to your fellow lead singer/guitarist that you changed your vote to take the audition opportunity. Your fellow band member pointed out how winning the audition could really help elevate your shows to new heights, making them truly spectacles beyond their wildest dreams. That and he may or may not had have some help with Jimmy Crystal's magnetic aura in persuading you.
"I look forward to working with you, really. I love to see you and your band more often, cause you're on to something big here, big!" Jimmy told you before departing from your camp with a sly wink in your direction. Your bandmates would not let you live down how your tail started wagging like crazy when Mr. Crystal left.
It wouldn't be the last time you saw him at the festival, as Jimmy Crystal stuck around for a while afterward, to watch a few more of your band's shows. Just to make sure you have what it takes, he claimed.
Before he left, Jimmy went to see you one last time with the excuse of returning your headband, which flew off you during a performance. You thanked him, physically holding back your tail from wagging up a storm again. He gave you a smile and chuckled in amusement at your embarrassment, calling it cute. Wanting to change the subject, you offered to exchange numbers with Jimmy.
"For professional reasons of course! I-in case you have any more business to discuss..."
You quickly affirmed, maybe a bit too fast. Jimmy just continued to smile at you and agreed to your offer, giving his personal number.
You had a feeling, as you watched Jimmy drive off to his next scouting job, you were going to go far with him. In what way, only the stars you looked to would know.
Tumblr media
This, however, is MY art. A concept I had of the reader insert during their early music career.

thinking about a spider-man au with childe
you’ve had a crush on ajax basically since the first day of college. he’s funny and witty, surprisingly smart for his jock aesthetic and -let’s face it- very hot. all of which is contrasted by the way he fumbles through a conversation with you, an air of clumsy yet innocent charm about him.
and then you’re walking home late at night. an arguably questionable decision that ends with you coming face to face with a criminal you’ve seen on tv before. but just as you’re contemplating your options, your heart leaping out of your chest, you’re being swooped up and into the strong chest of the uprising hero people have been whispering about in the hallways.
all of a sudden, high above the city skyline, your heart is pounding for a whole other reason as the guy tries calming you down. he sets you down not far from your apartment and you thank him profusely, to which he merely assures you not to worry about it.
as you fall into bed that night, you can’t stop thinking about the way his muscles moved beneath you, how melodic and familiar his voice was. when you try to imagine what he looks like underneath the mask, somehow blue eyes and ginger hair come to mind but you shake it off as your brain conflating your college and celebrity crush.
meanwhile, ajax is sitting on the edge of a building, dragging a hand down his face as he tries to regulate his heartbeat. going over his conversation with you again, he mentally kicks himself for basically anything and everything he said. seriously, would he ever not fumble while talking to you?

Relief (Blade x gn!reader)
@genshin-obsessed so I heard u like Blade 👀
Summary: After being cursed with immortality by the Abundance, you joined the Stellaron Hunters as a doctor. Today, your most stubborn patient finally comes to you for help. Words: 835 Warnings: reader is implied to be shorter than Blade & can be held in his lap (but our Bladie is a strong boy so he can hold anybody uwu)
You muttered to yourself as you walked around your office, organizing your medicines and checking equipment. As the only doctor in service of the Stellaron Hunters, it was important for you to keep everything in tip-top shape in case of emergencies. Although Elio usually told you in advance if a mission would be particularly bloody, there was always the possibility he would withhold one of his predictions. You couldn’t get complacent.
Despite your regular interactions with the other Stellaron Hunters, you felt you couldn't truly connect with any of your “teammates”: Kafka was always inscrutable, Silver Wolf seemed to treat reality like a game, and Blade… Blade was the only one who you thought could understand you. You had both been cursed by the Abundance in your own ways, after all. But after he ignored your attempts at friendship for so long, you had resigned yourself to an eternity of loneliness in your empty office.
You were snapped out of your thoughts by a knock on your door. You paused for a moment. Neither Kafka nor Silver Wolf were due for an appointment, leaving only one other person…
You opened the door to see Blade standing with his arms crossed. His expression betrayed nothing of what he felt, but you could see a tension in his shoulders. He didn’t speak as you blinked up at him in surprise.
“Blade. Come in,” you said, stepping aside to let him enter.
Blade went to sit down in his usual spot, and you quickly busied yourself gathering the necessary materials to make the painkiller you devised specifically for his condition. You couldn’t mix the medicine in advance, as its effectiveness faded quickly with time, so you always kept the raw ingredients on hand.
You glanced over your shoulder at Blade. Your gaze flicked over his body as you observed him. To the untrained eye, Blade seemed fine as ever, if a little irritated, but you knew how to read him after having treated him for so long. You could tell he was holding back more pain than usual. The fact that he was here of his own volition told you all that you needed to know.
You took a breath, then walked over to him. The medicine you made would work in time, but you could provide him with a more immediate source of relief. Gently, you reached out and pressed a hand to his chest.
He stiffened at the contact but didn't push you away. You closed your eyes and poured your energy into him, letting it wash over him and dull his pain. You focused until you felt Blade’s breathing grow more even and his muscles relax.
You felt lightheaded as you pulled back. The process had taken much longer than you anticipated and had cost much more of your energy as well.
You tried to step away toward the counter, not wanting to linger too long in Blade’s personal space, but a wave of dizziness hit you and you stumbled. Before you could hit the floor, Blade caught you in his arms.
“What did you do?” he asked, panic bleeding into his voice.
You knew you would recover in time—the Abundance’s curse would not let you go so easily—but the pain was still nearly unbearable. Your breathing was shallow and your vision blurry. Blade adjusted his grip on you and pulled you into his lap. His arms shook slightly as he held you.
“I’m sorry… I just wanted to help…” Your voice was weak and shaky as you spoke. “It… it'll pass… I'll be okay…”
Though you said this, you were still on the verge of tears. You were not like Blade—you hadn’t spent an eternity in combat and had yet to become numb to the pain of pushing your body to the limit. What he bore with a straight face was agony for you. You tried to hold back a whimper.
Blade tightened his grip around you.
“Why?” he asked.
“I… just wanted to give you some relief…” you said. You pinched your eyes shut to try to block out the pain. “Did… did it work, at least?”
Blade was silent for a while. Then, he pulled you closer, letting your head rest against his chest as his breath fanned over your face. 
“…Yes,” he said. “Don’t do it again.”
“…Sorry…” You breathed out, letting your eyes fall shut. After what you had done, you were completely exhausted, and Blade's embrace was so warm… You fell asleep to the steady rhythm of his heart, for once free of worries as Blade held you close.
The next day, Kafka would enter your office only to see Blade glaring at her to stay silent. You were still slumbering in his arms. He had stayed in that same position all night, not caring about the fatigue in his muscles nor the ache that came with it. Kafka smiled knowingly, holding back her teasing words—if only for now—as she closed the door, leaving Blade alone with you.

Can you do oni!Lloyd x half-Dragon!fem!reader. Like Lloyd has always insecure getting into his oni form. So reader who already use to her dragon form, comfort him and say that she always love him no matter what form he is. Also bonus if you can do like how their tail (i think Lloyd has tail in his oni form??) wrap around each other and make a love shape.
Aodbksna im going crazy
"SCARY? MY GOD, YOUR DIVINE..." ── ninjago x reader. ft lloyd garmadon ⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
warnings: lowercase writing, pretty rushed
basic info: takes place after crystallized, lloyd x reader, female reader, ft. garmadon, romantic x reader, n/n means your nickname!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
you knocked on the door to lloyd's room softly, thinking because it was already so quiet in there he could hear it. it's been hours, no, days, since you've seen lloyd come out of his room.
when he does come out, it's only to use the washroom or to grab a snack in the middle of the night when no one is around to see him.
after the defeat of the overlord, harumi, and all of the other villains── lloyd has stayed in his oni form. he hasn't learned how to transform back to his human form, so everyone has kinda been waiting to see how long it will take naturally...much to lloyds discomfort.
you went to garmadon about lloyd's state, and even he was starting to worry. he knew from the start helping lloyd achieve his oni power would be tricky and lloyd would be stubborn. however i don't think he thought this far ahead.
"your his, girlfriend, aren't you dragon girl?"
the oni asked you, who was watering his plants in one of the rooms of the newly built monestary.
you glared at the man, the nickname is gave you caused you to cringe but you kept your cool. your tail swinging back n forth from behind.
"yea. why do you think i'm coming to you for help?" you placed your hands on your hips, "he hasn't come out of his room, i haven't seen him eat or drink any water, he hasn't spoken to anyone since his changed. i don't know much about the oni form; but even you guys still need to eat...right?"
garmadon just sighed, finishing watering his plants. "oni indeed are powerful beings, although everyone needs food to live a healthy life."
you gave the oni a "so??" look and he sighed again.
"oni kids enjoy cuddling. they like to feel the warmth of they're loved one; gives them comfort knowing someone is there for them. i believe your perfect for to give that to him."
you thought for a moment.
"i want to, that's all i want to do is let him know i'm there for him! he's been cooped up in his room, crying and it breaks my heart-."
"then why are you still here talking to me?"
you looked at your father-in-law and had a frown on your face.
thats what lead you here to where you are now.
you called out your boyfriends name after knocking a few times, hoping he would open up. "i made you you're favorite?" you smiled to yourself sheepishly, not knowing what else to do in this awkward silence.
when you got no response you sighed, "c'mon baby, i haven't seen you eat in days, let alone you in general! i'm worried, your uncle's worried, our friends are worried for you!"
you frowned softly, hearing the words come out of your mouth.
"i miss you..."
as you were about to put the plate on the floor by his door, the sound of it creaking open causes you to look up to see a blonde, 6'0 tall oni boy look back at you. his ears drooped down, his eyes res and puffy, his long thick tail fell to the floor a d drag behind him as he stumbled back into the bed.
you stood back up and walked into the room. it was dark, and cold. the window been open to let out dirty smells and bring fresh air in to block out of the smell of dirty laundry, which was all in one pile in the corner of his room.
you had a small frown in your face as you placed the food on his nightstand, sitting in the end of his bed by his feet. lloyd was cuddled in on himself, hiding his body from you and on the opposite side of the bed.
it was quiet for a moment before he spoke up, "i'm ugly, aren't i?" it was almost a whisper, his grouchy voice from crying and his oni form made it harder for you to hear, another insecurity he has.
you frowned and scooted closer to him and place your hand on his knee, looking at him with a sad smile. "lloyd, your beautiful. nothing about you has changed, your still lloyd, my boyfriend!" you laughed, rubbing his knee back n forth in a comfort motion.
it was quiet once more, until lloyd spoke up again, "how do you do it?"
you raised your eyebrow at him, "do what?"
"how do you walk around in your dragon form, aren't you scared people will judge you? be scared of you?"
tears started to form in his eyes as he ranted. you felt your heart shatter into two pieces hearing his sobs, "i never wanted this, i didn't want this!!"
he shouts ans cries, huddling into his arms the best he could. however soon he felt your arms wrap around his, your large dragon body holding him tight.
"i know, lloyd, none of us knew you were going to have to achieve your oni form; to be honest i was hoping you were...me n you have more in common now. and...you look 10x hotter then before, i say that's a bright side."
you gave him a goofy grin, hearing his laughter soon later caused you to open your eyes and look at him.
there's that smile you've missed.
you quickly leaned in and gave him a peck on the lips, to which he took by surprise. "your lips are still soft." you chuckled. as you were distracted, you suddenly felt something wrap around your tail...looking down at your legs you saw lloyd's oni tail wrap with your dragon one.
you blushed slightly before looking back up at him, who had a blush redder then yours. he pulls you into his chest and holds you, his face in your hair.
"thank you, n/n...i love you..." he whispered softly.
you smiled, happily snuggling into your boyfriend more comfortably.
"i love'ya too, mints."

YANDERE CHOI FAMILY HEADCANONS
Tumblr media
I seriously pray for you if you're related to Charles or Crystal in some way, your privacy is immediately thrown out of the damn window and you won't ever have a moment to yourself since you'll always have your sister Crystal looking out for you and Charles would make sure Gun, Goo and DG keep an eye out for you too. He'd even ask Kouji to place a tracking device in your phone and ensure he always has access to whatever you're doing on your phone, he's a concerned parent after all and he doesn't trust this toxic world filled with darkness that could corrupt you and put you in danger. Look, he might be a complete scumbag and takes the pleasure of ruining people's lives but you're the apple of his eye and he'll do anything to ensure your safety
Let's start off with Charles Choi as a parental figure for you. He'll be controlling, manipulative and won't be above gaslighting you to spend time with him. He's a businessman after all, he's Elite, when he wants something he gets it no matter what and you're no exception for it. He NEEDS to know what you're doing at every second of the day, he doesn't care how old you are, you could be a literal adult and yet he'd still treat you like a child and infantize you. He's overbearing with his protectiveness for you, you almost feel suffocated in his presence. But you won't even realize he's secretly gaslighting you and making sure you're isolated from other people other than him and your sister and the people that he really trusts, he's really crafty and subtle about this. It's for your own good, he keeps telling himself as he threatens and blackmails one of your so called friends to leave you the hell alone unless they want to end up on the news the next day dead. He doesn't care if he's overbearing for you, he has every RIGHT to be overbearing, truthfully, he doesn't even realize what he's doing is wrong. He firmly believes that he has every right to do this since you're his child after all and he's your guardian and parental figure
He likes it when you rely on him for things, deep down he's slightly worried and nervous you'll grow up too fast and leave him and your sister behind and you won't need him anymore. He can't stand and fathom the thought of you being away from him, his paranoia for your safety and fear of losing you would act in an overdrive. Charles Choi has only one weakness and that's you, the dear apple of his eye. He sees you as some defenseless vulnerable innocent little thing that would get chewed up by the world within mere seconds and he'd be damned if someone dared to take advantage of you. It doesn't matter even if you know how to fight or how well aware you are of everything happening around you, he'll still pat your head in a patronizing manner like you're some kind of child and have a slight amused smirk while you're ranting to him. Silly naive child, you NEED him to take care of you
You won't be allowed to live a normal lifestyle, you'll have private tutors to teach you and the day he'll allow you attend a public school or university would be the day HELL would FREEZE over. He knows what sort of nonsense takes place in schools and universities these days with all those cases of rampant bullying and such. He doesn't want you falling into the hands of some lowly thug with no decorum. Of course, he'd have him killed that same night but still, he isn't going to take the risk and chance of having you get hurt. Your safety matters more than your happiness, you could plead with him as much as you want regarding you wanting to go to a public school to have a normal life and he'd just outright refuse you each and every single time, it's like you're talking to a brick wall with him. By no means is he an emotional man, he has no time for such frivolous nonsense but it just doesn't sit right with him when he imagines you getting hurt and getting scars as thoughts of the worst would flash his mind when he thinks of your life at a public school which would make him even more strict about your safety. He never wants to see the day you cry, it would just...pain him emotionally. If you're crying because of him, it was probably because of something unavoidable and he'll gently shush you and wipe your tears away as he pats your head. However if you're crying because of someone else, well...that person would disappear off the face of the earth, he goes straight for the kill. He's a man of his word and always gets straight to the point without beating around the bush, so one single shot to the head to end whatever lousy scumbag who dared to make your tears spill from your eyes would guarantee him to be dead. Surprisingly he won't let anyone else do his dirty work for him whenever he has to kill someone for messing with you, he needs to feel the satisfaction of watching the light of the world and the life leave the person's eyes as he kills them. Of course, he'll cover the death up by making it look like there was some kind of gang violence going on and blame one of his chess pawns and pay off the police department to keep their mouths shut unless they want to lose their jobs and get blacklisted from every company existing
He loves to spoil you till your heart desires. Ask him whatever you want, except for your privacy and freedom and he'd be more than happy to indulge his expenses for you. You like reading and publishing books? Well, look who managed to get a publishing contract from one of the most famous publishing companies in the country? But of course, you're not allowed to publish anything questionable like romance and such, he thinks you're way too naive for such things and you're young for it. You're also not allowed to use your real name. You're also expected to show him your works before you end up publishing something and of course, you won't need to feel the pressure of the publishers and editors pestering you constantly for new works, you can write at your own leisure. Not unless they want their company to shut down and be on the streets for the rest of their miserable lives. He'll never entertain the idea and thought of someone every daring to dictate your life. Other than him of course, he has that right thanks to his twisted mindset of keeping you safe. You like singing and music? He'll get you the best brands of instruments money can buy and a whole karaoke system for you. He'd love to hear you sing and would have a smile on his face, telling you how proud he is of you for your wonderful and melodious singing, he thinks you sing as sweet as a nightingale. Well, in a way you are a nightingale trapped in a golden cage. If you're into art he'll get you the best quality of brushes and you'll have an unlimited amount of canvases and art supplies for your use. You'll have an entire art studio at the house for yourself and he'll be pleased when you hand him a painting or one of your art works. He would definitely store all your works in a secret room to ensure they don't get ruined and where he'll have access too since other people don't deserve to see your talent, they're undeserving pests who don't have the right to look at you in the eye
You won't ever get wind of what he does behind the scenes regarding the crews and gangs and how he rose to power and such and he'll do whatever the hell it takes to prevent you from finding out the truth about him. You'll be left in the dak regarding all the evil messed up things he does and unless someone wants to lose their tongue, they'd better keep their mouths shut. Also there's no reason for you to work, whatever do you want to work for, don't be silly. However if you really want to work, he make you join his company and you can have your own office just for the sake of it but no actual responsibilities. If you think of applying for jobs elsewhere, he'll pull in some strings to ensure you don't end up getting the job. He doesn't care that he's sabotaging your chances of getting a job, you aren't allowed to be away from him, away from your family, end of discussion
While Charles would handle the killings and brutal stuff, your sister Crystal handles the planning and goes for a more calculated approach from behind the scenes. If you have the habit of maintaining a diary, guess who knows all your secrets now and you've also just sentenced half the people in your diary to death. Look, she loves you and cares for you, in her own twisted manner after all, she inherited her father's possessiveness and obsessive tendencies to protect you after all. Like her dad, she views you as someone who's pure for this world and she wants to keep you sheltered in a safe bubble by whatever means necessary. She might love you but the minute you're up to something she will immediately snitch on you to Charles. Don't ever expect her to take your side though during an argument regarding your feelings of being trapped and such, she'll always side with her dad no matter what and thinks he's doing the right thing by shielding you from the world outside. You'll understand in due time how much they love you
If someone picks on you, she'll find a way to ruin their life socially by spreading allegations and such against that person and ensure their name gets dragged down in the mud. Which honestly isn't a hard thing to do for her. She is borderline insane and crazy, she just masks it like her dad, she'll be breathing down your neck every damn second of the day and she'll always have her eye on whatever you do. She'll have Gun and Goo follow you everywhere and she'll tag along as well. You're not allowed to go anywhere without her. She'll also be able to detect whenever you're lying, her eyes will narrow instantly and stare at you with a stern look on her face like a strict parent till she finds out whatever your intentions are and if they're something she and her dad won't approve of they're shutting it down immediately before that thought of yours can grow into something bigger. Even she has access to your laptop and phone, although the only contacts you're ever allowed to have are your dad, her, Gun, Goo, Kouji and DG, that's IT. Don't even THINK about dating, romance is off the table for you
You might not know about the secret of her two bodies, she prefers to keep it that way and her dad told her to let it remain a secret as well, it'll make it easier for her to be with you at all times. She's experienced a lot of bullying from people because of her weight and thinks society is shallow for prioritizing people's looks and appearances which is why she doesn't want you suffering the same way she did and she'll tell you things that'll give you a negative view of romance. She just doesn't want you getting hurt like she did, she's a protective big sister trying to keep you safe. She won't like it if you hang around Daniel too much, he's always getting in some or the other kind of trouble and the last thing she needs is for you to end up being dragged into his messes and the whole crew nonsense so she'll ensure you maintain a distance from him till she sneakily isolates you from him completely. Don't feel bad, you have her to rely on, your sister is always there to lend a shoulder for supporting you. Overall, Charles and Crystal are borderline insane, psychotic and won't hesitate to wipe out anyone who stands against them or tries to take you away from them. You're the apple of their eye after all...

MASTERLIST, TAG LIST
Tumblr media
It had been a hundred years.
A century had gone by since you died. And still you had not managed to finish your business in order to move on to the afterlife. How could you? When your older brother had mysteriously gone missing from his boarding school, simply presumed dead, and labeled as ‘an act of God’ and nothing else had happened. No one made inquiries. No one bothered to try to do him justice.
No one cared.
And it infuriated you. So much to the point of taking up the quest of finding him yourself. But no one knew anything, nor cared to tell you anything, so you were unable to find anything worthy of interest. Edwin simply did not matter to anyone besides you—even your parents were frustratingly unhelpful. It broke your heart. You didn’t want to live in a world that didn’t care about its people. Luckily, you didn’t have to for long.
It happened a year after you graduated from high school, making you three years older than the age Edwin  had been when he disappeared. As soon as you’d completed school you had gotten out of your conservative town, opting to travel to London instead to settle down there. The aftermath of the war had just calmed down and you thought you could get a new start. You hadn’t entirely left the business of Edwin behind you, but knowing there was nothing more you could do for him settled your guilt slightly.
When you had finally started getting used to the idea of Edwin actually being gone and of the possibility of moving on with your life, you died. A simple case of wrong place, wrong time in a robbery. And you reckoned some part of you weren’t completely ready to let go of Edwin because you had woken up again, as a ghost.
It was strange at first, feeling nothing but still being there, invisible to everyone but yourself. And it hadn’t hurt much—you had died immediately.
What should have been a tragedy left you feeling nothing but relief. You were finally free from the world’s boundaries and rules and the idiotic people that wouldn’t help your brother. Then being able to travel anywhere you wanted, speak to other dead people, and uncover all the supernatural entities that had been hiding under your nose your whole living life was more than you could have wished for. Was it possible Edwin could also be somewhere? Wandering around as a ghost, the same as you?
The thought was too good to even hope to be true. As it turns out, it was.
You visited all the places Edwin had been or he had talked about going to or anywhere you could have imagined his ghost to have gone. But there were no signs of him—at least no signs that you could find. No one had any information about your brother. It almost left you feeling like how you had when you were alive. Your world had gone from the bright colours of hope back to the dull monochromaticity that your life had been.
For years you had wandered the planet, going from country to country, adapting to the changing years and humanity’s new technology. It interested you to figure out the new things that were invented and to keep up with the modern world—not to talk about all the different ghosts, people, and other supernatural beings you met. While it was nice to travel around without a clear goal, your mind was constantly stuck on the thought of your brother being alone somewhere.
You needn’t have worried though, you realised, when you had found yourself in the small town of Port Townshend, walking down the street and seeing a very familiar face. Right across the road, a figure clad in a brown coat was walking with an all too rigid posture and pursing his lips at the teenagers surrounding him. You were too stunned to speak, your tongue felt as if it were locked, unable to voice any of the jumble of thoughts currently bouncing through your mind.
“Edwin?” you croaked, voice strained as it fought against the constricting of your throat. You hurriedly ran to cross the road, narrowly missing a car. It wouldn’t have hurt, but habits die hard—even if it had been a hundred years since you were alive. And so you let out a loud curse, swivelling out of its path, “Oh, bloody hell!”
When you turned to continue to the other side of the street you already found a familiar pair of eyes locked onto yours. Edwin had stopped completely in his path and with his mouth agape, arms hanging by his side. You couldn’t fight the grin that made its way to your face and broke out in a run, crashing into his frame with a hug.
“Wha—” he stumbled, before embracing you back and nestling his face into your shoulder.
It felt as if he would never let you go by the grip he had on you—and you couldn’t blame him. It had been way too long since you had hugged him like this and you couldn’t help the relieved chuckle that escaped you. It also felt weird hugging another ghost—it was like he was there and he wasn’t, but you could feel his presence in a way you couldn’t when you touched the living.
“It’s you,” you whispered, pulling away to grab him by the shoulders and really take him in. “It’s really you.”
Edwin looked just like you had remembered him to have looked when he disappeared. The same eyes, with which he always sent glares your way, and the same smile he hid in the corner of his lips by turning away from you, although it shone through at you then as a grin. He couldn’t help it, and neither could you.
“I—I never thought I would see you again,” he said.
You scoffed. “As if you could get rid of me that easily.” Then your eyes softened. “Though you scared me half to death.”
“More than half, it would seem,” he said, looking you up and down. “What are you still doing here?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” you asked, a smile on your lips despite your soft tone. “You were my unfinished business.”
You went in for another hug with a chuckle, holding him even tighter as if he would disappear if you didn’t. All that worrying, all that searching, all that trouble you had gone through to find your brother and it was all finally worth it. The thought made you almost want to cry—almost. You pulled away then for real, letting the both of you go back to your regular composure as a relaxed grin settled against your lips and Edwin’s went back to hiding in the corner of his lips.
That was when you noticed the questioning stares from his three friends. They were all glancing back and forth between you in clear confusion. 
“Sorry, did everyone just see what I saw?” questioned the dark-haired girl with a frown, gesturing between the two of you. “Who are you?”
You smiled at her. “Forgive me for being rude. I forgot myself for a second,” you said with a glance at Edwin. “I’m y/n, Edwin’s sibling.”
The three of them stared in astonishment upon hearing the words uttered, again looking between you two.
“I see the resemblance now that you mention it,” said the tall boy.
You shot him a playful smile. “I’m clearly the better sibling, though.”
“As if,” scoffed Edwin and tugged at his cuff. “At least I am older.”
You raised an eyebrow and pursed your lips. “Don’t know if that is actually true, anymore. I was alive longer than you were.”
“What? No.” He looked affronted at your words. “My birth was before yours and I am thus older than you.”
The boy next to him cleared his throat with a pointed glance. Edwin resumed to his usual composure, a curtain falling over his features as his bickering spirit died out. You let out a snicker, glancing between the four of them.
“You gonna introduce me to your handsome friends, Edwin?” you asked with a grin, eyeing the tall boy specifically.
Edwin glared at you. “Don’t,” he spit out, warning lacing through his tone. When you held up your hands in surrender he turned to his friends, gesturing to them all in turn with their names. “Y/n, this is Charles, Niko and Crystal.”
“Nice to meet you,” Niko’s soft voice said, hopping forward to give you a hug.
It caught you slightly off guard, but it was welcomed even though you couldn’t feel it as well as you could feel Edwin’s ghost hug. Crystal gave you a hesitant hand to shake and you took it enthusiastically with a smile. She smiled then, apparently less apprehensive. Charles also thrust out a hand along with a charming smirk.
“Any sibling of Edwin must be brills,” he said. “Also a ghost, by the way.”
You took his hand with an appreciative nod. “Did you hear that, Edwin? I’m brills,” you said and looked over your shoulder.
By doing so, you didn’t miss the soft gaze Edwin was looking at Charles with and nodded to yourself, smiling coyly. While you had learnt to adapt to the modern times, and even back then had always been quite open about yourself, Edwin was a shyer and more private person. You would let him work it out by himself.
“You know, I missed your miserable face,” you remarked, turning to nudge him with your elbow. “I also think we have a lot to catch up on, Edwin.” 
“I would say that is quite correct. We will take care of that, later,” he nodded in his stilted way. Weird as it was, you had missed his gestures.
When the four of them turned to keep walking, Niko suddenly let out a loud gasp. “There’s Monty, our new friend,” she exclaimed.
You turned to look where she was gesturing and saw a very handsome boy looking up when hearing his name. He smiled easily at the five of you and stood up from the bench he had been sitting on with a few books in hand. The boy, Monty, let out what sounded like a nervous chuckle while glancing between the group, definitely noting the closeness between you and Edwin.
“Hey. Wow, quite the crew you got here.”
“So, he’s alive and he can see the boys?” asked Crystal.
“Oh, he can definitely see Edwin,” replied Niko. You saw Monty smile at Edwin and turned to your brother with a questioning glance. He only shrugged.
When you turned back, you found Monty was already staring at you. His eyes were dark and thoughtful, jumping from your face to your clothes and your boots and your frame and your hair and your smirk—which spread even wider. His mouth opened in a silent gasp as he took in the sight of you. You could feel your lifeless cheeks warm with blood—if they could do that—and let your gaze skirt away nervously.
“Oh, hi, I, uh, don’t believe I have seen you before.” Monty smiled sheepishly at you and his voice was warm and sweet. “I feel, uh, like I would have remembered a face like yours.”
His face got redder the longer he talked and the more he tripped over his words. It was weirdly endearing and you smiled at him as his gaze jumped between you and Edwin.
“Edwin’s my brother,” you said. “I’m y/n. Also a ghost.”
“Charmed.” Monty’s grin grew wider. “I suppose good looks run in the family.”
You saw Edwin shift uneasily out of the corner of your eye and smiled at him. Monty’s unashamedly flirting was clearly not something Edwin was entirely ready for yet, but it only made the whole thing more amusing. And you couldn’t ignore the playful smirk Monty was giving you nor the glint in his eye.
“And I’m Charles. Nice to meet you, mate,” interrupted the other ghost, his own charming smile fixed on his lips, and extended a hand for Monty to take. “Any pal of Edwin’s is aces in my book.”
Monty’s lips pursed. “Yeah, sorry, hands are full,” he said, his voice suddenly cold and stand-offish.
He moved past you, closer to Edwin, but you didn’t miss the way his gaze lingered on you. You smiled to yourself as you turned to the other three, looking back at Monty.
“I was polite, wasn’t I?” asked Charles. His voice sounded much smaller, almost insecure.
“Yeah, you did good,” replied Crystal and patted him reassuringly on the shoulder.
You crossed your arms over your chest and leant closer to him. “Don’t take it personal just ‘cause you aren’t pretty enough to earn Monty’s kindness.”
Charles turned to you, affronted, and glared at your cheeky smile. “Oi, hurtful. I’m very pretty, I’ll have you know.”
“Yeah, yeah,” you said, glancing up at him. “And don’t you worry, Edwin knows it too.”
His brows furrowed. “What do you mean?”
You only shrugged, glancing back at your brother and Monty. You saw Edwin take the book from him, completely oblivious to the way his gaze was fixed on him, and Niko was unashamedly listening in on their conversation. You took the opportunity to study Monty’s feature’s more carefully, gazing at the ways his lips lifted ever so slightly, and how his eyes suddenly jumped to yours. Immediately, you looked away in shame at being caught staring at him and you were sure to be blushing if you were still capable of it. When you dared look back at him his eyes were yet again on Edwin, but his smirk a bit wider.
“Hey.” You looked to Charles again, nudging him in the side. “If Edwin doesn’t know, though, at least I do.”
Out of the corner of your eye, you noticed his grin widen as his eyes fixed on you. That was when Edwin glanced past Monty, meeting your eye briefly before flickering over to Charles. You noticed him hesitate in his reply to Monty and furrowed your brows. It wasn’t like your brother to be careful about his words. Crystal seemed to know what he was thinking as she suddenly brought her hands together.
“Ah, well,” she began, sighing with what sounded like very bad conviction, ”Axe-murder, suicide Groundhog Day drained me, so, uh… I’m gonna head up.”
You shot her a questioning glance but decided against asking her about it. Whatever Edwin and his group had been up to you had more than enough time to figure out. Now that you had found him, there was no chance you were letting him go.
Niko nodded at Crystal’s words, still caught up with whatever Edwin and Monty were speaking about. “Okay, I’ll be up soon,” she said.
Crystal sighed and went over to the other girl, taking ahold of her arm and dragging her away from the boys. You shot a questioning glance at Edwin, but he just nodded for you to go without him. Briefly, you met Monty’s gaze as well and were almost pinned to the spot by his smile before he turned back to your brother. You swallowed and made to walk away when you noticed Charles was still stuck to the same spot, his gaze pinned to Edwin.
“Come on, mate, let’s go.”
He scoffed but let himself be guided away to follow the other two. You heard the traces of Edwin and Monty’s conversation follow behind you, their voices floating through the air. Monty’s was melodic and it made you sigh at the sound of it.
“He’s very cute, isn’t he?” you asked Charles, nudging his side with your elbow.
“Yeah,” he nodded, glancing over his shoulder.
You weren’t sure you were talking about the same person.

Could you do a Dead Boy Detectives Cat King x reader Payne, Edwin’s sibling who is a ghost after a freak accident and helps them out. They always put the boys needs above their own. After the first Cat King meeting they get a little jealous of their brother but they know it’s wrong. Of course Monty and the others would like Edwin.
Pairing: Thomas "the Cat King" x gn! ghost! Payne! reader, mild implied Monty x reader if you squint, Edwin Payne x sibling! reader
a/n: tysm for this request! i hope it is to your liking and i hope it's not too ooc<3
warnings: jealous reader, it's implied that reader could be interested in Monty, Charles and Crystal [Cat King talks about which form he should take, inspired by the scene in the show when he turns into Monty and Charles to try and seduce Edwin], i wasn't sure whether these warnings were necesarry but i added them anyway just incase
You had been part of the dead boy detectives agency for a while, ever since you had found your brother Edwin again, you stayed by his side, and ofcourse Charles's too.
you aways helped out, kept them safe the best you could. even when you weren't in a state to do so.
there were uncountable times when you took the hit instead of them, physically and mentally.
you helped calm down ghosts who were lost, helped along with cases to make sure everything went according to plan, steped infront of them if someone tried to attack with an iron weapon, no matter how bad it hurt.
ofcourse, Edwin greatly appreciated it, and yet somehow you feel underappreciated.
they never changed the name, even though you joined, they were the ones people, well, ghosts looked for.
it was always "where are the two boys we were told about" and never "aren't you one of the dead boy detectives?"
when Crystal joined, she didn't seem very fond of you at first, which you honestly didn't mind too much.
could you blame her? she got her memories stolen by her demon ex and now she has no idea where she's supposed to be, where her home is.
when the four of you went to Port Townsend you thought little of it.
it was just one quick little case, right?
wrong.
because of your brother Edwin using a simple spell on a cat that you guys got stuck here.
when you first met the Cat King, you were intrigued to say the least.
maybe it was his way of talking, maybe it was those eyes that captivated you, whatever it was, you felt drawn to him.
but ofcourse, he only looked at your brother.
was it normal to feel jealous like that? you love your brother dearly, you shouldn't want to take something like that from him, right?
right?
when you met Monty, you thought he was pretty cute.
not your exact type, but cute.
but ofcourse, yet again, Edwin was the star of the show.
eventually Monty wanted to hang out with you too, but it was after the third time of him asking to hang out that you found out the only true reason was so he would have an excuse to see Edwin when walking you 'home', which really pissed you off.
so you left, mumbling something about just wanting to take a walk alone for a moment.
much to your luck, they accepted it without another thought.
as you walk, you can't help but notice the amount of cats you see everywhere.
Edwin was supposed to count them all, right?
maybe you could help by counting aswell, and telling Edwin later on how many you saw.
but you were too upset to really do that, so you just kept walking.
until you notice that one of the cats seems to be following you, no matter how many times you turn a corner, or stop for a moment, it seemed to follow your every move.
up untill a specific part, near the woods.
you thought it finally stopped following you, untill you turned around to see none other than the Cat King standing there.
that startled you, for some reason you didn't exactly expect it, and you nearly tripped if he didn't catch you.
"why are you here? why did you follow me?" you instantly question him, which seems to surprise him atleast a little.
"woah, calm down, i wasn't following you, i was just... taking a stroll... okay no i was totally following you" he admits.
"has Edwin counted all the cats yet?" you roll your eyes.
"no, obviously not, he would've gone to find you if he did" you cross your arms and look away from him.
why did he have to look so charming?
you thought he'd leave, but he didn't.
why was he still staring at you?
"you know, i only pay so much attention to him because of his spell on one of my dear cats, you should remember that"
"why would i care who you give your stupid attention to" you practically snarl, though he doesn't seem to be bothered by your tone.
"now, now, no need to feel so attacked. i just want to know, what is it that has gotten you in such a sour mood" he nearly sounds like he cares.
nearly.
"nothing, i just wanted to take a walk" you lie, hoping he'd just leave you alone.
"right, lets try that again, hm?"
he swipes his thumb over your mouth, and much to your surprise you spill everything that you've been keeping quiet about.
"it's just that, i really do love my brother, truly, but sometimes i wish he wouldn't be the one getting all the attention, like, you gave him all your attention back when you wanted to punish him for his 'crime' and Monty only wanted to hang out with me to get closer to him and i just wish that for once, just once, someone i'm interested in would actually see me too. Edwin and Charles, now Crystal too, always get so much credit for solving cases too, and yet i'm the one that keeps getting hurt, that keeps being the target, i always put them above me and ofcourse i'm not greedy about getting attention or gratefullness but does it really hurt that much to ask if i'm okay? if i'm okay with being the bait when it's necesarry? if i'm okay with being ready to face death and go to the afterlife so she'll leave them alone? is it too much to ask for just a little care that's more than just some simple praise?" you ramble on for a bit, barely noticing the small, sypathetic smile on his face.
"now, now, darling, that is quite a lot of emotion, huh?"
"oh fuck off" you snap back, the tingling feeling of the spell he used to make you tell him fading as quick as it came.
"i see you, i have for a while" he admits.
"do you have any idea how hard it is to focus on being intimidating and giving your brother his punishment for using a spell against one of my cats when you're right next to him, all pretty and enticing" he drawls out as if he's a kid who's throwing a tantrum about not getting icecream.
"i mean seriously, have you seen yourself?"
"not exactly, i don't have a reflection as a ghost" you mumble, trying to ignore the growing heat on your cheeks.
he rolls his eyes.
"tell me, what form should i take to entice you to... stay with me, atleast for the night? Monty? Charles? Crystal? i can be whoever you want me to be, my dear [name]" he says as he takes the respective forms of each person he lists, and you notice how even though he practically shape-shifts, one thing always stays the same: those eyes you've grown to love.
"just be you" you murmur, daring to take a step closer to him, to which he subtly licks his lips.
it seems as though he's about to say something, but then he kisses you instead, taking a hold on your waist, he seems to be more gentle than you expected, and you kiss him back.
if someone told you that this kiss lasted for hours, you would've believed them.
it felt as if you got that peacefull after-life that you were promised, without ever leaving behind those you care about.
reluctantly, you both pull away.
"can i stay with you tonight, then?" you mutter quietly.
the Cat King nods, taking your hand, ready to lead you to his abode.

Falling in love with a ghost wasn’t on the cards for you, until you met Charles Rowland.
The supernatural had haunted you since you were a small child, being the victim of a near-death experience isn’t easy on any youngling. Especially you. The consequences of viewing these seemingly mythological creatures took years of patience and silent work to endure, more so, because nobody would ever believe you if you told them you saw ghosts. How ghastly.
And as a young child, you couldn’t imagine that decades into the future, you’d be laid between the arms of one. Two bronzed columns that supported the minuscule length of your torso. And for a ghost? Charles is oddly warm. Or maybe that’s you warming up to your idea of your body heat, marinating in the crisp sheets of your bed. A sanctuary the two of you now shared, together.
But it was nice to think that it was Charles too. He was the reason why you felt comfortable and protected after all. In a world of witchcraft, warlocks, dangers, and death Charles was your home.
A pair of bow-turned lips place themselves against your temple, assisting you in drifting out of sleep. Charles murmurs against the surface of your skin, planting scattered kisses along the top of your head in the process. ‘Dove, we’re meeting Crystal for coffee, remember?’
Charles’s gently mustered words are enough to serenade a response out of your sleepy self. You murmur incoherent words, flipping yourself over so that when you inch your eyes open, they can delight in your boyfriend’s beauty.
His ebony-clad curls are fluffed to perfection atop his head, not a hint of bed-head in sight, which you consider impressive before you remember that Charles mostly spent the night just watching you. As if nothing else in the world matters. You extend a hand to the defined curve of his jaw, practically guiding his lips toward your own. They lock together in familiarity, and nothing but pure, honeyed ecstasy buzzes throughout you. This is better than coffee, better than anything. Charles tasted like heaven, hell, and everything in between.
And as you two separated, Charles beamed down at you with something indescribable bouncing around in his whiskey eyes.  ‘I think a sleep-in wouldn’t hurt, now, would it?’ Rising to the day seems like the logical option. Something that barely crosses your mind for a second before you fall captive to those bronzed arms, weaving around the hitch of your waist. And before you know it, you discover yourself half-tossed atop the ghost you had fallen for. The tall length of his legs tangled with your own. And any responsible, adult-like thought dissolved as your lips crashed together. Something oh-so-destructible yet perfect, how could you say no?
And possibly, that perfect destruction is always the reason why you both are considered late to possibly anything imaginable. If Edwin found himself in the depths of the fiery circles of hell again, the entire group would bet that you and Charles would take an eternity to part before he’d get rescued. It’d be more beneficial for Edwin to smuggle out himself.
‘We’re going to be awfully late, angel.’
‘Maybe because you keep distracting me.’
‘Nonsense, I’m brills and can do no wrong.’
You tear your eyes away from your reflection in the mirror before you. You scrutinise Charles with a disbelieving gaze at his words, which shortly dissolve into nothing less than adoration. Nevertheless, you continued to feign annoyance as you combed a single hand through your hair and down your scalp. Fingers adjusting the little strands to suit your desire for tidiness. 
You abandon this aspiration, pivoting upon your heel. The mask of annoyance you pertain slips away into nothingness as a soft laugh escapes you amid your words. Facing your boyfriend, you slip a hand into his own.
‘You’re lucky that I love you.’ 
'I am so very lucky.'
Charles’ adjusted his position as he moved his lips from the curve of your forehead, toward the curve of your lips. There was something passionate about how the deep onyx of hues sparked with something even deeper. Something warm and honeyed, indescribable. And before you could even decipher what it was you could feel the honeyed taste of him upon your lips, Charles scooped you up and threw you over his shoulder.
His arm relented against the small of your back, even as you holler out empty threats and meaningless curses amid your laughter. This merely prompted Charles to bounce you atop his shoulder blade, a chuckle of his own heard as you huffed and puffed. Nevertheless, you would refuse to admit that the action of soft intimacy made you feel over the moon with exhilaration.
A curse of Charles’s own accompanied your laughter as he was a breath away from the side of his torso slamming into the doorway he attempted to parade you through, which frankly made you laugh harder.
‘You’re such a dick.’ You managed to wheeze out.
‘I think you may be right about that one.’
Charles’s voice sounded with a tinge of mischief, which crept, announced in his tone. You could almost hear the grin in his voice as he articulated his words, even through your limited peripheral vision as you were held captive in his arms.
‘You love it, though.’
The Charles-like cockiness your boyfriend presented caused you to blow out a breath of feigned exasperation. Yet, unbeknownst to him, the slow ghost of a smile proceeded to creep onto your lips. Especially as he continued to balance you upon the bridge of his broadened shoulder, for a hint of dramatics, of course. Because you did love it.
And as the two of you ventured toward inevitable lateness, you couldn’t help but think how you couldn’t wait to do it all again the following morning.
