Day 7: free space—come morning Rating: M (overall) Chararcters: Drift, Ratchet, Rodimus, Thunderclash Tags: Minimal Editing, Fluff and Humor, Old Married Couple, Polyamory, Old Loves Rekindled, Drunken Shenanigans, Making Out, Light Petting, Hangover Fic Summary: Drift and Ratchet are living their soft and cozy lives together way out in the quiet serenity of rural lands that sit on the edge of the wild. They're good with this, couldn't ask for more. Then more comes anyway by way of the past, as it always does.

Note: Just a heads up! This week is focused on Dratchet emotionally, but it is working toward a polycule! (Which will be explored in April during Polyship Week.)

Written for Dratchet Party March 2023! 🥳 AO3 link in reblog!

A couple days late, but done.

The throb of a morning after never came any easier, despite Drift's long experience with it. Of course, it had been quite some time since his last real bender, so he was perhaps a little out of practice with the dawning of this particular sunrise. Whatever the case might have been, his memories from the night previous were utterly glitched.

With a groan, he slapped a hand to his face and rolled onto his belly. His further mutterings were muffled in the soft squish of his favorite pillow, the darkness provided by the move protecting him from the unholy brightness filling the berthroom he shared with Ratchet. It turned out his initial comprehending thought of that morning ended up being the fact that the room was never that bright, not when he first woke. Drift groaned louder and rubbed his face harder into the pillow, his audial flares slanting back as far as they could go. Only when the sleep was dusted from his optics did Drift turn his helm to the side and attempt to speak.

It was a distinct failure of an attempt, his vocalizer crackling and breaking with static. More embarrassing, and struggling to restart his vocalizer, he released a squeal of feedback not unlike that commonly heard from a sparkling on the verge of majority.

"Ow, stop that. My processor is kicking my aft bad enough already without that scrap," complained a gravelly-voiced Rodimus from beside him, raising questions in Drift's heavily clouded brain module. A moment later, Rodimus was shifted over and curled around him like a… like thing that coiled around things, warm and soothing. He nuzzled into the back of Drift's neck, fingers petting over the recessed sword clamp at Drift's hip. "What the frag happened last night?"

Giving his vocalizer a hard reset, then again, and a third time, Drift tested his voice. He was grateful to find only a tiny bit of a Ratchet-like gruffness to it now. "Got fendered off our afts is what we did," he mumbled into the pillow. He paused, then tossed an only mildly successful peek over his shoulder, wincing as his audial flares tugged at the pillowcasings. "Roddy?"

"Mmm?" Rodimus snuggled up a little tighter against him, arms hugging around Drift's middle like he fully never intended to let go as he no doubt slipped back into recharge.

It was quickly evident Drift wasn't going to get any further response. And it would be so very easy to follow his example, too, but no. Not just yet. If he didn't ask the question that bothered him now, he'd forget. "Not to say I don't want you here or anything, but what are you doing on my berth? Where's Ratty?"

Before Rodimus could do much more than make another questioning noise, Drift's answer came from the berthroom door. "Ratty is right here," Ratchet announced, sounding far too chipper for a mech on the morning side of a deep drunk. "He's been in the kitchen with Thunderclash making a couple of lazy speedsters breakfast for whenever they get their afts off the berth."

An agreeable voice rang from the distance—Thunderclash in the kitchen, Drift was certain from the direction of it. The scraping of utensils against cookware further proved Ratchet's assertion. "I know a very quick way to get them up," Thunderclash called out, "if you'd like to know, Ratchet!"

"Mmmph!" Rodimus grumped, burrowing ever closer to Drift. His voice was muffled against the side of Drift's neck as he worked up the effort to yell back, "Don't you dare!"

"No worries, Thunders," Ratchet said, using that tone of voice Drift knew very well meant something entirely too Rodimus-like was about to happen. "I got this."

"Ratch, be nice!" There was a deeply humored undertone to Thunderclash's response, ramping up Drift's growing concern.

"I'm being very nice."

Drift frowned and struggled to throw a glare at his conjunx, sluggish enough still to find throwing off Rodimus' weight a difficult venture. Behind him, though, Rodimus stilled and stiffened before sitting bolt upright—he'd always been quicker to react in the face of danger perpetrated by his own friends and family. Swatting at him and the elbow jammed into his side as Rodimus tried to climb over him, Drift rolled again… and found the edge of the berth. With a clatter of armor, his and Rodimus', Drift yelped as he tumbled in a tangle of limbs to the floor with his best friend.

"Well, never mind, then," Ratchet said with a hard snort of amusement. Drift caught a look at him just as he turned back out the door, heading undoubtedly toward the kitchen again. "They're up!"

Rolling his optics behind shutters that were only barely open, he squinted against the light that spilled in through the—he now realized—completely unshuttered windows. Shoving Rodimus away from him with the ease he'd been completely lacking just nano-kliks earlier, Drift shot up to his pedes only to slap a hand out to grab the headboard of the berth to steady his wobbling. A stroke of Ratchet's field against his made his spark flicker in a quick, happy dance. Drift would never complain about Ratchet stopping to make certain he was all right, even when one of them was being an aft. His attention was distracted when Rodimus grabbed hold of his hand and used it to pull himself upright, as well.

Together, with no help from Ratchet, they attempted a slow stumble from the berthroom. They held each other up, managing to reach the door without knocking over anything breakable. Thunderclash called out an inquiry as to how they fared when Rodimus caught the hilt of a haphazardly stored sword with one knee, sending it to the floor in a rattling crash. "We're fine!" Rodimus shouted back. "Just a sword!"

His audial flares tilting back as he grimaced at the loudness of Rodimus' response made so very close to his helm, Drift gave his best friend a reprimanding little shove. In return, however, he was nearly laid out as they turned into the hall by the reactionary flick of a spoiler wing across the back of his shoulders. Only Rodimus, with a slurred apology on his glossa, kept him from ending up on the floor. As the last remnants of the scrappy Dead End punk he used to be so very long ago fought against Drift's current better judgment, it was ultimately Ratchet coming back to meet them at the end of the hall that stopped Rodimus from taking a knee-jerk fist to the face. (Which in turn would have led to a speedster brawl destroying the living room. Drift was pretty sure that have come out the other end of the fight laughing, at least.)

"If you two don't knock it the slag off," Ratchet said, catching Drift by the forearm and herding him toward the kitchen, "I will weld you to the chairs until you finish sobering up. I cannot believe there's still unprocessed engex in your tanks."

"Nightmare Fuel, Ratch," Thunderclash said as he plated whatever he was making—Drift took a deep sniff and purred at the sweet and savory blend of aromas. "Only Seekers can burn that scrap off completely overnight, especially when you had as much as they did." The big mech paused and tilted his helm. "You left Rodimus to fend for himself in the hall, didn't you?"

Easing himself closer to Ratchet, Drift smirked to hear his conjunx give one of his typical snorts. "Not my speedster, now is he?" Ratchet said, wrapping an arm around Drift to hold him close and steady. He gave an odd pause, the kind to make Drift frown a bit with puzzlement, before adding, "Not yet, anyway."

Thunderclash hummed an assent that Drift wasn't quite sure he understood, but Ratchet's colorful best friend was distracted by a clatter from the hall as Rodimus misstepped somewhere along the way with a quiet "ow." With a roll of his scarlet optics, Thunderclash sighed through a smile, set down the cookware, and headed over to offer a helping hand to his partner.

Finding himself and his conjunx granted a moment mostly alone, Drift lifted his helm and gave Ratchet a sharp and inquisitive stare. "What does that mean? Not yet?" he asked. He tapped a finger to the middle of Ratchet's chest. "Ratty, what the frag did we do last night?"

Ratchet's expression softened and he curled a knuckle under Drift's chin, tracing the pad of his thumb across Drift's lower lip. "Not nearly as much as we could have," he admitted, "since you and the hotshot passed out before we got to anything really good."

"I think I remember kissing… everyone," Drift said, reflexively giving the tip of Ratchet's thumb a little nip. He couldn't help the guilty grimace that passed over his face, noting that Ratchet made no move to say that hadn't happened. His forehelm clunked against Ratchet's collar fairing, right above where his finger had tapped only shortly before. Small snippets of the night before filtered forward into his waking memory, dropping his spark into his fuel tank. "Oh Primus, I did, didn't I?"

A warm hand stroked the back of his helm, a soft chuckle vibrated the armor under his forehelm. "Yeah," Ratchet said, "you did."

Pulling back and standing straight and tall as he could manage, Drift put on a look he hoped showed just how very remorseful he was. He was fairly certain his audial flares could dip no deeper. "Ratchet—"

"Stop right there," Ratchet interrupted, reaching out to tap under his chin as a sign to close his mouth. He waited patiently for Drift to do so before he continued. "Yes, you did kiss everyone last night, but so did I. And Thunders and Rodimus. So get whatever nonsense you've got in that noggin of yours out of it. Right now, we're all going to sit down for breakfast together. Maybe we'll start while we're eating, maybe we'll wait till after, but we will all talk regarding this thing that happened between us. Understood?"

Drift gave a quick nod, finding a smile when Ratchet teased his audial flares back up to stand tall. He glanced back to see Thunderclash leading Rodimus into the kitchen, quietly murmuring to him as Rodimus seemed to flash through the same round of regret and remorse Drift had just cycled through himself. The desire to reach out and comfort his best friend pulsed strong and fierce in his chassis. Returning his gaze to Ratchet, Drift recognized the gentle fondness on his conjunx's face, though it was turned on Thunderclash and—possibly?—Rodimus rather than himself. Maybe they did need to talk. "Understood."

ChenBell: An Explanation of my Phobia

As most of you who follow me on Tumblr already know, I have a phobia of this ship called ChenBell (Nathan Chen X Mariah Bell). On the first anniversary of my accidental discovery of this ship, I think I have an explanation as to why I'm afraid of it.

It all started in June 2022 when there was a rumor that they were dating. I took it to Twitter to express my paranoia and how upset I was about it, only to be told to "touch grass." As a result, I locked my Twitter account for the next few days. I also had some kind of "vision" that there were fanfics of Nathan and Mariah together, but I didn't believe it at first until in October 2022, when I accidentally came across this fanfic called First Kiss #1: Mexico (I found it when I was searching through the Nathan Chen tag to see if there were any X reader fanfics of him. Needless to say, I ended up writing and posting them on here myself). The moment I saw the fanfic, this straight up triggered my panic attack to the point where I almost cried. I even made a vent drawing to express how I felt about what happened.

Since the rumor, I've had a feeling that it was no one other than a demon that started it, and that the people spreading it just chose to believe in it (I know you'll think I'm crazy or weird, but that's just what I believe). As a result of this ship, it ruined a couple of things for me: Think There's Been A Glitch by Taylor Swift (I often call it The Forbidden Song) and Hallmark Christmas movies (Now I'm not the kind of person who lets fandoms ruin things for me, but if it's something involving my phobia, then I'll make an exception).

Earlier this year, I made an MLP villain OC named ChenaBelle. She's supposed to be based off of this phobia, Annabelle from The Conjuring series, and Chucky. As I made art of her, I realized I was getting this feeling off my chest, so now I only make art of ChenaBelle whenever these intrusive thoughts of my phobia come back. It also helped me get a better understanding of myself: It turns out the reason why I'm afraid of ChenBell, or any other ship involving Nathan Chen, is because I have a crush on him, and him getting together with someone would result in me being lonely. I know there are plenty of fish in the sea, but the truth is, no one can replace Nathan, not even my fictional crushes. What doesn't even help is that I met him in person almost a year ago.

And that's why I refuse to do a deep dive into this ship on Tumblr or any other platform. I know ChenBell is old news at this point, because apparently Nathan is dating Jean-Luc Baker (I have yet to believe if they are dating or not, but I'm just going to assume they're friends), but I'm not going to talk about it right now.

EDIT: Another thing I forgot to add: I have very low self-esteem when it comes to Nathan Chen and the figure skating fandom, so whenever I think about ChenBell, I think about the trauma I faced in the fandom on Twitter.

Let me end this explanation on a positive note: ChenBell walked so that my Nathan Chen X Reader fanfics could run.

A List of MCC Concepts Because We’re Bored of the Current MCC

Me and my discord server were discussing yesterday’s MCC, only a little salty that Grian and his team didn’t win. These alternate concepts for MCC were somehow the result. Things turn from actual suggestions to... well... this.

Bolded Bullets are my favorites.

The person who picks up the arrow can't drop it (Dodgebolt)

Clumsy cooking: dodgebolt edition

Hide and seek but you're building the map as you go

It's dodgebolt but each round has an outrageous rule to follow. Like you can only play on F5

There’s like 10 slots for each team and then there’s this one tiny tiny tiny tiny slot where it says the last place team wins (this is how rtgame can still win)

unsurvival games. you have to die as fast as you can. the map is infuriatingly safe (goodtimeswithscar would win)

Another idea: there is a bingo card for each team. Only the MCC admins knows what's on it. Nobody knows what happens if u complete a line

Ace Race but you have to do it backwards

parkour tag but its 3 people hunting the one person. wait that’s just manhunt.

Battle box but you have to make sure the other team survives

buildmart but its just domestic terrorism

Buildmart but it's american black friday (Buildmart with 4000 fans also on the server)

parkour tag but it’s just larping/roleplay

hole in the wall but its hole in the floor

You can just throw hermit raiders in there for a laugh

Sands of times except it makes annoying alarm clock noises when it gets low

grid runners but each room the teams are randomised

Vault Hunters. Just throw a vault in there.

mcc but in every discord call there’s a dude backseat gaming (said dude is ideally Skizzleman)

similarly: MCC but they're in a call with people from different teams

A series of short randomized mini games but the teams get teleported out of the game each time they make good progress

MCC but all the teams are made by vibes alone. And not good vibes

Add hide and seek but the hermits build it

mcc but after each game, one random player in each team is swapped

MCC blasé ball

mcc but its demise

MCC but it’s 3rd life, including the role playing

MCC but one of the minigames is just who can drain a sea temple fastest

MCC but it's speedbuilding basic redstone circuits (One of the missions is “build an etho hopper clock set to three ticks”) (Grian has to make a functional tnt minecart trap)

MCC but everybody is assigned either a simmer or Yogscast member they have to keep alive

MCC but there’s a karaoke round

mcc but the fans vote on who should be in dodgebolt except noxcrew doesn't tell them that the least voted teams are the ones playing

mcc but the games are decided truly through rng so the teams can feel primal fear as build mart comes in last

MCC but you just let XisumaVoid organise one of the games to see what happens

mcc but the entire event start to end is an improv storyline rp (You must have an in character reason for each kill)

Teams where one player has blindness, one is deaf (deafened in discord), one is muted, and one is ehhhhhh idk

mcc but its old people (25+) (Plus Fruit because we like him) (But only if he wears a fake mustache)

MCC but it's Total Drama Island

mcc but its four teams and its like warrior cats (Antfrost wins)

Mcc but it’s only the hermits

Mcc with random old adventure map parts

mcc but its held at a decent fucking time instead of THREE IN THE GODDAMN MORNING (from our dear friend in Asia)

MCC but they travel back in time to 2015

MCC but it's like that one puzzle map made specifically for Zed n Tango, but for all of them

MCC buts it’s 8 games of Decked Out

MCC but it’s played like Minecraft Story Mode

mcc but its a court trial

MCC but Etho’s there for no apparent reason. No one knows what team he’s on.

mcc but only the anime kinnies can compete (Etho vs Phil 1v1)

MCC but the team announcement comes in through an ARG

MCC but we just let Scar in. He just goes to whichever team he feels like and causes problems. Martyn can join him.

mcc but theres a team solely dedicated to being a hinderence to literally everyone else

MCCs but Reddit and Twt don’t exist and there’s just Tumblr

MCC but the teams just make increasingly obscure 3rd Life & HC references

MCC but everyone’s invisible except Fruit

MCC but the fire alarms in the server go off and they all have to evacuate and stand outside

mcc but wilbur doesnt glitch

MCC but the wrong songs play for each event

mcc but grian and the captain are given a 1000 coin headstart each. and they are on the same team

MCC but it's a musical

MCC but one player on each team was secretly told to sabotage their team without the rest of the team knowing. But instead of one player, it's all four players, and they're all trying to sabotage thinking they're the only one (haha amongus)

Ready As I'll Ever Be plays for Purple Pandas and then when the song ends "And then they lost" appears at the end

#minecraft championships #mcc #It was a glorious day in the server #grian #wilbur soot #dreamwastaken #fruitberries #captainsparklez #ethoslab #goodtimeswithscar #ph1lza #philza #Discord Server #antfrost #mcyt #mcytblr

Sam Guthrie x Reader (F) Crazy.

Word Count-6225

(the reader is 5'7-5/8 so shes were an inch or two taller than the rest of the girls.)

Warning- Swearing And mention of death

Lightly Edited

3rd person

Dr.Reyes walked Y/n down the hall towards one of the concrete rooms. The sound of her shoes echoed along the halls. Dr.Reyes opened the door and gestured her in "here is your room, for now. You have some clothes on the bed with some toilet trees." Dr.Reyes said with a small smile, y/n walked into the room "What now, doctor?" y/n chuckled, she looked around. The room was slightly cold "Were going to monitor you. Make sure you don't lose control of your mutation." Reyes stated and y/n turned around and looked at her. Reyes closed the door closed with a slight slam.

Y/n POV

I looked around the room, a few outfits sat on the green-colored bed 'I wonder what there's do around here.' i thought before I laughed "probably nothing but good girls.' and got changed.

I grabbed a pair of dark jeans and a black hoodie with a pair of slip-on shoes that were placed in the corner of the room. I fixed my hair and exited the room. The facility was big but not like a hospital. I walked to the end of the hall and took a left. I walked passed an open door and heard Reyes talking ' i guess this is the room?' and looked through the door slightly, 2 boys and 3 girls. They were sat in a half-circle on yoga mats.

"I'm not going to that, no way." I thought to myself and walked down the hall towards the exit/ entrance of this building. Reyes told me some directions but not a lot. I'll have to ask one of the people here. I walked up to the door and pushed on it, it didn't budge. I pushed it again still nothing "Open please." I yelled out to no one in particular. I heard the lock to the door open "well then..." and pushed open and walked outside. There was a church and then the main building with a fountain in the middle.

The gate was open, but you can tell there's a field around this place you can feel it. I walked towards the church, seeing a giant clock on the top "Could see I can break it and sit up there. That might be fun." I said out loud, see that there isn't anything to do here. I walked in the church and up the stairs to my right. The steel stairs shook a little as I walked up to them. I got to the top and climbed over the rail to get the clock platform.

I knocked on the wood, something my grandfather taught me to see if the wood was rotten or not. The wood sounded hollow, I kicked it and the bottom cracked. I started pulling out 2 pieces of the wood, just big enough for me to sit in and not get splinters.

I looked out of the clock tower, a concrete block sat in the middle of an old-looking basketball court. It had a giant chain and harness on it "What the fuck?" I said and sat down, my feet dangling off the edge.

"I wonder where the road leads to? There no cars here." I thought to myself as I looked around some more. There was a giant field surrounding the facility, and then a treeline so ways back.

I saw the 2 brunettes from the meeting earlier walk out of the main building, they seemed to be laughing at something waling towards the church. The two girls looked up and saw me and pointed up "Hey what are you doing up there?!" she yelled up at me, it was faint but I could still hear her "I'm god! you?" I yelled back down laughing, swinging my feet.

"No your not. Come down before you get hurt." The girl in the blue sweater yelled and I signed, standing up and walking down the stairs. I opened the church's main door open and the 2 girls were standing in front of it a few feet away. I smirked "Wow, you guys are younger. How old are you." I chuckled, the 2 were probably about an inch shorter than me.

The girl with long hair laughed "Your not much older. were both 16." the girl in the blueish black sweater nodded "You guys are children, You guys should be in fucking school... Or in alleyway doing graffiti and dumb shit like me at 16... I'm not a good influence " I drew off "Oh I'm y/n, I'm 17 btw. So you're not that younger I guess..."

The blue sweater smiled "Rahne." and she held out her hand, I shock head "No no no, I don't shake hands. Not anymore." I said in an anxious tone "Danielle, May I ask why?" Danielle crossed her arms over her chest "You'll learn one day. Not now." I smirked, "So who else is here?" I asked looking around, the outside is empty "Well you've met me and Rahne. Then you have Roberto, his family sent him here to be cured, Then Illyana She's not so nice, and Sam he's nice." Danielle answered.

"Interesting. Well then" I signed "So what's there to do here? It looks pretty empty and dead..." I said looking at the dead bushes around the entrance of the main building.

"Not really, we have the church, a commons room with a TV, Foosball table, And a mini library. We also have a pool, that's it." Rahne said before Dani could. I clicked my tongue on the roof of my mouth "So what was that meeting room thing you guys were in? Do you guys do that every day?" I asked the girls looking around, maybe for another place to climb.

"Pretty much. Its like group therapy. Except we have to do to get out of here, you can not go but you'll get out much later than expected." Rahne replied 'she's one of the nice kids. Both of them are.' i thought to myself before looking at the "How long are we here for? 3 months or 3 years?"

Danielle and Rahne looked at each other "Umm, we don't know. Rahne's been here for about 3, I've been here for 2 months." Dani said quietly. I nodded slowly and clicked my tongue "Fucking great. Well, I'm going to go and maybe fuck around and break something. See you, girls." I saluted and walked away 'this is fucking great' I yelled in my head.

3rd person

"Well then... She seems nice..." Danielle said as she watched Y/n walk away, Rahne smiled "Shes gonna get in trouble a lot... I can feel it." Dani nodded and the 2 walked to the field to hang out for the cool afternoon.

Y/n pushed the door open and bumped into someone "What the fuck. Watch it." A girl said from the other side, Y/n looked at her. The girl had long straight blonde hair and bangs "You watch it bitch. You're not scary." Y/n flipped her off and walked off laughing.

Illyana turned around and watched the girl walk away with her middle finger up "Bitch." and Went outside to tag the fountain or the back of the brick building.

Y/n took some turns before being called from down the hall "Y/n!" Reyes yelled to the girl and she turned around "Yeees" she drew out as the women walked closer. Reyes looked at her with a brow raised "Where were you this morning? I haven't been able to find you all day. You know you have to check in with me." the Doctor said in a stern voice. Y/n laughed "I was outside, duh. You have cameras all over and you couldn't find me?" She mocked "That's bullshit, Doctor and you know that."

Reyes signed "Am I going to have to assign you, someone, to walk you everywhere? Y/n." Y/n scoffed and looked at the women "What?" Reyes repeated herself s "Am I going to have to assign someone to watch you during the day?" Reyes put her hands in her pockets "Haha, ill just lock them in a room and leave." Reyes nodded and wrote something down on a note pad from her pocket "We will see about that, Mrs. L/n. But for now, you are confident for the rest of the night. My superiors believe you should not be out alone for now."

Y/n grinned "For what? hurting your feelings?" she mocked in a childish tone of voice, y/n laughed at Reye's facial expression "While you are here, you listen to me. okay, I am in charge here. Not you." Reyes asserted, glancing up into Y/ns eyes "Oh yeah?" Y/n said looking down at the doctor slightly getting close to her face "I've controlled people way stronger and bigger than you. You don't scare me, doctor. You're weak." Y/n had a devilish smirk on her face, one that could make a grown man cry.

"Confinement now. Sedation or free will. You choose, Y/n." The Doctor said in a steady voice, y/n still close to her.

Y/n scoffed "Fine." and stepped back, The doctor let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. The doctor nodded and stood behind the girl as she walked down the hall towards the concrete rooms"Lockdown, off." Reyes said and the gate opened up, and so did the doors.

Y/n pushed opened her assigned room and looked at the doctor "bye-bye." she teased and waved her fingers at the doctor. Reyes closed the door with a slam. Closing the opening on the top of the door.

Reyes turned from the door and walked down the hall, to go to her office and the camera room to check on the other mutants "Doctor Reyes!" Was heard from down the other hall, Reyes turned towards the voice, Rahne and Dani jogged towards her.

"Yess girls?" she asked as the girls got closer, putting her hands in her pockets "Why did we just go into lockdown? is everything alright?" Rahne asked Reyes cleared her throat and thought for a second "Yes, everything is fine. Just a glitch..." she said was a gentle smile, trying to keep what just happened a secret "Oh, okay." Rahne nodded "Oh do you know where, umm what her name. Y/n is? we've been looking for her." Dani asked, Reyes, nodded slightly "Yes, umm. She just got done with the test. She in her room. She is to not be bothered for the rest of the night. Sorry girls."

Rahne and Dani nodded and Reyes walked away. Rahne and Dani watch the women walk away, and turn down the long hall.

Y/n POV

I kicked the bottom of the door and walked towards the bed and sat down. The room was cold and the light flickered. I laughed at the situation and fell back onto the hard bed under me "What the fuck!" I yelled looking at the peeling ceiling. I looked at the camera in the corner "Hello, doctor." I waved at the camera which had a red light now "I'm just gonna go to bed, I guess," I said with a yawn and turned away from the camera.

Next day

"It's 8:30, please start to get ready for the day. A required meeting is at 10:30. Everyone should be there." I heard Reyes talk from the speaker, I groaned and heard the speaker connected tot he camera in my room crack "Ill be there in 10 minutes to bring you to my office You'll be with me today until group." I herd Reyes say and sat up "you're kidding me... Am not a fucking kid!" I yelled and changed into a pair of ripped jeans and a long sleeve shirt, I tucked it into my jeans and put on the slide on sneakers I was wearing yesterday.

I fixed my hair and waited for Reyes to come down. A few minutes passed before I heard the lock to the door open and the door opened "Good morning, how did you sleep?" Reyes asked me as I exited the room and closed the door behind me "Fine, Can I go to the bathroom?" I asked as we walked down the hall, Reyes nodded and we walked to the bathroom. Reyes stayed outside while I took my time. I do not want to be with these women today.

A few minutes later I exited the bathroom and Reyes mentioned down the hall. We walked to her office in silence. She opened the door I walked in "Why am I here?" I asked as I fell into the couch in front of her desk. She sat in her desk chair and looked up "Because of the incident yesterday. I am going to watch you for the first half of today, until the group. Then I am going to put you with one of the trusted mutants to watch you until I believe you can roam free. Do you understand?"

I looked at her "Who is it that gets to watch me?" I questioned looking at the bookcases around the room, She stopped typing on her computer and looked up "Sam Guthrie. He has agreed to be your, so-called 'keeper'. He will keep you calm and out of trouble, like yesterday you got into a small conflict with Illyana." she stated and looked again at her computer and started typing.

I sighed and leaned back on the couch, The room was light up by a lamp on her desk. The bookcases were filled with books and random Items, I guess from her higher-ups. The room also had file cabinets along one wall 'probably all of the other mutants that have come and go. Mines probably in there as well with the others...I'll have to get my hands on it.' I thought to myself.

The sound of typing and page-flipping were heard through the room. The woman was very focused on her work. Only leaving the room to go across the hall to check on cameras. An hour passed and it was time for the group. Reyes and I walked to the room, as Reyes ha to set up.

"You can sit there." Reyes pointed to the seat closest to the door and her, I rolled my eyes and dropped into the wooden chair. The room was filled with different types of Items, like yoga mats and an easel for painting.

The mutants all came at once like they had a meeting before coming, I waved to Dani and Rahne. Dani raised a brow "Why are you here so early?" she asked in a quiet tone as she walked to her seat, I gestured to Reyes and rolled my eyes. Rahne shook her head and took a seat, Reyes looked at the room "Hello, how is everyone?" She asked and took out her clipboard.

Good was muttered around the room "Whos the new girl?" the boy across from me asked, looking me up and down. Reyes nodded and gestured towards me "This is Y/n L/n. She came in 3 days ago." I waved and looked around.

The blonde from yesterday, who was holding a purple puppet glaring at me. I smiled at her and she rolled her eyes. There was also a boy right next to me, he had a cast and sleeve on and a grey sweatshirt with a hat.

"Why haven't we seen her ?" the guy from across the room asked, Reyes, cleared her throat "Because Roberto, she is..." The woman thought for a second "She is more troublesome than my superiors anticipated." I chuckled and leaned back "Oh my."

"Y/n, why don't you introduce yourself? same to the rest of you." Reyes asked pointing her clipboard towards me, I sat up and pulled the sleeves of my shirt over my hands " I'm y/n, as you know... I'm here because I can control people like 'puppets' and drive them insane. Close to killing themselves... insane." I said in a quiet tone "Also, I'm here because I'm just fucking trouble."

Reyes looked over at me "Language, Y/n. Now everyone else introduces yourself." The room went quiet and Dani spoke up "Well you know me and Rahen." Dani said with a smile. Roberto looked up "I'm Roberto." I shook my head and looked at the blonde "Show and tell, sweetheart. What's your name."

The blonde looked at me and smiled "Your nightmare" I laughed, and took a deep breath "You're like a chihuahua. All bark and no bite. I asked for your name, not your coping mechanism." She gasped and gripped the purple dragon puppet "Her name is Illyana." The boy next to Me answered, I took a dramatic breath "Wow, The chihuahua couldn't talk for herself. Thank you 'Luck Combs." I heard him huff.

I heard a chuckled from across the room, it was Dani "Now, Mr.country. What is your name?" I said turning in my seat facing him 'Imma annoy the shit out of him. he seems fun.' He sighed and fixed his hat "My name is Sam." I nodded and gave a soft smile before turning back around facing Reyes with the most annoying smile I can.

"Now that everyone has introduced themselves. Were going to talk about the incident that leads us into where we are now."I rolled my eyes and zoned out, Already knowing 3 out of 5 incidents.

3rd person

"I killed 18 men." Y/n heard Illyana making her zone back in, "What else?" Reyes asked the girl "I killed them with my sword and Lockheed." She smirked with a strong voice. Reyes wrote down some notes and looked at the same "Sam what about you?" Y/n focused her attention on him, still looking at the floor. Sam shuffled in his seat "I got claustrophobic." y/n shifted in her seat a little, wanting to be able to hear him better "I... Freaked out, and blasted. Killing my dad and his team."

"Oh, shit..." Y/n muttered putting her hand on her face. Sam looked at her and then back at the floor "Y/n, why don't you share?" Reyes asked the girl, y/n shook her head "No thanks." Reyes nodded and wrote down something on her page. A few more minutes went by before the meeting was over.

"Well, that wraps up today's meeting. Y/n and Sam, please stay behind for a moment. Everyone may leave, you're free for the day." Reyes stated and the room stood up, Y/n and sam stayed in their seats. Once the 4 left Reyes close the door "What is it? gonna lock me in a room again?" Y/n smirked standing up fixing her shirt.

"No, y/n. This is sam, the person I said volunteered to watch you?" Reyes said with a soft smile, Y/n pinched the bridge of her nose and turned towards sam "Well the aren't you lucky country boy." Reyes cleared her throat "Y/n. Be nice, this is your last chance." And with that Reyes left, probably going to her office or the camera room.

Sam stood up and fixed his sleeve "So what did you do? to you know, have to have someone to watch you?" sam asked as the two walked out of the room, Y/n chuckled "I threatened Reyes last night, told her that she was weak and that I've dealt with people stronger than her. I also got into a little conflict with Illyana the other day and apparently Reyes though it was a big deal."

The two turned the corner walking outside "What did you do to Illyana?" Sam questions, knowing that Illyana isn't hard to break. Y/n stopped walking and looked at him "I opened the door, I bumped into her. She told me to watch it, so I told her that she wasn't scared and flipped her off. That was it." Sam turned around and nodded slowly, rethinking his agreement with Dr.Reyes.

"Well then. Umm, I'm going to practice and your gonna stay out here on the wall, and try to not get in trouble?" Sam asked the girl I front on him, She smirked nodded"Fine, I can't promise though." and followed Sam to the concrete block. He took off his sweater and sleeve, Y/n watched to the church outside wall and stood against it. Sam hooked himself up and looked and y/n, she waved her hand to him and shook his head and prepared to blast off.

Y/n watched sam as he launched into the air, right when he did. Y/n ran into the church and up to the clock, the wood was replaced with a tarp which she held up and sat where she had on her first day. She watched Sam fly through the air, the bright orange light that followed him. Sam went around a few more times before he started going off track, he crashed into the ground and Y/n flinched as she heard the crash, sam flew back into the air and crashed into the concrete a few more times before stopping.

Y/n Jaw dropped as she watched the boy lay on the ground for a few seconds before standing back up "I thought I was messed up." she muttered to herself as sam Unbuckled the harness from his torso and looked at the wall y/n was at before he blasted "Y/N!" Sam yelled for the girl and she held in a laugh swinging her feet, hitting the brick, Y/n watched sam look around while putting his sweatshirt on and sleeve.

Sam looked up at the church and saw y/n sitting in the clock "I told you not to leave the wall, come down here." He yelled up to the girl and she laughed "Ask nicely." she yelled down to him, he shook his head and rubbed his face with his right hand "Can you PLEASE! come down?" He yelled up, drawing out the 'please', Y/n stood up and walked down to the boy.

Sam stood a few feet in front of the door waiting for the girl. Y/n walk out and laughed "You look like a dad who just saw his daughter's boyfriend." she said holding her stomach laughing, After a few moments y/n stopped and took a deep breath fixing her hair. Sam shook his head at the girl with a small smile "you are... something." She smirked and walk to the boy glancing up at him "Its called trauma, sweetheart." and flicked his hat. He rolled his eyes and fixed his hat and nodded.

The two stood close to each other for a few moments before Y/n spoke up "So those crashes you tool, you need medical attention or?" Y/n asked stepping back from Sam, looking at his eye which was turned red. He shook his head "No, I'm fine. Thanks."

The two stood in silence before y/n started to walk away from him towards the cemetery behind the church "Where are you going?" Sam asked catching up to the girl, she laughs "Looking around. I have only seen a little bit of the main building and whatever you can see from the church. So, Sam is going to come with me and walk around while I get familiar with the place. Okay?" Y/n looked at Sam and winked "Okay." Sam agreed and the two walked around in silence for a while, Y/n taking a moment at a few graves to look at them and push away weeds covering them.

Y/n ran towards the giant greenfield looking at the tree line among it "DO you ever wonder what's behind it?" Y/n asked sam as she kicked off her sneakers letting them fall to the grass. Sam walked to her side "Yeah who wouldn't, also what are you doing?" Sam asked looking at the now barefoot girl.

She stared at him "What does it look like? Imma runs down the hill, with no shoes on. Possibly fall and hurt myself but imma have fun. With or with you." And with that y/n ran down the hill laughing. The grass wasn't so long that she could trip on it but it was long enough to not be able to see rocks. Y/n tripped slightly but caught her footing and continued down. She got to the bottom and danced around, Sam watching her from above.

Y/n did a few spins and fell to the ground on her back. Sam sat down on the grass where he was standing. Y/n took some deep breaths and let the world stop spinning before sitting up. Y/n looked up the hill and saw sam sitting there looking at the sky, distracted.

Y/n stood up and slowly walked up the hill and sat down next to him "What you looking at." Y/n said getting close to his ear, Sam flinched "dear lord. The sky, you?" Sam Chuckled glancing at the girl who had moved away from him "You. Because I'm stuck with you for a while." Y/n said as she leaned on her hand looking at sam.

Y/n and Sam sat on top of the hill for a while in silence, the two were strangers and had nothing in common that they knew of. But they both felt like they could trust each other. The sky started turning orange and sam stood up and gave y/n his right hand "Come on, we got a go in." sam said as Y/n took his hand he lifted her "Is there a crew few or something?" Y/n asked as she brushed her butt off due to grass.

"No, not really, only in the morning. But we have to eat, and then the group will probably go to hang out in the attic later."Sam said and y/n nodded "Okay." Sam walked in front of Y/n as the went to the main building. sam opened the door for y/n "What a gentleman." Y/n Joked and walked through, the door closed and locked. Y/n turned to sam "So where is the cafe?" Sam pointed down the hall "Down there, Its not a hard building to find yourself around. It's just a matter of knowing which door is the right one." Y/n nodded and followed sam.

Sam and Y/n entered the Cafeteria, Y/n saw Danielle and Rahne and walked towards them and sat down. Sam going to a random table in the room.

Y/n POV

I and Sam entered the Cafeteria, I saw Rahne and Danielle and Went to there table. I Waved and sat down"Hey! How are you guys." I asked as I sat down, the two girls smiled "Were fine, you?" Rahne responded with a smile, Dani nodded and smiled Taking a small bite of food.

"I'm fine, first full day here so..." I shrugged my shoulders, Danielle raised her brow "why did Reyes need you and sam group?" Dani asked, I smiled and sighed "Apparently, I'm more then what her higher-ups though. So, Reyes asked sam to be the 'watcher' of me. It's my last chance or I guess I get sent somewhere else?" I explained to Dani "So You and Sam basically have to hang out all day, Just to make sure you don't get in trouble?" Dani asked and I nodded.

We talked some more about each other's day/ life before coming here while the two girls ate, I had gotten up and grabbed an apple "Are you going to the attic tonight?" Rahne asked and I raised a brow "I guess, I mean why not." I responded and Dani smiled "Oh your in for a surprise." I rolled my eyes and laughed "I bet, It can't be that bad."

"So how you liking Sam?" Rahne asked I shrugged "He's nice, I mean he's a good boy. And I'm not good, I'm trouble so." I started glancing over at Sam who was talking Roberto. Rahen chuckled "A Trouble maker paired with a good guy. What could go wrong?" Dani smirked at y/n " Very little, actually. I and he literally sat on the hill for like 30 minutes in silence." I laughed and so did Dani.

3rd person

A few minuted pass, Dani And Rahne had returned their trays and y/n had thrown away the apple "You wanna come to the common room with us until we all go to the attic?" Rahne asked as they returned, Y/n nodded "Yeah sure." Y/n stood up and went to walk out with the 2 girls "Wait hold up, Never mind ill meet you there." Y/n said and stopped waving to the girls and walked over to sam.

"What you doing?" Y/n said as she sat down at the table sam was at reading a book, sam looked up "Waiting for you. You done?" He asked marking and closing his book, Y/n nodded "Yeah, wanna go to the common room?" Y/n said as she stood up pointing to the door, Sam nodded "Okay, Come on." Sam and Y/n left the Cafe, Roberto washing dishes in the room.

The two entered the small room, Y/n jumped over the couch next to Dani and Rahne "Hello!" Y/n laughed and the girls waved continuing to watch the movie. A few minutes passed and Roberto knocked on the door "Come on attic time."

Rahne and Dani stood up, and y/n turned off the tv standing up and walking out of the room with the group. Roberto and Illyana up front basically running. the group went to the staircase and went up, the room smelled like old wood and dust. Y/n waled up the stairs and saw a wooden chair with wheel, an old gurney, with a stool next to it, and another table in the middle and on the side.

Illyana Walked tot eh back of the room pulling out an old briefcase, and opened it up. Y/n saw what it was "Oh, a lie detector test. wonderful." y/n said as she poked sams arm, Sam shrugged and sat on the stool next to Y/n who was on the table. Dani sat next to Y/n and Rahne sat next to the test.

"Whos going first?" Sam asked and Illyana smirked "Roberto?"Roberto got in the chair and Rahne hooked him up. After he got asked his question he got out and sam jumped in the chair Rahne hooking him up and such "Whos gonna ask?" Dani asked, Illyana spoke up "What's up with you and Y/n?" Y/n looked at the blonde and then at sam.

"Nothing, why?" Sam responded Rahne nodded "He's telling the truth." Rahne said to Illyana "Then why were you with her all day?" Y/n laughed at Illyana's question, Illyana faced her "What are you a stalker?" Y/n laughed at her, Illyana looked at sam "So..." Sam looked at y/n and cracked his knuckles "I was assigned to supervisor her. That's it." Rahne looked at the graph "Truth." Illyana nodded and looked at y/n "Your turn, new girl get in the chair."

Y/n shook her head and waited for Sam to get out before sitting in it and Rahne hooked her up "Why are you here?"Illyana smirked moving the light into Y/n face, y/n flinched before answering "I drove a bunch of people insane, and controlled them like puppets to kill each other." Y/n sated in an emotionless voice "They killed each other slow and bloody, while voices in their heads drove them deeper and deeper into the craziness." Y/n said as she looked at Illyana.

The line on the board was straight "Shes telling the truth." Rahne muttered out, Illyana looked at the girl "And why is sam assigned to watch you? You to crazy to be alone?" Illyana said the last part in a high pitch voice, Y/n chuckled "Yeah, pretty much. Reyes Higher Ups said ' I am too much then they can handle.' So yeah your right, I am too crazy to be alone. That and I threatened Reyes the other day." she said with a smile, the room went silent. all that was heard was the lie director writing the line on the screen.

Y/n pulled the wires and stuff off of her and got out of the chair "I'm going." she said and walked down the stairs sam got off of the stool and signed "Good job." he faked smiles and followed the Y/n.

Y/n ran down the stairs and opened the door with a slam, tears were building up and she really just wanted to break something. She speed-walked down the concrete brick wall, Sam opened the door and y/n was halfway down the hall "Y/n!" he yelled but not too loud, Y/n didn't stop but ran into the bathroom and locked the deadbolt on the door.

3rd Person(bathroom)

Y/n ran into the bathroom and locked the deadbolt on the door, the tears that had built up started to fall. Y/n fell down the cold cinderblock wall, Flashbacks of the incident purged her mind and they would stop. Y/n put my head and my knees and hoped it would stop, hitting the wall once in a while when they got bad.

A knock echoed through the room "Y/n?" a person from outside answered, Sam. Of course. she didn't move, fearing the people would be in the room with her, Sam knocked again "Y/n, open the door. You're fine." sam voice was muffled slightly. Y/N shakily stood up and unlocked the door she stepped back so sam could get in. Tears still falling and her breathing is ridged with the scenes playing in her head.

Sam slowly pushed open the door closing it behind him, Sam faced Y/n whos hands were covering her eyes, "Y/n, hey you're fine. Okay, it was an accident." Sam said trying to help the girl but not really knowing what to do. Y/n latched on to sam and cried harder, Sam hugged her with his right arm his left one was still up against his torso. Sam slowly bent down leading the two to the floor, sam pulled y/n into his lap as he sat up against the metal door.

Sam rubbed Y/n back slowly trying to calm her down "Tell me whats going on, y/n." Sam said in a quiet voice and the girl cried, she choaked "They're killing each other and screaming, there's blood everywhere. I don't-" she stopped talking covering her ears "What are you hearing y/n? talk to me." Sam stated holding her a little tighter "Just so many voices, ones from the men and ones from my power. It just won't stop sam." she cried hitting her head lighting with her palm.

Sam grabbed her hand and pulled it to her side so she couldn't "Hey, listen to me ok?" Sam asked the girl rubbing small circles into her hand, she nodded "They aren't here. Its just flashbacks of the incident. Your gonna be okay." He told Y/n, as she calmed down a little bit.

This went on for a few minutes before y/n crying had stopped. Sam rocked side to side a little bit until he heard no more crying, Y/n wiped her eyes and Sam gave her a tissue from his jacket, Y/n chuckled and cleaned herself up "Thank you." Y/n muttered in a tired voice getting out of his lap and leaning up against the wall next to him.

"You're welcome, you good now? You want me to carry you to your room?" Sam asked looking at the puffy eye girl, she shook her head "No, it's fine." she covered her mouth and coughed lightly. She brought her knees up to her chest " you good?" Sam asked rubbing her back "I will be If this breakdown didn't alert Reyes." she chuckled and look at sam and smiled, sam chuckled "I think you're good. the only thing in the bathroom is probably a microphone." the two laughed, and Y/n shook her head "Honestly with the number of cameras in this place probably." Y/n drifted off in thought, sam looked at her "What are you thinking?" Sam asked with a little fear in his voice, Y/n busted out laughing "With the number of cameras and microphones here in this building. The amount of security guards that have probably caught people doing the deed is ... Oh my god." Sam walked Y/ns calf with his right hand lightly and y/n stuck her hands up "I'm just saying... don't get you jockeys in a knot." Y/n laughed and Sam dragged his hand down his face shaking his head.

Y/n laughing echoed throughout the room, soon Sam joined in. the room echoed with the twos laughing. A few moments later they topped and y/n chuckled "I mean... We could test that microphone theory..." Y/n drifted off in thought with a wink, Sam shook his head "What?" Y/n looked at him, Sam's mouth widened at the realization and y/n wheezed " Oh my, y/n." she laughed harder and Sam tried to comprehend what I happening.

Sam signed And looked at y/n "Not now, oh my god." Y/n stopped laughing and shrugged "I mean, you won't know until it's proven or not." Y/n smirked at Sam, he shook his head You are just, too much."

"So, you want to? or..." Y/n joked Sam laughed "one day sure, now? no." Y/n shook her head, and grabbed some right hand with her left hand and looked at him "I'll hold it to you, Guthrie." Sam shook his head and yanked Y/n hand towards him. Putting his arm around her shoulder "I bet you will."

Random Access Memory

[Sparks Masterlist]

[Tag Yourself]

Beta: @juniethebug

Pairing: Robot!Namjoon x Reader

Genre: Friendship, Comedy, Soft boy, Fluff.

Summary: Kim Namjoon was a robot librarian and database of information. On mondays and wednesdays he read to the children on Thursdays the old people from the retirment home came to find new books to read. His favourite days of all were when you would come to study, but what does he do when you are locked in his library over night.

Kim Namjoon was written as 金南俊 in Chinese and meant ‘Genius from the south’. He was a library database, you could ask him questions and he would try to answer, you could ask for a book or genre and he would know where it was. He was good at his job.

He spent Monday and Wednesday mornings reading books to the children, and on Thursdays, the old people from the retirement village would arrive and he would guide them about the library looking for books.

He had seen many different people good and bad and he enjoyed what he did. He was watering the indoor plants in the library. The woman he worked with named them all and so he would bow to them and say good morning to each one before pouring water from his watering can and moving on.

“Hello Priscilla, you are looking vibrant today?” He smiled “You have definitely grown a millimeter since I last saw you!”

A head popped up over the small plant and Namjoon saw you smiling. “Are you talking to the plant?”

“Yes, Mrs. Park says that talking to the plants helps them grow” He smiled, “I am Kim Namjoon, the library Database, I am here to assist you, can I help you find anything?”

“No, it’s okay?” you smiled

“You look like a young adult, a popular novel has been released about a Robot caregiver and a sick human would you like me to locate this book for you?”

“No thank you,” you smiled, “I am just studying.”

Namjoon wanted to ask what you were studying but was called by another patron of the Library looking for a book. Namjoon watched you all day and then he watched you collect your things and leave.

It seems you come in every day studying in the same booth and Namjoon leaves watering Priscilla till last so that he can observe you some more. “Can I help you?”

“Actually, yeah would you be able to find me this book here?” You said holding up a piece of paper, he took it feeling your fingers brush for a moment. He scanned the database and got a few hits making him smile.

“We have a few copies, which edition would you like?” He asked and you grinned back at him.

“Ah, the latest one if I can,” You watched him turn and leave into the many aisles of the library. At least five minutes had past and you got up and went after him. “Namjoon?”

You saw him looking at the book in his hand and just staring at the cover, you walked over slowly, “Is everything okay?”

“Oh, I am sorry, I just got an update and was downloading.” He didn’t smile, “I found your book”

“How are you feeling?” You asked softly, taking his arm in your hand “About the update, is everything okay?”

“Everything is working perfectly, just new information,” He gave an endearing smile showing off his dimples, “here is the book you requested.”

You watched him walk off feeling a little concerned, there had to be a reason he had stopped for so long, some malfunction or something.

The two of you had gotten close and Namjoon was a goofy sweet guy, he would make you laugh and would ask some rather endearing things. He was actually really good with his words. He would make rhymes and funny little soliloquies to pass the time.

As he watered the plant he bowed to it respectfully greeting and complimenting the vegetation, he was honestly a sweetheart. He must have noticed you watching so he waved and walked closer.

“Miss Y/n I have a question that I have been thinking about a lot,” you nodded prompting that you were listening and wanting him to continue. “Well, do you have things in your head that you shouldn’t?”

You blinked shocked, “What type of things?”

“Like videos of people, it’s like I am someone else and watching their life.” He said “I don’t know why but every now and then I get these things that play, I don’t know where it is and it’s not the same every time”

“Why don’t you tell me some of them?” You asked, he walked over and sat down.

“Well the first one is in some type of lab, there are people and I open my eyes and look around, they call me Lee Hyun. In another I am walking somewhere and when I look in the mirror it isn’t me. The last one is the scariest because I or Lee Hyun, kills a woman and her fiance”

“Lee Hyun,” a voice said, you were in shock from the story you didn’t know someone had heard.

“You know Lee Hyun?” Namjoon asked the other robot, he was wearing some old clothes.

“I know he was shut down because he had killed a woman and her fiance. He was a robot who glitched.” The robot said frowning.

“How do you know this?” You asked curious as his human companion looked around before sitting in the booth with you.

“It’s on the down-low but the story goes a Robot was made but he fell in love with his creator, circumstances with the way he was trained programmed and taught by the humans shaped him and made what he did so terrible. When he fell in love he confessed but she said she was already engaged. Furious he killed her and her fiance and when they came to shut him down he sent out a type of virus that made the Robots act a little strange.”

“Strange how?” You asked, Namjoon seemed lost in thought.

“They started to develop feelings and hobbies, they started acting more like humans.” The woman said, she looked oddly familiar.

“Ah my assumptions are correct, you are the author of the ‘Robot Caregiver’ it is a best-seller among young adults,” Namjoon said.

The group dispersed and You watched Jungkook he did act a little differently he didn’t seem like he was following commands the way he moved and spoke and laughed were all instinctive.

It was the week before your big history test and you were practically living at the library, Namjoon would watch you study, eat and occasionally nod off at the desk. He went about his day reading to the children and helping a man learn Spanish.

He was disappointed that he was so busy that he didn’t get to wave you goodbye when you left that afternoon.

The library was soon closed and Namjoon returned all the books to the shelves vacuumed the floor and walked to your usual booth. He found himself sitting in your spot and charging, it felt a little taboo but he just couldn’t seem to charge anywhere else.

When he turned the opener to the booth he saw you delicately curled up on the curved seat breathing.

Namjoon froze looking around the lights. No one was here and you were both locked in until morning.

He took care of plants but never humans, searching his databases he found humans needed warmth food water shelter to survive.

Hurrying to the staff room Namjoon found some cup ramen and began following the instructions. This was not something he knew how to do but he followed the instructions to the letter and it seemed to turn out okay.

Carrying a glass of water and ramen seemed simple but was actually quite difficult. Arriving back at the table he saw you stirring and knelt down. “Miss Y/n?” He gently shook you. “Miss Y/n, you fell asleep and the library is closed.”

“Closed!” You shrieked sitting up confused, “Oh, I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to fall asleep in the library, I can leave now, what time is it?”

“I am sorry, the library is locked so you can’t leave until the owner unlocks the door in the morning,” Namjoon hummed, “but I bought you something to eat and drink and if you want we have some pillows and blankets near the children’s reading corner.”

“Oh thank you,” You mumbled feeling kind of awkward about being in the library when it was closed and after hours. “I guess I can use this time to study.”

Taking the noodles you began eating and continued studying. Namjoon found you a blanket and pillow and you sat studying for a while. When you grew tired he told you to lay down and he began reading to you ‘The Robot Caregiver’ you listened for half a chapter before drifting off once more and Namjoon brushed your hair off your face and watched over you all night.

He woke tired and on low battery but it was worth it to make sure you were safe.

Weird Fiction/Cosmic Horror Recommends

In a time of general uncertainty and anxiety, one thing that is certain is that weird fiction/cosmic horror has got your back. If you like to combat your growing sense of existential dread by reading about other people’s growing sense of existential dread, this is a list for you. Where texts and shows are available online, I have included links. Where they are not, I have included links to where they are available to buy.

Books

Agents of Dreamland – Caitlin R Kiernan

Government agents, ritual murders, a doomsday cult and a glitch in NASA’s interplanetary probe all feature in this deeply frightening and deftly written novella that takes classic Lovecraftian tropes and expands on them with mesmerising skill.

Wanderers – Chuck Wendig

When a sleepwalking epidemic hits America, those affected head towards a destination known only to themselves. Desperate to keep their loved ones safe, ‘shepherds’ follow the growing group to protect them on their journey. This is an incredibly rewarding read stuffed full of complex characters, apocalyptic horror and a long hard look at human nature.

Winter Tide – Ruthanna Emrys

After the government raid on Innsmouth, Aphra and Caleb Marsh are the only inhabitants of the town to survive the desert internment camps. When confidential, dangerous magic is stolen from Miskatonic University, the FBI are forced to turn to the last of the Marsh’s for help. An evocative and sympathetic novel that takes the antagonists of Lovecraft’s works and paints them in a new light.

The Fisherman – John Langan

This is considered to be a modern classic of the genre and for good reason. It’s best to go into this one as blind as possible so I’ll just leave you with this little quote: "I know Dutchman's Creek runs deep, much deeper than it could or should, and I don't like to think what it's full of."

Carter and Lovecraft – Jonathan L. Howard

A homicide detective turned Private Investigator finds himself embroiled with the last known descendant of H.P Lovecraft, Emily Lovecraft. When deaths that have an eerie resemblance to the writing of Emily’s ancestor begin to plague the area, the investigator finds himself drawn into a world he thought didn’t exist beyond fiction.

Rosewater – Tade Thompson

The first in an award-winning trilogy that blends science fiction into the weird in near future Nigeria. When an alien biodome manifests in the landscape, a select group of people in the surrounding area begin developing psychic abilities. A winding, disturbing tale with an original setting, voice and characters; this is the perfect read for those looking for a fresh take on the genre.

North American Lake Monsters: Stories – Nathan Ballingrud

I am hugely obsessed with this – Ballingrud uses tropes and characters we are all familiar with and uses them to tell stories that shed light on the plight of rural, poverty-stricken America. He is a masterful author with a true gift for atmospheric writing (‘Late summer pressed onto this small Mississippi coastal town like the heel of a boot. The heat was an act of violence.’) and this collection will appeal to fans of Ligotti and Barron as well as those who are unfamiliar with the genre.

The Ballad of Black Tom – Victor LaValle

This is essentially a retelling of Lovecraft’s The Horror at Red Hook (but without the blatant racism, hooray!). A slow burn, cosmic horror noir featuring a who’s who of the Cthulhu Mythos, for those interested in the genre who do not get on with Lovecraft’s writing or the man himself, this is an excellent way to get all the good stuff without the bad.

Anthologies

A Lonely and Curious Country: Tales from the land of Lovecraft

Seventeen stories about Lovecraftian horrors in the most unusual of places. Lots of these work as mini-sequels to Lovecraft’s original stories so this is a good companion for those familiar with his work.

Lovecraft Unbound

As I’ve said before, Ellen Datlow is a powerhouse of anthology editing. Featuring a great spread of familiar mythos faces and more thematic takes on the genre, Lovecraft Unbound is one of the best collections out there.

Book of Cthulhu

There are a couple of these! All feature some of the best contemporary authors writing weird fiction. Quality of individual stories sometimes varies in Lovecraftian anthologies but that is not the case here. The first is particularly good as it also contains stories from older, more obscure writers who are hard to get in print.

Shadows of Carcosa

Twelve short stories that feature everything from the land of carcosa to the traditionally Lovecraftian setting of the cursed hills of New England. All of these are shorts written by classic writers such as Poe, Stoker, Bierce, Chambers and Blackwood.

Lovecraft’s Monsters

Another collection edited by Datlow. This one is particularly fun as it features illustrations, as well as a story by Neil Gaiman. Lovecraft’s Monsters is amongst my favourite of the anthologies as it is based solely around the creatures that crawl and squirm through the mythos. It’s also available as an audiobook!

Children of Lovecraft

Fourteen short stories including authors like Stephen Graham Jones, Orrin Grey, Caitlin R. Kiernan and Livia Llewellyn. Full of body horror, dread, surrealism and one of the best opening sentences to any short story.

She Walks in Shadows

A monumental, fascinating collection comprised of exclusively female authors. Offering a long overdue look at and development of the female aspects of the mythos, this collection gives a voice to the previously unheard. For those looking for a diverse, original and often deeply disturbing reading experience, this is your anthology.

Available online for free

The Lovecraft Ezine has a great archive here of all its previous issues

Weird Fiction Review is an excellent resource for online fiction – both excerpts from books and stand-alone short stories.

The Online Books page has direct links to the issues of Weird Tales magazine published between 1923 – 192.

TOR.COM is an amazing resource for all kinds of science fiction and fantasy shorts. This is a link specifically to Lovecraftian fiction. There’s also lots of interesting things to read under the tag cosmic horror here.

Graphic Novels

Fatale - Sex, violence, cults, cosmic horror, imaginative period settings and gorgeous artwork. Fatale is one of the best comics set in the mythos out there.

Locke and Key - Many of you will be familiar with Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez’s hugely popular (and now televised) series focused on a house above a portal to the plains of Leng.

Harrow County - Creepy, rural-based, folk horror series centred on a young woman who finds herself to be joined to the forest and the land in ways she could never have imagined.

The Squidder - A postapocalyptic Lovecraftian mess, I have included this because it is worth buying for the artwork alone. Ben Templesmith is an acquired taste but an incredibly talented illustrator whose work is uniquely suited to the mythos.

I have talked about these several times before but it is always worth checking out I.N.J Culbard’s graphic novel adaptations of Lovecraft’s stories, as well as the two anthologies that were released several years ago.

***

Films – Cosmic Horror

I have linked to the trailers for each of these, some are classics you will know, some are new.

The Colour out of Space

Die Fabre

The Dunwich Horror

The Endless

Event Horizon

The Void

Europa Report

Black Mountain Side

Films – Folk Horror

The Ritual

They Remain

The White Reindeer

Night of the Demon

Apostle

More generally, some good online resources for old/weird/out of print books are

Project Gutenberg – an online library of over 60,000 books in the public domain

Internet Archive – a great resource for obscure books (particularly historical)

Europeana – items from Europe’s galleries, museums, libraries and archives

Digital Public Library of America – similar to Europeana, but for America

Classic Literature – lots of 19th century gothic goodness in particular, but great for all the classics too!

And when it all gets too much and you feel like being your own creeping dread, Here is a link to a fun game where you can be the rats in the walls.

Xkit Rewritten vs Old xkit

okay for those of my humans that haven't checked out the new xkit aka Xkit rewritten.

it's pretty snazzy and I actually really like the drop down box interface better than the central pop up of the old.

HOWEVER---

Xkit Rewritten does not have all the extensions the old xkit does. For example :

---there is no “blacklist” extension (probably do to the fact that tumblr has its own block tag function now not that its entirely reliable)

---editable reblogs or as its called in the xkit rewritten 'condensed reblogs'. It's not that great. And does not really work very well at all of rp'ers. because it doesn’t allow you to delete the post previous to the most current. And lets face it read mores are...gross and complicated to track when your trying to go back and read a thread or any other number of things.

BUT do not fret because....

-drum roll please-

old xkit and xkit rewritten can be used side by side simultaneously!

so my solution for the time being? use the xkit rewritten for most of your xkit extension needs and just keep the old one for things like black list and editable reblogs.

why? because the new one's extensions actually work.

Like the 'no recommended' actually blocks the tumblr radar, recommended blogs, etc.

just make sure if you turn on an extension in xkit rewritten that you turn it OFF on the old xkit. to avoid the extensions fighting with each other and causing glitches and the like.

NOW

to get to the part that’s got a few people wigged out...

Xkit Rewritten blatantly warns and requires you to okay “Give this extension permission to read/change data” <---this does not mean what you may think it does. (Old xkit did/does this too).

What this actually means: you are giving xkit rewritten permission to change the DATA of the post you make/reblog in order to post/reblog it to YOUR customized specifications via xkit options.

what this DOESN’T mean: its stealing your passwords, its recording your personal information. etc etc etc ad nauseam.

hope this helps.

- Crow

p.s. if u wanna download xkit rewritten its on their blog just open the old xkit and click the 'support' tab there should be a link to their blog from there.

what does it all mean?

as you all know, this blog does not think swiftgron is together (other than being friendly and on cordial or even close terms) however we do think swiftgron is being referenced by kevin, her wikipedia, and that news video as part of a narrative. we are not entirely sure what that narrative is but we have two very specific ideas. if you hang around the blog or discord you probably know what our two theories are. we are not comfortable blogging them publicly right now.

the usps post coordination is very loud to us as well along with the outside sources commenting on swiftgron.

it is not just our small circle of delulu 2020 swiftgrons that notice something going on with the girls. they are referencing each other and seem to be circling one another and normal people are taking note.

i probably missed a lot so please ping me if i did (esp about taylor, we don’t track her as closely as we do dianna, we’re going to start though) and please read over this post with big swiftgron intelligence agency eyes 👀👀👀! if there are connections and “coincidences” that stand out to you anon the blog or comment please!

and that’s what you missed on swiftgron

A lot of my posts on such topics aren't really tagged, and my writings are scattered, and some thoughts I've only communicated through tumblr DMs, or just kept to myself and never really detailed publicly at all, so I figured it was time to make a ""masterpost"" of sorts in which I explain every idea I have about needlessly edgy scenarios involving everyone's favourite (?) mid-2000s comedy web series. Because there are issues with my brain.

1. The one where it's the suffering game arc of The Adventure Zone: Balance but with the new kids. I'm probably never gonna properly write this, but I'm imagining it having a tone that gets progressively more serious and intense than the actual series, but still with a decent amount of comedy.

This is the only entry on the list that definitively does not involve any of them dying, although if I was gonna properly write this (which, again, I'm probably never going to) then I would almost certainly include a couple of fake-out deaths (i.e. when Kevin drops to 0 HP and falls unconscious, or at the end when Neil comes back and sees the near-death state that Ryan and Kevin are in). But they all make it out ok.

2. Computer Fighters canon divergence au where they actually do use the computer virus floppy disk to defeat Gunfoot, but the virus takes them over and turns them into fucked up glitch monstrosities.

Also, alternate outcome of that same premise in which only Neil gets taken over by the computer virus, leaving Ryan and Kevin to figure out how to get him back to normal... or whether that's even possible.

(Edit: I've published this now! You can read it here)

3. Just a run-of-the-mill permadeath au. Most events play out the same, but Kevin stays dead after spooky manor, and in between getting up to wacky hijinks, Neil and Ryan go through a tumultuous grieving process which ultimately results in them forging a stronger bond. Maybe in this au the studio sends Spencer in specifically as a "replacement" for Kevin, which forces Ryan and Neil to come to terms with the fact that Kevin is actually gone, when maybe up until that point they'd sort of subconsciously been expecting him to come back somehow.

Later, Ryan getting frozen by the misery meister takes him out of the picture permanently in this au. Either A) without having Kevin there to encourage him, Neil can't work up the courage to go back to the lair, or B) ...well, uh, think about what might happen to a human body in the real world if it got frozen in ice and then someone tried thawing them out with a hairdryer. Yeah. Very icky, very unpleasant, very traumatizing for Neil.

There are two possibilities as to how Neil himself would meet his end without having his friends at his side anymore. Either the bad luck curse from the lost episode does him in, or he gets gunned down while inside the game world of computer fighters 2000. Either way, this is definitely an "everybody dies in horrific and depressing ways" scenario.

4. The fic where they get attacked by Rorschach watchmen, and the elaborate continuation of it that I have not written and probably will not write, but it sure does exist inside my brain. Here's the play-by-play, ft. accompanying notebook doodles (click for full view because some of them are formatted weird)

So, two distinct timelines here. In Timeline A, Ryan manages to avenge his friends' deaths and kill the original Rorschach. However, since he can't go back to his old life, he takes the Rorschach mask and adopts the Rorschach identity.

In Timeline B, Kevin and Neil recover from their injuries, but the first responders recognize Ryan as a vigilante and just leave him in the alley. Neil and Kevin return to the alleyway after recovering and leaving the hospital, and they find a stray dog chewing on a pile of human bones. Kevin blames both himself and Neil for what happened to Ryan, but Neil refuses to (outwardly) accept any blame. This leads to them having a big argument and going their separate ways.

Cut to several years later in Timeline B. Neil has devoted himself to advanced computer science, whereas Kevin (who has an eye scar in this timeline from when Rorschach punched him in the face) has devoted himself to such hobbies as violence, guns, and dramatically holding Ryan's skull (because yeah that's whose bones it was if that wasn't clear) and vowing revenge.

Kevin's plan is to kill Rorschach, but for some reason in all these years he's never been able to find him. This is probably just because this timeline's Rorschach also died ""offscreen"" at some point. Maybe the actual plot of watchmen happened, who knows. Either way, Neil has a loftier plan: opening a portal to an alternate reality, finding an alternate version of Ryan, and bringing him into this universe (because, plot twist, Neil DOES feel extremely bad about what happened!! He's just unwilling to admit to all the guilt he's wracked with!!)

So Neil's plan actually works, and a version of Ryan manifests outside his science building. However, just then, Kevin was heading over to Neil's science building to yell at him or something, because that's something he does occasionally. That, or everyone is just incredibly in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Because, guess what, it's Rorschach!Ryan from Timeline A, who all this time has just been doing the edgy vigilante thing and being depressed and alone. He appears, with the Rorschach mask on, and Kevin immediately shoots him. Neil gets there just in time to catch him as he falls.

Kevin rips off the Rorschach mask in a classic "let's see who you really are!" moment, and is shocked and horrified to find that it's Ryan. At this point, Neil breaks down and admits to all the guilt he's been wracked with all these years.

Does Ryan survive? That's up to you to decide for yourself, I guess. Do you think you could survive getting shot point-blank with an entire round of bullets? Either way, it's definitely a big moment of emotional catharsis.

#not gonna put this post in any tags are you kidding me.#like yeah i don't think people browsing the tag for a beloved internet content creator are gonna want to see me going on #about different ways that character versions of him and his funny little filmmaker friends could just fucking. suffer and die.#but i feel like this is a useful post to have on my blog. so maybe i'll pin it or something #edit from multiple full years later: realized that this technically deserves to go in my #doodle tag #and while i was at it added alt text to said doodles because holy shit can you believe that this entire time the images in this post #were left undescribed for some reason? idk what was up with that

Finding You - Part 8

Pairing: Detective!Dean x Reader

Warnings: Angst, Anxiety, Scary Situations, Character Death, Injury, ANGST, Hint of Fluff

Word Count: 2,978

Summary: When Dean has to testify in court against a fugitive that he arrested, he doesn’t think that his world is going to be flipped upside down. You’re taken from him and now he has to make a decision. Drop the case, or risk losing his wife for good.

A/N: This is Part 8 of Finding You. Feedback is appreciated!

Series Masterlist

"What'd you find now?" Dean asks as he breathlessly walks through the front door.

Sam takes a deep breath. "The footage was tampered with."

Dean's eyes widen. "What?"

"The security footage from the storage units has been tampered with," Sam says as he turns the laptop around so that Dean can see the screen. Dean looks intently at the screen and he can feel his heart drop when he notices the glitch about an hour after you escaped.

"You think that they did take her to the unit and..."

"Then someone edited it out to make it look like they didn't take her there."

Dean swallows hard. "Yeah, but from when I left that gas station and brought you here, then went to the storage unit it couldn't have been but an hour which means that whoever did this had to have direct access to the footage to mess with it before I got there," Dean says. He sets his jaw and shakes his head. "The stupid manger at the storage units. Man, I knew that dude was acting shady."

"Dean..."

"Why didn't I figure it out before?" Dean says as he runs a hand through his hair. "He's gotta be in on this somehow."

"Or maybe he was paid," Sam says.

"Either way he is a dead man," Dean says through gritted teeth as he turns to walk out of the room.

"Now where..."

"I'm going to go get my wife, Sam!" Dean says as he walks over to the stairs.

"Dean, don't you think that you should call the local police to let them handle it?"

"Sam, I'm supposed to testify tomorrow and if I don't step down then they will kill her! Now, that's not something that I'm willing to do and if I did then (Y/N) would probably kill me so the only thing that I can do is I can go get my wife so you might as well shut up about it!" Dean runs on up the steps and he doesn't let Sam say anything else. Dean almost runs into your mom as he rounds the corner.

"What's going on?" she asks.

Dean takes a deep breath. "We think that we know where she is," Dean says as he walks into your old room to grab his gun off of the dresser.

"Well, you're not going to go by yourself, right?"

Dean turns to look at your mom, trying to give her a convincing look. "I'll be alright."

"Dean..."

"I promise you that I will be safe and I'm going to bring her home," Dean says softly as he walks over to the stairs. Dean sees Sam standing by the front door and he rolls his eyes. "You're not serious."

"Dean, if you won't call the local police for help then I'm tagging along," Sam tells him. "I'm not letting you do this by yourself. It is too dangerous."

"Fine," Dean says. "But you are sitting in the car and I'll shoot you myself if you don't listen to me."

Sam nods his head as he gives Dean a stubborn look. "That's fair." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Dean, I still don't think that you should go in there without some help," Sam says as Dean pulls out his gun and opens up the passenger's door.

"I'll be fine."

"What if there's more than one person in there?"

"What if they kill her while I'm calling in help?" Dean asks, feeling sick to his stomach at the thought. "I'll be fine, Sam."

Dean gets out of the car and walks over to the building. He can tell as he walks through the door that something's different, and that's when he notices the body of the manager that Dean talked to laying on the ground. Dean swallows hard as he flips the safety off of his gun and walks through the double doors that lead to a long hallway. Dean sees drops of blood on the concrete floor that couldn't have been there for long and he tries not to think that it could be yours. Dean walks down the hallway and he turns right, but hears something in the opposite direction that causes him to turn around and go the other way.

Dean rounds a corner to see someone walking out of one of the storage units. He can hear muffled yelling that stops when the door is pulled down. Dean takes a deep breath trying to hold out for the guy to lock the door. Dean lets him turn to walk off before walking around the corner.

"Stop!" Dean hollers as he aims his gun. "Open that door." When he doesn't move, Dean walks forward. "Open the door. Now!" Dean's heart pounds and the guy reaches into his pocket, but instead of getting out the key he pulls a gun from his pocket. Dean fires and the guy falls hard to the ground, and the key falls out of his hand and onto the floor. He runs over and kneels down beside of the body, letting out a sigh of relief when he finds no pulse. Dean looks around at his surroundings before grabbing the key off of the floor and walking over to the door. Dean unlocks it and pulls the door up, his knees almost buckling when he sees you tied up to a chair in the middle of the room.

"(Y/N)!" Dean hollers as he runs over to you on shaky legs. You scream from behind the tape on your mouth as tears fall down your face. Dean's here. He's found you.

"Shh, baby. You're alright now. You're okay," Dean whispers as he kneels down in front of you, pulling his knife out of his pocket to cut the rope around your wrists. Dean looks up at you, frowning when he sees the tape on your mouth.

"Okay, I know that this is going to sting a bit, sweetheart," Dean says, wincing as he tugs at the corner of the tape. Once it's off you start bawling as you reach out towards Dean, placing a shaky hand onto his cheek as the tears fall down your face.

"Dean," you choke out, your voice shaky from all of the screaming.

"Shh, you're alright now," Dean says softly as he leans down and he cuts the rope around your ankles. "Do you know where the others are?" You shake your head. Dean puts the knife away, wanting nothing more than to take you into his arms but knowing that he needs to check you over first. Dean sees the cuts and bruises all over your body, but what makes him feel sick to his stomach is the blood stain on your shirt. "What happened?" Dean asks you as tears well up in his eyes.

"Shot me when I was trying to get away," you croak out. Dean swallows hard as he pulls you off the chair and into his arms, holding tightly onto you. You sob and shake in Dean's arms as he presses a kiss to your forehead. You feel Dean's tears fall onto your skin and you let your eyes slide shut. "I'm sorry," you whisper.

"You have nothing to be sorry for," Dean tells you softly.

"If I hadn't..."

"Shh, let's not talk about it right now, okay?" Dean tells you. "You're safe now and it's all that matters." Dean takes a deep breath as he pulls away a bit, shushing you when you let out a sob at the loss of contact. "I'm not going anywhere, baby. I'm only looking at the bullet wound to see what we're dealing with." Dean lets out a small sigh of relief when he sees that the bullet grazed your side. "Nothing too serious," Dean says as he pulls you in tighter to him.

You cling onto Dean's shirt as you look him in the eyes. "Take me home."

Dean nods. "I will, sweetheart, but we've gotta take you to the hospital first. I'm sure that your parents would like having you here for a while longer."

"No," you tell Dean as you shake your head a bit at him. "Take me home."

"Okay," Dean breathes out as a wide smile spreads across his face when he realizes what you're saying. Dean leans his head down to give you a soft kiss, leaning his forehead against yours as he pulls away. "I love you, (Y/N)."

"I love you too, Dean."

"Alright," Dean breathes out. "Let's get you out of here and get you taken care of."

"Okay," you tell Dean as you go to stand up.

"No, no, no," Dean tells you as he tightens his arms around you. "I gotcha." Dean slowly stands up with you knowing that jostling you around is going to hurt your wound. You wrap your arms around Dean's neck and you lay your head over onto his shoulder. Dean walks out of the storage unit and puts a hand onto your head, gently turning your face towards him. "Don't look, baby," Dean tells you when he sees the body laying on the ground.

"'M so tired," you tell Dean as your eyes grow heavy.

"You do what you have to do, sweetheart," Dean whispers. "I've got you now."

You look up at Dean and give him a soft smile. "Dean?"

"Yeah?" Dean asks as he carries you down the long hallways.

"I knew that you would find me," you tell him truthfully.

"I'm glad that you've got a lot more confidence in me than I do," Dean tells you. "I got quiet a few scares along the way but I knew that I wouldn't give up until you were safe in my arms."

You smile softly at Dean as you feel the sleep trying to overtake you. Dean carries you outside and over to Sam's car where he's standing. A look of relief crosses Sam's face when he sees Dean walking over with you.

"Is she alright?" Sam asks as Dean opens up the door and sits you gently down in the seat.

"She's fine," Dean says as he kneels down beside of the car and he looks up at you. "I want you to sit here and let Sam look out for you for a while. Okay?"

"Dean," you choke out.

"I know. I know," Dean tells you softly as he reaches up and rubs his thumbs softly over your cheeks. "I'm going to be alright. I have to take care of something and then we'll take you to the hospital, okay?"

You swallow hard and you nod your head. Dean leans in to press his lips to yours, whispering to you that he loves you as he pulls away. Dean stands up and he looks over at Sam.

"I've gotta call this in," Dean tells him. "They killed someone and then I took one of them out."

"Don't worry about (Y/N)," Sam tells him. "She's alright with me."

"I know," Dean says as he turns to slowly walk away from you. You're trying your best to keep the tears in as Sam slides into the seat beside of you.

"You're alright now, (Y/N)," Sam tells you softly when he sees that you're about to break. He wraps an arm around you shoulders and pulls you in, holding onto you tightly until Dean gets done. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You slowly open your eyes, groggily looking around the room as you try and wake up.

"Hey there, sleeping beauty," Dean smiles at you when your eyes land on him. He gets up out of the chair that he had been dozing in and walks over to the hospital bed. "Doctor said that everything went well and that you should be able to get away from here in an hour or so."

"My parents..."

"Sam's there now," Dean tells you as he sits down onto the hospital bed beside of you, gently pulling you over towards him as he wraps his arms around you. "He told them what happened and that you're alright. I'll take you there when they discharge you."

"Then we can go home?"

"Yeah, sweetheart," Dean smiles softly at you as he leans over to press his lips to your forehead. "Then I'll take my girl home and won't let go of her." Dean tightens his arms around you as he rubs his hand up and down your arm. Dean can tell that there's a lot still bothering you. There's a lot that you both still need to talk through. But he decides that it isn't important right now.

"You okay?" Dean asks you as he pulls up outside of your parent's house. You nod and open up the door. You get out of the car and walk across the yard, slowing a bit when you feel Dean wrap an arm around your waist. You walk inside and Dean looks on as both of your parents pull you into a tight hug, looking over to thank Dean even though he doesn't want them to.

"You don't have to thank me for finding her," Dean tells them. "I did it because I love her." Dean smiles softly at you as you turn to look at him over your shoulder. When you walk over to the stairs to get your things, you reach out to grab onto Dean's hand as you pass by him, giving it a small squeeze and then dropping it before walking on upstairs.

After a while you, Sam, and Dean are on your way home. Dean sits with you, keeping his arms held tightly around you even as you fall asleep on his shoulder. You don't say anything on the drive home. You don't say anything as Dean picks you up out of the car and walks you into the house. You don't say anything as Dean carries you into the bedroom, gently laying you down onto the bed and leaning over to press a kiss to your forehead.

Dean walks into the bathroom and you can hear water running. He walks out to find you almost asleep and he frowns as he picks you up.

"I hate to wake you, sweetheart, but let's get these past few days washed off of you, alright?" Dean asks you softly as he carries you into the bathroom and sits you down onto the shut toilet seat. "I promise that you'll feel a lot better." You don't say anything as Dean helps you with your bath. Your body feels almost numb and you're so tired that you doubt that you could do it on your own. As it turns out Dean was right. Getting cleaned up does make you feel a lot better.

Dean grabs a towel and he wraps it around you before carrying you into the bedroom once more. He sits you down onto the bed and walks over to the dresser, pulling out a flannel shirt of his before walking over to help you into it. Dean buttons the shirt up, his heart breaking when he sees the distant look on your face.

"How's that feel?" Dean asks you softly. You nod and Dean helps you to lay down, pulling the blankets up over you to tuck you in tightly. Dean walks out of the room and into the kitchen, walking into the bedroom with a bottle of water in his hand. He kneels down beside of the bed and hands the water bottle over to you.

"Sweetheart, I know that you're exhausted and all you want to do is sleep right now but you need to drink a little bit before you do, alright?"

You nod and slowly sit up with Dean's help. You take a small sip and the cold liquid feels really good on your throat. When you're done, Dean sets the bottle down onto the nightstand before walking away to get dressed to go to sleep. Dean climbs into bed beside of you wearing a t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants.

"Comfortable?" Dean asks you softly as he moves to wrap an arm around your waist. You nod and the silence is slowly killing him inside. He gets that you're not very talkative right now but he's in desperate need to hear your voice. "Hey," Dean says softly, hoping that you'll at least turn to look at him. "I know that you're tired, but if you need to talk then please do. I'll listen, baby." You don't say anything so Dean decides to leave it alone. He leans over to press a kiss to your cheek before settling in to go to sleep.

And that's when it all hits you at the same time. The fear. The exhaustion. The realization that you could have died. The fact that no matter how aggravated Dean was at you after your talk on the phone, he still loves you enough that he didn't stop until he found you. It's all too much and you can no longer hold it all in.

You let out a sob and the floodgates open. Dean tightens his arms around you as he moves to press himself against you as much as he can, letting you know that he's there with you. You feel Dean's own tears hitting your head and that's when you realize how much this has affected him also. You know that he's been holding it all in too and he's not allowed himself to feel much.

You want to turn to wrap your arms around Dean, but yet you don't think that you'll be able to move right now. Your body feels frozen. Dean curls himself around you as much as he can, like he's trying his best to protect you from the world. Neither of you speak. You only hold tightly onto each other as you break. But that's okay, because the light touches between the both of you as you cling onto each other say enough.
