1 or 12 <3
hey al my good pal
1. What’s something new that you tried in a fic this year? How did it turn out and would you do it again?
i tried a lot of new things with You’ll be alright! for one, it’s the first thing i’ve ever written that is distinctly an au, as everything before it was pretty much canon compliant. Finding out how to put these characters in completely different circumstances but still making sure that they feel like their characters as well as combiothe worlds of pjo and panem was so much fun! also first time writing bianca. she was so fun.
I think i’d like to do all these things again! it’s fun (and a nightmare) figuring it all out, but that is the part of the process i like the most <3. id also like to write bianca again but i don’t have plans to at the moment
12. what fic was most difficult to write? did you finish it?
also from my hunger games au , with this heart of mine that’s guilty, not remorseful (hunger games au causes me so much agony. how ever it causes me more agony not to write) this one was hard bc i wrote it @buoyantsaturn ‘s no love style so i was writing a scene ten years later than you’ll be alright and also trying to not completely give away what happened during those ten years<3 but i think it turned out well!!
ty al
send me fic asks!

💜💜💜
hi, friend! 🥰💖
⛅ Share your favorite piece of dialogue from your WIP
(from this is us 18)
"I don’t want to wake up one day and regret not trying again. I want you. I want all of you but I'm scared—scared that I'll get hurt and revert back to the old me. I’ve had a lot of healing and I'm in a good place. But seeing you again, being near you makes me want to forget everything that has happened and jump in your arms and tear off your clothes."
🌧️ Share something angsty from your WIP
(from secrets aka your fav fictional couple 😅)
You stare down the tall, slim models walking before you, all of them warmly greeting Jungkook. “You’re a model? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“You never asked. Just like how you never ask anything about me.”
Oof–that stung because you knew he was right. By keeping him at arm’s length, you never asked about what his job was, his hobbies, his likes, dislikes. You felt like shit, an asshole.

thinking about the expert masseuse Alfred hired for the family that is paid a small fortune annually to provide massage services and ignore so, so many things. No questions, no remarks, just quality service and an ironclad NDA that, if broken, would probably topple said masseuse’s entire family line.
Things Alfred is paying them to ignore, in no specific order:
Bruce’s spinal hardware courtesy of Bane :)
weird amounts of muscle on everyone, even the kids (despite them allegedly not working physical jobs)
scars
FRESH scars
the fact that every joint in Bruce’s body clicks when moved/manipulated at the tender age of 42
Olympic athlete level physiques
rotator cuff injuries across the whole family
scars that are definitely from bullets and/or acid splashes
old signs of what looks like torture (Bruce)
Dick’s entire left arm is basically screws and plates (he “fell really bad” once)
every single family member takes deep tissue massage with max pressure with 0 complaints
calluses
no really, the weirdest fucking calluses
#thoughts#I got a massage today and played my favorite game#where the masseuse touches my back for the first time#add to this?#recoils slightly#and asks me immediately what I do for work lmao#bruce wayne#batman#dc#batfamily#dick Grayson#robin#nightwing#red hood#Jason todd#Damian wayne#Fic ideas#actually this would be a hilarious outsider pov

satisfy you
warnings: 18+, smut, cheating, p in v sex, pet names, kissing, squirting, drinking.
summary: reader is dating rafe, and he isnt satisfying her needs, jj offers to help.
pairings: nice!kook!reader x pogue!jj
you attended this big bonfire that everyone went to every single year in the outer banks.
if you lived in the outerbanks you knew that bonfires were the core place that drama started.
usually you would go to drink one or two beers, have fun, and dance with your friends a little. but this time that wasnt the case.
Rafe had been getting closer with this bartender from the country club, and it was really starting to weigh down on you.
you tried to ignore it at first, but he had started going to the country club a lot more often, more than usual. and he stopped touching you all together.
first he stopped fucking you as often, but then it quickly turned into just no attention or affection from him at all. and it really hurt.
you went to this party to get wasted, and forget about all your problems, even if it was temporary.
you drunk a few beers, and downed a couple shots, now a bit tipsy from the alcohol floating in your system.
you were sitting in the grass, knees pressed up to your chest, back up against a oak tree with a few carvings on the bark of it.
your just staring at everyone partying and having fun, zoning out and just lost in your thoughts.
your snapped out of your thoughts as you see a fit blonde walk in your direction, stopping beside you.
"sup, can i sit?" the blonde asks
"yeah, of course." i look up at him and scoot over, making room.
as he sat next to me in the grass i smelled a mixture of alcohol and weed on him.
"so, what are you doin' alone at a bonfire?" he asks while giving you a once over, admiring the sight of ur curves in that dress.
"jus' trying to get my mind off things, you know?" i look up, finally locking eyes with him.
"yeah? things like what? i bet ur pretty little kook life is awesome." he says as he brings the joint between his fingers to his lips, taking a puff out of it.
"kook life really isnt all that great jay. not as great as you think" you say with a hint of vulnerability behind your words.
"it actually sucks," you continue "all the girls are mean. all they care about is money, and their boyfriends fancy cars. and all the kooks are assholes."
he puffs out the smoke, exhaling and listening to your rambling.
"i just feel like..im stuck in bubble wrap sometimes. i dunno if that makes sense" you put your head down, feeling like you said too much.
he turns so hes sitting in front of you, his face in front of yours.
"y'know its okay to get outta the bubble wrap sometimes..." he says, his eyes trailing to the hint of exposed cleavage from ur dress.
you dont know if it was the alcohol in your system or the way he was looking at you, but damn, he was so hot.
you find yourself staring, and look away, until he uses his index finger to tilt your chin back so your face meets his.
you felt a familiar pooling between your legs, but it wasn't like the pooling that happened when rafe was around.
you barely got turned on by rafe by the way he treated you, literally having to beg him to touch you most of the time. he couldn't commit to one woman, and the better of you knew that. you just couldn't seem to let him go.
i involuntarily clench my thighs, and it doesn't go unnoticed by jj, his eyes dart down to the exposed skin on your thighs.
his cargo shorts start to tighten, as if he wasnt already hard when he first approached.
you and jj start to pass the blunt, and eventually the tension becomes too much, the weed and alcohol is floating in your systems, and you find yourselves leaning into eachother.
your lips eventually meet, and it only escalates from there.
at first it was sweet and slow, but then it quickly got hot and heavy, your tongues tangling together.
you straddle his lap, grinding your clothed core against his bulge that was straining in his shorts. his hands start to grope your ass, as his dick seeks more friction from you.
he groans, and his arms hook under your thighs, he pushes himself off the ground, supporting your weight easily.
he carries you over to the twinkie, all the other pogues are still occupied out at the bonfire partying.
he uses one hand to open the sliding door, and lays you flat on your back on the surface of the backseat. he shuts the car door and he wastes no time in connecting your lips with his again.
in between kisses, he mutters out "'m gonna fuck you so good, ya gonna forget rafe exists."
following his words, he unbuckles his shorts and slides them down his legs, kicking them to the side, along with his boxers.
you look down at his dick and your eyes widen. you've never took dick that big before, fuck you were panicking.
he smirks at your reaction, and he slides your dress down your thighs, and off, tossing it where his boxers were. he lowers his face to angle it down with yours, his arms on either side of your head.
he strokes his hard cock, his tip leaks salty white precum on your thighs. his hands go down to the waistband of your panties and he hooks his fingers into it.
"can i take these off, pretty girl?" he asks, his ocean blue eyes boring into yours.
you nod, breathing getting heavy, the pool between your legs intensifying by the second. you were really about to get fucked by jj maybank.
you almost couldn't believe it, you both came from totally opposite sides, he grew up in the cut and you didnt. it was weird, but in that moment you didnt care.
all you cared about was getting his dick inside of you.
with the fingers that are hooked in ur panties, he slides them down your thighs with. he tosses ur panties and his eyes zero in on your spread pussy.
he groans, his cock jumping at the sight. he spreads your thighs some more, and the sudden feeling of a warm substance hitting your pussy shakes you out of your thoughts.
you look down to see his cock leaking precum onto your clit.
he spreads his precum on your folds with his tip, you both moaning at the situation. he lines his tip with your entrance and he pushes himself in.
as he slowly pushes in, he dips his head down to kiss your neck to soothe the slight pain from the stretch of his thick, girthy, cock.
he whimpers against your neck at the feeling of your tight walls fluttering around his member.
he starts to slowly thrust in and out, before his thrusts become faster and deeper. you grab onto his shoulders as a leverage, even though you weren't going to fall.
as he continues to thrust in and out of your sopping pussy, he speaks, his voice muffled by your neck. "mm what a fuckin' shame. that kook passed up the chance to fuck this pussy?"
you moan at his words, the stretch of his dick, the sound of his voice, the way his hand comes down to rub your clit, its all too much.
you start to see stars as you throw your head back, pussy clamping down on his cock. your moans and his groans fill the twinkie. the car rocking with every thrust, due to however old the junk was.
his tip nudges the spongy spot inside your pussy that makes you squirm, you start to whimper and let out long moans, signaling your close.
jj can tell by the way your clamping down on him, and the way your eyes roll back, that your close. he starts to thrust into you at a relentless speed, rubbing your clit rapidly, meeting your lips in a heated kiss.
you shout into his mouth "fuck jj!"
he smirks against your lips, pulling away for a brief moment to speak, his speed never faltering "cmon baby; tell me i fuck you better than rafe." he breathes out
i moan, tears flowing out of your eyes "fuck yes, so much better!" your eyes roll back again
he feels your nails scratching at his back, desperately trying to hold onto something. "yeah? who do u belong to now, hm?"
"you jayjay.." you barely manage to get out with the tears flowing out of your eyes.
he kisses your forehead gently, still slamming into your pussy. "cmon, give it t'me princess. cum for me baby."
following his words, you feel a unfamiliar gush of liquid come out of your hole. you've never done that before. it feels different but it feels so damn good.
you scream out, continuing to squirt on his cock.
he thrusts a few more times, groaning and moaning as he cums on your tummy, "your mine now. my fuckin' girl."
after he comes down from his high, he pulls his phone out, and snaps a picture with the flash, adding a text to it that says "jus made your girl squirt, looks like shes mine now, kook 😎"
he sends it to rafe, and then he helps u back into ur dress, then puts his shorts back on after.
"y'know i meant what i said, ur mine now." he seals his words with a quick kiss.

can I request for Se-mi x fem reader where the reader is one of the pink triangle guards? Where she protects Se-mi and helped her get out of the game by betraying the other guards.
First ever ask!! Ofc ofc :D
Player Se-Mi x FEM! Guard Reader
Warnings: None.
A/N: Well…this became a lot longer than I anticipated! I hope you all enjoy!
Life has always been cruel to you.
And, you supposed you have been cruel back.
Your parents never cared about you, letting you wander the streets alone until you one day got lost.
You still remembered what happened, even though it transpired years ago.
It was dark out, and in the alleyway where you stood, not even the city lights could really dispel the darkness around you.
Of course, like any child your age you were scared. Your hands had trembled, your lips curled into a sob, hoping that maybe just this once, your parents finally cared enough to rescue you.
But, that never happened, now had it?
You never were a stupid child; you were intimately aware of what horrors could unfold in this world -but you had never really, truly seen it happen firsthand.
Of course, that changed.
There was a clatter of metal against the dirtied cement, a scream, and then before you knew it you were face to face with a sad sod of a man.
Though you barely remembered his words, you would always recall his hands-large and meaty-sinking deep into your delicate shoulders as he shook you with the desperation only a man in his final seconds of life could conjure. He was begging you to...save him, but from what you still hadn't known.
But before you could move, scream, or do anything of the sort, you heard a bang. Skin and flesh alike flew from his forehead, and his eyes rolled back to his skull as he suddenly slumped before you, coating your body with his blood.
And then, the man's limp body was pulled back, and as you cowered there in the dirt, you finally saw the face of the killer.
As he would later admit, he was just as surprised to see you as you were to see him.
The man readied his gun...but couldn't bring himself to shoot a child.
And so, instead, he gently ushered you to a black van parked by the side of the road, tied a blindfold over your eyes, and took you to the games.
He pleaded and begged the Front Man to let a child stay with him, arguing that you had no one left. And, in a way, you supposed that was true.
Eventually, the Front Man had agreed, and you would spend your formative years living with the man who saved you.
It was...certainly a sight to behold, watching a child roam the halls that, just hours ago, were soaked in blood.
And, when you were of age, you were granted a mask and an outfit. It was a triangle mask, just like the one of the man who saved you.
In another life, perhaps you would’ve been happy, ridding the world of the trash with you and the man who had saved you.
But again, life struck, and this time it took away him too.
Apparently, he had spared a contestant he was meant to kill.
And, just like that, it was as if your world had crumbled all over again. At first, you were in denial. That man, whom you had grown to love as a father, was a ruthless killer. Surely they had misunderstood the situation? Surely, it was only a matter of time before he would've killed the player?
But, you soon learned that life had no time for your pondering. You would have to move on forward.
Your loss had...changed you. Soon, you would be known as one of the coldest of killers. You would spare no one, and relished in the panicked screams of the players.
After all, these vermin weren't human, right? And, those worms were what took your adoptive father away from you.
Not once did you ever question this sentiment. Sure, sometimes you felt fleeting sympathy, but that had never been enough to stop you from pulling the trigger.
You were a robot. You were ruthless.
But then, you met her.
The first time you two had locked eyes was outside of the games.
You were in a convenience store, buying some snacks and a drink for yourself. Hell, you were so lost in your thoughts that you hadn't even realized it was your turn to pay until she cleared her throat.
"Hey, are you gonna pay or are you content with keeping your head above the clouds?"
Her voice was...soothing. It wasn't gentle by any means, but something about it stirred something in your heart.
You scrambled back, nearly knocking over the bag of makeup items behind you.
You turned to her, cheeks flushed, trying to regain some ounce of dignity, but it was to no avail. People never talked like that to you anymore; they were either too fearful or simply thought you weren't worth their time.
She tilted her head, lips curling into a grin as she leaned onto the table.
"So...are you going to pay or what?"
You only nodded, too fearful that if you spoke you would sound like a diseased frog. Without even looking back, you slammed the necessary payment onto the counter and hurried out the door.
The girl was only wearing a standard employee uniform.
So how did she look so damn pretty?
Despite that lackluster first meet, though, you had always come back. When you had entered the shop the next day, her eyebrows had furrowed in surprise and a grin danced across her lips.
She set aside the plastic cup she was holding and made her way to the register.
“I hope you don’t run off staring at clouds again,” She drawled, running a hand along the buttons of the register. “What can I get for you today, beautiful?”
How your ice cold heart didn’t explode at that very second was beyond you.
The days passed into weeks and soon, you found yourself visiting the store—her—every other day.
Eventually, you learned her name to be Se-Mi.
Se-Mi, Se-Mi, Se-Mi.
Her name dripped from your lips like the smoothest of honey.
You loved her piercings, her posture, and that damned smirk she always had.
She was so kind to you. You savored the quiet nights you'd spend with her out in the park, and whispered her name into your pillow before you slept.
Se-Mi had big, big dreams. Dreams of becoming a rockstar. Dreams of becoming a mechanic. Dreams of surviving this cruel world and making it out on top.
But, despite it all, you always kept her at an arm's length apart. After all, it was almost time for the games to begin. Soon, you would have to leave her to kill once again.
So, on the night before the first game would start, you left her a note on the convenience table where you two first met. You wrote of how you had to go, for your work was grueling and demanding, and you couldn't have her be caught in the crossfire.
You apologized for not meeting in person.
You never said goodbye. You couldn't. She needed to think of you as merely a fleeting presence, lest she catches feelings and finds out you're a killer.
You had planned on shooting your sorrows away.
So, imagine your surprise when you saw her wake up in the games.
Her? No, no, no, she couldn't be one of those disgusting vermin that plagued the streets. Se-Mi was so kind, so brave and headstrong.
She wasn't exactly well-off, but she couldn't have been struggling that much!
Surely, this was a mistake!
But, when you ran to the Front Man and asked him, he simply pulled out her file and handed it to you.
It was not a mistake. In fact, SeMi was drowning in debt.
"I trust this won't be a problem to you?" He asked, leaning back into his plush chair as he swirled the liquor in his cup.
You swallowed.
"Of course not, sir."
The Front Man stood still for a moment, then sighed.
“If you were anyone else, I would shoot you because clearly, this is a conflict of interest and we need to keep these games fair,” He finally said at last, shaking his head. “But…you have more than proved yourself to be loyal to us, to me. I trust you won’t abuse it?”
Your heart stopped when you felt his icy eyes on you. When you nodded, he smiled.
“Good, good. After all, I would hate to see you befall the same fate as 097.”
The Front Man motioned for you to leave.
“Do not fail me. 098.”
—
As you left the room, you could feel your heart racing. All of a sudden, it was so much harder to breathe, to walk.
A whirlwind of thoughts raced in your mind, though one drowned out the rest.
You wouldn't be kind to her. Your brief time with her meant nothing; after all, she wasn't human.
Right?
When you stepped into the area of the First Game, you could barely keep yourself upright. Your hands trembled, immediately flying to your face to make sure that your mask was still on. Your legs nearly buckled when you watched as Se-Mi enter the Red Light Green Light
The gun felt ten times heavier in your hands.
During the duration of the game, you would not shoot her.
Of course, you tried to tell yourself that you weren't giving her special treatment!
Everyone trembled in the games; if you shot everyone who shook slightly there would be no one left to inherit the prize! You were still impassive, it was still equal.
You didn't care about her. You never had.
But...like most lies people tell themselves, it came apart in the quiet of the night. Your fear for her echoed in every beat of your heart, in every gasping breath you took. You saw her lifeless body in the shadows, watched as bullets tore themselves into her skin and blood ran down her wounds.
Se-Mi, Se-Mi, Se-Mi. You couldn't let her die.
When the second game commenced, you could hardly suppress your nervousness as you watched her play Flying Stone.
It was a difficult game, after all.
And oh, when she passed through the finish line, you couldn't help but throw your hands in the air-much to the chagrin of your co-guards.
They stared at you questioningly, causing terror to sift in your heart.
During the third game, your eyes had met.
It was only for a split second, but feeling her gaze on you made you feel so...exposed.
Your cheeks grew hot and your hands felt slippery.
You loathed how she looked at you, like you were some sort of monster.
Though, you supposed she wasn't quite wrong.
When you watched as Player 230 and his lackey dragged another man away, leaving Se-Mi alone, it felt as if your heart was breaking. It took every willpower in your body not to shoot them on the spot for doing such a thing.
Though, that willpower still wasn't enough for you not to intervene in some way.
After making sure none of the guards were watching, you waved at her in the shadows. When her attention turned to you, you acted. Frantically, you pointed towards a trembling duo in the far right corner of the carousel.
The clock read ten seconds. If Se-Mi rushed, she could make it in time.
And, she did.
As you watched the door clamp shut behind her, a whirlwind of emotions appeared in your gut. What you just did couldn’t be chalked up to strictly following the rules.
You had helped her. You had tilted the odds to your favor by alerting her to safety. You had done the very thing the Front Man had warned you not to do.
So, why was it that you could barely summon any regret?
After Mingle had ended, you turned to leave, but stopped when you noticed Se-Mi trailing after you. Her arms were crossed together, and she chewed her bottom lip.
And then, she gave you the tiniest of nods.
Thank you, she mouthed.
You felt like your heart was exploding all over again.
For a brief moment, you thought that what you were doing was enough. You could oversee the games, and remain relatively impassive until Se-Mi was in danger, in which you could then give her a gentle nudge.
But then you remembered the next game.
The Special Game.
This time, instead of automated machinery, it was forks and fists. Instead of children’s games, it was pure, human violence. Instead of the threat of a bullet piercing through their skull, the only thing that would keep them going was their raw, unbridled rage for wanting to survive. Revenge would be enacted, and rivalries settled.
You couldn’t leave Se-Mi alone. There were too many unknown variables. Se-Mi never held back her tongue—it was one of the things you loved about her, in fact—but tonight it might also be what kills her.
Again, that terrible image of Se-Mi’s bloodied corpse popped into your mind. If she died, it would be all your fault because you let it happen.
Fear flooded your veins.
You won’t let that happen. You couldn’t lose someone else in this damned world. You couldn’t lose her.
That night, as the lights dimmed and the last of players were ushered from the bloodied bathrooms, you stared at the camera glued to the ceiling of your room. You knew someone was watching you on the other side, waiting.
Instinctively, you draped a blanket over your hands.
You couldn’t let them see how much they trembled.
Before you had meant Se-Mi, you never really cared about the camera in your walls. Sure, the lack of privacy was annoying, but in your mind, it also served as evidence to the higher ups that you were completely and utterly loyal to them.
In a way, they had saved you, after all.
But now?
The way the camera was angled—tilted so that it could observe every inch of your room—made your skin crawl.
Suddenly, it seemed as if the air was being choked out of your lungs. Obsessively, you grabbed your mask and held it up your face.
If you ran into the room and protected Se-Mi, you wouldn’t get another chance. The entire organization would be after you—he would be after you.
Were you really willing to betray everything you’ve known for a girl you’ve only known for months?
But then, you remembered the time you spent with her. You remember those starry nights, those quiet evenings, and those chaotic days that had you sweating with a stupid grin on your face.
Se-Mi made you feel alive. With her, you were no longer a robot, but a person, free laugh and giggle whenever you’d want without fear of losing face or risking a punishment.
It was then that intercom rang, its cheery tone a stark contrast to the indecision and uncertainty that broiled in your gut.
“Soldiers, please get ready,” It sang.
You let out a sigh and stood up, eyes trained to camera, to the Front Man.
Your decision was made.
—
The stomps of the other guards echoed across the corridors. You stood motionless, a gun in hand, as you pressed your hands against the cold concrete walls hiding you.
Soon, they would realize your absence and a search would be dispatched. But, for now, you were invisible.
Quietly, you slinked to a shadowy corner of the room. When you heard footsteps approaching, you ducked down and readied your gun.
Within moments, you saw the growing shadow of the manager. You crouched down, waiting for him to turn, then—
Without giving your doubt any time to fester, you leaped out of the shadows and pressed the gun to his head. Before he could shout, you shoved him against a wall and pulled out the pistol from his hoister.
“Move, and you die,” You snarl.
You watched as the man stammered, recognizing the tell-tale sign of fear alighting in his eyes through the mask.
“Y-you! What are you—“
You clamped his mouth shut.
“Shut up and take me to the players.”
The man trembled in your hands and a choked gasp escaped his lips. But, with another nudge of your gun, you got him to move.
When he started marching to the double decked doors, you smacked his back.
“Not there,” You whisper, grabbing his collar. “Take me through the tunnels.”
The man stiffened. His lips twisted into a question, then froze.
He nodded, and began walking the opposite direction.
From your adolescent years spent in the games, you had picked up upon your share of rumors. You heard of soldiers purposefully missing to harvest the organs of the eliminated, and you heard that there was a secret escape hatch hidden somewhere among the concrete walls.
But, what had drawn your attention the most, was the rumor that there was another way to enter the main lobby where the players slept.
A young, curious you had traversed through the halls and found that very corridor, though you soon realized that only a manager’s mask could open the door.
Now, an older and more jaded you stood in front of the same very doors, caressing the steel barrier with a new sense of urgency.
You had to move. Fast.
Already, you were hearing the beginnings of a brawl: A thump here, a curse there.
If you wanted any chance of saving Se-Mi, you had to act now.
Quickly, you shoved the man in front of the motion sensors and gestured for him to gaze into the center. It whirred softly, and then—
“Identity confirmed. Access granted.”
Letting out a shaky sigh, you knocked the manager out, and then ran into the tunnels. It was dimly lit, but you didn’t care.
The screams of fighting and flesh tearing bounced across the walls. At another time, you wouldn’t have cared, but right now, the sound terrified you to the bone
Soon, you saw a regular wooden door and immediately twisted the doorknob.
Immediately, you were met with the sight of utter brutality. Corpses littered the floors and blood soaked the survivors. Some screamed at the sight of you while others fell back, eyes trained on the gun in your hands.
“Where’s Se-“ You cut yourself off with a cough. “Where's Player 380?”
The woman closest to you fell to the floor.
“Do…do you mean Se-Mi?”
Before you could respond, you sensed footsteps approaching behind you. Without skipping a beat, you turned and coldly shot the two men creeping behind you.
They fell to the floor with a thud.
Then, you turned back and nodded.
The woman stared at you, more frazzled than ever. Instinctively, she stepped back.
“I…she should be over there,” She murmured, pointing to a corned of the room.
You nodded.
“Thank you.”
As you ran, you tried to ignore the surprised shouts and gasps from the other players. Most fell back when you aimed your gun at them, but some looked at you curiously.
You glanced back at the double doors, and cursed.
The cameras had no doubt exposed your location to the others. Already, guards were pouring in, guns at the ready.
You were running on borrowed time.
You rounded a corner and stayed near the shadows. Then, you heard a piercing scream that belonged to Se-Mi.
Gasping, you bolted towards the voice. There, you saw a man shoving her against the wall, sinking something into her neck.
You didn’t stop to think about it. You shot him in an instant.
Se-Mi fell to the floor, gasping for breath.
Blood was still flowing freely from the glass shard that lay pierced in her jugular.
Fuck, you would have to take care of that later.
You looked back. The gunshot had alerted the other guards, who were now running to you, screaming.
Running in raw adrenaline, you hoisted an injured Se-Mi into your arms and zig zagged across the pillars holding the bunk beds. Bullets flew by you and one grazed your shoulder.
You bit your lip, but didn’t make a noise.
“What are you doing?” Se-Mi demanded, fear lacing the edges of your tone. Her arms wrapped around your neck, angling her head in a way that rested against your shoulders.
You stiffened.
“I can’t let them hurt you.”
The second you whispered the words, you saw recognition flash in her eyes.
The beginning of your name was being murmured from Se-Mi, almost questionably, but the sound of footsteps approaching.
Cursing, you hid behind a pillar, and when their attention was drawn elsewhere you dashed to the corridor from where you entered.
The two of you were still breathing heavily when you set her down in the middle of the tunnel. You had locked the door, but you knew it was only a matter of time before they found you and broke in.
Still, you couldn’t help but ask, “A…are you hurt anywhere, Se-Mi?”
She stood there for a moment, rubbing her hands together. Her lip piercing glinted in the dull light, and for a few seconds you were enchanted by her. Blood clung onto her tracker, and you knew she hadn’t showered in days, but that still didn’t stop your heart from fluttering.
And then, she laughed.
Startled, you stepped back.
“Am I hurt?” She wheezed, and you immediately cringed at your question. “Of course I’m fucking hurt. I have this bitch of a wound on my jugular and I’m covered with cuts. Everything hurts like hell!”
Despite yourself, a blush raged on your cheeks.
“I-I, okay, that was a stupid question-“
“Terrible, even,” She chimed in, the faintest of smirks curling at the edges of her lips.
You nodded, “Yes, terrible and dumb but-“
You gestured towards her legs. “Are there any that would hinder you from running?”
Se-Mi frowned.
“No, not really.”
You blew out a breath.
“Good, because if we want to escape this place we need to be able to move. Fast.”
Gently, you helped pry the shard from her neck. It had stopped bleeding now, but it wouldn’t take much to reopen the wound.
“We have to get going, now,” You muttered, and started marching towards the other end of the hall.
“Wait,” Se-Mi hissed, tugging you back. Her voice was softer now, but still held conviction. “Aren’t you going to…explain yourself?”
You stopped, dread pooling in your gut.
When you turned to look at her, you couldn’t meet her gaze.
“I…fuck,” You glanced at the door, fearful that it would break open at any moment. “Se-Mi, we should do this later.”
You swallowed.
“I promise that when we get out of here, I’ll come clean and explain everything. But, right now we need to hurry and run while they still can’t find us.”
Se-Mi stepped closer. She laced your fingers together and flicked your mask.
“Can you still take this off,” She murmured, tugging you closer. “I want to see you. Not some…pink clown trying to cosplay the Nintendo loading screen.”
You let out a snort. “Pink clowns? I’m rather offended.”
Se-Mi smiled coyly. “Don’t spit on your luck, honey, that was my nicest of comparisons. And besides.”
She paused, her face growing softer. “I want to see you. I…I missed your face.”
That blush on your cheeks was now a raging inferno.
But, before you could reply, she added quickly, “Getting that letter really hurt my feelings, you know? I need to see your face again to make it easier for me to imagine giving you a nice, clean punch after all you did.”
You bowed your head. Despite the mirth, you could sense genuine pain hiding underneath. You knew you had a lot to make up for.
“I…understand.”
Tenderly, you unclasped your mask. Then, you slid down the jet black face covering, revealing your face to her.
Se-Mi gasped softly.
“It really is you,” She whispered.
Se-Mi cupped your face carefully, as if she was worried you were merely an illusion in her mind. You leaned into her touch, humming.
And then you felt soft lips on your own.
A gasp left your lips at the sudden contact, but then she kissed you again and suddenly all your thoughts vanished.
Roughly, she pinned you against the wall and laced your fingers with hers. The noise that left your lips was embarrassing.
When she finally pulled away, you were gasping for air. Your cheeks were blazing, and you were sure even the tips of your ears and neck were tinted with pink.
Se-Mi smirked at you, and pulled you by the collar. Just then, you heard pounding on the walls.
“You sure have a lot to make up for me once we’re safe,” She cooed. “Put your mask back on and lead the way, beautiful.”
You nodded dumbly, and started running.
A/N: Oh my God. I still can’t believe this ask grew so much, haha! If you guys want a part 2, please do not hesitate to let me know! I hope you liked it!

18 & 21!
hi kiarra!!
18. what was your hardest fic to title?
usually i have a title in mind when i write a fic or i find it before i finish but i think With this heart of mine that’s guilty not remorseful was hardest bc i have a lot of titles that i want to use for hunger games au, specifically ones for solangelo interactions, but then i heard Never Love an Anchor by the crane wives and that song encapsulated the moment of their relationship in this fic, so i went with a lyric from that, and. i think it sums up the fic pretty well lol
21. what is your favorite dialogue you’ve written?
this is hard! some of my favorites aren’t like. fully realized yet so i’ll share something i have published lol
i feel like everything has been from this fic lol but from WTHOMTGNR ,
“You know, if you wanted me so badly you could’ve touched me first, Aidoneus”, Will teased, smiling brightly like a cat that got the canary.
“Shut up. Shut up,” Nico repeated, flustered. “ That’s not what I- Never mind, forget I said anything,” Nico grabbed a cushion from the sofa and whacked it into Will’s face.
honorable mention to nico calling starwars galaxy wars just to make will laugh in And When I Touch You I Feel Happy Inside

Broken
Thank you anon for this request!
An I Know Who You Are one-shot
Pairing: Joel Miller x f!reader
Summary: Joel finds out you got hurt on patrol.
Warnings: Joel POV, language, allusions to smut, descriptions of injuries/blood, amnesia, angst
WC: 2.5K
When Joel had knocked on Maria's door that morning, he still wore a small smile on his face as images of your perfect morning flashed across his eyes. The way your eyes rolled to the back of your head when he flexed his hips, the breathy sounds you made in his ear, how tight you felt wrapped around his cock.
At that point in his life, he assumed he was not meant for happiness. He had been through too much. The world threw everything it had at him and he crumbled. He let it ruin him and forge him into a cold, distant shell of who he once was.
And then he met you.
You were like a beam of light in an otherwise dark world. A breath of fresh air in a prison cell. A beautiful, yellow flower that grew amongst the disastrous landscape surrounding him. He couldn't help but be drawn to you. To want to lose himself in you, if you'd let him. And against all odds, you wanted him too.
You wanted him, too.
What were the chances? Finding love in the world before was nearly impossible. Once he found you, he began to wonder for the first time if all his suffering had meaning. If everything terrible and rotten that happened to him was all pushing him along on a path to find you.
Maria swung the door open with Violet wrapped around her hip and she grinned.
"You look pretty chipper this morning."
Joel immediately wiped the smile off his face and replaced it with a frown. He preferred to reserve that side of himself just for you.
"Tommy said y'need the dresser looked at?"
She nodded and stepped to the side so he could enter. He toed off his boots and glanced around. Jackson didn't have much, but the community did well with what they had, including toys for kids. Last he heard, the town had a monthly rotation of toys for all the little ones so everyone got to have a turn with the best ones.
He made a mental note to look for some new ones when he was outside the walls next.
"It's Violet's dresser," Maria explained, shifting his niece on her hip and leading him towards the back of the house. "Caught her climbing it last week, nearly gave me a heart attack."
She flicked on the light to Violet's room and made a face when she looked at the broken drawers.
"Well, better the dresser broke than the kid," he said, crouching down to get a better look.
"Do you think you can fix it?"
He gave the other drawers a tug, testing them to make sure they weren't damaged as well before standing with a groan.
"I'll have to make new drawers, this wood's busted, but yeah. Anythin' that's broken, I can fix it."
Maria gasped excitedly and looked at Violet, eyes wide and mouth spread into a huge smile. "Did you hear that? Uncle Joel's gonna fix your dresser, baby!"
He couldn't help but smile when Violet said, "thank you," with some prompting from Maria, of course.
"You're welcome. Just don't go climbin' on it when I'm done."
Joel spent the rest of the morning at the woodshed collecting scraps of two by fours that he could use to create two dresser drawers from scratch. At first, he thought he was in over his head. In a different life with all the right tools, he could have done this task without breaking a sweat.
"'Anythin' that's broken, I can fix it'," he scoffed, repeating his earlier words under his breath with a shake of his head. "The hell was I thinkin'?"
But he used what he had at his disposal, even if it meant using an axe to cut the right pieces of wood for the job instead of an electric saw. With a little patience and some thinking outside the box, he finally collected all the supplies he needed in a wheelbarrow and began his trek back to Tommy's house.
"Hey, before you get started, come in and have something to eat," Maria called from the window. He nodded and shrugged off his flannel, leaving it draped over the wheelbarrow before heading inside.
When he walked into the kitchen, he was greeted with a sandwich and some lemonade on the kitchen table next to Violet, who was nibbling on some fruit and toast and singing along to some children's songs playing from a radio.
"It's all I can get her to eat lately," Maria explained when she said down across from him. "She's growing into a picky eater and it's freaking killing me."
"Mama, bad word," Violet warned with her little chubby finger pointed straight up in the air. Joel chuckled and took a bite of his sandwich.
"I didn't say a bad word, baby, it just sounded like a bad word," she said, then once Violet looked away, she rolled her eyes at Joel and mouthed she hears everything.
He ate mostly in silence, half listening to Violet's music, half thinking about how he was going to tackle the next phase of his project when Maria spoke again.
"So, you think you guys'll end up having one of these?" she asked, casually nodding towards Violet. He glanced up at her in surprise before shifting his eyes to his niece.
"Uh, well..." he nervously scratched the back of his neck as he considered her question. It wasn't something you hadn't talked about but he had been thinking a lot more about it since Violet was born. His mind was screaming absolutely not, it's not safe, it's careless and irresponsible. He couldn't protect Sarah, how could he protect a newborn or keep a toddler from having a tantrum and attracting raiders or clickers?
But then Violet squealed with delight when a berry squished between her fingers and he felt that pull in his chest that he'd been trying to ignore for the past year.
"Dunno. Maybe one day," he finally told her.
"Gonna make an honest woman of her first?" Maria asked as she cleaned up Violet's hands.
"Don't think that's really our thing," Joel replied. And it wasn't. Well, not really. He had a hell of a time trying to settle you down in the first place. He couldn't imagine what the idea of marriage would do to you. And that didn't bother him. At this point, it didn't really matter. You were his, and he was yours, and that's just how it would always be.
After he helped Maria clean up lunch, he headed back outside. The sun was shining but the temperature was comfortable while he worked. And once he had all his supplies and a plan, everything came together rather quickly. Which was good because you and Tommy would be due back from patrol any minute and he very much wanted to relax with you the rest of the day and maybe tend to the garden if either of you had any energy left.
He was just finishing up the drawers and about to take them inside when he heard Tommy shouting his name. Before he even turned around, Joel's blood ran cold. He knew that tone. Something was wrong.
He swiveled around, his face already ghostly pale, knowing and bracing for the inevitable yet he still held out hope and swept his gaze around, hoping and fucking praying he would spot you.
"Joel, c'mon," Tommy panted, swinging his arm as he began to jog back in the opposite direction. Joel grabbed his blue flannel and raced after him, his blood pressure skyrocketing.
"Is she bit?"
Tommy shook his head and Joel felt his heart slow, but it was short lived when he saw the look on his brother's face.
"Is she hurt?"
"She hit her head," Tommy said, pushing people out of the way as they made their way to the infirmary. "She's awake but somethin' ain't right."
"What'dya mean? If she's awake after a head injury, that's gotta be good, right?"
Tommy cast him a forlorn look as they reached the steps of the building. "She can't remember."
Joel frowned. "Can't remember what?"
Tommy's eyes shifted around as they paused for a moment on the stairs. "She can't remember... any of it. The outbreak. This town... nothin'."
Joel swallowed and dropped his chin to his chest. He was grateful you were alive, grateful you weren't seriously injured, but this? This was not something he expected.
"So you're sayin' she don't remember me?"
Tommy's silence was all he needed to know. Joel's chest tightened and he felt his legs begin to shake. This wasn't real. He just saw you a few hours ago. He just fucked you a few hours ago. He was just talking to Maria about your future together... how could this be happening?
"Maybe..." he began, then pinched his eyes shut when he felt the swell of anxiety rise and squeeze his throat. "Maybe she just needs to see me."
"Joel, we gotta be careful 'bout this," Tommy warned, "she's real spooked. I almost couldn't get her to come back with me. She was talkin' 'bout goin' home and findin' her family-"
Joel's face crumpled. "You're fuckin' with me, right?" he croaked, blinking back tears. Tommy averted his gaze and shook his head, giving Joel a moment. He collapsed on the bottom step and hung his head between his knees, trying to focus on taking deep breaths and clearing his vision, but he could feel it. He felt it all those years ago when Sarah died in his arms and he felt it again: the shock that melted into despair which inevitably morphed into white hot rage.
"Joel..." Tommy said lowly, picking up on the shift in his brother's eyes.
"I gotta see her."
He stood and spun around so fast, Tommy hardly had time to react. Joel was halfway down the hallway through the building, kicking in all the doors before Tommy caught up, shouting at him to stop, begging him to slow down.
Then Nick rounded the corner, spotting Joel and Tommy.
"Stop!" Nick said firmly, but Joel just shoved him out of the way and barreled forward. He spotted the exam room that had a sliver of light on underneath the door and he swung it open.
His eyes scanned you up and down, assessing you for obvious injury before looking you in the eye. You appeared fine. You looked just like yourself, like nothing had happened. He didn't even see a mark on your head from the fall.
Joel felt Nick and Tommy rush up behind him and pause, no doubt studying the two of you to see how you would react. Your eyes finally left him to look questioningly over his shoulder and Joel whispered your name.
You angrily brought your gaze back to him and furrowed your brow. "What?" you snapped.
Joel swallowed again but remained perfectly still, refusing to believe you couldn't remember him.
"You remember Joel. Right, sugar?" Tommy asked gently.
Joel knew the answer before you even shook your head. He could see it in your eyes now. They were cold and closed off and scared. You never, ever looked at him like that. Not even after he told you about the hospital.
"Is it permanent?" Joel asked Nick. When the doctor began to give what he considered a bullshit answer, the anger simmering in his veins was lit on fire. He hauled Nick off the ground and yelled something in his face but for the life of him he couldn't remember what. He was seeing red and nothing else was getting through.
That is, until Tommy shouted, let 'em go, you're scarin' her! Then he let Nick go and twisted around towards you. His brows pitched up with concern when he saw you curled up next to the bed, rocking back and forth. Without even thinking, he took a step forward to help you, but you quickly jutted a hand out.
"Don't come near me."
He froze on the spot, speechless. His heart shattered in his chest at the fear in your eye, fear he put there. He couldn't go back to a life without you, he needed you.
"I'm sorry, baby."
And you flinched. You flinched at the term of endearment and the crack in his chest grew so wide, he was afraid he would fall in.
Tommy's voice broke the tension in the room. "Maybe we should give you two a minute."
Instantly, you were panic stricken. Your eyes widened and you scrambled to pull yourself off the floor. Instead of looking to him for comfort, you were looking at Tommy. Begging his brother not to leave him alone with you.
Joel stepped back and sagged against the wall, his eyes fixed on the ground as he tried his best to come to terms with what was happening. All he wanted to do was pull you into his arms and take you home and it was fucking killing him.
To Tommy's credit, he tried to explain who Joel was, that he wouldn't ever harm you, not in a million years, but your chest heaved and your hands shook with fear anyway.
"Look what he just did! How can you say that?"
"Because he loves you!"
The room grew still while you panted for air and tried to process the information Tommy just gave you.
"Is that true?"
He assumed you must have been talking to him so he nodded, still unwilling to look up.
You began to apologize but the pieces of his heart were drifting further and further apart. He was losing you and he had no idea what to do.
When Nick encouraged Tommy's idea to take you home to your familiar surroundings, Joel finally looked up with a little bit of hope.
"What else can we do?" he asked Nick, knowing full well he sounded too eager and hopeful. Nick began to suggest finding objects or keepsakes with sentimental value that could trigger your memory to return, an idea that gave him a spark of optimism, but when he looked back at you, you immediately looked away.
"Can I talk to you?" you asked Tommy. The two brothers stared at one another, communicating silently. Joel knew what you were going to say, Tommy knew what you were going to say: you didn't want to go home with him. And to make matters somehow worse, you were looking to his own damn brother for comfort and safety.
Safety from him.
The thought had his blood boiling and his teeth grinding, but he knew he had to control his temper or else he would make things infinitely worse.
"I'll be outside," he said gruffly, then stormed down the hall towards the lobby.
He took advantage of the few precious minutes he had to collect his fucking thoughts and think. He couldn't let his anger get the best of him. He needed to get that under control if this was going to work. And he needed to be patient. You were meant to be and he would just have to make sure you realized that again.
He took a deep, steadying breath and closed his eyes.
He could do this. He would do whatever it took for however long it took.
Anythin' that's broken, I can fix it.

Hello, here to request a lil somethin somethin (since you said you’d kiss anyone who did ;))
I really enjoyed the fic u posted with the sick MC soooo I was thinking abt something with either Sylus or Xavier where MC has a secret sketchbook where she draws pretty portraits of him but then he finds out by chance and how would he react?
muah
sylus x reader
decided to do sylus since I know him a bit better
thank you for requesting ♡
I sat cross legged on the floor in front of Sylus’s room, a sketchbook balanced delicately in my lap.
The scratching of my pencil against the paper was the only sound I could focus on as I sketched the corner of his eye.
I had filled pages and pages of this sketchbook with him. Something I could look at while I was in Linkon away from Sylus.
The door to his room was slightly open, I could still hear his voice, giving orders to someone through his phone. I took this chance to keep drawing his face while he wasn’t looking.
The pages of my sketchbook were filled with these little moments. Moments I stole when he wasn't paying attention. He didn't know, of course. I never intended for him to find out.
Suddenly, I heard his door fling open, making me move in a panic I slammed the sketchbook shut, but my fingers fumbled over the pages. I became clumsy in my rush to hide it.
The door to his room flung open without warning, and I jolted, nearly dropping the sketchbook as my heart leapt into my throat.
I clutched the book to my chest, as though holding it there could somehow make it invisible.
“Oh hey Sylus..”
He was already walking toward me.
"What's this?" His voice was calm, but there was a glint of curiosity in his eyes.
He tilted his head slightly, that smirk of his tugging at the corners of his lips. I knew he wasn't going to let it go now.
"Nothing.”I stammered, my hands clutching the sketchbook harder as if I could somehow keep it from him.
His eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous sort of amusement playing across his features as he approached me. Before I could react, he used his evol to snatch the book from my grasp with ease.
"Sylus, give it back!" I reached out instinctively, but it was too late. He held the book out of my reach, flipping it open with a flick of his fingers.
I could only watch. I stood frozen as his eyes scanned the pages.
"You've been drawing me.” he said finally, his voice low but steady. It wasn't a question.
I chuckled nervously after being caught red handed.
“It’s not what it’s looks like. That’s not you.”
“Oh? That’s not me? “ He turned the sketchbook to my direction and showed me an unfinished drawing of him and Mephisto.
“Must be someone else who looks exactly like me and has a crow by his side.”
I swallowed hard, unsure of how to respond. "I was drawing Mephisto you just got in the way.” That was a stupid thing to say.
“Yeah, whatever you can say to make yourself feel better, Sweetie.”
Sylus moved to the doorway, the sketchbook still in his hands. He kept flipping back and forth through the pages, his eyes scanning each portrait with a sharp gaze, though I couldn't exactly tell what he was thinking.
He closed the book with a quiet snap and looked down at me, that familiar smirk playing at the corner of his lips.
"You've captured me rather well.” he said, his tone deceptively casual.
As he stared at the sketchbook cover I took the chance to snatch it away from his grasp.
But then he raised the sketchbook way too high - basically dangling it out of my reach.
“Nice try, Sweetie.”
"Sylus!" I protested, half laughing but also genuinely desperate to get the book back.
He arched a brow, his smirk deepening as he watched me from above. "What? You don't think I'll keep this for myself?"
"You're going to give that back." I said, though the smile tugging at my lips made it hard to sound serious.
I shot to my feet, reaching for the sketchbook, but of course, he held it effortlessly above his head.
Sylus was tall, and he knew exactly how to use it to his advantage. I stood on my toes, stretching my arms as far as they would go. He didn't even have to move. He just stood there, his dark eyes watching me with amusement as I tried in vain to reach it.
He tilted his head, as if he was considering.
"Hmm... I'm not so sure." His voice had that playful edge now, the kind that told me he was fully enjoying my frustration.
"You've been keeping these drawings hidden from me. Perhaps I should keep the sketchbook hidden from you too."
I jumped a little, trying to swipe it from his hand, but he simply raised his arm higher, looking impossibly tall and completely unreachable.
"Not fair.” I huffed.
He chuckled, his deep voice vibrating through the room. "I don't remember agreeing to play fair." His teasing tone made my eye twitch.
"What do I have to do to get it back?"
His gaze softened just a fraction, though his smirk remained.
"You'll have to earn it." he said, lowering his arm slightly, as if teasing me with the possibility that I might reach it.
"I drew those for you.” I pointed out, trying to reason with him, though it was clear he was having too much fun to give in so quickly.
"Which is why I should keep them, don't you think?" He raised the sketchbook just as I lunged for it again, barely missing it by an inch. His smirk deepened yet again.
I let out an exaggerated groan, rubbing my forehead dramatically. "Sylus, please!"
After another beat of silence, he finally relented but not without one final move. He dropped the sketchbook just enough for me to almost grab it, then caught me off guard by wrapping an arm around my waist, pulling me close as I stretched out for it. His breath was warm against my ear as he leaned down slightly, the sketchbook still just out of reach.
"If you want it…" he whispered, "ask nicely."
I swallowed, rolling my eyes
"Please?”
He chuckled softly, his grip around my waist loosening just enough to let me slip out of his hold. With a triumphant grin, I snatched the sketchbook from his hand before he could change his mind, holding it close to my chest as if I had won some great victory.
Sylus watched me, his smirk softening into something more amused, more tender.
"Do it again.” he said, with a casual grace.
“Do what again?” I looked up at him confused.
"Keep drawing me."
I stared at him for a moment, trying to process his words. His eyes never leaving mine.
His lips twitched into a small smile. "I’m yours to draw, it seems."
I smiled softly, the tension in my chest easing.
As he turned to leave, he paused at the door, glancing over his shoulder.
"Next time," he said, a small smile tugging at his lips, "ask me to sit for you."
Then, with a final glance, he turned and left the room.
I stared at the book in my hands unable to hide the smile spreading across my face.
if you requested already dw! I’ll be uploading your requests soon ♡ tysm
