#god that took so long but it was SO WORTH IT

Note
I had a whole long response typed out and I had to step away and I came back and it was gone so Iâm going to have to abridge it because it was a masterpiece of a response and I canât recreate it. In short elden ring lore is stupid itâs one selfcest god that crafted a bunch of incest demigods (curing mogh and the cursed half brother). The âdungeonsâ you speak of are mostly just caves and mines with a few legacy dungeons. Some of which are more annoying than interesting. Saying itâs âvisually stunningâ or whatever is stupid youâre comparing a current game to one over a decade old that honestly still looks great. But even so, simply comparing visuals is hardly a fair argument. Your pot manâs quest wasnât sad it was stupid. Whack him out of a few holes and then shatter his ass in azula. I felt nothing doing it. Ranni and her ending were at least interesting and her as a character I actually liked. And she lead to the moonlight sword which is a staple of the games. Yes I know bloodborne and dark souls have insane lore but itâs actually good and worth looking into. Your beloved elden ring locations are big empty areas where you will either just wander around doing nothing or get annihilated by a rune bear or T. rex bird every 2 minutes. Thereâs no engagement. No imagination there. Skyrim had replayability. Multiple quest lines for factions or the open playability to just wander around and make your own story. Iâm sorry you lack and and all ability to think outside of a stupidly structured game. The absolutely godawful takes Iâve been getting inundated with the past couple days are avail itâs bullshit I really expected better from all you stupid fucks. You remind me of when I was in highschool and idiots would say halo was better than Metroid because it âdefined a genreâ completely disregarding what came before. Or that master chief could ever take Samus in a fight simply because he was the newer guy and all they knew. Youâre lucky my original reblog got deleted and Iâm getting yelled at and this is all I could say back to you otherwise Iâd have much better words than youâre a bumbling fucking moron with absolute shit tastes. Go choke on your shit opinions and enjoy your garbage ass fucking game. (Iâll update this post as I remember more things to add on if I do).
When I was mentioning the shitty locations I think I forgot to specifically name drop caelid. Canât forget FUCKING CAELID SPECIFICALLY.
Also you think the only interesting location in DS1 is he dukes archive?! Motherfucker we got ash lake, the seat of the FUCKING MULTIVERSE. Weâve got, quite literally, hell, izalith. Oh and I donât know how you got to the archives without passing through anor londo. Because you CAN NOT tell me that place wasnât fucking stunning. And AND AND the way they BUILT the locations. Seeing izalith and ash lake from the tomb of giants. That not only has LORE REASONS but if you look at the 3D rendering of the maps IT ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY FUNCTIONS AS SUCH. Like literally the world building is top notch and youâre going to downplay ALL OF THIS?!?! Motherfucker get your fucking head out of your motherfucking anus and open your shit crusted eyes at the marvel you downplayed to âone interesting areaâ. And on top of that âoh boo hop the pot man was so sadâ fucking SIF AND ARTORIAS. You want sad fucking...just fucking...now that I took a moment to re skim your response to me now Iâm just fucking angry with you you fucking idiot among fucking idiots.
Like really your shit ass Fucking tastes about skyrim are bad enough but to lump bloodborne lore in with elden ring lore and then shit on dark souls world building?? Motherfucker I will physically fight you to the death over this one Iâm not even messing around. Thatâs 3 real games youâve dragged through the dirt defending the elden trash heap. Fuck all of you.
elder scrolls or elden ring. there is a right answer
Listen I love skyrim, but you have to be a bumbling fucking moron if you think it's better than Elden Ring!!!!
#Elden ring is shit.#Skyrim is better.#Donât even drag Bloodborne into this that one is better than both of them.#Even on this one I had good tags and they all got deleted.#Basically you and everyone else the past 2 days have some absolutely bullshit ass fucking takes.#And I canât fix stupid.#So stay fucking stupid I guess.#Enjoy your shitty fucking game.#Do both far away from me please.#Fuck all of you Motherfuckers I fucking hate all of you.#Hating elden ring isnt fucking enough anymore I also fucking hate elden ring fans.#Fuck all of you.#Iâm enraged.

Drunk Chan confessing to you
Warnings: Cursing as always. Chan's Pov. Reader is gender neutral. Chan is whipped! Chan thinks reader is dating someone. Childhood friends to lovers. Misunderstanding with a happy ending. Chan is drunk but not that much, more like tipsy. word count-3.4k A/N- Sorry this took me ages to write but I hope you'll enjoy reading. Reblogs and feedback are greatly appreciated.
My masterlist.
If you like my work you can buy me coffeeâ¤ď¸
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/a1ed60328dc9fbfd6f427c259b946a7f/ed8c339a2c170825-96/s540x810/4570bb0dd7f9d4c212878de33899217332d6aa89.jpg)
Chan felt like he was about to lose his mind and weirdly enough it wasnât because one of the boys did something to either piss him of or to just to be a general menace. No his distress was caused by a whole another thing or better say someone. How in the world was it possible for someone look this gorgeous, so ethereal and breathtaking on a regular fucking Friday? Â
He knew he was whipped for you. He made peace with that simple yet not so simple fact years ago. He also knew that he found you absolutely beautiful. Whenever he tried to think of something beautiful your image always popped up before anything else. It was simple as that for him, like the fact that the sky was blue, the grass was green and you were definition of a word bewitching for him.Â
Maybe it was a little bit of alcohol he had drunk earlier affecting him, maybe he just fell for you even harder right now (if it was even possible). But right now, as he watched you talk with the boys about god knows about what, he thought that you were the definition of the word beauty. He didnât know if he wanted to stare at you for as long as possible and bask in your beauty and presence of if he should go to Hyunjin and ask him to teach him paint so that he could capture just how beautiful you looked. But knowing himself, even if it was possible to capture all of it on paper... Chan liked to think of himself as a selfless person, or at least he tried to be, but he was an honest man. If it was possible to capture how captivating you truly were, he would just keep it to himself, he would become the most selfish man in the world. And maybe he was. All he could think about right now was that your attention wasnât on him, that you paid your mind to someone other than him. It didnât matter that that âsomeoneâ was his friends, the people he considered his family. He wanted all your attention on him, he wanted you to look only at him. God he was losing his mind. When did he become so needy and desperate for your attention? He felt pathetic, how would you even look at him when he acted this way? He reminded himself something he did for years now. That you deserved way better than him, you deserved someone who would give you the world, someone who would cherish you the way you deserved. Even though he would do absolutely anything for you, even though he would make impossible possible for you, even though he would let the world burn for you, you deserved someone who would do even more for you and more importantly always be there for you. He wasnât worthy of you not with the relationship he had with his work. God, it killed him whenever he had to cancel plans with you and couldnât be there for you because he had to work. As much as he loved what he did for a living, the same love turned into hate because it kept him away from you. There were even times when he considered to just fuck it and quit, but what would he even do in life? There was literally nothing else he could see himself as. Without a job without a passion what worth did he have? What could he do? Â
God, he felt pathetic. He was thinking about all this as he stood a chance with you in the first place. You always had looked at him and saw him as a friend. Maybe there was a moment there and there where it seemed that there could be something more. But your relationship although the years had been strictly platonic. He had given up on hoping for something more years ago.Â
He had come with peace with the fact that he couldnât be something more for you. Maybe it was for the good. You could live your life to the fullest. He was fine loving you from afar.Â
God all he could think about was how cute you looked. Your hair was still messy, because you rushed here when you noticed that all of them were quite drunk when you called to check on them, and you were wearing that way too big hello kitty hoodie with the matching black pants Chan got you as a joke that you kept wearing because it was really comfortable. Your whole look today screamed that you only cared about being comfortable and that you were grumpy that you had to get up in the middle of the night to get your silly friends. Still in Chanâs eyes you looked like you hung the stars yourself.Â
 God he was obsessed with you. There was no better way to describe the feeling really. Even now the moment your gaze shifted to him and you gave him that sweet smile... He felt like he couldnât breathe. His body felt warm all over yet he felt his lungs were frozen in place.Â
âHow are you feeling Channie?â You asked him with that sweet voice of yours. In seconds his mind was swarmed with all the possible lyrics he could use to write yet another song dedicated Soley for you that he kept hidden in his laptop. Â Well, hidden was a nice word. All of the boys knew of that file and Chan was more than few times relentlessly teased for his crush on you. They kept pestering that he should just confess, or at least show you all the songs he had written for you and let them do the job for him, but he just couldnât.Â
âBetter now that youâre here.â He slipped before he could even stop himself. What if he made you feel uncomfortable? You two flirted from time to time, but lately he had this rising suspicion that you were seeing someone and he wasnât sure how he felt about that. All he knew was that he would rather die than make you uncomfortable with his silly little crush.Â
Thankfully for him and his heart you chuckled and immediately his whole heart was filled with joy. âWell, Iâm glad. Iâm here to bring you home, because little birdie here told me that you had been asking for me all night.â You mused all sweetly. Chanâs head immediately snapped towards Minho, who grinned at him all triumphant. He would have to have a word with him later.Â
âGod I will kick his ass later. You didnât have to come. I had no idea he told you to get here. You must have been tired.â Chan only stopped rambling when he felt you place your hand on his shoulder. You looked at him with eyes shining brighter than all the stars combined. It was his words yes and he would stand by it.Â
âCalm down Channie.â  Your voice was calm, soothing. If there was one thing he had to choose to listen to till the end of his life he would, without a thought, choose your voice. Your kind, beautiful, soothing voice. He loved whenever you showered him with affection and complemented him. Hell, love wasnât strong enough of a word to describe how he felt, he was on the cloud nine whenever you said even something sweet to him. But the thing about your voice and presence to him was that, even if you werenât complimenting him or just being sweet. Even if you were just telling him about how your day went, he felt this serenity, this calmness. Whenever he was with you his mind always just shut down. It went silent. And he could actually enjoy living in a moment and enjoy his life to the fullest. Would there even be time when he would be able to convey in words just what you meant to him? Maybe then he would actually stop and be proud of himself as a lyricist.Â
âDo you want me to be here?â Your teasing tone quickly bought him back to reality.Â
âWhat kind of question is that? Of course I do!â Chan was quick to protest which made you chuckle. God there it was, that beautiful sound. Suddenly everything felt all right.Â
âWhipped!â He heard Minho cough into his fist. He would really have to kick his ass later.Â
Chan was about to ask you about how you were, how your day went, mundane stuff like that when he heard your phone ring. Â âSorry Channie one second.â You quickly checked your phone. The slight furrow of your brows was quickly replaced by a gentle smile. You quickly raised your finger to give you time and went a few steps away to talk on your phone. He couldnât really decipher what you were saying to that person but your voice... You sounded do genuinely happy talking to that person. Â
The ringing in his ears raised in volume when he caught you call that person âbabeâ. Did he fully lose you? Did you really start seeing someone? Was the distance between you so big that you didnât even tell him you were seeing someone? Did he mess up so bad that you didnât even feel comfortable confiding in him?Â
Too caught up with the turmoil in his head he didnât even notice for a moment a figure approach you. When he brought his gaze on you, you were talking with some man. Sweet smile adorning your face, your eyes shining brightly. Was it that someone? You werenât talking on the phone anymore. The way you were talking to him you clearly knew him. Â It also didnât help him at all that the man you were talking to was objectively really handsome. There was no way he could compete with a person like him. God, he felt like a joke. There wouldnât even be a competition. He should be able to face reality now. He had spent years helplessly yearning for you. He should know by now that he didnât stand a chance with you. God, he felt like crying.Â
The rest of the night was a blur. He didnât even remember how he got into your car. Or the road you took. The last thing he remembered was how he saw you hug that man goodbye. Good thing that man wasnât accompanying you that day and he returned to his friend group shortly after. He wasnât sure he was ready to be introduced to your boyfriend. Not that he would ever be.Â
It was funny how one moment you could be having time of your life and the next second it could be ruined by one single thing. Chan barely felt like talking, let alone smile or anything of that sort. And as it turned out his mood was contagious. The whole ride was quiet. Chan couldnât even remember the time where all of them were in the same space and it was actually quiet.Â
However, why you were silent and didnât talk at all was a mystery to him. Did that man upset you? If that was the case, he would gladly murder someone. No one got to mess with you, not on his watch.Â
âChannie?â Your voice brought him back to reality. He must have zoned out again. That two extra shots he drank as you talked with that man really messed with his head. As if he wasnât already tipsy enough. âAre you okay?â You sounded worried. Was it this apparent he was sad? What was he even supposed to say?Â
âIâm just tired.â He managed to mumble out after a second or two.Â
âWhat do you think about sleeping over at my house? Â We havenât hung out in a while. I can not be deprived of my best friend for too long you know that.â You whined all cutely making his heart flutter uncontrollably. But he quickly got reminded of the fact that you were not his. And the small smile that wanted to break through got quickly replaced by a deeper frown.Â
âI donât think we should.â It brought him physical pain to utter these words to you.Â
Now it was your time to frown. âWhy is that?â God, you sounded so sad. It killed something inside him knowing he was the one causing you pain. You quickly backed down. âI mean if you donât feel like it itâs totally fine. Weâre almost at your house too. Weâll be there in few minutes.â You laughed awkwardly.Â
God he hated this. Since when did things get weird between you? When did things change? Would things get even weirder and would the distance between you two grow as your relationship with your new boyfriend progressed?Â
âWouldnât your boyfriend mind?â He hated how he couldnât ask one question without mumbling like a sad little kid.Â
Without even saying a word you quickly pulled over and turned on hazard lights.Â
âChannie what the actual fuck?â You tried to sound calm but your voice betrayed you.Â
âWhat? What did I do wrong?â This was weird, he was the one (okay unfairly, yes, but) upset with you, how were you the one scolding him? What did he even do? He didnât remember upsetting you. Did he forget something? Did he do something and then forget?Â
âWhat did you do wrong? Dude what is up with that question?â You sounded so appalled like he asked the most ridiculous question ever. âWhat boyfriend?âÂ
âYou broke up?â When did you even manage to do that? Werenât you all lovey-dovey with someone minutes ago? Did you break up with him via text? No, you wouldnât do that right? Also why would you break up with him? The dude seemed perfect.Â
âThere was no one to begin with?â You stared him for a second, you seemed unsure of something. âIs this why you were sulky all evening? You think Iâm dating someone?âÂ
Did he misread the whole situation? He didnât right? He didnât just make an absolute fool out of himself right?Â
God he did. He wanted to dig a hole to crawl into and never get out. He really felt like crying now.Â
âIâm not dating anyone.â You sighed out after few seconds of numbing silence. âGod Channie what even made you think that?âÂ
Chan hadnât even noticed he started fidgeting with his fingers. He only stopped when you placed your hand on top of his, only then he was able to feel the sting or the small self inflicted  wound.Â
Chan took a deep breath. Here went nothing. âYou had been smiling at your phone and texting a lot too. Youâre always busy too. And when you were on your phone you called someone babe. And the man at the bar too!â Really, how could he not think you were dating someone.Â
âIâve been texting my friends thatâs all. Weâre planning a birthday party and I guess Iâve been running around a lot for it. Now listen carefully before I smack your beautiful idiot head! I call my friend babe, you have seen me do it millions of times, you even joked about how you could get jealous about it!â You quickly ranted to him, elevating Chanâs worries bit by bit, word by word.Â
âWhat about the Guy at the bar?â Chan didnât back down. He had to know. He had to know the truth.Â
âWhy does it matter if I have a boyfriend?â You looked at him with determined eyes.Â
âWhat kind of question is that?â Â
âThe kind I want answer to. What does it change if I have a boyfriend?âÂ
Chan felt his face get warmer, how was he supposed to answer that question?Â
âCome on, you know it changes everything!â No matter how hard he tried to hold it in, the desperation in his voice clearly showed.Â
âWhat Chan? What does it change?â You raised your voice. Why were you prying like that?Â
He couldnât take it anymore.Â
âFor fuckâs sake how will it not Change everything? How can everything stay the same when I have been in love with since I remember? How can I just watch you go to another man just like this? Youâre everything I have ever wanted and loved. Youâre my everything! How can you not see that? Every song I have written is about you, every thought I have is about you, my heart simply beats just for you! How will it not change anything? It will kill me to see you with another man. I would do anything in this world for you but not let you go. I could never let you go!âÂ
God, he said it. He really said it. He finally admitted just what he felt for you. Well yelled would be more accurate word to describe it. But yeah... He finally admitted his feelings. It was like weight got lifted off his chest but as the seconds passed in absolute deafening silence, maybe it was better to keep it in.Â
He couldnât even look you in the eyes. He was such an idiot. He should have kept it to himself. Why didnât you say anything? Were you that disgusted? Would you stop being friends with him now? Did he just lose you?Â
He couldnât even fully grasp what happened. One second he heard a clink of a seatbelt opening and next second your lips were on him. The lips he had dreamed of tasting for years were now kissing him. Did he just die and wake up in heaven?Â
Your lips were soft as silk and so warm and you kissed him so tenderly almost hesitantly. As if a dam broke inside of him, he quickly opened his seatbelt and brought himself closer to you. There was no way he could hold himself back now that he got to know how you taste. Biting down on your lip gently he could feel your lips part. He immediately deepened the kiss. God he loved it, how you tasted, how you clung onto him, how soft and pillowy your lips were. His whole mind was consumed by you, he was overwhelmed in the best way, all he could feel was your lips caressing each other, your warmth surrounding him, your cold fingers that held his face gently, your sweet scent that was making him go numb. God he could feel how he was slowly getting more and more addicted to you.Â
When you leaned back for air he couldnât help but as he tried to chase your lips but you stopped him giggling. God did you have any idea what you did to him? He was at your feet at your mercy, did you even realize that?Â
âSince I have to spell everything out for you today you beautiful dummy, I have been in love with you for years! I just didnât think you felt the same way. Okay, there were times I did, but like you always backed down! And today seeing how sulky you got over me talking with a coworker who was with his boyfriend by the way, I thought that maybe this was the day I could finally get to the truth. Thankfully You return my feelings because if you didnât I donât think I would be able to get over you.â Chan physically couldnât  let you finish talking a he leaned in and captured your lips in another searing kiss. As much he loved your voice and listening to you talk he had just realized that he loved kissing you more. Also to think that you thought that there was a possibility that he didnât love you... He just had to stop you.Â
âOf course I love you. God I adore you! Youâre definition of perfection, live representation of love and beauty for me. I donât think thereâs even a universe where I donât love you!âÂ
Hearing you giggle made his heart leap in joy. âGod youâre such a sap Channie.â Gently bringing him closer to you by his shoulders you gently pecked him. Chan couldnât help but mirror your grin as he wrapped his arms around you, basking in your presence, enjoying living this moment with you.Â
âYouâre one to talk.â He couldnât help but tease back before leaning in to quickly peck your nose which made your smile widen.Â
âWeâre a perfect match then.â You mused, clearly satisfied.Â
âYeah, we really are.â Chan smiled to himself and hugged you closer feeling finally at peace. Finally feeling whole.Â

Summary: You and Ridoc have been dancing around each other for months, just on the cusp of becoming something more. All it takes is a rough week and a bit of liquor to have you become putty in his hands, and he's been dying for the chance to carry you to his bed. [Takes place during Iron Flame]

Part 1/3 - Part 3/3
Authors Note: This took me waaaay too long to write but goddamn was it worth it in the end. Can't wait for the final part to wrap things up and deliver a happy ending for you all. :)
Word Count: 2,847
It took us longer than it really should have to make it back to Basgiath, but two make-out sessions in particularly dark hallways, one particularly hard staircase to conquer (ironically one of the few with railings), and about fifteen minutes worth of giggling together drunkenly and weâd somehow made it to Ridocâs room. It took him three tries to lock the door in place, but he was finally able to channel enough that we both heard the locks click in place. And then he was consuming me.
His delicious mouth on mine, pushing and pulling, but ever in control as I wrapped my arms around his neck, fingers threading through his curly brown locks. Gods how did he get them this fucking soft. I whined as he slipped his tongue in my mouth, and then let out a surprised squeal when I was suddenly being hoisted into the air, his hands firmly on my ass. I wrapped my legs around him and he squeezed his hands, groaning into my mouth as he hastily turned us, pinning me deliciously between him and his door.Â
âGods,â I whined when he moved from my mouth to my jaw, nipping and biting, then smoothing over the marks with his tongue. Keeping me hovering between pleasure and pain in such a maddening way.Â
âRidoc is fine.â He said, voice husky and strained. And then he was biting down on the juncture where my neck met my collarbone, making my vision blur and my body arch. My core rubbing over his stiff cock through our clothes, Ridocâs hands digging into my ass so hard I knew heâd leave bruises, holding me against him.Â
âFuck! Ridoc!â I yelped, glad for the standard sound shields on the rooms, because any restraint Iâd ever possessed was long gone.Â
He pulled back, and my heart ached. Gods, he looks so fucking handsome. Plump, kiss-swollen lips coated with saliva, lightly panting as he stared down at my neck. Eyes so dilated that his normal chocolate brown eyes were nearly fucking black, and scanning over my neck so possessively that it made my thighs tighten around him. He was flushed, whether from alcohol or exertion I wasnât quite sure.Â
âThat should be good enough.â He muttered to himself, even going as far as to nod, before his eyes met mine again. I didnât even have time to ask what that was about before he started speaking. âHow do you want this to go Princess? Quick? Slow? Painful? Sweet? As long as it involves you, me, and my furniture Iâm down. Ask and you shall receive.â
âI want you Ridoc.â The confession comes out a lot more raw than I mean it to, but I donât have time to think about that, not when heâs begun to smirk again, like Iâve said exactly what he wanted to hear. A smirk that makes me way wetter than it really should.Â
âYouâve got me Y/N.â He said, but then weâre turning, and in the next moment Iâm on my back, his arms on either side of me exactly how theyâd been behind the tavern. Except this time he was grinding into me, making my head spin as I desperately tried to calculate how big he was, because the absolute monster in his pants had to be smaller than I was thinking. It must be drunk calculations right? Thereâs no way he was as big as he felt.Â
He tilted his head down at me, thinking, before sitting up, leaving me gasping and wanting. He chuckled, hand flying out and pressing my chest down, back into the bed when Iâd started to chase after him. He clicked his tongue, âTsk. Donât worry now. Iâm not going anywhere. Not when Iâve finally got you exactly where Iâve been wanting you, looking so fucked out and pretty in my bed. I wish you could see yourself right now Y/N.â He took his shirt off then, and I was wholly distracted. A thin layer of sweat glistened over his ripped muscles. Over the past year and a half Iâd watched him go from lean and barely muscled, to the absolute powerhouse straddling me right now. The man over me could overpower, could dominate, could kill, easily,and the thought only turned me on more.
âHow about I turn that pretty little head of yours to mush, yeah?â He was back down in my space, lips ghosting over my own as one of his hands laced through my hair and the other sliding under my shirt by my waist. âYouâve had such a rough week Princess, how about I use my fingers or tongue to ease your worries?â
âOh,â I panted, âIs that tongue useful for anything other than making smart ass remarks? I wasnât aware-EEKâ I screeched, then tumbled into giggles as he bit down on the top of my cleavage before shooting a mischievous grin up at me.Â
His eyes danced with emotion, and I couldnât help but push back the curls getting in his eyes, as my chest warmed. âLet me get your clothes off and I can show you exactly what this tongue can do.â He teased, pecking me on the lips a few times before letting his tongue loll playfully, causing me to giggle. âQuit being so cute,â he muttered into my jaw, âItâs gonna make this hard when you try to run away in the morning.â
Before I could even process his words his hand had left my hair, joining his other on my waist, and pushing my shirt up slowly, kissing every inch of skin that heâd newly exposed and effectively wiping my brain. âYouâre so soft. How the fuck-â He groaned as his mouth met my ribs and my breathing faltered. His mouth feels so fucking good. He pulled my shirt up over my head, tossing it behind him. I arched to let him unclasp my bra, and that quickly joined my shirt. Then his mouth was on my chest, taking one breast in his mouth like a man starved, his other hand grabbing the free one and squeezing, rolling and pinching so expertly I could barely track the movement through the waves of pleasure.Â
âFuck! Ridoc pleassse.â I whined, begged, and writhed, all while holding him to my body, wanting him closer, as close as he could get. âI need you.â The words were broken, begging. âStop teasing, I need you.â It was a downright plea, and his eyes met mine. Flickering over my face, assessing, and whatever he found there made him took pity on me because he sighed, resting his chin in the valley between my tits, eyes fond and warm.Â
âStill want my tongue first?â He asked and I nodded, maybe too eagerly, because he let out a depraved chuckle, âCourse you do. Bet youâve been imagining my head between your thighs more than youâd like to admit.â I flushed bright red, because of course he was right, heâd starred way too many of my fantasies. His fingers hooked under the waist of my leathers, and in seconds heâd tugged them off. Expertly one might say.Â
Thatâs all it took for me to be bare beneath him, quivering with excitement, or pleasure, or nerves? Maybe all three at this point. I bit my lip as his mouth moved down my body, sucking, nipping, licking any spot that he deemed worthy, which felt like all of me. Anticipation built, until I was ready to shove him down where I wanted him myself, sick of waiting as he took his sweet ass time.Â
âFuck Y/N, youâre so fucking wet for me,â He hissed, eyes drinking in my soaked pussy, âThank you Loial.â He grunted before diving into my heat like it was a damn buffet.Â
Then my entire world crashed around me because Ridoc, fucking, Gamlyn finally put his mouth to good work. My body was flame, ironic enough as a palpable chill had consumed the air in the room. I thanked the gods that my signet wasnât one of fire, because Ridocâs bed would have surely caught flame. Every flick of his tongue over my clit sent shudders through me, pleasure coiling again in my gut, but with much more intensity than it had when Iâd fucked his thigh.Â
All I could comprehend was him, as one hand held my waist down to keep from squirming away from him and the other sunk one of his long fingers into my dripping hole. Gods, he felt so good. Iâd had plenty of good sex, at least I thought I had, but no one had ever used their tongue and a single finger so skillfully on me before. Sloppy yet precise, curling and coaxing until I was a mewling mess, eyes shut and clutching at his sheets and pillows like they could keep me from floating into absolute weightless bliss.Â
He added another finger, sucked harshly on my clit and then I snapped. Not even the headboard grounded me as I flung my eyes open, only to see that delicious white light as my body arched and thighs clenched around his head. Pleasure blinding me as he continued, never even pausing as I drenched him in my release. Only letting out a moan, and adding another finger, overstimulation clouding my thoughts, but I didnât dare stop him. Not when everything he was doing felt so good.Â
âLook at you Princess. And those pretty moans. You like my tongue like this? Making you feel good?â He was babbling, so obviously pussydrunk already, making me moan and clench on his fingers as they curved deliciously hitting that spongy spot that made me see stars. He dove in again, moaning, groaning, and rubbing his hips into the mattress. Trying to seek the pleasure he was giving me.Â
âRidoc,â I whimpered and he groaned, shaking his head, and I let out another string of moans, âP-p-please Ridoc, I need you in me.â
âO-one more, Princess.â He grunted, barely meeting my gaze, âOne more and then Iâll fuck you until the only word you know is my name. Just one more. Please. JustâŚfuckâŚeyes on me Y/N.â He dove in again and I did as ordered, locking eyes with him as he let loose once again. It was different this time though, his eyes soft and coaxing, as he shattered me completely, making me squirt all over his face as my climax hit me hard, vision going black.Â
I came to with Ridoc gently kissing my neck, whimpers getting his attention as his eyes quickly found mine again. âYou back Y/N?â He asked, thumb so gently running over my cheekbone, his other arm propping him up, keeping him from pressing his weight on me.Â
âWas I gone?â I whispered, voice cracking, which surprised me. Had I screamed?
âFor a minute there? Yeah.â He smiled cheekily. âKinda an ego boost if Iâm being honest.âÂ
âAs if you need anything more to inflate your ego.â I breathed out and he laughed, making my heart swell.Â
âStill want more? Or are you done for tonight?â He checked in, eyes hopeful, but I knew he wouldnât push if I was. Gods, he could be so sweet sometimes it made my chest ache.Â
âI still want you Ridoc.â It was true, I felt so heartbreakingly empty now that his fingers were gone. âI need you.â
He smiled, kissing me and then eagerly reaching down, kicking off his leathers in seconds. An expert maneuver that surely had taken time to master and had me staring in surprise. Then he was reaching down, and my eyes curiously followed his handâs movement. My eyes widened in shock. He was fucking huge. I thought it was bluster. Jokes. Maybe a bit of cockiness. But it definitely wasnât, and honestly? I wasnât even sure that it could fit.
âScared Princess?â I nodded, still frozen in shock as he pumped it once, twice, three times, and drool dripped down my chin as his cock weeped out the tip. His cock head deep red and begging for attention. âDamn Y/N,â his voice was absolutely dripping with male satisfaction, âReally working hard to inflate that ego of mine, huh?â
âCan I taste it?â The words tumbled out before I knew what I was saying and he laughed, lighthearted, but definitely still teasing.Â
âFuck baby, youâre not even listening anymore are you? Whip out my cock and all you can think about is wrapping your pretty little lips around it, huh?â My face reddened as my eyes snapped back to his. He was grinning from ear to ear, âHow bout this? You let me stuff it in that tight little pussy of yours tonight, and then if you feel up to it, you can suck it whenever youâd like any other day?âÂ
I was nodding, not caring what I was agreeing to, just knowing that if I did, Iâd get to taste him eventually. I could wait right? No matter how delicious he looked?
He pushed my thighs open, staring back down at my soaked pussy before his eyes found my own again. Soft, inviting, and way too fucking sentimental. âReady?â He whispered, bending over me, to place a sweet kiss on my stomach.Â
âPlease,â I whimpered, resigned to beg more if I had to, but he had mercy on me. He ran his thick length along my entrance, thoroughly coating himself in my slick before he lined it up, and pushed in, in one hard thrust.Â
âFuck! Ridoc!â Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes at the sensation of the delicious sting. I was so full, so wonderfully whole, now that his cock was within me, taking up space within me like no other had before. The alcohol in my veins had nothing on the high that his dick was giving me, just from filling me.Â
âItâs okay Princess-â He groaned and dropped his head to my shoulder panting as his hands flew to my hips, gripping so tight I knew Iâd find bruises tomorrow. âGodsdamnit, youâre squeezing me so fucking good Y/N.â He nuzzled into my neck, peppering it with kisses. âYouâre so wet and warm for me-fuck-â He groaned as I wrapped my legs around him, pulling him close as I gripped his shoulders for support. He started moving then, groans tumbling out as he started up a punishing rhythm, losing himself in the feel of me.Â
I wasnât much better though, in fact, the moment he started moving, all thoughts had ceased to exist. Everything beyond this bed faded, and suddenly all that mattered in this world was Ridoc Gamlyn. Â
Ridoc. The way he smelt of sex, pine, and something else distinctly male. Ridoc, and the way his rough hands tugged and pulled at me, yet worshipped me with every touch. Ridoc, and his mouth, curses, praises, and just pussydrunk babble tumbling from his tongue that I couldnât understand, because I was just as cockdrunk. Ridoc, and the way he held me, cradling me like I was made of fucking glass while he relentlessly pounded into me. Ridoc Gamlyn, making me fucking love him with every thrust into me. Every touch. Every whisper and groan and half-formed joke as we both chased our highs together.Â
âR-ridoc.â I stuttered, unable to get anything else out through the delirium. My pleasure rose, until I was teetering on the fucking edge again. Gods, if he kept it up at this pace it wouldnât be long-
âCum for me, Iâm right here, I got you.â He assured, hand flying down to rub quick circles on my clit. âLet it go.â
Three circles and I was screaming again. His name I think. Honestly too gone to know for sure, but I clamped down hard, as he fucked me through it and slammed his mouth to mine, swallowing my cry. His hips were stuttering, and then one orgasm crashed right into the next one as warmth filled me. Heâd found his own release in mine. His hands swept up my body to cradle me, pull me into his body as he let his body collapse onto my own.Â
He lazily thrusted a few more times, kisses dwindling into mere touches, before we stilled completely. Panting, sticky, and completely wrapped around each other. Ridoc. My mouth couldnât find words, which was probably best, because everything I wanted to say felt like too much and not enough at the same time.Â
He groaned and snuggled closer, before gently maneuvering us so I was laying on his chest, and we were still connected. His dick was soft but still nestled within me, and it didnât seem like Ridoc had any plans to remove it as he wrapped his blanket around us both, taking care to make sure I was extra comfy, before he buried his face in my hair.Â
Exhaustion pulled at me, and Ridoc sighed. âJust stay tonight at least, please?â
âMhm.â It was all I could muster, before I could no longer fight my drooping eyes, and I succumbed to sleep.

Playing games you can't win
Pairing: Caleb x Reader
w/c: 1.1K
A/n: me and that chip have beef, also Caleb and dog coded love has me like charlie day at that red string board.
Summary:After three week of Caleb trying to win you over, you finally have enough. He quickly finds that he can't handle it.
Warning: Toxic love, pipspeak as a pet name, mourning, intimacy, angst, Caleb gets very little comfort
The push and pull was far too much. The heat was far too much. For three weeks, the two of you had been 'playing house' in Caleb's sad condo above the city. Your mission was long since ruined by the colonel, so your days were spent watching Wontony float around. You'd ask the poor robot questions about a man it seemed you both had just met.
'The Colonel was a cold, calculating shell of a man you couldn't stand. All attempts to draw a reaction were pointless. A cup thrown and shattered at his chest. His response? Nothing but an empty grin and tease. Caleb on the other hand, was all heat. He is just as touchy as he was when you were kids if not more. When he did appear, he'd test how far you would let him. His large hands carefully tread down your shoulders only to rest above the small of your waist. He stops completely, staring into your eyes and searching (Pleading) for approval. It hasn't come.
The once-narrowed eyes completely softened leaving behind a starved dog begging for anything akin to touch. You could have called him pathetic at the sight of him on his knees; hell, he sure does. The two of you were so close. Caleb was practically vibrating while pawing you in every place he could. Lilac eyes traced the curve of your jaw and neck as if you'd break if he lost even a moment of control. The epitome of every slow-burn romance you had forced him to see growing up. Each of those followed the same pattern. He studied each one just as closely as planes or bugs in the backyard.
meet-cute
build-up
some kind of misunderstanding breaking the progression and the two separate
The problem is resolved, and the music swells.
The big kiss
pg-13 rated makeout scene
and they ride off into the sunset
He had tried so hard to follow the plan. Maybe then you fall for him like he had from the start. Nothing about this "resurrection" has gone right so far, so here we are back at the starting line every time Caleb falls to catch himself. Far too much Far too soon
So he'll wait for you to make the first move. He'll wait like he always has, but now it kills him to know you're finally seeing him as the crazed man he is. No more hiding, no more wishing from afar.
Now is the time to call in reinforcements, so movie night it is. Don't ask how long it took to organize a full weekend off, but for you, it was more than worth it.
'10 things I hate about you' is on the screen before you both. The smell of braised chicken was still in the air from dinner as Caleb slowly inches his way to your side of the couch. By the time Heath Ledger sings on the bleachers, his left arm slowly comes to rest on the back of the couch. behind your head. After bickering over whether Cruel Intentions or Pretty Woman should be next, somehow your legs just fell into his lap. Oh no, guess you'll just have to leave them there because' the movie is starting. It seems 'Cruel Intentions' won while you aren't looking.
you were so focused on his dorky grin and teasing that he won again with his evol. The man chokes down a snort as the title card plays, but you only glare and huff. It's a small thing, but it only sets him back further behind as the memory of him holding your legs down with it comes crawling back up. Seeing red, you storm off. Sure, you're a sore loser, but dear God, can you have one night without feeling weak compared to him? Without the thought of the colonel.
He follows you throughout the apartment with a racing heart. He begs for another chance for you to just see things his way. His words go in one ear and out the other as you pack your things, practically shoving them back into your luggage. He stops you in the doorway, falling to his knees. "Please, let me fix this. I love you more than you could ever know. All of this has been for you." Large trembling fingers grasp around your legs, his head pressed into your waist. "Let go, Caleb." You muttered through gritted teeth. You couldn't play this game anymore. You weren't the kid he left behind, and he was the boy you had spent a year mourning. He only held tighter. "You don't understand, pip. I just got you back. How in the hell am I suppose' to live without you again?" He barked. You scoffed. "That's the thing. You can't fathom the idea of me gone, but I had to bury you. That's why I will always win this little game,huh?" You lift his head with your fingers beneath his chin. He lets out something like a whine. A new dark thought now surfaced: you'd give him exactly what he wanted from the start. You'd be his while you held his leash.
You bend down to kiss him. It's rough and heated. Nothing like those movies before. A disgusting mess of teeth clashing and you biting his lip till it bleeds. Neither of you pulled away for air, now in a game of who would own the other and who was a coward. Caleb seems to break as tears threaten to fall down the apple of his cheeks. Every voice in his head screams out to grab you and never let go, but he doesn't. He told you that any pain you gave him was a gift to be cherished, and this was no different.
Soon enough, the man is a mess, gazing back up at you as you pull away. "Breathe, Caleb. I love you too." Your voice is sickeningly sweet as your hands find purchase in his hair, soothing him. "Bye~." The door slams,
A second later, you're gone down the hall, bring up a finger to swipe away the blood.
There's a gaping hole in my chest. A you-sized hole that aches and calls out to be filled. For years I watched over you as a dog guarding its flock. My teeth and claws protected you from the wolves all around but I was just as hungry as them. I longed for your taste as I kissed your wounds. I dreamt of your touch as you hugged me. My eyes are tearing into your flesh just as they would. I am no better, but maybe You have always known this and loved me anyway. Maybe your love will absolve my sins.

see ok the thing about norm is that i really truly do think that post-canon she DOES end up realizing shes trans. it's just that, her entire life, she has been told to be a "real man" and by god has she conformed to that. she went to war, she manned up and took care of her mother in her final years, hell, she had a wife and children. she has essentially forced herself into the role of a classic american patriarch.
she has, whether subconsciously or not, molded herself into being everything she has ever been told to be, without any question. she's been told her entire life that men are gruff, that men are cruel, that men do not show emotions other than rage, and that to be a "real man" she has to be all those things and worse. you can see this just in the way that she carries herself, constantly going out of her way to intimidate or threaten anyone. with every interaction she has, she deliberately (attempts) to make them scared of her.
you can even link this back to how she thinks of callum, seeing them as solely a self-made man. norm wants, so desperately, to be viewed as "good" and to be respected, and the only way she knows how to make that happen is to be a man. callum's presidency reaffirmed this, having seen someone in her (perceived) position of a small-town southerner who never got anything good from the world around him, constantly shoved aside to make way for everyone else. when callum grew to power, she viewed them as a "true patriarch", a man who knew what he was doing with his life. a man who was respected, who was good, who was beloved by everyone. she, however, fundamentally viewed this as happening because callum was a "self-made man", unable to separate callums manhood from their success.
literally everything norm does is based in her own ideas of what "being a man" entails. she believes that if she can't be a man, then she has failed at not just being a man, but being alive, being a person. she is so deeply ashamed and guilt-ridden over having failed her duties as "the man of the house"* (*i.e. leaving her wife and children) that she lashes out, desperately sticking to the only clutch she has on the masculinity that she believes will be ripped away from her at a moments notice. she saw what happened to callum, how they were discarded when they weren't of any usage anymore, when they couldn't just "man up", when they were no longer the patriarch everyone thought of them. the circumstances aren't close to the same, of course, but in norms eyes all she saw was someone fail at being a man and be thrown out.
she's already been thrown out and cast away before, what's stopping them from just doing it again? mingus humiliated her, stripped her of any power she had and left her with nothing, tossed her away when she deemed her "unfit". it made norm regress back into that shell of violence and paranoia, so petrified of the fact that she can no longer protect herself that she shut the world out.
she's petrified of being deemed "unfit" again, so she continues to cling to her masculinity. even with the knowledge that dialtown is full of weirdo's, she can't help but stay in her bubble. everytime someone questions her masculinity, she just digs her heels in more, asserts herself more, becomes more violent, more aggressive, more manly. she still thinks that, so long as she acts like a man, then she won't be tossed out, that she's still worth something, that she's still a person. she views every threat to her masculinity as a threat to her personhood. what she lacks in confidence, she makes up in assertiveness. she wraps herself in a blanket of long-gone traditions of being "the patriarch", a living reminder of old world masculinity, because that's all she knows of herself. she's never known anything else, after all.

On Kurapika's Self-Imposed Isolation
While I recognize that probably everything I'm about to say is going to be super obvious, I just wanted to briefly touch on Kurapika's self-isolation, and the reason behind his not picking up his phone or exchanging anything more than clipped words and business after Yorknew.
I think the obvious answer is that Kurapika doesn't want his friends in harms way, or to be used as a bargaining tool against him. This is an understandable and probably accurate conclusion. After all, Gon and Killua did get taken hostage, and Kurapika was forced to negotiate an exchange. Chrollo picked up on Kurapika's "weakness" right away - that he values his friends' safety before his revenge. Fortunately for Kurapika in this situation, Pakunoda was a whole lot more similar to him than he would've cared to admit, as she placed a value on Chrollo's life even though everyone in the Spider was intended to be replaceable. So, now that he's been through Gon and Killua having potentially gotten killed or seriously hurt, and Chrollo knows that he has a soft spot for them, it does make sense that he would try to push them away for their safety and for the sake of not having an exploitable "weakness" in future. He may also not want to burden them more when they have their own lives to live - he does slip off without telling Gon and Killua for the sake of not distracting them from Nen training, after all.
Except that he already tried all this earlier in Yorknew arc. He tried to tell them they shouldn't get involved, and they all agreed that the risks were massive - but his friends agreed to undergo the risks anyways to help him. Kurapika was even grateful for it - "I have been blessed with good friends."
So, for him to push them away solely for this reason after the fact, knowing that this was very much a likely situation to happen, is a little odd to me. Kurapika knows full well that Leorio would be frustrated, Killua would be offended and Gon would worry. So, I think there's a little more to it than that, and I actually would venture to say that "keeping his friends out of danger" is more a secondary reason for his actions - one that would come across as more of a reasonable excuse to others.
The primary reason is likely a lot more selfish than that. Kurapika has to ensure his mission comes first. And unfortunately, he is fully aware that his path and choice in abilities is deeply self-destructive.
Kurapika needs to make sure that he doesn't have exploitable weaknesses, sure, but he also just as much needs to purposefully worsen his headspace - and he can't do that with those three around.
Think back, what are the happiest moments we see from Kurapika in the series? The one that comes to mind first, and the one I'm sure most of us will think of immediately, is this:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/c2bf0de2dbdf98d9921cf3f3e6321149/1cb3c83e927c6212-9a/s540x810/e40b60ce53bc6d64746d56f1d83965e66c1b2be5.webp)
[ID: A screenshot from the 2011 anime adaptation. Kurapika smiles - he looks at ease. End ID.]
It's one of the sweetest scenes of the series imo, right before the whole group is reunited for the first time since the Zoldyck Family arc, and it's even more notable because it comes immediately on the tail end of this...
[ID: Three panels from HxH Chapter 101. Kurapika removes his contacts over the sink. His expression is distant. End ID.]
...and this...
[ID: A panel from HxH Chapter 101. A close up of Kurapika's vacant and furious expression, his eyes wide and dangerous as he says "It might as well be you." Though the art is in black and white, it's apparent his eyes have gone scarlet. End ID.]
...and this.
[ID: A panel from HxH Chapter 101. A distant Kurapika speaks on the phone on a rooftop at night, the cityscape of Yorknew around him dark, but speckled with lights and stars. He says "The Spiders are dead." His face is not visible to the reader. End ID.]
This is, up to this point in the series, Kurapika at his lowest. In contrast to Gon, who is happy to hear that the Spiders are dead already because now Kurapika can focus solely on finding his peoples' eyes, Kurapika... is clearly not happy - and that's because killing the Spiders himself isn't just revenge. It's penance. It's survivor's guilt. Kurapika's powers, which Izunavi even comments sound much like he is chaining himself in the process of chaining his enemies, are oh-so-beautifully prophecied to destroy him - and Kurapika was aware of this from the moment he set off down this path of revenge.
(As a side note, this is why I'm really hoping we see Gon and Kurapika interact again after the Chimera Ant arc - while Gon has always been pretty attentive to Kurapika's emotional state, in Yorknew, he lacks a true understanding of why Kurapika would go so far... but as of now, he understands rage fueled by guilt and grief all too well. I know we're all rooting for Leorio to reach Kurapika, but barring that, I really think Gon could get through to him - after all, they are similar in several ways, and I find it fairly apparent that Gon reminds Kurapika of Pairo.)
But back to the main point here - I do suspect Kurapika expects (if not wants) his revenge mission to destroy him. I think a lot of times, we forget just how young Kurapika is, and how much his character is dictated by honour, and the abandonment of it.
Certainly, he can and will go against his principles for the sake of his mission... yet, almost paradoxically, he's bound to his promise to his fallen clan; a promise to avenge them made in anger.
But Kurapika... doesn't come across as a naturally angry person to me at all.
He seems like the stoic, vengeful type on his initial introduction... and then we get his panic at Gon's recklessness

...and his near-immediate forgiveness of Leorio after getting the first inkling of his character - of someone who cares just as fiercely as he does.
And after that point? Almost all through the Hunter Exam? Kurapika smiles so readily at them. He's sharp and funny. He mediates at times, but is stubbornly prideful in others. He's very amused by his friends' antics, and it really does seem like he starts to enjoy himself, with them. And, more than that, he counters Leorio's initial impression of him as an independent loner - on several occasions. He decides to follow Gon because Gon intrigues him. Asides from Gon, it is Kurapika who is the most unwilling to fight each other at the bottom of Trick Tower. Kurapika who makes the first move to team up with Leorio, even though that arrangement benefits Leorio much more than it does him. Kurapika who refuses to abandon Leorio to his fate in the cave, and who checks on Gon after noticing his bad mood. Who was furious enough watching him get beat down by Hanzo that his eyes went scarlet for the first and only instance outside of Spider mentions and Emperor Time. Who quite readily detoured to help rescue Killua.

In the third, Kurapika has an open-mouthed smile as he acquires the airship tickets for them, Leorio and Gon standing behind him. End ID.]
Look at him! He's so bright! So happy!
...too happy. Too happy to do what he promised himself he would do. And that's his biggest fear, isn't it. Without his rage... what is he left with?
[ID: A panel from HxH chapter 2. A close up of Kurapika's eye as he says "I do not fear death. What I fear is that my rage will one day fade away." End ID.]
Kurapika is far, far less mired in anger when he's with his friends. I actually dare to say that at certain points, he was able to go for lengths of time without thinking much about it - alternating between almost forgetting in one instance and being hit like a sledgehammer on exposure to a reminder in the next. This violent swing is... actually the beginnings of the natural process of healing from loss and trauma. But to Kurapika, who's made a promise to his people's memories, this is not a relief. This is betrayal.
I think that actually scares him, that he can almost picture it. A life beyond his guilt. That he, too, could learn to be happy, even after unimaginable loss.
And so, as Kurapika continues his mission offscreen, finding more and more gruesome reminders of the cruelty inflicted on his people and losing more and more pieces of himself in the process (in his own words, no less), he prioritizes his responsibility to them, and pushes away his distractions. He cannot be a soul at peace until his work is done; he must be in turmoil. He pushes people away who he cares for, and binds himself, and keeps his people's eyes on him, quite literally, because respite, for him, is unacceptable. Perhaps that guilty part of him even hopes, by the end of this, that his soul will be so unrecognizable as to be fundamentally unsalvageable. But the truth of the matter is, or at least what comes across to me, is that Kurapika cares much more fiercely than he hates. He knows what matters most. And for as long as he does, he still hasn't truly lost himself.

Kurapika's soul is kind, really. And it wants to heal - but for the sake of his mission, he needs it damaged and bleeding. And so, he forces himself to exist in that pain. All alone.
[ID: A panel from HxH Chapter 344. Kurapika, dressed in a black suit, sits with his back to the reader, looking down at a photo in his hand. He is slumped a little before the church vigil he has prepared, all his clan's eyes lined up in their jars and honoured with flowers and candles. He thinks to himself "There is no home for me to return to... and nobody to welcome me back. I have nothing left." End ID.]
