pairing: itoshi sae x gn!reader
synopsis: sae turns into a child boohoo (ik impossible but why not idk)
cw: none except my dookie writing skills HAHAHAHHAA IM RUSTY AND IM JS MUCH BETTER W WRITING CHAT AUSâ!/&;@/& tbh it kinda lost its plot in the middle but wtv; not proofread HAHAHAAH; swearing
notes: this thought occurred in the midst of me fighting against nature and its worst call (TMI IM SO SORRY); will fix format later cuh i did this on my phone HAHAHAHA; ITS FLUFFY I PROMISE
wc: 781 (LONGER THAN EXPECTED WHAT)
you love itoshi sae. you really really do.
you love him to the point where youre willing to fight anyone and anything just for him even, if it would cost you something.
you wonder how youve come to love him; was it because of his ânonchalant demeanorâ that had ticked every time bomb you had in you, or was it his athleticismâyes, i know, boringâthat quite literally fixed you in more ways than one? orrr was it actually his cleanliness and (n)-step skin-care routine that would probably do the opposite of what it actually does with how uncooperative your skin is?
youre actually not sure.
but what youre sure about right now, at this time and day, the itoshi sae you fell in love with was definitely not present.
âsaeeeeâ you call out to your husband from the kitchen.
silence.
âsaeeeeeâ calling out much louder, youre met with even more silence that quote on quote, ticked every time bomb you had in you.
weird.
âunderlashes?â entering the dining room with your already-running-thin-patience, youre met with a sight to definitely behold.
âwhat do you want?â your husbandâquestion mark x2ânow reduced to a child perfectly mirroring his own features grumbles out from his seat at the tableâa half-eaten slice of blueberry cheesecake slathered all over his mouth and some even getting onto his shirt.
what the fuck actually???
âummmmâ you question aloud as confusion paints itself on your faceâyour eyebrows visibly furrowing as you try to process whatâs currently going on.
âyouââ
âdont say anything. i dont wanna hear anything.â another grumbleâalbeit high pitchedâcomes from the seated man (the boy? child? manchild?) with his signature scowl planted on his face.
you watch with curious eyes as the manchild (youll call him that for now) reaches up for the fork on the âhigh-ass table counter thingyâ (his words, not yours) attempting to feed himself.
heading off to the kitchen to grab your phone (for blackmail), you hear a sudden clank and a scoff from mr. manchild.
turning your head once more to face him, youre once again met with a sight youd definitely want to keep in your book of memories forever.
there, right in front of you, was the itoshi sae, mr. idgafer, the prodigal sonâ˘, the man of many names, and the love you call your life, staring down at the fork with the meanest mog and scowliest (is that even a word) face the world has ever seen.
thats right. the itoshi sae that was present right now, at this time and day, was not only the itoshi sae you fell in love with, but also the itoshi sae youd want to spoil, protect, and care for with your whole life.
âsaeâŚâ you try to stop yourself from laughing. you really do.
but in that moment, all hell seems to break lose, and that hell was your own laughing hell.
âpfftâ hahahaha!â as you laugh your ass off, you miss the subtle shift in the red headâs expression.
your itoshi sae may not have been currently present, but you definitely there; the person he fell madly and deeply in love with. you and your bright smile that could light up all the emo shit inside him, your laughs that seemed to make everything much better, and yourâ
oh right. his blueberry cake.
ignoring your laughs, the little boy proceeds to hop off the high chair to retrieve the fallen fork.
hes almost tempted to leave you to your laughing trip, but hes too tired to clean up himself. so he does what every child would do; call a trusted adult.
and that trusted adult nearest to him was you, who so happened to be his spouse.
shaking his head, underlashes jr. starts telling you off and bossing you around like the chill guy he is.
âoi stop laughing and help me with this mess.â he slurs out, unable to resist the grin on his face.
âbu- but.. its your- your mess!â taking a deep breath, you wipe away the tears that had appeared on your eyes. âthat was a nice laugh! right, underlashes jr?â grinning from ear to ear, you ruffle his hair, receiving multiple complaints and âpunchesâ to your arms.
âyeah yeah whatever. now get off me and help me!â the mini guy successfully swats your hands off his hair, a faint blush blooming on the apples of his cheeks.
âalright, alright! right away, mister mini!â letting out a couple chuckles, you drag the little guy with you to the site of the (his) mess. âim not letting you off the hook though, little guy. you have to clean with me. ��kay?â
âtch. whatever.â
he wouldnt have it any way though.

Silly oneshot where kid Madara attends some festival in the capital and bumps into some white haired kid in a mask (wowww I wonder who it could beee) and they spend the festival together doing silly festival things and being cute, holding hands as they weave through the crowds and doing that one little goldfish game (Madara wins Tobirama a fish and he looks away for like 2 seconds and when he looks back it's implied Tobirama just fuckin swallowed it whole (*half hatake headcanon noises*)) and watching the fireworks n stuff
And the mystery masked kid was totally his first crush and at the end Madara manages to pull a promise to see the fireworks again at some future festival from him. But they never see eachother again oh nooo who could have forseen thisss
The fic then flashes forward to him being older theyre planning Konoha's first festival. Izuna brings up his silly festival boy crush, which Tobirama overhears and gets a really weird look on his face about before power walking away.
Then the festival happens and Madara is in some corner looking out at the crowd, feeling nostalgic. And then through the crowd there's a flash of white and he sees a masked man looking at him. The same mask from before, complete with some distinctive scratch or marking that makes it easy to tell it's really his guy. And then they get to spend the festival together again, and it ends with them sharing a kiss under the fireworks bc I say so
(Might actually write this one tbh I'm very tempted)

lately i have been
watching movies
reading books
practicing piano
taking long walks
being more methodical with my bedtime routine**
writing and outlining more regularly
and just generally repairing my attention span*. it's possible
the trick is to look for stretches of time where you can get it. i don't know how else to describe it tbh. and it sounds like nonsensical common sense. i guess it's like... find the tiniest stretches of time where you can't do anything else, and those are the times when you can be on your phone.
e.g. say i'm waiting for coffee to boil, about 1-2 minutes. i can't practice piano in that time, but i can check my email or instagram or whatever. but then, let's say i look at the clock, and there's nothing in particular to do for the next 20 minutes... well surely, i can practice a two page piano piece in that time. or at the very least do some scales or chords. or let's say i've just been tapping away at my work on my computer for an hour or two, it's a good time to get up and take a walk outside, or switch to paper (reading / writing). haha i know this is advice we've all heard before.
i guess like, one of my main downfalls is repeatedly checking my phone because i think a magic email or text will arrive. eventually i had to come to terms with the fact that this magic message will never arrive. and if i do have an important message, chances are i can answer it around 9am or 2pm, something like that. and if i'm checking my phone at 11pm what can i actually do about it? am i even in my right mind to do something about it?
--
*ed. note - yes i have read the things critical of the concept of "attention span" and well even if it's a fake concept let's say i struggle from a lack of this fake concept, shall we say... pathologically so...
**methodical bedtime routine: 9-10pm is ME TIME underlined three times, this is the time to watch something on TV, fuck around online, read a book, eat a popsicle, whatever. don't half ass the "me time," really go for it. if i'm half-working half-relaxing then i don't feel all the way relaxed, then i'm tempted to "steal" time back for myself post 11pm when i should be in bed.
anyway, sometime between 10-10:30pm: shower or bath, take melatonin if no sleep the night before, use water pick floss, wash face, moisturize, pajamas, drink water, brush teeth with nha toothpaste, duolingo, write in journal (if i have energy) / read book (if i have lower energy) / get in a last gasp of mindless scrolling if my energy is in the negative. last steps: turn on jazz in the rain playlist*** with a sleep timer of 30 minutes, turn off light
***somehow i pavlov-ed myself with this playlist and 5 out of 6 nights this will put me right to sleep like a bird with a blanket on its cage

Kinktober Day 15: Noncon
Rating: R-18+
Word Count: 6908
Warnings: Afab!reader, gendered language, familial death, noncon, like super noncon, debt, monetary coercion, references to prostitution and public use, implied master/slave dynamic, piv sex, blowjob, throat fucking, double penetration featuring a Fatui debt collectorÂ
A/N: at this point I think anything I write for a Harbinger is just going to be exceptionally dark and gross so tbh consider that a warning in and of itself. This oneâs rough so please pay attention to the tags before proceeding any further! I love you guys and I want you all to stay safe so feel free to skip this one if you think you need to!
â
Snow crunches under heavy boots as you make your way through the small village you called home. It was late, and the moon was out. Its muted, hazy glow casts over the snowdrifts and the shoveled heaps piled away from silent doorways to make it all glitter and shine like mountains of precious silver. You wished that was what it was. Wished you could dig your hands into it and scoop out palmfulls to spend on food and clothes, firewood for the hearth at home so you wouldnât have to break your back chopping it for yourself every day. Maybe even a new comb for your hair, as a treat.Â
You would have been able to afford anything at all if it was something of actual worth stretching out around you as far as the eye could see, so of course you would splurge on a comb. Perhaps even two. And a dress, a fancy one that would make the other girls green with jealousy while the boys threw themselves at your feet like shameless dogs. Anything and everything would be just at your fingertips in this perfect world of whimsical fantasy. Even your freedom.Â
It was a nice thought. A tempting one, even. But if snow could be somehow transmuted into silver or any other precious metal then Snezhnaya would be the financial capital of Teyvat rather than the far distant Liyue. Your father had told you about it on occasion, what kind of place it was. How bustling with business and commerce the streets were. Youâd thought it sounded like a strange but exciting place. So much potential for success bursting at the seams, just waiting to be struck upon, that youâd once even dreamed of going there yourself some day. Of making a future beyond the hopeless deadend you saw here.Â
But that was little more than a long forgotten flight of fancy now, much like your silver-snow. Fantasies were just idle hopes and wishes for children who hadnât yet learned the crushing truths of the world, and the weight of that sags your shoulders as you work to jostle your front door open. You were tired and cold, and quickly running out of options.Â
The door finally gives way with a creak, and you stumble inside to knock the snow off your boots before bending to unlace them. Youâre halfway through the motion, one shoe already undone and half kicked off, when you suddenly realize youâre not alone.Â
You arenât sure if itâs a shift of movement at your peripheral, if the redistribution of weight had displaced one of the old floorboards to issue a squeak of warning or if itâs something in the air that just feels ⌠occupied. But youâre immediately aware of it on an intrinsic level and your heart seems to play hopscotch across your ribcage. Frozen to the spot, you just listen to the resounding silence for a long, horrible beat. Then your head comes up to glance across the room at the open doorway that leads into the small kitchen. A warm flicker of light greets your horrified gaze, taunts you with a beckoning sputter. You certainly hadnât left the lantern burning this entire time, otherwise you probably wouldnât have even had a home to return to.Â
Slowly straightening, you hastily shove your feet back into your boots and reach for the knife hidden under your jacket. You grasp it in a tight, squeezing fist, just the way your father had shown you, and creep towards the doorway. It feels like you're hardly breathing but your pulse still jumps when the floor creaks under you. Nothing to be concerned about though, you try to tell yourself. They would have heard you come in anyway, especially since your damn door never wanted to open right. It was fine if they knew you were there because you knew where they were and it was your house, so you still had the upper hand. Probably. Maybe.Â
Oh, please donât let there be more than one of them, you pray to whichever god might be listening.Â
Edging yourself close to the entryway, youâre more than a little relieved to find that it is indeed just a single figure standing over your rickety dinner table and you almost breathe out a heavy sigh. But then that shadowy mass turns, the cast of the lantern illuminating the face, and you nearly drop your knife in surprise.Â
âL - lord Regrator?âÂ
He smiles at you, always soft and always gentle. âHello, pet. Finally off work are we?âÂ
You just stand there, mouth moving wordlessly around any number of things you could have said to him in that moment. âWhat are you doing in my house?â for starters. Maybe even an impulsive âwhy are you sneaking around at night like a thief?â But all you finally manage to croak out is a threadbare, âI hope I didnât keep you waiting, my lordâ because you simply donât know what else to say.Â
âDonât worry your pretty little head about that. I havenât been here for very long.â Still smiling, still soft, he reaches out with an elegantly poised gloved hand as if to touch the top of your table but he stops short. Seems to hesitate. Thinks better of it, and instead sweeps those long fingers outward to gesture at the kitchen at large. âYour home is lovely. Quaint.âÂ
Pantalone hides his grimace exceptionally well. You only barely manage to make out the slightest tension that settles around his mouth in the cast of the burning lantern that sits sentry on the table between you and him, tossing odd shadows across his face. His contempt for your lodgings is clear though and you self consciously dart your eyes around the room as if seeing it all for the first time. The old, dilapidated iron stove that looked like it was on its last leg, the crack in the wall where the foundation was starting to give, bit by bit, and the rusting coffee carafe sitting in the tub sink. It probably did look abhorrent compared to what he was in all likelihood used to but it was all youâd ever known. The only thing youâd ever had that couldnât be taken away.Â
Swallowing hard, you center your focus back on him and try not to think about how much he looked like a finely dressed specter standing in the ruins of your life like this. Beautiful and nice to look at but you knew too well the venomous fangs he was hiding beneath that deceptively pleasant veneer. Like a wraith come to life to haunt you endlessly. Tirelessly. Ghoulishly.Â
âPlease forgive me, my lord.â You whisper into the eerie stillness. âHad I known you would be coming I would have cleaned and made preparations. Would you like me to make tea?âÂ
âNot at all.âÂ
You wince, and try not to wither. âThen is there something I can help you with?âÂ
Noising a thoughtful sound, Pantalone casually shifts into motion and you very nearly go scuttling backwards to escape him. But, to your surprise, he doesnât approach you and instead wanders over to the stove to give it a shuttered but no less judgemental inspection. You start to bring your hand up to wipe the beading sweat from your brow only to abruptly realize you were still holding onto the knife.Â
Stealing a look at where youâve got it clutched in a death grip, you quickly decide to keep it out for the moment. You very well might need it.Â
âOne would think that old fool would have used some of the loan he borrowed to do a bit of upkeep on the place.â He murmurs, more to himself than you and perfectly offhand, but it still makes your chest squeeze tight. You probably should have seen this coming but the hurt catches you off guard. Makes you hate him just a little more.Â
âIâm sorry my home is not to your liking, lord Regrator. I could have met you somewhere else if youâd just - -â
âOh?â Pantalone cuts across you, neither raising his voice nor sharpening his tone. Itâs the same soft, gentle refinement in his voice as usual that makes you cower in the doorway when he turns to make his long cloak flutter outward like a dancer. âAnd why would I give you the chance to run out on me like that? I know this isnât exactly your area of expertise, dear, but surely even you must know that thatâs just bad for business.â
You find yourself prickling defensively. For him to even insinuate such a thing ⌠âI wouldnât do that, my lord. Iâve been working hard to pay you back this entire time, just like we agreed. I even got a second job at the mill so I could make ends meet and still be able to make my payments on time. To up and leave after all the effort Iâve put into - -â
âThen can you give me your next payment now?âÂ
âI ⌠my lord, I still have another week to get it.âÂ
Looking at you through the creeping gloom, Pantalone finally allows a small frown to tug at his mouth. âSo thatâs a ânoâ? Such a pity. Iâd really rather hoped you would be better than your father.âÂ
You feel like youâre going to be sick. Hot and nauseous, and increasingly dizzy, you just stare at him for a drawn out beat before finally giving your head a numb shake. âNo. Thatâs not what you said. My lord, you agreed - -â
âLet me explain something to you.â He cuts across you again, the faintest note of displeasure coloring his voice now. Sedately, he folds his hands together and moves towards you with the slow, rhythmic thud of his boots on the floorboards making your heart pound even faster. It sounded deafeningly loud in your cotton stuffed ears. âLoans are not granted out of goodwill and charity. There are terms that must be agreed upon by both parties before any mora can trade hands. Would you care to take a guess what terms your father took his loan out on?âÂ
You shake your head and back up a step, still clutching the knife beside your hip. Every fiber of your being was screaming at you to run, flee as fast as you can and never look back, but that would just make things worse, wouldnât it? Prove that his wariness to trust you was well founded. You couldnât afford to test the limits of his benevolence any further, figuratively or literally, so you stand your ground even when he comes within arms reach where he finally stops. Tilts his head to one side and then draws a calm breath.Â
âTwenty-five percent interest. That is what accumulates every single day you donât make a payment in full. To put it in laymanâs terms, the only way for you to even make a dent in your fathers loan would be to pay around, oh, letâs say ⌠16000 mora a week?âÂ
Your knees almost give out right from under you. That couldnât be true. There was no way ⌠âDo â do you really expect me to be able to pay that much?âÂ
Softly tutting at you, Pantalone fixes you with a truly pitying look. âOh, sweet girl. I would never ask something so unreasonable of you. But, as it stands, you did agree to take responsibility for the loan. Rather than a personal expectation on my part, you now have the obligation to pay it back regardless of my own personal thoughts on the matter.âÂ
âWhat choice did I have?â You croak. âWhat else was I supposed to say when you showed up at his funeral and started talking about stuff I have no knowledge of? You made it sound like I didnât even have a say in it.âÂ
âWell, thatâs hardly my fault if you agreed to something without understanding the full consequences.âÂ
You were starting to pant even though you hadnât moved for some time now. It was like you were a tea kettle on the brink of boiling, so hot and messed up inside that you werenât sure what the inevitable explosion was going to look like. You wanted to scream at him, throw yourself on the floor and sob like an inconsolable baby. You wanted to curse him, spit at him, hurt him â hurt him?Â
Your fingers desperately clench around the knife to make sure it was still there.Â
You could hurt him.Â
Maybe you should hurt him.Â
âYouâre a monster,â You hiss, finding strength in your conviction, in the blade that had become a part of your arm, an extension of it. Stiffly, you shift to the side so he wonât see the way you readjust your grip on the handle to make sure youâve got a good hold on it. âA twenty-five percent interest rate? Thatâs insane. No average person could pay that back in a single lifetime and you know that. Youâre just a thief taking advantage of people.âÂ
Seamlessly, Pantaloneâs placid little smile slips back into place. âIs that so?âÂ
âYes.â You hiss the word at him, and try to work up your courage to follow through. Youâd never stabbed another person before but in this instance, for him, you were quite certain you could. All you needed to do was goad him into closing the distance and get him near enough for your knife to reach. âYou prey on the poor and impoverished like itâs some kind of game, donât you? Is this what gets you off?âÂ
âThatâs a rather crass thing for a young lady to say, isnât it?â He simpers at you. Then, much to your heart pounding surprise, he takes a step towards you. And another. âBut since you asked I feel it would be remiss of me not to give you an answer. How does a demonstration sound?âÂ
Your eyes go big, startled heat warming your cheeks quicker than you can even process it. There wasnât enough time to think about that right now though. He was almost right on top of you, looming over you like some horrible, menacing beast in his fine furs. You seem to have forgotten how to breathe when the only thought flashing through your mind was sinking the blade in your hand through his chest. His neck. Whatever you could reach in the split second chance you were going to get to deliver the blow. Jaw clenched painfully tight, you squeeze your fingers around the knife so hard it hurts.Â
And you lunge.Â
An unseen hand materializes out of the darkness behind you and snatches your upraised wrist before you can bring it down. Youâre so caught off guard that you donât even have the wherewithal to gasp. A rough jerk on your arm yanks you off balance and right back against a solid wall of muscle that doesnât even shift at the impact. Your animal instincts seem to take over and you wildly jerk your head up, just catching a glimpse of a red mask, a black hood, and then sharp, tearing pain is shooting up your captured limb. The masked fiend â a man, judging by his frame â twists and mercilessly bends your wrist until you drop the knife with an earth shattering clatter on the floor. Dully realizing you were caught and unarmed now, you violently wrench against his hold in an attempt to free yourself but he just drags you against him again.Â
Screaming and kicking, he heedlessly maneuvers you further into the kitchen but even trying to turn into dead weight in his arms doesnât dissuade him in the slightest. All he does is haul you close, lift you up in the air and then slam you down on top of the table with enough force to knock the air from your lungs. Youâre distantly aware of him shuffling back a step as you lie there, gasping and wheezing while you weakly try to pull your body upright again but itâs useless. The teeth rattling impact against the sturdy wood had effectively stunned you. Your limbs didnât want to cooperate and it was hard just to breathe, let alone try to run or fight back.Â
And somehow through all the agony youâre vaguely aware of Pantaloneâs approaching boot steps on the floor.Â
âGoodness, was that really necessary? You could have set the whole place on fire.â He tut tuts at his underling and you slowly turn your head to watch him pick up the lantern where it was tipped over. The only thing that had stopped it from shattering or rolling off onto the floor was the protective cage around the glass but you werenât sure if you wanted to thank whoever had designed it or curse them for it. There was no telling what they were going to do to you, and you may have preferred going up in a puff of smoke when all was said and done âŚÂ
Archons above, how were you supposed to get out of this?Â
âNow,â Intoning, Pantalone gracefully moves to set the lantern on the adjacent countertop where it wouldnât get knocked over again. The glow from the flame dances and moves with him, and you groan when it seems to make your nausea double down. Youâd never felt quite so sick in all your life. âAs I was saying, I think a hands-on demonstration should satisfy your curiosity well enough. As an aside, though, I would suggest not asking men about their sexual proclivities in the future. It just might keep you out of trouble.âÂ
âBastard âŚâÂ
He comes close again, reaching out to close his fingers around the roots of your hair so he can yank your head back against the table. Seething, you glare up at him but he just keeps smiling that same polite smile. It was hideous.Â
âMy, my, that really is a filthy mouth youâve got. Did you learn that from your father? Perhaps we should wash it out with soap while weâre at it.âÂ
âStop it! Do not speak of him!âÂ
Chuckling faintly, Pantalone slowly lets up on your hair before moving to step around the table. Wheezing, you hastily try to roll over so you can slip down to the floor but the masked man stops you dead in your tracks. He was just standing there. Watching. Still and silent as a statue but you didnât have to see his eyes to know how attentive his focus was. Like he was just waiting for the slightest hint of real resistance so he could use it as an excuse to rough you up again. Evil and loyal to a fault.Â
From out of the void, Pantaloneâs gloved fingers abruptly brush over your pants leg to make you jolt and whip your attention around so fast the room starts to spin. But once your vision clears enough to see, you just find him standing over you and as at ease as ever. He would have looked completely unassuming if you didnât know any better. Â
âDo try to keep your eyes on me, darling. After all, Iâm going out of my way to give you a thorough and worthwhile answer, so the least you can do is pay attention.âÂ
âPlease donât âŚâÂ
Drawing a stilted breath that seems to shudder at the tail end, he slowly drags his palm up to your knee and then back down until it hits the top of your boot. Casually, much too casually for your liking, he disinterestedly nudges it off your foot to hit the floor before repeating the process on the other side. You cower on top of the table, biting back a sob when he reaches up to unbutton your jacket next, but you understood too well just how trapped you really were. The masked man was standing between you and the entryway, much bigger and much stronger than you were. Youâd never be able to fight your way past him. In front of you was Pantalone and to the other side ⌠the small kitchen door that led out into the yard was a non option because you hadnât shoveled away the snow in months. Youâd thought it was a good idea to leave as few points of entry into the house as possible now that you were alone, but you realized just how foolish that really was. You had no way out, no viable exits.Â
âAre you really going to do this?â You fearfully whisper into the still air.Â
With a soft click of his tongue, Pantalone gets the last button undone and brings his hands up again to push the jacket over your shoulders. âOnly because you asked.âÂ
A full bodied tremor tears through you at the pur in his silky voice. Sucking in a ragged, gasping breath, you turn your head against the table to fix your attention on the beckoning door while he works on the next layer, and the next, leaving everything bunched around the bends of your arms, until he at last gets down to the bottommost chemise. You shiver at the loss of heat and the chill that rushes in to replace it, your nipples already cutting up into the thin material, but your reaction doesnât so much as give him pause.Â
Gloved hands drag up your front to cup around the swell of your breasts and squeeze, making you whimper in the back of your throat. âWell, this is certainly a pleasant surprise. I had no idea you were hiding such a voluptuous body underneath all those clothes.â Humming softly, as if in consideration, Pantalone readjusts his hold and shoves your tits together to make them squish under the final layer. âThese are nice, arenât they ⌠have you ever considered going into prostitution? Iâm sure you could make a pretty mora for yourself.âÂ
You screw your eyes shut but it doesnât do much to block out the sound of his voice. âI would never âŚâÂ
âOh? What a shame.â Pausing, he releases your chest in favor of neatly folding the material up to bunch under your chin and you outright writhe when the chilly air hits your stiff nipples full blast. âThough, if Iâm being honest, I am quite tempted to take you with me back to the palace and start selling you myself. Youâd be quite popular, you know. One look at this body and every man in the room would be tripping over themselves just to give me their entire savings for a mere hour with you. Perhaps you could pay me back that way, hm?âÂ
Whimpering when Pantalone lightly brushes his fingers over the pebbled peaks of your breasts, the leather stiff and cool to the touch, you twist your neck back in a blithe attempt to escape that velvety croon. It was no use though. Like you were smothered under his presence you could feel him, hear him all around you. You could even taste him on the back of your tongue where the cloying scent of expensive cologne swarmed your senses. It was too much. You didnât want this.Â
âPlease ⌠Iâll do anything, just â please donât do this to me.âÂ
He gently shushes you even as he takes a moment to tweak your nipples, almost idly plucking at them until you hiss and choke on a broken little sob. Leaning over you then, hunching close, Pantalone puts his face near enough to yours that his exquisite eyeglass chain slides forward to brush against your cheek. He just looks at you like that for a long moment, still pinching your teats like an afterthought.Â
Then, âYouâll do anything except the one thing that might actually get you out of this mess? My dear, I think youâre even more confused than I first thought. You do not have the luxury of choice here.â
Your stomach clenches. Roils and heaves. The dread that settles over you is debilitatingly crushing but you canât quite stop yourself from looking up at him now, brows drawn in confusion and agony alike. âWhat do you mean?â Itâs barely more than a whisper.Â
âWhat I mean is simple. I own you.â He hisses it, punctuating that statement with an aggressive twist of your nipples to make you shriek. âUntil that loan is paid off in full, you belong to me. Your life is in my hands, pet. If I decide youâre going to go stand naked in the town square and present yourself to every man walking by until you find a taker then that is precisely what you are going to do. Is that clear enough for you?âÂ
You squawk out a frantic, wild sound that might be a âyesâ and, to your reeling surprise, he immediately lets up on your poor breasts entirely. Just like that his mood seems to shift back to the usual placid tone and soft smiles, and you violently shudder as he soothes his palms over your aching teats as if to lessen the hurt. You canât even begin to make sense of it but the relief you feel is staggering, and you force your quaking body to relax into it as much as you can manage. Of course youâd known what he was hiding under that pleasant facade, had seen it peek out on more than one occasion, but this was far beyond what even you had thought him capable.Â
Perhaps you shouldnât have been surprised though. Maybe you should have expected it on some level, but you now knew how very fine the line you were walking really was. He could do anything at all to you if the notion struck his fancy and something told you making you sell your body on the streets was only a small drop in the bucket. He was evil and deranged. Cutthroat. You had to play your cards very carefully if you wanted to avoid the worst of it.Â
You repeat that to yourself, over and over again in your mind like a mantra when he finally reaches for your pants. It takes everything you have not to scream and kick, spit at him like a wild animal, but you manage, somehow, to just lay there, allowing him to get them pulled down your legs right along with your soft drawers. Left in nothing but your socks and the rumpled up heap of jackets and shirts bunched around your arms, you shyly squeeze your legs together to hide from him. You didnât want him to see your most intimate spot. To look upon you like a lover would, but you donât fight it when he grabs your hips and pulls you closer to the edge of the table.Â
You had to play nice. Had to be good for him so he wouldnât sell you to anyone that could afford to pay the hefty price tag he would no doubt ask for. Just the thought of him taking you makes bile rise in the back of your throat but even in the jittery panic coursing through your system you still recognized exactly how limited your options were. This was the lesser of two evils. You hated it beyond measure, but it was the far more bearable alternative.Â
So you hold your breath, head spinning at an alarming rate, when he nudges your knees apart. Let them fall open in a shameless spread that leaves you bared to him and vulnerable. Your face feels like itâs on fire and furious tears sting your eyes, but you just clench your hands into tight, shaking fists. The nails dig in to lance pain through your palms and it helps ground you. Steadies your nerves even when he coos down at you with a saccharine sweetness.Â
âAnd such a pretty pussy too ⌠I admit, Iâm rather impressed. I didnât take you for the sort.â
You adamantly refused to respond to him now, leaving your mouth pursed in a thin line and your head turned away so you could keep your attention locked on the door. You should have shoveled the snow. Should have considered your situation a little more carefully.Â
The featherlight brush of Pantaloneâs fingertips on your cunt makes you jolt, almost pulls your head back around, but you stay firm on this. Prone and pliant for him as he traces a brief path down your slit before nudging into the lips to feel for your entrance. You wince at the contact, grimacing when he worms one long digit into your body even when he meets resistance, even though your shuddering muscles try to keep him out. The drag of his glove along your inner sleeve pulls a muffled hiss from you but he doesnât even seem to notice. Or maybe he just doesnât care.
âTight too. That will help your value price a great deal. Tell me, poppet. You wouldnât happen to be a virgin, would you?âÂ
You donât much appreciate the note of humor in his voice, the sly inflection that would seem to suggest he found the prospect amusing. Delightful, even. Seething through your teeth at the uncomfortable penetration, you canât help but squirm with the overwhelming urge to run away. âNo.â You practically growl the word. âIâm not, you sick bastard.âÂ
Chuckling softly, he takes a moment to fuck into you with his finger, soon adding a second to stretch you out, but it does little in the way of good. There was too much tension thrumming through your body; too many aches and pains, and fast pumping adrenaline, and not nearly enough pleasure to be found on his cool digits to draw any amount of wetness out of you. But you keep your legs spread because you know thatâs what is expected of you. You donât protest when he eventually withdraws his fingers and reaches up to flick your shirt back open where youâd tried to pull it closed over your chest to stave off some of the cold. And you just lay there, unmoving save the harsh rise and fall of your labored breaths, when he reaches down to spread open his cloak before working to free himself from his pants.Â
You donât look. You canât look, your heart painfully wrenching as he shuffles close to line his cock up. The blunt pressure of the head sinking into your slit steals the air from your lungs and you freeze, holding yourself so still it makes the joints scream in protest when he slowly starts to sink into you. Inch by excruciating inch, he bullies his way into your cunt and you choke on a pitiful little sound when your body is forced to grant him entry. It hurts. The smooth, silky texture of his length does nothing at all to ease the discomfort when you were trembling so stiffly and your guts were tight with fear. Pantalone just grunts over top of you though, his fingers sinking into the flesh of your hips tight enough to make bruises bloom under the pressure.Â
And finally, an eternity later, he settles against you at long last.Â
A wounded groan spills from your mouth as you sensitively twitch on his cock. He was so hot, so blindingly warm inside you, it felt like he was branding you from the inside out. Leaving his mark where no one else would ever be able to see it. Youâd never be able to forget the claim heâd made on your body though, with or without his stamp seared into your flesh, and you wheeze, trying very hard not to hyperventilate. Somehow spewing your guts up all over him didnât seem like it would do you any favors.Â
âOh, that is a tight fit, isnât it?â He murmurs, allowing himself a moment to just bask in the squeeze of your body. The weak palpitations trying to push him out which only succeed in milking at him. A pleasurable tremor works through his frame, and he reaches up to adjust the position of the glasses on his nose where theyâd started to slide forward. âYou certainly know how to make a good case for yourself, pet. I admit, Iâm suddenly feeling less inclined to sell you for a profit and more partial towards keeping you for my own personal use.âÂ
Stiffening on the table, you shoot him a quick, wild look before you can stop it, but he just laughs, very softly.Â
âDonât look so surprised. You arenât nearly as clever as you think.â Loosing a breathy, almost dreamy sigh, Pantalone starts to slowly pull out and you jolt so hard at the gripping drag against your innards that you slam your head back into the wood with a resounding thud. âI had my suspicions when you stopped struggling but you didnât even have the decency to beg me to stop. Although I do appreciate the cooperation on your part, I still wasnât entirely convinced you would be worth the trouble. Housing, feeding, upkeep ⌠there are so many different things to consider when one is thinking of taking on the responsibility of a new pet.âÂ
He pauses, the head of his cock just wedged inside your cunt now. Tipping his face down, he regards the sight of you spread out for him, on your back with your legs curled open around his waist and his rigid length poised to spear back into you. It makes him hum a quiet groan, his usually placid smile growing a little sharper. Hungrier. He looks at you like a finely dressed conqueror about to lay ruin to a yet untouched and fertile land. His for the taking.Â
Slowly, he starts to sink in again. âBut this sweet little cunt of yours is taking me so well. Even without the proper preparations you still fit me like a glove. Like you were made just for my cock ⌠tell me, darling, will you be a good pet for me?âÂ
âY - yes âŚâ You seethe, once more screwing your eyes shut so you wonât have to look at him. Flawless and beautiful, and horrible hunching over you.Â
There was an end in sight though, if you could just reach out and grasp it. Clutch it to your chest with fervent hysteria and never let it go. Heâd already damned you but you were willing to take your salvation wherever you could get it. The mere thought of other men having you like this, all strangers, faces youâve never seen before; the old and the young, the sick and the drunk, is enough to steel your resolve. If this was to be your fate you would much rather suffer solely at Pantaloneâs hands than anyone elseâs.Â
And he moans, ever so faintly, at your acquiescence. Starts to pump into you a bit quicker, ignoring the way your face pinches in pain and discomfort. âWill you do everything I say, poppet? Will you be a nice and obedient dog for me? Will you call me master?âÂ
The breathy quality of his voice makes your stomach wrench and threaten to regurgitate all of its contents, but you force yourself to stiltedly nod. âYes, I will. Anything ⌠m - master.âÂ
âSuch a good, smart girl you are.â He laughs. âThen will you suck his cock for me?âÂ
You go ramrod stiff, a fresh surge of horror washing over you. It crashes against you like turbulent ocean waves hitting the rocks on a beach, slamming with enough force to slowly chip away at their density over time. Youâd forgotten about the masked man. So caught up in your own misery his presence had completely slipped your mind for the last however many minutes, but when you stiffly turn your head, you find him already working to undo the front of his pants. Evidently he did not need to be told twice.Â
And, to your lurching horror, you clearly had very little choice in the matter.Â
âWait â thatâs not what you said!â You squeak, shooting Pantalone a wide eyed, wild look, but he just purses his lips at you. Coos like he would at a baby.Â
âAlthough I might be willing to keep you for myself that doesnât necessarily mean I wonât deign to share you from time to time, for my own amusement. Besides, itâs just your mouth. Iâm much more concerned with this tight cunt of yours.âÂ
He groans, low and faltering as his pace starts to pick up more. The dull whap of his clothed hips meeting the fleshy give of your thighs grows louder, more insistent, his cock relentlessly carving out a space within you now. It seems to punch the air out of your lungs and you gasp, bleating helplessly there on the table.
A hand suddenly materializes under your chin and locks around your jaw to yank your head back at an awkward angle. You catch a split second glimpse of the cock bobbing in your face, chest hitching in surprise and distress, and horror at what was happening to you, but it was too late. The masked man angles his pelvis forward and roughly shoves himself into your mouth. You shriek around the intrusion, tears stinging your eyes at the cloying taste of him. Salty and musky, bitter enough to make your skin crawl, but thereâs nothing you can do about it. He just keeps your neck pinned down while Pantalone fucks into you even harder, his moans becoming louder when your body subconsciously squeezes him every time you writhe.
It was like you were being stretched between two equally unrelenting forces and even trying to twist away does nothing to make it better. Your breasts just jostle violently with each thrust from the man positioned between your legs and your throat constricts painfully when the masked stranger tries to shove his length straight down your gullet. Coughing and sputtering, struggling just to breathe, you force yourself to go still again and just accept what was happening on the slim chance that would make it somehow more tolerable.Â
But of course it doesnât. The unknown Fatuus doesnât stop trying until your face is covered in a slimy, bubbling sheen of spittle and saliva that slowly runs back into your hair. Finally, after many attempts that have left your throat bruised and raw, he at last manages to sink himself halfway into the squeezing passage and you violently jerk when you realize you canât breathe. A tiny, muffled noise manages to escape your constricting airway, but he just groans in response and shudders as if it felt good. You quickly become lightheaded, stomach heaving as if to finally throw up but â he suddenly pulls out to leave you desperately gasping and choking in the aftermath.Â
Weakly, you try to lift your head with the intention of sending Pantalone an imploring look but the other man just palms the top of your skull and manually turns you back towards his cock again. Not having a choice, you pitifully roll your eyes up to look at him instead even as you take his length back into your mouth. You can see him snarling under his mask from this angle, his lips pulled back in a sneer of concentration while he thrusts towards the back of your aching throat to drag out more sticky sheets of drool that run down your chin in messy clumps.Â
It is not this degradation that finally breaks you, nor is it the fact Pantalone is using you like a mere toy for him to get off on. What eventually does it is the sticky wet click you just manage to make out over all the other lurid sounds buzzing around you, and you dully realize itâs coming from between your legs. Your cunt was slicking for him. Against your will, defying all logic and reason, your body was responding to this cruel treatment. That horrifies you perhaps more than anything else and, letting out a wailing sob, you let the tears spill out to track hot, stinging paths down your burning face.Â
The masked man clicks his tongue as if disgusted to see you crying like this, and he finally lets up his hold on your jaw. Allowing your head to loll bonelessly on the table, you just lay there while he reaches down to grab a pinching handful of your swaying breast, squeezing it so hard you groan in response.Â
Between your spread legs, Pantalone issues a quiet, insidious chuckle. âPoor thing. You already look so tired ⌠not to worry though. Iâm sure a nice warm bath back at the palace will have you back to sorts quickly enough.âÂ
You hiccup at the thought, distantly realizing how cold you were. Yes, this was certainly the best outcome you could have hoped for. Pantalone would take care of you. Feed you. Keep you warm and clean, and comfortable so long as you were obedient. A nice pet for him to play with whenever the mood struck. It wasnât exactly the life youâd dreamed of, but at least it was something.Â
It wasnât the prosperous lands of opportunity in Liyue youâd longed for as a child when your father was still alive, but at least it was a marginally better life than the one you currently had.Â
The toll it would have on your body and mind alike seemed a reasonable price to pay for your freedom from debt. After all, what other choice did you even have?

KNB boys getting caught with their s/o? Specifically Kagami, Kise and Aomine.
getting caught doing what hm? 𤨠jk jk!! that's a very fun request I really enjoyed writing these hcs so thanks for the request babe đđ (also sorry took me so long but coming from me are we surprised lmao)
MDNI 18+
GETTING CAUGHT // KNB Headcanons
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/de4cee377dabd8d0c4679e55ccae20c4/7b08a99ed30e55ed-78/s540x810/83346221a679164732dae93642855a073414be41.jpg)
Context: what if you and your boyfriend get caught in action, huh? All characters are aged-up for plot purposes (18+).
Pairings: Kagami + Kise + Aomine x gn! Reader
Warnings: nsfw (obviously đ)! mention of sex (penetrative and oral), exhibitionism, public sex (kinda), more crack than sexy tbh but still!
KAGAMI
Ok first, let's preface by saying that it really is not like Taiga to take the risk of having sex when he knows you guys might get caught
He really tries his best to conceal his needs till you can find a place with enough intimacy to proceed
But sometimes, he really can't help it, you know?
And it's kinda on you for tempting him too! You know the guy gets riled up easily so maybe you did it on purpose now... didn't you?
(In other words, it's a 100% your fault oops)
Anyways, long story short, you got him so turned on that he had no choice but to drag you to the closest room with the very clear intent of being burried deep inside you
He's midway through restlessly thrusting into your tight little hole and he's so lost on the feeling that he doesn't even realize how loud the both of you are
There could be a whole party going down, y'all would still be heard
And it doesn't take long for someone to walk in on you bend forward, Kagami's fat cock drilling into you with so much fervour
Neither of you realizes that someone's there till they make themselves heard
A string of "oh my fucking god, I'm so sorry!!" getting the both of you to look at the door with wide eyes
And Kagami is so stunned on the moment to even think
Under the surprise, his first reflex is to hide his dick completely inside you, getting a surprised yelp out of your mouth
And when it hits that you guys got caught, he goes flushed red
Given that the person catching you isn't a perv, they close the door rapidly after but Kagami is still under total shock
He doesn't move for a while, and you have to bring him back to Earth
So here you are, Taiga's dick deep in your guts, trying to move to get him to react or something
"Uh... Taiga? What-"
When he finally snaps out of it, he hurrily gets out of you, quite to your displeasure though
And it's when you grab him and pull him back to you that he realizes that you have no intention to stop, despite getting caught
"They already know anyways, doesn't change a thing"
KISE
Definitely the one that got you in that situation in the first place
LISTEN there's no way he's not gonna use his charms to get you to follow him in his ministrations
So he just had to bat his pretty eyelashes and tell you the right words for you to accept the position you're currently in
Meaning split in half by Kise, as he lets out the prettiest moans ever, like there's not a whole crowd on the over side of the wall
It doesn't take long for people to notice what you two are doing
But that doesn't stop Kise, oh no haha
He's a showman of sorts, so it doesn't bother him that to the surrounding, it is clear as day that he's fucking you senseless
Only when someone actually shows up to tell you to stop does he care
And not because he minds being seen in such position
Mainly because you seem very embarrassed that you've got caught
Kise would argue that you are at your hottest when your face's flushed, hair disheveled, body contorsioned to accomodate him in between your thighs, but that's Kise's very biased opinion
To a stranger, it's a rather scandalous sight so it's very likely that you'll hate being in such predicament
Lucky for you, Kise talks the way out of trouble for the two of you
But you still urge him to leave the place and go to somewhere we're it's actually acceptable to have sex
(He loves you so much and is so needy for you though, he can't even stand the drive back home, he'll go back deep into you in the car itself <3)
AOMINE
Alright for this one, if you're wondering how you ended up having public sex, the answer is rather simple
Daiki and you are just super horny and can't keep it in your pants (sorry đ)
It's really in the heat of the moment y'all figured that nothing mattered
Not even the fact that you're giving him head in a very public space
He's just so tempting, you know!!
And he's been looking at your lips for the past hour, so you should have known that he'd end up begging for you to suck his dick
So you just found the first place where you could get on your knees and didn't hesitate twice before getting him out of his pants
Now here you are, sloppily giving him the best head of his life with a bunch of strangers around
I'd like to say that neither of you are exhibitionist but this situation is somewhat super hot
(Again, y'all are just super horny)
Anyways, doesn't take long for you two to get caught and nearly cause a heart attack to whoever sees you
Thing is!! Aomine has no intention to stop
You neither, by the way
You're both on a mission to make him cum so you're not stopping
Instead, you pick up the pace, till he finally snaps and cum down your throat
Swallowing it all because you shouldn't leave any trace!
Once that's done, you do apologize to your surrounding
Takes a couple of hours for you two to realize what you've done and that it's lowkey a public offense
Promise that it won't happen again but Aomine really can't help wanting you anytime and anywhere :)

Jason Wanna meet for breakfast? Y/N?

Y/n Mm donât know what youâre talking about And isnât there a rule where a guy has to wait a least three days Before you ask the girl out again
Jason Apparently My brother advised me the same thing But since I could care less what he thinks about my relationship I have decided to ignore him and take the plunge and ask you anyways Besides he barely listens to his own advice So to each their own I guess

Jason Couldnât tell you So, breakfast?

Y/n I rescind my statementÂ

Y/N Guilty Iâm sorry Iâve spent thirty minutes debating on whether or not to ditch my family for you
Jason But in the end youâre ditching me Feels like your running from something I see how it is
Y/N Iâm sorry D: Iâm not running away or anythingÂ
Jason Itâs okay, really Iâm not mad or anything Okay, maybe a little disappointed But heâs your dad and you donât know whenâs the next time you see him So itâs okay, donât feel bad Iâll wait around until your back And I know your not, I just took the joke too far and Iâm sorry
Y/n Iâm still sorry
Jason Can I call you?
Y/N Uhhhhhhh Give me a minuteÂ
Jason Take as much time as you need I can wait
Y/n Sweet of you But I needed to find a seat first And then my headphones
Jason So Youâre good now?
Y/n Yup
It didnât take more than a second before your phone rang after you sent the message.
âI thought you wanted to call?â you answered, moving your phone so Jason could see your face. He shrugged, shooting you a smile.
âWanted to see your pretty face is all,â he said, and you could feel your face heat up at the compliment. Averting your eyes, you sink in your seat, trying to hide your face in your sweater. âAwe, is this what you look like when you get flustered? Thereâs no way I can't stop flustering you now. If this is what your reaction is going to be every time I do.â
âIâm hanging up now,â you mumbled into your sweater, and wondered if he heard that. Judging by the smile he gave you, he did.
âNah, I donât think so. You called my face pretty and you wanted to kiss it,â he said. That made you come out of your sweater and glared at him.
âI think I said stupid face,â you corrected, âyou have a stupid face.â
âThat you want to kiss,â Jason pointed out with a smile. You stuck out your tongue at him, making him laugh. âHowâs the train ride?â
You shrugged, shifting in your seat trying to get comfortable. âA train ride I guess. We just left the station and itâll be two hours until we get to Metropolis? My butts gonna hurt once I get there.â
âGotta walk around once in a while,â Jason reminded, âdid you bring anything for the ride?â
âYeah, homework I still need to finish, my sketchbook and some books Iâve been meaning to read.â
âSounds like a party,â Jason joked. You huffed out a laugh.
âOh yeah, real life of the party over here.âÂ
Before either of you could continue, you faintly heard a door slamming open and closing before hearing a faint call of Jason! You promised me breakfast! From what you could make out, it was a female voice and you pushed down the bout of jealousy that came from nowhere. You didnât have the right to be jealous. Jason wasnât yours, he was his own person and you two werenât seeing each other officially. He was free to do what he pleased. Still, you couldnât lie and say that it didnât hurt.
You watched as Jason scowled, and turned towards the voice. âYeah, give me a minute Iâm on the phone.â
You schooled your features and raised an eyebrow as he turned back to his phone. âYou already had breakfast plans, yet you still tried to make them with me? Wow Jason, didnât know you had that in you.â
âOkay, first of all, Iâm not a two timing bitch,â he clarified and you blanched at the statement. Damn, and you thought you hid it well. âAnd like I said before, Iâd ditch my family for you any day of the week without question.â
âAw Jason, youâd ditch your own sister! I see how it is,â the female voice said. Jason made a face as a blond haired girl came into frame, hanging off of Jasonâs shoulders. Her nose pressed into his cheek and she smiled. âTell me how you really feel, Jason.â
âOkay, I will,â he said, shoving her off, âyouâre an annoying little shit.â She laughed and turned towards the phone. She was pretty, you had to admit.
âOh, Timâs right. You are cute,â she said, and you pulled your sweater over your mouth, trying to keep a laugh in as Jason looked offended.
âSteph!â he yelled, shoving her face out of frame. âGo away.â
âNo, you promised me breakfast last night, and I demand pancakes,â she said, coming back in, shoving Jason out of frame as she did so. She turned to you and smiled. âHello, Iâm Jasonâs sister Stephanie. You must be Y/N, itâs nice to meet you. Iâve heard virtually nothing about you.â
âAnd Iâm trying to keep it that way,â he grunted, pushing her away. The two fought until finally they settled with Stephanie leaning on his shoulder. âHowâd you even know their name?â
âTim,â she answered. You raised your eyebrow in question. âHe gets bored when he has nothing to do. And he decided to snoop around Jasonâs life.â
âWell Iâll try not to be offended,â you said, though you furrowed your brows in concern. âShould I be worried?â
âI donât think so,â Stephanie hummed, ânot unless you have something to hide.â
âDo you have something to hide?â Jason pressed, a teasing smile dancing on his lips. You puffed out your cheeks and looked away.
âOooh you do,â Stephanie sang, âtell us before we find out from Tim.â
âTim needs to mind his own fucking business,â you muttered to yourself, causing Jason to laugh. âAnd no, I have nothing to hide. Lived a pretty boring life.â
âDonât know, you tried killing your sister once,â Jason mused.Â
âI didnât try on purpose! I pushed her off the deck into the lake,â you corrected, âand my dad got to her before anything could happen. Man, he was pissed. I feared for my life that day. Iâve never known fear until I saw the look he gave me.â You shuddered at the memory.
âHow old were you?â Stephanie asked, worry laced in her words. You shrugged, staring at the corner of your phone, avoiding their gaze.
âTen I think? Could be younger, I donât know. Thought it would be funny, and it was until it wasnât.â
âDid he hurt you?â Jason asked, you shook your head and moved your gaze to him.
âNo. But the way he looked, he wanted to. If we were alone he probably would have. I booked it into the car and hid there until we went home. Then I hid in my room for the rest of the day.â
âYikes. Why was he so mad? Bruce wouldnât have been if we did something like that.â
âThatâs because we knew how to take care of ourselves and we knew how to swim,â Jason pointed out.
âAnd he probably doesnât have favourites,â you chimed in. You hummed in thought, ignoring the worried looks the two siblings were giving you. âBut he doesnât strike me as picking a favourite among his kids, unless heâs really good at hiding it. But no parent is that good at hiding that.â
âHave experience, do you?â Jason asked, you only hummed not wanting to elaborate. You arenât sure how, but what was supposed to be a lighthearted conversation turned sour. You scrunched up your nose as a thought occurred to you. If it was this easy to talk to both Jason and Stephanie, you were afraid how the rest of his family would be. âWhatcha thinking about?â
âWhat you guys are having for breakfast,â you said instead of you voicing your thoughts.
âOoh yes. I did come here for breakfast,â Stephanie said, as if she had forgotten the reason for being here. She turned to him and poked his cheek. âMake me pancakes with bacon and ham and eggs and everything.â
âHow can you eat so much and not gain anything,â Jason grumbled as he moved off the couch and towards the kitchen. Stephanie shifted slightly so she was more centered to the camera.
âI work out,â she simply said with a shrug. Jason grumbled something, and since he was too far away you couldnât hear what he said. âSo, howâd you meet Jason anyways? Tim wonât say and Jason doesnât want to talk about you when asked.â
âThatâs because you pester me so much that I donât want to talk about them,â Jason called, âand you donât have to answer anything you want too, Y/N. Donât let Stephanie bully you into answering questions.â
âItâs okay, Jason, I donât mind. I know what itâs like to have siblings,â you said with a smile. âWe met online. Started talking a few weeks back and havenât stopped since.â
âAh, you guys are still new,â Stephanie mused, âthat means you can still back out before you guys get too serious.â You laughed at the same time Jason yelled hey! âKidding, Iâm kidding. I havenât seen Jason happy in awhile. Please stick around, heâs more bearable when heâs happy.â
You watched as Jason stalked towards her, and plucked the phone from her. âIf all you came here for was to make fun of me, you can go home without your food.â
âNoooo, Jason Iâm sorry,â you heard Stephanie whine. And you couldn't be sure, but you saw Stephanie grovel a little bit on the floor. Although Stephanie couldnât see Jasonâs expression, you could and smiled at the little smile he shot you.
âThen go take a shower, you stink,â he said, and she was quick to race to the bathroom. âYour clothes are still here from last time!â he called and set the phone down so watch him as he prepared breakfast. âSorry about her. I completely forgot she was coming over today.â
âNo worries,â you dismissed, watching in awe as Jason cut up some vegetables with ease. âShe was fun to talk to.â
âPrefer her over me, huh?â
âNope. I like you more,â you said. âWhereâd you learn how to cook?â
âAlfred taught me when I was young, and I kept going afterwards. Found it helped me when things got too stressed,â he explained. âStress cooking is a lot healthier than other ways to deal.â
âI get that,â you mused, âI stress clean.â
âNothing wrong with that,â he grunted. He stopped for a moment and looked towards you; eyes narrowed. âDid you have breakfast this morning?â You bit the top of your lip and avoided looking at him. âY/N,â Jason said in warning.
âIt was too early to eat!â you cracked, âI had a coffee and that was it.â Jason shook his head, going back to his food.
âI hope you eat something soon.â
âI packed some snacks. But theyâre nothing compared to what youâre making for breakfast.â
 âWell next time actually eat something or else Iâll just have to come over and cook for you.â
âThat a threat?â
âNo, more like a promise.â
âIâll hold you to that,â you said with a smile.Â
âStop flirting and cook me my food!â Stephanie yelled after the quickest shower you have ever seen someone take.Â
âSo fucking demanding,â Jason grunted as you laughed.
âI should let you go so you can focus on the food instead of getting distracted,â you mused.
âBut youâre the only kind of distraction Iâd like,â he said, and you heard Stephanie gag. Laughing, you shook your head, trying to keep from blushing. âOkay maybe youâre right. Or otherwise, Iâm going to throw Steph out the window.â
âHa! I would like to see you try!â
Jason rolled his eyes and flicked them towards you. âLet me know when youâre there?â
âI can do that.â
---
Y/N (11:30 am) Ugh, I hate train rides
Jason Could have flown
Y/N Yeah but train tickets are cheaper
Jason True Made it in one piece?
Y/N Yup Now Iâm making my way to the hospital
Jason Someone picking you up?

Jason Oh yeah, the best
Y/n I can hear the sincerity from hereÂ
Jason Almost to the hospital?
Y/n Yeah I gotta go
Jason Tell me how it goes
Y/N (2:40 pm) I shouldnât have come Why did I say yes?
Jason Because you were sleep deprived and you canât say no to your sister Also because your dads in the hospitalÂ
Y/n Right Heâs fine by they way, now heâs just recovering Doctors say they did what they could and heâll be out of here in a couple of days
Jason Figured out what the surgery was about?
Y/N Nope and at this point Iâm too afraid to ask
Jason Wow Why do you have regrets?
Y/n I donât know how or why But somehow my sister figured out I was seeing someone Or at least talking to someone and kept pestering me until I told them Iâve been bamboozledÂ
Jason Guess Iâm not your dirty little secret anymore huh
Y/n Guess it wasnât meant to be Oh well canât be helped
Jason So now that your dads fine, you coming home?
Y/n No Somehow I have been convinced to stay the night and take the morning train in the morning Which sucks, I already bought my ticket for tonightÂ
Jason Thatâs rough buddy
Y/n Canât be helped I guess Now I get to play 20 questionsÂ
Jason But at least you get to spend time with your family
Y/n True
Jason you know, if you want I can drive up there and take the train with you
Y/N That is very sweet of you and very tempting But you have work and I donât want to inconvenience you
Jason Youâre not an inconvenience If anything, youâd be doing me a favour I have the day off tomorrow and Iâve been meaning to do something Iâm not very good at doing nothing
Y/N What about your bike?
Jason When I said drive, I meant the loosely Iâd take the train or fly Or I can drive us back I have a car too, you know
Y/N Where would you stay?
Jason I have a friend living there that Iâve been meaning to visit Plus we can go for breakfast tomorrow before making the trip back
Y/N Very tempting But ultimately Iâm not going to tell you what to do Itâd be your choice
Jason See you in the morning then

For the "Get to know your fic writer!" ask game: 11, 26, 41 and 55? :3
omg i missed thissss!! from here
Link your three favorite fics right now
I have a fair few bookmarks and a lot I love but right at this moment I'm truly obsessed with leave the door ajar by arcane_finn, wanna hold him (maybe I'll just sing about it) by kirkfall, and the space before morning by caspercryptid - you'll notice a pattern here, lol.
Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?
i'm tempted to bring up the venom fic since its pretty insane. if not that one⌠probably glorious epilogue. i think its got a lot more twists and turns than my usual fare.
omg i forgot about that baywatch fic i wrote after watching it on an airplane with a half-functioning headphone jack. certainly ranks up there imo.
Do you tend to reread fics or are you a one-and-done kind of person?
i reread! i reread like crazy. i have a fair few fics downloaded to my phone which i consider super-classics. i also end up rereading by accident alllll the time. because i'm kinda picky tbh.
Of the characters you write for, which is your favorite? Has that choice been swayed at all by your followers/readersâ reactions to certain ones?
this is a tough question honestly⌠i think like. tim and jason, even tho i've actually written them very little, because i have very stern opinions about their characterizations. jayce and viktor are kinda similar in that i don't agree with some of the characterizations i see, so writing them is kinda⌠like special.
I don't think that's really based on my readers reactions. I've obviously gotten the most traction and done the most with FFXV... of the FFXV boys I find Noctis the easiest and least interesting to write, and Ignis the hardest. But I'm not sure I strictly have a favorite to write among them.
Currently I like writing Jayce the most because I really like trying to nail dialogue that I can sorta "hear" in his voice. And I love writing Viktor but he's waaaay harder to get perfect, at least for me.

ok so the familiar has established that LB will write only one dynamic. & only two characters. right? I mean not that I'm complaining. I'm eating it up EVERY time
Itâs honestly not as egregious of a 1:1 as Ninth House was imo, but there are a lot of similarities!!
I have no idea if youâve already read this book anon but Iâm about halfway through and Iâm going to use this as an excuse to talk about some of the things that caught my eye.
So SantĂĄngel is described like this:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/0a6046a53d497d8f43f2e5c13f6785b2/4a68d76b199cbf6a-fe/s540x810/e6d19876f529ee1fb51c30be05b5b0dd65c77b4b.jpg)
And dhfgf I canât help but think of like âthe Darkling but if the TGT magic system was actually consistent and he had gotten the same sickly + white hair effect like Alina from using so much merzostâ (and heâs always described as wearing black rip)
MEANWHILE his presence makes Luziaâs magic stronger⌠or amplifies it⌠perhaps⌠?
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/c01214967d611f3f21af946aa752bfe7/4a68d76b199cbf6a-16/s540x810/7b907dac4eeec8a5b0ff476b40993f265e2b77ae.jpg)
He doesnât have much backstory yet (âŚaside from being a family heirloom magical servant Hellsing style. this book is a very funny combination of my interests) so she might explain whatâs going on with him differently? But atm itâs very like. lol.
I think the character has a fair bit of Kaz DNA too tbh. Which might be why heâs actually not landing for me that well. Not deranged enough.
Anyway to further tinfoil hat, Luzia reminds me a LOT of Alina but also specifically RoW era Zoya when sheâs rejigged to fit a very Alina esque role? I mean the entire âpeasant with unheard of powers is swept into a life of luxury and intrigueâ is very Alina to begin with. And the theme of her trying to walk the line between her power being viewed as something holy vs being denounced as witchcraft feels very TGT. But Luzia is ambitious and more assertive in a way that reminds me of how she wrote Zoya in the duology.
Luziaâs also constantly tempted by some, currently unnamed, larger dangerous power next to the safer magic she usually does. And itâs written almost exactly like how LB wrote Alina being tempted by the amplifiers.
So it feels like a retread in a lot of respects! That being said idk Iâm kind of lukewarm on it. I honestly think sheâs trying a touch too hard to sell the romantic dynamic? I keep wishing they had more conflict lol. Hopefully the second half will make up for it.
Iâm having fun regardless!

ok this is research anon. might i ask you(if you are thinking of rewriting. Which I hope you do but not pressure obv):
1. will moira's sword come into play? if alistair knows that it was gaspard that returned the Rebel Queen's sword perhaps they might use it as a symbol to pacify the nobles?
2. in the end do you think gaspard's gambit for the throne could succeed?
3. how do events of inquisition influence what is happening? sorry if i missed something but this is happening after it yeah?
4. YOUR WARDEN. I AM CURIOUS. PLEASE TELL.
.Reaearch Anon I do love you for this đ Iâm very tempted to write something because itâs likeâŚ. Nobody else is going to lbhâŚ.. đ.
.OH this is a bit long, have a read more đ.
.1. I didnât know that happened tbh, where is this info???? I love this?? Gaspard my Liege, my Lord, my Emperor, this is absolutely bang on in character for him đŠđâ¨. Iâm gonna be completely honest I read half of the books and they kind of suck so I probably missed a lotâŚ. Unless itâs in the GAME???? (I do need this info, I will use this, the sword imagery girl!! Itâs phallic!! Itâs a knight in shining armour!! Itâs giving a sword to a King!! Itâs giving!!)
.2. THAT would be a spoiler now wouldnât it ;) but I also think he wouldnât want to rule Ferelden, but I also think he could actually become a good King, I mean heâs been practicing for it his entire life, he was born to be an Emperor after all, and also he hates the Grand Game, heâs not going to be frippery and nonsensical with politics and stuff, but also he is a warmonger soâŚ. I mean, is he? He fights off a Nevarran army single-handedly by duelling and destroying their King? Commander? Saving all his men from a war by being hot shit lbh. Idk I canât remember exactly. Heâd be a great King, I love him, I make the rules â¨đ¤ˇââď¸â¨.
.On a side note I 100% think he could take over a country easily, which makes me wonder if he even wanted Orlais as it was, with the Grand Game and the nobles who heâd never respect. Oohhhh. Thatâs smth.
.3. I think uhh I would have to insert a new Inquisitor because Goddard makes Gaspard Emperor and Celene and Briala are both killed offâŚ. But it was set after Inquisition, so I do imagine it would be anywhere between a few months to a few years after. But, in this world state, I could just say the Inquisitor left for whatever reason (idk chasing Solas or something) and Gaspard most likely despises them for allowing Celene to remain as Empress and for killing his sister Florianne, BUT he probably respects them because the Inquisitor did save the world, and his cousin, and give his sister a valiant death in battle? Or does she just get arrested, if she was arrested I imagine he doesnât respect the Inquisitor at all for that. At least sheâs alive? But then again⌠hmmmmmmâŚ. Smth to think about.
.If anything itâll be a background thing, OR insanely I could set it post WEWH and pre-Ending? The inquisition could still be happening⌠OH the humiliation, not only did Gaspard fail to get the Orlesian throne but heâs been exiled for his association with Florianne, they canât trust him at all! Oh! OH! Delicious, yes, delicious đš.
.4. My Warden is Andrastopher Cousland, there is a lot about him floating around on my blog Iâm sure. Heâs 8â 1â or 8â 3â and is an absolute unflinching bastard. Marries Zevran, becomes the Teryn of Gwaren, the Arl of Amaranthine, the Warden Commander of Ferelden, and advisor to the King (he does sub out his work but he will also stomp right back in and take charge at any moment (v annoying)). He also re-titles himself as The Silverlite Warden as a way to split his faction of Wardens away from the Wardens in the north (because wtf are you doing Jowin?) and that is why none of them travel north to help out in Veilguard.
.He absolutely hunts down every Howe who still lives, butchering them and whatnot, spends a lot of his free time painting (mostly naked men and landscapes), he learns the Qun, he has slept with both Hawke and Rook. He steals from nobles because itâs fun and they canât do anything about it, he fills the Warden ranks with criminals, he fills his home with mercenaries, he lets people try to kill him once, and he thinks the only thing heâs bad at is dying.
.ALSO!!! I do want to say my original plan for him was the go through his calling (with Lei MiâDurgenâs help) and becomes a ghoul in the Deep Roads who keeps his mind and like helps Wardens pass through safely or something idkâŚ. Veilguard just did that, they made that canon for me, so like đ¤ˇââď¸ good prediction on my part tbh.
.But if Iâm going to make a non-canon Inquisitor, might as well have a non-canon Warden đđ. RIP Andrastopher I do love you but you would just fight with Gaspard or take over the throne yourself, not a good match and I am stopping this train of thought before I end up shipping HoF/Gaspard because thatâs insane, thatâs insane, no.
#answer#anonymous#gaspard de chalons#not art#.im gonna do it Iâm sure but then again Iâm busy lately but I wanna.#.im definitely thinking about it.

fanfic writer interview
thank you for tagging me @hobbitwrangler!!
How many works do you have on AO3? 40
What's your total AO3 word count? 106,905
Your top 5 stories by kudos/likes:
same mistakes till the morning breaks (tma, elias bouchard/reader)
you're my sunshine and I want you to know (hp, wolfstar)
i miss you, when the lights go out (choices: open heart, ethan ramsey/mc)
tempt my trouble (tma, elias bouchard/oc)
all of my love for you cuts me like barbed wire (the silm, maedhros/maglor)
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? i do! it sometimes takes me a bit but i want to reply to them to show how much i appreciate them
What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending? at first i was gonna say this elimichael fic but i feel like it isn't the ending that is the sad part here but the whole damn fic lmao so uh maybe this aredhel/luthien fic because i rather love the blow the final line deals here lol
What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending? this tooth-rottingly cute wolfstar fic for sure
Do you write crossovers? i haven't and it has never quite been my cup of tea but never say never
Have you ever received hate on a fic? not quite hate i guess but my first witch king tar-miriel fic did get an annoying condescending anon comment about how the timeline doesn't work which is the closest to what i've got
Do you write smut? If so, what kind? 90% of what i write is smut lol i like it when it's a bit angsty and emotionally repressed (or, like, emotionally slow burn although they fuck immediately lmao)
Have you ever had a fic stolen? not that i know of
Have you ever had a fic translated? yes! this russingon fic of mine was translated into russian a while ago which was a very cool experience because i do also know russian myself but def not enough to do the translating myself but it was soooo fun to read your own words translated into another language
Have you ever co-written a fic before? nope. idk if it would be something i'd even be into tbh
What's your all-time favorite ship? unfortunately i still think it is wolfstar, idk which other ship would've been with me for so long. like with tolkien i don't really have just one favourite ship lmao there are so many (ask me again in a year and i might say maemags though)
What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will? i have soooo many half-finished scarlias aus and as much as i want to finish them all i feel like many of them won't. honorary mentions to the arranged marriage au and king lear au which are very galaxy brain of me
What are your writing strengths? short angsty with plenty of things unsaid and hidden between the lines that end with a punch in the gut
What are your writing weaknesses? transitions between scenes, descriptions too probably
What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? complicated? sometimes it is a bit annoying when it gets excessive especially if it's real life languages but sometimes it does work in setting a tone and vibe, like for instance using bits and pieces of sindarin or quenya. ig it is just that it takes a lot of skill to do it in a way that isn't jarring.
What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to? for fandoms i def want to dip in the x files (i mean i do have a silly self insert wip i might yeet into ao3 one day but, like, actual msr fic or something) and i feel like one day i'm gonna want to venture more into star wars too. and then for tolkien ships i haven't written all that much lotr stuff so maybe like try my hand at faramir fic at least
What's your favorite fic you've written? this is pretty interesting because when i started writing this for silm smut week not too long ago i had no idea this would became a favourite of mine but as it turns out i'm so proud of the way this luthien/daeron fic fleshed out and i adore the whole vibe and the picture i managed to paint there and i will forever be riding the high of getting a comment where it was described as "gothic" like wow goals
tumblr hates me whenever i try to tag more than like two people to things so i will only tag @tiesanjiaoshenanigans and ask anyone else who would like to do this do it and say i tagged you xx

Any recs where the hero is a literal trash monster? Kinda like Seb from IHOA where he heâs telling Lillian sheâd like it when they slept together. Youâre both yelling âshut upâ and âgo onâ at the book when this asshole comes in?
I love a villain hero! I think of villain heroes on a sliding scale:
1/5--villain in name only. Can be motivated by a confusion
2/5--a dick, but would/can he actually do it? (Sebastian)
3/5--total asshole, can do it, isn't especially morally bothered, but isn't super MALEVOLENT by nature and can be reasoned with, may be reformed in the end
4/5--a reeeeeal problem, dangerous, amoral, may have loved ones but will probably end on a "he's like... not redeemed.... and doesn't really think he needs to change.... but he'll slow down for his lover" note; he still is cool with wanting the world to burn, but if his love wants otherwise, he'll chill.... not redeemed but CHILLED
5/5--usually violent to the love interest as well, a specific kind of dark romance protagonist wherein you're looking for a bit of torture (metaphorically and literally)
Historical:
Tempt Me at Twilight by Lisa Kleypas--Harry is a 3/5. He's not like, MUAHAHAHAHA cackle, he just doesn't have any scruples about getting what he wants, he doesn't need Poppy to love him, he just needs her to belong to him. He's super effective, but there is something sweet within deep down. I consider Harry worse than Sebastian because Sebastian is incapable of actually getting anything done.
Shadowheart by Laura Kinsale--Allegreto is probably a 4/5 or 4.5/5. I mean, as I've said often.... His first encounter with Elena is non-consensual. I wouldn't say it's like, especially unusual for Kinsale; because she writes people with more accurate perspectives on morality, and Allegreto acts much like a lot of men from the 1300s would. Tbh, though, the big thing is that while he does believe he's going to Hell, he's also not gonna stop being a murderer and master manipulator. And like, he's been iNSANE since he was a teenager, because you see him as a teenager in For My Lady's Heart and that boy... ain't right.
The Madness of Viscount Atherbourne by Elisa Braden--A weak 2/5. Like, he is a dick and he does trap his heroine into marriage and I do find him hot and entertaining. But how bad IS he when you consider everything he thinks he knows? Like, shouldn't bring an innocent woman into this shit! Shouldn't! But he does THINK he has good reasons lol.
The Prince of Broadway by Joanna Shupe--Clay is a 2.5/5, imo. He's much more competent than Sebastian, and much more systematic in his villainous deeds. But he does have, in my opinion, some pretty solid emotional motivations. He's also extremely sexy and runs a casino and jacks off while Florence fingers herself in the same room. I love him.
Duke of Sin by Elizabeth Hoyt--Valentine is like... another 4.5/5, in my opinion. Mostly because he's like. Not abusive to Bridget--but he's also not loving in a NORMAL way, lol. And he does some pretty despicable shit. And some shit that's less despicable but very violent. And some shit that isn't really violent or despicable but is SUPER WEIRD AND CREEPy. Yet he also wears lace and dashes about in pink and/or purple robes with his dick flopping around. We love it!
Imo, a lot of people think Sebastian is going to be like Valentine when they begin Devil in Winter, and are disappointed. And a lot of people think Valentine is going to be like Sebastian when they begin Duke of Sin, and they're liken "OH SHIT" because while Valentine has not like... raped anyone... that we know of.... He has kidnapped SEVERAL women lmao. Like Sebastian did it once and went "mmm I went a bit far there" whereas Valentine was all "BACK TO THE WELL" with the kidnapping.
A Rogue by Any Other Name by Sarah MacLean--Bourne is a 1.5/5. He's a total asshole to Penelope in the beginning of this book, and he does behave like a general trash dude for the first half or so. Giving her her first orgasm from another person and then going "MUAHAHAHA YOU FELL INTO MY HANDS" right after (honestly probs pretty traumatic for her), forcing her to marry him, flaunting the fact that they fucked to his dad. He is good at his plot. But he also slows his roll fairly quickly and does have a very understandable tragic backstory.
Daring and the Duke by Sarah MacLean--Mmmm. Somewhere around Clay Madden here. Ewan would. Ewan DID. But Ewan again has a very solid backstory, and he is very sexy and obsessed with his heroine (would recommend reading the other Bareknuckle Bastards books before his for full effect--they're also just good, but Ewan finding out Grace is alive after thinking she's been dead for years and going APESHIT is so good), which makes for a solid villainous hero.
The Dragon and The Pearl by Jeannie Lin--Li Tao is a very good 3/5. He's a literal warlord and is super good at it. He terrorized his former fiancee (heroine of the previous book) and her family. He begins this book by kidnapping his heroine (classic). But again, solid backstory, and while he'll never pull his punches he's also not at all sadistic. It's business, he just happens to be good at slaughter.
Contemporary(ish):
Mafia Madman by Mila Finelli--Enzo D'Agostino is a strong 4/5, nearing 4.5/5. You meet him in the previous books and he literally calls the previous a heroine a slut (in Italian, so in his defense she wasn't supposed to understand GOD), then kidnaps her to get at her lover (he didn't know she was pregnant??? not his fault) and puts a gun in her mouth. Then, after much torture and four years in hiding, he kidnaps her sister, puts her in a cage naked, and falls in love with her! I love a garbage man! He gives her iPads and enjoys her SPIRIT, okay??? He does sex really good! He ADORES her (and he loves his kids). He just has no desire to be a better person otherwise lol.
Paranormal:
Dreams of a Dark Warrior by Kresley Cole--Declan Chase is like... an interesting and extremely hardcore 3/5 to me, because he does do shit that's way gnarlier than most of the dudes in other books (on Fated Mates they called him Mr. Vivisection... for a reason) but he's basically a highly effective brainwashed weapon. If you like a Bucky Barnes but wanna dial it up to 11 and throw in a heroin addiction? IT'S DC! He's a super dangerous, super brainwashed, incredibly traumatized man (who for the record isn't on heroin anymore... but is kept on a leash by his owners through legal~ substances) who doesn't realize that part of why he was miserable growing up, part of why he felt dead inside and GOT ON DRUGS to feel alive, is because he's a reincarnated berserker who has been desperately, subconsciously searching for his mate, who is immortal and has been avoiding him because whenever she kisses him he ends up dying in his past lives. And now his mission and drive is to kill immortals! And he has her captive! And she's a snarky immature warrior woman who gives him so much shit and makes him feel alive for the first time ever!
Anyway, Declan Chase crosses the line like 72 times but he's an amazingly compelling hero.
Lothaire by Kresley Cole--Like... a hard 4.5/5. Lothaire is the Enemy of Old; he's like one of the main dudes on the Bad Side; he collects favors from other beings, including other heroes and heroines lol, and everyone sits there like "Lothaire is going to ask for my firstborn, oh no!!!"; he puts his heroine in death row for FIVE YEARS "for safekeeping" and then picks her up five years later because she willingly accepts her sentence, and by picks her up I mean he tears through dozens of people while she sits there quaking, shows up covered in gore, and is like "WOW. WOW. CAN'T BELIEVE THIS. YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS WEEK!!!"
He's crazy (literally)! He's funny (sends a wraith off screaming by looking at her and remembering that he fucked her "when she was pretty")! He is completely bowled over by a woman he has no desire to love and then has to pay up in a bIG way! He calls trailers "conveyances" and talks about cock-slapping gnomes!
There's never been a hero I was more excited to read, and he completely lived up to expectations. Lothaire does not REFORM, but he does go "alright dude whatever keeps her alive and happy, I guess I'm on that side". That's how you do a villain. (And Baldur's Gate 3 fans--I have it on good authority that if you like that vampire guy, you should read this vampire guy.)

3, 19 and 28 for the fic writer asks!
Questions taken from this ask game.
3. how you feel about your current WIP
Oh my stars I'm freaking obsessed with it, I love it so much. I have deliberately pushed everything else to the back-burner or further in order to keep focused on it, and I've never been able to (or interested in) maintaining that level of focus for so long before.
It's extremely difficult (and genuinely exhausting) to write in a lot of ways, in part because it requires a very specific Tone that can be hard to maintain, but mostly because even I've never tried to juggle THAT MANY details before, but it's also so damn much fun.
I have to constantly resist the urge to just post everything I have at once immediately because I so desperately want to share it all right away, but I know that with the amount of logistical STUFF going on in this story, I absolutely need to leave myself a buffer for adjusting thingsâso I can't. But it's very very tempting!
19. the most interesting topic youâve researched for a fic
Okay I honestly can't come up with one that sticks out particularly (I've been writing for a long time, you kind of get inured to the idea of looking-up weird stuff lol) but the results of said searches that amuse me the most are the time that google-ads started showing me nothing but ads for a dragon-dildos website as a result of whatever I had been researching at the time for like three weeks...
Said research, btw? might have involved googling dragons once or twice, but definitely have nothing to do with sex toys. Or sex at all, actually. So that was quite the leap to make.
Also, I learned that there was at least one website that specialized EXCLUSIVELY in dragon-themed dildos (which in the early 2000s was more surprising than it would be today, tbf).
28. your least favorite part of the writing process
Hmm honestly probably coming up with the titles tbh! It's sooooo hard, because you can't just slap any title on a story, right? It has to FEEL RIGHT. Sometimes (on extremely rare occasion) a perfect title or chapter title will just pop into my headâbut more often than not, this part of the writing-process involves grumbling around for a long time trying to scrape something half-decent out of the ether.
Also waiting to see what people think of the results but that's more a part of the post-writing process shh.
Thank you for asking! Those were very fun choices.

20 Writer Questions
Tagged by the amazing, the wonderful, the talented @taumoebaa (ily oomfđŤśđť)
1. Total number of AO3 works?
39 (with like double in WIPS đŤŁ)
2. Total AO3 word count?
230,598 đď¸đđď¸
3. Fandoms Iâve written in?
oh boy. Uhhh recently (like 5 years) has been Smosh, DreamSMP and Fourth Wing, as those are the most prominent on my AO3. If Iď¸ still had my Quotev account (the place before AO3) there was definitely Warrior Cats and One Direction back when Iď¸ was 11-13 years old or so. There was probably a murky time in like 2014-2015 where i wrote Hetalia fanfiction on WattPad? But Iď¸ havenât touched wattpad with a ten-foot pole since then.
4. Top 5 Fics by Kudos
1- Would You Follow Me? (DreamSMP)
2- Family Are The Brothers We Found Along the Way (DreamSMP AU)
3- Half Past 3, How Are You? (DSMP AU)
4- Parental Advisory (DSMP AU)
5- The Hair Dye Incident (DSMP AU)
Mainly because when Iď¸ wrote these, it was at the HEIGHT of the DSMP days and that fandom was⌠something⌠It was also the most Iâve written in forever.
5. Do Iď¸ respond to Comments?
Iď¸ try to! Iď¸ respond to about 80-90% of comments as Iď¸ do love getting them and getting that sweet sweet validation.
Gimme all the comments and validation and Iď¸ will love you forever tbh! Iď¸ write for myself but Iď¸ also love to know if people are actually enjoying my work as well, helps justify it when the self-critic is being too loud.
6. What has the angstiest ending?
Parental Advisory most likely. Though Storm in the Pouring Rain is gearing up to be a heartbreaker! đŤĄ
7. What has the happiest ending?
Would You Follow Me! Iď¸ have a little soft spot for this fic tbh even though Iď¸ donât interact with, watch or really even follow along DSMP content creators. Itâs a sweet little fic!
Iď¸ also love Quiet Day In as well, because itâs just soft and fluffy and cute! No stress, no qualms. Just love and affection and comfort đĽş
8. Have Iď¸ received hate?
Hmm Iâve had criticism that Iď¸ didnât want or ask for, of which was very nicely put but was just unwarranted tbh. 99.9% of people who have read my stuff are very sweet and very kind. Thereâs been some comments way back in ye olden days where there was more criticism, mainly just because of how young Iď¸ was when Iď¸ started writing and the internet wasnât as chill.
9. Do Iď¸ write smut? And what kind?
Like once. I hated it and Iâm so tempted to orphan that fic anyways because Iď¸ donât like it. Iď¸ will probably never write it again tbh because Iď¸ just donât like writing it. Reading and writing it myself are two different things in my brain.
10. Do Iď¸ write crossovers?
Nah, not really my cup of tea. Itâs too much to juggle and Iď¸ donât really like crossover fics that Iď¸ have read, so Iď¸ donât read them.
11. Have Iď¸ ever had a fic stolen?
Probably. Honestly it would have been when way back in like 2012-2014 era of writing tbh.
12. Have Iď¸ ever had a fic translated?
Iď¸ think someone has offered to translate a fic of mine but it never came about from what Iď¸ know. Iď¸ exist in a bubble tbh.
13. Have Iď¸ ever co-written a fic?
Iď¸ think so?? When Iď¸ was much much younger in my writing style, Iď¸ think Iď¸ co-wrote a warrior cats fanfic?? I have done a âfinish the ficâ story with one of my mutuals a while ago, if that counts.
14. What is my all-time favorite ship?
Besties idk! I have jumped through so many fandoms in the time Iâve been in fandom that Iď¸ have no clue what my all time favorite ship could possibly be. Iď¸ just love fan works and appreciate the time and effort that goes into them.
15. A WIP Iď¸âll never finish?
Anything critical role related. Iď¸ was in a two year writing slump and Iď¸ started and quit a dozen fics when Iď¸ was neck deep into C2.
16. Writing Strengths?
Probably fluff scenes in my opinion. Anything with a lot of prose and descriptives!
Iď¸ also love writing angst and the hurt/comfort. The tumultuous emotions with an aching want to be held softly and treated like something precious. Mmm Iď¸ love it!
17. Writing Weaknesses?
Fight scenes or anything really action packed. Itâs surprisingly hard to make them flow without seeming repetitive or monotonous in my own experience.
Also smut scenes. Canât write them to save my life. Itâs for the same reasons as fighting scenes. Itâs the same repetitive words and emotions that Iď¸ just prefer skipping over them.
18. Do Iď¸ like foreign language dialogue?
Iď¸ think itâs fantastic! Love the incorporation of foreign languages whether itâs translated to English or not.
19. First Fandom Iď¸ wrote for?
Oh boy⌠Iď¸ think it was either Warrior Cats way back in like 2011??? That or twilight self-insert in that same era. đ
20. Favorite fic Ive written?
My current WIP, Storm in the Pouring Rain is one that Iď¸ am loving right now. Itâs my baby! Otherwise, Iď¸ love the style and flow of Half Past 3, How are You.
Itâs hard for me to pick favorites, because they all reflect really well on where Iď¸ am in my life, and they are all products of myself so Iď¸ like most of my fics. Some are silly, some are sweet and some are really in-depth character studies or angst fics. They all bring a little something to my life that Iď¸ love and appreciate.
Iâm tagging: @dostthouhavekittens @dont-fold-the-pages @mangopit if you want to! Idk any other writers who havenât already done this tbh so Otherwise itâs open to anyone who wants to do this

Mathieu spitting incident roleplay???
So after the spitting incident I knew I needed to do something with this, it just did not feel like I could ethically ignore it. Provoked or not, and he very clearly was, spitting at people is just not a great thing to be doing (now all I can think of was that this was an unenriched and stressed Mathieu demonstrating a natural threat response đ). It was probably a spur of the moment dumb decision, but I just didn't feel as though I could pretend it hadn't happened. Definitely not saying anyone else could or should have to write about it, but for me at least I needed to write him accepting the fact that it was Not A Great Decision (tbh I imagine I spent far more time angsting over this than real Mathieu, who usally seems to sail through controversy) before I could go back to writing him being emotionally mature enough to look after Wout.
Anyway so I'd just written that fic where he wants to play on the swings because he never got the chance to as a kid, so I was still thinking about the idea that Wout had worked very hard through the years with his therapist to ensure he stayed mentally well-balanced, and Mathieu just... hadn't.
So it starts off with them agreeing that they'll roleplay this out with Wout pretending to be some sort of therapist that young child Mathieu's been sent to talk to (Wout is reluctant, because he's not an expert, but he knows Mathieu won't talk to anyone who's actually qualified. Mathieu is blithely confident, sure that they'll faff around for half an hour and then Problem Dealt With, he can move on.)
But as soon as they begin, things begin to go off the rails. As soon as Wout comes back into the room, it's obvious that despite his I Don't Care I Was Right front, underneath it Mathieu's terrified that if he isn't perfect then he's flawed and only worth discarding, and that only when he's successful does he have any value. The two of them start building a house out of Lego, but Wout doesn't know how to help Mathieu deal with what is at its root the product of being praised and feted when he won a race, and being told to use disappointments to push himself harder... and neither did I.
Now I absolutely need to say I really don't think real Mathieu is angsting every time he loses. I just don't think he does! I think he's annoyed about it for a day or so maybe, but like he said in that recent Matt Stephens interview, he sleeps pretty well. I'm sure he doesn't lie awake thinking about all the might-have-beens if he'd lived a less gilded life, and even if he does, it's none of my business what goes on between real Mathieu's ears.
But, at least in the land of fanfiction, he's got such a tantalisingly narrative shape that you can shine a light on him from so many angles and get an intriguingly-shaped shadow. You can project almost any reading onto Mathieu and think, oh huh yeah I can kind of see that making sense. He's so plausible in so many scenarios because there really aren't any inner depths visible. Whether or not they exist in real life, it's so tempting to give in to the urge to give him some thematically-appropriate ones.
Anyway, there it sits, waiting for Wout and me to work out how to convince Mathieu that making a mistake does not mean he's an irredeemably bad person. Which I would very much like to do, because as it ends currently Wout is having a one-sided discussion inside his head about how Hitler isn't a helpful example, and Mathieu is curled up in a ball with his face buried in his knees having a cry. I can only hope that at some point I'll work out what comes after this:
âThat was a good choice you made just now, telling me how youâre feeling,â said Wout, gently rubbing Mathieuâs back. âI know it isnât easy, but Iâm really proud of you for coming to see me today. Sometimes we all make bad choices, thatâs part of being human, but
(Mathieu feels he's disappointed Wout, it ends in a note to myself at the bottom, as though I didn't know that!)
