This took way too fucking long- Everyone, gaze upon the Megatron/Galvatron height chart I made. If someone could get me a cold drink, I would love one, I have been working on this for the better part of a month. 26 separate designs, for one character, across 40 years of history. And I had to exclude a couple, the grand total is like 30 different ones. I left those four out because they were just pallet swaps of a design I already had; It felt redundant to include them.

This guy just can not decide if he's named Megatron or Galvatron sometimes, he just switches between the two names at random. I think in Unicron Trilogy, he switches to Galvatron multiple times, and yes, he does switch back to Megatron before every one.

My brain is kinda broken after finishing this. I worked on this one and the Optimus one at the same time (the optimus one is so much bigger holy shit-) and I've lost the ability to feel pain at this point.

Quick Disclaimer, if any of the images look weird, it's because I had to stitch a few separate images together to create a full body shot of the character.

Links to my Bumblebee Chart and my Optimus Chart. !!NEW!! -> Shockwave, Soundwave, Ratchet, and Ironhide. For future reference, all these charts will be filed under my "Transformers Height Charts" tag and my "aka the adventures of a..." tag. Hopefully, my bumblebee post is acting up and idk if the same issue will happen here.

Master Post

Explanations below the cut, I have to justify myself for a few of these.

G1 Beast Wars V1 - ~9 Feet (PMeg. TFWiki, he's so small. Dinosaur Man is so small)

G1 Beast Wars V2 - ~10 Feet (PMeg. TFWiki, This fucker has roller blades. I'm not fucking with you, they gave the T-Rex Roller Blades and he uses them)

G1 Beast Machines V1 - ~12 Feet (PMEG. The Wiki doesn't have any numbers for Beast machines, sadly, but I found an old forum post comparing the heights to the Beast Wars designs, so I win)

G1 Beast Wars V3/Machines V2 - ~13 Feet (PMEG. The TFWiki says this bitch is like 11.5 meters tall, but no, I've done the math, he is not. If he was, Rattrap, a character who is consistently stated to be 1.8 meters tall across multiple sources in multiple languages is actually not that tall. So no, he's about 2 and a bit Rattraps tall, and that translates to about 13 feet. And I'm pretty sure he reverts into this at some point in Beast machines, though correct me if I'm wrong)

G1 Beast Machines V3 - ~16 Feet (PMeg. This design is identical to the Optimal Optimus design so I'm gonna be lazy and use that number. Not like I have many other options.)

Beast Wars 2 - ~16 Feet (Galv. Idk, the wiki had the number and his name is Galvatron, was I supposed to ignore this? Never gonna watch it, but here it is)

Earth Spark - ~16 Feet 2 Inches (Mega. There are no actual numbers for Earth Spark (yet), but I was able to find Bumblebee's height, which I then compared to Optimus's height, and now I can compare Optimus and Megatron.

Yay!- he's so short it's so fucking funny tiny short man universe)

One V1 - ~17 Feet (Mega. I am aware, of the supposed "Canon Heights" listed on the wiki. 32.462 feet, allegedly. But, have you considered A: These numbers are sourced from the Walmart Promotional AR Experience that came out before the movie. B: There are three decimal points, and that number does not convert into a whole number in meters (which is originally what I thought was weird about it). C: The director has said that this movie is both canon to the LA movies and its own separate canon. AND ALSO Meg is taller than Optimus the entire movie but his height is listed as shorter than him on the wiki. They are the same height by the end of the movie, I call BULLSHIT Walmart; these are not actual numbers I will ignore them POST HASTE! Sadly, Megatron has yet to appear in the KCV live-action movies as I make this, but we know Meg and OP are the same height by the end of TFOne, so knock a couple of feet off this one, and we get pre-cog height)

Netflix Cybertron Trilogy - ~18 Feet (PMeg. Slightly confusing, but there are two Megatrons in this universe, but they are two completely separate characters. This is Predacon Megatron, design-wise identical to his V1 Beast Wars counterpart, but he is much taller in this universe. So I did some admittedly deranged comparisons to other characters and I got this height. It's a similar ratio to Prime & Primal's height difference so I'm running with it)

Gen 1 V2 - ~ 18 Feet 6 inches (Galv. So the Wiki failed me on this one, but- and maybe this is backwards thinking, the WFCT Galvatron is this height, at least comparing him to WFCT Megatron, who I've decided is the same height as Gen 1 Megatron, who we actually have a number for- I am aware it's convoluted but it's all I got)

Netflix Cybertron Trilogy - ~18 Feet 6 inches (Galv. Okay so, Galvatron and Megatron are entirely separate beings in this universe, which is a large departure from Gen 1 where they're effectively the same guy, which means I could compare their heights, and this is about the height Galvatron is. And I have decided that the WFCT Megatron is the same height as Gen 1 Megatron because they're nearly identical otherwise, making the assumption that the Galvatrons are the same easy. The amount of hoops I have to jump through sometimes...)

Gen 1 V1 - ~19 Feet (Mega. TFWiki. Hey look, it's the guy that's the foundation of like 5 other character's calculations)

Prime Wars - ~19 Feet (Mega. As I've said before, I have decided that this design is the same height as the Gen 1 design, because they're identical, yes one is 2d, and the other is 3d but I don't care)

Netflix Cybertron Trilogy - ~19 Feet (Mega. You already know what I'm going to say; it's identical to Gen 1. Just try and stop me)

Unicron Trilogy V2&3/ENG&CYB - ~19 Feet (Mega/Galv. He flip-flops so much in this universe, I think Megatron becomes Galvatron 3 separate times. For the uneducated, the Unicron Trilogy has given each of its 3 seasons separate names and 3 separate art styles. These are the designs used in Energon (S2) and Cybertron (S3). The Wiki had Cybertron's numbers but not Energon's, so for my own sanity, I decided the two were the same height. I could have done something in between Cybertron's and Armada's (S1) numbers, but there was a lot of float between the two)

One V2 - 19 Feet 10 Inches (Mega. As I have stated in the previous One entry: I don't trust Walmart, Meg and OP are the same height by the end of the movie, and the KCV LA and One are kinda one universe. Optimus is this height by the end of the movie, therefore so is Megatron. How many times do I have to explain this)

Cyberverse - 21 Feet (Oh sweet, sweet "I don't have to justify or explain my numbers, I have a source". This comes from a screen-shot of this video which has the Cyberverse height chart everyone uses, though the quality of the screen shot is iffy. If anyone has a better one, I would love to see it)

RID 2001 - ~22 Feet (Mega/Galv. TFWiki. Why are there so many Megatrons who become Galvtron at random and look functionally identical to each other why does this keep happening. Also this guy transforms into a hand)

Unicron Trilogy V1 - ~23 Feet (Mega/Galv. TFWiki. I am very tired, we have another functionally identical Megatron Galvatron conversion and I am in pain)

Bayverse V2 - 30 Feet (Mega/Galv. TFWiki, Movies 4 & 5. This time, they're actually identical, and Mr. Bay has once again blessed me with numbers from all of his movies)

Aligned Cont. WF/FOC - ~30 Feet (Mega. TFWiki. Look man, I don't know how he grows nearly five feet between the games and the shows, it's just what the video game info screen said)

Animated - ~31 Feet (Mega. Animated has no actual numbers, but the lovely @phoenix-inanis has provided a frankly astounding resource with their own calculations for the heights of all the TFA characters. Go look at it, it's wonderful -> https://phoenix-inanis.notion.site/TFA-Height-Chart-f6ad2960ca8c4c5b859ee4958723aaa4?pvs=4)

Aligned Cont. TFP V1 - 34 Feet 5 Inches (Mega. Yes, this is from Fandom. But, and I will continue to say this until my lungs give out, this entire universe is just fucking enormous. Look, I believe Bayverse is the most consistent tf universe when it comes to the transformers' models and designs, and if we do some comparisons between characters with similar listed heights (I did it at the end of this post), it's way too close for me not to believe it)

Bayverse V1 - 35 Feet (Mega. TFWiki, Movies 1-3. Look at this bitch, getting his secrets exposed by Mr. Bay. Look at him, he's going to shrink down in the forth movie, gonna get dumped down to 6th place on the podium. Get Shrunk, Idiot)

Aligned Cont. TFP PR V2 - 42 Feet 7 Inches (Mega. Look at this enormous bitch, look at the freak standing there, fuckin enormous n' shit. Wack ass Unicron- Did you know that this is probably the TALLEST base form transformer ever? Excluding any super modes or upgrades or a transforming Cybertronian Base/Spaceship, just default general body size, I'm pretty sure this Megatron is the tallest Regular transformer ever)

Not Pictured: RID 2001 Galvatron Pallet - ~22 Feet (the only thing that was different between the two designs was the colours, if felt redundant to include it), Unicron Trilogy Galvatron Pallet(s) - Armada: ~23 Feet, Energon/Cybertron: ~19 Feet (Again, just the colours changed, otherwise everything else was the same)

I have done it. I have conquered my Everest. I have finished the big two charts. If anyone has any suggestions for which transformer I should aggressively analyze next please tell me I don't know which ones to do next

Here are the different layers separated out into their own pictures, I know it's kinda hard to tell everyone apart when they're all on top of each other.

Ceasefire | 1.2 | Bradley Bradshaw x Reader (18+)

Previous Chapter | Next Chapter | Masterlist

Synopsis: Bradley Bradshaw is in San Diego, summoned to Top Gun for the first time. Commander “Hyde” Simpson is his flight instructor, and she doesn’t have time for schoolboy crushes.

Warnings: ex-husband!beausimpson, divorce, age gap (rooster is somewhere between 26-28, reader is 38), power imbalance between instructor and student aviator, swearing, slight angst at the end, smut, handjobs, teasing, riding and creampies that are never addressed again, sub!rooster, bondage, probably very inaccurate flight info

…

Eleven weeks have never felt quite so long. At the same time, the memory of seeing Bradley Bradshaw staring at you with that dopey smile still feels so fresh. In one week, classes will officially be over. Rooster will no longer be your student. It’s almost pathetic, the way you’re already miserable at the thought of not seeing his face when you walk in every morning.

Still, in this moment, he’s still here and frowning down at his flight manual. It’s a storming afternoon and the air stuff got canceled, but with Beau’s mood swings lately, class remains to be in session. You’re perched on the edge of your desk, waiting patiently for whichever one of your star pupils can answer your question first.

“Minimum total hydroplaning speed of the main landing gear tires inflated to 250 pounds per square inch is 140 knots groundspeed and, for nose gear tires inflated to 150 per square inch, is 110 knots. Ma’am.” Flipping his toothpick in his mouth and offering you a dimpled grin that proves he knows he’s correct before you tell him, Jake Seresin is a fraction faster than Natasha Trace, who sits directly behind him. It’s not the hardest question. They all should know it. It’s just the rain outside that even made you think of it.

Offering Jake a small smile and a curt nod, you open your mouth to confirm that he is once again correct. To his left, you can’t help but glance across at your favourite thing to look at in this bleak little teaching room. Only, he isn’t smiling at you.

He’s staring down at his NATOPs, brows drawn together in something between frustration and confusion. Maybe embarrassment. You can’t pretend that it isn’t your initial impulse to discredit Jake to save Bradley’s feelings — but you don’t. That’s not your job, and it’s not what you’ve worked so hard to do.

“Good work, Hangman.” You tell him calmly. Bradley doesn’t dare look up from the page. Not once. Rain pours on outside and he spends the entire afternoon glaring at the manual like he wants to rip it to shreds.

As you dismiss the class, the thought looms of this all being over soon. With just one more week to go, there are lots of decisions hanging heavy. Maybe that’s what is getting to him.

“Rooster, hang back. I need to speak to you.”

Instantly, you can tell that this was not the right move. He turns towards you, his face sullen and his eyes dark. Your brows draw together, closing the door behind the last of your students and shutting him in there with you. Alone, he remains just as closed off.

“Are you okay? — You seem kind of—“ One step forwards, you reach out for him with a gentle touch, in a way that could still be mistaken for professionalism if someone were to walk in on the two of you. But, the second your hand grazes his bicep, he shrugs it off.

“I’m fine,” He mutters, gaze turned towards the floor. His usual sunny disposition seems to have gone away with the weather. Your eyes draw into a stern squint. “Am I dismissed?”

“Dis— Okay. No, Bradshaw,” You pretend that one didn’t sting, squaring your shoulders and inhaling slowly, stepping closer so that he has no choice but to see you finally standing in front of him. “No, you’re not dismissed. If you want to start acting like this is about rank, then that’s fine by me. I want you to talk to me either way.”

A muscle in his jaw ticks. His eyes dart towards the door, and then back to you. Finally, you watch him soften. His fingertips graze the inside of your palm, choosing to look down at that exchange rather than at you.

“Could you come over tonight?”

“On official Navy business?” You tease, poking softly at his ribs through the fabric of his flight suit. All you’re offered in return is a weak smile.

He links his fingers gently through yours. Slightly more incriminating, if you were to be walked in on. Still, it tugs at your heart strings as he sighs in resignation. “Please, Hyde?”

“Of course,” You tell him, giving his palm a quick squeeze. “I’ll be over just after seven.”

He has to wait for you to finish up your work before you’re able to leave. By the time you find him, he has already worked out and showered, and he has been sitting in his room wallowing for about forty minutes.

“Talk to me,” Even with his mood, there’s nothing he can do but drape his arms around your waist and tuck his head into the soft curve of your neck as you straddle his hips. “That’s what couples do.”

There’s a moment of silence, but not the same as earlier. His hands find the small of your back, tugging you closer as he sighs against your shoulder. You know that this time he’s just finding his words. It’s almost enough, having you here in his bedroom, draped around him, ready to listen.

In the meantime, you inhale the fresh scent of his cologne and turn your face towards his temple, pressing your lips to his damp curls.

“I’m just in my head about graduation,” He settles finally, curling his fingers around your hips, pulling back to look at you. “I knew I wasn’t going to graduate at the top of the class, but — I’m starting to wonder if I even deserve to be up there with all of them. You know?”

Your fingers are soft as they card through his hair, your expression much softer than it should be as his instructor. His fingers can’t sit still, pulling you closer, fiddling with the hem of your shirt.

“Of course you do,” The answer comes instantly, without hesitation. It’s followed by a chaste kiss. He turns his head and sighs again, readying to protest. “You knew the answer today. Doesn’t matter if you can find it in the book before Hangman or not, you knew it.”

“How’re you so sure that I did?” He challenges, frowning back at you. As much as he wants to believe you’re telling him this because you really believe in him, there’s still a voice in the back of his head telling him that you’re just trying to pacify him by giving him what he wants to hear.

You squint back at him, smoothing your fingers through his freshly washed curls.

“Because I know you better than I know anyone in that class, I’ve flown with you,” You tell him softly. He hums as you kiss his cheek. “I know your instincts up there are better than anyone else. Even if the answer isn’t in your head right away, I know that when you’re up there, you would know what to do.”

With that, he sighs and leans his head back. His fingers flex nervously around your hips. With his eyes closed, you used the moment to catch him by surprise. He sucks in a sharp breath as your palm dips between the two of you and grinds against his cock through his shorts.

“I trust you. Up there, and down here.”

His mouth twitches slightly, his eyes softening as he tries to pull back from you. “Hyde… come on, I don’t need you to baby me.”

You smile back at him, giving a curt nod of your head as you brush your palm more firmly against him. The way his throat contracts when he’s trying not to give in to you prickles along your skin, a rush of excitement.

He closes his eyes as you lean in and suck softly at the freckle on the left side of his neck. Your lips trail tantalizingly slowly along his throat until finally he shivers at the feeling of your breath against his earlobe, “Okay. You want me to make you prove it?”

“Make me?” He breathes out, fingers balling into the fabric of your T-shirt, brows knitting together. Already, his cock is standing to attention through the fabric of his shorts.

“That’s right,” It’s a gentle coo, so soft and sweet that Bradley really isn’t expecting it at all when you tug hard at his hair with your other hand. He inhales sharply, catching your hips and pulling you against him. His cheeks flush red, his eyes blown wide and desperate. You’ve never seen a man beg without even opening his mouth before. “Close your eyes for me.”

Another thick swallow, his throat squeezing around nothing as he closes his eyes, his dark lashes brushing against his cheek.

He’s so pliant, giving himself up to your more than capable touch. Lulling him into calmness that he’s powerless to fight against as your mouth kisses at his chest, pushing at the hem of his t-shirt and helping him out of it.

“Contrary to what you might have heard from Hangman, or from Pete Mitchell,” Bradley bites at the inside of his cheek as you lick at his freshly exposed chest, nipping at his pectoral. Even with his eyes closed, he’s red and embarrassed by how hard his nipples are in the chilled room. “Being a good aviator isn’t about confidence.”

If you’re going to keep talking as you head further south, he’s going to struggle to keep listening. His hands follow you as you slip out of his lap and settle between his knees, your tongue trailing along his middle.

“Instinct is everything.”

Bradley balls his hands into his bedsheets, lips parting just slightly as you suck firm kisses into his taut abdomen.

“Lay down.” You order, and without question, he obeys by scooting back and laying down flat with his legs still over the edge and bracketing you.

“Lay back for me.” You say sweetly, he obeys. To your right, you find the brown leather belt that you’ve been eyeing. Still looped through his jeans, discarded onto the chair in the corner of the room. Rooster fidgets in front of you, waiting to feel your touch again. “You trust me, right, Rooster?”

“Of course.” He exhales, his answer instant.

You push yourself up and he peeks an eye open, watching you free the belt and turn back towards him. Your smile grows as you find him even more red-faced than before, staring right at you.

“Lift your hands and hold your wrists together for me.”

“Really?” He whispers, his voice thick. You nod sweetly, nodding for him to shift further up the bed. He complies wordlessly, pushing himself to the top of the bed and presenting his wrists for you. His eyes darken and his brows raise, watching you climb up the bed with his belt in your hands.

“Don’t pull too hard, you’ll be sore.” You warn him, looping the belt around his wrists and through the wooden slats in his headboard. He gasps softly as you pull the leather tight and guide it through the buckle.

“Fucking hell…” He breathes out, his voice an excited whisper.

After the soft leather is secured, his wrists fastened to his headboard, you take a minute to sit back and observe. He’s watching you with such abject trust, desperation and excitement all at once. His stomach is quivering with each breath, stretched tight by the way his arms are raised.

Your tongue dips out to wet your bottom lip as your fingers reach for him, walking along the length of his thigh. Leaning over him again, you dip forwards and press a soft kiss to his lips.

“What do you want?”

“I want you to be naked.” Rooster rushes out, shifting uncomfortably and glancing towards his tied hands. When his eyes flicker back to you, he breaks into a bashful smile. Your lips twitch, looking back at him.

“Okay,” You agree sweetly, reaching for the bottom of your t-shirt. He watches the way your eyes darken, filling with mischief as you pull it up just enough to expose the soft skin of your stomach, then hold it there. “You’re at a cruise altitude of 35,000 feet, how do you know how to calculate your descent?”

Three miles per distance per thousand feet in altitude. Your mouth twitches watching him do the math in his head while staring at the sliver of exposed skin under your shirt.

“35,000 minus the last three zeroes — uh, thirty-five. Thirty-five multiplied by three… a hundred and five.” You narrow your eyes quizzically as he stumbles through the math, knowing that it comes more easily to him than he’s able to tell you. You’ve not seen him personally land on a carrier, but you know he can. You know that he’s done it a hundred times over. “You’d start the descent 105 nautical miles from the destination, maintaining a speed of 300 Knots-Indicated air speed… and a descent rate of 1,500 to 2,000 feet per minute, with thrust set at idle.”

You smile back at him, peeling your shirt up and over your head. He exhales, eyes falling down to the black bra covering your tits. Forgetting himself for a moment, he moves to sit, the buckle of his belt knocking into the woods and reminding him of his predicament.

“Feet per minute,” You continue, reaching for your own belt, slipping the leather from the buckle and pausing. “If you land on the carrier right, how does the hornet hit the deck?”

“800 feet per minute.” He exhales. Your mouth twists into a grin as you pop open your belt buckle.

By the time that he has rid you of your clothes, his answers are especially fast and you’ve noticed that his wrists are growing red under the hold of the leather.

Standing on your knees, you crawl your way up your, now completely naked, boyfriend and turn. Straddling his abdomen, your naked core sits just out of his reach. His mouth falls open and a dismayed, needy sound slips out.

Having freed him of his own shorts and boxers just moment before, his cock is red and swollen, angry from the lack of attention. Settling yourself with a sly wiggle of your hips, you take his cock in both of your hands and cover as much as you can with your mouth.

Soaking his length with a generous amount of saliva, you hear his head fall back and hit the headboard as your hands start to stroke him. Long strides coat his shaft in spit, your hands twisting loosely left from right. From this way, the way you’re straddling him, you’ve got a front-row view to the way his thighs have started to tremble.

Furthering his dismay, he has a front-row seat to your soaked pussy, inches from his face, but just out of reach. Your hands are steady, just as calm and skilled as they are when you’re in the cockpit. Not too fast, just guiding him steadily closer to his orgasm. Letting your spit soak him, adding more to the mix, squeezing him firmly every now and again. Craning your neck so that you can lick and suck softly at his balls. His moans are strangled, agonizingly desperate from behind you.

When you finally decide to grace him with a firmer, faster touch, his moans are so jagged and eager that you know Hangman and Coyote must be able to hear him. The heels of his feet press into the mattress, his hips bucking eagerly into your hands.

He tugs hard at his restraints and winces behind you. With each delighted sound from your lips as they’re wrapped around him, his own voice is growing more and more strained. For the life of him, he just can’t keep still. He’s putty in your hands. This wouldn’t be the first time he has made a mess all over your hands, but today, that isn’t the plan.

“Hyde, don’t — please don’t — I’m so fucking close…”

You hum, hands already withdrawn. He writhes under you as you turn to face him.

“You can hold on a little longer for me, right baby?”

His voice is getting more strained as you squeeze your hands around his twitching cock and just as he is about to erupt you retract your hands leaving his chest huffing in frustration and near euphoria.

You shift, straddling his hips. His eyes go wide and round, lips parted as you situate yourself right over him and sink down just barely. Your soaked core just grazes him as you rock back and forth softly. His eyes follow the curve of your waist, the slight movement of your tits as you taunt him.

“Can wait a little longer for me, right?”

“Oh, fuck.” Rooster whimpers.

You lower yourself gently onto him, palms braced against his shivering chest as his tip notches into you. He gasps and turns his head towards the pillow, pulling hard at the restraint.

You lean all the way forwards, your naked tits pushing against his chest, your lips mouthing softly at his neck. “It’s okay, I’m gonna take care of you.”

Finally, he’s fully sheathed into you, and he sighs out in relief, dropping his head forwards to rest against the curve of your shoulders.

“I still wanna see you cum,” He pants out, groaning softly as you lift up and sink slowly back down on him, digging his heels into the mattress. “If I can’t do it, I still wanna see it.”

Your mouth twitches at the thought.

“Yeah, you want to watch me get off?” You grin, kissing across his cheek and finally at his mouth. He whines softly, watching you rocking your hips into his gently, grinding yourself into him.

“You have to stop talking or I’m gonna cum.” He mutters with a stiff shake of his head, his eyes flickering up to you as you giggle above him. You purse your lips and lean forwards, pressing a sweet kiss to the tip of his nose and then sit back.

He watches, every muscle in his chest and arms constricting as he watches you sit back on his thighs, all full of him, lifting your fingers and miming a zip across your lips, and then a lock at the corner of your mouth. Finally, even though all of his focus is on trying not to bust, his lips stretch into an amused grin.

You settle back into the rhythm of bouncing on him, bracing one hand back against his thigh as the other dips between your own legs.

The angle is just right, your orgasm ebbs closer but remains just out of reach as he watches helplessly, dazed by the glow of you.

From the first day he saw you, he’d never imagined he would be as lucky as to be at your mercy like this. The thought dawns him and his hips twitch, snapping up to meet yours.

“Christ— wait, slow down, wait— oh, fuck.”

You gasp sharply as he drives himself into you just once more from below before he’s spilling hot and fast into you, groaning and gasping out loud with little regard for who might hear him.

His deep groans are music to your ears as your fingers work feverishly at your clit to keep up. His mouth hangs open, still buried inside of you as he watches you come apart in front of him, your eyes closed and your chest heaving, his name on the tip of your tongue.

Finally, you collapse forwards against his chest, lifting off of him and kissing at his neck.

“Fuck…” He breathes out.

“You feel better?” You whisper, catching your breath as your nails rake along his stomach. He hums in response, kissing softly at your temple.

He sighs in relief as you pull the belt apart and free his wrists, stretching out his arms and rubbing at the reddened skin.

“I can’t stay, Taylor’s getting dropped off home at nine.” You kiss his mouth softly, already starting to push off of his chest. He just groans and rolls onto his front, disgruntled by the idea of not having you in his bed tonight. “I’ll see you tomorrow at six?”

“Right. What should I wear?”

“A little more than you’re wearing now, preferably.”

He chuckles tiredly and considers grabbing his boxers, opting to instead just press his face into his pillow as he listens to you getting dressed again.

“Should I bring them like… a gift or something?”

“It’s a little early for bribery.”

He sighs and sits up swiftly, resting his elbows on his knees, his mouth creasing into a worried frown. “What are we going to do if they don’t like me?”

Really, there’s only one answer; you’d never put him before your kids and he knows that.

Pulling your shirt down over your body, there’s only one thing to do. You lean forwards and kiss his lips tenderly. “They’ll love you.”

Once you convince him to get dressed again, Bradley walks you down to your car. Jake and Coyote say their greetings and goodbyes swiftly and politely, not making you stop for small talk.

Then, as Rooster heads back upstairs with a reddened face and even more reddened wrists, they meet him in the living room, beaming.

”Don’t start.” He groans, trying to dismiss them and head back to his room before the ridicule starts. It’s a little late for that. It’s been a little late for that since they heard Rooster practically crying your name twenty minutes earlier.

As you return home to reunite with your children, you’re greeted with an onslaught of texts about how — to quote — ‘those idiots heard everything’. It should bother you, but the thought of Bradley all red-faced and squirming at their comments just makes you chuckle.

Meeting at a neutral place always seemed like the best option, until you’re sitting in the parking lot, staring at your kids in the backseat — feeling like you’re introducing cats. Well, it has been quite some time since your children got over their interest in scratching and biting, so hopefully this will go smoother than that.

”How are you guys feeling?” You ask them, turning in your seat finally. Dylan can see the worry on your face. Your brows are raised, your eyes are round and fleeting between them each, lips pursed.

”Yeah, fine, mom.” He offers you a polite, sincere smile. It’s the best that he has to give. He knows this means something big to you. He knows that you’ve started singing in the kitchen again, and reading Taylor the stories with the voices, laughing with him until you’re doubled over and crying.

”Do you think he likes cats better or dogs?” Taylor perks up, tucking her feet up onto the seat and quirking her head at you. Your lips twitch as your son rolls his eyes at her.

“You can ask him.” You decide, and she seems to accept this as good enough of an answer. She settles back in her booster seat, crosses her arms across her little knit sweater and smiles back at you. Poor Rooster doesn’t have a clue what he’s in for with this little chatterbox — but you know he’ll be glad to not have to sit in silence.

A beat passes as you look between their faces. They both smile back at you, for different reasons entirely.

“Okay, are we ready to go inside?”

After quick agreement, Taylor watches her shoes cast purple neon shadows across the puddles, flashing bright with each step as your heels clack across the ground ahead of her. A hand lands on her shoulder, guiding her along and making sure that she keeps up.

Swiftly, she looks up at her big brother, frowning curiously at him, ”So, do we have to call him Dad too?”

”Rooster.” You breathe out, lips stretching into a smile as you spot him walking over from his truck. He looks right past you as you wrap your arms around his neck. About five paces back, your kids are trailing you, deep in conversation. About him, no doubt.

Suddenly, his attention snaps back to you, his eyes going wide as you kiss his cheek. He untangles himself from you, aggressively platonic for a man who was begging to hold you yesterday.

“Hi.”

”Don’t be weird, they’re children, not the FBI.” You whisper to him, turning quickly as you hear the two of them approaching this. “Guys, this is Bradley. Bradley, this is my daughter, Taylor, and my son, Dylan.”

”Hello.” Bradley stiffens.

“Hey.” Dylan tries.

“You’re pretty tall. Women like that.” It would seem that you’re all caught off guard by your daughter’s comment. Luckily, it’s just enough of a surprise to make Bradley’s tight-lipped smile break into a wide-stretching grin.

He sits opposite her at the table, Dylan by his side and you opposite Dylan. She spent the afternoon with your mother and it would seem, the two of them spent their time preparing questions.

”So—“ Dylan manages to interrupt, earning himself a stern glare from the little girl who was just about to get into the favourite colours segment of her interview. Bradley turns his head and looks at your son. “What team do you follow?”

Bradley shoots a glance over at you, knowing full well that your son has been raised to be a die hard 49ers fan. He looks back to the thirteen year old and inhales— he can’t pretend to like that team, he just can’t do it—

“The Eagles.” He rushes out.

“Huh.” Dylan quirks an eyebrow, turns his head and shoots you a look. He smirks softly, bringing the rim of his Pepsi glass to his mouth. “And… how’s that working out for ya, big guy?”

Bradley’s mouth falls slack, and he looks quickly across the table for support, finding nothing but you smirking back at him and Taylor giggling in response.

“Hey, buddy, I’ll have you know—“ And once again, that seems to do the trick. That’s the straw, right before the appetizers come out, that gets Bradley really talking, and after that it just doesn’t stop.

Taylor quickly gets him onto the conversation of cats versus dogs — he seems to pass her test. Bradley turns the conversation on you, and winds up grinning ear to ear with the insight of how your children perceive you to be, how they love you. You turn the conversation on Bradley, and reveal to the children that he not only enjoys rum and raisin flavoured ice-cream, but that it’s his favourite.

The betrayal on his face after that one will keep you laughing for weeks to come. It’s almost enough for the children to change their minds about him, but he quickly gets things back on track by revealing that he once met the guy who plays Captain America on a flight.

That wins him some serious brownie points.

You know that, just as easily as he had with you, he had won them over.

He grins at you as he settles the bill — despite your insistence to split it, his nerves seeming to have finally calmed.

“Mom, why do you call him Bradley when his work name is Rooster?” Taylor asks, slipping her hand into you palm as you head for the exit.

“Because we aren’t at work right now.” You answer with a shrug, checking over your shoulder to see Rooster talking with Dylan about something behind you.

“Can I call him Rooster?” She asks, peering up at you.

“If he says you can.”

“Bradley?” She cranes her neck as she calls back to him, capturing his attention instantly. “Can I call you Rooster?”

“Sure. Either works.” He shrugs, tucking his wallet back into the pocket of his jeans, walking to catch up with the two of you.

She looks quickly back up to you, approval plastered across her little face. She gives your hand a quick squeeze and smiles.

KJ RUN DOWN

for my lovely friend @cupidbedsy (and anyone else who wants to know more about kj)!

- born october 18, 2002 (22)

- grew up in port moody, british columbia

- he is half finnish! his mom was born in finland, but moved to canada at a really young age. his middle name is kalevi, which translates to “ancestor of the finns.”

- grew up a canucks fan, but cites johnny gaudreau as his inspiration → "i was obviously a canucks fan, but there was one playoff series where i was just loving it because johnny was dominating, and they beat the canucks. i was like, 'man, this guy’s unreal.’.”

- “gaudreau was small in comparison to most nhl players. generously, he was listed at 5 feet 9, 165 pounds. johnson, who is 6-0, 180, grew up as the smallest player on the ice before he turned 14 and shot up “about three inches a year” over four years.”

- “before those growth spurts, johnson firmly believed he'd be gaudreau’s size. it created a chip on his shoulder and fueled his drive.”

- "johnny was obviously a great player, but kent had a real connection to john because he was really small," jay johnson said. "he was, by far, the smallest kid on his teams. he was good when he was little, so he made the bantam aaa team when he was only 90 pounds, when the average kid might’ve been 120 or 130, and some way bigger. so, he had that connection to johnny. he just loved how he played hockey, and he told me at some point, ‘if johnny gaudreau can do it, i can do it, too.’ "

- “you know how it is with small guys,” kent johnson said. “it”s like, ‘can they do it in the playoffs?’ obviously, i hated hearing that, and i loved seeing johnny prove those guys wrong. so, i would study his game a lot. there’s some little things i do now that i feel like i got first from watching him.”

- he played junior hockey for the trail smoke eaters of the bchl. in the 2018-2019 season, he scored 20 goals and had a total of 26 points in 57 games. in the 2019-2020 season, he won the brett hull trophy as the league’s leading scorer with 41 goals and 60 assists in 52 games!

- he was named bchl first-team all-star, bchl most sportsmanlike player, bchl mvp, and canadian junior hockey league forward of the year!

- played college hockey at the university of michigan for the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 seasons

- drafted 5th overall by the columbus blue jackets in 2021

- scored the golden goal for canada in the wjc gold medal game to beat finland

- signed an entry-level contract with the blue jackets on april 8, 2022

- as of december 9, 2024, he has 14 points (8 goals, 6 assists) in 13 games played during the 2024-2025 season

Greek golden gods find a Bro slut:

Eric and Rob have been living like Greek gods for the past year.

Every Sunday after the gym they go for a run and pass the same bench every week. Today they decided to sit down and have a healthy snack from the tree. Eric kept smelling and hearing something. "Rob, do u hear that fapping sound and do smell that ? Rob was too busy chewing his golden grapes and staring at his bulging calves and golden sneakers to notice at first.. No bro, I feel like someone is watching us 👀 I said. He looked at me and started rubbing my bulging crotch while both eating our golden grapes! He whispered to me and said maybe someone is getting turned on by the golden testosterone on our sweaty jerseys. I suddenly got hard as a rock and a golden glow was around my cock. Distracted , I still smelled a man in heat so I Turned around and there he was, hand down his pants chanting "need the gold , need the gold" choking his half hard cock.

Good thing we are both show offs and alpha gods and decided to give him sniff of our golden bodies. Suddenly his eyes were pinned and he was totally under our control. We could at that moment do whatever we wanted with him. He begged us to make him our Golden slut bro and he would do anything we and the team wanted. Rob pulled out his golden bag and held up a golden Jersey that said " bro slut" the man wrapped it around his already muscular body. All of a sudden time stopped, his 26 inch biceps grew double in size and his chest swelled up like to balloons ! His shoulders widened and his cock got bigger...he smiles at us and turns around with his bro hole already spread open ....he started eating some golden grapes dripping down his chin as Rob and I tag teamed him , breaking his now golden leaking mancunt dubbing him as the new Golden slut.

After we shot our 5 day Golden loads inside both his holes he looked like his brain died as his insides were flooded. Gold fog surrounded him.

He told us we were gods and he would worship us and our bothers for the rest of his life.

Another braindead bro programmed to please his new Greek Golden army gods!

💛💛💛

Who's next?

Phantom of the Paradise book character facts in order. I read it so you don’t have to…

CHAPTER 1 —

(Spoiler warnings).

1. Winslow’s teacher (Carmine Abrano) was a drunk. He was decapitated by a train while drunk. (The month was February according to chapter 6)

2. Winslow feels emotionally responsible for his death (because they had a difference of opinion in musical taste).

3. Winslow’s full cantata is 4 hours.

4. Winslow can learn a style of music in just 6 weeks.

5. Winslow doesn’t like bebop.

6. Winslow had bad grades and didn’t care for romance while at school.

7. Winslow doesn’t like nature and is quite possibly allergic to everything that’s not music.

8. Swan has a full name (Alan D. Swan).

9. At best Winslow ‘almost likes’ *some* of the music Swan produces.

CHAPTER 2 -

PODP book character facts in order.

(Spoiler warning.)

17. Winslow stays at the Allyn, a hotel popular with musicians when he first arrives in New York.

18. Winslow is described as having a Maine accent (so I might have been wrong about the Vermont thing?)

——————————————————————

CHAPTER 3 -

PODP book character facts in order.

(Spoiler warning.)

19. Philbin’s first name is Arnold

20. One of the Juicy Fruit’s is named Frejus.

21. Swan favours the Juicy Fruits because they are ‘good on tour’ and ‘tough’. He admits they can’t write decent songs themselves but they can handle the pace of intense show business.

22. Winslow has blue eyes (in the book)

23. Winslow is from Maine. His ancestors were farmers.

24. Swan spends most of his time in LA, but the story takes place in New York.

25. Phoenix’s real name is Ellan Rado. ‘Phoenix’ is her stage name.

26. In the film, Winslows first played song is titled ‘Faust’. In the book it is titled ‘Foster’s Lament’. This is to match Winslow’s personal reimagining of Faust, which his cantata is based on.

27. Winslow lies to Pheonix, telling her he is 20.

28. Winslow’s opera contains themes of “incest, along with rape, madness and other intense human behaviour.”

——————————————————————

CHAPTER 4 -

PODP book character facts in order.

(Spoiler warning.)

29. Winslow’s opera would take up 3 LPs in its entirety (NOTE: A 12-inch LP (long-playing) vinyl record typically holds around 22 minutes of audio per side at standard playback speed (33 1/3 revolutions per minute). So, a full LP can hold approximately 44 minutes of audio in total.)

30. Every doubt or mistreatment erupts within Winslow mentally when he looses his temper.

31. Winslow was bullied by a boy named Alec Smith as a kid. He poured syrup in his electric piano.

32. Winslow has a perfect ‘idetic memory’. Aka photographic memory.

33. Pheonix stole $150 from Winslow’s pocket (most likely for drugs).

——————————————————————

CHAPTER 5 -

PODP book character facts in order.

(Spoiler warning.)

34. At this point in the story Winslow is wearing thermal underwear. Heavy navy blue suit pants, black sneakers, a large black cape (he bought for himself) and a leather cap.

36. Swan’s estate houses multiple recording studios, offices, guard’s quarters, gardens, pools and is impossibly gothic with its many towers.

37. Winslow’s opera is named ‘Foster’ (instead of ‘Faust’).

38.

——————————————————————

CHAPTER 6 -

PODP book character facts in order.

(Spoiler warning.)

34. ‘Several songs’ of Winslow’s opera are produced Swan’s way.

35. Swan recognises Winslow’s music as good but flawed and with no market.

36. One of the songs reached number 3 on the charts.

37. The name of the Prison Winslow is at in the book is ‘Ossining prison’ (which is a real prison with a real history. In the film it is ‘Sing Sing’ which is a nickname for the same prison)

38. It is explicitly stated that Winslow was not raped in prison. ‘Though he had not been raped, there had been a series of violent incidents revealing and developing that violent aspect of Winslow.’

39. Winslow has a mangled memory of events over the last ‘two months’ (the period of time between his arriving in NY and being imprisoned.) ‘He had only a vague sense that he was a young musician from Dunphy, Maine, who had been stiddenly and violently fucked over by a very dangerous man for no particularly good reason.’

40. Winslow worked in the kitchen of the state prison.

41. Winslow put all of his spare time (presumably because he couldn’t play music) into working out, to better defend himself.

42. Winslow made a point to behave well while in Prison (to better his chances at getting out).

43. While in prison Winslow saw a ‘guidance person’ biweekly, for ten minute sessions, who advised he work in retail sails. This ‘guidence person’ also… ‘ simply could not believe any of Winslow's story, and had even convinced Winslow that he had a very dangerous talent for hallucination . . . the runaway tongue of a pathological liar. ‘

44. It wasn’t until Winslow heard his music again on the radio that be believed his own story once more.

45. Winslow escaped after 4 months.

46. Winslow’s cell mate was named Charles Otis. The cel mate in the next cel over (who owned the transistor radio Winslow overheard) was named Tallaferro.

47. Winslow had the bottom bunk in jail.

48. Charles Otis story was… he was a ‘professor who had poisoned his wife and had disposed of the bottle in a corner trash can, where it had been found the next day.’

49. Otis helped Winslow escape on Winslow’s request. Winslow asked for Charles to… ‘put him in one of the outgoing cartons from the license plate department’. Otis went the extra mile to also secure Winslow ‘a hammer and crowbar with which Winslow could smash his way out of the truck; and seventy dollars too.’

50. The truck got Winslow 30 miles out of jail. When he escaped the truck he fled to the woods of upstate New York ‘which were very like the woods of Maine’. (Note. They would be nothing like the woods if Maine. even in th 1970s, you're in the north north suburbs of New York City, so it's not that rural. even in the woods, you're not far from people.)

51. Winslow escaped in August (it was a hot day).

52. Winslow walks 18 miles in the woods and arrives at Croton where he took a bus to New York.

53. At some point in the next week Winslow robs a clothing store on the upper west side, accumulating close to $1000

54. Winslow spent time at 42nd street Library learning to make explosives. He ultimately purchases twenty guaranteed sticks of dynamite for $200 from ‘black revolutionists’ in the East Village ‘who needed capital for their cocaine business’

55. Winslow learns all about breaking and entering and sneaking around unnoticed while in jail.

56. Winslow breaks in to the record factory at 4am

57. In the book there is no crush injury from the record press to Winslow’s face — it is exclusively a burn which is described as being applied by a ‘hot steel plate’ then the burn is splashed with hot vinyl. This blinds Winslow’s left side (the opposite side as in the film).

58. Winslow is shot through his thigh before he leaves the record factory.

59. Winslow can apparently vault an 8 foot wall with 1 functional eye.

——————————————————————

CHAPTER 7 -

(Spoiler warning.)

34. Swan had a fatalist belief system.

35. The Paradise is set to take place x2 weeks after Winslow’s death.

36. Winslow accumulates a cult following in underground circles for his work ‘post mortum’

(If people show interest in this I will continue it through to the end of the book)

Patience is the key to success (2)

Masterlist if you want to read my others things. Part 1 here.

CW/TW: yandere-manipulative-obsessive-stalker-ethan, fem reader, smut, no p in v, depressed reader(but really), suicidal thoughts

i'm trying to post this quick because I crave attention, whatever its insults, compliments, likes or repost, idc. I want ppl to know i'm existing. i have a big oral test tomorrow and im really bad at speaking before someone (hence why im writing instead) so i just need to know im not totally useless in the society and that im, at the very least, making people enjoy my things. sorry for the rant, i have a big headhache, probably gonna die ✌️😚

the smut is really bad btw but like really but im bad at writing them but i need to to improve (26/06/2023) (5226 words)

"Let's just finish watching the movie now." you say and Ethan doesn't make you repeat as he goes straight to the couch.

You felt much better after that little talk. Ethan did not say much but in his words, there was a lot more. He was planning to be with you a long time. He does not want to ruin things. It made you so happy. Every fiber in you was warm thinking of it. You were at peace.

Ethan was calm after that, albeit moving uncomfortably sometimes. (maybe because of his boner?) He was just as cuddly as when you arrived. His head laid flat on your chest, rising up and down with each one of your breath. Your fingers brush his curl slowly as you hear his breathing slacken. You were giddy thinking about him being at peace with you, too.

His arms were closed tightly around your body, never letting you go. The movie was really advanced by now, the end was coming soon. It probably was something towards 11AM. Usually, you would have gone knock at your friend's house but there was no need now as you already saw her earlier.

When the movie fatefully ended, the credits start to roll but none of you moved an inch. Ethan rubs his cheeks against your chest before sighing happily. His eyes were closed. Was he asleep ? No, certainly not. He loves horror movie. He wouldn't fall asleep when one is ongoing.

He was cute here. You were delighted to think he trusted you enough to let his guards down and sleep with you. You were his safeplace. And he was yours. Your fingers trail down on his back where you draw small patterns dreamily. You write things, that cross your mind. You simply scratch him. His sudden speaking startle you. Your hand stopping evey movements.

"Are you sleeping far from here, today ? Every movements of his jaw hitting slightly on your chest. 'today' because he knew about your frequent change of home.

Relaxing, you continue to caress his back lovingly.

-No, not really. But I don't sleep there anymore.

The hotel too was starting to worry you. Like the building was shrieking on you. You don't know what was scarier, to be alone or to never be. And now that you found such a warm place, you don't want to leave. Ever.

-Why ?

-Scare me, s'all.

-You can sleep here tonight, if you want.

-Why ? Your decision was already made; you'd sleep here. You knew it the second he offered you to stay the night. But you wanted to see his arguments to convince you.

"Let me be with you." his sentence made a shiver run down your back.

Did that stalker fucked you up so hard you had chill even thinking about them? It was just a damn sentence. Everyone can say it. For god's sake, it's Ethan saying it of all people. Even if he awoke this uneasy feeling back, you couldn't blame him. He didn't know about the sign the criminal had shown you. You didn't tell him that much detail, only saying they had indeed brought creepy signs but omitting what was written on it. And Ethan said it so prettily, too. Yes, of course you'd be with him.

He told you you never slept here before and that you'd be safe anyway since he's here and don't plan on leaving you. So you accepted. It was really early in the day but the both of you were getting sleepy because of the calm and comfort of the situation. He offered you to go to his room which you accepted. After guiding you to there, he tells you he has to go grab something and that he'd be back really quick.

And he did, in fact, came back really quick.

By then, you were already sprawled out on his bed. You had time to see the mess he had scattered everywhere. The carboard, the books, the drawings, some letters, too. And you even found out about his second phone. The lockscreen was a generic one, the one you have by default, as if he just got it recently. But the phone wasn't new, it seems in contrary really old as it was broken at some area.

Ethan arrives in the room with a small plastic blue square packaging, you don't have time to see what it was that he throws it under the bed. You don't pay it too much attention. Playing mindlessly with his other phone in hand, you take off and put back the phone case of it to entertain yourself.

"You got two phones ? you ask even though you kind of knew the answer already.

-Oh, yes. One is for games only, the other is the one I'm really using. Did you went on it ?

-No, don't worry, I won't frisk into your secret criminal life."

He smiles before taking the phone out of your hand. He places it in the drawer of his nightstand. Ethan falls on top of you, taking your breath away for a moment. You laugh and hit his back for him to get away from you and he just laugh heartly before letting himself fall beside you.

He lays down, setting his head on his arm, looking up at you with stars in eyes. Sometimes, he's so pretty it hurt physically to look at him. Starting to get embarrassed by his insistent look, you find something to say.

-Why do you have so much pieces of cardboard anyway ?

-I make placards out of them.

With a fond smile, Ethan stares straight at your eyes. As if waiting for you to say something. You would have ask questions about his 'placards ' if not for the sudden interest he was displaying in you, which, instead, made you change subject without really noticing it. A nervous laugh escaping you.

-Why are you looking at me like that ? Is there an undertone ? Am I supposed to understand something ?"

He shakes his head negatively, displaying a small mischievous smile. He could be such a goblin at times ! Wanting to make him swallow his pride, you lean towards him and kiss his lips. Ethan smiles and moves his lips with yours.

Your arm set down on his waist and soon the kiss get heated. Ethan's body is burning, his breath is too. You don't let each other breath, as soon as you separate from each other, you plunge back in. Physically needing the contact.

You rise on your knee, arching your back to kiss him still laying flat on the bed. Soon, he joins you by rising as well. Both of you on your knees, face to face, eating each other's face. Ethan's hand are mahandling you to sit on his thights. Then, with his surprising strenght, he starts sliding you on them. Your heating pussy rubbing directly on the fabric of his pant. Your hand instinctivly goes to rub the growing tent in his trousers. The area was hot, when you slide your fingers on it, it would budge.

Ethan whimpers, thrusting his hips against yours. You straddle him completly, framing his his body with your legs. You rub his tent against your clit for some frictions. It was aching and growing more desperate by seconds.

"I... I wanna have sex with you." Ethan says softly.

You kiss his cheek, going for his neck. You answer with a meek 'me too' before sucking the skin of his neck. Ethan backs his head, already out of breath. He gives you full access to his body, still rutting desperatly his hips into yours.

But you were growing impatient. You lift your body from him, making him whine at the contact loss, before sliding your fingers behind the elastic of his pants. You slip it down to his knees before you start salivating at the sight of his hard cock already drooling for you.

He didn't have any underwear. That's why you could feel him so close to your core.

Your hand touch his thight, caressing gently his body. Making sure to avoid the area he need you the most. Ethan try to touch himself, tired of your teasing, but you slap his hand away. He whines and looks up at you with teary eyes. Silently begging you to do something. It was impossible for you to resist him.

Your hand grabs his cock in one motion, you could feel it pulse and its warmth propagate in your hand. It was already so so wet because of all his precum, your hand was sliding so easily you could have thought he came multiple times already. Gently, you start to move your hand on all its lenght slowly. The boy props himself on his elbows and look at the scene before him. Ethan sighs happily, eyes closing and head backing. He's in heaven, he thinks. But not entirely, as he looks at you still clothed.

"Want to... Want to finger you..." he pleas.

In front of a boy so desperate, and being incredibly horny, you slide your pant down, making sure your underwear went with it. Ethan lose every one of his braincells when he sees your bare pussy glistening with your love juice. He wanted to lick it bad. That's the only one fanstam he ever had that help him getting off so hard he can't move for a whole minute. He wants to drown himself in your juice. But you have others projects.

You guide his pointer finger to your lips. Ethan starts caressing it and smear your juice everywhere. His lift up another finger and start passing both of them on your lips.

"Here, you have to touch here." you say, pointing to your clit.

You move briefly to bring your genitals closer. You could feel each other's warmth emanating from your core. Seeing him try to touch you was so hot. He was listening to everything you said.

Soon getting the hang of it, he starts circling your clit, applying different pressure on it to see which one were you reacting the most to. Slowly, you quicken your pace on his hard cock. As if to reward him for being such a good boy. He was in a trance, eyes closing and opening. And when they opened, they were staring with a utmost care at your moving breast throught your shirt. Your nipples were hard and were poking through the fabric.

His eyes were glued to it. Understanding his want, you lift your shirt above your collarbone with your free hand. Ethan can't seem to take off his eyes of you. They're probably the first pair of breasts he sees in real life after all.

"Fuck... You're so pretty, love." you speed up on his shaft at his praise. "Fuck, fuck...

-You can touch baby.

-I can?"

He stops all movements to your pussy, your frown but let him discover his needs. It was his first time, you needed to let him have a little fun. His free hand touch one of your breast, massaging it then weighten it in the palm of his hand. He smiles like an idiot, an idiot so cute you let him do what he wants with you. His other, wet, hand pinch lightly your sensitive bud.

Your free hand slap his arm to make him understand he did it too hard. He sends you an apologatic smile.

"They're like stress ball."

Amused by the weird comparison, your chuckle. Still impatient to come, you guide your hand higher on his cock to caress his tip and rub it. His face contorts in pleasure, browns frows and mouth ajar. His forehead fall on your shoulder while his fingers go back down near your entrance. His hips were thrusting into nothing but your hand. Obscene wet noises were resulted. You were hot, terrribly hot but so was he.

Ethan's small puff of breath sends chill in your body. His whimpers couldn't be replaced with anyone else. Your hand was all wet and sticky, as was his. Ethan decides to enter once again two of his digits in you. Your head falls back and you sigh happily at finally scratching that itch in you.

"Curl your fingers, E." you whisper.

He hums and do as told. Curling his fingers in you, he starts to thrust them in and out at a slow pace, adopting the same sensuality you used to jerk him off. You accelerate, your hand no longer lingering on the entire shaft. Sometimes, you'd stop completly to hear him whine. Your thumb caressing his cock's veins.

"Baby please..." he pleas.

Ethan starts kissing sloppily your shoulder, your neck. You, on the other hand, take his hand to guide the thrust of his fingers, angling them correctly for them to touch that spongy spot inside. His fingers were long and thin, that was a part of him you absolutly loved. You always had a thing for pretty hands and his were beautiful.

"What do you want, love? you ask tenderly.

-Tell me you love me..."

You nudge his hair with your nose and he looks up. Staring at his eyes, you see them wet with tears. You kiss him instantly. Playing with his tongue with yours, your hand moving faster and faster. You stop the kiss to tell him you love him and he bites his lips, eyes closing.

His breath is jerky, uneven. You press his palm against your clit, rubbing it while you push his fingers inside you again. You feel a knot tighten. You won't last long.

"Tell me you love me.

-I love you E, you're doing so good.

-Again..."

You said it as many times as he needed to feel better. His hips stuttters, his cock quivers. His words are slurred to each other, resulting in incomprehensible blabbering. You don't lose the rythm, keeping the same pace until he'd eventually come.

-Love you so..." he whines.

His body tense, his breath stops. You can only hear the wet sounds your hand is producing. He doesn't utter a sound until spurts of cum smear on your hand and belly. Feeling at ease, he moans a last time from relief and breath again.

You're not far behind. Ethan being pratically knocked out, you grind on his hand. You close your thighs around it, ensuring it stay inside. Your legs are shaking, wave of hot and cold invade you. You plunge his fingers inside but, to your surprise, Ethan regains control and start pounding into you to get you to your end.

He kisses your neck while you finally come on his fingers, sweaty and disvesheled. You swear one last time when he withdraws his fingers. You stay here for a while, just hugging , breathing and basking in each other's presence.

After some minutes, you decide to go shower together. You end up finally getting a good night of sleep, cuddled in his strong arms.

The next day, Ethan and you had a stupid satisfied smile on your face. Both happy to be here. You kissed and confessed your love to each other all morning until eventually he had to leave for work. Sadly, you had things to do, too. Ethan offered you to stay and sleep here for a few nights because he wanted to stay close to you.

You liked this idea. Of course you liked it, you love Ethan. And to convince you further, he told you his roomate wouldn't mind. So naturally you accepted. You were embarassed at the idea of bothering his roomate but you decided you would just sleep here, and the day, you'd let the apartment free. It was his too, after all. Not only Ethan's. There is no way you'd let someone feel excluded in their own house.

Grabbing your phone, you click on your friend's number. You call her, the ringing echoes three times and no one answer. Somehow begrudgingly, you resume yourself at simply sending a text. Just for you to instantly forgetting your sorrow as she answers. The discussion was quite simple, she was telling you she was at her grandma right now. She was bored and wanted to know how you were doing.

'I'm going back to my dear haunted apartment, probably gonna die. Wish me luck.' you texted. She put a little more time answering this one. It's possible it triggered something in her. After everything she endured. 'nobody will hurt you as long as i'm alive' she said. She simply changed subjects after that. Asking you about the cute guy you told her about in the letters. And so you explained everything. Every time you tried to offer to call her, she'd decline. You were still sad she didn't want to talk to you but you were telling yourself you needed to be patient.

On a happier note, you decided to leave the place to go to your own apartment.

To one point, you should have known better than be too happy about your improving situation. Of course, it was well too soon for you to consider everything better. But you were probably stupid because the fall hit you much harder than you could've prepared yourself for. Oh, the pain you felt when reality had finally caught you. You thought you were going to die when you came back home to simply grab some clothes. (Ethan told you to do so.)

Your door was ajar. But it wasn't your doing. No, of course it wasn't you. Your apartement terrified you, why would you come here more ofthen than needed ? You felt your body freeze but you quickly overcame the feeling. That's it. You needed it to end. This fucking stalker had ruined you. You and your life. You sent a text to Ethan, telling him that if you do not call him after twenty minutes, he needed to call the cops. He didn't answer. He was at work. It was well past eleven by now.

Your heart was beating so hard you thought it was going to collapse on the ground, and you with it. Slowly, aware of every sound around you, you push the door. Your livingroom was as messy as you had left it. At one difference, the wall. Every frame you had put up on the walls were thrown away. Most of them on the ground and broken, with shattered glasses everywhere.

Why would the creep empty the walls ? To write on it. Of course they would write on it. You laugh bitterly for yourself. You couldn't see their stupids fucking signs anymore, so they had to improve. To force you to read their creepy obsessive text. You hear the crushing of a broken piece of glass, as if someone had stepped on it. But it wasn't you.

You're on alert. Every one of your senses on crisis. Was your mind playing tricks on you ? It was possible in this hellish house who did nothing but give you nightmares recently. You don't realize how you stopped breathing. Only calming when three long minutes had gone without another sound to be heard.

Nothing is here. You're alone, you think. Everything is good. You'll just grab your stuff and leave. Regaining your breath, you bring your attention back on the wall. Words were written on it in deep crimson red. Is that blood ? No, it can't be. Probably paint to give a creepy look that'll catch your attention. You approach the wall to better understand the message.

'She's not here anymore'

The need to throw up almost won. A dark feeling in your guts was telling you 'she' was your friend. But you didn't know. She responded to you, after all. You talked to her. So she had to be okay. She had to. You put your hand on your belly to soothe that want to vomit. You take big breath before finally leaving the livingroom. You quickly make your way to your room where you meet your bare bed. Where are your sheets ? What the hell ? But you don't want to stay longer so you throw clothes in your bag in a hurry.

The front door slam shut. And you know it's the end.

You already feel the tears drowning your sight. Trying to stay silent, you hide in your closet almost empty with how many times you came here to grab clothes. Your hand clasp against your mouth to avoid doing any noise.

Slow footsteps can be heard in the empty apartment. With your shaky hands, you fail to unlock your phone. Your vision is blurry, you can't touch the correct keys. The worst is that you can't see where the creep is. If they stay silent, they can enter the room you're in without you even noticing. And this idea is horrifying. But on another side, you'd preferred them to kill you by surprise so you don't have to affront them.

Your cries intensify, in your despair, you drop your phone straight on the ground. The footsteps stops abrutly. Three distincts knocks are echoing on the corridor's wall. They are coming toward you. You're fucked. They're coming ! What do you do ? What did you do ? Why is this happening ?

Kneeling like you could in the closed space, you reach your hand to grab your phone. As soon as your finger grazes it, the phone vibrate and your ringtone start playing for the whole building to hear. No, no, no, no, no ! Ethan. Ethan is calling you. You pick up despite everything but as soon as you do so, the call is cut short. Fuck E, why would you do that !

The criminal's footsteps are louder, quicker, heavier. They're running. They're running here ! You hold the closet door shut with your both hands, praying for your life. You only have knives in your kitchen, but it's too late now. If you go out, they'll see you. You realized at that moment that whatever you were doing, you couldn't win. That you never even stood a chance against them.

Everything was illusion.

Nothing was improving, you knew it, in fact. You were lying to yourself, searching comfort in a man that don't even understand the dept of the problem. Of your problem. And your friend ? You don't want to talk about her. You don't want to open your eyes just yet. You just want to live in your nice little lies you made up for yourself. You're nice with them, in fact, you like them. Nobody wanted to help you anyway. They could have saved you, you and her, but nobody listened.

Now, it's too late.

The closet start to shake. Widening your eyes, you realize that the creep had start to punch it with their bare fist. You don't give a fuck about being heard anymore, you're bailing your eyes out. Begging for them to let you go, screaming, yelling, calling for help. Holding the door for dear life as if it was going to save you, because in your head it was. But the door didn't last long.

A hole is quickly created in the door. You thought you'd see someone's face, wether it be a man, a woman, whatever. But you saw a white plastic mask instead.

Ghostface.

Why was a damn Ghostface chasing after you? Was it all a sick joke from the start ? You swear you were seeing his eyes boring into yours through the mask. You swore you already saw them somewhere. Ghostface tilts their face to the side, as if mocking you. They were telling you that you were stuck, that it was the end. You hoped they'd kill you.

You couldn't live like this anymore.

In the hole of the closet, Ghostface pass his gloved hand. The latter lay on your shaky face, on your cheek to be exact. You feel the fabric against your skin and think of biting his fingers off. No, you'll angry him. If he's going to kill you, that it be in the least painful way.

"Ethan, right ? Does he treat you so well you forgot about me?" his changed voice said. A weird and creepy robotic voice, one you knew you'd never forget.

You were moving your head left to right. You didn't know why. Probably to tell you didn't want to die, probably to avoid looking into his eyes. He laughs, sounding like a rumbling.

"Ending things right now would be such a waste."

No ! You thought you were finally free ! Why would he chases you down for so long without acting on it !? His gloved hand retract and the door slowly open in an acute creaking. The man is finally revealed before you. He was wearing the whole outfit, the big black robe and the hood.

"It was fun. I give you a gift to reward you for these beautiful screams."

And the knife.

He had a knife in hand. And it was tinged red. Something in you told you it was her. Suddenly, the red writings on your wall had a different meaning.

"I hope you like it, I worked extra hard for it."

Out of nowhere, Ghostface takes your hand, force it open, and lay in it something before forcing it closed. He laughs deeply. One of his hand pat your head mockingly before moving up.

"See you later." he said, swinging his knife in a playful manner.

You were absolutely paralyzed. You didn't know what happened. You stayed up without moving for whoever say how long. When your legs finally stopped shaking, you decided to look what the killer had gave you. Slowly opening your hand, your knee buckle and you fall to the ground crying silently at the sight of a nip of your friend's hair.

You curled up on yourself before completly laying down on the ground, tightening the hairs in your hand close to your heart. She was not here anymore. You wanted to fucking die.

Ever since, Ethan was forgotten. He had tried to call you so many times you had blocked his number. You spent the rest of the day crying in your hotel's room. You resented him. So hard. He didn't answer, he was the one calling and giving your position to a fucking criminal, to a murderer! And he didn't answer. He didn't help, like everyone else.

One day later, neighbors complained about a smell coming from an apartment. You didn't cry when they found your friend's dead body. You didn't cry when cops came to interrogate you. The caretaker having told them about you. Your eyes contained so much hatred in them when looking at him the cops had to let him leave to get him away from you. You didn't cry telling the cops how many times you went to see them to ask for help, nor how many times did they reject you. You didn't cry when they told you she was dead for at least a week, and that her boyfriend was missing. You had no tears left in you. It had simply ended you.

All your lies, every single one of them, destroyed. But you needed them. Of course you weren't talking to her by text, you never did. And fuck, you don't even want to know who was answering instead of her. It was so obvious how she never wanted to call, how she was never leaving her house. But the eye you saw at the peephole. The fucking eye...

You don't want to think about it.

Ethan tried to talk to you. He went to your hotel and found you. You didn't bother to move this time as you were done with your life. He fell to his knee and started begging and crying for your forgivness. Did you even love him ? Or were you, are you, just lonely ? Unfortunately, you decided to forgot the anger you had against him when you realized he was the only thing you had. Your only support. The only one knowing you were a victim. You spent the days crying in his arms.

"Shhh, shhh, I'm here, love. It's okay." he reassured you, again.

It was a routine, now. You'd sleep the days away and when you'd wake up, you'd find yourself crying inconsolably. Everything was your fault, you kept repeating in your head. She's fucking dead because of you.

You wanted to end it all but Ethan wanted you alive at every cost. He was brushing your hair, feeding, washing and changing you. You were a lifeless doll. Sometimes, his roomate would come and talk to you. Most of the times, you don't even realize he's talking to you, too lost in your thought to proceed his presence.

"It's okay, everything's okay."

Ethan hugs you firmly. Kissing your hairline. His t-shirt was damped. Your eyes were burning. Every time you closed them, the picture of your friend would come and haunt you, a new nightmare coming. You weren't able to think about something else anymore. But it was your fault. You put her in danger, you got her killed. It was you Ghostface wanted, not her. You got her killed.

"I want to leave..." you whispered in a voice so hoarse, so weak, it didn't sound like yours. His hand goes on the back of your head to pull you towards him.

"No, no my love. It's okay. I'll protect you. You won't be alone anymore." his leg goes over yours and crushes them to prevents you from moving.

Alone.

Have you ever been alone in your life ? No, he was here all along. He was watching you all along. You never were truly alone. He had your adress, your friend's adress, your number and even Ethan's name. No, he's always here. Lurking.

"Just... Stay with me, I'll protect you. Please, don't leave me." he begs.

He looked calm, surprisingly calm being given the situation. But you needed it, in a way. If he doesn't freak out, you don't need to. (you coudn't, even if you wanted to) He probably know what to do. It was too late for you but he could do something. Maybe. His behaviour was slightly comforting. It was dangerous, mostly for him. He probably didn't even know what he was doing, he probably didn't know what he was getting himself into, in fact.

But once, just for once, you wanted to be helped. You wanted someone to listen to your pleas. He was going to die, it was a fact. And yeah, maybe you were selfish, you were condamning him after all.

"I feel like I'm using you. Like I manipulated you. you say, mostly for your own conscience than for his safety.

-Use me, love. I don't care. Manipulate me, whatever. I swore I'd help you. And if I have to risk my life doing it, I'll do it. I love you. You don't know the things I'd do for you.

-Now, you're the one manipulating me...

It was true. He was forcing you to think you had a chance in getting out of this situation when you knew there were none.

-Oh baby, you have no idea how manipulative I can be to obtain what I want.

-If you say so." you whisper, drifting to sleep once again, knowing you'd wake up hours later in the same position, in the same problem and knowing you killed your friend.

Pairing: The Mandalorian/Din Djarin x Female Reader

Warnings: Canon-typical violence. No use of Y/N. Minors DNI, 18+ only

Length: 2.9K

The next day was much of the same. You watched diligently out the window as people went about their lives on the streets below, fighting the urge to play with the cooing, babbling baby that was only a few feet from you.

You were starting to think you weren’t going to get anywhere with this when a young man - he couldn’t have been more than 30 - looked a bit cagey as he knocked on the door. It opened for him and he went inside.

“Mando,” you said, keeping the binocs to your eyes. “Can you see the door from here with the helmet?”

“Get something?” He asked, coming in close beside you. So close that his arm was pressed against yours. It took you a moment to remember what it is you were saying.

“Young guy just went inside,” you said. “Don’t think it was the quarry but…”

“But?” He asked after you were quiet for a moment.

“But I think he’s one of his buddies,” you replied, still watching the door. “It’s been a few years but he’s definitely familiar.”

Din tensed beside you.

“No, you can’t kill him.”

The man came out a few minutes later, still looking around cautiously.

“Not our guy,” Din confirmed. “But he’s the right age.”

“Can you track him from here?” You asked, keeping an eye on where he was going until he was out of sight.

“Tagged him,” he confirmed. You lowered the binocs. “What’s next.”

“We follow.”

Din stashed the kid - who was half asleep already - in his bag and put him on his back this time, closing him in totally as you scrambled to gather the few things that had made their way out of your bag.

You were rushing, going down a street parallel to the one the man had gone down, hoping he hadn’t turned.

“I’ve got him tracked, Doll,” Din said, voice steady. “Remember your resources.”

“I might need to ditch you though,” you said, starting to cut over to the other street. “You’re too noticeable.”

“No,” he said sharply. “Safety risk.”

You ground your teeth but kept going, stopping at the corner of a building and scanning the crowd as the lights of the storefronts around you turned on. The man passed you, not noticing you lurking. You smiled, giving him some time to get ahead of you a bit before slipping into the people behind him, Din at your heels.

He made his way through part of the city, you and the Mandalorian trailing him for a full hour. You’d sometimes grab Din and pull him into a shadow before falling into another cluster of people, trying to find other men who were at least close to the same height as Mando as you went. It didn’t help that he had a tendency to be a few inches taller than even the tallest people in a crowd. The man hadn’t seemed to notice the wall of armor stalking him, however. You almost scoffed. What a fucking amateur. You noticed him shift how he was moving before the Mandalorian did, quickly grabbing Din and pulling him to the side, tucking him fully into the shadows as you watched the man go into a building, apartments from the look of it.

“What next,” Din asked without asking, your hand still against his chest as you looked out on the street around you.

“Want to see all the ways in and out,” you said. “Then see if we can find a place where I can watch them all.” You looked back to him. “Can you stay put for just five minutes? I’d rather a Mandalorian not be seen prowling around outside the place. I promise I won’t go far.”

He considered it for a moment.

“Fine,” he said. “But com link on.”

You rolled your eyes but obeyed, flipping the link on with dramatic flair. You could feel him glare at you.

“What, you’re paranoid.”

“No,” he replied. “I’m experienced. Five minutes, Doll, then I find you.”

You glared at him for a second but started out. You tried to look unobtrusive, though you highly doubted the man you’d been following was looking for you. He hadn’t noticed you following him before, he wouldn’t notice you now.

In a happy bit of luck, the building only had two exits and a few units. Judging from the timing of lights coming on in the corner unit on the third floor up, that’s where he was. At least you doubted he’d be sneaking anyone in and out through windows. You made your way back to the Mandalorian.

“Where to.”

“Haven’t quite figured that out yet,” you replied, looking around you. Mando watched you, leaning against the wall. After a moment, you sighed. “What?”

“Nothing,” he shrugged. “Your hunt.”

“You want to say something.”

“If you want help you have to ask for it,” he replied.

“You know, this is a lot easier when it’s just me and not two meters of beskar just hanging out in the background,” you glared at him. He laughed once.

“Figure it out or ask, Doll.”

You glared at him for a moment before looking back to the building. The apartment across from the man’s lights were off.

“Stay put,” you ordered him. “Five minutes.” You turned to leave and then looked back. “Maybe 10.”

“Don’t push it.”

You went back to the building and tried the door, but it needed a code. There was a panel next to the door with unit numbers. You loosened yourself up for a moment before buzzing a unit that you were pretty sure had a light on and didn’t have the quarry’s suspected friend.

“Yes?”

“Hi, I’sorry,” you slurred, leaning against the wall beside the panel like you could barely hold yourself up. “I jus’ moved in and I can’t ‘member the code, would you mind letting me in?”

The man on the other end sighed.

“Don’t make a lot of noise.”

The door slid open.

“Thanks s’much!” You stumbled to the door. “I’mma buy you a beer…”

You didn’t wait for a response, finding your way to the lift and heading to the third floor, keeping up the drunk act. You stumbled your way to the unit you hoped was empty. There was no indication of anyone living there from the outside, so you took a guess at the key code - just four zeros, simple for people coming by to look at the place. The door slid open. Totally empty. You ducked inside and quickly closed and locked the door behind you, changing the code and bringing up the camera from the other side of the door on the panel. Perfect.

“Found a spot, Mando,” you smirked into your com link, couldn’t help it. “Go to the entrance, press the button for 3B and I’ll let you in.”

There was a pause.

“How did you do that.”

“Amazing what people will do for you if they don’t think you’re a threat,” you replied. “Much easier without all the armor…”

There was an almost exasperated sigh.

“On our way.”

If secrecy hadn’t been paramount, you’d have made him wait longer at the door of the building but, instead, you let him up and inside immediately, closing the door behind him.

“Good job, Doll,” he said, sounding frustrated about it. You smiled.

“I’ll watch the panel,” you said. “Should see him come and go from there. Feel free to nap.”

You could feel him glare at you.

“What?” You were trying not to laugh.

“You’re doing this like a spy,” he said.

“So?”

“It’s working.”

You smirked.

You watched the panel overnight, having a hard time keeping your eyes open but pushing through. When you’d trained, you’d stayed awake for three solid days once. Yes, you were a teenager then, back when sleep seemed like a choice more than a necessity. But you could do that again.

It was easier said than done now, though, and you had to focus to keep your eyes from crossing. You weren’t entirely sure how long you’d been sitting there when Din came and sat beside you, resting his back against the same wall as you.

“You should sleep,” you said, not looking at him, keeping your eyes on the panel showing the empty hallway.

“Don’t need it,” he said.

“Kid still out?” You glanced at him this time, picturing how his body looked below his armor in spite of yourself. He gave a stiff nod and you looked back at the panel.

“Bored yet?”

You laughed a little.

“I did think bounty hunting would be a bit more exciting,” you replied.

“Can be,” he shrugged. “Sometimes it’s this. Thought you’d be used to it with spying.”

“When you’re spying, the information is the goal, not the person,” you replied. “Can’t get away with watching from a distance for long, you have to be closer than this. At least, with the kind of work I did, anyway.”

Din was silent for a moment.

“Just how…” he paused. “Close did you get.” You frowned, confused. “To the people you were spying on. Did you have to…”

You frowned, actually turning your head to look at him this time.

“Din, are you asking me if I fucked the people I was getting information out of?” You half smiled. He didn’t say anything. You looked forward again. “No, never had to fuck information out of anyone. Definitely flirted it out of a fair few people but that was usually plenty to get them alone to capture them. Or get me closer to the person who needed interrogating.” The hallway was still empty.

He was quiet beside you.

“Why?” You asked eventually, staring at the monitor in the panel. You couldn’t bring yourself to look at him and have this conversation.

“I just… don’t know anything about that aspect of your life,” he said, voice hesitant.

“The interrogation work or my sex life?” You teased. You felt him glare at you and you sighed. “Yeah, I know. You’ve seen some of the interrogation work.”

You were quiet for a minute.

“I mean, do you really want to know?” You asked, glancing at him. “I don’t know anything about yours, either.”

He shrugged.

“Not much to know,” he said. “Usually just a physical release when there’s a woman who’s interested.”

You nodded slowly, a sharp pain gnawing at your stomach. Well, you were a woman who was interested. Probably why he said he wanted you to stay. You were convenient. You could live with that. Better than any other option you’d had in years, in all honesty. You fidgeted with the seam of your pants near your knee and chewed the inside of your cheek.

“Not much to know for me, either,” you said, pulling harder at the seam. “Dagres was my first everything. And I was married to Kann, so…” `

“No one else?” He asked after a moment.

“I was a little busy trying to keep my best friend alive and then try to lay low enough that the Empire thinks I’m dead,” you didn’t mean to sound harsh but you did. You sighed. “But no. No one else until… well…”

You shrugged.

“Doll, I…” he began, but you cut him off.

“Really, it’s fine,” you said quickly. “I don’t want your pity, Din.”

There was a move on the monitor and you both focused on it, watching as the man emerged, looking around hesitantly before going down the hall.

“What time is it?” You whispered.

“Almost three,” he was just as quiet. You nodded once. “Grab the kid?”

You got up and reprogrammed the lock to all zeros again, like you were never here, and waited until you were sure he’d made it onto the lift before going into the hall.

You took the stairs down and watched him leave the building from the stairwell, following about 10 meters back. He went into a bar about two clicks away and you stayed in the shadows outside, watching from across the street.

“This is weird, right?” You asked, glancing up at Mando. “He was home, leaves in the middle of the night to go to a bar…”

“Good for meeting someone who doesn’t want to be seen,” he replied.

You weren’t waiting long when someone who - from behind, at least - looked like he could be your quarry.

“Think that’s him?” You asked, looking at the door he’d just disappeared into.

“Try the tracker,” he replied. “If it’s him, he’s close enough that it should work.”

You nodded once, pulling it out of your bag, pointing it toward the bar and flipping it on. It beeped and flashed. You glanced at Mando. He nodded once.

“Good work, Doll,” he said. “That’s him. How do you want to handle capture?”

You thought for a second, pocketing the tracker.

“We go in separately, me first,” you replied, meeting his eyes below the helmet. “I’ll see if I can get him outside. If I’m not out in five or you hear a commotion then you come in as backup.”

“You’ve got the com,” he said. You nodded once. He sighed. “Keep it on. I’ll go silent, at least then I can step in sooner if there’s a problem.”

“It’s going to be fine,” you rolled your eyes. “I’m armed and it’s probably not going to be four against one this time….”

“Doll,” he growled. “Safety. Com on.”

You pulled the com link from your pocket, made a show of flicking it on, and then put it back.

“Thank you,” he replied. “See you in five.”

You steeled yourself and headed for the bar.

It was quiet inside, only a handful of patrons left. Chellen and his friend were sitting at the bar, talking quietly to each other. You took a spot a few seats down from them, turning your head enough that they couldn’t see much of your face but sitting so they would see your figure. And the electrostaff strapped to your belt.

It didn’t take long for him to do exactly what you expected.

“Nice weapon,” he said, sliding up beside you. “Don’t see many of those around here.”

“I know,” you turned to face him, smiling. “I took this one a few years back, figured it was due for a visit.”

His eyes went wide and he stepped back from you.

“No…” he shook his head, looking over his shoulder to the man you’d spent the last day tailing.

“Didn’t I tell you to behave yourself?” You slipped off the barstool, one hand drifting down toward your blaster, the other setting the puck on the bar, the man’s face rendered in holographic light. “You ignored me, Chellen. I told you what would happen if you didn’t listen. Now, I’ve come to collect.”

The other man ran for the door and you let him go. You were pretty certain it was his vibroknife that had burned on Dantooine. He was hardly worth the trouble. The quarry’s eyes were wide and wild, weighing his options as you prowled closer, a hand close to your blaster. He decided to risk it, but he was slow, his blaster not even fully freed of its holster when your shot landed on his shoulder. You holstered your blaster again. The bar went silent beyond the man’s shout of pain.

“Guild business,” you said, still watching him, his weapon abandoned on the floor. “No need to be concerned.”

Chellen, to his credit, was still on his feet, a hand clutched to his injured shoulder as he looked for a way out.

“Running is a stupid move,” you warned him. “You’re worth more to me alive and I could use the credits. Make it easy on yourself.”

He ignored your advice, darting for the door. You sighed, about to give chase, when he ran smack into the Mandalorian’s armored chest. He fell back a step before grabbing Din’s arm.

“Please,” he said, words spilling from him so fast they were barely intelligible. “Please, kill her, I have credits I can hire you…”

The Mandalorian just looked down at him. You could feel the anger rolling off him. The quarry must have felt it, too, as he stepped backwards, closer to you. You resisted the urge to glare at Din. How was it that the Mandalorian became the bigger threat when you were what the guy was running from to begin with? A big man in shiny armor is apparently all it took to intimidate some people.

“Now Chellen,” you sighed, coming up behind him. He turned to face you, backing up as he did until his back was against the Mandalorian. “That was stupid. He wants you dead way more than I do. He wasn’t too pleased with the condition I was in the last time we met. He’s an eye for an eye sort of person…”

His head swung around to look at the Mandalorian as you pulled out the cuffs, slapping the first one on him while he was distracted.

“Lucky for you,” you said, grabbing his other wrist and quickly cuffing it before you started patting down his pockets. “I’m the one leading this hunt. Don’t try anything too stupid and you live. Break one of the rules Mando’s made up for you and you die.”

He gulped.

“Let’s go,” Mando growled, grabbing the man by the collar and hauling him from the bar. You retrieved the puck and put a few credits on the bar top.

“For your trouble,” you said with a nod to the bartender before leaving the bar, watching the Mandalorian haul the man you’d captured together toward the ship.

A/N: I did promise the balance between plot and smut would even out again eventually and that time is now! I hope you enjoyed Doll's version of hunting - and Mando's version of trying to not run the show all the time. And while we got no Din POV this time, next chapter opens with some so, for those who love to read from our stoic hero's perspective, he's coming back quick.

I'm super excited about the next big arc in their story. We're going to have a short, off shoot next chapter or two and then it's into a longer arc with higher stakes and very big moments. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Thanks for being here! Love you!

Im 98% sure their first kiss was after a big breakthrough on a project that had kept both of them overworking for the last 32 hours and Jayce was just SO exited he grabbed Viktor's face and gave him a big Smooch and then they continued as normal and went home. But later at 1:26 am Jayce wakes up in cold sweat with his heart racing, totally panicking and realizing what he had done (and he very much liked it too)

Haaaaaaa I’m sorry all I could think was this

But FR that so sounds like something Jayce would do. Like… he gets so excited over their current project, and he’s been harboring feelings for Viktor for so long, has fantasized about telling him for so long, that at this point he doesn’t even realize he hasn’t actually told him yet. So he just grabs him and kisses him silly.

And Viktor had been feeling the attraction between them, but hadn’t said anything because he didn’t want to jeopardize what they had going on by complicating it. But when Jayce kisses him, he’s like… well okay then, guess we’re doing this. But Jayce just moves on, so Viktor does too, and they don’t even talk about it. Until the next day, when Jayce comes in all bashful and awkward, and Viktor just sighs,

“You remembered what happened in the middle of the night, didn’t you?”

And Jayce bashfully nods. “It honestly felt so natural that I didn’t even notice… until later… that it wasn’t something we’d… done yet.”

Viktor grins, very aware of the “yet” and that it means Jayce had been thinking about kissing him for a long time.

“You’re right, it did feel natural,” he says confidently, beginning to erase yesterday’s work from the chalkboard.

Jayce inches closer. “So… I can… do it again?”

Viktor’s grin widens, taking on a mischievous tilt.

“I would be disappointed if you didn’t.”

EDIT: I just remembered an artist totally drew this!

My Hero Academia- I Am Phoenix:

Chapter 26- Mother and Daughter:

“Why are you telling me this?” Dad asked. All for One smirked.

“Because my old rival, 15 years ago, I had captured Ace and made sure that the villainy of All For One would have an heir if Tomura didn’t pan out… That phoenix child, the child you love so dearly, she is my biological daughter.” All For One revealed to not only my Dad, but everyone watching the fight.

What?! I thought, stumbling back from the revelation. “No… No, it can’t be true!” I refused to believe it at first, but as much as I hated to admit it, it made perfect sense. Shinohara, Tomura… They both alluded that they knew, probably having been told by All For One. But, even if that hadn’t been enough, the fact that All For One’s flame quirk had burned me was also proof. No other flame but my own had burned me in the past, so it made sense that flames that were similar would burn me too… Is that why Mom never talked about my biological father?

“Hino? Did you know about this?” Izuku asked me.

“Do I look like I knew? Obviously not!” I answered, looking at my friend.

“That’s… Definitely a bombshell, but now we know why the villains were after you… At least partly.” Kirishima put in. The crowd wasn’t as understanding as my friends were.

“She’s that monster's daughter?”

“How do we know she won’t turn out like him?”

“I can’t believe Ace is a traitor.”

“The girl must have conspired to be kidnapped to look innocent while betraying her classmates.”

“How awful of UA to let a traitor into their school.” Just as they had whispered against our teachers, the crowd was now whispering aagainst me. I felt a rough hand take mine, and when I looked up, Katsuki looked absolutely pissed.

“Those extras don’t know you like we do. Ignore them.” He told me. I tried, I really did, but then I wondered if I even belonged at UA High…

“You’re the one that abused Ace?!” The crowd fell silent at my Dad’s roar, everyone looking shocked. So Mom was abused… This jerk… He’s the one who hurt her?! I thought. “You’re the reason she disappeared for all those years?!” Dad sounded more pissed than he had ever been, including at the USJ. My mom had gone through the same thing I had, and I now saw firsthand just how protective my Dad was of my Mom. Dad was practically shaking with rage. “You bastard!” The scream he let out was angry, but… It held anguish for my Mom. All For One laughed, almost mockingly.

“How very entertaining. I think I’ve taken a piece of you after all.” All For One smirked.

“Don’t lose… Keep going, All Might! We need you!” A woman begged on screen.

“Don’t give up, Dad! Fight!” I yelled at the top of my lungs.

“Beat this guy…” Katsuki was still clutching my hand.

“No way.”

“What next?”

“Is he gonna lose?”

“He’s always been able to win before, so he can do it again, right?”

“Yeah, even if he looks totally different, he’s still the same All Might.”

“Come on, All Might, you can do it!” The crowd cheered for my dad,still believing in him despite the truth being revealed.

“Beat this sucker!”

“Show him what you can do!” The crowd cheered. My eyes were glued to the screen as All For One launched an attack while Dad was frozen in place.

“DAD!” I screamed, only for dust to kick up. My heart pounded as I looked for my Dad, for any sign that he was okay. What I found… Was a 5 foot 7 inch tall woman standing in front of my Dad, a pair of metal fans crossed out in front of her. Her hair still had the traces of red from her youth, though it was more gray than color now. Her silver eyes were open now, narrow in more anger and fury than I’d ever seen before. My mother, the strongest woman and hero I knew, was standing in defiance of her tormentor. Everyone around us gasped in shock before cheers of excitement rose from the crowd.

“All Might, don’t you lose that smile. The strongest are the ones that smile, remember?” She peered over her shoulder, the anger fading and being replaced by a bright smile. My Dad’s eyes widened, looking shocked and almost relieved that my mother was alive. The regeneration quirk given to her hadn’t healed her injuries without scars, but all the same, it was still her… There were wrinkles on her face, a sign of lost time, but I finally had my mother back. She turned to All For One and that the look of love instantly turned to hatred. “As for you!” She shoved All For One back, the villain sliding a bit. “For 23 long years, I was tormented by you. Abused, ripped apart, constantly in a state of fear even while away from you only to get recaptured, my wings taken from me only to be replaced with a few different powers that nearly killed me!” With every word, Mom attacked with energy blasts that seemed to knock him further and further back. “I spent too long afraid of you, but the worst by far was kidnapping my daughter and stripping the man I love down to nothing. You’ve crossed a line and it’s time you pay!” All For One managed to block her last attack and countered, causing Mom to backflip and land next to my Dad. “All Might, let’s finish this!"

“Win this!” Izuku yelled.

“Beat him!” Katsuki yelled.

“TAKE HIM DOWN, MOM AND DAD!” I cheered my parents on, filling with pride as I saw my parents standing side by side, just like when I was little.

“COME ON, ALL MIGHT!” Katsuki and Izuku both exclaimed. I watched as Dad’s power filled his arm.

“Fear not, miss.” Dad’s voice was pointed toward the civilian woman from earlier. “I’m not done yet.” He turned to All For One. “You were right, a hero has so much to protect in this world. Which is why we will defeat you!” Mom and Dad both powered up for an attack, muscles only forming on Dad’s right arm and I got the feeling that this would be the last time Dad would fight with One For All within him. It felt kinda fitting that Mom was beside him though. They started their journeys together and now… Their journeys were ending together, side by side…

“There it is… That’s the last of your strength, isn’t it, All Might? A wounded hero is a most frightening animal. Do you know that even now I sometimes dream of you charging at me with your entrails strewn across the ground?” All For One spoke, and the look in mother's eyes turned dangerous. “You have what, two or three punches left?” All For One was gearing up for another attack too. All of a sudden, flames surrounded All For One, making him use the attack he had geared up to dispell them.

“Are you serious?!” I could hear Endeavor’s voice. “What the hell’s going on with that weak little body?!”

“Shut the hell up, you flaming bastard!” I guess Mom got irked by Endeavor's exclamation, because she fired back at him.

“Looks like we made it in time.” Edgeshot’s voice was next. “Tsukauchi must’ve expected this. He feared for his friend’s life.”

“Hmm… Those Nomu weren’t particularly strong, but I’m still impressed you handled them so quickly. As expected from the man who clawed his way to the number-two spot.” All For One took a dig at Endeavor, who now looked absolutely pissed.

“Damn it, All Might. I did everything I could to get ahead of you. But, the harder I worked, the more obvious it became just how much of a widening gap separated the two of us. The stronger you got, the angrier I became. Stand up and show them why you’re better!” Endeavor exclaimed.

“If the only reason you’re here is to cheer him on, I’d prefer you to remain silent!” All For One geared up for an attack again, Mom tensing into a ready position.

“Think again, madman. We’re here to assist.” Edgeshot told him, easily maneuvering into a position where he could fight easily. Kaumi Woods soon entered the scene and got Best Jeanist and Mount Lady out of there, much to my own relief.

“That’s our job as heroes!” Kamui Woods added. He used his Quirk to keep Mount Lady close to him. “You did your best, Mount Lady.”

“All of you came.” Dad sounded almost surprised.

“Of course we did. We can’t do much, but if we can just help a little, then we have fulfilled our duty.” Tiger got the civilian woman from earlier out of where she was trapped as he was talking.

“Thank you.”

“You have to stop him, All Might. This personification of evil… Pros and citizens everywhere are praying for your victory. No matter what you look like, you’re still everyone’s number-one hero!” Tiger continued as Edgeshot and Endeavor fought All For One to distract him. My mom jumped into the fight, fighting like hell to make sure everyone was safe. Everyone around us was shouting encouragement to my Dad, but ultimately, Mom was the one who caused him to move his head to look at her.

“Toshi, fight! Our daughter is waiting for us to come home, we can’t make her go through losing both of us in one go!” Mom was encouraging him. As usual, she was thinking of everyone else but herself. All For One scoffed.

“How pointless.” He let off a blast that Mom tried avoiding, but ultimately got knocked back, hitting the ground hard. As my own cheers went silent, I watched my Mom go motionless. I was frozen in fear, afraid that I lost my Mom once again. “Let’s stop dwelling on heroism and start focusing on reality. Springlike Limbs, Kinetic Booster times four, Strength Enhancer times three! Multiplier! Hypertrophy! Rivets! Air Walk! Spearlike Bones! The shockwaves until now were simply to wear you out. I knew it would take much more than that to kill you. In order to put you down for good, I’ll punch you with the ultimate combination of Quirks I have stored up within me right now. This will end you.” I let out a shaky breath I didn’t even know I was holding as my Mom struggled to get up, only for Edgeshot to get to her, saying something in her ear. She looked determined and continued forcing herself to stand, pushing Edgeshot away from her. “I wasn’t certain until we exchanged blows tonight, All Might. But now, I am.” Much to my horror, Mom sprang forward to get back to my Dad’s side again. “One For All no longer dwells within you.” That made my blood run cold. He knows… “What you’re attacking me with is just a lingering ghost. The embers that remain from what you’ve already passed on, and that fire gets weaker every time you use it. Even now, it’s a feeble spark about to put itself out. Izuku Midoriya!” My face paled even more when I heard my friend’s name leave All For One’s mouth. Dad gasped, Mom looking at Dad. She didn’t know… “I almost thought you had passed it onto Hinotori, but he’s the child you passed One For All onto, isn’t he? I bet he came here without your asking. You have no control over him, do you? It sounds as though you’ll die full of regrets, All Might. As a hero and a teacher!” The two charged at each other, pulling back their fists. Mom was at my Dad’s side, readying her own punch. With a yell, the two combined their strength into a punch that locked with All For One’s. An explosion kicked up dust and smoke again. “Impact Recoil!” I heard All For One before Dad grunt in pain. They both slid back and I could see that Dad had broken his arm and had my Mom behind him. He had given up relying on her strength to protect her from the recoil…

“You’re right. As his teacher, I should have reprimanded him for coming here. I failed, which is why I have to make it up to him!” Dad replied.

“I see. The weak embers inside you are resisting, trying to rekindle some of your former strength. A desperate attempt to rage against the inevitable, and fulfill your duty. But, it’s not enough!” Mom yelled in anger and fury as she punched the same time Dad fell backwards, causing a shield to form as she was now the one in front of Dad as he got back his footing.

“We’ll both beat you, not because he’s a symbol…” Mom started.

“But because I will do as my master did for me! Until I finish training Young Midoriya, until he’s ready…” Dad continued.

“Until our daughter no longer needs our strength…”

“It’s embarrassing how much you’re resisting.” All For One retorted.

“I won’t…” Dad switch the power in his right arm to his left.

“Perhaps I was wrong…” All For One trailed off. Mom and Dad got past All For One’s punch, leaving the villain wide open for an attack.

“WE REFUSE TO DIE!” The punch landed, twisting All For One.

“What a clever trick. That’s so unlike either of you. Still weak, though!” All For One taunted as he launched another attack, one that my parents easily dodged. I noticed smoke coming from Dad’s arm.

“THAT’S BECAUSE WE DIDN’T PUT OUR BACKS INTO IT THAT TIME!” My parents shouted. Both yelled as they clenched their fists, bringing their whole body weights forward as they attacked. “UNITED STATES OF SMASH!” The punch landed and landed hard, both slamming All For One into the ground with a force that caused a temporary wind gale to blow upward. Everyone was dead quiet, waiting with bated breaths as my parents didn’t move for a minute. After a moment of catching their breaths, I watched as my Dad took Mom’s hand in his and slowly lifted their hands high, claiming their victory. I collapsed to my knees, holding my face in my hands. Not only did I have my Mom back, but my Dad survived that fight. The crowd around us cheered, the sound nearly deafening.

“ALL MIGHT WINS! THE VILLAIN’S NOT MOVING! HE’S KNOCKED OUT! ALL MIGHT STANDS VICTORIOUS! HE’S SAVED US YET AGAIN!” As the reporter gave excited commentary, my Dad shifted into his muscle form, stumbling a bit and catching himself, keeping his arm raised. I could barely hear the other heroes.

“He shouldn’t push himself.” Edgeshot sounded worried.

“Let him be. He’s still working. This is his last job.” Gramps told him. The crowd around us was chanting my Dad’s hero name…

A couple hours later, people were still trying to clear out as the report on the aftermath started. All For One was led away, and I watched as Dad held Mom close to him, coughing. Mom looked absolutely exhausted, and it looked like it had taken a lot out of her to stand up to All For One, even with Dad beside her for support. “We can’t go anywhere. I wish we could find Todoroki and Yaoyorozu.” Iida spoke up first.

“Let’s just head that way.” Kirishima pointed out. “We should let the heroes know we got Bakugo and Hino in case they’re looking for them.” Katsuki wrapped his arm around my waist, keeping me with him and forcing me to walk with the others. Dad was pointing at the camera without looking when I looked at the screen again.

“Now… Now, it’s your turn.” While it was interpreted as a warning to other villains by everyone else, it really meant that Dad was well and truly done, that it was now up to Izuku. I think Izuku realized that, because he began crying… After the fight, we’d met up with Todoroki and Yaomomo, the former hugging me in relief, before Katsuki and I were taken to meet with the police. Katsuki was way too silent the whole way there… That should have been my first clue that something was wrong…

The next few hours were filled with giving interviews to the police on what happened after Katsuki and I got seperated, and what I knew about my relation to All For One. I stayed at the hospital with both my parents until they were released. As uncomfortable as it was, I didn't feel safe anywhere else. Honestly, I also didn't want to be too far away from my parents at that point either… “The embers inside of me have been snuffed out. The mighty Symbol of Peace is no more. However… I won’t just sit here, there’s still something I must do.” Dad was talking to me, Mom, Uncle Naomasa and Gramps.

“Tomura Shigaraki. Shimura’s grandson, yes?” Gramps asked.

“The only proof we have of that and Hino’s relation to All For One is what the man himself said, it’s not much to go on.” Uncle Naomasa said.

“Unfortunately, the part about Hino is true.” Mom corrected. Uncle Naomasa looked at her.

“Willing or…”

“It was otherwise, and I’m not discussing the details in front of my daughter.” Mom interrupted as he started to ask. It’s not like I’m a little kid, I know what that means… I thought, a little annoyed. But, then again, if it was what I thought, it was traumatic for her to remember…

“Anyways, the two of you didn't have any interaction with Shimura’s family, even though you were so close to her?” Uncle Naomasa asked Dad and Gramps.

“No.” Gramps answered plainly.

“But why not?” Uncle Naomasa voiced my own thoughts on the matter.

“It happened soon after Shimura’s husband was killed. Concerned, she put her child in foster care to shield the youngster from the hero world. She told Toshinori and I that she didn't want us to have any contact with the kid, even if something terrible were to happen to her.” Gramps told us.

“And in the end, your promise backfired.” Mom realized with a sigh.

“I’m sorry to hear that.” Uncle Naomasa added in.

“My master gave up her heart so that her family might know a life full of peace. I must track Shigaraki down as soon as possible.” Dad clenched his fist.

“And do what? Give him a pat on the head?” Mom scolded. “You’re not seeing him for the villain he is. Your emotions would cloud your judgement even if you still had a Quirk, that’s dangerous. It’s very possible that Shigaraki was put through abuse before he came to All For One, abuse that could have made him hate heroes. In my time under All For One’s wing as a double agent, Shigaraki had fading bruises all over him when he first came to All For One.” I looked at Mom. She had been a double agent? She noticed the look I gave her and sighed. “It was a long time ago, Hino, I’ll explain later.”

“No matter Shigaraki's lineage, he’s still a criminal.” Gramps put in, Mom nodding in agreement. “Tsukauchi and I will investigate Shigaraki and the League without you for now. You stay at UA, you still have many responsibilities there. Even if you cannot be the Symbol of Peace that you once were, don’t forget that All Might is still alive.” He then turned to Mom, who’d started to open her mouth to say something. “I don't want to hear a word about you helping, Asuka, you’re not doing anything but resting and making up for lost time with your daughter… Besides, Principal Nezu wanted to speak with you as soon as you heal, so for now, focus on resting and saving your strength.” Gramps told her, and I watched, half amused as Mom closed her mouth.

“Once we’re released, you’ll stay with me for as long as you need.” Dad put in, turning to Mom. I felt awkwardly aware of the fact that I had left in kind of a hurry the morning of the training camp and hadn't had time to clean my room since then… “And just wait till you meet the students Hino goes to class with, they’re a lively bunch.”

“Lively might be understating it…” I trailed off.

“Who’s the homeroom teacher, Hino?” Mom asked, turning to me.

“For my class? Mr. Aizawa.” I answered simply. Mom blinked before barking a laugh, throwing her head back.

“I called it! From the moment that little rascal stepped into the same agency as me, I knew he’d end up being a great teacher!”

“Wait, he used to work at the same agency as you, Mom?” I asked.

“Oh, honey, back in my younger days, he came to me fresh out of UA and was my sidekick until he got his own agency... I wonder how the geezer is, I haven’t seen him for a while…” Mom trailed off.

“All the more reason for you to rest, Asuka, I mean it.”

“All right, all right, I will, Pops! Sheesh…” Mom eyed Gramps, almost as if expecting one of his infamous kicks to the face despite him being in civilian attire. Once they were released, Dad got Mom settled and then went to talk to Izuku. I would have gone with him to keep him from reprimanding him, but Gramps was right…

Mom and I had some serious catching up to do…

I ended up telling her everything we’d gone through that year so far and like I thought, she reprimanded me for jumping into a fight with the Hero Killer, especially when she heard it was after being attacked and injured by Wendigo… She sighed by the end of it, covering her face with her hand and tipping her head back until it hit the couch with a soft thud. “I should have known something like this would happen if Toshi ended up helping me raise you… That you’d end up being just as reckless as he is… And as reckless as me…” She turned her head to look at me, dropping her hand. “But, I’m happy that you have such good friends at UA that look after you.” She then grinned mischievously. “It sounds like you have a crush on the Todoroki and Bakugo boys.” I had to admit, my face turned bright red.

“Mom!’ I whined, making her laugh as she gave me a hug.

“I can’t wait to meet everyone.” Mom told me. We talked some more until we were both exhausted as hell, passing out on the couch together.

Dad pretty much never left Mom's side for the next few days, only leaving us alone when he had to talk to my classmates’ families about some new thing the school was implementing. When he got home, he had Mr Aizawa with him. “Shouta, hello.” Mom greeted him.

“Hello, Asuka… I’m sorry to interrupt your day, but I’m here about the notice you received in the mail.” Mr Aizawa told her. She sighed, closing her eyes for a minute.

“Yes, Toshi did say that he had to speak with the other families with you.” She sat down at the table, looking like she had expected this conversation to happen.

“I know it’s a lot to ask, for Hinotori to move into the dorms, especially so quickly after just regaining each other…” Mr. Aizawa started, but Mom put her hand up, signalling for him to wait.

“My answer is already yes. Besides, I’ll be helping teach if Principal Nezu’s offer made anything clear, so I technically wouldn't be far from her.”

“That’s right, you’ll be an assistant nurse to Recovery Girl, as well as helping teach the Hero Course students. With the chaos of today, I’d almost forgotten.” Mr Aizawa replied. Mom glanced at Dad.

“And I believe Toshi believes the same thing I do… That UA is the safest place for her.” She added, Dad nodding in agreement.

“I’ll protect her… We all will.” Mr Aizawa swore to my Mom. She nodded.

“Thank you.” She sounded truly grateful, Mr Aizawa nodding in reply.

“Of course. I’m sorry to just pop in and head back out, but I have to get back to the list, there’s just one more family to convince.” Mr. Aizawa replied.

“I understand, you’ve probably been having a busy day today.” Mom responded. Mr. Aizawa bowed again before turning to leave. “Oh, and Shouta?” He stopped to face her as she smiled. “It’s good to see you.” Much to my own surprise, I watched as Mr Aizawa cracked a smile, seeming to look younger for a quick second.

“It’s good to see you too.” He replied before he nodded to Dad and left. I looked at Mom in shock, and I guess she thought it was pretty funny, because she burst out laughing.

“What?!” I asked.

“You looked so shocked that he smiled.” Mom giggled.

“Because he never does around us!” I pointed out while she was in her giggle fit before Dad explained about the dorms. It was on the edge of the campus, about a five minute walk from the main school. The student dorm, Heights Alliance, was constructed in an impressive three days. This was to be our new home…

We were all gathered in front of the new dorms on that Sunday morning. “Given everything that’s happened, I’m glad we’re able to bring Class 1-A back together.”

“So we all got the go ahead to move on campus.” Sero grinned, looking around at everyone. Toru sighed.

“It took a lot of convincing for my parents.” She bent a bit, sounding relieved.

“I was pretty concerned about mine…” Kyoka trailed off.

“It makes sense, you got the worst of the gas attack.” Ojiro pointed out. I felt the color drain from my face. She got the worst of it?! I thought. While I’d heard about the gas, I hadn't known before that moment just how bad Kyoka had gotten it.

“We’re glad to see the teachers got to come back, too.” Tsu chimed in before I could fully process anything. “I was afraid you wouldn't be allowed. The people at the press conference seemed pretty upset with you guys.”

“Yeah.” Ochaco agreed.

“I was surprised as well, but circumstances have changed…. Now then, I’ll explain how your dorm assignments will work shortly.” He then clapped his hands together once. “First, however… We haven’t forgotten about the provisional hero licenses you were supposed to get during the training camp.”

“Oh yeah! That’s what we were there for.” Sato exclaimed.

“So much has happened, it totally slipped my mind.” Mina added in.

“This is important, listen well.” I tensed at Mr Aizawa’s tone and looked at the classmates that had gone to rescue Katsuki and I. That tone meant they were in serious trouble, trouble they wouldn't have been in if I had been able to get Katsuki and myself out of there alone… If I hadn't gotten kidnapped… “Kirishima, Yaoyorozu, Todoroki, Midoriya, Iida.” His eyes narrowed. “You five were the ones who broke the rules and went to recuse Bakugo and Yagi that night.” Everyone else looked surprised, and I realized that they hadn't known that the five of them had gone after us… Mr Aizawa sighed. “Based on your reactions, I assume the rest of you were at least aware of their plan. I’m going to set aside a number of issues and just say this: If it weren't for All Might’s retirement from the Hero scene, I would expel everyone here except Bakugo, Yagi, Jiro and Hagakure. The five of you who went, of course, but also the remaining 12 who didn't stop them. You betrayed our trust, even if it was to keep your friends from getting into trouble. In order to regain our confidence, you'll need to obey every rule to the letter and live as model students. That’s all. Now, look alive. Enjoy your new home.”

“Uh, we’re supposed to be excited after that speech?” Kaminari and Sero questioned as Mr Aizawa walked away. They wouldn't have had a chance to betray anyone's trust if I hadn't gotten captured… The thought crossed my mind as I glanced down at my feet. I felt like it was all my fault… If I had just been strong enough…

“Come here.” Katsuki’s voice interrupted my thoughts and I looked up as the blond dragged Kaminari around to the other side of the hedges by the back of the collar.

“Uh-huh? Wait? For what?” Kaminari protested as he got yanked around the bushes. All we saw was electricity shooting up from the top of the bushes before Kaminari sprang back out in full on dumb mode. Jiro snorted, covering her mouth with her hand.

“Dude, what'd Bakugo do to you?” Sero asked, though he sounded a little more cheered up.

“Kirishima!” Katsuki called out to our red haired friend, handing him money.

“WHOA, DID YOU SHAKE HIM DOWN FOR CASH?!” Kirishima exclaimed.

“No! This is my money, you idiot! To replace what you spent.” Katsuki looked and sounded pissed that Kirishima had made the assumption, though I hadn't been far behind on Kirishima's thought, honestly…

“Huh? How’d you know I bought night vision goggles?” Kirishima asked.

“You bought night vision goggles? That shit’s expensive as hell.” I replied. Katsuki didn't answer Kirishima though, just shoved the money into Kirishima's chest to make him take it and started to walk inside.

“Don’t say I never gave you anything, now I’m not in your debt. Kaminari, show ‘em your dumb side.” Katsuki turned his attention from the red head to the lightning blond.

“Oh man, what a moron, you’re so hopeless.” Jiro snorted before a noise coming out of Kaminari put her into hysterical laughter, the others not far behind her. I smiled a bit, jogging to catch up.

“Aw, you big softie.” I teased.

“Shut it, I ain't soft!” Katsuki yelled, making me laugh. “I saw the pouty look earlier.” I quit laughing. Is that why he made everyone laugh? “Don't go blaming yourself for the crap that went down that night. It’s not your fault.”

“It’s not your fault, either.” I pointed out. He didn't say anything, but the look on his face told me he didn't believe me. I sighed, looking down.

“Don’t you go worrying about me either, I’m fine.”

“Kind of too late for that…” I mumbled under my breath.

“Sorry everyone, I know this won't make up for it, but let’s all go out to eat tonight on me!” I heard Kirishima shout. Everyone cheered as we entered. As soon as we walked through the doors, we were greeted by a huge space.

“Each student dormitory holds one class. Girls are on the right, and boys are on the left. The entire first floor is a common area. That’s where you’ll find your kitchen, baths and laundry rooms.” Mr Aizawa told us.

“It’s so spacious in here… And the natural lighting makes it feel homier in here. They did a really good job, it’s hard to believe they completed these in three days…” I went off on my own mumbled tangent.

“There's even a courtyard!” Sero exclaimed, cutting me off.

“So spacious and new!” Mina continued my point from earlier with giggles.

“I’m living in a mansion…” Ochaco swayed a bit, crashing to the floor.

“Uraraka!” Iida exclaimed.

“Doth mine ears deceive me? Our baths… Are located in the common space?” And, of course, in rolls Mineta with the pervy comments to ruin everything… “Is this heaven?”

“They’re separated by gender, and you will behave yourself.” Mr Aizawa told him, a growling threat in his voice.

“Yes sir.” Mineta’s voice shook with terror from our teacher. Just then, the door opened and I watched as my Mom popped her head in, looking around.

“Oh wowza, they did a good job for you kids… Just as I’d expect from my old alma mater…” Everyone turned to look at my Mom, then looked at me, almost looking shocked. I didn't blame them either, I was basically a carbon copy of my Mom. My Quirk held the only real differences between us, honestly... I covered my mouth, trying not to snort.

“Hi, Ma.” I greeted her, trying to suppress giggles. She suddenly looked surprised, seeing my classmates stare at her, then at me, then back. Katsuki’s eyes were blown wide, and Shoto… Well, he looked just as shocked… And partly confused.

“Oh, Eraser, I’m sorry, did I come too early?” She asked, looking unsure now. Oh, my poor sweet mother… She hadn't chosen a bad outfit for a casual meeting: Some Mom jeans with a cute t-shirt that had a little Phoenix on the front pocket and her hair up in a messy half ponytail like Mama Inko. I remember when she had that shirt made… I used to have a matching one, but I had long since grown out of it…

“No, no, you’re just in time. Class, from time to time, you’re going to see Ace around. She’s going to be helping teach the Hero classes with All Might as well as checking in on you at the dorms from time to time. I expect you all to be on your best behavior at all times…”

“Come on, Eraser, it’s all right.” Mom interrupted with a small wink before turning to the class and bowing. “It’s nice to meet everyone, I’ll be around if anyone feels like they need to talk.” I watched as everyone else bowed back.

“It’s nice to meet you.” Everyone else replied. She gave me a wink, and I smiled in response. Things seemed like they were gonna be okay…

“You want to take it from here, Ace?” Mr Aizawa asked.

“Are you sure you don't mind?” Mom countered, sounding unsure.

“Yeah.” He then turned to the class. “There's something I have to wrap up before lessons begin again tomorrow, so Ace will be showing you the rest of the dormitories. Be on your best behavior or there will be hell to pay later.” Mr Aizawa threatened before looking at Yaomomo. “Actually, Yaoyorozu, if I could have a minute?” He motioned her over to the side as Mom led the way.

“The living quarters start on the next floor, a few boys and girls on each level. Everyone gets their own room, so hopefully you’ll be comfortable. You’ve got your own AC, toilets, fridges and closets.” Mom said.

“We have balconies?! Wow!” Izuku exclaimed, peering over the side of one of the balconies in one of the rooms. After her talk with Mr Aizawa, Yaomomo was inspecting the size of the room.

“This room is about the same size as my closet at home, but I’ll manage.” She sighed, and I suddenly got reminded that she came from a rich family.

“IT’S THE SIZE OF MY HOUSE!” Ochaco exclaimed again, nearly passing out.

“Uraraka!” Iida worriedly yelled again, but Mom caught her with a small laugh.

“It’s all right.” Mom helped her stand back upright before hopping onto her tiptoes, her hair swaying a bit. “Now, for your dorm assignments. On the second floor on the boys side, we have Mineta, Midoriya, Aoyama and Tokoyami. No one’s on the girls side on that floor.” Oh, thank you, Mr Aizawa. I thought, all of the girls sighing in relief while Mineta groaned in disappointment. “Next on the third floor. For the boys, we have: Koda, Kaminari, Iida and Ojiro. For the girls' side, Jiro’s across the hall from Koda and Hagakure's across the hall from Iida. On the fourth floor: Shoji, Kirishima and Bakugo on the boy's side with Uraraka across from Shoji and Ashido on the other end of the hallway. Which leaves the fifth floor with Sato, Todoroki and Sero on the boy's side. On the girls’ side, we have Asui across from Sero, Yagi across from Todoroki,” You better believe Mom gave me a bit of a smirk there… God, my face turned red that day, “And Yaoyorozu at the beginning of the hall. Now, your belongings were sent ahead, so they’re already in your rooms. Once you’re done unpacking and decorating, we have some free time and I want to see the rooms you come up with too, so come get me when you’re done. The best room will decide tomorrow night’s dinner while the losers have to help me cook.” Everyone got excited at this, even Todoroki looked a little excited. It was cute… Mom glanced around at everyone, smiling like she had when I was little. “Ready?” She bent a bit, holding her arms out. “Aaaaand…” Mom threw her arms up. “DECORATE!” At Mom’s final word, everybody raced for their new dorm rooms, giggles and excited talking happening. I could hear her giggles as I bolted for my room. I think she felt like she could be happy again, and it helped me a bit to see that. Once I got to my room, I turned on some Linkin Park as I decorated, bobbing my head to the beat.

I just ended up setting up my room like my room back home. I stuck some new led lights on the ceiling baseboards and decided to leave them on a calming light blue color, put my clothes away in the closet, out the books I had onto the bookshelves, and made my bed… The last things to be put in place were the pictures of Mom and Dad when they were teenagers, being goofy together, a picture of Mom and Dad with me in my Mom’s arms as a newborn, and another picture with me and Dad when I was two.

I smiled as I sat down on my bed, holding that picture in my hands. It had been taken a couple days before my Quirk had kicked in, my little hands touching my Dad’s face and looking so in awe of him. My hair had been straight up bright red at the time, just like my Mom’s, and my eyes were a deep emerald green. Mom had always said I’d looked so in wonder at everything around me every time I looked at the world, even after I’d gotten my Quirk. Dad looked young, but his blue eyes… They held a look of so much love as he looked at me, a bright smile on his face as he held me. My smile started to falter when I remembered that the Dad I’d had in that picture would never look like that again thanks to that fight when I was 9… I placed it on my desk, trying to shake off the feeling.

“Aw, I love that picture.” Mom’s voice spoke up as she watched me from the doorway. “You used to love when he would hold you and talk to you. That day was the first time you had touched his face like that while he was taking though.” She came to my side, sighing softly in happiness. “That was the day I knew that he was your Dad no matter what, I just had to get a picture to commemorate the occasion.” She gave me a side hug but a question entered my mind.

“Why didn't you ever confess to Dad?” I asked, looking up at her. “I mean, it’s obvious to me that he loved you back then, and still does.” She looked down at me for a moment, the look on her face turning serious before she had me sit down on my bed with her.

“It wasn't always that obvious to me, your Mama’s pretty oblivious after all…” I raised my eyebrows at the first statement to leave her mouth. Yeah, no shit. I thought. She gave me a look for the look I gave her. “But, at the time, I didn't think there was time for love, and then I ended up getting caught while undercover like a dumbass and it led to an abusive situation where I hadn't seen him for years… All before I had you.” I looked at her.

“What even happened? How did that even start?” I asked, my voice quiet. She sighed.

“I was a twenty-year-old sidekick when I first went in. When the Hero Public Safety Commission came to me, they made an offer I couldn't refuse. If I could infiltrate the growing League of Villains, find out their leader and destroy it from the inside, they would help me gain my own agency. Your Dad was against the idea, but I told him that I didn't want to be stuck as a sidekick forever. We got into an argument, and we parted ways. The mission was a special operation, very few knew of it. Operation Jackal’s Hyde. I would use new technology for the time to pose as a villain looking for a purpose, find a way into the League, deduce who the boss was and take him out. Getting in was the easy part. I was part of a team, but I wasn't let anywhere near their big boss. At least, not until after some tests.

“I had to fake a couple heroes' deaths just to show that I was worthy, and when all was said and done, the man I came across scared me to death. Admittedly, it had taken me 14 years at this point in time. He had been a patient man, biding his time and once I finally found out who he was and got to meet him… The meeting with All For One went too smoothly for my liking. I hate saying that he looked handsome, but that face hid a more sinister aura, one that my instincts told me to run from. But, I didn't listen, and it nearly cost me everything.” I watched as her hands clenched into fists. “As soon as I knew I was pregnant with you, I knew I had to get out… I had to get away, if not for my own life, it would be to protect you from the life he wanted for you. The most the Hero Public Safety Commission did was make sure I was arrested publicly as my villain persona and creating a bogus sentence that would allow me to return as my hero self again. But, All For One knew who I really was, and bid his time. When you were about a year old, I was forced to go back into it, and that was the same year I met Tenko…

“At first, the tasks All For One gave me was mostly healing the boy, with the healing Quirk he’d given me, trying to get him to open up to me. The poor thing was mostly quiet, barely speaking a word. When All For One wasn't around, I tried getting him to leave with me, to help him. But, I wasn't careful enough, and I ended up getting caught after another year of helping him and getting home to you and your Dad. All For One revealed my true identity to his cohorts after that year was up. I fought hard to get back home for good, to tell the Commission I was done, and I nearly ended up dead, passing out from losing too much blood. But, your Dad… Your Dad managed to find me and get me out of there. When I woke up, I was in the hospital, your Dad asleep in the chair next to my hospital bed, and tiny you curled up by my side.” She moved my hair from my face. “That was the day I knew I would never go back to him. I would do whatever it took to hide you from him.”

“So, Dad knew who my biological father was all along?” I asked.

“No, no, honey. I never told anyone who your biological father was, not even your Dad. All he knew was that I needed help. I was ready to beg for his forgiveness, but I’d barely gotten the words out before he had apologized to me and we decided to start over.” She told me. “The point being, abuse makes you question everything about yourself that you were once confident in… It takes years of patience and rebuilding trust to repair the damage once it’s made, especially for how long I was there. It’s not easy to be in love after something like that…” Mom paused as I looked down. “And judging by that look, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Is there something you didn't tell me?” She asked. I ended up telling her about Yugūre, our relationship and how things had ended…

My hands were shaking as I told her everything, just blurted everything out, how it started with a crush on him, how things were fine for a bit before he showed his true colors and the months I spent afraid of him went on forever until I finally had had enough and broke things off. “It’s my own fault for falling in love with someone that never cared, though.” I finally finished, feeling relieved to have it off my chest. When I finally had the courage to look up at her, her face was completely pale. She hugged me tight. I held back tears, trying not to cry.

“I’m so sorry, my Hino. None of that was your fault, and I’m so sorry I wasn't there to help you.” She gently cupped my face, wiping my tears away. “But, the important thing is that you’re safe now, away from him and All For One. You have me, your Dad, your friends… So many people here would fight to keep you safe, so you don't have to worry.” She hugged me again, but the only one thought crossed my mind.

I don’t want anyone else to be hurt because of me…

Ocean Heat for Hurricane Helene

When tropical weather watchers in the U.S. began tracking a disturbance brewing near the Yucatan Peninsula in mid-September, there were already worrisome signs in ocean temperature data for the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea.

Sea surface temperature and ocean heat content data—both derived from satellite observations—showed a tongue of unusually warm water extending north from the Caribbean Sea into the Gulf of Mexico toward the Florida Panhandle. It was a sign that the Loop Current—a variable current that shunts water from the Caribbean Sea into the Gulf of Mexico, around Florida, and up the eastern coast of the U.S.—had shed an eddy of warm water that was lingering uncomfortably close to U.S. shores.

Such features can make storms more dangerous because they provide a store of energy for passing hurricanes to draw from as they approach land, explained Scott Braun, a research meteorologist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. “These warm core eddies are a fairly persistent feature in the gulf and represent a deep layer of warm water that is much less likely to be disrupted by strong surface forcing by the hurricane winds,” he said.

The map above shows sea surface temperatures on September 23, based on data from the Multiscale Ultrahigh Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (MUR SST) project, a NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory effort that blends measurements of sea surface temperatures from multiple NASA, NOAA, and international satellites, as well as ship and buoy observations. Surface waters above 27.8 degrees Celsius (82 degrees Fahrenheit)—the temperature generally required to sustain and intensify hurricanes—are represented in red on the map. The tongue of warm water is also visible in maps of sea surface temperature anomalies on NASA’s State of the Ocean data viewer.

“A warm ocean isn’t everything when it comes to hurricanes, but it’s a lot,” noted University of Miami hurricane researcher Brian McNoldy as the storm intensified near the Yucatan Peninsula. Not only were much of the seas along the storm’s path up to a “toasty” 31°C, but the warm water ran deep, fueling the storm with what McNoldy described as “a source of high-octane fuel.”

But ocean heat is just one among several factors that together control whether a hurricane intensifies rapidly or fizzles. In Helene’s case, the presence of high vertical wind shear, a patch of dry air on one side of the storm, and that only part of the storm hit the warmest part of the eddy likely helped constrain Helene’s intensity somewhat as it approached Florida. “If the track had gone right along the axis of the eddy, intensification would likely have been even greater,” Braun added. The image above, acquired by the VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) sensor on the NOAA-20 satellite, shows Helene in the afternoon of September 25 as wind shear prevented the storm from developing a clear eye and becoming symmetrical.

Nevertheless, Helene underwent bouts of strengthening that met the official threshold for rapid intensification—an increase in the maximum sustained winds of a tropical cyclone of at least 30 knots (35 miles per hour) over a 24-hour period—as it neared Florida on September 25 and 26, fueling a major hurricane.

As Helene neared land on September 26, National Hurricane Center forecasters expected the storm to strike Florida’s Big Bend region as an unusually expansive, Category 3 or 4 storm that could deliver “catastrophic” storm surge and “life-threatening” flash and urban flooding. They warned that storm surges of 10 to 20 feet could swamp some areas, that hurricane-force winds could extend outward for up to 60 miles, and that total rainfall accumulations between 6 and 18 inches were possible. Since the storm was moving rapidly (more than 15 miles per hour), they cautioned that gusts could cause significant damage far inland, including portions of northern Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, after it made landfall.

On September 25 and 26, bands of rain influenced by the storm had started to hit the Southeast, well before the center of the storm got near the coast. “This rain is likely due to moisture moving over a frontal zone to the north of the storm,” Braun said. “This means that significant flooding may occur. All of this precursor rain is saturating the ground, so when the storm does make landfall, there will be little absorption of rain into the ground.”

NASA’s Disasters program has activated to support the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other agencies responding to the storm. The team will be posting maps and data products on its open-access mapping portal as new information becomes available about flooding, power outages, precipitation totals, and other topics.

People tracking sea surface temperatures or other aspects of the storm can do so using NASA’s State of the Ocean data browser, the near real-time data viewer from the Short-term Prediction Research and Transition (SPoRT) project at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory’s Tropical Cyclone Web. Daily sea surface temperature data from the SPoRT team is also used in NOAA’s nowCoast mapping platform, a tool designed for coastal communities and maritime users. It also powers part of McNoldy’s Tropical Atlantic Headquarters website, a data hub for meteorologists.

Can’t draw so I’ll just write

Reclaimed Helminth Technocyte Testing.

Test site: Orokin Tower ship designation EUPHRATES, geosynchronous high-orbit above Pluto.

Overseer: Lady Chamis Muderole, 2nd daughter of Muderole family.

Staff: 14 Archimedean scientists (9 Technocyte specialist, 5 general biologist), 26 Dax, 31 Bridge crew, 109 Service crew, 19 prisoners.

Mission details: Experimental use of reclaimed technocyte from feral samples. Former technocyte lab on surface of Pluto experienced un-planned release of specimens, resulting in colony infestation. Contamination spread prevented by quarantine, feral infested unable to survive Plutonian surface climate. Dax special force squadron collected samples before cauterization of compromised site. Collected “Post-Helminth” samples have been extensively tested and modified for attempted re-integration into Helminth project.

Lady Chamis Muderole Personal Notes: I am repeatedly cautioned by my Archimedeans that the post-Helminth strains are unstable and unpredictable and that results cannot be guaranteed. Executor Ballas has made it clear that more warframes are needed urgently, and that quantity supersedes quality. Batch three testing will begin in less than an hour. Archimedean Philias has been selected to fill one of the empty specimen tables after her unseemly outburst during my last lab visit. My Dax guard’s sword came within an inch of her neck when she grabbed my wrist. Speaking of the Dax, with only six of our seven tables filled I chose two of my Dax soldiers - Imugi and Pliamet, two of my best - and gave them a simple command. Fight to the death, the survivor gets the honor of becoming a warframe. Pliamet Dax began to speak, I did not bother to heed his words but I believe he intended to disregard my orders. Imugi Dax had no such compunctions. His sword struck true in the blink of an eye, and Pliamet’s head tumbled to the ground. With Archimedean Philias and Imugi Dax filling the last of the seven specimen tables we can begin as soon as the injectors are loaded. To stifle Philias’ incessant screaming I instructed my Dax to gag her with one of my golden bracelets. It did so amuse me how perfectly that heavy golden bead fit in her whimpering mouth.

Post-Helminth Batch 3 test results

Specimen 1: Total failure, tagged for incineration. What a mess. It was sickening to behold. Specimen 1 (John Doe, convicted of heresy) was an immediate failure. The flesh at the injection site began to boil immediately, deforming into a raspberry-like mass of tumors that hung from naked bone. The subject’s body continued to degrade until catastrophic failure of multiple organs. What’s left of him wouldn’t even look like it had ever been human if it weren’t for the bloody skull visible on the left side of what was once his head. The right side of his body was less affected, as he died before the infestation could spread thoroughly throughout. Initial prognosis for failure is over-mutation of technocyte sample. No further testing is required, the sample will be atomized.

Specimen 2: Success. Unique phenotype, tagged for further study. I had high hopes for this specimen (Son Nguyen; convicted of aiding and abetting rebel terrorists) and I was not disappointed. The Archimedeans are right, the helminth strain does more with what’s inside a person than their flesh alone. His flesh changed rapidly, the technocyte covering his arms, legs, and head with a smooth shell of gleaming steel. Across his round iron carapace a multitude of pockmarks emerged, a pattern of sunken recesses that glow with unnatural blue light, a long thin needle rising from the very middle of each one. These pocks and needles emit a tingling electric hum. He will need to be inspected by experts on sacred Lua to determine if he is a new type, or a variation of the golem they call Volt.

Specimen 3: Final-stage failure, tagged for autopsy. Specimen 3 (Dorian Mastiff; convicted of armed assault, murder of the first & second degree, and three other crimes) responded well to initial injection. Very little screaming. Plate-like extrusions of dull gray metal emerged across his skin, dermis underwent full replacement. Musculoskeletal augmentation appears successful, pending autopsy report. However, after protracted convulsions the subject’s belly collapsed inwards and then ripped open, spilling pink, red, orange and yellow entrails across the table and floor while the subject’s vitals flatlined. Cause of failure to be determined during autopsy.

Specimens 4 & 5: Unqualified success, recommended for immediate deployment. I had no particular expectations for our last two criminal specimens (Torres & Sia Fallon; convicted of possession of illegal firearms and conspiracy to commit treason) and so I was pleasantly surprised by the results. It all began with the usual howling and thrashing as bone reshapes and skin turns inside out but imagine my shock when each of the two managed to wrest an arm free of the clamps, only so they could hold each others hand as they endured holy metamorphosis. Beautiful to behold, as the shapes of their bodies deformed into haunting curves bulbous and hollow, hand in hand as they sang into the walls of the transmogrification lab. Seeing them now I nearly feel a tear in my eye, the shapes of their curves, their peaks and valleys seem perfect to fit against each other like the pieces of a puzzle. Two halves of a whole; balancing each other in both shape and color. If Executor Ballas allows, I would very much like to keep these two for myself.

Specimen 6: Success. Unique phenotype, tagged for further study. Our Archimedeans are chosen for the prowess of their minds, not for their ability to withstand even the slightest amount of pain. With the golden ball from my bracelet muffling her screams Archimedean Philias squealed and whimpered throughout the entire process. If I had not gagged her I’m sure her screaming would have drowned out all other noise in the room. And oh how I chuckled when I saw that gleaming golden bead trapped permanently in the angular beak that had replaced Philias’ mouth, clenched and frozen. A precious little momento of her final moments as a human being. Oh, I do adore her now. How her research vestments gave way to streaming silken ribbons, how her features were completely hidden by the shining metal mask that grew from her skull. She is so beautiful now, and so quiet. I think I wish I could keep her most of all. No telling what powers this new form of yellow gold and red silk could possibly possess, but that is what tests are for. I wish I could see that perfectly chiseled beak of hers clutching that golden ball every day.

Specimen 7: Unqualified success, recommended for immediate deployment. (Imugi Dax, volunteered) In retrospect, I admit that subjecting Archimedean Philias to the transformation was impulsive and emotional, and doing the same to Imugi Dax was pure whimsy. The only things aboard this ship that are allowed to second-guess me are myself and my cephalon. I won’t express regret for my decision, but I will admit its shortsightedness. With that said, I now ask myself why we do not use the Dax soldiers for more of our warframe projects. The technocyte grafts with their flesh and bone so easily, Imugi never once screamed. While the others howled, cried, and gurgled, Imugi was silent as stone. The nanomachines rushed through his veins and arteries, turning his whole body a noble blue. How calmly his shape changed. The quiet re-ordering of bone and muscle. Thick yet slender, powerful yet elegant, the stately helmet of the Dax fusing to his skull to give him a most commanding silhouette... and that beautiful slate blue all over him accented by dots and streaks of noble jade glow. A perfect warframe.

Additional notes: We are squandering a great deal of potential using criminals as our primary test subjects for the Warframe Project. The Helminth technocyte is best when it has good material to work with: individuals of exceptional quality. Results from tests conducted on subjects with superior skills, knowledge, and physical condition like the Dax have such a high success rate while wasting test batches of degenerates and reprobates leaves me with tables full of mangled corpses. The criminal fodder is much more suited for use in controlled mass-production cloning of archetypes. This research is no longer just my assignment. It is my passion. It is my art. We should not be wasting time and resources on reclaiming technocyte clay from the feral mud, we should be culturing strains of the finest porcelain for our masterpieces!
