currently rubbing my clit through my panties while thinking about humping your leg. you're fully dressed, sitting on the couch with a glass of whiskey in your hand. maybe you're watching some porn, half-hard in your pants, just not in the mood yet to jerk off in my face. you're in no rush though, you can have that sweet satisfying orgasm whenever you want. i am naked, or maybe wearing the see-through lingerie you like. my tongue is out like you wanted, because you love seeing me drool on my tits. makes me look dumb. furiously, i am grinding my cunt against your leg. desperately moving forward, pressing my pussy against your leg, cunt drool slowly soaking your good work pants. you barely look at me, eyes focused on the screen. i am panting and moaning and begging, only with my eyes though because dumb sluts like me aren't supposed to talk. the friction is never enough to get me close to the orgasm i crave. it leaves me dangling somewhere near the edge, no matter how hard i hump. tears of frustration eventually mix with my drool. i am so desperate, i want to cum so bad. i want to touch my burning clit and explode all over my fingers. your hand grabs a fistful of your hair, and you pull my head forward. sometime in my last few minutes of frantically humping, you must have pulled out your cock, so now you're forcing my mouth onto it. it's buried deep in my throat now, and i can't breathe. my clit pulses, my eyes close, i focus on your cock. you groan quietly, already close. i try to swirl my tongue like i know you like. you shoot your cum, and i swallow. you don't let me up until you're soft. i feel used and horny and needy and pathetic. then you tell me to stop humping and i force myself to pull away from your leg. i curl up on the blanket at your feet, where i belong.

I love your Au so much! I feel so bad to the y/n so much..so I got a idea came out of my mind while I listened to silly billy(a dang popular fnf song) and it remind me of that au of if y/n get heavily tired of been ignored just because of they past..So if y/n became a killer like the other, they would sing the line of the silly billy song( IM SO SORRY IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND ENGLISH ISBT NY FIRST LANGUAGE AND IT WAS THE IDEA I HAVE-)
Tumblr media
Proud of me
Silly Billy
WARNINGS: BLOOD, VIOLENCE, SLIGHT GORE, READ AT YOUR OWN RISKS!
Note: "I'll make— you say— how proud you are of me."
Tumblr media
It wasn't intended, really. You've never thought the hatred could get this bad. How? Why? Taph..
Did they lied to him? Did they influenced him?
You choked on your tears, gripping the picture frame. It hurts so much to know no one trusted you anymore, not even Taph.
The sound of your shuddering breathing and sobs filled the silence in the cabin. You were moved by Shedletsky to another cabin, furthest from the other, saying it was necessary. But seeing as how close it is to the path leading to where the killer's hideout was, worried you.
Though he insisted on you staying there, alone. Taph were previously your cabin-mates. Guess now he isn't seeing as he moved his belongings into Dusekkar's cabin before you were moved.
Did you do something? What wrong did you do? You can't remember.
Alone. Everytime. Every second. Every hour. Every day. Every. Ticking. Time.
Are they not convinced enough you've changed?
You still stay friendly with them despite everything.
You stare at the familiar panel in front of you, seeing the screen you vouch to never touch ever again.
The time is almost over. It's almost the end time.
You heard a scream, one that's familiar to Dussekkar's voice. You got up, hiding the panel away from everyone, and left the hill.
Running towards the voice you saw both Dussekkar and Guest limping, Chance's gun exploded on him in an attempt to save Dusekkar from Jason.
Taking out your gun, you shoot it at Jason. It hits, stunning him. Giving both Dussekkar and Guest to escape, without even a thanks from either one.
Are you that bad? They never acknowledge you anymore. Not even Him. Taph.
You snapped back into reality hearing Chance pained groans. Your eyes widen as he runs up to you and shoves you behind them towards the killer
Then you felt it. The machete hitting your neck. Scar so deep it bleeds a river, unfortunately not enough to end you from the pain.
You felt him pull the machete back, resuming chase on Chance who's low. You choked, grasping at the wound on your neck.
Falling to the ground with sob you can't even get out of your mouth. The pain felt like it was burning, it's agonizing.
You heard another scream. Shouting out Taph's name. No.
He's in danger, get up. GET UP!
You can't, despite you trying. You can't. You're close to death, yet seems like The Spectre didn't want you to.
You squint your eyes, remembering something. You held back the pain, clenching your teeth.
The second tick, 10 seconds.
You muster up all your energy, a panel opened up in front of you.
You can't give up.
5 seconds.
You pulled yourself towards the panel. Reaching a hand out to click that one button.
3
You hissed, feeling the pain sharpened.
2
You're good enough! You're enough! You'll prove them!
1
I'll make them proud of me.
Builderman stares at the timer, confused on why it restarted. He turns to the other who looks confused as well.
Is there a continuous round? Last time he check there's none. New event?
He turns to Shedletsky and Guest, both staring out at the area near the mansion. Everyone is here, except Two time. Said they'll go check the whole map to see what's going on.
SNAP—
Builderman, Shedletsky, and Guest turn their attention to the snapping noise. It sounds so familiar— Is it c00lkid?
There they stood, over Two time's mangled body.
Is that— [Name]?
"Am I strong enough? Did I prove enough to be better!? Please say you're proud of me!"
They stare at you, eyes widen. Shedletsky took out his sword, Guest ready himself. Builderman, oh.
He's having a flashback. He knows what your capabilities are.
I'm sorry.

Secret glances pt 3 - chwe hansol
wc: 1.7k+
pairing : 14thmember!reader x bf!vernon
Idol au
14th member fic
warning: cursing
guide for requesting on my page [17] check the (pink highlighted) text to see my yes and no's
PART 1 & 2 ( SG pt1 || SG pt2 )
A/N : another technical difficulties, so no pictures once again lmao
Tumblr media
Dating Vernon feels strangely natural. Like you have been orbiting around each other for years and only now found the courage to close the distance.
It's not flashy. It's not dramatic. It's simple. Quiet. Easy.
Late-night talks in the studio that turn into falling asleep side by side.
Lingering glances across dance practice rooms that last a second longer than they should.
Texts sent from opposite sides of a crowded room, just to say I see you.
No one suspects anything.
You are both good at this. Years of hiding your crushes from each other made you experts at subtlety. You laugh when you are supposed to laugh, you roll your eyes at him when the cameras are on you, you joke and bicker like friends. You blend right in.
If anything, it feels safer to love him in the spaces between the attention. In stolen moments. In the looks that say everything without needing a word.
The others are completely oblivious.
Hoshi still drags Vernon away to play video games at the dorm without noticing the way Vernon glances back at you. Seungcheol still nags you both about being late to practice, completely missing the small smiles you exchange behind his back. Even Seungkwan, who usually catches every little thing, seems clueless.
It feels like you might actually get away with it. Like you and Vernon can live in this little hidden world you have built, just for the two of you.
Until Jeonghan ruins everything.
It happens on a random Sunday afternoon. Half the group is sprawled in the dorm’s living room, half-asleep and half-watching some drama on TV. You and Vernon slip away under the excuse of getting snacks from the kitchen. No one questions it. No one even looks up.
The kitchen is empty. You lean back against the counter, popping a grape into your mouth. Vernon wanders over, plucks one from the bowl, and pops it into his mouth too, grinning.
You poke him in the chest lightly. "Copycat."
He smiles lazily and steps closer. Too close. You feel your breath hitch in your throat.
"You like it," he says softly.
You do. You really, really do.
Before you can think twice, he leans in and kisses you. It is soft at first, just a gentle press of lips that makes your whole body warm. You sigh against his mouth, tilting your head slightly to kiss him deeper. His hand slides to your waist, fingers curling there like he does not want to let go.
You're so lost in him that you do not hear the footsteps until it is too late.
"What the shit?"
You break apart so fast you nearly smack foreheads. Vernon stumbles back. You whirl around and find Jeonghan standing there, a bag of chips halfway to his mouth, looking way too pleased with himself.
"No way," Jeonghan says, gleefully. "No freaking way."
"Jeonghan, please," you beg, already feeling the doom settling in your chest.
He drops the chips on the counter dramatically like he is about to perform Shakespeare.
"You think you can kiss in the kitchen where food is sacred and get away with it?"
"Hyung, please," Vernon says, voice cracking slightly.
Jeonghan just points at you both, eyes wide and evil.
"I am telling. I am telling everyone. Right now."
You lunge at him but he ducks away with the speed of a man who has lived purely to cause chaos.
You hear him yell even before he rounds the corner.
"GUYS! GUESS WHOS MAKING OUT IN THE KITCHEN RIGHT NOW!"
The dorm explodes.
"What?! Who?!" Seungkwan shrieks loud enough to pierce the heavens.
"Is it Mingyu again?" Soonyoung yells.
"Someone's kissing Mingyu in the kitchen?" Dino asks, scandalized.
You slap a hand over your face and groan. You hear footsteps pounding toward you. The members round the corner like a pack of wild animals, eyes wide, looking ready to witness a crime scene.
Instead, they find you and Vernon standing stiffly side by side, looking like two kids caught stealing from the cookie jar.
There is a beat of silence.
Then chaos.
"YOU AND VERNON?!" Seungkwan screams. He looks personally betrayed. "I KNEW IT. I KNEW I FELT THE VIBES, YUP YUP YUP."
"Bitch no you didn't, " hoshi says half-jokingly. "You thought Vernon liked Minghao last week."
"Love is complicated," Seungkwan huffs.
"WAIT, HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON?" Mingyu bellows.
You shrink under the pressure of twelve pairs of eyes drilling into your soul. Vernon, to his credit, looks totally chill. Hands in his pockets. Like he did not just get caught mid-makeout.
"A while," Vernon says simply.
"A WHILE?!" Dino screeches. "DEFINING A WHILE WOULD BE GREAT."
"Since Green Room days," Jeonghan says proudly, like he discovered a rare species.
"You're fuckin lying," dokyeom deadpans. "There is no way they've been hiding this from us since Green Room days. I would've known."
"You dont even know when your own birthday is," Seungkwan snaps.
Joshua raises a hand gently. "So are you guys, like, serious? Or was that a one-time kitchen kiss fueled by the power of grapes?"
You and Vernon exchange a look. Vernon smiles.
"Serious," he says.
The room goes weirdly soft for a second.
"Aww," Mingyu says, sounding a little too touched. "My babies grew up."
"Are we having a wedding?" Hoshi gasps. "Can I be the flower boy?"
"Absolutely not," Woozi says.
"I'm gonna cry," Seungkwan wails dramatically, clutching his chest. "I had no idea true love was blossoming right under my nose. I am so proud of you both. And so betrayed."
You press your palms to your cheeks, burning up.
"This is literally the worst day of my life," you mumble.
"You say that," Jeonghan says, smirking, "but it is only going to get worse. Hope you are ready for an endless amount of jokes for the rest of your life."
He is not joking.
For the next week, you cannot sit next to Vernon without someone dramatically gasping.
Every time Vernon hands you something, Minghao solemnly whispers, "A love offering."
If Vernon so much as glances at you during practice, Seungkwan fake sobs into his hoodie.
During one interview, when the host asks about teamwork, Jeonghan coughs and says loudly, "Well, two of us are working very closely these days."
You and Vernon exchange exhausted, fond looks across the chaos.
You guess hiding was easy. But being in love out loud?
That is a different kind of chaos entirely.
And you wouldn't trade it for the world.

Jude Jazza - The Abstinent Beast Devours Love
*Fan translation for funsies! IP owned by Cybird, translations are my own and may be inaccurate. 18+ MDNI. See About page for more info.*
Tumblr media
:readmore:
The products we handled at Raven became very popular, and we were very busy traveling here and there.
When things finally settled down, I found myself on the bed with him holding me from behind.
But…
(This is no good, this is just not enough Jude for me...)
Maybe it's because I haven't had any contact with him in two weeks, but I can't control my desire and I fidget on the bed.
Jude
“What the hell are ya doing?”
Neema
"Um...”
(I'm sure I'll get teased if I say there isn’t enough Jude…)
I don't want to be teased, but I want to do it. I started thinking about how to set the mood.
Neema
"Jude-"
Jude
"Huh?...Hmm..."
She turned her body around and captured his lips, carrying out her plan to get him in the mood. Her kisses, pecking at him like a little bird, gradually deepened, and she clung to his neck as her tongue met his.
But Jude pulled his lips away.
Jude
"Go to sleep."
Neema
"Huh?"
He pulled the cushion closer and got into a sleeping position.
(…If it comes to this,)
I straddle him as he lies down and shower him with kisses. Then I grabbed his right hand and bit his long fingers sweetly. Jude's eyes widened as he exhaled in annoyance.
Jude
“Do ya really wanna?"
I kiss his fingers and reply.
Neema
“Yes, I do."
Jude
“…I’ve got yer word on that.”
Neema
“Hmm? Whoa!”
A moment later, my vision flips and I am pushed down by him.
Jude
“Ya’ve been sleeping like a baby every night.”
Jude
Just when I thought I had finally settled down, ya come up to me with a dirty look on yer face and ask me out. It really pisses me off.
He bit me on the neck, and my body trembled with a pain stronger than usual. 
I was staring into his feverish eyes, and I almost got scared even though I had invited him to do it.
(When Jude stares at me with those eyes, it is usually when he is going to do something terrible to me...) 
As I had expected, my clothes are torn off in an instant and he twisted the tips of my breasts before I had time to resist.
Neema
"Hiiah."
As I writhed in pain and pleasure, one of his hands reached between my legs, covering the area that was starting to get wet, and began to poke the area just above with his thumb.
Neema
"Ah, wait!”
Jude
"I ain’t gonna wait."
He rubbed hard, and his index finger was buried in the nectar that was overflowing from inside.
I was in a daze from the ecstasy I hadn't felt in a long time, but the attack that followed was much more intimidating than usual.
Neema
"Oh, Jude!”
I'm being stirred and crushed, and I feel like I'm going to explode with pleasure. But, his movements are stopped so many times just before I reach my peak, and I feel an unbearable ache.
Neema
"Why..."
Jude
"Why? Ain’t it obvious?”
As I unconsciously shook my hips and rubbed him against my sweet spot, Jude pulled out his finger and replaced it with something hot.
Tumblr media
Jude
"Gonna make you cum right here!"
Neema
"Ahhh!"
In an instant, a shock like a bolt of lightning ran through me from my toes to the top of my head.
With just one thrust, everything went white before my eyes, and he moved his hips violently, not caring that I was already convulsing around him.
Neema
“Wait, wait, ahh!”
The sound of his thrusting was too rough, but my body was delighted for the first time so long that I accepted it.
(It wasn't supposed to be like this…)
I was just supposed to spend a sweet and happy evening with him, but this made me feel like an animal.
The moment he stopped moving and his heat was removed from inside me, I tried to escape to the top of the bed, but he quickly filled me again and I collapsed onto the sheets.
Neema
“Ahh!”
Jude
“Whatcha running away for? Ya asked me for this yerself." 
I turned around fearfully at the voice that came from above. Jude bit my shoulder with a twisted smile.
Tumblr media
Jude
"Brace yerself, princess."
That day, I was pawed, teased, and tortured by a beast with amethyst eyes. I was devoured completely, body and soul.

My men. My beautiful, perfect, wonderful men. I love them so much I feel like I am actually going to explode into glitter. My babies. My sweethearts. My reasons to wake up and start screaming happily every morning.
Tumblr media
Self shipping is literally my entire life. I grew up a hopeless romantic, daydreaming about true love while being a massive loser nobody wanted to date or even be friends with. It hurt. A lot. So little me decided if nobody in real life wanted me, I would just make up a fictional world with characters who did. I wrote stories, I daydreamed, I made whole worlds where I was loved so much it was stupid. It started as a game when I was five, and by twelve it was the only thing keeping me afloat. Somewhere along the way it stopped being survival. It just became… life. And honestly, it is a pretty good life.
I do not need a real life romance when I have Sanji, my sweet husband. And Leorio, my loud passionate idiot who I love so much. And Goemon, my stoic swordsman who makes my heart do little cartwheels. I love Sanji’s sappy romantic soul. I love Leorio’s screaming meltdowns. I love Goemon’s brooding anime man energy. I am so grateful they are mine. I am so lucky. I am so annoying about it and I do not care.
Romance is everything to me. Being cringe is everything to me. Loving my men loudly is everything to me. Thank you for listening to my embarrassing little TED Talk.

Hello! I was wondering if I could get a crk matchup please? I understand if it's not possible, thank you for your time
She/her, Gemini, Intp, 5w4
Asexual/heteromantic
Chaotic Good
Appearance: 164cm. Brown wavy hair, dark Brown eyes. Curvy body I guess? I'm pale with visible beauty marks like on my lips. I wear glasses/sunglasses. I've been described as cute and a tease because I always bite my lips out of habit lol. I often have a tired/annoyed expression or a smile. I wear comfy clothes and even pj outside. Or cliché villain clothes, no in between. I try to wear gloves to stop myself from bitting my nails. I guess I am slightly overweight? 80kg due to medical reasons and a weird metabolism, plus I have heavy bones
About me:
I appear as cold and very sarcastic. But I can be charismatic when I want. I'm always polite unless I dislike you (you'll know it because I become passive agressive). How I act depends on how you act with me, unless I'm in a bad mood. In that case I isolate to not be too mean. I act playful around my friends and is known for sometimes playing with hearts (I'm oblivious to it). I'm petty and can go very far out of spite or vengeance. I curse a lot and will call you out on your bullshit with no issue no matter who you are. Did I loose people over this? Yes. Some people who never spoke to me often think that I'm cold, distant and bossy. Then when they speak with me they think I'm bossy but I swear I don't mean to. Just explain what you want or I'll go with what I want
I'm moody and not a morning person AT ALL. I'm brutally honest and it affected some friendships because people sometimes won't dare to approach me. I'm also socially obvious to a lot of things. I'm very curious and have a short attention span.
Getting along with me is easy peasy. As long as you're not a hypocrite we will get along. Now getting to know me is....nearly impossible. No friend of mine has managed to make me spill my problems even though they share theirs and I help them out. Even when I think I am sharing I am apparently not? My trust issues issues are too important for that lol. I don't open up and bottle my feelings all the time till I shut down or explode. I isolate a lot when I have problems or I'm just thinking (I love daydreaming). I'm rebellious but also a smooth talker. My friends know I have good intentions and would never wrong an innocent person. I'm the smart but reckless friend cuz I'll always hype up bad ideas for fun. I can be a bit naïve, I often assume that people don’t have a hidden agenda and it caused me problems in the past because spoiler alert they do! Now we all have some kind of hidden agenda but if I am in your team and you try to pull one over me…No mercy. I have morbid curiosity and shared dubious experimental ideas....Yes I am the type that can eat and look at a crime scene. I'm more logical than emotional. I'm ambitious and can't stand my own failure. But I'm also lazy and a procrastinator which is a terrible combo. I'm always willing to debate and learn new things because knowledge is very important to me. I'm creative and innovative, I know when to get to business. I'm very competitive and try to hide it. Yeah I have an ego, so what? if you don't have a solid argument with me, I'll destroy you.
Despite that, I joke a lot and never take anything seriously. It happens that I underestimate people. I'm a big tease and love to rile up people and see them get angry. I subtly insult people when they piss me off. I'm also quite the procrastinator....but I make up for it with luck so it rarely shows.
Because of that, I get very lonely and I'm misunderstood. I can handle being alone quite well since most of my friends betrayed me. Including a very close one who encouraged me to open up for years...and then they wonder why I have trust issues (if you want to confess just do it why wait years and then be like I don’t believe in boy girls friendships). I don't recognize my own feelings and mask that pretty well as it fools everyone. I don't consider myself to be a good person for some reasons. I envy easily and get annoyed easily because I want to succeed above all lol. Oh and I love money. I like gifting my friends and receiving gifts.
Hobbies:
Reading (mystery, thriller, fantasy), true crime, video games, drawing, baking (I’m quite good at it. It started mostly by being non satisfied over local bakeries qualities or prices), fighting sports (sparing and shooting), learning, daydreaming. I love space and mad scientists stories. My aesthetic is definitely related to those subjects as well as the sea and stars.I used to write poetry. I enjoy gacha games…just for the gamba part and lore. I’m quite lucky in everyday aspects…and often get free goodies where I go.
Likes:
Cats, sweet foods, plushies, hoodies, video games, gossip (putting those reddit stories in the background), cheese, red flags, puzzles, true crime, juicy parts of history, mythology, sleeping or just lying in bed. I lowkey likes organizing BUT my room is very messy
Dislikes:
I am thalassophobic. I don’t like dogs, crowded places, someone that’s forceful, bullying, bugs, foods that have a lot of oily sauce…and if it’s deep fried but has too much oil. Being bored.
I hate owing something to someone. While yes I deal around and ask for favors I always repay in equal or more value. I’ll scam you if you scam me tho….I always have receipts or pictures
In a relationship:
I'm the chillest person. I don't get jealous or clingy. You can do whatever you want. I'm always here to give you advices because helping you out, giving you my time and giving you gifts is my love langage. It bothered my last boyfriend because he thought I wasn't emotionally present and isolated a lot (He knew what he was getting into. Then He cheated). I spoil my partners in little gifts or videos that remind me of them/us. I’m a bit of a foodie but is quite annoying in it. Heck I picked up baking cuz the nearby bakeries were too sweet.
I love cuddles but I'll take time to accept physical touch. I enjoy a partner that can keep up with me and be patient and honest because I value honesty in their feelings. I don’t care if they hide things/lie, we all do, as long as it’s not gonna hurt me or us in the long run. Yes I like red flags and a friend called me a beige flag whatever it means. I enjoy stealing clothes and would prefer a taller partner. Not gonna lie…a little possessive/protective is cute. Make me feel wanted.
I also love receiving gifts because uh...I grew up with them validating love. I hate cowardly people. I don't fall first and don't make the first move. Worse, there’s a high chance I say yes but will give it a period to see if I can develop feelings. I will be honest about my partner over this. I enjoy someone smart. I don't care if street or academic. I'm more an academic gifted kid who's trying to learn something other than that. Heck I can get in a stranger car and my mindset is if they try something I'll strangle them. Or if they try to rob me I'll throw them into a car. No mercy
Also, due to exes I’d rather have someone taller than me. Idk how this works in crk so ignore it. I'm not gonna analyze a cookie height
I speak Arabic, French and English. I'm an only child.
Merci!
I match you with...
Tumblr media
Shadow Milk!
As you appear to be cold and sarcastic, Shadow Milk takes it as a challenge. So it shocks him when you turn out to be the complete opposite. (Not that he lets you realise it.)
Absolutely loves that you are petty, he is sometimes tempted (and gives in plenty of times) to see how petty you can become, and he will not stop.
While he loves messing with you, he’ll wake you up and leave you to properly wake up. That’s something he has learnt not to mess with.
Constantly watching you when you two are out, loves seeing what catches your attention and just follows you around, unless it’s dangerous.
He notices how hard it is to actually know you, he can’t really complain though, he’s the same.
When it comes to physical touch he will whine about it but don’t take it to heart, he’ll be excited and all over you when you're open to cuddles.
So glad you love receiving gifts because that's his main love language, wherever he goes he’ll bring something back for you.

GUYS. GUYSSSS. this is not a drill. after fighting for my life against ao3’s formatting system like it personally wronged me, i finally posted Collide on ao3.
COLLIDE; ellie williams (86932 words) by Valeisaslut

Rockstar!Ellie Williams x Popstar!Reader 𖥔 ݁ ˖ A pop princess on the rise. A rockstar on the edge of collapse. Your world is all polish and perfection, hers is chaos and self-destruction. You and Ellie Williams were never meant to cross paths. But when the industry sees an opportunity, it spins a story neither of you can escape: a headline-making, career-saving fake relationship. You need edge. She needs damage control. It should be simple—play the part, sell the history, survive each other. But Ellie is unpredictable, fame is unforgiving, and somewhere between staged appearances and real fights, the harder it is to tell where the act ends and something real begins. And in a world where everything is manufactured, the most dangerous thing you can do is feel. 𖥔 ݁ ˖ Follow me on tumblr: @valeisaslut
i’m gonna be so real with y’all… i had no idea what i was doing. NONE. ao3 is like a beautiful but extremely complicated spaceship. i was pressing buttons like i was diffusing a bomb. i almost published it with the tags “help” and “what am i doing” by accident.
but!!! i somehow pulled it together!!! SO. if you wanna go show Collide some love over there — leave a comment, kudos, or just yell into the void about your feelings — i would literally sob and kiss your forehead. i’m so proud of this story and of this little chaotic fandom we’ve built here, and seeing it get some love on ao3 too would make my heart explode (in the good way, not the medical emergency way).
thank you for always being so insanely kind and supportive 🥹💘 now go forth and wreak havoc in the comment section like the little menace army you are. i love you.
(also if you see any mistakes… pretend you didn’t xoxo)

Hi! Could I request 3 and 25 with Shu, please? Thank you so much!! I really enjoy your writing!!
≫ A/N: Hey, of course :) I decided to combine the two of them, because somehow it just seemed right? I hope that's okay :)
CW: female reader, smut after angst, reader gets chased by a gang that has ill intentions (mentions of them wanting to rape you), Shu takes care of them and it gets gory, Shu takes you to his home afterwards, where he comforts you. Shu is a bit worried and depressed about losing you. You eventually end up in his bed, where you give him your very first time, even though that part is smutty, it's so sweet it gives me diabetes as I'm writing it.
Art credits.

My world would be empty without you
It was late at night when you were walking home after you had been at a club with your friends. You were all dolled up, and you did feel a bit exposed, but not too bad. At least, not so far. You had assured your friends it would be fine since the walk to your house wasn't that far. This part of town could be dangerous for women who walked home alone, but you had never been harassed before. Until today.
You walked past an alleyway where a group of men were hanging out. They craned their heads to look at you and catcalled you to hell and back. But then, anxiety rose in you even more when you noticed they started following you. You tried to take a massive detour to your house to hopefully shake them off, but they kept following you. The panic increased when a few of them had gotten even closer to you, making comments about how "you're such a hot piece of ass" and "they would rape you until you bled". In your panic, you decided to call your boyfriend, Shu.
"Shu... I am being followed by a group of men. And they don't mean well in the slightest," you said as your voice hitched, trying to hold back tears of anxiety. "I'll be right there. Don't worry, love, I'll take care of it," your boyfriend replied, and then he hung up. You looked at your phone in confusion, but you knew he would be there in a flash. And you were right. After just a tiny bit more walking, Shu suddenly teleported next to you, kind of catching you off guard, but when you saw it was him, relief instantly washed over you.
The two of you stood still and turned around. The men just looked at Shu like some sort of god had descended upon them, but at the same time, they knew it wasn't in their favour. Shu's beautiful purple eyes started to glow as his flames appeared behind him. Two of the men swallowed with difficulty and were getting ready to run. But Shu wasn't going to let them go anywhere.
"So... You think you can harass my girl, hm? Tell you what, you caught me in a bad mood. You are not getting out of here alive," your boyfriend said as he raised one hand. It was so strange to see your usually quiet and composed boyfriend like this, but you meant the world to him, and he wasn't going to let these guys get away with it. One of the guys turned around to start running, but with his raised hand, Shu pulled him back towards himself and threw him against a wall nearby with so much force that the dude pretty much exploded. The others had a feeling they wouldn't survive this, but they still ran towards Shu to try and take him down. Shu raised his hands once more and aimed at one of the men, twisting them to snap the man's neck. He threw one of the men up so high and then let him fall to the ground, dying on impact when he hit the streets below. Only one more man left, and he stood no chance. Shu moved him closer, and, balling his fist, the guy's head exploded.
You were both covered in blood, and the scene before you was so grotesque that you were close to passing out. Shu snapped his fingers, and all the blood and bodies were gone, as if nothing had ever happened. He then turned around to face you and wrapped his arms around you.
"I'm sorry you had to see that, my love. I just get really angry when people mess with you. I'm sorry I lost my cool because of it," the sorcerer said with an apologetic smile as he kissed the tip of your nose. You sniffled into his shoulder, not sure if it was all the built-up tension leaving you, the fact that your boyfriend would go to such lengths for you, or both. "I don't feel safe going home now... Can I... Can I sleep at your place tonight?" you asked as you wiped the tears from your eyes. "Of course, my love. Take my hand. I will take us home," your boyfriend replied. You did as he asked, and when you did, he teleported both of you over to his house.
The two of you ended up in his living room, on the couch. Shu went to get you some water as you sat there on the couch, trying to process everything that had just happened. You had never seen Shu so... Unhinged before. But you felt honoured that you meant so much to him that he would literally kill anyone who would even want to hurt you in any way, shape or form. Shu came back with the water and sat down next to you after he had handed it to you. You downed it all in one go, and the two of you just sat there in awkward silence for a little bit. You couldn't believe that the sorcerer did all of that, but when you were about to say something about it, your boyfriend spoke up.
"I don't know what came over me. Seeing you in danger, I just got so angry... I'm normally not like this at all. But I can't have you hurt. You mean the world to me, and seeing you get hurt and not doing anything about it would absolutely kill me..." your boyfriend said as he was holding back tears, the thoughts of losing you plaguing his mind. "Maybe we should go to bed. I think this is enough excitement for one evening..." you said, trying to lighten the mood. Your boyfriend hummed in response, and the both of you headed up the stairs. You threw off your dress as you borrowed one of Shu's shirts to sleep in. You washed the makeup off your face, and you lay down next to him. Your boyfriend was staring at the ceiling, hands folded under his head, the thoughts of seeing you hurt not leaving him anytime soon. You cuddled up to your boyfriend, putting your head on his chest as you left a kiss on it.
"I admit, it was all a bit scary. But really, thank you. Thank you for protecting me. I have no idea what would have happened if you weren't there, but I know it would have been much more traumatising than seeing you absolutely slaughter those guys," you said, leaving another kiss on his chest before burying your face in his neck to smell his scent. Musky, calming, and comforting. Eventually, the sorcerer wrapped his arms around you and left a kiss on the top of your head.
"I love you, reader. I love you so much. If only I could properly show you how much I love you..." your boyfriend whispered the last part, trailing off. You lifted your head to look at him questioningly, wondering what he meant by that. "Properly show me?" you parroted, and your boyfriend nodded in response. Your boyfriend took a deep breath before speaking up. "I... I would really love to show you how much I truly love you... If you... If you get what I mean..." the sorcerer said as he turned his head away from you, a blush appearing on his face. The gears in your head started turning, and then you realised what he had meant by saying that. You blushed just as much as him at this point, trying to come up with words, but random stutters were all you managed.
"I... I can imagine you wouldn't possibly want to even think about this tonight. It's been eventful for sure. and uh... I also know it would be your first time. But when you are ready, I would love to give you all the love I have to give to you," your boyfriend said, barely above a whisper. You had no idea what came over you, but you started leaving more kisses on his chest and some on his neck and face as well. Shu gently took hold of your head and kissed you deeply. Deeply and hungrily after all the other kisses you had left on his body. You sat on top of your boyfriend, leaning over to share an intense and intimate French kiss.
"You know... We really don't have to do this now. I don't want you to feel forced into doing something you're not comfortable with," your boyfriend said, as one hand reached up to tuck some hair behind your ear. "I... I want to do this for you. I'm really nervous, but I know you will make it awesome. I'm not afraid of pain or discomfort, because if it happens, I know it will get better after some time. Every first for anything can be scary, but I know it will be okay," you said with a loving smile as you left another kiss on his neck. Your boyfriend nodded and asked you to lie down on your back for him, and you did as you were asked.
"Hmm, I wonder... How far have you gone on your own before?" your boyfriend asked you as he lifted the shirt up to under your breasts so he could leave some kisses on your stomach. "I, uh... I have done quite a few things on my own, so it isn't entirely new to me... But, uh... I've never had anything bigger than fingers inside of me before," you said with a massive blush as you looked down at your boyfriend. You decided to give him more of a view, so you sat up to take off the shirt, and it landed on the bed next to you. "That's good to know," your boyfriend said as his mouth found your nipple to suck on it. "Then it shouldn't be too painful for you," your boyfriend continued as his other hand gently twisted your other nipple. You threw your head back since a mouth on your nipple was definitely new to you. You didn't have much to offer in the boob department, but Shu didn't mind in the slightest, touching them and sucking on them, basically worshipping them.
"How about we take these off?" your boyfriend asked as he hooked his fingers underneath the hem of your panties. You nodded your head and lifted your butt so he could pull them down, landing next to his own shirt. "I want to see more of you, too..." you whispered as your own fingers hooked underneath the elastic of Shu's sweatpants. The sorcerer hummed in response and got busy taking his pants off. You had seen him in just underwear before, and it wasn't the first time you had seen or felt his boner through it either, since the two of you had cuddled up in his or your bed plenty of times, sometimes getting a bit handsy.
"What do you want me to do, sweetheart?" Shu asked as he got between your legs, letting a single digit run up your folds. "Want... Want to feel your mouth... please..." you whispered as your hands found his hair and you let his raven locks run through your fingers. Your boyfriend chuckled and said, "You got it, princess." Your boyfriend licked up and down your folds, occasionally taking your clit in his mouth to suck on it. You threw your head back as your grip on his hair tightened. His tongue felt like heaven against your folds, and his lips around your clit felt like absolute bliss. To make it even better, two fingers entered you to rub at your g-spot. With his fingers inside of you and his lips wrapped around your clit, it wouldn't take you long to slowly but surely get closer and closer. Your moans became higher in pitch, and your grip on his locks tightened once more, pulling on them hard. Your boyfriend took it as a sign that he was doing a good job, so he kept doing the exact same thing to hopefully push you over the edge soon. Trapping his head between your thighs, you let out a strangled moan as you came all over his lower face. The muscles in your body relaxed as your head fell back once more, and you struggled to catch your breath.
Your boyfriend crawled up to eye level with you to leave some gentle kisses on your jawline. "How do you feel, darling?" your boyfriend asked you as he got busy with sucking a hickey beneath your ear. "Feels so good..." you replied, slightly slurred due to the afterglow taking you over. "But I want more of you. Want you to feel good too..." you continued as you gently took his face in your hands to leave a hungry kiss on your boyfriend's lips. Your boyfriend chuckled and asked you if you were ready for more. You whispered a soft "yes" as your answer. Shu knew you were on the pill, but he wanted to ask you if you wanted him to use a condom anyway. "No, that's okay. I want to feel all of you..." you replied with a dreamy sigh, thinking about how good it was going to feel to have him inside of you, and to have his cum paint your walls white. You were getting ahead of yourself, but you knew all your dreams were coming true soon enough.
Your boyfriend moved between your legs after taking off his underwear. You looked at his dick and curiously admired it for a little bit. It looked so smooth and beautiful to you, the tip a pretty pink colour with precum seeping out of it. You wondered what it would taste like. Shu saw you staring at him as he was chewing his bottom lip, the curious and enthusiastic glint in your eyes so motivating to him. "Whatcha looking at, darling? Do you want to touch it?" your boyfriend asked as he took one of your hands in his and guided it down his body. You sat up so you could reach him better, gently wrapping your hand around his member. Shu let out a shaky breath as you started moving your hand up and down, motivating you by saying, "That's it darling... Mmm feels good... But I know it will feel even better inside of you." Your blush spread to your ears when those words left his lips as your index finger played with the slit to collect some precum on it. You brought your finger closer to your mouth to lick it clean. It was an... Interesting taste. It wasn't gross per se, but it definitely didn't taste that great either.
Your boyfriend chuckled when he saw your face contort into several different expressions, saying, "Don't worry darling, in due time you will get used to the taste. Now then, I think it's about time we go for the main course, what do you think? Because I know I can't wait any longer." the sorcerer said as he gently pushed you on your back again, getting between your legs once more. You nodded and wrapped your arms around your lover to pull him closer to you. Your boyfriend rubbed his dick on your folds a few times to collect some slick, and then proceeded to slowly push inside of you. A gasp left your mouth as you felt you were being stretched so far, you had no idea it would ever even fit in there. When your boyfriend bottomed out, he asked you if it hurt and if you were okay. "No, it doesn't really hurt. It does feel kind of strange, though. But it feels so good already, and you've barely even done anything," you say with a shaky exhale of breath as you pull the sorcerer even closer to you. "Please move... I want more, please..." you plead, and your boyfriend is happy to oblige.
Shu starts with some shallow thrusts at first, constantly keeping a close eye on your expressions to see if you're okay. Soon enough, your face contorts into a pleasured expression, and you beg him to give you even more. He'll let you get away with bossing him around this once, but next time, he is going to straight up ruin you the second he enters you. As the sorcerer's thrusts become even deeper and faster, your moans get even louder, and the grip on his back becomes tighter. He can feel the delicious sting of your nails digging into his back, and in this moment, he feels so connected to you. He feels the happiest he has ever felt, with you in his arms, showing each other the ultimate act of pure devotion, and he feels honoured that he is allowed to be your first. Words of adoration and pure love keep spilling from his lips.
"I love you so much... You feel so good, my love... You feel so, so good... Gosh, I love you so darn much... My world would be nothing without you..." Your boyfriend keeps gushing as he leaves heated kisses and nibbles on your neck. You can do nothing but reply with moans of pure ecstasy as you keep telling him how much you love him, too. The sound of skin slapping combined with the words he speaks to you between moans makes it all that much more intense for you, and you can feel you are getting closer to the edge. Your boyfriend notices that your moans become more desperate, but he wants to give you the most intense orgasm he can. One hand sneaks in between the two of you, a slender finger playing with your clit for extra stimulation. Your moans become impossibly louder, and your orgasm approaches you like a freight train as you wrap your legs even tighter around his hips, essentially trapping him between your legs. The sorcerer's hips begin to stutter as he approaches his own orgasm, licking and biting at your ear to give you that final tiny push you needed. With a scream of his name, you fall apart, your release so intense that you cover his hips with it. Seeing you cum so hard was your boyfriend's undoing, unloading himself inside of you with a desperate moan of your name. Your boyfriend ever so elegantly collapses on top of you, continuously whispering how much he loves you like a mantra. It felt a bit heavy with the sorcerer on top of you, but at the same time, it felt so comforting and pleasant. Your legs landed back on the bed as you kept holding him tightly in your arms.
"Did I do okay?" your boyfriend asked you as he left a loving kiss on top of your nose. "Are you fucking kidding me? This was... absolutely perfect..." you admitted as you kissed his lips with all the love you could. Your boyfriend got off of you, pulling out of you as he did so, to lie down next to you. You turned on your flank to be the little spoon, and your boyfriend quickly slotted himself against you after he wrapped both of you in his blanket. A satisfied sigh left your mouth as you told your boyfriend how much you loved him and thanked him once more for everything he did for you tonight. "You are so incredibly welcome, my love. I would do anything for you, always. My world would be empty without you," your boyfriend replied as he left some gentle kisses on your shoulder blade.

Tumblr media
A new pop-up store dropped for ALIEN STAGE's 2nd anniversary and wow. It's so sick.
It's Interesting what exactly these experiments are focusing on and monitoring.
Tumblr media
Instrument practice
I found it interesting earlier that Till was so tame, more so than he usually is when he's going through experiments, but music, and making music is what he loves doing, So he was fully in his element here. This was probably the only thing he was made to do by the aliens that he at least tolerated.
(Additionally, judging by his collar (orange), he was at least calm. maybe he just isn't fazed anymore.)
//Side note, that head contraption looks familiar BUT this most likely isn't related at least i hope
Tumblr media
(It puts me at ease, at least..)
Tumblr media
Dance practice
This surprised me, but I suppose Mizi needed more skills.
She looks very startled here, and nervous(?) +It looks like she's doing this while singing. And with that face covering I assume this was a test monitoring her dance balance, precision, etc. At first, I did think it was odd, "Why would Shine put her through that" But alas I was reminded that even though Mizi is the flower of the group she was never untouchable, to Shine, this was the equivalent of teaching your dog to sit and stay.
(seeing this it reminded me of those scenes in movies where the people are dancing, and the music gets faster and faster until they fall. I wonder if she was doing through something similar to that)
Tumblr media
Singing practice (?)
Similar to Till she also looks quite calm outwardly, if the machine around her neck is an iteration of the collars they have, then this process wasn't something she liked, or given how intense this experiment looks, this was a test of high-pressure to ensure she always stayed calm during performances (?). Then again this could also be a posture practice given all the structure focused on maintaining her position.
(What I believe was another form of this test was shown before so I think so)
Tumblr media
(With her hands in a praying stance I wonder if she was praying to herself or singing a religious song (sweet dream?) It's also interesting that the machinery around her looks like a halo, and she looks so...angelic? holy?)
Tumblr media
Image making practice
By image making, I think they made Ivan replicate expressions with his face. Whether this process was painful for him or not...I'm not sure. But it looked visibly uncomfortable, maybe that was the point. (His expression, even in this circumstance is so dubious..)
Tumblr media
Ivan, among other things, needed to have a spotless appearance to be successful, his image was a priority given his skills were certainly guaranteed.
I assume the aliens eventually took note of his lack of expression, in the real world this can be a detriment to one's career, so the Aliens had to ensure quality was perfect. (To a more...dedicated level)
Tumblr media
Superiority test
'Superiority test' Is very vague.
HyunA is very calm here too, likely sedated in that water with all the tablets on her. I guess this was a test to get an idea of a pet human's strengths and weaknesses, endurance, and temperament to compare and contrast them with others, testing who is more viable for Alien stage?
Another interesting, and sad part about this is that HyunWoo was there, watching his sister through her experiments.
(Also, it looks like both of her legs are normal, no alien leg yet.)
Tumblr media
Heart rate variability
And finally, the most visceral of them all. The wording 'variability' makes this all the more sickening, the Aliens were testing his heart hours, testing it at different rates, speeds, and states. And he was in agony the entire time. Even the way he's clutching his chest, it gives me chills. This would've been a completely harmless test in a normal setting, as something quite similar to this can be performed efficiently in real life. But he's being tortured in the process.
This is one of the first times we've ever seen Luka's face so truly clear and unprotected, (understandably so.) He's even crying.

I have very complicated feelings for the Vengeance Saga (after the first listen)
Disclaimer: I will only criticize Epic the Vengeance Saga as a work on its own, not for its inaccuracy or deviation from mythology and The Odyssey. There are more knowledgable people who can point out and analyze the changes in Epic the Musical, but that is not what I'll be tackling here.
To put it bluntly, I'm not being angsty about it as I should. The whole saga just... didn't feel right with me.
Now, first off all, I'm a big fan of Epic and had been following it since the Cyclops saga (first version). I've been in love with many songs and hyperfixed it for months on end. But when the Vengeance saga came along, I didn't feel that same bubbling love rise in me.
Even as a fan, this isn't my first time having peeves with Epic. I didn't jam with the re-release sagas for a while, I'm underwhelmed with the Circe VS Odysseus fight and other issues, very unpopular opinion but "Monster" wasn't too impactful to me, and also the God Games (especially Zeus' attack).
The Vengeance Saga though? Well, they say we gotta do the Bun-Meat-Bun (or whatever the hell its name really is) technique when giving criticism, so I'll start with the good parts.
I love that Odysseus looked so done with Calypso in "Not Sorry For Loving You". They're basically this meme:
Tumblr media
Like sorry you're a sad but you're still an abuser 😒
Then Odysseus starts singing the reprise for "Full Speed Ahead" but there's no one to back him up. That one hits me hard. To whoever on Tumblr said that after the Thunder Saga we will never hear the crew's back-up again and Odysseus' singing will be answered with silence, Apollo really blessed you with the red ball.
Hermes and the Winions' part was really cool too! I really like them being mischievous helper! The warning about the wind bag and the changing scene of Odysseus fighting off sea monsters while Hermes just vibing with the beats is 👌👌👌
But after that the hype started to sizzle out for me. You might want to skip this part if you're not comfortable with harsh criticism because I WON'T hold back.
It's really backward but I like the Odysseus VS Charybdis draft more than the final production. Charybdis' roars and music are somehow less intimidating, which is a shame because I thought this would be one of the biggest struggles Odysseus will face. Even with awesome illustrative animatics, the scene wasn't as thrilling as I've expected.
The other songs got massive improvement from its draft version (on top of my mind I can think of "Thunder Bringer", "There Are Other Ways", "Little Wolf"), but I don't get why "Charybdis" didn't get up-graded as much like them. It's like a cake that was throughly baked but half decorated and it just didn't taste as good as I've hoped.
Then we have the Odysseus VS Poseidon part in "Get In The Water" and "Six Hundred Strikes". The first thought I had for GITW is this song sounds like all the draft snippets were mashed together without a smooth transition/connection between them. Jorge and Steven's performance is great, but there's not enough tension for me to dread for Odysseus. When Poseidon first met Odysseus in "Ruthlessness", the whole opening was terrifyingly good! And we didn't even have any illustration animatic back then! (that's not to say the GITW animatics were bad, they just can't salvage much when the song itself was already weak)
I wasn't impressed with Poseidon's Shatter The Ocean move either. It's supposed to be the Strongest AttackTM but it's less scary than when he and the Laestrygonians destroyed Odysseus' eleven ships with probably 1% of their power. It didn't even help when Poseidon looked like he's having a seizure with lights pouring out of his eyes and mouth during the transformation.
Odysseus being literally on the brink of death with the souls of his loved ones pulling him into the abyss is a gem in the rough, but because we've seen Odysseus almost drowning before in the end of the Thunder Saga, it's not as shocking as it should be. Furthermore, Poseidon could have instant-killed Odysseus right then and there but didn't really annoyed me. But I guess he just wanted Odysseus to slowly suffer while dying.
Right when I thought the progress will get better, it... gets down. I can go with Odysseus using wind to escape the water, but him wearing it like a jetpack is so comical it ruined the drastic of the situation. And I'm officially let down when Odysseus FUCKING ATTACKED Poseidon in "Six Hundred Strike".
What? Just... why with that choice?
Look, I'm not gonna fault Epic for making creative liberties from the source material (as said in the disclaimer), but I will criticize if that change contradict itself in the transformative work. And this is one of them.
Poseidon and the gods have been proven time and time again in the musical just how powerful they are. Their ominous and grandiose entrances, them striking fear and inferiority in our hearts just by singing. Even Circe, a low-level goddess, poses a constant threat to the crew and Odysseus had to get help from Hermes just to get a chance to corner her (and Hermes even joked that he can still die!)
Poseidon easily destroyed almost all of Odysseus' fleet. Odysseus was very avoidant of him, opting to go to the literal Underworld to find instruction on how to dodge him and sailing through Scylla's lair + willing to sacrifice six men for safe passage. And when Poseidon said he can drown all of Ithaca, it's not just bluffing, he would and could have done that. Yeah, the King of the Sea is THAT BIG of a threat.
So no, Odysseus isn't cool to attack Poseidon, he's being stupid. I'm not even cheering for him the whole time he fight, just groaning at how ridiculous the whole thing is. If Epic is more believable and sticks to WHAT IT HAD ESTABLISHED BEFORE, having a sudden burst of anger and choosing ruthlessness won't save Odysseus from one swipe of Poseidon's trident. Odysseus stood no chance against one of the most powerful deity, even if he's the protagonist and love his family.
Not only that, Poseidon didn't even defend himself and was wounded by a mere human! And he just sat there and took all the blows and insults from Odysseus??? And he actually begged Odysseus to stop and agree to quell the storm to let him get home??? I'm not buy that bullshit. I'm more upset that a literal Olympian god was nerfed down than Odysseus having a Gary Stu moment. Give me a break, that try-hard moment to be cool and edgy just show how badly written the scene is.
What's the fucking point of hyping up how dangerous the gods are if a human can take one down? Tell me this isn't some Wattpad-y Greek myth retelling fanfic where the teenage Y/N sass her way to defeat an entire pantheon. Epic really traded its opportunity to be better for some cheap and out-of-the-blue dramas in this saga, dare I say it's even worse than Zeus' OOC attack on Athena. I'm very disappointed with that decision.
On an end note, the saga did have one saving point with the "After everything you've done, how will you sleep at night?" - "Next to my wife" lines. Odysseus knew he could be the most horrendous man ever and Penelope would still choose his side, that just show how powerful their love and faith in each other are.
But not enough to excuse all the terrible cinematic choices.
