#i lov them and i'm surprised how much i like this book

[loveriotss]

Hii! Could you do some Mr.Compress headcanons pls? Tysmm! 💗

HCS OF HIM AS YOUR BOYFRIEND ⸻ atsuhiro sako / mr compress

INCLUDES — gn! reader, fluff, headcannons, drabbles/one shots WARNINGS — reader is implied to be part of the lov/lives together with the

main masterlist — mha masterlist ༊*·˚

he lovess bragging about you to the other members.

literally will not shut up!!

atsuhiro leaned back in his chair, a smug smile on his lips as he sipped his drink. across from him, sat twice who looked like he was being held hostage. "you wouldn't believe the day i've had," atsuhiro began, his eyes sparkling. "y/n cooked for me today! it was so remarkable and exquisite! they made this-" "listen man," twice interrupted, trying to put on a pleasant expression. "i'm really happy for you and i love that you enjoy your time with y/n! but..how long are you planning to keep talking about them? it's been like almost 4 hours."

dates with him are always unique and memorable. private magic shows, picnics in scenic spots or romantic candle lit dinners in secret places.

a HUGE gift giver!

he will go all out! oh you were eyeing a pair of cute shoes today? he stealthily compressed it and presented it to you proudly. or maybe you had to reluctantly leave a cute giant teddy bear behind at that one shop...only to find out that the marble atsuhiro left on your desk was actually the teddy bear!

yeah he's technically stealing them instead of buying but its the thought that counts! (he is a villian after all, what can you expect?)

he's not afraid to show you his love openly.

expect grand declarations of love, like surprise dates or writing you countless romantic letters as if he were a lovesick teenager.

the other lov members are sick and jealous of you two.

he always respects your personal space and boundaries and makes sure you don't get overwhelmed by his dramatic personality.

as much as he is confident and flashy in public, he's incredibly affectionate and sweet in private.

late night cuddle sessions while you two talk for hours on end, comfortable in each other's arms. honestly, that's his favorite part of the day.

he can be a bit possessive, but not in an oppressive way.

usually more dramatic and pouty when he's jealous, making the situation more silly than serious.

in the dim glow of your room, atsuhiro sulked dramatically on the edge of your bed. you were completely engrossed in your book, sitting with your back pressed against the headboard of your bed. "do you know," atsuhiro began, letting out a melodramatic sigh, "how dreadfully overlooked and unimportant i feel at this moment?" you glanced up, an eyebrow raised. "oh really? and what is that supposed to mean?". atsuhiro shifted, leaning forward with an exaggerated pout. "well, it's not everyday one finds themselves overshadowed by a book of all things." you giggled softly, setting the book aside. "aww are you jealous of a book?" "jealous?" he scoffed, "whatever made you think such a thing? i simply can't bear to see my amazing presence overshadowed by..pages. that's all!" "alright, oh great one, i apologize for this disastrous behavior of mine. please forgive me" you reply, matching his tone playfully. his pout softened into a smile, the dramatic flair melting into warmth. "well, perhaps if you could indulge me with a bit more attention, i may consider forgiving you." "yes yes, my attention is now all yours." you reply, wrapping your arms around him as you place a soft kiss on the top of his head.

NOTE — omg i can finally make posts with the asks!! it used to glitch for some reason before when id try to make longer posts with it 😭. anyways i kinda giggled while writing this ugh im so delusional 🤭🤭. also added two drabbles/one shots (idk what to call it) just becauseee. sorry if this might seem a bit ooc, i referred solely to google to get an idea of his personality because honestly i dont rmb shit of what he said or did in the anime 🧍.

Are you feeling about Touya? I can't imagine Horikoshi it would be way too cruel, especially since him and Shouto need to eat soba together.

Feeling hopeful. I know the general consensus in the Dabi fandom right now is fear and despondency but when I look at the overall picture of the story, Touya dying doesn't make any sense and there's a lot of setup for him to survive.

The random guard/whoever saying Touya is heading toward a slow death means nothing to me. Not when Ujiko, the brilliant (but evil) doctor who saved Touya from certain death on Sekoto Peak, was wrong about Dabi's body not surviving a month after he woke up from the coma. The core of Touya's character is literally about survival and determination, going above and beyond to exceed expectations to live and be seen. I also feel that there might be something within Touya that allows him to survive, which is how he has any fire resistance at all. He was crying actual real tears this chapter instead of blood, which hints that his body is healing. I've seen other people theorize that Shouto's Phosphor has healing properties, which is promising and more in line with the stories' themes and messages than Touya dying again.

Overall, the tone of the Todoroki family arc is positive and hopeful. Yes, Fuyumi quit her teaching position, but one of the students' parents helped her find another one. This means that not only does this one parent believe in her, but so does this new employer. And those kindergarteners that Shouto connected with during the remedial license Arc have been supporting him this entire time. These instances show that society is changing their attitude towards the relatives of those who commit crimes and are willing to accept the Todorokis back into society and are literally cheering for them. This doesn't change the fact that some people will definitely hate them, but it's not all doom and gloom. And the soba thing - what a way to connect to someone who was born to replace you! That's a deep connection right there, and that's good. The story has focused a lot on connections and how life-saving and important those can be. Dying would rip that connection and go against the themes

Also, I feel like the Todoroki family would be much more worried and emotionally wrecked if they thought Touya was actually dying. Endeavor keeps talking to Touya about the future and visiting him. Unless all of them are in denial about what is happening, then why would they torture themselves talking about something that can't happen? All these conversations they want to have etc etc. It would be cruel, and Horikoshi is a sensitive guy. I don't think he could write something like that, and it doesn't fit what he's written so far.

To go further than Touya, I wouldn't be surprised if we see Toga and Spinner also on their deathbeds currently too, tbh. I'm thinking that mysterious new character (who is Tenko, no doubt), saved by his regeneration quirk, may help them. There's set up for it via Kurogiri telling Shigaraki his friends are waiting for him, and not to mention Shigaraki's always been the hero of the lov. He might not have saved them emotionally like the hero kids did, but he can save them physically. I'm not sure how exactly it'll all happen but I think they will all be okay in the end.

I know some readers have a different, more critical/negative opinion than I do, and that's fine. Ever since Shigiraki died, I've been saying that it's going to get worse before it gets better and that we're not going to see a resolution to that soon, and that's all been happening. I hate this saying, but, it's not over till the fat lady sings. I'm just going to keep on reading. I keep telling my friends this over and over again but it's kind of like reading the last Harry Potter (author is dead to me) book and stopping/rage quitting when Harry is killed by Voldemort in the forest. Keep reading. The story is not over yet, and a lot can change for the better. Let Horikoshi tell his story.

[itsnothingofinterest]

I think that the LoV deserves to win in the Final War because if they win, they will be able to create a world for themselves. The Heroes never meant to deserve to win at all considering the fact that most of them are morally corrupted (like the HPSC) and they are more interesting when they lose all the time.

If Spinner were able to win against Shoji, that would prove that his point will be always right and he would be able to save Shigaraki. If Toya succeeded, it would be the punishment that Endeavor deserves for abandoning his eldest son. If Toga succeeded, she would be able to do anything she wants. If Tomura Shigaraki wins against Deku and destroys Deku along with the entire Hero Society, Tomura Shigaraki would be able to have peace with his friends.

If I may be allowed the opportunity to rant: I'm sure some will say this is crazy at this juncture of the story but honestly? I get where you're coming from. Or at least 90% of it.

I mean for starters, I sympathize with the League far more than the heroes (no surprise from a villain fan). I think they’ve earned the happy endings they want after how hard they’ve struggled against the towering odds they’ve faced, an area which I feel they far surpass the heroes. I want them to win, I want them to prove the strength of their bonds, all that fun stuff for them.

And just logically, if you look at the worlds both sides are trying to make…the villain's world kinda seems better? Because after all, isn’t the plan to just take the current world, tear it down, and rebuild it without a whole bunch of its glaring flaws? The easy world Toga wants where kids like her don’t fear for their lives. Where corrupt heroes like Endeavor and bigots like the CRC aren’t left to their crimes. In a warped way, they’re almost like young All Might.

Compare that to the status quo the heroes want back, the very one that brought us here, which I don’t see much reason to root for. I mean even if you say “but all the people who’ve died”; first off, I swear mha civilians frequently act like horror movie victims so I can only care so much for them. But if I did, they want back the very status quo that led to all that death in the first place so…it feels like it’ll just lead back here again. A return of the status quo? This chaos is part of the status quo by now, you sure you want it back?

(Granted this is all hampered a little bit by Shigaraki’s sudden decision to sink the country and really where did that come from? Did Tomura just say that to appear more inhuman? Did Hori make him say that to appear more threatening? Because that kind of interferes with a lot of the League’s goals y’know. Sure he doesn’t want to give the status quo loving heroes a chance to rebuild what he destroyed, but society still needs replacing as part of the plan. The PLF are still supposed to rebuild according to their desires. I may make a post about just this plot point soon.)

Not to mention that I totally get what you mean about the heroes not narratively earning a permanent win here. Not only have they as a whole not really developed and surpassed their old flaws, but just the fact that they’ve been doing their own war crimes in this arc (when you’re really supposed to stick to your morals and beat villains by the book against make-the-world-better-by-extreme-measures-type villains) really makes me think they just don't deserve the win because they kind of can’t be trusted going forward. I mean the final arc's supposed to show where everyone is ending up; how they'll be in the future. And the impression being left is that the heroes, even the kids to enough of an extent to worry, have shown the same corruption we know the HPSC for.

About the only thing I disagree with out on is that I don’t want Deku specifically to die. He can be, to put bluntly, a self-righteous moron about things he doesn't understand at times, and can be a bit of an AM clone a lot of the rest of the time; but I'd hardly wish his death for just that. Especially since it seems any hope for the heroes side not repeating their mistakes rests on him pulling his head out of his arse and getting a clue on how to be better than All Might. Not that I think that'll happen anytime soon, but that's why I keep insistently hoping for an MHA part 2.

(Sorry I took so long with this. Mix of being busy with real life and being in a writing funk. Which is why this may not be my finest post either. Hope you understand.)

[todomitoukei]

Villain stan, I was already expecting an ending like Naruto's anime. Complete trash just for people that experience the story through fanon more than canon. Still, I feel robbed.

This is an anime about SUPERHEROES! What was the idea of finishing with the complete LoV dead or in jail? It would have costed nothing to put Toga, Spinner and Mr. Compress running amok, ready to avenge Twice, Magne, Shigaraki and Dabi. Marvel and DC never had a problem with having villains running free and getting ready for a next battle. An open ending that re-starts the circle as the hores need their villains.

Because Toga's death was bs, not only for being avoidable, but because the fans basically took the moment Ochake opened up about her grief towards Toga to make a DekuChako moment (Neji's death all over again >:v, the only difference is that this time it wasn't the Mangaka's intention to move a ship, but the fans decided to spit in Toga's death none the less).

And honestly, while every villain stan was "Dabi will live" I was "Gods, I hope he dies, because enything else will be a trash ending" and I WAS RIGHT! AT LEAST GIVE HIM THAT LAST SATISFACTION!

Also, Spinner just staying in jail like WHAT? Spinner was the villain who most respected and was the most loyal to Shigaraki, don't make him just write a book, MAKE HIM LEAD THE NEXT LEAGUE OF VILLAINS!

And of course, Endeavor and Hawks have no consecuences for their actions, everything just forgiven, even by the victims. Honestly, I was always in the posture of LoV as family >>>> Todofam, so I wasn't expecting Dabi's end to be more than a "We did it, we stopped Dabi. Now we are free of the past and move on, even if Dabi honestly can't" and this is one of the few times I hate to be right.

(Sorry for the venting, thank you for putting this space to talk about it.)

No need to apologize <3

You're so right about Toga's death immediately being used for different characters having a moment instead of, you know, focusing on her. I'm not sure if this manga could pass the Bechdel test.

That really is why the ending is so bad - the villains seem to not have left as much of a mark as they should've, the fact that the hero ranking system continues being in place is proof of that. You would think that society at the very least realized that treating heroes like celebrities was problematic, and yet nothing about that part of the system changed.

To be honest, I'm surprised they even let Spinner write and publish his book rather than seeing this as some kind of propaganda or safety risk. Remember how early on in the story when those Stain videos came out? It's surprising then that they let Spinner do this.

An ending that suggests the cycle starts again would've been interesting, but remember, Hori went for a "happy" ending

Hori was clearly in over his head writing a story that he ultimately was incapable of writing. The story had so much potential, yet here we are with a story that eventually decided to have nothing change.

I think the Todofam would be great, but I've always been of the opinion that it could never work with Endvr around, which is clear when you look at the Todofam finale where they are all supposedly eager to talk to Touya, only for none of them to say anything beyond that except for Endvr, who also ultimately says nothing other than how much of a victim he is. Boohoo.

Yeah, we were right. But at what cost...

[zhongrin]

Good evening Rin! I come by with another zhongwrinth thought! It’s always been a personal headcanon of mine that Zhongli knows how to fight with different weapons, maybe because he’s the God of War or smth but anyways! I like to think combat practice does happen from time to time in the teahouse or in the adeptal relams.

At first it’s Wriothesley practicing punches then Zhongli passes by and asks him, “Have you tried (insert boxing tip here)?” And Wriothesley tries it out, he’s surprised at the improvement. Wriothesley knows Zhongli is powerful, he’s in the adeptal realm after all. So sometimes he’ll seek Zhongli out and ask for a combat tip or two.

For Al-Haitham it’s a little harder? Feeble scholar he calls himself, i just like to think he passed by during Wriothesley’s practice once and Zhongli happens to be there. Zhongli comments on the Wrio’s form and Al-Haitham, curious, asks Zhongli for comments on the scholar’s form.

Zhongli gives a detailed comment and Al-Haitham just goes. “I’ll try it next time.”

So now three of them have one joint combat session, I forgot to ask, how much does Al-Haitham and Wriothesley know about Zhongli’s being a former god in the zhongwrinth household? Do they know all the details or do they just go ‘he’s powerful and gives good advice’?

That’s not the best part, the best part is when you come home and see three of your husbands, shirtless and sweating from their workout practicing together.

*runs*

*EXCITED CHEW TOY NOISES* HIIII STORM (if i can call you that??? but lmk if you prefer to be called something else <3) UEUEUE IM SCREECHING THIS WAS SO <3 <3 <3 🫠🫠🫠

(more utc bc this got long helphsdlkfjskd)

yessss i'm pretty sure zhongli can wield a lot of weapons (i mean…. 6k years and counting, god of war, knowledgeable about all things, man wears an archer's ring - and i refuse to believe it's just for 'status' or aesthetic purposes….) and he just so happens to prefer the polearm!! ough… imagine him with a claymore…. *nosebleeds*

...... they're bonding your honor. they're bonding and i like it very much. i love them i love them i love them i love them i love them i lov- wait sorry what were we talking about again? /silly

OH RIGHT YES AHEM joint combat training (or, as al haitham claims, 'just an exercise') session. does wriothesley and al haitham know about zhongli's identity? well, the answer is both yes and no lol

i'd like to think zhongli is kind of a menace in this one - he doesn't really straight up tell them, but he doesn't really try to hide the fact that he's not just an ordinary guy. they have seen him with his horns and tail out. they have seen him in his compact form wrapped around my neck like a scarf. he doesn't hesitate to tell stories of old when he was rex lapis/morax over dinner (but he does this in a storytelling fashion and in third-person pov). they have asked me for clarification, but i'm also a menace so i choose to keep quiet i don't think it's something i should be telling them, so all i tell them is "if he's not telling, then i'm not telling <3" lmao

i'd say wriothesley suspects that he's a dragon sovereign, simply because he knows neuvillette and these two old men give similar vibes and mannerisms. i imagine he keeps sneakily trying to bribe zhongli to visit fontaine with its ✨selections✨of✨tea✨ but he's actually secretly planning to make the two dragons meet so he can test his hypothesis.

as for al haitham, i think he has enough resources and brainpower to do a proper observation and research to conclude that zhongli is the ex-geo archon. he's the type who would deep dive into liyue history books and journals and records, learn ancient liyuean to explore the ruins, and ask questions to zhongli to crosscheck between the books, the facts he's seen, and whether zhongli's story corroborates it. man's hyperfixated now. someone help him.

brb now i'm imagining shirtless wriothesley and zhongli in that transparent bodysuit and al haitham in his own bodysuit, all sweating aー oh god zhongli's hair is upー oh god wrio's pouring water onto his face and it's trickling down hisー oh god haitham's lifting his bodysuit to wipe his swー HWERHFIE)OWWEDLIAJDIKASD *explODES*

[satancopilotsmytardis]

Fuck yeah, demon Dabi!

I really like that he got adopted by a community willing to take care of him. I believe that people will always seek out community and I just adore this detail here. The fact that they find a starving child and take him in.

On another note, seeing a feral Dabi would be pretty hot, actually.

Oh, Dabi. He's starving himself for other's approval. He's hurting himself again. And sure, it's different, but is it really? He's hurting himself to prove that he is strong, that he should be taken seriously. My boy :(

"There's [describes how all of the LoV are very unhinged] and Magne" I love this line.

And the found family starts! Shigaraki doesn't want any of his crew to be in less than the best shape they could be in. I really like how you write him as a good boss.

He booked a room at La Venus. Yeah, I'm sure that won't lead to him running into Shigaraki at all. Totally.

And the lingerie shows up! Also, Dabi keeping money tucked away in all of your stories for worst-case scenarios is really nice. Especially since he uses them to help the League after AfO is arrested. It just adds to his character nicely, I think.

Ooooh, flustered Shig! We don't get to see that often. Also, uncomfortable conversation for the win when Shigaraki is very much attracted to Dabi and knows that Dabi can smell it. Lol.

"He isn't supposed to be nice, or god forbid, understanding." Dabi. Dabi, have you ever thought about the fact that you had to deal with the literal scum of society for so long that you have gotten used to being treated as less than human? Because Shig is treating you like a human (well, demon) right now and that is actually the bare minimum. Oh boy.

Dabi is jealous~

That other succubus obviously noticed how interested Shig is in Dabi and felt threatened because they have slept with him before (probably more than once?). Also, the fact that Shig is not at all interested in them while being very much interested in Dabi is amusing.

Shigaraki: "I am going to be professional about this and give Dabi some space so my presence won't make him uncomfortable." Dabi: "You want to fuck me so bad it makes you look stupid."

I wonder if Shig had the scent blockers installed before or after he met Dabi for the first time? Was it just a general idea to use scent blockers in his villain costume as to not get tracked down or did Giran tell him one of the people who want to get in contact is a Succubus and Shig tried to make sure Dabi won't be uncomfortable?

"What if I want to eat you tonight?" "What are your rates?" Shigaraki you are such a simp. "More than worth triple." Oh, do you also want to offer him your still-beating heart on a golden plate? Simp.

Of course Shigaraki would find a way to be sweet even high on venom. He would never want to hurt Dabi by accident.

I really enjoy how you write oral. I think those are some of my favourite fics from you.

Last third of the fic and things are going downhill fast. I'm guessing Dabi only managed to last two months because he was eating so regularly before. Oh, I wonder if the fact that he can't get his fill from anyone else has to do woth the fact that he called Shigaraki his mate? Nah, couldn't be it. Haha, immediately got confirmation for that one.

Okay, but that venom-turned-to-gas attack is cool as fuck. Also, Compress immediately asking to turn taht into marbles just shows how the League is used to having Dabi around. Compress is practical when it comes to stuff like this, he won't judge Dabi when this can be used to give them an advantage (not that he would judge Dabi otherwise, either).

The fact that Dabi has managed to go hungry for this long without going feral really speaks for his self control. I don't remember if you ever answered this, but do demons typically have quirks in this universe? What is the PLFs stance on succubi?

Oh, oh poor Dabi. He was hungry for so long and he tried so hard and he held on for so long. It's no surprise he's slipping. Though taking a chunk out of an already injured Shigaraki does seem counterproductive. Also, that injury is going to be difficult to explain. Especially if there are succubi around, or people who know enough about succubi to know about them going feral.

The abandonment issues are hitting hard again, aren't they? And Shigaraki is such a simp. He had Dabi take a bite out of him and all he can focus on is that Dabi was hurting.

Well, that's a twist. Interesting though! Also, the fact that Shigaraki just immediately ignores everything else to make Dabi feel good. My guy, you are missing part of your shoulder.

Ah, that was a sweet ending. Well, as sweet as you can get with these two. I wonder how the rest of the League reacted? They definitely noticed that Dabi was oit of it for a long time. And I imagine they took the time to read up on succubi, at least on the basics. Did they know he was starving?

Also, an immortal Shigaraki is terrifying, actually. Once heroes find out how he did that, I'm pretty sure they will use the fact that he "owns" Dabi to turn the public even more against him.

Thank you for the story!

Fuck yeah! A long comment!!

Dabi's daddy issues really take a backseat in this one, but they are absolutely still here being a driving force behind his actions in a way I don't even think he's capable of recognizing.

I truly believe that Magne is the most normal member of the League. Oh, she has 47 attempted murders and a temper? Yeah? So what? I would too if i had to deal with transphobia that far into the future while an anthropomorphic washing machine got to run around being one of the top heroes!

Shigaraki has definitely slept with Reo at least twice, however, even if he hadn't slept with Dabi that night, he never would have taken them to bed again. He does not like that Reo tried to stake their claim over him when as far as he was concerned, anything that happened before was just a transaction.

The scent blockers were a part of his costume since his debut! When there are heroes like Hound Dog, it's important to keep things like that covered. But Shigaraki didn't know they were just as effective on demons which is why he said he would be reporting that back to the doctor.

READ HIM FOR FILTH! Look, Shigaraki is so blunt already that I just think if he ever cared enough about something other than his goals, be that another person or just sex flat out, he would be incredibly blunt, earnest, and cringe about pursuing that as well. He does not have a subtle bone in his body.

So in this universe, full-blooded demons do not have quirks, but they do have innate magics and abilities that can sometimes mimic what humans think of as quirks and that can help them stand toe-to-toe with humans even after their evolution. I never had a good chance to bring this up in the Incubus!Shigaraki story, but in the first installment Dabi mentions that he told the rest of the League Decay was a mutation of his ability to eat lifeforce, however Shigaraki was not aware at that time, that was a lie. In actuality, he was born human with demonic blood in his ancestry, and when Decay activated as a child, he was scooped up by AFO who then had Ujiko do a lot of medical experimentation on him until the demon genes activated. From there they waited for him to hit puberty, knowing his memories would be fucked up and gaslighting him the entire time to make sure he thought he was a born demon, to see what kind he would end up being. The fact he ended up being something as weak and low-born as an incubus is why AFO treated him so poorly and encouraged him to starve/feed only on nightmares, since he had already put so much effort into Shigaraki and didn't want to waste him. The fact that Dabi very openly and blatantly has a quirk signals to the world he was human first.

The PLF is a very large organization so it would range from "not racist at all" to "extremely racist" concerning Dabi's and (to a lesser degree) Toga's heritage. In general, given his position in the organization, Dabi would not have to deal with the particularly racist members-- except Geten who, after the incident in Deika, and with his own family's obsession with 'blood purity' would be thoroughly disgusted by Dabi. He would still ask to be put on a squad with the popsicle though, because Dabi is used to that kind of treatment and he wants to keep a close eye on him to make sure he doesn't' ever try to start something.

Shigaraki continues to be a simp, but the fact that he ignored the bite and just kept fucking Dabi is 100% down to the venom. He couldn't have stopped even if he wanted to at that point, and he was just glad that Dabi didn't tear out a vein or artery.

The rest of the League would know they're dating, and kind of had their big reaction to that before the group headed to Deika, but no one else would be able to tell that Shigaraki owns Dabi now unless they tell them, or until it becomes very obvious that Shigaraki is not aging anymore, which he might actually continue to do until he's around 25 or so if the bond determines that's when he would be at his most physically healthy. Overall, I think that they would be happy for them, but be very confused about how in the fuck that works, because the succubi-granted immortality is a very well-kept secret in demon circles to avoid succubi being enslaved again.

So on that same note, the heroes would have no way of knowing what was going on between the two of them for a very, very long time. Especially if Shigaraki does naturally unlock the regeneration quirk of All For One, which would make the longevity Dabi is giving him and his healing look like one and the same. They would also have a theoretical eternity to do what they need to, even if Dabi has already decided he's not going to kill himself to kill Endeavor anymore. Now he gets to take the time and plan for a new revenge. (I'm thinking fighting Shoto and forcing him to use his flames until he accidentally turns into a demon too and forcing Enji to see his perfect prodigy is now a demonic race the whole world looks down on)

Thank you for the comment!

It's All Coming Back to Me in Waves

Pairing: Din Djarin x f!reader

Summary: After many years of being apart, an old friend of the Mandalorian - that meant more to him than he dared to admit - contacts him and invites him over. Could Din let himself dream of her again?

Genre: Fluff, slow burn (kind of)

Warnings: None

Words: 623

A/N: This story happens after the events shown in The Book of Boba Fett. This is just the introduction for a series, hence why such few words. It's also my first time writing after around four years, and first time writing for the fandom after even longer (six years, maybe? Seven?!); I'm anxious about it, but I've got support after posting if I should do this or not, so here we go! Hope you enjoy reading!

Part I;

Introduction

“Hey there, Mando!” Said a rather shy and unsure voice through the holoprojector. Din never thought he’d hear that voice again, let alone her sweet face. His jaw dropped a little and his eyes widened under the helmet.

“I know it’s been a while” the hologram continued, “a pretty long while. I think… ten years, maybe?” Maker! Has it really been that long? “But I just came back from the cantina, where I met a man telling the adventures of a certain Mandalorian in shiny helmet that owned a Razor Crest and that’s just been through a lot of trouble. It sounded just like the Mandalorian I’ve met all those years ago.” She smiled, and Din smiled to himself as he recalled the old times. “He also mentioned a child?! That one got me really confused. Anyway, I talked to him and he introduced himself as Greef Karga and was pretty surprised when I told him we knew each other. Guess your people skills haven’t gotten any better, huh? He told me you lost the Crest. I’m sorry about that; I’ve missed that ship… He’s the one that gave me your new ship’s contact code so that’s how I’m sending this to you. I…” Din watched the hologram attentively as she paused and her eyes looked away, clearly insecure to continue. “I thought that maybe you and the child could use some rest in a peaceful place. It’s spring here so the weather is nice and the views are beautiful. I would lov—I’d really like to see you again and catch up. That is if you want to, of course!” And Din immediately thought that yes, he really, really wanted to. “If you still remember where I live, please don’t hesitate to come by. I’ve sent you the coordinates anyway, just to make sure.” She smiled, and it looked warm and hopeful. “I hope you can come, or at least pass by. I… I miss you, Din. And I hope you’re well…” She sighed, still unsure of everything. Din sighed deeply as well; he also missed her… A lot. “Have a safe flight and take care of yourself, okay? Farewell.”

And with that, she was gone, only the coordinates to her place showing on the monitor. But Din didn’t need them, he remembered exactly where she lived and he’d still remember even if he tried to forget. Just as he still remembered everything else. Her place was also where he’d last seen her all those years ago, when he left even when his heart wanted to stay.

He hadn’t realized how long he was just sitting there, thoughtful, until Grogu knocked on the glass with his metal ball, bringing him back from his trance. Grogu made a questioning noise, that Din now knew how to recognize.

“She’s an old friend of mine. A really great one. We were very close. She traveled onboard the Razor Crest with me for a while, taking care of the ship and, well, taking care of me too, even though I was too stubborn to admit it.” Din chuckled to himself. He turned his head the best he could to look at Grogu in the small space of the starfighter. “She cooks really well too.” The baby’s giant ears perk up and his eyes sparkle as he lets out an expectant noise. Din chuckles again as he readjusts himself on his seat.

“I think we deserve some time away from trouble. What do you think, kid?” Grogu makes another happy sound, showing his dad that he would very much like some peaceful time too. Oh, and good food! Din smiles to himself as he sets the coordinates on the ship’s system.

“Hold on, Grogu. We’re entering hyperspace.”

Ok so actually only one of you asked to be tagged, but it's thanks to all of you who liked/rebloged the post where I questioned if I should write and if anyone would even read it that I gathered to courage to start writing and posting again. I'll only tag you in the introduction so you can decide if you'd like to see what happens next and ask to be tagged or not. Either way, thank you very much for the encouragement you've given me! <3

In The Afterlife-Egon Spengler x Reader

Summary: You're feelings for Egon have always been known to everyone but him, soon enough things take a turn when Egon surprises you with something he knows.

(So I just came from watching Afterlife and that ending had me in tears. Egon has always been my fav and crush out of the Ghostbusters. Anyway expect 2 more parts soon for Ghostbusters 2 and Afterlife. There might be a smut section next time so warning if you don't like. Also thank you all of liking my previous Egon one shot! I published that about a year ago and it had less than 50 likes, now it has a lot! Thanks!!)

"I can't believe your methods of electrocution, are you having fun doing it to guys?" I raise an eyebrow and smirk at Peter who completely ignored what I just said since I knew he secretly liked to torture his students.

"I have no idea what you're saying." He smirked back and continued to make fun of my height.

Peter and Ray just stopped by my office and told me to follow them without explaining much to me. "Where are we even heading?"

When it came to the guys I wasn't informed much if they had plans up ahead. "To the public library! Egon is waiting for us there." Ray explained a bit.

"Bet you're getting yourself excited." Peter said eyeing me. I blushed since I knew exactly what he meant. "I-I have no idea what you mean by that." I tried to hide my embarrassment but failed.

Ray stepped between us and chuckled. "Now now quit teasing, (Y/N). Egon said this was important so let's hurry "

We all hurried and saw the library just up ahead. Peter, Ray, Egon and I are teachers at Columbia University, we all investigate the paranormal. I didn't exactly study or graduate the same thing as them, but I do consider that I did since I am always helping them out, wether it is financially too.

Once we entered the library it was full of people reading or finding any research, up ahead was Egon. Peter ran ahead of me and I saw him knocking on the table where Egon was sitting on the floor. Peter slammed a book making Egon jump and turn to us.

"Egon it''s been a while since I've seen you." I smiled and wrapped my arms around. He stood still, I knew he wasn't much of a hugger but I always liked to be kind to him.

He awkwardly patted my back. "I fail to see how you've missed me so much. Last time we spoke to each other was around eight in the morning when you insisted on buying me breakfast."

"Loose up a bit, Spengler. (Y/N) here lov-"

"Would love to know more on what happening." Ray interrupted Peter. He gave me quick wink and drew Egon's attention back on them.

"Right." Egon looked down at me and smiled a big. "You three need to see this." We each followed Egon deeper into the library until we were below the building.

The place was way darker than upstairs filled with many dusty books and spiderwebs. "It's quite creepy here, don't you think?" I pushed Peter and stepped closer to Egon and grabbed his arm.

He looked more confused than before but said nothing about it. We all silently continued to walk until we saw a transparent figure up ahead. "I-Is that a ghost?" Despite me helping the guys a lot, I never believed in the paranormal until now.

We all shared look and began to argue on who should speak to the ghostly woman who continued to read a book. Thing is, things didn't go exactly as planned. The four of us ran out of the building, and it seemed like our day couldn't get any worse because we were all fired, including myself for hanging out with them...

"Well I guess we have to find a place now. Any ideas?" I asked when we all continued to walk aimlessly around with our belongings.

"I'm sure we weren't all hallucinating but we did see a ghost back there. New York has to be full with ghosts."

"Correct me if I'm wrong, are you suggesting we open up a ghost hunting business?" Peter asked stopping me when I said that.

"Of course." I looked at him and the other both guys. "I mean how hard can it be?" I joked.

"(Y/N) might not be wrong." What?! I turned to Egon who was deep in thought and began to make some calculations on his notebook.

"Egon I was just joking." I chuckle nervously since I know that once he has his mind on something there is no going back.

Ray laughed nervously too, "What the hell? I'm in. What should we do next?"

"You mentioned you own a house.. let's start there." Egon said and we each followed behind him.

It wasn't long when we came back with papers, Ray had sold his childhood home. Ray was internally crying especially since Peter and Egon purchased an old fire department building. The guys and I were moving some things inside and I got my gloves ready and broom to sweep the place up and leave it as clean as I could.

"Look at (Y/N), don't you think she'd be a great housewife, Egon?" Peter continued to tease which made me stop what k was doing and glared at him.

Egon was distracted by a book, thank god. "What was that Peter?"

I heard Ray chuckle when he saw Peter's disappointed face. "You're lucky he was distracted. Seriously, you've like Spengler ever since we graduated why not-"

"Tell him how I feel? You think that's easy?" I asked him and continued sweeping the floors.

"You're right.. but still! You're feelings for him is clear as daylight, well, except for him. I will say you do love teasing and flirting with him." Ray patted my back and began to place some boxes down full of cables and s computer.

I chuckled and did as much as I could for the day. A day turned to three and things were a whole lot different, the guys plugged their equipment in and stored all their books and information on a shelf.

"(Y/N), this is Janine our receptionist. Would you mind showing her around, and by around I mean take her to her desk." Peter mindlessly said while smoking a cigarette and continued to read something.

So rude. I smiled at the woman with large glasses and gave her a small tour of the place since Peter didn't have time for it. "Follow me, and this is the front desk."

"I can tell." She said looking at it up and down. "When would I get paid?"

"I'm sure Peter will be paying you every weekend." I passed when I saw Janine looking behind me. I glanced back and saw Egon walking past us with a twinkie in his mouth and couple of tools on his hands.

I squinted my eyes when I knew Janine's look. "That's Egon. He's the one who builds all of the equipment-"

"Do ya think you can introduce me to him." Ray who wasn't far from us kept an eye. "Maybe later, Janine." He said chuckling and turned to me.

"(Y/N)?! Would you mind helping Egon out?"

"With pleasure!" I excused myself and ran over to where Egon has spent most of his time. I knocked on the door and saw him fidgeting with a few cables and buttons.

"(Y/N), I thought you were busy with Ray." He said not looking up from his work.

I hummed and stepped into the room and sat down on the table he was working on. "I wasn't doing anything, can I maybe help you out?"

"I don't think I'll be needing any of your help at the moment." I pouted and dug something out of my pockets and laid them in front of him.

"I know how much you love sweets, so I bought some on my way here earlier." I smiled and saw him glance up at me. He adjusted his glasses when he realized I had been wearing a skirt and was sitting right to his face since he was kneeling on the floor.

He always looked cute whenever he'd be flustered. "I appreciate the small gesture..here look." I hopped off of the table when he got up on his feet and showed me what he was working on.

"I call it a proton pack. This will help us catching ghosts. I finished building the guys one, in fact this one is yours." He looked away from me and took something out of his lab coat. It was a small screwdriver.

"Mind helping me out?" Was Egon finally opening up to me? I reached out my hand and gladly accepted his offer.

I saw him smile when I took interest in his work. "Here move this to this section, be careful you don't get zapped by the electricity. These things haven't been tested yet."

Egon instructed me step by step on how to adjust the proton pack and make it useful. I added a battery and some lights along with mixing a few cables together.

"It's been a while since we've spent some time together." I spoke up and saw a couple of pictures he had on his shelf and wall. Most of them were his diplomas and his time studying at college, I noticed he had a picture of the four of at graduating.

"I only use my time carefully whenever I feel is necessary. I only sleep for 14 minutes and find it quite complicated to..hang out with people." He said finishing up my proton pack since he insisted on me letting him do the rest.

I tilted my head and continued to get a good look at him. I sat down and rested my hand on my cheek and couldn't help but notice how handsome he is, for some reason he always looks good with those glasses on and his way of thinking even if that might bother many.

My family weren't fond of me choosing this life despite me trying to get them a better life and be economically. They had mixed feeling on Egon too when they first met him, he kept on talking about his off collection of spores and fungus then proceeded to tell them on how he wanted people to take a look into his brain.

That freaked them out a bit and they clearly knew of my feelings for him, nevertheless they knew they couldn't do anything on that matter.

"(Y/N)?" I jumped up a bit and didn't realize how long I had been staring at him.

Egon raised an eyebrow and I saw him smirking to himself. "It'll last longer if you take a picture." I felt my entire face burning up. "I'm sorry! I-I..uhh.." someone came knocking on the door.

Peter peeked his head in and smirked when he saw us and crossed his arms over his chest. "Would you look at that!" His eyes went over to me and I have him a warning look.

"Anyway lovebirds, I'm here to inform you all that I have a date!"

A woman appeared and gave him an odd look "It's not a date. Excuse me, but Mr. Venkman got it all wrong."

Peter rolled his eyes and fought the urge to laugh. "(Y/N), Egon. This is Dana." Peter introduced to us the curly haired lady. Not long after he, Dana and Egon went to inspect her apartment.

Meanwhile they were gone I fought a few jumpsuits and had a brilliant idea. My grandmother taught me how to sew, so I'll see each of the guys last names onto the uniforms. This way people will take their work seriously.

***************

"(Y/N) you go with Egon and tell us where that slimy bastard flew off." Peter told us when we saw him covered in slime.

"Make sure to save up a sample. I want to run a couple of tests." Egon reminded Peter who was disgusted with the liquid he was covered in.

Ray held a cigarette in his mouth and departed from the group too. We reached another hallway inside the hotel we were called in, the guys of course didn't waste a minute on coming here. Each of us had a proton pack on our bag alongside it's fun to capture the ghosts and a trap too.

Right now Egon and I were together again. "So.. we're alone again.. don't you think this while place seems.. romantic?"

"By romantic do you mean the people who occasionally stay in one of these rooms to share intercourse? Because I don't find the appeal in it."

Damn it. "I-I don't mean that, I'm not Peter." I tried telling him and saw a wicked smile on his face. "I enjoy spending time with you too." So he was teasing me.

I lightly punched his shoulder and smiled too. "It's just..we never were too close before. I genuinely appreciate spending time with you." I whispered.

Egon stopped walking and so did I. There was slime all over the wall. "Venkman. Stantz. I need you both here, I think I found slimer." Egon informed the guys and turned to me.

"You think you can handle aiming for it?" I nodded my head and he gave me a thumbs up. "Alright let's go." Egon reached down and grabbed my arm, he began to lead me to the ball room.

*************

"Alrighty then!" Ray, Egon and Peter began to Ross all the expensive well decorated tables aside, the plates and glasses shattering on the floor. They even blocked the entrance do the owner wouldn't come burstng in.

The green ghost now referred as Slimer had been munching on food and the guys began to try and grab him. I reached back to grab my gun and pressed all buttons, just when I aimed it to grab Slimer something went wrong.

The proton pack malfunctioned and a bit of smoke came out of it. "Damn it!" I cursed and got it off of me and grabbed the ghost trap instead. I at least needed to be of help.

The guys aimed their weapons at Slimer who was on top of a chandelier. The ghost squeeled and tried getting away but couldn't, the bolts and lightening was wrapped around it, I threw the trap over to it and pressed down. The ghost trap opened and slowly Slimer was placed right inside of it.

We all cheered when it was done. I grabbed the trap and examined it, tiny bit of smoke came out of it and if smelled burnt.

"We came we saw we kicked it's ass!" Peter cheered when he opened the doors and the owner and everyone else was surprised at not us, but the mess behind.

The owner argued that he wouldn't pay us but Ray told me to give him the trap and release the ghost, not long after we all got paid. "Pleasure doing business with you!"

We all grabbed our belongings and we're off to the Ghostbusters headquarters. Ray told me to order pizza for them all and we all celebrated with junk food and music. I noticed Janine talking to Egon before she left home, that made me feel a bit jealous.

"Now that's a shame." Peter came and saw the now almost toasted proton pack which belonged to me.

"There's nothing to worry about." Egon stepped between us and grabbed it from my hands and examined it himself. He opened it up and hummed to himself.

"Just by looking at us I can already tell what went wrong. It'll take me some time to actually fix this one."

Peter shrugged his shoulders not really caring about it much since the job was done. "That means we need a new recruit then! Fine, Ray will print up some paper."

Ray looked at us confused since he was distracted with the pizza and drink in his hands. I chuckled and saw Peter closing up the place. We all started living here. The guys shared a room upstairs while I had one seperate downstairs by the basement where they usually work.

We all celebrated but I realized Egon had wandered off to probably take care of the broken proton pack. Ray was a bit drunk and Peter had to help him up on his feet when it got late.

"(Y/N), would you mind telling Egon about heading to sleep? Maybe he'll listen to you but we have a commercial to do tomorrow." Peter told me before he headed up the stairs.

"Sure, I'll tell him to rest up once I am done here."

"Oh! And the uniforms were great, (Y/N). Thanks for making them." Peter smiled and winked before he left. I gathered up the trash and placed them all on a black garbage bag.

I looked up and saw that it was nearly midnight. I had already gotten rid of my Ghostbusters uniform and was ready for bed. I turned off the rest of the lights on the building and spotted the basement was lit up.

"Egon it's already late, you should rest up." I saw him still with his glasses on paying his full attention on the proton pack.

"I'll be done in a few minutes. It was careless of me to give this one to you before fully testing it, I blame myself for it. You could have gotten hurt." I heard him saw.

I frowned and walked over to the open door to the side of the workplace and lit up a small lamp which illuminated my very small room. I was ready to go to bed but couldn't because Egon was still up.

"Don't out the blame yourself, Egon. I'm at fault here for not testing it as soon as I finished putting the cables in." Egon sighed since he knew me too well. I would start an argument if he didn't listen to me.

"I don't want you worn yourself out.." I muttered and saw hums stand up.

"This feels strange." I raise an eyebrow and saw that he was confused. "I could've sworn I placed this in it." Egon held up a very small item.

"Each of the proton packs have this. For some reason when you were working with me, I forgot what I had been doing and didn't place this in. I've never forgotten something so important, so why now?"

I blushed and had a feeling that I knew the answer. "Egon..have you ever been with someone..ever felt attraction?"

Egon stayed silent and still couldn't comprehend what I was trying to say until he sighed and looked at me. "Are you asking me this because you have a deep level of attraction towards me."

Now it was my time to look at him confused. "H-How do you?"

Egon smirked and pointed at his diplomas which were framed and hanging on the wall. "Right..I-I thought you..how long?"

"I came to a definite conclusion of it when you grabbed into my arm back in the library. I wasn't so sure on it back then but that made things simpler."

I hung my head low ashamed of him figuring things out. "I believe you look quite..adorable when you are flustered." Egon made me look up at him. My heart pounded faster and I was positive he could hear it.

"I guess there's no more hiding from it huh. Dr Spengler?"

Egon moved my hair to the side and leaned down to press his lips against mine. I was certainly surprised, I guess what they say is true, it's always the quietest ones who surprise the most. Egon had one of his hands on my hip and the other behind my neck deepening the kiss.

I decided to be bolder and see where things would be leading us. While Egon continued to kiss me, I moved my hands down and started pulling on his belt and slowly began to unbutton his pants. Egon quickly stopped me from going any further and grabbed my wrist to lead us into my small room.

The door closed behind us and quickly our clothes were scattered across the floor with him pinning me down on my bed. It was weird, I felt too exposed, we had never done anything like this before despite me making many stupid and sexual comments back in the day. Egon made me feel loved and not uncomfortable at all.

All the way through he made me sure to let me know how beautiful I am. He parted my legs and kissed my neck. I reached over to place his glasses by the bed side table and I wrapped my arms around his neck and closed my eyes when I felt a feeling I had never felt before, mixed with pleasure and pain.

I held onto him tight. It felt right and warm to be in his arms completely giving up to him and putting my trust on him entirely. I closed my eyes shut and enjoyed every single moment of this. What I really did hope, is that this won't end for just for one night.

Maybe, Dana can give me some advice on Egon, to feel more comfortable around me and actually take this relationship on the right direction.

The Bookshop Keeper - Dabi mini series PT.4

Masterlist A/N: I’ll try to get these out more routinely!

Chapters: pt.1 pt.2 EC pt.3

A few weeks go by and the two of you settle into a nice routine, you’d wake up at 7 to get ready to open up the shop. While you’d get ready Dabi would get up to make you breakfast, and then with a peck on your forehead he’d send you off to work. You spent most of the day in the shop while Dabi did, well you weren’t completely sure what he did all day, but when you got home he’d be making dinner. Which is what he was doing now, ‘this is much better than staying at the shop all night’ you thought, feeling really happy with the domesticity of it all, It felt so natural. At the same time though, it had you craving more, more of Dabi, not just the forehead kisses and cuddles (both of which you absolutely loved). You honestly weren’t sure what was going on between the two of you and it was starting to make you feel anxious that maybe he didn’t see things the way you did.

“Dabi?”

“What’s up doll?”

“I l-like spending time with you,” he smirks inching closer to you,

“Yeah? Not tired of me yet?” Shaking your head you lean into him.

“No never, if anything I want to be closer to you,”

Dabi feels his chest squeeze, he can’t,

“Closer? Doll you’re practically laying on me,” he chuckles trying to divert the conversation elsewhere. He hadn’t thought much of it when he accidentally fell into a routine with you, but now he was hyper aware of it. You’re so sweet to him, he didn’t want to have to hurt you, but if you’re already forming an attachment maybe he should start planning his exit.

Too lost in his thoughts he subconsciously leans into your hand that’s reaching up to cup his face. His eyes meet yours and he notices the shyness in them, “all my life i've jumped from place to place,

I’ve never really felt at ease but,

With you I finally feel free,

And I know it’s a but soon but to me,

You feel like home”

The room grows silent, the two starts at each other for a long time, and though they don’t know it, their hearts began to beat in sync

1,2,3&4 1,2,3&4

“I love you” “I need to leave”

They speak in time, both eyes widening. Ones full with tears and the others with fear. He jumps back putting in a distance that feels much larger than it is,

“I should go,” “okay”

He leaves looking for a distraction, you stay but everywhere you try to hide, he’s there. His scent lingers in your bed, his books and notes in the living room. His presence, usually comforting, encompasses you, made you feel like you were suffocating and drowning in him. You’re quick to pull on a hoodie and make your way to the shop, hoping to find comfort in your second home. You walk in through the back door, being weary of the dark night surrounding you. As you walk towards your office you hear some shuffling between the aisles, you walk closer silently picking up a book. You reach the aisle and see a familiar figure, “wha-“ you both say in shock, “what are you doing here?” “Needed a distraction, you?”

“Needed an escape” you mumble, irritated

“God, it’s like you’re everywhere,” he huffs,

“Dude you came to MY shop” you retort and he gives you a face of disgust,

“Don't call me that and I didn’t think you’d come here. It’s late and dangerous for you to be out,”

“I can go out whenever I want,” the two of you stare at each other in annoyance,

“Whatever I'm staying on this side so you get that side”

“You’re such a baby” you grumble walking to the other side of the shop to find the book you had earlier.

After finding it you walk into your office, but Dabi was already in there, sitting on your comfy chair. You ignore his ugly stare and sit behind him on the couch, the two of you get lost in your books for a while before you accidentally break the trance,

“Ugh this guy is so stupid, he should’ve been honest with her from the beginning,” Dabi’s head shot up in defense,

“Maybe he was trying to protect her,”

“Maybe she doesn’t need protection,”

“Maybe if she knew everything from the start she wouldn’t have wanted him,” you look up to meet his eyes, his eyes bore into yours with emotions he doesn’t even know how to express,

“Are you hiding something from me?” He scoffs at you,

“Is that why you left?” He picks up his book once more but you demand his attention,

“Dabi! What aren’t you saying?”

He smirks but his eyes are cold, “there’s a lot I’m not saying doll,”

“Tell me.” You demand, “what do you want me to say? You’re so beautiful and I can’t imagine my life with you now… y/n we’re not in one of your fucking books. It doesn’t work like that in real life,” he almost loses his resolve when he sees the anger in your eyes.

“Fuck. You.” You don’t bother wiping the angry tear that falls, you held the same stone faced expression Dabi was currently wearing, “if you needed a place to stay why.. why’d get so close with me? If you just wanted to be friends why’d you flirt all the time ? I know my life isn’t a fucking romance novel! (wink wink) You’re not the only one with secrets Dabi,” your nose flares in anger and you push yourself off the couch, you start to walk away but Dabi’s hand stops you. “You wouldn’t be able to handle it” you turn, exasperated “Dabi i don’t know what you’ve been through and you don’t have to tell me but shit, you don’t have to play with my emotions if you just wanted to be friends,”

“Why are you so fucking nice? Do you know how hard it is to not like you? But you’re so fucking fragile, I couldn’t do that to you,”

“Do what? Break my heart? You wouldn’t be the first and probably wouldn’t be the last, and I’m not fragile. I'm more than capable of holding my own.”

“I praised tour writing and an hour later I heard you crying about it in the shower,” your face heats up,

“Blame that in the mommy issues,” you straighten your back, “but I’ve made my feelings for you clear, if you’re too scared to pursue something with me then you can fuck off. I won’t have you use me and my kindness whenever you please,” your sudden assertiveness caught him off guard but he’s quick to hide the shock from his face, “you won’t like me once you know,” “hmpf,” you start to walk away again, “but I want to know you,” “know me?” “I want to know everything about you,” “why?” “Because I want you to know me too, but” he takes a step back and averts his eyes, “but you’re too scared?” He scowls at that “I’m not a bitch or nothing but yeah more or less,” you giggle, “so what then?” “So we figure it out as we go, but yeah I’m willing to try,” you smile, finally, you stand on your toes and kiss him gingerly, finally. The two of you walk home and in hand. Once you get home he drags you to bed, where he hovers above you and kisses you so sweetly it makes your toes curl. But before anything more can happen he pulls away, “before we get deeper into this, there’s something you need to know.”

“...okay?” “I’m part of a group called the league of villains,” he searches your eyes intensely looking for a sign of change, “... that’s kind of a cheesy name” you stifle giggles, “is that your big bad secret?” “What? You’re not like scared or anything?” “No, you must’ve had a reason for joining right? Don’t they follow stains ideology?” “Yeah kinda.. you know about that?” “Yeah he made some valid points,” “no the LOV? No one really knows about us and what we do,” “yeah I don’t know much but I’ve heard customers talk about it from time to time. I told you my shop is for ANYONE to escape from their reality,” Dabi kisses you again,

“Stop surprising me” he mumbled against your lips.

Apogee & Perigee

The toy robots shown above are based on a series of Japanese whiskey commercials from about 1983-1984. The closest comparison I can think of is like Spuds MacKenzie in the US.

The toys above are remote control (R/C, top picture) and simple wind-up (W/U, bottom picture). They have poseable arms and heads. The RC pair was 3500 yen, the wind-up pair 580 yen (MSRP in 1984). These toys (and others) were made by Bandai in Japan and Hong Kong, and also exported to the US.

The robots are named Apogee (the taller one, who is male) and Perigee (the shorter one, who is female).

These robots are (as best as I can determine) from a series of TV commercials made by Tohokushinsha Film Corp (株式会社東北新社), for Nikka 'Mild' Whiskey (ニッカウヰスキー株式会社) [then and now owned by Asahi]. The toy packaging bears a licensing sticker from Tohokushinsha. Sometimes the pair are called "Mild Robo" or "Mild Boy" and "Mild Girl" on the packaging.

I can't tell if the original commercials used practical RC robots, live action puppets or miniatures, or stop-motion miniatures, but I do know that a functional (RC), 'life size' pair of robots were shown at at least one Japanese toy fair in 1984.

In the western import packaging (completely different from the Japanese packaging), Bandai re-branded the robots as "Lov-Bo-Gi-Bots," sometimes shortened to "Lov-Bots." Each individual toy robot was also renamed, loosely reflecting it's main play feature. The toys were also packed with a mini story book explaining their fictive origin, and with a mail-in offer for an undescribed 'surprise.'

I'm impressed by how adorable these robots are in their original form, and how much effort Bandai put into rebranding them for the western market.
