i know benjamin had a lot on his plate already but hear me out... an au where ayin for his reasons puts ben in charge of extraction team and not the arbiter who must have deserved to be there (not stating the reason. so don't immediately hate on A and all that. see the full text below for a load of details, and also english translation of text on pics 4 & 5)
it has the atziluth sephirot swap their colors (i've already did a post on color swap btw. but purely color) and the age of their filtered appearance; the full color swap (not just color change of department and uniform but colors of their hair, their bodies too) is required for original scheme to stay, with the colors corresponding to fixed sephirot and so on. names, too, would swap to what their respective kabbalah nodes should be and former benjamin is kind of pissed about his mentor's decision to give him work which is enough to drive a meaty human to insanity, even though after his escape he returned and tried to pry ayin off the plan in the earlier time, and overall he did all he could for the man. for him, the virtue would still be about the past and the future though as he'd have to come to terms with what ayin did to him, and his meltdown would probably have not the 'i want you to stay here with me and live at least somehow, i don't want to go' but instead 'i will make this place your tomb just like you did for me'. i guess it kinda sounds close to angela's feelings in ruina and that's also why both atziluth sephirot would've probably backed up her rebellion idk. its a fun little idea which blooms into a shitton of different things to think about
oh and also pics 4 and 5 have roland converse with library version of ben (he MUST be named binah at that point but i KNOW this will just bring confusion) and it's the quote from their first talk in original game. "i've dedicated my entire life to the wish of a single person", then roland asks "and the person's a rotten egg, eh?" to which ben explodes with OH THAT'S AN UNDERSTATEMENT. they'd probably get along as well over their similar feelings about ayin, which is funny. still not sure whether the respective floors would've been swapped for them... i mean either hokma still stands for religion and binah for philosophy and ben being the current binah would take the philosophy floor, or it's just color swap and religion would be dark with stars and philosophy the white hall and all. the anomalies of both floors fit very well with the color schemes and overall topic and i dont wanna meddle into that really but ehh... food for thought ig

I have finally, hundreds of years after everyone else, started playing Dragon Age....2
(the first one didn't run with sound and i wasn't in the mood to fix it because i was cranky today okay-another time...i will get context eventually don't worry i have at least 2 braincells w/ me)
and the main thing I noticed is
Every companion sure knows how to make a fucking entrance huh?
#txts#even the few i care about less than others-like the introduction? always amazing#....i may have forgotten Aveline exists halfway through tho so idk much about her....vibes i guess#i set her aside for being pouty about us doing illegal shit here and there because templars bla bla bla#and then i just forgot to stop playing or go to her again#....eventually....i will do her mission too#don't bless this camera tho i am fighting it at every turn#whoever thought move camera and interact should be the same key....I wanna have a conversation#bc half the times i try to just click on smth i move my view up to the high skies#also can someone give Isabela pants-girl you're clothes were not modeled to keep...not clipping through#i am trying to be respectful here okay#anders is the type of guy who falls in love with you if you're halfway nice to him i guess#and fenris keeps being mad at me for sticking up for mages#bc apparently demons get them or smth#which i SHOULD PROBABLY LEARN ABOUT#but rn my logic is: seems like a person and my sister here is nice so#.....i should either play game1 or get more story context i feel like....or maybe its just racism idk#(or complicated feelings bc his master was a mage and usually ppl with more power than others will become exploitative and assholes and-#that all is just a general philosophy of precaution further intensified by whats apparently a 'natural' inclination towards-#the demonic and spirits and where magic or whatever the source of those powers is what connects those different beings in some way-#which translates to others as an inherent inclination for evil but just because smth evil looms over you doesnt mean YOU are evil#that'd mean anyone in a kingdom ruled by an asshole is evil which isn't how this works#but ofc if you throw in religious zealot...y and such it's gets more.......gross#+the blight/archdemons and whatnot are like THE problem of all time so much so that it's like...dividing it into times#like we don't go the first century or 1928#we got the 4th blight and such#ANYWAY as said...idk so i will go ruminate in my thoughts and whatnot....and also go to sleep

Boarding School
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Teacher! Anakin x fem! reader
౨ৎ⋆˚。⋆
warnings: sexual content, implied smut, age gap, fingering, sex, teacher-student relationship
The reader is 18+ in the fic!!
˚₊‧꒰ა ♡ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚
this fanfic is inspired by Lana Del Rey’s unreleased song “Boarding School”
please excuse any typos you might see :,)
I really hope that y’all will enjoy this <3
⋆ ˚。⋆୨୧˚
You recently found out that you were going to a new boarding school.
Your parents sent you off to a new one since in your previous school, you had problems with some girls. You didn’t really wanna to go to a new school since you have kind of settled in in your old one, but you didn’t have a choice.
It was your first day in the new boarding school. An only-girls school. The moment you stepped in some teachers showed you your new room and you had to share it with another girl. It was pink and baby blue. Your bed had some bows around it and overall it was a really pretty room. After settling in you decided to go check out the rest of the school. Since it was the first day and there were no lessons today.
You were wearing your school uniform, a white shirt, a red tie, a pair of white thigh socks, black shoes and your red pleaded skirt. You look so pretty. You start walking around the corridors of the school, checking out the new classrooms and everything. You were not watching where you were going at some point when all of a sudden you accidentally fell onto someone. You looked up to the person. It was a teacher. You embarrassedly looked up to him and started apologising.
“Oh, I’m so sorry, sir, I was not watching where I
was going..!”
You really felt embarrassed after this…
He warmly smiled and looked down to you.
“Oh, don’t even worry about it, it’s fine!”
You were so embarrassed and looked down,
then he said
“Are you a new student? It’s the first day of school today and I haven’t seen you before here.”
You looked up to him and smiled
“Yes! I am a new student! I just came this morning. My name is y/n..”
“What a nice name…”
he replied.
“Have they assigned you with a class? I think it’s on the papers that they gave you when you arrived here this morning.”
Your eyes widen, realising that you do not know in which class you actually are.
“Oh, I forgot to actually check it… silly me..”
You say and laugh awkwardly.
“Well, I’d suggest that you actually go check it out because the lessons start tomorrow and I don’t think that you would like to lose one of your classes right?”
He says and winks at you.
You instantly blush..
He’s a teacher, and he’s already making you feel so…so.. hot..? You couldn’t explain it, but you were feeling things.
You give him a smile and walk back to your room.
The next day you wake up and check out in which class you are. The papers say C1.
You get dressed, eat breakfast and fix your schoolbag. Then you head out to your lesson.
You walk in the class and sit in the front seat. After a while you hear the door of the classroom open and your new teacher walks in. It’s the same teachers from the corridors yesterday. The moment this happens is when you realise that he never actually told you his name.
Then, he sits in front of everyone in the class and says
“Good morning everyone, I’ll be your new philosophy teacher for the year.. I am Anakin Skywalker, but you can call me Mr Skywalker. I also do tutoring lessons in case everyone has problems with philosophy, so could you always can count on me.”
he says and smiles. I look up to him and smile too. He notices me and winks playfully. I feel a wave of amusement and embarrassment wash over me. He’s my teacher and feel like that about him, but he’s already so nice to me and sweet, you said to yourself.
Days pass pretty fast. You’ve started your school year in a really good mood. You love your new philosophy teacher more than any other teachers. Whenever you see him, you talk to him and you guys have really good conversations. One day decide to finally take the step and ask him if he can tutor you.
After class, you walked up to him.
“Excuse me Mr Skywalker….from what I remember on our first lesson you said to us and we can ask you for help with tutoring.. I’ve been wanting to ask you for awhile about it, but I was just too shy I guess..”
You say, and laugh anxiously.
He gave you a warm smile and replied
“Of course…plus you are the only student who actually asked for me to tutor them, so whenever you feel like it let me know.We can arrange the days and all.. oh and I have some free time right now. We could sit here, on this class, if you would like me to help you out with anything hmm?”
you smiled in excitement.
“Oh yes absolutely! I do have some free time right now… and I would love it if you could help me right now..”
You said and giggled.
You guys start studying together. He’s a really good tutor. Without realising it, hours have passed..
Anakin takes off his glasses and smiles, while looking at you.
“I don’t get why you want me to tutor you… you are so good..”
He smiled once again.
You put a strand of your hair behind your ear and reply to him.
“Honestly…sir… I don’t really feel like it.. I mean I do try my best, but it feels like I need more help.. but I really appreciate the way you speak to me and the way you help me with anything… thank you sir”
He’s sitting right next to you with his hand on the desk while looking at you.. you guys are so close.. your lips are so close to each other..
just as you guys are so close to kissing he moves a bit away..
“The time has passed fast huh..? Perhaps you better if you went back to your dorm doll.. it’s getting late..”
you smile, awkwardly and reply
“Oh yes sir, you’re absolutely right… I will head back to my dorm.. and thank you… for today.. I’d like to do that more often..”
You leave the classroom.
After an while you’re back in your dorm.
You sit by the window and check out the view outside of the building. As you check out the trees, you watch your teacher under a tree, smoking a cigarette. You keep looking at him. And that is the moment you realise that you actually feel much more things about your teacher… you start noticing how hot he is when he smoking… the way he pushes his hair back, out of his face… the way he fixes his glasses.. it’s all so..attractive…
You didn’t care that you felt like that in the first place, you just wanted him.. so bad..
Days pass once again. He keeps on tutoring you. You guys get much closer than expected.
You are talking about more personal matters which leads both of you into realising that you are actually much similar than you thought..
The following week, you two decided to have a lesson much later that day. When nobody was walking around the classrooms and you had more privacy.
After an hour into the lesson, you guys are so close again…this time you felt like you needed to do that… you couldn’t resist, and as your lips were so close…You just leaned closer and kissed him..
He did not break the kiss. Instead, he put his hands on your waist as you were sitting in the chair and kissed you more. Then he set you on the desk and kept kissing you as his hands traveled around your body.
“I’ve been wanting this for so long doll… I’ve been wanting you for so long…”
He exclaims.
You couldn’t believe it.
You wanted him in the exact same way.
You stop the kiss and look up to him once again
“I’ve been wanting that too.. I want you here..right now, take me here..!”
You exclaimed. He smirked and laughed quietly.
Adrenaline washed over you.
He lifted your skirt as you were laying on the desk. Then he moved your panties to the side.
“And those pretty pink panties that you are wearing… such a shame that they are gonna be ruined by me baby..”
he starts fingering you
You keep moaning with your hand covering your mouth. Trying to be as quiet as possible..
After a while of prepping you.. he enters you.
He moves slowly.
“Baby? I’m gonna try to be gentle, okay? Tell me if anything hurts, hmm?”
you shake your head and smile warmly.
You spent the whole night getting pounded on a desk by your philosophy teacher.
After you guys finished, Anakin kissed your cheek and smiled
“You did so good for me doll..”
Turns out that the boarding school will be fun <3

dumb conversations, we lose track of time
Tumblr media
“I love you.”
“I love you too.” He bent over to kiss you, bringing both of his icy hands to your face, but you didn’t care. The kiss was everything, and you brought your bodies over to the wall as you continued, one of his legs now in between yours. “Fuck, I think…I’m gonna miss you so bad.”

You stifled your giggles in the droop of your cardigan, but Taeyong still flushed red. Your cheeks puffed out as you fought the urge to snort in his face. “I’m so sorry.”
He rolled his eyes, instinctively going to run his hands through his now non-existent hair, making you double over in laughter. “Alright, miss, that’s enough. Hilarious, I know.”
“Noooo Taeyong, don’t be embarrassed.” You ran over, pinching his cheeks in your hands, feeling his skin hot and elastic under your thumbs. “You’re so cute. Like…Anpanman!”
“I know you love jjingppang, jagi, but that was so uncalled for.” You strung his arm into your body, letting the both of you walk away from the dim lights of the restaurant. “Why? Are you hungry? But didn’t you just eat?”
“There is always space for dessert, hon. Come on, we’ve been together 2 and a half years now, and you still don’t know my philosophies?” You were teasing, having fun, but as you watched another couple walk in front of you, hands gripped tightly together, the shadows in the trees dancing across their bodies, you felt something sharp poke inside you. You gulped the feeling down, forcing a smile, even though you knew he wasn’t watching.
“You’ll get sick if you eat too much bread again.” You shook your head, scoffing. “That was one time, Taeyong. And it was in Japan. I would definitely have eaten that much again.”
“Really? I recall you crying in the bathroom, whining to me about why I didn’t stop you.” You knocked him playfully, feeling his scent permeate your senses and bring you back to those times in Japan. He was here now, a solid body standing right next to you, brushing up against you, but…You felt a sudden rush of emotion, but you could see Mark’s car now, and you decided not to bring up what you had been thinking the entire time.
“So-“
“I’m sorry I’m leaving you.” The words surprised you, even though it was something both of you had been holding back the entire time. “I’m sorry I have to do this.”
“Don’t be silly.” You were standing in front of him now, the white streetlights illuminating every line on his face, too scared to look into his eyes. “You have to do it, right? And, you should be proud of yourself. It’s hard work you are willing to dedicate yourself to for a while. And, I can always take care of myself.”
“You have Mark.”
“No, I can take care of myself.” You nodded as if you were trying to convince yourself instead of just him. Your eyes watered, working against every restraint you had. “Please, just…it will be fine. I will still see you. Just, not as often. But you’ll still be here.” He held both your hands, bringing them to his chest, and you were looking at your shoes, watching them get blurrier, feeling him pull your body towards his.
You couldn’t do it. Not for the last time.
“Bye.” You let go of his hands, turning swiftly around and walking towards the parked car at a pace that seemed closer to running.
The warmth enveloped you, and you hastily rubbed off the tears, almost embarrassed at the thought of crying in front of him. Both of them. “H-hey, Mark.”
“You okay?” You nodded, and he brought your hand to his lips, lightly pecking it before he shifted gears.
The apartment was quiet at first, as if it already sensed the loss of one tenant. “Just squeezing past, babe.” Mark’s shoulder brushed yours as the keys jangled in his fingers, his steps retreating towards the bathroom. You walked over to the couch, looking at the empty cake box, the one Doyoung had bought to celebrate. The cake crumbs that littered the floor, the frosting on the couch – you didn’t even have the heart to be mad.
“Is that frosting…on the couch?”
You chuckled weakly, sniffling. “Yeah. I thought I told Jungwoo not to make a mess.”
“You didn’t. You’re so quiet around the boys. So shy.” Mark’s breath tickled your neck, his lips grazing the skin hidden underneath your cardigan. He kissed you gently, bringing one hand to your shoulder, the one he had brushed. “It’s what I love about you.”
You smiled, watching Mark’s shadow cover you as he moved to sit next to you on the couch. “What a mess. This isn’t driving you crazy?” You shook your head, but you smiled, a little bit more genuine this time. Curling up next to Mark, you basked in the heat of his body. He pressed his nose to the top of your head, inhaling your scent. “You smell good.”
“You trying to get laid, Lee?” You felt his chest shake as he laughed, both a little awkwardly and without holding back, like he always did. You thought of all the times you fell asleep in his lap, feeling him stroke your body soothingly as you both waited for Taeyong to get home.
You sat up, turning, looking deep into Mark’s eyes. “I love you.” You kissed him, pulling his bottom lip with your mouth as you pulled away. He ran his hands up your back, connecting lips as you climbed onto his lap, so quick to bring your body against his. He held your hips in place when you stared to move, groaning softly as he pulled away from your mouth. “Are you sure?”
“What, am I sure I love you?”
“No, I mean,” he gasped shortly when you kissed his collarbone, a spot only you knew how to tease. “Easy, baby. I mean, are you okay with doing it tonight?”
“Why wouldn’t I be?” Your voice came out sharper than you intended, and you hated yourself in that moment for ruining it all. Desperate to stop him from continuing, you shut him up with a kiss, moving his hands from your hips so you could grind against his growing bulge. Your fingers in his hair, you dug your knees on the couch so you could push your chest onto his face. He moaned this time, tugging at the ends of your hoodie to signal you to take it off. You hissed when the cold hit your bare torso, Mark unhooking your bra clasp as you shivered. “You cold, sweetheart?” You nodded, but you were sitting back onto his lap, both of you shrugging off your bottoms as you talked. The cold drew goosebumps on your skin, but you felt wet and hot in the pits of your stomach.
“Fuck, so tight.” Mark threw his head back as you cried out, feeling the stretch harder than you remembered. He held you in place with a hand on the small of your back, another on your thigh. “Shhh. Come closer to me. Good girl.” He continued praising you as you sunk deeper onto his length, inches buried inside you. “W-wait.” You pressed a hand to his stomach, warning him not to move as you scrunched your eyes shut. “So fucking big.” Mark laughed, moving your hand away and bringing your chest closer to his mouth. As he licked and nipped at your body, you began to relax, your breath quickening with every passing second. His dick jumped inside you, making you whimper. “You ready, sweet girl?”
You tasted the tears before you felt them, streaked down your face. “Please.” you begged, and he began to thrust up into you. “Fuck, Mark, M-Mark!” Your voice carried through the apartment as he rolled his hips into you. “Come on, baby, that’s it. You’re our good girl, right?” You sobbed, bringing one hand to your mouth to quieten yourself, but he pulled the hand away. “If you’re gonna cum, you better do it screaming my name. You understand?” He held your chin into place. “Use your words.”
“Yes, yes, p-please. Fuck,” You gasped, feeling the ripples of pleasure run through your body. “I’m close! Please, Mark, can I-“
“Yeah, good girl, baby. I’m close too.” His voice was raspy, his thrusts sloppy as he reached his own high. You shut your eyes, feeling your thighs constrict as you came. You breathed heavily, the tears still running down your face. When the ringing sound stopped post-orgasm, you heard yourself crying.
“Hey, hey. You did well, sweetheart. It’s okay, I’m right here.” You nodded, feeling your body slump against him. “Can I pull out? Does it hurt? I didn’t hurt you, right?”
You looked into his eyes, feeling the way he held you so securely in his arms. “I miss him. I miss the three of us. I know it’s silly, because it technically hasn’t happened yet, but,” you sighed. “I didn’t know how hard it would be until it really happened.”
Mark hummed in agreement, wiping away your tears. “Of course. That’s not silly. And, I love you too, okay? I’m here for you.” You wrapped your arms around his body, breathing in his scent, feeling Mark pull your hoodie around the both of you. “You never hurt me, Mark.”
You both woke up with a jolt when the knocking started. You climbed off Mark as your eyes shot open, and the both of you started frantically dressing, as if the person had entered straight away. “Who’s coming over so late?” Mark grumbled.
“Hopefully Jungwoo to clean the couch.” You muttered, but Mark was rushing to open the door after peeking through the peephole, and you frowned.
“Hyung.”
You knew it was him. But you couldn’t even move. In that moment, you were frozen in time.
“Hi, jagi.” His body stood looming over yours, his face red from the cold outside. You didn’t know what to say, rubbing the itch on one of your ankles to kill time.
“You’re…you’re here.”
“Yeah. It’s my apartment too, right?” He smirked. “Why, is the Anpanman look enough to make you forget me?” You laughed, sniffling, hitting him lightly on the chest. You noticed Mark raise an eyebrow, left out of the inside joke. Your stomach churned, your heart pining for a loss that suddenly was not lost, and it all felt so out of place.
“I love you.”
“I love you too.” He bent over to kiss you, bringing both of his icy hands to your face, but you didn’t care. The kiss was everything, and you brought your bodies over to the wall as you continued, one of his legs now in between yours. “Fuck, I think…I’m gonna miss you so bad.”
“You’ll live.” You scoffed, pushing him away. He laughed, the smile lines on his face making your heart soar. “I don’t think I’m gonna miss these stupid jokes.”
He kissed your forehead. “I think you will.” You rolled your eyes, but he was right. As always. You ran a hand up his chest, then, underneath the hoodie he was wearing. You gasped in an exaggerated, ditsy way, making your voice airy on purpose. “Officer, I think you’re pretty hard right now.”
Taeyong smirked, his eyes darkening as he gripped the wrist of your wandering hand. “Oh yeah? You think you know me so well? Wanna play that game?” In the corner of your eye, you watched Mark’s figure step closer. “She already did, Hyung.” He pushed his tongue on the side of his cheek, and you fluttered your eyelashes at Taeyong, feigning innocence. “I didn’t do anything. He’s lying.”
“Oh?” Mark looked pissed, and you only giggled in response. Taeyong brought his face closer to yours. “If I find out you’ve been lying, you’re done for. Now, on your knees.” You complied, seconds later being met with Taeyong’s length springing out of his boxers. You covered his tip with your mouth, but you felt your hair being yanked backwards and a slap on your face. “Did I say anything yet? Dirty slut.” Mark’s grip on your hair didn’t falter, and you whined. “If you want to suck me so bad, you better be ready to beg for it.”
“Mmm, please. Please let me taste you, Daddy. Please, I’ll be good.” Mark’s other hand travelled under your chin, tilting your head up almost uncomfortably, making you yelp. “Tap him if it’s too much, okay?” You nodded in response, and as soon as you did, Mark’s thumb pressed hard on your bottom lip, prying your jaw open. Taeyong thrusted inside your open mouth, guttural groans leaving him as he did. Tears sprung to your eyes at the sudden intrusion, the apartment now filled with the sounds of you violently gagging on dick. Your fists clenched by your sides. “Pretty cockwhore, aren’t you?” Mark whistled lowly, making you squeeze your legs in embarrassment. “Ah, so you like being our nasty little thing. As expected.” You shook your head, but he only tightened his grip, laughing almost cruelly in response. Taeyong pulled out when he heard you choking, inhaling air as soon as his tip left your mouth. “Not so talkative now, are you, pretty?” Your voice raspy as you spoke, you opened your mouth wider, sticking your tongue out. “Daddy’s little whore, yeah?” You could only hum in response as Mark held you still, Taeyong jerking himself off on your tongue. You swallowed the cum in your mouth, letting some of it drool out of your mouth. Taeyong bent over, spreading it over your chin, mixed with your drool. “Go and bend over the couch.” You went to nod once more, but he slapped your face. “Words.”
“Y-yes, T-Taeyongie.” You only used that when you were floating away, letting yourself go, and to be honest, you were surprised it had happened so soon. As you bent over the couch, you had an inkling that they were surprised too. You felt Taeyong’s hands on your sides, and you jumped. “Sorry, jagi. Is this still okay?”
“Uh-huh.” You felt wetness pool in between your legs. “Please, f-fuck me. Before, what happened…well, Markie…I’m sorry I lied, Daddy.” You heard Taeyong shushing you. “I want you to enjoy yourself, beautiful. Okay? Tell me if this is too much.” You sighed, relaxing when you felt Taeyong rub up your back, pressing hard in the way that you liked. Under his hands, you felt safe. Calm. Honest.
“C-Can we go to the bedroom? I don’t like this position.”
Your body burned, even though your shared bedroom was freezing tonight. “Fuck, it’s cold in here.” Taeyong held you close to your body, as if he never wanted to let go.
As the three of you sat on the edge of the bed, you began to ugly cry. Taeyong rubbed your back as you shook, Mark taking a tissue to wipe your chin. “Was it too much? Baby?” You didn’t know who was speaking, but you held both their hands, unable to stop the tears from falling. “No, its just that,” you rubbed your face harshly, feeling the days makeup rub off on your hand. “This is all so fucking dumb. I’m sorry, but, I don’t want you to leave. I don’t care if that makes me a bad person.” Taeyong laughed as he held your head in both his hands, pulling you into his body. Mark ran his hands soothingly up your thighs. “I think I love this side of you, actually.”
You smiled, remembering your conversation only a while ago. “Sorry I’m ruining everything.”
“Sorry but, you must be fucking crazy if you think that’s true for even a second.” Unlocking yourself from Taeyong’s embrace, you exaggerate lifting your hands up in surrender. “Okay, relax, Mark. Don’t call a woman crazy.”
“Especially not a horny one.” You snorted at this, making both of them laugh. Sighing, you tried to appear mad or even annoyed. But you hadn’t felt more free in days.
He was right. You were going to miss these stupid jokes.
The three of you rolled onto the bed, you straddling Taeyong while Mark left noisy kisses down the sides of your neck from behind. “I want you both inside me. Please.” You moaned as Mark squeezed your boob from under your shirt, your head on his shoulder as Taeyong pulled your panties down, the three of you momentarily and, almost comically, struggling with taking them all the way off.
Your hands splayed across Taeyong’s bare chest, you bent over to kiss him. “I’ll miss you.” You whispered against his skin, and he squeezed the outside of your thigh in response. As Mark sheathed himself inside you for the second time that night, he began to thrust straight away. “Still fits like a fucking sleeve, so fucking good.” Your breath quickened as your clit rolled against Taeyong’s bare cock, your moans thickening as you watched Taeyong lie beneath you. “You ready, my love?” You nodded furiously, Mark holding onto you with an arm across your shoulders, pressing your body flush against his. Both men guided you onto Taeyong’s length, the stretch now burning, firecrackers exploding in your stomach. “Fuck! Oh fuck!” You couldn’t breathe, pulling at Mark’s arm, slowly registering him shushing you in your ear. “Relax, baby girl. You’re doing so well. Almost there.” Taeyong groaned in pleasure, shifting the tiniest bit, which made you yelp. The feeling was so unfamiliar, and your heart pounded at the new sensations. “Please, don’t move yet.” Taeyong rubbed circles on your clit, watching your face carefully.
“Nghh, ahh…” The feeling of both of them inside you was starting to choke you from the inside, deliciously bringing you close to a release. “Wait, Daddy, don’t-“ You squealed as you squirted, your clit throbbing from the aftermath. “Shit, I don’t know if I can-“
“You can cum again, pretty. I know you can.” You moaned, feeling both of them bump against each other and into your walls inside you, wet and messy. “Oh my god, oh my…” you babbled, holding onto anything as they thrusted relentlessly, both their timing desperate and rocky. “Fuck, I’m gonna cum!”
“Cum for us, jagi, that’s it.” Taeyong’s voice rose in pitch, and you heard Mark groaning in your ear, pressing your upper body closer to his. You came for the second time, gasping for air, hips rolling without permission over both their cocks. You slumped over Taeyong after, Mark pulling out and resting next to you both on the bed.

Def Leppard members as your boyfriend
Joe:
Tumblr media
There's so much yet so little I know about him as a boyfriend / partner
But I know he'd be very doting
Like, as soon as you tell about anything that you're hyperfixating on, he will learn everything about it
Loves fangirl Fridays, where the both of you watch a bunch of interviews (old & new) on YouTube, or back then, on VHS, 'cause you always recorded at least one or two
He's fangirling about Ian Hunter obviously (it's so funny to me, but all hail the fangirls and fanboys♡)
One time you were hyperfixating on Sav, and therefor your attention was put a little bit more towards him
Poor Joe got a bit jealous, 'cause it was his best friend, but eh, he wasn't better, and it was harmless, so it's good, right?;3
Listens to you like there was nothing else going on
HUGS, HUGS, HUGS
Hugs from behind, quick side hug, hugs during cuddling...All the hugs!!💕🫂
Kisses range from every possible kind there is
Loves deep and long kisses, the ones where you basically lose your breath
You're kind of his personal heater / cooler when you're cuddling
Clings like a koala to you
Furthermore, very loyal and loves to have you on tour, but not too long, so that you won't get sick of it:)
Loves to call you ,,love" or ,,babe", or any other nickname you like, like childhood nicknames:)
Sav:
Tumblr media
He always looks so slightly confused to me, omg-
Like, it took him so long to realize, that you two were a couple
It were two weeks, but it still felt like an eternity, like forever
Definitely teaches you bass (you gotta know where the rhythm comes from;3)
Will introduce you to the big and wide world of fashion
Will get you a custom suit (or dress...Or both):>
Breakfast in bed whenever he can:3
Cuddles EVERY night, even on call (no matter analog or digital)
Loves deep conversations about anything
Rick:
Tumblr media
He is such a sweetheart
Won't stop looking at you when you two hang out
Like...He's so enamored, his eyes literally formed to hearts♡
ATTENTIVE!!!
Loves driving out somewhere:]
Asks everybody what he should get you for special occasions, despite knowing you in and out🤭
Loves telling you about the random stuff he saw on walks
I wanna squish his cheeks:3
Phil:
Tumblr media
Active boy
Be prepared to always go anywhere with a bike if possible
He probably tries to swim so so far
But! If you wanna have a lazy day a few days in a row, he's not opposed to that
From reading his book, Phil is a deeper thinker than you might imagine, so lots of talking about his philosophy of life and how the world works. He genuinely believes you are soulmates. He cooks you vegan food, and takes you to the gym, whether you want to or not! Very keen on, ahem, bedroom activities, and probably pretty good at it after all that practice lol <- @steveinscarlet
(Somebody help me, I don't know what to add-)
Steve:
Tumblr media
Do I have to say it?
I'll just say it again
BIGGEST👏SWEETHEART👏EVER❤️
Like, he's so fun to be around, talk to etc. etc...
Kisses all the time
Late night talks until dawn
Love making? Yes sir:)
The softest hugs known to mankind
Steve is super-shy, so you probably had to make the first move, or be so painfully obvious that even he couldn't fail to notice that you like him. Talks to you in funny voices and probably has a silly pet name for you which makes the other guys make vomiting noises when they hear him use it. He alternates between being really loved up and soppy, and needing reassurance that you really do love him. Buys you classy presents like jewellery and fancy perfume. You steal each other's clothes and eat from each other's plates. He tells you you're beautiful even when you have a spot the size of mount Vesuvius on your chin! <- @steveinscarlet
(Feel free to add, I'll add them:))
Vivian:
Tumblr media
The first thing I thought about was Stu
He always had a little companion with him, wherever he would go (if he could take it with him, that is)
Absolutely loves playing your favourite songs on an acoustic, especially fast ones, 'cause they sometimes sound weird (he does it on purpose, 'cause it makes you laugh)
Lets you do his hair:)
Shy boy:>
Loves cuddling up in the middle of whatever you or he were doing
Forehead kisses
(Feel free to add!)

Modern College Student/BF Eren Yeager Headcanons
Armin version: HERE
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Changed his major so. many. times.
Tried premed bc of his dad but then realized he had to take a lot of math and was like “lol no”
Was a business major for a bit but he didn’t have enough tact or strategy so dropped that pretty quick
Philosophy was next but he has such black and white way of thinking, he always got into arguments with the professors
Ethics was ruled out after like a week bc of…well, obvious reasons
Joined Armin’s major for like a month but it took so much studying and memory that he quit
Tried psych with Mikasa but yeah every teacher kept telling him to go to therapy??? And he was like “no thank you.”
Eventually i think he will land in something like sport communication or management, bc the competition really gets him fired up and he’s only good at something if he’s passionate about it
also feel like he’d be a college athlete with some scholarships so yeah, it makes sense
Not a great student tbh
Type of bitch to say “c’s get degrees.”
Really its only his public speaking skills that are keeping his grade afloat bc his presentations are sooo hype and get the class all inspired n shit
His essays and quizzes tho? Yeah, not so good
Bad at attending classes too, for sure will be like “srry my grandma died.”
And the teacher is just like “you’ve used that excuse already?twice??"
And hes just like “ugh fine you got me, I was tired and hungover”
Def tried to join a frat but Armin and Mikasa threatened to not be friends with him 
Still hangs with the frat boys a lot and is always partying with them
Pregames wayyy too hard tho, wasted before the party even starts
Unironically dances to lmfao and pitbull at college parties like “party rockers” is his fucking jam
Casual pothead, has a bong he def like nicknamed the “titan” cuz it’s so fucking huge
Will share his stash with you but like next time you got alc or bud just know he’s hitting that shit
High Eren is just really philosophical about freedom but with the munchies
Diet consists of instant ramen, mcdonalds and box mac n cheese, probably alot of redulls too
Thank god he’s athletic w a high metabolism 
Is fucking rocking the man bun and will fight you if you say otherwise
Games often with Jean, Conny and Sasha
Rage quits all the time and yes, Jean has recorded most of them for blackmail
Still uses snapchat streaks and will be so salty if one of his friends broke it
“You know nothing of loyalty. It’s one snap a day! How fucking hard was that?”  
Smells like irish spring body wash, old spice deodorant and weed
Also mint? I feel like he’s always chewing gum
One of those smokers who think he can just splash cold water on his face and chew on some gum and it wouldn’t be obvious that he’s high af
Carmex lip balm is the only slightly self care item he owns
Really into anime, loves the boss fights
I feel like he’d really like Naruto, Demon Slayer, Bnha or jojo’s bizarre adventure
You know anything with a lot of fights or training 
Ppl say he’d like Deathnote bc light but honestly I think he would get lost with all the twists and be like “why tf aren’t ppl just punching each other???”
Loves rap if he’s feeling good or screamo if he’s angry, like there's no in between lmao 
For sure listens to his music way too loud even with air pods
“Max volume isn’t enough, I wanna fuck the song” type of dude
I feel like him and Conny at one point prob tried to make a youtube channel where they like react to stuff 
Jean is the top commenter…..too bad it’s hate comments lol
Is one of those guys who has such a high body temp that even if it’s like december and snowing out, he’s still in basketball shorts and a short sleeve shirt 
Progressive bc Armin taught him how sex doesn’t equal gender, and pronouns are to be respected
Still a dick tho
“He’s such a fucking- wait hold up what are your pronouns?  They? K cool was just gonna talk shit about you but wanted to be respectful about it, thanks.”  goes back to his other conversation like, “They are such a fucking worthless cunt.”
As your bf
Probably met off tinder or something bc he is just a fuckboy looking to get his dick wet
But after fucking he just keeps hanging out with you? Or like if u get ur period or don't feel like sex he’s like, “it’s okay we can just watch a movie or something😀”
So ur not quite sure if you guys are fuckbuddies or not?
It becomes kinda obvious tho if he like ever sees you with another guy and gets all up in his face like “wtf are u doing with my girl/boy?”
U guys don’t have a clear anniversary bc he never asked u to be his, it was just kinda silently agreed upon?
Clingy lil bitch after sex like will follow u to the bathroom if u let him
Needs to shower with you, otherwise you both aint showering cuz he will turn off the water 
“Now we both stinky, bitch.”
Gives me the vibe of a guy who learned sex stuff thru porn
He goes really hard, fast and will put you in crazy positions
If u have a vagina you prob will have to like teach him about clit stimulation and literally take his hand and lead it there, he’s a fast learner though 
Will pull your hair but if you dare pull his?
He'll flip you over and spank you 
Wants sooo bad to be called daddy, up to you though if u wanna call him that but you can tell he tries to lead you to say it sometimes
Not really controlling or anything, actually loves an independent partner who has their own goals 
Is insanely jealous though, the only time he’s all up on you is if he thinks another guy is trying to get on you
If you fight tbh I think Eren can be a lil brat but I think he always has a time limit 
Like..he’s the type of guy that has about three days in him of being an asshole or being in silent treatment mode before he just breaks and knocks on your door begging for forgiveness
A little toxic but again, more so about others than actually controlling you
The type to start a fight in your insta comments if anyone other than him or your besties call you hot
Will try to be cool and say “wear whatever you want, I can fight”
And he will but like will he also cry later? Yes. 
Dates with him aren’t really dates? I think his love language is quality time so he’s the type to just try to hang out and make everything a lil “date”
Lots of late night car rides where you guys just talk and share songs (also car sex if ur up to it), lazy days where you two watch movies and cuddle in bed, also I think he’s the type of bf to try to tag along with you everywhere you go and offer to get you food afterwards
Only for like birthdays or anniversaires will he try to take you out for a fancy dinner, even then you might have to drop hints that you want a nice date bc honestly he’s totally okay getting mdconalds with you and pigging out
Overall he’s kinda a scary dog privellage as a boyfriend
Whose mainly all bark and no bite
(mostly)
Fav nicknames: Babe, babygir/babyboy, sexy, shortie 
Songs that fit the vibe: 505 by Arctic Monkeys, Cherry Waves by Deftones, Daddy Issues by the Neighbourhood
“I’d probably still adore you wth your hands around my neck”
“I’ll swim down with you, is that what you want?” 
“I tell you that I’m thinking about, whatever you’re thinking about”

✨Content Tagging Guide✨
disclaimer: this is not directed at anyone, nor was it sparked because I've seen anyone mistagging anything. I just like lists and I'm going to make it everyone's problem :)
So you wanna write a story with darker themes, but are mayhaps a little uncertain about all the different content warnings you've seen.
Not to worry! Hopefully this quick guide will clear things up. To illustrate each level, I'm going to use macaroni and cheese as the content example. Without further ado...
cw: macaroni and cheese
^^this warning is very general. It tells the reader the content will show up at some point within the text, but doesn't specify the detail, use, or extent.
cw: macaroni and cheese (mentioned)
They drove through town, past the busy main street, and the factory where the local brand of macaroni and cheese got its packaging.
This warning tells readers the content will be mentioned; maybe in dialogue, or in a description, but not explored in detail.
cw: macaroni and cheese (discussed)
"I'm lactose intolerant," he said. "So I can't---well, I shouldn't eat stuff like that."
"But you did anyway?" they pressed. "I'm sorry, just... How did it feel? After?"
"Awful. I really should've listened to my common sense and ordered something besides mac and cheese."
As you'd expect, this warning tells the reader that the content will be discussed, either in conversation, or through a character's thoughts. Discussions can involve the moral implications of the content, how the content fits within the world, philosophies relating to the content, and the emotional or lasting effects of the content on a character.
cw: macaroni and cheese (referenced)
He tapped her shoulder. "Hey, I didn't see you after work yesterday, you okay?"
"Fine now," she said, shrugging. "I just had a bad batch of mac and cheese for lunch."
Very similar to "mentioned", this warning often implies a non-explicit, non-graphic mention of the content.
cw: macaroni and cheese (implied)
He frowned down at the bowl, then averted his eyes, appetite lost by the gooey yellow mass inside, and the heavy, creamy smell wafting off it.
This warning tells readers that the content is not outright stated, but the character's reactions and actions imply what's going on. If you could remove the context from the scene/paragraph in question and make it look like something else is happening, you probably have implied content. Note that there is a difference between simply "implied", and "heavily implied".
cw: macaroni and cheese (fade to black)
She took her seat at the table, queasiness building in her stomach. Her least-favorite food was to be served, and while she knew it would be rude to decline it, she wasn't looking forward to lunch. As the dreaded bowl was placed before her, she picked up the fork, and plunged it in.
Similar to implied, but instead of carrying on through the scene the content takes place in, fade to black builds up to the moment, and stops, often transitioning to the next scene before the content is given any kind of detail.
cw: macaroni and cheese (non-explicit)
For lunch, he was served a bowl of mac and cheese, one of his least favorite meals. He choked it down anyway, and hoped he wouldn't get an upset stomach.
This tells the reader the content will be present in some form, but not described in detail. It may have some active bearing on the character or plot, but won't be particularly graphic. While the character may be emotionally affected after the fact, the content itself is glossed over.
cw: macaroni and cheese (explicit)
The bowl was placed in front of him, steam still rising from the substance inside. He knew what it was before he looked. Mac and cheese. And he'd have to devour the entire bowl of it. He lifted the first forkful, strands of yellow cheese trailing from squishy curved noodles, all the way back into the bowl, even as he raised it to his mouth. Damn, it was extra cheesy. He knew his lactose intolerance just wouldn't hold up.
This is often used as the heaviest warning, telling readers that the content and the characters' reactions to it will be described in detail.
Again, this was something I mostly just wrote for fun, and to dramatize mac and cheese but I do hope someone out there finds it helpful. Let me know if there's a type I missed! :)

daily Noah thoughts, part 6:
1. he’s said numerous times that he loves to read in his free time and I think he’s big on psychology, philosophy and self development books
2. he’s the arrogant type of boyfriend to me, like he wouldn’t really get jealous if he sees you talking to someone else, because he knows he’s better, he’s the type to just look at you while you’re conversing with an amusing smirk; he knows what he’s working with and he’s confident in himself
3. big on physical touch, he just looks like the type, i’m almost certain that’s his love language
4. introverted (like he’s stated multiple times) but definitely not shy
5. the type to wanna have a deep conversation from the get go. he’s a scorpio so it comes naturally to him. wanna talk about art? we’re going deep. psychology? going deep again. the human race and aliens? oh, you’re about to go down a rabbit hole with that man.
6. he’s an old soul.
ok, bye now

thin like lace & twice as tight (Armand/Daniel) (1/1)
Summary:
He’s trying not to think about it. He doesn’t want to spoil the reveal prematurely, after all. But it’s hard not to, with the satiny spandex ribbon that’s currently nestled between his ass cheeks insistent on riding up to give him a constant wedgie. “Is there a reason you’re singing ‘Femme Fatale’ so loudly in your head right now?” Armand asks from across the dinner table, a bemused grin tugging at the corners of his mouth. “Is our conversation boring you that terribly?” — He’s seen how Armand eyes the lacy little numbers that adorn the shop window mannequins they pass. They clearly capture his interest. He just hopes the same is true when Daniel is the one wearing them.
Rating: E Pairing: M/M (Devil's Minon, Armand/Daniel) WC: ~3600
He’s trying not to think about it. He doesn’t want to spoil the reveal prematurely, after all. But it’s hard not to, with the satiny spandex ribbon that’s currently nestled between his ass cheeks insistent on riding up to give him a constant wedgie.
“Is there a reason you’re singing ‘Femme Fatale’ so loudly in your head right now?” Armand asks from across the dinner table, a bemused grin tugging at the corners of his mouth. “Is our conversation boring you that terribly?”
They’re in one of those fancy restaurants the vampire often insists on taking him to, something French and expensive and extremely out of Daniel’s league if he’s being perfectly honest. The food is good, though—the kind of complex flavors he’d never get in the Podunk Midwestern shithole he hails from.
“Heard it on the radio,” he lies, hoping Armand doesn’t choose this moment to dig deeper into his psyche. “It’s been stuck in my head all day.”
“You always did like Lou Reed,” Armand comments offhandedly, and a fluttery feeling spreads in Daniel’s chest. It always makes him feel gooey inside that the vampire pays such close attention to what he likes.
Which is the reason he’s doing this, at the end of the day. Wearing lingerie for him, that is. Or, well, part of the reason anyway; it’s also because Armand keeps nagging him about the fact that he prefers to go commando most of the time, complaining that it’s ‘unsanitary’ or whatever. But mostly, he wants to do something special for his stalker-slash-boyfriend, to repay him at least a fraction of what he’s done for Daniel. And he’s seen how Armand eyes the lacy little numbers that adorn the shop window mannequins they pass; they clearly capture his interest.
He just hopes the same is true when Daniel is the one wearing them.
“Do you have any grand plans for the rest of the evening?” he asks Armand, aiming for nonchalance but realistically landing somewhere in the realm of over-eager like he always does. He pushes his salade de chêvre chaud around with his fork. “Or did you just wanna go home after dinner?”
The vampire looks at him strangely. “Up to you, beloved.”
“I think going home sounds good,” Daniel says. Truthfully, he’s not sure he’s up for dancing when his cheeks are so separated they might as well file for divorce. Aside from the thong, however, the panties aren’t quite as bad as he thought they would be: the material is soft and form-fitting where it caresses his junk, the subtle scrape of it against him tantalizing. The garter belt isn’t quite as comfortable, but it does make him feel kind of sexy. Like one of those pin-ups in the Playboys he used to steal from his dad.
They finish their meal in relative silence, punctuated by the occasional observation about a stranger from Daniel, or by Armand asking him some question about philosophy. It’s nice, normal. It almost distracts from the way his heart races in anticipation every time he thinks about what he’s wearing underneath his clothes.
When they finally pay and are getting ready to leave, Armand places his hand on Daniel’s lower back to steer him towards the exit, and Daniel’s shirt must have ridden up or something because his fingertips brush against the thin strap that arcs over the younger man’s hip. He pauses.
“Daniel.” His voice is low, and he’s still looking straight ahead as he guides them out onto the street. “What are you wearing?”
“Aren’t you supposed to ask me that over the phone?” Daniel asks, chuckling nervously. His pulse thrums wild and anxious, his whole body singing in tune with it.
The vampire’s tone is clipped and deadly serious when he repeats, “Daniel.”
He swallows roughly, tries to sound firm: “You’ll have to wait until we’re home. I wanted it to be a surprise.”
Armand huffs a laugh. “As you wish.” Still, he pinches the elastic between his fingers and pulls, snapping it harshly against Daniel’s rear; a reminder of who is in charge, here. It stings, makes his skin feel warm where it draws the blood to the surface.
He thinks about it the entire way home.
When they open the door to their shared Brooklyn apartment, Armand doesn’t acknowledge him at first. Rather, he strolls leisurely to the kitchen, retrieving a tumbler from the cupboard while Daniel hovers expectantly in the doorway. Then, he walks over to the liquor cabinet and pours himself a scotch. The sound of the liquid hitting the glass is the only noise in the room, save for Daniel’s own shallow breathing.
Once he’s done, he makes his way to the couch, sitting down and slinging one arm over the back before he finally addresses Daniel. “I believe you were going to show me something.”
“Um,” Daniel stutters, a flush rising to his cheeks. He can’t help but fidget under the weight of Armand’s stare. “Yeah.”
The vampire gestures with one hand, as if to say go on. “Then show me.”
“You mean, like—”
“Strip, Daniel.”
The flush burns ever hotter. “Okay,” he says, his hands coming to rest at the collar of his dress shirt. His fingers begin to fumble with the buttons, and he’s fervently attempting to get this over with without having to think about what he must look like, but Armand won’t let him; he stops Daniel before he can even undo the second button.
“Slower,” he directs, taking a sip of his drink. “You said I had to wait, after all. So make me wait.”
“Right,” Daniel mutters, trying to pretend that the command doesn’t shoot directly to his cock. He definitely fails—at least, if the smirk on the vampire’s face is anything to go off of.
Nevertheless, he relaxes in his urgency, although the reduction in speed probably owes just as much to the way his hands start to shake as it does to Armand’s instruction. But he persists in his efforts, and one by one, the buttons pop open, exposing more and more of his chest to the vampire’s scrutiny.
When he reaches his navel, he hesitates; any further down, and Armand is going to see the delicate white lace that is stretched around his stomach and holding up his stockings.
“Go on.”
This is what you wanted, he reminds himself over the embarrassment. He exhales a shuddering sigh and continues, separating the clasps so that the garter belt is on full display.
Armand leans in, then, his elbows on his knees as he examines Daniel with the same dedication as if he were admiring a fine portrait. “Beautiful,” he whispers, his tone feather-light and almost reverent.
Daniel makes a choked noise at the praise, undoing the last button at the hem before pushing the shirt off of his shoulders. It lands in a puddle of cotton on the floor, and Daniel thinks maybe he ought to hang it up or put it in a hamper or something, but he can’t; he is thoroughly rooted to the spot.
The vampire rakes his eyes over the nearly-naked skin with all of the fervor as if he’s never seen it before. As if he’s never seen anything quite like it. “Good,” he says, and Daniel wants to imagine that he hears excitement hiding beneath his cool, even tone. “Now take off your shoes.”
Obediently, he bends down and removes his right loafer, and Armand’s gaze drops to the sheer white stocking that covers Daniel’s foot, runs up his ankle, dives under the leg of his pants before climbing further still. Daniel wordlessly repeats the same process with the left shoe, wiggling his toes once they’re free from their confines. He doesn’t think he hallucinates the sharp intake of air that follows.
But if Armand has any other reaction to Daniel’s choice of hosiery, he doesn’t show it. Instead, he merely continues instructing Daniel to disrobe. “Pants.”
With trembling fingers, Daniel unzips the fly of his jeans. A sliver of the woven, floral fabric of his underwear is revealed to Armand, and this time Daniel is positive that he hears a quiet sigh escape the other man’s lips
His face fully on fire now, he slides the denim down his stocking-clad thighs. The moment stretches on for an eternity, pulled slow and syrupy like saltwater taffy, until the article of clothing is pooled at his feet and Daniel stands in the middle of their living room wearing nothing but women’s undergarments.
When he gathers enough courage to look back up at Armand, the vampire’s mouth is slightly open, his pupils blown wide and hungry. The intensity of his stare makes Daniel’s cock twitch, throbbing and needy where it pushes flush against the thin lace.
“You look lovely,” Armand comments, his voice rough with desire. Still, there is an element of tenderness to the way his gaze rakes over Daniel’s form. Of affection.
Daniel tries not to squirm. “Thank you,” he replies quietly. “I was hoping you’d like it.”
“I do.” The vampire sets down his glass and rises, stalking towards him to circle him like prey. Inspecting him. When he comes to stand behind Daniel, he crouches down as if to get a better look. “Do you know what I like most about it?”
“What?”
Armand grazes his mouth over the curve of Daniel’s ass, then, drawing a full-body shiver from the younger man. He stops when he reaches the strap that rests on Daniel’s hip. “How much like a slut you look,” he tells him, before capturing the elastic between his teeth and tugging, in a much dirtier mirror of his teasing touch at the restaurant. Daniel yelps in surprise as the fabric at his front is pulled more tautly against him, and again when Armand releases his grip so that spandex lashes back into his skin.
“On your knees,” Armand orders, even as he grabs two handfuls of Daniel’s ass. Even as he presses a wet, messy kiss to the juncture of Daniel’s thigh, as though he can’t quite help himself. As though touching Daniel is the only option, as though he isn’t willing to stop even for a second. Daniel tries not to whimper, the sound half-swallowed and all the more garbled for the attempt.
It’s easy to let himself fall when his legs are already so unsteady, though, and Armand helps guide him down with an insistent grip on both of his hips.
Once Daniel is firmly on the ground, Armand says, “Turn around, pet.” And he does, and then the vampire is kissing him so soundly that he can feel it radiating all the way in his toes. He threads his fingers in Daniel’s hair, nips at his bottom lip playfully, caresses his soft palate with his tongue. He kisses him like he’s unwrapping a present, like Daniel is the best gift he’s ever been given.
When he eventually shifts away to allow Daniel to breathe, the younger man tries his best to chase after him. Armand chuckles at his eagerness, pressing one final, chaste kiss to Daniel’s mouth before ducking his head into the crook of his lover’s neck. “So pretty,” he murmurs as though speaking only to himself, his voice twinkling and bright like string lights. “Can I ruin you, beautiful boy?”
“Yes,” Daniel gasps, hands coming to rest atop Armand’s head, pulling him in even closer. “Please, baby.”
Evidently that’s all the permission he needs before his fangs are sliding home, and Daniel tilts his head back in anticipation of the familiar rush that accompanies the blood loss. But to his surprise, it doesn’t come; instead of drinking as he normally would, Armand lifts his head mere seconds after sinking his teeth in, hovering his mouth just above the twin puncture wounds that decorate Daniel’s skin like an old tattoo.
“Wha—?” he mumbles, confused as to why the vampire is just sitting there, allowing the bite to ooze blood down his throat, gushing in time with every beat of Daniel’s heart.
“You look like a vision,” Armand whispers, his voice wrecked with devotion as though Daniel is something holy. “I want to paint you.”
Before he can ask the vampire to elaborate, Armand is nuzzling into his neck again, his shoulder, smudging Daniel’s blood hot and vital all over his cheeks and chin and all over Daniel in turn. Every so often, his tongue darts out to taste, but they are fleeting little touches—teases to both Daniel and himself; it’s clear that he’s not trying to feed here.
He’s trying to make a mess.
Daniel moans at the utter depravity of being covered in his own blood, his head instinctively lolling further back to give Armand more room to work. But Armand just replaces his mouth with his hand, coating his palm and the tips of his fingers in the slick fluid as he brings Daniel in close for another kiss.
He can taste himself on Armand’s tongue, his blood spilling slippery and metallic over lips, his teeth. Daniel whimpers, the flavor harsh and unpleasant but so deeply, deeply erotic in its wrongness that his cock begins to leak against the dainty material of his panties. The fingers on Daniel’s neck slide slippery and warm down his figure until Armand is once more greedily squeezing his ass, and he rolls into it shamelessly, moaning again as the vampire kneads and massages the sensitive flesh.
Blood drips down the column of his throat, pools in his clavicle, and Armand dips into it the same way one might a palette of paint, using it to spread the stuff as far as he can, to stain as much of Daniel with it as possible. To stain as much of himself in the process, too. It feels like he’s touching him everywhere, like he’s making a mural out of Daniel’s body—a ghoulish effigy of their mutual affection that Daniel hopes never washes off entirely. The only areas Armand avoids are those covered by the creamy white of his lingerie, his garter belt, his stockings, deliberately maintaining their purity even as he seems to grow more and more feverish in his efforts.
“Undress me,” he demands in between kisses, and Daniel happily complies, helping him strip himself of his shirt and pants as quickly as he can, until he’s kneeling naked and hard in front of Daniel, presenting his own stunning canvas to render into art.
Overcome by the expanse of smooth, dark skin that begs to be sullied and soiled just like Daniel’s own, he has no other choice than to pounce on Armand, to bury his hands in the vampire’s hair, to knock him backwards until they’re pressed chest to chest on the floor. They start writhing against one another instinctively, Daniel’s blood smearing between their bodies with all the delicacy of an oil spill. It takes no time at all for them to find a rhythm that has them both panting, their cocks grinding together through the lingerie, rutting against each other in short, savage bursts while the vampire claws his bloody hands into the meat of Daniel’s back.
As Daniel rocks into him, Armand huffs these prissy little gasps into his mouth, not quite able to reach satisfaction from this angle and rapidly growing annoyed about it. “Daniel,” he says, his voice thin and breathless with need. “Fuck me. Now.”
He leans up, intending to remove the garter belt and thong so he can do precisely that, but Armand stops him. “Leave them on.”
“Sure,” Daniel agrees breezily, and a pang of arousal spears him in the gut at how into this Armand so obviously is, at how much he enjoys seeing Daniel dolled up and dressed like a whore. The vampire spreads his thighs for him impatiently, presenting himself all open and vulnerable, and Daniel would have to be a much stronger man than he is to refuse the implicit request.
He drags two fingers through the still-bleeding wound on his neck before pressing the tips of them against Armand’s rim. It’s admittedly not the best lubricant they’ve ever used, or the most carefully they’ve ever gone about preparation, but Daniel thinks it’ll have to do—everything more suitable to the job is too far away to bother collecting when they’re both so incredibly desperate for it, and the ability to do this cautiously was lost somewhere back before Armand turned him into a Jackson Pollock composed in his own blood.
Armand keens as the digits slip inside, wrapping his legs around Daniel’s waist and trapping him there as he begins to scissor the vampire open. However, he only tolerates the fingering for about a minute before he gets antsy, shimmying and ordering Daniel to “Get on with it.”
Daniel laughs, leaning down to press a red kiss to Armand’s temple as if he’s anointing him. “I don’t want to hurt you, baby.”
The vampire scowls, though it looks far more like a pout. “You’re not that big.”
It only makes Daniel laugh harder, unable to quite believe that this is the ancient, immortal being he’s somehow managed to shackle himself to. “All right, princess. Whatever you want.”
He removes his fingers, then, and pulls down the lace at his hips just far enough so that his cock can spring free. He coats himself in more of his own blood, dizzy from the obscenity of it, then braces his weight on his hands to either side of Armand’s hips as he slowly pushes inside.
Armand mewls, fingers scrambling at the hardwood as he drives his ass back to meet Daniel, propelling his body forward until his lover is seated in him to the hilt. Daniel takes that as a hint that Armand is not interested in taking this slow. Under different circumstances, Daniel would be intent on making this moment stretch as far as it could, would delay Armand’s satisfaction for his own enjoyment (and, he admits, out of a sappy sort of sentimentality), but right now a sense of urgency takes root in his gut and the need to watch the vampire fall apart on his cock overwhelms every other impulse.
“Then get on with it,” Armand repeats, reading his thoughts and being a big petulant baby about it. He digs his heels into Daniel’s lower back, spurring him on. “I’ll compel you if I must.”
It’s not an idle threat, Daniel knows.
“God, you’re whiny,” he grouses, even though he doesn’t really mind at all. Armand opens his mouth as though to argue, but Daniel shuts him up with a sharp snap of his hips.
Finally, Armand whispers inside of his mind, pathologically incapable of not having the last word. Aloud, though, he groans, a devastatingly pretty sound that has Daniel fucking into him hard, fast, brutal. He cries out, fingers grasping at Daniel’s shoulders as he bucks into each thrust with abandon.
The visual of it is stunning, and Daniel can feel himself losing control of his own pleasure.
“What do you taste like to yourself?” the vampire asks suddenly, soft and airy, trailing the fingertips of one hand up to collect more blood on them. Belatedly, Daniel wonders how he hasn’t passed out yet. It must be sheer force of will, he thinks, the way he’s fighting through the black spots that dart across his vision: a testament to the indomitable nature of the human spirit. Armand cups his chin gently, sticking his index and middle fingers past Daniel’s lips, stroking over his tongue lightly with his claws.
Blood, mostly, Daniel thinks at him, his mouth otherwise occupied with sucking Armand’s fingers clean. Iron and salt.
Armand closes his eyes, face screwed up in ecstasy as Daniel pounds into him at exactly the right angle. “Do you know what you taste like to me?”
He shakes his head. No, what?
“Art,” Armand breathes, and Daniel’s chest tightens from the undeniable sincerity of it. The hand that isn’t in Daniel’s mouth snakes between his own thighs, stroking himself in time with the rhythm that Daniel has set for him. “You taste how art feels.”
It nearly drives him over the edge. “Armand, I—”
“Please,” the vampire begs, the movement of his fist quickening. “I want it.”
The naked, unadulterated need in his voice is enough; with an unattractive grunt, Daniel comes inside of him, his arms shaking with the force of his climax. Armand squeezes down on his cock, milking him for everything he’s worth as his own release spills thick and pink over his fingers.
Eventually, Daniel’s arms give out and he collapses on top of Armand, but the vampire doesn’t seem to mind, merely wrapping his arms around the younger man and clutching him to his chest. He presses his nose into Daniel’s hair.
“What are your measurements?” he asks absentmindedly, voice reverberating against his lover’s scalp. “Wait, never mind, I don’t trust you; I’ll have my tailor take them.”
Daniel is still disoriented from his orgasm. “My measurements?”
“I want to have you fitted for a corset.”
He doesn’t know why he’s surprised; he honestly probably shouldn’t be. Still, he finds it strangely endearing, this weird creature of a man and his butterfly attention span, so he pins Armand against the hardwood and begins peppering his entire face with kisses even as the vampire struggles in protest.
Whatever—Daniel knows he’s faking it. He could escape if he really wanted to.
It makes something ephemeral and sparkling blossom in Daniel’s chest to know that he doesn’t.

Ouma Kokichi (Gemini) on DICE
Everybody and their dog knows that if there's one thing a Kokichi cares about more than anything, it's DICE. It's almost universally accepted that it's like a family to him. It's where he belongs.
My DICE is no different, but I'll have you know I've never seen those hooligans pictured in my motive video in my life. Not in the game, at least. My motive video was very different. For starters, we had sixteen member, not ten. I'm sure it doesn't take much to realize what that implies for me.
We were all DICE. I can finally say that now.
I was the only one who remembered, as some cruel way to twist the knife. They changed things about all of us to make us unpalatable to one another. Made my tendency to lie a compulsion that made sure no one would believe me if I managed to tell them.
And I tried to tell them.
I told Kay that I knew her point blank once, before she died. But then the conversation meandered on and I tripped over my own compulsion and backpedaled. Yeah of course I knew her, we met just the other day when we all woke up here.
A lie.
I tried a different approach. I tried to re-recruit her. That didn't go much better. She didn't trust me, for obvious reasons, and easily turned down my offer because I couldn't stomach any more truth than that it was a secret organization. How suspicious.
It's not her fault, though. She didn't remember, and they changed us. They made it so no one would accept me as a leader. Isn't that ironic? Their former supreme leader, now shunned and demonized despite his best efforts to keep everything from falling apart.
Kay and Ran were super close, like siblings, y'know.
Rumi and Ryo were practically married.
Kiyo and Ten loved to discuss gender philosophy together. An painted them during a chat, once.
Go and Miu liked to bond over a joint.
Kai and I...
Well, every good leader needs a second in command.
We were all one big group. A family. Maybe a polycule if you wanna call it that, although everyone had one or two people they were particularly close with.
As you can imagine, we didn't sign up for Danganronpa. I'm not sure such a franchise even exists. It was probably just a cover to confuse us, or hell, maybe that's not how it ended at all. I wouldn't know. I'm dead now.
I do have a pretty good idea of who might've orchestrated it, though, just based on the mocking facsimile they made as our so-called "backstory plot".
A group aiming for the stars to make the world a better place...? Well, we did have Project Stargazer in the works. I wonder who might've had a vested interest in ensuring its failure?
We were a group with direction. We had a goal, and projects to reach that goal that we were working tirelessly toward. A post-tragedy world is a pretty scary place. In the midst of so much chaos that the Tragedy caused, only one organization had the power and resources to take on the task of reconstruction, which is all well and good.
Not so much years after the fact, when everything is still controlled by them.
If you want something rebuilt, you better hope they're in agreement, or you'll never get the assistance. They have their own agenda, and they take full advantage of their reputation as the sole saviors of the world.
Even better that they have the Ultimate Hope on their side to sway the public's opinion of them.
Have you figured out who I'm talking about yet?
I've gathered that in fandom, the common consensus is that the Future Foundation is a force of good. I'm sure that's the common consensus among the public back home, too.
I'm in the minority, and that's why I founded DICE in the first place. This might just be me, but I think it's kind of shady for a single organization to have a global monopoly on the reconstruction of the world. The people should have a choice between multiple, so that everyone's bases are covered and we don't fall into the trap of reforming the world into a single ideal that overlooks those in need.
DICE was gunning to be that alternative.
We were small, but that made it easier to fly under the radar. Ran, Kiyo, and Go would go on expeditions to other countries, searching for survivors, helping to rebuild in underdeveloped places that Future Foundation overlooked, and cataloging the regrowth of ecosystems--bug life in particular.
Kay, Himi, and An were our public outreach team, using the arts to sway the public in a subtle way. Maki would often accompany them for protection.
Rumi, Ryo, Ten, and Tsu were our intel team, with Rumi working as a maid for so many important people, Ryo and Ten in the sports sphere making connections at sporting events, and Tsu who could infiltrate directly with her cosplaying skills all snooping around to gather intel about whatever Future Foundation may be up to. They would report back to Shu, who was good at keeping tabs on things like that with his detective skills.
Miu and Kiibo--who was built by Miu herself, not whoever the fuck Ibadashi is--were the biggest contributors to keeping our HQ functional, redeveloping surrounding areas in no-man's land, as well as developing the tech for Project Stargazer, which I spearheaded, but Kai as the Ultimate Astronaut had the most directive power.
See, we were gonna start another space race. A post-tragedy rendition of who could get back to space first. To raise global morale and put us on the map as a direct competitor to Future Foundation that people could lean on for reconstruction. That was our goal, to break Future Foundation's monopoly on was stays and what goes, what's hope and what's despair.
And they didn't like that. They didn't like it one bit.
I don't know how they found out about us. I can imagine it had something to do with another project of ours--Project Defect--but one way or another they did, and that was when they came for us.
I imagine it pretty closely parallels what they called the "Ultimate Hunt" in their fun little fantasy story.
We were captured, changed, and plunked into a killing game where no one remembered how close they were.
Shu's confidence was erased, making him a meek shell of himself.
Himi was turned into an infuriating layabout who actually believed and insisted that her magic was real--once a mere running joke we all shared.
Maki reduced to a recluse and a killing machine, all her work to overcome her trauma from having her care for others trained out of her eradicated.
Kay's optimism was turned toxic and her memories twisted. "Piano Freak", a fun little jab we gave her (we ALL had a mean but fun-spirited nickname like this), turned into a foundational point of bullying and torment.
All the work Ran did to learn to manage his personal symptoms of chronic boredom, risk-taking, struggling to connect with others, and anger were stripped from him, leaving him desperate for intrigue and unable to look to anyone to support.
Rumi's devotion to the great good was poisoned, and she didn't even realize that it was the love of her life that she sacrificed for a faulty memory of being prime minister.
Ryo died thinking he had no one, even though he was surrounded by people he used to know and care for, and who all cared for him.
An was made into a caricature of her own culture, something she used to hold so dear to her as the last surviving member of her people.
Ten's trauma was used against her to make her into an intolerable bigot and strip her of the nuance she used to believe was so important.
Kiyo's sister's memory was outright bastardized to turn him into a serial killer, all his devotion to maintaining her shrine in his room reduced to a mere fetish.
Go's upbringing mocked and spat in the face of his intelligence, robbing him of the communication skills and eloquence he learned from Kiyo on their travels together.
Miu's care and dedication to her work was usurped to inflate her self-importance to unhealthy levels without anyone feeling like she'd earned it.
Kiibo reduced to a dense bucket of bolts with his learning capabilities drastically reduced--not to mention that he likely had to undergo constant brainwashing from the signals he received from the dumb antenna they added to his head.
Tsu... who they ironically turned against us from the start as a spy of their own, completely tricked into assisting with their entire scheme to tear us apart.
And Kai... My dear, sweet, intelligent Kai, second in command and love of my life, Ultimate Astronaut and project director for our most ambitious plan... turned into a brazen, narrow-minded bully and made to hate me and everything I stood for until it was too late.....
I don't blame them. I don't blame any of them, because they changed them. They couldn't help it if that was the reality they remembered. Nothing I said would have made a difference, either coming out as a lie or taken as a lie because they changed me, too. Made me into a liar who couldn't stop lying even when it mattered.
And so it was the end for us. We tore ourselves apart. Hook, line, and sinker, and even if there was nothing I could do to stop them, that doesn't make it feel any less like a failure to me. A failure to bring DICE--my family--back together before I had to watch them kill each other.
There was a point where I gave up. Figured a mass death would be best, to put us all out of our misery. I'll never forgive myself for using Go and Miu the way I did to accomplish that, just to fail yet again.
And then I died failing.
I don't know if there are any survivors, like in the game. I don't know if I want to know. If there are, I'm not sure I want to see them. I don't want them to know, don't want them to realize the horrors of what they just went through. That most of their family is gone.
But at the same time...
I miss them. I miss everyone, and I desperately want my family back.
DICE is finished, but I don't want it to be.

I’m so excited to be joining the court eras tour! Congrats on the achievement! Can I request speak now about Frank and Matty competing for the attention of the same girl? Wether it means she ends with one of them, none, or both *wink wink*
you know, my philosophy in life is why have one when you can have both?
side note: i'm the worst person to go shopping with bc if you ask me if you should get something, i'm gonna tell you to treat yourself and if you ask me to help you decide between two things, i'm gonna tell you to get them both
Tumblr media
with that being said, let's fuck date them both <3
electric touch (frank's version ft. matt)
Tumblr media
firstly, frank and matt are very different when it comes to dating
matt flirts with anything that has a heartbeat. he's a charming, smooth talking fucker, and he knows exactly what he's doing. he doesn't even need to use his heightened senses to be able to tell that his dazzling grin and dimples coupled with his alluring deep voice makes a person's blood rush to their cheeks and to other places in their body
frank on the other hand is a little more shy. if you remember, maria approached him first when they met, and that actually seems to be a recurring theme for frank (karen makes the first move, sarah is the one that kisses him, beth is the one that invites him home). essentially, frank is a consent king who lets his partner come to him. not that he doesn't flirt, I think he does when he feels more comfortable, but it doesn't come second nature to him like it does to matt
secondly, I think their different personalities also shine in terms of the kind of date they take you on
matt's go to date idea that we've seen tends to be a romantic dinner somewhere. despite him being a huge slut flirt, i do think he's a hopeless romantic at heart. matt could ask you to dinner as easily as he could ask you what time it was, but I think he'd do his best to make sure to pick a spot that he knew you would like based off your preference in food, meet you at the restaurant looking devastatingly handsome, and then take you on a nice little stroll to keep the evening going
frank on the other hand seems a little more old school and traditional. despite where he's taking you, he's definitely picking you up at your door and bringing flowers. I could see him being a dinner and movie guy, but I also think frank would wanna get to really know you, and it's kinda hard to have a conversation with someone while watching a movie. so I personally think he would take you to do something fun (we know he loved to take his family to the park with the carousel), something like bowling, mini golf, an arcade (where he'd totally show off and win you a prize), an aquarium, etc. somewhere where the two of you could do something fun together and then get a bite after
NOW, we know frank and matt are super competitive with one another, but if they were trying to win over the same person? absolute chaos
let's just say for fun y'all all go on a first date at the same time (bc I personally think it would be hilarious)
you let frank pick the activity y'all do together, and he purposefully sends matt on a wild goose chase telling him to meet at the mini golf place at 7pm, but, he doesn't specify which one. so a pissed off matt finally tracks you and frank down around 7:30 (by the scent of frank's cologne that he would know anywhere) and frank fires the first shot
"'bout time you showed up, red. don't you know it ain't polite to make a lady wait?"
"well I would have been on time if you had specified where this place was. do you know how many mini golf places there are in this city?"
"my bad, thought you'd be pickin' her up at her door with flowers too. guess that was just me though."
frank has the biggest grin on his face, meanwhile matt's cheeks are burning red, both from annoyance and from sprinting to catch up
but frank's victory is short lived when matt beckons you over with a charming smirk and an innocent request for help
"sweetheart, you mind helping me hit the ball? I don't exactly know where i'm aiming."
much to frank's dismay, he has to watch you press yourself up against matt's back, holding onto his hands that were around the golf club, and giggle instructions into his ear as you help him on where to aim
"aw now that's horseshit. you don't need her goddamn help, and you know it."
"i am blind, frank."
matt wears a cocky smirk with every ball you help him hit, but the more you start cheering for frank with how many perfect shots he's hitting (if there's one thing frank is good at it's aim), matt starts showing out too, and eventually the two men forget you're even playing with them bc they're competing against each other so hard
before they break out into a brawl in the sand pit, the three of you make your way to dinner, each of them insisting on holding one of your hands (which they refuse to let go of) so everyone walking in your direction has to go completely around the three of you
matt chose an incredibly romantic italian spot, and needless to say, the host was very confused seeing the three of you together (especially with the disgruntled looks on both of their faces bc they wanted you all to themselves)
not even five minutes pass before they're back at each other's throats
it starts with matt recommending a red wine to you and pronouncing the name of it wrong, to which frank sassily corrects him, and matt scowls across the table behind his red glasses
"what, you suddenly speak italian, castle?"
"i am italian, you dipshit."
matt, completely stunned by this new information, completely misses frank's insult and just stares blankly at him in surprise with raised brows
"what? since when?"
"the hell you mean since when? since I was born. ain't you s'posed to be some kinda genius or somethin'? I really gotta explain simple shit to you-"
"castle isn't italian-"
"no, but castiglione is. it got shortened to castle when my parents moved here from sicily-"
"and how the hell would I know that-"
"well maybe if you shut the fuck up every once in awhile-"
and this is where you have to intervene and redirect the conversation bc while them fighting over you was exciting and truthfully hot at first, it seems like they've spent a better half the night fighting each other, and that simply isn't acceptable
so you warn them that if they don't start playing nice, you'll leave them on the date alone together and go get your own dessert somewhere else
needless to say they suddenly start showing model behavior and redirect their attention where it should've been all along: on you
and i'll let your imagination run wild with how well that date goes and if you invite them both up for a drink or two ;)

The Sandbox Scientists ch. 3
Sooooo I may have been off about how long this would take, in my defense this is only my second multi-chapter fic! My solution to this is to stop guessing when things will be done so you get ch. 4 when you get it <3
Something I realized when double checking the opening scene is that I accidentally made it very unclear which Henry is narrating XD, I’ve decided to leave it that way
Big chapter this time! I thought about splitting it up but that's lame so you get what you get <3 Happy Thanksgiving!
(a03)
Henry was over the moon.
The adults liked science!!!
The adults like science the way they liked science!!!!!
They weren't mad or grossed out at all! Like the other grown ups and kids were when he talked about it.
The “Lodgers” as they called themselves had shown him and the other him all sorts of cool stuff! Like a GIANT octopus, and a metal man with glowing eyes, the biggest telescope he’d ever seen in his life, and even mice that were invisible!
There were so many labs here that were used for all sorts of things he didn’t understand yet!
Mr. Sinnet even let them hold his flamethrower!!
Not even his mother liked when he showed her his ‘science projects’. But these guys! They let him put his hands in the dirt and pick up a plant that moved!
Other Henry touched some slime that didn’t stick if he was fast enough!
And one of the lodgers gave them candy!
Whatever this place was was the best place EVER! He hoped Momma would let them come back sometime.
Archer, their new friend, leaned next to them while they tried the big lollipops someone named Doodle gave them.
“So, what kinda science is you two’s favorite? Neuroscience? Engineering? Cryptobiology?”
No one ever asked Henry what kind of science he liked! He also didn’t know what those words meant but he couldn’t wait to find out!
“Potions! I like to make potions with stuff I find outside! Oh and monsters! When I grow up I’m gonna be a monster doctor so I can help monsters when they get sick!”
Other him jumped in at this. “Yeah! I’m gonna make potions that bring people back to life, like Frankenstein!”
Someone nearby gasped. A hushed mutter ran through the crowd at this. Lodgers who had started to drift away and chat with their neighbors were suddenly pulled back into the boys’ conversation.
Archer straightened, and had an odd spark in his eyes.
“Sooooo, you like Frankenstein then?”
They nodded, “Mm hm! He’s the coolest scientist ever! I wanna be just like him!”
The whispers grew louder, with people giggling and nudging each other.
“You don’t say? Then I bet it’d be <em>really</em> cool if I were to tell you about a certain someone who’s in town.” Archer mused.
Henry paused in trying to bite his lollipop, “Who?”
Surely they couldn’t mean…
“Oh no one special,” he said, someone snickered behind them, “It’s just that we just so <em>happen</em> to have a certain… mad scientist in our attic right now.”
The boys froze where they were. For a moment Archer got a little worried.
“FRANKENSTEIN?!?!?!??!?!??!”
Frankenstein was having a quiet day.
She’d had her fair share of that in life, living in the wilderness, distancing herself from society. Hell, even before everything she had isolated herself from the world, driven everyone away lest the small minds find out about her incredible experiments.
Which was fine, she didn't need anyone else. So what if the lodgers had barely stopped by to talk to her all day? It didn’t bother her at all! It wasn’t like she took the slightest indication that she was being ignored with anything less than the <em>utmost</em> grace and dignity.
She huffed into her book and pretended not to be eyeing the door instead of it’s pages. Glaring as though hating it personally. As if her lovelies were just on the other side waiting to see her and this stubborn door was the problem.
Creature, the stone wall, was as content as ever with the silence. Enjoying a book of his own in the corner, likely philosophy or something.
Although constant companions and wholly comfortable talking to each other, the two had worn out their conversation topics years ago. Either agreeing on certain things or tired of arguing in circles on others.
There were days when they'd debate for hours about something she was <em>clearly</em> right about and days where they pretended the other didn’t exist.
Lately he often mocked her about her ‘adoring fans’.
Judged her for how greedily she drank up the attention like a surgical sponge. Languishing in the first shreds of approval she’d had in decades.
Well, he hadn't actually said any of that, but he was thinking it! She knew he was!
She could just feel his disapproval in how easily she was letting herself get attached as if it were her own…
Bah! What does he know?
She hears them before she sees them, WAY before she sees them. The gaggle of lodgers charging up the steps with almost as much enthusiasm as they did on her first day awake.
The woman straightened immediately, practically tossing her book aside and giving her full attention to the door.
Finally, Frankenstein’s day was resuscitated as a crowd of almost every lodger in the building burst into her room. All chattering and shifting and even waving at her like her prison of a bed was a grand stage or operating theatre.
They kept a respectable distance considering how small the room was with so many people in it. And she preened under their attention, ignoring creatures sigh at his reading being interrupted.
“Frankenstein! Frankenstein!” everyone called out excitedly. Eagerly talking over each other.
Everyone was smiling and leaning around each other to get a better view of her. All their words blending together. 
A hearty laugh bubbled out of Frankenstein’s chest. They were so energetic and curious, smart and idealistic. They were perfect scientist material!
She wanted to put them all in her pocket and take them with her on her travels, tell them stories, show them the world.
Oh, how she resented that idiotic Doctor Jekyll for keeping them in a box. The way he had them eating out of his perfectly manicured hand, thanking him for their gilded cage.
Well it was about time they bit that hand!
Couldn't they see how the world was not in their books and manuscripts, it was out there!
Frankenstein held her gloved hands up to quiet the noise, taking a big breath for what was sure to be a rallying speech that would finally convince the so-called lodgers to fight for their freedom.
“Frankenstein! We have some special guests who want to meet you!”
She was cut off by a few of the lodgers. Fighting their way through the crowd, they were ushering someone to the front, entirely hidden behind the energetic scientists.
Frankenstein blinked in surprise as there, pushed out of the huddle as though in offering, were two…children.
She froze.
A cold wind rushed through her, instantly snuffing out the spark she’d held seconds ago. Cutting through her coat to her core.
The two boys in front of her were distinctive in appearance, it nagged at her, distantly. But all she could see was William.
“These are our newest recruits! Henderson and what was it? Benry? Yeah Benry.”
There was no way anyone named these unfortunate children that, unless London had gotten weird while she was gone, but the two seemed too entranced with her creature to correct them.
The boys weren't even looking at her like everyone else was, eyes instead on the homunculi like he was some celebrity they got backstage tickets to see.
“We found them snooping ‘round our labs!” “Cripes they were hard to catch.” “These two are gonna be fine scientists someday!”
The creature that had killed her youngest brother.
She understood why he did it.
She understood it was her fault.
It was her fault. For making a monster with such strength, just to see if she could. It was her fault for abandoning it, leading to the resentment and hatred for all like her. All Frankensteins.
It was her fault he was dead.
No! It was the price one paid for Science, she was wrong to have attachments then and she would not let herself get attached to these kids now. Not when it meant people got hurt. Not when - aannnnnnd Creature was letting them climb on him like monkey bars.
To her shock Creature was holding perfectly still, staring in utter befuddlement at the small things crawling on him like bugs.
As hesitant as he looked, he wasn’t stopping them. Merely watching.
It was… odd.
This had never happened to him before. Fully grown adults who were hardened from life and trained to deal with criminals turned tail at the mere sight of him, yet here were two children, gazing up at him with round eyes like he was Santa Claus.
“WOW, you’re Frankenstein's monster?!”
“Did you kill Frankenstein?”
“Are you gonna kill someone else?”
“How did Frankenstein make you?”
“Can we be friends?”
“Do you wanna play doctor with us? Mr.Tanis gave me a scalpel!”
One of the lodgers yelped, “What!? I most certainly did not!”
The way they were looking at him…
The lodgers looked at him the same way. At first he had taken it with suspicion, as he did all things. Assuming that their looks were of scientific curiosity, and that they were imagining all the ways they could dissect him. Take him apart and find out how he ticked, just like Moraue longed to.
But now, it was obvious, they were looking at him with childlike wonder.
Creature stared mutely as the lodgers wrestled the knife from the boy with brown hair, not quite understanding it yet.
The blond’s hair tickled as it brushed against his shoulder, though he did not react to it. The two children were being surprisingly careful where they placed their hands, taking care to not pull on any of his seams.
Creature watched as the little one slipped off, landing back first on his lap with an “oof”. The fall wasn't tall enough to knock the breath out of him though, so he seemed fine.
Creature lifted him up, holding the boy in one palm. He giggled in response.
One of the lodgers whose name he didn’t know called out to the boys.
“Hey! Didn’t you want ‘ta meet Frankenstein?”
The man was standing by the bed, gesturing to his creator with a smile.
The two boys gasped and scrambled to her.
The woman seemed almost startled to have her name called, snapping out of her trance.
Frankenstein shook the clashing thoughts out of her head. The two children at her bedside were staring at her, opening and closing their mouths like they couldn’t grasp what question to ask first.
She looked at the one with brown hair. She had snorted instinctively when he pulled an actual scalpel out of nowhere. A fine scientist indeed.
The blonde one had eyes like she’d never seen before. Perhaps he was some sort of creature? Or a descendant of one at least. No humans eyes produced light like that for no reason.
They looked at her like she hung the stars, like she held the secret to life itself. Which she did of course. 
No wonder these boys had snuck into the society just to see her! Why, who wouldn’t want to see the infamous Dr. Frankenstein!
And what's more, these precious children were untainted by Dr. Henry’s lies! The false ideas of what a mad scientist should be, reliant on his wealth and equipment.
Victoria had always seen herself as Job, a man who had everything taken from him, everything he loved and everyone who loved him, only to be rewarded for his faith.
She’d always seen the advancement of science as her reward for carrying out her experiments, a higher plane of understanding, the closest a human could come to godhood. But… hadn’t Job’s been everything he’d lost twofold?
Maybe, when she and Creature left London, they wouldn’t have to leave alone.
[I was struck by LIGHTNING when writing this sentence. All of the sudden a whole new plotline was open to me. One where Henry stays with the society and Edward is offered the chance to leave with Frankenstein to the _ forests.
It reminds me of gravity falls when the twins argue over Dipper taking Ford’s internship.]
Frankenstein puffed up her chest and launched into a story.
When Lanyon returned he waltzed through the kitchen door, swinging it open dramatically.
“Rachel, I'm back! I told the tailor Edward lost their bags on the trip here, so they need a new wardrobe.” he crowed, only to see an empty kitchen.
Hm, not in here. He wandered out again, peeking down random hallways.
He hadn't really told them that. As soon as he’d handed off the note and the words “childrens clothes” were out of his mouth Lady Beatrice and Lady Kimberleigh had practically mobbed him. Gushing and asking if he and Everly had finally had luck with a baby. He nearly had to beat the women off with a clothing hanger!
He shuddered at the thought of what rumors would come of this.
Regardless, the outfits were ordered and they could pick up a set in the morning.
“Rachel! Henry! Where in the blazes are you?”
“Robert!!”
He paused in the middle of the hall. That was Rachel. But he’d never heard her shout like that. She sounded almost scared, Rachel never sounded scared! Not even when Hyde disappeared after the fire.
He turned around and was surprised to see her running up to him with wide eyes, her hair a mess like she'd been running her hands through it. Her eyes red and puffy.
“Robert I’ve been looking everywhere and I <em>can’t</em> find them I can’t I've looked everywhere please tell me you know where they are.” she gasped, skidding to a stop.
His eyes widened, heartbeat picking up, “Know where- what?! Rachel you were the one who claimed <em>I</em> couldn't handle them, don’t tell me you’ve lost them already!”
The day manager tried to catch her breath, swiping a lock out of her eye.
“I was-! I took my eyes off them for just a minute! I left them to get changed while I made some sandwiches and I told- I told them to come to the kitchen after but they didn't and I went back for them but they- Robert they weren't there and I’ve <em>looked</em> everywhere oh what if they’ve left the building? Robert I <em>can’t</em> lose him again! I can’t!” she cried.
Lanyon had <em>never</em> seen her like this, she was always so sure and confident, it honestly made him nervous.
She reached out to him for a hug and he flinched back like her arms were livewires.
“Er, Well!! They can’t have gone too far! I’m sure they're just hiding or something. Kids do that, I think. Surely there's some nook or cranny you haven't checked yet!” He was stone stiff oh god where was Jekyll when you needed him, he can't comfort this poor girl!
Rachel just shook her head, curls flying, “No no I checked my room, Henry’s office, I checked all the labs and rooms and bathrooms I can’t think of anywhere else <em>to</em> look!”
“Well, they’ve gotta be here, can't the lodgers whip up some sort of, I don’t know, finding device?” He peered down the hall, hoping to flag down the nearest one and get them to deal with this. Unfortunately it seemed like he was on his own for this one.
“I don’t think that's how it works Lanyon, besides it’d take far too long, what if they're hurt?”
“Well they should at least <em>try</em>.” He huffed, “It wouldn't hurt to have more people looking either. Where are the lodgers anyway?” Now that he thought of it he hadn’t seen anyone besides Rachel since walking in.
Rachel sniffed, rubbing her face and breathing more evenly.
“Oh yeah, they were all running around earlier, some sort of emergency.
I think Griffin finally turned invisible and they lost him or something.”
She looked around, just noticing how empty the halls were.
“Uh, that was a while ago actually. They should have found him by now.”
Lanyon shifted uncomfortably. First Henry and Edward, now the whole society? Whatever was going on couldn’t be good.
In fact, it was almost suspicious how everyone had gone missing at the same time while he was gone…
“Wait. Oh god, What if the lodgers have them? The lodgers hate Henry! What if they took him away? What if they’re experimenting on him right now to find out why he’s small?!” Lanyon yelped.
Rachel frowned at him, “The lodgers do not hate Henry.”
“Oh yeah? What about the exhibition they’re all refusing to take part in? You’ve heard what they're saying about him, that he’s somehow corrupt and ‘rotten’ just because he hasn't gone off the deep end and killed anyone using science or something!”
“They're just going through a bit of a rebellious phase right now.” she defended, “And besides, even if they did, they love Hyde, they drink and play games all the time! They wouldn't hurt him.”
“That's worse!” Lanyon cried. He resisted the urge to run his hands through his styled hair, “Hyde’s planning on killing Jekyll for his will! What if the lodgers are in on it? What if they know he inherits the society? Now would be the perfect time to do it, they probably took him off to Queen Frankenstein while he’s small and defenseless!”
“Edward is <em>not</em> plotting to kill Jekyll!” Rachel shouted, “Would you give that a rest already! As for Franken..stein…”
The two looked at each other with wide eyes and bolted for the stairs.
“And that's when the beast pounced! I dropped my torch and rolled out of the way, I heard it crash into the brush behind me and took the chance to make a break for it. I ran all night, struggling to see my way in the dark and knowing it had no such human limitations. 
Miles away from civilization I knew my only chance was to somehow find Creature in the snowy woods before the beast found me.”
The lodgers gasped quietly and whispered to each other, sitting criss-crossed on the floor.
Both children were sat on Frankenstein’s lap, enraptured by her tale. They looked up at her with wide eyes, hanging on her every word.
“At one point I stumbled my way into a clearing, the…vollmond shining down on me. It was close behind, I could hear the thing snapping branches like twigs. I knew the only way was forward and started running. I could barely breathe, my legs felt like lead, with every step I took it only got closer, bounding after me on all six legs. It’s wide maw-”
The door slammed open with a bang. Everyone jumped, some people screaming in surprise.
Everyone whirled around.
At the door were two figures, hidden by the shaded doorframe.
Frankenstein huffed, more annoyed than anything. 
“Really doctor, this is the second time you've interrupted my tales for your insipid formula…Oh, the other one.”
The doctor coming toward her was not Jekyll, as she assumed, but Lanyon. The purple man was trudging through the crowd on the floor, stepping on hands and nearly tripping over people in his haste.
She crossed her arms, huffing, “Really, you and your-”
“GET AWAY FROM HIM!”
As soon as he was in range Robert snatched Henry off her lap. Earning a startled yelp from the boy.
Frankenstein jolted, confused. She hadn't seen this man much and while he was never the most agreeable person, she'd never seen him so furious.
She sputtered as he held the boy to his chest the way mothers did when she and Creature walked by. If she were in a better mood she’d get a kick out of the gentleman fearing her more than her creation.
“What in the world do you think you're doing? Grabbing this boy like you own him when I was <em>clearly</em>-!”
“What are you doing to him? Huh? Putting ideas in his head, trying to make him mad like you!” he accused, holding the boy tight while he squirmed uncomfortably.
“I bet you people are trying to brainwash him! Get him involved in unnatural things and mad scientist nonsense!”
Rachel, who was much shorter than the doctor and was caught behind the now-standing crowd of lodgers, tried to call out to him. “Er, Robert! I don’t think-” 
“Hey! What's your problem?” “We’re having storytime here!” “You're in the way!” “Leave him alone!” “Frankenstein ain’t done nothing wrong!”
Lanyon turned on the crowd with a snarl.
“Nothing wrong? Are you people crazy? She hit him!!”
Everyone gasped at the wild accusation. Of course they were on her side! Nevermind that Henry was just trying to help her when she hit him! Nevermind that she didn’t even have the grace to apologize!
One of the lodgers he did recognize, Helsby, immediately jumped to the quacks' defense.
“How <em>dare</em> you say that about Frankenstein! You rich pricks are all the same! Slandering good people's names when it suits you!”
“Frankenstein would never do that!”
“Yeah! We’ve been here the whole time and she never hurt him at all!”
Frankenstein herself looked unbelievably offended, her face a likely unhealthy shade of red for someone her age. “Dr. Robert I’m aware you disapprove of my presence here but I have NO intentions of hurting any child.” she spat coldly.
“Oh yeah? Even if that child is Jekyll?” He challenged.
“I- what on earth are you talking about you simpleton, that's not doctor Jekyll thats…”
Frankenstein looked at the boy squirming in his arms, <em>really</em> looked at him.
The smaller boy was still on the bed with her, pulling on the brunette in Robert’s arms. The brunette reached back, holding onto the other, looking at him with red eyes… he had a rather hooked nose…
The lodgers took up her rebuttal with vigor.
“What? Lanyon, did you hit your head man?”
“Yeah obviously that's Benry!”
Robert stared incredulously at the room full of scientists and doctors. Jaw hanging wide.
“<em>Are you telling me not a single one of you realized they're Jekyll and Hyde?!</em>”
Every person in the room stopped still.
“<em>WHAT???</em>”
“What did <em>Jekyll</em> do to get on Ito’s bad side?”
“Wait, you guys didn’t know that?”
“You did??? Why didn’t you say anything?!”
“I thought we all knew and just weren't talking about it!”
“WHY WOULD WE DO THAT?!”
“Oh, I thought they were Jekyll and Hyde's secret love children.”
“<em>What?!</em>”
“What, you think one of them's a girl? And besides, Hyde's only worked here the past two years, these guys are older than that!”
“So? Are you saying Hyde didn't exist before then or what? You think Hyde spontaneously came into existence two years ago? Huh?”
“Are YOU saying only girls can give birth? Some gals are guys!”
“Sure but Hyde??”
“He <em>is</em> rather short for a man his age.”
“Actually I was thinking Jekyll, he seems kinda feminine doesn't he?”
“Maybe Hyde knocked Jekyll up and recently found out about them! And he stayed to be a good father!”
“Pfft! Hyde? A good father? Now you're talking crazy.”
“I bet <em>that's</em> why Jekyll’s kept him around so long! He's the father of their children!”
Lanyon felt anger and disbelief rush through his whole body. He worked his mouth trying to say whatever was on his mind that wasn’t straight cussing.
“I - I - NEITHER OF THEM ARE WOMEN AND THESE AREN'T THEIR SECRET LOVE CHILDREN WOULD YOU LOT SHUT IT ALREADY”
Robert held a hand to his temples, his face screwed into a scowl.
“We suspect they were testing some sort of potion and something went wrong, turning them both into children.”
“Both of them drank it?” “What kind of potion?” “Wait but why don’t they remember us?” “Are they stuck like this?”
“Stuck like what?”
He stiffened. For a moment he’d entirely forgotten he was still holding Henry in his arms.
The boy was looking up at him, wide red eyes searching his face for something.
“Are-are we, we didn’t…?”
Suddenly Lanyon realized they had been hiding it. He and Rachel hadn’t mentioned who they were, why they knew them, or the real reason they couldn't go home. Hell they had even left the kitchen earlier to talk out of earshot.
They hadn’t meant to keep it from them. Honestly hiding it hadn't crossed their minds, but, neither did telling them. 
It felt wrong somehow. Like they weren't planning on having them around long enough to have the need to explain it to them. 
The boys hadn't asked why they knew them, too young to really distrust them. They just assumed all adults knew everything.
Before he had to answer and make everything worse, Rachel cut in. Now free of the jostling crowd and finally making it to Frankenstein’s bedside.
“Er, so, you remember when we found you, and we knew your names?” she asked.
The boys nod slowly, quietly looking at her.
“Well, nobody told us your names, we know them because, well I guess you told us.
We’re friends. We have been for a while, but, you two are supposed to be adults. Like us. Your names are Edward Hyde and Dr. Henry Jekyll. And you work here at the society, like we do.”
Henry tightened his hands on Robert's sleeve, face unreadable.
Edward gaped at the woman, still standing on the bed.
“But- but we’re not, we didn't drink any potions. We were at home!”
“I know, I know this doesn’t make any sense, I’m sorry for that. But, this isn’t so bad is it? We can take care of you! We’re gonna find a way to fix this. Right?”
She glanced at Robert, who was tight-lipped and looking at his friend with a distracted look in his eyes.
“Uh, right.”
“That-That’s ridiculous!!”
Right. Frankenstein was still there.
Robert slowly composed himself, the smugness he felt in realizing the woman had been speechless that whole time fueling his salty soul.
As mad as she had looked earlier, it was a cold sort of anger. This? This sputtering rage was fuming.
“This boy cannot be Dr. Henry! He is a scientist! That blasted doctor is nothing but a-a-a shameful fake and a stain on the name of science itself! Henry Jekyll is a disgrace of an alchemist and false idol of respectability and hollowness!
I detest that horrible man!” She gestured to the boy in Robert's arms, “How dare you make the wild claim that he is…that…”
Her eyes widened as she saw the expression on said boy's face.
Everyone in the room stared in horror as both kids BURST into tears.
“What is <em>wrong</em> with you??”
Rachel grabbed Henry from Robert. Who was holding the sobbing boy as far away from himself as he possibly could. Then snatched Edward up under her other arm. Storming from the room in a hurry.
She could hear Lanyon and Frankenstein start shouting behind her, quickly joined by everyone else. 
Rachel kicked the door shut behind them and sprinted all the way to Jekyll’s office.
When they got there she had to put the boys down to open the door. 
They had stopped crying by now but were eerily silent. Both looking down at their feet.
“Don’t listen to Frankenstein, both of you. That old hag's hated Dr. Jay since she got here for no reason at all! She isn’t even a real doctor!” she huffed.
Her voice hammered through the silence in a way that almost made her regret speaking at all. But the boys didn’t so much as flinch.
Creasing her eyebrows in worry, Rachel led them to the side room she knew Jekyll usually slept in instead of his own house. She's not sure exactly how old they are right now but they were definitely young enough to need a nap after all that.
As the boys walked past her she snatched Edward up into a hug and <em>squeezed</em>.
He startled, kicking his legs around. “Hey! Stop doing that!”
“Goodness sakes you two! Do you have any idea how worried I was when you ran off? I have half a mind to lecture you for leaving like that! But…”  now wasn’t a good time to scold them, “ I’ll let it slide if you chickadees lay down without a fuss.” she promised, nodding to the bedroom.
Henry looked around the room, there wasn’t much to see. More red curtains blocking out the light, a single bed pushed up against the wall, and a rather large wardrobe. Like the office, there were a lot of books, either on shelves or just the floor. There were many frames on the walls but it was too dark to make out many details.
They didn’t have shoes to remove so Rachel set Edward down on the bed, Henry hopping up next to him.
Sniffing, the two nuzzled into the pillows quietly as Rachel tucked the blankets in around them. 
Rachel is leaning against the doorway between Jekyll’s office and room when she hears the doorknob rattle.
She startles a bit, instinctively reaching for the kitchen knife in her pocket. <em>I swear to god if that wretch hobbled all the way here just to-</em>
The office door swings open to reveal Lanyon.
He blinks when he sees her, but doesn’t look too surprised. Mostly he just looks tired.
Behind him was Ito, who followed him into the room silently. She nodded at Rachel in acknowledgement, who nodded back.
Rachel peeked into the room, still asleep.
She pushed off the doorframe and with a final glance back, gently closed the door.
Lanyon sighed, stopping at Jekyll’s desk.“I talked to the lodgers, they're not to tell anyone outside of the society about this. Ms. Ito has volunteered to take a look at whatever potion they drank.”
Ito, who had been drawn by the shouting, had been given a rundown by the other lodgers. And, unamused at the grown adults all talking over each other, waited politely til Lanyon was done to offer her services.
“Dr.Jekyll taught me everything I know, if anyone can figure out what went wrong it would be me.” she stated.
“Alright, we think this is the potion they took.” Robert grabbed the glass container lying on the desk to hand to Ito, “It was the only one out of place when we came in, though neither of us actually saw them drink it.”
She nodded, taking the glass and holding it to the light.
There was very little liquid left. It looked to be a dull brown at first but when she tilted in one way and the other there was an oily red and green residue around the edges.
She sniffed at the potion, the smell alone almost made her gag. An unholy mix of so much salt she could smell it and residual fumes that made her head spin. Frankly she's surprised the two men managed to swallow this at all. Though with the things she’s seen Hyde eat maybe she shouldn’t be.
Ito sighed, “This just doesn’t make any sense, Dr. Jekyll would have measured out exact amounts, and certainly taken it one at a time if they were testing something new. Unless it had a delayed reaction.”
“What if it wasn’t something new?” Rachel suggested, “What if they did this a lot and were more casual with it?”
“Maybe, but what would they be so casual with? Do they take the same medication?”
“Mm, not that I know of. Maybe not medicine then? I know Edward drinks random potions sometimes for the hell of it.” she laughed quietly, “One time he vomited some sort of green goo in my sink and ran all the way to Jekyll's office.”
“Not to mention we practically have to force Henry to take medicine when he <em>is</em> sick.” Robert offered. The only thing he knew of Jekyll self-medicating with was wine, and it didn't typically de-age people by almost thirty years.
Ito poked around the desk in silence. She knew Dr. Jekyll was usually a dedicated note-taker, but again, if this was something he did often there would be no reason to.
Frustratingly, the habit of putting ingredients away after herself that the doctor tried so hard to drill into her was working against them now.
Usually it meant that volatile materials weren't lying around waiting to be knocked over and cause messes, or even small explosions. But in this case it meant she had no idea what ingredients were used in this experiment.
Dammit. She sighed and turned to Rachel and Lanyon.
“Alright, so basically I have no clue what this was originally supposed to do, much less how it went wrong, much less how to reverse it. 
I can take a closer look at this with some equipment but this isn’t a lot to work with.”
The two looked at her in shock, like she’d grown another head.
Robert bit his lip, tiredness quickly replaced with nervous energy.
“Can’t you just, give them a potion that makes them older?” he asked.
Ito made a face. “I…don’t think that would be a good idea. If we forced them to grow up they still wouldn't have any of their old memories, they'd just be adult-shaped children. And that's <em>if</em> something like that would work and not mix negatively with whatever they've taken. For all we know this could be a temporary side effect, and changing anything would mess everything up.”
“So they just, won’t remember us? Everything we’ve done together, everything we’ve talked about, all the time we spent together is just gone?” Rachel cried, “There's nothing we can do to get them back?”
Robert clenched his fists on the desk.
Ito sighed, “I know this isn’t what you want to hear but I think the best thing to do is just try to wait this out.”
She refused to say something so terrible out loud, but there might not be a solution to this.
Lanyon’s expression is blank with shock, then twists into anger.
“Well are we just supposed to wait forever?! Wait for them to grow up naturally? What about our friends? Our- our-!”
Ito clenched her jaw, “They’re my friends too.” she snapped.
“Look, there’s not much I can do with the information we have, Dr. Lanyon.
Even if I knew what went wrong and how to reverse this we'd need a ton of body parts. One of the most basic rules of alchemy is that mass can't be made or destroyed and I’m not even sure where it went when they shrank!” she said, throwing her hands up.
The neo alchemist took what remained of the potion and walked out of the room, leaving the two leaning over the desk in despair.
“I'll keep working on it but please, don’t get your hopes up.”
She closed the office door behind her to give them some privacy.

can i request first kiss with tetcho and anyone else you want? ^^
yes you certainly can my love!!
Their first kiss with you
Tumblr media
♡ pairing: Tecchou Suehiro, Atsushi Nakajima, Oda Sakunosuke, Lucy Montgomery x gn!Reader
♡ synopsis: Your first kiss with them!
♡ cw: Very slight implications of NSFW in Tecchou's part, but otherwise pure fluff :)
note: Well, this took far too long. I'm sorry anon T-T fortunately I am starting to catch up with most of my reqs, so hopefully I'll be able to open reqs again soon! (for clarification I'm currently completing ones I received before closing my requests) Apologies for errors and I hope you enjoy x
Tumblr media
Tecchou:
Offbeat as he is, he's secretly so serious about it. He's crazy adamant on not messing this moment up lol
He initially intended to make it fun and fancy, like take you out to some restaurant and make it all romantic (that's probably what the other Hunting Dogs suggested), but in reality you're both just sitting on the couch at your place together playing video games and eating pizza and other random snacks
Your relationship was progressing steadily but Tecchou wanted to make the next big move, so he wanted to kiss you while he was spending the night with you (and possibly do other things idk)
You guys were currently watching a movie (it can be whatever film you want) and Tecchou just keeps thinking about kissing you. He's even more aloof than usual and you do eventually notice it.
When you decide to ask him if something's wrong, he turns to you and asks "Is it alright if I kiss you?" Tecchou's always been a very direct person after all!
You pause out of shock for a second or two, but you quickly tell him that you'd be more than happy if he kissed you.
So, Tecchou does kiss you after gently caressing your cheek. He's a surprisingly soft and gentle kisser. You two end up making out for a while and ignoring the movie lol
Perhaps the casual staying-in date was a better setting for your first kiss with him after all ^-^
Atsushi:
You've never seen him so nervous in your life
Throughout your whole date you were already aware that he was planning to end it with your first kiss (poor thing is too obvious) but you didn't say anything because you didn't wanna embarrass him.
He tries to keep the mood at ease but he's just so clearly trying to build up his courage to do it so it's kinda hard to be normal with him without giving away the fact that you're in the know.
The date is the two of you going out to eat one evening (perhaps at a diner of some sort), and then wandering around the port together and admiring the environment (city lights are quite romantic, after all)
You two are sitting at a bench near the sea, it's comfortably quiet between the two of you, but you know Atsushi is still trying to figure out how to approach this
Eventually you decide enough is enough and just do it for him. You grab his attention, pull him in and kiss him. He short circuits and when you pull away is speechless, and his face is also so pink. It's honestly super cute
But when you kiss him again he's less shocked, and so he kisses back. And, what do you know, he's great at it! If you could, you would make out with Atsushi for hours.
"I've been wanting to do that for the longest time," he breathes, after you two pull apart for air. And that's hot, my friends. Only cowards would deny it 😌
Oda:
You two usually spent your dates in places that most people wouldn't really consider romantic (eg. Bar Lupin, just strolling through the danker streets of Yokohama, sitting in your car in a parking lot somewhere (it's an aesthetic guys))
On these dates you two tend to have conversations about life, philosophy, literature and other stuff like that.
You and Oda are sitting side by side, and he's watching you with this lovestruck look on his face while you're talking about something you're passionate about.
When you notice, you ask him what the matter is, to which he simply smiles and tells you that you look adorable.
As if that wasn't enough he then adds "To be honest, I'd really like to kiss you." Cue your short circuiting, and Odasaku's chuckling while he watches this.
Eventually though you tell him that you really wouldn't mind that, and so he slowly leans in and presses his lips to yours. Afterwards he tells you that you taste sweeter than he could have imagined, and he'll also kiss your hand like the gentleman he is
Whether or not you continue really depends whether or not you're in private or public, so you can either go back to talking or you can just make out with him (he's more than happy to do both)
On the surface your first kiss with Oda seems casual enough but you're both reeling with butterflies afterwards (help I want him so bad)
Lucy:
She kinda drags it out for a while. Lucy really wants to kiss you, but she's too afraid to admit that to you, but she also doesn't wanna kiss you out of nowhere because that's rude. She doesn't know what to do
You and Lucy would have super cute dates- cafe visits, walks in the park, classic romantic stuff. She's very cute and old school like that
This particular date is a picnic, like on a summer afternoon in the park. Often Lucy is a bit of a chatterbox and loves to converse with you but today she's a little quiet.
You ask her if she's alright because she's also eating less than normal, and with a blush she insists that she's fine and tells you to enjoy yourself.
You try to brush it off and the date continues all fine and well, but when comes the time to eat the cake that she brought, she offers to feed it to you. She's so clearly nervous while doing this, even though it's not the first time she's fed you
Once you both finish eating she takes a breath and finally blurts out "Can I kiss you?"
When it clicks that this is why she's been nervous the whole time you start laughing and she gets mad at you (though she's just a little embarrassed is all)
You tell her that of course she can kiss you, and so she does (with a huge blush on her face lol). And she tastes like strawberries <3

Dialogue idea!!! Just open everything camus has ever written. Once Johan goes on his nihilistic rants have the reader “myth of Sisyphus” their way through the conversation. I just wanna see johan go “life is horrible people are assholes” and be answered with “you gonna let the assholes win bby?” I just think Camus had such a big dick
Yes Yes Yes!!!! As I've mentioned on this blog I started this blog to let out all that of my binge study philosophy recently, and the x reader aspect would just be a sideline (clown behaviour, look where we are now), but I absolutely agree with reader being an absurdist or existential nihilist would be a perfect response to his nihilism!
Because in that way, the foundation of your relationship with him isn't an actual disagreement?? You're not saying he's wrong, like he's even right on some points. I bet when he sees you all unfazed and still enjoying life he'd think it's because you haven't seen "the darkness" yet or something like that (which in and of itself is already a major flaw in his argument, please exploit this).
So imagine his surprise when you not only understand the aspects of nihilism, but you subscribe to it as well???? He'd be a bit baffled because why is it you understand his views to a T, hell even adding your own thoughts on it, but you're so... well, like that?
Even better is if, let's say you're not really strong enough to completely defend your absurdist/existential nihilist views, Johan's pessimistic nihilism isn't really solid too. @/ddarker-dreams mentioned it (bless them 🙏 and their immaculate work) that Johan will point out that you don't have a perfect argument, but that's all fine and dandy because you can point out that he doesn't too!
So hell, even a person who may not be an absurdist or existential nihilist yet or have firm views, can call Johan out too if they wanted to. You can just socratic method that bitch because pessimistic nihilism has a lot of holes once you realise it. HECK! BE GENUINELY CURIOUS WITH HIM! inquire about him, ask him! See how long he can defend his idealogy.
"The only thing human beings are equal in is death" okay so you know that there is injustice and unfairness around us? "Yes, but that is natural, there is no point in fighting cruelty" of course it's natural but you can't deny that we haven't made immense progress of our treatment of fellow humans and handling conflict throughout our time?? "Said progress is futile, the cycle of destruction and cruelty will just continue in another form, in another era" and won't peace and conflict resolution also not be making an appearance in another form? in another era? "you're being clouded by your blind optimism and irrationality" and you think you're beloved nihilism isn't clouded by your own pessimism and personal experiences? and looking at things with rationality WILL make you despair of course, the odds are against you but do you really think history and progress weren't made BECAUSE of irrationality? Freaking Rosa Parks sitting on the white section of the bus is irrational, but look what she's done!! look what it's done!! look what it has achieved!! look at where it's brought us! humans!! RAHHHHH
Anyways, Johan is scary yes but as long as you acknowledge his 1990s doomerism and realise that although you may not have it all figured out— he doesn't too, then I think you're good to go.
(also side note but like literally Nietzsche and Schopenhauer themselves said like the solution to nihilism and pessimism and the cruelty and darkness is to prevail and to enjoy art and touch grass and all that 💀)

Ok but the real question is how would Kaveh and Ratio interact, because while Ratio is very similar to Alhaitham, they do have some notible differences.
Like he does seem to be more altruistic than Ahaitham in a sense (like his main goal is to help people learn, while haitham's is to just lead a simple life), also Ratio seems to have more appreciation for arts (at least I think) and I can see Kaveh getting alone with with him in that sense.
On the other hand I can also see Kaveh just not vibing with his personality or his methods. Either way i feel like a conversation between the two would be interesting to watch... even if theres a good chance I wouldn't understand half of what they're saying
(Aslo there's a good chance i got some of Dr. Ratio's characterization wrong, haven't exactly had the same amount of time to dissecte his character as we have with Kaveh & Alhaitham, so I could have missed something or misinterpreted it)
dr ratio shares some similarities to haitham regarding some traits (extremely intelligent, self centered, confident, a buff scholar etc) but is different. he gets angry or aggressive often when faced with ignorance or smth he regards as stupid; the most emotion (not counting azar scene) i heard of haitham being slightly pissy is the one time in aaru village when he told dehya to stop yelling AHHAHA (i just love how he says it, hes so cute ugh)
ratio detests ignorance and stupidity but not bc he thinks of himself as smth better but bc he sees those as illnesses dulling ppls minds and he wants to cure it by sharing his knowledge with the universe.
haitham and ratio both want ppl to use their brains yes, but haitham doesnt rlly care about educating ppl (in fact he doesnt rlly care about anything unless it directly affects him, seeing that he doesnt even bother correcting ppls mistakes or false claims unless it will trouble him. this is just connected to his philosophy tho, prioritizing/taking care of himself first, not meddling and believing that it would cause much less problems in general and lead to simpler lives if everyone else would do the same. its not that he doesnt care bc he hates ppl. hes asocial, not antisocial)
so yes, while haitham doesnt care about ppl and their intellectual level (yall remember how he picked books that are easy and interesting for paimon to read in his last birthday mail? my heart still gets warm aaa) ratio detests "stupidity" (not ppl or "stupid ppl") as he regards it as a disease; so much so that he wears that mask so he doesnt have to look at it. hes a professor wanting to educate ppl like a doctor wanting to cure an illness. he believes that intellect and creativity isnt smth only geniuses have but for everyone and everyone can reach higher intellectual levels if they educate themselves enough and learn how to use their brains, if they lose their ignorance.
this is the impression i got tho with the bits we have!! ofc i can be wrong with what i think.
anw ratios philosophy/goals are grander than haithams; it certainly isnt bc ratios such a good man who wants to educate the universe tho (i just know hes a mean prof u dont wanna disappoint), its just bc he wants to get rid of that which he regards as illness. i think its more egoistical reasons there, bro doesnt want to taint his eyes any more or smth
anw i think esp with the line about him believing that "intellect and creativity isnt confined to geniuses", and the appreciation for good arts, him and kaveh meeting would be very interesting. also they get angered so fast its funny
