#if i kicked him out the team wouldn't be able to kill shit

[rubys-domain]

saw a bunch of teapot designs on youtube and i am ENVIOUS 😭

[theblobmaster]

i've been thinking about omega jason for a while now. specifically why he'd be an omega.

jason was TINY before his dip in the lazarus pit. his death certificate says 4'6" and 87 lbs (137 cm & 39,5 kg) which at 15yo is very, very fucking small.

and then after lazarus pit he's now 6' and 225 lbs (183 cm & 111 kg). so that's a big difference from what is hinted to be an adjustment of his stunted growth because of malnutrition in his early childhood.

but back to omegaverse, now i normally don't really like the whole omega = small, alpha = big, because that's fucking boring and very heteronormative. BUT let's say that because of that course correction the pit did on his build would indicate that jason was supposed to be an alpha.

so what if, in an omegaverse au, because of his malnutrition, because of how he grew up, his biology changed. knew he no longer would be able to grow into that big ass alpha that his genes promised and instead decided to develop the more latent omega genes and after he begins to find a place at the manor to feels safe, a place where his body feels like he would be able to present in, he goes into heat not long before he dies. maybe he only has that one presenting heat and not really finding his footing with his secondary gender before he dies.

and then he comes back, the superboy prime punch, and then the wandering on the streets before talia finds him, and it would make sense if he didn't have any heats in that period because of the heightened stress his body was going through so he's not producing a lot of scent pheromones and omega hormones.

when he comes to himself after the lazarus pit, and his body starts to adjust to his new growth spurt, focusing his energy on that and still not producing any of those obvious omega pheromones and hormones and talia never learnt his dynamic before he died. (maybe bruce didn't know, maybe he did and just didn't tell who knows)

and if we go with the whole body not going into season when it seems like it's not safe. his years training with all of those expert teachers of how to kill ect he wouldn't get a heat.

just jason thinking he lost his secondary gender when he died, and not finding it important because there's nothing indicating he'll ever go into heat again. maybe it was just a fluke that first time?

and he comes back to gotham, and he has his showdown with bruce and it goes to shit. but then it starts to settle and jason starts to find a footing and places he feels safe in, finds teams he can count on.

with that his body starts producing those hormones again, people around him starts to notice a change in his scent, but jason doesn't notice how they also change with that pheromone change from him.

until one day where he is at that one safehouse, that's more home than the others and bam he's in heat and he has only experienced that once before, it's been a lifetime and many years since he was holed up in his room in the manor and had alfred making sure he had food and water and a hotpack for the cramps and for a short moment he panics. wants to reach out and call alfred, ask for help, but isn't sure if he'd get it

idk i have a lot of feelings about omega jason. and i think there's so many interesting ways to explore omegaverse and the way it can function through omega jason.

(also because i love them, dick coming to see if jason can help with a case and instead discovers his little wing sweating profusely and curled up and he can't not help out. he's not ready for all of those heat pheromones, but he takes it in stride and decides to work through how jason is apparently an omega later and instead just makes sure that jason is hydrated and takes care of him until jason is lucid enough to be embarrassed and kicks him out)

Given the release of X Men 97 and the fact X Men Evolution is easily my favorite version of the team, I've actually been kicking around the idea of doing a crossover fic where Ben joins the X Men after being stranded in a Marvel world and researching the various superhero teams he can join.

Like obviously he'd be the most powerful Avenger/X Men since he can literally go to cosmic scales at the drop of a hat and do shit like casually hand Thanos or Apocalypse their ass with zero effort but seeing as he'd likewise know that I honestly think he'd make the conscious decision to join the X Men out of any given superhero group because there's no way in hell he'd allow all that genocide and lynching and shit that happens to mutants all the time slide.

Hell he'd probably even agree with Magneto and absolutely sympathize with his already being a Holocaust survivor once already and not wanting his people to do it again. Though obviously Ben would disagree with his methods.

Oh and since mind scapes are big things in Marvel I figured the Omnitrix would basically make him immune to psychic tampering because it'd be his mind scape and thus have all of the esoteric defenses in place the Omnitrix already has as well as the various fail-safes.

Like that isn't to say he'd cooldown his heroic drive in Marvel of course, he'd absolutely get involved with stopping Galactus or whatever and not really abide by the whole "people being too busy or otherwise occupied and thus not able to help with the given crisis of the day" thing that's so common in Marvel stories even if it's nominally a shared universe.

Just look at everything that happened in Genosha and shit.

Given how often he'd interfere plenty of heroes really wouldn't like him lol since Ben would absolutely be ok with killing a motherfucker. Like the Maximum Carnage storyline? Ben wouldn't hesitate to kill Carnage and probably end up fucking hating Spider-Man for stopping other people from killing him in the first place.

It'd actually be pretty interesting to see how his presence would affect the canon of Marvel.

Like he could pretty easily make Galactus a non problem by using his super smart aliens/Galactus's own help to make a machine that can just fucking make planets for him to devour. The Galvan entirely remade their planet in less than 6 months after it was blown up by the Highbreed. Working with Galactus it'd be fucking trivial to give him a endless buffet of planets to feed on so he doesn't have to target planets with populations on them, something Galactus himself doesn't even like doing.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Galactus straight up made Ben his herald or something assuming the watch couldn't just scan him since he has DNA and shit.

If anyone would be down to co write this or something hmu in the comments or pm lol it's incredibly fun to think about the realistic consequences of a twist of fate like this.

[laelior]

So. Beth and the aftermath of akuze. Do you have any thoughts about her recovery process? What weighs hardest on her? And Marian Lou, I'll take any info about them, too. I love the thought of two almost making it. I'm sad they didn't both make it off akuze and then the inevitable happens later, during recovery. (or, you know, doesn't happen at all. Why can't they both make it. Why. Tell me. Don't be cruel.)

First of all, thank you so much for the ask!

My answer is a bit long, so it's under a cut.

There were two parts to her recovery: physical and mental/emotional, as is true for pretty much every Sole Survivor Shep.

The physical recovery was the more straightforward of the two. She almost lost a leg from damage to her femoral artery (one of her own squad members panicked and accidentally shot her) and had to have skin grafts over 20% of her body (thresher maw acid). These took time to heal, and she was not particularly compliant with the care team that treated her because she was in a truly shitty mental state. It took her a good two months to get back on her feet, and another month on top of that to get cleared for light duty again.

Arguably, she never emotionally recovered from it. She had other traumatic losses in her life (see: Mindoir), but she was able to externalize that to a large degree by joining the Alliance. The Alliance, for their part, was happy to help her hone her trauma into a weapon that she wielded mercilessly against batarians, slavers, and pirates she came across.

She joined the Alliance as something of a brat, 100% convinced that she was hot shit after killing four of the batarian raiders when she was barely 16. Between her attitude and her being a biotic, she didn't make many friends. Except for Marian Luo and Eva Radnakova. The three of them remained close after basic, but Marian was really the glue that kept their social circle together. She and Beth had an off-and-on friends with benefits arrangement that developed into genuine feelings over time, but neither of them was mature enough to really deal with it. It was complex and a bit thorny, especially when Beth became her commanding officer, and sometimes strained their friendship with Eva, who felt like something of a third wheel.

The ending of the Akuze ficlet was intentionally vague with respect to how Marian died. The only people who know what actually happened are Beth herself and Anderson, who coaxed it out of her when he was interviewing her for N-school. She was convinced he was going to kick her out of the Alliance. She wanted him to kick her out of the Alliance. There were no convenient targets to externalize her grief and anger on in this case, and she couldn't cope with what happened.

Since this is the story of Commander Shepard, then-Lieutenant Shepard was not only not kicked out, she was recommended for N-school. Accepting the invitation took some convincing on Anderson's part.

So while she was able to get her shit together and go on to become the first human Spectre, the Hero of the Citadel, etc., she never really emotionally recovered. The whole Akuze incident cemented the idea in her mind that she couldn't have nice things because they would only get taken away. She lost her family. She lost her squad including someone she cared deeply about. The only constants in her life were her grandparents, and she had a hard time even letting them in. Her POV chapters in Periapsis are centered around her inability to let her walls down and let Kaidan in. She doesn't admit, even to herself, that she loves him until she has him at gunpoint during the Citadel coup, and she very nearly has to kill him. She doesn't say it out loud to him until much later.

If we're talking hypotheticals here, if Marian had somehow survived, Akuze would have still been traumatic, but it wouldn't have affected her nearly as deeply. And who knows? The two of them might have gotten their shit together and lived happily ever after.

Let's Rewind! Toast Watches Voltron: Defender of The Universe (1984)

Season 1, Episode 37: Lotor's New Hitman Season 1, Episode 38: Raid of the Red Berets

Episode 37: Lotor's New Hitman

Doom pilot training session? These aren't the ships I'm used to seeing with Doom

"[They're] not as good as I was when I was training at the academy!" "Uh yes sire" Oh Lotor absolutely failed every class and just threatened his teachers with death if they didn't pass him, no wonder he can't do shit

Are they actually told to kill each other in these sessions? One of the students is taking down everyone else, I feel like you wouldn't want to kill the rest of the squad that could measure up to him but okay

Uhh maybe the instructor is right in not letting some dude who listens to no authority try to take over a planet for you, this is gonna go real bad for doom really quick

"it must be the fastest robeast ever built and it must be red! I only fly red ships" he's gonna steal red lion isn't he

"my magic can easily turn the color to red, but I don't do windows" LMAO well at least haggar has boundaries I guess

Is this robeast not actually a robeast, looks like this dude is just piloting a mech with very little black magic involved

damn barely hits the ground and immediately starts causing devastation, when was the last time we got a robeast that actually committed war crimes for the Drule empire?

Wow no fanfare or anything this time around, just straight to the lions this time, top tier episode already

oh man some kid was actually under some debris, this is getting pretty serious for dotu

is yellow lion supposed to be the fastest lion? Hunk is chasing the mech after saying he was faster I'm so used to the fastest lion being red, I wonder what else fans changed to fit with their beliefs

plot bunny, how the fuck did pidge and lance make it to the other side of the tunnel when hunk is already pushing max in the middle of it yea I think the change people made with red and green being the faster lions makes the most sense here

early voltron formation, its only mid-episode too

I wonder how fast voltron can go, Keith said they were hitting mach 9 as voltron but do we ever hear how fast the lions push it? Would voltron even be faster ?

Aaand now green lion has a wound on the shoulder

Keith: Pidge talk to me! Are you hurt? Pidge: I'd be hurt if you didn't ask I love them so much

the team really is falling for this guy's traps every time huh, faltering on their training I see

is lion head attack their fastest attack or were they just banking on him not being able to dodge all of them

oh god Lotor you literally had such a good change to get rid of voltron and you RETREATED? You deserve to get your ass kicked every time

back to Arus and back to hazing the castle to make fun of the slow ass pilots

second voltron formation of the dayyy honestly I'm used to the VF episode that is so similar to this, but they used a cadet to solve their issue so how the hell are they gonna beat this guy without one

Oh I guess mach 10 is the fastest they can go as voltron

Chozzerai bridge? No that's over like an ocean or fat ass lake or something

good plan maybe? I think it is at least, setting out hovering mines that their mech can definitely outmaneuver but voltron probably can't and then slowly setting them off as they get close to him

earth wind and water, sounds like a pretty cool band name lol

ANOTHER VOLTRON FORMATION? WOW WEP WAS SAVING MONEY THIS EPISODE

oh so their plan is the same but with mach 10 speed, alright I guess? If that's all you got then whatever

omg they actually got him before blazing sword and everything

"maybe he'll land safely and come back again! There you see! He's going to land on planet gloom! That's one of ours! ... oh I'm afraid he didn't make a very good landing..." LMAOO WHY IS THAT WHOLE DIALOGUE SO FUNNY

/episode end

Episode 38: Raid of the Red Berets

Gonna be honest this sounds like an episode aimed at making fun of the French specifically LMAO

"can you and Haggar think of nothing to defeat that one little planet out in space?" Zarkon you literally fought that planet for a WHILE before Lotor came along, I don't think you can speak for shit

Disappointed father™️

well if their other fucked up science experiments are quaking in their boots even before these robeasts (not really) were introduced then I guess they're formidable

oh they're NOT robeasts, they're just regular robots that are getting transported to Arus BY the robeast okay okay

does the castle not have planetary alert systems or something?? Like they've gotta have satellites that alert when something is entering Arusian atmosphere

holy shit are these robots committing war crimes?? They're literally breaking into homes and killing civilians like that's not unheard of, but that's wild that they'd show that in dotu even if they play it off as the lights getting turned off

why do the pilots wave in their lions when the people below them can't even see LMAO

"It's a nice and safe feelings seeing those lions on patrol" robots immediately jump out of the ground and attack a caravan of people absolutely jinxed it sinvos

"something terrible must've scared them away!" omg they were actually slaughtered in that caravan and that's why they're not showing it

scare tactics,, is that what they're censoring the murder spree of civilians to in this episode? Wild

oh so being attacked on the regular with literal monstrosities isn't enough to make the Arusians want to crucify Allura but apparently the "scare tactics" that doom is doing to them is enough to freak them out and try to kill one of their only hopes of survival? Cool cool cool

Coran what, you said you didn't get any descriptions of the attackers, but now you know they're robots and have red berets? Plot bunny

if crowds were that easy to disperse, things would be changed so quickly my god

not a bad idea encasing at least one lion in something super solid, obvs Keith is getting out of this, but it would be smart to do that mid-fight also ironic because black camouflages as a statue instead of having a den

what kind of design is THAT for a robeast it looks like a dragon but bug like? Idk but still cool

why send all the lions to blast Keith with fire when only lance can actually do that?? Gotta make them useful I guess but distracting the robeast IS useful

Keith's free after being thrown straight into the robeast and now voltron can form pretty effective way to get rid of the rock enclosure I guess

this robeast encloses itself in bullet bill cosplay LMAO

man we're seeing a lot of lion head attack recently, wonder why

blazing sword formed, robeast down, Lotor getting belittled, everything is right in the universe

OH THE ROBOTS DID A SUICIDE BARRAGE AGAINST BLACK TO STICK HIM IN STONE NO WONDER THEY'RE GONE THE REST OF THE EPISODE

"men fight hardest when they're defending freedom" interesting, any other word and that would've been super political y'know ignoring that they're fighting an oppressive government lol

/episode end

[manofmanymons]

how do you think the urvive kids would have dealt with the main enemies of, i dunno, adventure (1999)

I think it would be really funny if they just hit Myotismon and Machinedramon with an uno reverse card. Just like "well my partner is the same Digimon but better, soo..."

Before I keep talking I wanna clarify that rather than looking at this as "Adventure enemies but in Survive" I'm thinking more like "Survive kids but in Adventure"

I think the Devimon arc would be interesting bc the Survive kids are older and more cautious so I feel like tricks like the mansion illusion wouldn't work as well on them? But also as a "first boss" I think they might also be less united than the Adventure crew. I feel like they'd either roll a nat 20 in persuasion and win Ogremon to their side way earlier on or like straight up kill him instead of just temporarily defeating him tho so in that sense the Devimom fight would be easier for them. I like to think the former would happen tho and then it would just be a matter of like kicking that demons ass as a crew instead of winning by any sort of last minute evolution.

I'm having such a hard time imagining the Etemon arc with these kids. I feel like even though they're not stupid and obviously they would understand the danger, as more modern age kids I can't imagine they wouldn't find Etemon at least a little bit silly. Like Minoru would so laugh his ass off they first they meet the funky singer chimp.

Assuming they would also be undergoing a "find the crests" arc I feel like they would argue significantly more than the adventure crew. Stay on file island vs go to server, focus on crests vs focus on kicking Etemon's ass. Ironically I think having our MC with an Agumon throwdown with monkey man and end up in the real world would just happen exactly like in Adventure?

But then after that like...without the fog forcing them to stay together and w all their arguments leading up to this point I think they'd kinda fall apart. Similar to Adventure again but this time they're not just splitting up to find a friend they just kinda can't stand each other rn so the "bring everyone back together arc" def has to happen before they can face off w myotismon.

Although the stakes for them would be way different than in adventure bc there's no 8th kid they're looking for or anything so I think it would be more fun if they all just like

Well a) underwent a crest activation arc but ALSO just had a friendship arc. Yknow like gained some perspective in their time apart and then really bonded when they got back.

While I still stand by that uno reversing myotismon by killing him with a different myotismon would be hilarious, I GUESS they could just use the power of friendship or whatever instead :/

Except actually fuck it if Adenture could have random kids getting a "bippity boppity deus ex machina, bitch" moment and soloing the main boss then so can the Survive kids so actually yeah they should be allowed to kill the vampire with a better vampire.

Speaking of the anime power of friendship I really want them to just kick puppetmon's ass with a genuine coordinated group attack. Like idk considering the whole thing with that guy was "oh he's weak bc he has no friends" it's a little weird that in adventure he was ultimately killed by one (1) angsty boy who was NOT being a team player at the time. It would be fun if the payoff for everyone becoming besties was just flawless teamwork yknow. I also think that being able to strategize like that would be a neat way to set the Survive cast apart from the Adventure cast.

I STILL want to uno reverse machinedramon so badly.

I genuinely can't even remember what actually happened with metalseadramon. I think he dies first out of the dark masters, yeah? Like he kills whamon and then Tai wrecks his shit? Honestly I think ANY Survive kid could solo that guy. I don't even care which one. Whoever is the most violent in that moment. Maybe Aoi bc he just murdered a friend in front of them. Or Miu bc mega level marine digimon vs mega level marine digimon.

Piedmon uuuuh. Well he's different from Survive Piedmon so instead of getting soloed by Takuma maybe he can be our fancy dancy Omegamon moment.

Apocalymon idk would just be the equivalent of the master tbh. Maybe they could even have a heart to heart to with him yknow like instead of totally blowing him up they could like kick his ass a little and then be like "but what if you weren't evil" and he could be like "oh shit you're right" and they all live happily ever after ksjsnd

[alo-piss-trancy]

Okay so my playthrough clocked in at a little over 93 hours. Though probably a couple hours longer than that bc it took me 4 times to beat the Final Fight and there was also a couple of other optional boss encounters that kicked my ass lmao

BIG DA:O SPOILERS BELOW!!!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So fun fact: I fucked my playthrough up at like the 87 hour mark 😭💔 I tried to be a decent person and not kill Loghain and let him go through with the Joining. Did not expect that Allistaire would throw a WHOLE-ASS TANTRUM and ditch us for good right before the final fight 🤬

Like bro I GET why you were hurt and angry but also??? This is literally a war to save a zillion lives we needed all the help we could get. Loghain was gonna die anyway. You bitched at me EVERY OTHER TIME I killed somebody (ok Connor was an accident. But he bitched me out over Brother Genetivi when he was gonna reveal the ashes and everything?!?). Bro goes on and on about honor and helping ppl and the Grey Wardens and then he literally just DIPS before the biggest fight ever. I thought he was gonna come back at the end and help when he came to his senses but NAH. WE'RE STRAIGHT UP DIVORCED FOREVER HE DIDN'T COME BACK OR COME TO MY CEREMONY AFTER. I NEVER SAW HIM AGAIN 😭💔💔💔💔 GLAD U LET UR HALF-SISTER DIE BITCH IM P SURE GOLDANNA'S HOUSE WAS RUBBLE IN BURNED-DOWN DENERIM. FUCK OFF YOU WHINY SELFISH PRICK I LOST SO MUCH RESPECT FOR YOU

Also Morrigan left that night too bc I wouldn't go with her fucked up demon baby plan lmao. Which I don't fault her for to be fair, I get she couldn't bear to see her only friend EVER die ☠️ I'm actually hype af for my future morally-awful playthru bc I will DEFINITELY be seeing that plan then lmao.

But yeah. MY CHARACTER GOT TO FINISH THE GAME AND GO THRU THE BIG FINALE FIGHT WITHOUT THE TWO BIGGEST SUPPORTERS THAT GOT HER THERE AND STARTED THE JOURNEY 😭😭😭 SHIT H U R T S

If I didn't have Leiliana and Meatball as my ride-or-dies my protag woulda been completely devastated for real like COME ON 😭💔 THANK GOD FOR HER BESTIE AND HER DOG THE REAL MVPS 😔🙏

Actually I was a little let down by the final fight. Like it was a cool concept and I enjoyed getting to play with the ballistas bc u keep seeing them in other parts of the game. But I basically had to play as Leiliana the whole time ajdkdjj. I built my character as a badass warrior with BUSTED strength and it was lowkey useless bc the final boss is out of range for 90% of the fight and I sold my crossbow to Sandal for more healing potions. Broooo 😭☠️💔

So yeah uh. SUPER awesome game I loved 90% of it (the combat on ps3 actually kills my hands bc of the constant L2 holding or tapping for radial menu and giving orders. SO PAINFUL please tell me they change this in the sequels it fucking HURTS). Fyi it actually was an interesting ending, I don't fault it and actually thematically it was cool to team up with Loghain for the last few hours, I'm just emotionally butthurt my whole imagined future with Allistaire went down the drain 😭💔 I love how many choices you get in this game tho and how they aren't always predictable. It's nice to not be able to 'game the system' for a 'perfect' ending as much as say, P5 or similar rpg/jrpgs lol. I like that you can fuck up REAL BAD with your companions lmao.

I have the other 2 games on ps3 waiting, fighting the urge to dive into 2 asap bc I want to digest Origins first but mmmm. I see why ppl went crazy for these. If I'd had these a decade ago I woulda replayed SO MANY times for real, this is what I wanted out of Skyrim story/companion-wise 🙏

[weebsinstash]

Possible yandere Kakashi head cannons? 👀

Oh gosh I'll have to revisit this post if I ever start rewatching Naruto, but I can take a swing from what I remember! I might be totally wrong on some parts though...

-ok so let's get heavy right off the bat. His father literally killed himself and Kakashi was the one to find him like that. Naturally he's going to be extremely proactive if he finds out you're doing any self-harming behaviors or have any suicidal ideation. Since he has his own hands full with his job as a Jonin and squad leader, he probably wouldn't be above having you admitted to a hospital so you'll at least be safe in one place while he's coming and going from the village. He'll get you out eventually when he can either trust you with yourself, or safely leave you elsewhere (perhaps with a clone of his. If you can't overpower the clone, it's technically kind of permanant, right?)

-he'll probably tell you some actual threats or actual things he's done under the guise of joking around. You know, how he can say really fucked up or serious stuff with a smile? Or how he says ridiculous shit so deadpan?

"Hey Hatake, haven't seen you around in a while! What have you been up to?"

"Oh, I've been around. You just haven't been able to see me :)"

-do you. Do you think he would write erotic fanfiction of him and his darling. Actually yes I think I like this idea. Icha Icha Paradise or whatever the fuck it was called would always make him red in the face and shit, he was INTO it. I can imagine him becoming flustered as he hunches over his desk in the odd hours of the night writing FILTH

-probably writes some like vanilla shit like you being his secretary and him the boss that you know, pays you down by laying you down. Nothing hard-core but he turns into a tomato over it and if you ever found and read the stories, he would absolutely die

-his ninja puppies though! He's already got an unbeatable tracking team if he ever needs to find you by scent or anything. I also imagine they'd just have a very odd but cute sense of loyalty to you as the person Kakashi is attached to, though obviously if he were to, say, need to turn them against you, they obey their master first and foremost. Imagine waking up in an entire bed of ninja dogs though 🥺🥰 actually he may even "leave them at home" with you to babysit?

-i don't actually see Kakashi being above physical punishment. I don't see him breaking your bones or anything unless you made him but I imagine if the situation called for it he would, like, slug ya til ya dropped or anything, at least given that you're another trained ninja putting up resistance or anything like that. If he has to deal with your punches and kicks until you tire out, so be it

-i mean, there's probably jutsu for everything, and if it doesn't exist already, you can create it, given the time and knowledge. Do with that what you will. The possibilities are endless and in the wrong hands that is absolutely terrifying

-actually coming back to this, his talent in lightning jutsu makes me think he could probably make something on a smaller scale that could be used for paralysis 😳 subdue and contain, right?

-god we're actually gonna have a cameo here: you know who would be the first to fucking, bail Kakashi out or help him if you tried to start some shit. MIGHT GUY. If you ever gave Kakashi the slip, just hope you don't bump into this jumpsuited-up freak. He's stupid but he's not stupid, you know? If you're on your way to try to escape, well, he just knows his ol buddy will be so down about it! What about their flaming rivalry if the silver Jonin is all depressed over you? Now Guy is the one who's going to "accidentally" break your fucking leg, and with such gusto. Don't worry, it'll heal! Pain is what makes a ninja grow! Kakashi is great at wound care, he would know!

-i think I would genuinely be ready to fight if I was minding my own business and a trio of 12 year olds came up to me like "are you dating our sensei?" and asking a bunch of personal questions. We all remember the mask episode. Those kids are curious as fuck and they have little boundaries when they're focused on a goal. They start asking you about "how did you like visiting *a place you went on a mission to recently*" without you even bringing it up and Kakashi just waves from a nearby tree or some shit and he obviously talks about you to these kids all the time 💀💀💀

-he'll take off his mask and show you his face completely unprompted. You're in a room together filing some papers away or filing completion forms out for missions as you chat back and forth and suddenly, there's his face???? The face basically no one knows what it looks like, not even his own students??? And the second someone comes in, you blink and his mask is back on again. He clearly prefers to keep it on, so what is it about you that's so different?

-would honestly try to dissuade you from being a shinobi if you are one or are trying to become one. There's just so much death and war and espionage and even child soldiers. He doesn't want that life for you 🥺 I can imagine he would. How would I put this. Have an Aizawa moment? Say some shit like "since you can't be a ninja anymore, the only next logical conclusion would be to settle down with me.". Says it very matter-of-factly like explaining a math problem. You + him = a very skilled Jonin with PTSD and abandonment issues who decides if keeping you like a bird in a cage will keep you safe and sound that he is perfectly just in doing so

Being An Ex-Hydra Experiment And Falling For Kate Would Include Pt. 1: (Pt. 2) (Pt. 3)

A/N: I love this imagine and couldn't stop thinking about it as I watched Hawkeye :) This part is mostly background to get to the part with Kate, but I still love it!!! I hope you like it too!!!! 💕

The Avengers found you when you were a child

No one knew about you

You were, like many others, Hydras best kept secret

They toyed with the idea of starting young with their assassins, much like the Red Room, but they weren't as organized as Dreykov. They didn't have all the means and resources for taking children, so you were a happy accident. Born from agents themselves so dedicated to the cause, they handed you over. Afterwards, they were will killed. No one ever told you, and you wouldn't find out until many years later.

You were important to them, but nothing special

It seemed, the older you got, the less you seemed to amaze them

When they ran, they left you behind, locked in one of the same cages the Maximoff twins were kept in

Unlike them, you weren't holding this immense, uncontrollable power

You were far from it

You had your own reasons for being a weapon, a killing machine, but nothing that showed you their worst fears, nothing that could help you run to the ends of the earth

You worked with what you had, though

You watched them flee, heard the alarms, saw the flashing lights, but nothing could make you flinch. Not anymore. They ordered you to stay, so that's what you did. Sitting on your bed, kicking your feet, too short to reach the floor. You waited for your next instruction. More orders.

Clint waste first to notice you

He had his arrow ready, but when he realized you were a little kid, he dropped it immediately

He thought he'd seen everything. There you were though, too small for your age, rigid in the way you sat, hands clasped together, staring at him wide eyed, but not afraid. Never afraid

He spoke into the speaker of his ear, quiet, calm, trying to find the right words to describe exactly what he's found.

How could he describe it? You? You were just a little older than his kids, and yet so much smaller, so much scarier. The way you watched him, it wasn't that of a child. It far too old for your age. Piercing. All-knowing. There wasn't an ounce of innocence or curiosity in you.

He tried to remain calm though, for you, finding a way to open the cell doors. He stood in the doorway, leaning down, introducing himself, asking you your name. No response. He asked what you were doing here, if you were hurt, but again, no response.

You just watched him

Natasha and Steve were the first to respond, heading towards him, but it was too late. You'd already sized him up. Realized he was just the kind of person Hydra had taught you about: fooled by you, your look.

Clint can laugh about it today, he does every time you remind him of it. To put it lightly, you beat the shit out of him. Took him while he was caught off guard. He wasn't going to fight back, not with some little kid, so he took it. When the others got to him, he was bleeding and sore, but not dead. Something about him, something prevented you from doing so. You could do it in your sleep. It was second nature. But this man, with his silly bow and arrow, with his cautious tone, with the urgency in his actions to help you, you couldn't kill him.

You ran off somewhere, heading towards Tony. The only way he was able to catch you was with his suit. You were powerful, he'd give you that, but you had no weapons, no skin to break, no veins or arteries to puncture. You weren't even sure what he was, robot or human, or both. He wasn't sure what mess they'd just gotten themselves into, but as far as he was concerned, he wanted no part of it.

Packed into the Quinjet, the team had to do a bit of readjusting. You were handcuffed, the kind they used on real criminals, real threats, but they adjusted. Clint sat next to you. Natasha warned him not to, fearing he couldn't take another punch, but he insisted that he was alright. That you were alright, too. Everyone else kept their guards up, keeping some distance, arguing about what to do in whispers like you couldn't hear

You weren't much of a talker, he got that even before you beat him up, so he talked to you instead. Said his name was Clint. Said when you got back, he'd get someone to look at the cut on your head. You hadn't even realized you were bleeding. Told you all about the tall buildings you'd see, and the busy streets. He tried a couple languages, just to see your reaction, but there was no change. It didn't matter. You understood them all, and more. You were instructed not to speak. Seen, but not heard.

Clint says, from that day on, you were his

You had other plans, of course

He became your buddy. The only one who'd come near you. Dr. Cho took care of him, had you wait for your turn. You watched, unsure why he was doing this, putting on a happy face like you'd never seen someone in pain before. Like you hadn't caused that pain yourself

When she stitched you up, you didn't even flinch

Still handcuffed. Tony refused to let you be on your own. If you could do that to Barton without any weapons, what damage could you do in the Avengers Tower?

They didn't know who, or what, you were. We're you an informant? A trick? What were you even doing there? They tried to find anything they could: video footage, files, missing kid reports. Nothing. You were just there. They didn't know, when they ran, those that got away, had all that information. They knew exactly what they were doing by leaving you.

Even Fury didn't know what to do. He opted to lock you up, see what his agents could get out of you, but Clint and Natasha refused

When she looked at you, she saw herself, her childhood. She wasn't going to let anyone else hurt you. Clint wouldn't either.

So, they were on babysitting duty until someone could figure out what to do with you

They stayed up all night with you. Talking, sharing stories, laughing at their own jokes. You had no interest in food or TV. You wanted to go back. You wanted them to find you, to apologize for forgetting about you, but you knew that wasn't going to happen. They weren't your family. They didn't love you. You were an object. A play-thing. Something to pass the time. As young as you were, you already understood this.

It was too late

If you couldn't go back, you'd have to find a way out

They caught you more than a dozen times trying to escape. Weeks you'd spent at that place. Each time they caught you, they weren't angry or upset. They knew what you were doing and why, but they couldn't let you go. You were a kid and they cared a lot about you. They insisted one of the teams many therapists talk to you, even if you wouldn't talk back. They sat with you for hours, trying to crack through your shell.

You really came alive in the training rooms. They both knew you needed to blow off some steam. Under their supervision, and with the most safe equipment they could find, you showed off everything you'd ever learned. Everything you brainwashed to do.

It was horrifying and amazing at the same time

Because you wouldn't tell them your name, everyone called you Hawkeye Jr. To make fun of the beating you gave Clint and because you were basically his shadow. Wherever he went, you went. No exceptions.

One day, after months of watching and trying to get through to you, you leaned over towards Clint and asked "Ты знаешь, что это?""Do you know what this is?" Referring to one of his few "special" arrows. This one blew things up. He'd been working on them for ages, you always beside him

"Do I- yeah I know what it is. Do you?"

You only nodded in response, but it was enough to make him grin ear to ear. He didn't want to startle you by making a big deal about it in front of you, so he waited until you went to bed to tell Nat and the rest of the team

You knew it because you'd seen it before. The kind of technology that could level an entire city. Hydra had enough of that to go around

The others still weren't sure about you, but they warmed up to you eventually. When you were allowed to roam a little, you joined Bruce in his lab, quietly watching. You listened to Steve's stories from the 30s. You kept Tony company in the kitchen for midnight snacks. Thor even trains with you, finding you quite funny to watch. "The dummy is bigger than you!" You don't find it as funny. . . .

You began to speak more, only to Clint or Natasha, and solely in Russian

They're the only ones who understand

Little by little, you relaxed. You opened up, enough for them to put some sort of picture together

"Y/n." You admitted one day, when Natasha called you Hawkeye Jr. together your attention. When she asked if you wanted to be called that, you shrugged. Hawkeye Jr. was nice enough. It made Clint happy.

"Это был мой дом." "That was my home." You say, catching them watching security footage again. The Hydra base, that was home.

"Ты странный человек." "You are a strange person." You whisper one night, after they've come back from a mission. You wanted to go too, but they wouldn't let you. A SHIELD agent watched you. He was tucking you in, something no one had ever done before. It was nice. It was weird

"Маленький человек мне не доверяет." "The little man does not trust me." Clint tried to explain that Tony does trust you, just in his own way. He can't help but smile when you call him The Little Man

Clint already knew, one way or another, he was taking you home

Laura wasn't so sure at first. Their kids were younger than you. What if you hurt them? What if Hydra found their safe house? So many things could have gone wrong, put them on someone's radar. Clint assured her you were getting better, you were getting used to things. They couldn't keep you locked up here forever, like you'd been before. You deserved to be a normal kid. At least, as normal as you could get.

When you began making progress, she gave it another thought

They agreed, for the time being, Clint would be home in case anything went wrong. And if something did, they'd find somewhere permanent to bring you that wasn't their home

"You'll get your own room. . . . we can paint it whatever color you want. . . "

None of the Avengers knew about his family, his wife, and he intended to keep it that way. Clint assured them, where you were going, you'd be okay. They had no choice but to believe him.

Clint understood that having your own room wouldn't heal the scars that bruised your body. It wouldn't take away your nightmares or make you forget the past. It wouldn't stop you from flinching at every quick move or loud voice. But at least here, you'd get the chance to grow up with parents, with siblings, with love. He'd help you every step of the way.

You walked into that house behind him, clutching the hem of his jacket, but that scared little kid never came out

From that day on, you were a Barton. You always would be. . . . .

Scarlet's Fury

An OC x Modern Warfare story!

Summary: Being a TF141 member, it's surely a fact Scarlet's more than a normal soldier, but, what if she shows what she can truly do?

Warnings: Guns, grenades, and violence! Proceed with caution.

✿

Soap: Enemies coming from the north!

Roach: There's too many of them! We need to evacuate or call in the airstrike!

Ghost: Hunter Two, this is Ghost, we request immediate air support, there's a load of enemies coming through our way, our ammo cannot supress them quick!

Hunter Two: Roger that, but we are currently taking rounds for more sufficient ammo, we request you to try suppressing them further with what you got, ETA is ten minutes.

Ghost: Bloody hell.. we gotta live through this for exact ten?

Soap: Ghost, cut the chatter! Stay frosty. Scarlet, try oppressing their fire from the other side! Be careful to dodge their attacks!

Scarlet, firing all her bullets towards the enemies, hearing Soap through the comms: Roger!

Ghost: Wait, you're making her move from her defensive spot where she's supposed to stay?

Soap: It's no use, Ghost! We need to find another way around to kill these enemies until the airstrike comes! I know her, she can do it!

Ghost: But, sir, she's—

Soap: Ghost, pay attention!

Scarlet, carefully takes cover behind the trees, as she moves slowly one by one from her hiding spot: This shouldn't be a bad idea.. this shouldn't..

She proceeds to find another suitable spot where she could look at the enemy's nest and stopping the TF141 from advancing, as she rolls a frag grenade silently beneath their surface carefully and before they could find the grenade on the ground, it exploded, eliminating one part of the enemy forces.

Soap: Good job, Scarlet. Move, move!

Scarlet: I'll keep you covered from here, you keep moving forward— *the connection goes awry*

Soap: Scarlet.. do you copy? Scarlet!

Ghost: Bloody yanks.. maybe she lost the connection.

Soap: She wouldn't have gone too far, we have to find her before the airstrike arrives, move!

Scarlet: Does anyone copy? Captain! Ghost, Roach.. anyone— o-oh no..

She sees that a few enemies located her hiding spot and arm themselves to attack her.

Scarlet, smiles nervously: .. hey?

Enemy: How would a little, naive girl like you be here in the most dangerous parts of the world? Does she even look stronger? Heh, believe she can't even break a twig with her hands.

Scarlet: Look, you're underestimating me. I can kill you if I get the chance!

Enemies, begin to laugh hysterically: Let's see how you even try to defeat us. *The enemy attacks her but she quickly dodges, thanks to her quick reflexes*

Enemy: Huh?

Scarlet, smirks: Missed, eh? Try again *wink wink*

Enemy, tries to attack her from all sides but dodges like a piece of cake, she she jumps over him to kick him in the face:

Scarlet: HIIIIIIYAAAAAHHHH! Woooooohooooo! Who's next?

The next enemy comes and she also beats the shit out of him, and more and more were coming and she was easily able to dodge their attacks. She was all normal doing so, after all, she's an SAS.

Scarlet: Ahaha! Anyone else? Or you gave up? Thinking that I was a nai— *someone blew a strong punch towards her that she dragged on the ground from a little far distance. She could barely move herself because the enemy was now more furious.*

Enemy: YOU WON'T WIN, YOU BITCH. COME AT ME AND FIGHT.

The team almost arrives wherever Scarlet could be, and see her injured heavily. Soap and the rest get worried but decided to go forward only if Scarlet gives a response.

Enemy: Get up, or have you forgotten?

Scarlet, with her head shook, she quietly gets up but doesn't move or respond:

Enemy, thinking it is his chance, he runs towards her almost giving a punch, only for him to get slashed in the chest by Scarlet's pocket knife in an instant:

Everyone, seeing in a constant shock:

Scarlet, her head still shook, with no expression but the knife she held tight showed how determined she was to kill them all:

More enemies come towards her and she runs near to also slash, and stab them quickly, kicking and punching them, avoiding their attacks. What really surprised Soap and the rest is that they never saw such version of Scarlet before.

The cute, cheery and happier Seargant from the outside.. was also violent and stronger in the inside?

Scarlet lifts her head slightly, with her eyes growing in determination. She was focused on the swarm of enemies arriving around her, with just having the knife. But, she dropped it, much to their confusion. She smirks and then draws out her rifle, shooting them all in a circle. She even dodged a bullet that almost shot her, and in return she shot him back. There, her ammunition finishes and feels the other enemy drawing close to her. She quickly grabbed the knife on the ground and threw it over him, stabbing his head as he gurgled in pain and died. Soap was more surprised that how did Scarlet even get this side of herself? The way he used to know about her being calm and quiet, there she killed many, many enemies by just her pocket knife and left ammunition.

Scarlet was breathing and panting silently, with her head shook. She lifted her head, and opened her eyes, seeing everything around her dead. She gasped and saw the three next to her in the distance. She quickly runs towards them and wiped off the blood on her face.. but from there, they saw another swarm of enemies coming towards them, but before anything can happen, the airstrike occurred and killed everyone, as the TF141 covered themselves in security.

When Soap again saw Scarlet's expressions, they showed a little fear, compared to that version where she was entirely fearless and killed every single enemy in her area. He never even saw such a version of Scarlet like this before.

But, little to know, she was more than just a soldier.

The end? O_o

Sannin headcanons and thoughts

The last thing I would like to post for the sannin week. It is still 24.04 here! :D @sannin-central

This is long. Spoiler alert. Mostly Orochimaru, some Tsunade, a little of Jiraiya (because his story is pretty clear and spoken and idk what I can add). Also I recommend to read this meta about Orochimaru, it has influenced me a lot and has some good points. Sorry for any posible grammar mistakes. Also I really should put here a lot of references to the manga or anime but it was something that was piling up for a year and I'm soooooooo lazy. After all, those are just headcanons. Also: Im not excusing Oro's bad stuff here, Im trying to understand the reasons.

Ive already posted some hcs, here, here and here.

1. First if all, the chronology pic of sannin lifetime based on the info i found on naruto wiki and also some statements about wars from this post. It was tough considering what a mess naruto’s chronology is.

2. Sannin story shows what it cost to be a legend. They're like Team 7 but more realistic. Tsunade literally carried the war but left with nothing and developed a ptsd and have problems to just live on. Also anger control issues. I think she can be pretty bossy and stubborn which is not always nice. Jiraiya is the hero of the day but also very idealistic and can ignore some important details in the real word whether its the fight (he always injured during flashbacks maybe because each time he took too much to handle and on the one hand it's heroistic but on the other is a mistake that can lead your team to situations like in that Iwa cave) or your friends issues (I bet he saw what's going on but thought it's fine until Oro actually got red handed and left). He lives in his world and may have problems to get out to see it through someone else's shoes. As for Orochimaru, it seems like he was a normal guy for 20+ years (I mean, he didn't do crazy criminal shit and had something good in him and it was stated somewhere that it was his teammates influence. It is obvious they considered him as a friend, I don't thinks it was for nothing) but we mostly know his darkest side. Despite being a moster he is a human that have empathy and some ordinary human traits (man just decorates every bit of an environment he is in lol).

3. Tsunade was the leader of team Hiruzen.

4. Tsunade sometimes hit Jiraiya for some stupid things he did or said but never touches Orochimaru even if he did something same. Jiraiya complained about it once and almost got another hit.

5. Jiraiya had problematic parents that didn't care about him much and a lot of time he was wandering in the streets.

6. Judging by the look of Oro bangs and hair, he sometimes cut it off. A stress relief huh? And the fact that he doesn't do it now in Boruto..

7. It was shown that Tsunade and Orochimaru was acknowledged before they become a team. Maybe they did just before, or maybe some longer time before. I prefer the second option and hc that they met because both had no real friends - Orochimaru seemed weird and scary for everyone and Tsunade was Senju so everyone wanted to hang out with her but didn't really care. They weren't seen as what they were - people put the labels on them. But they didn't care about each other's labels and actually saw each other in true lights.

8. Tsunade knew it was an accident and it's not right but still she blamed Orochimaru for Nawaki's death for some time. It was something that seriously damaged their friendship and the team. Orochimaru was mad but also guilty, after all, he was responsible at least as a shinobi since Nawaki was under his watch. So he started to act cold and emotionless and was trying to distance himself from his teammates.

9. Jiraiya was in Ame while Dan died.

10. The whole his orphans mission was a bit irresponsible tbh. They already fought Hanzo and as he stated the conflict between Konoha and Ame is going to an end with Konoha's win. It's weird to stay here for three years in the middle of the war while there were other lands to fight. He left his teammates for some idea. Maybe that caused another crack in their team friendship.

11. If Tsunade would have find a way to live on with her trauma and follow the will of fire and stuff it would affect Orochimaru as well just as her grief affected him. It's like he would get an example that you can live on with this pain. So death isn't above human capability and we are not just the slaves of mortality (sounds stupid but i dont know how else to describe sorry). But as we know what he actually saw is that it broke her crucially to the point she couldnt be herself again. And so the death is above everything.

12. Oro wasn’t just acting as a cold pragmatic bitch in that cave but also tried to save Tsunade. Jiraiya knew it and that’s why he showed this sign to him like "I see what youre doing here" and that stunned Oro because he would prefer to look rather like a cold pragmatic bitch hehe

13. Just a thought. People in the village probably treated Oro as a foreigner or just wouldnt accept him because he looked so differently and had a weird attitude. That's why he sometimes didn't feel that Konoha is his home. After the wars where people were treated as means and tools, even the children, he himself developed this view on people - he dehumanized them and used as the means to his goals, just as his village did. Funny thing some people were straightly dehumanizing him too like Ibiki thought that he was a demon (tho he was a child). And he probably weren't the only one. Anyways the point is that it's logical that Orochimaru don't care about anybody but some few people, he's the product of his era. He's like Naruto that would chose the hatred way. But naruto had some good and understanding people around him and.. Orochimaru had them too, but match how Iruka treated Naruto and this Hiruzen's "I sAw tHe mAliCe in This cHiLd fRoM tHe BegGinNinG". And oro didn't even have a big ass evil fox in him. sry i hate hiruzen

ANYWAYS the moral of the story is not "go criminal if they hurt you" but always treat people like people. Waving my hand to Kant.

14. The reason why Orochimaru didn't pick some good morals to stick with through the hard times no matter what (like, idk, Jiraiya or Naruto) is because 1) I think he is/was pretty depending on people around him 2) the war fucked him and his friends up too much (Nawaki incident + Tsunade) 3) twisted addictions (though I don't think he's that sadistic, we never saw him torturing randoms just for fun, it was always some science experimental shit. He tends to get fun out of cruelty only when it's personal) that maybe developed as a way to sublimate anger and sadness caused by his parents loss (that's what they share with sasuke - unlicke naruto, they knew their parents and it's other kind of pain. Sasuke developed a revenge issue and Orochimaru - cruelty pleasure which... is kinda the same but less epic and more occasional lol).

15. Speaking of that, Orochimaru cared for Sasuke because he saw himself in him.

16. Oro hold grudges against Hiruzen for not choosing him to be Hokage not only because he was ambitious and/or egoistic, but also because Hiruzen was some kind of a father figure for him and his approval was important tho i doubt he was aware of that. He also probably could tell that Hiruzen was suspicios about him when he was a child and that led to many conflicts and was hurting as well.

17. Tsunade knew things weren't pretty with Orochimaru after the wars but she never expected them to be this bad. During the week that she was given in her arc she thought not only about how much she wants to see Nawaki and Dan again despite how wrong would it be but also was trying to bury all the good memories she had left of Orochimaru so it would be easier to kill him.

18. She poisoned Jiraiya exactly because she knew he would not let her do it. Jiraiya was always hesitant to kill and inclined to forgiveness, while Tsunade, as mentioned by Orochimaru, could be merciless (so much so that he was not surprised when Kabuto suggested that she wanted to use Jira for Edo Tensei).

19. That was one of her traits that scared Jiraiya and fascinated Orochimaru.

20. Remember how Oro grabbed Jiraiya's neck when the latter was trying to cover with hair jutsu? On the snake, in Tsnade's arc. Orochimaru could have easily kill Jiraiya by pulling the sword out of the mouth (arteries are right there) but he didn't. As well as he could kill Tsunade when she was still shaking - just aim for the neck or the heart. Instead, he just injured her lung and kicked her which is not a big deal for the kind of shinoby like her at all.. Also he helped Anko not accidentally kill herself but it would be way much profitable to let her do it. "Orochimaru has no feelings".

21. The reason he suddenly wanted to kill Tsunade instead of forcing her to heal his arms as it was planned (which is weird since it will not going to get him heals and he kinda said that he wouldn't want to kill her just minutes ago) is that not only she refused to help him (he thought he could work it out) but she also prefered the village over him (from his point of view). Out if everyone she was the closest to being able to understand him since the village caused her painful losses too but nevertheless she agreed to be on it's side.

22. He wasn't fighting her back in the end partly because he thought he deserved that. Somewhere deep inside hahah.

23. Tsunade got a fear to develop deep bonds so they probably weren't very close with Shizune (also the way she knocked her down in this hotel.. oh).

24. Orochimaru will be here when she'll die.

25. Orochimaru's eng dub to Tsunade: "I often wondered what it would be like to ring that pretty neck yours". No comments.

26. Orochimaru is either bi/pan or ace. Anything or nothing lmao

27. Hiruzen knew about at least some of the Oro’s illegal experiments and was okay just as he was okay with the Foundation all the time. Because it’s useful. Then he has discovered he went too far OR he knew everything and oro just became too inconvenient because of his methods. The way Orochimaru tells Sasuke about reasons they are well treated as the criminals is based on in his experience with Hiruzen.

28. As you may know the lyrics in Orochimaru’s music theme goes “don’t talk with the silence of the heart”. It was taken from one Indian song that also had lines like “don’t question life too much”, ”pain arose somewhere in the chest”, “don’t speak to the wounds of the heart”. Though I’m not sure 100% because I was translating it with some hindi dictionary with like zero knowledge of hindi

29. I like to think that this “silence of the heart” theme and the fact that he called his village a hidden sound village are somehow connected. The hidden sound is the possible explanation of all things waiting to be listened to but the truth is silent and you know it deep in your heart and it bothers you. The world is silent just like the life is meaningless but people can only hear. *Sigh* anyways

30. Orochimaru’s journey is the one about accepting death. When he saw Karin released her chains while was trying to get to Sasuke he understood that the death is a part of human’s strength.

Can’t wait to feel that everything I wrote is wrong or not enough or stupid and obvious lol. Anyways, it’s something that I wanted to share until I move to some other fandom.

A Change of Heart Part 2–Matt Brody

Part 1

Wattpad request by psych0bxtch

Matt's POV

When I heard the flatline, my stomach dropped. The only thing I could hear other than the worst sound in the world was Summer sobbing violently as Mitch tried to keep her from collapsing to the floor.

"No," she kept sobbing. "She can't be. . . Please tell me she isn't. . . Mitch. . . She's my baby sister. . . Please."

"Keep trying," I said under my breath when I finally found my voice. Everyone looked at me as I cleared my throat and took a step towards the ambulance.

"Keep trying," I said louder as they slowly started to unhook Y/N's lifeless body from their machines. "You can't give up on her. She's. . . We need her."

I ignored Summer's questioning look and instead, my eyes glanced towards Y/N. Suddenly, my view of Y/N in the back of an ambulance changed to the last time we were alone together in the South Lifeguard Tower. I couldn't decide if I was more haunted by her laying there unmoving or the look in her eyes when I rejected her.

"I need her," I mumbled. I glanced over at Summer to see her tears slowly stopping.

"Matt?" She said under her breath.

We broke our eye contact when we heard them charging the defibrillator. I held my breath as we all waited to hear the heart monitor start beeping. As we impatiently waited, Summer walked over to me, but I didn't look away from the EMTs working on Y/N.

"What did you mean when you said you need her?" She asked, her voice barely a whisper. "Be very careful with your next words, Matt."

"I can't imagine my life without her," I blurted out. I kept my eyes on Y/N and the EMTs as I continued, "I hate that us almost losing her is what made me realize it."

"No," Summer cut me off, making me finally look at her. "You aren't doing this. Y/N is an amazing girl and you broke her. You broke her, Matt. She finally got the courage to tell you how she felt and you shot her down. Are you telling me that all this time. . . Or are you just suddenly realizing it because we might. . . No. My sister deserves better. Y/N deserves a guy who knows he wants to be with her. Not some Olympic Asshole who picks and chooses when he gets a girl."

I opened my mouth to respond but was interrupted when we heard a beautiful beep. You could hear us all sucking in a synced breath when we recognized the sound. We turned around and saw the EMTs letting out relieved sighs.

"She's back," an EMT said as he glanced over at us. "We got her back."

"Alert the surgical team at the nearest hospital," the other EMT started giving instructions. "We need to get her into surgery as soon as we get there."

The EMTs started talking indistinctly as they hooked her up to more machines. I jumped when they slammed the door shut and the ambulance sped off. I turned to say something to Summer but she was already jogging towards her car. CJ and Stephanie sent me matching glares before following Summer. Ronnie cleared his throat, awkwardly avoiding eye contact with me.

"We're going to the hospital," Mitch said with not even an ounce of emotion in his voice. "Want a ride?"

We rode to the hospital in silence. I watched the buildings zoom by, the anger in Summer's voice repeating over and over again. The glare she gave me sent chills down my spine just thinking about it.

She was right. Y/N is too good for me.

As we sat in the waiting room, I thought back to our conversation in the South Lifeguard Tower. The longer I thought about it, the more I realized I never shot her down. I didn't say anything to her. She assumed I didn't have feelings for her because I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything because I was too shocked.

I looked up and noticed Summer watching me with tears streaming down her face. She had numerous reasons to be pissed at me but the real reason was because of the conversation in the South Lifeguard Tower. I stood up, nervously wiping my hands on my shorts as I walked over to her.

"Don't," she said, her voice getting caught in her throat. "I don't care how guilty you feel about shooting my sister down. I have more important things to think about. Like how Y/N is fighting for her life on a surgery table right now."

"Summer," I stuttered. "Please just. . ."

"Stop!" She yelled, quickly standing up. "My sister is dying, Matt. I don't give a shit that you feel guilty for turning her down. You have no idea how much you hurt her."

"I didn't. . ." I stuttered.

"Of course not," she scoffed. "She took two weeks off from work. Want to know what she did during that time? She spent the entire two weeks crying her eyes out. She was embarrassed, defeated, humiliated, and felt like she couldn't face you. Here's the real kicker; she came back for you!"

"What do you mean?" I asked under my breath.

"You were losing it, Matt," she sighed. "We could all see it."

I looked behind her to see everyone else watching us with the same look on their faces. When I made eye contact with Mitch, he shook his head and looked around the waiting room.

"Summer," I said, my voice breaking as I turned back towards her.

"Enough," she said through her teeth. "Y/N doesn't deserve you, Matt Brody. She deserves better."

* * * * *

An hour later, we still hadn't heard anything from the doctors working to save Y/N's life. We sat in the waiting room of the ER, all of us on edge. Whenever someone walked through a door, we all jumped.

"For Ms. Y/N Quinn?"

We all jumped up, slightly surprising the doctor when he saw how many of us were there. He looked around, trying to figure out which one of us he needed to address first.

"I'm her sister," Summer said shakily as she took a step towards him. "Is she. . . Did she. . . Please tell me she's okay."

"Your sister is one hell of a fighter," the doctor smiled sweetly at her.

"She's okay?" Summer said with nothing but hope in her voice.

"For the most part," he said slowly.

"What does that mean?" Ronnie asked.

"Well," the doctor said, slightly clearing his throat. "As you know, they were able to restart her heart in the back of the ambulance but her vitals were too low when she got to the hospital. As we took her into an exam room, she stopped breathing again. After a few tests, we discovered that it wasn't just the drowning that almost killed her."

"What was it?" Summer asked, slightly taking a step closer to the doctor.

"A bullet."

My breath got stuck in my throat. I looked over at Summer to see her covering her mouth, trying to stop the sob.

"When the hell was she shot?" CJ asked under her breath.

"Underwater," Mitch mumbled to himself. We turned around to see him thinking about something.

"Mitch?" Summer said under her breath.

"Before I jumped in after her, I thought I heard something strange. If I hadn't hesitated. . . I'm so sorry, Summer. I heard the gunshot and that's what made me jump in after her. I should've done that sooner. I'm so sorry."

"This isn't your fault," she said gently. My heart dropped into my stomach when Summer glanced over at me.

"How is she?" Mitch asked.

"We got the bullet out," the doctor continued, "and stopped the bleeding, but she still lost a lot of blood during the surgery. I'm afraid she's slipped into a coma."

"When is she going to wake up?" Summer asked almost instantly.

"We can't be entirely sure," he sighed. "She could be asleep for a few more hours or a few more days. When a patient loses a lot of blood, their mind tends to shut off until that blood is reproduced. But I can assure you that we are doing everything we can to make her feel comfortable until she does. I can take you to see her, Ms. Quinn."

When the rest of us took a few steps closer to Summer and the doctor, he stopped us. "I'm sorry," he said, clearing his throat, "but only family can go into the ICU."

Even though we didn't like it, we sat back down. I intertwined my fingers, struggling to calm my nerves. The next few days were never-ending. While the others went home, I stayed sitting in the uncomfortable ER waiting room chair.

"Matt."

I jumped when I felt someone kick my foot. I looked up to see Mitch standing above me with his arms folded. He sighed as he slightly shook his head.

"Go home."

"I'm good," I said, clearing my throat.

"No, you're not," he sighed. "You haven't slept, you've barely eaten, and you look like shit. Not to mention that you reek."

"I'm not leaving," I said sleepily.

"Matt," he sighed again as he sat next to me. "I know you feel guilty for what happened to Y/N, but the boat fire had nothing to do with you. If anyone is to blame, it's me. I was the one who didn't jump in after her soon enough. I keep hearing that damn underwater gunshot. It replays in my mind and my dreams. This was my responsibility. All of your safety falls on me. I failed Y/N. And Summer."

I suddenly realized how much this has been weighing down on him. His shoulders were tense, his back was hunched, and his eyes were heavy.

"Mitch," I said, making him look at me, "Y/N wouldn't blame you for anything that's happened. You jumped in, you found her, you brought her back to the boat. You saved her, Mitch. All I did was break her heart."

"About that," Mitch said, clearing his throat to cover his laugh. "What the hell, man? She told you how she felt, you shut her down, then she gets hurt and that makes you suddenly have feelings for her?"

"First of all," I sighed, "I didn't shoot her down. I didn't respond right away and she took that as me not having feelings for her. Second, I didn't say anything about "suddenly" having feelings for her."

"Hold on," he said, more anger in his voice. "After all the shit that's gone down, you actually have feelings for her?"

When he looked at me, he saw my answer clearly written on my face. He scoffed as he looked away, slightly shaking his head. When he looked back at me, I felt like a kid about to get scolded by my father.

"Please tell me you realize how much of an asshole you are," he scoffed.

"Mitch," I stuttered.

"Y/N is an amazing girl. You'd be lucky to have someone like her interested in you. Honestly, you don't deserve her anymore. Hell, you didn't deserve her when she told you how she felt. And if you walk into that hospital room and confess to having feelings for her all along. . ."

He didn't finish his threat. Instead, he stood up and wiped his hands on his pants. He was about to walk away but stopped. He didn't bother to turn around as he spoke up.

"By the way," he said through his teeth, "She's awake."

I watched Mitch leave before slowly standing up. I made my way down the hallway, my nerves jumping all over the place the closer I got to her. I hesitated outside her room, continually wiping my sweaty hands on my pants. Whenever I reached for the door handle, I never made it all the way to it. As I tried to reach for the handle again, the door swung open.

"Matt," Summer gasped. She looked over her shoulder before quickly closing the door. "I don't think you should be here."

"Summer, please," I stuttered. "I just want to. . ."

"You've done enough."

* * * * *

After Summer stopped me from going into Y/N's room, I was even more determined to talk to her. I waited for Summer to leave before sneaking back down the hallway. I ducked into Y/N's room, my breath getting caught in my throat when I turned and saw Y/N asleep in the hospital bed.

I felt numb as I walked over and sat next to her. I hesitated to grab her hand because I didn't want to wake her up. Instead, I sat back in the uncomfortable chair and thought about the last conversation Y/N and I had.

~•~

"Your sister is looking for you," I said. I got concerned when I noticed her still facing away from me. I slowly walked over and grabbed the gauze that was frozen in her hand.

"You okay?"

"I'm fine," she said, not at all convincingly.

"Y/N," I elongated. "You sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine," she said again, sounding less convincing than before.

"I'm in love with you."

I heard her suck in a breath the same time I sucked in one of my own. My mind instantly started going 100 miles an hour.

She was in love with me? Since when? Does everyone know? How could I not know?

"What?" I asked under my breath for clarity. I wanted, no needed to make sure I heard her right.

"Never mind," she stuttered. My heart sank when she started to leave the shack.

"Y/N," I said, trying to get her to look at me. My shoulders slightly sank when she remained facing the door. "What did you say?"

"Just forget it," she said quickly.

Right as she was about to leave, I quickly grabbed her hand and slowly turned her towards me. I tried to get her to look up at me but she kept her stare to the ground.

"Y/N?" I whispered. "Did you mean it? Are you really. . ."

"Yes," she forced out. When she finally looked up at me, her eyes sank. My heart clenched when I saw her struggling to hold back embarrassed tears.

"Y/N," I stuttered, "I'm not. . . It's not that . . . I'm sorry."

She roughly pulled her hand out of mine and cleared her throat like she was trying to get rid of a lump.

"Okay," she whispered.

"Y/N," I sighed.

"It's fine," she said before I could get a chance to explain what was going through my head. It wasn't that I didn't have feelings for her. The truth was, I wasn't sure how I felt about Y/N Quinn.

"I should umm. . . You're taking over, right? You're on the next shift? Okay, I'm gonna go then. Bye, Matt."

"Y/N," I said, trying to get her to stay and hear me out. "Please let's. . ."

I physically jumped when the South Lifeguard tower door shut between us. I sat on one of the extra chairs, my mind not stopping. I ran my fingers through my hair as Y/N's defeated and embarrassed look on her face was stuck in my head.

"I don't know how I feel about you," I mumbled to myself. "But I know I don't want to lose you."

~•~

I've always felt this pull towards Y/N. I just thought it was friendship. That is until she told me how she felt for me. I looked over at her, the guilt suffocating me.

"You don't get it," I whispered, shaking my head and looking away from her. "You left before I could explain. I wasn't stuttering that I didn't have feelings for you. I was stuttering that I wasn't sure. I know that's not better but. . ."

"Matt?"

My head snapped up when I heard my name weakly said. I was met with Y/N's Y/E/C eyes. I smiled as I scooted closer to her.

"Hi," I whispered.

"What are you doing here?"

"I had to see you," I started to ramble. "Look, I know things have been weird between us and I hate it. I absolutely hate this tension between us, Y/N. When you were gone, those were the worst two weeks of my life. I was miserable. I wanted to call you but Summer kept telling me to leave you alone."

"She what?" She asked softly but I kept talking.

"And then when you came back? I didn't know what to do or say. Whatever I rehearsed, didn't seem good enough. Then the boat fire. . . You were underwater for four and a half minutes. Mitch gave you CPR for the whole five-minute boat ride back to shore. The EMTs took over for three minutes before they hooked you up to the defibrillator. One minute and forty-two seconds later, you flatlined. That was the longest minute and forty-two seconds of my life."

"Matt," she said weakly, trying to interrupt me again.

"When you told me how you felt," I continued, "I didn't respond but not because I didn't have a response for you. It was because I was evaluating."

"Evaluating," she repeated. "Matt, what does that mean? Evaluating what?"

"Us," I said before I could stop myself. "I mean evaluating who you are to me. We've been good friends since you started at Baywatch, but I've always thought our relationship was stronger than just a simple friendship. And it wasn't until you left those two weeks that I realized it was a lot deeper than a simple friendship."

"What are you trying to say?" She asked hesitantly.

"I'm saying I have feelings for you," I said quickly. I watched as her eyes widened. She was studying me hard, probably trying to decide if I was being honest with her.

To help reassure her, I continued. "Y/N, I'm not just saying I have feelings for you because I almost lost you. I'm saying it because I didn't realize how I felt for you. I had a general idea but I wasn't sure exactly. I know this doesn't make much sense, but it's the truth. I care about you, Y/N, a lot. I'm sorry it took almost losing you for me to wake up and realize that I've loved you all this time."

I held my breath, waiting for her reaction. When her eyes filled with tears, I couldn't tell if they were happy tears or angry tears. The silence ate away at me, almost as much as the guilt.

"Please say something," I whispered. My breath got caught in my throat when she slowly smiled.

"Come here," she whispered.

I scooted the chair closer to Y/N's bed and grabbed her hand. I leaned down and pressed my lips to hers. The second our lips touched, we instantly started moving them in sync.

Every feeling I've felt since her confession intensified as we finally kissed. It was like everything we've been holding back, burst. Without breaking the kiss, I stood up and carefully crawled onto her bed until I was hovering over her. The kiss got heated as Y/N reached up, grabbed my shirt, and pulled me closer to her.

She moaned when I used the hand that wasn't holding me up to gently rub her hip. I smirked against her lips as I slowly slid that hand up her body. She gasped, breaking the kiss when I found and squeezed her boob. That surprised gasp turned into a painful one.

"Shit," I gasped, moving my weight off of her. "I'm so sorry, Y/N. I should've. . . You've been shot and I. . . I'm sorry. For everything. I never should've. . ."

"Matt," she whispered, cutting me off as she reached up and gently cupped my cheek in her hand. "It's okay."

"No," I stuttered. "It's not okay, Y/N. None of it is. I want to make it up to you. I need to make it up to you."

"Then take me on a date," she said so simply.

"What?"

"Take me on a date," she repeated.

I smiled, feeling like a giddy idiot as I laid down next to her. I let out a satisfied sigh as she immediately cuddled into my chest.

"As soon as you get out of here," I whispered, "I'm taking you on that date."

— 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐈𝐄 𝐒𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑.

WARNINGS: light angst & swearing.

AUTHOR'S NOTES: he's one of my ultimate favorite snk characters, and i needed to cleanse my page of the heavy ass warrior content djjfjf.

"you're either a blessing, or you're a lesson. either or, you and i met for a reason."

with all of the gore and the misfortune that comes with your livelihood, it's connie that gets you through it.

as expected, you first fell in love with him for his humor. not for the humor itself, but for how it shed the smallest flicker of joy upon a heaping tower of despair— as soldiers, you needed that. fortunately, he was the one that brought it to the table. even during your days as cadets, connie lived to make you laugh. hearing a chuckle flutter from your core served as a form of therapy for him, and with time, he grew addicted.

with that being said, he does the stupidest shit in order to get your attention. even when you're together, he'll do what needs to be done. for example, one time, he tried to impress you by doing a trick while saddled up on his horse. in an attempt to twirl like a jackass ballerina, the horse decided that it deserved better, and kicked him clean off its back. at the sight of his 5'2 ass being hoisted eight feet into the air, you nearly choked.

prepare yourself, he's a cuddler. after a particularly hard day's worth of work, connie finds solace in bedding up with you, knowing that you're safe, and with him. he asks that you don't tell anybody, but he actually really enjoys cuddling as the little spoon. to have his head pressed against your chest, his ear to your heartbeat, brings him comfort. of course, he'll never detest to being your big spoon, either. he absolutely loves the feeling of you buried within his touch.

^ if you ever want to go an evening without cuddling, he'll be immediately offended. never, ever, ever will the two of you fall asleep back to back. he simply won't have it, it makes him feel as if something's wrong. and if that is the case, nobody's falling asleep until you've talked about it and successfully sorted it out.

at the beginning of your guys' relationship, everyone worried for you. did he coerce you, y/n? are you being forced? has he threatened you, has he threatened your family? nobody could grasp the fact that connie motherfuckin' springer had managed to pull you.

if there's any sort of sour talk regarding you, no matter how little it is, this man will leap to your defense. one time, jean called your bedhead ugly, and connie propelled a moldy roll of bread into his forehead. in the end, a massive food fight erupted, and you were just standing there with your bedhead like 🧍‍♀️

HOWEVER, there was an instance that actually led to a genuine, real fight between you two as a couple. you'd managed to scuff up your leg during the battle with kenny the ripper and his associates, and when it came down to who was and who wasn't going to tag along for the eren & historia rescue mission, connie belittled you to the team behind your back. not because he actually felt that way, but because he'd do anything to maintain your safety— even if it meant hurting your feelings. telling captain levi that your abilities were inadequate for that particular mission hurt him, but he did what he felt was necessary.

in the end, though, levi saw through the charade. to connie's dismay, you came with to save eren and historia. and during the entire journey, you didn't even utter a word to him. of course, though, during the battle, you put your frustrations aside. once you saw your lover's head nearly get kicked in during combat, you understood his intentions, and you forgave him. as expected, he replied to your forgiveness with humor,, his go-to coping mechanism.

"considering how sexy i looked on the battlefield, i knew you wouldn't be able to resist."

whenever his hair starts to grow out, you're the one that gets to cut it back down! he's able to do it himself, but he really likes it when you do it. you're typically propped up in his lap, sitting face to face as you file down his edges. he always loops his arms around your waist, intently staring you in the face— seeing you so concentrated on his hair, he can't help it.

you wouldn't expect this from connie whatsoever, but he likes it when you read to him. pick a literature of your choice and let him kick back and rest his head onto your lap, pleasE. he'll close his eyes, and for the first time in forever, stay still. the only time he and books ever coexist is when you're reading one to him. he'll also make fun of you whenever you stumble over a sentence,, so get ready.

the day you realize that this motherfucker is nearing six feet tall, you're ready for the holy spirit to whisk you away. literally, you measure his height on the weekly once you realize he just keeps gaining inches. that, and when he starts growing more into his face? lawd, take you now.

"connie, you're getting seXY-"

"what the hell does thaT mE A N-"

many, many proposals. none are meant to be taken seriously, which the both of you know. still, there are far too many proposals between the two of you. one time, you killed a fly midair, and he thought you were the baddest bitch on the block.

"marry me."

another time, he swooped you into the air with his maneuvering gear, and as you held onto him for dear life, you looked him dead in the face: "marry me, you baldheaded bastard."

it can be a reel, how many times the two of you say that bullshit. somehow, it's cute.

he doesn't really take basic boundaries into consideration. like, one time, you caught him using your toothbrush because he couldn't find his. it wasn't fun, you had to give him a serious talking to.

he is, without a doubt, constantly prepared to lay down his life for you on the battlefield. during his time as a soldier, he's grown significantly strong— and once he fell in love with you, he's felt even stronger. not only do you give him drive, but you lend him strength. with that being said, you're somebody he'd die for without even an ounce of hesitation. and knowing him, he's probably made that more than obvious.

when connie's village was destroyed and it was discovered that his entire family was turned into titans, you were one of the only ones to actually comfort him. you were absolutely enraged at how nonchalantly your lover's loss was set aside, and although he'd tried his hardest to conquer the grief alone, it was you who sat at his bedside at night, cradling him in your arms as he wept. never in your life had you seen him so distraught. after that period of time, your relationship with him only deepened in its seriousness. 

as expected, you and sasha spend quite a bit of time together! after all, that's your boyfriend's best friend. given her easygoing nature, it didn't take long for sasha to absolutely adore you. naturally, she wonders how the hell you manage to operate with a boyfriend like that, but she tries not to ask questions.

speaking of the wonder twins, they love getting you in trouble. whenever the two of them think up an astonishingly moronic shenanigan, there's a solid 50/50 chance that you'll be looped into it, too. one time, they purposefully dulled jean's razor, and when he went to shave, it only ended in him splitting his face open due to placing too much pressure. as a joke, those two jackasses carved your initials into the handle. when jean decided that he'd murder you, connie tried playing the hero, lEapiNg to your defense. it was stupid, and it didn't work. you still laugh about it, though.

there have been several jokes regarding starting a family and growing old together— secretly, though, connie doesn't want them to just be jokes.

he stole a stray cat for you. yup, yes he did. the two of you were walking about the city, and you saw a gray-haired sleeping beside a trash bin behind a local vendor. you compared its fur to the color of his hair, calling it cute. out of impulse, connie went back to that exact same vendor later on that day, trapped the cat in a box, and brought it to your doorstep.

his forearms and fingertips were covered in claw marks, but to see your face light up the way that it did, any amount of pain was immediately worth it.

after the nickname that shadis had given connie on the first day of cadet training, you named the kitty q-ball. 🥺

during the season four era, the two of you share a house. at first, captain levi argued against it— "put a pair of horny teenagers in a home together, what do you think is gonna happen?"

y'all said fuck it, and lived together anyways. it's you, him, and your lovely child, q-ball. occasionally jean, too. some nights, he doesn't want to be alone.

eskimo kisses. during the prepping of every single mission, you'll get eskimo kisses. it's a small, loving gesture the two of you do before heading into the battlefield. as a sign of your love, you'll press your foreheads together and rub noses, weapons holstered and ready for combat. it's a serious tradition, and it'll never be ignored.

and after a mission, connie has this habit of pinching your cheeks immediately after rushing towards you. it isn't to be cute, either. it's so that he can scan you, and check you for any harm. basically, it's him squeezing the life out of your face while bombarding you with questions.

expect supremely cheesy pet names! bae, biscuit, buttercup, baby thing, sexy bitch, and so on. if it were anyone else, he would 100% make fun of them. but it's him, therefore adorable.

Can’t Take My Eyes Off You

Pairing: Dabi x villain!Reader

Warnings: yandere, obsession, non-con, stalking, mentions of human experimentation, non-consensual drug use, lots of swearing.

Words: 1841.

Summary: Running away from the lab where you had been experimented on for years, you have no choice but to join the League of Villains to escape from the government. Of course, you don’t expect things to go smoothly, especially when one mutilated son of a bitch just can’t leave you alone.

P.S. I’ve suddenly remembered Rogue who had been my favorite character once; the heroine’s Quirk is partly based on her ability.

My dear @navegandoaciegas​, this is my first attempt at writing Dabi. Hope you’re going to enjoy reading it ❤

_________________

"Fuck, how much can you drink at once, birdie? Ain't you scared to pass out in a place full of men?"

Oh God, it was that smug bastard again. For the past couple of days Dabi couldn't get off your back for a full damn minute.

"Men? Here?" You opened your eyes and raised an eyebrow at the man whose face was right above yours as he leaned on the back of the couch where you laid. "I see just a couple of kids and one burnt corpse who can never fucking shut up."

"Oh? Wanna see how well can a burnt corpse fuck you up?"

Always up to a challenge. You rolled your eyes at his obvious display of hostility despite the fact he'd most definitely lose against you. Besides, Shigaraki would barely enjoy you two ruining the League's hideout, and upsetting that asshole ready to go berserk any moment certainly wasn't one of your priorities.

"Just go fuck yourself, would you? I'm not in the mood to bark at you."

"Well, then don't. I didn’t come here for that, actually."

This was something new. He suddenly became calm as you studied his grotesque mutilated face inches away from yours. Your expression didn’t betray any emotions either since you weren't shocked or disgusted by the way Dabi looked: you've seen worse in the laboratory, and repulsive things had long stopped looking repulsive to you.

"What are you here for, then?" You asked him, trying to remember if you finished that second bottle of sake or not. Since the time you accidentally got one of those useless Quirks, you couldn't get drunk anymore - now strong alcohol only made you sleepy.

"I've always wanted to ask why the fuck are you wearing these." Dabi pointed out to the black leather gloves laying on the coffee table in front of you, and you rolled your eyes again. One more useless question.

"In this team of no-brainers you're the last person I expected to ask me this question." Groaning, you moved up a little to take more comfortable position and stared at the man above you intensely.

"Don't you want to gather as many Quirks as possible? If so, why wearing gloves when you can only get a Quirk through touch?"

You were close to snapping at him, and it certainly made Dabi look even more smug.

"Who the fuck do you think I am, a garbage bin?" You barked wishing you could teleport the bastard somewhere to Hawaii. "I only take Quirks I need, and it isn't easy to find those in that damp of useless abilities regular citizens have. Besides, some Quirks are quite dangerous for their owners and I'd prefer them not existing at all. You, of all people, should already get that, Pretty Face."

He smiled at you, but you saw his hollow eyes sparkling dangerously at your last remark, and you felt his body emanating heat he could turn into his famous blue flames within a second. Nasty shit, that what's you thought of his Quirk. Who on Earth would want anything like that? You doubted anyone but a true psychopath could really appreciate something as fucked up as Dabi's ability to burn anything and anyone, himself including. You definitely didn't want to use his Quirk despite already taking it as almost all of those belonging to the League of Villains. It wasn't intentional, though.

"You'd better start watching your mouth, birdie. You ain't back in the lab." His smile grew wider as he saw your expression darkening at the mention of the lab.

Fucking son of a bitch. You bet he'd go insane during the first month being locked up there.

"Huh, calm down, dear. I think it's better we get along."

You sent him a glare wishing you could throw his overconfident ass out of the window. Dabi loved messing with fucking everyone, Shigaraki included, but he was still a valuable member of the team. Killing him would do you no good.

Showing him your middle finger, you put your head on the pillow and took the half-empty bottle of sake. Thank goodness you didn't finish it. You hoped Dabi would vanish by the time you were done.

You spent a few minutes in complete silence as the man kept leaning on the couch and watching you drinking while you did your best trying to relax. Why the Hell was Dabi stuck here with you? Didn't he have any other things he should be doing now? Was he here to get under your skin even more? Shit, you just wanted to be left alone. You wanted it since the time they brought you to the lab, but since then somebody had always been getting on your nerves one way or the other.

"Seriously, what do you want from me?" You grunted as you opened your eyes again and stared at Dabi's face. "You wanna take the couch or what? I ran out of sake if you're here for it."

There was that smug smile again. Saints, the guy had been creeping you out with his long intense stares for quite some time, but today he was even less bearable than usual. He definitely wanted something from you, and the feeling was making you uneasy.

"You wanna hook up, birdie?"

You thought you were gonna choke on air when you heard him saying that. What? Seriously? Did he hurt his head so bad last time heroes attacked? So, that was the meaning of those stares, then? He thought you were the one he could stick his dick in. Wincing from the thought like from a toothache, you squeezed your eyes shut. The guy was clearly mad.

"Are you out of your mind? Why would I want to hook up with anyone?" You huffed with irritation and realized Dabi was having way more fun than you.

"Don't tell me you're actually a virgin."

"You think I can be a virgin with the life I'm having?" You sounded more bitter than you thought you would, and the man above you chuckled. He was getting on your nerves more and more with each passing second.

"Then why not? Sex is a good way to relax. You certainly seem like you could let off some steam." You flinched when Dabi extended his hand to you, but he had only brushed of a lock of your hair out of your face. "I bet I can help you with that better than most of the team."

"Sex is painful, and I don't like pain. Go have fun with Toga, she seems more into that than me." You narrowed your eyes at him, your hand almost touching his neck if the villain decided he'd go further without your consent. His stupid grin going wider was making you more and more mad.

Of course, he wouldn't go to Himiko. That asshole had his own type, and she certainly didn't fall into that category. Why did you? You had no idea, but you doubted he would ever lay his hands on you. Yeah, you knew what sex was, and it had nothing to do with pleasure like in those stupid romantic novels you once bought. It was humiliating and painful. If you had a chance to get back to those who did it to you back in the lab, you'd rip their hearts out of their rib cages.

The expression on your face didn't seem to faze Dabi even the slightest bit, and you rolled your eyes in irritation. Apparently, he wouldn't give up unless you showed him you weren't some doll he could play with, and Shigaraki was probably going to get real mad at the both of you this evening.

All of a sudden you felt some strange tickling in your muscles you had never felt before. What was that? Confused, you quickly glanced over the room to see no one except Dabi still on his spot. What was that? Was it some hero's work? Had they found your hideout? No, it couldn’t be. You'd hear them, feel them before somebody even set their foot on your territory. It wasn't a hero.

Unwilling to wait for any surprises to happen, you used a regeneration Quirk, the one you were gifted on your 14th birthday so you could heal yourself after they ran the tests without troubling a healer too much. Strangely, the Quirk did nothing about the tickling, and you felt your legs getting weaker. What the fuck was that?

As you raised your head to ask Dabi for help, you suddenly realized he was eager to see what you were doing. He looked like he enjoyed watching you in such state, confused and even frightened, your knees slightly trembling as if you became weak within a couple of seconds.

It was him. He did something to you. The bastard had the nerve to do something to your body so it'd be easier to handle you.

"What have you done?" You hissed at him while he chuckled, pointing at the bottles of sake on the table. "Have you poisoned my drink?"

But the regeneration would work in that case. You knew for sure.

Running his finger around the shell of your ear, Dabi hummed with content, "Poisoned? Come on, who do you think I am, an Evil Queen? That's just a little handy potion that has a tendency to slowly accumulate in your body. Makes you a little softer, don't you think?"

Oh. Oh. That's why he was always watching you. He had no idea when the effects would start to show. Did he fucking realize it could happen in the heat of the battle when you needed your Quirks the most? Did Dabi have any idea what would happen if heroes managed to lock you away again?

"Seems like you planned to abandon me if heroes attacked, didn't you?" You gritted your teeth when Dabi got on top of you, his hands on your chest as he caressed your body like a lover would, his hot fingers getting under your clothes.

"Of course not. I'd play your personal hero and save your stubborn ass the trouble of murdering everyone."

While you desperately wanted to kick him off you came to realization you weren't able to even stand up, your arms and legs so weak you could barely move while Dabi had no problems stripping you out of your clothes, his hands on the your thighs as he took off your pants.

Shit, shit, shit. You couldn’t use any Quirks to hurt him, all of them barely responding to your call. What was that potion? Why nobody in the lab prepared you for this? How on Earth did that shithead obtain such a dangerous thing?

"If you hurt me, I'll rip your brain out of your skull and bring it to Shigaraki as a present."

His chapped, disfigured lips brushed against your neck almost gently when the man murmured, "It doesn't have to be painful, birdie. I'll show you how much fun we can have together."

2, 6, 7, 8, 30, 34?

Writing asks are here.

Anything that you’d like to write but feel like you’re unable to?

Action scenes are SO HARD. And I would love to add more of them because I know my writing tends to be a lot of "people standing/sitting around and talking". But, every time I make one, it feels like repetitive nonsense.

What’s your ratio for rating your works?

I rate that shit with my heart lol. It helps my writing tends to be pretty vanilla, so it's not hard to say "okay this is past where I normally go" and deserves a higher rating.

Your favourite ao3 tag.

Always up for "no beta we die like men".

How slow is a slow burn?

I am so impatient with a slow burn, but it should take at a bare minimum like 5-10 chapters before anyone acts on anything.

Describe a fic that almost happened, but then it didn’t.

Okay this is going behind a read more because I'm actually super excited about two fics that will probably never happen.

1.

So it opens with Melli getting jumped. His team and Lord are killed, he's worked over hard, and the attackers also take out Lady Sneasler when she tries to intervene. For a whole bunch of reasons, very heavily including he knows his own reputation, Melli ends up killing himself over this. And it partially gets dismissed as "well he was a shit so he was obviously a shit warden", but also two guardian pokemon are dead and that absolutely can't stand.

So Coin gets dragged in because she was spotted in the area recently, and it's pinned on her because she likewise has a terrible reputation. But she's VERY adamant she didn't do anything, and more than that she has a single Toxicroak which wouldn't have been able to do anywhere near the damage that was done. Especially without leaving poison just like... everywhere and there isn't a drop of Toxicroak venom to be found at the scene.

She's railroaded through Galaxy Team's courts and is set to hang. But Adaman can't get the doubts out of his head, and he goes to find her in jail to interrogate her himself. And she's convincing that she didn't have anything to do with it, but also she's sure that being innocent of this particular offense won't matter much.

So now the race is on to figure out what actually happened before something else does.

2.

The events of ORAS have happened, and the catastrophes become international news. 16 year old Cyrus is absolutely down for an organization that wants to drown everything. So he runs away from home, and uses all the money he has to get passage to Hoenn.

By the time he gets there, he's an exhausted, half-starving mess. That doesn’t stop him from lying about his age to get into the recruitment event for what he doesn't realize is the newly combined and reformed Aqua and Magma.

Cyrus is very transparently a walking red flag, and Archie and Maxie are called over immediately to figure out what to do with him. But they're also not going to throw this pathetic mess out because their dad instincts are just too strong.

So Cyrus has ended up in a familial situation where he's treated well and is actually given some damned treatment. And he ends up being dragged kicking and screaming into being a regular person.

Do you write to improve? Or is that not a concern for you?

I mostly write just for fun, but it's all practice whether you want to call it that or not. It's hard not to appreciate how incredibly far I've come when I go back and read things that are 10+ years old.

10th, 11th and 12th doctor x male reader

10, 11 and 12 | jealous part 2

y/n = your name

n/n = nickname

y/n's pov

it was the morning after i met the doc- peter's 2 past selves, david and matt. we stayed up all night asking each other questions about time and space and all that wibbly wobbly stuff.

i was laying in my bed, in the middle, with peter on my left and david and matt on my right. thank god i had a big bed or all of us wouldn't be able to fit. they were all asleep and i had my arms around them and looked up at the ceiling.

"why me god? why did you choose me?" i asked in my head and i went deeper into my thoughts. i thought about all of the adventures me and peter have been on, all of the laughs, the smiles, and then there's the life of death situations, which were my least favorite part by far.

i was pulled out of my thoughts my shifting on the bed and i looked around and saw the 3 men waking up. peter woke first and i looked at him and smiled and he smiled back. god i felt so fuzzy inside when he smiled.

i felt cold fingers on the back of my neck and i jumped a little.

"hey... im sorry, did i scare you y/n?" i turned back around to see a soft smile from david.

"i-im sorry for jumping like that... i um-" i started stuttering, i always start to stutter when i get nervous or scared, god it's so embarrassing. eventually i started shaking a bit, ah yes, that must be my anxiety kicking in. fucking anxiety, it ruins my life. i hate it so much.

"calm down n/n, you're okay... hey it's me peter, the doctor." peter embraced me from behind and i leaned into his touch and closed my eyes. i took a deep breath and i was lost into my thoughts again. i faintly heard the 3 doctors talking amongst themselves, probably about how dumb i am.

"d-doctor i-" i stuttered again and i opened my eyes again to see matt and david looking down at me.

"which one?" matt asked and raised his eyebrow.

"all of you..." i sat up from peter's lap and slid off the bed and stood in front of them.

"im sorry for freaking out, i have major anxiety and some ptsd.. i promise im not scared of any of you, just you touching the back of my neck made me go back into relapse. im sorry." i explained and they just stared at me and didn't say a word, peter's stare looked more intense than the others, i never shared any of this information with him before now, god knows how he feels now.

i walked out of my room and headed down the hall to the gaming room, i grabbed an xbox controller, the tv remote and a bottle of beer and sat down in a bean bag chair and i turned the tv on. i turned on my controller and settled into the chair and opened my beer bottle and gulped it down. i also got my headset and put it  on.

*like 5 minutes later...*

"oi! fuck off mate this is my kill you bastard!" i screamed into my mic.

"hey! no need to yell! geez." the other person replied and i rolled my eyes and focused on the game. i had quite loud music coming from my speaker so i couldn't hear like anything from around me beside my game and coming from my headset. i sipped on my beer and came to the end of it and i cursed quietly.

"what's wrong?" the person asked through the headset.

"i ran out of beer, hold on."

"okay hurry up! i have to help my mum with the groceries soon!" the person replied, rose tyler, god i love her to death, if i wasn't gay i would marry her in a heartbeat.

i took off my headset and i put my controller down and went to the fridge and grabbed another bottle of beer out, as i turned around to get back to my chair, 3 figures appeared out of nowhere, i screamed and i dropped the bottle.

"shit!" i cursed and looked down at the broken bottle and the beer pouring out onto my socks, soaking them.

"who the bloody hell-" i looked up to see the doctors. matt went over to my speaker and turned down the music, i pouted a little and rolled my eyes.

"y/n!? get your arse over here before we lose! i'm carrying this team right now!" rose yelled through the mic, i looked at the doctors quickly and they all had shocked looks on their faces, i tilted my head a little and ran over to my headset and controller.

"uh no offense guys, but like can you wait till this games over? my friend rose is waiting for me." i said quickly and all 3 of their mouths were hanging open.

"what's wrong? i know im devilishly handsome this morning but? it's not that is it.." i stopped my sentence.

"y/n, who else are you with?" rose asked.

"oh im with my boyf- friends... yeah." i quickly covered up the boyfriends part.

"y/n, i know when you're lying, you're not very good at it, hey turn on your camera for a sec." rose told me and i turned on the settings for tv camera and she popped up in a small square in the corner of the screen.

"hi rose! these are my friends the doctors!" i waved to her and showed her the doctors, who were still in shock for some reason.

"d-doctor!? is that really you?" rose exclaimed and david ran up to the screen and got really close to it.

"rose- like rose tyler!?" all 3 doctors shouted at the same time.

"uh, yeah rose tyler, she's my best friend." i said.

"do you guys- know her? rose you didn't tell me about this." i said to her and her expression through the camera was shocked as well.

"you travel with the doctor now!?" she yelled and i winced at how loud she yelled through her mic.

"wait a god damn minute, there's no fucking way, doctors... rose like this rose, rose tyler!?!?!" i pointed to rose on the screen and 3 nodded frantically.

"my day has just gotten 10 times better!" i exclaimed and looked at rose.

"well rose, these are the doctors, there's david, the extremely, god, hot one. then there's matt, the regeneration after david. then there's my doctor, peter." i showed all the doctors off to rose.

"damn y/n, you got 3 older men on your tail, now tell me, how do i pick up a guy like that?" she winked and grinned.

"rose shut up! bloody hell!" i yelled and blushed furiously.  i turned my camera off and put my headset back on.

"hey rose, everything's chaos right now, i'll facetime you later alright?" i said and she laughed.

"of course y/n! don't have too much fun now! i don't know if you can handle 3." she giggled.

"rose tyler, fuck you." i disconnected the call and turned off my game and the tv. i turned around to be faced with all 3 doctors again, this time they all had serious faces on.

“im so fucked right now aren’t i?” i said.

all 3 of them shook their heads.

i groaned all went to hell once again.

a/n: there might be a part 3 to this. sorry this is all over the place lol.
