“Spence,” you said sweetly, leaning against the back of the chair he had just sat in. “You know how much I love you, right?”
Spencer glanced up at you suspiciously, his eyes narrowing. “Yes… and I feel like you’re about to weaponize that love against me.”
You grinned. “Not against you. For you. Your eyebrows, to be specific.”
He groaned, throwing his head back dramatically. “We’ve talked about this, Y/N. They’re fine. They don’t need fixing.”
(For weeks, you’d been trying to convince him to let you fix his eyebrows. Not that they were bad, per se, but there was just a little untamed chaos there that you knew you could tame.)
“They’re not fine. You’ve got stray hairs everywhere, and it’s driving me insane. I just want to clean them up a little!”
“I’d like to remind you that I’m a grown man and perfectly capable of managing my own eyebrows,” he protested, even though you both knew he never did.
You sighed dramatically. “You’ve left me no choice.”
Before he could protest further, you climbed onto his lap, straddling him and effectively trapping him in the chair.
“Y/N! What are you doing?” he exclaimed, his hands instinctively moving to steady you at your waist.
“Taking matters into my own hands,” you said with a smirk, pulling a pair of tweezers out of your pocket.
Spencer groaned again, his cheeks flushing pink. “This is unfair. You’re using my inability to physically overpower you against me.”
“Correct,” you chirped. “Now, hold still.”
He muttered something about how this was a violation of his personal space, but he didn’t move. You leaned in, examining his brows with laser focus.
“Okay, this won’t hurt too much,” you promised, carefully plucking the first stray hair.
“OW!” he yelped, flinching.
“Oh, stop being a baby,” you teased, gripping his chin to steady him. “One down, a hundred to go.”
Spencer huffed, his hands instinctively resting on your waist to keep you balanced. “I don’t even know why this is necessary. No one’s looking at my eyebrows that closely.”
“I am,” you replied, plucking another hair.
“Lucky me,” he grumbled, but you caught the ghost of a smile on his lips.
The next few minutes were filled with his exaggerated whining and your mock scolding, the both of you laughing more than anything else. But then, as you leaned in to focus on a particularly stubborn hair, you shifted slightly on his lap.
That’s when you felt it.
Your movements stilled, and you glanced down, realizing exactly what had happened. A slow grin spread across your face as you looked up at Spencer, whose cheeks were already turning a deep shade of red.
“Oh,” you said, trying—and failing—not to laugh.
“Don’t,” he warned, his tone a mix of mortification and desperation.
You burst out laughing, unable to help yourself. The sight of his flushed face and his clear discomfort was just too funny. “Oh my God, Spencer! This is hilarious.”
“It’s not hilarious,” he muttered, his voice muffled as he hid his face in his hands. “It’s biology. It’s involuntary.”
“Involuntary, huh?” you teased, leaning forward just enough to make him groan in protest. “So you’re saying this has nothing to do with me?”
“Y/N,” he pleaded, his voice a low warning. “This is serious.”
“It’s seriously funny,” you said, still laughing as you climbed off his lap, much to his relief—and apparent dismay.
But before you could move far, his hand shot out, gripping your wrist. “You can’t just leave me like this,” he said, his voice soft but laced with need.
You raised an eyebrow, feigning innocence. “Leave you like what, Spence?”
“You know what,” he said, his pout returning full force. “You started this. You should finish it.”
His words sent a pleasant shiver down your spine, but you couldn’t resist teasing him just a little longer. “Finish your eyebrows first?”
Spencer let out a groan, leaning back in the chair with a defeated look. “You’re impossible.”
You laughed, leaning down to press a kiss to his cheek. “And yet, you love me.”
He sighed, his lips twitching into a reluctant smile. “I do. Even when you���re torturing me.”
You grinned, stepping closer and letting your fingers trail along his jaw. “Tell you what, Dr. Reid. If you’re a good boy and let me finish your eyebrows, I’ll see what I can do about… your problem.”
His eyes darkened slightly at your tone, and he swallowed hard. “Deal.”
“Good,” you said with a wink, grabbing the tweezers again. “Now hold still.”

☾ summary : Rome has never been the same since Emperor's Geta wife died, can you bring back the life he has before?
☾ pairing : Widowed!Emperor Geta x Servant!FEM!reader
☾ wc : 18+ MDNI angst, slow-burn, struggling with grief, fluff, smut, aftercare <3, Geta refers reader as "lass", discrimination, cursing, slight harassment, attempted poisoning, allusions to sexism and misogyny, appearance of General Acacius & Caracalla, hostile, aggression, no use of y/n, historical inaccuracies, reader is intelligent and different among the others
☾ agatha's masterlist ☾
"Leave me be!"
"Sire-"
"I said leave me be!"
The consul's scrambled everywhere as they quickly exited the room, numerous chatter swirled the area, he is upset yet again, it appears so
"Rome will fall, if he can't do his culpability" the patrician speak as he smirks taking a sip of his wine on a chalice
"Says who drowned themselves in leisure, yes, you have the power but you patricians who doesn't even contribute to this society, meaning you have no use at all!" one of the consul's spits venom that provoked the man in front of him as they clashed together in a heated argument that turned into a fight
"Enough of this foolishness!"
All of the men stopped abruptly as they saw who walked by
"The emperor is not in the mood for political talk as of the moment, so, all of you are dismissed!"
"Apologies, General Acacius" the member of the consul's shakes his head, absolutely humiliated by the behavior of the Senate, at a disapproval manner as he nudges his head at the door
"Have I not been clear? I needed to be alone"
"It's me, your liege"
He stifle an angry sigh when he recognized the male's voice as he clears his throat, he twists on his rings as he helped him calm for a bit as he turns around slowly, a twinkle on his eyes, the frown that he has on earlier has curved up into a slight smile
He won again, conquering every country that he commands him to do
"Pardon me for barging in but now it is done, can I see my wife and k-"
"There are more victories still yet to come"
He doesn't even let him finish, Acacius has to swallow his frustrations and sadness as he had to remain respectful in front of his Lord, but deep down, he knew
He always knew that he won't get out of this anytime soon, he is like tied to a chain that couldn't break
Taking over the next land and after the next place, it is very tiresome and he doesn't want to be remembered this way
He has seen so many innocent lives that he has to took just because of an order from the highest ruler of Rome, it's execution if he disoblige it, even he's the most-skilled General who won many battles but that's all erased when you're chosen for this duty
He doesn't even feel like he is doing his job as a General, he feels like a slave
It's an endless cycle, he figured that this is his coping mechanism ever since he rages out of nowhere, he can't even see the Emperor he once knew, he knew his ladywife back in the day when there's no blood spilt in the streets of Rome
He also knew that his own wife didn't want this for him and for Rome
But, can he blame him? He loved her too much and her being the leverage of why he does his responsibility so smoothly, his inspiration
Geta, he once knew didn't care about being powerful, untouchable, or feared, he was already contented on what he has have while being the Emperor and an Empress on his side
But that life strucked him out of it after his wife died on incurable disease
Everybody knew how this story goes, the town, the soldiers, and you
"Me and my dear brother are going to celebrate and set up a new entertainment for your winning" Geta says triumphantly as he missed the melancholic gaze that his General has
"The Colosseum, I presume?" He let out a small sigh as he forced a light smile
"Yes, Acacius, The Colosseum indeed"
┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈
Whilst the action is happening, the crowds roar in cheer, Caracalla snickering in excitement as he sits besides his brother
Upon watching, Geta eyes never leaves in the field as he takes a huge gulp from his chalice, his face contorts into a unpleasantness as he drops the chalice alerting everyone around him, he holds his stomach in the process
He raises a hand not to do anything but when he starts violently coughing he falls back down in the ground, the shock gasps from the townspeople and so as the other upper social class that accompanied the two twin emperor's and the fighting in the dirt down under also caught attention in this
"Emperor Geta has been poisoned!" The consul's takes the chalice from the ground as he notices the wine has been spiked in some kind of a dangerous element in the drink
"Brother?" Caracalla immediately concerned to his twin and it makes him even more worried when he doesn't received anything from his brother, to that, he signals the gladiator's away and calls it off
"Can you find who it is and bring him to me, I'm sure whoever that was hasn't gone far enough" General Acacius asks one of his troops to search the one who intently wants to kill his Emperor
He is well aware of how cruel his ruler is, no matter how bad he was, it is no right to take someone's life
"He has to rest but I'm not sure he will live long enough" The nurse defeatedly as he releases a shaky breath
"What?!?" Caracalla panicks as he breathes heavily, he doesn't know what to do, only his brother can do bigger decisions for them and he don't know what he'll do if his brother passes away
He catches his brother stirred in a painful movement as he exasperatedly sighs as he gestures the nurse outside of the room to talk privately
Unbeknown to them, you we're there already waiting for the right moment, you have prepared the healing mixture in a bowl and you quickly took a spoonful of it
"Your grace, this will make you feel better"
A voice
A voice from a young woman beside him, he can't look at you closely when he's in a state of being delirious in this horrible feeling that is going on his system
He manages to ate everything that you could give him but you flinched at the sound of the banging doors
"Peasant!" Caracalla shouts as the glasses on every window ringed at the loudest tone that he directly went into you
"Merciful heavens-" The nurse exclaims as he snatches the bowl from your hands as you bowed your head down
You are not allowed to speak or even look at them unless they ask you to
Caracalla inspects on what you did but he saw his brother features eased a little bit when seconds ago he looked like he is in agony but of course, he doesn't want to give you the satisfaction that you obviously helped him but he doesn't stand you considering you're his personal servant before
"Scram!" He yells and your shoulders shook as you get on your feet together as you headed out of the door
The nurse swipes a finger on the bowl as he tasted it
"What is it?"
"It's....honey...sir"
┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈
You know what you have done was risky and life threatening to be exact since you know how the twin emperor's punished everyone who dares to belittle them or underestimated them
You also knew, you are not someone who is in the higher class of the empire, you are no one
You're just a simple servant who follows commands, cleans, serves, and does all the work for them to keep the palace sleek and comfortable to them
But you've been here for far too long and learned that Geta, he has more humanity left in him than his brother
"Geta is soulless" they say, but to you, he is still there and he is still the same just waiting for someone to unleash it, you can see it in his eyes sometimes, you know all he wanted was to rest for a while but being an Emperor is an enormous weight on his shoulders to be carried because everyone expects him to make Rome great again
You admired him despite the unholiness things he has done, in your heart, you will always going to accept him
But you will always be the one who looks at him from afar because you're just a servant, if things were in a different circumstances you could've talk to him in an easy way but that only happens in dreams
"This is the girl who gave you that whatever substance that she made you eat last night" Caracalla drags you all the way to Geta's room making you drop to your knees as he shoves you harshly to the marbled floor
Geta stares at you, he stood up from his bed as he walks forward to you
"Stand up"
You do as he says while keeping your head down, he encircles you, even you don't see his expressions you feel his gaze analyzing every bit of you
"The nerve of this-"
"Brother, I've had enough"
He huffs as he wrongly thinks that his twin suggesting you to warm his bed
You swallowed nervously at that as you controlled your calmed composure, you tried your best to mask your stunned expression when he denies his brother's words as he escorts him outside of his room
When he appears in front of you, he saids in a calmer tone, "Lift your head up" you do as he says but still avoiding his eyes
He shook his head sideways, "I gave you the permission to look at me no need to ask me again" he demands, his voice was firm this time
That's where you can see so much more of him, upclose and personal, it's the first time you laid your eyes on him like this, god, his eyes
It felt like you're staring at him for too long to other emperor's if you have done that, you could've lose your head so you avert your eyes to somewhere else too scared to get killed off on the spot
You know he doesn't have the same qualities like his brother but still you don't wanna disrespect him
He could sense your discomfort, he still continues to assure you, "I am not going to do anything to you, I just wanted to have a civilized conversation to you"
You lightly nod at that, he chuckles and that eases you out when you heard it, "Is that how it goes for everyone?" he walks towards to the balcony with his hands behind his back as he nudges his chin for you to come and join him
"Sometimes, your highness"
"Terror, the terror that gives it away" he saids in a unlikely manner it almost sounds like he is not proud of it
Since he convinced you twice not to be afraid around him, so, you took the chance to spoke up, "Is it true what you said back there?"
He hums in response, you continued "that.... you're not going to use me for your own pleasure?"
He turns his head at you, amused by the sudden boldness that you could ask directful question like that to an Emperor
"I-I am not like my brother, I don't treat women that way" he stutters as you caught a glimpse of misty glimmer on his eyes but he rapidly blinks away as he focuses his stare to something else
It seemed like you just crossed a line, so, you quickly said
"My sincerest apologies for asking such question-"
"No, forgive me, for my brother, My mother thought us how to be proper in courting women but our father was the coldest man in our childhood, I think he consumed that attitude not so much as I do" he explains as he gave you a small smile that is somehow genuine to you as he re-enters inside of his room drinking a glass of water
You followed suit as you stayed in your place not too close from him
"Now, where did you learn that?" He kept his eyes on you
He brings up the question about the syrup that you gave him last night
"From where I come from that's the natural remedies for stomach indigestion but it is commonly used for food poisoning" you plainly said
He thinks your words carefully, "How come you knew that I was having food poisoning?"
"You're acting like you're about to vomit that's one of the cases of the said sickness, and as for the culprit, I fear, whoever that was, has their mission failed unsuccessfully"
He laughs at the last comment, "Oh, General Acacius will deal with that"
"Do you feel better now, my lord?"
"Yes, I do now, thanks to you" he points his chalice to you as you flash him a quick smile
"Is there anything else that I could do for you before I leave?"
He waves his hand at you as you turn and open the door
"Hang on"
You halt in your tracks and you turned around to look at him, "Yes?"
"How come I don't see you around here before?"
You frown at that question, "I am forbidden to answer that, I'm sorry I must go"
Caracalla, he thinks to himself
┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈
"Brother!"
"Geta, for heaven's sake, did you not learn how to knock?!?"
"Where did you find her?"
"Oh, the wretched servant girl?"
"Yes, the servant girl"
A bitter laugh erupts from his chest, "Why are your eyes flaring through me like I've done something wrong?"
"I asked you a question, brother, my patience is thinning"
"Why? Do you want me to get rid of her?"
"Listen here, she told me she is banned to speak her part....unless you imperil her life if she does"
"Oh, yes, we had an agreement" he trails off as Geta stomps forward to him as he pushes him off the chest
"She is my servant here, that's why you haven't seen her before because I prevented her to roam around our palace but that girl's head is stubborn as a rock and also she knows too much and it's outlandish for a young woman to behave like that"
"Where is she positioned then?" He ignores the unnecessary remark about you
"I gave her to you instead, I was supposed to end her life but one of the eldest servants of ours, begged for me to spare her life because I was informed that she excels in a lot of work that is done here"
Geta nods slowly as he thought about you for the second time of the day, it makes sense
"Brother, she is odd, unlike the other women that I brought here, sometimes I do think that she casts a spell on men, a woman shouldn't be that open minded or having a brain"
"Is that the very reason why you cast her out?"
"Yes" he answers absentmindedly
Geta shook his head in disbelief on his brother, "Good thing that you let her live because without her? I wouldn't be alive right now"
He leaves his brother's chambers alone in his own thoughts
┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈
"Is everything settled?"
"Swell"
General Acacius exits the room preparing for another upcoming battle but this time, Geta will come along
You enter inside thought no one is in there, so, you froze standing there
"You can come in, I am about to leave"
You nod at his words as you start wiping with a damp cloth of the artifacts and statues, you didn't mean to look, you accidentally scan over to what he was holding and you saw the papers, it looks like a tatic and war strategy, you took a brief glance over at the weather outside
"I had a feeling it's going to rain hereafter"
Geta removes his eyes on the paper as he follows your gaze, he blinks once or twice, waiting for you to elaborate when you didn't catch on, he spoke
"What exactly you're trying to prattle?"
"I surmise that's your crusade with Sir Acacius?" You point out the paperwork that he's holding as he slowly nod with a perplexed expression trying to grasp your words but he is still evidently confused
Surmise? He'll vouch his own brother on that, he was right, you are no ordinary servant
You are educated, it is given
This makes him piques more interest of getting to know you more
"Yes, it is"
"Is the ground solid?"
"What?"
"The battlefield, is it dirt or solid?"
"Uh.... it's mud"
"I'd say don't wear any armor-"
He snorts, "That's baffling to say-"
"Because it makes you heavy and it's hard to yield your swords"
You watch him as if you can see his mind working on its gears, he raises both of his eyebrows when he finally got what you mean
"How are you certain about this?" He tries to confirm your words
"I just told you, my lordship, I had a feeling" you only shrug your shoulders as you glance at him
"I can't believe I am saying this but I am intrigued"
"One more thing, I suggest you let them come over first before you attack gather everyone at the area and then begin fighting at the pit"
You missed the way his eyes are so fixed on you as you talk, he haven't had this fascinating interaction in years
It's all new to him
"I'll consider your advices, lass"
You curtsey to him before you take your departure as you close the door behind you
┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈
Good gracious
You we're right
If only you we're there to witness it
It's grotesque in all of sorts that Geta himself let all of his men killed one of his longtime foes in the Empire
They're supposed to fought together, but he kept slipping and embarrassing himself in front of him
He won, if he didn't revise his commitment on this, he would've lose it
Geta, however, delighted to celebrate this achievement, but something else is forming on his chest, he thought he could never felt it again after mourning the loss of his wife
You're not advised to meddle with the celebration but you longed for that someday, so, you saw him waving his hand at the townspeople by the window as you stop sweeping for a minute
You know that day won't come
"Before you go, can you call me a servant?" Geta laugh dies down as he straighten himself on the seat
"Yes, of course, your majesty" General Acacius saids fondly with a smile
"Which servant?"
"The bright one"
┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈
"You summon for me?" You enter his chambers and tried to poise as if you're not exhausted and already dreaded the set of overloading tasks that you're going to do
"Yes, my dear-"
He stops and his smile falls, "What happened to your hands?"
You tensed when he takes a hold both of your hands, you watch him, you're insane if you think that he cares about you
But, it seems like he truly does, he's been gone for 2 months and didn't like that he comes home to see this
He disregard the news to you, seeing those scratches, redness, splotches on your soft skin, is mood killer to him
He grumbles his tone changed, "Come with me"
You can't hear what they're saying
You're an inch across in the hallway but you can only tell that Geta is sternly talking to the head of the maids in his palace
The poor middle aged maid who is once treated you unkindly before, to your observation, you feel that she is being sermon by Geta, she is petrified
"If you make her work 10x more harder than all of you usually do, I will have your head for the public to see"
"No! Please-"
"Get the fuck away from my sight"
She scurries from him with the eyes of horror in them
Your eyebrows pulled together in bewilderment
"I've lighten your work load" he grins at you and you get even more bamboozled than before, the only thing you overheard from him is his lowly chuckle
"What- excuse me? Sire?"
He left you hanging like that as you frustratedly sigh and you just went into your cramped room and all alone in your unanswered questions
┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈
"Child, what are you doing here?"
"I-I thought I was assigned to the laundry today?"
"You're not one of us here, not anymore"
"Sorry?"
"You're Emperor Geta's private servant now"
You softly gasp at the revelation as your mouth is hanging agape and you let out a sound of surprise fall from your lips
To that, you headed towards Geta's room, you are more confident to step in anytime since he has never been awful to you
"What in the blazes-"
"There you are"
You felt the mood shift and your questions on your mind had been paused when you caught the broken voice from him
He carefully folded a very old brittle letters, you assume it belongs to his wife, it's delicate and it's very sentimental to him, he uses the back of his hand to wipe the tears on his eyes
"Geta?-"
"Can you lay down on the bed, please?"
You oblige as you get yourself comfortable on his bed, your concern in your eyes has never faltered when you noticed how distress he is
He took off his robe lets it fall down to the floor as he joins you in, you didn't watch him get beside you, you just stare at the ceiling, you felt the mattress dipped
You feel his eyes on you, he is hesitant, he even kept a personal space for you, but he just needs someone to burst this out this heavy feeling that he has
He's been carrying this for ages
And no one is there for him to lean on, until you came
You heard the sniffle as he hiccupped between sobs, "C-Can I hold you?"
"Yes, you may-"
You yelped when he reaches out and grab you and embraces you a bit tightly
That's where he let all of his tears fall as he wept hard on you in the crook of your shoulder
Your heartaches for him, you also realized that he hasn't got anyone to talk to, about this, you know the reason why
It will make him look weak
The moment you wrapped your arms around him, he brings you even more closer to him, you run down your hand on his back from up and down as you let him wallow to you
You comforted him until the both of you drifted away to sleep
┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈
You woke up in a breezy morning with the most velvety blanket covered you
You haven't slept like this peacefully, you feel so relaxed than the rickety old bedframe that you had in your stables
You snap your eyes wide open when you realized where you are
"Calm down, lass"
You fastly sit up from the bed, he places his chalice aside as he sits down on the edge of the bed, a content smile on his face
"Sire-"
"You are welcome to stay here in my quarters, you can do everything that you wish" he says with the emphasis on the word as he held your hand caressing your knuckles with his thumb
He smiles again when he sees your wounds healing, the special ointment that he uses worked "Here, you should eat" he gives you the silver tray filled with variety of food
Before you protest, "I'll attend a meeting, I'll be back"
He left you with another complete unbelievable expression on your face
"This has got to be a dream"
┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈
A rapple knock through the door, startled you out of it, disturbing you with the book that you've been reading, but before you could reach the handle, the same soldier that has been stalking you came in with rage and lust on his eyes, you walk backwards as he closes the door
"You know just because Geta made you his servant doesn't mean I have no right to touch you"
"Please, don't do this-"
"You are not his whore, noblewoman" he chuckles with snarkiness, "you're not his wife"
Your heart cracks, your body begins to shake because of fear, you eye the door behind him, you find look everywhere to use as a weapon
You had no other choice to kick him in the weak spot making him fold in pain, he tries to tussle you and threw you in the bed but you slapped him making him angrier than before
When you ran towards the door, he trips you made you fall flat face down on the floor, you scream out for help as the fresh tears roll down to your face as he drags your feet across the room, he puts himself on top of you
He won't budge as he rips your clothes, you thought it will be the end for you
"Hey!" Geta sheathes his sword pointing at the predator who crawls back, he's like a deer caught in the headlights, you picked yourself up as you went behind Geta's back
Geta's piercing gaze is making the man skin goosebumps on its wake, he gulped hard as he begs for his life and for mercy
"How dare you to enter my abode and wickedly abused my lady?!?" He steps more further to him as you hide behind his back
His lady? What?!?
"I shall eat your heart out and feed you to the lions!" He shouts and raises his sword aiming for his neck
"Geta! No!"
You went over to his front, you have no idea the effect that you're giving him, you saw his gaze softens when it lands on you
He calms down when you weep and hug him instead, but still the fire in his eyes lingered over the man who is now getting arrested by General Acacius men
When the two of you are alone, he spoke, "Are you alright-"
"I'm gonna draw a bath for myself-" you whispered
He sighs as he lets you, the worry on his eyes are glued to your back
He shouldn't have left you all alone
You bring your knees close to your chest as you quietly sob
Geta kept pacing back and forth outside of the bathroom, he runs down his palm on his face
The knock terrifies you again, "Lass?" but your nerves eased when you recognize the voice
"May I come in?"
You thought about it for a while, but you could use some company after what just happened
"Yes"
He gets himself inside, the moonlight is making your skin glow, his heart thumps faster as he walks closer, he felt bad
"I'm so sorry-"
"It isn't your fault, your grace" you sniffle as you cut off the eye contact to him, you feel so ashamed of yourself
"You should've let me kill him-"
"Geta, with all due respect, I'm not yours to begin with"
That's where guilt flashes on his eyes and it's clear to his face, he swallowed the lump on his throat as he breathes deeply
"I knew the Empress, I already accepted way before that I have no place in your world, nobody can ever surpass your lady wife" you croak out the last part as you sniffle
You are wrong about that
"Even you're not mine, I don't like evil things tainted my palace"
You look up to him as he cradled your cheek as he runs his thumb, "Come to my chambers after you finish and wear this" he whispers as he places a white satin dress next to you
┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈
When you finally came back to his chambers, he swiftly turns around to look at you
The air from his lungs knock out as he places his hand on his chest
The contentment on his smile fades slightly when you don't match the one on his face, he can't read you
"What do you need me for?"
"I-I want you to stay here with me"
You scoff, it feels like your wasting your time here, "Geta, you can't just want me and act like this meant nothing!"
"I didn't say that-"
"You shower me with all this affection and lavished me with stuff that I didn't asked for and why do I feel like I'm being the one who filling that void in you?!?"
Oh, you hit the nerve on him
"Slow down with your words, lass"
"Tell me, Geta, what am I here for? what am I to you?"
He sighs and raggedly breathes as he huffs
"Don't push me-"
"Answer me!"
"I can't pursue you because I'm a monster!"
Your heart shatters when you heard his voice cracks, "Geta-"
"You're the only woman that has ever treated me fairly ever since my wife died when in reality anyone could've left me for dead"
You know what exactly he's talking about, the day you saved him from poisoning
"What are you trying to say?"
"I tried to resist but you making it hard for me not to, I-I thought I would never have this, you made me feel alive"
You come closer to him but he kept staying away from him, you plead your eyes to him but he avoids it
"You're too good to me, you don't even know how many times you crossed my mind everytime I'm out there making plans for Rome"
"Geta, you we're only doing what you have to do, I understand-"
"Dearie me, lass, spare me your sympathies, it's unfathomable how much I brought wreckage of Rome, do you know how the town loathes me?!?"
You reach to his face to hold both of his cheek, he gasps within the warmth of your touch
"I could never hate you, there's no fiber in me that despises you, I'm not afraid of you, Geta"
His eyes are glassy and when everywhere as he searches for uncertainty, there's nothing, you are so honest and sure with your words
"Will you spooked out if I do something?"
"No, Geta-"
He slams his lips against yours as you melt with it, both of yours lips together collided as one, he kisses you deeper as he grabs your waist closer to him, you let out a sweet soft moan as he growls when you bit his lips slightly
He grips both of your legs as he carries you smoothly as if you weigh nothing, you wrap your arms around his neck as he kisses you tenderly, your heart melts with his gentleness
He trails his kisses to the nape of your neck as his hands are under the hem of your dress, he breathes you in, he pull down the strap of your dress as you adjust yourself to remove it, your cheeks are flushed as you became shy under his gaze as he drinks you in
His eyes rake all over your body, your curves, your thighs, he takes his robe off quickly as he can, you giggle as he shoots you mischievous grin
"Your face and your body is like been carved by the gods" he breathlessly say as he carefully enters your sopping hole as you winced at the intrusion
The pain is overwhelming but as soon as the pleasure takes over you throw your head back into the cushions
"G-Geta-" you whine as he kisses your jaw, "I know, my love"
My love?, you audibly gasped at that but his moves goes faster and your roll backwards at the sensation forming up in your belly
He pumps in and out of your tight hole as the sinful sounds of body slamming echoed in the room, he kneads your breasts as he goes even more faster
He swallows your moans as he captures your lips again, he can't get enough of you, he wanted to absorb every inch of you
Your jaw falls slack when you grip beneath the sheets, he grips your hips so hard, your nails dig to his back as you scratch it earning a groan from him
You feel completely boneless as he pulls you to him, you shriek at the angle that he could reach inside of you, he opens your legs wider as he helps you to bottom in and out as you sunk down on him, you mewl and writhe as he sucks on your skin finding your sweet spot as you squeal, licking the marks that he made on you with the flat of his tongue
Your legs tremble as your toes curl when you roll your hips to him as he matches your movements, you grind him fast, he praises how he feels so good inside of your velvety walls as you clench around him
You moan loudly when he brings you back to the bed as he start pounding on you, your eyes almost drop to its sockets, when you tried to use your elbows to raise yourself but can't do it anymore as you feel absolutely in the haze, blissfully euphoric in the moment
He brings you over the edge as he stays in the crook of your neck as he continues ruthlessly goes back and forth deliciously coating his member with your juices
You scream as you came undone as you blackout from the orgasm, he kisses every part of your skin leaving no part missed, he breathes out with a lazily smile and when he notices you're not responding, he gently pats your cheek
"Darling?"
That's the first time that he has ever referred you
You hum in response but a pleased smile is now sitting on your lips, your eyes are half way closed, the vision is still blurry and your legs are definitely going to sore first thing in the morning but you don't care, this is fulfilling to you
He sighs in relief, "Are you well?" He says as slowly pulls himself out, you whimper at the emptiness as he devilishly chuckles
"I am, I just need to come back down to earth"
Bells of laughter bursted out from his mouth as you smiled widely at the sound of it
When he calms down, he takes care of you, both of you are still naked under the sheets as he pulls you to his side to wrap his arms around you, he rests your head over his arm as he scooped you closer to him as you sigh in comfort
"Goodnight, my love"
┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈
Your head is nestled to his neck so perfectly made just for you
You feel otherworldly happier
The sunrise hits your eyes as you squint on it, you look up to him, you saw how handsome he truly is, without his makeup during his killing time in the Colosseum
His ginger hair is so unruly but you loved it so much, you smile to yourself
You can't stop yourself as you place a kiss to his lips making his face scrunch as he finally registers what's happening
He smirks, "Well, morning, lass" This time kisses you properly earning a giggle from you
"Morning, my emperor"
His eyes sparkle when you said that, "My emperor, I like it"
Both of you are mirroring each other, smiling so big that it making your cheeks hurt but you didn't mind it
It looks like he is back again, you knew it, you knew it all along
His face became slowly serious as he takes your hand closer to his chest as he peppered it with kisses
"Lass?"
"Hm?"
"I want you to be my-"
"Your eminence? someone here wants to see you"
He rolls his eyes as your smile never faded as you look at the door behind him
"My sweet-"
"You can tell me it later, Geta" you held his cheek as you made a quick peck to his lips
He pouts but he has to stand up and get dressed as you sit up to watch him
Love
Love is so above in the air, both of your heartbeats the same thing
When he looks decent, he's about to leave but he run towards you to give you a big kiss as you squeal as you shove him in the chest as he laughed
He finally lets you go, he walks backwards as he bite his bottom lip
He turns around opens the door and gave you one last look with a smile that you never ever expected to be directed at you
A smile that you never thought you will get to see it again
He gives himself a tight nod as he finally made his mind, he knows what to do with your relationship to him
┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈
"Acacius?"
"Yes, your liege?"
"You have my permission, you can visit your family"
His eyes are watery from the statement but Geta felt the happiness that rushes through him
"I sincerely thank you for accepting my request, your highness" he bows
When he gathered his things, Geta spoke again, he needed to say this to him
"Acacius?"
"Yes?"
"I-I know I'm not the exceptional Emperor but I must say that I am forever indebted to your loyalty, not one single General that stays longer than you, Acacius"
He chuckles heartily at that, "If I may be so bold, sire, can I tell you something?"
"Please do"
"Is she your lady?"
Geta blushes at that as he scratches the back of his neck, "Yes, she is"
"That young woman, my lord, your brother Caracalla, he....snatched her father's life away, she's no royalty but her parents scraped up to give her what they can do, to what they feel seems right for her, so, that's why she's so knowledgeable" he saids with a dismayed expression on his face
It felt like a punch to a gut
"I fear, you didn't know about that" Acacius realizes that Geta's mind is all over the place now
"I-I....good god.....she didn't addressed that to me"
"It's because she loves you so much that she protected you from your brother's schemes"
Geta sat down on his throne with a softened features on his eyes as Acacius made his way over to his side
"She chose kindness over hatred despite what your brother has done to her"
"I-"
He saw your figure hiding behind the pillar, his heart swells at the sight of you being so meek all of the sudden, Acacius followed Geta's eyes as he gestures to welcome you
You shyly came out, "I didn't mean any harm-"
"Tell me, lass, how does my Empress sound?"
Acacius purses his lips as he tries to hide his knowing smirk as he held his hands behind his back
Your mouth slowly drops as you tilt your head at him as you dart your eyes back and forth to him and Acacius, Geta wished you knew how breathtaking you look, you radiating everything that he has ever needed in his life, your eyes screams joy, your lips curled into a sweet smile, you see in his eyes that he wholeheartedly wanted this, and you couldn't convey how elevated you are
But before you could answer, you saw someone aiming an arrow at him, your eyes widen
When it strikes, you pushed Geta away catching the arrow yourself in the scene, he gasps as Acacius manages to dodge the second arrow, he hollers at his troops to capture the man, it's the same man who terrorized you, the voices are blurred to him now, he felt his world crumbled when he saw you laying on the marbled floor with a staggering breath, you feel lightheaded, your blood seeps through your white dress, he drop to his knees as he daintly pulls you to him as he cradles your neck
"Oh, god, no" he didn't even realized that he's crying as you felt the tears falling through your cheek
"Geta-" you choke in your own blood, Geta carries you in his arms as he shushes you, he's making sure that he's not hitting your injured area as he curses at himself
"D-Don't beat yourself up, Geta"
"No, save your strength-"
"I'm sorry, Geta, I didn't wished for this to happen-" you sob as you grimace in pain
"What are you even apologizing for?"
"I didn't meant to replace your ladywife"
"Stop, don't talk like that" he pants as he calls for a healer to fix you
"Don't torture yourself, I don't want you to punish yourself-"
"I-I can't lose you!"
"Geta, don't cry-"
"I would rather be with you than be alone ruling Rome, I want you by my side!"
"I have adored you for eons, Geta" you sniffle as you flash him with a pained smile
"Y-You can't- I love you" Geta himself shocked by his own words as he tries
Your waterline starts to sting as you tried to hold back your tears, the faint tear rolls down to your cheek as he wipes it with his thumb
When he sees your eyes fluttering close, he wails, he panicked bad, really in pure anguish
"N-No-N-No, don't stay with me!"
┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈
He watches as your chest heaves weakily, bloodshot eyes as he can feel them swollen first thing in the morning when he wakes up
He stayed up late, he stayed beside you while you're fast asleep, your face has lost its color of how tender the arrow hit you closer to your chest, Geta has seen so many horrific scenarios all of his life but not like this, every maid and even General Acacius clamoring to save you, it's like the time stopped, it's like the God's cursing at him that he didn't deserve this
Happiness at last until it's not
It's a miracle, the healer says, that somehow it didn't hit a more fatal fracture around your chest, it will heal but surely it will leave a mark on your skin and the process will be longer at how deep the arrow went through you
"What's the point" Geta mutters to himself as he takes a glance at you
"What's the purpose of me living and ruling this empire with Rome around me when I have no one" he punctuates every word with indignant tone as he stood up and puff as he paces across the room
"I have nothing without my lady" he took a look at the sky as if he's talking to the God's
"Me, an bloodthirsty Emperor who is inhumane to his people, I know, what I've done, I will take that regret to my grave, it's unforgivable, the shadow of it will forever follow me, but this?" He points to you and looked back at the sky again said with tears on his eyes, irked but filled with desperation and misery
"I-I was blinded by my sorrow and wrath, I cursed the whole town and blamed the world for the death of my late wife" his voice cracks on every word as he runs a shaky hand over his hair
He looks back at you again and he can't help but breakdown and cry once more
He shakes his head furiously as he gives a pointed look at the sky
"I won't let you take her, you can't take her away from me, not this one, no, I won't allow it, not ever!" He shouts out loud as his voice echoed, he breathes heavily as he squeezes his eyes shut
"Let me have her, please, let me keep her" he pleas as he stare into nowhere
When he hears a faint voice coming from inside, he gets back up to his feet, he did a double take, if he heard it right, when he does he sprinted back to you
He sees you holding out your hand as he happily cries to see you awake, you've slept for so long when it all happened in one day
"M-My darling-"
"Geta, y-you're not blaming yourself, are you?"
"N-No, it doesn't matter anymore"
When you tried to move, you wince as he reminded you, you need to stay still for a while or else you'll bleed again
"Feeling any better?"
"Yes, I am, because you're here"
He sobbed as he kisses your hand as he held it close to his cheek, "Your goodness has never failed to make my heart flutter, my dear, I'm terribly sorry-"
"I love you too"
He stifle a gasp to your words, "You do?" with a hopeful gaze as you smile at him as you move the hair that is closer to his eye
"I do, and I accept your proposal"
He grins widely as he sniffle, you wipe the tears from his eyes, "Don't fret, my love, I'm here"
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Of what?"
"That my brother killed your father?"
You blink rapidly suddenly growing nervous, "I-I don't want you and your brother to argue, I know the both of you wanted to rip off with each other's bones but he is still your brother "
He nods softly, "It will take me time to forgive him then"
"That's all I ever wanted for you, Geta"
"Merciful?" He jokingly said as you amuse yourself
"Yes, but don't worry about that now, what matters is we have each other, I help you with every step of the way"
He tucks your hair behind your ear as he hold your cheek, "I am more prouder to stand before you because I know that you got me"
"Always?"
"Always"
He kisses you tenderly and gently, a kiss with a promise, tomorrow will be different, the phases of your life will change because
You're no longer a servant but a....
An Empress to an Emperor
┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈
☾ an : erm- I think I went overboard lol this was supposed to be a oneshot but it ended up to a longer oneshot fic lmao anyways I just wanted to be detailed and hopefully y'all enjoyed reading this, I got inspired because there's something about a mournful and snappy emperor but has a soft spot for someone that he didn't realized that he loved her! so yeah that's the gist hehe

♡ The Last Safe Space | @dawngyu
w.c - 30k
pairing - idol!beomgyu x fem!soldier reader
synopsis - The world didn’t end with a bang. It ended with a whisper, a deadly virus creeping through the streets, turning the living into something… monstrous.
It was supposed to be a mission. Get in. Get out. Rescue the five a-list boys holed up deep in the city of Seoul. But nothing in this new, broken world is simple anymore.
The dead don’t scare you as much as his starry eyes do—deep brown eyes that make you question if you’re the one who needs saving, after all.
♡ When The Reaper Weeps | @gyu-tori
w.c - 12.4k
pairing - grim reaper!taehyun x fem mortal!reader
synopsis - The afterlife, where death waits in shadow, Taehyun walks the line between humanity and duty, a grim reaper bound by unyielding rules and a heart he has long denied. Cold and distant, he collects souls with precision—until one last wish changes everything.

As the days slip away, Taehyun’s carefully constructed world unravels. Y/N’s determination forces him to confront the emptiness in his existence. When choices arise—between rules, rebellion, and a love neither is prepared for—Taehyun must face the cost of defiance.  
Will he remain the Reaper, bound to his duty, or will he weep for the first time in centuries?

w.c - 15.5k+
pairing - taehyun x reader
synopsis - In the quiet corners of a bustling campus, Taehyun, a once-passionate artist, finds himself at odds with the canvas. Each brushstroke feels heavier, every color muted by the weight of personal battles he keeps locked away. Across the hall lives someone just as adrift— you, a musician whose melodies have grown somber since a breakup that shattered your rhythm and dimmed your spark. Two souls, dulled by life, separated by a thin wall but worlds apart in their own silence.
Fate weaves their paths together in an unassuming art supply room, where their individual searches for solace lead to an unexpected companionship. Amidst the scent of paint and the soft strum of guitar strings, they begin to fill the gaps in each other’s lives without even realizing it. Conversations spark over spilled paints and improvised melodies, and laughter starts to echo where silence once lingered. Slowly, they start to see colors they had forgotten and hear music they thought they'd lost.
And as life begins to take on new hues, they realize that perhaps, just perhaps, love might be worth taking a chance on again.

As she clings to the fleeting moments of their time together, she fights to keep their love alive, knowing that each day could be the last he remembers her.
In a cycle of forgotten smiles and vanished kisses, can love survive when memories are fleeting? Or will the price of holding on to Kai’s love be more than she can be

Hi! I would love to request Eminem fic :)
The reader was popular singer who was gonna perform at Coachella. Eminem knew about the reader and all. After the performance Eminem was saying nice to things to reader. Eminem wanted to ask the reader out, but the reader declined due to rumors of him not wanting to date..? He tried ever single time to ask the reader out ( no smut please) thank you for reading this. I deeply appreciate it. 🥰
Title: 4 Times Eminem Tried to Ask You Out (+1 Time You Finally Said Yes)
Hi lovely! Hopefully this is close to what you wanted? It's pure fluff 😂
Tumblr media
1. Backstage at Coachella
The energy backstage was electric, but you were unfazed. This wasn’t your first Coachella, and you knew how to command a crowd. The lights dimmed as your name was announced, and the crowd roared. You caught a glimpse of him as you passed the VIP area—Eminem, sitting casually with his team, his eyes following you like a spotlight.
Your performance was a hit, and the buzz afterward was palpable. Backstage, you found yourself face-to-face with him, his posture casual but his eyes sharp.
"That was incredible," he said, his voice low and unmistakable. "I’ve been following your stuff for a while. You’re... insane in the best way."
"Thanks," you replied, feeling a little flutter in your chest. "Coming from you, that means a lot."
He shifted his weight, scratching the back of his neck, looking more like Marshall than the persona of Eminem. "Listen, I was wondering if maybe you'd wanna grab a drink sometime. Talk music, life, whatever."
You hesitated. It wasn’t that you didn’t like him—how could you not admire him? But the tabloids had painted a picture of Eminem as a man uninterested in dating. You didn’t want to get tangled in something complicated.
"That’s sweet, but I think I’m good for now," you said with a polite smile. "But thanks for the kind words."
You saw the flicker of disappointment in his expression before he nodded. "Yeah, no problem. I get it."
---
2. An Industry Party
Months later, you bumped into him again at an industry event. The room was buzzing with celebrities, but his presence was magnetic. He approached you with a drink in hand, his smile crooked.
"Hey, superstar," he greeted, his tone playful. "You’re not still mad I didn’t join you on stage at Coachella, right?"
You laughed, shaking your head. "Not mad, but you definitely missed out."
The two of you fell into easy conversation, talking about music, fame, and everything in between. And then, he did it again.
"You know, we should hang out sometime. No pressure, just two artists talking shop."
You gave him an apologetic smile. "I don’t know, Marshall. You’ve got a bit of a reputation."
"What reputation?" he asked, leaning in slightly.
"You know what I mean. The whole 'Eminem doesn’t date' thing."
He frowned, clearly frustrated. "You believe everything you read?"
You shrugged, not wanting to push it further. "Let’s just keep it friendly."
3. A Studio Session
It wasn’t surprising that your paths crossed in the studio. You were both perfectionists, and the best producers wanted to work with you. When you walked into the room and saw him there, you couldn’t help but smirk.
"Do I need to start avoiding studios now?" you teased.
"Or maybe it’s fate," he shot back.
Over the course of the session, you couldn’t deny how easy it was to work with him. He was funny, sharp, and every bit the musical genius you’d expected. When the session ended, he lingered.
"You know," he said, leaning against the doorframe, "I’m not as complicated as people make me out to be. If you gave me a chance, I think you’d see that."
You sighed, hating how genuine he sounded. "Marshall... I just don’t know if it’s a good idea."
"Alright," he said, hands up in surrender. "But I’m not giving up yet."
4. The Late-Night Call
It was nearly midnight when your phone buzzed. You frowned at the screen—Marshall’s name lit up. Against your better judgment, you answered.
"Hey," you said, your voice soft with sleep.
"Sorry if I woke you," he said, his voice quieter than usual. "I just... I wanted to say I get it. Why you’ve been hesitant. I know I don’t have the best track record, and I don’t blame you for being cautious."
His vulnerability caught you off guard. "Marshall..."
"I’m not saying this to pressure you. I just... I want you to know I’m serious. About you. About getting to know you."
For the first time, you didn’t immediately shut him down. "I appreciate that," you said softly. "Maybe we can talk more about this sometime."
+1. The Time You Said Yes
It had been over a year since Coachella. In that time, you and Marshall had become friends. Real friends. He’d stopped asking you out, respecting your boundaries, but his feelings were always just beneath the surface.
You were sitting on his couch, laughing about a terrible reality show you’d been watching, when he said something that caught you off guard.
"You know, I’m really glad we’re friends," he said, his tone sincere.
"Me too," you replied, then hesitated. "But I think... maybe we could try something more."
His head snapped toward you, his expression a mix of shock and hope. "Wait, are you serious?"
You nodded, a small smile tugging at your lips. "I’ve seen enough of the real you to know I was wrong before. If you still want to, that is."
He didn’t hesitate. "I want to. Absolutely."
And this time, you didn’t say no.

giggling and kicking my feet 💕 I loved how this was written, such a fluffy and sweet fic! I don't see very many that are majorly fluffy like this, and it's always so sweet to read!
Ofc my thoughts as I read below the cut ~ I got a little thirsty at the end LMAO
Of all the ways you had been hoping to spend the last few hours of Valentine’s Day, over 30,000 feet in the air next to a snoring man who has never heard of deodorant was at the bottom of your list.
I literally hate flying for this specific reason. I'd buy an entire aisle to avoid this. I don't like being on planes in general, but the people and dealing with the public when everyone is already cranky and irritable is not fun.
Today is your first Valentine’s Day as a couple, and instead of spending it with him, you’re spending it on a commercial flight with dozens of strangers. You can’t help but wonder how many of them are missing their significant other, too.
You know that's true. I've flown around holidays and had flights cancelled, and I wondered how many people would be missing Christmas with their families because of the flight. It's a better perspective to have, instead of just focusing on the negatives, realizing other people are in the same boat you are.
If you’d had it your way, you would have woken up to his face this morning. The two of you would have slept in as late as you desired, and had a slow, lazy morning before cooking him brunch. Waffles, sausage and bacon, scrambled eggs with extra cheese and hot sauce – all of his favorites. You would have taken a stroll through the park before stopping at the bakery that you frequent for doughnuts and coffee, and maybe visited the botanical gardens before your dinner reservations this evening.
Stop this is literally the most perfect day 😭
Valentine’s Day aside, you simply miss him. You’ve been missing him since the moment you left for Nebraska, and you’re more than ready to be back in his arms. This is not the first time you’ve been apart due to work related trips, but this is by far the longest – a whopping seven days.
Nebraska 😭 I will never go back.
You miss the way he wants to keep at least one hand on you throughout the night, the way he talks to Alpine as if she will actually respond, and the way that he hums without even noticing that he’s doing it. All of the seemingly little things that you don’t think much of on a day to day basis, but when you’re apart, make you miss him all the more.
Alpineeee my shaylaaaa 😭💕
Plus, if he had picked you up, it would have ruined your plan to surprise him by stopping by his favorite pizza parlor down the block from your apartment on your way home. Sal’s Pizzeria is always open until midnight, and every year they run specials the entire week of Valentine’s Day on heart-shaped pizzas.
My hometown had a Sal's that just shut down, that's insane. But some places here have heart-shaped pizzas around valentines! I've never had one, but I want to try to this year!
At first, you assume that Bucky is already asleep. But as you walk down the short hallway, you realize there’s soft music playing from somewhere in the apartment. You don't think much of it, since you know that Bucky prefers playing music as opposed to the television for background noise.
What are you up to buck buck...
You stop dead in your tracks when you step into the kitchen. Dozens of tea light candles illuminate the room, placed strategically on the island in the middle of the room. And on the countertops, and the shelves – basically any flat surface twinkles with the delicate flames. You stand frozen as a statue with your mouth agape as you take in the scene before you. In addition to the candles, there’s a spread of food across the island. Plates of delicious smelling pasta, small bowls of soup and glasses of red wine. Tied to the backs of the barstools are red and pink heart-shaped balloons. It looks straight out of a romance movie.
This would make me cry fr. He is so sweet omg.
“Pizza pairs well with pasta, I think,” Bucky's voice breaks you out of your trance. “Can never have too many carbs.” Your gaze snaps over to where he emerges from the den. He wears a bashful smile, and even in the low glow of the candlelight, you can see the faint hint of blush blooming across the apples of his cheeks. He has his hands behind his back, as if trying to conceal something from you. “You did all of this?” You ask lamely. Your voice is barely a whisper and contains a noticeable quiver. “For me?” You can’t wrap your brain around it. No one has ever done anything quite like this for you. All of your ex boyfriends always shrugged off Valentine’s Day, leaving you feeling lucky if you got so much as a card. You’d long ago learned not to expect much of anything. Definitely not anything as intimate and thoughtful as this.
Crying omg. This entire bit is absolutely precious. I love the dynamic and his demeanor sm.
“Who else would it be for? Alpine?” He teases, extending the jar to you. You plop the box onto the counter so that your hands are free to accept the flowers. Upon closer inspection, you realize the bouquet of flowers are not real flowers. Well, yes and no – they’re wildflowers, made of out Legos. You can’t help but giggle, remembering how you had mentioned how cute you think the Lego set is when you saw it while buying some groceries at Target a few weeks ago. You giggle even harder when you picture Bucky assembling all of the tiny pieces of the bouquet with his large, vibranium fingers.
I'm tryinggg to not reblog the entire fic again but it's so hard to contain my thoughts! It's just so thoughtful and special, not plainly and mindlessly picked like roses would be. Which those are fine too, of course, but I like more personalized gifts, ones with thought and meaning behind them like this.
“All I got you is a lousy heart-shaped meat lovers pizza,” you sniffle against his t-shirt and you feel his chest vibrate with laughter. You know that you have the reasonable excuse of being on an assignment in the middle of butt-fuck nowhere Nebraska for the last week, but you still feel bad. “Hey,” he murmurs, using his index finger to tilt your face to look up at him. He grins down at you for a moment before tenderly pressing his lips against yours. You melt into him right away, having missed the feeling of his lips on yours in the week that you’ve been apart. His hands travel to your lower back, pulling you flush against him. Your own hands cradle his face, your thumbs caressing the light dusting of stubble that adorns his cheeks. You can already feel the outline of an erection forming through the thin material of his pajama pants when he pulls away, much to your disappointment. “I love meat lovers pizza,” he assures you with a smirk. “And I love you. The best present you could give me is coming home to me.”
I got something else for you too - AHEM. I want to kiss him so bad, it's not even funny. The gentleness, how he presses his lips against the reader is sooo good. I can feel how tender he is. And y'know...I can only imagine how his tent feels too~
You eat together in the glow of the candlelight, with soft music playing in the background and heavy rain beating down against the windows of your apartment. You talk about everything from the details of your mission to what he did while you were away. The food is delicious, the wine he picked out pairs perfectly, it’s cozy and peaceful and romantic – and you realize that you’re enjoying this so much more than you ever would have enjoyed an upscale steakhouse in downtown Brooklyn.
I love how domestic this feels. Something as simple as sharing a meal and talking, but it's so hard to imagine and see Bucky in a calm, loving setting with his life and whatnot. I always really like it when it's included in fics because it's what he deserves.
He opens the shower door, a cheeky grin spreading across his face as soon as his eyes trail up and down your body. The way he looks at you never fails to make you feel like he’s seeing you naked for the very first time, every time. His hands immediately come to rest on your hips, easing you back against the cool tiling of the shower wall. “God, I missed you,” he sighs as he massages his fingers into the meat of your hips. The contrast of his warm flesh hand and cold vibranium hand on your waist has you arching into his touch.
God you really know how to set a scene. You write things out so well, I can vividly see this happening and I want it 😭
He nudges your legs apart with his knee, inserting one of his large thighs in-between your own. You sink your bare pussy onto the expanse of his muscular thigh, dragging your center across him for friction. He kisses you until you’re breathless, and only pulls away to instead latch his mouth over one of your nipples. He rolls it between his lips and tongue, using his hold on your waist to help move you up and down his thigh. He alternates between each nipple, kissing and sucking on each until they’re pert and pebbled.
YEAH SO, EATING GOOD HERE
He presses a final kiss to the side of your neck before pulling away and smirking down at you. He reaches over to one of the shelves in the shower, grabbing a loofah and your bottle of body wash.
I always forget loofah is spelled that way and it catches me off guard anytime I see the word written out 😂
“I’ll have you know that I showered before you got home,” he says as he squirts a dollop of the gel onto the sponge. “I’m just here for your entertainment – and your convenience, of course. Now turn around.”
He's so cheeky I love it
“You’re really going to tease me like that? On Valentine’s Day, of all days?” “Pretty sure it’s after midnight now,” he quips with a smirk.
Still being a brat but I love him for it
You turn so that you’re out of the direct line of the water, and lower yourself to the shower floor. His cock bobs inches in front of your face. You grasp him in your hand, languidly stroking his length as you stare up at him. “Then I guess you’re lucky that I missed you so much.” He opens his mouth to retort, but snaps it shut with a sharp intake of breath when you wrap your lips around his tip. You swirl your tongue around him, lapping up the beads of pearlescent white that had gathered around his slit. You begin to bob your head, taking more and more of him into your mouth until he hits the back of your throat.
That thing is gonna imprint itself in my throat istg.
Above you, he throws his head back and hisses at the sensation. His metal hand cradles the back of your head, guiding your movements. You gag at the overwhelming fullness, pulling away from him for air. You ease him back into your mouth, setting a steady pace. He rocks his hips forward, meeting your movements with his own. In one hand, you cup his balls, gently massaging the sack. With your free hand, you attempt to relieve the growing ache between your own thighs by rubbing quick circles over your clit. The thrusts of his hips start to grow erratic, and you feel him twitch against your tongue when he suddenly pulls away from you.
This is so hot but I also love his he cups her head like that. I get tired of the grabbing and jerking you around I see constantly. This is much better and sweeter, and I love it.
He wastes no more time, diving into your pussy. His tongue swirls over your clit as he brings one long, metal finger to tease your hole. He nudges it inside as his lips suction around the sensitive bundle of nerves at the top of your folds. Your body goes relaxed, your back sliding down the wet tiling of the shower wall. Bucky helps support you from down below as he sinks his vibranium digit deeper inside you. The coil in your lower belly tightens quickly, pent up from a whole week without his touch. He can always tell when you’re close by the little noises that you make and the way that you tug on the short brown locks of his hair with your fingers. He groans as he licks a thick strip up your slit, sending you over the edge.
Good GOD, girl. I know that metal hand feels soo good up there. His tongue movements and focus are perfect. I love the detail that he knows when she's close, it shows their bond and how tight it is by how familiar Bucky is with her.
Alpine is snoring softly at the foot of your king sized bed, completely oblivious to the fact that you’re even home. Everything is exactly as you left it, from the stack of half finished books on your nightstand to the orange Himalayan salt rock lamp that hasn’t been turned off a single time since the two of you moved into the apartment together. The comfort and familiarity of everything makes you feel all the more grateful to be back home.
Again, another thing I love that you add. These little details that paint the scene are wonderful and it makes the fic feel warm.
“Catch!” He warns before gently tossing it across the bed to you. You catch it, a smile blooming across your face as you sooth your thumb over the velvet material encasing the small box. He walks over to your side of the bed to stand beside you. You raise the lid to box, revealing a dainty gold chain with a capital letter B dangling in the center. You think it’s perfect. It’s isn’t overly ostentatious – it’s the perfect size, and so very you. “Do you like it?” Bucky asks, a hint of nervousness in his voice. “I love it,” you assure him, overwhelmed by how sweet and thoughtful he is. “Help me put it on?”
I want one RN.
“Thank you, baby,” you whisper as you raise up on your feet to press your lips to his. The light flavor of your slick lingers on his lips, sending a fresh wave of arousal through your gut. “So much.” “Of course,” he murmurs against your mouth. “Now lay down. Wanna see how it looks on ya without the towel.”
Move aside...I got this one 😈
Fr such a beautiful, fluffy fic. I loved this one, perfectly soft and tender while being hot with the smutty scenes. Still so, so Bucky. You characterize him so perfectly I am addicted to your writing. Descriptions are always perfect, you add all those little details that I adore, and you know just how to make words feel like home. 💕💕
all's well that ends well to end up with you

Tumblr media
Of all the ways you had been hoping to spend the last few hours of Valentine’s Day, over 30,000 feet in the air next to a snoring man who has never heard of deodorant was at the bottom of your list.
You should have seen it coming from the moment that your two day mission was extended to a three day mission, but you naively held out hope that you’d be able to make it back home in time to salvage the second half of the day.
Getting back early enough to keep the seven o’clock dinner reservations that you’d made for a new, upscale steakhouse in Brooklyn would have been possible if a last minute thunderstorm hadn’t delayed your flight back to New York.
Now it’s already half past seven, and you’ll be lucky if you make it back home before midnight.
Truthfully, you don’t care about the dinner reservations. Sure, you’d heard great things about the food and you had been excited to go, but you could easily reschedule the reservations for another time. The only thing that you were truly bummed about was not getting to spend the day with Bucky.
Today is your first Valentine’s Day as a couple, and instead of spending it with him, you’re spending it on a commercial flight with dozens of strangers. You can’t help but wonder how many of them are missing their significant other, too.
If you’d had it your way, you would have woken up to his face this morning. The two of you would have slept in as late as you desired, and had a slow, lazy morning before cooking him brunch. Waffles, sausage and bacon, scrambled eggs with extra cheese and hot sauce – all of his favorites. You would have taken a stroll through the park before stopping at the bakery that you frequent for doughnuts and coffee, and maybe visited the botanical gardens before your dinner reservations this evening.
Bucky had assured you that it wasn’t a big deal and that the two of you would make up for it when you were back home. He patiently reminded you that life doesn’t take holidays and special occasions into consideration when dishing out things such as extended work trips and inclement weather conditions.
Valentine’s Day aside, you simply miss him. You’ve been missing him since the moment you left for Nebraska, and you’re more than ready to be back in his arms. This is not the first time you’ve been apart due to work related trips, but this is by far the longest – a whopping seven days.
You miss the way he wants to keep at least one hand on you throughout the night, the way he talks to Alpine as if she will actually respond, and the way that he hums without even noticing that he’s doing it. All of the seemingly little things that you don’t think much of on a day to day basis, but when you’re apart, make you miss him all the more.
By the time your flight lands in New York and you catch an Uber back to your apartment, it’s nearly eleven o’clock. Bucky, of course, had offered to pick you up from the airport, but you had insisted that you were okay with getting an Uber, not wanting him to get out so late at night in the heavy rain.
Plus, if he had picked you up, it would have ruined your plan to surprise him by stopping by his favorite pizza parlor down the block from your apartment on your way home. Sal’s Pizzeria is always open until midnight, and every year they run specials the entire week of Valentine’s Day on heart-shaped pizzas.
Knowing Bucky, he’s likely been living off of instant Ramen since you left for your trip, so you figure he’ll be ecstatic over a late night pizza. Not to mention, you’re famished yourself – all you’ve eaten since lunch being the pack of Biscoff cookies you’d been given on the plane.
Lugging your suitcase, a backpack, and the large pizza box, you fumble with your keys before unlocking the door and stepping inside.
At first, you assume that Bucky is already asleep. But as you walk down the short hallway, you realize there’s soft music playing from somewhere in the apartment. You don't think much of it, since you know that Bucky prefers playing music as opposed to the television for background noise.
It’s almost completely dark, minus low orange lighting that trickles into the hallway from the kitchen.
“I’m home, baby,” you call softly as you approach the kitchen’s entryway. “I know it’s late, but I brought you some pizza, if you're hun—”
You stop dead in your tracks when you step into the kitchen. Dozens of tea light candles illuminate the room, placed strategically on the island in the middle of the room. And on the countertops, and the shelves – basically any flat surface twinkles with the delicate flames.
You stand frozen as a statue with your mouth agape as you take in the scene before you. In addition to the candles, there’s a spread of food across the island. Plates of delicious smelling pasta, small bowls of soup and glasses of red wine. Tied to the backs of the barstools are red and pink heart-shaped balloons.
It looks straight out of a romance movie.
“Pizza pairs well with pasta, I think,” Bucky's voice breaks you out of your trance. “Can never have too many carbs.”
Your gaze snaps over to where he emerges from the den. He wears a bashful smile, and even in the low glow of the candlelight, you can see the faint hint of blush blooming across the apples of his cheeks. He has his hands behind his back, as if trying to conceal something from you.
“You did all of this?” You ask lamely. Your voice is barely a whisper and contains a noticeable quiver. “For me?”
You can’t wrap your brain around it. No one has ever done anything quite like this for you. All of your ex boyfriends always shrugged off Valentine’s Day, leaving you feeling lucky if you got so much as a card. You’d long ago learned not to expect much of anything. Definitely not anything as intimate and thoughtful as this.
“Of course for you,” he murmurs with a low chuckle. He saunters over to where you’re still standing with the pizza box clutched in your hands, and pulls what appears to be a bouquet of flowers in a large mason jar out from behind his back.
“Who else would it be for? Alpine?” He teases, extending the jar to you. You plop the box onto the counter so that your hands are free to accept the flowers.
Upon closer inspection, you realize the bouquet of flowers are not real flowers.
Well, yes and no – they’re wildflowers, made of out Legos. You can’t help but giggle, remembering how you had mentioned how cute you think the Lego set is when you saw it while buying some groceries at Target a few weeks ago. You giggle even harder when you picture Bucky assembling all of the tiny pieces of the bouquet with his large, vibranium fingers.
Your eyes begin to well with tears that threaten to spill over. You quickly blink them back, not wanting to show just how emotional the ornate, colorful arrangement of plastic flowers is making you.
Not just the bouquet – all of it. The food and the wine, the balloons, the candles, the forties music playing lowly from the record player in the living room – the sheer amount of time and attention that he put into creating such a romantic display, and all from the comfort of your home.
“They’re perfect,” you murmur, wiping away a stray tear with sleeve of your sweater. You place the mason jar of the plastic flowers in the midst of the spread of food in front of you, making the scene complete.
“It’s all perfect.” He opens his arms to you, and you happily melt into his embrace. He smells of his familiar earthy cologne, and you can’t help but inhale deeply, relishing in the comfort of his scent and warmth.
Even if you’d come home to him passed out in bed, you would’ve been ecstatic to just crawl under the covers beside him. All of this is more than you ever would have hoped for.
“All I got you is a lousy heart-shaped meat lovers pizza,” you sniffle against his t-shirt and you feel his chest vibrate with laughter. You know that you have the reasonable excuse of being on an assignment in the middle of butt-fuck nowhere Nebraska for the last week, but you still feel bad.
“Hey,” he murmurs, using his index finger to tilt your face to look up at him. He grins down at you for a moment before tenderly pressing his lips against yours. You melt into him right away, having missed the feeling of his lips on yours in the week that you’ve been apart.
His hands travel to your lower back, pulling you flush against him. Your own hands cradle his face, your thumbs caressing the light dusting of stubble that adorns his cheeks. You can already feel the outline of an erection forming through the thin material of his pajama pants when he pulls away, much to your disappointment.
“I love meat lovers pizza,” he assures you with a smirk. “And I love you. The best present you could give me is coming home to me.”
“Still. I’m going to make it up to you,” you promise with a feather light kiss to his lips. “I promise. First thing tomorrow, I’m going to—”
You’re cut off by a low rumbling noise that sounds from between your bodies – a reminder that you haven’t eaten a substantial meal in twelve hours now. You glance over to the plates of food on the island beside you, inhaling the delicious aroma of the dishes.
“I made an educated guess that you’d be hungry,” Bucky chuckles. He reluctantly drops his hold on your waist and moves to pull the barstool out for you. You hop up, taking your seat in front of a heaping plate of pasta and a bowl of French onion soup. Your stomach growls again at the sight.
“Did you make all of this?” You ask, unable to hide the surprise in your voice. It’s not that Bucky is a bad cook – he has a few go-to meals that are always excellent, but he normally doesn’t stray too far out of his comfort zone.
“I did not,” he admits with a sigh. He takes a seat directly across from you. “I ordered takeout from the bistro down the street before they closed earlier. Heated it all back up when you texted me that you were almost home.”
“Well, it’s fucking delicious,” you mumble through a mouthful of the creamy pasta.
You eat together in the glow of the candlelight, with soft music playing in the background and heavy rain beating down against the windows of your apartment. You talk about everything from the details of your mission to what he did while you were away. The food is delicious, the wine he picked out pairs perfectly, it’s cozy and peaceful and romantic – and you realize that you’re enjoying this so much more than you ever would have enjoyed an upscale steakhouse in downtown Brooklyn.
You both end up being too full of pasta and soup to eat any of the pizza that you’d brought home, but you’re happy that you’ve got a whole pizza to look forward to having for lunch tomorrow.
“Thank you, baby,” you tell him after swallowing the last sip of your wine. “For all of this. It was more than I could’ve hoped for today.”
He reaches across the counter, grabbing your hand in his own and bringing it to his lips. “Of course,” he murmurs against your skin, eliciting goosebumps down your arm. “As much as I wish we could’ve spent the day together, I still wanted to make the last hour of it as special as possible.”
He stands, releasing your hand as he begins to collect the empty plates and glasses. “You go on and get ready for bed, yeah? I’ll clean up in here.”
“Nonsense. It's almost midnight. These dishes can wait until the morning. Just stick them in the sink and come shower with me.”
You don’t even care if the whole apartment still smells of garlic and French onion soup in the morning – you’ve been showering and sleeping without him for the last week, and it’s still technically Valentine’s Day, so you’ll allow the dirty dishes to sit for the next eight hours.
To your pleasant surprise, he needs no further convincing. He piles the dirty dishes into the kitchen sink and puts the uneaten pizza in the fridge while you get the shower water up to temperature. By the time his pajamas fall to the bathroom floor, you’re already standing under the hot stream of water.
He opens the shower door, a cheeky grin spreading across his face as soon as his eyes trail up and down your body. The way he looks at you never fails to make you feel like he’s seeing you naked for the very first time, every time.
His hands immediately come to rest on your hips, easing you back against the cool tiling of the shower wall. “God, I missed you,” he sighs as he massages his fingers into the meat of your hips. The contrast of his warm flesh hand and cold vibranium hand on your waist has you arching into his touch.
“I can tell,” you giggle, pulling his face down to yours by the back of his neck. His mouth slates over yours, his tongue sweeping along your bottom lip. You part your lips for him right away, more than ready to feel and taste him after all of your time away.
He nudges your legs apart with his knee, inserting one of his large thighs in-between your own. You sink your bare pussy onto the expanse of his muscular thigh, dragging your center across him for friction. He kisses you until you’re breathless, and only pulls away to instead latch his mouth over one of your nipples. He rolls it between his lips and tongue, using his hold on your waist to help move you up and down his thigh. He alternates between each nipple, kissing and sucking on each until they’re pert and pebbled.
His erection gains your attention as it juts against your belly. You reach between your bodies, taking his length in your hand and stroking him with ease, the water from the shower making his skin slick.
You whimper above him, desperate for some release. He laughs, peppering kisses across your breasts and up your neck. You feel him smiling into the column of your throat.
“I think you missed me, too,” he murmurs against your pulse point.
“Maybe,” you admit, your voice etched with impatience. “Why don’t we hurry and get out this shower so I can show you just how much I missed you?”
He presses a final kiss to the side of your neck before pulling away and smirking down at you. He reaches over to one of the shelves in the shower, grabbing a loofah and your bottle of body wash.
“I’ll have you know that I showered before you got home,” he says as he squirts a dollop of the gel onto the sponge. “I’m just here for your entertainment – and your convenience, of course. Now turn around.”
You do as he says, turning around to face the shower wall. You brace yourself against the tiles with your forearms, relaxing as he begins to massage the soap across the tops of your shoulders and down your back.
He takes his time, lazily rubbing the skin of the backs of your thighs before reaching around and doing the same to your stomach and chest. As good as it feels, all you can focus on is the head of his cock nudging against the curve of your ass.
“Bucky.”
The word comes out somewhere between a moan and a warning – a warning that if he doesn’t finish lathering your body in the next two seconds so you can rinse the fuck off, you’re going to take matters into your own hands.
“What is it, baby?” he asks innocently, stepping forward ever so slightly so that his cock inches between the space where your thighs meet your ass.
You turn back to face him, grabbing the loofah out of his hand and tossing it to the opposite end of the shower. The stream of water that beats down against your bodies washes the suds down the drain.
“You’re really going to tease me like that? On Valentine’s Day, of all days?”
“Pretty sure it’s after midnight now,” he quips with a smirk.
You turn so that you’re out of the direct line of the water, and lower yourself to the shower floor. His cock bobs inches in front of your face. You grasp him in your hand, languidly stroking his length as you stare up at him.
“Then I guess you’re lucky that I missed you so much.”
He opens his mouth to retort, but snaps it shut with a sharp intake of breath when you wrap your lips around his tip. You swirl your tongue around him, lapping up the beads of pearlescent white that had gathered around his slit. You begin to bob your head, taking more and more of him into your mouth until he hits the back of your throat.
Above you, he throws his head back and hisses at the sensation. His metal hand cradles the back of your head, guiding your movements. You gag at the overwhelming fullness, pulling away from him for air. You ease him back into your mouth, setting a steady pace. He rocks his hips forward, meeting your movements with his own.
In one hand, you cup his balls, gently massaging the sack. With your free hand, you attempt to relieve the growing ache between your own thighs by rubbing quick circles over your clit. The thrusts of his hips start to grow erratic, and you feel him twitch against your tongue when he suddenly pulls away from you.
“Not gonna cum in your mouth,” he answers when he looks down to see your questioning stare. “Not tonight. Missed you too much.”
He pulls you up by the tops of your arms and eases you back against the shower wall once more. He then takes your place on the floor, kneeling in front of you. He trails kisses along the wet skin of your thighs as he hooks one over his shoulder. He wastes no more time, diving into your pussy. His tongue swirls over your clit as he brings one long, metal finger to tease your hole. He nudges it inside as his lips suction around the sensitive bundle of nerves at the top of your folds.
Your body goes relaxed, your back sliding down the wet tiling of the shower wall. Bucky helps support you from down below as he sinks his vibranium digit deeper inside you.
The coil in your lower belly tightens quickly, pent up from a whole week without his touch. He can always tell when you’re close by the little noises that you make and the way that you tug on the short brown locks of his hair with your fingers.
He groans as he licks a thick strip up your slit, sending you over the edge. Your orgasm washes over you, your cunt clenching around his thick vibranium finger as he sucks your clit until you go still above him.
It's then that it hits you that the water from the shower has started to run cold.
“Come on,” Bucky says, rising as he wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. He turns the faucet off and grabs the two towels that hang over the glass wall of the shower, handing you one before wrapping his around his waist. “Let's get out of here. I’ve got one more gift to give you before we continue this.”
“Another gift? You’ve already done so much. I didn’t even get—”
He gently shushes you with a sly grin, exiting the shower before you can protest any further. You pat your skin dry before securing the towel around your chest and then follow him into your shared bedroom.
Alpine is snoring softly at the foot of your king sized bed, completely oblivious to the fact that you’re even home. Everything is exactly as you left it, from the stack of half finished books on your nightstand to the orange Himalayan salt rock lamp that hasn’t been turned off a single time since the two of you moved into the apartment together. The comfort and familiarity of everything makes you feel all the more grateful to be back home.
You grab a bottle of lotion off of your bedside table and begin lathering it onto the skin of your legs as you watch Bucky rummage through the drawer of his own nightstand. After a moment, he pulls out a small, dark red colored box.
“Catch!” He warns before gently tossing it across the bed to you. You catch it, a smile blooming across your face as you sooth your thumb over the velvet material encasing the small box. He walks over to your side of the bed to stand beside you.
You raise the lid to box, revealing a dainty gold chain with a capital letter B dangling in the center.
You think it’s perfect. It’s isn’t overly ostentatious – it’s the perfect size, and so very you.
“Do you like it?” Bucky asks, a hint of nervousness in his voice.
“I love it,” you assure him, overwhelmed by how sweet and thoughtful he is. “Help me put it on?”
You don’t care that it’s the middle of the night, you want it on you right now.
Bucky takes the box from you, carefully removing the necklace. You turn away from him, letting him drape the delicate chain around your neck. The charm lands just below your clavicle.
“There,” he murmurs as he clasps the chain together. You turn back to face him, letting him see his initial displayed across your chest. “Perfect.”
“Thank you, baby,” you whisper as you raise up on your feet to press your lips to his. The light flavor of your slick lingers on his lips, sending a fresh wave of arousal through your gut. “So much.”
“Of course,” he murmurs against your mouth. “Now lay down. Wanna see how it looks on ya without the towel.”

BIRTHDAY BOY; DEAN WINCHESTER
summary. It’s dean’s birthday, and you know he’s never been celebrated the way he deserves to be.
—Dean being cute.. a baby girl, if you’d like. He’s so sweet in this I’m weeping
a/n. If you’re reading this THANK YOU! thought it was only fair I’d write something since it’s my man’s birthday. He deserves to be celebrated in every lifetime even the one’s where he’s not real. Don’t hesitate to interact with this as much as you can that’d be lovely x Sam and Bellamy imagines are coming soon👀
Tumblr media
You knew it was hard for Dean to admit- well pretty much anything. He didn’t talk about his feelings whether they were physical, in terms of friendships and even worse if it came to a woman.
You knew he loved you- you knew he loved Sam. He didn’t have many people left to love- to be honest. Most were dead- but he’d say that’s just because life’s a bitch.
And maybe he’d be right. Life is a bitch. But this mindset wasn’t a good look on him. You wanted him to feel- to let you in, to just tell you he felt the same way you did even though you knew he did. Everybody knew. You figured it was a matter of time before he’d confess, after all these years of tension, pining, acting like a married couple who bickered every single day over stupid stuff.. he’d get tired of it eventually. He’d want you to be his.
You’d been with the brothers for as long as you remembered. Sure you’d celebrated his birthday by bringing a pie, two to be honest. One for him to eat alone, and the other for you and Sam to share- because baby came first- pie came second- and then you guessed maybe you and Sam came third. At least you hoped you’d made the rank alongside Sam.
But you also knew that he didn’t like being celebrated. He didn’t think he deserved it- and he sure as hell wasn’t used to it. You don’t even think he’s ever had a birthday party thrown for him. Ever.
The bunker was quiet. It was just you, trying not to fall on your face putting up the decorations.
The food was on the table, all ready to be devoured but the two men- you knew they wouldn’t last long and you’d even saved a piece of cake and a piece of pie for you- since you were the reason they were there anyway.
The creak of the bunker’s door startled you, as you jumped from the chair, ready to greet the boys. Sam knew- and was an accomplice. He was supposed to get Dean outside, go to the library to study on some books they apparently didn’t have in the bunker- which took Dean a little bit of time to not call bullshit.
You could hear them descending the stairs as you stood in the middle of the kitchen- frankly looking like a clown. You were excited, although a little bit scared- not of Dean himself- but you didn’t want him to feel obligated. You hoped he wouldn’t hate it.
‘So what do you think? Wendi-’ Dean’s question was cut short when he entered the kitchen and laid eyes on you.
‘Woah. What the hell is this?’ He asked, looking around.
‘You’re the birthday boy, aren’t you?’ You smiled sweetly at him, trying to catch a glimpse of reaction from him.
‘You- this is for me?’ Dean looked starstruck. That wasn’t a usual look on him. You’d never seen him look so- hopeful. His eyes almost glistened as to say thank you for this. He couldn’t believe you’d done this for him.
Sam chuckled as Dean threw a look over his shoulder.
‘You were a part of this? Damn it, Sam.’
Your smile flattered. You thought this was it- he wasn’t happy about it. You were better off just never celebrating the man he was.
You were about to apologize- but he cut you off.
‘You guys are insane, you know that? Thank you. Was that your idea?’ He looked over at you, his eyes still glistening. He looked emotional, you weren’t used to seeing him like this.
‘Yeah. I figured you deserved it. We’ve never done it like this before.. I’m sorry if this is too much.’
Dean stepped closer to you, nodding his head.
‘No. This is great. At least he didn’t blow the surprise.’ Dean snickered throwing a look at Sam.
‘I gotta go change. I’ll leave you two a minute.’ Sam said as he made his way out the kitchen. Before he stepped out of it, he put his thumb up. Encouraging you.
‘Did you do that all by yourself?’ Dean asked- though the answer was obvious- because he and Sam were out, he still couldn’t believe you had.
‘Yeah. I’ve been at it for 2 hours. I wanted the pie to be perfect, you know..’
‘You cooked that?’
‘Yeah. Like I said, I wanted it to be perfect. You always say the one’s we buy at the store are always too soggy. I figured it was your birthday so you should have a good pie.’
His heart skipped a beat. He figured maybe it was time. Time to let go, time to let you in, time to finally have the woman he’d been wanting and dreaming of all these years.
‘You know, if you’re in love with me, you can just say so, sweetheart.’ He didn’t mean it to come out like that. It’s not like he’d ever confessed his love before- this was new. He figured making light of the situation was his way of maybe crawling towards confessing after.
‘You’re an asshole you know that?’ You laughed as you hit his chest and started turning around.
Before your body could turn away from his, he grabbed your arm.
‘I meant it, earlier. Thank you. This is the nicest thing someone’s ever done for me.’ His serious look was back. He felt like he had to get everything out, or he’d burst.
‘You deserve it, Dean. Seriously. It’s not fair that we don’t celebrate birthdays in this life. Everybody deserves to be celebrated. Including you-Especially you.’ Your eyes softened as you decided to look anywhere but in his eyes. He was scary intimidating- you hated that sometimes.
‘I don’t deserve you, you know that? You’ve been putting up with me for way too long. It’s not fair to you.’ Dean’s hand was still on your arm- he was now tracing circles on it. You weren’t sure he even noticed he was doing it.
‘What do you mean? You guys mean the world to me. Of course I’m putting up with you.’ You knew what he meant. You figured maybe this was finally the time he’d tell you how he felt. Knowing it was good. But hearing it was better.
‘I mean- you know what I mean. I know you do.’ He felt like a 15 year old. He was giddy, nervous, felt like his knees were going to give away under his weight. He couldn’t get it out.
‘I do. I want to hear you say it, Dean. Please. I need this.’ You finally found the courage to look at him. His eyes were sweet, they looked at you like you were the most important thing in the world. In his world.
‘Do you remember that hunt we had last month with the vampires?’
‘Yeah. I almost died, of course i do.’
You knew where he was going.
‘Exactly. I almost lost you then. It wasn’t the first time, and it probably won’t be the last. You scared me. And I can’t have that. I can’t lose you, I mean it. I just- I can’t imagine doing this without you. I wouldn’t know how to do it.’ His eyes glistened with more than hope this time. He was truly scared of losing you. He couldn’t imagine a world where you weren’t with him. Where you weren’t his other partner in crime. Where you weren’t answering his questions with questions and sass. He couldn’t have that.
The knot in your stomach tightened.
Hesitantly, you put your hands on each side of his face.
‘I’m not going anywhere, Dean. You know damn well it’s gonna take more than a few vampires to take me out. You’re not getting rid of me. ‘
His left hand positioned itself on top of yours. His other one made its way to your hip.
‘Good. I don’t wanna. You really want me to say it, don’t you?’
‘I do. But I don’t want you to feel pressured. You don’t have to say it, I understand.’ Your eyes still looked in his.
‘No. I know I have to let you in. It scares me, but you’re it. I’ve- I’ve been in love with you since you started tagging along. I can’t believe I was stupid enough to never tell you. It’s just been unspoken since then. I didn’t know how to tell you.’
‘Don’t go soft on me, Dean. Plus, it was obvious. I know you do. I’ve known for a while. It was just hard navigating this without really talking about it, you know? I feel the same. I’m glad you finally told me.’ You smiled at him as his usual smirk found its way to his face again.
‘This is nice. I still can’t believe you threw me a birthday party.’
‘I think there’s still something missing here, birthday boy.’ Your hands moved to be around his neck. His hands now on your waist.
‘Oh yeah? What’s that?’
‘Well, I think you forgot to kiss the girl.’
Dean smiled, and didn’t hesitate to put his lips on yours.
It was sweet. He was sweet. The kiss wasn’t like you imagined it would be. It was slow, like he was taking it all in, like you were fragile and he didn’t want to break you.
He tasted like cigarettes, and mint. His tongue found its way into your mouth, as he hovered over you, your knees going weak.
That’s all you’d ever wanted.
‘Thank god for that damn birthday party.‘

chap 2/2
Chap 2 Punishment
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lyra felt every pair of eyes in the village boring into her as Charles dragged her through the werewolf camp. The place was wild—muddy paths crisscrossed between rows of crude wooden houses, and wolves in their half-shifted forms prowled everywhere. The air reeked of wet fur, blood, and fire.
As soon as they entered, the noise hit her like a wave. Whistles, jeers, and murmurs rippled through the crowd as wolves of all sizes and ages gathered around, shoving each other for a better look.
“Is that… an Elf?”
“Damn it, they’re real!”
“I thought they were a myth, finally I can see them again!”
"Its crazy, no one told me elf had this beautiful figure"
Lyra kept her head high, trying not to let the stares or whispers get to her. Inside, though, her stomach churned. She could feel their curiosity, their hatred, their hunger. It was like being a lamb tossed into a den of wolves.
And at the center of it all was Charles.
The Alpha walked with his chest puffed out, his grip on her wrist firm but casual, like she was nothing more than a prize he’d won. The other werewolves practically worshipped him.
“Charles! You’re a legend!”
“Only you could pull this off, man!”
“An actual Elf? This is insane!”
Charles soaked it all in, flashing a smug grin at the crowd. “Back off,” he barked, though there was no real anger in his tone. “She’s mine.”
Lyra’s stomach twisted. Mine. The word echoed in her head, making her skin crawl.
He dragged her past the crowd, ignoring her weak attempts to pull away, and led her to a small, dark prison near his house. The stone walls were damp, and the single window was barred. He shoved her inside and locked the door, pocketing the key like it was no big deal.
“This is where you’ll stay,” Charles said, leaning against the bars. “Don’t get too comfortable.”
*****
For the next few days, it was pure hell.
Charles came by constantly, asking the same question over and over: “Where’s the Elven forest?”
Lyra didn’t answer. She wouldn’t. No matter what.
When she stayed silent, the punishments came. Days without food, the slaps, the punch, chains that burned her wrists, taunts from the guards who called her weak. But Lyra just bit her lip and kept her head down. She wasn’t going to betray her people.
Charles’s frustration grew with every passing day. He didn’t understand how someone so small, so fragile-looking, could hold out for this long. And yet, there was something about her—her quiet defiance, the fire in her eyes—that made it impossible for him to ignore her.
*****
Then, one night, something unexpected happened.
While Charles was out on patrol, one of the older werewolves—a woman barely older than her—slipped into the prison. She had kind eyes and a nervous energy, glancing over her shoulder as if someone might catch her any second.
“I’m here to help you,” the girl whispered, fumbling with the keys. “I don’t care what the others think. This isn’t right.”
Lyra blinked, unsure if she was dreaming. “Why would you help me?”
“Not all of us want this thing,” the girl said simply. “Now, hurry before someone sees us.”
With the door unlocked, Lyra followed the girl through the shadows of the camp, her heart racing with every step. For the first time in days, she felt a flicker of hope. They reached the edge of the forest, where the faint shimmer of the Elven barrier glowed in the distance.
But just as she was about to cross, a growl froze her in her tracks.
Charles stepped out from the shadows, his eyes glowing like molten gold.
“Well, well,” he said, his voice low and dangerous. “Trying to run, little Elf?”
Lyra’s heart sank. She glanced back at the older werewolf, who looked absolutely terrified, then back at Charles. There was no way out.
Charles’s gaze locked onto her, and for a split second, something flickered in his eyes—betrayal? Disappointment? Whatever it was, it was gone as quickly as it came, replaced by cold, unrelenting fury.
“Did you really think I’d let you go that easily?” he said, grabbing her arm once again.
The hope she’d felt shattered into a million pieces as Charles pulled her back toward the camp, his grip even tighter than before.
“You belong to me,” he growled, his voice a dangerous whisper.
And this time, Lyra wasn’t sure she’d ever escape.
******
Lyra stared at the floor, frustration and fear written all over her face. She shivered, the cold from the floor cutting into her body, scarred skin.
Some might look at the elven girl and feel sorry for her, thinking the beating and being locked away was punishment enough. But Charles? Oh, he didn’t see it that way. To him, that kind of softness was a mistake. Lyra had tried to run—tried to escape him, even with help from one of his people. He make sure the female werewolf who helped her would get what was coming, though not as harshly as this elf. Running was unforgivable, and Charles believed it was only fair to teach her a lesson.
“Relax, little elf,” he said, his voice smooth but unsettling. His hand moved to gently stroke her cheek. “You’re gonna enjoy this.”
"Please don't, I promise I won't run away." Her throat felt dry, she was exhausted.
Lyra was too weak to do anything now as the hand ripped her clothes off, she was completely naked now. Worst of all, she could feel something hard piercing her leg. She just hoped that this werewolf in front of her would finish her off right now. In the meaning of killing her.
Without foreplay, Charles thrust his hips forwards and thrust his big cock into her virgin hole, "NO! HELP!" she cried out
for Lyra, she completely in intense pain now. Without caring about the elf girl's pain, Charles continued to push his penis into the tight hole. The elf girl kept crying and begging him to stop. Never in her life had she thought the man who would take her virginity would be the man from the pack that hunted her.
As Charles continued to thrust his penis more and more in the tight and hot elf girl's hole, he could feel the girl's hole tighten and grip his penis tightly. This sensation made him increase his pleasure and slide it deeper into the girl's body.
Lyra on the other hand continued to sob unwillingly on the creature's neck, she felt it continuously hitting her uterus with a brutal thud.
Charles was now lying fully on top of Lyra, pinning her to the floor. It showed no signs of stopping anytime soon. Lyra wanted to beg for it to stop but she couldn't find the words between her cries and knew it would be useless. Besides, amongst the blinding pain there was something new coming on, a sensation she didn't want to admit. She couldn't deny the pleasure that began to leech through the pain.
Lyra had already reached her climax many times, but Charles still continued to thrust into her over and over again. With her orgasm still fresh, pain replacing pleasure, her cunt felt extremely sensitive from the rough pounding it was taking. She tried to squirm once more but by now she was completely exhausted, too dehydrated to cry out until she finally felt a warm liquid gush from her uterus. Lyra looked up to meet the lustful, depraved eyes of the wolf in front of her.
Charles panted heavily, catching his breath before leaning forward. Without hesitation, he sank his teeth into the elf’s neck—he left his mark. His way of saying, You’re mine now. No running, no hiding.

༊*· Paring- Telemachus x gn!Reader (Fluff!)
༊*· Note- This might be ooc! The fighting scenes might be bad? I asked a friend of mine for ideas on how I should made them fight! The ending was rushed since I just need this done 😭 So this is NOT proofread!
Thanks for all the support on the first post about this work. It means so much to me guys! <3 If you liked this, please read my work about Hermes!
Tumblr media
For you ♡
“Bite little wolf, bite!” Antinous and the other suitors yelled as he continued hitting the prince’s bloodied and bruised body. Telemachus felt weak, unable to defend himself, no one could defend him now. “Strike little wolf, strike!” They continued to yell as Telemachus continued to get harmed, unable to blow back on Antinous… Until the room echoed, a loud hit, straight to Antinous’ face. Telemachus flinched, his eyes flickering open. The figure in front of him… Their hair was all to familiar.. Y/N..?
“You’re so strong until someone ACTUALLY strikes back, aren’t you!” They shout, in between gritted teeth and clenched fists. Athena was slightly taken aback, she had wanted to help the boy… But it seems as if she wasn’t quick enough. Who is this..? “And who do you think you are hm? You’re probably weaker than him, what can you do to 108 men, let alone me. Huh?” Antinous growls, wiping off the slight blood that dripped from his nose. Their figure was small, who were they to be against what he was doing? Don’t they know who he is? Antinous carefully observes the scowl growing larger on their face. “Go on? Or do I have to hit the words out of you like him too?” Telemachus’ eyes widen, he couldn’t let Antinous hit you? Your parents would kill you if they see bruises on your face.
They exhaled the breath they were holding, staring at Antinous back, harder. “I’d like to see you try hit me! Because you can’t..!” A nervous chuckle, they were too confident. This won’t end well for them… But they have to, so they could finally leave Telemachus alone. Another second with silence from both sides, before Antinous’ fist met their chest. So we are doing this then! Great…
“Y/N? Are you okay? I-“ Telemachus placed a shaky hand on their shoulder, why couldn’t they just stay out of this? He could handle himself! “Telemachus, let me go.” Their eyes met with Telemachus, Antinous can’t get away with this now, but they can’t either.. His shaky hand reluctantly left their shoulder, holding his other arm out of worry now.
Antinous took another jab at them, only for them to duck under and swing back at his nose. Oh gods.. They’re really doing this! A sharp pain struck Antinous from the behind, again and again. Antinous’ teeth were practically cracking from how much he was gritting them, why couldn’t he turn around? He wasn’t going to let a measly weakling embarrass him to all the suitors. Antinous finally found the chance, to turn around and strike them now that their fists are tired. The suitor began to pummel them, his blood mixing into theirs.
Oh gods… They need my help! Athena transformed into an owl, instantly pecking at his legs, kicking him with her small feet, if she wasn’t a god this wouldn’t have done much… But.
Thud!
Antinous fell over.. W-what? Y/N glanced over to Telemachus, who was just as clueless as them. However, the two knew it was their chance to run before he got up. Both of them ended up hiding in Telemachus’ room, entering through a passage underneath a statue of Athena by his mother’s room.
Shaky breaths echoed throughout his room, as if it were the only sound in all of Greece. Telemachus looked at them with frustrated eyes, “are you insane?!” He yells, they were seriously bloodied, for a fight they didn’t need to be apart of! “Maybe, maybe I am..! But you don’t think you are either for just letting him hit you? Telemachus he-“ The prince cut them off, “no Y/N. Listen! You’re seriously hurt, but for what reason? You could’ve just walked past!” Tension between the two quickly began to rise, the air was getting thicker.
“You- I-“ Y/N couldn’t even muster up a proper answer, things were going too quickly, and blood was still running down their face, and his too! The soft noise of Telemachus sighing ringed in her ears, like a reminder he was disappointed. “You’re so stupid..” Telemachus exhales whilst pulling them into a tight embrace, their blood staining his chiton. “Let me deal with Antinous myself next time..”
They clenched their fists, next time..? “No! I- I can’t let a ‘next time’ happen…” The prince pulled away, their reluctance was slowly getting to him. But he needed to fix things first before they could argue.
“Stay there..” Telemachus sighs again, walking towards his bathroom in hopes of finding bandages somewhere..? All Y/N could do was stand there, shoulders slumped as they stared down at the woven carpet. Minutes slowly passed, Telemachus was taking his sweet time. Y/N’s blood had by now made a small puddle in his carpet, staining it garnet.Telemachus shortly returned, his own bruises now concealed by bandages. A small first aid kit gently clenched in his hands, the prince looked down at his carpet and only sighed. “Sit on the bed before my entire carpet goes red…” They complied, doing as he said. The two still stayed silent, only hisses and slight seethes that came from Y/N as he cleaned their wounds. “Why’d you even do it..?” He whispers, looking up at their figure before continuing to bandage their hands.
“I know you.. Antinous is a bully, and he’s not a kind man. He needed to be humbled!” The boy let go of their now bandaged hand, slightly crouching to now work on their face whilst he listened. “You shouldn’t tolerate his behavio- Ow.. Easy on my nose..! That hurts like hell..” The more Telemachus pressed the cloth down onto their nose, the more they winced. “You’re not telling me the full truth, come on Y/N. Why did you do it.” Pressure on their nose only intensified as he spoke, “answer me… Please..?” Telemachus looked up, their faces were slightly close, only his hand in between them. Moments passed before they opened their mouth, only to close it again. Y/N sighs, “Telemachus I’m doing this for you… I couldn’t just let him hurt you!” His eyes softened, for him..? Really..? A faint red glow began to creep up onto face, unable to now focus on the cloth he was pressing on their nose. Telemachus’ eyes held contact with theirs as he slightly moved forward. “For me..? You didn’t have to, now look what you did..!” They shakes their head, “I did have to. Antinous was going to hurt you.. It didn’t matter if I was going to be hurt! I’m sorry…” Their eyes slightly glimmer, Telemachus continues to move his head forward. His face now just inches away. “I couldn’t just watch Antinous hurt you.. Even if you can handle yourse-“ The prince’s lips met theirs, his hand that was once on her bloodied nose now on their waist, pulling them closer. He pulled away, a slight pant, “I- I’m so sorry… I didn’t mean to do that!” Telemachus panicked, what if that just changed everything between them? Until, they pulled him closer again. “Gods…” The prince murmured, pulling away again, he felt hazy…
“You seriously need to stop cutting me off…” Y/N whispered, softly chuckling at his flustered face. Their nose had long been dry now, the warm hand that was once on it, now slightly squeezing their waist. “You’re insane.. Very stupid too…” Telemachus frowned, burying his face into their neck. “For you? Maybe I am.”
Thanks for reading! :D

The Destroyer of Men: Declan O' Hara x Reader (NSFW)
Tumblr media
Tagging: @kmc1989
Tumblr media
Declan doesn’t intend to fall in love you. It happens over a series of months while you work alongside each other at Corinium.
The destroyer of men is what Rupert Campbell-Black calls you because it was you that tanked his first marriage with pictures of his numerous affairs.
The best damn private investigator in the country is what Declan calls you after you dig up the truth behind that film star’s sex tape.
Tony hires you exclusively after that, sends you delving into the sordid lives of the rich and famous. Your official job is Research Consultant but they call you The Hound because you have a knack for sniffing out a secret. After all you were the one to learn that Maud was going to leave him, it was you who had run into her outside the solicitor’s office when you were hunting down information on another client.
The divorce should make him bitter, closed off, but it doesn’t because Declan comes to understand he didn’t fail at his marriage, he gave Maud everything he could. It just wasn’t enough, because nothing would ever be enough for Maud. He should have learned that early on especially after the first time she fucked Malhar.
His life, he finds is infinitely better without Maud. There’s no forlorn ghost haunting The Priory with it’s insane moods, driving the family further into debt. His girls are much livelier, much happier especially Taggie who starts to flourish with her catering career without her mother’s cruel words. Every morning he wakes up to a smile on his face, his daughters laughter ringing in his ears as Taggie creates something wonderful and Caitlin reads out the newspaper.
He tells you about it one night when you’re tucked together in his office, going through the information packet on Rupert Campbell-Black, days before his interview.
“I’m the happiest I’ve ever been and that’s because of you.” He whispers as his thumb trails over the apple of your cheek. “Thank you.”
“Well that’s the first time anyone has ever thanked me for ruining their marriage.” You tell him, your lips brushing over the base of his palm as his forehead comes to rest upon yours. “I suppose it did come with some benefits.”
He fucks you that night, your legs spread in front of dressing room mirror, his face buried in the curve of your throat as he watches you take every inch of his cock. Fuck you’re beautiful, a little wild, a little untamed, everything he’s spent entire nights imagining. The noise you make when you come, it’s the most exquisite sound he’s ever heard. His grip on your throat tightens, his eyes locked on yours as he spills his release, hard and deep.
He keeps you spread in front of him, his cum leaking out of you as he kisses a heated trail along your neck until your clenching around him and Declan, he has no choice but to fuck you all over again because you, you make him completely insatiable.
“Come home with me tonight.” He murmurs into your ear, his arms wrapping around you, cradling you close. “My girls are away and I want…”
He wants more than just a fuck in the dressing room, he wants you, all of you.
“Tell me.” You mumble, reaching behind you, your fingers threading through his unruly curls, tugging just enough to make his hips arch, his cock thrusting deep.
“You.” He whispers, his eyes meeting yours once more in the mirror. “I just want you.”

who wants to hear about my weird skin problems. you do 🫵
there are actually many issues with my skin but the one I will be discussing today is the bumps. I don’t know what to call them because so far they have been undiagnosable for two reasons:
I can’t figure out what causes them, and all the scrolling through dermatology images in the world has not helped me to determine what they may be
the window of time between when they appear and when they resolve is just short enough that I’ve never been able to get a doctor to actually look at them, let alone a dermatologist
as for what I mean by “the bumps”, the closest way to describe them is that they really, truly seem to be bug bites. they look and feel exactly like mosquito bites, from the size and color to the itchiness to the way they scab if you scratch them too much. the issue is… they appear overnight. I don’t think mosquitoes are buzzing around in my sheets while I sleep.
okay, bedbugs then! surely these are caused by bedbugs. there are unfortunately (and perhaps fortunately) several issues with this theory, including: in all my searching, I still have yet to find any physical evidence of bedbugs other than the bites; they are intermittent, and my friends have pointed out that if I did happen to have the sneakiest bedbugs in the world, the bites would be constant rather than going away for months at a time just to come back later; and finally, I’ve moved twice and gotten two new sets of sheets since this all started.
maybe, maybe there is a colony of invisible, waste-free bedbugs living inside my mattress who only come out every couple months or so to feed on me. in that case, I kind of respect the grind. however, as I have still not found any physical evidence of them and don’t exactly have new mattress money lying around, that would mean they’re here to stay for a while.
the lack of support for the bed bug theory has led me to consider health causes, especially because I actually have contact dermatitis on other areas of my skin, have broken out in hives before, etc. so I have a history of my skin reacting to either irritants or internal issues! I just have no clue what sort of medical issue could cause these bug bite-like incidences.

Mini Silverborn Countdown
If you’ve been around for a few years, you’ve seen me vaguely mention a “Silverborn Countdown Challenge” several times. It’s been delayed and changed as many times as the book itself, lol.
If anyone wants sort of a low-stakes, very chill and spaced out version of this ye olde never tackled challenge to complete in the next year before Silverborn, I propose what I’m doing:
Every 3 months leading up to the initial release, I am creating one thing based on each of the books.
January — Nevermoor
April — Wundersmith
July — Hollowpox

monthly reminder that it’s ✨ok✨ to not have friends~~~~
#that girl from the first verse though lmaooooooooooooooooo#…yeah. chizuchan’s valid for not liking her tbh.#and that blond guy and his green bowlcut pal for that matter#though. looking at their designs. i gotta wonder which came first: the character designs (in general) or the mvs or the manga#(bc the flashback sequence basically fusion danced this mv and kawaiinoni’s mv into one horrific mess)#(man. chizuchan’s manga really does have the subtlety of an oncoming truck.)#though. that begs the question of w h o came up with chizupapa’s character design bc he sure is just. a guy.#ueueueueeeeeeee i hope chizuparents get featured in an mv soon they’re so sweet and supportive…#in a series where you have ikemen dads like yusuke and pretty (only with makeup on) dads like the longleg… chizupapa is. surprisingly normal#idk i feel like we’ve had lots of time to process chizumama bc we all expected her to look like an older chizuchan#(just like how all mothers in this series seem to resemble their kids tbh. ayako and the narumi sisters. tae and yujiro.)#(akarin and mochizuki daughter. natsuki and the older setoguchi son. and yuko and aizo (to a degree) ig)#(only exception is miou but. idk. maybe serizawa son is reincarnated chiaki or sth idk)#but i digress. anyways i have a need to see chizuparents in full colour that’s all#m. maybe if we get an anime adaptation of this… but… then again… the stuff in the recent chapters are kinda..#so. my latest pitch is this: there should be a song series ([season] session-style) sung by gen 3’s parents.#no one would want it. yet it’d be really funny yk. can we have longleg rap pls#i for one think longleg and chizupapa could spit some real bars together#but uhhhhhhh where was i… um idk. anyway stream chizuchan’s songs and see y’all in jan when vol 2 drops~~~~~~#(provided that they decide to digitally release vol 2 at the same time as the physical release on jan 21 (iirc) anyway. so um. yeah.)#(terrified for ch8 btw i think the preview’s gonna drop in like 2 weeks… man.)#(i hope the inevitable ani.mate bonus manga for vol 2 is wholesome or ridiculous though… just as a palate cleanser for vol 2’s actual chaps)#(can jan 2k25 pls come faster more people n e e d to witness the insanity in these recent chapters)#(cons and cons of reading untled manga from a small fandom is that there’s no one to scream your thoughts at so you’re stuck in d’tags void)#chizuutan chizpost

Kingdom of Ash Chapter 64
Chapter; Highlights
Hours later, Yrene was still shaking.
At the disaster they'd narrowly avoided, at the deaths she'd witnessed before that wave had struck, at the power of the queen on the plain. The power of the prince who had prevented the ensuing steam from boiling alive any caught in its path.
Yrene had thrown herself back into healing during the chaos since. Had left the royals and their commanders to oversee the aftermath, and had returned to the Great Hall. Healers drifted onto the battlefield, searching for those in need of help.
All of them, every single person in the keep or the skies or on the battlefield, kept glancing toward the now-empty gap between two mountain peaks. Toward the flooded, decimated city, and the demarcation line between life and death. Water and debris had destroyed most of Anielle, the former now trickling toward the Silver Lake.
A vision of what would have been left of them, were it not for Aelin Galathynius.
She'd been asked to inspect the queen when she'd been carried in to a private chamber by Prince Rowan, the two of them borne off the plain by Nesryn. Yrene hadn't been able to stop her hands from shaking as she'd hovered them over Aelin's unconscious body.
There had been no sign of harm beyond a few already-healing cuts and slices from the battle itself.
Nothing at all beyond a sleeping, tired woman.
Who held the might of a god within her veins.
Yrene had then inspected Prince Rowan, who looked in far worse shape, a sizable gash snaking down his thigh. But he'd waved her off, claiming he'd come too near a burnout, and just needed to rest as well.
So Yrene had left them, only to tend to another.
To Lorcan, whose injuries ... Yrene had needed to summon Hafiza to help her with some of it. To lend her power, since Yrene's had been so depleted.
The unconscious warrior, who had apparently tumbled right off Farasha as he and Elide had passed through the gates, didn't so much as stir while they worked on him.
That had been hours ago. Days ago, it felt.
Yes, she needed to rest.
But a horn, clear and bright, blared from outside.
Everyone halted-then rushed to the windows. Yrene's smile grew as she, too, found a place to peek out over the battlefield.
To where the rest of the khagan's army, Prince Kashin at its front, marched toward them.
Thank the gods. Everyone in the hall muttered similar words.
From the keep, an answering horn sang its welcome.
Not just one army had been spared here today, Yrene realized as she turned back to the water station. If that wave had reached Kashin.
Lucky. They had all been so, so very lucky.
Yet Yrene wondered how long that luck would last.
If it would see them through the brutal march northward, and to the walls of Orynth itself.
Lorcan let out a low groan as he surfaced from the warm, heavy embrace of darkness.
"You are one lucky bastard."
Too soon. Too damn soon after hovering near death to hear Fenrys's drawl.
Fenrys's smirk was a slash of white.
"You've been out for a day. I drew the short stick and had to look after you."
A lie. For whatever reason, Fenrys had chosen to be here.
Lorcan thumped his head back on the pillow. "Elide." Her name was a rasp on his tongue.
The last he remembered, they'd ridden through the gates, Aelin Galathynius's unholy power spent. Then oblivion had swept in.
"Helping with the healing in the Great Hall," Fenrys said, stretching out his legs before him.
Lorcan closed his eyes, something tight in his chest easing.
"Well, since you're not dead," Fenrys began, but Lorcan was already asleep.
Lorcan awoke later. Hours, days, he didn't know.
The candle was still burning on the narrow windowsill, down to its base. Hours, then.
He didn't care. Not when the dim light revealed the delicate woman lying facedown on the end of his cot, the lower half of her body still on the wooden chair where Fenrys had been. Her arms cradled her head, one outstretched toward him. Reaching for his hand, mere inches from hers.
Elide.
Her dark hair spilled across the blanket, across his shins, veiling much of her face.
Wincing at the lingering ache in his body, Lorcan stretched his arm just enough to touch her fingers. They were cold, their tips so much smaller than his. They contracted, pulling away as she sucked in a sharp, awakening breath.
Lorcan savored every feature as she grimaced at a crick in her neck. But her eyes settled on him. She went still as she found him staring at her, awake and utterly in awe of the woman who had ridden through hell to find him ...
Tired. She looked spent, yet her chin remained unbowed.
Lorcan had no words. He'd given her everything on the back of that horse anyway.
But Elide asked, "How do you feel?" Aching. Exhausted. Yet finding her sitting at his bedside... "Alive," he said, and meant it.
Her face remained unreadable, even as her eyes dipped to his body. The blanket had slid down enough to reveal most of his torso, though it still hid the scarred-over wound in his abdomen. Yet he'd never felt so keenly naked.
It was an effort to keep his breathing steady beneath her sharp-eyed gaze. "Yrene said you would have died, if they hadn't gotten to you when they did."
"I would have died," he said, voice like gravel, "if you hadn't braved hell to find me." Her gaze lifted to his. "I made you a promise."
"So you said."
Was that a hint of color stealing across her pale cheeks? But she didn't balk. "You said some interesting things, too."
Lorcan tried to sit up, but his body gave a burst of pain in protest.
Elide explained, "Yrene warned that though the wounds are healed, some soreness will linger."
Lorcan gritted his teeth around the sharp stab in his back, his stomach. He managed to get onto his elbows, and deemed that progress enough. "It's been a while since I was so gravely injured. I'd forgotten what an inconvenience it is."
A faint smile tugged on her mouth.
His heart halted. The first smile she had given him in months and months. Since that day on the ship, when he'd touched her hand as they'd swayed in their hammocks.
Her smile faded, but the color on her cheeks lingered. "Did you mean it? What you said." He held her stare. Let some inner wall within him come crumbling down. Only for her. For this sharp-eyed, cunning little liar who had slipped through every defense and ironclad rule he'd ever made for himself. He let her see that in his face. Let her see all of it, as no one had ever done before. "Yes."
Her mouth tightened, but not in displeasure.
So Lorcan said softly, "I meant every word." His heart thundered, so wildly it was a wonder she couldn't hear it. "And I will until the day I fade into the Afterworld."
Lorcan didn't breathe as Elide gently reached out her hand. And interlaced their fingers. "I love you," she whispered.
He was glad he was lying down. The words would have knocked him to his knees. Even now, he was half inclined to bow before her, the true owner of his ancient, wicked heart.
"I have loved you," she went on, "from the moment you came to fight for me against Vernon and the ilken." The light in her eyes stole his breath. "And when I heard you were somewhere on that battlefield, the only thing I wanted was to be able to tell you that. It was the only thing that mattered."
Once, he might have scoffed. Declared that far bigger things mattered, in this war especially. And yet the hand grasping his ... He'd never known anything more precious.
Lorcan ran his thumb over the back of her hand. "I am sorry, Elide. For all of it."
"I know," she said softly, and no regret or hurt dimmed her face. Only clear, unwavering calm shone there. The face of the mighty lady she was growing into, and had already become, and who would rule Perranth with wisdom in one hand and compassion in the other.
They stared at each other for minutes. For a blessed eternity.
Then Elide untangled their hands and rose. "I should return to help Yrene."
Lorcan caught her hand again. "Stay."
She arched a dark brow. "I'm only going to the Great Hall."
Lorcan caressed his thumb over the back of her hand once more. "Stay," he breathed.
For a heartbeat, he thought she'd say no, and was prepared to be fine with it, to accept these last few minutes as more of a gift than he'd deserved.
"Say it," she whispered, fingers stilling in his hair. Lorcan opened his eyes, finding her gaze. "I love you."
"Yrene said you might always have this," she said, her hand mercifully falling away.
"Then it will be the scar I treasure most."
Fenrys would laugh until he cried to hear him speak this way, but Lorcan didn't care. To hell with the rest of them.
Another one of those small smiles curved her lips, and Lorcan's hands tightened in the sheets with the effort it took not to taste that smile, to worship it with his own mouth.
But this new, fragile thing humming between them ... He would not risk it for all the world.
Elide, thank the gods, had no such worries.
None at all, it seemed, as she lifted a hand to his cheek and ran her thumb along it. Every breath was an effort of control.
Lorcan held absolutely still as she brought her mouth to his. Brushed her lips across his own.
She pulled back. "Rest, Lorcan. I'll be here again when you wake."
Anything she asked, he'd give her.
Anything at all.
Too shaken by that soft, beautiful kiss to bother with words, he lay back down.
But until then, he wanted her here. Sleeping at his side, where he might watch over her. As she had watched over him.
Elide seemed to read that on his face, and her cheeks reddened further. "Later, then," she breathed, limping to the door.
Lorcan sent a flicker of his power to wrap around her ankle. The limp vanished.
A hand on the knob, she gave him a small, grateful nod. "I missed that."
He heard the unspoken words as she disappeared into the busy hall.
I missed you.
Lorcan allowed himself a rare smile.

see the problem with all of the puzzles in bg3 is like. sometimes the player (me) is stupid. and at least in a real dnd game you might get the dm to take pity on you
#the number of ‘’walkthroughs’’ that i’ve found that don’t actually. help#they tell you the map coordinates or whatever. what about if i cannot physically find what you’re talking about AT THOSE COORDINATES#or cannot figure out how to get to those coordinates (like when i spent three days trying to find karlach)#i’m in hell. actually still having a very hard time getting invested and like. not rly enjoying this game lmao#I AM PLAYING ON EXPLORER MODE AND SOMEONE GOES DOWN IN ALMOST EVERY COMBAT#also just. open world syndrome a little bit#too many quests that apparently i can’t actually move forward in yet. and too much open space#making me feel like. i need to go explore and grind when i just want to finish the quests i already have good lord#idrc about exploring every corner of the map. at this point???#tried going into the mountain pass and it was like ‘hey you’re really low level. reconsider <3’ and im like#literally WHAT is there to do for me here#(it wanted me to go to the underdark. which i figured would progress the story so i was trying to find lae’zel’s crèche while we’re here??)#also on a non gameplay note#inSANE that all of the questlog items for daughter of darkness list her and i having interactions that We Did Not#got to act 2 and she’s like ‘hey i worship shar btw. this is supposed to be a reveal’ but like. the quest log told me that immediately??#was i not supposed to read that?? she never told me that she wanted to join the justiciars. i never gave her the idol.#but it said all of those happened???#maybe i’m biased bc my first save was trying to play as her but it REALLY feels like they’re pushing her to be the main character#like. kinda sucks how she’s the only companion you can check in with and say ‘how do you think we’re doing’#and these fucking controls#why are the items hit boxes so weird. my cursor is a centimeter away and yet it still highlights something#the label isn’t actually next to the thing it’s describing so holding the alt key does nothing to show me where it is#god forbid you try to point at something through an open door#the fucking. camera angles. impossible to see what i’m doing or where i’m going because the trees and walls and shit keep getting in the way#straight up not having a good time#but this was a lot of money and i’ve heard it picks up#when tho#also the fact that i rly like wyll and he’s got like. nothing. id heard he has less content than other origins but#didn’t realize it was to a noticeable extent#maybe it’ll pick up and give him more to talk about once i save his dad. please god

Can Twitter finally just fucking implode I am so sick of hearing about that stupid ass website
#I also just fucking hate it and want it to die anyways#I’ve always hated it due to the insane influence it got in the publishing industry that makes it damn near impossible for some ppl to get#published or involved in the industry at all#like if you’re not on Twitter 24/7 or don’t have the right Twitter connections you literally cannot land a publishing deal el oh el#it was also the shift of so many writers having to do MOST of the marketing for their books rather than the publishing houses#which was ridiculous#like I dunno I literally don’t have the time/energy/socialization or networking skills to try and land an agent via the right fucking tweet#and I think it’s fucking stupid that that was a thing that started happening at all#ppl shouldn’t be pitching fucking books on TWITTER writers shouldn’t have to be public figures on Twitter for the sake of marketing#so I hate that stupid app and want it to fucking die so that new part of the industry goes down with it#like that is actually the main reason for my indescribable rage for Twitter#I hope it dies. and I hope I can stop reading shit about Elon musk for like two fucking minutes#also y’all sound fucking stupid with your ‘Elon is actually THIS dumb’ shit#because like yeah obviously he’s an idiot don’t get me wrong#but he’s not accidentally running Twitter into the ground just because he’s stupid#he’s deliberately trying to kill it because he never wanted to buy in the first place and wants it to become a write off#like yeah he’s still goddamn dumb but he’s NOT doing all this to try and make Twitter profitable el oh el#anyways. I’ll be quiet now y’all are just being annoying about this#kaz rambles
