Another day, another I'll build castles for you, my love (look at me, not my brother) snippet post. And a poll for you guys at the end bcs I'm left uncertain about a scene, ie whether to put it in or not.
I reached 15.5k words on Rosinante's part, and that's not even with all the descriptions I still need to write (collapses). It consists of numerous things: his life at Marineford & meeting Reader, his friendship with his crew, proposal, wedding, married life, his decision to take on the Donquixote Family mission, and the main part of course being his 2 weeks spent with Law & Reader at the house. I'm gonna put 3 snippets here, one for Rosinante x Reader, one for Law & Rosinante, one for Doflamingo x Reader. All of them are mostly dialogue, bcs I really want to show the vibe of the fic without showing too much, and just the difference between the brothers overall.
Writing some of Doflamingo's thoughts really had me: "YOU ARE NOT IN HOLY LAND, IN FACT THERE IS NOTHING HOLY ABOUT YOUR THOUGHTS, SOMEBODY ARREST HIM OMG 😭😭" the only NSFW for now is just Doffy & his thoughts, and honestly, I'm fine with that being the only nsfw part of the fic? I'm just not yet confident enough writing actual smut, but I'll try it for them both cus they both love Reader 😤
Okay, onto the snippets:
Rosinante x Reader
“Rosinante,” you said. “I think you love your brother.”
Rosinante’s fingers paused mid-way in grabbing the empty bowl. You grabbed it instead, while he stared at you, mouth open, frozen in the moment.
You looked at him, and he felt naked. His heart was beating all around his body, and he wondered if he unconsciously put up a Silent bubble around the two of you, because everything felt so quiet, so intimate.
“If you really hate your brother, then I think it’s fine not to be able to forgive him. But, you’re a really kind person, so it looks to me like you love him despite of everything. It’s really admirable.”
“I won’t ever forgive him for abandoning you,” you said, frowning as you continued picking up the dinnerware. “He isn’t my brother, after all. To me, he’s a stranger who hurt the man I love, so I won’t be able to ever forgive him!”
Rosinante felt like his heart would explode; it was beating so fast, the thumping beats incredibly loud, resounding in his ears. He felt hot all over, and he felt himself starting to sweat.
Your expression softened when you looked at him.
“But, you’re different,” you said softly, staring up at him lovingly. You smiled at him, gentle and beautiful. “And I love that about you.”
That was it. Rosinante's body reached its limit after such words. It caught aflame from the inside, his face turning tomato red, steam exploding from his ears as the blush painted his entire face crimson.
Rosinante & Law (get ready for a gut punch)
“You’re not gonna die!” yelled Rosinante.
“Promise!” yelled Law.
“Of course I -” started Rosinante passionately, but Law cut him off.
“No!” yelled Law. He turned his face up toward Rosinante, and Rosinante felt like all the air was punched out of his gut at the sight of Law’s pleading, agonised face, his big grey eyes full of tears. “Promise if it doesn’t work, if the Op-Op Fruit doesn’t heal me, you’ll take me back here! Where I can… be with you and (Y/N)-san!”
Rosinante’s eyes widened, staring at Law.
Law’s trembling, tiny fingers clenched tight onto Rosinante’s pink dress shirt. “Promise that we’ll go to the beach every day, and we’ll have barbeque with your friends together. They’re not like them… they… they feel real.”
Law went on. “Promise we’ll eat meals together at the table, and pick cabbage and tomatoes together!”
Law… thought Rosinante, his eyes filling with tears.
“And when I start dying…” Law’s voice cracked, and he looked down, his fingers gripping tighter on Rosinante’s shirt, “when it starts killing me… I want you and (Y/N)-san to hold my hands!”
Law sobbed, his body trembling with the force of it, his snot clogging his nose.
“I don’t want to die alone!” cried Law desperately, the words coming from the depths of his chest.
Rosinante’s lips trembled, his heart weeping for the boy. His hands reached out, and wrapped around Law, pulling him close.
“Of course, kid. I promise. I promise, Law.”
“You won’t die alone,” said Rosinante, tears sliding down his eyes.
Law bawled into Rosinante’s shirt, clinging to him tight, weeping. Rosinante held him tight, cradling Law's head to his chest, hugging him close to his heart.
Doflamingo x Reader
“Your husband wasn’t a saint.” sneered Doflamingo, brows furrowed.
“Neither are you,” you replied firmly. “You were going to kill him either way, whether he was a traitor or not. Rosi chose how he would die, and it wasn’t for you.”
You continued glaring at the man swathed in the pink feathers.
It was for Law. All for Law. He wanted Law to be healthy, to be free. Rosinante wanted that so much he was willing to abandon the marines themselves, playing a double game with them and Doflamingo, fooling them both, getting the fruit for Law. Never in his life did Rosinante lie to Sengoku - the man was his adopted father, after all.
Except once.
When he told Sengoku he would stay away from the island.
Doflamingo’s smile fell, his mouth settling into a thin line. For a long, tense moment, he didn’t speak.
Doflamingo smirked, his smile curved like the moon.
“Well, I can imagine how much more it must hurt then, that he didn’t live for you.” he said, the cruel words coming out in a tone of nonchalance, folding his long arms behind his head, putting his right leg atop his knee. He tilted his head toward you, still wearing that devilish smile, and said, “He wasn’t even alive long enough to find out you’re pregnant.”
Your stomach hurt. Your heart wept.
Doflamingo didn’t give you time to recover. He went on.
“And where is he now, huh? Your marine hero? Where is my little brother to protect you from me? I’ll tell you where. Bottom of the sea. Do you want to know why I’m here and he isn’t? Because he let the marines brainwash him, made him hate me, and stuck his nose in my business. I welcomed him back with open arms, without any questions asked, and he spat in my face.”
Doflamingo spoke it all with a smile. Soon, that too, was gone. “Do you want to know why I’m the leader of the family?”
“Because I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty. Because I’m not soft like my father, or my brother. Because I don’t let my emotions cloud my judgement. When there’s a problem, I handle it. If my family is threatened, I protect it, no matter what it takes, no matter who I have to kill. The world won’t bend to a fist with no weight, or a good-hearted fool.”
“And that’s why your husband is dead and you’re stuck with me.” Doflamingo sneered, his grin demonic, wide and cruel, filling your vision. “Because he was the weaker one of the two of us.”
****
Okay, so for the poll, I am indecided on whether Law & Doflamingo should meet/interact at the hospital when the baby is born, as both will be present there in that location. I'm of the thought Doflamingo would, as delusional as he is, let Law do as he pleased with the "oh, he's having an indepentant phase, I'll leave him alone and he'll come back to the fold" attitude since Doflamingo doesn't know Law witnessed him killing Rosinante. But then another part of me is thinking Doflamingo might attempt a grab for Law since Law is still 1) not as strong 2) still young and frail-looking (even despite getting a full ass growth spurt from 110 cm to 150-160 cm after healing himself from the Lead Disease)
Taglist: @fanaticsnail @daydreamer-in-training
Oh, and have this pic of how Law & Rosi would be at home with Reader if Rosi survived. (Because if I have to suffer, so do you + this is def how Law looks like in the fic next time Reader sees him after Rosi's death)

it’s so crazy to me that house’s #2 canon character trait other than being an asshole is being needy. like imagine creating a guy and then deciding “yeah he’s an asshole and a walking lawsuit and the single most annoying human being alive. also he needs constant love and attention or else he will explode. also he doesn’t know how to ask for affection nor does he believe he deserves it so he attempts to get it in the worst possible ways and pushes away the people who care about him. also he has a best friend who gives him the love and attention he craves and is the only person he can be truly intimate with without risking rejection. however this does not fix him because his problems lie within his own traumatized psyche and he needs to make the decision to heal by himself.” and then it’s repeatedly and explicitly acknowledged in the story. like bro. can anyone hear me in here

I'm always thinking about Jason because fixation so my judgement is biaised because every song I listen to makes me think about at least one of my Jasons, but here are some songs though were definitely written for and about canon Jason Todd, and I will take no criticism (but you are definitely welcome to add your own songs):
-Take me To War, by The Crane Wives
>"But I keep snapping at Goliath hands with all of my tiny might"/ "All of the fire I swallowed, all of the sparks that went down in my guts, I am always burning out"/ "I'll be the sweetest thing to ever scare you"
The Robin -> Red Hood transition is so seamless
-Little Soldiers by the Crane Wives
> "On the broken back of all the words we spared, Like little soldiers in the trenches; It was a march we made towards ruin and despair, But we held hands all the while"
I always rant about how how Jason's character and story is centered around love, this is the song that plays in my head while I'm yapping
-Blue Lips by Regina Spektor
> "He took a step but then felt tired, He said I'll rest a little while; but when he tried to walk again, he wasn't a child"
If you ever wanna be sad about Jason's resurrection, catatonia and stolen childhood, this is the song to listen to
-The Horrors and The Wild by The Amazing Devil
"Think of all the horrors that I promised I'd bring, I promise they'll sing of every Time you passed your fingers through my hair and called me child, Witness me old man I am the Wild"
> If Under The Red Hood has one song it's this one
-The Old Witch Sleep and The Good Man Grace by The Amazing Devil
"There's a fire burning/And I'm learning to be/So much more than my tiredness/ So much more than that old witch sleep wishes/ She kisses my eyelids, and I/Breathe"
> If Red Hood: Lost Days (minus the gross bits) has one song it's this one
-Elsa's song by The Amazing Devil
>"And you'll throw some sage and lillies/ And roses where I'll rot/ Of all the flowers you picked/I knew you would forget/ Forget-me-nots"
idk who Elsa is this is about how Jason was grieved but he wasn't remembered
(Yeah I'm pretty convinced that at least either Madeline Hyland or Joey Batey read Under the Red Hood so many of their songs fit so well I restrained myself to three but there are so many)
-A Burning Hill by Mitski
>"I'm tired of wanting more, I think I'm finally worn/ For you have a way of promising things/ And I've been a forest fire"
Jason admitting loss and giving up on begging Bruce is something that can be so personal actually
-Heaven Knows by The Pretty Reckless
>"Now you're on your knees with your head hung low/ Big Man tell you where to go/ Tell them it's good, tell them okay/Don't do a goddamn thing they say"
Crime Alley united!!! Also, "tell the big guy I said hello" :))) (the God/Batman amalgam in Death in the Family is such an incredible one-liner and works so well for Jason omg)
-For the Departed by Shayfer James
>"Now I must finished what I started/I'll write a symphony for the departed/And I have no time for second chances/ So I survive on bourbon blood and backward glances"
The amount of angst, dramatics and intense devotion to his cause at the cost of his life, the literature references, everything about this song? Jason at his angstiest for sure
-Goodbye by Bo Burnham
> "If I wake up in a house that's full of smoke I'll panic/So call me up and tell me a joke/ When I'm fully irrelevant and totally broken dammit/ Call me up and tell me a joke /Oh shit/ You're really joking at a time like this"
exploded warehouse parallel aside, this song feels like not being able to heal because you're not capable of asking for what you really need, wanting to come back but feeling like you aren't allowed to because it would ruin you or the you that was shaped by other's perception of you and most importantly, begging to matter and to have mattered. So. Jason.

okay B honey I just got a cat (her names Peony my grans favourite flower) soooooo I was wondering if you could do like a small little thing about Y/n coming back home or whatever and she finds Tom cuddling with the cat which he usually complains about but he/she is curled up on his arm and he's resting his head on them half alseep
thank you baby 💕
Omg Peony is an adorable name! congrats on getting her, ofc I can do this!
You do love her
(all my attention will be back soon and and I'm beginning to write part two to Can't help but miss you but I'm taking time to do some request as I have so many and all you guys have such good ideas!)
∞༺♥༻✧✧༺♥༻∞  ∞༺♥༻✧✧༺♥༻∞ 
warnings- none just cute fluff with Tom!
words- 549
Tumblr media
"yes of course.... look- I'm back home now can I call you tomorrow when I'll be at work and have all the papers and things?... thank you- bye" I sighed cutting the call with one of my clients who called me at exactly 4:59pm, I went to my door pushing the key through and clicking it open and stepping into my apartment, it was a cold day today and I could hear the heaters hum around the house, the tv was on but not loudly but another sound pushed through- snores
I slipped my heals off so I wouldn't wake up Tom, he told me he'd stay home while I went to work to 'keep an eye on the cat' which isn't the first time he's done it but she's not really a kitten anymore. I walked around the corner to find Tom curled up on the sofa resting his head on my cat who lay in his arm fast asleep too, I couldn't stop my heart exploding with cuteness, I ran to my room grabbing the camera and came back snapping a few pictures for my own enjoyment as this cat was usually the bane of Tom's life, every night he slept round (your cats name) would snuggle up to me on the bed meaning he couldn't reach me and if he did she'd hiss at him or when were making food- Tom being the chef himself hates her being within a few centimetres of the kitchen saying "she'll contaminate my cheese on toast Y/n!"
I walked to the back of the sofa, leaning over and pressing a small kiss to his cheek "Tom...I'm home" my hand rubbed down his shoulder making him stir, his brown eyes opened narrowly and a grin came across his face "hi"
"hi" he whispered back pushing his lips out for me to kiss which I didn't hesitate to "how are you?"
"I'm good, long day- you seem nice and cozy with your best friend don't you" I teased seeing the boy look to his arm and sigh "oh I hate this cat- she's so annoying- your cats broken..." I mocked in his voice "sure you hate her?"
"shut up will you, me and (your cats name) have a special bond now and it'll never be tainted" I hummed petting the soft fur covering her body
"so you're stealing my child?" he nodded lifting the cat from his arm to his chest as he lay on his back, the small girl opened her wide green eyes looking at Tom and purring "hey darling girl" I smiled petting her head
"hey no fair she get's darling girl and I just get my name!" the boy groaned "I like you better now darling girl" Tom mimicked petting her
"oh sorry do you want me to treat you like a cat?" he nodded with a dopey smile covering his face "you are such an idiot" I kissed his lips once more before going to change out my work clothes, I kept the door open and herd the small words of Tom
"see she's so mean to me, your the favourite- darling girl, we love her though right? yes we do" he laughed to himself and (your cats name) meows seemed to mean she agreed

Why don't you bring your girlfriend
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Valeria x fem reader
Warnings:fighting,NSFW,fingering
Summery:You forgot to hide something on your neck from your teammate.Veleria has no shame when it comes to you.
Not proofread 😔 maybe tomorrow I'll make changes
Tumblr media
"Did you and Valeria have a good time back their" your teammate said in a teasing voice as their hand pats your back "What" you turn around to face them your whole face was red. "No why do you say that" as you look back though the scope and find a target to shoot "Because you were taking forever over their at reckless railways" they said in a sassy tone with their hand on the rock you guys were behind. "I was getting jumped by a duo that's all" as you came up with a lie in your head "But why didn't you land with me so you wouldn't get jumped" 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙢 came behind you guys.
As you look around to the noise came a bullet though the rock you look at your teammate and they look at you "DON'T LOOK AT ME SHOT AT THEM KILL THEM" your teammate yells at you to do you scan the area you see a car driving towards you guys "RUN TO THE GAS STATION" you got up and you legs started to move it felt like all this was happening in slow motion. Their car crashes into the rock and their was another duo on the other side of the rock they got blasted off to somewhere you took this time to just shoot at the car and hope it will explode.
It did infact explode when you shot it 10 times.
You started to breath in and out as you both stop near the gas station "Let's get in the car and dip more opps might pull up on us" as your teammate start walking towards the van. Pulled the door open and got in the passenger seat well they drive "Where should we go next to get heals" you pull up the map 'hmm we could go to ruined reels for the vending machine' you checkmark it. "Back their was that the duo that jumped you" as their eyes look at you. "Umm ye-s" as your voice broke.
"Why don't you bring your girlfriend next time so she can save you" they said give you the hard side eye you gave them it back "You know what maybe I will" you decided to sassy them back "Oh just telling you next time you should hide that bite mark better so people won't see it next time" 'WHAT' you thought to yourself.
FLASHBACK
You decided to land in reckless railways you went in one of the houses to get loot but someone was waiting for you in the room. Walking up the stairs you open the door "VALERIA" you said loud when you saw her red hair and icon outfit she wears, she put her hand over your mouth "shh you should be quiet darling" as she closed the door behind you. "I knew you would come and see me" she said close to your ear you feel her hot breath it gave you the chills.
"I didn't kno- ah~" you tried to say but was cut of by her left hand slowly going down into your panties she slowly rubs circles on your clit. "You should be quiet darling don't want to get caught do you now" as she snickers at you. You felt her lips on your neck as she slowly kissed down until you felt her mouth sink in to your skin. You don't know what to focus on now you feel her finger go up and down your folds as her thumb plays with your clit you try to hold in your moans but it's so hard to "V-Valeria so go-good" you said so caught up in your pleasure Valeria decides to bit behind your neck her teeth sunk in.
She begins to suck hard.
She slowly puts in her middle finger and her ring slowly sinking in to your cunt she makes a V spreading her finger slowly. You try and move to get more friction from her fingers "Yeah just like that baby" she moves her fingers in and out of your pussy "ah-ahh~ don't st-stop pl-please" you didn't want her to stop-
End of flashback
"Wait like actually" you look at them with wide eyes "Yes" eyes looking back at you.
Tumblr media

I'm so in love with the way you write!! Especially bully!Eddie, he makes me feel all gooey inside<3 can't wait to see what you write next, pretty 🥰✨
hehehe!!! take this!!! (yes i am using this as an opportunity to be self-indulgent AND festive even tho i finished this a little late LOL <3)
(cws: bully!dad!eddie, f!mom!angelface, christmas festivities, gift-giving, teasing, mentions of postpartum healing and a past of poverty living, set 5 years post-babytrapping, fluff.)
Tumblr media
If you thought Eddie wasn't gonna bother getting gifts for your children before he became a father, you would be beyond wrong. He's always been mean, always been rough, but ever since that first Christmas you spent together as a family, he's been the biggest softie you've ever seen for his babies.
Your first one, Elliott, is getting bigger by the day--he's five and still as much of an angel as the day he was born, dark curls exploding all over his head and freckles dusting his nose. Lorien, who just turned four, is a clumsy little guy with his father's eyes and your soft, demure smile. And Trinity is still a bit too small to show much personality yet, but she's giggly and a good sleeper and quite happy for a two-month-old in a chaotic house full of boys. They all get spoiled, but not rotten, lucky for you. Eddie can at least be strict at times and you don't fold easily to those glimmery little eyes when the boys are begging for something they want. But that definitely changes at Christmas, when your husband plays the role of Santa so well you might as well slap a fake beard on his chin and give him a suit to go with his sack of goodies.
However, that same gesture hasn't exactly extended to you. It's not one-sided--you don't really get him much, either--but Eddie's gifts to you in the last five years have been pretty scarce. Your birthday is always a different story and so is his, but with having at least one child each year and that number growing over time, as well as struggling to pay bills and keep the roof over your heads on a single income, presents haven't ever really been a spectacle between you two. Usually it's some chocolate if he can afford it, or simply a kiss and the promise of a date during those couple years where you could barely avoid food, those awful times when you literally scrounged for whatever pennies you could save just to get your children something to open on Christmas morning. All the while watching and feeling a sense of relief at their excitement, all while yours and Eddie's stomachs rumbled with hunger but your boys sat full and satisfied.
But those days of struggling are over, at least for the foreseeable future. This year Eddie's taken over a considerable chunk of the garage as a partner and started doing detail work on the side, and with the success of that as well as the band picking up more and more gigs, you've watched those fears of not being able to provide for your children slowly vanish in your rearview. You even have a job yourself, part-time at the general store where you can chat away with Joyce and have a little time and money to yourself. This is the first year you're actually spending the holidays in a house instead of the trailer, one that you scouted out and Eddie bought, and with all those changes under your belts, you've managed to carve out quite the life for yourself and your little family.
And Eddie's changing, too. You'll never be proud of what you did, you're sure you'll never not feel a little sick at the memory of sabotaging his contraceptives all those years ago. But you've grown and so has Eddie--he's still gruff, and can be a little prickly around the edges when he's in a mood, but your opinion of him definitely changed when you watched him become a parent. And not in the literal sense, just at Elliott's birth. You've watched him become gentle and sweet and learn how to manage himself, you've seen him apply those behaviors to you and you've even gotten some good moments out of him--an apology, for one, and a promise as well.
"I'm never gonna be perfect, I know. But I'll...I'll be the kinda guy a girl like you deserves. I'll be good to you. And....fuck, I mean, I'll try and make it up to you for all that stupid shit. I'll just....I'll find a way, okay? I'll find a way."
That way had been a ring and another baby, the latter of the two being pure coincidence, but he really is making an effort. That much is obvious in the littlest things, like how he waved you off to bed and told you he'd take care of the baby tonight, doing all the feeding and burping and changing and soothing that would usually be shared between the two of you. His only excuse had been that it was Christmas Eve, and he expected a damn good breakfast in the morning for all that last-minute grocery shopping he'd had to do for you the day before. But even as he served you all that indignation and sass, he had cradled your baby girl in his arms as he gave you a kiss, and quietly smiled down at her as he cooed a little lullaby and you snuggled up in your bed to sleep.
"Mommy! It's Christmas, mommy! Wake up!"
When you're finally shaken awake by your boys at eight am sharp, you almost aren't sure where you are, or what day it is--you've been so exhausted taking care of your newborn that you've forgotten what a good night's sleep is. They hop around cheering and grabbing at you to get you up, only calming down enough to lean in for kisses when you bid them a good morning. When you're eventually dragged out of bed by those two excitable little gremlins and stumble half-awake through the hallway, you nearly bump right into your husband as he's carrying your daughter back to her bassinette.
"Mmh....Eds, did you sleep?"
"A little." Somehow, he's grinning, despite it being so early and him sporting bags under his tired eyes. You hadn't been woken up once that you can remember, not even to breastfeed, which would mean that Eddie had been up with Trin for pretty much the whole night in the nursery. Not unusual, but....well, sometimes you forget he can be pretty thoughtful when he feels like it. With a kiss placed on your daughter's head, and another sleepily pressed to Eddie's lips, you rub your eyes and let your sons take each hand to pull you down the steps to go see what Santa left you all. And, as per usual, only half-listening to their father's nagging to slow it down, so you don't go flying!
Fortunately, by the time you're down the stairs and Eddie's on your heels, you've blinked away snough of the sleep that you can stretch and yawn and shake off the tiredness that had kept you so soft and warm in bed. You let the boys take the lead as they hurry into the living room, and when you turn the corner to join them, you're met with quite the unexpected surprise. One that leaves you so pleasantly shocked that even Eddie can't smother his low, soft laughter as he comes up behind you for a kiss to your ear.
Waiting for your boys at the base of the tree are the gifts you and Eddie had wrapped and placed there, making sure to do so later in the night to give your boys a proper taste of that innocent belief in Santa Claus. But Eddie's ploy of staying up with the baby evidently wasn't all for the reasons he had supposed--you can see now that the stockings you had put up over the back of the couch, purely just for decoration, have been stuffed full to bursting with sweets and little toys and trinkets. You've got three of them, one for each child with their names stitched in by Eddie's careful hands, but there's another one that wasn't there last night. Smaller, cuter, but still with a few goodies inside that look like your favourite chocolates peeking out the top and some fuzzy socks. When you turn to look at him, he doesn't even pretend he wasn't looking, although he swerves around you and does pretend to be occupied with soothing your still-sleeping baby.
"Looks like Santa got a lot of work done, huh, boys?" You call out to them while not breaking your locked stare with your husband, arms crossing over your chest as you exchange a few looks that don't feel as innocent as they once were. Eddie winks in that confident way that stirs a heat up in your belly, before he turns and moves to lay your daughter down in the little handmade cradle by the wall that he's left out since the boys were small enough to sleep in it.
"Uh huh! Mama, look! Santa gave you presents!" Lorien calls right back to you, plopped down right next to his brother as they wait on the rug by the tree, practically vibrating with excitement. You quirk an eyebrow, but Eddie hustles over and distracts them by starting up the train of gift-unwrapping, handing each of them their first present with a warm sort of smile that doesn't come around all that often. With their interests piqued and their excited squeals coming out as they tear through the colourful paper, you pull the crib over a few feet to include your little girl in the festivities and take a seat on the couch. You're definitely still on the mend from Trinity's birth, and you don't mind rocking the little wooden cradle as you watch your children laugh and thank mommy, daddy, and Santa for their new toys.
They're such sweet kids, and you don't feel like you're that amazing of a person, so it's really quite the phenomenon that they've turned out to be such respectful and kind little boys. Elliott is so gentle in helping his little brother open the harder to unwrap presents, and they both hold each side of the gifts they got for you and for Eddie as they place them in your laps, giggling and squirming when they get a hail of kisses on their faces as thanks for the little drawings and handmade necklaces. But after most of the pile has diminished, and your sons are thoroughly wiped out from the excitement and looking forward to breakfast, Eddie tilts his head and gestures towards the kitchen.
"Go get a snack, and watch your cartoons in the den until breakfast. Help your brother open his, El."
"Okay, daddy!" With one of their new toys in hand and one last tight, gripping hug on each side for their beloved father, Elliott grabs Lorien's little hand and leads him towards the kitchen, both sets of adult ears tuning in to hear the sounds of them bustling around before they get to the right cupboard, and hustle into the playroom in a fit of giggles to catch their favourite cartoons. Then, and only then, does Eddie drag out those presents that had been hiding around the back of the tree, and drops them carefully in front of you until there's at least six or seven boxes by your feet. It isn't until you pick one up and read the tag on it that you realize it's addressed to you, and with a nervous bite to your lip you look back at your husband without much to say. Is it a prank? He encourages you to open them, and when you pull one of those mid-sized boxes towards you and gingerly lift the top off, you blink away the surprise of seeing a few nice, soft sweaters lying inside. All three are somewhat similar to cashmere if not the real thing, they're in your size, they're in colours you like....but he brushes off your awed thank-yous and just puts another gift in your lap, waiting anxiously for you to open it and find the hair clips and little makeup set inside that you'd been wanting.
"Eddie....really, you didn't have to get me anything. You didn't have to get me this much."
"Oh, shut your mouth, you little goody-goody. Take the damn gifts." He shakes off your gratitude like a wet dog, and shoves the next present into your hands before you can even fawn over the one you've already got. Yet, despite coming off as aggressive as he can be, he's got that smug smirk crawling its way across his lips whenever you seem shocked or excited at what he had bought you. But when the hail of presents is done with, and Christmas morning has officially wrapped up, you feel a sense of guilt as you thumb through the books and the tapes he had got you for the new cassette player you have. While you've definitely gone without any gift exchanging in other years, you did get him some new work gloves and a pic case with the Metallica logo on it this time, but it doesn't seem like it's enough. And he can tell by the way you meekly apologize for your pathetic gift-giving, although he doesn't scoff or poke fun at you like he usually would. He just....looks down at his hands, and fiddles with the string on his plaid sleep pants before he answers you.
"You gave me three kids, and a life, and....and a reason to live. You didn't need to get me anything, and you shouldn't have, cause...." He trails off, and you sit there slack-jawed in awe of what you're hearing, wondering if that's really what you're hearing, because it's so rare for Eddie to be touchy-feely when he's also being lucid about his own behavior. You know he knows how he acts is cruel at times, which is why he's really toned down since you first got pregnant and when you had the boys and Trinity. I'm not gonna be like my father. That's what he had said, and he's kept his word since then. Even so, he slips up at times, but you never would've thought that even with all the progress he's made, he'd do something like this completely out of the blue. Eddie smiles at some thought he's got in his head, and reaches over to clasp his warm, rough hand over yours, and you turn your wrist so you can hold it back and lace your fingers together as your palms touch. "Sometimes, I only got up in the mornings because I knew I'd get to see you. I'd get to bully that dumb smile off your face and make you cry, and I'd feel something."
Maybe it's something in the air, but you feel the courage well up inside you to bring your entwined hands up to your face, and kiss each one of his knuckles so tenderly. Usually that would serve as an oportunity for Eddie to flick your nose or jab at you for being a cheesy, mushy crybaby, but shockingly again he says nothing and just....smiles again. It feels normal. Maybe he's been doing it more recently, and you just haven't noticed.
"Now I got people that depend on me, I....I got people who care whether I live or die. I can work hard day after day, and know that the ones I love will get something out of it. I'm someone's fucking dad. That's crazy." Just as the words come out of his mouth, you hear the squeals and laughter of your boys in the other room, along with the soft gurgling of your precious little girl as she starts waking up. He really isn't wrong, he works incredibly hard to provide and even when he grumbles and complains as he pulls himself out of bed to cover someone's no-show shift, he still comes home with a tired smile to welcome his boys into a hug and waltzes in to kiss you hello. He teases you to no end but he still holds you when you're in pain, he takes your complaints and worries so seriously and never misses a chance to bring you to the clinic or pick up your medicines if that's what you need. And even after twelve, thirteen, or fourteen hour shifts where everything's gone wrong and he just wants to pass out for the whole evening, you still stir awake to get a bleary-eyed look at his bare back as he stands over Trinity's bassinette, soothing and bottle-feeding her late into the night so you won't have to get up.
"You're an amazing father, Eddie." You lean into him, a kiss pressed to his jaw as you hold his hand so closely to your chest, and even with your head resting on his shoulder and his breath hitching when yours puffs against his skin, he still rumbles out a soft bit of mockery to fill the empty space between.
"Shut up. Fucking softie.....I love you."
"I love you too." You kiss his chin this time, and he takes the hint to tilt his head down and capture your lips when you go in for another. He's chapped and warm, he smells of milk and a bit of menthol along with his cologne, and it's the strangest combination but it so encompasses Eddie as he is now. He's the kind of father that would get his children McDonald's and watch them eat with a smile as his stomach rumbled, and he's the kind of husband that would agree to share your meal just to take the most unintrusive bite of your burger and tell you he's full. And he's the type of man that, if you ever fell back on those hard times again, would do it all over and more if it meant making sure that his wife and children were taken care of. And still he asks for nothing, but you know by the way he had stared down at the drawings and that pic case and traced the insignia that he'll treasure those moments forever--he'll always know that he's loved, and that his sacrifices will always mean something to your family, especially when your kids grow up and find those same values within themselves. Hopefully, with your influence included, without any of those feelings of abandonment or turmoil that Eddie's still working at undoing with you as you both grow older.
As you sit there together, cuddling and holding one another with plentiful thumps of your hearts, you squeeze his arm so tight and let him feel how much love tightens around it in a hug. He looks so peaceful, and you just have to take the chance to teasingly throw his favourite words right back at him as he looks so solemn and lost in thought. "You gonna cry, you little baby?"
"Fuck you," He spits back immediately with a grin, turning to look down on you and following it up with an especially passionate kiss. If it weren't for your kids being in the other room, and for Trinity starting to stir in the crib as she yawns, it probably wouldn't have stopped there. But for now it does, and Eddie helps you to your feet as you hug him close one last time before moving to welcome your little girl into your arms, and see what she's feeling like so you can hopefully omit some oncoming discomfort. Clingy as ever, Eddie snakes his arms around you from behind one last time as you hold her, kissing your cheek over your shoulder and gently bopping Trin's little Munson nose before he whispers his plans for breakfast in your ear, and slips away to duck into the kitchen.
"Boys! Breakfast in ten! Bacon, yes or no?"
"Yes!" The two of them shout back to their father from the playroom, and you chuckle to yourself as he pretends to mishear them just to elicit a playful reaction, as they frantically correct their daddy while you spend a little time tending to your newborn. Thankfully she doesn't seem too hungry yet, just a little restless, so you lay her back down in the crib and make a mental note to remind Eddie to bring the whole thing over to the table so you can all eat as a family. For now, though, you find yourself meandering back through the archway to find your husband at the stove, several pans already laid out and a carton of eggs open as he's in the midst of cracking a few and humming. You recognize the tune, One Night in the City, and you find yourself joining in with a softer voice as you come up from behind, and wrap your arms around him to lovingly rub his belly the way he likes. It's kinda sweet how surprised he always is to find that you've remembered things like that about him, and as always, he has to brush it off with a few words so he doesn't have to acknowledge how special it makes him feel.
"You love me, huh? That's embarrassing." Even so, he grazes the hand you've got on his stomach with his own, smiling silently to himself as he cracks another egg into the pan with a sssh as the whites hit the hot steel.

Daddy Frost Giant-Loki
Tumblr media
(This is a Dd/Lg story that I wrote Years ago! I figured I would post it since someone asked for Loki)
Tumblr media
To say I was tired would be an understatement, I was exhausted in every way physically possible, I never imagined being an Avenger would be so draining. Ever since Ultron we don't have as many high priority cases but the ones we have are insane. I had just had the pleasure of meeting Spider-Man for the first time when I helped him stop someone from stealing one of Tony's planes, I was the only one who ever answered the phone to him so I was the only one to help him, much to my boyfriends annoyance.
"Are you okay? You were gone for a very long time Princess." Loki swept me up into his arms and held me almost painfully tight, though I've gotten used to it.
"I'm fine, I promise. Just a few bumps and bruises...and a possible concussion in a plane crash." I cringed back, waiting for him to explode and he looked ready to but stopped, taking a deep breath as we had practiced. Loki isn't allowed on any jobs yet as none of the Avengers trust him and we had mutually decided not to try and force them, they'll get there eventually but until then...house arrest.
"Come let me look you over." He set me on the kitchen counter and did a once over of me with his magic, crinkling his nose up. "You have a concussion and 2 bruised ribs, you really need to be more careful Princess, I don't know what I would do without you." Loki loved me, more than he really did anyone but his mother (and secretly Thor) so he was overly protective sometimes.
"Don't you think you're worrying a little too much?" I giggled and he shook his head, sighing.
"Of course not, I love you, I never want my little princess to be in pain." He tucked my hair behind my ears and kissed me gently.
"I know Daddy, I love you too." I could have sworn I heard someone gasp but ignored it when I saw no one and kissed him again.
"Come darling, lets get you in bed, you need your rest." I nodded, allowing him to do as he pleased, knowing I would not win an argument when I was injured. He lifted me from the counter and carried me upstairs quickly, changing me into my footie pajamas and getting me comfortable in bed after a hot shower.
"Snuggle me Daddy!" I insisted and he grinned, we usually stayed in his room, him loving it really cold which is why I have so many blankets in there, but in my room he usually just slept in his underwear, which I can't say I didn't enjoy.
"Always Princess, you know that. Sleep little one, only then will your body heal itself, I shall use as much of my magic as I can to help." He kissed my head before I burried my face into his chest making him chuckle. "Goodnight Princess, Daddy loves you."
"I love you too-" yawn. "-Daddy." I drifted off contently that night in his arms feeling safer than I've ever been.
~~~~
I sat with Daddy on the couch watching the TV the next day and I couldn't shake the feeling that people were staring at me, namely Tony. "What's wrong Tony?" I asked, never looking away from the movie, though Daddy did, glaring at him.
"What? Nothing, nothing at all...princess." I cringed at the nickname but didn't really pay him any mind until I heard whispering.
"Tony, if you don't stop looking at Y/n I'm going to start thinking you have a crush on her." Steve joked, he never could whisper well, but Tony could, meaning I didn't hear what he said, but it must have been something to make the Captain spit his coffee across the table. "WHAT?!" Tony just nodded but Loki glared harder, noticing I had jumped, not enjoying loud noises all that much. Steve waved awkwardly as Bruce sat down with them with the paper and not a moment later tore it down the middle.
"Okay, what is going on with you guys?!" I exclaimed but they all shook their heads and shrugged.
"Nothing Y/n...anything new with you?" Steve asked and Bruce smacked his arm.
"Leave her alone." He demanded, standing up and leaving the room, confusing me yet again.
"Come along y/n, its clear the idiots are having some kind of meeting." Loki teased, pulling me out and onto the patio where we watched over the edge at the cars for a little while, just talking. "Be careful at the edge Princess, don't fall." His arm was around my waist and I knew me being up this high made him nervous. When he had attacked New York he pushed me off of the building himself and since we had gotten together it had been a problem for him.
"I'm fine Daddy, I promise." He noticed me shiver a few minutes later and knew his body heat (or lack there of) wasn't helping me.
"Let's get you warmed up, I'll make you your favorite hot chocolate." I grinned, beginning to bounce my way inside only to see everyone now crowded around the table. Tony and Steve were still there, Bruce had come back, Hawkeye and Natasha were there as well as Vision, Wanda, and Pietro, Thor was just walking in the front door. They all stared at us and I stepped sideways away from them and towards the kitchen, the glared that is permanent on Loki's face to everyone but me was staring holes into all of them. We were halfway through making the hot chocolate when the kitchen door opened and Loki was lifted into the air.
"Thor No!" Tony shouted but my Daddy was already being crushed.
"Congratulations brother! I am saddened that I am the last to hear of your courtship with Lady Y/n however I am very happy for you!" I was lifted next and felt my back crack as he hugged me.
"Too tight big guy!" I shouted and he eased up, daddy pulling me back into his arms.
"Be careful with her brother, she is sensitive!" I heard Tony snort and everyone looks over at him.
"I've watched the girl get shot, point blank, and not flinch, she is anything but sensitive." The others chuckled as well and I was trying to hide my tears as I tried snapping myself out of my little space that I was so comfortably in.
"Have care how you speak metal man, make her shed another tear and those words will be your last." He growled, pulling me close and kissing my head.
"Can anyone else explain this weirdness?!" Steve shouted and Wanda raised her hand.
"I believe Y/n is a little. Littlespace is a mindset in which an adult regresses into a carefree, responsibility free state of mind. An adult in littlespace often involves a caregiver, someone to engage in activities some may view as childish, some even participate in sexual interactions while in littlespace. I'm going to guess the caregiver in this situation is Loki as you heard her call him Daddy, a very common name for a Dom in this kind of relationship." Everyone was staring at her like she had grown a second head but she shifted behind Vision slightly and I smiled at the action.
"So you like it when she acts like a kid?" Tony asked and Loki scoffed.
"I enjoy caring for her in the most basic of ways, any way she needs."
"So you two are in an actual relationship? This isn't just a kink thing is it?" Natasha asked and I shook my head.
"What is a kink thing?" Loki whispered, Asgard had a lot of different terms for things than we do.
"I'll tell you later, it's not bad. Yes, we are in a relationship, will someone please hand me my coco now?" Daddy smiled and mixed it for me, dropping in 8 tiny marshmallows just how I like it and I swung my legs happily.
"Careful Princess, it's hot." I nodded and once again everyone was looking at us like we were aliens...well me I suppose since my boyfriend technically is.
"And you're okay with this?" Hawkeye asked Thor who was grinning widely.
"Clearly it is more common on Asgard, I am happy to see my brother with someone to take care of. Congratulations, we shall now, as Jane says, double date." I giggled as daddy groaned.
"Very well brother, can we please retire now, I believe my Princess is tired." It wasn't really a question, more of an announcement as he lifted me, careful of my hot chocolate and his iced coffee (he hates hot drinks), and began walking to the stairs.
"Wait, I have more questions...a lot more." Tony shouted and I chuckled.
"Google it Tony, goodnight."
"Your friends are exhausting." He told me, helping me into my pajamas and wrapping me in blankets as we were in his room for the night.
"They're your friends too now Daddy, you know Pietro and Vision are growing on you, you even like Bruce. Others may take longer...Clint for example and for obvious reasons, but don't deny it." He rolled his eyes and admitted defeat as he crawled in next to me, holding me as I sipped my drink, eventually taking it away when I drifted off on his chest, the happiest possible place for me to be.

Tumblr media
The hours passed slowly, you were almost being devoured by the anxiety that was growing in your chest, you watched the clock on the wall anxiously waiting and waiting in frustration. Your foot couldn't stop tapping against the floor, your hands were sweating and your heart was beating so fast it could leap out of your chest at any moment.
You couldn't wait any longer, and gathering all the courage that was left in you, you got up. Without further ado, you put everything you needed in your bag and decide to walk to Camila's house, if you held that secret any longer you could explode for sure.
The way there, despite not being so long, seemed to take forever. You felt a huge tightness in your chest that wouldn't go away for nothing, you were scared... Very scared. You weren't expecting any of this, everything was going as smoothly as planned, the band had released a song that had blown up all over the country, the label had taken them back and Warren looked happier than ever, you loved seeing him like this and you had no idea what this news would do... How it would be received or how you yourself would deal with it.
You take a deep breath staring at your best friend's door, hoping she would be there to help you. You knock on the door, staring at your feet trying to regulate your breathing, you can hear someone's footsteps approaching and soon the doorknob turns opening the door. As soon as you see the brunette the tears you refused to let out, invade your face.
"Y/N darling, what are you doing here so early?" Camila had her hair tied up in a bun, Julia was sleeping peacefully in a crib behind her, she still hadn't looked at you and when she did and saw tears in your eyes, her eyes widened. "Baby what's going on? Come in."
The woman sits you down on the couch in the living room, crouching down in front of you, waiting for you to calm down. She caresses your knees trying to comfort you, trying to understand what had happened.
"Y/N I don't mean to rush you, but you're scaring me." She whispers after a few minutes.
"I'm pregnant Cami." You say and she sighs, in fact it wasn't something she expected.
Camila leaving the floor sits beside you, hugging you tightly, you stayed like that for a long time until you calmed down. She breaks the hug, looking deep into your eyes. She was scared but she knew her feelings didn't compare to yours, there was something different between her situation with Billy and yours with Warren.
Deep down she knew that she and Billy would make it work, she had confidence in their love and in what they had been building for so many years. But between you and Warren everything seemed so uncertain, at least from Camila's point of view, your relationship seemed to be sustained on the sands of a beach prone to strangely unpredictable tides.
And with that in mind, Camila feared what this child could mean, and not only for them on this journey of being parents, but also how this child would deal with this constant instability in their lives.
"And what do you want to do?" She takes your hands, trying to reassure you. "I'm here to help you with any decision."
"I want to keep it." You couldn't stop crying, tears fell down your face involuntarily. "But I'm so scared of what he would think… We never talked about this before."
You feel a lump forming in your throat as you realize the magnitude of the situation. What if Warren doesn't want the baby? What if he leaves you? You had always been so sure of your feelings towards him, but now everything feels uncertain.
You take a deep breath and try to shake off the thoughts that have been haunting you for so long. The gaps in your relationship with Warren seem to be widening with each passing day. It's as if you're standing on the edge of a precipice, staring down at the dark unknown below, and you can't help but wonder if you're about to lose the love of your life.
Those memories of unrequited love come flooding back, reminding you of all the moments that still haunt you to this day. You remember the way he never said he loved you back, or the way he always pushed you away when things got too close. You can't help but wonder if he'll react the same way to this unexpected news, and the thought alone sends shivers down your spine.
You asked Camila for some time to think, you said that you would stay there in the backyard smoking alone and obviously your friend did not invade your space, making it clear that if you needed it, just call.
As you watched the sky, the tightness in your chest increased, you were in front of something so unknown that it scared you, nothing in your moment brought you a firmament, quite the contrary. But at the same time that the tide of insecure thoughts was taking over you, a breach of warm and crystalline waters showed you a little bit of hope.
You would hear Julia's laughter at one time or another, and when you took your eyes to them you could see the little girl laughing and playing with her mother's hair, your heart racing at the thought of your future child, what would it be like to be a mother? What would the face of your great love's creation look like? You thought of the way your baby's hair could be curled like his father's, the thought of having a child like him filled your heart with joy.
You were afraid, but fear was not enough to quell your longing for this baby, the longing you had for a family by Warren's side. You imagined the way he could be a great father, how he would teach the child to play the drums with the greatest pride in the world, how he would be proud of every achievement of the baby. You knew Warren, he was the most eccentric person you knew and you had no other image of him as a father.
After spending a few hours with Camila, you feel a sense of calm wash over you. She tells you about her own experiences with motherhood and how it has changed her life for the better. As you prepare to leave, you feel ready to face Warren and share the news with him, even though the little voice inside your head told you that something was going to change and not in a good way.
As you walk back home to Laurel Canyon, your mind races with excitement and anticipation. You can't wait to tell Warren and start planning your future together as a family. You tried to ignore the butterflies in your stomach that showed your anxiety, but the more you ignored the more they flew and messed with your cognition.
Despite these doubts, you push them away, determined to believe that everything will work out. But little did you know that the night ahead would be one of the most challenging of your life, and that your hopes and dreams for the future would soon come crashing down.
And every time you visited the memories of that day you regretted not listening to that little voice.
One year later
Eddie Roundtree: After she left… Warren was different.
Karen Sirko: He was out of control, at least.
Camila Dunne: I still kept in touch with Y/N for sure! She was my best friend and it wasn't a stupid move by Warren that was going to keep me away from her. But if I'm honest with you he had become someone else when she was gone.
Interviewer: Did you tell him what she told you?
Camila Dunne: *sighs* She asked me not to, I was not in my place to say anything.
Warren Rojas: When she left I... I didn't know what to do, I thought that I would finally have my freedom and that now I could live without owing anyone anything. But her absence left me with more withdrawal than any addict.
Your absence was something nothing and no one could prepare Warren for, he didn't know that losing the woman who was always by his side was going to be so agonizing and torturous, he pretended not to miss you. He hid the frustration that built in his chest every day he woke up and didn't feel you next to him in bed, he tried to ignore the tears that formed every time he remembered the nights you spent hours talking so he could help you with your sleeping problems, he tried to fill the void that your absence left in his chest in all the simple moments of his day, but it was all in vain.
He had lost count of how many women he had been with trying to forget you, imagining that would be what would fill the infinite abyss in his chest. He imagined your lips in place of hers, your hands running through the curly strands of his hair, he imagined your hands providing him that pleasure, nothing compared to having you actually there. Nothing worked, he tried all kinds of things but everyday when he woke up the feeling was still there, like it was taking your place.
As Warren tried to move on from the pain of losing you, he found himself drawn to other women, hoping to fill the void that had been left in his heart. But with every date, every kiss, every attempt at starting something new, he couldn't help but feel like he was betraying the memory of the one person who truly understood him. The only person who made him feel that way, nothing else fit the void you left.
Even though you were no longer together, his heart still belonged to you, and he couldn't shake the feeling that he had made a terrible mistake in letting you go.
It wasn't until you were gone that he realized how much he truly loved you, and now he was left with the regret of his actions and the painful realization that he may never find someone who could fill the void you left behind.
He was laying in bed, the soft sheets crumpled beneath him as he stared up at the ceiling, willing the tears to stop flowing down his face. But the memories of you were too vivid, too overwhelming. He could almost feel the warmth of your body next to his, the way your hand would intertwine with his in the darkness.
He could hear the sound of your laughter echoing in the room, as fresh and joyous as the first time he heard it, he could picture perfectly the way you whimpered under his touch every night when he was making you his, that room held all the most intimate and cherished moments between you two and although he knew that being there was like poke his wound he couldn't leave it behind the only thing that held you - or the memories of you at least - with him.
He remembered the way you would always eat breakfast in the morning together, the smell of the brewing beans filling the room and chasing away the last remnants of sleep. And now, as he lay there alone, he realized that he would never experience those moments again. The pain was like a knife twisting in his chest, sharp and unrelenting, and he needed it to stop. He needed to feel you again, holding you close to him again.
He didn't sleep that night, the cool air from the open window seeping into his bones as he tossed and turned. Despite trying to quiet his thoughts, he couldn't get rid of the image of what he missed so much: a life by your side. A few months after you left, he began to notice that none of the things he achieved or wanted to enjoy were as fun without you there. Little by little, when all the adrenaline from the drugs and shows passed, he felt that tightness in his chest again. And as the months went by, he realized that you were indeed the woman he loved, that he wanted to be close to, that he wanted to call his own and that he wanted to be... And he had let you go.
As soon as he noticed the morning taking over the sky, he got up. The hardwood floors creaked under his feet as he made his way to the kitchen, where the smell of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon lingered in the air. Rojas didn't talk to anyone as he walked through the kitchen, his friends probably noticing the brooding look on his face. He didn't take long to grab the keys to his van and head to Billy and Camila's house. He couldn't do it anymore... He needed to have you back.
As he drove through the streets, he watched the city waking up, the stores opening, people leaving their homes to go to their jobs, families taking their children to school, seniors walking their pets. The world around him was alive and moving forward, but he felt stuck in the past, as if with your departure a pause had held him back in that moment where he was crying, sitting on your bed, staring at your empty closet. The sun was just starting to peek over the horizon, casting a warm glow over everything it touched, but to Rojas, the world was gray and lifeless without you by his side.
Warren knocked desperately on the door without stopping, he didn't think that maybe he could wake up Julia or Billy and Camila, he just urgently needed that address, he needed to know where you were.
"Jeez, I'm going!" He heard Camila's weak voice on the other side of the wooden object.
She opens the door with Julia in her lap, she frowns, wondering why the drummer is at her door so early.
"Warren?" She was interrupted by the drummer entering the house, and as soon as he passed she closed the door. "Is everything okay?"
"No Cami." He answers her in spanish, turning to her with tears in his eyes. "I don't know what to do…"
Camila leaves Júlia in the crib she had in the living room, inviting Warren to sit with her on the couch.
"What's going on?" She asks, concerned in her eyes.
"I need to see her, Cami." Warren looked exhausted, as if all of his energy had drained out of his body. "I can't fucking sleep, I can't eat, I can't do anything without her! I can't stand being away from her anymore…"
"Warren…" She feels her heart ache, he looked really messed up. "You really fucked up."
"I know Cami, I know that I was a fucking asshole and you have no idea how much I regret it." He ran his hands through his hair in frustration.
"She's fine Warren, I don't want you to hurt her again." Camila says sincerely.
"Camila I don't know how to live without her." Warren had tears in his eyes. "Believe me I tried, but every time I tried to be with someone else... I don't know, it felt wrong, like I was cheating on her."
"And why did it take you so long to realize that?" Camila had a calm voice, as if trying to understand if what he said was true.
"Because I'm an idiot, I didn't realize how important she is to me until she left." He confesses, trying to organize the thoughts that have been plaguing him. "I miss her, every detail... The way she loved to talk me to sleep, the way I could tell her about anything she would make it sound interesting, the way she smiled every time I called her doll… I miss the way she would call my name while I-"
Camila stops him. "Okay okay, no need so many details."
"What I mean to say is that I'm empty without her, I can't keep going without her Cami." He played nervously with the rings on his hands.
"I can't Warren, I'm sorry." The brunette said, avoiding looking at him. "It is complicated…"
"I know it's complicated! I'm living this complicated moment since the love of my fucking life left me." Warren exploded in frustration. "Come on Cami, don't you love Billy?" Camila nods slowly, trying to understand what he means. "Then you know what I'm talking about, she's the air I breathe, and you're the only one who can help me."
"Look, she's not the same anymore… Do you understand that?" With every word she said, Warren grew more confused. "I mean that she isn't under the same circumstances as a year ago, she's not alone Warren. And you should know that entering her life again means risking a lot for her."
Warren feels his chest tighten, what he feared maybe was happening, you got over it and were happy without him. He loved seeing that beautiful smile on your face, but he knew he wasn't ready to not be the reason for that smile.
"You mean that…" He doesn't find the courage to say what he was thinking. "Look, I just need to talk to her, and for once be honest about everything. Please Cami."
"I swear to God Warren if you do anything to her, I'll fucking kill you!" She gives him the address. "Please, don't fuck this up"
20 minutes later
You struggled to keep your eyes open, your daughter hadn't let you sleep all night, she was a little sick and was demanding a lot from you. So, after spending a sleepless night next to her, you had just put the baby to sleep when a knock on the door filled the house with noise.
“Fuck, shut up, shut up, shut up,” you muttered to yourself hoping that your baby wouldn’t wake up because of the sound. Once you were down the stairs you said “Coming!” in hopes that whoever it was wouldn’t knock again.
Then you opened the door. Never expecting what your eyes would find, Warren was there looking as tired as you, but probably for different reasons. His hands were in his pockets and he was rocking back and forth nervously, you had imagined this moment many times before but experiencing it was a completely different thing.
For some reason you believed your eyes were deceiving you somehow, you stared at that face you've admired so many times before with curiosity and at the same time reluctance. He opens his mouth to say something but you cut him off.
“Warren?” you asked breathless.
He looked at you with his big puppy eyes, he was a little out of breath from the rush of it all, the nervousness of the whole situation, the rush of going to Camila's house to get here to see you without even processing the information taking over him, now that he finally stopped to breathe.
You hadn’t seen him in a year but he looked the same, the characteristic mustache on his face accentuated his beauty, the curls fell over his face in a relaxed way just as you remembered. He looked like the Warren you loved way back when, the man that made your heart beat faster, the love of your life.
“What are you doing here—” you started but were, characteristically, cut off by the ever impatient man standing in front of you.
“I love you,” he stated, his voice unwavering. His eyes were teary and hearing those words that you've waited so long for so many years was like finally breathing after a swim.
Your surprised look was evident, your racing heart was beating so hard that you felt it would jump out of your chest, the emotion was so strong that words would not come out. Should you believe him?
“Warren, I-” You start to say, your voice shaky evident. "I don't know if it's a great time for this conversation."
You try to ignore the tightness that grows in your chest, avoiding looking into his eyes as much as possible, you knew that if you looked a little longer at that paradise you would surrender. You tried to obey your instincts and close the door in his face, close any loophole that would leave an outlet for him to hurt you or hurt your daughter, but something inside you wouldn't allow it.
Warren slowly approaches you, noticing your hands gripping the door tightly, he brings his hand to yours, touching it gently as if he is gradually noticing how far he can go with you. Feeling his touch on you was like an electric shock, a surge of life in a dead body, it was like a guide to what you called and recognized as home.
Your eyes went to his hand over yours, the lump in your throat grew and the urge to cry came, why did everything have to be so intense with him? You wanted to let him in, that much was obvious, but there was so much at stake…you had gotten used to getting along without him.
"Warren, this is not a good time." You repeat, trying to sound more firm in your decision this time.
He smiles a little, averting his gaze downwards. “Y/N, listen to me, Please…"
Before you could say anything, the cry of your baby girl answered for you. She had woken from the commotion downstairs. The declarations of love, the tension… maybe she knew it was her father. Maybe she knew it was time.
You feel your entire body go cold, your legs weaken and your knees tremble threatening to give out. You close your eyes hoping that this is all a nightmare, obviously it wasn't your little one's fault, but it was surprising how she had chosen the worst moment to cry.
Warren glanced up the stairs where the cry came from and looked back at you in utter shock. People always thought him the airhead of the group but you knew just by looking at him that he caught on immediately what was going on. His face was pale, he seemed to be thinking a thousand things at the same time and he was actually thinking, trying to understand if he had heard correctly, but the continuation of the baby's cry leaves no room for any further doubt.
“Wh- Y/n… When Camila said you weren’t alone, I thought she meant… Well, I thought she meant you were dating someone or married or something, I didn’t think… You have a baby?” Warren thought out loud, it was hard to organize his jumbled thoughts.
You squint in frustration, sighing heavily, you feel trapped. “You have one too. We have one.. a baby, I mean” You responded, ripping off the bandaid once and for all.
For minutes his world changes, it was as if everything around him froze and your words constantly reverberated in his mind, a baby... He had a child. "It 's mine?” Warren asked, still choked with the information.
His eyes seemed to sparkle, and you can't help the smile that breaks out on your face, “She’s yours, yes."
He sighs, feeling and processing everything he had just heard, he had a daughter, and he had spent all this time away from her... His chest tightens at the thought of the lost moments, the consequences of his bad choices.
You observe his frustrated expression, trying to decipher what to do from then on, he already knew everything, nothing fairer than letting him meet his daughter, right? Your wounded heart had the tendency to protect your girl from him, not to let her suffer the same way you suffered through her father's attitudes, but she had to make that choice, not you for her.
“Would you like to meet her?” you ask, opening the door slightly.
“I don’t want to intrude, I mean obviously there’s a reason you didn’t tell me,” He whispered, still shocked by the revelation
“Warren, please. She’s your kid, of course you can meet her,” You answered, deliberately ignoring the fact that you didn’t tell him. You open the door wider and let him in. “Her room is just upstairs.”
Warren flashes a grateful smile, as if he knows he's being given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Stepping on eggshells, he approaches you, entering the house.
You guide him up the stairs, he observes your cozy home, the frames with pictures of you with family members he knew very well, others with friends he had in common with you, others with some people that he didn't know. He stops on a step, looking at a picture of you pregnant, he feels his chest tighten and you just notice him stop out of nowhere, and turns around to understand what happened.
"You look stunning." He says, almost in a whisper.
You look fondly at the image, you never thought to have him looking at it one day. "She didn't want to be born at all, I was about to explode." You say with a laugh, remembering the circumstances in which the photo was taken.
Your belly was huge, you were wearing a flowery dress lying on a sofa, a doll on top of your belly and a genuine smile on your face.
You don't continue the story, you just keep going up the stairs, he accompanies you.
Warren shakily made his way towards you. He was shaking so he grabbed the railing of the stairs, his knuckles going white. You pretended not to notice. Or maybe you just didn’t notice, you had your own nerves to worry about.
Your nerves were a live-wire but you knew it was only an opportunity. You didn’t let him in on the pregnancy, but that didn’t mean he shouldn’t get the choice of being a father to his child. That didn’t mean the baby should grow up without a father entirely. You were wary, of course you were wary, but you had to think for the both of you— rationally.
He had hurt you so much that night, the pain of a broken heart wasn't easy to deal with, and carrying his daughter was a constant reminder of the love that could work. But besides that, your girl had shown you that what you felt for Warren wasn't crazy, that from the beginning back in Pittsburgh things had a purpose because they would lead you here, where you would hold your little girl in your arms for the first time and feel complete.
Giving Warren access to something so protected by you was difficult, you were so afraid of what it would unleash. You stop at her bedroom door, gripping the doorknob with all the strength you have in you, before opening it, you turn to him.
"You know this is a once in a lifetime chance, don't you?" The fear in your eyes was evident, and he understood that. "Please Rojas, don't fuck this up."
He doesn't say anything, and you don't waste any more time, opening the door to the crying baby’s nursery. You didn’t even wait for him to walk in; you went straight to the kid and tried to calm her down. You wanted somewhere to put your arms so Warren couldn’t see you shaking. He wouldn’t have minded but you didn’t care.
You wouldn't let him see you vulnerable, not now.
You nap the little one on your lap and when she finally calms down you notice the man approaching you slowly, as if he didn't know how to deal with this situation. The little girl had her eyes closed, her curly black hair was disheveled, probably due to the nap she just had.
You kiss her forehead, still holding her close to your chest, reassuring the baby in your arms. You take your gaze to the man huddled in the room, indicating with your head for him to approach.
Rojas takes light steps towards you, watching the baby in your lap, feeling his heart racing in his chest. When he finally comes to you and looks at the baby's face he feels complete, she was sleeping peacefully the curls on her head were messy, black strands similar to her father's, her nose was identical to yours and Warren doesn't stop smiling when he notices such a detail, she was the perfect combination of the two of you, the result of what the universe always wanted for you.
“Holy shit,” Warren said, his voice shaky and eyes watery, “She’s so cute. Like little raviolis put together to make a little baby,” he chuckled.
You laughed at that and realized exactly how much you truly missed him. Your laughter fills his ears like a tune from a perfect symphony, he feels the butterflies in his stomach wake up and dance to the effect that someone special is nearby. He's been missing this so much, feeling complete with you by his side.
He takes his gaze to you, it was inevitable, your laughter brought him closer and closer to you. And seeing you laugh while rolling your eyes, he remembered what it was like to feel complete.
“Only you, Warren,” you said, wishing that you could have this with him all the time. You notice his eyes glazed over the baby, and after struggling a lot with the inner voice of wisdom within you, you question. “Do you want to hold her?”
“Is that ok?” he asked in response, his eyes never leaving the little girl.
“Of course it’s ok, silly, she’s your kid,” you reminded him. Carefully, you handed your baby over to her father and watched him melt at the feel of her in his arms. You felt like your knees might give out at the sight of your daughter with him like that— it was just such a tender moment.
“What’s her name?” he asked without looking away from her. You knew every detail of him, you knew he was trying hard not to cry.
The little girl finds the different contact strange, moving in her father's lap, she frowns and you smile with the expressions that this little being was capable of making.
“Liz,” you said. His eyes snapped up to you. "Actually, Elizabeth.” Watching him with her in his arms was an exciting and at the same time triggering scene, you had imagined this moment many times during pregnancy and after her birth, having your thoughts come alive was at least something.
For a while you remained in a soft silence, Warren didn't take his eyes off little Liz as if he memorized every detail of her. You waited for her to sleep, and when she finally did so, you led Rojas to the living room of your house, offering him something to eat.
You felt the silence consume you both, the questions, the anguish, the longing, the yearning all hovered between you as the water boiled for the coffee you made. Warren stared at your every move, your presence was something he wanted so badly he was afraid of doing something to lose it. But silence couldn't remain forever, he waits for you to sit on the couch next to him.
“Doll… Why didn’t you tell me?” He questioned as a tear fell down his cheek.
You sigh, as many times as you thought about this conversation, having it was something else entirely... Everything you thought to say, all the ways you thought to act, slipped from your mind as you looked straight into his eyes.
“The day that I saw you kiss that other girl." You clarify, he nods, embarrassed by the matter. "That was the day I found out, earlier. I couldn’t bring myself to tell you after all I saw."
You thought that after a year it was going to be easier, but the knot that rises in your throat is proof that it wasn't.
Your hands were shaking and when he noticed that he wanted very much to take them in his, to show comfort, but your withdrawal indicated that it was better not.
"We had never talked about kids before, I didn’t know how you’d react. I had just seen the love of my life kissing another woman, I didn't have the courage to tell you. I also didn't want you to think this was my way of keeping you close."
"I would never think that…" he cuts you off, not offended but trying to explain himself somehow.
"But, can you blame me for thinking that Warren?" You laugh wryly, rolling your eyes slightly. "Through all the years we dated you never said you loved me." You shrug, he feels your chest tighten and you continue.
"Of course I didn’t want to do it on my own but I knew I could manage, and I have,” you replied, “I wanted to tell you, I did, but… I don't know, I needed my time.”
“Were you going to tell me?,” he asked, afraid of the answer.
"I was going to, I just didn't know when." You sigh, feeling the surroundings weigh.
There was a beat then— a tension that hung in the air with words both of you wanted to say but only one of you had the courage.
"I know I hurt you a lot." He started to say, your chest tightening as you realized he was going to bring up the subject. "But I would like to redeem myself, I would like to be part of this child's life... Your life."
"She is your daughter, you can certainly be part of her life." You assure him, this certainty brings him comfort, but when he notices that you were not included in that speech, he feels afraid. "I just hope you know that I'm her mother, and that's all, I'm your daughter's mom."
He felt his chest tighten, he knew this was possible, the chances of rejection were high and he was dealing with them now, but it hurt not to have you. It hurts to have failed you so much. He tries to ignore the tears that are reluctant to come out of his eyes, he takes a deep breath, trying not to let his frustrations out on you.
"I love you doll." He says, looking deep into your eyes, the words echo like magic inside you. "And I understand, but I want you to know that I want you as my girlfriend, my wife, my forever."
"Warren, please." Your words came out in a whisper, too many emotions for one day. "Would you mind leaving me alone now? You can come back tomorrow."
He already expected this reaction, and always aiming to respect your space he gets up.
"Of course." You guide him to the door, and before he leaves, he turns around. "I'll be back tomorrow, and I promise you that every day I'll show you that you made a great choice in giving me another chance."
"Have a great night Rojas." You say, closing the door, and as soon as you hear the click of it the tears in your eyes fall. You still loved him, and a lot.
As the door closed, you leaned against it, tears streaming down your face. The weight of the day's emotions crashed over you like a tidal wave, leaving you feeling both relieved and overwhelmed. Part of you wanted to believe Warren's words, to trust that he could change and be the man you had always hoped he would be. But another part of you, the part that had been hurt and betrayed, was hesitant to let him back into your life so easily.
You wiped away your tears, determined to stay strong for your daughter, Liz. She was the most important person in your life now, and you couldn't let your own feelings cloud your judgment. You took a deep breath and walked back into the house upstairs, where Liz was sleeping peacefully in her crib. Gazing at her tiny, innocent face, you knew that everything you did from this point on would be for her.
Over the next few days, Warren kept his promise. He showed up at your doorstep every morning with a bouquet of flowers, a gift for your daughter and a sincere apology. He understood that it would take time to earn back your trust, and he was willing to do whatever it took. Warren didn't just want to be a part of Liz's life; he wanted to be there for you too. He wanted to make things right, to have his family with you.
Slowly, you allowed Warren to become more involved. He spent time with Liz, learning how to change diapers, feed her, and soothe her when she cried. You watched as he held her, his eyes filled with love and tenderness. It warmed your heart to see them together, and you couldn't deny the bond that was forming between them. Watching him become a father was beautiful, he was always willing to learn more and do everything for his daughter, you slowly didn't remember how you had managed all of this without him.
As the days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months, Warren proved himself to be a changed man. He showed up more often at your house, spending the morning with Liz while you got some work done, in the afternoon he helped to organize the house while you took care of the little one, offering to help with chores and cooking. He listened to your concerns and fears, providing a listening ear and words of comfort. Slowly but surely, he was showing himself to be the man you had always wanted him to be.
You never stopped loving him, not even when he broke your heart, the way love works is ironic and funny, you didn't understand and probably never would. From the first time you saw him, you knew your heart was his, and despite your fears about letting him into your life again, it didn't undo the love you had for him. It only made you more cautious, you avoided too much intimacy, you avoided any kind of excessive physical contact, very intimate conversations, you tried to keep him just as the father of your daughter, and that's all.
Warren was your addiction, a potent drug coursing through your veins. Since the age of sixteen, he became your illicit substance, an intoxicating elixir that both exhilarated and devastated you.
Like a drug, he captivated your senses, igniting a fiery craving deep within your soul. His presence was a double-edged sword, a tumultuous blend of euphoria and despair. Just a glimpse of his smile sent waves of ecstasy through you, leaving you craving more, yearning for the high only he could provide.
But with every high came the inevitable crash. The pain of betrayal cut through your heart like a searing withdrawal, leaving you trembling and broken. Yet, even in your shattered state, you couldn't resist the allure of his presence. Like a desperate addict, you found solace in the numbness he brought, an escape from the reality you desperately wished to forget.
You knew you had to protect yourself, to guard your heart from the dangerous allure of his touch. You constructed walls, built barriers around your emotions, and numbed yourself to his effect. Yet, the more you tried to resist, the more his influence seeped into your veins, overpowering your defenses.
His constant presence became a merciless temptation, testing your resolve with every passing day. The longing within you grew stronger, pulling you back into the abyss of emotions you fought so hard to suppress. It was a dangerous dance, a relentless struggle between the desire to indulge and the need to break free.
Just as a drug addict battles against the chains of addiction, you battled against your own yearning for Warren. You knew the pull he had on you was both your downfall and your weakness. And yet, despite the turmoil he caused, you couldn't deny the undeniable truth: you were still madly, deeply in love with him.
Liz had already slept for a few hours, the clock said two in the morning and you and Warren shared a grapevine in the living room while talking about anything. Matters go, matters come and soon you're talking about your old relationship and the day he showed up at your door after a year.
"What did you come to do here, huh?" You question, your words scrambled by alcohol.
"Didn't I make it clear that day, doll?" He asks, a smile playing on his lips.
"You said you loved me." You said laughing, and killing the rest of the liquid in your glass. "Don't ever call me a doll again!" You exclaim awkwardly, now that you've processed the sentence he's just said.
He looks down, lying down better in the armchair in front of you, how the fuck could he be so handsome?
"You used to like the nickname." He says, shrugging, instantly regretting it when he sees your withering gaze on him. "I'm sorry, is that... I got used to it, but if it bothers you."
You interrupt him, your senses being stunned by the liquor. "It bothers me precisely because of that, because I fucking love it."
Rojas feels his body surrender, he wanted you so much. "Y/N listen…"
Still under the influence of the drink, or so you prefer to believe, you interrupted him again. “One thing has been on my mind since the day you knocked on that fucking door." You say pointing to the wooden object. The drummer watches you closely “Warren, you came here to tell me you loved me. I need to know that you mean it—”
Warren gets up from where he was sitting, he approaches you, kneeling in front of you to show himself more intimate with you in some way. “I do, of course I do!”
"You know Rojas, I've loved you since I was sixteen years old." You sigh, trying to hold back the tears in your eyes. "When I met you, I knew that I had no escape... My heart was already yours, and I never demanded that you love me the same way, I think I was always very innocent dreaming of the day that you'd finally tell me those words…"
He watched you intently, feeling his heart sink, he let you continue, so you do.
"I never expected you to love me the way I love you." Hearing the words in the present tense he held himself back from smiling, you still loved him. "I just think I hoped you had at least enough affection for me to respect me."
He knew you were talking about that night, he condemned himself so much for his wrong, childish and extremely rash actions. "I guess what I'm trying to say is, I know you've been a wonderful father to her over the last few months, and I know you love her." You settle down on the couch, staring into his eyes after so long, he feels exposed, vulnerable.
"But I've waited a long time to hear this." You say, looking down at your lap you see a drop of water fall and only then do you realize you've been crying. "If you love me, I need you to know how important these words are to me."
He observed you intently, his love for you palpable in his gaze. He had experienced the emptiness that came with your absence, realizing that living without you was an impossible feat. With a tender gesture, he gently brushed away the tears cascading down your cheeks. Helplessly, you found yourself surrendering to his touch, feeling an innate sense of belonging. Perhaps, deep down, that's where you truly belonged.
His eyes, like an infinite abyss, held a captivating allure that enticed you to delve into uncharted territory. Within that unknown realm lay your destiny, your purpose, your frustrations, and your deepest desires. He embodied your destiny, your missing piece, your soul mate. No matter how much you resisted, you always found yourself returning to this very place—where your hands intertwined, where each embrace felt like coming home.
In his eyes, you saw the reflection of a shared journey, a connection that defied logic and surpassed all obstacles. The bond between you two was unbreakable, as if it had been woven into the fabric of the universe itself. With every passing moment, the undeniable truth emerged: you were meant to be together, entwined in a love that transcended time and space.
"I have never loved and will never love anyone the way I love you." Warren slowly approaches you, as if testing limits. "I love you Y/N, and I'm so sorry it took me so long to acknowledge and say that."
His words wash over you like a tsunami, it's not like it made things any easier or took you back to the beginning but it was a relief, feeling like you weren't the only one feeling all of this. He leans closer, holding your face gently, feeling his touch again was relieving.
“Doll, when I came here to tell you I love you. I meant that." You knew this man like the back of your hand, you knew he was telling you the truth. "And Elizabeth is just an extension of both of us, so I love her by default. That sounds oversimplified, I know that," He was nervous, you could feel his cold hands against your cheeks. "My point is: you’re my family. Both of you. I’m ready for this, I promise,” He pleaded. He needed you to understand, and you did. You understood completely.
You smile, unable to contain it, you roll your eyes. "I'm really drunk right now, I'll probably forget about it all tomorrow, so you have a chance to change your mind huh."
Warren rolls his eyes this time, he sits down on the couch, holding your hands this time. "I won't change my mind, I know what I want, I've always wanted you. It 's you, my love."
You take a deep breath, it's all the drink's fault, you repeat a hundred times in your mind.
"I love you Warren Rojas." You confess, he smiles, a sincere smile that conveys relief and pure joy.
"Can I kiss you? Please…" His voice was barely a whisper, he yearned for you, and you for him.
You sit on his lap, wrapping your arms around his neck. He looks at you with longing, curiosity, and need. "You must."
As the weight of your confessions hung in the air, a charged energy enveloped the room. Time seemed to slow down, the world fading into the background as you locked eyes with Warren, your hearts beating in sync.
With a mutual understanding, you eased yourself onto his lap, your bodies aligning as if they were always meant to fit together. Your arms encircled his neck, pulling him closer, while his hands found their place, resting gently on your waist.
In that moment, everything around you ceased to exist. The soft glow of the room seemed to intensify, illuminating the space between you. Anticipation crackled in the air, the weight of unspoken desires making the atmosphere electric.
As your faces drew closer, the warmth of his breath mingled with yours, a tantalizing prelude to the intimacy that awaited. His gaze bore into your soul, his eyes filled with a mixture of longing, curiosity, and an overwhelming need that mirrored your own.
Closing your eyes, you surrendered to the inevitability of the moment, allowing your lips to meet in a delicate collision. It started with a tender brush, a hesitant exploration, testing the waters of this newfound yet known connection. But the sparks ignited, and the kiss deepened, fuelled by a shared hunger and the unspoken promises of a love rekindled.
His lips moved against yours with a fervor that mirrored the intensity of your emotions. It was a dance of passion and tenderness, a symphony of rediscovery and forgiveness. Each touch, each caress, conveyed a multitude of emotions that words could never capture.
Time lost all meaning as the kiss deepened, the world outside fading away. In that singular moment, it was just the two of you, locked in a timeless embrace. The weight of past mistakes dissolved, replaced by the sheer bliss of being in each other's arms once again.
You are interrupted by your little girl crying in the room upstairs, you break away staring at each other for a moment, you can't hold back and start laughing at the situation, hiding your face in his neck. He holds you tenderly, not wanting to let you go.
"Alright tiger, go get your kid." You say patting his shoulder, getting off his lap.
Warren goes upstairs to his daughter's room, he finds the little girl crying propped up in her crib.
"Hello there kitten." He whispers, the little one seems to calm down with the figure of her father, opening her chubby arms towards him. "Wanna get downstairs to mommy?"
The baby hides her face in the crook of her father's neck, which makes him smile as he remembers her mother's act a few seconds ago. He goes with her to the breastfeeding chair with the little one in his lap, and stays there making her sleep.
You notice the man's delay, and decide to go after him, going up the stairs slowly so as not to make too much noise and wake up Liz, who had probably already gone back to sleep. You arrive at the foot of her bedroom door, finding Warren asleep with the little one in his lap, her head resting on her father's chest, he hugged her gently like a treasure.
Your heart melts through the scene, these two were your everything, you never thought you would love someone as much as you loved them. You enter the room, taking the little one in your arm gently, she makes a face threatening to wake up but you calm her down before that, you put her in her crib then turn to Warren.
"Hey pretty boy." You call him out, gently stroking his knee. "Come on, let's go to bed and sleep."
He yawns, opening his eyes slowly, he is startled to not feel Liz in his lap, but you reassure him by pointing to the crib.
You leave the room, letting the door ajar after you leave. You start to head towards your room, but stop when you notice Warren going down the stairs.
"Where are you going?" You question yawning, leaning your body on the stair railing.
"To the couch." He clarifies, You roll your eyes, taking him by the hand and leading him to your room.
"You will sleep in our bed." He smiles and kisses you tenderly, you lie on the bed and talk until you fall asleep.
You took a chance on him then, just as you did when you moved to California. And you never looked back.

Character Spotlight: Emergency Medical Hologram
By Ames
Tumblr media
Please state the nature of the medical emergency. For a hologram who was never constructed to be left on indefinitely, the Emergency Medical Hologram sure does get a lot of development. He starts off Voyager as an insufferable computer program, grows to learn to fight for his own agency, and ends Voyager as an insufferable computer program of an entirely new ilk! What an arc!
Your hosts here at A Star to Steer Her By are quick to cringe at some of the Doctor’s squickier moments (that are interestingly heavily weighted toward the final seasons of the series), but there’s a lot to champion him for as well! The EMH makes us view artificial lifeforms like him as people, in the same way that Data did on TNG. So make sure your mobile emitter is firmly attached as we dive into the Best and Worst Moments of Voyager’s chief medical hologram below and on this week’s podcast episode (activate at timestamp 1:05:06). Hey, I’m a blogpost writer, not a doctor.

Best moments
Tumblr media
Inside you there are two Beowulfs For the first chunk of the show, the Doctor is confined to sickbay for the most part due to his holographic nature, so when he gets to do a hologram-appropriate mission in “Heroes and Demons,” it’s an adventure unto itself! He romances the bonny lass Freya. He solves the mystery of the disappearing crewman. He literally lives out an epic tale and it’s so engaging!
Tumblr media
Before I met you, I was just a disease If you liked the Doctor’s relationship with Freya, you’re going to love his relationship with Danara Pel in “Lifesigns.” It’s probably the most genuine we’ve seen the Doc so far, as it’s clear he wants to do what’s best for the diseased Vidiian woman who hates her own body. But he urges her to keep fighting and keep healing because he loves her, the real her.
Tumblr media
A physician must do no harm Boy, do we love it when our chief medical officers get righteous about their patients. We saw it with McCoy, we saw it with Crusher, and we saw it with Bashir. And now the EMH ends up being the only person on the Voyager to not silently condone splitting Tuvix in half in “Tuvix.” Sure, he doesn’t do anything to stop it either, but he makes it clear that what Janeway is doing is wrong.
Tumblr media
You’re too sick to get better We’ve given B’Elanna and Tom some credit for helping the Doctor experience what it’s like to have a family in “Real Life,” but the actual growth we see is all his own. Deciding (with some encouragement from his friends) to be with his holo-daughter Belle as she dies is heart-breaking, but also encouraging for the Doc to treat the situation so realistically.
Tumblr media
Two holograms, alone. Romulans on one side, Starfleet on the other. Alarms beeping everywhere. We see time and again the EMH use cleverness to resolve a situation, even when he’s severely out of his depth as he was in “Message in a Bottle.” But that’s where two EMHs are better than one! He and the EMH Mark 2 are able to take control of the Prometheus back from Romulans, keep the ship from exploding, and even reconnect with Starfleet in the Alpha Quadrant!
Tumblr media
History is written by the victors Hands down, one of the best episodes of Voyager is “Living Witness,” and the EMH (or his backup program, who is essentially the same guy) really gets to shine throughout. Awoken 700 years in his future, he saves the reputation of the Voyager that the Kyrians and Vaskans have misrepresented, empowers Quarren to think critically, and keeps the two species from civil war.
Tumblr media
Luke, I am your father We still can’t get over the fact that, when the Doctor went down to the planet in “Blink of an Eye” to perform some reconnaissance, he comes back claiming that he somehow had progeny. We never learn in what capacity and by what method, but it definitely blows up our skirts to know that the EMH somehow had a son whom he sadly had to disappear on.
Tumblr media
You have the audacity to turn a house of worship into a prison? Jake just loves this little moment from “Spirit Folk” to death. It’s just the line delivery of the EMH as Father Mulligan in the Fair Haven holoprogram storming into the church and shouting “Sinners!” at all the Irish townsfolk who’ve taken Harry and Tom prisoner. He does get captured too and his mobile emitter gets swiped, but what a great line delivery from Robert Picardo.
Tumblr media
Extremely Marginal Housecalls When the EMH’s creator, Dr. Zimmerman, is terminally ill in “Life Line,” our hero packs his bags for a trip to the Alpha Quadrant to cure him. And it takes a lot of coaxing and even some covert subterfuge to get to two egomaniacs to see eye to eye, even if all of those eyes belong to the same actor. But the Doctor succeeds! Turns out you can teach a Mark One new tricks.
Tumblr media
My Treatment Coefficient is one When he’s kidnapped and forced to work on the Dinaali hospital ship in “Critical Care,” the Doctor is quick to observe the unethical medical practices, classism, and hypocrisy in their systems. And not only that, but he finds a clever way to work around their tight regulations to force the medical administration to care for all of its patients, not just the elite.
Tumblr media
Hoshi, eat your heart out Though not the linguist that Ensign Sato is on Enterprise, the EMH is able to create a language that Fantome’s people can use to communicate in “The Void.” It’s no surprise that it’s derived from music which both the Doctor and Fantome share an affinity for, but it’s also a great moment of empathy when Doc and Seven determine these alien pests are more than they appear.
Tumblr media
The holoprograms have nothing to lose but their chains We’ll go off in our next section about how the EMH is kind of a twat when he writes his holonovel, Photons Be Free in “Author, Author.” But on the flipside, his words also prove to be empowering to other sentient holo-people like the obsolete EMH Mark Ones out there. His depiction of subservient life as a holo-person may just start opening minds to their human rights.
Worst moments
Tumblr media
The Strange Case of Dr. Doctor and Mr. Doctor Whoever gave the EMH the power to tinker with his own programming was just asking for trouble. One of the first things he does in “Darkling” is turn himself into a Mr. Hyde who is even more appropriate to the Robert Louis Stevenson novel than Kirk in “The Enemy Within.” And he somehow becomes even grosser around Kes than usual, which is saying something.
Tumblr media
You are out. Auf wiedersehen. Fascinatingly, almost all of our Worst Moments take place after Seven of Nine has joined the crew. Maybe it’s because the Doctor starts getting more to do, and that includes more BAD things to do. Maybe it’s because he spends way too much time sexualizing Seven, as he does in “The Gift” by designing for her the ugliest, cringiest, most uncomfortable catsuit we’ve ever seen. Maybe it's something else. Let’s explore this trend…
Tumblr media
Now you will cluck like a chicken And we already have a really awful example in “Retrospect” when the EMH peddles really problematic pseudoscience on Seven instead of impartially investigating the circumstances. He’s not even a little bit unbiased when he surveys the Entharan lab for evidence. But what we can’t forgive the Doc for is literally hypnotizing Seven – some mystical claptrap with no science behind it!
Tumblr media
Rise and shine! The EMH has always been a bit of a prick, but usually he knows how to compromise for the good of the crew. So it’s actually a big negative to see how selfish and rude he is to Neelix and the other displaced crewmembers in “Demon” when the whole ship is bunking up to save energy. Dude, everyone is being inconvenienced here. The least you can do is let them sleep.
Tumblr media
By George, I think she’s got it! Here’s another example of the Doctor treating Seven of Nine like a sex object instead of a peer! We’ve already given Tom grief for this one, but in “Someone to Watch Over Me,” the EMH recasts himself in the role of Henry Higgins to Seven’s Eliza Doolittle, and it’s just upsetting! Why can’t these men let Seven have her own agency without making it all about themselves?
Tumblr media
Yep, here’s your problem: someone set this thing to evil It really shouldn’t take just turning off the EMH’s ethical subroutines for him to turn into a psychotic torturer like he does in “Equinox.” Does he not have common sense or the Hippocratic Oath or even anything better to do than torture Seven just because he’s told to? Just because he now CAN do unethical things apparently means he can ONLY do unethical things.
Tumblr media
The dream dreams the dreamer… in bed I admit, I can’t judge someone for their private thoughts since no one other than telepaths would even know what they are. But the sheer concentration of the Doctor’s perverse daydreams all through “Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy” is a little much. When you can tell that he’s painting Seven in the nude just to titillate the audience, that might be bad writing, Berman.
Tumblr media
Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, DOLT There’s something about seasons six and seven that turns the Doctor’s insufferableness up to eleven. When the Qomar inexplicably fawn all over him for his singing ability in “Virtuoso,” the ol’ doc really lets it all go to his head and is ruder to the crew than ever before. He’s even prepared to stay with the tone-deaf aliens because they unconditionally treat him like a celebrity.
Tumblr media
This one takes the [cheese]cake Everything from “Body and Soul” paints the Doctor in a really ugly light and, especially in the final season of the show, it makes it hard to come back from the impression of him as unsympathetic, self-centered, and abrasive. So when Seven expresses that he has violated her body while he was possessing her and his response is to blame her, that is starkly unforgivable.
Tumblr media
Anything you can do I can do better – I can do anything better than you This is the same as one of the extremely out-of-character moments from Harry Kim’s Worst Moments list from last week, but it warrants repeating. What the hell was the deal with the dick-measuring contest between the ECH and Kim in “Workforce”? For that matter, what is the Doc even doing as the ECH right now? Chakotay is back and in command! Step down already!
Tumblr media
Once upon a Seven of Nine We gave the Doctor credit for speaking for holo-people in getting Photons Be Free published in “Author, Author,” but the way he workshopped it left much to be desired. How freakin’ hard would it have been to make the characters in his story more randomized and NOT just exaggerated, cynical versions of the crew? It would’ve been so easy to save face, my dude!
Tumblr media
One Po-turd-o, Two Po-turdo-o, Three Po-turd-o, Four! I may be alone in my hatred of the turd people in “Renaissance Man,” but I maintain that the EMH shouldn’t have so eagerly (and boringly!) helped them. But what we can all agree on is that his confession to Seven when he thinks he’s dying is disgusting and a terrible impression for his character to basically go out on:
“You have no idea how difficult it's been, hiding my true feelings all these years, averting my eyes during your regular maintenance exams.”
VOMIT!!!
Computer, deactivate Emergency Medical Hologram. That’s all from the EMH, until we maybe revisit him when we get around to character spotlights for Prodigy which you are surely watching because it is stunning. For now, we’ve got some more Voyager characters to spotlight here and some more Enterprise to watch for the podcast over on SoundCloud or wherever you listen. You can also give us your medical prognosis over on Facebook and Twitter, and maybe tone down the “I’m a doctor, not a”s a little bit.

Tags: we got more smut besties, some bdsm dynamics, slight cnc ??? (reader kisses wooyoung randomly for a quick moment but it's implied consensual)
Tumblr media
January 2024
Wooyoung watched you, smiling like a little kid on Christmas while you sat in the common room reading your favourite novel. He looked at you as if you were the only thing that existed; the most beautiful thing in the world. You felt your cheeks warm up, finding it hard to focus on the words because of his eyes on you. 
“I can’t focus when you’re staring at me like that,” you finally said, not looking up from your book.
Wooyoung cleared his throat and shifted on the couch, turning his attention back to his homework. “I can’t help it,” he replied, “you just look so cute being all studious and shit.”
You smiled, trying to cover it with your book. Wooyoung was certainly cheesy, but you loved it. Every second of it. And he was right, you were easy to read, because you swore your head had turned into a tomato by this point. Wooyoung stood up and walked over to you for a moment. Your heart was about to explode as he got closer to you. He leaned in and hovered over you, lips nearly brushing against yours. You didn’t move, but you instinctively began to close your eyes. Suddenly, you heard a chuckle, only to find Wooyoung had backed away from you. He winked before going back to his homework. The fucking tease.
“You little-” you started, now staring at him intensely, “why did you do that!?”
“Because,” he smirked, “It’s fun to tease you.”
With your mind running through a million scenarios as your heart struggled to calm down, seconds later you had him pinned against the back of the couch, your knee between his thighs.
“En, what are you-”
“Shut up.” You kissed him.
A few other students walked by awkwardly, trying to hurry out of the house. Admittedly, this wasn’t the best location to pull a stunt like that, but you were too annoyed, and frankly horny, to care.
“Babe, people can see us,” he said breathlessly, gripping your shoulders to lightly push you away.
“Then take me upstairs.”
He just looked at you, dumbfounded. He never took you for a submissive person, but he certainly didn’t expect you to be this forward. Especially in a public space. “N-now?”
“Now.”
“I still need to finish my transfiguration cheat sheet-” You kissed him again, a soft moan escaping his lips. Wooyoung immediately gave up and melted under your touch, moving his arms to caress your waist. “I can finish it later.”
Wooyoung's lips hastily met yours again as he teleported the both of you into his bedroom, slamming you against the back of the door. He rested you up against it as he began to make his way down to your neck. He bit lightly, careful not to hurt you too much. Though your bruises were pretty much healed by now, he still felt the need to tread carefully. You whimpered, feeling his tongue slide across your collarbone as he began to unbutton your blouse. One hand cupped your breast as the other continued to explore your torso. You hummed, his touch sending electricity through your body. “You’re so beautiful,” he sang, moving a hand to grip your ass.
“Woo,” you whined, inhaling sharply as you felt his hand drop from your breast to your soaked core. As aroused as you were, you were certain your wetness had leaked through your trousers.
“Jesus, En,” he murmured, “you’re so wet for me already.”
You choked on your breath as you felt him tap on your clothed core. He squeezed your ass tighter, pulling you against him. He began to tap faster, your breaths starting to come out shakily and heavily. The pleasure stopped abruptly as Wooyoung released you, withdrawing to undress himself. He smirked at you as he slowly took off his clothes. You groaned in annoyance that he was taking his sweet time. You just wanted to fuck already. 
“Please don’t tease me again,” you begged, biting your lip and crossing your arms over your chest. You fidgeted in your spot.
Wooyoung laughed, as he finished removing his final article of clothing. When he stood up, he immediately pinned you to the door again, gripping you harshly as his throbbing cock brushed against your center, begging for release. “I love to hear you beg,” he spoke low and seductively before picking you and roughly placing you on the bed. 
Having already experienced sloppy drunk sex and sweet love making with Wooyoung, you were ecstatic to see the animalistic side of him. You threw your arms around his neck, forcefully pulling him against your body. 
He growled, nipping at your earlobe. “How does my baby want it, hmm?” He sang, teasingly playing with your waistband. “Do you want it fast,” bite, “slow,” his breath ran across your collarbone, “rough,” he gripped your waist harshly, “gentle,” he freed his hold into a feathered grazing, “anything you want.”
“Surprise me,” you hissed, his hand having removed your pants now resting on your exposed sex. “Don’t hold back.”
“Are you sure you’re ready for that?” He smirked, though with a hint of concern. As much as he wanted to destroy your pussy, he didn’t want to hurt you. Unless that’s what you truly wanted. You nodded, looking up at him with pleading eyes, “fuck,” he moaned, “when you look at me like that, it’s over for me.”
Now you were the one who was smirking. “Give it to me then, baby.”
Wooyoung wasted no time, shoving two fingers inside your hole. You were taken aback when he found your sweet spot promptly, a loud yelp falling out of you. He began to pump faster and faster, teasingly slowing down whenever you’d get louder. You were pulling his hair so hard at this point you had no idea how it was still on his head. “Fuck,” you groaned, “I’m-”
“That’s it, baby,” Wooyoung licked his lips, watching you unfold in front of him. Your juices began spilling out onto his hand as cries of pleasure dripped from your lips. “Keep coming for me.” He removed his fingers and pushed his cock into you while you were still squirting, giving you no time to come down from your orgasm before working you towards the next one.
“Wooyoung,” you screamed, “I’m so sensitive, I don’t know if I can-”
“You can,” he grunted, thrusting into you roughly, yet with care. “I know you can take it.”
You were whining and shaking beneath him, alternating between gripping the sheets and sinking your nails into his back. A high-pitched mewl escaped his lips, which could only mean he was nearing his peak. “Your pussy feels so good, I don’t want to stop.” His thrusts began to get sloppy, though he tried with all the strength he had left to keep it steady. “Fuck,” he hissed, “I’m coming.”
Your screams began to match each other’s, the mixture of your sweat, slick, and precum making a mess on one another. Wooyoung slammed one hand against the headboard while keeping the other firmly on your hips as he finished you both off, somehow managing to pull out successfully at the last second to release onto your stomach. You were still shaking and moaning, eyes rolling to the back of your head. Wooyoung was laughing breathlessly, taking pride in the fact he made you come so hard. He fell beside you, sprawling out on the bed as one arm reached over to pull you against him. He grabbed the towel draped over the headboard and began to clean you up. 
“Why do you just have that hanging there?” You asked, coming down from your high.
“I think you should know.”
You felt stupid for asking, your brain elsewhere from the orgasm. Of course he got horny just as much as you. “Right, yeah. Duh.”
He giggled, placing a kiss on your cheek. “It’s nothing compared to you, though.”
You smiled, wrapping yourself around him. “I could say the same.”
You laid there for a few moments, simply listening to the sounds of each other's breaths and running your fingers through each other's hair before your phone began to ring. Wooyoung grabbed it from the nightstand beside him to hand it to you. You both saw it was Yunho calling.
“When are you telling him?” Wooyoung asked.
“Today, actually,” you replied, “I forgot he was coming to meet me. He must be on his way now.” You gave Wooyoung a friendly pat on his knee before answering the call. “Hey, Yu.”
“Hey, I’ll be there in five, is that okay?” Yunho questioned.
You nodded, though he obviously couldn’t see you, “Sure, see you soon,” before hanging up the phone.
“Have you two talked much lately?” Wooyoung inquired.
You shrugged. “Not really. We’ve been texting here and there, but after the day Jongho got back, he told me he needed some time to think and he’d reach out soon. He texted me yesterday if we could meet today.” Wooyoung nodded as he watched you rise from the bed, picking up your clothes to change back into. “Do I look and smell too much of sex?”
Wooyoung snorted, reaching over to grab your hips and pull you closer to him who was still lying in the bed. “Do you really care about that? You’re about to tell him we’re together. I’m sure he figures.”
“Woo,” you whined, rolling your eyes as you nudged his shoulder playfully.
“Sorry, sorry,” he threw his hands up in defeat. “You look fine, just go spray a bit of perfume.”
And with that, you planted a kiss on his cheek, making your way out of his bedroom. “Talk later,” you said sweetly, closing the door behind you.
Soon enough, Yunho had made it to your house. “Hey, Yu,” you greeted him softly as you opened the front door, stepping outside into the cold January air to join him, “Should we go sit in the garden?” He nodded, the two of you walking to the destination in silence.
“So,” you started once you both had sat down on one of the benches, “since you reached out, should I assume you’ll talk first?”
Yunho nodded. “To start, I want to ask,” he began, “did you enjoy our date? Like, truthfully? Please be honest.”
You let out a small giggle, as you found it a bit cute he was worried about it. “I did,” you answered, “I had a lot of fun.”
“Is there anything I could have done better to, you know, change your mind?”
You look at him confused, “what do you mean?”
“I can sense it,” he said, “that there’s no chance for us to happen. Was I a bad kisser?”
You laughed louder this time, Yunho eventually joining you. “Not at all,” you gleamed, “you’re a fantastic kisser, actually.”
“I only wish I had more time to let things possibly workout.”
“I haven’t even said anything yet!”
Yunho chuckled at your small outburst. “Sure, but I can tell, En. I’m not stupid, I can read a room.”
Your stomach sank. Yunho really was a wonderful guy, but for you, it would only be as a friend. “I’m sorry, Yu,” you apologised, “I shouldn’t have agreed to go on the date with you. I had a great time, believe me, but,” you paused, “I didn’t know how deeply I felt for Woo then. I thought it was just a silly little crush.”
“En,” Yunho started, “I could tell how much you felt for him since the day we met,” you looked up at him, surprised, “you had only just met the guy, too, but when we met you at the orientation dinner, it was written in your eyes.”
You frowned and blushed simultaneously, feeling disappointed in yourself for letting Yunho down, but feeling the butterflies grow in your tummy thinking about Wooyoung and all you felt for him. Yunho was right. It really had been since day one. 
“I’m sorry, Yu. Truly. I like you, I do, but Wooyoung…”
As you trailed off, Yunho spoke up again, “You might like me, but you love him, and that’s okay.”
Your cheeks flushed and you buried your face in your frozen hands. “Ah, those words!” You squealed, “I didn’t say that!”
Yunho laughed, wrapping his arm around your shoulder. He playfully pried your hands away so he could get a good look at your cherry-red face. “Am I wrong?”
You shook your head, trying to hide again but he wouldn’t let you. “I haven’t told him yet!”
“Well, if things don’t work out-”
“Yunho!” You slapped his arm and gasped. “Don’t put that energy out!”
He threw his arms up in defeat, letting out a small chuckle, “I’m just saying,” then sighed, “anyway, as I said, I am still your friend. I want us to act the same as we always have, okay?”
“Don’t you need some time?”
He nodded. “Yes, but I know how to do that. Besides, I wasn’t in love with you, so I don’t think it will take me too long to get over it.”
“Oh, so I’m easy to get over, is that it?” You joked.
“Absolutely, I feel nothing already!”
March 2024
March rolled around, and everything finally felt normal again. Yunho had gotten over you by February, but he had been working on a big project for his transfiguration class that he didn’t really have much time to talk to you. Thankfully, he was finally finished and you two could go back to speaking as you always had. Jongho seemed to have finally released a lot of the tension he’d been harbouring, though he still made it clear he hated you. It was just less intense than usual. You and Wooyoung were great. He’d already taken you on a few dates and vice versa. The two of you felt inseparable, the way you cared for one another in every aspect. He was very attentive and quick to help whenever you were struggling with something. The way he made you laugh so hard your stomach hurt. The way he made love to you left you both satiated and unsatiated at the same time.
You were sitting in prophecy class, shuffling through your notes to get in a few final minutes of studying before your test.
“Not prepared?” Mingi snickered beside you.
“Oh, please,” you rolled your eyes, “why are you like this?”
“I'm just kidding, relax.”
“You’re just mean,” you frowned.
Mingi gave an apologetic smile, muttering a quick ‘sorry’ before going back to his seat.
“En,” Mrs. Princeton was standing beside your desk, voice hushed, “the dean wants to see you.”
“The dean?” You asked, “right now?” She nodded, “but I’m about to take a test! Can’t it wait?”
“You can take it after hours, I’ll set up a time.”
You groaned, picking up your stuff bitterly and exiting the classroom. Seriously? Why did it have to be now of all times? 
You approached the staff building, trying to fight your irritation. “Hello,” you greeted the secretary as kindly as you could despite the annoyance you felt, “the dean called me?”
“Are you En Matthews?” She asked and you nodded. “Straight through the third door on your left"
“Thank you.”
Upon entering, you saw Jongho sitting in one of the seats. As if he already wasn’t confusing enough, this left you utterly lost. 
“Jongho, what are you doing here?” You questioned. He didn’t move, keeping himself facing forward. “Okay, whatever,” you muttered, rolling your eyes.
“Have a seat, Miss Matthews.” The dean insisted, motioning towards the other empty seat. You nodded and obliged, sitting down in the burgundy armchair. “Do you know why you’re here?”
“No idea,” you popped your tongue.
The dean sighed, crossing his hands and leaning forward in them slightly. “It’s come to my attention that you have violated school policy.” He released his hands, reaching into his desk as you sat there silently, unable to speak. What violation was he talking about? Suddenly, he pulled out a stack of papers, probably about an inch thick. You were extremely confused about what he was trying to get at.
“Unfortunately, En Matthews, you are expelled from Hogwarts University.”

please please my dear tell me a story of one of Willow's murders
I'm gonna copy and paste down some of the idea from the DMs from a while ago. I'll only steal the messages I wrote, which is why they might look disorganised. Cuz I'm replying to something another person said. Anyway forgive it for being sloppy, you know how it is with DMs:
- We had the hc that having a galdorstone for a heart might tamper with Hunter's blood. Like the liquid would be imbued with an unstable amount of magic.
Its considered extremely dangerous to work with grimwalker blood. Raine and the rest of the lab experimented with a literal DROP that Hunter donated once and it made shit fucking explode. Its just WAY too much to handle.
But obviously, that's not gonna stop some people from trying to get a hold of it. It's considered extremely valuable. It will sell for SO MUCH at the night market.
Obviously anybody who's willing to risk everyone else's safety to get hold of an absolutely lethal substance and possibly harm/capture Hunter to bleed him dry, would obviously be an absolutely depraved awful person. Just vile.
However, people do not go after Hunter as often as one might think. It definitely happens every once in a while tho.
Willow is up early tending to her garden, letting Hunter sleep in an extra few hours before he has to go to work. She's taken the baby from her cradle so she doesnt cry and wake up Papa and now has her sleeping in a sling against Willow's chest, soothed by the sound of Mama's heartbeat.
Willow's whole garden abruptly shifts in a way only she can notice and she lifts her head, alerted to the apparent disturbance. She recognizes the signal. It means there's an intruder.
Willow approaches the back yard where there is a man who tried to break in by their window but was immediately snatched and restrained by vines.
Willow quickly deduces who he is by rooting around in his pockets and discovering his identifications, weapons, vials, ropes and sleep potions.
"Let me guess," Willow says softly. "You're here for my husband,"
Said husband continues to sleep on peacefully, as does the baby curled up against her breast. The baby doesn't wake because Willow's heartbeat remains steady.
The Boiling Isles doesn't have Coven Scouts anymore. There's no longer a police form. Meaning, it's easier to get away with crimes. You won't go to jail. However you might get slaughtered in cold blood if you pick the wrong target.
Willow thinks about strangling him until his organs pop but she decides against it.
She won't kill him.
Instead she smothers his mouth shut in vines so he can't scream. (The two loves of her life are sleeping ssshhhh)
She sprouts the plants that Hunter was always deeply fascinated with. The ones that sizzle and boil and devour flesh.
She has it slither up the intruders body, leeching against his left leg, his right arm, his back, his collarbone. The acidic spit stings like a nightmare. It takes chunks out of him.
He'll live. He's in immense pain and no healing magic will ever fix that but he'll survive. He'll never forget the mistake he made in threatening her family tho.
Willow lets him go and sends him off. She gives him very firm instructions.
"Your friends, partners, whoever put this stupid idea in your head, you go back and you tell them I went easy on you. Consider yourself a warning to them. You will never attempt to touch that man. Do you understand me?"
- I like the thought she wouldn't have tortured him quite so severely if they didn't have a baby. Like No. You won't touch her husband. You won't touch her baby's Papa. They're starting a family together and she will melt you from the inside out if you try to get in their way
- As soon as she fucking renders a guy to a gasping wreck because of the excruciating pain she put him through, she calmly strolls back into the house, into their room and sits down by her husband.
She pecks his lips and she hears him groan.
"It's about time you woke up," She says, tenderly brushing back his hair.
Eyes still closed, Hunter raises a hand and searches around for hers. He finds it and presses her palm against his cheek.
"Okay...I'm up...I'm up...." He mumbles, still half asleep.
He has no idea. And he probably won't. He's not adverse to his wife *handling* problems like these. He just asks that she not tell him the details. Makes him nauseous
- It's the reason she has absolutely no mercy. Her methods are not only ruthless but strategic. There are people who want to harm her husband and she wants them feeling just as helpless, haunted and traumatized by her actions as she was in that graveyard all those years ago.
She needs them scared of her. She need them to shit themselves in fear over the IDEA of ever going near Hunter again. She kills some intruders. But mostly she mangles them and sends them running so people understand the kind of pain she could put them through too.
She wants them scared. Because *she's* scared. She's scared of being the princess who loses the prince. So she becomes the fire breathing dragon instead.
She often wants to hold him in her arms for a very long time. Even if he's reading or carving or typing some fanfic on his laptop she'll cuddle him from behind. He doesn't always know what she needs comfort from but he's familiar with how she acts when she needs it. So he let's her hold him
Its when Hunter is holding their baby in his arms, talking softly to her, allowing her to seize hold of his finger, that Willow is like "We are going to have a happy peaceful future together if it kills me"
- Willow gets no joy out of killing people but it doesn't make her uncomfortable in the way that it does to Hunter.
When Willow was little and her powers were out of control, she always worried that one day she could seriously hurt somebody and not mean to.
But that's not the case anymore. Sometimes she kills somebody. And she *does* mean to. Everything that's keeping Willow sane and stable and in control of herself are her friends and family. Meaning she will do whatever it takes to strike down any threat to them. She doesn't CARE. She realizes that some people are beyond redemption and if she kills, she kills.
Hunter, meanwhile, has reservations about killing, no matter how vile the person is. Like he is absolutely capable of it. He's strong and tough and powerful. HOWEVER the grimwalker trauma is rooted deep. Its a really troubling thought to shake off, knowing you were literally *constructed* to slaughter witches. It's an act of defiance that he never sheds a witch's blood *once.* If he's ever forced to, it would probably send him spiraling. But like. He's not all "nooo Willow everybody deserves to live." He understands killing as self defense. He just doesn't want to be the one doing it. If he's ever around when Willow has to do it, he turns the other way so he doesn't have to see.

quid pro quo my friend you must explain one of your oc groups to me
shriek. you daare squid pro quo ME. you don't even know that I HAVE oc groups actually who am I kidding. beans you over the head with these funny bastards. afterwards its your turn though
HUMAN RESOURCES DISPATCH AGENTS TEAM: Scrap Havoc (not sure if that's the team name or the story name) has a population of five (who only have code names because I haven't gotten around to real names. Team leader is Corleone and she orders around a squadron composed of Redbelly, Crispie, Cinnabar(&Mercury) and Shinjii.
Redbelly, joined the team as a pal of Corleone's and a solid worker is named after piranhas because that's her job. She has holdover magic powers from a system migration that gives her dope ass blood magic that's mostly used to heal real fast but you can also make pointy constructs out of blood and also she has a Special Unique blood dude ability, Devour, that she shares with her favorite shotgun. Devour is basically a blast shaped beam attack that annihilates matter and directly translates destroyed organic matter into more fuel for the Infinite Blood Healing.
Shinjii is Redbelly's fucked up and weird little nephew. He's in Redbelly's house and also business because he's the survivor of a Concerningly Redacted Sci Fi event that saw any family members with more respectable employment Deleted. He's also short enough to mention and kinda babyfaced which makes it odd for him to be doing Sci-Fi Adventure Bullshit, but Shinjii is also a fucked up little savant at the job. He's clever, small and fast and hard to keep track of, deadpan rude in a way that's GREAT for bantz, and best of all almost everyone else in the team can throw him if they need him through a high up window. He also may or may not be an inspecifically prescient were-dragon depending on the previously mentioned magic system migration. Either way it's a bit of an Image to put him (short, subtly and tastefully schemeful and unsettling) next to his auntie (tall, covered in blood, and very gregarious and boisterous.)
Cinnabar is an old friend from when she are Corleone were kids. She was SUPPOSED to be a cool and suave sharply dressed Corporate Agent you know the type of shit you see as bad guys in cheap cyberpunk-the-game stuff. She's great at things like infiltration, espionage, not being as horrifically crass as some of her teammates, and managing the paperwork that Sci Fi Adventure Bullshit probably causes. Her corporate base did get super duper blown up in the middle of corporate war. Cinnabar got not-exploded by breaking the glass on some Super Secret Corporate Bullshit and hitting the road with it and by it I mean Mercury. Mercury is a nanomachine grey goo with all the abilities a secret corporate grey goo project would probably have. It spends most of its time on Cinnabar's shoulder like a really fancy scarf and has all the brainpower of a really stupid smart dog. As a refined, dignified corporate agent she can appreciate fine art, such as Redbelly after a thirty minute street brawl.
Crispie is the team's funny operator robots guy and also the most honest character design here in that he's a guy who Maximizes his Gamer Skills by doing as much computer bullshit as humanely possible simultaneously. As the penultimate manifestation of such l33t g4m3r ski11z, Crispie can split his attention between his actual body and ludicrous amounts of drones and bots and hacker bullshit at any moment, to the point that he considers the entire network as part of his body more than his meat body alone. Despite such freakish computing power, Crispie has to put significant effort into preventing Shinjii and Cinnabar from sniping the shit outta him in most games. This universe is one energy-drink heart attack from the first true strong AI being made by accident by a dweeb who likes FOV drone racing.
You may think to yourself, what secret sauce does Corleone have to be the wise, respected, and even occasionally listened-to leader of this conference of freaks. Well for starters Corleone is a 6 foot something butch lesbian with a CDL and a set of sci-fi turbocarabiners. She also builds and mechanics dope-ass power rigs, the kind of shit that looks like wearing forklifts (and also she works on trucks because truck is still a concept even in the beautiful far future.) Leo also has a natural sense of wisdom, down-to-earth-ness, and capability for rough-housing that really contributes to the chill and love-and-friendshipful environment of this gang of Commits Tremendous Violence For Money And Advancement Opportunities Out Of The Back Of Corleone's Shop.
These guys kind of kick it inspecifically in a sci-fantastika setting that I gnaw on sometimes. Occasionally I lob these guys at funny hypothetical situations, or perhaps interactions with other characters in the setting like "1/4 of Satan" and "Capital A Alchemist who specializes in party drugs."

more organized RH headcanons +picrews of their (human) designs !!
hello yes the title of this
there are headcanons i'd like to share but they're either too personal or too uh. idk what to call them but i would have to use a trigger warning a lot and i don't want that. i don't wanna include that here- (but just a note, if i ever post human DJ Yellow drawings, i am not putting a tw for his scars as they are healed. that's all)
this is VERY LONG so sit back and enjoy your stay
credits to the respective creators of he picrews! had fun using most of them (Cecil has elf ears because fuck you thats why)
DJ Yellow
or; Yotsuhe/Yellow, age 22
gay boygirlic (a boy who experiences feminity in a way that doesn't affects their gender identity; explanation i can give fron what i understood of the original definition), any/all pronouns (he doesn't cares at all)
he has freckles but only visible on the sun
surprisingly, can take headphones off. just don't ask him to do it, he might just ignore you. but it is now common to see him headphoneless
he lets his hair grow a lot and then refuses to cut it, but in reality he hates having long hair
the idea of being a famous DJ known all around the world like Skrillex or CHU² in RAISE A SUILEN doesn't makes him too happy. that's why he participates as a DJ in most of school events or in local parties. he prefers to be known for his VOCALOID songs/covers or his cosplaying or dancing, or even his MMD videos. being a DJ is more of a hobby for him so "why be known for it when i have something else that's my actual passion?"
sanest Hatsune Miku fan. buys all the cosplays he finds, the figurines, funko pops, dolls, wigs, posters, stickers, keychains, phonecharms, pins, decoration and plushies he finds. basically he is me when i see something Husk, Vox, TMNT or Wakfu related, but with Miku
Yellow knows a lot about VOCALOID and hates you forever if you mistake a VOCALOID with a SynthV etc. also hates you if you think vocal synthetizers are AI
Len Kagamine is like his second identity, as he learnt most dance moves from him, including the acrobatics. he now breakdances whenever he has the possibility. thanks Len Kagamine
Yellow needs glasses most of the time. the problem is that he loses them a lot so he's just. blind. too much roblox
he has three voices: his normal voice (voiceclaim: kokichi ouma english, kyo or yuu from zola project), his more childish or mocking voice (len kagamine soft, elmo or bluey. you read that right. elmo.) and his feminine voice for... uh. doesn't matter (marcille from dungeon meshi in latin spanish or amalia sheram sharm in french). the uses of the last two voices is unknown... for the public knowledge
silly picrew time:
Tumblr media
Student
or; Katsumoto/Blue, age 21
bi male, he/shark pronouns, proud boygirlic protector
after years of dating, he was forced by Yellow to learn some dances for cosplay performances, even if he knows Blue suffers of social anxiety. it was enough for him to GO to a convention with Yellow. now imagine him cosplaying KAITO or Sebastian Michaelis and dancing Cendrillon. poor guy is exploding
number one germs hater. carries 70/30 alcohol+water everywhere, sanitary towels and tiny bags
don't leave him alone at home. he's the living Senshi but in blue. he's baking you 30 types of chocolate cake if you leave the house for 2 minutes
or, you can choose to leave him alone and surprise him singing, which he rarely does to the public. not even Yellow. but, what does he sing? something in spanish for sure, maybe El Cuarteto De Nos. or maybe he's choosing Atarashii Gakko? or maybe he's humming a Minecraft song. who knows
he enjoys drawing and animating, making really smooth animations
he has one voiceclaim for two situations: YOHIOloid for when he is singing, Hazu Kashibuchi for when he's talking normally
Blue has had his phase of long hair but soon enough asked for help to cut it out because the feeling was not letting him live normally. he wanted his "floor cleaner hair" (named like that by him) back
he is THE autism. and also a theathre kid. favourite musical is probably heathers or ride the cyclone
silly picrew time. do you prefer long haired Blue or bald
(needed an excuse to show the human djs kissing picrew)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
J.J
or; JayJay/Jason/Leo/Leonardo/Jay, age 24
bi male, he/they/she pronouns, jokingly responds with "my pronouns are i/ta/ly"
HE IS POC and you cannot say otherwise
he smokes, but smells like roses
screams in italian when he is overly exaggerating with his reaction. it's the perfect source of laughter for Cecil
he can also play the bass, being a 'support' when Cecil practices songs on the guitar
he can also sing, but thanks to Cecil's demands of him singing like an agonizing racoon he rarely does. "agonizing racoon" comes from the fact that J.J has an Ado complex and uses a lot of screaming and growling in everything he sings. Cecil is worried about his vocal chords, even if J.J knows what he's doing
she was an emo before switching his life style to visual kei until the end of time. no one knows how his eyes look like without makeup
J.J still lives with his parents, actually. he has his own department but fuck that. he uses that department for music purposes (or he goes there to cry). but he wants his momma
you can't call him a visual kei nerd if he is the visual kei. has played with Cecil's cousin in the past and formed part of Megamasso for quite a long time until he gave up with Ryou's "bullshit" and left the band. Later forming what we know as the Rockers, or as i like to call it, the Rhythm Heaven Watashime Slug thing. but i'm stopping there because i have all things planned for the Rockers and this Watashime Slug thing leave me alone i'm normal (i'm not)
his room is very clean, and he has many figurines around the shelves and desk. there's one in particular that doesn't fit the "vibe", and it's a dinosaur plushie. it belonged to his younger brother who passed when J.J was 15 and his brother was around 12-15. everything that belonged to him was sent to charity or to the basement, except for that dinosaur
for his voice i never got creative. but back in the day, his voiceclaim was Kaito from Danganronpa. back in the day when Cecil was named JAVID.
silly picrew time, i promise i'll make more that look more... drawable or whatever
Tumblr media
whatever you say jason leonardo from rhythm heaven headcanons
Cecil
or; Sou/Cez/Cece/Soushi/Cil-ly. age 23
pan nonbinary, he/they/ey pronouns
all his life he played the violin. it was at the age of 17 that he started playing the guitar with J.J
his mom is very much against the whole visual kei thing and him looking androgynous, but with time she has learnt to accept the differences™. as for Cecil's dad, he's a super chill adam sandler typa guy. adam sandler as in clothing. it was his dad who introduced him to the guitar world, with guitar hero lol
Cecil has a few voiceclaims for me but it's because i can't decide, only for his singing voice that's on my yt channel; fukase soft/normal. but for a spoken voice, i had Brandon from Team Hot Wheels in mind. but now i can't decide so bro won't talk. he shall sing
Cecil's very clumsy with his eyeliner so he always cries to J.J for help
he is Blue's best friend, and how they became friends is very funny actually. one time when J.J and Yellow were fighting, both Cecil and Blue decided to run away from the problem and hide somewhere until they were done. they were casually walking to the same place to hide. that's when Cecil decided to speak with "I suppose he talks crap about me to you too eh?...", to which Blue responds "...Yeah, but you don't look that terrible...". best friends forever the end
he is actually waiting for J.J to finally let go of his mother so they can go living on J.J department for music™, but that's not happening very time soon
Cecil cries very easily, actually. one time J.J was invited to play with his old band for a few concerts in another city and Cecil spent whole nights crying in call to J.J because he missed them. poor guy
he also enjoys animating, like Blue, but he has a more youtuber animation storytime type of style, more static and less movements depending of the situation. but he has a good hand with MMD
when him and J.J formed Watashime Slug, he spent hours not paying attention in class, writing the first song they recorded. half the school year lost, why ya askin
before singing in front of a lot of people he actually needs to kick or punch something while he hyperventilates. otherwise he id exploding
one of his vocal stims is quoting the life gives you lemons vine, with the voice crack and all
silly picrew time. CECIL ELF EARS JUMPSCARE and kissing rockers oh my god are they even real (they should be. i'm going insane)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Red Woman
or; Connie, age 22
sapphic girl, she/her pronouns, also a proud boygirlic protector
Yellow's best friend from faaaaaaar. they cosplay, sing and dance together whenever they got the opportunity. one might mistake them for a couple for how close they are, but nope yellow likes mem and connie likes wemen
she prefers to sing metal rather than rapping. mainly she does it because she wants to growl and scream like Lena Scissorhands, her idol. of course J.J then wants to do sing with her. she's also a soprano. how cool is she dude she's the whole package
her voiceclaim is Ruby and v4flower from Vocaloid. Ruby for english, v4flower for japanese. with both she can talk lol
she made black kusanagi nene canon y'all it wasn't me it was connie
she's in a relation with Jenna (blue woman), but many people think she's dating MC Adore due to them being close. she has two situations where she's mistake by someone's partner but no one knows about Jenna lol
silly picrew time look at her gooooo yayyyy
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Blue Woman
or; Jenna/Jen. age 22
sapphic girl, she/they pronouns
i don't have much headcanons about her, but she's also a soprano and main choir singer for Connie
she has auditioned for some musicals but never got the role ever. her dream role is Jane Doe and Miss Argentina
her voiceclaim is CUL from v2 with a lower gender parameter setting. as for english and/or spoken voice, i'd probably say constance from rtc
she loves her gf. a lot. she has a lot of love to give
loves going out for walks, no matter what time is it
silly picrew AND KISS YAY it's the last kiss picrew i promise
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Red Rapper
or; Kohai/Ko/Red/parappa. age 22
transgender man, unlabelled, he/him
he has a cousin-like bond with Connie, as their parents are super close and they grew up together. unlike Yellow Rapper and Jenna, that they're actual family. specifically siblings
also Yellow's best friend and one that stayed most of the time on his side during difficult situations until he met Blue
a rapping voice he might have besides his og voice, is TOPHAMHAT-KYO's from FAKE TYPE. as for talking, i'd say tankman? the one that appears in fnf because i forgot his name so now you know *which* tankman i'm talking about... at least after training his voice. and as for his singing voice, ARSLOID is a close choice for me, but not sure
he has dated Yellow Rapper in the past, but it's not like they felt romantic feelings towards each other all the time? it was more sort of platonic, so they stayed as friends. but remember something...
kissing the homies goodnight
his name was actually gonna be something among John or Noah, but when he came out to his parents and was asked what name he went by, his dad interrupted him and told the story that if he was amab, his name was gonna be Kohai, a japanese his dad fell in love with after living in Japan for years. cuz yeah, Red's american, not japanese. Red found it cool and decided that's gonna be his name. boom. lore.
silly picrew that's actually silly!?!?!?!?!!! please please check this picrew out it's super awoowoo /silly
none have the same vitiligo but they're close to the one i draw
Tumblr media Tumblr media
yes he likes lemon demon
MC Adore
or; So'ra/So/Adieu/Amore. age 23
pan polyamorous female, she/her
her dream was to be a model, actually. but got an emotional attatchement to the imagination movers once, and thus made her insanely interested in music, evolutionating to rap music. then she built her persona, a serious but chill and fancy woman, collaborating with other rappers and artists around the Tengaku school (the biblically accurate rhythm heaven school where everyone with a bit of rhythm and coordination can study no matter how old they are. but that's for another day)
her singing voiceclaim is Merli and IA from vocaloid. for talking, back in the day ive chosen Agatha from O Surreal Mundo do Any Malu, but today i'd say Leslie Kritzer as Miss Argentina (or Delia) or Rosie from HH
as a joke she would smooch Connie until Jenna sees them and gets slightly angry, just to get a laugh. it's just kissing homies which is not gay btw🙀
many years ago, her and Yellow dated as they were the top famous at school, and big fanatics shipped them!? so they were like "...are we supposed to do somethkng about it or-". it was kind of forced, of course, and obviously they broke up because they actually didn't feel anything. textual words of Yellow: "thank God, i was just about to tell you i like men and boobs scare me"
mc adore picrew jumpscare
Tumblr media
WITH THE FEVER UNIFORM🗣️🗣️🗣️💥‼️
Pitcher
or; Peach/Pitch/pinkie. age 19
transgender girl, bi with female preference, she/her
she has a crush on Reporter and hs been there for a long time now, but can't get Reporter's attention on that
she's extremely shy and insecure, but So'ra approached her once to share lunch and she became her friend. so if she feels in danger sometime, she just hides behind the first person that was nice to her: So'ra
she wants to be recognized for playing baseball but doesn't sees any progress on her. so she gets frustrated easily and would stop going to the practice to stay home and do it on her own time
she once got the role for a musical because Reporter signed her in, but she never played the role, as she felt she was going to faint. the reason reporter signed her in was her harmonious voice that could be perfect for Lydia Deetz, Sky the Scout or Heather McNamara. but she simply couldn't
voiceclaims for her include Kaai Yuki and Otomachi Una sugar for singing, two childish, girly and soft voices. for spoken voices, Himiko from Danganronpa and Luo Tianyi are my target options
Peach is super fluid in chinese, and doesn't gets the big chilling (bing xiling) meme at all. "what's so funny about ice cream?"
basic ahh picrews but it's better than nothing
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Reporter
or; Debbie/Debs/Bee. age 19
unlabelled, strictly she/her pronouns
voice claim for singing is Megpoid GUMI Adult/AdultMellow. for talking, the pilot Charlie from HH or April O'Neil 2018
she's very bubbly and talkative. open to everyone and direct with her opinions even if they sound a little harsh
runs a fan blog about wrestling and otaku culture news, proclaming herself a celebrity
she enjoys dancing a lot, even if she's a bit clumsy
there's no way to make her shut up if you mention something related to sports or if she hears an incorrect fact about otaku culture
she bought most of Peach's outfits, helping her get more feminine and soft clothing that helped her feel better
has a little job working as a babysitter to most of the children living in the area, having a lot of tiny little friends wanting her attention and storytelling. she also teaches them english if they behave properly, so they have a little language their oarents don't understand that they can use when they play
president of the school newspaper. makes sure everything's perfect
you know what time it is. THAT'S RIGHT
Tumblr media
Mako
age 16
questioning female, she/her pronouns
adoptive daughter of Annie and Mark, the two sciencists of Love Lab. there was a language barrier, as both sciencists were still learning japanese, but nothing beats the language of love... and Google translator
she met DJ Yellow when she was a child in the Tengaku's dance club, Yellow being a support teacher for kids that got frustrated easily, finding her pouting in a corner of the room. they developed a sibling-like relation, Yellow obviously being the older one, and to this day they call one another sister and brother
she always skipped class to go looking for her parents around school, as they were physics and chemistry teachers until something happened with Annie. maybe another story for another day but don't worry she's still alive
Mako loves dancing, singing and colouring. she's Tengaku's youngest 'idol', even if she didn't want to he one. but she finds it fun
voiceclaim for everything is otomachi una spicy/sugar !!
she's very fashionable, and loves uniform-like outfits
but she also loves sleeping, and spends most of the day in pajamas. she also makes sleepovers with her friends every once a month
her favourite animal are monkies and she's not sure why. she recalls a stuffed animal of a monkey back when she was waiting to get adopted, that she liked very much. she suspects it all started there
drum rolls YAYYY picrew time
Tumblr media
isn't she the cutest don't you wanna pet her head because i do she's so skrunkly
AND WITH THIS we conclude the longest fucking post i've ever made. i'm missing out on Haruka and Akira (Girl and Boy from double date) but honestly i'm tired and for them i just include music. for example, Haruka plays the piano like PAREO from RAS and she can high kick when she catches the rhythm on metal and rock. or Akira is good at freestyling. very basic shit
these are the bases of whatever headcanons i make of them, specially the rockers and djs. remember that if you don't like a headcanon, do NOT hate. instead keep the commet to yourself or comment your view in a respectful way🫶🏽 because none of these hurt you, although i get it if it somehow makes you uncomfortable to see a headcanon be different from your own, because it happens to me very very often. but let"s respect everyone's imagination and enjoy the community instead !
i hope yall liked these mfs

Police officers come to skeleton's house and arrests them, handcuffs and all, for something they didn't do, how do they react?
Undertale Sans - He's freaking out, but doesn't resist, as he well knows it will make things worst. He has no idea what he possibly did, but it's fine. He calmly asks Papryrus, who is also freaking out and begging the officers to tell him what's happening, to call Undyne and Asgore to let them know. After a rough interview where Sans understood nothing what the guys were telling, he's free. Though Asgore who came to fetch him personally is really not happy about the treatment he got and won't hesitate to call out their shit.
Undertale Papyrus - He tries to stay positive. He was going to follow them gladly but then they handcuffed him and that was very displeasant. Papyrus tries to stay calm, this is surely a misunderstanding. Once at the police station, he uses his phone call to call Undyne, who explodes and says that's an abusive arrestation since they don't have any proof. She's coming and boy, Papyrus can hear her scream from his cell. In no time, he's out.
Underswap Sans - Now that's just ridiculous, he's working at the police station! The officers who arrest him are people who don't like him, he knows it, but he has a tons of friends in the police office waiting for them to ask them what the hell they think they're doing. Blue stays calm even though he's accused of murder, the funny thing being he was in service when that happened with a tons of witness so it's ridiculous.
Underswap Papyrus - He closes the door, in utter panic, and runs to hide in his room. The police officers breaks down his door and forces him on the floor. He's just crying in fear, terrified, having no clue what's going on. The police officers don't care and throws him in the car. Poor Honey is rattling his bones all the way to the police station, scared, but thank god as he is dragged in the interview room, Blue saw him. Blue is mad when he realises nothing happened and that they traumatised his brother for nothing. Honey just wants to go home.
Underfell Sans - Lol. Nope. He closes the door at their face and teleports away. Good luck finding him, losers. He calls Edge to tell him about the situation. Edge is a lawyer and he will have their asses.
Underfell Papyrus - He's a lawyer and he knows the arrestation is completely illegal. But he says nothing. He lets them handcuffs him and drags him in an interview room, where they start to threaten him. Edge stays silent long minutes, and once they're done, starts to list outloud all the offenses they made and how much it's going to cost them once he sues them to death. The officers are getting paler and paler as he keeps going, definitely nor scared nor impressed. He can't wait to see them in court again. In the end, the officers free him, begging him to not go to court. Edge just laughs at their face.
Horrortale Sans - Oak is not taking it well. He's fighting with all he has, and he already injured three officers. There's now an entire squad in his house, trying to corner him. He got tasered three times now and he's so stressed he's blasting everything around him now, without a warning. It all ends when one officer grabs his gun and shoots him in the shoulder, right when Willow comes home. Willow screams in fear and runs to him, as Oak is shaking on the floor. Willow is asking them coldly what they have against his brother, who is legally not responsible for his actions because of his disabilities. That's when one police officer whispers they got the wrong house. There's a long silence. Willow is mad, and assures them they're going to pay for injuring his brother and fucking up months of therapy. Oak is traumatised, scared and jumpy. It will take a long time to recover, and for his injured arm to heal.
Horrortale Papyrus - He was too slow for the officers so they forced him on the floor. Willow is crying out they're hurting him, but they don't care. Oak is in a corner, coming in and out in stress as they're hurting his brother, but Willow begs him to stay out of this and calls Toriel. And call Toriel he did. Toriel comes to his rescue, raging, and will make all the police officers cry as she's making them feel guilty. Willow is free after a few hours, but he's not ok. His back is stuck and he has to go to the hospital to fix it. He's going to fill a report against the police officers who arrested him.
Swapfell Sans - He just sighed and asked what Rus did this time but blinked when the police officers said they're here for him. "... I BEG YOUR PARDON? I AM NO CRIMINAL, FUCK OFF." Ok, maybe the "fuck off" was too much, but still. The police officers tries to jump on him, but, uh, they might underestimated him. Now attacked, Nox goes full captain of the royal guard mode and efficiently knock them off unconscious. He locks them in his cave, scares them to death and lets them run away in fear and without their pants after a few hours of showing them who is the boss. He never got bothered again after this, surprisingly.
Swapfell Papyrus - Rus sighs in defeat. He's not sure where he fucked up again but he's accepting his fate and just gives them his hands. The police officers are smirking. Well, I mean, by now, he has a loyalty card to the police station. He swears he's not doing it on purpose. Everyone, his brother, the police officers and himself included, are actually surprised when it turns out he did nothing wrong. Oh well, no ressentment. Rus waves them a good day on the way out, until next time.
Fellswap Gold Sans - He smirks when the police officers say they're here for him. They for sure don't like that and asks him to show his hands more aggressively. Wine simply says "No", wishes them a good day and closes the door. The police officers try to break down the door, but, uh, Wine put a bunch of bones behind it to keep it shut and now they are looking pretty stupid. Coffee is looking at them from the window, eating pop corn, entertained.
Fellswap Gold Papyrus - Coffee doesn't open the door, he saw them coming. He teleports in his closet and hides there. The police officers searched the all house... but didn't find him somehow. Coffee waits there until they're gone, then panic call Wine to tell him what happened. The next day, when they're coming back, Wine breaks their knees and asked them nicely to never come back.

More random headcanons and plot bunnies...
🌠 Draco and Harry becoming best friends and blood brothers after they finally get used to their new living situation. Draco opens up on how he was treated as a object, a tool for his father's political games and how he was essentially his birth mother's wife. Harry admits to being beat and treated like a slave. Severus just about blew his cover
🌠 Their abuelita (your mother) calling them her niños and taught them the all-powerful consequences of the chancla. You still laugh at the memory of Draco running to hide behind Severus's towering form only for the chancla your mother threw to completely swivel around Severus and hit Draco. They are convinced your mother is actually a witch (she's not, she's just mexican lol).
🌠 Severus feeling his heart full watching the boys, you, and Ma just hanging out in the yard listening to mexican music and teaching the boys how to dance, including him. He likes how close he can hold you to him while dancing a huapango.
🌠 your group of friends(weirdos) accepting Severus with open arms, accepting him as brother, and playing aunts/uncles to the boys. Severus forgets how old he is sometimes when you all gather together. 45 yrs? What 45, he's 24 :). Picking his brain and going toe to toe with him.
🌠 Severus panicking and furious because somehow Albus tracked him down and showed up unannounced at your job site while he waited in the car, demanding Harry to be returned along with the malfoy heir. He calls you and leaves the phone in his pocket so you can hear the convo.
🌠 Severus is amazed at the efficiency in the way la Familia moved. By the time Albus locates Harry using some obscure tracker, Harry and Draco had already been picked up from Tia Mellie's arcade downtown, transported to another relatives house. Which one? Who knows, there's like 1500 members in the midwest alone, some with underground connections. Also, the last reunion revealed that there are magical members within the family. So the hidey spell is a thing.
🌠 Severus making love to you and actually asking you to marry him. The spare room in the basement had been cleared out and converted so he could brew his potions. You say yes, and by the next morning as soon as the muggle courthouse opens, you exchange vows and him taking your name instead because "prince and snape have done nothing but bring misery"
🌠 Severus thrives with you and your family. His inner child being healed one trauma at a time. He was alone, isolated, and playing spy, and now he ended up with more family members and legit friends than he could shake a stick at. (Once your 70yr old mom pseudo adopted him, it was game over ♥️, he don't get a choice) Tios, tias, primos/primas calling and texting him. He started out with only your phone number and now has over 100 (the family size was at least 5000 and counting but who cares)
🌠 Work functions were hilarious watching the female (and male) coworkers salivate with envy because you (who accordinf to them rank low on the attraction scale) snagged a smexy, tall, intelligent, English guy. Severus still doesn't know how to react to the attention but was very attentive to your needs and openly loved on you (SFW you pervs)
🌠 final face off with Voldemort, Severus made sure to protect his family. He had sold everything and left a will, naming you the benefactor. Just as Nagini opened her mouth to attack, Severus noticed a bright red dot moving across her tongue before the snake exploded EVERYWHERE. Voldemort aims his wand at Severus, his head meets the same fate. Severus staggers back, unable to understand what happened. He stupefied Voldemort body and runs to the main entrance of hogwarts. He is greeted by the most astonishing sight. Death Eaters and other creatures lay dead or dropping faster than the spells being fired. he spots you front and center at the top of the astronomy tower, aiming what looks like a Tommy gun (sniper rifle he means). It's not just you but LA FAMILIA, all 5247 (or was it 5742?) on the balconies, windows, scaffolds, roof of hogwarts. The battle ends before it really began.
🌠turns out Hogwarts recognized the magic in your line, however diluted. The Chichimecca tribe your family line comes from possessed a rare form of earth magic. She allowed you and la Familia entry acknowledging your bond to Severus and the boys. No one threatened your family and got away with it. The M.O.M was in disbelief and unable to comprehend how a bunch of American muggles destroyed the evilest wizard in britain (mexican American thank you very much)
🌠 Severus kissing you desperately and hungrily in front of everyone because he wanted to yell at you, laugh, cry, you name it. You didn't tell him your plan but God damn if it wasn't fucking hot seeing you in battle mode, the dark side he never saw or thought existed. He will absolutely keep you locked in the bedroom until both of you couldn't move an inch and got you pregnant.
🌠Draco parents survived only because you told la Familia that they were cebollita's real folks (they called him cebollita(little onion) because of how pale skinned, fair haired, and light eyes he was). Draco, after several days, and while his birth parents faced trial, formally disowned himself from the line and accepted your adoption proposal, but not before taking every last Malfoy penny left. Harry also confronted those who were supposedly on his side and also made the choice to leave. Harry pulled all his family’s backing and also accepted the adoption.
🌠Severus ended up faking his death at the threat of incarceration because Albus refused to vouch for his role. He made it look like suicide using polyjuice and a golem. He had already sold everything and the things he kept were already back in the US. Gringotts allowed you to formally claim your 'husband's wealth'. Transferring it to the American branch.
🌠One of your cousins set Severus up with a false identity: Imacaxtli (eee- mah-cah-shhht-lee) (your last name) . He was a widow, his 'spouse' died in a mass shooting years ago. It was super normal to bond through the grief support group. It was a mere coincidence that his spouse was a cousin on your dad's side and he had made the decision to take their last name because "I have plenty of brothers to carry my families line"
🌠Severus ditching his whole persona (for the most part). He grew his beard out, gained more muscle and filled out more, wore his hair in whatever style you cut for him (you decided to go back to being a dual cosmetologist/esthetician). He developed an appreciation for muggle ink. His arms and chest tattooed, with more to come. Still wore black but now stuck jeans, t-shirts, etc (basically a modern muggle bad boy vibe) completely unrecognizable. He also mastered speaking Spanish, he even nailed having stereotypical chicano accent.
🌠 Draco and Harry pursuing careers and living life found love in the mexican hometown their abuetlita was from, opting to live in mexico, visiting often. Severus and you had so many children, couldn't keep his hands off you. He was happy being a stay at home dad. He did work, though, aside from potions, he gave tatting a try and found he liked it.
🌠his artwork adorned your skin, his real name etched over your heart and yours over his, rings were cumbersome.
🌠 when you're mom died at 95, the men were inconsolable. You had already lost your dad prior to meeting Sev, you took hers a little better. Severus was so lost in grief. He had lost the only mother who loved him and cared, eileen snape merely gave birth to him. Harry and Draco mourned for their one and only abuelita. They would crawl into her old bed and cry themselves to sleep hugging each other. Sometimes Severus laid in it, sobbing his heart out. The funeral had been huge, la Familia all in attendance as the last elder passed.
