ae feel like everyone ae know, whether a little or a lot, is getting sick or injured lately. like some sort of curse
excuse us, great gods of the universe, can you lay back on that shit? ae’m kinda trying to heal and regenerate the numb voids left behind by trauma with the power of friendship and love and the idea that one is cared for thank you very much
#at one point our thought process was ‘we’re a danger to people. we need to isolate ourselves forever#and we will go insane from the loneliness but that is okay. the world will be protected’#and now it’s ‘FUCK OFF AE’M TRYNA FRIENDSHIP OVER HERE’#ae feel like that’s an improvement#(and ae have to emphasize: this is not a sudden turn of events#it took us nearly a year just to get to this point#it’s a hard fought battle and it takes a while basically#but progress is clearly being made so why stop now? why not see how far it can go?)

Cooking with chaos
Ambessa x Fem!reader
context: Ambessa tries cooking for you.

The savory aroma of spices filled the air as you stepped into the kitchen only to freeze at the scene before you. Seeing Ambessa with her brows furrowed in concentration Flour dusted her hands and streaked her cheek while several pots bubbled away on the stove had you shocked.
“Ambessa?” you asked cautiously trying not to laugh. “What is umm happening here?”
She glanced over her shoulder clearly startled by your sudden appearance. “You weren’t supposed to see this yet.”
“See what? The aftermath of a kitchen war?” you teased stepping closer to survey the damage. Your eyes scanned over the countertop which was a mess of chopped vegetables scattered spices and what looked like an abandoned recipe book with a splash of sauce on its cover.
“I’m cooking dinner” she said her tone defensive but her expression betraying a hint of embarrassment.
“You? Cooking?” The disbelief in your voice was impossible to hide.
She turned back to the stove giving one of the pots a strong stir. “I’ve fought in countless battles. How hard could cooking be?”
You couldn’t help but laugh leaning against the counter as you watched her. “And how’s that working out for you?”
“It’s… under control” she replied though the growing plume of smoke from the oven suggested otherwise.
“Ambessa” you said crossing the kitchen and opening the oven door to reveal a charred tray of what was once bread. “This doesn’t look like control my love.”
She groaned a taking her hand and scratching her head leaving a flour mark. “I just wanted to do something for you” she admitted her voice softening. “You’re always the one making things special and I thought I could return the favor.”
Your teasing smile melted into something more affectionate. “That’s really sweet love. But maybe cooking isn’t exactly your specialty .”
She sighed stepping back from the stove and crossing her arms. “Apparently not.”
“Well” you said grabbing a spoon to taste one of the bubbling pots. You grimaced slightly at the overwhelming saltiness but quickly covered it with a smile. “It’s… edible. Kind of.”
Ambessa let out a rare laugh her tension easing as she leaned against the counter. “You’re too kind.”
“Tell you what” you offered grabbing an apron and tying it around your waist. “Why don’t we salvage what we can together? I’ll teach you a few tricks and maybe next time your dinner won’t look like a food fight.”
She raised an eyebrow her lips curving into a smirk. “You think you can teach me? Bold of you.”
“Someone has to” you shot back nudging her playfully as you moved to take over the stove.
For the next hour the two of you worked side by side. You guided her through the basics showing her how to balance flavors and avoid setting the oven ablaze. Despite her grumbles Ambessa followed your instructions with surprising patience.
By the time dinner was ready the kitchen looked slightly less like a food fight and the table was set with plates of food that were delicious.
As you sat down to eat Ambessa raised her glass her expression soft and sincere. “To my greatest teacher” she said a rare twinkle of humor in her eyes.
“To my bravest student” you replied with a grin clinking your glass against hers.
The meal tasted even better knowing how much effortand lovehad gone into it.
“THE END”

you can also do Orion pax/Optimus prime x cybertroniana reader, both were a couple before the war, and they still follow him on Earth
TFP! Optimus Having A Longtime S/O
Character: Optimus Prime (Transformers Prime) Requester: @zinnia1506 A/N: I love this trope. Just a calm and nonchalant boyfriend x his loving and slightly-feral S/O! Anyways, I hope you like this. ⚠️ Spoilers/Trigger Warnings for: The ending of the show and Predcons Rising Film ⚠️
Fun fact: I wrote this listening to Lion King/Guard songs😂
••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●••●•
»»——————————- Optimus Prime ——————————-««
⚔️ Optimus doesn't have that many people left, at least people that he knows that are currently alive. He knew more friends were deceased than alive basically
⚔️ Though, he does have someone alive that he cares the most about; his adorable S/O. You.
⚔️ Meeting back when he was still Orion Pax and a young data clerk working inside of the Iacon and you were the current Grand Diplomat of Alpha Trion's rule as Cybertron's Council's head
⚔️ You had to deliver some information in pads to the place to get organized, and when the young bot smiled and allowed you inside to organize them to how Alpha Trion wished, you began to ask about his life
⚔️ As you began to speak from time-to-time whenever you visited with more classified documents, a bond was formed quick. While many solar cycles passed, the pair of young bots were ogled on by many elders, especially Orion's friend, Megatronus, and your boss, Alpha Trion
⚔️ You were there when Megatronus, now Megatron, was denied in favor of Orion. And you were right by his side when the war blasted off and you soared away with his small team to Earth in hopes of finding something to help with the war and your home planet
⚔️ And while you two would spend many of your days by one another, as the war progressed, that was becoming harder and harder. Thankfully, your teammates would get you two to spend time together by taking some work away from your servos
⚔️ Now, when it comes to missions, you guys almost always go together. Very rarely are you apart in battle. And whenever you go without him, he keeps solid contact with you, and whenever he doesn't get a decent reply, he gets worried beyond recognition
⚔️ During the time fighting against Megatron for the final time, you were help hostage with Ratchet. Being held not for assistance in finalizing the synthetic energon, but for your information on fixing Cybertron, in which you told Megatron to piss off and jump down a hole to a scrapheap
⚔️ Unlike Ratchet, you weren't given to Predaking to kill, rather, you were held in a cell surrounded by Vehicon soldiers. In a matter of minutes, you had gone from acting unconscious to wrapping your legs around on soldiers neck from behind and killing all around you. Think of that scene from The Suicide Squad (2021) when Harley broke out
(Here's a link for reference: Link) - warnings for A LOT blood and death!
⚔️ Optimus was very pleased when he saw both you and Ratchet okay, but when he saw a Vehicon attempt attacking you, he blasted him to the Well of the Allspark. Despite this, you fought brilliantly against the many soldiers against you
⚔️ You also showed a new depth of rhythmicity, from attacking Megatron from behind as Optimus took the front. And before you were knocked aside roughly and your sparkmate was hanging onto the Nemesis, everyone, including Decepticons, were shocked at how in-sync you two were. You really were sparkmates
⚔️ Bumblebee then killed Megatron, making you leap in joy and help him get your sparkmate up and onto the ship's base. You held the mech closely as you cheered with the rest of your team about the win against the Cons
⚔️ Throughout the rest of your lives together, you spent it fighting against Unicron. And while it was hard for you to say goodbye to your lover of many hundreds of years, you couldn't help but shed a tear when his red, white, and blue spark spun around you and acted as if he was pecking your forehead
⚔️ The others watched with smiles as you kissed the spark before watching it fly away. Ratchet patted your shoulder as Bee and the other, including Knockout, gathered around you in a large group hug. You were a family no matter what, thanks to the mech you called your one and only...
"I love you, Y/N..."

The journey had been long and exhausting. The days spent on horseback had worn down your body and spirit, but you couldn’t allow yourself to stop. You knew that the farther you were from Kattegat, the safer you would be. Now, with the settlement in sight, a mix of relief and fear washed over you.
The place was small, barely a dozen wooden houses with thatched roofs, scattered irregularly around a gently flowing river. The sound of the water, the scent of the pines, and the distant birdsong offered a peace you hadn’t felt in weeks. It was a secluded corner of the world, far from prying eyes and rumors. Here, no one knew you. Here, you could start anew.
As you reached the edge of the settlement, a group of children playing with improvised bows stopped to look at you. Their laughter ceased, and their wide, curious eyes examined you as if you were an apparition. An older woman appeared behind them, drying her hands on an apron. Her gray hair was tied in a messy bun, and her face was marked by deep wrinkles.
“Who are you, and what do you want here?” she asked in a rough but not hostile voice.
“My name is…” You hesitated for a moment. Should you give your real name? You decided to keep things simple. “I’m a traveler. I’m looking for a place to stay.”
The woman scrutinized you, as if assessing whether you were a threat. Finally, she nodded. “We don’t have much here, but we also don’t turn away those who need help. Come, we’ll speak with the settlement’s leader.”
She led you to a cabin larger than the others, situated near the river. There you met Eirik, the leader of the small group living in the settlement. He was a robust man with a thick beard and eyes that seemed to read everything you were trying to hide. However, he didn’t ask unnecessary questions. After hearing you explain that you needed a place to stay, he simply nodded.
“There’s an abandoned cabin on the edge of the settlement,” he said. “It’s not in the best condition, but if you can work to fix it up, it’s yours. In return, we expect you to help out however you can. Everyone here contributes.”
You accepted with gratitude, relieved by the lack of interrogation. That same afternoon, you were taken to the cabin that would be your home.
The cabin was in ruins. The roof had holes that let sunlight through, and the door barely hung on one of its hinges. The interior was filled with dust and cobwebs, but you didn’t care. To you, it was a refuge.
With the help of a woman named Astrid, you began cleaning the place. She was a kind woman with calloused hands and a warm smile. “Don’t worry, we’ll fix it. All of us here have been through hard times. This place is a fresh start for many,” she told you as she energetically swept the floor.
Little by little, the cabin started to take shape. A man named Gunnar, who was a carpenter, helped you repair the roof and door, while other women brought you blankets and some basic utensils. Although you felt uneasy about the kindness of others, you accepted their help. You had no other choice.
The following days were a whirlwind of activity. You joined the women in daily tasks: gathering berries, tending to animals, and maintaining the homes. Though your farming skills were limited, you quickly learned. Astrid became a sort of mentor, teaching you how to identify useful plants in the forest and prepare meals with the few resources they had.
At night, the settlement gathered around a central bonfire. You listened to the elders’ stories of times past, battles fought, and loves lost. Though you tried to keep to yourself, you sometimes felt the curious gazes of others. You knew they were intrigued by you, by your story, but you appreciated that they respected your silence.
Over time, you began to feel like part of the place. Not as someone who belonged there, but as someone who had found a space to breathe.
However, the nights were difficult. When you were alone in the cabin, the silence enveloped you like a heavy cloak. You found yourself instinctively touching your belly, dreaming of the future you had imagined for your child. The solitude was a constant reminder of what you had left behind: your home, your parents, and Ragnar.
You wondered if he was looking for you, if he suspected why you had left. Sometimes, a sharp pain struck you when you remembered his smile, his laughter, and the weight of his gaze that always seemed to see beyond your words. But you shook off those thoughts. Ragnar belonged to another life, one you had left behind to protect what you carried within.
Meanwhile, in Kattegat, Ragnar paced back and forth in the main hall of his house, his jaw clenched and his hands balled into fists. Weeks had passed since he returned to Kattegat and discovered you were gone. No one had given him a clear explanation. No one could or would tell him why you had left everything behind.
Your parents had been his first stop, of course. When he asked them directly, your mother avoided his gaze, and your father, rigid as a wall, only gave him vague answers.
“She needed space,” your father had said tensely. “She left to find her own path.”
Ragnar was not a man easily deceived. His blue eyes gleamed with suspicion as he watched them both. “Where did she go? Tell me the truth.”
“We don’t even know,” your mother replied, and for the first time in that conversation, Ragnar saw some truth in her words. She seemed worried, even fearful, as she spoke.
“How is that possible? She’s your daughter,” he retorted, his voice filled with frustration.
“The only thing we know,” your father interjected, “is that she asked us not to tell anyone anything. Not even you.”
That confession hit Ragnar like a hammer. Had you specifically asked to keep him in the dark? Why? The thought that you had deliberately excluded him from your life left him cold. However, he refused to believe that was the whole truth.
As time passed, his obsession only grew. Ragnar spent every spare moment wondering what he had done to make you leave. Images of your last encounters replayed in his mind: your evasive answers, the glances you avoided, your evident exhaustion.
“What are you hiding from me?” he muttered to himself at night, as anger and frustration built in his chest.
He sought answers elsewhere. He questioned merchants and travelers who came to Kattegat, describing you in precise detail: your hair, your smile, even the way you walked. But no one knew anything.
His behavior began to affect everyone around him. Lagertha watched him silently, noticing how his attention drifted further away. One night, she finally confronted him.
“Ragnar, what’s happening to you?” she asked, crossing her arms in front of him. “You seem more concerned about a woman who’s no longer here than about your own family.”
“You don’t understand,” he replied, his tone harsh enough to surprise Lagertha. “She left without saying anything. Something’s not right. I need to know what happened.”
“Why do you care so much? She has her own life. Are you so dissatisfied here that you’re looking for something else elsewhere?”
Lagertha’s words were cutting, and Ragnar knew she was partly right. But he couldn’t explain the depth of what he felt because even he didn’t fully understand it. Something about your departure unsettled him, something he couldn’t ignore.
The days turned into weeks, and Ragnar’s frustration grew. Though he continued to fulfill his duties as a leader, there was a shadow on his face he couldn’t hide. At night, when the rest of Kattegat slept, Ragnar sat by the fire, staring at the flames and remembering every detail of you.
Your laughter. The way you tilted your head when lost in thought. The times your eyes sparkled in a way that seemed to challenge the entire world.
But he also remembered the signs he had ignored: the times you avoided looking at him directly, the moments when it seemed like you wanted to say something but stopped at the last moment. Had you been planning your departure all along?
“It can’t be,” he murmured to himself. “She wouldn’t have left like that.”
One day, after another failed attempt to get answers from your parents, Ragnar made a decision. If he couldn’t find you in Kattegat, he would have to look beyond its borders.
He spoke to some of his trusted men, explaining that he needed to go on a journey. Though he didn’t share all the details, his determination was clear. Lagertha watched from a distance as he prepared to leave, her eyes full of disapproval.
“How long will these useless searches take?” she asked, confronting him before he left. “You have responsibilities here, Ragnar. A family. If you keep acting as if none of this matters, you’ll end up losing everything.”
Ragnar looked at her but didn’t respond. He knew her words carried weight, but he couldn’t stay. Something inside him wouldn’t let him.
And so, with the sound of horse hooves echoing against the ground, Ragnar left Kattegat, determined to find you, no matter how long it took or how far you were.
Months had passed since your arrival, and although you had adapted to the routine of the place, exhaustion weighed on your body. The pregnancy made the days heavier, slower, but you couldn’t allow yourself to rest. You needed to prove you were useful, that you deserved a place in this remote corner of the world.
That morning, as always, you got up early. The air was cold, and a thin layer of frost covered the grass. You felt slightly dizzy but ignored it. You had learned to hide any sign of weakness; after all, no one could suspect what you carried within.
The work in the fields was arduous. The tools were rudimentary, and the soil seemed to resist every effort. But you had grown accustomed to this type of struggle: one not against others but against your own limitations.
You were gathering roots when it happened. As you bent down, you lost your balance. Perhaps it was exhaustion or a lack of attention, but you tripped over a hidden stone and fell to your knees. The impact was brutal, sending sharp pain through your abdomen. You stayed still for a moment, trying to catch your breath as the world spun around you.
“Are you all right?” Astrid’s voice reached you like a distant echo. She helped you to your feet, her eyes filled with concern.
“Yes, I’m fine,” you lied, forcing a smile. But the cold sweat running down your back betrayed the truth.
That night, the pain intensified. A persistent stabbing sensation in your abdomen forced you to double over, but still, you didn’t ask for help. The fear of your secret being discovered was greater than your fear of the pain.
However, when the fever began to take hold of your body, you could no longer hide it. Astrid, who had noticed your pallor during the day, was the first to enter your cabin. Seeing your condition, she ran to fetch Sigrid, the settlement’s healer.
Sigrid was an imposing woman, with steady hands and an expression that left no room for doubt. When she arrived, she found you trembling in your bed, your breathing shallow, and your cheeks burning with fever. Without saying a word, she began examining your body, her fingers searching for signs to confirm what you already feared.
“How long have you been like this?” she asked, her tone stern.
“I don’t know,” you murmured, unable to meet her eyes.
Sigrid frowned and placed a hand on your abdomen. Her gaze darkened. “You’re young, but your body is weak. And this…” Her words trailed off, but her expression said it all.
For two days, you fought the fever, drifting in and out of consciousness. You heard fragments of conversations around you: Astrid’s worried voice, Sigrid’s firm instructions. You felt the weight of cold compresses on your forehead and the bitter taste of the herbs they forced you to drink.
But everything changed on the second night. The pain became unbearable, a fire that seemed to consume you from within. You tried to scream, but your voice came out as a choked whimper. Sigrid stayed by your side the entire time, her steady hands holding you as your body struggled against something it could no longer sustain.
When it was over, the room fell silent. A heavy silence, laden with sorrow. Sigrid wiped her hands with a cloth and looked at you with an expression that was half compassion, half resignation.
“I’m sorry,” she said simply.
You didn’t need further explanations. You had lost it.
The physical pain was intense, but the emotional pain was unbearable. For days, you could barely move. You spent hours lying in your bed, staring at the cabin’s ceiling as a sense of emptiness consumed you.
You had made so many decisions thinking of protecting your child, and now everything seemed pointless. You had lost everything: your home, your family, Ragnar… and now your baby.
Astrid became your only company. She brought you food and water, though you barely ate. “You need to take care of yourself,” she would say, but her words felt hollow. What was the point of taking care of yourself when there was nothing left to fight for?
At night, silence was both your solace and your greatest torment. You closed your eyes and saw your baby’s face, even though you had never met them. You wondered if they would have had Ragnar’s eyes or your smile. But those dreams always shattered under the weight of reality.
As the weeks passed, the settlement returned to its routine, but you felt disconnected. The laughter of children tore at your soul, and every time you saw a mother with her child, a pang of pain shot through your chest.
Astrid, who had proven to be more than a friend, forced you to get up one day. “You can’t stay here forever,” she said, with a harshness you didn’t expect. “The world doesn’t stop for our pain. You have to move forward.”
Although you resisted at first, you knew she was right. You couldn’t stay in the cabin forever, trapped in your grief. So, little by little, you returned to working in the fields, though every step was a reminder of what you had lost.
Still, something inside you had changed. A part of you had died along with your child, and you knew you would never be the same again.
Meanwhile, the sound of Ragnar’s horse hooves echoed across the rocky terrain as he approached another settlement, his face hardened by a mixture of hope and frustration. He had spent months traveling roads, speaking to merchants, explorers, and villagers. Each time he heard a rumor, no matter how vague, he followed it.
This time was no different. A merchant who had passed through a remote settlement mentioned seeing a woman matching the description Ragnar had repeated countless times: dark hair, a sad look, a strange determination in her movements. It wasn’t a certainty, but Ragnar couldn’t afford to ignore it.
The journey to the settlement was long, and Ragnar undertook it alone. His men had grown tired of the fruitless searches, and Lagertha no longer hid her disapproval. Yet he couldn’t give up. There was something about your absence that tormented him, a void no battle or conquest could fill.
When Ragnar arrived at the settlement, his eyes scanned quickly, searching among the passing faces. It was a small place, similar to many others he had visited: humble cabins, cultivated fields, and inhabitants working silently.
He spent hours observing, speaking to locals, and trying to remain calm. At first, no one seemed to know anything. Most of the villagers looked at him cautiously, as if suspicious of his presence. But when he mentioned a woman who had arrived alone, an old woman working near the river lifted her gaze.
“There is a woman,” she said in a hoarse voice. “She arrived a few months ago. She doesn’t talk much and works hard, but she always seems… lost.”
Ragnar felt a spark of hope surge through him. “Where is she?” he asked, trying to control the urgency in his voice.
The old woman shook her head. “I don’t know. I haven’t seen her in weeks. They say she got sick. Perhaps she left, or…” Her voice trailed off, as if unwilling to finish the sentence.
Ragnar felt the ground shift beneath his feet. Could it be true? Were you sick? Had you died? The thought struck him harder than he expected.
Not finding you at the settlement was a harsh blow. Ragnar had arrived there hoping to see you, even if only from afar, to confirm you were all right. Instead, all he found were more questions.
The journey back to Kattegat was somber. Ragnar couldn’t help but wonder if he should abandon his search. He had spent months following a trail that seemed to vanish into thin air. Yet the thought of giving up filled him with an unbearable emptiness.
When he returned home, Lagertha was waiting at the entrance, arms crossed. Her expression was serious, but there was a flicker of concern in her eyes.
“Well?” she asked, her voice sharp.
“She wasn’t there,” Ragnar replied, removing his cloak and dropping his bag to the floor.
“How much longer will you keep this up?” Lagertha demanded, stepping closer to him. “People are starting to talk. They see you more obsessed with a woman who isn’t here than with your own family.”
Ragnar looked at her with an intensity that made her pause. “You don’t understand, Lagertha. I can’t ignore this. She… I can’t explain it, but I feel something isn’t right. Something happened.”
“And perhaps you’ll never know,” she replied, her tone softening. “Perhaps it’s time to leave the past behind and look ahead.”
But Ragnar couldn’t. Though he didn’t tell Lagertha, something else haunted him: the sense that you had left to protect something, to hide something important. And until he had answers, he couldn’t let it go.
His search didn’t end, just as your search for peace hadn’t either.
Though the wounds still hurt both physical and emotional you knew you couldn’t let them consume you forever. You had spent months buried in your grief, refusing to look toward the future, but something within you a spark of life still clinging to the present urged you to rise from the bed.
Your body was weaker than before. The fever and the loss had left their mark, but they had also taught you to value what you still had: the chance to move forward.
Astrid was the first to notice the change in you. “I’m glad to see you on your feet,” she said one morning as you shared breakfast. Her warm smile reminded you that, although you had lost so much, there were still people who cared about you.
The settlement was small, but its inhabitants were hardworking and supportive. A family that raised goats and sheep, the Ingvarssons, offered you work in exchange for food and a bit more stability. At first, you hesitated. The pain remained a constant weight, and you worried you wouldn’t meet their expectations. But you accepted, knowing you couldn’t rely on others forever.
The first days were tough. The work with the animals was exhausting, and many nights you came home with your hands full of scratches and your muscles tense. But there was something comforting in the routine: feeding the goats, caring for the newborn lambs, feeling the warmth of the animals as you helped them thrive.
“You’re good with them,” Ingrid, the matriarch of the family, said while watching you clean the stable. Her words surprised you. You had spent so much time feeling useless, as if everything you tried ended in failure, that hearing a compliment left you speechless.
“Thank you,” you finally replied, feeling a strange warmth in your chest.
Over time, you started to integrate more into the settlement. The neighbors stopped seeing you as a stranger and began greeting you as you passed by. They invited you to small gatherings, where they shared stories and songs around the fire. Though at first, you felt out of place, you soon realized that you enjoyed those nights, the laughter, and the company.
Astrid was always by your side, making sure you didn’t feel alone. There was something about her presence that gave you strength, as if she knew exactly when you needed a push or a moment of silence.
However, despite the new beginnings, you couldn’t stop thinking about what you had lost. On quiet nights, when the settlement slept and the only sound was the murmur of the nearby river, you allowed yourself to remember.
You had kept a small baby garment that you had secretly sewn during the first months of your pregnancy. It was a small wool vest, simple but made with love. You kept it hidden in a corner of your cabin, wrapped in a clean cloth.
Every time you took it out, you held it between your hands as if it were the only bridge to the child you never got to know. You couldn’t bring yourself to get rid of it. It was your only tangible connection to the life you had lost, a reminder of what could have been.
There were nights when you found yourself whispering to the air, as if the spirit of your baby could hear you. “I’m sorry,” you said, the words filled with guilt and sadness. “I wanted to protect you, but I failed.”
Despite your efforts to leave the past behind, Ragnar kept appearing in your thoughts. You wondered where he was, if he still thought about you or if he had already forgotten you. You had decided to leave to protect yourself and the baby, but sometimes you wondered if you had made a mistake by not trusting him.
There were moments when you wished he were with you, that he would hug you and tell you that everything would be okay. But you knew those thoughts were pointless. Ragnar had his own life, his own family, and you were no longer a part of it.
The months passed, and with them came a sense of stability. Though the wounds would never completely disappear, you learned to find comfort in the small things: the aroma of freshly baked bread, the laughter of the children in the settlement, the satisfaction of a job well done.
You had become an important part of the community. The Ingvarsson family spoke of you as if you were part of their family, and the other inhabitants of the settlement came to you whenever they needed help with something. You had built a new life, one that, though not perfect, gave you some peace.
However, every time you held the small wool vest between your hands, you felt that a part of you was still waiting. Waiting for something you didn’t even know how to describe.
And though you tried not to think about it, you knew your story with Ragnar was not over. The thread that connected you both was still there, tight and silent, waiting for the right moment to stretch again.
Days later, the day had begun like any other in the settlement. The fresh air filled your lungs as you worked in the fields, your hands accustomed to the weight of the tools and the constant rhythm of the work. The sun was high in the sky, and though sweat beaded on your forehead, you felt at peace. You had learned to find comfort in the routine, in the simplicity of the life you had built.
However, that peace was shattered the moment a figure appeared on the horizon.
At first, you didn’t pay much attention. It was common for solitary travelers to pass through the settlement, looking for provisions or a place to rest. But as the figure drew closer, something in you began to tense. There was something familiar in their walk, in the way they held their head high and their shoulders firm.
When you finally looked up to observe them more closely, your heart seemed to stop.
It was him.
Ragnar walked toward you with a determined step, his face marked by time and an endless search. Though years had passed, you recognized him instantly. His eyes were still the same: intense, filled with a mixture of determination and emotions you couldn’t decipher.
You dropped the tool you had in your hands, unable to move. Everything you had worked to bury the pain, the guilt, the love you still harbored deep in your heart surfaced all at once, hitting you like a furious wave.
Ragnar stopped a few meters away from you, his gaze fixed on yours. For a moment, neither of you spoke. The silence was heavy, laden with unsaid emotions.
“Why?” was the first thing he said, his voice low but filled with reproach.
You didn’t need him to explain what he meant. You knew.
“Ragnar…” you whispered, but you couldn’t say more. The words seemed to stick in your throat.
“No,” he interrupted, taking a step toward you. “Don’t say my name as if that could fix anything. I searched for you. For years, I searched for you.”
His tone was rough, and you could see the mix of pain and anger in his eyes. “Do you know how much time I’ve spent wondering why you left? Why you didn’t say anything? Didn’t I deserve to know?”
His words pierced you, but they also sparked something inside you. All the pain and guilt you had silently carried for so long began to transform into anger.
“And what did you want me to say, Ragnar?” you snapped, your voice trembling with emotion. “That I was pregnant with your child while you had your wife and your perfect life in Kattegat? That I was terrified of what others would say, of what my parents would think? What would have changed if you had known?”
“Everything,” he replied without hesitation.
His words took your breath away for a moment, but you refused to let him disarm you.
“That’s not true,” you said, crossing your arms. “You would have gone on with your life, and I would have been a burden. The only thing I did was protect myself and… and the baby.”
The silence that followed was deafening. Ragnar furrowed his brow, as if processing what you had said. His eyes searched yours, and for a moment, you saw something beyond the anger: pain.
“Where is it?” he asked finally, his voice barely a whisper.
Your heart broke upon hearing that question. You looked down, unable to meet his gaze. “I don’t know,” you murmured. “I lost it.”
Ragnar seemed to stagger, as if your words were a physical blow. His hands clenched into fists at his sides, and he closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened them, there was something broken in his expression.
“You didn’t tell me anything,” he repeated, his voice barely contained. “You stole the chance for me to know, to be there. You took away the chance for me to be its father.”
His words hit you hard, but you couldn’t let him blame you for everything. “And what would your presence have done, Ragnar? Would it have prevented it from dying? Would it have changed what happened?”
“Maybe not,” he admitted, his voice softer but still full of reproach. “But I would have been with you. You shouldn’t have gone through this alone.”
Ragnar’s words left you speechless. A part of you knew he was right, but another part was too hurt, too tired to admit it. You had done what you thought was necessary to protect yourself, to protect the baby, and though you knew it hadn’t been perfect, it was the best you could do at that moment.
“Ragnar, I… I can’t do this,” you said finally, your voice breaking. “I’ve spent years trying to rebuild my life. I can’t dig all of this up again.”
Ragnar looked at you with an intensity that made you feel naked, exposed. “I’m not here to destroy what you’ve built,” he said finally, his tone softer. “But I can’t ignore what happened, and I can’t ignore you. You… you still mean something to me.”
His words left a lump in your throat. You had waited so long to hear them, but now that you did, you didn’t know how to feel.
The rest of the day was a whirlwind of emotions. Ragnar didn’t leave, and you didn’t know how to deal with his presence. Everything you had worked to forget seemed to return with force, threatening to break down the barriers you had built around your heart.
Despite everything, you knew this encounter was only the beginning. Ragnar wasn’t someone who gave up easily, and now that he had found you, he wouldn’t leave without answers.
As the sun began to set on the horizon, you felt a mix of fear and hope. The past had returned, and though you didn’t know how to face what was to come, a part of you knew this encounter would change your life forever.
The days following the reunion with Ragnar were a whirlwind of emotions and conflicts. His presence in the settlement shook your entire world, disturbing the balance you had worked so hard to build. Although you tried to stay firm in your decision to stay, Ragnar kept insisting that you return with him to Kattegat.
Ragnar was not a man who easily accepted a 'no.' Every conversation between the two of them turned into an intense argument, full of emotions and reproaches.
“You don't understand what you're asking,” you said one night, as the light from the fireplace illuminated the small space of your cabin. “I’ve worked for years to find peace here. I can’t go back and face everything I left behind.”
“And you think I found peace without you?” he replied, his voice low but filled with intensity. “I didn’t ask you to leave, I didn’t ask you to exclude me from your life. I don’t understand why you prefer to live among strangers rather than with the people who love you.”
“The people who love me?,” you repeated, incredulous. “Are you talking about you? About your parents? About Lagertha? How do you think my life would have been there? Always pointed at, always a secret.”
Ragnar clenched his lips, his eyes fixed on yours. “I don’t want you to be a secret,” he said finally, and his words took your breath away.
But you couldn’t let yourself be carried away by them. You couldn’t forget what you had gone through, or all that you had sacrificed.
Despite your constant refusals, Ragnar kept insisting. Not just for you, but because he wanted you to say goodbye to your parents. “You owe them that,” he said in a tone that left no room for argument.
He was right, though it was hard to admit. You had left your parents without clear explanations, forcing them to carry the burden of your disappearance. You had avoided thinking about how they must have felt, but now that Ragnar brought it up, the guilt began to weigh heavily on you.
Finally, after days of arguments, you agreed to go with him to Kattegat. “Just to say goodbye,” you clarified, looking at him firmly. “This doesn’t mean I’m staying.”
Ragnar nodded but said no more. You knew this was just the first step for him.
The journey to Kattegat was long and silent. You traveled together, but barely spoke. Ragnar seemed focused, his thoughts hidden behind a mask of seriousness. As for you, you felt a constant knot in your stomach. Each step toward Kattegat felt like a weight pressing harder and harder on you.
When you finally arrived, the settlement seemed the same as always. The wooden houses, the docks, the bustle of the people; everything was intact, as if time had not passed. But for you, everything felt different. You had changed, and this place no longer felt like home.
The tension became evident as soon as Ragnar took you to his house. Lagertha was there, and her expression upon seeing you was anything but welcoming.
“What is she doing here?,” she asked, giving Ragnar a cold look.
“She’s come to say goodbye to her family,” he replied calmly, as though his tone could placate the evident hostility in the room.
Lagertha studied you closely, her blue eyes analyzing every detail of your face. “And why does she need your company for that?.”
You didn’t want to cause more problems than there already were. “Lagertha,” you began, trying to sound conciliatory, “I’m not here to stay. I just came to close a chapter of my life.”
“A chapter Ragnar seems too eager to dig up,” she retorted, her tone sharp.
Ragnar intervened before the argument could escalate. “This isn’t about you or me. This is about her and what she needs to do.”
Though his words seemed reasonable, they did little to calm things down. Lagertha remained silent, but you could feel the tension in her posture, in the way she avoided looking at you.
Seeing your parents was an emotional blow you hadn’t expected. Your mother hugged you tightly, tears running down her cheeks as she repeated your name as if she couldn’t believe you were there. Your father, more reserved, simply took you by the shoulders and nodded, his eyes shining with restrained emotion.
“We thought we would never see you again,” your mother said through her sobs. “Why did you leave without telling us where you were going?.”
You had no answer for them. All you could do was apologize, promising that it hadn’t been due to a lack of love.
The conversation was long and difficult. Your parents wanted you to stay, but you remained firm in your decision to return to the settlement. “This is no longer my home,” you told them, though the words broke your heart.
While you stayed in Kattegat, even if only for a short time, the tension between you, Ragnar, and Lagertha only grew. Ragnar tried to keep the peace, but his constant efforts to talk to you did not go unnoticed by Lagertha, who became colder with each passing day.
One night, Lagertha confronted Ragnar privately, but the walls weren’t thick enough to silence their words. “Why do you keep insisting on this?,” she asked, her voice full of anger. “What do you hope to achieve by bringing her here?.”
“I don’t hope to achieve anything,” Ragnar replied, though his tone betrayed the truth. “I’m just trying to fix what was broken.”
“You can’t fix everything, Ragnar,”
she shot back. “And if you keep trying, you’ll only break more.”
The time you spent in Kattegat was brief but intense. Although you managed to say goodbye to your parents and some of the people you had left behind, you couldn’t ignore the tension your presence created. Ragnar continued insisting that you stay, but you were determined to return to the settlement.
“This is not my place,” you told him one night, as you both stood in silence near the harbor. “You have your life here, and I have mine there.”
“It’s not that simple,” he replied, but he didn’t try to convince you anymore.
The days you spent in Kattegat after your arrival were filled with tension, and although you had planned to return to the settlement soon, Ragnar had other plans for you. It was on a quiet afternoon, while walking alone near the docks, that he approached you with a proposal that would change the course of everything: he wanted you to accompany him on his next journey.
“What do you say?,” he asked, with that mix of seriousness and enthusiasm that so characterized him. His eyes shone with an intensity that made it hard to look away.
“I don’t know if it’s a good idea,” you replied, crossing your arms. “I’ve only been here a few days. Going with you would complicate things even more.”
“What things?,” he asked, smiling slightly. “Lagertha? Me? Don’t worry about that. She understands that this journey is important.”
You knew that wasn’t entirely true. Lagertha wasn’t someone who accepted things easily, especially when it came to you. Still, there was something in the proposal that attracted you. You missed the feeling of traveling, of exploring new horizons, of losing yourself in unfamiliar landscapes. As much as you had built a peaceful life in the settlement, a part of you still longed for that freedom.
“Why do you want me to go?,” you finally asked, eyeing him warily.
Ragnar remained silent for a moment, as if searching for the right words. “Because I think you need this as much as I do,” he said sincerely. “And because I want you to be with me.”
His words were simple, but they struck something within you. Although you knew accepting it would bring consequences, you couldn’t resist.
“Fine,” you agreed with a sigh. “But if this goes wrong, it’ll be your fault.”
He smiled, satisfied with your answer. “We’ll see about that.”

Genya with a s/o who basically the enemy of Sanemi but loves Genya a lot headcanons?
Ngl, this request made me chuckle as it just made me picture genya trying to hold back his s/o from punching sanemi XD
Oh my god! Or the meme with the lady holding the dude while pointing at another dude XD
Thank you so much for requesting! Especially since I've not had many genya requests and its an honest to god crime....
Anyway!
I hope that you enjoy and that i've done your request justice, come back to request whenever you like as your more than welcome to return (^w^. )
Genya Shinazugawa with an S/O who's enemies with Sanemi - [Headcannons]
If Genya got paid every single time you and his brother fought, he'd be rich enough to buy you something fancy and a house - but he didn't so bargaining you away with promises of affection and snack would have to do...
You were so sweet with him - so kind and understanding and patient with him that the first time you'd held his hands he'd almost started sobbing
You just hated Sanemi.....
Like, really hated him - "He's an arsehole Gen!" You'd proclaimed hands vigorously scrubbing away at the dirt on the table after dinner "I hate him and his face!"
It was safe to say that Sanemi didn't really like you either but then again he didn't really like anyone to begin with... - "I hate your partners face Genya, (He/She/They) annoy me and I'd punch 'em at any given opportunity"
Your soft words of love (to Genya) turn to hard acid whenever Sanemi makes an appearance - thinly veiled threats and insults exchanged quickly - and Genya always has to take a step back from the poison you spit, thankful (and slightly amused) that it's never directed towards him
Beautiful Smile shifting into a battle-worn snarl (a flash of canine and a vein prominent in your forehead) as you enter a stance that's very reminiscent of a street brawler
9/10 you two end up brawling
It didn't matter where you two went - to the market, training grounds, a mission or on the way home - you somehow managed to lock on and find Sanemi
"I can just feel his annoying, smug energy and it makes me want to punch him"
Genya quickly finds himself developing a sanemi radar too - especially a radar that works whenever the two of you go out - that out ranks yours, specifically so he can whisk you both away before you spot him and a verbal altercation occurs
On the days where your both acting "nice" to each other (which is very rare) you and sanemi still make poorly concealed jabs at each other
In an effort to get the both of you to get along (even if its only slighty) Genya sometimes made you both wear a "getting along" kimono (much like the getting along t-shirt) so that you both weren't fighting
"If neither of you can be nice to each other for an hour, I'm not gonna speak to either of you for the rest of the day" which is quickly followed by you complaining before trying to get along with the enemy (aka. Sanemi)
Also you know the meme where there's a guy in a armchair and he asks the other dude to look at him before calling dude.2 bitch? yeah, thats you and sanemi when genya's not looking

can you do a conrad x reader and he meets yn at one of his moms chemo sessions- yn being a cancer patient- always sitting with susannah because she’s always wanted a mother figure so she starts spending time at the beach house and conrad falls for her pls!!
electric touch - c.f
summary: request
conrad fisher x reader
a/n: wanted to get this right for you, hope you enjoy <3
when susannah was first diagnosed, she went through extensive amounts of treatment to try and beat the cruel disease. luckily, it eventually faded and left her alone. she was able to get more time with her boys, feeling strong in her ability to fight it off. only until it returned, but she fought through one more summer with her boys.
while she was in chemotherapy, she met a girl. her name was y/n and she had been diagnosed with her own cancer. susannah’s heart broke every single time she saw y/n. she was so young, and no one ever deserves to be put through that hell. when y/n was sat next to susannah for a treatment, they connected. she felt something with the girl, maybe her being so close in age to her boys. she can’t imagine not being there for them.
“i’m susannah,” she smiles gracefully at y/n who returned her own grin.
“i’m y/n,” she told. “it’s nice to meet you.”
susannah admired her positivity. it’s hard to be so optimistic in this situation and the room, surrounded by people who are held down by a vicious force of nature.
“you have a beautiful smile,” y/n said to susannah, causing her to awe at her and completely adore her. every time treatments came around again, y/n sat with susannah. they always wanted to sit with each other, sharing funny stories and eating the hospital popsicles.
“are you from massachusetts?” susannah asked.
“yeah, i’ve been here my whole life,” y/n said, taking a lick of her popsicle. “i’m here with my dad, my mom moved away. she’s not really a part of anything anymore.”
“does she know you’re sick?”
“yeah, she knows,” y/n’s expression changed so sadness. “there’s nothing she can do, you know?”
“i’m sorry, sweetie.”
“it’s ok,” y/n replied. “i’m glad you’re here, though.”
susannah beamed back at her, almost forgetting the situation they were in. y/n’s personality completely shined when she was with susannah. she was almost like her own mother, supporting her and being there for the good and bad news. y/n was there for susannah every day, doing random activities and just gossiping about. they eventually discovered that both of them usually spent summers in cousins beach, and they hoped they would see each other there.
susannah had finally been cleared, her cancer going away as she continued to live her wonderful life. she saw her boys every day, something to never take for granted. she thought about y/n a lot, messaging her on facebook to see her condition. soon after, y/n had pushed through her own battle, and she was cancer free. that summer, she swore would be the best of her life.
cousins was a great place. it was relaxing, it was an escape from all the chaos and haunting memories of her sickness. she felt like a kid again in cousins, she was happier than ever there. susannah was basically her mother at this point, talking to her more than her biological mother does. she was kind of like her best friend, the only one who truly understands how it is sometimes.
susannah had wanted to take conrad and jeremiah shopping, and she had laurel and her kids come too. they were all messing around in little gift shops, finding cute outfits for each other and susannah spoiling all of them. when she walked into a little boutique with stylish items for everyone, she could tell by the back of y/n that it was her. she was browsing around the comfortable cousins merchandise, feeling the soft fabrics and letters on the hoodies. y/n eventually turned around, locking eyes with susannah.
“y/n!” susannah shouted. “you look so beautiful!”
y/n reached in for a hug, holding susannah in her arms as susannah almost cried in happiness. “you look so pretty, susannah.”
“i’m so happy to see you! i was hoping we would bump into each other, but you look like you’re doing really well!” susannah placed a hand on her cheek.
“i feel good!” y/n added, holding onto her hand as she ran her fingers through her growing hair, just touching her shoulders now. “how are you, though, it’s been so long since i’ve seen you in person.”
“i know, it’s been a crazy year, but- oh!” she turns around to her boys, pulling them to her side. “these are my sons, conrad and jeremiah.”
she looks at jeremiah who has the same, bright smile on his face as his mother. he waves lightly, making y/n feel comfortable in him, like an old friend. when she looks at conrad, he’s slightly more smirky than jeremiah. he’s fully admiring y/n, hearing so much about her and finally meeting her. he never knew she was so gorgeous, wondering why his mom never told him.
when she held eye contact with conrad, y/n could sense herself getting more and more nervous. the back of her neck got hot and she wanted to make sure she looked good. conrad was really cute, and there was no denying that.
“this is my best friend, laurel and her kids,” y/n waved hello to belly and steven, who looked kind and lovely. belly was thrilled, hopefully being able to make a new friend who has the graciousness of susannah. “oh! you should come to our house tonight! connie and jere can set up the grill!”
y/n looked at the accepting smiles of her new friends. “i’d love to, susannah!”
that night at her own beach house, y/n picked out her best outfit, hoping to secretly impress the boys. she’s been so used to hospitals and staying home that being able to dress up for people felt like a relief. she formed two small braids on the top of her head, letting the rest of her hair down. she picked a pair of shorts and white corset top with small peach-colored flowers. she felt good when she looked in the mirror, confident and pretty. she added a few final pieces of jewelry and walked downstairs with her purse.
“hi, dad,” she said, walking up to her father who was in the kitchen. “i’m going to meet susannah and her family.”
“that’s great!” he replied, voice full of excitement. “i’m meeting up with some friends at the pub, but hey, have a good time, ok? if you need anything at all call me and i’ll bring you anything-“
“dad,” y/n giggles. “i’m fine, you need to have fun tonight, let loose a little?”
“alright, kid. i’ll see you later,” y/n then scurried out the door and into her car, driving anxiously to the fisher house. she was excited to spend some time with her outside of the white, dull walls of the chemo rooms. she hoped that belly and steven would want to be her friend, someone to confide in. the fisher boys looked sweeter than anyone, jeremiah’s bright smile illuminating whatever room he was in and conrad’s personality lightly shining through.
when she walked up to the door, she barely had to knock before susannah pulled the door open. “you’re here! we’re hanging out in the back, come!”
y/n walked through the house, admiring the organized furniture and the aroma of the beach. she glanced at the photos of the families, posing softly with their kids, past and present. she reached the doors to the back patio, seeing everyone all about. “hey, y/n!” jeremiah said, the first to notice that she had walked in.
“y/n!” belly exclaimed. “i’m so glad someone is here to save me from them.”
y/n laughed at her little jokes, noticing the faint stare from conrad as he continued to set up the food for dinner. y/n made her rounds to everyone, chatting up with them before noticing conrad by himself. the rest of them were talking, so y/n stood and walked over to conrad.
“i didn’t realize you were so passionate about cheeseburgers,” y/n grins lightly, getting the same from conrad.
“my mom told me that they better be good,” he said. “she’s very particular about her burgers.”
“ah, i see,” y/n looks back at him, his eyes still on her.
“hey, congrats on being cleared. that’s really awesome,” conrad tells her, making her smile.
“thank you, conrad.”
“you know, we’ve heard a lot about you,” he said. “my mom loves you like a daughter. i’m glad we could finally meet in person, though.”
“i’m really glad i’m here,” conrad can’t seem to pull his eyes away from hers. each detail in her eyes is admired by him, looking at her pretty features and her perfect outfit. her cheeks, her eyes, her lips-
he was pulled directly out of his thoughts when he saw the harsh smoking of one of the burgers, completely burnt. “shit,” he looks, picking the patty up and tossing it out. his eyes are directed to y/n’s face again, holding back a little chuckle. he starts laughing himself, “i hope my mom doesn’t notice.”
once everyones stomachs are full, and they savored the delicious meals from conrad and his mother, laurel gets up and starts a fire in the pit. the warmth of the flames reaches y/n, making her body feel tingly and comforted as she looks at conrad.
he’s sitting back in his chair, hair swooped perfectly out of his face. he has a faint smirk on his mouth, looking at his brother and steven argue about god knows what.
“hold on,” jere speaks. “we should go swimming, what are we doing?”
“i’ll go change!” steven yells, running inside the house to find his swim shorts.
“wanna swim?” conrad asks y/n.
“oh, i didn’t bring a bathing suit,” she informs, her smile dropping slightly.
“you can borrow one of mine!” belly tells her, excitement creeping into her words. “here, come with me.”
y/n takes her hand and jogs up the stairs, going into her room as belly holds up different options. she ends up going for the blue striped one, fitting her perfectly and easy to swim in. she walks out with a towel that she also borrowed, standing next to belly looking into the pool.
“i’m just gonna jump,” y/n says, not bothering to dip her toes in first.
“me too,” belly says, taking a step back as they both jump into the water. the cool pool engulfs y/n’s body, seeing the tiny bubbles around her as she opens her eyes underwater. the quick impact with the water sends a few chills up her spine, feeling the tingling on her skin. the previously calm water was splashing all around her when she came back to the surface. y/n brusher her hair out of her face, looking at the three boys jumping in next to them. she and belly let out playful screams, as steven scooped up his sister and threw her back in.
“volleyball tournament!” belly shouts. “me and y/n vs the guys.”
the boys groan sarcastically, as y/n swims over to one side with belly as the ball is blown up. she starts out hitting it perfectly, belly being surprised. “do you play, y/n?”
“i did a few years ago, but got sick and had to quit,” y/n tells her. sadly having to miss the next few years of her sport.
“oh, y/n, i’m sorry,” belly begins.
“don’t be, really,” y/n says, a polite smile on her face, making belly feel better. “i’m ready now to kick their ass, so c’mon!”
belly grins back at her, serving the ball over to the guys and hitting it back to y/n. when she hits it over to belly, conrad looks at her sweet smile on her face again, blessing conrad’s eyes. he’s so focused on how beautiful she is, and he wants to just worship her. he was so fixated on her that he completely missed the ball coming his way, letting it fall into the pool.
“ah! conrad-“ jeremiah says through gritted teeth, shaking his hands at him. y/n laughs softly before moving to the edge of the pool. the slight fatigue and dizziness made her want to get out to just sit for a few minutes. of course, it didn’t take conrad to notice her absence and her walking out of the pool with a clear grimace.
“y/n, you ok?” he asks, voice full of concern.
“yeah, i’m good,” she says, locking eyes with susannah and laurel. susannah gets up, ready to offer y/n anything she might need. conrad swims to the edge of the pool, pulling himself out and walking toward y/n. susannah brings over a cold bottle of water for y/n.
she sits for a few minutes, consuming the drink susannah gave her and feeling better. she must have been dehydrated, forgetting to drink more water while she was hanging out with everyone. “how are you feeling?” conrad asks.
“i’m fine, now,” y/n smiles up at him. “i just hadn’t drank enough water, that’s all.” conrad pulls up a chair next to her, watching the rest of them play around in the pool.
“does it get scary sometimes? sorry, i know that’s a weird question but-“
“no such thing as a weird question. but, i mean it’s all scary. any small symptom could be related to the cancer i had. it gets easier though, it gets less and less scary the more time goes on.”
“it sucks you had to go through that.”
“yeah, it does. i wouldn’t wish it on anyone, but i can’t change it. i just don’t want the rest of my life being dictated by it.”
it’s almost difficult for conrad to comprehend how someone can be so bright about things. he’s infatuated by the way she views the world around her. he wishes he could be more like her, wanting to see things in a different light like she was forced to at such a young age. conrad knows she’s someone to be loved, and he knows she needs it. he knows he could be the one to do it.
“you’re a really great person, y/n,” he mumbles out, y/n being able to catch every word.
“you’re a great person, too,” she tells him. “you didn’t have to come over here and waste time with me, but you made sure i was ok.”
“times never wasted with you,” he smirks, looking back at y/n who takes another sip of her water. “what are you doing tomorrow?”
“nothing, that i know of.”
“we should go do something, we can go to the boardwalk if you want.”
“i’d really like that,” y/n beams, giving conrad just more satisfaction. when susannah walks by, she taps conrad on the shoulder and kisses him on the cheek.
“you’re a good boy, connie,” she says, fully proud and praising her kind-hearted son.

This guy literally fought naked alongside Zhanna (who was also naked) in the comics, so it’s safe to assume he’s not shy about this kind of thing
I feel like he could carry on a whole ass conversation with a third party mid-fuck
It would probably be something really mundane too, like discussing the weather or what’s for dinner that particular night
He would definitely consider it a power move, a way of letting everyone know that you’re his.
Soldier likes showing you off, and this is the perfect way to do it.
That said, I think he is still quite protective
If anyone happens to stare at your little display for too long, he’ll be quick to chew them out for ogling his S/O
🔧 Engineer 🔧
Out of these four, I feel like Engineer would take the most convincing
You’ll definitely have to work him up to it, starting with low risk things first
For example, you may just be able to convince him to fuck you up against an open window above a somewhat busy street for anyone to look up and see
Not exactly “public” yet, but getting there.
Next would be some outdoor sex, still secluded, but adding a bit more of a risk factor than the window scenario.
Basically, you would be the one taking the lead here, but once you get going, he’ll come around.
Ultimately making you feel good makes him feel good
🏥 Medic 🏥
Medic would be fond of public sex, but I don’t think he would initiate it
Instead, he would try to tease you into getting things started.
He’ll try to get you to break for him, tempting you all day, getting you worked up until you jump him at the first opportunity, usually somewhere other than the bedroom
Usually it would be the infirmary
And of course, Medic would just so happen to “forget” to lock door
If you two were to get walked in on, he probably wouldn’t even pause, simply demanding that the intruder leave while chuckling at the sight of your reddening face
Similarly to Soldier, he wants people to know that you’re his, and public sex is a pretty effective way to do that
🦘 Sniper 🦘
Sniper’s a big fan of risky situations (risk of getting caught, that is)
He’ll be willing to finger you in an abandoned hallway or in the dark corners of a crowded bar, whispering for you to keep quiet lest you alert anyone
He can be mean too, paying special attention to spots that he knows would usually get a very vocal reaction out of you
Watching you squirm and struggle to keep quiet would get him hard real quick, but he’s much better at hiding his arousal.
That said, eventually he will get impatient and drag you off to the nearest semi-secluded area to fuck you senseless
He hasn’t been able to convince you to do this yet but one of his biggest fantasies is to have you bouncing on his cock during battle while hidden away in his sniper nest.

Kiss me <3 ☆ Deadpool x Wolverine | Kinktober Day 3
Summary: Wade and Logan's fighting leads to some heated tension. Basically the Honda Odyssey sense but with more sexual aggression.
Word Count: 2721

The two men paused from their heated battle, the car was beaten up and covered in blood, and so were they. Their Suits are full of holes where once-healed wounds were dealt. Where angry words were exchanged that hurt both of their feelings. But since they’re bad at dealing with feelings like normal people they decided to use their fists, daggers, claws, and guns to deal with their issues. Both which are deeper than the both of them, care to actually deal with. So they fought their problems until they both were on opposite ends of the Honda, Logan was getting ready for another strike before Wade spoke. Deadpool was breathing heavily, his voice dry and a tad ragged as he looked Logan up and down.
“Can you feel this sexual tension- fucking ow!” Wade’s head collided with the already broken window as Logan stabbed his claws into his head. But it doesn't stop him from talking. “-because I can feel some chemistry between us.” Logan gets his leg kicked from under him, so when he falls back into the passenger seat. But not before dragging Wade on top of him by the head, as his claws were still lodged in his head.
“We should kiss, right now, I'll even take it as an apology for hurting my feelings,” Wade said in a pout that couldn't be seen but was definitely heard.
“Do you ever shut the fuck up?” Logan rolls his eyes before he kicks Wade off of him, and out of the Odyssey, Wade’s body tumbles and slides against the rough ground. Wade was quick to get up and storm back into the car by jumping through the back seat window.
“No I don't… but you could make me, it's what the readers want anyway.” Wade looks at you, giving you a once-over while nodding to himself.
Logan was about to say something but Wade interrupted him. “Pucker up buttercup” He crawls over to Logan only to get punched in several places causing him to hit the driver's seat.
Get away from me you fucking moran.” Logan takes a dagger to the chest, he lets out a hiss through his teeth.
“YOU ARE, SO MEAN. but it feels so right.” Wade mutters while taking a couple more sharp jabs at his mission partner.
“Did someone drop you on the head as a baby” Wade gives him a half-shrug before flopping on top of Logan.
“I'm still waiting for my kisspology Wolvie.” Wade wiggles his finger in front of Logan only to get that same finger bent backward with a loud almost comedic pop. He let out a pained whimper and popped his finger back into place. Then there was a long silence between the two of them.
Logan was looking at Wade for a long moment before letting out a sigh. He turns his body, this catches Wade's attention.
“O.m.g Logi-bear! You're considering it ain't you.” Wade moves with a quickness to lift his mask and he gets ready to lean In.
“Only because it'll get to shut up” He leaned over slowly.
“Whatever you say, but I'll be using tongue” Wade closed the gap before Logan could change his mind. Their lips connect and Wade holds back a giggle as he pushes his tongue in the other man's mouth with little resistance. Wolverine grips Wade by the neck before shoving him back.
“I'm so hard right now <3” Deadpool gave him a toothy smirk and licked his dry lips, and he was actively looking Logan up and down. He then made grabby hands at logan.
“What” Logan scoffs and tightens his grip on Wade's neck. But it only gets a moan out of the red-suit man.
“Grip me harder, and I might splooge in this suit which would be no good… this isn't a white suit,” Deadpool rambled weakly. “I would love to feel that handsome mug on me again… in various places actually”
Logan hates that a part of him actually considered what Wade just said.
“Will one more kiss make you calm down? “ Logan whispered more under his breath than anything, but Wade still heard it and he was ecstatic.
“I'm not going to ruin this but definitely kiss me… ah roll credits” he quickly moves in for another kiss but stops right before it can happen. “Let's move this to the back, for kissing reasons” he nods to himself.
“I shouldn't be agreeing to that” He rolls his eyes and turns to the back seat.
“But you are right.” He had already made his way to the back of the Odyssey. Spreading out in the back and wiggling in fingers. “Come sit in Papa's lap”
“I'm not doing that” Logan grunted as he moved in the back beside Wade.
“It was worth a shot,” Wade says, placing a hand on Logan's shoulder and pulling him forward.
They both move into another kiss, their movements slow and Wade took this all as his chance to move his arm around Logan's waist. He was just tasting the water as he moved his hand soothingly along Logan’s body, all while inching closer until they were pressed right against each other. Wade made sure to add tongue and their tongues rubbed together.
Wade starts to undo his suit in hopes it will instill Logan to do the same. The kiss was getting pretty hot and heavy, their tongues gliding against each other's. Exploring the taste between friends and the blooming emotions of something deeper. They pull away to catch their breath and for a moment that was that. Logan and Wade are sitting in calming silence. Logan only did so after they pulled away, he was breathing a little heavier and a bulge was starting to push against the suit material.
“This is so hot. Can't you feel this chemistry” Wade's breath traced puffs of warmth across his face, and Logan couldn’t do much then shiver as Wade began pressing tender kisses to his cheeks, eyelids, and the bridge of his nose.
“Stop talking…” Logan huffed as his thoughts yelled at him to get some sense to stop them.
"Just saying I was right and I'm touching the pearly gates" Wade whispered as he looked down at Logan's pants which contained his bulge. Wade licked his lips subconsciously at the sight in front of him, Logan was going beet-faced, slightly out of breath with a twitching erection in his tight fitting suit.
“You are one annoying son of bitch” He said as he pushed Wade's hands back causing him to slide forward. Wade then climbed a bit up into Logan's lap.
“It's one of my love languages” he moved closer, only for Logan to bite hard into Wade's shoulder. A hot feeling runs through him as he lets out a happy moan.
“You marking your territory big guy,” Wade said in a shaky breath.
He was looking Wade up and down as what felt like a cog turning in his head. Before he pushed the man onto his back, much to Deadpool's pleasure. Logan was trailing rough bites and sucked along Wade's dry skin. Every mask that broke skin made an effort to start healing itself. Wade felt like he was on cloud nine but he wanted some more tangible pleasure. He grabs Logan's tits and gives them a couple of squeezes before pushing him up and then following after him.
"Let's take care of this first." He said while looking at the erection. Wade continues as he starts to pull Logan's pants and boxers with eager and impatient movements.
Logan let out a hiss at the foreign feeling of someone else's hand on him like this, it's been a while and the fact that it was the dumbass in front of him doesn't help. Wade started to move his hand along Logan's fat cock. Wade tried to picture how Logan would pleasure himself as he moved his hand up and down the other man's cock. They both let out pleased sighs and Logan bucked his hips slightly into Wade's hand.
Logan pulls Wade into a messy kiss, causing the hand on his dick to start moving more actively. Logan used one of his free hands to pull Wade's pants off as well, getting the assistance needed to get his dick free. Wade let out a small whimper just because he was happy to be in this situation. Logan's tongue swirls along Wade's own with a growing hunger. Wade feels a hand wrapped over his cock as he jerks off Logan.
Wade's hand tightened his grip on the cock in his hand, which got a pleased moan from Logan. Wade shifts closer a bit before using his hand to jerk them off at the same time taking over. Their cocks rubbed against one other as Wade's hand was over the top of Logan's. So he could be the one controlling the speed and tightness of their strokes.
They both let out moans that they tried to hush with lustful kisses. Their cocks twitch against each other as they start to get closer. Logan huffs and he tries his best to keep himself from spilling his load, he can't be looking like some submissive slut that likes this kinda stuff. Wade uses his thumb to circle Logan's tip and he lets out an almost whorish sound that was muffed between Wade's lips and he smirked against the kiss.
“If you say anything I'll stab you” Logan glared but it was interrupted by another moan even Wade pressed in Logan's tip harder.
“I am so gonna top you,” he said quietly and got stabbed for it like promised. Logan retracts his claws from Wade's thigh.
“Worth it”
“Who said anything about either of those things happening!” He tried to be angry but the feeling of their dicks rubbing against one another was distracting. Their precum mixes for just enough lubricant to have little painful friction.
“I can see it in your eyes, there yelling ‘fuck me fuck me’ You're basically begging me to get you pregnant and I'll do my best for you Wolvie” Logan was appalled and at a loss for words from the audacity that can from the statement out of Wade's mouth.
He would have done something violent if his cock was throbbing Into `reaching orgasm. He would have definitely killed him then in there his mind wasn't getting a bit fuzzy. Logan closes his eyes as he moans with his cock twitching against Wade's, that also twitching dick as they were now both tittering on the edge of climax. Wade let out a groan and he tightened his grip on them, adding the domino needed for their orgasm.
Logan doesn't know how much cum had come spewing out of him, which causes him to fall against Wade. Their cum covers both of their dicks and hands, Wade lets out a moan of his own as his cum mixes with Logan's. Adding to the layer of white sticky warmth, they let out breathy pants. They look up at each other, red in the face and cum covering their hands and cocks. Their heads fall against each other as they collect their breaths. That was until Logan got pulled onto his back and Wade moved closer while giggling.
Wade takes his tongue along Logan's body and gives his titties a couple of sucks. His head gets lower and lower until he was right in front of Logan's cock that was trying to reawaken for more action. He licks up the cum from off his body, running his hot tongue on Logan's cock. He runs his tongue along the head of his cock and sucks on it slowly, getting it back to life. Wade could taste their semen that were mixed together and the saltiness of Logan's skin.
“Bit salty their bud, hope this doesn't affect my cholesterol” he chuckled as he moved lower to Logan's hole, effectively silencing any comment he was most likely going to throw out. A shaky breath comes out of him as he falls back on the chair. Wade was circling Logan's hole and lazily stroking his cock, and getting plenty of pretty sounds.
“Oh shit” Logan cursed, as his chest heaved. He was tense when he felt a finger go inside him. Wade had pushed his finger into Logan's tight hole.
“Well don't do, that not into that- but do loosen up before you take my finger As a souvenir.” He was working on trusting his finger slowly, trying to get it in deeper. Logan let out a groan as he settled down. Wade takes this moment to add a second finger as he thrusts up into Logan. He let out a light moan. Wade pushed his finger in deeper feeling around waiting for a response he found what he was looking fas Wade pushed his fingers even deeper pushing against Logan's walls.
He was holding Logan's legs apart as he thrust his fingers in and out of the other man and tightened his grip on his cock. His eyes widen as Wade starts to hit his spot over and over causing him to almost cum on the spot. Logan Catches his breath to calm down. That's when Wade slowly pulls out, much to the frustration of Logan but he wouldn't say anything about it for his dignity's sake.
“Loganussy come to Papa,” Wade said, in a sing-songy tone as he rubbed his hands together mischievously before grabbing his cock to line himself up with Logan's entrance.
He slid the tip in and moved to give Logan a light slap on the lower thigh. Logan rolled his eyes and kissed his teeth as he adjusted to being stretched. It was uncomfortable, but not terrible, and just at the entrance it already felt good. Once he started to move he was deciding on what pace to pick.
His pace was slow, and Logan felt like it was only getting slower. Logan gets more frustrated at Wade's painfully slow pace. Logan let out a groan that could pass as a growl.
“Growling won't get me to move any faster honey badger. “ He was leaning over Logan as he kept moving slowly.
“Move faster or I'll kill you” Logan commanded roughly as he looked away from Wade with a bashful expression. But his claws were out and ready for strikes.
“This is no way to talk to your lover but your signs of affection are so hot” Wade let out a moan as he started to pick up the pace.
“I'm not your fuckin’ Lover,” He hissed, out with a frown.
“I'll make you love me!” He tightened His grip on his hips, bending Logan over a bit as he thrusts harder and faster. Logan bit his lip to hold back the wave of pleasure that Was hitting from the new angle. About every other thrust would be hitting his prostate and his cock twitched with energy. Logan was panting and huffing as Wade had him arched up into his thrust. Wade was yelling in his head over and over again about getting Logan pregnant which most likely added to the aggression of Wade's thrust.
When he heard light quiet moans he started going fast. Gaining louder moans with constant encouragement. They went at this until Wade grabbed Logan's other leg putting it on his other shoulder. He pulled almost out before slamming back in, making Logan quiver out loud a moan. He was aggressively pounding into Logan. Wade grabs Logan's cock and starts stroking him again in a match to his thrust.
“Fuck” Wade let out a moan as he gets closers to climax. Logan also lets out a pant, as he gets closer as well. He could feel himself getting closer again and he could feel.
Wade moved at a more sloppier pace as he was about to cum. Logan wrapped his legs around as he thrust into Logan. Wade let out a heavy groan before cumming inside Logan. They both collapsed as they were on each other when they collapsed. Wade gets up and pulls away and out of logan. He moved to pat Logan's chest as he stepped out of the car.
“Deadclaws Canon baby!” Deadpool skipped around the Odyssey and clapped his hands together. Still wearing nothing but his mask.

Working alone looks different
⋆˖⁺‧₊☽ CH6 - The Offer ☾₊‧⁺˖⋆
Pairing: No actual Romance just some mentioned, JayRoy | TimKon | BirdFlash Characters: Batfam | Justice League Word count: 3.808 A/N: Last Chapter ! Now all that is left is to crosspost the two drawings I made for this fic. There is a second part to this story. I've posted up to Chapter 5 of it on AO3, but I'll wait to cross post it to tumblr because I am struggling HARD with chapter 6 rn ^^; AO3 Masterlist for W.A.L.D.
The Justice League dealt with overzealous, extraterrestrial enemies on an almost weekly basis. From gigantic hordes of small, slimy critters to towering behemoths. They’ve fought it all and by now they have a sort of routine to the battles.
But this fight was much different from their usual procedures. Instead of one broody bat there were nine. Tough one of those nine was still an enigma to the league as they had yet to meet face to face. So far they had only heard her voice.
The other eight had fallen into a terrifying routine. They moved from enemy to enemy with cold, quick efficiency while quipping and smiling. Batman was the only one of them that fought side by side with the league members like he usually did, the rest of the Batclan kept mostly to themselves and the other young heroes that had come to help. They did swoop in and save a league member every time it was needed though, courtesy of the ninth Bat, Oracle, who seemed to see everything happening on the battlefield. Her moniker truly fit her perfectly.
Billy settled down on a roof to take a breather and to see if they had gotten any closer to winning. He really hoped it was over soon, he liked Fawcett much better without swarms of aggressive aliens.
He was really thankful for all the heroes that had gathered to help keep his city save. He was admittedly especially excited that a bunch of young heroes had joined too. He sometimes really hated that his powers made him look so much older, he really wanted to get closer with the hero community that was closer to his actual age. He liked the other league members but they too often talked about stuff he just couldn’t relate to. Sometimes it was exhausting to fake that you paid taxes and did other adult stuff.
Billy observed the Battlefield and his gaze fell to the different members of the Batfam. Nightwing was fighting aliens alongside Red Robin, easily trusting his back to his brother. The man bend in ways Billy was sure shouldn’t be possible but Red Robin seemed to anticipate every move. Used to his seemingly boneless brother. The two switched their weapons between each other easily. Moving almost as one, they took out another handful of enemies and with a wide smile on Nightwing’s face and a calculating grin on Red Robin’s, they moved to another part of the battlefield. Leaving behind mountains of bodies. Billy was really glad that they’re on the good side.
He turned his head and spotted Red Hood, locked in a fist fight against one of the bigger aliens. Hood was cursing like a sailor and hitting the alien hard in places that really hurt, at least to a human. Billy winced when Hood landed another hard kick to the lower half of the bipedal alien. Said alien let out an enraged roar but promptly slumped down to the ground, Billy spotted a red arrow lodged in the back of the extraterrestrial being‘s head. The red helmeted vigilante gave Arsenal, or the building Arsenal was sniping from, a thankful salute, he then pulled his guns out of his holsters and planted a few bullets perfectly between the aliens four eyes and or their knee caps. He switched between four guns with trained ease despite being limited to two hands and reloaded with such speed that Billy almost missed it. His reserve of bullets seemed endless.
Black Bat was basically a deadly shadow, Billy had only seen her for a second at the start of the fight, since then he could only guess where she was based on the aliens that just seemed to randomly keel over dead. Billy felt a shudder run down his spine as he saw the terror on an aliens face as his comrades dropped like flies around him. Again Billy was really glad he was on the same side as the Bats.
Another blue-kangaroo-looking alien dropped dead next to Red Hood. Said vigilante wordlessly pulled a knife from somewhere beneath his leather jacket and threw it in the air. The knife promptly disappeared in the air as a shadow, Black Bat, caught it. At the same time a broken blade dropped on the floor next to Hood’s boot. Billy simply watched in awe as the path of dead aliens kept going after the weapon exchange. Hood also just kept going, downing a few aliens with targeted punches and ending them with a bullet each if his fists weren’t enough.
Signal was hard to watch, as he used his powers, he apparently had, to blind the enemies. He then easily took them out as if taking a walk in a park. Well, a park in Gotham, Billy didn’t think that any other place would have parks that were comparable to a battlefield. Signal‘s bright light lured a lot of Aliens in his direction, which would’ve definitely been a cause for concern, at least for a non-bat. Signal simply kept moving unbothered by the masses moving towards him, because barely any actually made it close enough to be dangerous to him. Before they could step into his range most were skillfully taken care of, either by decapitation via the, in Billy‘s personal opinion, scariest Bat, Robin or by a simple punch via the Batlings kryptonian counterpart, Jon.
Billy admittedly watched Robin and Jon the longest as they were closets to his age. He really wished to be friends with them. As terrifying as Robin was, Billy thought he was equally as amazing. And Jon seemed like he would be a lot of fun to hang around. His warm and inviting smile had given Billy the courage to try and befriend them. He had gone to Gotham as he knew he would have to start with Robin to have a chance to be accepted into their group but before he had the chance to transform back into his actual body he had run. Robin hadn’t even let him get a word in and the cold Batglare from the just a few years older vigilante had killed all of Billy’s gathered courage. But as Billy watched Robin and Superboy work together he found himself filled with determination to try again.
Mind made up to try to find hero friends his actual age again Billy’s thoughts got interrupted by a battle cry. His eyes snapped onto the source and he spotted Spoiler. She had teamed up with beast boy who had turned into a mighty steed. The purple vigilante was loudly cheering and whooping as she rode on the large, green horse's back into battle. Together beast boy and spoiler mowed down enemy after enemy. Any foe that survived their stampede was finished of by Kon, Wally or Bart who were loudly cheering them on. The cavalry moved over the battlefield quickly and deadly as Spoiler easily switched between the weapons she kept on her person and literally anything else she could get her hands on. Even alien body parts were used and Billy found himself cheering them on from his perch on the roof.
By the time that Billy managed to pull himself from watching the young heroes fight, he notice that the numbers of the enemy had dwindle to barely two dozens. They were trying to retreat, but they were unsuccessful, as the Bats made quick work of them. The biggest problem now was the giant portal still open in the center of Fawcett City. Definitely not something Billy wanted to keep around. It didn’t mash well with the city’s looks. The bright, glowing greens and purples clashed harshly with the city’s aesthetic. Billy also wasn’t a fan of a potential second attempt for world domination via an army of blue-Kangaroos.
He knew he could easily close it but Billy also knew that it would cost him the last of his energy and would reverse his transformation. Everyone would find out that he was actually little, homeless, ten year old Billy Batson. The thought terrified him and made him hesitate.
But the decision was taken from Billy by the last alien, it seemed to tried to call for reinforcements from the other side of the portal. Before Billy even fully realized what was happening his body was already moving. He used the last of his power to quickly close the gate as Green Arrow shot the offending extraterrestrial being.
With the strike of a lightning bolt and a loud crack of thunder Billy, in all his now again ten years old glory, found himself in a small crater on the street.
Of course, to his luck, right in front of the Caped Crusader himself. And of course, worlds-best-detective that he was, he immediately connected the dots,
“Captain Marvel.” A simple statement, really but it froze Billy in place, “Is this your true form ?”
‘Right to the point, huh ?’, Billy thought but he also knew that the Dark Knight, slowly joined by all the other heroes, was expecting an answer.
“Y- yeah. I- I can ex- expla-“, Billy started but was interrupted by the wave of Batman’s hand. The man had more questions and it was clear he wanted them answered.
''Your name.'' Batman wasn't quite glaring at Billy but the boy could feel the Bat's stare drill a hole into his soul. Yet the voice Batman used wasn't quite as scary as his usual Batman-voice. He didn't seem angry, which Billy had feared, he seemed more, curious ? Billy doubted that was the right word.
''B- Billy, Billy Bat- Batson,'' Billy stammered out. His eyes snapped onto the rest of the Batclan, that had gathered behind Batman, as they collectively sucked a harsh breath in.
''B, No !'', Nightwing chided.
''He probably has parents, B !'', Red Hood joined in.
''I- I don't...'', Billy muttered hesitantly but he bit his tongue as the Batkids all displayed various reactions at his words.
Red Robin had his head in his hands, Robin tsk-ed and shook his head as he crossed his arms defiantly, Signal looked a little excited actually, Black Bat whispered something that sounded a bit too much like 'little brother', Spoiler threw up her hands and walked away exasperated, Red Hood was crouched down with his head directed at the sky quietly whispering a string of curses under his breath and Nightwing looked, well just resigned.
''Batson...'', The big Bat muttered, ''I mean...'' He angled his head to look at his colony of children and seemed to try to reason with them, about what, Billy did not know. In fact Billy was highly confused, he couldn’t think of what made half the Batclan look agitated and the other excited. He watched as Batman slowly reached for one of his utility belt pockets.
''Father, please tell me you are not reaching for what I think you're reaching for.'', Robin hissed, clearly already knowing the answer to his query as it came out as more of a warning then a question.
Batman suddenly moved very quickly and before Billy knew it a stack of papers was thrust into his hands, an annoyed groan escaping Red Robin and a tsk coming from Robin. Billy had to blink a few times before the words on the front page registered in his head. In bold letters it read:
ADOPTION PAPERS.
Billy sucked a breath in too fast and started coughing. Concerned eyes landed on him until he regained his ability to breath. Billy looked at the people gathered around him. The league members looked as confused as Billy, except for Martian Manhunter, his face carefully blank and Superman, who looked like he was trying not to laugh. The Titans present, old and new, were in a similar state to Superman, all trying their best to hold in a laugh. Though Billy also received an encouraging nod from both Superboys.
Billy opened his mouth to say something but before any words could leave him Red Hood cut in, ''I'm calling Agent-A, the kid is considering it. For fucks sake old man.'' Hood took of his helmet and pulled out a beaten up flip phone and very pointedly stared at Batman as he hit a speed dial button and spoke,
''Hey A, sorry to bother you while you're cookin’. B’s done it again.'', Hood drawled, he let out a deep sigh before he answered the person on the other end of the line, ''Yeah no, Black hair, blue eyes, orphan, maybe 9? or 10 ? Probably Homeless... His last name is Batson, there is no way we could've stopped him A.'' He then just grunted a confirmation before he harshly clapped the phone shut and put it into one of his many pockets. He ran a hand through his hair and sighed again. He must've spotted Billy's perturbed face as he gave him a surprisingly reassuring smile. He then turned towards Nightwing and with just a look relayed something to the older vigilante.
Understanding his brother’s wordless message easily, Nightwing turned to Kon and told him to go and pick up 'Agent-A', whoever that might be. Somebody with Zeta access apparently, as that’s were Nightwing told the Kryptonian to pick Agent-A up.
The questions in Billy's head only doubled as Kon returned just minutes later with a polished, well dressed, older man. A butler, Billy realized. Fully dressed in a butler uniform and with as simple black domino mask pasted over his eyes. The man carefully dusted of his clothes after the Kryptonian set him down before striding over to Batman. It was clear pretty fast why the man was called to Billy, as the Batkids all considerably relaxed but Batman tensed.
''My dear boy, what did I say about adopting every child you find ?'', The man lightly scolded the Dark Knight, his hands on his hips. Again, excluding Superman and Manhunter the JL members all tensed at the man’s words but the Titans looked just about ready to break out in loud laughter.
“Not to.” The bat grumbled, “But-“, Batman started while gesturing vaguely towards Billy but he was interrupted by the wave of Agent-A’s hand, just like the Bat had done to Billy just minutes before.
Billy was trying hard to keep a giggle down at the down trodden posture of the Bat but he almost choked on his fit of giggles as the butler addressed him with his smooth British accent, “Now, child I will not stop you from accepting Batman’s offer but know that you can refuse it.” The man bend down and pulled out a linen cloth, with it he gently wiped some grime off of Billy's face, only hesitating for a second to let Billy pull away if he didn't want to.
But Billy didn’t pull away and actually enjoyed the gentle touch and the feel of the soft linen. He felt himself relax as the butler continued speaking, “You may think about the offer as long as you'd like, but I do invite you to at least come to our home for a meal and a shower dear boy.'' Agent-A gave Billy a soft and warm smile that almost made the boy forget where he was. Almost, as Hal suddenly blurted out a question, unable to hold his tongue any longer as was typical for the man,
‘’I’m sorry but who the hell is this and what the fuck is happening right now ?! Someone please explain ?! I can’t be the only one that’s completely lost, right ?!'', the lantern exclaimed, desperately looking at the gathered crowd, begging for answers.
All eyes snapped onto the green hero, some of the JL members muttered that they also very much would like an explanation as Red Hood called out a ''Language Glowstick, there are children present.'', while slapping his hands over Robin’s ears, who ducked away while tsking offendedly. Then there was silence as Batman signed something with his hands and the Bats promptly turned towards each other and discussed something between themselves, evident by the quiet chirping the league now knew was actually the Batclan’s secret language.
After a moment and a seemingly quite heated discussion Batman was pushed forward by both Red Robin and Nightwing. He cleared his throat and then spoke in his usual, I-eat-gravel-for-fun, voice, ''Justice League, meet Agent-A. The man that raised me.'' Billy's jaw dropped at that and so did Hal's, Barry's and Green Arrow's. Wonder Woman looked exited at the prospect of meeting the person that raised the Bat, same as Dinah.
''Agent-A is the reason we haven't died yet with our level of self preservation.'' Nightwing declared with much affection and a fond and cheerful smile.
''The best of us all.'' Red Hood added, his tone surprisingly warm and loving.
''Oh you commend me too much my dear children,'' Agent-A said with a fond look in his eyes and small but very warm smile on his lips.
''Well that's great and it's very good to meet you sir,'' Hal said with a charming smile towards the Butler, that was apparently Batman's dad or at least something close to that (Billy's mind was still blown), ''But can we get one thing straight please ? Spooky you gotta have mercy on us non detectives.''
''Hnn.'' The Bat just grunted and gestured for Hal to continue.
The lantern stepped forward and next to Billy so he could have a better view of the Batfamily and everyone else that was present. ''First of, can we all acknowledge for a moment that our teammate that we all thought was an adult is actually a fu- freaking child ?!'' Hal exclaimed while pointing at Billy and looking at all the people present.
Billy felt his face heat up as he sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck. He turned his eyes to the floor.
''Well yeah but that is hardly the weirdest thing to happen in our line of work.'' Arsenal chimed in, the red archer opened his arms and looked around asking for confirmation which he mostly got from the other young heroes present.
''Batson, has always struck me as the most agreeable of the Justice League besides Father. It makes much more sense now why he did.'', Robin stated and even if Billy doubted that that was true, his chest warmed at the other boys words. He met the boy's eyes and gave him an embarrassed but thankful smile, a hint of a smile hushed over Robin’s face before his usual scowl quickly returned.
Hal looked a bit offended but the green hero persevered, ''Okay, fine. Just for the record though I wanna say that a lot of things make much more sense now.'' Hal turned to address Billy, ''I gotta be honest with you, you're not a good liar, taxes are not a weekly thing you know ?'' The lantern smiled at Billy apologetically,
''But like, am I understanding this right ?'' Hal leaned down and tried to take the adoption papers from Billy, who hadn't realized that he was still holding them, though the lantern was unsuccessful as Billy kinda didn't want to let them go. Hal looked a bit sheepish before giving up and deciding to simply point at the stack of papers instead, ''Spooky is trying to adopt said teammate right know. Just like that ?''
''Well that's how he took most of us in, minus the demon brat, so yeah.'' Signal shrugged nonchalantly, he then seemed to think about something before he quickly added, ''And Oracle, he's kinda unofficially co-parenting with her dad which is a special can of worms and spoiler hasn't signed any papers'' He just shrugged as if he didn't just open up more questions than he answered.
''I- I'll just not ask,'' Hal sighed, ''so Spooky just collects kids ? God that sounds so wrong and weird.''
''It's a bad habit of his,'' Red Hood chided in the direction of his father.
''Calling it a bad habit is really an understatement,'' Robin muttered, ''And you cannot chide father, when you've basically taken to adopting all of Crime Alley's kids Hood.''
''Pshhh, haven't actually adopted any,'' The yet went unsaid, ''You do it too Demon brat, just with animals.'' Hood grinned triumphantly as Robin sputtered for a moment before he just did his signature tsk, Billy quietly noted that he didn't refute Hood's words.
''Now, now the man has more questions,'' Nightwing interrupted the banter, an amused smile on his lips.
Hal was silent for a moment before he sighed and carded his hand through his hair in a manner of exasperation. He opened his mouth a few times to ask a question but words seemed to avoid him as in the end he just shook his head and said, “I don’t know what to say, there’s too many questions in my brain and I’m pretty sure you, family of paranoia masters, won’t answer most, if any, of them anyway.”
Batman just grunted his usual “hnn” as confirmation. Billy was sure if Batman could he’d only speak in grunts.
Agent-A seemed to regard Billy for a moment before the man spoke, “We can discuss the offer of adoption over some food. I do insist though that even if you refuse, you’ll at least let us support you in any way possible child. Let me extend that offer to any of your close friend or family if you have any.”, the butler gave Billy a knowing look and the boy had to remind himself that this man had raised the Batman, worlds greatest detective, part of a family in which ‘Like father, like son’ was truer than anywhere else. Of course the man would know or realize that Billy had family even if he didn’t have parents anymore.
Billy had to swallow hard at that revelation as Red Hood walked over to him and offered him a hand to help him stand up. Billy hadn’t even realized that he was still sitting in the crater the lightning bolt created. He hesitantly took the man’s hand and was pulled to his feet with a strong tuck. And as Hood decided to simply pick up Billy, after the boy's legs gave out because of the exhaustion of using all his energy for the day and the shock of Batman offering to adopt him, Billy simply let him.
All Billy could think, as he was carried towards the closest Zeta, was ‘Man, Mary and Freddy will not believe me when I tell them about today.”
And they truly didn't until Billy showed them the adoption papers that he had kept. He did so because he didn't want to seem rude, at least that's the reason he told himself and anyone who asked. Yeah, that's definitely why he kept them. He was absolutely not considering anything.

Okay, could I make a request for Dimitri, Felix, Ashe, and Sylvain with a male reader?
Basically having them react to meeting the reader again after the 5 year timeskip and becoming shocked by how handsome he had become.
Hope this is good, thank you!
When They See How You’ve Changed
characters: Dimitri, Felix, Ashe, Sylvain warnings: none! tried to keep it as spoiler free as possible A/N: Hii I went with a situation where they aren't dating but like each other in some capacity (though I did use their s support images but shh) so hopefully it's what you were looking for! sorry if these are kinda short... I think it's obvious who my fav is tho LOL wc: 1,780
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/838071c9811184e8ac628389c53b6ea8/a4fba424c2f3a13f-88/s540x810/d660054400f13c249ab5a98548fd949fc0a779cc.jpg)
Dimitri
The first time he sees you again, he really can't believe it
It takes him a moment to realize he isn't hallucinating, that you really are standing right in front of him, in the flesh
Once he does, he starts to notice just how different you look. Time's been kind to you, from the sharp jut of your jawline to the firmness of your body when you hold your hand out for him, your muscles more defined since the last time he'd seen you
He thinks you're even more handsome than you were back then, but he stumbles over himself trying to get the words out
He's changed a lot in the past few years too, he's sure, but with you it's like he can't take his eye off of you for even a second
He gets shy if you point out his staring, though he makes sure to let you know why he is in his typical fashion
"What's wrong, is there something on my face?" You ask teasingly, knowing that's not at all why he's been gazing at you as if he was bewitched.
Long, blonde hair nearly obscures his one good eye, and he shakes his head, besting you in height now even though he was the shorter one all those years ago.
"No- it's just..." Dimitri starts, slowly stepping closer to you. He reaches a gloved hand out towards you almost hesitantly, jumping when you gently clasp it between your own.
If you didn't know any better, you'd say his feelings for you hadn't changed. Yours hadn't either. They'd only grown stronger, brought back to the surface with the shy smile that lights up his somber expression. "You've really grown, haven't you? It's a little hard to take in."
You haven't seen a smile as sincere as that one in a long while, his fair skin dusted lightly with pink, and it makes your heart race, knowing that he's this nervous because of you. It feels like no time's passed at all, honestly not when his touch reminds you of the countless battles you've fought by his side.
A shout from across the lands to watch your back, or a comforting squeeze of your shoulder when he noticed you were upset or stressed out. "You have too, you know. Remember when we used to spend our nights in the garden together? I wonder how that place is now."
"Maybe so," he says, taking the opportunity to interlock your fingers together. He softens when you don't untangle from him, something unspoken lingering in the air between you that threatens to break the longer you both stand there. "And how could I ever forget?"

Felix
5 years after everything went down, you and Felix find each other in the most unexpected of places. He hadn't changed much, still sporting that same neutral expression with his hair being slightly shorter than it was
He realizes you have, though. A lot, actually. You'd gotten a fair bit taller, any lingering baby fat now gone and making way for the face of a man he's always been quite fond of
He isn't as straightforward with what he wants to say most of the time, so it comes off as him avoiding eye contact with you if you try to keep it
You might have to prod him a little bit to get him to say what he's thinking, you might not. It all depends on his mood
But the one thing you know for sure is that he keeps eyeing you when he thinks you aren't looking. You know him well enough to notice little things like that
You were one of the few consistents in his life, after all, somebody that was on par with his skills and put up with him where others had a piece to say about his personality
It's why you're not surprised when he instead says:
"You know, you still owe me that rematch."
You raise an eyebrow, crossing your arms over your chest with a small smirk. "Oh? I would've thought you'd forgotten," you ask, thinking about the last time you'd trained with him.
You'd narrowly won, deciding then to devote extra time to nip your weaknesses in the bud. It wouldn't be a fair fight if you didn't try. "It has been a while since our last match."
Felix chuckles, readjusting the sword in his holster and shrugging his shoulders. "I mentioned before how you were a worthy opponent, back when you agreed to continue to train with me." He says, reflecting on that promise you made to him. It's not something you could forget that easily, and you know he wouldn't, either. "That much hasn't changed."
You hum, "Alright then, I'll spar with you, but if I win you have to tell me what's been on your mind."
He must be able to catch what you really mean when you say that, but if he has any objections, then he doesn't voice them. He simply nods, gracing you with one of his rare smiles that you would die 20 times over to see again.
"Deal. And if I win, then you have to treat me to dinner."
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/67f1cec4aaae96f660ffd64d75ceab54/a4fba424c2f3a13f-af/s540x810/4dc6acad277d7ecb9453bc0c8844170112fe695b.jpg)
Ashe
He is SUCH a sweetheart I was just rewatching his supports but anyways....
When he sees you, it's needless to say that he becomes a blushing mess. There standing the one that swept him off his feet was you in all your glory, bright and even more mature looking than he remembers you being
He's quick to tell you that you're handsome, even if it takes everything in him to say it without stuttering
His words are always so sincere, nothing hiding behind them like a lot of the people you've met and gotten to know over the years
So when you gently cut him off before he starts to ramble too much, he looks at you sheepishly, calmly asking if you were busy after this
He'll insist on treating you to some tea and sweets even if you say he doesn't need to. He won't call it a date, per se, he's mostly just eager to finally be able to catch up with you, but if you do, he gets super flustered
"A d-date? I m-mean- if you see it that way, then...." Ashe trails off, nervously tucking a loose strand of gray hair behind his ear. He walks side by side with you down the busy, crowded streets, tensing up when your hand brushes his. "I guess I can't complain, can I?"
"Do you?" You grin, eyes more focused on him than the scenery around you. Different tenders trying to get people to buy their wares while others chat about this and that fill your ears, whispers of wind sending a shiver up your spine.
He whistles some old tune to himself, quiet enough that you would've missed it if you weren't so close. He glances from you back down to the gravel on the ground that crunches beneath his feet, and then mutters. "Only if... only if you don't think that's weird."
"I don't." You give him a playful nudge with your elbow, leaving it at that.
It doesn't take very long for you to make it to the cafe he had picked out. He said that it was a nice place he'd found by accident one time, that the prices weren't too bad (mainly so that you didn't feel bad) and they'd definitely have something you'd like. It was sweet, how he tended to think of others like that, especially you.
Thousands of years could pass, the sun and moon turning into nothing but distant memories and Fódlan something of the past, and yet nothing would ever get rid of how you felt for him.
The two of you find a nice seat in the back, near an open window with a fair amount of sunlight and away from a group of friends in the front. You wait until he's scanning his menu to peek up from yours, smiling when his eyes quickly find yours anyway. "You sure have a knack for finding hidden treasures. This place is nice."
"I suppose so, but it's nicer with you here."

Sylvain
This man is already a flirt but even though it's toned down a bit later on, he doesn't cut any corners
If he thought you were attractive back then, then he thinks you must be on par with a prince now, your frame well-maintained and becoming of such a title
The first time he sees you again, he's nearly starstruck, blown away by just how much you've changed since the last time you'd talked. He won't hold back in saying that, either
"Well look at you, I'm surprised you aren't surrounded by ladies yet" while he thinks about how to get you to see his words aren't empty
You might think it's just his usual antics, waving them off with a roll of your eyes and taking another bite of the food on your plate
But then he looks at you. Really looks at you, brown eyes gazing into yours, and you have to admit it makes you feel some sort of way
"Come on, now you're just buttering me up." You say, stabbing your fork and knife into your steak and cutting a small slice. You bring it to your lips, feeling more than seeing his foot kick yours underneath the table. Whether it's an accident or on purpose, you can't say, but you wouldn't put the latter past him.
"Not at all, really." He ignores his own, more untouched plate while you talk in between bites, a mischievous smile playing on his lips as he twirls a strand of red hair between his fingers. "Can't you just trust me on this one?"
You chew the piece in your mouth and swallow, pointing your fork at him accusatively, but he doesn't seem offended in the slightest. "Uh-uh, you're the same as ever, Sylvain."
"But I'm serious! I've always thought you were handsome." He exclaims, pouting when you laugh at his clear desperation. "I don't only think of girls, y'know."
You squint in doubt, but you decide to humor him just this once. If he meant what he said, then he'd have no trouble saying it again or proving it to you. You'd take either, truth be told. "Really?"
He nods fast enough that you think his head might fall off his shoulders, a determined glint in his eyes that tells you you're in for a ride. "Let me show you what I mean after we eat, then, I'll take you anywhere you wanna go, just say the word. It's all on me today."

Tut_01: Ungodly hour
So it begins...
youtube link to the cinematic
Until someone collected all the Dofus and plunged the world into chaos, OGREST
"and the gods completely powerless"
This part no longer appears in the newer versions of the intro, but it is important to me. (I could only find the older parts in Spanish, so 9 year old footage be upon ye.)
It must be emphazised how absent the gods are in the Wakfu era. The gods' presence was much more felt in Dofus; from the start of the game the gods' footprints are all over it. The tutorial area's landscape is shaped by them, and in Astrub you are greeted by their statues.
Wakfu has none of that.
source
We are left alone to face the apocalypse.
It seems, you (the player character) had tried to face good ol' Ogrest before. It didn't work out, and you and your party members perish and their souls leave to start the whole process of excarnation and incarnation all over again.
The visual of a party of heroes taking on the big bad only to be promptly defeated, and the player character being canonically one of those souls has always been very cool to me. As well as the entire concept of reincarnating and starting out in what is basically heaven.
Always keep in mind that Wakfu takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, and that it was caused by a crying super-powered ogre.
Interesting to note that in this spacial shot, the World of Twelve seems to have a bigger landmass more akin to the Dofus era world. We later get confirmation that the player character's soul's fought Ogrest a few hundred years ago, so this battle likely took place when shit was just starting to go down.
When a soul dies in this world, they will eventually re-incarnate in a place called called Incarnam.
Incarnam rests atop a slumbering dragon, which can be also seen in both the old wakfu incarnam map and in the incarnam from the dofus era.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/c150bcf96a1ccc94f288ac104d0cbde7/3dc5b5745068d559-4c/s500x750/0cb775c548de0babb2694b38afb16aee69e178c3.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/7f80ec3b04c8c10ca3f12073656f00bd/3dc5b5745068d559-21/s540x810/42ab763b6e401aac49a305bf73f5fd3ac7c6b552.webp)
As I went to fetch these images, it dawned on me that I never looked at these two maps side by side. The dragon itself has sligthly shifted. Areas that where in the dofus era are no longer there, but you can still see the shape of them. The wakfu Incarnam map mirrors the dofus one almost wistfully. It all feels more uncertain, lonely.
All the marks and legends that the gods left during the dofus era are gone. While you could see the images of various gods among the stars, now only the lone image of god Iop graces the sky of the Wakfu era Incarnam. (Frankly, it is quite interesting that only god Iop appears in the sky; maybe he is there because unlike the rest of the gods, a vestige of God Iop is still physically present in the World of Twelve in the form of Tristepin and / or Goultard?)
I wonder, if you dig hard enough, will you find the ruins of the buildings that were once there?

gonna mention some of our sonics most important/active alters rq
sonic's polyfragmented & has well over a hundred alters so we're just mentioning the ones we have names / ideas for.
also scourge is in here. Is scourge also a guy seperate from sonic? we may never know... (the answer is literally just yes)
Pilot (he/him, neos?)
what they do: fuck all ; took away all of sonic's knowledge and muscle memory abt the tornado so he could fly it.
front tells: has a special salute he offers to everyone - two fingers on his temple, then finger-guns
relationship w/ others: when sonic realized hes the reason it suddenly started sucking at piloting the tornado, it fought him for DAYS. the two are on good terms now but sonic's still salty about the whole thing
description: dark brown fox. fur's only a little lighter than sonic's original quill/fur color
Survival (none)
what they do: keeps the body calm & focused when thrown into a survival/panic state ; fragment
front tells: acts prettymuch just like a hedgehog. snuffl snuffl
relationship w/ others: n/a
description: classic sonic but hes covered in mud
Protection (none)
what they do: split specifically to keep tails safe if sonic shut down during a battle, now helps everyone - including sonic ; fragment
front tells: completely nonverbal ; one-track mind worse than sonic's
relationship w/ others: n/a
description: classic sonic but hes covered in wounds :[
Scourge (it/he)
what they do: one-up sonic at every opportunity. obviously
front tells: usually him screaming "SCOURGE IS BACK, BABY!!!"
relationship w/ others: everyone either hates or loves him ; outside the body, amy thinks he sucks but is glad he's less sexist now, tails used to think he's scary but now just thinks he's kinda lame, and knux... has opinions.
description: YOU KNOW IT BABY!!!!
Cog (they/it)
what they do: exist. tries to keep the body away from drugs
front tells: higher-pitched voice, talks more like AoSTH / classic sonic; uses contact lenses that look like metal sonic's eyes
relationship w/ others: a lot of people jokingly hate em but most r kinda worried for em ; outside, theyre best friends with basically all badniks (though they have a somewhat rocky friendship with omega) and consider them to be its siblings
description: thinner sonic, wilting quills and its bones are painted chrome.
Mary-Ann (they/them)
what they do: split to give tails familial affection when sonic got burnt out, & later got the Secondary Task of avoiding like. CPS and stuff. ; now that they dont have to do that they get to just chill
front tells: softer tone of voice, body language is completely different and a lot slower
relationship w/ others: sonic feels bad abt pushing so much onto her even though it wasnt his fault or choice. theyre chill tho ; outside, they have a kinda-friendship with shadow since theyre the one who introduced him to the fact sonic's a system. tails loves them, and even outside of their purpose they care abt him too
description: porcupine mobian. looks a little more like an irl animal
Fleet (he/it/xe)
what they do: anger/rage/fear holder, used to be a fragment ; fronts whenever sonic goes super out of stress, or if he gets too upset when using the chaos emeralds to go super
front tells: extremely obvious. totally different way of speaking, maine/british accent (maine accent it picked up somewhere, british accent is the body's default); when fronting while super bc of the chaos emeralds, they morph him into what he looks like in headspace, but if he's just fronting due to stress all that changes is his quills are Wayyyyy messier. hard to miss him!
relationship w/ others: sonic tried to force him into permanent dormancy for years, which didnt work and caused him to take over the body for a few weeks ; he probably did meet ebony and pyjamas, both of whom unfortunately misunderstood his entire Him and hurt him a lot, but they managed to make up after xe worked thinks out with sonic and theyre rlly close friends now :]
description: it is fleetway :]
Prime (he/it)
what they do: secondary host
front tells: way, WAY more physically and verbally affectionate towards his friends; more open (obvious) about his emotions, doesnt bother hiding them as much (especially when he thinks it might be funny); a little more over the top with everything, especially his mannerisms - many of which he picked up directly from eggman
relationship with others: GREAT friends with pilot, who sorta acts like his tails when his tails isnt. yk. available (busy boy!!!). NOT FRIENDS WITH SONIC they do NOT get along :[ ; loves tails, LOVES amy, LOVES!!! KNUCKLES!!! LOVES SHADOW!!!! he loves ALL of his friends and he's gonna make it THEIR PROBLEM!!!<333
description: prime sonic! so just sort of different-looking regular sonic. he calls himself prime bc hes convinced hes the first sonic, and is totally smug abt maybe having a single memory earlier than sonic the other one.
Sonic (he/it)
what they do: primary host
front tells: it's sonic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ; rlly easy to tell when hes fronting again after a while bc he immediately picks up from the last convo you had w him (if he remembers) or challenges you to a race (if he doesnt)
relationships w/ others: VERY rocky. didnt accept he was a system for a while - he knew he was one since before the concept was given the name it has now but he was iffy on the whole "other people in his brain" thing and dealt with it HORRIBLY. this is a horrible combination of STC and IDW sonic so you know he was just being a huge inconsiderate jerk to everyone for YEARS. his reaction to the chaos emeralds giving a bunch of his alters their own bodies was fear and disgust instead of joy or even vague curiosity; even though he's repairing his relationships with everyone and going to therapy and getting support from his friends and allat, he still doesnt really like just... not having access to his body all the time. he doesnt like not being at front, it feels Bad, esp. when he misses big important dates. sorry man you got hit with the reverse curse idk what to tell you
description: ITS SONIC!!!

usana - baby
A/n - heyy i got this request a while ago but midterms came up quick and i had to focus on school BUT here it is and this is my first time writing and i hope everyone enjoys 🤍
“Y/N WATCH OUT” Shuri yelped, she couldn’t bear the fact that she had dragged y/n on a mission with her because she’s selfish and wanted her next to her at all times, and now because of her you’re now dodging the blade of your attackers which wasn’t new but it scared her shitless
“SHURI HELP PLEASE” you scream, you were currently fighting from the front and back you had it until the attacker from the back swiped their foot beneath yours & you fell backward with a loud thump
“SHU-“ you attempted to call her once more while covering your face with your forearm just giving in defeat until you heard silence then heavy breathing you uncovered your face and saw shuri blood dripping from her claws you immediately started looking for the 2 attackers. once your eyes looked down you were faced with your attackers … their faces were basically torn to shreds
“t-thank you” you said heart burning as shuri stood above you panting lighting, jaw clenched, claws sharp, and out the sight made your heart burn even more but now with lust
“y/n i’m so so so sorry, i never meant to drag you unto such danger it’s just i’m always gone and i love being around you and i thought being you with me would - “
shuri rambled on eyes wandering around the small cave until your lips were pressed against hers gently, shuri leaned into the kiss grabbing your waist while your arms were draped around her neck, shuri moaned into the kiss and you gently pull back
“shit shit shit i- sorry i just- fuck” you stumbled over your words while shuri stood there shifting back and forth on her feet and picking at her fingers something you noticed she did when she had something on her mind that was hard for her to get out
“y/n” shuri cut off your rambling “i love you and i know this was never supposed to happen and we were strictly to be just partners on missions but i can’t get you out of my mind …”
you stood there quietly rubbing your fingers together as you started shuri straight in the eyes
“i love you too shuri”
“OH THANK BAST I THOUGHT I FUCKED THIS WHOLE THING UP AND I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO RUN AND HIDE AND YOU WOULD -“
you cut shuri up once again by kissing her but this time is was more passionate and way more tongue. shuri hands start to palm your bottom and you stop her
“andikwazi kulinda ukukugezela” shuri says looking you dead in the eyes pupils blown, lips swollen & cult pulsing in between her folds
“what does that mean” you ask cocking your head to the side, you weren’t wakandian but in college, you were a little rough around the edges and fought like hell and videos soon surfaced which caught the panthers attention she was fascinated by not only your fighting but your beauty, the way you threw quick but lethal punches, the way your curls bounced when you dodged hit, the way your body looks the tight one price you always work when fighting and well … she kidnapped you and had you fight alongside her
“you’ll find out soon” shuri winks and grabs your waist leaning for another kiss
“we should probably head back” you say even though you wanted her to take you right then and there in that cage in front of the fuckers who she had just torn into shreds
“of course usana”
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f182e704b3752a98df8d6d7e61b61b34/881930d2286b241f-d2/s540x810/a6ece2283ba6912226b62a07fb683ac087dd4c60.jpg)
as soon as you reached her bedroom her suit deactivated leaving her in only her black sports back and black boy shorts that had a large wet spot
you on the other hand took off your mission attire leaving you in nothing but a skimpy thong (you hated wearing undergarments”
“wow” shuri whisper stalking toward you while you stood there shyly
“you are so beautiful usana” she placed her hands on your cheeks and kissed you
“shuri” you looked up at her grasping her shoulders
“please touch me”
with that shuri nods and picks you up and places you on the bed laying you down and straddling your waist
she beings sucking on your neck leaving marks and slowly goes lower and lower leaving a trail of love bites on your collar bone, stomach until she reaches your thong
she hooks her fingers into the small string and gently tugs them down and is now face to face with your gorgeous drenched pussy she moans at the sight of your puffy lips, clit slightly peeking from under your hood
“she’s so pretty and i know she tastes even better”
“shuri wait” you sit up on your elbows and bite your lower lip
“what you said earlier … what does it mean”
shuri slowly comes up to your face and slowly inches so close you thought she was going to kiss you instead she says something that rocked your whole world
“i can’t wait to fuck you, hard *kisses your lips* long *kisses your neck* and deep *shoves two fingers into your tight hole”
“oh my- fuckkkkk” you grip her wrist to slow down the outlandish pace she was fucking you at
“be my good girl and take it” she lowers back down and kisses your clit “you can take it right” and flattens her tongue to lick from your finger-stuffed hole to your clit
you immediately clench hard around her fingers and moan deliciously
“oh you like being called a good girl huh” shuri pace speeds up and she’s now sucking on your clit
“shu- i’m about to c-cum” you grip the sheets hard and moved your lower half away from her face the pleasure becoming too much
“stay fucking still, i thought you would be my good girl” shuri tugs you back down but before she does you catch a glimpse of her face, your wetness dripping down her chin some resting on her top lip and she quickly swipes her tongue to taste you come before going back to devouring you
“yes yes YES IM YOUR GOOD GIRL unhh unhh” and with 3 more pumps of her fingers and 2 tugs on your clit you’re creaming all over her fingers body shaking and mouth wide open
“yesssss usana that’s a good fucking girl creaming all over your queen's fingers”
your clit jumps at the praise and shirt notices and chuckles she then pops her fingers in her mouth sucking off all your cum “delicious” she mumbled as you inch to the top of the bed and curl into a ball anything to get away from her devilish tongue and fingers while shuri reachers up to place soft kisses on your cheek while rubbing your back
“i’ll be right back i want to try something else”
you simply nod and close your eyes preparing yourself for whatever she had up her sleeve
shuri quickly hops up and goes to her closet and grabs a purple and silver box, she opens it and inside is something she created a little after your second mission together, seeing you beat the shit out of a man that was almost 3ft taller than you riled shuri up and that night she made you this special strap, it was about 8 inches, black with hints of purple running through it which of course was vibranium that allows her to feel inside you as pleasure and the base had your initials etched into it
shuri walks over to the bed where you are now sitting up on your elbows legs spread, cum making your folds glisten, and eyeing shuri as she attaches the strap to her
“you’re so hot shuri” you say taking your bottom lip into your teeth
“yeah” shuri says as she slowly walks to you leaning down placing a soft peck on your lips
shuri then grabs your feet pulls you towards her and flips you over so you were now on your stomach, you instantly pull your ass while your back made a perfect arch your pussy blooming
“fuckkk y/n” shuri growls and rubs your ass before landing a harsh slap
“mmm” loving the stinging feeling that lingered
shuri aligns her tip at your entrance ready to breach and slowly slides in using your last orgasm as lube and instantly moans at how warm and wet your pussy feels and starts the thrust slowly wanting to feel you suck her in but also wanting you to feel all of her
“please please faster shuri fuck me like you hate me” you gasp out
hearing that shuri leans down and places a peck on your back and grabs your left boob while her other was tightly gripping your waist she started pumping faster inside you
“uhnnnnnn it feels so good” you sob throwing your head back and using your hand to grab over shuris
shuri then lifts your back up so that your back is pressed against her and at this new angle she’s perfectly abusing your g-spot
“yea intombi entle you’re taking it so well, this pussy is so fucking good you feel so fucking good” she says in your ear
suddenly your whole body is shaking, your moans become high pitched ,and before you know it your closing your eyes as your 2nd orgasm runs through your whole body, your body goes limp as you fall back into the bed but shuri is still pumping into your hands now on both of your round checks thrusting harder and faster chasing after her own orgasm
“this pussy is so creamy you’re about to make me cum y/n you’re about to make me come so fucking hard-“
“mmm fuckk” shuri thrust turns slow and sloppy as her orgasm hits her and she slowly pulls out of you and deactivates her strap
you shiver hearing her low moans and happy you got her to cum as well
“y/n are you okay” shuri flips you back around and cups your cheeks pulling your curly hair away from your eyes her eyes frantically searching your face she puts her hand on your chest to feel your breathing
“GRIO-“ shuri yells
“shuri baby” you chuckle “i’m okay i’ve never came that hard before i’m just trying to calm down”
“sorry after what happened today i’m just so scared of hurting you in any way, shape, or form”
hearing this warmed your heart as you gather some strength to sit up and slowly kiss her
shuri deepens the kiss and turns so now you on top of her and you straddle her waist and rub her sides
“can we do one more thing usana” shuri ask
“of course love”
“ride my face” shuri smirks looking up at you and you giggle and nod shuffling up until your pussy is hovering over her face you were a little nervous because you didn’t want to suffocate her with your beautiful thick brown thighs
shuri grabs you by your hips and shoves you down
“i said sit not hover” shuri mumbled before sticking her tongue out darting it in and out of your hole”
“FUCKKKKK” you yelp and lean over so now your hand were gripping the headboard “shuri shit you’re so good bast you’re so good”
shuri hums while flattening her tongue grabbing your bottom and you get the hint she wants you to grind on her tongue …. work for your next release
you grind on her tongue and you feel the heat growing hotter and hotter in the pit of your stomach
“i’m about to c-cum shuri” you moan tightening your grip on the headboard to the point you thought you would break it
“cum my usana cum all over my face” shuri begins sucking and tugging on your clit like she trying to milk the cum out of you
“ughhhhh shuriiii” you drag out her name as your body jerked uncontrollably as you came for the 3rd time
shuri licked up all your cum and use the tip of her tongue to trace something with your come onto your clit. you stay on her face and read the letters in your head “S H U R I”
“fuck” you gasp silently lifting off her face
shuri sits up and licks all the cum off her lips
“what” shuri looks at you and tilts her head
“you spelled your name on my clit … with my cum” you said hesitantly
“yeah we’re bonded now” she shrugged
“tasting like that & being such a good girl i couldn’t help myself” she pulls you in and places a kiss on your temple
you push her away blushing and excited you were now hers
“shuri please with that name i can’t cum again even if i wanted to” you giggle a little flustered
“i know i know let’s go get cleaned up okay” shuri picks you up, pecks your lips and walks you to the bathroom and places you on the counter and starts your bath
“hey shuri”
“yes”
“i know you could feel me with that strap” you giggle
“yea and i can’t wait to feel you again” she walks over and kisses your neck and you two bathe and talk about your guy's next plans for the future
THE END YAY.
i hope you liked if please leave requests, feedback, and love :)

+005: Tetris Forever is marketing disguised as a documentary
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/649905f9f4ae07a21f93271ce6227f21/b8171c0695a11524-59/s540x810/cf6d9c3ea17064889cf09519b470fedf34f1f749.jpg)
CANON FIRE is made possible by the generous contributions of readers like you. Support more writing like this on Patreon. Thank you!
The latest in Digital Eclipse’s game/documentary hybrids, Tetris Forever presents a view of history that omits so much it’s nearly historical revisionism. Ironically, for a documentary about a Soviet export, Tetris Forever is more concerned with its capitalist success than anything else.
Multiple chapters are spent on the saga of Henk Rogers’ acquisition of the rights to the game, the business deals that led to its financial success, and the total ownership that the Tetris Company finally achieved.
Rogers talks about buying out the remains of the Soviet ministry of computer technology, shutting down a successful Tetris clone keychain, taking ownership of Bombliss from designer--and Pokemon founder--Tsunekazu Ishihara, and it's presented as if they were inspirational stories, not ruthless business decisions. He even adds that he paid Ishihara 100 Yen per unit, “because it was the right thing to do”, even though he legally didn’t need to.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/7a546c47762e66a0b003a63307b114fa/b8171c0695a11524-65/s540x810/2a16b25f348712801b42747084bb775381833d2a.jpg)
Tetris Forever’s narrative is not the story of Tetris, but the Tetris Company. It’s a story of great men doing great things, mythmaking for people who have very literally already bought in. You can see it in the collection’s roster of games, which only includes titles developed by Bullet Proof Software, games that Rogers had a hand in directly, and are outright owned by the Tetris Company.
For as much as they hype up the Game Boy as a key to the Tetris’ worldwide success, its absence leaves a gaping hole in what’s supposed to be a historical collection. Even if it's already well known to many, its absence makes it hard to take Tetris Forever seriously as a historical archive.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/9242db354f1c5ed6d405489abbff7b19/b8171c0695a11524-e8/s540x810/143c5f64ff96f9e6869701c76d7e8288143820b0.jpg)
Alongside Tengen Tetris, which they fought a protracted legal battle to bury, and NES Tetris, which has exploded in popularity recently with a number of world records, a growing competitive scene and a recreation in Tetris Effect, there’s several milestone releases that are not only not playable, but not given little focus in the documentary.
The greatest of these omissions is easily SEGA Tetris. While Tetris dominated the console space in the West, SEGA’s arcade entry was highly influential in Japan, becoming the de facto representative of the series there, spinning off into competitive entries, and becoming the groundwork for several fan games of the time, and eventually Tetris the Grand Master.
Together with TGM, SEGA Tetris would play a huge part in defining the “feel” of Tetris. Mechanics like lock delay, ghost pieces and wall kicks were created here, in arcades, then rolled into the official Tetris Guideline, the blueprint of what a modern Tetris game should look like. Rogers himself has said as much in other interviews.
In leaving out those entries, Tetris Forever buries a slew of other stories. The stories of how a collaboration between ex-Street Fighter devs and Japanese comedians would change the series forever, how feedback from an office lady led to a game defining mechanic, and how the game would make an international name for itself years after its release due to streaming.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3cd9a9f6a6b0948e9ae5b55e4b2cdb1b/b8171c0695a11524-56/s540x810/49a50e80adf921ac692ebe647e188ff71d4c2c69.jpg)
Instead SEGA Tetris is limited to a single paragraph, a short video of Tetsuya Mizuguchi talking about watching it in arcades, and a summary basically saying “it’s influential” TGM and Arika are given even less, with the only comment being that TGM is known for its speed. It’s about the same level of attention as they give to the times they made Tetris cabinets that were REALLY BIG.
And where are the stories of the NES game champions? THe ridiculous limitations that make the NES version uniquely difficulty to play, the absurd techniques that players developed to get around the physical limitations of the controller they play with?
Where are the showcases of speedruns and high level competition? Why aren’t there interviews with the devs of different titles, like the experimental N64 entries from H2O Entertainment, or the composer of the CDI Tetris? Digital Eclipse had a chance to showcase the diversity of people and ideas that have touched Tetris, but all of that is barely mentioned, if at all.
Licensing was surely a factor here, but as Tetris Forever points out, the Tetris Company has fought many battles over rights. Why stop when it's time to tell your story?
Instead what we get itls historical revisionism by exclusion. A story canonizing what we already know, and leaving out the contributions of the many hands that have touched the game in the decades since its success.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/ab4cc18d1eca438e63b13e2a5883f95f/b8171c0695a11524-8b/s540x810/ba3ca560577903edbb2382d5fc2a477c0f9357d3.jpg)
Tetris Forever would have you believe that's Tetris’ success is the story of Alexi Pajitnov discovering a diamond, and Henk Rogers convincing everyone it was valuable. But a gem's value isn't in its raw material but the refining process--something I'm sure the son of a gem merchant like Rogers would know.
Tetris’ refinements have come as a result of decades of community contributions. From fans making works in both official and unofficial capacities. Tetris is the story of a conversation between a game and its players. It's a cultural phenomenon built by many hands.
Perhaps, comrades, that's the real legacy of what they once called THE SOVIET MIND GAME.

Kinktober Day 18 (10/18): Sex Toys starring Luke Ryder
Kinktober Masterlist
WARNINGS: smut (READ AT YOUR OWN RISK), female s/o, dom Luke/sub s/o, sex toys (vibrator and butt plug), bondage (using handcuffs), degradation/dirty talk, pet names/name calling (slut), edging, mention of orgasm denial, lmk if I missed any!
synopsis: After a stressful day being a news reporter, Luke comes home to rewind. There, he indulges in his favorite pastime; fucking his girl.
-> note: This is a world where the monsters and the whole apocalypse thing never happened (or you can imagine it before/after but without him dying). Also, I had to do this prompt with Luke, 'cause... WE ALL KNOW HE'S A FREAK (literally confirmed in the movie)
WC: 541 words
Luke hastily yet sloppily takes off the majority of the clothes he wore to work today, besides his shirt and pants, obviously. He was absolutely done with the day; and the fact he had to wait even longer for his girlfriend to get home, since he left early, was even more torturous.
He groaned, flopping onto the couch and burying his face in a pillow. His brain throbbed, overstimulated from the day's events, and he felt like just taking a nap until she came home. Yeah, that sounded like a pretty good idea right about now.
But then he heard the door close, and walking in came his beautiful lover, brows downturned yet furrowed slightly in concern and worry as she sees him. She makes her way over to him, feeling his forehead. "You okay, baby?" she asks ever so gently. "As soon as I saw your text that you were leaving early, I just... I had to leave work too. I couldn't help but think something was wrong..."
"No, I'm okay," he dismissed in a mumble, sitting up and smiling a bit at how much she was genuinely concerned for him. He pulled her onto his lap, kissing her gently. "'M just... in need of a break, I think."
"Yeah?" she questions, wrapping her arms around his neck instinctively. He smirked, and pulled her into another kiss, one more passionate this time. His tongue fought for dominance against hers, quite quickly winning the short-lived battle.
And soon they were on the bed, her hands cuffed to the headrest, unable to move them whatsoever. The vibrator on her clit teasingly buzzed on the lowest setting, and the shiny butt plug he inserted into her ass definitely wasn't helping either. It had its own separate set of vibrations, but he didn't even care to turn it on, just letting her feel the damn thing. How much was he going to tease her, she had no idea. But it made her body tingle with anticipation.
"You're such a slut for me," he coos, leaning in and kissing her neck, "I fuckin' love it."
After a while he turned up the vibrator, but only just a little. He also turned on the butt plug, but it was on its lowest setting like the vibrator previously was. It was torture after torture, edging her and bringing her close to the edge before denying it again.
But finally, after what seemed like hours, three words escaped his lips as he put both on the highest setting: "Cum for me."
And she did just that, whimpering loudly as her desperately awaited orgasm hit her like a tidal wave. It came over her hard and fast, riding the waves of her orgasm by basically humping the vibrator that still resided in his hands. He watched, soaking in the sight to its fullest, and helping her ride the waves of pleasure until she couldn't anymore.
"You like these toys better than me?" he asks her, to which she quickly shakes her head no. He smirked, chuckling. "I think otherwise..."
He turned the vibrator on again, on a higher setting. "Well... You're jus' gonna have to give me as many orgasms as I want 'til I decide you deserve me."
