Bat dad meet Ghost dad
Several years earlier....
"JAAAAAAZZZZZZZZ!" Danny flew excited through the Ghost Zone with a little kid in his arms rushing past some of his former rogues as he made a B-Line for his sister that happened to be in the Zone too, currently in a deep conversation with Frostbite about something Danny hadn't cared to pay attention to long enough. But right now he had exciting news he really wanted to share with his sister. Even now as adults Danny tented to live out his childishness whenever he could especially when he and his family went into the Ghost Zone.
The Halfa came to a screeching halt as he grined brightly at his sister who looked back at him with a raised eyebrow, slightly amused at her younger brothers giddiness. "What is it Danny?"
"I got a son now!" Danny declared happily holding up a young ghost teen by the armpits into his sisters face.
The 'son' in Danny's hands stared at Jazz blinking owlishly as if the teen boy still needed a moment to catch up with what was going on and Jazz blinked back at the ghost and then at Danny. That was not a child but a teen ghost. Going by the size the kid was probably around 14 or 15 and he looked very much traumatised and Jazz could not tell if that was because of Danny or because of how the teen possible died.
"Danny what did you-" Her brother did not let her finish her question as he started rambling excitedly.
"He is a baby ghost Jazz! Look how young he is! I found him floating around aimlessly, his hunt hasn't even fully formed yet and when i picked him up there was that instant connection! You know the same-"
"Danny."
"I have with Clockwork and Pandora! I instantly knew he was mine! Mine to protect! Mine to guide! When I saw him I swear I just knew, I ghost adopted him the moment I made contact! He is family Jazz-"
"Danny."
"I just know he belongs with us! Look at him and tell me he doesn't have Fenton charms! I am sure Dan and Dani will love him too! He is such a cute little ghost! There is so much I can teach him! I will be the best dad ever to this wonderful little baby ghost! And-"
"Daniel William James Fenton!"
Danny bite his tongue instantly silenced when Jazz pulled out the full name call. Both him and the teen in his arms stared at her a bit shell shocked and in that moment Jazz couldn't help but hide a small amused smile at how similar Danny and the teen in his arms looked when they stared at her.
"Did you explain any of this to him?" She indicated to the teen, who's name she by the way still didn't know. Danny at least had the curtesy to look a little ashamed as Jazz pointed that out and let go of the teen so they could float on their own. She sighed with a fond smile before looking at the teen that looked a bit unsure between her and Danny now.
"What's your name?" She asked them with a friendly and encouraging smile.
"Jason...."
Current time...
Jason was in a little bit of a predicament. Originally he really thought he never would end up in this kind of situation espacially since he didn't think he would patch up things with Bruce any time soon. But we'll here he was...
Life liked proofing him wrong.
Like with he fact that Jason could use a ghost wail in dire situation. And that something like that would naturally call his ghost dad onto the scene since he collapsed after it.
And like with how he woke up in the bat caves med bay with both Danny and Bruce standing over him and glaring at each other. Or at least he thought they were glaring at each other that looked like a pretty annoyed stare in his eyes from Danny and Bruce's jaw was really tense from what was visible and not covered by his cowl.
So all Jason could do was endure at the moment. Aaaaand refuse to make eye contact with any of his present siblings. Mainly Dick because he wasn't sure how to interpret the others' smiles. For a moment Jason wondered if he could hide out in his ghost-dad's castle in the Ghost Zone for a while until whatever storm was brewing with Bruce was over.
There was also a moment in which Jason wondered if there could have been anything done to avoid this... confrontation(?). Before feeling the need to face palm because his Aunt that sort of has been giving him free therapy told him repeatedly that communication was key. He never regretted not listening to her more than he was right now.
To be fair. Communication with Bruce espacially hadn't been his strong suit for a while now before and after his death.
"So you are his Bat-Dad?" Jason did not like the way Danny, his ghost dad was using the word 'dad' right now. Oh good was he trying to challenge Bruce?
"And you are his Ghost-Dad?" Bruce grunted, oh now Jason was sure Bruce was giving Danny a glare, and Danny was getting that protective look in his eyes Jason was all to familiar with from his time as a dead baby ghost.
He groaned loudly sinking lower onto the medbed. Why did these things always have to happen to him? At least he was lucky that his Ghost Aunt and Uncle didn't show up too.
#danny fenton#danny phantom#dp x dc#dpxdc#dcxdp#crossover#jason todd#bruce wayne#ghost king danny#Baby Ghost Jason#Danny ghost adopts Jason#Ghost Dad vs Bat Dad#Not really#but Jason thinks that is what is happening#random ideas#no beta we die like men#prompt idea#Dani and Dan are the chaotic Aunt and Uncle#Jazz is the good Aunt#and offers free therapy to Jason#they love their nephew#So will Bruce and Danny get along?#or is a 'custody' fight brewing?#or maybe....

Can I ask for Natasha x reader where one of them calls the other one by their real name and the other one freaks out because they usually call them by petnames? Thanks!
Of course! I always love fics based off this idea 💞 this is kind of angsty because I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff alright 😭 also Малыш is supposed to mean baby in Russian, but I honestly have no idea how accurate that is
Terms of Endearment (Natasha Romanoff x reader)
Warnings: mentions of insecurity/self depreciating thoughts, not really hurt/comfort but also kind of?? Idk
You and your girlfriend Natasha had always been fond of using petnames for each other, often more so than your actual names themselves. Whether it be honey, sweetheart, darling, or simply just babe, you never ran out of cutesy names to call each other. But as much as you loved hearing the never ending abundance of pet names roll off Natasha's tongue, what you didn't love was how often you got teased for it.
You knew the other members of the team didn't mean anything by it and would stop if they knew how much it upset you, but the problem was you didn't really have a good reason for feeling that way. It seemed silly just thinking about it, childish even. So you kept your mouth shut, laughing along at their meaningless jokes as you made yourself a promise to cut down on the cheesy nicknames.
You hoped Natasha wouldn't notice the lack endearing terms on your part, but she did, of course. She always noticed the small things nobody else picked up on. It came with the job description of being an assassin.
Although she'd noticed it, she couldn't understand why there was a sudden change in your behavior, especially when she knew how much you loved the petnames you had for each other.
Because of this, she cut down on the petnames, too, and only used them when you were alone, hoping maybe she could solve the problem that way, even if she didn't know what it was.
It all came it a head one day when you were cooking together. It was just the two of you, everyone else either busy or in another part of the Avengers base.
Natasha was standing by the stove, making some sort of soup. "Малыш, could you hand me the salt?" She asked after tasting it and realizing it needed something.
The way you tensed up at the name she used for you did not fly past her, and it caused her to let out a small sigh. "Are you okay? You haven't been using nearly as many petnames for me as you used to, and I've noticed whenever I use them you seem... upset. Even when we're alone."
You let out a sigh yourself, knowing it wouldn't do you any good to lie about it. "I... I was hoping you wouldn't notice." You began meekly, looking down.
Natasha had a slight frown on her face as she turned towards you fully. "And why is that?" Her tone was gentle, but firm. It was clear she wasn't going to let you leave without some sort of explanation.
"It- its not you. Or me. Its the others," you confess quietly. "I didn't really like the way they teased me whenever I called you honey or babe, so I stopped all together."
She nodded her head, the pieces suddenly falling into place. "Ah, so that's why. At first, I thought I'd done something to tick you off." She joked, it making her heart warm to hear the laugh that came from you after.
"No, it wasn't that, and even if it was, you know I could never stay mad at you." You said playfully, finally handing her the salt.
She took it from you and added some to the pot on the stove before speaking again. "I'll talk to everybody, and tell them to lay off on the teasing, that way you won't have to worry about it anymore."
You gave her a loving smile, your tone filled with gratitude. "Thanks, hon."
She smiled back at the petname before giving you a soft kiss. "Of course, darling. Anything for you."

Avatar The Way Of Water x Deaf!Human Reader:
italics = sign
warnings: she/her pronouns, some cussing, bad writing 😔
an: idk if I hate it or somewhat like it. We shall see what happens… if people actually like this then I’ll make chapter two, if not then let’s just say this was a oneshot Lmao
Silence | Chapter One
Silence, if you had to describe your world to someone in one word, that’s what you would tell them because that's all it ever was. Sure you had some hearing growing up in your younger years. It was mostly muffled though like you were underwater but you did your best to make out as much as you could, but each day it had gotten worse, and the next thing you know, by the time you turned nine your hearing completely vanished.
When people say you should cherish things, don't take things for granted, and be grateful for what you have, you really should. Of course being a child that saying went over your head as you didn’t think much of it but now you wish you had listened to the wise words as you find yourself longing to hear your mother's voice, or the littlest things like the clicks of equipment from the lab or the buzzing from the fluorescent lights, one last time. Now, being sixteen years old, you could hardly remember what they sound like as it turned into a distant memory, all a blur.
Growing up your mother taught you sign language so it was easier to communicate than having to read someone’s lips. It was difficult at first as you had to learn to differentiate whether the person was speaking English or the Na’vi language but you managed.
Your mother was great friends with Neytiri and Jake despite Neytiris hatred for humans. Neytiri had a soft spot for you and your mother. You grew up along the side of the Sully kids and Spider, , you always had one of them along your side, as you weren’t allowed outside the lab alone due to Pandora's dangerous nature, they were all very overprotective of you, sometimes it got annoying but you understood why.
It was always surprisingly Lo’ak. He always took you on his adventures through the forest, exploring and finding new hang-out places. Sometimes Lo’ak could be forgetful as there were times where, when he had taken you out with him and he calls your name to get your attention, but when he receives no response it clicks back into him as he says ‘oh yeah, she can’t hear me at all duh’
When you turn around to look at him you find him hunched over with his hands on his knees as he laughs at his dumbness. You cock your head to the side as if questioning ‘what are you laughing at?’ and roll your eyes as he signs to you that he forgot you were deaf for a second. It concerned you sometimes that you were relying on this boy for protection.
Right now you, Spider, and the Sully siblings minus Neteyam were all in the forest following Lo’ak to wherever he was going hand in hand with Tuk. You and Tuk stop for a second and crouch down touching the plant that had caught your eyes, you smile as the leaves stick to your hands, You look at Tuk and could see a smile on her face as well as she playing with it but soon pulls away standing up tugging you along.
A frown finds its way on your lips as you look back at the plant while getting dragged away. You wanted to look at it for longer. You soon all come to a stop as Lo’ak turns around saying something you couldn't quite make out, You look at Kiri and she quickly signs to you what was said.
Looking back at Tuk you see her sticking her tongue out at Lo’ak while pouting, You giggle at her childish antics before you all continue back to where you were going. Finally reaching the spot the boys and Tuk go and climb up to wherever it was as you stayed behind with Kiri, Both of you laying in the grass next to each other. These are the times you wished you could have your hearing back, you closed your eyes and tried your best to imagine what kind of sounds could have been heard although there wasn't much to imagine as you hardly went outside of the lab so you didn't know what sounds there were in the beginning. The breeze from the air and the light shining down on you paired with the quietness eased your mind as you found yourself drifting off.
A little later you found yourself and Kiri getting woken up by a spider by his light shaking.
‘Have go back’ Spider signed to you the best he could with the little knowledge of sign he had, you still understood what he was saying as you nod your head and stand up following them out, leaving to go back.
Coming to a halt once again, Lo’ak jumps off the large branch you were all walking on and crouches down to the dirt where laid a footprint. ‘Is it an avatar’s?’ You sign to Lo’ak while crouching down next to him to get a closer look.
“Maybe…” he said out loud while signing at the same time. You turned your head to look at Kiri with your brows frowning with worry written on your face, Kiri could only smile at you while signing ‘It will be okay’ as she pats your shoulder.
You watch as Lo’ak and Spider continue to move forward and you all follow. Lo’ak quickly turns his head back and looks at you while bringing a finger to his lips, blush creeps up on your face in embarrassment as you bring a fist to your chest and move it in circular motions ‘Sorry!’
Crouching down hiding in the grass you all stalk forward, looking up ahead you could see the old shack and what seemed to be Avatar’s walking around with guns. ‘Are they from the lab?’
You ask Lo’ak who was crouched behind you. ‘I don’t think so’ he shakes his head, eyes still ahead.
“I better call this in,” Lo’ak says while walking back grabbing your arm to follow.
“No bro! We're gonna get in trouble!” Spider says in a hushed voice following you guys. You guys all move behind some trees as Lo’ak reaches to his neck about to press the button, You watch as he hesitates for a second. He did not want to get in trouble for the second time with his dad but he knew that he had to, this was important. You give him a reassuring nod with a hand on his arm as if saying it's okay.
“I got eyes on some guys. They look like avatars..but they’re in full camo and carrying ARs. There are six of them. Over.” You move your attention back to the avatar’s ahead as you watch them go through the old shack and look around as if they were trying to find something, but what was it?
“We're at the old shack.”
“Who’s we?”
“Me, Spider, Kiri…Tuk…and (Y/N)” Lo’ak hesitates to bring up the fact that he had you and Tuk with him in such a dangerous position.
“Son, You listen to me very carefully. Pull back right now. Do not make a sound. Especially (Y/N). Get the hell out of there. Move. Copy?”
“Yes sir.”
A tap on your shoulder pulls your vision away as Lo’ak grabs your arm again picking you up in his arms and catching you off guard. You look up ‘What are you doing?’ he ignored you as he was too focused on getting out of there. He was not gonna take his chances of you accidentally stepping on a stick and blowing everyone's cover.
Not even a second later an Avatar pops out from the bushes and grabs a hold of Tuk. Lo’ak quickly sets you down pushing you behind him as he pulls out his bow and points it at the many Avatar that appeared out of nowhere.
What is going on? You ask yourself as you swing your head back and forth looking in all directions to see that you all were surrounded. Although to everyone else there was loud screaming at each other and Tuk screaming, to you there was nothing. You could only watch as their lips moved, you tried your best to make out what they were saying but they weren’t pronouncing the words properly so you couldn’t tell.
One by one you all got grabbed by one of them, You tried backing up away only to feel someone harshly grab your arms pinning them behind you, you scream at the unknown hands as you struggled in fear. Lo’ak and Kiri were shouting at you to stop struggling hoping somehow you would hear them but of course, you don’t. You soon find yourself knocked down with a swift kick to your knees and pinned down to the ground on your stomach, freezing up as you feel a cold metal being pushed against the back of your head.
“Don’t hurt her!” Spider and Lo’ak shout out.
You felt useless as all you could see was the dirt ground beneath you, not knowing what was going on with your friends. Were they okay? Hell were they even alive? All you know is they could have been shot already and you wouldn't have a clue.
Quaritch signals to the man holding you to pull you up, you frantically look around checking to make sure everyone is okay before looking back at the man who stood in front of you.
“Two humans with the Na’vi? What's your guy's name?”
You saw his lips moving but couldn’t make out what he was saying so you turned to Spider.
“Hey!, Sweetheart, I asked for your name!” He shouted at you again, grabbing your face in his hands, and bringing it forward. The grab from his hand hurt as it grew tighter when you tried pulling away. You gave him a glare and spat on his face, watching as he furiously wiped it off with the back of his hand.
“She can’t hear you, dumbass! She’s deaf! She doesn’t know what you are saying!” Spider shouts at the man gaining his attention. Quaritch gives you one last look before shoving your face away and moving to Spider. You watch with a glare as they talk for a moment before you all get dragged to follow wherever they are walking before once again being pushed down, now with hands cuffed together.
It had gotten dark as the eclipse happened, feeling droplets of water fall on your skin as it began to rain. You were so lost while all this was happening, not knowing what was going on, who these people were, What they were gonna do with you and your friends. You were scared.
You wished you had just stayed back at the labs, where your mother was, probably worrying about where you were right now. Were you even gonna make it back to her? You watch as everyone's ears perk up meaning they heard something. You look at Lo’ak who was beside you. He looked down at his hands signaling you to follow and watch as he signed one word
‘Mom’
Looking back up you nod your head before looking away hoping no one saw what he signed.
Your back was turned from everyone else, you stood still not moving as you could feel the gun against your back so you were unaware of all the commotion that was happening, but you could feel the person behind you leave. You still stood there not trying to take chances.
The feeling of someone grabbing your hand startles you as you turn your head and realize that it was just Tuk, Eyes widening as you watch guns being fired, and a yellow gas releasing everywhere. “We have to go! Come on!” Tuk says to you, this time you were able to tell what she said and follow behind her as she ran, Lo’ak tailing right behind you.
You all kept running, your breathing became heavy as you weren't used to this much moving as you usually just stayed in the lab or at the most, walked around the forest, You kept looking back checking if anyone was following, not paying attention to what was in front of you, running into someone's chest.
You let out a scream, scared of it being one of the Avatars from earlier that had caught you but your face was pulled up to meet a familiar face in front of you telling you to calm down while placing a hand over your mouth to silence your screams but removes it as you quiet down realizing it was just Neteyam.
Your tense shoulders drop as you bury your face in his torso letting out breaths of relief. Oh, thank Eywa you are safe now.

Headcanon Series #16
Ice and Mav finally get their shit together after the Uranium mission. Don't ask me how, theories in the comments. Anyway, they kiss in public - on base or something, it looked very dramatic - they become a couple and the next morning Ice walks into the building he works in (enter important navy office) and half the officers he passes look very pissed at him, ready to bite his head off. Especially older ones he's known since the 90s or so. Most of them grumble some unfriendly sounding greetings into his direction. Some of the younger ones though smile at him with such happiness and sometimes clap his shoulder or congrate him, he can't really comprehend what's happening.
He shrugs it off and enters his office, only to find out his long time secretary and dear friend Mrs. Lesser is about to leave. For a vacation. She's never taken a vacation before. Sure, some free time over the holidays or when Ice took a break from work, but never longer than a couple days. Now she's gone for a few weeks.
The weird events continue when two hours later, a mad looking Admiral Hanson stands in his door and rants something about Tom being childish and stupid and how he could do such a thing. "Seriously, Tom. All those years and now you gotta pull a stunt like that? I thought better of you."
After the third officer passing his office and muttering something among the lines of "Really great, Kazansky," Tom calls for a meeting. He's the COMPACFLT after all. He outranks most people in the building. And this seems rather serious.
"Gentlemen, I am at loss for words. Your overall behaviour today has not only been out of line for work but also simply disrespectful. If this has anything to do with the events from yesterday, I can only say I am disappointed. We are professionals and the government, the state and the people depend on our work. We can't let something from any of our private lifes affect us like this. We're grown men and we should be able to handle such things like grown men. We can only function as a united front."
There's an audible huff at the other end of the table, coming from Admiral Marcus. "Easy to say for you, you got the guy you've been thirsting over for the last 40 years, I lost about 600$ because of you and Mitchell." Admiral James, who sits next to him elbows him. Tom's eyebrow start to wander. "How exactly do you loose 600$ because of me? Please, elaborate."
Opposite from Marcus and James, Admiral Cameron pulls a thick folder from under the table and slides it over to Tom. Whispers and even gasps erupt. "It's over, so he might as well know now."
Tom opens the folder and is greeted with a long list of people, dates that reach back to the 80's and huge amounts of cash written down. Between the pages are various copied documents of conversations between him and Mav, pictures of them together on various occasions and hand-scribbled notes with more dates and different statements on them. Tom's eyebrows almost disappear in his hairline. "What is this?", he quietly asks, afraid of an honest answer.
Cameron sighs and speaks up: "Some guys from your Topgun Class apparently started this in 86'. It was about when you and Mitchell would get your shit together and do something against that unresolved tension between the two of you. They expanded their list with every squadron you both were in because you guys weren't subtle at all but also extremly stupid and the rest got a kick out of betting who'd give in first and when this would happen. At the ceremony in the 00's, when you got your stars, an Admiral got a hold on the list and decided to join. He brought it over here and no-one couldn't really resist. And now we heard of you and Mitchell eventually putting an end to this. Of course people are pissed, they bet way to high on the wrong guy or year!"
Tom's eyes skim down the list. It seems like every person he's known inside the Navy has their name written down on the yellowing paper. He spots Mrs. Lesser on there and let's out a surprised chuckle. "Marywas really good. Got almost 3000$ out of this. No wonder she's on vacation." He drages his hand over his face to regain some grip on the situation.
"I can't even- how did you manage to hide this from me for so long?", is the only question he gets out. James laughs. "We're the military. We have our ways." By now the whole table is chuckling or whispering in amusement. Tom can only shake his head, but also smiles. "Can I take this home? I need this in a proper display on my office wall. Or maybe over the dinner table. And you are all invited to an apology-BBQ."
Okay, I know this was weird, but in my head I can see so many people in the Navy that just see Pete and Tom working together and they think like "Yeah, these two are totally gonna end up together." I love people shipping IceMav, I'm sorry.

Whumptober #20+Alt 2: Mashber
Mashber (breaking point): A crisis, birth, a wave
20: EMOTIONAL ANGST | Shoulder to Cry On | "It's not your fault." Alt 2: Communication Barrier
~
Janet's water breaks on July 18th, but her child doesn't come out until noon of the 19th. Part of her wonders hysterically if the child did it on purpose, knowing the date.
(She spends half her time bouncing on a big plastic ball, humming "Eyni Eyni Yorda Mayim". Part of her seriously considers naming the child Efrayim.)
Janet's child is seven weeks old when they welcome the new year, and despite it all she finds herself humming "Hayom Harat Olam".
At eight weeks old, she put her child to sleep with Un'tane Tokef.
At this point, she realises that her previous plans aren't going to work. Raising a rootless child is not a real option.
(There's an infantry version, a childish part in her that longs to pay it forward. The rhythm and melodies and every tradition she once swore to leave behind.)
And besides, she remembers bitterly, it's not like denying their heritage ever helped any of them.
~
Janet's child is five years old when they have This conversation. She is putting the final touches of her warpaint: eyeliner, sharp as a fresh Lulav. Her child is sitting on the bed, biting lips and serious.
"Mummy," her child asks. "Why did Mr. Smith say that you're a cake? "
Janet puts down her eyeliner.
"What do you mean, honey? Can you tell me exactly what happened?"
"Um," her darling child hesitates. "In the Chrismas party. At Caleb's parents? I finished- I said hi to everyone and. Umm. Caleb said they have sweets and he said I can't get the grown-ups cookies and I said I can and he said nu-uh and I said I do it. And there were a bunch of people stand by the cookies table and I couldn't go 'way and then they say mean things! They said that you're a cake and you killed someone and that dad only marry you 'couse you're escotic and-and-"
Jant's child is crying, and she closes her eyes and hate' for a second. Hate everything and everyone that got her kid to feel that way. That made her child feel hurt.
Janet takes a deep breath, and looks at her child. "some people lack the proper intellect to hide their small-minded brains. Don't let them know they got to you - but never forget who they are".
"But why they say you're a cake, mummy?" her kid isn't sobbing, but there's pain on the tiny faces. "I don't understand. You don't even like cake! you prefer biscuits 'cause they're smaller and less messy!"
(There's something pure and sweet in the innocence of childhood.)
And there are many things she can say. Many different ways to talk about hate and prejudice and decades of hurt and pain. There are many ways to talk about it, but she choses the way they always did it.
(She tells her child a story)
"well. Years ago, there were people who came from a distant land. And their clothes were different and their names and the way they spoke. Most of them didn't speak English when they came. And they were asked to write their names, they couldn't do it in the letters you know. The letters that the guards on the border wanted them."
"So why didn't the guards learn to read their language?"
"Because. Because sometimes, that's how people are. and so the weary people, the poor and tired who came from across the sea, were told to use an X."
"So they all signed with X?"
"No. Because, if you turn it over - the letter X looks like a symbol of the people that weren't kind to them. It looks like a symbol that, for many many years, was easy to rise and mark pain for their parents and kin. A mark that was a sign for hundreds and hundreds of years of pain."
"So they didn't use the X?"
"No. No, they didn't. They put down their name as a circle. a round shape, with no sharp edges to hurt others. And in their langauge, that shape was called Kayk. And ever since then, when some people try to be mean, they remind to this people and their kids where they come from: from the poor, weary people who came to a strange land - looking for a better life."
Mother's earrings are long, like teardrops. As the light breaks through, it almost looks like magic.
"And that's bad?" asks the child, still sitting on the bed.
"You should find your own thoughts," mother takes a second to point her soft brush. "What do you think? Is going far, far away, looking for a better chance in life, a bad thing?”
The kid's mouth opens, but the mother shushes them.
"No. Not yet. Don't answer me now. Think about it, and tell me about your thoughts when we'll be back from the gala."
And as she finishes the final touches, she can hear the child behind her take a deep breath.
"You said they call it to those people and their kids," the words are soft. "So why they calling you?"
And this is a long awaited conversation, one she can't have right now. So she take her child, her only-born, her loved one.
And as the weight of innocence is warm in her arms, she says, "because knowledge is power. And you will always be judged by things you can't - and shouldn't - change about yourself. Because small minded people are always out there. But at least you'll know the truth behind the words said."
"Is it the story of our family?" asks her too-clever child.
"Yes," she says. "And no. This is a story of Our People. This is a story of Our Kind. But this isn't the only one. Not even the most common. This isn't The Story of our family, but it's one of the stories of Us.”
~
Janet's child is only fourteen years old, and there are many things she regrets she never said:
(I'm sorry)
(I love you)
(I know)
(You are my child)
Janet is dying.
She is drunken, but not with wine;
And right in front of her: this cup of staggering; the beaker, this Kos Tre'la.
There are many things Janet wishes she told her child, and one she'll never regret:
"You are part of a long, brave dynasty. Never forget who you are. Never let anyone make you feel bad for who you are." (We shall outlive them)

The Orphan and the Clown Part 1 (Jerome Valeska x oc)
Masterlist
She sat on the steps of the trailer as she listened to her parents argue inside. The black hair that wasn't covered by her red hood blew in the cool breeze of Keysone City, her piercing green eyes scanning the grounds of the circus as a small sigh escaped her lips. After a bit the arguing died down so she got up and began to walk the grounds. Keeping her head down was always best, it kept her out of trouble and others from looking at her too closely, well it almost always kept her out of trouble but tonight fate wouldn’t be so kind.
The girl ran into someone's chest and fell. “Sorry, I wasn’t watching where I was going!” she said quickly, her voice quiet and childish. “It’s ok…I wasn't watching either. Here let me help you up." A boy said as he took her small hand and helped her up easily. “Oh, thank you. I'm Chance by the way.” she said quietly as she moved her hood so she could look up at the tall boy with red hair and blue eyes. “I’m Jerome, my mom is the snake dancer.” he said offering Chance a small smile. “I know, I see you with the snake sometimes" she said letting her hood fall to reveal her shoulder length black hair. “So if you don’t mind me asking…uh…why are you out here in the cold?” he asked running his fingers through his hair nervously. “Oh..um m-my parents are arguing…again…I don't really know what to do with myself so I just make myself scarce, ya know?” chance said moving her bangs from her glasses. Jerome couldn't help but notice how innocent and doll-like this girl looked. Chance had the appearance that she wouldn't hurt a fly…then again so did he. The ginger shook his head after realizing he had been staring. “Would you like to hang out at my trailer...my mom isn't there so it'll be quiet." he said making a big bright smile grow on her face. “I’d like that, thank you.”
4 years later
“J, you can't keep letting her treat you like this." Chance said as she gently placed an icepack on Jerome's shoulder. “She won’t get away with it forever doll." he said before kissing her gently and putting his forhead to hers as the two sat there in silence. Chance let out a sigh as her mind wondered. The two of them had met four years ago and in that time they became best friends and now lovers, not that anyone turned their attention to them enough to notice. Lyla’s name calling had cause many fights between between the mother and son but Jerome had insisted on keeping Chance close, especially after her parents left without a word one night after a show. Chance looks at Jerome and gently rubbed his check. “Come on, let’s get to bed” he muttered as he pulled her down on to the couch with him.
Chance was shaken awake to see Jerome standing over her with anger and annoyance. “J? What's wrong?” she asked tiredly. “We are going to take care of Lyle." he said as a twisted smile grew on his face and he chuckled darkly.

❝ i’m not jealous, who said i’m jealous? ❞ - butcher to starlight
JEALOUS, FIERCLY PROTECTIVE & TERRITORIAL PROMPTS || @nghtmarish
" Then why are you being so-- " MEAN. BUT THAT WOULD SOUND CHILDISH COMING from the young blonde, wouldn't it ? But it's also not a lie, and Annie is heartbroken by how he's behaving towards her. Sure, they've had their moments-- many moments, in fact, where the two of them bump heads and get on each other nerves. But, then it's met with him and her... together, taking their frustration out on each other, well, that's how it felt in the beginning. HATE FUCKING him turned into a mere addiction at some point, like a scratch she needed to get rid of, but the craving only BEGAN TO SPREAD. And now ? The blonde knows what it is she feels for Butcher. Annie dreaded it; she really couldn't just have sex without falling for him, now could she ? Feelings began to spark between the two; well, for her, it did. And that's her own damn fault; she set herself up.
She has been eagerly waiting for two long days to see Butcher, while feeling trapped in the oppressive environment of Vought Tower with Homelander. He publicly declared their supposed relationship to the world, even though they never had such connection ! All for the fucking points. Ashley and them all were THRILLED to hear Homelander claim Starlight as his lover, hashtagging it Homelight, their so-called ship name. Of course, he'd put himself first. But while everyone around Starlight appeared to be in the moment, all Annie could think about was Butcher--. Maybe Billy wouldn't even know. ( Why does she care if he finds out ? ) God, she knew why, but he should also understand what Homelander was attempting to pull. Annie could get to him before the episode aired and before it spreads across the world like wildfire. She never got to communicate with Butcher the next day, her schedule far more demanding now that she was ' HOMELANDER'S GIRL ' and co-captain of The Seven...
THE BLONDE COULDN'T FIND A MOMENT TO MESSAGE BUTCHER and let him know about what Homelander was up to. It seemed impossible to have privacy, with Homelander frequently looming over her. It felt as if he was continually intruding in her personal space, standing shoulder to shoulder and suffocating her with his presence. Homelight this, Homelight that. Just kill her already. She longed for a breath of fresh air, grateful for the opportunity to break away from Homelander and Vought. When she arrived at Butcher's, things didn't unfold as expected. He seemed unwilling to engage with her, and his demeanor brought back memories of the OLD BUTCHER – the one who despised her, rejecting any connection with her... that version of him was again present. He still harbored a deep-seated hatred towards Supes; every reason he had ever had to loathe them still burned within him. But lately, it seemed that his animosity towards her wasn't as intense as it used to be. The moments they shared together, just the two of them basking in each other's company, sharing laughter, and engaging in actual conversations, felt comfortable and effortless. She relished the way he MADE HER FEEL.
" It's not real, you know. Homelander and I. He's been getting a lot of shit after the whole Stormfront incident, you know that. He's USING me to gain approval points. Nothing more. This whole lover thing was his idea I- I didn't know what to do. It's not like I could push him away and tell him no ? It's his way or no way. I'm not apologizing for something I have no authority over. I tried coming to you as soon as I could but... I just... couldn't. Can you please just... listen to me ? Please stop this. I- if you aren't jealous, then what is this ?! Why are you being this way with me ? "

I didn't even wrote any actual story here, one day I will but I need to say this.
How come that in 5 SEASONS and 1 CHRISTMAS SPECIAL they couldn't portray a healthy or decent relationship between Marinette/Ladybug and Chat Noir/Adrien and ruin their characters the more it kept going while THIS MASTERPIECE
Literally did EVERYTHING right.
From the characters (Marinette and Adrien) personality, the way they interact with each other, Marinette not being confident in a bully kind of way but actually standing up for herself, Adrien trauma caused by his mom death and his father having this kind of Disney villain vibes (it reminds me of Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog) mixed with the Phantom of the Opera and he have a more interesting personality as a villain.
Also the rivalry and when they start to "fight" each other on the rooftoops literally made me feral, pretty much like this.
This movie literally did what the show couldn't do with the story and characters to make it good and you can't change my mind, even the relationship with Alya and Nino is cuter because the interest is there from the start, everything felt so natural between the characters interaction and their chemistry (both Alya/Nino and Marinette/Adrien) was so good I wanted to cry.
I gave up on Miraculous (show) because of how Marinette suck (stalker, obsessive, creepy, pretty much a mary sue who might not be rich but is still spoiled and never actually learn her lesson or always gets what she wants even when she shouldn't) and how they ruined my favorite boy Adrien (from starting as a boy who just wanted to make friends and experience the world to become somewhat of a brat, somewhat of a bad person and spoiled too who act childish because he got rejected), this movie in comparison to the show is way better and I'm glad they fixed all the problems from the show and the crush from Marinette side for Adrien is just way better, also Alya doesn't encorauge her stalking tendencies here.
I loved how they didn't make the Chat Noir/Marinette scene when they are both heartbroken and just made them reject each other in different "forms" like in the show and quickly move on from who they loved because the other understand the pain.
Maybe it looks better than Marinette x Adrien or Ladybug x Chatnoir but at the end of the day it's still the same people using different names.
Whatever issue they had with one person (example Ladybug not liking Chat Noir and the arguing after the rejection) will mix up with the other (Adrien) and change how you've seen that person until now completely, so in the end making Marinette fall in love with Chat Noir after rejecting him as Ladybug and making Chat Noir fall in love with Marinette after being rejected by Ladybug and him "rejecting" Marinette as Adrien is just a messy thing to do in my opinion.
Making them just reject each other without making Chat Noir fall in love with Marinette and vice versa is way better for when they actually discover each other identity because there isn't the same mess as in the show.
It's also true that Chat Noir was salty towards Ladybug at the rejection but he still did his job instead of complaining, sure he had to be called by Plugg and I still don't really like how he ignored the call for help because she rejected him, but he didn't know it was something way worse than the usual.
It still doesn't make it right but at least he didn't let the rejection take completely control over himself like in the show.
Chloe relationship with Sabrina and Marinette.
Sure it didn't gave the same development as in the show since she had less screen time but even there they did it surprisingly well.
At the end of the movie the two are actually somewhat friends with a friendly rivalry, Chloe doesn't try to stop her from getting to date Adrien.
I remind you that at the time Adrien was still thinking about Ladybug, Chloe backed away and let Marinette date Adrien despite she made clear since day one that she wanted to date Adrien, she clearly saw something that Adrien didn't notice in their relationship and she backed away to let them be together with the "threat" of taking him away from her next year, but it's obvious she won't.
Also despite she isn't exactly nice with Sabrina she still care as she's seen helping her after the attack with Hawk Moth.
Sure it still isn't a major character improvement since it happened off-screen but I can't really blame them since it's not a show and they didn't have time to focus on all the side characters.
Still at the end of the day Chloe was good and she didn't stop Marinette from talking to Adrien and let them be happy, because as I hope all of you know if you love someone you wish for them to be happy, even if that happiness means that you aren't part of it because they love someone else.
As for Hawk Moth himself, super cool, actually scary and feels like a actual threat compared to the show.
Also Gabriel still did suck as a father but at least he had emotions, the way they animated his expression, his pain, how you could clearly see the obsession of bringing his wife back having effects on him (you can clearly see him getting worse with time and he looks like a complete mess) instead of the show where you can't even tell the obsession is taking over him since he always acts the same way until he suddenly doesn't and decide to attack the city was amazing compared to the show.
In the movie the visuals for that were so cool, the music actually made it feel scary and the visuals too made it look actually dangerous and Hawk Moth didn't felt pathetic as a villain, he actually looked scary and dangerous.
Also the way they portrayed him and Adrien family relationship and how broken it was, how Adrien actually was affected by it and how you can see him actually care more than he does in the show was just amazing.
I still can't believe that in one hour they did better than 5 whole season and a special.
This kinda give me hopes for the other two seasons coming out but at the same time I'm afraid to expect something from it, it might even get worse XD
I want to specify something, as I already slightly mention it's true that the development for certain characters or ships lacked compared to a 5 season show, but here we are still speaking of a movie with a time limit that might never get a sequel.
Still if you tell me that Marinette/Ladybug x Adrien/Chat Noir have a better development in the show than the movie, the door is right here.
If you prefer them ok, that's your business.
However you can't tell me that stalking, creepy behavior, obsession is better than a somewhat rushed but with actual chemistry relationship between the two love interests.
I remind you that despite us adults/older than 8 years old people are watching this movie/show it's still mainly aimed for kids to watch.
I'm not here to do the "but what about the kids" kind of thing but this time I have to.
Miraculous the show suck because it teach that stalking, being creepy, not asking for consent and being possessive is good and that love happens for dumb reasons such as someone letting you borrow something, in short basic kindness.
Not to offend anyone but that's literally the concept of a Yandere.
The love story in the movie might be rushed but at least it doesn't portray a obsessive crush, it portray a normal crush between two middle/highschool students (depending on which dub you watch the show) which is kinda awkward because it's the first crush but also really sweet and innocent compared to the obsessive and unhealthy version in the show.
Does the Ship have more moments in the show?
Yes.
Does it make it good?
Absolutely not, the relationship in the show suck so much I can't even watch one episode if not the ones in which Adrien act like his episode 1 self (still kinda unsure but excited to make friends), when he becomes Chat Blanc or when they focus on characters that aren't Marinette (like Nathaniel and/or Marc focused episode, Juleka and/or Rose, Luka and/or Adrien etc.)
Obviously there's nothing wrong if you prefer the show, I've been there even if not with Miraculous.
I just don't agree with how the relationship is portrayed as romantic despite all the red flags in the show and the one in the movie might lack a lot of moments but it's still healthier than the one in the show and the characters are actually good.
However as I forgot to mention, this is just my opinion on the movie and show when compared to each other.
I'm not forcing anyone to agree with me and I respect your (whoever read this) opinion if you prefer the show, I don't agree with it as personal preference but I won't force you just because it's not what I like, so if you want to write why you disagree with my opinion feel free to do it, I don't dislike listening to other people point of views but I won't lie, I "gave" the show a lot of chances to redeem itself and I reached a point where I can understand, respect and listen to your opinion on why it's good but my mind won't change idea that easily/at all or agree completely with it, at most only partially.
It would be useless to lie and say that I agree with it when I most likely won't.

I just thought about writing more about Estellé even tho my Ideas are stupid making Estellé such an annoying character as possible hshshdbd but here it is! 💀💀💀
----------
When Estellé was sorted into Ravenclaw, she got later owl from her parents how disappointed they are she's not wearing the Snake and she probably don't deserve to wear it. Later her dad find out that Half blood Tom Marvolo Riddle is wearing that snake that was supposed to be Estellé, and so he started saying "how can that mudblood Riddle wear the snake that is yours. Maybe he did deserved it more than you as I see." "See? Even mudblood like him reached the house but you couldn't, you're not good enough to wear the snake" ....
That's why Estellé got the mindset hating Tom so much, that he have something that was supposed to be her and started to bully him kind of, never saying his name but call him mudblood ( basically for her Father, even half bloods are Mudbloods, there's no difference for him.)
And ofc Tom wouldn't let that slide, they were hexing each other, and call each other disgusting names or even bump into each other and smash each others books. How Estellé started It, it also got ended by her.
There was tradition in her family to became animagus before 17, she didn't wanted to disappoint her father again. She was trying for years, it made her excited and the stories her dad would tell her everyday when she was little. Having the leaf in her mouth for a month, drinking animagus potion on every lighting storm that comes, it was long process until that one day in 5 grade she made it. She thought as young she'll get more respect by her father
"look! She became animagus as young! We're so proud!!" But it was "became animagus as young is good but not good as wearing the snake"
Yet it just hit her that she doesn't care about her father's words anymore, it's tiring how he tells her everyday she's not good enough for the snake.
5 grade she became Perfect just like Tom Riddle and others. She saw how Tom was smiling at her so teasing, and laughed how he saw her scoff and leave right after dinner.
Tom saw how Estellé was changing, she didn't gave a shit about him anymore, what was her reason to stop ? He was curious, it was the perfect time to threaten it out of her. All he need to do is corner her up and say "what's wrong? Scared to threaten me all because you got the perfect badge? You don't deserve it" "you don't enjoy hexing me and nicknaming me anymore Astrée? Not funny anymore? Not enjoying?" The scenarios were repeating in his head, he was trying find the best one to say. It looked like Estellé was trying to run away from Tom, everytime she saw him, he could see how her chest was raising with anxiety and her heart beating, painting for breath running away from him, always find some way to run away from him.
Was she scared or just embarrassed for the years and drama she had with him. She's all grown up, she find out words have Consequences and it was childish to listen Father about the rivality again half bloods. Maybe she wasn't really meant to be Slytherin for so many reasons. Estellé decided to leave Tom just be, it didn't helped her to threaten him anyway
Yet still the words of her father was haunting her mind, never letting her sleep. She felt bad what she did to Tom as child, and now she's scared to even look at him, even go same way as he does. Maybe he would understand the teror she had in her household and the way her father tried to send her against half bloods.
In fact she would tell those things to Abraxas but it wasn't safe anymore when he became Tom riddle's friend and she started to ignore him, he wasn't safe for her anymore. Not mention the fact Boys were asking Abraxas where is his Ravenclaw rat that would stand by him everywhere he goes.
Abraxas tried to talk to her but her best friend Celeste would tell him always the same line:
"she is sick, please let her be." ( even she was healthy) it made him mad how she lied.
So Estellé spend long months thinking about how bad she was towards Tom, and that's when the bullying started, his friends would jump on her for things and even the littlest ones.
"you got more points at your test than Tom! You're such a teachers pet!" And insults. And they would even do it behind Tom's back, what he wouldn't care anyway. Abraxas didn't liked that idea, they wanted him to do it to her too but he denayed, it would ruin her and his friendship that was building for years even before Hogwarts.
~••~••~••~
The bullying kind of stopped for another months, it was relief Estellé, but she still felt she just deserved it.
Kids were excited to go to Rokville, maybe for the butter beer to 3 brooms, candy. She wasn't excited, her mind was still going trough something in her head.
BOOM!!!
A snow ball were hit in her head, little snow flakes all over head
Lestrange along with Avery, Garko were laughing and there he was. Abraxas standing here blank and watching her. Watching them doing this shit to her and not even knowing what was her reason. She could see how Tom was basically OBSESSED with her now.
And Rokville was actually really good reason when Abraxas could catch Estellé and give her talk but she slips her hand away from his.
"what's your problem Malfoy? Wanna throw snowball into me?"
"I didn't even throw one!"
"Just leave me, I don't have mood for any of the things that are with that God damn Tom Riddle!"
~~••~~••~~••
They didn't saw each other for long. As they were leaving Rokville, she disappeared somewhere. There was little frozen lake, yet still some broke frozen windows filled with water, idea lightened in her head.
"look a rat is trying to drown herself!!"
With every step she did, ice was breaking under her. It wasn't even a sec when the ice broke under her and fell into frozen water. She was getting cold so damn fast, cheeks cold, skin pale, nose and cheeks red. You wouldn't expect who came fast as possible, God damn Tom Riddle but she didn't saw who it was, she was losing mind from the cold, it was hella blurry, she could feel herself passing out.
He grabbed his scarf and pull it around her neck and tried get her into hospital wing as fast as possible. He had no idea why he do it, but he saw her from big clock window how she fell into the ice and no one would even save her, maybe he felt sorry for her?
~~~•••~~
Tom would check her everyday day into hospital wing but never actually showing up, he just stalked and listened. Profesors thank him how he saved a student from freezing to death.
Then he heard.
"I see you got Slytherin scarfs! Who it is!" - Celeste
"Abraxas." Estellé smiled warm to herself pulling the scarf around her neck "Abraxas, he..he wanted to talk to me but I was acting like a prick."
«Abraxas? He wasn't even with you!» Tom thought to himself and frowned, he needs to actually say it to himself that he was so obsessed whole damn 5 year with her.
"Abraxas? You sure? But anyway professors allowed me to bring you some soup!" - Celeste
Tom Left, why it should make him mad she thought it was Abraxas? Was he jealous? She was passed out when he came. She should thank him for everything, next time he won't be this kind.
----------
Opinions/questions are well appreciated!

Empty calls
Summary: Luffy keeps getting empty calls from time to time
A/N: pairing not present because I want to keep the surprise; credit to the owner of the slide photo on tiktok that gave me the idea, also thank @/mikasasasa for sharing the pics
The first time the Mugiwaras got an empty call it wasn't a good show to witness, Nami got very upset at whoever was on the other line. She mumbled something along the lines of "who is this stupid to waste my time on such childish pranks" after hanging up the call. She took the dedenmushi and left it in the kitchen, its prior position.
The second time it was a couple of months later, this time Luffy was the one to answer. No one was around so what was the matter if he answered. He greeted the caller as his usual, with his name and stating he was going to be the King of the pirates. Nothing, from the other side of the dendenmushi there was no reaction to such words.
"Hello??" he tried to make sure someone was there but nothing. "What's with you...oiiiiii" once again the captain never got an answer. He couldn't stay much longer, waiting for someone that probably wasn't there anymore.
A dark figure was standing next to the phone, a pen in hand and a notebook on the table, the figure wrote the date and 'he sounds happy' next to it.
Every once in a while the calls kept on coming, most of the times Luffy was not the one asnwering them but when he did, the figure kept on noting down the captian's mood.
Sometimes Luffy would be tired; other times his voice would manifest annoyace; other time. a fewer, he would sound sad. One time the figure heard the boy sniffing, sign he had been crying. The unknow presence wanted to ask why, why was he crying? Was because of something he was told? Did someone do something? What was happening? But couldn't, the person on the other side kept silence, Luffy asked once more if someone was there but after not getting an answer he hung up.
"Dragon" Ivankov's voice brought the man back to reality. "Who were you talking to?" they added but the man didn't give them an answer, he walked past his best revolutionaries and did not spoke a world. Ivankov got the signal, they didn't say more, they just let the boss on his way, whatever that was.
Dragon was in his room when he noted Luffy being sad that day. He felt like he had to do something but was Luffy going to accept his help after all this time? He wasn't the best father someone could have asked for. He has never been present for the boy, leaving his son with his father back in Fusha, never reaching to him all those years.
"Is stupid" he said, he knew Luffy didn't care about him. If Dragon was to help him, Luffy would have raised hell. The captain of the revolutionary army had a thought on what his son would have thought of him 'how dare he helping just now. Where was he when I needed a father? Where was he?'
The man closed his notebook and left it on his desk, changing into something more confortable he went to sleep praying whoever was listening to keep his son, Monkey D. Luffy, safe and happy.

it feels like a dream, to have his family back. all of them in the same room again. he feels drunk on it, the edges of his vision are nearly hazy, relief has every limb on his body feeling uselessly weak. that could be the exhaustion and the dehydration talking, too, but he pushes that away. he refuses to be away from them long enough to take care of himself. hazelle insists on it, as is expected of her, and he meets her halfway by offering her the promise of rest as soon as he can. he knows he won't be able to go too far into the afternoon before she's forcing him to sleep.
he basks in the booming laughter of his siblings and the way his mother's face lights up with it. she even lets them wreak havoc around her hospital bed, within reason. they poke each other and tease, playing childish jokes, as it should be. he hopes they continue to be blissfully oblivious to everything around them.
he takes them on walks around the wing, to give his ma a much needed break from handling all of them at once. he thinks it's funny, the way his hand is still covered in soot against their already cleaned up ones. it's almost as if he's coming back home from working in the mines, again, when the days had felt endless and he thought he'd never see his family again, if he got too much in his head. the reality of losing them had been closer than ever now, but they're safe. he reminds himself of it constantly, and tries not to flinch when posy's hand slips from his to run off ahead.
he doesn't expect to see her. katniss looks so fragile that he worries, for a moment, that posy might break her in half with a hug too tight. it's an odd sight, something that unearths some kind of sadness from his chest, a weird brand of nostalgia, although he can't recall ever seeing her look this frail before. it's hard, to process that, so he doesn't. he stands, glued to his spot on the ground, and lets his siblings greet her first.
he'd spent the last week resenting her so easily. it'd been effortless. he'd felt abandoned, though the phone in his suite worked both ways and he never once considered picking it up. he had said things he wasn't proud of, he had thought even worse things he couldn't take back from his mind. but there she is, and she is still one of his people. but that is an indisputable fact. that doesn't change the abyss between them, and it doesn't melt the rigidness in his muscles as he stands there, watching, a step too far to be seen.
he approaches, at last, because he must. "katniss," his voice calls out, testing her name. he'd known she was sedated, kept somewhere safe and secluded. he hadn't tried to see her yet -- he would've eventually. just not yet. she charges towards him and his arms are ready to catch her, wrapping around her middle, knowing this embrace too well. this time, his arms are careful in their hold. she throws her tearful relief onto him like a blanket, and he almost feels unsuitable for it. undeserving. it's like he forgot that she could be worrying about him, as his mother had been, and his bewilderment feels misplaced. "you're alive, too," he offers, his voice lighter than it had been in weeks. lighter than the last time they spoke, no doubt. "i went to twelve, got people out. me 'n cael." peeta's brother, is the sentence that dies on his tongue. he doesn't want to bring up his name, at the risk of hurting her with it. "we're okay." he pulls away from her to see her face, but keeps an arm around her middle, supporting her, just in case. he doesn't like to see her cry. the last time it happened, he hadn't felt a thing. now, his heart shrivels at the sight. asking are you okay or any variation thereof would feel redundant. and asking prim later would earn him a more honest response. "didn't expect to see you walking, catnip." the nickname feels alien on his tongue but it's right, like he knows this is the part he plays. this is what she needs from him.
setting : district thirteen infirmary, around six or seven am in the fourth day after the arena blew up. with : gale hawthorne (cameos by primrose, rory and posy bc that matters 2 me) @mxllitiam
at some point, she realizes she has been placed in a singles room. apparently, this is a great privilege — mockingjay privileges, she almost rolls her eyes at that — but as the drugs begin to wean out — something lilian has extensively argued about, apparently, as her mother should outrank a vanishing mentor's advice — katniss realizes she doesn't like it at all. in a way, she's grateful about the privacy from other people's eyes and judgment, but someone at the door keeps calling primrose to go help in the actual infirmary and katniss begins to feel bad about keeping her there, holding her hand, all the time (nevermind that if she's in such close supervision, she can't find a way out. and that's the biggest concealed concern whenever she hears the doors swoosh).
they let her out. it's not truly a permanent discharge yet, but it's her first attempt of life in four days and it's not like she can viciously attack anyone when she needs prim's arm around her so her legs won't give in as she walks. they go through the levels together, accompanied by a soldier that gives her a look as she begins stepping more firmly, and prim's fingers intertwined with her own instead of holding onto the eldest's waist. thirteen is underground. another time, this idea would have made her cower and have a panic attack, but what's another one? she can merely look up, and then down, and watch as the rooms are organized, as she listens about the seventy-five years district thirteen hid as cockroaches while all of panem suffered (if her time drugged out of her mind didn't define her hatred for thirteen, this does).
eventually, they make it back to the hospital. the walk had brought life to her — strengthened her legs after days without use for them, brought a pink tint to her cheeks, a constant beading of sweat to her forehead and a small shortness of breath to her chest — but she feels herself faltering as she approaches. everyone who had been hurt by her and was still alive was here. she wants to go to her own room, blame it on the fact that her serum drip is finally over, but she hears a squeaky, familiar voice call her name and she freezes. "katniss!" screams the seven year old hawthorne, wiggling away from one of her brother's hands to hug the victor. at times, katniss would pick her up — even if, at seven, posy already carried the tall genes from the hawthornes that made her too tall and lanky to be carried — but after days, her arms are too weak and she struggles even to crouch down.
she does bring a hand to the girl's dark curls, feeling her eyes swell with tears; she contains them as she sees posy is crying, however. "hey, little blossom." katniss greets her. "don't cry." it feels hollow when she wants to cry, too. "hey, rory." the hawthorne brother approaches easily; she realizes him and prim have gotten even closer throughout the past year, but she prefers not to point out (or think about) in what way. she looks around them, and sees familiar faces. a family from the seam smiles at her, and a single pair of siblings from town are quiet, but they look her way too. twelve recognizes twelve, but this is no matter of pride when she's the one who doomed them, and they probably know it. she looks away, and feels prim's eyes have joined everyone else's upon her; they haven't talked about it at all, lest katniss have another attack, but seeing the few people around from what had been her home is worse.
then she hears someone that is even more familiar, and the sorrow is too suffocated by shock and relief that she can not feel it. katniss pulls away from prim and lets go of posy, using the renewed strength from her legs to throw herself on gale's arms. "you're alive!" the tears she held back now fall freely. she had thought him doomed, between the capitol or the ashes of twelve, but he's alive. he's here. "how did you- were you in twelve?!" hadn't they last met in the capitol? the memories of that are too unpleasant for her to linger on, not right now, not when he's the last man she ever loved that still breathes.

gone pt2 || thomas shelby x reader oneshot
part one
warnings: angst!!!
words: 809
a/n: hi !! i realise it’s been a looooonggggg time since i wrote the first part. a whole 7 months. i’m sorry to anyone who was waiting, i just haven’t had the motivation !
-
He'd woken up again, his heart pounding almost painfully in his chest, and on instinct he groped the sheets for your body, to pull you close to calm his racing heart. You had always been there to help him calm down on nights when he had nightmares of his time in the war.
But his hand hit the bed, bringing back the memories of the week before.
You were gone.
You were gone and it was his fault.
Pushing himself into a seated position he ran a hand through his hair in an effort to calm himself, but only you could ever do that.
Now his heart felt heavy and painful for a reason beside his memories of war, it felt heavy with loss, a gaping whole where you used to be.
He'd been careless that night, but then again, he had always been that way. She knew that when she got with me. He tried to tell himself, in a pitiful attempt to take the blame away from himself. But he couldn't, he knew in his heart that there was no one to blame but himself for his loss of you.
With a sigh he rubbed his temples, feeling the way they had beaded with sweat during his nightmare, his hair sticking slightly to the skin.
He then allowed himself to relive the memories of the night he got home.
-
He'd come home, with a childish hope that you'd be there waiting for him like usual. He'd assumed his time away had allowed you to calm down, to forgive him. But when he arrived home and called out your name, the halls feeling empty, he realised he couldn't be more wrong.
Frances, his maid, had nervously made her way towards him, hands wringing in front of her chest as she tried to think up a way to give your final words to him. "Frances..." His voice trailed off, expressing a weakness she'd never seen on his face in her time working for him. He was silently begging her to tell him he was wrong, that you were still living there. That you'd gone out for lunch with your friends or you'd wondered off into the grounds for a picnic in the fields like you used to. But the tearful look on Frances' face and the regret in the sigh she let out told him all he needed to know.
He'd finally driven you away.
"Sh-She left a note." The woman before him mumbled, fiddling in her pocket for a folded piece of paper you'd scribbled on in anger. She hadn't let it go since you'd left that night. You'd always been fond of each other; despite the age difference many a day were spent together when Tommy was away.
His hands almost shook as he reached out for the note, grasping it in rough fingers, trying to hold back the burning sensation that blossomed behind his eyes. Unfolding it carefully, almost afraid to damage what might be his last remains of you.
What followed on the page was a heartbreaking display, years worth of a relationship scribbled down on a page, all of it coming to the end with one sentence.
I cant believe I trusted you
The handwriting was shaky, but Thomas, knowing you, knew it was from anger rather than sadness. And it was that fact that made him dismiss Frances in a sharp snap, practically begging her to go so he could cry in peace. You'd never been one to show anger, for him you'd buried it down, you'd spoke before of a fiery rage that caused issues in your youth, you'd never wanted to subject him to that. But now you had, the bleary writing was blatant, it told him all he needed. He wasn't getting you back, not now, not ever.
But you'd always been that way, a fire he could never contain, a spark just waiting to catch, one gust, one push away from burning the whole house down.
He'd rather be standing in the smouldering wreck of his home than standing there, still in his pristine, empty house, nothing but a letter left of you. Because it wasn't a home without you, it was an empty shell, encasing years of memories, love he'd just discarded like a burnt out cigarette.
He missed your scolding touch, your burning embrace. You radiated a warmth that he couldn’t generate himself, a heat that crawled up his body, to soothe his cold heart.
And now he’d ice over. He’d freeze without your fire.
But he deserved it. He’d put out your flames, he’d ripped out your scorching heart, letting his icy hands still it’s blazing beat.
He deserved every bit of hatred you’d thrown at him, every single scathing word of the vicious letter you’d left him.
He deserved the fact you were gone.

Some help
Note - this is a sequel to first night but can be read as a stand alone as well. Sorry for the months of delay. These maybe my words but my dear friend lizzygal(on ao3) helped me a lot! Couldn't have done it without her.

Warnings - 18+ only please, dub con, so much smut, soft dark!Steve and Bucky, Bucky is Steve's half brother, mentions of period sex, mfm threesome, some analplay, breeding kink, homophobia/sexism (cause it's medieval times).
Pairing - King!Steve x reader, Steve x reader x Bucky, Bucky x reader.
Word count - 5.8k
Masterlist is linked in the bio!
“Steven,” you hummed next to his ear, his name smoothly rolling off your tongue. He never gave you the permission to call him that but you were his wife and soon-to-be queen, who would dare stop you?
He quirked a brow, looking up from the book he was reading to you, his blonde hair shining so brightly in the sunlight, the blue in his eyes even more prominent. “What do you want, my love?” he asked. Touching your lower lip with his thumb, pulling it down a bit just for his own amusement.
He had suggested a picnic with you to be more romantic. As you had demanded for him to be. It was his own fault, as much as he loved taking you apart and putting you back together every single night that wouldn’t be enough for a women. His late mother had taught better.
Never hit a woman. Always protect her and provide for her. Never force yourself on your wife.
He knew better than to even look at a woman the wrong way. He was well aware of his fathers philandering ways, how he had more than a few bastards, and the bruises his mother worked so hard to covered up.
Even though his half-brother Bucky was a product of an affair, his mother took him in and treated him as her own. Bucky had saved his life more times than he could count.
Looking at your pretty face now, he knew he could never do anything to hurt you. He loved you far too much, even though he had yet to tell you that. He knew for sure that anyone who dared hurt you would die a gruesome death by his hands.
“Would you like to play a game? I’m bored of reading.” you whined, pouting your bottom lip as his thumb stroked your chin.
You had been married to the king for over two months now and things couldn’t be better. You were sure he’d be cruel towards you, what with the way he treated you on your wedding night. But... apparently that was just a part of coupling. He only ever acted like that in bed.
He refused to let you have your own room. A king and queen sharing chambers was unheard of. At first, you weren’t sure what to make of it. He had given you the excuse of wanting a son as soon as possible and that there was no way he could keep his hands off of you.
“Sure,” he closed the book keeping it aside, “What would you like to play?”
“Well, I used to play tag with my sisters. So... um... I run and you chase after me, if you’re able to catch me then I run after you,” your eyes lit up. You hadn’t had a moment to breath or have childish fun in weeks with your wifely duties, which we’re too fun to be called ‘duties', and your duties as the future queen.
He shook his head, caressing your face “Can you run? You’re so clumsy, princess, I don’t want you to hurt yourself.” he teased. He had tried to teach you how to ride a horse but you seemed to have no sense of balance.
You puffed your cheeks, “I won’t.”
“You drive a hard bargain,” he laughed “What do I get if I catch you?”
“What would you like?” you blinked.
He hummed in thought, he could ask you what he really wanted. But it’d scare off a good girl like you. He’d have to train you and discipline you some more. You were still shy and inexperienced. It’d take time and he was more than willing to wait.
“I want a lot of things... but right now I’ll settle for a kiss,” he smiled.
“Just a kiss,” you giggled “deal,” you shook his hand on it before getting up and fixing your skirts.
“I’ll give some time to get far enough. It’s no fun if I catch you in a moment and win,” he smirked.
“We’ll see,” you hollered over your shoulder, already on your feet, running as fast as you could.
You ran for the woods near the palace, towards the small waterfall you loved so much.
Laughing in mirth, with the soft summer breeze in your face, you couldn’t bring yourself to care about mudding your skirts. You craned your neck to see if he was following you, sticking your tongue out to him, “You’ll never catch me.”
He frowned at that. He was running at a much slower pace, just to let you have your fun but he wasn’t about to let you get away with being so cheeky. It would set a bad precedent. Increasing his pace, he circled a hand around your waist, sweeping you off your feet and in the air, “What was that, princess?” he whispered huskily in your ear.
“Oh,” you shivered, squirming in his hold “It’s not fair! You’re a warrior, of course you’d be more athletic than me.”
“Now, don’t be a sore loser,” He pressed his lips to your cheek. “You’re only as good as your word,” he said putting you back down on your feet as you turned around to face him.
“Fine,” you grumbled, standing up on your toes and puckering your lips to kiss him.
“What do you think you’re doing?” he asked, stopping you.
“Kissing you?” you frowned.
“You promised a kiss. But we didn’t decide on where it would be.”
“Where do you want it?” you tilted your head, frowning in confusion.
He took a hold of your wrist, bringing your hand down to his crotch to make you feel his arousal. His chasing after you as if you’re his prey, had done something to him.
You gasped, “No! My king, not here.” you shook your head. You had only pleasured him with your mouth a few times, it was hard work but worth it to see make him feel good and seemed to work you up for some reason as well.
“You’re denying your king?” you shook your head again, “Get on with it before someone comes and sees us. It would be a scandal,” he rushed you, working on freeing his erection.
“I - ” you gulped. You had no other choice.
“Your grace!” you both whipped your head as you heard someone calling. “Your grace,” Peter came running through the bushes.
“What’s wrong?” Steve fixed his pants before walking towards the boy.
“We’ve just received word. The enemy has seized the fort in queens.” he heaved “and - and they’re terrorizing the villages. They killed the Lord and his family.”
Steve processed the new information. This was bad. As good as he was at fighting a war he’d never want to willingly do it. Not unless it was a last resort. It caused too much death and misery.
He had married you just to avoid one with your kingdom, hoping to make a firm, or a good enough, alliance instead. It was a blessing in disguise really.
“Alright. Get the troops ready. We’ll leave at first light. And send for Lord Barnes,” he instructed.
“My king,” he heard your trembling voice looking behind to see you so scared, hugging yourself to make yourself small, “Are you leaving as well?” you wanted to know.
“You know I have to, petal,” he replied pulling you flush against his chest. He nuzzled his nose in your hair “You have to take care of the kingdom while I’m gone.”
“But I don’t know anything.” you sniffled.
“You’re much stronger than you think,” he swayed you both to calm you, “ and on’t you worry. I’m leaving Bucky behind. He’ll guide you.”
“No,” you pulled away to look at his face “you said that he’s your sergeant. Don’t you need him?”
“I need the kingdom to be safe, too. Sweetheart, I know what I’m doing.” He said kissing your knuckles.
You twisted and turned in your bed. Missing the warmth your husband provided you with. But he had been gone for over a month. You had to post pone your coronation and your visit to your parents.
You drowned yourself in the courts activities everyday, hoping to keep your mind off of things. If anything happened to your husband, you couldn’t bear it.
You were surrounded by people everyday, who seemed kind but you had never felt so lonely. They were only kind to you because they were scared of you. They didn’t really know you.
And you didn’t know anyone there, except for James. While you had developed a friendship with him he was often busy with his duties.
You gave up on sleep. Putting a robe on to cover yourself, you made your way to James' chambers with your guards following you.
With the king being gone and you visiting his brother in the middle of the night - you knew it wouldn’t look good. You couldn’t think about that right now. You needed to speak to James. To confess your anxieties, to have him reassure you.
You didn’t bother to knock, you nudged the door open. You blinked, rubbing your eyes just to make sure you weren’t seeing things. A woman was straddling his waist, bouncing up and down on his cock, you didn’t even know women could be on top, another was... sitting... on his face? Why would she do that? Wouldn’t that suffocate him?
When she threw her head back, moaning wantonly, you understood. Your cheeks heated up as you realised what he was doing. Just like Steven uses his tongue and mouth on you...
“Oh heavens!” the one on his face gasped as the other one stopped her moments, looking at you as her jaw dropped.
“What?” James grumbled.
“It’s the queen,” she winced as they both got off of him, collecting their clothes “I’m sorry, your grace - we’re sorry,” she gave you an apologetic look. Scurrying their way out as James quickly put on his breeches.
“Your grace,” he greeted you. “What brings you here?” he grunted, wiping the sweat off his forehead.
“Who were they?” you asked. You had no idea how or why you felt so betrayed. James was his own person, he was known to be a ladies man, you should’ve expected this.
“They were whores, your grace.” His lips twitched as he suppressed a smirk at the incredulous look on your face. Steve had told him about your naiveté, how it was so adorable and how it strangely turned him on. He seemed to love having you as his wife, that was for sure.
“You’re doing this, while your brother is off fighting a war?” you scoffed.
“It was just a way to clear my mind, princess,” he retorted. “How can I help you?”
“I - ” you couldn’t even think of anything, what would you say? Why were you here anyway. “I miss, Steven,” you said, your bottom lip trembling as tears welled up in your eyes.
“Oh,” he smiled.
You truly were adorable. And while he was happy that his brother had someone who loved him so deeply, he couldn’t help but feel a tinge of jealously. Steve had someone like you. Who loved him for who he was. Who was missing him and waiting for him to come home.
“Steve is very capable. He can take care of himself. Don’t you worry, he’ll be back before you know it,” he promised.
“We haven’t heard from him in days. What if, god forbid, something terrible had happened,” you choked on a sob, hugging yourself you thought of how miserable your life would be without him.
Not just because you’d have to take on an entire kingdom but also because you didn’t know what you would do with yourself without him. If you’d never see his face again... you couldn’t think of anything worse.
“Hey, now,” he was about to reason with you, but you wrapped your hands around his waist, burying your face in his damp chest. “He’ll be back. Have some faith,” he said.
Steve had never been good at sharing. Even as a kid he’d often be vaguely jealous. Since he was much smaller and sicklier than Bucky back then.
Bucky had to be on the receiving end of his simmering rage when he had danced with you at a soiree. It was supposed to be just an innocent dance, but you looked so beautiful, he couldn’t help himself as he flirted and joked and made you laugh.
Only to have Steve kick his ass in sparing the very next day. He didn’t say anything, he didn’t have to. It was as if with every punch and kick he spoke 'don't touch my things.'
Who could he blame him? If he had a wife such as yourself he’d never want to share either.
If Steve were to see this, you hugging him while he was half naked and unchaperoned in his chambers in the middle of the night...
“I should go,” you murmured, looking up at him, his dark hair, much longer than your husbands, sticking to his handsome face.
“We can talk tomorrow. And don’t you worry your pretty little head,” he cupped your delicate face, swiping a thumb across your cheek, “Steve will be back.”
You nodded, walking towards the door, hoping to catch some sleep before you have to wake up for court, but then stopped abruptly.
Looking at him over your shoulder, you shouldn’t... you’re a lady, you’re the queen! You should know better but you had always been a curious girl.
“Can three people... make love at the same time? Is that possible?” your hands clutching your nightgown as if your life depended on it.
He gave you a hearty laugh, running his hand through his hair, “Not just three, many people can make love together. The most I’ve seen is... six.”
You turned to face him, “Six?!” you gasped. “Do men like doing that? Would that mean... would the king want something like this as well?”
“Yes, many men do... if you know how to treat a woman right then she would too. But you don’t have to worry about Steve. He’s never been THAT perverted.”
You hummed, and here you were thinking your husband was the most perverted man alive. “Can... two women make love together?” you had always wanted to know.
“Yes, they can. Two men can as well,” he answered.
“How would that work?” you frowned and then realised how it would, “But sodomy’s a sin!”
“Then I guess I’m going to hell,” he smirked.
“Have you been with a man?”
“Yes, I have. Do you hate me now?” he pouted.
“No,” you shook your head, “I could never hate you. I’ve always felt that was ridiculous. There is no reason for it to be unethical... right?”
“That’s right,” he nodded.
“I won’t tell anyone though. I wouldn’t want anything bad happening to you.”
“That’s kind of you, princess.”
You faked a wide smile, nodding here and there to make it look like you were listening. You had started a book club with the ladies of the court, just to get your mind off of Steven, who had now been gone for over two months.
He had stopped writing to you, only sending messages to the James and the kings guard now. He had finally defeated the enemy and was on his way home. You couldn’t think of anything else.
“Your grace,” you jerked when you heard your handmaiden whisper in your ear.
Looking over your shoulder, “What is it?”
“His majesty is here,” she grinned, visibly happy for you.
“What?” you got up, “Where is he?”
“He’s in his chambers. We tried to stop him, so he could get a proper welcome but he was much too eager to see you,” she giggled.
“Ladies,” you turned to them, trying to curb your giddiness and act as elegant as you could, “You’ll have to excuse me. Please do continue without me.”
Steve groaned as he felt his muscles loosen up in the warm water, looking around his chambers for you.
“Where is the queen?” he asked his footman. He had sent for you over an hour ago and his patience was running thin.
“I’ll look into it right away - ”
“My king?” he heard your sweet voice calling for him, “He’s not here...” the partition to the bathtub probably restricting your view of him.
He chuckled at how disappointed you were, “I’m right here, petal,” he called, getting up from the bath as his footman helped him into a robe.
His heart swelled upon finally seeing your pretty face, letting out a shaky exhale, he took you in as the servants excused themselves. He pulled you into his chest, enveloping you in a warm hug. “How’s my queen doing?”
“Lonely without you,” you mumbled, propping your chin on his bare chest so you could look up at him, “You... shaved...” you touched his smooth jaw.
He looked much younger and different without his thick masculine beard. Not as rugged as he used to, just as handsome but in a boyish way.
“Yes, I did,” he kissed your palm, “Do you like it?” he asked as you nodded. He had only done it for you. He hadn’t been able to take proper care of it when he was away and he wanted to look presentable for you. “I’m sorry you were lonely, my love. I was too, more than you could ever imagine. All I thought about was you.”
“Do you promise to never leave me for so long again?”
“I’ll never leave you. I don’t think my poor heart could bear it. You’ve turned me soft.”
“I won’t have you make fun of me!” you half-heartedly pushed at his chest.
He held onto your wrists, for someone so small and dainty you sure could do a lot of damage with your punches, “I swear I’m not making fun of you, I love you,” he confessed.
You laid your head on his beating heart so he wouldn’t see you all flustered, “Well, I love you too,” you grumbled.
You noticed the gash on his neck, “You’re hurt!” you gasped, “We should call the doctor...”
“I’ve had much worse, so don’t you worry your pretty little head about it,” he smiled at you biting your lip in worry, always so adorable, pulling it away with his thumb, he bent to nip at it. “I missed the way you taste, I’ve been thinking about it for so long, it’s the only thing that got me through.”
You hummed, your face heating up as he pressed his arousal into your stomach, his hands holding onto the curve of your hips. “My king...” you shivered.
“We can talk later, right now I have to have you, I know you missed me too...” he whispered against your ear.
You felt a shudder creep up your spine as his hot breath fanned against the shell of your ear, “Maybe later, if you let me tend to you first.”
“You want to take care of me?” he beamed at you as you nodded. “Very well. But only for a few moments after that I won’t hear any more excuses and put that mouth to good use,” he said, pressing his lips to yours one more time.
There wasn’t much you knew about treating wounds, you were only doing so for your own peace of mind anyway so you simply cleaned the few scratches and gashes he had, kissing them like your mother did to your wounds when you were little, remembering how that always made you feel better.
“They’re the best kind of medicine,” he said about your kisses, “I have a cut here,” he said pointing at his lip, wanting some more of them.
“Don’t tease me!” you huffed.
You felt his muscles go stiff as you kissed him between his shoulders, now that you didn’t have to look at his face it’d be much easier for you to talk, “I heard the ladies at the court talking, they were saying if I can’t get pregnant in three months it means I never will.”
The thought of being barren and a disappointment to him terrified you to no end.
He shook his head, “You need to stop listening to gossip - ”
“But,” you interrupted him and pouted your bottom lip quivering as you recalled their harsh words when they thought you weren’t listening, “They also said that if I can’t get pregnant you’ll get a second wife,” to which he laughs, “don’t laugh at me, you always make fun of me,” you puff your cheeks.
“I’m not cleaning you up anymore,” throwing the rag on the ground, “or letting you make love to me.”
He growled at that, turning around and pinning you to the bedding, “You don’t get to decide that, love, or tell me no, when will you understand?” he scoffed as if he was scolding a child, sneaking a hand up your skirts and inside your breeches. His fingers toying with your wet lips.
“Now that I’m back we’re going to try to make a prince every night. Before you know it you’ll be swell with my child, I won’t stop then though,” he smirked, “I’ll have you whenever I want,” it’ll only be better when your body would be fuller and curvier with his heir.
“I’m never taking another wife, ever,” he said, pulling his hard cock out of his robe, pushing it into you slowly, your walls gripping him tighter than he remembered, better than his hand could ever be, “This is the best cunt I’ve ever had. There��s no way I could ever have another,” he tried to fight off his climax so he could make you come at least once before filling you up as you squirmed and whimpered under him, “... you’ve ruined me.”
This was strange. It was almost time for bed and Steve wasn’t back. Usually he’d back much sooner, so he could perform his husbandly duties. Even though you had been trying, so hard, for over a month you had gotten your menses just a few days ago.
You were so disappointed, you didn’t have the heart to tell him, but you had to when he tried to coax you in bed. Sobbing in his arms as he calmed you, “We’ll try again, we have all the time in the world,” he had said and you couldn’t believe how kind he was. Until he had his way with you anyway, even while you were bleeding.
“As if a little bit of blood if going to bother me.” While there was you purpose for it, you knew you couldn’t make a baby while on your monthly you now also knew that you could do it with your husband solely for pleasure.
“When will the king be back?” you asked your maid as she worked on helping you get ready for bed.
“I saw him on in the gardens with Lord Barnes,” she answered, helping you into your nightgown, “Shall I send him a message?”
“No, that’s alright.”
You dismissed her, sitting on the edge of your bed you worked on a scarf you had been stitching for your mother while waiting for the king. You planned on giving it to her when she would visit you for your coronation. She would be expecting some good news as well and you hoped to have that for her as well.
You perked up when you hear the doors to your chambers creak open loudly, putting away your work for now you made sure to look into the mirror one last time to look presentable.
“How was your day, petal?” he hugged you from behind, burying his nose in the crook of your neck, “You smell so good,” he hummed.
“Steven,” you giggled. “Thank you, I had a very long day with the preparations for the ball and the court.”
“Hope you’re not too tired,” his voice salacious and hoarse with desire as he cupped your breast through the thin material.
“No,” you shook your head, “Not at all. I mean... not too much,” you added so you wouldn’t seem too eager, “do you want to...”
“There’s someone joining us tonight.”
“What do you mean?” you turned to look up at him, his blue eyes, usually as blue as the sky on a summer afternoon, much darker now.
“You told me how much Bucky helped you and how much you loved him, right?”
You nodded, you hadn’t really used the word love, you were quite fond of him but didn’t know yet if you loved him.
“Hey, there, princess,” you yelped when you heard James' voice before seeing standing at the door.
“I told you to wait,” Steve gritted.
“You were taking too long,” he took a few long, lazy strides as you scrambled to put a robe on. “You wanted to know how three people can make love at once - now you can find out for yourself,” he said to you.
Your chest heaved as you swallowed a lump of air, “Steven, what? What’s going on?”
Steve cupped your cheeks in his palms, pressing a lingering kiss to your forehead, “My mother told me to, made me swear on her deathbed, to take care of Bucky, to look out for him and I haven’t been doing that. I’ve been selfish with you...”
“You’re always selfish with the things you like,” Bucky chided.
“But I’m working on that. I have to get better at sharing, if I have a woman as good as you, I am obligated to share.” He tried to explain as Bucky pulled you away from him, your back pressed to his front, “Bucky,” he scolded, “wait a minute, will you?”
“I’ve waiting long enough,” he licked a stripe up your neck, leaving goose bumps on the wet skin, “You’re right she does smell good.”
“I don’t understand... is this a test?”
“No, petal. Bucky’s going to help us conceive. After you give me my son you can give us both daughters. As beautiful as you. I’ve always wanted a girl,” he smiled.
“What if people find out,” you tried to swat Bucky’s hands away but he pinned them both on your back, undressing you and taking off your robe, followed by your gown.
“They won’t. Even if they do, who’s going to stop us?”
“But.... but... doesn’t James want a wife and kids of his own?”
“He has sworn his life to protect the crown. He can’t marry or have kids.”
“Do you want me to go away, princess?” he asked you, ripping your gown away as it pooled at your feet, leaving you naked in front of both of them, “Do you want me to marry another woman?”
“No...” you shook your head.
And because he had grown tired of your questions Steve kissed you, if only to shut you up. He pulled away as James threw you over his shoulder, carrying you to the bed and thrown you on the bed.
He pushed your knees apart, settling between them he traced your inner thighs.
You tried to push him away, to close your legs. The idea of being with James was tempting... but you had sworn yourself to Steven. This wasn’t supposed to be right. This is not how it’s supposed to happen... you can only be with your husband. But it was also your duty to obey him... and he wanted this to happen.
“Steve, a little help here,” Bucky groaned and looked to Steve.
He simply shook his head, climbing on the bed, he pinned your hands above your head, “I told you she was feisty. That’s alright, though. I like it when she struggles and pretends that she doesn’t enjoy it when I fuck her so hard and deep,” he looked down at you as you pleaded him with your eyes, “Till you can barely think or walk straight. She likes it, but she’d never admit it.”
You whimpered, fresh tears streaming down your face as your husband spoke such vulgar things about you...
“Oh!” you squealed, feeling James' finger prodding at your entrance before sinking into you.
“Gotta get you ready for my brother,” he cooed, soothing a hand down your hair, “Shh... it’s okay, just take it like a good girl. Don’t you want to be good for us? To please your king and give us princes and princesses?” he asked as he kept his fingers driving in and out of your heat at a leisurely pace, “Well?” he prodded further.
“Love,” you look up at Steve when you heard his gritty voice, “Bucky asked you a question. Maybe I didn’t make it clear enough but from now on you have to listen to both of us. Do whatever we tell you. We know what’s best for you.”
You nodded, your eyes misty as you felt your abdominal muscles clench, “Yes, yes I do want to have your babies,” you whimpered as James latched onto a hardened bud on your breast, you held onto Steve’s hands as the coil in your gut snapped.
“Fuck,” Bucky breathed out, looking at your fucked out pussy, glistening with want, “I’m going to fuck you, just for a bit, get you stretched out and warmed up for your husband,” he declared, his cock achingly hard at just the idea of it as he rid himself of his clothes.
“Steve told me all about how you have some magical pussy, he’s addicted to it,” he lined himself up to your entrance, looking up at his brother for just a moment before looking back to your face, “now I get to find out for myself,” he moaned as he pushed his length inside you.
“Isn’t she something?” Steve said, licking away your salty tears and letting go of your wrists since you were done being a brat, “You always look so pretty when you cry,” he praised as you whined, he held your jaw and made you look down, two sexes meeting, Bucky’s cock fucking in and out of you, “Whose cock do you like better, sweetheart?” he asked you.
You shook your head, refusing to answer, closing your eyes you let yourself get lost in the feeling of James, he was stretching you out so painfully and deliciously, your mind cloudy and unable to think or even form a coherent sentence. You felt the familiar coil forming in your belly but then James abruptly.
“Damn,” he heaved, slipping his cock out of you, “I almost came.”
“What?” you blinked as Steve switched places with James, spreading yours juices around your drenched lips, heat radiating between your legs.
“You’re all warmed up nice now, petal,” he pulled his hand away, taking his cock out of his pants, “I want you on all fours,” he instructed, flipping you over.
You barely had enough strength to stay up but James helped you by pulling at your shoulders, his hard cock bumping against your nose as you winced.
“Arch you back nicely now, I want to see your ass,” he pushed at your lower back till your ass was perched up to him, smearing his pre ejaculate against you, he sank into your heat. Moving his hips brutally against you, since you were already prepared for him.
“Will you suck me off, princess?” Bucky asked but didn’t wait for your answer as he pushed his erection past your lips, shuddering as you licked the underside of his cock, “Steve taught you well,” he breathed out. Holding onto your head, driving his cock in it, you couldn’t take all of him, but you didn’t have to, this was more than enough.
Steve had loved you since the moment he met you. He didn’t know if he could call the impure thoughts he had about you love but it was the closet thing he could think of. He wouldn’t even let another man touch you, let alone use you or fuck you like only he is allowed to.
But this was different. This was Bucky. His brother and soulmate. They were basically the same person, they could share you. He loved the idea of starting a family with you both.
He flipped you so you were on your back, he kissed you, “I’m going to fill you up, sweetheart, why don’t you come with me? Can you do that for your king?” he snaked a hand between your bodies, rolling your bundle of nerves between his fingers as Bucky whispered sweet nothings to you, telling you the names he had picked out for your kids, as you clenched around him, gushing all over him.
He released inside you, coating your walls with his seed. He pulled away to look down at you, his chest heaving as he tried to catch his breath but he stayed inside you, to make sure his seed stays in your womb.
He smiled as you weakly wrapped you hand around Bucky’s cock, stroking him till he released all over you, white spend painting you pretty skin, all over your breasts and your stomach.
He finally pulled his soft cock out of you, laying beside you as Bucky pulled you on to if him.
“Give me a minute to get hard again,” he ran a hand through sticky hair.
“Take all the time you need,” Bucky smiled, nibbling your ear, playing with the mess between your legs, you tried to squirm but he kept a firm hold on you as he played with your sensitive pussy.
“Didn’t you hear? He’s going to fuck you again, we have to keep you ready, princess,” smearing some of the juices around the tight ring of your second hole as you gasped. “Maybe you’ll be able to take both of us at the same time someday, hm?”
“That’s... possible?” you asked as he pushed a finger in, it was strange and uncomfortable, yet you wanted more of it.
“Of course, you can. With proper training,” he kissed your temple as Steve climbed back on top of you both.
Nudging at your swollen cunt, you winced in pain, “Is it too much, petal? Do you want me to stop?” he wanted to know. He’d love to fill you up some more, but not at the expense of your discomfort. He had scared you enough already.
“No,” you held onto his shoulders, “I want it, please,” looking at him with shining eyes. He could never say no to you. Just as you to him.
“Whatever you say, love,” he smiled, licking your lips till you grant him access to your mouth, he prodded at you tongue.
He was slow and steady, mindful of the bruises on your body and your overworked cunt. He was close as Bucky pushed two fingers inside you and around his cock, stretching you out even more.
He was about to reprimand him, to tell him to be more patient with his delicate innocent wife, but you screamed out in beautiful agony, exploding around his cock and begging for more. From Bucky or from him, he wasn’t sure.
“Maybe we’ll get our son tonight itself.”

Double edged scalpel ch. 8
Ch.1 Ch.2 Ch.3 Ch.4 Ch.5 Ch.6 Ch.7
Summary: Fluff? Smut?? Stuff???
---
It was still early morning, if the bright light and faint chirping coming from out the window were anything to go by. Cassandra had been awake for a while, her body not needing nearly as much sleep as humans did.
She looked down to where Nicole's face was pressed on top of her chest, cheek slightly squished against the skin. Sleep had turned her features into soft lines, unlike her usual nonchalant façade that she wore like a crown. Though the dark circles under closed eyes were still present and, Cassandra mused, probably a permanent facial feature at this point.
The brunette couldn't help the small smile that curved her lips. She couldn't remember the last time someone had been in Nicole's position, so willing to let themselves be embraced by the shadows of the castle and wear the title of her "lover" with such grace. She wasn't even sure someone had been there before.
Though as endearing as the sight was, Cassandra was starting to get bored. Nicole's position half on top of her meant she couldn't really move without waking her up. How much sleep do humans need again? Eight hours? She was pretty sure it'd been eight hours. Besides, what harm would it do to stay and cuddle for a while, not that anyone other than the small redhead in her arms would ever be allowed to know about her apparent love for such things.
She hesitated for a second, the memory of Nicole jolting awake not too long ago making its way to the forefront of her mind. She would have to be more careful than Bela had been, opting for the gentlest way she could muster, fingers gingerly trailing down her cheek.
Cassandra frowned when the redhead flinched slightly at the touch, but soon let out a content hum upon hearing her name whispered by the brunette. Nicole didn't even bother opening her eyes. Instead, she nuzzled into Cassandra's neck and tightened her grip around her waist ever so slightly.
"Mmornin'," she said as if she actually had any intention of getting up.
"Slept well?" The brunette asked, shifting to lay on her side and starting to play with the long auburn locks sprawled on the pillows.
The reply she got was little more than a hum as her half asleep lover shifted and readjusted her position. Nicole's hand started to gingerly trace her spine upwards, then down again, on her waist and then stilled for a moment. She finally opened her eyes and looked somewhere past the brunette locks blocking her view. The arm on Cassandra's waist was removed and stretched towards the nightstand for a few seconds only to fall back on the bed accompanied by a soft groan.
"Can you pass me my phone…" Curse you, short arms.
To her dismay, Cassandra started to laugh at her struggle, earning herself a sleepy glare. She did oblige though, turning slightly and picking up the small object from the nightstand. With the phone finally in hand, Nicole unlocked it and let out another groan at the hour.
"It's so fucking early."
"It's 8 a.m." Cassandra raised an eyebrow when the redhead simply tossed the small object on the bed, probably never to be found again given it's sheer size, and turned back in her arms with an almost childish whine.
Nicole really wasn't a woman of many words in the morning.
"Why'd you wake me up so early?"
"I was bored," Cassandra answered simply.
Of course.
After another small groan, Cassandra decided to change tactics. Her hand moved from red hair down Nicole's bare back. She felt her breath hitch when she got to her hip, slender fingers going in ever so soft circles over the skin and the fabric of her underwear.
That seemed to wake the redhead up at least slightly. Her lips started to lazily move across collarbones, leaving a trail of kisses and an occasional nip. Then up her neck, hand now tangled in dark hair and giving it a light tug to tilt Cassandra's head and get better access to the spot right under her ear. She left a light bite there and the brunette let out a small moan, hand now fully gripping Nicole's hip and pulling her closer.
Cassandra's thigh, now placed between her legs just right, was hard to ignore but Nicole was a woman on a mission. She shifted her weight, now fully straddling the brunette and continued her trail of kisses along her jaw until she finally reached soft lips. Cassandra moaned in their kiss when Nicole's fingers came to rest around her neck, giving it a faint squeeze. She slipped her tongue past slightly parted lips and her other hand started to slowly trail lower.
The sense of satisfaction she got from Cassandra's impatient whine was hard to describe. Revenge for getting woken up so early.
"Just touch me already," Cassandra broke their kiss momentarily, and the redhead decided to be at least a little lenient.
She shifted her hips, giving way for her hand to wander beyond black lacy underwear. One finger started to circle her already wet entrance ever so lightly, causing Cassandra to buck her hips impatiently.
"Nico- ah!"
Her complaint was cut short by two of Nicole's fingers entering her. Cassandra squeezed her eyes shut and bit her lip, stifling a moan.
The rhythm of her fingers was slow at first, enough to elicit a few more groans from the brunete, but her pace steadily increased. It wasn't long before Cassandra was grabbing at the sheets, not trusting her claws on Nicole's back anymore, and trying to clench her thighs together.
Nicole kissed along her neck as she came, the pace of her fingers slowing until Cassandra relaxed under her. Then, she pulled her hand away and sat back down on the soft sheets, taking in the view of her lover trying to catch her breath. When golden eyes finally fluttered open and looked up at her, Nicole grinned.
"Thought you didn't need to breathe."
"Do not get cocky with me." To her credit, Cassandra tried to glare, but her eyes were soft and lips turned into a small smile.
Sweet revenge. Although, Nicole mused, if Cassandra woke her up this early again she'd make her beg.
"I think we should start getting ready."
They still had a few hours to spare, but being early never hurt anyone. Cassandra seemed to have other plans though, as she placed a hand around Nicole's throat and pushed her down into the pillows.
It was Cassandra's turn to straddle her hips, her much taller frame giving the impression that she was a predator ready to sink its teeth into a meal. Paired with the devilish glint in her eyes when she leaned down to whisper against Nicole's lips, it was all too hot.
"And not return the favor? Who do you take me for hmm?"
So much for revenge.
---
Arranging tools next to the autopsy table has always been oddly relaxing. Repetition and the soft clinking of metal against metal when the scalpels were placed in their place. The leather gloves as she slid them on her hands. The apron that was waiting to be put on. All a comforting routine.
With some time to spare, she went to stand behind Cassandra, who was scribbling something in one of the many notebooks she had around. Many, Nicole had learned, as opposed to just one that magically appeared everywhere. She looked over her shoulders to see what she was writing and frowned.
She had one of the textbooks from Nicole in front of her and seemed to be correcting old notes from god knows how many years ago. Notes in german.
"Do you… speak german?" Nicole inquired. She wasn't necessarily surprised but it was weird it had never come up.
The brunette only let out an mhm and finished scratching out something, replacing it with the information from the book. In english. "And french, italian, hungarian, and some russian. My russian's really rusty though, been a long time since it was in use around here."
Okay. Impressive. Nicole supposed that being immortal does come with benefits such as infinite time to learn different languages. Cassandra let out a chuckle at her surprised look.
Then she checked the hour and snapped the notebook shut. Showtime.
Clank
They both froze.
Their eyes darted to the door, left slightly ajar.
Clank
"You… heard that right?" Nicole's question was so low, it would've probably gone unheard if not for sensitive vampiric ears.
"Loud and clear. Stay here."
And she should have really. Cassandra was strong and could take care of herself. Whatever was making noise was probably a bored prisoner wanting to quicken their demise.
But the sinking feeling in her gut gave her no peace. Whether it was worry for Cassandra, the fear that crept up her spine at being left alone, or a mix of both was anyone's guess.
She grabbed one of the scalpels from the tray.
It gave her a false sense of security as she slipped through the door and down the dark corridor connecting the study to the cells.
One of the perks of being small? You can hide almost anywhere. And this was no exception. The shadows hid her well while she stepped for the first time past old cells. Some run down, some full of devices not unlike the ones in the room she had just exited.
She could hear a growl up ahead and came to the realization that it belonged to Cassandra. She was frustrated at something and Nicole wondered if being there was really a good idea. Most likely not. But she came all the way there, might as well see what got the brunette so upset.
She started walking towards the sound of heels against stone and was about to call out Cassandra's name when a shadow caught her eye. She froze.
From where she was, still enveloped by darkness, she saw something peeking around a corner at her lover, but it's back almost completely turned to her. Someone, she realized as she strained her eyes to take in more details. A man, no taller than Cassandra, ragged clothing and something shiny in hand.
Panic took over when she realized that shine came from the reflective barrel of a gun, half in position and ready to shoot. Shoot at Cassandra.
She sprung forward, stealth be damned with how loud her boots sounded against the stone underfoot. The sound alerted Cassandra, who turned in her direction wide eyed. It also alerted the man, who spinned on his heels and let out a choked scream that seemed to ring in her ears.
The sound died in his throat when the scalpel was plunged in his neck, through the trachea and whatever other veins and arteries the blade found in its path. He leaned back against the wall, disgusting gurgling sounds making their way past bloody lips.
"Nicole!" Cassandra was by her side in the span of a second. She wanted to turn to her but instead she stumbled forward, almost crashing into her arms.
Something was wrong.
Adrenaline was finally starting to leave her body and instead searing pain was making its way in her muscles. Her head was starting to spin but she managed to look down only to see a crimson stain on her abdomen. An ugly contrast with her white uniform, really.
Her ears were ringing, but she faintly registered Cassandra let a long string of curses spill past her lips.
Then she was picked up, the wound in her abdomen sending jolts of pain with every hasty movement. She couldn’t help crying out when Cassandra presumably reached the dungeon steps and started ascending.
Staying awake was becoming an increasingly hard task. No matter how much she tried to keep her eyes open, it resulted fruitless as black splotches were starting to obscure her vision.
She finally let her lids shut, her head slumping against Cassandra's shoulder as nothingness started to envelop her foggy mind.

This is the first fic I've written since I was, like, 10? Please be kind :’)
Victoire gazed across to the bed of Kuan Hui, where her superior and fellow astrophysicist lay engrossed in another of the books she had lent him. She wondered how long it would take him to notice she was staring- not that she was staring, of course. Absolutely not. All she had come in here to do was return that odious lovecraft book he had made her read- oh what was the point in denying it, there was no way she could ignore the fact that she found him attractive. More than attractive. As he would probably put it, super fucking hot. Ah. the thought of him saying that about her, well that just sent butterflies-
“Fourier?” she snapped out of her trance, a blush no doubt across her cheeks. “Why are you here exactly? Not that it's a problem, of course, it's just unlike yo-” he stammered out the last phrase before being cut off.
“I won’t pester you too long, considering you’re clearly enamoured by decent literature. I don’t blame you- if I’d been limited to the pompous bullshit you’re so fond of I would have cried the first time reading that.” Victoire enjoyed very little about being aboard the hephaestus, but mercilessly teasing her coworker- and, she supposed, crush- certainly eased the stress she was placed under.
“Ok, ok, get to the point,” Kuan rolled his eyes.
“Alright, calm down, I came here to return this. Couldn't bear to keep it on me any longer than I had to.” Kuan slotted it into the space in his shelf- ever the meticulous perfectionist, her Hui. before victoire could spiral back into daydreams of passionate kisses and other such flights of fancy, kuan said,
“Well, I'd ask what you’d think, but I'm pretty sure I know the answer to that. Will you be staying, or shall I continue with this infantile babbling you’ve subjected me to?” ignoring the playful jab, she was taken aback that he asked her to stay- or implied that she would? Before Victoire even had time to register what was coming from her mouth, she had already replied.
“If you don’t mind, I will. I've still got a couple hours until my next rotation, and i'm too caffeinated to sleep just yet. And i call bull on you thinking its childish- i must've been standing there for at least twenty minutes before you noticed me.'' Now it was Hui’s turn to blush, as Fourier realised what she’d so foolishly let slip.
“Nevermind that,” she quickly dismissed,” what other tomes of self-righteousness do you have up here? She climbed onto the bed next to him, peering up onto the shelf. Shocked by her sudden boldness, Hui managed “I-umm- there's a couple good ones up there- Stoker, Austen, Dickens to name a few.”
“You actually read dickens? Unironically? I swear I haven't read that crap since college.”
“You did your degree in-”
“Yes, I'm well aware, Hui. forgot you lot call it high school. Doesn’t change the fact it’s over articulated, dull, tedious- ”
“Pot kettle black” Hui sighed. “Well, if you think it’s really that much effort, I could read some to you?” Victoire’s heart skipped a beat. Did he just- fuck it. Better just accept.
“I wouldn't say no,” she said with a wink.
Kuan felt like he was going insane. Was it just him, or did the girl he’d spent 250 days flirting with finally respond with something that wasn't obliviousness? He knelt upwards to reach for Dracula by Bram stoker. He heard a faint noise of humorous disgust from fourier. “It's a good read! Not that you'd know anything about that,” he added playfully “anyway, what do you like? You haven't lent me anything aside from Wodehouse. You can't have that niche taste.”
“Well, mainly comedies. Before,well, all of this, I had just started reading graphic novels. And if you really want to know” she leaned closer “i'm particularly fond of romances.”
Hours flew by, and Victoire found herself entranced by the smooth richness of Hui’s voice. So much so that she barely noticed herself slowly laying beside him, her head settling upon his shoulder. Even so, she didn't care, and he didn't seem to either. She didnt know exactly when she stopped actually paying attention and started drifting off, but she was soon in a deep slumber.
Kuan noticed. Kuan definitely, very much noticed and his heart was betaing at such a rate that he became quite concerned that it would wake the sleeping beauty beside him. He set the book aside, quite sure victoire wouldn’t care that he was no longer reading. Gently, he placed a kiss on her forehead. So much for being caffeinated, he thought. Just a couple minute, yeah, and then he would wake her for rotations.
Within ten minutes, there were two people asleep in doctor Hui’s bed
