I love it when pre Original Trilogy era shows how much effort went into making the Death Star. It took decades, literal decades, and it took so much money and so many people and it was such a secretive thing and it’s staffed by millions because it’s the size of a small moon.
I cannot express how much all of the added information makes it so much funnier that Luke blew it up.
Luke destroys literally everything Palpatine built. He blows up the Death Star, which was referenced in universe as early as the second movie. He blew up the weapon of mass destruction twenty years in the making. And he blew it up pretty much directly after it’s first and only successful attack. It was operational for fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes that Palpatine had the thing he’d been building for longer than Luke has been alive, and Luke blows it up. First day retirement, but first hour retirement.
Luke convinces Darth Vader to turn back to the light side, a feat thought literally impossible by literally everybody. Sidious clearly doesn’t see Vader’s betrayal coming. Vader’s betrayal was not in his plans, nor was it something he was prepared for. Sidious is a powerful Force user with all four limbs while Vader is a man in the tin can Palpatine put him in. If Palpatine had seen Vader turning coming, he would not have allowed it to happen.
Luke literally should not even be alive. Palpatine almost definitely got Padme out of the way on purpose, and he almost certainly was trying for her unborn child as well (there was way too big of a risk that a cute liddol bebe would bring some humanity back to Anakin, and Palpatine did not want Anakin to have any humanity) Luke living is literally the first step in Palpatine’s ultimate downfall, especially once Vader finds out that Luke is his son. His very alive son. His son that is not dead, despite Palpatine claiming Anakin killed Padme. Implying that Anakin killed Padme and she posthumously gave birth. But, she didn’t give birth on Mustafar, which was the last place Anakin interacted with her. And once the mother dies, you have to get those fuckers out fast or they die too.
I imagine Darth Vader piecing all of this together is that meme with all the math floating around his head, because how could Padme have died by his hand and then given birth like two hours later?
Luke killing Palpatine is what ultimately leads to the dissolution of the Empire as an omnipotent entity. Luke killed the Empire. Luke spends a good amount of his adult life killing Empire remnants. We see that in the Mandalorian, since he’s so recognizable that Gideon immediately knows he’s fucked just by seeing an X-wing. We read it in Legends’ continuity, where Luke terrifies Imperials because he can walk into their changing room and stand in their for a minute and they don’t even notice.
Luke destroyed Palpatine’s life’s work. Everything Palpatine spent his whole life working towards, and Luke kills all of it. He blows up not one, but two Death Stars (he may not have pulled the trigger on the second Death Star, but without him, it never would have been destroyed). He convinces not one, but multiple Sith and Dark Jedi to return from the Dark Side. He is the only reason that Obi-Wan Kenobi, the biggest pain in Palpatine’s ass ever born, lives long enough to make it to the Death Star.
Palpatine went through so much effort. And just when he had finally won, when he finally had a weapon capable of destroying entire planets with a single blast, making it impossible for any planets or peoples to go against him, Luke shows up nineteen years late to the Jedi party with space Starbucks and a droid twice his age and almost singlehandedly destroys everything Palpatine ever had a hand in creating.
Luke manages to become even worse than Obi-Wan Kenobi, the ultimate thorn in the side of politicians, and Luke doesn’t even understand any politics. He wasn’t trained in diplomacy like Obi-Wan and Leia, no, he’s a farmboy who left home for the first time in his entire life, just this morning. And he is the one to destroy the Empire.
If they rewrote Star Wars and had it entirely from Palpatine’s perspective, Luke Skywalker would be his greatest foe. Luke Skywalker would be the final boss. Luke Skywalker is the antithesis of everything Palpatine believes in and he is the one character that Palpatine cannot predict. He isn’t as moldable as Anakin, he doesn’t respond to threats very well, he’s apparently impossible to kill via Force lightning (still the funniest scene of all times, the progression of Palpatine’s face falling and him looking like “what the fuck??? Is this kid rubber??? I’ve electrocuted him eight times???”), his unwavering faith in his father’s goodness makes Darth Vader want to be a better person, Luke Skywalker is the big bad of Palpatine’s story and—
There is nothing in this world that is funnier than someone’s biggest antagonist being Luke fucking Skywalker. Luke Skywalker, who saved the galaxy with the power of love and who shouldn’t exist, by Jedi rules and by Palpatine’s own attempts, and whose best friends are literally droids, which Palpatine canonically hates!
Everything about this is hilarious, this is the funniest thing in all of media, Palpatine loses absolutely everything to some backwater farmboy who fucking likes droids.

The Wild Side was so adorable and my heart wouldn’t be able to take it if you wrote something for the other characters (and Azra!) Maybe their animals from the Magical Eggs event would work, but I’d love to see your take, too.
a/n: I’m using the dateables’ onesies for their animal inspiration. I wouldn’t put it past solomon to jinx them somehow during a sleepover.
the wild side: slumber party edition | the dateables + azra
1k words | sfw | more silly fluff + humor
cw: relationships can be romantic or platonic in nature (your choice) except for luke, he is our baby brother and must be protected at all costs.
Lucifer arrives at the Demon Lord's Castle with little fanfare. You were supposed to be having a slumber party with Diavolo and the residents of Purgatory Hall, and he incorrectly assumed there was no possible way things could go wrong. He started receiving a series of alarming messages from staff at the castle that something strange was going on. He hears a disturbance as soon as he lets himself inside the main entrance hall. A loud ruckus coming from the ballroom, typically used to host the young prince's lavish parties, draws his attention. He opens the door and is completely stunned, shocked into silence by the chaos he finds within...
The Dragon (Diavolo)
It's a minor miracle that he's not a full-sized dragon. He's a bit smaller than Cerberus is and the ballroom is spacious—he has plenty of room to stretch his wings.
Judging by the scorch marks across the ballroom's marble flooring, he hasn't figured out how to control his flames yet.
(As soon as Lucifer walked into view, Diavolo snorted happily through his nose. He shot flames across the room and another set of curtains is currently on fire.)
Diavolo's still aware of his size and potential danger. He does his best to keep away from you and Luke who are at the greatest risk of being stepped on.
His scales are very warm to the touch. Barbatos can't land on him without injuring himself, so he squawks angrily at his young master from a safe distance.
He was excited to host this little sleepover for everyone to watch some new movies together, but he thinks this is even better!
The Owl (Barbatos)
He's very anxious, but you can tell he looks at you differently vs. the way he looks at Diavolo Solomon everyone else...
He doesn't believe in regicide, but Diavolo is going to be punished severely after this. And Solomon, too—this is his fault!
(Being a dragon is no excuse for his master to engage in such reckless destruction. He's going to burn down the whole castle at this rate!)
The Little Ds are enjoying this far too much and slacking off on their duties while they watch the madness unfold. The least they could do is help put out these wretched fires...
Barbatos doesn't seem to be nearly as intimidating in this smaller form. Diavolo rolls his eyes when he hoots at him, and the Little Ds keep tugging on his tail feathers teasingly and dashing away.
(If they think he's going to forget this, they're sorely mistaken.)
He gives up on trying to reign in the mayhem and tries to stick close to you instead. You're so small and fragile in your little sheep form, he worries the others might hurt you by accident. He pecks at them to remind them to be gentle.
When everything gets too overwhelming, he flies up and rests on one of the sconces on the wall or the chandelier.
(He nearly falls to the floor when the magic spell finally fades away mid-flight, and that makes him even angrier.)
The Panther (Simeon)
His main concern is keeping an eye on you and Luke. It's amusing to watch the others though; he's content to stick to the edges of the room and observe the chaos.
This is actually great inspiration for a new novel! Or maybe he should try writing a children's book. You would make a cute main character!
He carries Luke somewhere safe when he inevitably falls asleep from all the excitement.
(Solomon and Azra get so distracted picking fights with each other that Simeon picks you up by your collar and carries you to where Luke is sleeping. He curls around your little sleep pile protectively until the spell wears off.)
The Red Panda (Luke)
He's too small to get into too much trouble, but he has a surprising amount of fun—probably the most fun out of everyone, except for Diavolo.
He's not used to having a tail and he trips on it a few times by accident when he runs too fast. He swears that Simeon chuckles in a weird, cat-like way when he falls on his face with a growl.
He follows you around the ballroom, but the other animals are so much scarier bigger than he's too nervous to get close to them.
There are still trays of desserts on the table from dinnertime, and he helps himself to some sweets.
(The spell and abundance of sugar knocks him out cold in less than an hour.)
The Wolf (Solomon)
He didn't mean for this to happen, but he's going to enjoy it while it lasts.
He saunters around, swishing his fluffy white tail and showing off his stunning wolf form for you to admire. For some reason, you don't seem that impressed.
You squirm and glare at him when he tries to kiss lick your face, too.
He lays down and rolls over, hoping that you'll curl up with him because his fur is so warm and perfect to snuggle in.
Maybe you're just shy? The hellhound won't leave you alone but Solomon's not sure he can take him on in a fight...
(Really, can't he enjoy your company for once without one of the demons butting their nose where it doesn't belong?)
The Hellhound (Azra)
You said this was supposed to be a fun little sleepover. He even put on that stupid onesie you bought him because you're cute when you pout you said it would be more fun this way. This was supposed to be a chance for him to get to know your friends—and now he's stuck as a dog!
You weren't immune to the mysterious magic either, and you and the young angel are the tiniest animals here. He's extra-vigilant about trying to keep the others away from you; he's scared they're going to hurt you by accident.
(He's never seen this side of Diavolo before, and he hates to admit how much fun it is watching the young prince set half the ballroom on fire while he shoots fireballs at random objects for target practice.)
He's very agitated when Solomon tries to approach you. That damn wolf keeps stalking you around the room with a hungry glint in his eye.
You don't seem happy with either of them when they start growling and snapping at each other and he's already thinking about how to make this up to you later.
(Maybe when this is over, he can convince you to go back home with him.)

lightning mcqueen blanket
Summary:
Jason shudders and pulls his blanket closer as Annabeth just shifts inside her own blue blanket plastered with a huge smiling cartoon Thor. “Chris Rodriguez?” Jason guesses, motioning to the blanket with his chin. Annabeth smiles wanly. “Luke, actually. Come sit with me, Jason.”
Annabeth and Jason smoke on the roof of Hera’s Cabin and discuss Thalia Grace and Camp Jupiter.
On Ao3
Jason couldn’t sleep.
The thunder in Cabin 1 picked up and usually, Jason could fall asleep before it reached this stage, but something kept him up as he curled up in Thalia’s old cot.
Annabeth had said something about a bed with a canopy and sound-proof curtains. About raising a platform and setting up more beds. A set of six, she had said. Three and three, Zeus had a tendency to keep these kinds of things, even like that. Castor and Helen, Herakles and Aegyptus, Hebe and Ares, Jason and Thalia.
He really needed to stop coming back to Thalia. He tried his best to be content with the mortal P.O box that he sent letters to in hopes that one day he’d get an answer to his questions.
Questions he had had all his life but no one dared answer. Questions that were so stupid, sometimes he wondered what he was doing with his life.
Jason sighs, and rolls off Thalia’s— his cot, and cringes at the freezing marble floor of the cabin-shrine. He gathers the gag gift of the Lightning McQueen blanket Chris Rodriguez had given him and pads across the floor to the door. Shooting a wary look at the Hippie Zeus Statue in case it had the mystical ability to summon the harpies, Jason slips out of his Cabin.
It’s freezing out, the cold chilling him to the bone and reminding him of Boreas’s palace in Quebec. Thinking about that first quest had him wondering if Piper and Leo were still awake, if he might be able to let some of his pent-up fears that haunted that cabin finally leave the vault of his chest.
He stands on the porch, hesitating and deliberating if it would be better to go back into freezing, thundering Cabin 1 when he spots the smoke on top of Hera’s Cabin. He frowns, Lightning McQueen blanket dragging behind him, as he squints up at the roof of Cabin 2. A smoke ring comes from the roof and it clicks.
Awkwardly, not wanting to let go of his nice, warm blanket, Jason floats upwards and lands on the freezing roof of Cabin 2.
“It’s a filthy habit,” Annabeth says, a languid half-smirk on her face as she shows off the cigarette in between her fingers. “I know.”
Jason shudders and pulls his blanket closer as Annabeth just shifts inside her own blue blanket plastered with a huge smiling cartoon Thor.
“Chris Rodriguez?” Jason guesses, motioning to the blanket with his chin.
Annabeth smiles wanly. “Luke, actually. Come sit with me, Jason.”
He had never spoken to Annabeth privately, not like Leo when he wanted her opinion on the Argo II or Piper wanted to talk with someone who wasn’t her half-siblings.
He wants to change that, he realizes. He wants to get to know his sister’s sister and understand why Annabeth Chase is so beloved in the eyes of Chiron and Thalia. Wants to understand why he and her were not the trade instead of him and Perseus.
What wrath did the gods fear for someone as well-loved as her to not be taken? Did they fear Perseus? Thalia? Or both, angry and seeking their lover and sister throughout the world.
Jason wonders if anyone is still looking for him. Probably not. It’s been a month and as much as he knew Reyna wouldn’t let him be declared, so swiftly, the legion needed a new leader.
Jason eyes the cigarette, then makes a decision. “Got another one?”
Annabeth smiles and pulls out a match from somewhere and strikes it against the marble. It shouldn’t ignite. It still does.
She easily lights a cigarette and hands it over to Jason. He awkwardly sticks it into his mouth and inhales through it, coughing as he expels the smoke from his mouth.
“Di immortales,” he rasps out. Annabeth throws back her head and laughs.
“And here I was starting to think you were stuck up, Jason.” she says, gray eyes gleaming with amusement.
“My centurion,” Jason says with amusement, “would beg to differ. I drove her insane with all my radical ideas of renaming the 12th Legion to the 1st Legion.”
He sticks the cigarette in his mouth again and inhales through his nose, having a bit more success in not coughing like an idiot.
“He’s in California, isn’t he.” Annabeth states, voice abruptly dull. “I really don’t want to go back there.”
“Bad memories?”
She closes her eyes and blows out a plume of smoke. When her eyes open, she picks out a star and clearly tries to use it to keep him from seeing the tears in her eyes. Too bad, Jason had been doing that trick since he was six.
“He showed up to my house before it all went down. Asked me to go with him. I refused, and now he’s dead. Sometimes I wonder—”
“You were fifteen.” Jason says firmly. “When I was fifteen, I fought the Trojan Sea Monster after one of my cohort mates angered Neptune so much he wanted a repeat. Turns out, she was planning on joining Krios on Mount Tam and betraying us. I executed her myself. When adults make us do stuff despite us not even being close to having a fully developed brain, it’s on them., not us.”
“Holy Hades.” Annabeth mutters, making a three—fingered claw and pushing it away from her chest. Surprisingly, Jason felt better as a bitter cold dug into his skin through his Lightning McQueen blanket. “That’s fucked up.”
Jason nods and takes another puff of his cigarette. Annabeth follows suit, discarding her Thor blanket and letting the cold in as she makes a smoke ring.
“I miss her. Thalia that is. We used to go around the East Coast, hunting monsters and the past and never looking back. It was a happy time. I think you might’ve been happier with us, hungry and cold with only hammers as weapons, instead of with the Romans.” she says. “You would’ve learned what it meant to be on the run from everything connected to your past.”
“I didn’t think I had one.” Jason admits. “I thought I had sprung from Jupiter’s head like Minerva and just been given to Lupa straight after. I hardly remember Thalia, but I think I already love her more than I can bear.”
“She and Percy have that in common.” Annabeth agrees. “They’re both impossible not to love with everything you have in you.”
They both sit on that cabin roof, talking, until a cow starts mooing below them and the sun starts rising.
It’s better than sleeping in a marble coffin.

⸻ sons & daughters. aemond | king’s landing outtake.
· pairing: aemond targaryen x niece!reader · type: outtake from this series · summary: aemond is made aware of your new marriage. · word count: 1,384
Aemond listens idly as Ser Tyland drones on about expenditures, eye glancing to his brother who sits at the head of the table, watching as he puffs out his cheeks, eyes widening before he slumps forward.
Ser Tyland ceases talking. “Your Grace?”
Aegon lifts his head, holding it between his hands, fingers tangled in his hair. “Must we be apprised on every fucking coin that’s spent?”
Aemond’s lip twitches.
Tyland shifts in his seat. “Well, Your Grace, it…it is important that we—”
Ser Otto enters the Small Council chambers then.
Aegon leans back in his seat, gesturing toward their shared grandsire. “Ah, there you are! I would ask where you have been, but as you have only missed Ser Tyland’s riveting accounting of—”
“She has the North firmly in-hand now,” Ser Otto states, cutting Aegon short, holding up a rolled page of parchment.
Aegon shrugs dramatically, shaking his head. “Who does? Whore Queen of Dragonstone, I presume. We already knew they would defer to her. This is not new information.”
“There has been a development,” Otto replies shortly.
Aemond’s fists tighten in his lap, heart beginning to pound.
“Princess Y/N has wed Lord Cregan.”
He turns to look at Aegon. “The North is the largest Realm in the Seven Kingdoms. And with his army at their complete disposal—”
“I won’t allow it,” Aemond says lowly, all eyes then turning in his direction.
Aegon looks at him in interest.
“Won’t allow—” Otto starts, until Aemond stands abruptly, chair loudly scraping against the floor.
“She belongs to me.”
Alicent shakes her head, looking to him. Hoping that such news would finally cement the realization within him that you were now permanently gone from his life—belonging to another—turns out to have been done in folly.
“Your obsessions with that bastard girl are at an end, Aemond. She is gone. For good. And you have promised yourself to one of Lord Baratheon’s daughters in exchange for his loyalty.”
Aemond’s anger quickly develops into a raging tempest then—his mother the sole object of his ire.
Her fault. It is all her fault.
He takes his marble dish and ball in-hand, and chucks them both across the room—dish shattering against the wall, ball rolling slowly across the floor, causing her to jump—and Aemond stalks toward her.
He leans down, one hand planted atop the table in front of her, other gripping the back of her seat firmly.
“You do not command me.”
A beat of silence.
“You see,” he cocks his head to the side. “She was meant to be my betrothed. She was created for me to have. I would not expect you to understand, but it is mine own blood which I am meant to wed.”
He stands, voice raising as he paces the room. “Some unwashed northern fucking lord is not suitable for her needs! I am!”
He turns swiftly round toward her, Alicent’s emerald eyes now wide.
“You are the one who is to blame.”
He grins then. “So much effort you took in keeping us apart.”
He returns to her, speaking quietly, so only she can hear. “No measure by you, or anyone else, was ever going to ensure that. Do you want to know, then, mother? The things we did with only the Gods to bear witness?”
“That is enough Aemond,” Otto states, coming closer, lying a hand upon his shoulder. “That is quite enough.”
Aemond rises, standing tall, hand gripping the pommel of his sword. “I want her back.”
He pushes past his grandsire, heading toward the room’s doors, which the Kingsguard quickly open for him.
“I’m going to get my bride back!” He shouts, boots echoing against stone floors as he makes to head out of the Keep and toward the Dragonpit, prepared to mount Vhagar and ride North.
He will raze the entire kingdom to the fucking ground, so long as it returns you to him.
You will hate him for it. Though, he imagines, you already would, given that business with Luke.
He had meant what he said in that letter—had hoped his guilt would lessen the devastation in some form, making it easier for your gentle heart to handle. But returning the ribbon had been a mistake. For you would return to him. Mayhaps not in the way he had so many times envisioned—you sneaking into the Red Keep, winding your way through those hidden passages the two of you had utilized so very many times to seek the other out in hours of need—and you finally saying yes to his proposal.
He would then spirit the two of you away to the Dragonpit to mount Vhagar, and ride to Essos where you would finally be free.
Now… Now plans have changed.
His hand has been forced.
How could you have done it? Forsaken him—your uncle, your lover, your blood, for him? He had believed your hearts to always be one. But now you have handed it off to another.
It belongs to him. You do.
And you still will. Whether you wish it or no.
He will bring you round to it—to him. The two of you will have nothing but time once having crossed the Narrow Sea and settling in one of the Free Cities. He knows your mind better than you.
He will not make you happy—Lord Cregan. Not as he had. And will.
You will one day thank him for it.
Aemond paces his chambers like an animal locked in a cage.
He’d returned to it to gather a few things—clothes, coin, a few valued possessions. Such as a hairbrush you had left behind when Rhaenyra took you away from him to reside on Dragonstone so many moons ago. And a bit of cloth you had embroidered when you’d just begun learning the craft when you were a girl—his and your initials bound together crudely in thread.
Once those doors had shut behind him, however, they’d been barred from reopening from the outside. And when he had tried the hidden door in the wall near his hearth? The same result.
He roars in frustration as he considers the balcony one last time, hearing Vhagar do the same from across the city in fury.
He returns to his room then, seating himself before the fire. He leans forward, staring into it, elbows atop his thighs, hands cupped round one another as he holds his chin. And he waits, mind swimming in thoughts…of you.
He does not rise from his seat when the doors open, then close again.
Nor does he react to the sound of soft footsteps or the brush of skirts.
He does not turn when his mother seats herself beside him.
She sighs softly, placing a hand upon his back.
He wishes to be comforted, instead, by another. Wants to have you naked and in his bed—in his arms—as he finally claims you. Fills you with his dragonseed, forever binding you to him.
His niece. His beloved niece…
The hand falls away, into her lap. “What did you think to do, Aemond? Mount Vhagar, turn your sights North, and then what?”
She turns more toward him, clasping her hands. “She is lost to you. Wed to another. She isn’t returning. Nor are you going to retrieve her. We require your presence here. Bringing the North’s forces into the fold needs be avoided as long as is possible.”
A pregnant pause settles between the two of them. He cares naught for her words—her attempt at convincing him to let go of one he has loved since the day she was born.
So he finally tells her then. “I love her.”
“She loves another now,” Alicent replies simply—quickly, as if she’d been waiting to throw such hurtful words at him for some time—before standing, smoothing her skirts. “And, if you are fortunate, so shall you, too, when you and Floris wed in due time.”
He finally turns to look at her, and she bristles at the sight of his empty socket.
He knows you never would have.
“As you did my father?” He asks, repaying the cruel favor.
She swallows, then turns away, exiting.
He begins to cry softly, still clutching that bit of embroidered cloth—only now to his lips—praying for the first time since he was a child…for you to come back to him.

unconditionally // ch 2
anakin x reader
(a/n: so these chapters r gonna b longer cause i have way too much to say abt this heheh, im also posting on ao3 now if you like that format better :/ it’s linked on my master list :)
you unexpectedly watch the kids for the night
warnings: cursing, asshole behavior
__________________________________________
You woke up the next morning to a text from “Anakin”. You yawned and squinted at your phone. Basically every day, come over at 3:00 and leave when Anakin shows up. Except Friday, you had that day off. Easy enough. Hopefully he wouldn’t come back too late, you still had school after all.
You stretched and got out of your bed. As you finished your morning routine you began to plan out your week.
Breakfast, class one, study in the library, class two, lunch, go over to Anakin’s, entertain the kids, back to the dorms, homework, sleep.
Your weekend really just consisted of your friends dragging you out to the mall to shop for “party clothes”. That really just meant trying on skimpy dresses that cost way too much. However this weekend you actually had money to spend.
You were all trying on outfits for this new fancy bar that recently opened. They were practically bursting with excitement to go to it on opening night next month. The bar was high profile and you had to “know people” to even get on a waitlist. Kind of a hassle you thought. But you didn't mind treating yourself to some new fashion.
You found a unique sage green dress, it wasn’t too revealing but it wasn’t quite modest either. It cascaded off of your shoulders, really highlighting your collarbone, the silky material clung to your hips perfectly. You looked damn good.
You decided to splurge and buy the dress. Your friends were astonished you actually bought something for yourself, usually you never made personal purchases for pleasure.
__________________________________________
Monday rolled around and you drove to the house one more. Once you got there you realized he never gave you a key. Shit.
You debated calling him, what if he was in a meeting? But what if he didn’t get your text. You began to worry, it was only your second day.
Soon you felt a small hand tug on your shirt. You looked down to see two little pigtails.
“You’re back!!” Leia exclaimed, hugging your leg. Luke followed soon after clinging to your other.
“Hiii, guys!” you exclaimed, hugging them back.
“I’m sorry i’m just standing here, I forgot to ask your dad for a key” you admitted, sheepishly.
Luke smiled and pulled out a key from his pocket. It was a small brass key with a temporary tag that had your name on it. You gladly received the key and Leia spoke.
“Daddy said he’s really sorry he forgot”
“Oh no worries!” you said thanking the twins.
You unlocked the door and the kids bounced right on in.
“How was school? Was the bus ride nice?” you asked them as you placed your things on the marble countertop.
“It was so cool! We learned about volcanoes, they explode!! Like boom-pew-pssh” Luke exclaimed enthusiastically as he made motions with his hands.
Leia giggled then said “Well I learned about long division! We divided seven digit numbers!”
“That’s awesome you guys! I’m really proud of you!” you said encouragingly.
Leia pointed to your bag, “Do you have homework too?”.
You nodded, “Want to do our homework together?”.
“Yes! Yes, please!” she exclaimed, grabbing her bag.
The three of you sat at the counter for a while doing your respective work. Every now and then Leia would tease Luke about his handwriting and you had to assure him it was very good for kids his age. You sliced up some fruits for them to snack on while they finished up.
Around 5:45 the front door clicked open. Anakin walked in with an empty coffee cup in hand.
“Daddy!!” the kids exclaimed, hopping off their stools to greet their father.
He dropped his bag and held his arms out to embrace them.
“Hey guys! How was your day?”
“I learned about volcanoes!”
“That's great, bud!” Anakin exclaimed.
“I did long division!” Leia said proudly.
Anakin kissed her on the cheek, “That’s wonderful, Princess”.
He rose from his position near the floor and made eye contact with you. His eyes seemed to subtly change. They were colder.
“Hello, F/N”
“Hi” you said back, shyly.
“I see you got the key. That was my mistake.” he said stiffly.
You began to shake your head, “no, don't worry about it! I should have remembered to ask” you offered.
He looked at you for a moment before curtly nodding.
You began to gather your things and say goodbye to the kids. Anakin , on the other hand, had already retreated to his room upstairs. You figured that was your cue to leave.
__________________________________________
The next two weeks went by rather quickly, Anakin sent out the same scheduled times to you and you went. Each day was filled with quality time with the twins. Luke seemed to be developing a small crush on you. It was amusing, but you made sure to remind him of the kids his age. You grew accustomed to their banter, Leia usually the one coming out on top.
You also learned that their mother had died shortly after giving birth to them, and it seemed their dad was still sensitive to the topic. As for Anakin himself he hardly spoke to you at all, mostly he just glared at you from a distance. But he was paying your bills, so you didn’t complain.
Today was Thursday and you were making crafts with the twins, once again, on the marble counter. They originally wanted to go to the park, but a big thunderstorm decided to pass through. So now you were watching Leia make a “magical butterfly community” while Luke did a “robot-dinosaur mega-world”. You aided them only with the glitter and glue, Anakin would be pissed if it got everywhere.
”Daddy seemed annoyed yesterday,” Leia said to Luke while she stamped blue butterflies on the paper.
“Yeah” Luke agreed, not really paying attention.
She rolled her eyes and you offered your opinion.
“He seemed irritated, yes. But he seems like he acts like that alot”
“Yeah but he usually isn’t rude like that, I’m sorry.” she said, taking some stickers from the sheet in front of her.
Yesterday was rude? Anakin was normally rude, yesterday was downright disrespectful. You had gone to the bathroom and were not in your normal spot at the counter when he walked in. He kind of flipped out on you for not “watching the kids” and threatened to fire you. Honestly, once you got in your car you began to cry. But you told yourself he probably just had a bad day or something. Plus you needed the money.
“I think your dad doesn’t like me” you half laughed, playing with the glitter cap.
Leia shook her head, little brown braids swaying. “No, he does. He would have made you quit if he didn’t”.
You were curious, “what do you mean by that?”.
“He’s nicer to you than he was to any of the other nannies. He doesn’t yell at you”
He was usually more of an asshole? You couldn’t even imagine the damage he caused the other poor nannies. Though you still had a hard time believing he liked you.
Soon enough you heard the door open and a familiar set of footsteps enter the house. Your heart began to quicken, was he still mad at you?
He sighed loudly as he shook off his raincoat. You heard mutter a curse under his breath. Once he stepped into the kitchen he smiled at his kids. As they greeted each other you studied him. He was tall, slimfit, and had great muscle definition on his arms. His hair looked particularly enchanting with raindrops adorning his curls. He was a beautiful man.
He looked at you with less disdain than you expected. “It’s raining pretty hard, huh?” you offered, expecting him to say “obviously” or something else to make you feel stupid.
Instead he responded truthfully, “yeah, I hate rain almost as much as I hate the beach”.
“The beach?” you laughed.
He rose to his full height and gave a small smile, “Mhm, it’s hot and there’s sand everywhere, not to mention all the little shells you step on trying to get to the ocean”.
You giggled again, that was the most he’d said to you without being cold or sarcastic.
“I guess we’ll never do a beach day then” you smiled at the kids.
After cleaning up you said your goodbyes and headed towards the door. But before you made it into the rain Anakin called your name.
“Yes?” you asked, confused.
He walked over to you and grabbed an umbrella out of the holder by the door. He opened it on the porch and motioned for you to join him.
He walked you out to your car, holding the umbrella over you as you put your bag in the backseat.
“Thank you,” you said to him. You were honestly confused as to why he was being oddly nice to you after being so rude yesterday.
“Don’t want you to catch a cold and give it to my kids,” he said.
Aaand there it was.
“Of course, thank you anyways though” you smiled.
You were focused on getting in your car, but you missed the small smile that tugged at the corners of his lips.
__________________________________________
The school day ended with buzzing excitement. That new bar was finally opening tonight and campus was in a frenzy. Everyone was seeing if they knew someone who knew someone that could get them in. Your friends paraded around the fact they were already on the list, while you could honestly care less. But, alas here you were doing your makeup and sporting the sage green dress you bought a while ago.
Once you were finished you took a minute to check yourself out in the mirror. Damn, ok… you looked hot.
You smiled at your new found confidence and began to put on your heels. You grabbed your keys and began driving off campus. Soon your phone began to ring, you looked down and it was Anakin. Confused, you answered the call.
“H-Hello?”
“Hey, I’m really sorry, but do you think you could watch the twins tonight? My department is having an impromptu dinner. I’m sorry, I’ll pay you double-”
He sounded genuinely sorry.
“You don’t have to pay me extra Anakin, I’d be happy to” you smiled, the bar could wait.
“Ok, thank you so much F/N” he said.
“Oh! I was going out with some people, so I’m still in my outfit. It's not inappropriate, is that ok?” you asked, thinking about the kids.
“That's fine,” he said before promptly hanging up.
You shook your head and took a deep breath as you got ready to call your friends… they were not going to be happy.
__________________________________________
You arrived at the grand mansion in record time. You really didn’t want to make him have to wait for you to get there, he might get mad at you. You knocked on the door since you knew he was home, you didn’t want to just barge in. The door opened slowly but Anakin wasn’t the one standing there. Instead there was a man with a clean beard and nice sandy brown hair.
“Hello there” he said in a jovial tone.
You blushed, not expecting some random guy to open the door. “Hi”.
“You must be F/N, I’ve heard alot about you” he said stepping aside so you could enter the house.
Before you could respond Anakin interjected from the top of the stairs.
“From the kids, they won't shut up about you”.
He was walking down the stairs buttoning up his suit. Both men were dressed in formal attire. The bearded man had a gray suit while Anakin wore a black one.
“You two look very nice” you offered. The bearded man gave a sweet smile while anakin just kind of stared at you.
“Oh, by the way you can call me Ben” the bearded man extended his hand to you.
You shook it firmly and smiled.
In your peripheral vision you saw Anakin’s gaze traveling up and down your body.
“Oh, yeah, I’m sorry Anakin, I didn’t have time to change… Do you have anything I can change into by chance?” all of a sudden you didn’t feel so confident under his watchful gaze.
He handed Ben the car keys and asked him to bring it around as he asked you to follow him upstairs.
This was the first time you had been in Anakin’s room. The interior was mostly black and white with an occasional splash of color. He sighed before opening the closet. Far in the back there was a box with some clothing.
“It’s not fancy, but it's better than what you’re wearing,” he huffed. He must really think you’re revolting…. You just felt awful now, what if he made assumptions about you? Would he not let you work for him anymore?
You were pulled out of your thoughts as he tossed a baggy t-shirt and some sweats at you. They smelled different than him, they had a lingering scent of perfume.
“I have to leave now, once you put them on leave my room and close the door, the kids are in the playroom” with that he left.
You took off your green dress, maybe you wouldn’t wear it anymore… you felt embarrassed. You put on the other clothes he gave you, they were obviously women’s clothes, they fit you well and the sweat pants hung off of your hips nicely. You sighed and went to find the kids.
__________________________________________
You found them playing connect four on the floor of the playroom. When they saw you their eyes lit up and they ran to greet you.
“I thought you weren’t coming back til monday!!” Luke exclaimed.
You laughed, “surprise!”.
Leia pulled back to look at you for a moment, “wait did daddy give you that?” she asked, pointing to the clothes.
“Oh! He let me borrow them” you explained.
“Wait, aren't those mom’s old clothes?” Luke said.
What.
“Yeah, that’s why I was asking,” Leia said back to her brother.
Anakin.
Let you wear his wife’s clothes?
The kids showed you a picture of their mother wearing the exact same outfit, lying on the sofa downstairs. She was beautiful.
Leia looked so much like her, the resemblance was uncanny.
While you were having an internal crisis as to why Anakin let you borrow those clothes, the twins couldn’t be less bothered. They had never met their mom, and to them she was no more than a fairy tale character. It was kind of sad, but maybe it was better that they weren’t stuck mourning her death.
The rest of the night you continued to make dinner for them and ended up on the sofa watching 101 Dalmatians, once again. Around the halfway mark both twins were fast asleep on each side of you. You smiled, you felt a sense of family amongst the kids. You weren't really as close with your friends recently, and your love life was a fucking joke. But at least you had two people who were always excited to see you.
You too began to doze off at some point. You dreamed of the early stages of spring, the baby animals, fresh dew drops on petals in the morning, the fresh air, the love. You must have been deep asleep because when you woke up the twins were nowhere to be seen.
You shot up in a panic before you heard a strong voice behind you.
“Don’t worry, Ben and I put them to bed” Anakin was sitting at the kitchen counter, a glass of wine sitting beside him.
You exhaled and walked towards him. “Why didn’t you wake me? I could have put them to sleep.”
He took a sip of the maroon beverage as he looked at the wall in front of him. “You looked peaceful”.
You rubbed the rest of the sleep from your eyes and took the seat beside him. “How was the dinner?”.
He slowly turned to face you, “It was well, Ben and I had a few drinks”.
You smiled, you could smell the liquor on his lips. “By the way, thank you”.
“For what?”
“The clothes, Leia told me…You know you didn’t hav-”
“It’s fine.” he took another sip of the drink in his hand.
You looked down at your hands, what now?
He stole another glance at you, “They’re just clothes F/N”, after that he tipped the glass towards you and arched his brow.
You gave a small smile and took a sip from the opposite side as him, the wine went down nicely, it tasted expensive. You scrunched your nose as the alcoholic burn traveled down your throat.
He huffed out a laugh before looking forward again.
“I see you watched that damn dog movie again.”
Oh.
“I’m sorry, I can tell them no when they ask next time”
Maybe it was his buzz or maybe it was truly just him. But he faced you with a look you had never seen on his face before. It was sincere, adoring and somber all at the same time, “No, I enjoyed seeing my kids with you on the couch watching that movie.”
In a way you felt guilty, you were in his wife’s spot, in her clothes, with her kids, watching her favorite movie… He only said that because he was replacing you with her.
With that you took another swig on the wine.

MC thinks of Luke like a younger sibling
A/N: I am not shipping Luke with the reader, their relationship is sibling like. Therefore, I will not tag this as anything x anyone.
Warnings: luke accosted, violence mentioned, homesickness, sadness, grumpy!luke, baking, gender neutral reader
Being in Devildom was different, where the human world had seasons and was bright and cheerful, it was dark and often a little on the warmer side. You got stared at everywhere you went, beady eyes looking at you and examining you, your very presence questioned and queried. The Demon Prince was… odd? Weirdly cheerful for someone who literally owned Hell, his dark eyes following you everywhere you went and suddenly disappearing when his lips curled into a smile. His butler, Barbatos, was pleasant enough and had welcomed you when you first came to this place with a warm smile and kind words. Your very existence was the precipice of work and the culmination of efforts to bring peace between the three realms and you felt the overwhelming pressure to make sure that you didn’t fail… something you were constantly reminded of by Lucifer, Avatar of Pride and right hand man to Diavolo. He had taken his time to make sure you were constantly reminded, ever movement you made was analysed and a foot out of line was taken as a reason to hurt you (your hand still throbbed in memory of him stepping on it) and by the time you had been in Devildom for a few months you had a huge feeling of homesickness and sadness for your home and family.
A small shriek brought you out of your reviere, head snapping up as you heard deep laughter in the RAD corridor and prompting you to investigate. You could barely see past the hulking masses with their backs to you, big and foreboding as they crouched down and poked at whatever it was they were taunting. It wasn't until a flurry of white robes and a hat came flying across the carpet that you realised: Luke. One of the angels on placement here with you and someone who had taken a huge liking to you, often keeping you company when you were alone and had taken great interest in baking human world treats with you. Steeling yourself you walked over to them, picking up Luke’s hat on the way and coughed loudly to get their attention. A growl as they stared at you and turned around again, completely ignoring you even when you went as far as to kick their shins (resulting in an injury on your part, not theirs).
“Oh, hi Lucifer. Diavolo. What a great time to see you.”
Heads snapping up at your lie, their attention away from the little angel and giving you enough time to grab his small hand and run in the other direction, away from the danger and towards the kitchens where you had things set up for cooking later. A low growl behind you, enough to make you both shriek before slamming the heavy door behind you before dropping the latch and closing the bolt. Your chest heaving as you looked down at him with a huge grin, his hair was all messed up and his cheeks red… reminding you so much of your siblings back home that you couldn't help but pinch his little cheek and ruffle his hair some more.
“Hey! I’m not a child you know.”
“Sorry, Luke.”
“Or a dog, don’t you start calling me chihuahua as well. I get enough of that from those demons.”
“You know very well I would never do that.”
A small hmph as he turned, smoothing down his hair and placing his hat back on before sitting down on a stool opposite you. His eyes trained on your every move like an excited child, you forgot sometimes that Luke may look small but was actually destined to be stronger than Simeon, the pure unadulterated power held by this little boy was astonishing sometimes.
“Wanna help me make some shortbread cookies?”
Marble coloured eyes met yours as they widened, a nod of his head as he rolled up his sleeves and began washing his hands in the sink, you watched as he tied an apron around himself before standing next to you and following the method that you explained to him. His cute little humming every few seconds made you smile, you found yourself looking at him more than what you were doing until the noise of a metal bowl clanging on the tiled floor made you both jump.
“Sorry! Sorry. I wasn’t paying attention.”
“Can I ask you something?”
You shrugged, head nodding as you glanced down at him. “Sure.”
“You always look a little sad when you’re with me. Why?”
A small smile curled your lips, here you thought that you were being stealthy, but he had seen through your facade clearly. “You remind me of my siblings back home, so when I see you I miss them more. I didn't mean to make it weird.”
“Do you miss them a lot?”
“So, so much.”
He nodded, eyes trained on the dough he was rolling out and pressing into shapes before placing them on a tray to refrigerate for a while, when he looked back up he had a sad smile on his face. “So… the hair ruffling and cheek pinching isn't supposed to be mean or condescending.”
“No, Luke. I promise.”
Another small nod, his small hand tugging on your uniform before he beamed up at you. “Then I suppose I’ll give you special permission… when you feel sad, you can pinch my cheeks or ruffle my hair.”
A chuckle as you bopped your hip against his, almost sending him topping from the stool he was using to stand on.
“But! You have to let me bake with you at least three times a week.”
Another laugh as you nodded, his eyes now wide and beaming at you. “Deal.”

Twisted 22 - Red Right Hand [Spencer Reid x Reader]
A.N.: Thank you so much for your wonderful support my loves! Here’s the next chapter, I hope you will like it as well, and please let me know what you think of it! ❤❤ Ily, kisses! ❤❤❤
Series Masterlist
Warnings: Murder, serial killers, violence, manipulation, mentions of sex, drinking, smoking, blood, nightmares.
Word Count: 4000
Summary: Anyone can be a suspect.
When you woke up, the first thing you realized before even opening your eyes was that you weren’t in your bed.
Your bed was softer than this, the sheets were silk and the pillows were fluffier-
Spencer.
You were sleeping in Spencer’s bed, and in all honesty, both he and you were terrible at this break up thing.
You rubbed your eyes and sat up in bed, trying pull yourself together and get rid of the haze of the sleep. Judging by the state of the bed, it was very obvious that Spencer hadn’t slept there and the clattering of plates coming from the kitchen let you know that he was already awake. You yawned, stretching out and kicked off the covers before you quickly made the bed and stepped back to see if it looked good.
Well, it looked acceptable at least.
You shrugged to yourself and stepped out of the room to approach where the noises were coming from, then leaned sideways on the door frame, a smile warming your face when Spencer turned his head to look at you.
“Morning.”
“Hi there,” you said, your voice still raspy because of sleep, “What are you making?”
“Um- I realized I just had coffee and not much of anything else,” Spencer said, “Unless you like leftover Chinese.”
“My favorite breakfast.”
“So grilled cheese sandwich?”
“Oh man, you don’t want to share your leftover Chinese?” you curled your lips, “I guess grilled cheese sandwich could be breakfast too.”
He chuckled and put the sandwiches on the plates, so you grabbed them and went to the living room to sit on the couch, Spencer following you with two cups of coffee.
“Jesus Spencer, you didn’t have to sleep here,” you motioned at the blanket, “You’re taller than the couch.”
“It’s fine, I don’t mind.”
You shifted your weight and picked at the toast before nibbling on the piece,
“How did you sleep?” he asked and you chewed on your bite.
“Like a rock,” you said, “I got like four hours, do you know what that is? A miracle.”
He thought for a moment before he walked to the table to pull open a drawer as you grabbed your cigarette package,
“Do you mind if I smoke here?”
“I do actually.”
You looked down at the package in your hand, then put it back into your purse as he walked back to the couch, clearing his throat.
“So I was thinking,” he said, “The um-the next time it gets too much for you, even though I’m on a case away from the city, if you ever need to get away from your place…” he reached out and put what looked to be a spare key to his apartment on the coffee table and you stared at it for a couple of seconds, your heart skipping a beat.
“Professor,” you managed to say when you pulled yourself together and tried to ignore the spark of hope, “I say this with the best intentions, but we really do suck at this whole break up thing.”
“We’re not so bad-“
“We’re literally the worst ex couple I’ve ever seen. You take your key back from your exes, not give them one.”
“But it’s not like that,” he said quickly, “It’s so that you can drop by when I’m not here if you want to.”
You were melting, and he wasn’t even aware of it.
“Spencer…” you tried to stop the smile warming your face and pursed your lips, “I can’t.”
He pulled his brows together, his soft gaze on you almost confused, “Why not?”
You heaved a sigh and reached out to wrap your fingers over the back of his hand, the spark of electricity shooting through your whole system. Your body didn’t care about the break up as much as your mind did, that was clear. Even now, even after everything, even if you knew it was wrong, the only thing you absolutely craved for was to be closer to him, however you could be.
“Trust me,” you said, “The only thing it’ll do is to give me hope, and I can’t have that. Besides, who knows? Yet another friend of Luke’s might disagree with this decision if you ever end up not talking about your ex during the first date.”
He let out a small chuckle, “That’s not happening, you know it as much as I do.”
You scrunched up your nose, “My point about being terrible exes,” you started, but before you could say anything else, your phone started vibrating. You looked around and grabbed it, then took it to your ear.
“Hello?”
“Finally!” Mina’s voice reached you, “Why can’t anyone reach you? Mom called you like a hundred times.”
“I was busy.”
“Doing what? Your assistant said you didn’t show up yet.”
“What happened?” you asked back and she heaved a sigh.
“Mom wanted me to ask if you want them to send you a car for tonight.”
“Why would I-“ you started and then it dawned on you and you threw your head back, “Charity auction.”
“The one that we told you like a month ago, and your assistant already put it in your schedule. You know, the whole point of having that is checking it sometimes right?”
“I wanted to erase it from my mind, probably that’s why,” you grumbled.
“Well you’re coming. I’ll actually kill you if you bail on me, we’re all going to be there.”
You rolled your eyes, “Okay, whenever we go somewhere like this, mom socializes, you and Kenz hook up in the bathroom, I’m the only one who doesn’t have fun in these things! I’m allowed to-“
“I’m literally running to a meeting on stilettos so I don’t have time to feel sorry for you but I’ll put it in my schedule if you want,” she said, “Unlike you, I check mine. No car then?”
“I’ll drive there myself.”
“Suit yourself. Cry beforehand if you’re going to be in this mood for the whole night, will you? You don’t look good with smudged makeup.”
“Fuck you Mina.”
“Love you too brat!” she sang and hung up, and you huffed out a breath.
“Charity auction?” Spencer asked, “Rossi was talking about that too.”
Your head shot up, “Wait, you will be there?” you asked, the grumpiness leaving you instantly and he shrugged his shoulders.
“A part of the team will. We don’t know yet.”
“I hope they pick you to be there.”
He tilted his head, “Why?”
You bit inside your cheek, still trying to fight the urge to be closer to him before you took a deep breath.
“I don’t know,” you admitted, “Maybe I wouldn’t hate tonight that much if you were there.”
***
Having breakfast with Spencer was a perfect way to start the day, that was for sure, but you couldn’t say the same for the rest of the day. Much like Mina, you spent the whole day running from meeting to meeting, and by the time you got home to get ready for the night, you were already way too tired.
But as you found out, a good night’s sleep made wonders, so even if you were tired, you weren’t as drowsy as before.
Special thanks to Spencer, for that one.
You did your make up and your hair before getting into the gown and you looked in the mirror, smoothing over the fabric. You turned around to see whether the long skirt looked good at all the angles but then your phone started vibrating on the bed and you grabbed it to answer it.
“Hi Linc,” you put him on speaker as you opened the drawer to pick a necklace, “What’s up?”
“Just wanted to check whether you’re going to pretend you’re sick to get out of it,” he said and you chuckled.
“Good idea, I’ll use it the next time,” you clasped the necklace behind your neck and fixed your hair, “And no. Unfortunately I’ll be there.”
“Come on Y/N, we’ll have fun.”
“I don’t think so.”
“We’ll have alcohol, you like alcohol.”
“That’s the only way I can stand these things,” you murmured, “How about you? Are you sure you haven’t changed your mind about coming?”
“Are you kidding? Watching you sulk is like a hobby of mine at this point, I made my peace with it.”
“I don’t sulk!”
“Yeah you do,” he chuckled, “I’ll see you there okay?”
“Yeah yeah, see you,” you murmured and hung up, then grabbed your coat and left your apartment. You got into your car, turned the music on, and started driving.
It took you almost an hour to get there because of the traffic. You handed your keys to the valet, thanked him and started climbing the marble stairs but as soon as you looked down at your phone you felt someone crashing into you.
“Ugh!” the woman let out a furious breath but still kept talking on the phone, “I said I don’t want them blue, I want them green! What are you, an idiot? I don’t have time for this…”
“Apology not accepted asshole,” you murmured to yourself and kept climbing the stairs.
“Good evening ma’am.”
“Good evening,” you smiled at the man by the door and stepped inside to walk through the huge foyer until you reached the hall. You looked around as soon as you reached the table surrounded by empty chairs and stopped one of the waitresses.
“Excuse me,” you smiled at her, “Hi, is this the table number one?”
“Yes ma’am.”
“Thank you,” you said and heaved a sigh as she walked away, “How am I the first one here God damn it?”
You checked the time on your phone before making your way out of the hall and went outside again so that you could smoke a cigarette or two until everyone got there. There was no way you would sit there alone, you already didn’t like this evening and that would make it even worse. You leaned back to one of the pillars, lighting a cigarette and exhaling the smoke up into the dark sky, watching the people entering and leaving the building.
You heaved a sigh after minutes passed and you lit your third cigarette, sending Mina yet another text in all caps but then you heard someone clear their throat so you looked up from your phone and your heart started pacing in your chest, a wide smile pulling at your lips before you could stop it.
“Professor,” you managed to say and Spencer ran a hand through his hair as if he wanted to make sure it looked good, “Well this is a nice surprise. Came to save the damsel in distress?”
He pulled his brows together, “I doubt you fall under that category.”
You scrunched up your nose, “You have a point. I’m probably the big bad wolf in a dress.”
“I mean it’s a pretty dress,” he murmured before stealing a look at you, “You look great. As usual.”
You could feel the happiness filling your system and you giggled.
“Thanks,” you said, “So do you. But hey, that’s not a surprise. The only reason why the FBI is keeping you around is your looks, not your smarts, we all know that.”
That seemed to make him chuckle and you gasped, then reached out to hold his scarf over your dress.
“Spencer look, we match!”
“Look at that, we do-“ he smiled but before he could say anything, you saw Lincoln climbing the stairs. You waved at him and he took a look at you two with a slight frown on his face, then made his way to you.
“Jesus, took you long enough.”
“I know, I had this last minute phone call about work….” he shook his head, “Dr. Reid. You seem to be everywhere nowadays.”
“Seems that way,” Spencer stated curtly and Lincoln turned to you.
“Why are you outside?”
“Because no one at our table showed up yet,” you said, “And you know I hate sitting alone.”
“Ah well, I’m here now so if you want-“
“I think I’ll smoke some more, thanks though,” you told him and a small smile curled Spencer’s lips before he raised his brows, looking at Lincoln who checked his watch.
“It’ll start soon though, just so you know,” he said, “See you inside.”
With that, he walked away from you into the building and Spencer turned to you.
“That was subtle.”
“He’ll be fine,” you said and threw your hands up when you caught the sight of Mina getting closer, “Did you like die or something? Where’s Kenz?”
“On her way, there was something with the babysitter, my meeting took forever!” she said, “I drove here straight from work, is mom going to kill me?”
“No one is here yet.”
“Probably because of the accident.”
You frowned, “What accident?”
“I think there’s some kind of an accident, the traffic is insane,” she eyed Spencer up and down, “Oh great, cute sad giraffe is here too.”
“Mina!” you hissed and Spencer shot you a look as if he was desperately asking for your help, but Mina waved a hand.
“I’ll be inside,” she said and walked inside while you shifted your weight.
“…Cute sad giraffe?” Spencer asked and you rubbed the back of your neck.
“Please ignore her,” you said, “I apologize on her behalf.”
Spencer stared at you, then scoffed a laugh, “Does she hate me or…?”
“She doesn’t hate you as a person, she just hates all my boyfriends as a princip- ex. Ex boyfriends.” You quickly corrected yourself, “She hates my ex boyfriends as a principle.”
“Why?”
“It’s a sister thing. I threatened one of her ex-girlfriends once, so this is what I get.”
“You threatened-“ Spencer started but you waved at Nolan who was climbing the stairs and he frowned at you and Spencer, then approached you.
“Well hello there,” he greeted you two before turning to Spencer, “I don’t think we’ve met.”
“Nolan, this is Spencer Reid,” you introduced them, “Spencer, Nolan. He’s the love of my mom’s life for some reason.”
“Nice to meet you.”
“You too,” Nolan said and clicked his tongue “You’re the infamous Dr. Reid then. I’ve heard about you.”
“Nolan,” you murmured warningly but he ignored you.
“Has Y/N mentioned the head of FBI is a good friend of mine?”
“Um- no she hasn’t—”
“Well I’d keep that in mind just in case you happen to make yet another mist—“
“Thank you Nolan!” you said very loudly, “Mina is inside, you could join her if you want- also, have you seen my mother?”
“I came here straight from my house but I sent her a car, she was on her way,” Nolan said as someone by the door called out his name and he heaved a sigh, “Business doesn’t wait, excuse me.”
“Did he just…?” Spencer asked as Nolan got inside and you shook your head fervently.
“No he didn’t.”
“That sounded like a threat.”
“Ignore him as well,” you said, “It’s just uh… You know. Rich people. They have no manners.”
He tilted his head, confused, and you waved at Kenzie who climbed the stairs at full speed and waved at you back, then pressed a hand over her chest at the sight of Spencer and winked at you before rushing inside as well.
“Anyway,” you tried to change the topic, “So I owe you breakfast then. Do you want it before or after my next emotional breakdown?”
He smiled softly, “You don’t owe me anything.”
“Oh you have no idea how much I do,” you murmured, “Do you want to get Honey Cinnamon French toast the next time? It’s full of sugar, you’d like that. Considering your coffee choices.”
His jaw dropped, “It’s not that bad!”
“I took one sip of your coffee one day while we were dating and thought I’d get into sugar coma.”
“That’s not how it works.”
“Don’t you have statistics about how it’s bad for you?”
He nodded at the cigarette between your fingers, “Do you want to hear the statistics for that too?”
“You’re on thin ice, professor,” you pointed at him, making him laugh but then both of you turned your heads when you heard your name being called. Your mother looked between you, then smiled and stepped closer.
“Dr. Reid, it’s lovely to see you again,” she said politely, “Y/N honey, why are you outside?”
“Waiting for you,” you stubbed the cigarette, “I was the first to get here.”
“I know, the driver kept going into different roads because-“
“Accident. Yeah, Mina told me.”
“Let’s go inside, it’s about to start,” she said and you looked up at him.
“So I should-“
“Yeah,” he nodded, “I should probably find Luke. It was nice to see you again, Ms Knight.”
“You too Spencer,” she said and linked her arm through yours as you walked inside, “Anything I should know about?”
“We’re just talking, mom.”
She arched a brow, “I don’t know who you got this obliviousness from, but not me,” she said and you turned to look at her.
“Hm?”
“You’d have to be blind not to see the way he looks at you.”
You blinked a couple of times, “The way he looks at me?” you repeated as you approached the table and you took your seat beside Lincoln.
“Had your smoke?” he shot you a look and you rolled your eyes at him.
“Don’t.”
“No really, are you guys sure you broke up? Like, did anyone let him know?”
Kenzie whispered something into Mina’s ear and she smiled, sipping her champagne.
“I’m a better person than you are, so it’s no wonder I have a better friendship with my exes than you do, Linc.”
“Is that what we call batting your eyelashes at your ex nowadays?” he asked and you made a face at him.
“You’re hilarious- should I buy something?” you wondered out loud, “Where’s the catalogue?”
Nolan handed you the tablet and you swiped on the screen.
“Are you buying something?”
“One or two,” Nolan said, “Your mother liked that vase on the page sixteen.”
“I will bid you for that,” your mother joked, making him smile and press a kiss on her cheek, and you downed your champagne before motioning for another.
“How’s your girlfriend?” you murmured to Lincoln and he shrugged his shoulders.
“She’s fine,” he whispered as the auctioneer started talking about the first item, “We had a small argument earlier, but…”
“About what? Did she finally see your real personality?”
“I’m sorry, I’m not taking relationship advice from a girl who’s obviously not over her ex even though she was the one who dumped him-“
“Hey, I’m trying to offer you my infinite wisdom you dickhead,” you whispered, making him chuckle.
“I’ve been working a lot these days, but I have to close this new deal,” he said, “She doesn’t seem to understand that.”
“Why don’t you pay her a visit?”
“Did you miss the part where I said I was working a lot?”
“Lincoln,” you heaved a sigh, “Honestly. If you love this girl, you need to show her that.”
“After I close this deal-“
“No, before you close your deal,” you insisted, “You don’t want to be one of those people who picked wealth over love.”
Lincoln raised his brows, “I guess we know what your pick is.”
“I take all my advice back, I hope your girlfriend dumps you,” you sipped the champagne, making him laugh.
“Come on, I’m just messing with you,” he said, “Do you want me to buy you an extra ugly vase so that you can forgive me?”
“I can buy my extra ugly vases myself, thank you,” you sulked, “Do you know what my problem is?”
“Hm?”
“I’m surrounded by love,” you nodded at Kenzie and Mina who seemed to be in their own worlds and your mother and Nolan who held hands over the table, listening to the auctioneer, “It’s like being surrounded by booze when you’re trying to go sober.”
“Hey if it makes you feel any better, my relationship is in shambles too.”
“It will stop being in shambles the moment you stop being a stubborn ass,” you murmured, still holding the fragile glass in your hand but as soon as you took another sip, your mother raised her brows, looking at someone over your shoulder, Mina narrowed her eyes and you felt someone’s presence behind you. The lovely scent filling your nostrils said it was Spencer, and your suspicion was proven when you heard a low whisper in your ear.
“Come with me.”
The champagne you were drinking went down the wrong tube and you started coughing before you stared up at him, convinced that you had just imagined that, considering it wasn’t the first time you were hearing that only in a different context.
“I’m sorry?” you managed to stammer and he frowned at your reaction, then nodded at the door.
“Outside?” he said and it dawned on you,
“Right, outside,” you murmured as you tried to pull yourself together and pushed your chair back.
“Y/N?” Mina said warningly but you shook your head.
“It’s fine, I’ll be right back,” you said as you stood up and felt Spencer’s hand on your lower back as he guided you out of the hall, his skin on yours sending a pleasant shiver down your spine. As soon as you stepped out of the hall he turned to you, his eyes searching yours frantically.
“Are you okay?” he asked in a low voice and you pulled your brows together, trying to understand what he was talking about.
“Yeah, why wouldn’t I be okay?” you asked “I’m having the time of my life trying to pick between an ugly vase and an ugly painting. Seen anything you like yet? It’s for charity.”
“No, Y/N-“ he nibbled on his lip and you stared at him for a moment before your breath got caught in your throat and your hand shot up to hold his arm.
“Another murder?” you whispered, “God, did someone die? That’s why you’re being like this?”
“We just found her a block away.”
“Do I- do I know who it is?” you asked numbly and he pulled out his cellphone to show you the picture and you gasped, covering your mouth as soon as you saw the screen.
It was that woman who had bumped into you just at the beginning of the night, the one who had walked away without apologizing.
“I just…” you swallowed the lump in your throat, “I think I saw her tonight. But it- she- she was just alive, I don’t-“
“The marks show that it just happened. Very recently.”
You could feel the room spinning around you but you tried to pull yourself together.
“But I don’t-“
“Y/N,” he said your name, clearly this time, “I was talking to you probably around the time it was happening, but you mentioned you were the first one to get here right?”
You nodded slowly, “Yeah, the traffic. Well, that and the meetings and the babysitter- how is that relevant?”
Spencer fell into silence, taking a deep breath and you looked up at him.
“What?” you asked again and he stole a look at the hall.
“Obviously there’s no evidence to show this yet and I might be wrong, but do you want to know what I think?” he asked and you nodded again.
“Yes?”
“I think you were sitting with the copycat killer just now.”
You blinked dumbly, your brows furrowed in thought and slowly, very slowly that ice in your veins made its way through your system, a tingling spreading from the base of your neck up to your head. You could feel the panic crashing down on you before you turned your head to look at the your table, Mina and Kenzie watching you, Lincoln playing with his phone and your mother and Nolan having a quiet conversation. Spencer’s words echoed in your head, drowning out every single noise coming from the hall.
I think you were sitting with the copycat killer just now.
“Oh,” you breathed out, closing your eyes, “Fuck.”

What do you think would happen if MC (in an attempt to keep it away from him) tucked Goldie under their boob?
[A bra is the best wallet but underneath even a C-cup boob is damn near Fort Knox (or the tower of London, I.e. Impenatrable fortresses)]
lmaooo. Let’s us gather round and pray for Mammon’s remaining sanity. What little remands. The himbo never saw it coming. I’m weak and got a little spicy at the end, apologies if that’s not what you wanted my heart was thirsty for ONE greed man;.;
A/N I originally called this work Tiity prison bc I have a sense of humor lol.
Hope ya like!
To say he is conflicted is an understatement. Depending on when and where you do the titty lockdown will change how he reacts.
If it's at school, he is a mess. I’m talking about the works. He’s red in the face, can’t focus, and sweating the whole rest of the school day. He is definitely torn between fighting his goldie withdrawals and making a pass at your chest.
He won’t do the latter, as much as he threatens it. He may be scummy but he has a code of conduct (most of the time). You get a kick out of watching him try not to stare at your chest and getting smacked by Lucifer when caught.
If it’s on Lucifer’s orders to keep his card away from him he’ll have a bit more control but will bitch the WHOLE day. Honestly, you might give it back just to shut him up.
He won’t outright grab your chest or physically try to snatch it. He’ll try to be sneaky about it. Dropping stuff and making you bend over to grab it. “I swear I ain’t try nothin’”. Right.
If desperate enough he’ll just downright pick you up off your feet and jiggle you like a piggy bank. Like I said, he has a code of conduct. It’s just kinda flexible sometimes.
“C-come on! Give ‘er back.” Mammon pleads, pulling off his classic bagger’s pout. Good thing you were immune. His toned arms cage you in, your back resting on one of the school’s marble walls. “How am I going to buy lunch?”
“I made you lunch.” You laugh. Ducking under his arms you make your way to the dining hall ignoring his flustered shouts. He’ll follow soon enough. The promise of your cooking and potentially nabbing goldie back was too great for him to ignore. Sure enough, he slinks in a few minutes after you. His shades now out and perched on his nose. Even hidden under the tinted glasses, you could see his flushed cheeks and darting eyes. “Better eat now, Beel is going to join us today.” You say around a mouthful of food. He whines but forces himself to focus on his quickly cooling food.
He follows you even closer than before after lunch, barely a hair’s breadth from your back. His clever fingers pinching and pulling at the bottom of your shirt in the crowded hallway. “Please~” He whimpers through his teeth after your swat his hands away again. “I swear I won’t use her.”
You plop down at your desk. “If you’re not going to use her, then she is safe where she is.” You stick your tongue out and give the boob hiding goldie a lovely squeeze. Mammon groans as if stabbed, teeth bared and fangs growing in a mix of frustration and want. “Babe come on. Ya’ killing me.” His eyes are glued to where your hand rests.
Before you can respond a leather-clad hand smacks Mammon across the back of his head. Mammon yips in fright. “I will kill you first if you don’t keep your eyes up at the board.” The cold warning from Lucifer was enough to shut you both up for the rest of the class. You watch him disappear when the bell chimes. His next period was across campus while you were stuck here for another hour. Your phone buzzes the moment his designer boots disappear out the door.
Pretty Boy: what did you do to Mammon?
You: I have no idea what you’re talking about.
You catch Asmo’s eye from his seat a few rows back from you. He winks at you, thumbs flying across his lit screen.
Pretty Boy: Bull- tell me your secrets. I haven’t seen him that flustered in eons, not since Helen paid a visit.
You: Got “asked” by Lucifer to keep Goldie away from Mammon for the day. A limited edition car he wants just got released. Luci is still paying off Mammon’s last shopping spree, so he’s on ice till tomorrow afternoon.
Pretty Boy: Ouch- you not telling him where it is?
You: Oh no. He knows exactly where it is. He is just too nervous to go for it.
You hear Asmo’s scandalous gasp behind you earning you both a glare from the professor. You bite your tongue to hide a chuckle. The professor turns with a huff, and Asmo starts up all over again.
Pretty Boy: Is it in your pants! Can I take a look ;*
You: No and No.
Pretty Boy: Ah- he was always a chest man. Good luck with that, he can hold out for only so long :)
What does that mean? You whip your head around waiting for an explanation text. Asmo has the gall to ignore you, busy reapplying his lip gloss. Even if he wasn’t looking at you, you knew that impish smile was for you. Turning back around in your seat you shiver, now you weren’t sure if you should be scared or excited.
The rest of the day passes quietly. Too quietly. It gives you the jitters. Every corner of the school could be a potential hiding spot for one conniving demon. You weren’t expecting him to attack you, not outright. Yet, you were expecting some sort of retaliation. The last bell of the day came sooner than you expected and it was time for afterschool activities. Packing your bag you wave off Beel and Satan, assuring them you would be fine to walk to the music and arts wing by yourself. They had their own clubs to get to anyway.
Making your way to your activity you feel the hair on the back of your neck began to rise. Something wasn’t sitting right with you. You look up and around. No one was in the corridors, not even a stray teacher rushing to the breakroom. Odd. You peak over your shoulder and frown. Even the air was still. Chalking it up to a probably very haunted school, you pick up the pace. Even if you didn’t believe in the ghost stories like Luke, it was best to just never find out. No matter what hallway you took or how fast you walked the feeling of being watched only intensified. Your flight or fight instinct kicked in.
Who could you call if you need help? Where in the hells was Mam- was that your pencil case? You skid to a halt bemused. There, in the middle of the floor was your favorite case. The calico kitty design stares up at you innocently from the floor. You open your bag to double-check. You could have sworn you had thrown it in there after last period. Did it fall out? Had you taken this path before? You approached it cautiously, bending down to grab it.
Strong arms wrap around your waist locking around you like a spring trap. They lift you up and up and up. It was so sudden you could do nothing but squeak in surprise, pencil case clutched tightly to your chest. Were you really going to die here? Caught in such a childish trap...wait. “Seriously Mammon!” The fear disappears, replaced now with exasperation. He grunts ignoring your words to shake you slightly. You yelp feeling goldie and your bra shift. “Oh, my Gods. Mammon! I know you can do better than this.”
“Shut up! I’m desperate.”
Unbelievable. "That's the best you got? Really, I’m kinda insulted." Mammon stops shaking you, his arms loosening enough for you to turn around to face him. He looks up at you batting his long lashes. “Put me down.” It wasn’t a pact order, but firm. He pouts but sets you back on the ground gently. Not before giving you a hearty squeeze. You catch his hand sneaking up the side of your shirt with a raised brow. "Why didn't you just make a grab for it in the first place?"
He scoffs turning pink. "'M allowed ta just cop a feel whenever I want now?"
"Absolutely not, not in public at least. I like you breathing."
“Could have fooled me,” Mammon chuckles. He glances around the empty hallway then back to you. A slow rolling purr starts deep in his throat. "Though, there is no one here now." Slowly his dexterous fingers glide back over your sides. His touch is searing on your shirt. You could feel goldie pulsing underneath the cotton of your bra. The plastic seemingly growing warmer than your skin as his hand travels closer. You do nothing, watching his face grow hungrier with each passing centimeter as he gets close to his prize. “What’s stopping me now?”
“Just you.” He stops at the side of your chest, eye wide and greedy. You could feel him trying to temper himself. His adrenaline, fear, lust, and his raw cardinal desire thicking the air around you. It all pulsed red hot in his veins and travels down to yours. He wanted more than just goldie now. His natural magnetism pulling you in closer. You wanted him, you wanted him to just take it- take everything. The pact mark slams shut, its heat snuffed out like a candle. "Mammon?" Had your teasing gone too far?
"Hold tight to her till tonight." He growls tapping your chest possessively. His many gold rings resemble talons as he drags his fingers across the stitching of your school uniform. "I'll come for her tonight," He leans in, smoke and leather clouds your sense. "and I'll be taking a tithe for all the trouble you caused me too." His husky promise sends a shiver down your spine, gut twisting in anticipation. Mammon's bright blue eyes jump over your shoulder, a frown grows on his beautiful face, he could hear footsteps approaching from your club room. Probably the angels looking for you. Brushing his lips across your cheek he parts, shoving his hands into his pockets. "Be ready. You know I always come to collect."

Game Continue! The Seven Lords: Bleeding Hearts(Part 3)
Careful, careful! A lot of people have been playing this cabinet, so give the machine just a moment to cool down.
(Here we go! Part 3 now of my Reverse Au for Obey Me! I didn't expect y'all to like this as much as ya did lol. I was surprised you guys wanted a part 2, let alone a part 3, but here we are! Or that yall would love the simp hcs my friends made me write. I finished up writing this on my birdwatching date yesterday and just finished editing this after work. I promise I have both a Genshin fic and Tears fic in the works for those who followed me for those lololol.)
(Read Part 1 here and Part 2 here!)
Lavender Tapestries and Candytuft Upholstery (Obey Me! Reverse AU)
Content Warnings: Snakes and horn filing but not much else in regards to things to be warned about.
(The brothers and Mc speak like this, but Mc is not colored. The "side characters" speak like this. Colors are based on their individual glowsticks.)
⚝──⭒─⭑─⭒──⚝
"Damn it Solomon, be gentle! I just got those re-gilded the other day."
"It's not my fault you never do this on your own. What are you going to do when the Exchange Students get here? Let it get out of control? I'm staying with the Angels in the Purgatory Hall, I'm not going to have the time to do this for you until the program's over."
Mc let out a groan as they leaned away from the horn file in Solomon's hand. "You know I always fall asleep in the middle of grooming. It's a hassle, y'know?" The ram-horned demon sighed, leaning into the other's offhand that cradled their finished horn. Their wings laid slumped against the tile floor. The fuzz that coated the back of them were brushed to a silky soft texture. "How do you manage to get all of those loose scales out of your tail on your own then?" The green tipped plates in question lay tied up neatly in a silk pouch on the marble countertop of the sink. "Those things sell for a fortune, how could I not? The paralyzing properties in their natural poison practically markets itself to witches or anyone who makes any sort of strong potions. If I really wanted to, I could probably sell them for a million Grimm each!" "The last time you tried that Mc, Luke found out and made you apologize for overcharging people. Don't you think that your reputation at RAL is poor enough?" Mc rolled their eyes as Solomon finished filing down their remaining horn, pulling away and getting up from the floor. "You're the only one here who cares about that sorta thing, Sol." The aforementioned male simply rolled his eyes. "Do you want me to take care of, y'know..." The sorcerer gestured towards his own hips and neck. "No, it's alright, I took care of it yesterday. You just worry about packing tonight, okay? I'm going to bed, thanks for helping me out." Careful to avoid the serrated ridges of their fellow demon's horn, they gently tussled his white locks on their way out of the bathroom.
A rush of cold air creeped up their spine as the door clicked closed behind them. The temperature was one selected by Solomon, since it was one of the only ways to keep them awake when they had guests over. It would take several more centuries for all of those present to forget about the event in which Mc had curled around Simeon when they were in the middle of baking, almost starting a fire whilst they had kept the Royal Butler caged in their arms. The memory made the demon shiver more than the cold air of the hallway. A simple chime sounded from their D.D.D. that momentarily distracted them from the sour thought. A notification from Solomon's Devilgram lit up the screen, showing off his handiwork on his own horns that he had done before Mc's. They were almost distracted enough by it to run into their door. As their hand reached to open it, they stopped and simply stared at the ornate brass handle.
The demon stood there for a minute, staring at it like it would burn their hand if they closed their palm around it, before turning on their heel and going to a different room down the hall. The gentle sounds of running water welcomed them as they entered, as well as the faint pause screen music of a popular two player game. Pushing a large flat pillow in the shape of a familiar creature against the glass, Mc nestled down on top facing towards the tank. Sensing their presence, a pair of eyes peered out from the dark waters and drew themselves closer. The creature blinked its golden eyes with excitement as it pulled its aquamarine body up to the glass. Its black forked tongue flicked in and out of its mouth as if it were saying a greeting. "Hello, again." Mc murmured, pressing a palm against the glass before drifting off.
They awoke the next day to a violently shaking alarm clock near their head and a soft fleece blanket draped over their body.
. ⋅ ˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ .
Mc adjusted the tie of their uniform uncomfortably, slouching against the table of the Student Council room. The young demon prince sat at the head, restraining his excitement, whilst Simeon prepared the portal. The Human World Exchange students were going to be summoned first, with the Celestial Realm angels following not too far behind. Solomon had already packed his bags and moved into the Purgatory Hall prior to the Student Council Meeting, and Mc could admit it'd be lonely at HOL without him. Sure, they would have two of three humans to look after to keep them busy, but living with strangers is a lot lonelier than living with someone you had considered a close friend for centuries. Vaguely, it reminded Mc of the time before the demonic sorcerer had come crash-landing into the Devildom in a spot not too far from the original crater from a few years before. "Now, is everyone ready?"
Simeon's voice brought the room's attention to the now finished portal, remaining dormant and waiting. "As ready as I'll ever be." "Yep!" Solomon had set down the tome he was engrossed in, while Luke's eyes glinted with an eager joy. The room gazed back to Mc, earning a muffled "mhmm" as they rested the side of their head in their palm. The position was meant to be relaxing, a nice cradle for their head as they waited for the humans to emerge from the portal. And yet, as seven bodies passed through the portal, Mc's hands began to vigorously massage their temples. The pile of humans were very still, but still breathing thankfully.
"Luke?" The demon prince in question looked over to Mc, who had begun to strain their jaw to prevent their teeth from gnashing. "You had me select 16 profiles of humans, of which you were going to choose two. Like what you did with the angels. Why are there seven of them?" "Well, these ones all have a familial bond! I thought it would, y'know..." "I tried to talk him into less, but seven was the lowest I could get. He originally wanted to send all sixteen to the House of Lamentation, since there is technically enough room." Simeon cut Luke off, knowing the sort of reaction Mc would have at the prince's complete statement. Both demons knew that Luke meant no harm by it, but it was hardly the time to have the humans' protector sulking. Taking a breath, Mc ran a hand through their hair. "I am fully aware of the family situation. I was the one who picked out their files remember? Ugh..."
"..."
"Agh... damn it my head..." "Hey, you're crushing me! Get off Mammon!"
. ⋅ ˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ .
At the bottom of the pile lay the tallest out of the group of roommates. He had awoken to the feeling of being crushed and the sound of multiple people screeching in surprise. The ginger finally managed to sit up as the others skittered off in different directions. Frantic voices sounded from around him as he gasped for air. From his position on the floor he could see his other roommates around him, some sitting on the floor as well while the rest had jumped to their feet in shock. The only one who was still unconscious was his twin, likely from how late he had been up for his evening classes the day before. "Oh, hello again, Beelzebub. Or would you prefer me call you Big Guy again?" Beel squinted in the dim lighting straight ahead, from where the voice had come. A familiar looking face stared back at him with a strained smile, propping their head up on one of their hands as they stared at the group from a table in front of them. "On a nickname basis already?" "No, those are just the ones that I told you about from a good handful of months ago. The non-cult ones that summoned me." "I see, so which one is Asmodeus?" The two of the three strangers who sat next to his mysterious acquaintance had spoke up. The brunette spoke in a very calm manner, but the white-haired male sounded much more interested. "Hold on, hold on! We haven't even properly done introductions, don't go acting all friendly just yet!" The short blonde at the head of the table interrupted, jumping up from his seat. The trio that remained looked in-between each other for a moment before finally standing and lining up beside them.
The small line of four were definitely unique types, or at least Beel felt they were. The only unifying characteristic each of them held were their uniforms, in style and form. The shortest of the group stood out a bit like a sore thumb, the pastel blue base color of his uniform starkly contrasting the dark gray the rest of them wore. The four had stood in silence momentarily, before the brunette gave the blonde a gentle nudge. "We are glad you have awoken, dear humans." The formality in his tone sounded rehearsed. "Please, allow us to welcome you to the Devildom! We have brought you here in order to unite the three realms, so please do a good job." "Luke... Ehm. What my young master means is that we have brought you here to be a part of our Exchange Program." Beel had not heard his brothers this silent before, even when sleeping, but it would be hard to not admit he was also shocked into silence. "...Is this some sort of dream?" He asked, earning a soft chuckle. "Quite the human response. This is not a dream, no."
"Wait, wait, wait! What makes ya we're participatin' in this damn program of yours?! You just abducted us outta nowhere!" At the shout of his elder roommate, a confused look crossed the strangers' faces. "Did you already forget the letters I sent out? I signed my name on them really nice too." Luke frowned, toying with the end of one of his sleeves. Looking through his memories, Beel tried to recall any specific letters speaking about any exchange programs that he may have signed. He and his brothers had received numerous letters in the past couple of months about college, ranging from scholarship opportunities to colleges begging for their presences. There was a chance that he had forgotten about signing into some sort of foreign exchange program, but it was far less likely that all of his roommates had signed themselves into the exact same program and had also neglected it. "Solomon, can you grab the signed copies from the table? I had extras made in case." The butler looking one tapped on the shoulder of the one he was speaking to, causing the white-haired male to hum and grab a few documents from the table.
Solomon handed him the stack of papers, and even in the dark lighting of the room Beel could recognize the distinct and perfectly written out handwriting of his eldest roommate. Still, he handed them to their respective owners, who only confirmed with surprise that the handwriting was their own. Other than his twin, who was still somehow sleeping through this no matter how hard he was nudged. "Now that that matter is sorted, let's get back to introductions, shall we?" Solomon waited for any further interruptions. After a good minute of silence, he took it as the queue to continue.
"Well, your friend Asmodeus may have known me under a different name, but you may refer to me as Solomon. One of the two Avatars of Sin." The male had a bit of a pompous air around him as he gave his best welcoming smile. He pat the smallest of the group on the back, signaling him to speak. "I'm Luke! Prince of the Devildom." Luke held himself in a regal manner, but the eager shake in his voice was clear to just about anyone in the room. "I am Simeon. I serve Lord Luke and keep track of things in the kingdom." Simeon bowed respectfully to the group, a look of serene grace present on his features. Eyes fell onto the last remaining member of the Devildom natives. They responded with a sigh as they stood up from their slouching position, their hands settling in their pockets.
"I am Mc, the other Avatar of Sin. I will also be your caretaker for the time period of this program. All I ask is you stay close so I may ensure that other demons do not attempt to devour you and your souls so this program can function as needed."
⚝──⭒─⭑─⭒──⚝
(fnfisnfnjesfindj I hate it when I post this in the queue instead of actually posting it. Big sucks. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this! I'll probably continue this, so check in maybe next week ish. If you'd like a better way to imagine Mc's scaled tail, I personally work with seeing it like a pangolin's spines if they had poisonous tips. I am going to sleep for the next 6 hours lol. The its back to work on my other fic. Let me know if there is any weird bits or things that need fixing! Have a good morning/day/night! <3)

good stupid (l.r.h)
a/n: hi again! this is a short and sweet luke x student fem!reader imagine, and my first time posting smut,, i’m planning on posting some angsty stuff pretty soon sooo i wanted to have something pretty fluffy up but as i wrote it became clear to me that smut would fit well. so with all that being said, i hope you enjoy - emmy <33 (p.s, requests are still open but i am working on quite a few already and they take me slightly longer to write than my own pieces because i want to be sure i’m doing them justice. but all requests are extremely appreciated as well as any feedback on my writing. and i’m always up to chat, if you ever have something on your mind, no matter how random :))
pairing: luke hemmings x student fem!reader
summary: an innocent but important secret sparks a competitiveness between you and your boyfriend, but it may end in both of your favor.
warnings: smut, oral sex (female receiving), cursing, but mainly just fluffy romantic sex

Luke’s head was in your lap as you read from your textbook intently. Your eyebrows were tugged together and your lips pouted in concentration.
“You’re pretty.” he hummed, a sweet grin on his face.
You glanced down, scrunching your nose in fondness.
“You too.” you responded, poking his cheek.
“Stop, I’m blushing.” he joked, hiding his face behind his hands.
You laughed before turning your attention back to your studies, but Luke’s eyes remained glued to you only breaking contact occasionally to blink. You could feel his eyes on you, making it extremely hard to focus.
“Luke.” you scolded.
“What?” he whined.
“You gotta stop staring. I'm trying to study bub.”
“No can do, lovie. M’studying too.” he protested.
“And what are you studying?” you questioned.
“You.” he said matter of factly. “Happens to be my favorite subject.”
You pressed your lips together tightly to avoid smiling like an idiot. The two months you’d spent with Luke had been the best of your life, for the first time you felt like things were just right. It was as if you had been made for him and you kept finding yourself having to actively avoid blurting out the big L word. It was like it was always at the tip of your tongue threatening release, any time he would compliment you, or hug you tighter than normal, and it was especially hard when he kept looking at you like you hung the stars in the sky.
So caught up in your lovestruck haze, you hadn’t noticed that you had sat your book down next to you on the couch and were staring off into space.
Luke sat up and pulled you to his chest.
“What’s going on in that pretty little head of yours?” he poked, pressing a swift kiss to the top of your hairline.
“Just thinking.” you mumbled into his shoulder.
“Bout what? You gotta tell me I’m trying for an A in y/n studies.”
You laughed while shaking your head.
“I’m thinking about saying something stupid.” you said timidly, pulling out of Luke’s embrace to look him in the eyes.
“Good stupid or bad stupid?”
“M’not quite sure.” you answered, moving back into Luke’s arms.
His eyes flashed with mischief as he leaned away from you.
“I’ll give you a kiss if ya tell me.”
“I can get one of those whenever I want.” you replied, chasing his lips with your own.
“Nah, I think I’ll hold out for a while, can’t have you keeping secrets.”
You laughed, knowing how needy your boyfriend could get, “We’ll see how long that lasts.”
“Heyyy,” he drawled out. “No laughing, baby I’m serious. You won’t be getting any action till you spill.”
You just pretended to zip your lips shut and throw away the key in response before continuing your work. He would give in within the hour, you were sure of it.
This has been the longest 3 days of your life. You had no idea when kissing Luke had become such a big part of your everyday routine but it was becoming abundantly clear to you that it was.
Like this morning, when your alarm woke you up for class and you rolled over to kiss him without even thinking about it. You were centimeters away from making contact before a smile broke on Luke’s face and he rolled over to mumble,
“No kisses for you.” before closing his eyes once again.
Or when you dropped off lunch for the guys at the studio, you had been expecting at least a peck to express his gratitude for your favor, but all you got was a quick kiss on the back of your hand and a sly,
“Thank you, baby.”
Tonight you were determined, and there was no way in hell you would be the one to give in. You were cooking when he got home, freshly showered and wearing only one of his favorite shirts. Luke heard you before he saw you, humming to ABBA from the kitchen, he chuckled to himself before turning the corner.
“Hi baby.” you greeted, spinning on your heel while you sucked a bit of pasta sauce off your finger.
Luke groaned at the sight of you before sauntering over and wrapping his arms around your waist as you stirred your cooking pasta.
“You are making this extremely hard for me.” he hissed in your ear. Emphasis on the hard as he pressed himself against your back.
You squeezed your thighs together at the feeling but held your composure as you spun to face him.
“I dunno what you're talking about, Lu.”
“Tell me your secret and we can go upstairs.” he whined, tugging you away from the stove.
“And let my dinner get cold?” you teased, waving a disapproving finger.
As you finished cooking Luke sat at the table, his eyes following your every move.
“Food’s ready.” you announced as you pulled two plates from the cabinet.
When no response came you looked in his direction. He nodded and beckoned you forward with the curl of two fingers. You took a seat on his lap and wrapped your arms around his neck.
“What’s a matter, baby? Aren’t you hungry?” you cooed in his ear.
Luke clenched his jaw and ran a finger along your thigh, “I’m begging you to fess up. You’re looking way too pretty not to kiss and I don’t like to give in.”
“Me neither” you countered, your forehead pressed against his.
“Baby,” he whined.
“You really wanna know?” you said, your feet carrying you back to the counter as you got an unexpected surge of confidence.
“You have no idea.” he sighed from behind you. “Please put us both out of our misery, hm?”
“I love you.” you admitted, holding your breath as you stared at the marble countertop in front of you.
You could hear Luke stand up and felt his breath on the back of your neck within a second.
“That’s my secret.” you continued.
His hands ran down your sides before settling firmly on your hips, which he used as leverage to spin you in his direction. You kept your eyes to the floor once facing him but he was quick to change that, using his thumb and pointer to tilt your chin up. You looked up through your lashes to meet his eyes.
“And I love you more.” he returned. And there he went again with that look, as if you were his favorite thing in the entire universe.
You let out a sigh of relief, one that was cut short by Luke’s lips moving urgently against your own. You both seemed to melt into each other as his tongue worked its way into your mouth. He was quick to pick you up and set you on the counter, this way he wouldn’t strain his neck to kiss you. The kiss was breathy, needy, and exactly what your body had been craving for the past three torturous days.
“We are never ever doing that again.” he spoke into your mouth between kisses.
“Mhm.” you agreed as his hands groped at your thighs, pushing his shirt that you had on up in the process.
“Wrap your legs around me.” he instructed as you pulled away to breath.
“Lu, dinner.” you protested.
“I know, lovie. Later, I promise but right now m’hungry for something else and I can’t wait any longer.”
“Okay,” you agreed breathlessly, wrapping your legs around him tightly as he carried you into the bedroom.
Once in the bedroom he laid you out on the bed muttering out broken praises as he kissed down your neck.
“Hardest three days of my life.” he admitted as his hands slid under your shirt.
His palms were warm and rough on your skin and the only response you could muster was a soft whimper.
Once he found his way to your nipples you were a moaning mess beneath him.
“Off” you sighed, sitting up a bit so he could remove the shirt, leaving you completely bare.
He ran a finger down your stomach as he spoke, “So pretty for me, angel.”
You shuddered at his words feeling more needy by the second.
“Lu, please.”
“Feeling eager, baby? Me too. But I just wanna enjoy the girl I love for a bit.” he continued, as he settled between your legs.
Your heart skipped a beat at the word love, and you couldn’t help the dopey smile that appeared on your face.
He began peppering light kisses on your thighs each one slightly closer to where you needed him most. You started to squirm impatiently causing him to pull away and hover over your face,
“I love you.” he declared.
“I love you too.” you affirmed, straining your neck leaning to kiss him. Once you pulled away he grinned before returning to his previous position.
He wasted no more time before attaching his lips to your clit, working it furiously under his tongue.
Your head immediately threw back in pleasure, and if it weren’t for Luke’s hands holding you down you were sure your hips would’ve bucked up.
You were whimpering relentlessly as he hummed in content against you.
“Taste’s so good, baby. Missed this so much.”
You only mewled in response, feeling your first orgasm begin to creep up on you already.
“Lu,” you moaned, your hands finding his hair and tugging lightly causing him to grunt. “M’close.”
“Yea? Doing so good, wanna come for me, love?” he questioned, adding a finger as he continued the assault on your clit.
“Y-yes” you stuttered out, your breath catching in your throat as you reached your climax. You shook under Luke’s hold as he worked you through your orgasm.
As you recovered he nipped at your neck and left a trail of kisses up your jaw before finally reaching your lips. You kissed him sloppily still feeling hazy from the pleasure.
“Gonna let me take you?” he cooed, continuing to pepper kisses all over your face.
“Please.” you nodded.
“Okay, baby. Lemme grab something.” he said before carrying himself over to his nightstand to retrieve a condom.
Once he rolled the condom on and made his way back to you he rubbed his thumb on your hip as he lined himself up with your entrance.
“Ready?”
“Yea, Lu. Need you” you mewled.
He began to press into you slowly, letting your body adjust to the stretch as he inched in. Once he was completely in, you clenched in pleasure at the sensation of being so completely full. This caused Luke to grunt loudly,
“Fuck, so good for me, angel” he praised. “Lemme know when I can move. Okay, baby?”
You nodded quickly as you took your bottom lip in between your teeth.
“Move, please.” you begged, desperate for friction.
He started with slow thrusts, they were passionate and so filling you felt like you might actually burst. His thumb found your clit and began rubbing slow circles as he continued.
“F-faster,” you stumbled over your words, the pleasure overwhelming you. “I need faster.”
Luke was happy to comply, picking up the pace with each thrust. As he pounded into you harder he pressed further, his head nudging at your g-spot causing you to squeal, your fingers gripping at the sheets.
“Is that the spot?” he questioned hitting it repeatedly, causing your brain to essentially go numb. The only active thought being, Luke.
You physically couldn’t gather the strength or power to speak so instead you just nodded, your entire body falling slack as your second orgasm approached.
“Gonna come for me again, baby? Show me how good I’m making you feel?”
As if you weren’t already feeling enough, Luke chose this moment to attach his lips to your neck again sucking harshly at the spot he knew made you weak.
“Fuck, baby.” he groaned, breaking away. “Can feel you clenching around me. Cum for me y/n, I know you can do it. C’mon gimme one more, wanna come with you.”
You came undone around him as he hit your most sensitive spot over and over again. He followed immediately after, your name falling from his lips repeatedly during his release.
So completely fucked out, you didn’t even notice when he pulled out, and tied off the condom before throwing it away and flopping down next to you on the bed.
“How are you doing, my love.” he asked sweetly while pulling you to his chest.
You nodded into him and mumbled, “m’good, really good.”
“I love you so much.” he spoke into your forehead before pressing a wet kiss on it. “How ‘bout I get ya all cleaned up and then warm us up some dinner to eat in bed?” he questioned, eyes studying your face.
“Will you shower with me?” you asked timidly.
“Well, I wasn’t planning on doing it alone.” he teased, lifting you up.
As he sat on the edge of the tub, you on his lap, letting the shower run over his hand to ensure the water temperature was just right for you, you buried your face into his neck.
“M’so glad I told you my secret.”
“Me too.” he laughed. “Though, that whole no kissing thing was stupid.”
“Good stupid.” you countered.

word count: 3.25k
requests: Anonymous asked:Hope your doing well and Omg you cannot leave us like that with his favorite club :( my heart is breaking. We need more!! We need cute fluffiness where Luke can change some of those controlling ways. Maybe a kidnapping or something? His worst nightmare coming true that his rivalry is using Bambi to hurt him?
Anonymous asked:For the next part of bambi and Luke, maybe while bambi is at Anna’s, a rival of Luke finds her and she’s really scared and even though they aren’t on the best terms Luke somehow finds her and rescue her
this gif...wow. he’s so pretty <3
ALSO?? LUKE IS ENGAGED TO SIERRA??? I FOUND OUT AND SCREAMED FR AHDFGHBNJHGFD IM SO HAPPY FOR THEM OMG
ᴅɪsᴄʟᴀɪᴍᴇʀ- ɪ ᴅᴏ ɴᴏᴛ ᴄᴏɴᴅᴏɴᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴇᴘᴏsᴛɪɴɢ ᴏʀ ᴛʀᴀɴsʟᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ᴏғ ᴍʏ ғɪᴄs ᴡɪᴛʜᴏᴜᴛ ᴍʏ ᴘᴇʀᴍɪssɪᴏɴ. ɪ ᴏʙᴠɪᴏᴜsʟʏ ᴅᴏɴ’ᴛ ᴏᴡɴ ʟᴜᴋᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜɪs ɪs ᴘᴜʀᴇʟʏ ғɪᴄᴛɪᴏɴ. ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ɪs ɴᴏ ᴅɪsʀᴇsᴘᴇxᴛ ᴍᴇᴀɴᴛ ʙʏ ᴛʜᴇsᴇ ғɪᴄs, ᴛʜᴇʏ ᴀʀᴇ sɪᴍᴘʟʏ ғᴏʀ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏᴍᴇɴᴛ. ᴛʜᴀɴᴋʏᴏᴜ <3
Bambi hadn’t had a particularly great few weeks. She needed space, she knew that, and she knew that time away from Luke would do her the world of good. Anna had been nothing but kind to her, hospitable, not asking too many questions about why she was there and why Luke hadn’t shown up. Anna knew of Luke’s more controlling ways, so it baffled her that he hadn’t even acknowledged the girl being away for so long.
From what Anna had observed previously, Luke could barely breathe without the girl by his side; couldn’t rest easy. Neither could his girlfriend...if they could even call each other that anymore.
Anna, in all honestly, just wanted to know what the hell happened. She knew her best friend well, and she hadn’t stopped looking like you had kicked a puppy right in front of her. Hardly even speaking, barely going out, a very small and almost unnoticeable frown on her face.
It was a miracle that Anna had managed to get her out to the club last night. Sure, the smaller girl didn’t have the best time, but it was far better than any plans that she had at the weekend. All she planned on doing was sitting around and moping, the girl was miserable.
Maybe it was selfish, but she really wanted Luke to text her. She wanted some sort of proof that he still cared for her, and compared to his normal overprotective nature, this was so...different. It was almost as if he didn’t care for her anymore, maybe he moved on. Bambi didn’t know. What she did know of, however, was that Luke had a history of sleeping around. What if he didn’t bother coming back for her and just went back to his old ways instead?
It made her feel sick.
Maybe that’s why she barely got through the first round of shots before she was telling Anna she was going to head home, not wanting to be too much of a damper on her best friend’s night.
It seemed that the plan had worked. By the next morning, Anna was nursing an awful migraine due to her hangover and was sporting many new bruises that she didn’t know where they were from. At some point during the night, she had broken a heel off of her shoes, the discarded heel nowhere to be seen.
Anna still demanded they were going out to run errands the day after, dismissing her hangover but demanding that the smaller girl drove her. Surprisingly, she had gotten used to driving after so long of not even having her hands on a steering wheel. It wasn’t her fault that Luke had always preferred that he or Jacob drove her.
Granted, the girl didn’t have a car yet, but Anna was chill about her using hers.
“Anna,” The girl called out from the room, putting her converse on and tying them up, awaiting her friend to reply to her shout.
However, her reply never came, making the girl sigh. Maybe the girl had fallen asleep or just didn’t want to shout back due to her headache. She quickly picked up her purse and walked into the hallway leading into the main front room, “When are we leaving for-”
The smaller girl cut herself off, looking up towards where Anna should have been by herself but instead was pulled against a man’s chest, tears streaming from her eyes, absolutely horrified. A gun was pointed at Anna’s head, making Bambi still in fear.
“One bad move and this bullet goes into her brain, kid,” One of the men’s gruff voices warned, making fear hit the small girl like a wave. She didn’t know what to do, she wasn’t exactly prepared for it.
Bambi stilled, eyes traveling up to meet the older man in front of her, he looked powerful, must have been their leader. He was older than her, but couldn’t have been much older than 30. Small pieces of stubble decorating his jawline and a black shirt covering his muscles, stretching across his wide chest.
“Good move, princess. You’re coming with us,” The next thing the small girl knew was that the gun was no longer pointed towards Anna, instead, it was directly facing her. One pulling of the trigger and a bullet was going to lodge its way between her eyes.
Bambi didn’t have any time to react or notice the person behind her before their cloth-covered hand was covering her mouth. She was pulled against their body, restricted, unable to scream. Her mouth was dry with fear, the strong smell of chemicals hitting her nostrils as she breathed in. Chloroform.
Bambi’s eyes meet Anna’s tear-filled ones, her figure shaking lightly with terror. Anna was pressed down against the counter now, cheek against the marble, hands behind her back, and gun pressing against her temple. She could only watch, helpless, as her best friend was being manhandled out of the house.
Bambi couldn’t do anything either -weaponless- defenseless against these guys but she knew exactly why they were there. They were there to get her, to use her as a bargaining chip against Luke, just about the biggest cliché in the book. The small girl couldn’t help but wonder what they would do to her once they found out that she was useless, and no longer affiliated with the tall Australian. Would they put a bullet in her brain? Send her in a bag to the bottom of a lake?
However, the girl didn’t get much time to question or worry about this as the chloroform from the cloth weakened her as she was about the be thrown in the car, slumping against the man behind her, eyes closed, legs collapsing from beneath her, her consciousness slowly ebbing away into nothingness.
By the time that the girl had woken up, her vision was blurry, and she was tied to a chair, her arms behind her, legs tied to an individual leg of said chair. She was in a warehouse that looked to be completely abandoned, a hole in the roof allowing cold air to waft about. It was freezing.
“Looks like sleeping beauty had woken up,” A scratchy masculine voice taunted at the small girl, standing tall in front of her, blocking her from seeing anything.
“What do you want from me?” Her voice was also scratchy, maybe from the chloroform, she wasn’t entirely sure. She still felt disorientated, barely keeping herself from staying upright as she looked at the man who stood above her, a sinister grin on his face.
“We don’t want anything from you, kid. We want your boyfriend’s head blown off his body.”
“I don’t,” Bambi cut herself off for a moment, coughing, “I don’t have a boyfriend.”
The man above her scoffed, rolling his eyes as he looked back down at the girl again, “Don’t act like I’m stupid, princess. All you gotta do is phone him, and Hemmings will come rushing to save his little girlfriend.”
Tears gather in the girl’s eyes as the reality of the situation kicks in. It isn’t a dream, this was her real life. She didn’t want to be trapped like this, in this chair or this life. Luke didn’t care for her anymore, he hadn’t talked to her in weeks, why would he come and save her?
“He won’t come.”
“Don’t play me, princess. I’ve never seen Hemmings ever with a girl twice until you,” He pointed towards the girl, sneering ever so slightly, “You are the key to us getting his gang wiped off of the map. starting with Hemmings, then Clifford, then Hood and Irwin.”
Tears choked up the girl’s throat, her mouth opening as she thought of the fight that she had with him, then the weeks of not talking. The loneliness, the discord. Luke hadn’t bothered to reach out to her, to check that she was ok. Her head shook slightly as the strong emotions continued to arise, “He doesn’t love me anymore, it’s useless.”
The man’s hand gripped the edge of Bambi’s shirt lightly, his jaw clenching as he spoke harshly, spit flying out of his mouth as he threatened the young girl. The gun, which had loosely been held in the man’s hand was now pointed at her once more, “Didn’t ask for your fucking sob story, kid. Open your fucking phone and call him.”
Bambi was frozen in fear, it felt like ice was going through her veins as her phone was thrashed harshly into her shaking hand. At her hesitance to call him, the gun was pressed harshly into the skin of her ribcage as the man ordered again, this time with his words even more clipped, “Now.”
She knew the man wasn’t asking, it wasn’t even an order, it was a threat. This man was dangerous, and she was defenseless against him, if she even wanted a chance of survival she had to comply and hope that he prayed mercy on her and let her go when she realizes she isn’t of use. Shakily, the girl found Luke’s contact, swallowing back her tears, she pressed the call button.
It was silent in the big room in the warehouse other than the few rings the phone made out as the man made her put the phone on speaker. Surprisingly, only a few moments of the phone ringing, it stopped, connecting onto the call with the tall Australian himself.
“Hello?” Luke’s voice sounded out and the girl felt the tears begin to roll down her cheeks at the sound of his voice. It was familiar, it felt like home but at the same time, she felt her stomach clench. His voice was surprisingly soft, the only indication that Luke knew that it was his Bambi calling.
She knew that he had been expecting her to call most likely. She just wished it hadn’t happened like this. She opened her mouth to talk, but the words didn’t form as the tears fell harder, his voice sounding through once more, this time sounding more concerned, “Bambi? What is it?”
“Luke I-” She cut herself off, forcing her sobs to stay silent as she felt the man press the gun against her in annoyance, rolling his eyes before stealing the phone out of the girl’s hand.
“Hemmings, you know when I found out you had a new girlfriend I didn’t think she’d be quite as soft as this,” The man taunted as he stared down at the girl in front of him, “She’s not your usual type, is she? Where’d you find this one?”
“What do you want, Andrews?”
“I want you to meet me at the warehouse, you know the one I’m sure,” The man had rolled his eyes, not that Luke could have seen and a smirk rose to his face, “I’d tell you to come alone without any weapons but I won’t. Bring Hood, Clifford, Irwin, I don’t care. I can just wipe out you all at the same time.”
It was silent for a moment, “What makes you think I will?”
“Because if you don’t I’ll make sure the next time you see your little love she’ll have a bullet in her head. Wouldn’t want me to mess up her pretty little face, would you?” He looked back at the smaller girl again, sending her a malicious smile that made the hair on the back of her neck stand up, “You have an hour, Hemmings.”
With that, the man hung up, tossing the girl’s phone to the floor and crushing it swiftly with the heel of his shoe.
The next hour was taunting for the small girl. The man didn’t leave her side, almost as if he was afraid that she would escape. At that time, she tried to distract herself with anything, but the cold warehouse was bare apart from the chair she was stuck to and the clock that stood high on the wall in front of her, taunting her almost.
The time slowly went by, and the girl lost hope. Luke wasn’t coming for her. Soon enough, the clock struck the time that would have been an hour past the phone call. Then another ten minutes passed. Another five.
“He isn’t coming,” The girl had spoken up to the man, which most definitely wasn’t the smartest thing.
The man continued to look straight forward, scoffing, “Shut up girl. He will.”
He seemed so assured of himself, of Luke. For a man that hated Luke so much, he seemed to have a lot of faith in him. The silence, which had yet again filled up the room was broken by the sound of someone talking through the radio, yet it was too broken up to hear.
The man took the radio off of the side of his pants, holding it up to his face, “Jason? Tyson? Can anyone hear me?”
Only more crackling sounds were heard until it faded off into silence. The man’s face twisted into a scowl as he cursed under his breath, getting his gun out and marching towards the door. He wasn’t very smart, clearly, leaving the girl unguarded and alone; she was all of the leverage he had against Luke.
The sound of gunshots made the girl flinch, eyes screwing shut as she began to shake. She didn’t want to be here. She just wanted to be home, in her bed. Not Anna’s guest bedroom, but her own. She couldn’t deal with this anymore.
The fighting got louder and louder until she heard someone battering right against the walls of the room she was in. The door heaved open, but she couldn’t find it in herself to open her eyes, too petrified of who could be there if she did. Hands pressed against her skin as she jumped, trying to fight them away but to no avail as they untied her bound legs.
“Bambi,” The man breathed out, and suddenly the smell of a familiar cologne clung to Bambi’s nostrils, her tears going thicker.
Her eyes opened to find Luke in front of her, crouched down, throwing the rope away that she had been tied to. She threw herself into his arms, hands going around his neck, one hand in his curls. He held onto her like he was scared she was going to evaporate right between his arms, holding her close against his body.
“It’s alright dove, I’ve got you,” He whispered, trying his best to comfort the sobbing girl in his arms. His eyes were closed, thankful to have the girl back in his embrace, and had no plan to let go of her anytime soon, “I got you.”
Calum, Ashton, and Michael had covered his back, successfully eliminating all of the threats as he had raced to get his girl, to have her safe with him once more. They had entered the room to see their best friend crouched down, practically encasing the smaller girl in his arms as she cried, him comforting her. They deserved their privacy, even after everything that had gone on, but they knew they needed to get out of here soon.
The girl’s tears subsided for a moment as she pulled away from the man, eyes darting around and voice panicky, “You need to find Anna, she was-”
“I know, she called me. She’s safe. We’ve been trying to figure out a plan to get you back for three hours now baby,” After his reassurance, he used the hand that was on the back of her head to push her towards him slightly, kissing her forehead as he played with her hair.
Soon enough, he has his leather jacket off, leaving him in only his black button-up, splaying the jacket across her shoulders to keep her warm. The drive back to their condo is silent, but that’s exactly how it should be. Luke doesn’t take his hand away from Bambi for the entire ride, despite how dangerous it could be. He just wants to remind himself that she’s there; back in his arms.
Luke had to admit, the condo felt warmer now that she was back in it. She sat on the counter in the bathroom, hand holding onto Luke’s as if it was her lifeline as he ran them both a bath, helping her strip down and get into the bath before sliding in behind her, pulling her against him.
Bambi basked in the warmth that both the water and the person behind her gave her. They barely talked for the first ten minutes, enjoying the comfort that the silence brings with it.
“I love you,” Luke murmured, pressing a kiss against her shoulder, stubbly beard itching her shoulder.
“I love you too, Lu,” The girl twisted around to face the man, pressing her lips against his, bubble-covered hand getting bubbles on his face. She doesn’t mention the beard, far too tired to make unnecessary conversation. She, however, noticed the guilty and solemn expression on her boyfriend’s face, quietly stating, “It’s not your fault, you know.”
“I should’ve protected you,” He whispered, hand reaching up to cradle her cheek, softly tracing patterns on her cheek with his thumb.
“No, you were giving me space, as I wanted. You were being respectful of my boundaries, and I love you for that.”
“It put you in danger, Bambi,” His hand that was around her waist pulled her closer when he said that, “I’ll do better, I promise. I’ll protect you.”
“No, Lu. You can’t protect me forever,” The girl said, kissing him on the cheek before speaking again, eyes never moving from the gaze that she held with the blue-eyed man, “I wanna drive, go out by myself without Jacob. I wanna go to the club-”
“Absolutely not,” Luke scoffed, shaking his head, his protective side of the smaller girl coming out.
“Luke,”
She looked up at him, head tilted slightly to the side with an eyebrow raised. He stared down at her, holding his ground before he looked away, letting out a slightly exasperated and breathy laugh, “Fine. But you only go to the club with me and you never leave my side. And you’re taking boxing classes. MMA, whatever. I’m teaching you how to fight. You need to tell me where you’re going at all times and sometimes let Jacob drive you but you still need to leave when low-level gang members are here-”
“Luke.”
“Fine. But you need to keep your distance from them, ok?”
The girl smiled beamingly, kissing him on the lips. She knew that from a protective boyfriend like Luke, that was the best that she was going to get, “Thanks babe, love you!”
Luke grumbled something lightly that sounded like ‘yeah, love you too’ as he rolled his eyes, the girl starting to clamber out of the bath. Her hands were starting to wrinkle due to the water, showing her that she needed to get out. However, she nearly slipped, thankfully being held back by her boyfriend, who helped her get out safely.
Slipping a towel over her body, she sent her boyfriend a sheepish smile, “How’re you expected to defend yourself at the club if you can’t even get out the bath, Bambi?”
“Oh shut it, Lu,” The girl laughed, making the blond’s face crack out into a small smile, “You coming or what?”
“Yeah yeah, give me a minute,” With that, the girl left, leaving the man to shake his head with a smile on his face. They were both back, with each other, where they belonged.

Now I really am back to reading your fics like a morning newspaper dgkdkg at this rate I should come up with a name for this fanfic paper....
Super Attorney dfjzhf is it Ace Attorney but a TV show? Honestly good taste mc.
Man, I really feel the not apologising thing. I mean, I apologise to friends and acquaintances of course but it's a family thing? I guess? I'm pretty sure this is a kind of common thing too. I'd probably have the same reaction as Giann if someone from my family actually apologised.
I love how Giann's first reaction when someone finds out something he doesn't want to is think Luke told them dgidig Luke will forever be thought of as a snitch now.
Giann nearly falling on his broken leg trying to see Neil right after admitting he hasn't been focusing on recovery is hilarious chkck he just went from not focusing to nearly actively fucking it up by accident poor Marius. First him leaving the room and going to the rooftop and now this.
NEIL XGJXGJCKG I CAN'T BELIEVE HE TRIED TO FAKE AMNESIA
Congratulations Neil you get to do shovel talks now! Start with Marius, he's right there and also it's his turn to get one now.
Looking at the end notes: Marbles von Hagen.....he'd be that marble that rolls away everytime you take them out of their bag or something. What troubles will he get into as a sphere....
And with that, that's the final chapter of this fic and my thoughts on it! As always, excellent chapter! This fic ended perfectly, and I'm definitely going to revisit it from time to time. Particularly when canon Giann and Neil come out, gotta see how similar they are to this fic. Thank you for writing this!!! It was a joy to read and I adored it so, so much.
🌌
waaaaahh, gmorning milkyway!! i hope u enjoyed today's morning paper written by zak who isnt telling you the news and is just making fic where characters get all emo and stuff, HAHA
JHSVKFJHSDK super attorney is a show mentioned in Artem SR Focus Fire. in terms of content, all we know is that it's a legal drama. but the Big Data Lab entry has this hilarious detail "It is supposedly inspired by real cases, but a certain anonymous critic has criticized the series as being overly dramatic and not reflective of reality." oh artem....KJHVFJAHSFJ
hoo boy yea the not apologizing thing was deffo inspired as a family thing. ive got 3 siblings and i love them very much and i'd consider all of us very close. but when any of us fight, we rarely apologize with like, the actual words. when it does happen tho, that when the situation is like Big
if im ranking the new team in terms of first impressions: luke honestly landed in last place due to sheer strangeness, giving giann a heartattack, and also snitching JHVSKJHDFKSDJ sorry dude
vjhKJHVKJH P MUCH, i just think itd be funny if giann didnt have a braincell sometimes, especially when it comes to people he cares about. it be like...
marius: i need u to recover so i can feel a bit more sane giann: okay i promise to focus on that :( //proceeds to nearly re-break his leg
neil wants to cause CHAOS. i assume part of why artem's deadpan expression these days is so good is because neil hume was his mentor and neil was a rascal
NEIL'S TURN TO SPEEDRUN!!! artem arrives at the room and neil is like "YOU OVERACHIEVER??? GO BIG OR GO HOME, HUH???" and artem is so confused
hjhJKHVKJHVKJ SPHERICAL NUISANCE!!! i figure thatd be austin and giann's rationale later on, but it did mostly start out from like "marius" -> "mar/marmar" -> "marbles"
when i pitched this hc on my priv twt, someone suggested "marmite" as a nickname and i lost my mind JHSJHFSKJDHF
thank YOU so so much for this lovely comment, milkyway :((( and for reading every chapter and commenting on each one, pls, every single one always made my morning and just made me rlly happy 🥺
now that this fic is over, it is time for me to look upon my horrid gdrive folder and see what ridiculous feels i will inflict upon you all next :DDD
#milkyway!anon#asks#i may use marbles for another fic so it can see the light of day in a fully written scene HAHA#commints#OH RIGHT I GOTTA UPDATE THE MASTERLISTS.....after i get back from the dentist i gotta run for an appointment jhfjsd

smoke and blood (1113 words) by adaimperium Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Percy Jackson and the Olympians & Related Fandoms - All Media Types, The Heroes of Olympus - Rick Riordan Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Annabeth Chase & Jason Grace Characters: Annabeth Chase (Percy Jackson), Jason Grace, Thalia Grace (haunting the narrative) Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, should be canon, Annabeth Chase & Jason Grace Friendship, Annabeth Chase is Bad at Feelings, Jason Grace Needs a Hug, Families of Choice, Underage Smoking, Fucked Up Childhood Reminiscing, Wordcount: 1.000-3.000 Series: Part 15 of a one-shot by any other name Summary:
Jason shudders and pulls his blanket closer as Annabeth just shifts inside her own blue blanket plastered with a huge smiling cartoon Thor.
“Chris Rodriguez?” Jason guesses, motioning to the blanket with his chin.
Annabeth smiles wanly. “Luke, actually. Come sit with me, Jason.”
Annabeth and Jason smoke on the roof of Hera’s Cabin and discuss Thalia Grace and Camp Jupiter.
.x.
.x.
Jason couldn’t sleep.
The thunder in Cabin 1 picked up and usually, Jason could fall asleep before it reached this stage, but something kept him up as he curled up in Thalia’s old cot.
Annabeth had said something about a bed with a canopy and sound-proof curtains. About raising a platform and setting up more beds. A set of six, she had said. Three and three, Zeus had a tendency to keep these kinds of things, even like that. Castor and Helen, Herakles and Aegyptus, Hebe and Ares, Jason and Thalia.
He really needed to stop coming back to Thalia. He tried his best to be content with the mortal P.O box that he sent letters to in hopes that one day he’d get an answer to his questions.
Questions he had had all his life but no one dared answer. Questions that were so stupid, sometimes he wondered what he was doing with his life.
Jason sighs, and rolls off Thalia’s— his cot, and cringes at the freezing marble floor of the cabin-shrine. He gathers the gag gift of the Lightning McQueen blanket Chris Rodriguez had given him and pads across the floor to the door. Shooting a wary look at the Hippie Zeus Statue in case it had the mystical ability to summon the harpies, Jason slips out of his Cabin.
It’s freezing out, the cold chilling him to the bone and reminding him of Boreas’s palace in Quebec. Thinking about that first quest had him wondering if Piper and Leo were still awake, if he might be able to let some of his pent-up fears that haunted that cabin finally leave the vault of his chest.
He stands on the porch, hesitating and deliberating if it would be better to go back into freezing, thundering Cabin 1 when he spots the smoke on top of Hera’s Cabin. He frowns, Lightning McQueen blanket dragging behind him, as he squints up at the roof of Cabin 2. A smoke ring comes from the roof and it clicks.
Awkwardly, not wanting to let go of his nice, warm blanket, Jason floats upwards and lands on the freezing roof of Cabin 2.
“It’s a filthy habit,” Annabeth says, a languid half-smirk on her face as she shows off the cigarette in between her fingers. “I know.”
Jason shudders and pulls his blanket closer as Annabeth just shifts inside her own blue blanket plastered with a huge smiling cartoon Thor.
“Chris Rodriguez?” Jason guesses, motioning to the blanket with his chin.
Annabeth smiles wanly. “Luke, actually. Come sit with me, Jason.”
He had never spoken to Annabeth privately, not like Leo when he wanted her opinion on the Argo II or Piper wanted to talk with someone who wasn’t her half-siblings.
He wants to change that, he realizes. He wants to get to know his sister’s sister and understand why Annabeth Chase is so beloved in the eyes of Chiron and Thalia. Wants to understand why he and her were not the trade instead of him and Perseus.
What wrath did the gods fear for someone as well-loved as her to not be taken? Did they fear Perseus? Thalia? Or both, angry and seeking their lover and sister throughout the world.
Jason wonders if anyone is still looking for him. Probably not. It’s been a month and as much as he knew Reyna wouldn’t let him be declared, so swiftly, the legion needed a new leader.
Jason eyes the cigarette, then makes a decision. “Got another one?”
Annabeth smiles and pulls out a match from somewhere and strikes it against the marble. It shouldn’t ignite. It still does.
She easily lights a cigarette and hands it over to Jason. He awkwardly sticks it into his mouth and inhales through it, coughing as he expels the smoke from his mouth.
“Di immortales,” he rasps out. Annabeth throws back her head and laughs.
“And here I was starting to think you were stuck up, Jason.” she says, gray eyes gleaming with amusement.
“My centurion,” Jason says with amusement, “would beg to differ. I drove her insane with all my radical ideas of renaming the 12th Legion to the 1st Legion.”
He sticks the cigarette in his mouth again and inhales through his nose, having a bit more success in not coughing like an idiot.
“He’s in California, isn’t he.” Annabeth states, voice abruptly dull. “I really don’t want to go back there.”
“Bad memories?”
She closes her eyes and blows out a plume of smoke. When her eyes open, she picks out a star and clearly tries to use it to keep him from seeing the tears in her eyes. Too bad, Jason had been doing that trick since he was six.
“He showed up to my house before it all went down. Asked me to go with him. I refused, and now he’s dead. Sometimes I wonder—”
“You were fifteen.” Jason says firmly. “When I was fifteen, I fought the Trojan Sea Monster after one of my cohort mates angered Neptune so much he wanted a repeat. Turns out, she was planning on joining Krios on Mount Tam and betraying us. I executed her myself. When adults make us do stuff despite us not even being close to having a fully developed brain, it’s on them., not us.”
“Holy Hades.” Annabeth mutters, making a three—fingered claw and pushing it away from her chest. Surprisingly, Jason felt better as a bitter cold dug into his skin through his Lightning McQueen blanket. “That’s fucked up.”
Jason nods and takes another puff of his cigarette. Annabeth follows suit, discarding her Thor blanket and letting the cold in as she makes a smoke ring.
“I miss her. Thalia that is. We used to go around the East Coast, hunting monsters and the past and never looking back. It was a happy time. I think you might’ve been happier with us, hungry and cold with only hammers as weapons, instead of with the Romans.” she says. “You would’ve learned what it meant to be on the run from everything connected to your past.”
“I didn’t think I had one.” Jason admits. “I thought I had sprung from Jupiter’s head like Minerva and just been given to Lupa straight after. I hardly remember Thalia, but I think I already love her more than I can bear.”
“She and Percy have that in common.” Annabeth agrees. “They’re both impossible not to love with everything you have in you.”
They both sit on that cabin roof, talking, until a cow starts mooing below them and the sun starts rising.
It’s better than sleeping in a marble coffin.

The Celestial Realm Was Perfect
(Part of the half-demon series, this fic takes place in the early part of season 2)
Part 1 Part 2 Part 2.5 Part 3 Part 4
This one is REALLY angsty, so be prepared, it’s got a... somewhat happy ending? I can’t exactly write something depressing and not make everyone feel better at the end... I’ve been wanting to write something like this for a while though, so I hope you all enjoy!
((Content warning: mentions of wings being torn off, nothing too visceral))
L!MC: Lucifer’s Kid!MC | M!MC: Mammon’s kid!MC | A!MC: Asmo’s Kid!MC
The Celestial Realm was perfect.
L!MC finally understood exactly why Luke sang its praises so often. The little angel had made it his personal mission to paint the perfect picture of the place to L!MC to convince them that it was just so much better than the Devildom. It seemed that Luke didn’t need to stretch the truth that much, the Celestial Realm was aesthetically perfect.
It was just a visit, mind you. Word had gotten up to the Celestial Realm about the three half demons and just about every high ranking angel was practically falling over themselves to invite the rulers of hell and the children up for a friendly visit. Diavolo of course, accepted immediately.
One would think L!MC was worried about how the angels would react to them, a half human half demon child, but that would be ridiculous. L!MC didn’t worry about dumb trivial things like that, the fact that they stuck close to their father and attempted to hold their head up high like he did was just a coincidence.
Their worries were completely unfounded. The angels made their awkward greetings to Lucifer, who responded coldly and professionally, but all the awkwardness faded once they laid their eyes on L!MC. They doted and cooed at them, asking about school and friends they had made.
It reminded L!MC about all the human family gatherings they had been brought to, the entire experience was complete with cheek pinches and hugs from people they didn’t recognize. It didn’t matter, L!MC basked in the attention.
“You look just like him, but just look at that smile!” Uriel chirped. “Lucifer never gave us a smile that bright.”
“Not even as a little kid?” L!MC asked, Uriel shook his head.
“Nope!” Uriel grinned cheekily. “Legend has it he came into existence scowling about something or other!”
Lucifer sighed and grumbled nearby, turning away from the two angels he and Diavolo were talking to. “Uriel, do you plan on being like Simeon and spending all your time gushing about me as an angel?”
Uriel seemed to shrink back slightly. “N-no... why would I do that?”
L!MC had to withhold a giggle, it seemed Lucifer had the same affect on angels as he did on the lesser demons.
The angels had been nothing but sweet, they doted on A!MC and M!MC in a similar manner. L!MC couldn’t hide their smile as they continued their walk through the Celestial Realm. It seemed Luke was right about another thing, the Celestial Realm’s inhabitants were the perfect hosts.
They imagined how their father must have looked back then, they knew only the bare minimum from the ramblings of Luke and the time Diavolo spent gushing about how gorgeous Lucifer was. Six pure white wings, a halo, celestial armour that shone in the light, making him as bright as a star...
It must have been a truly gorgeous sight to behold.
L!MC imagined how they may have looked... white wings, a halo, pretty flowy clothes, a life in the Celestial Realm. They paused the daydream and laughed softly, it was so bright in the Celestial Realm they would need to be constantly be wearing sunglasses!
Asmo was pulling A!MC around and pointing out all the things he deemed, A!MC looked around with starry eyed wonder.
“Oh! I remember this place! Beel and Belphie ended up falling down those stairs more times than I can count. It’s a miracle they didn’t get hurt!” Asmo then smiled brightly and examined his reflection in the shining marble staircase. “A!MC, don’t we look great? We should make all the staircases in the Devildom shining marble!”
A!MC half nodded as they stared up at the sparkling buildings. “Yeah... marble...”
L!MC tore their gaze away from the pair to see M!MC on Beel’s shoulders, pointing and laughing at the... somewhat awkward shape of one of the spires. “The view up here’s great. Jealous, Belphie?”
Belphie scoffed and shook his head. “Enjoy it while it lasts, kid. I’m up next.”
The group was led into one of the buildings, a really old and absolutely gorgeous parliament building that almost made MC’s jaw drop in sheer awe. Angels milled about inside, casting curious glances at the group as they walked through. Paintings lined the walls with frames almost as magnificent as the paintings themselves. And of course, the floor was just as clean and shiny as all the marble staircases.
The Avatar of Greed had slowed his pace considerably, quieting down and slinking to the back of the group. L!MC, who was in the middle of the group nearly rolled their eyes. Of course Mammon would be sneaking off to try and steal something.
As Mammon disappeared down a hallway with no one but L!MC the wiser, they took it upon themselves to go after him. And to think, when MC first got there he thought he’d have to babysit them...
L!MC snuck away from the group, everyone too preoccupied with their rosy nostalgia to really notice their absence. As they sped through the hallways after Mammon, they noticed the farther they went, the fewer angels there were, and the less grand the building became. It slowly morphed into what a human world’s storage building’s hallway looked like. No gorgeous paintings, no sparkly floor, and the doors that were open contained row upon row of shelves containing files and folders. The files would sometimes float on and off the shelves, moving themselves around and sometimes float out the door and down the hallway.
It wasn’t creepy per say, just a bit odd. L!MC picked up their pace as they caught a flash of white hair disappear into a room as they rounded the corner.
“Mammon!” L!MC hissed, they moved closer to the door. “Mammon! I’m going to tell Lucifer if you steal something and cause a-”
Mammon burst out of the room, his face drained of all colour. Upon seeing L!MC he wordlessly grabbed their hand and pulled them away from the room. L!MC tried to steal a glance inside, but Mammon yanked them forward and shook his head.
“Don’t go in there.” He said, his tone unusually serious.
“Why? What did you see?” L!MC asked as they tried to keep in step with the taller demon.
Mammon whirled on them, his eyes wild and sweat beading on his forehead. He stopped suddenly and put his hands on their shoulders. “L!MC, clean the wax out of your ears and listen. You can’t go in there. Nothin’ good’s in there. Got it?”
L!MC hesitated, what was in there that could have spooked him so much? They slowly nodded. “Okay.”
“Okay?”
“Okay.”
Mammon let out a deep breath and patted their shoulders. “Good... now we should get back to the others.”
The glare Lucifer gave Mammon did nothing to alter the second-born’s strange behaviour when the two returned to the group.
“And where exactly did you two disappear to?”
Feeling the need to cover for their uncle, L!MC responded with a smooth practiced shrug. “Went off to try and steal something. Don’t worry, he didn’t manage to nab anything. Don’t bother with punishment, either. The state I found him in was punishment enough.”
When L!MC would make a fool out of Mammon to get him out of a punishment, he’d usually scowl at MC and agree with the story, but that time, he only nodded.
“Yeah...”
Not very convinced, Lucifer kept a much closer eye on Mammon for the rest of the tour.
L!MC, A!MC, and M!MC had made plans to meet up with Luke later, but L!MC had forgotten their DDD at the parliament building, so they had to quickly turn back and grab it.
Their DDD was placed on the front desk, evidently some kind soul found it and placed it there for the owner to find. How nice of them.
As L!MC turned to leave, they paused. What exactly scared Mammon so much? They took one step back, then another, and another, and soon they were rushing down the nearly empty hallways.
They reached the door, which was closed, but the lock had remnants of magic being used to open it. L!MC snorted and twisted the doorknob. Of course Mammon would find the first locked door and assume there was treasure inside.
L!MC swung open the door, only to find a completely pitch black room, they had to blink a few times to see if they were seeing things right, a completely dark room... in the Celestial Realm of all places? This couldn’t have been what freaked Mammon out so much, sure he was a little afraid of the dark, but when the dark freaked him out it didn’t make him go completely wooden. If anything it made him louder.
Demons could see in the dark no problem, but even L!MC was having some difficulty. They felt around for a light switch and flicked it on. The room was... completely empty save for a crystal ball in the centre. Ignoring any and all red flags, L!MC walked over and tapped the crystal ball, it’s milky surface remained the same. Sure... this whole thing was kind of creepy but there was nothing to be that afraid of-
L!MC felt their stomach drop as gravity seemed to abandon them and they felt themselves fly upwards after a massive ball of light enveloped them. When they felt their feet touch the ground, they blinked a few times as their vision returned to them. Their breath hitched in their throat as they looked at what stood in front of them.
On a pedestal, encased in glass, was a small pile of shining gold feathers. MC didn’t dare breathe as they stepped closer to view them. They were so completely gorgeous... every slight movement made them twinkle and sparkle, L!MC could only imagine what they might have looked like attached to a pair of wings.
L!MC reached their hand out to touch the glass, completely mesmerized by the beauty of the feathers, they called out to them to hold them, to take them, return them to where they belonged...
The half demon felt their conscious get ripped from their body the moment their fingertips touched the glass.
The angel loved his wings, the whole world knew it. They sparkled and glimmered in the light of the person he held in the highest regard. They made a good pair, the two of them.
In a world where the angel could not keep too many material possessions, he took pride in caring for his wings, they were his most prized possessions, after all. Every time he took to the sky he basked in the admiring glances the other angels gave him. They were truly perfect, even the fact that he was a rampant troublemaker couldn’t stop people from staring in awe at his wings.
As a young angel when they first grew in, he lamented at their upkeep, but as he grew, he learned to love this part of himself. These were his wings. His brothers and sister often compared his to the eldest, he’d always tease that he may have only had two wings, they were still better than all six of the eldest’s. The eldest brother would always scoff and shake his head, a fond smile on his face.
He is glad.
One strike to the base of his skull was all it took. One hit from someone he once called a friend sent him falling from the heavens after the eldest.
He is glad that he was unconscious when his most prized possessions burned.
L!MC snapped their hand back and nearly let out a scream. They shook their head frantically as they stepped back, knocking their elbow into the crystal ball. They felt themselves lurch upwards again.
This time, they were placed in front of a broken bow. The bow itself was silver, intricate gold designs were etched in its surface. Such a beautiful creation should have never seen battle...
Refusing to be tempted by the object, L!MC felt themselves get thrown towards the glass anyway, their palm slammed against the display as their conscious abandoned them for the second time.
He was jealous.
It’s a sin to envy one’s neighbour, but the angel did so anyway.
His brothers and sisters welcomed him home from the war with open arms. Hugs and conversations were exchanged, funny anecdotes and laughter were clear to hear from blocks away. The angel felt loved.
There was no more war to fight. The war with the demons had ended in a stalemate. The army of heaven no longer needed a general.
The angel felt useless.
A burden on the Celestial Realm. That’s what he thought he was. His siblings all had their duties, they did their jobs with a smile, but he had no job to do. No battles to fight in.
He envied their ability to feel needed. Maybe that’s why his elder brothers gave him the bow.
The bow itself was the perfect weapon, but it was never meant to be brought into battle. Each gold design told the story of a battle the angel had emerged victorious from, the battles that the army of heaven wouldn’t have won without him.
The bow not only told the tales of his greatest victories, it told the stories of his time with his siblings. The times he took care of them, listened to them ramble aimlessly about the things they loved and enjoyed. The bow told the stories of how his siblings enjoyed listening to him talk about what he loved dearly.
The angel cherished that bow more than anything else he owned. He put it on a higher pedestal than any of his militaristic achievements. He loved it dearly.
Such a perfect bow should have never seen battle.
One slash broke the bow, the next slash severed one of his wings. 
He fell like the rest of his siblings. His other wing was damaged beyond repair. And the perfect weapon that should have never seen battle...
The bow remains here. It remains here with the fallen angel’s sense of self worth.
Completely unable to hide their grief, L!MC snatched their hand back and suppressed a sob. These feelings were not only their own. They wanted to leave.
Slumping against the crystal ball, a familiar sense of weightlessness carried them to the next room.
The next room, L!MC almost pitched over and vomited at the sight. Wings...
A pair of the most beautiful and colourful wings they had ever seen. They looked like butterfly wings, but no human world butterfly could compare to the wings that stood before L!MC.
Though, there was something marring the beauty of the wings, the base of the wings where one would think they would connect to the angel blessed enough to have been born with, were torn and shredded. The injuries seemed almost recent as the wings sat perfectly preserved, the blood caking the edges seemed to glimmer slightly in the light.
“Don’t make me... don’t make me...” L!MC whispered. No one was there to hear their pleas as their fingers brushed the glass.
The Jewel of the Heavens was vain.
This was not an unusual thing to note, every living thing in all three realms celebrated and adored him for his beauty. It was only natural that he become at least slightly vain.
From his birth to the present day, all he had to do was bat his eyelashes and plead and everyone would fall under his spell. He was an adorable little troublemaker, beloved by all the Celestial Realm.
His wings came in later than the others, he longed to take to the sky like those he called siblings. When his wings appeared, so perfect and beautiful, he soared through the sky like the rest of his family.
They compared in beauty to the second and first born’s wings, but it truly couldn’t be fairly judged. His wings were different, they were unique. It certainly didn’t stop the the friendly jabs and competition the fifth and second born took part in.
It didn’t matter. Everyone adored him and his beautiful, perfect wings.
The wings that allowed him to help teach his younger siblings to fly as well, the wings that allowed him to monitor the humans and their affairs, the wings that allowed him to retain his fitting moniker as jewel of the heavens...
He did not have the luxury of falling with his wings like the eldest. We count it as a blessing that they were severed without damage right here in the Celestial Realm.
Now their beauty can remain without the sin they were attached to marring their perfection.
L!MC didn’t have the energy to weep like their body begged them to do. This wasn’t fair... they shouldn’t have come...
The crystal ball was not finished with them, it sent them onto the next room.
Jewelry. That was what was proudly placed on display in front of them. L!MC didn’t have the energy to fight against the pull of the item as their hand brushed the glass.
He loved his family.
The entire realm knew that. That’s why he guarded the gates so fiercely. He was going to protect his family, no matter what.
The Celestial Realm admired his loyalty. But his loyalty was not to the realm or to our father, but to those he deemed his true family.
The gold that adorned him was meant to symbolize his future as an angel. He would have gone far. A seraphim, maybe even an archangel one day.
He wore the gold with a sense of pride, the gifts he had been given for his love for his family. Even if they didn’t adorn him with all the love they could, he’d protect them all the same.
He loved them dearly.
The angel’s folly came from loving his family and not the realm.
That is why the gold burned his skin. That is why the scars remain today.
The gold burned so painfully he had to stop to tear them off of him. That is the only reason we didn’t lose more people to his rampage, he stopped to tear off the gifts the Celestial Realm had given him.
This is a good thing.
One whose loyalty does not lie with us does not deserve our gifts.
Slumping in front of the display, L!MC got a better look at the jewelry. It was bent in some places. They tiredly chuckled as the tears pricked at their eyes despite themselves.
It seemed the angel didn’t remove them carefully enough.
The next room, was odd. A stuffed doll stared back at them, it didn’t seem to be any particular animal, or a humanoid figure for that matter. Four limbs made of grey fabric, a blank face, and nothing interesting.
L!MC was less disturbed, but their hand moved to the glass anyway.
The doll was something he had found while breaking the rules.
The angel broke the rules flippantly, like most children did. The problem was it was never corrected. His older brothers doted on him and his twin, and it rotted him to the core.
One wouldn’t think that, he was sweet, he was curious, and he was clever. Curiosity is what led him to the human world to find the doll.
He lived for these quick little visits, he loved humans as much as he loved his fellow angels, he brought his dear siblings down to visit as much as possible. His brothers were not as taken with the humans as he was, but his sister loved them just as much.
The doll was the perfect souvenir. The youngest brother loved to rest, but he never shirked his duties. No matter how tired he was, he worked diligently. The doll was his partner in rest.
It truly was a perfect souvenir from a trip that never should have happened.
A doll should not be taken into battle, so it wasn’t. The battle was not won. So the youngest’s doll remains here.
Similar to the doll, the youngest should not have been taken into battle. He was not built for fighting. That is why he fell. His brothers doted on him, which is why his twin took the hits meant for him.
This doll remains here as a warning. Angels are not humans, an angel forgetting that fact leads to despair.
Silent tears rolled down L!MC’s cheeks. They wanted to go home...
They wished for no more rooms. No one heard their wish.
A sword. A dazzling sword with a diamond studded hilt and a wickedly sharp point was what awaited L!MC in the next room. This was a sword anyone would be proud to wield. L!MC’s breath hitched in their throat.
This sword was calling to them. It begged them to take it, it was their’s after all. L!MC felt their own magic flare up in response.
It was their sword.
Their hand touched the glass.
It was their’s... it had to be!
The Morning Star was the most perfect and beautiful of all the angels. He commanded the angels alongside his counterpart.
The sword he carried with him complimented his armour perfectly, and the armour his counterpart wore complimented him as well.
They truly were a perfect pair.
The two were raised together, they learned together, fought together, so it was only fitting that the two be gifted matching swords.
They were the pinnacle of what angels should be. The pair of them watched over the Celestial Realm with pride.
The swords should never have been used against each other.
Sparks flew as the swords clashed against each other, the sounds of the pair fighting was alien to the ears of all the battling angels. The Morning Star was losing.
He may have been losing, but he was a prideful being, and brings of pride did not yield to defeat.
He had been disarmed, the blades of his own sword rested near his neck as he looked up at his opponent.
The pair should not be fighting.
The Morning Star refused to yield. The Morning Star refused to grovel for the forgiveness of the realm. The Morning Star was prepared to die.
He didn’t. The one he had started the war for slammed into his opponent, knocking the sword away from him and levelling her own sword at the Morning Star’s adversary.
She demanded that he not lay a hand her brother. He did not submit to her command. They fought.
The angel would have helped. He would have gotten up to fight as well, but with no weapon and too drained to use magic, what could he do?
His sister’s battle took her farther and farther away, he needed to get to her, he needed to help her. He needed to protect her.
His sister’s opponent fell to the ground. She held the Morning Star’s sword in her hand. He felt a twinge of pride upon seeing her wield it with such ferocity.
The sword was not meant to be wielded by her.
He was just too far away. Too far away to protect her from the arrows that pierced her wings.
She was the first to fall.
He could not let her fall alone. He would protect her.
He would protect her like a brother should.
L!MC knew he couldn’t protect her. Not after she crashed through all three barriers that separated the realms from each other.
They had heard the story once and never wanted to hear it again. The story of their father’s greatest failure.
The half demon giggled as their tears spilled from their eyes. Their earlier daydreams of being an angel were ridiculous... they never would have existed.
No proper angel would ever be with a human. No proper angel would have a half human child.
They would never be an angel, and they didn’t want to be.
And the Celestial Realm didn’t want them to be either.
The crystal ball released them, they were back in the room where they started. A golden feather rested in their palm.
They checked their DDD. Only a minute had passed.
They silently walked out of the room.
L!MC forewent spending time with their friends. They found Mammon alone on a balcony, he rested his elbow on the railing and held his head in his hand. The wind lightly ruffled his hair. He seemed calmer than he did that morning.
He turned to look at L!MC, a smile on his face. “Hey kiddo, why aren’t ya with the others?”
His smile vanished when he saw L!MC’s expression. “Oh kid... tell me ya didn’t-”
L!MC let out a wail and ran into his arms, burying their head in their chest as they sobbed.
“I should have listened...” MC whispered. “I should have listened...”
Mammon said nothing, he only wrapped his arms around them.
L!MC collected themselves, and wiped their tears away. They held out the feather. “This... this is yours... isn’t it?”
Tears welled in Mammon’s eyes as he delicately took the feather. He smiled softly as the tears rolled down his face.
“Y-yeah... it is...” Mammon whispered. “Y-ya should have seen em’ L!MC... they were amazin’...”
“I’m sure they were.” L!MC nodded trying to hold back another wave of tears.
The Celestial Realm was perfect.
L!MC, Mammon, and everyone in the three realms knew that. And perfection had no place for beings like them.

headcanon: “what your first kiss with the SVU boys looks like”
these got a little... out of hand. hence the “read more.” i guess it’s just my way of saying happy thanksgiving.
gender neutral reader. created in conjunction with @hurricanejjareau.
rafael barba -
it’s a couple of dates in, and you’re on cloud nine. being with rafael barba is as easy as breathing.
after all, the tension has come and gone, at this point. you’ve seen the uptight rafael barba, the one that pushes and pushes the squad to do more, do better, do what he needs. you’ve seen the crazy rafael barba, the one that takes a belt and loops it around his neck because he knows he’ll get the win. you’ve seen the distraught rafael barba, the one that squeezes the back of squadroom chairs because the pieces just don’t line up.
but so has everyone else. so has amanda, and liv, and nick, and fin. they know that rafael barba. that rafael barba is a little snide, a little sharp around the edges. everyone gets the wit, the charm, the little smiles.
but little does the squad know that this rafael barba... is all for you.
no one else gets this. no one else gets the rafael barba with an open button-down collar and blazer. no one else gets the dinner and a walk to pass the time. no one else gets the little smiles across the table, the gentle feeling of his hand in yours, or the tug as he loops your elbows together and settles on a destination that you’ll find together.
no one else gets that grin - the way it softens his face, makes his eyes a little half-lidded.
it’s safe to say you’re falling for him. and safe to say that by the time the second date is over, you think he’s falling for you, too.
you’re close enough to your place that a few stories and rounds of laughter has you walking up the steps, rummaging around for keys that are invariably at the bottom of your bag. you keep glancing up, which kind of hurts the hunt, but you don’t mind because each time you see him. that little smirk, the settle of his body against your doorframe. you almost wish he had a tie, so you could press your fingers against, smooth it down his front. just an excuse to touch him a little more.
“same time next week?” he asks, and it’s as easy as breathing, as smiling, as laughing with rafael barba to give an answer.
“i wouldn’t mind sooner,” you say, and when that brings out his smirk you can’t help your little laugh. “if we both can swing it, of course.”
“of course,” rafael says, and he’s pushing himself upright, leaning forward, and kissing you. the only hint was a glance to your lips, and you’re taking it, hand on his shoulder, curling a little around his neck...
oh.
oh, he’s kissing you.
it’s just as easy. it’s just as simple, it’s just as perfect. it’s like breathing, the way it comes out, and when he pulls back he looks just as shocked as you. blinks, like he wasn’t expecting to end the night on such a note.
“was - was that all right?” he asks. you can see his mind start to race.
you’re sure to quiet it with a grin. a nod. a “yes, that was perfect.”
and if he lets you, you’ll add another kiss.
sonny carisi -
where are you?
it’s the text you send for the third time, your foot tapping eagerly in the gallery. the jury’s back, after all. the jury’s finally fucking back, and sonny should be here. it’s your case, after all, weeks of work all for this.
barba turns around, raises a brow at you. asking the same question you are. but there’s no response, and you eventually sigh, shrugging your shoulders.
barba nods. turns back to judge barth, who settles into her seat. who looks to the two counselors, who both let her know.
they’re ready.
your phone hasn’t buzzed. and it doesn’t. not as you squirm, williams staring at you from his seat at the defense bench like you’re a meal.
but that smirk is gone once he turns to the judge. that smirk is gone as he stands, lifts himself up to face them. it’s gone as judge barth turns to the jury and smiles, genial, polite.
“has the jury reached a verdict?”
“we have, your honor.”
“proceed.”
the forewoman lifts the paper to her face. slides her glasses on, clears her throat. your hand is gripping the pew in front of you, and your knuckles are white.
“on the first, second, and third charges of rape in the first degree, we find the defendant, luke j. williams, guilty.”
your heart leaps. you see the way his face falls, even from the side, and the relief that fills you is almost crushing. you want to collapse, with the exhaustion, with the exhilaration. and then your phone buzzes.
im coming up the steps right now i swear to god
and you can’t stop yourself. you’re pushing past liv and amanda, pushing out the courtroom doors. your grin is unmatched as you sprint through the halls, shoes pounding against the marbled floors.
the outside is a downpour. you barely notice. you’re searching, hunting, and when you see him it’s because you can see the shine of his hair from rain, the gel.
god, sonny carisi.
he sees you next, like he was searching, hoping, praying you were there. and when you push into the downpour, out from under the overhang, the rain is but the background as you slam into his open arms.
“we did it?” he asks, over the sound of water against the streets, the slide of taxis through puddles. “we actually fuckin’ did it?” the exhaustion for you is eyes half-closed as he pulls you against his chest, while for him his words blend together in a mix of Staten Island and too little sleep.
“we did it,” you gasp out, and when you pull back it’s to place a hand on either side of his face. “we did it.”
and you kiss him.
you kiss him.
oh, god, he kisses you back.
nick amaro -
how fucking dare he. nick fucking amaro.
your hands clench into fists at your sides, the sides that ache after the hits you took just an hour earlier. your partner is glaring at you, eyes alight with frustration, and you can’t help the way your jaw clenches.
fucking gorgeous nick amaro.
if you had a choice you wouldn’t be in love with him. because nick amaro himself would tell you not to be. but you can’t help the way you stumble into caring for him, into feeling for him, into truly desperately wanting him.
“what the hell was that?” was the first thing he’d asked you, and you hadn’t had an answer for him. not one that’d make sense. after all, partners are supposed to protect each other, but it’s that desperation that had thrown you into him to take the hit, to get the bullet in your vest.
“i saved your life, and this is how you thank me?” you’d shot back. “you gonna give me a lecture in front of the whole damn squad room?”
and cragen had agreed. told you to sort it out, and so nick had rolled his shoulders, gritted his teeth, and the two of you had moved to the locker room to have it out.
and now you’re standing in front of him, watching him go at you for doing something so incredibly stupid —
“stop being a damn martyr, nick!” you snap. “say thank you and we can just move on!”
“i don’t want you getting hurt for me! i don’t deserve that, don’t you get it? you don’t deserve that!”
“i think i’ll be the fucking judge of what i do or don’t deserve! i think i’ll be the one who makes the call about which stubborn stupid detective i get a bruise for!”
“so you’re gonna get yourself killed? for nothing?” his nostrils are flaring, and he lifts a hand to run it through his hair, to turn away and then back to you, close, nose to fucking nose. “for me? no, i won’t let you.”
“i can handle it,” you mutter. he’s close enough you don’t have to yell, close enough that it makes your voice a little weak.
“you almost didn’t,” he pushes, and this time your hand reaches out to poke him in the chest. your fingertip digs into his skin a little, right above his heart.
“but i did. and i’d do it again. however many times it takes, i’d do it again.”
“how many times it takes to do what?”
there’s a beat. he looks at you and maybe, just maybe, he sees you. sees you. “what?” he asks, and you swallow.
when your eyes meet his, they’re shining, just a little. “you know damn well what, nick. you fucking know—“
it’s a collision, your lips. it’s nothing dainty, it’s barely even breathing. it’s an unstoppable force against another force of his own, and when your hands lift to his hair it’s to grip and never let go.
mike dodds -
he’s your sergeant, you tell yourself. you remind yourself, you almost have to. he’s your superior, he gives you orders, he can’t be the one you want to...
anyway.
so you move on. you try to. you try to ignore the way he smiles at you, the way that he grins when the case goes well. the furrow of his brow, the slightest purse of his lips when he’s frustrated. he came to the squad a stranger, someone you can’t trust, and he’s here now like a friend. sergeant michael dodds. the son of william dodds was supposed to come and be the voice of reason, after all, a way to keep an eye on the manhattan special victims unit. but you just know him as mike.
as “mike, stop hogging all the creamer.” as “mike, i swear to god you better not lose my favorite pen.” as “mike, we’ll get him, we’ll get him.”
and you can’t ignore it, not really. not when looks get purposeful across the room, not when you find the two of you leaning into each other. touching, brushing, smiling, watching, waiting.
and you care about him. you really fucking do.
it’s a win that gets you in the end. emotions are high, and the day ends on a high note, too. you’re packing up, and mike sees you. reaches out to you, gestures to the elevator as his duffel goes over his shoulder.
“can i walk you out, detective?” he’s smiling. you smile, too. it’s easy, being with mike, and you can’t help but laugh a little at the formality. your laugh makes his smile a grin, and he shrugs. “finishing out the work day.”
“sure, sarge. i wouldn’t mind the company.”
it’s snowing, but the walk is... easy. it’s bundled up, and the two of you end up leaning against each other. shoulder to shoulder, his head leaned toward you as your laughter echoes down the sidewalk. walking out becomes walking home, and there’s nothing that either of you want to stop.
it’s snowing. snow in mike’s hair. in mike’s eyelashes. on the curve of his cheekbones. and you don’t even notice the two of you have stopped walking until his hand reaches for the crook of your elbow.
“i don’t want this walk to end,” he admits, and you look up at him with a blink. “i don’t want time with you to ever end.”
your laugh is shocked out of you. because home is still so far, and honestly, you don’t want to ever make it.
“so do something about it, mike.”
he has to bend down, and you’re pushing up. it’s sudden, but not quite a surprise. it’s a kiss with the streetlights on you, with the warmth of his breath on your nose after. and when he grins this time, you’re matching it.
peter stone -
amanda is a meddler. sonny carisi is a meddler. odafin tutuola and olivia benson are all meddlers, and you can’t believe them.
or, actually, you can. which is so much worse.
adjusting to peter stone was, in fact, an adjustment. in more ways than one. warming up to him took time, took a lot of moments where you think about the fact that he could be a lot worse.
and what makes it even more difficult is you want to hate him. you want it to be easy to ignore him. to not think about him. but you can’t. you can’t, not when he looks like that.
and amanda picks up on it, dammit. she sees the way you can barely look him in the eye, and sends you to his office anyway. and she lets you invite him out to forlini’s, and she lets you sit across from him at the table, and she nudges your leg as the two of you end up talking all night.
“you’re an enabler,” you sigh at her, when peter leaves, citing a work obligation in the morning. and she just smiles, tipping back her glass.
so you don’t know what you can really expect from the lot of them. not.. something like this. not texting you to meet them at forlini’s and then ditching the both of you. you and peter, standing at the door, looking in and seeing nary a squad member in sight.
“looks like we’ve been duped,” peter says, and you turn to look at him with a weary gaze. it says something that he can grin right now, can look at you and twist his lips up in that signature way of his. all-knowing, all-teasing. and that smirk settles in your gut, makes your own peek out.
“leave it to amanda, i suppose,” you reply. “and i was really looking forward to a drink.”
you peek back in. and then you hear peter’s voice behind you, his phone up to his ear.
“yeah, you guys got a table for two?”
he’s a smooth-talker, that’s for sure. especially when it’s just the two of you across an appetizer, the two of you with glasses of wine too big for your bank account. he makes you laugh, snort a little, and you manage to finagle a blush onto those cheeks of his. when the night is over, the two of you end up walking and talking, prolonging the evening until it can barely be called evening anymore.
it’s a park that does it. the two of you stepping over crunching leaves that makes you stop, stare.
“was this a date, peter stone?”
and his smile is sly when he stops himself, turns to you and bites his lower lip.
“might’ve been. is that okay?”
you think back on the evening. on the way that he’s looking at you right now. the way he has been all night.
“yeah, i’d say so.”
with a step towards you he grins. reaches for your hand and takes it. “how about this?”
“that’s all right, too.”
and when his other hand comes up to cup your cheek, the way the night is going is more than okay with you.
“and this?” he asks one final time, and your breath of a yes is against his lips, pulling him close so your grin presses into the way he kisses you.

The Point of No Return - Part 6/???, Diavolo x MC x Lucifer
Read Parts 1-5 here!
—
“You needn’t worry about her, Lucifer.” Diavolo insisted, “MC will always be safe while she is in my company.”
“Yes, my Lord.” Lucifer nodded.
Although that wasn’t actually what he was concerned about.
—
Satisfied with Lucifer’s response, Diavolo nodded before smiling once again.
“Well if that concludes our conversation, I’ll go and seek out MC if she’s free.” He stated, walking toward the door.
Lucifer opened his mouth to speak but stopped himself. Instead, he frowned as he watched Diavolo leave the room. Pinching the bridge of his nose between his fingers, he muttered to himself as he turned back around toward his desk.
Worry filled his mind as he stared at his workload. The only thing that seemed capable of making Lucifer relax was MC and he could feel her slipping into the grasps of Diavolo.
As he took a seat behind his desk, Lucifer’s eyes fell on the blanket on the armchair that MC had been tucked under only mere hours ago. He wondered whether he should have stayed with her rather than go to his own room.
But just as quickly as the thought entered his mind, it soon vanished again. Shaking his head, Lucifer’s focus returned to his work as he rid himself of such pathetic thoughts.
How could it be that he’d grown so protective over MC?
Meanwhile, striding down the hallways, Diavolo had a cheery grin on his face as he made his way through the house. As he approached the stair case, his large hand gripped the bannister before ascending them.
Making his way toward MC’s bedroom, he could hear her voice as he neared it. And as he appeared in the doorway, happiness filled him when his eyes fell on the human.
Sat on her bed with Asmodeus, he and MC were gossiping to each other when they noticed the colossal prince nearby. MC was busy telling the demon all about her day at the palace when Asmodeus quickly shushed her; perhaps not very subtly.
Turning around from her seat on the bed, MC raised her eyebrows after seeing Diavolo stood behind her.
“My Lord.” She breathed, “is everything okay?”
Asmodeus watched the pair of them eagerly. As soon as Diavolo had arrived that morning, he sprinted to MC’s room to tell her. Ever since finding out the human had been invited to the Prince’s palace alone, Asmodeus has been very keen to find out what was going on.
“Yes, there’s no need to look so sheepish.” Diavolo chuckled, entering the room. “I came to see how Lucifer was getting on.”
“Ah!” MC nodded with an awkward smile.
Diavolo had never come to her room alone before and with Asmo close by grinning like the Cheshire Cat, MC was lost for words.
“I expect you’re wondering why I’ve come to see you.” Diavolo chuckled, as though he could read MC’s mind, “I know we agreed for you to arrive at the palace this afternoon but I thought perhaps now that I’m here, you’d like to come with me now? Providing you’re not already occupied of course.”
He had a smile on his face as he made his offer to MC. She reciprocated the expression, surprised by him.
“Of course, my Lord.” She nodded.
“Excellent.” He grinned, “I’ll be waiting in the entranceway.”
The room was silent as Diavolo left. It wasn’t until his footsteps could no longer be heard that Asmo grabbed MC by the shoulders and turned her around.
“Right you can’t beat around the bush any longer, MC!” He insisted, “Why does Diavolo keep inviting you to the palace alone?!”
MC laughed at how enthusiastic he was and desperate to find out the truth.
“He likes to watch me play.” She admitted quietly.
“Play with what? His dick?” Asmo furrowed his eyebrows.
“No!” MC playfully shoved him on the shoulder, “it’s nothing like that, As. He found out from Lucifer that I play the piano and asked me if I’d perform at his jubilee. He invites me over to the palace so that I can practice.”
“Since when do you play an instrument?” He scrunched his face.
“Since when did you start asking me so many questions?” MC laughed as she got up.
Walking across the room, she grabbed her bag from a nearby chair while Asmo remained strewn across her bed.
“I’ll see you later.” She spoke as she hovered in the doorway.
“Let me know if he plays with your keys, won’t you?” Asmo asked with a sly grin on his face.
Rolling her eyes, MC walked away from the door. “It’s not like that!” She repeated from within the hallway.
Once she reached the staircase, her eyes fell on Diavolo who was stood at the bottom. He had his arms folded as he stared at one of the portraits on the wall; observing the demon within it.
“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting, my Lord.” MC apologised as she quickly descended the steps.
Hearing her voice caused him to swiftly turn on his heel.
“Nonsense!” He beamed.
—
As the pair entered the palace, MC prepared herself to walk in the direction of the room with the piano in. Beginning to take off her jacket, Diavolo quickly stopped her.
“Here.” He spoke, assisting her with the sleeve.
MC blushed at his gesture, unable to believe the fact that Prince was the one helping her. “Is Barbatos not here?” She asked sheepishly as he walked toward the cloakroom to discard her outerwear.
“I’m sure he’s here somewhere.” Diavolo chuckled.
Returning to MC’s side, he smiled warmly at her; causing the human to feel even more nervous than before.
“Now MC, I have a confession for you.” He started, immediately worrying her.
“Is everything okay, my Lord?” She questioned quickly.
“Yes, there’s no need to panic.” He assured before pausing.
Diavolo had a content look on his face as he momentarily just focused on MC.
“Then what might be wrong?” She asked quietly.
“As much as I adore your talents I was wondering if today you’d like to take a break from playing for me.” He pondered, “tell me, MC, do you like flowers?”
“Flowers?” She questioned completely baffled, with a small smile appearing on her lips.
“Yes!” Diavolo grinned, amused by her confusion, “I’ve just had Barbatos touch up the palace gardens and wondered if you’d like to see them?”
MC’s heart completely eased having just thought Diavolo was going to drop a bombshell on her. She couldn’t help but smile at the goofy grin on the Prince’s face as he anticipated her answer.
Her skin grew warm as she met eyes with Diavolo.
“You worried me, my Lord.” She chuckled, “but yes, I’d love to see the gardens.”
“Excellent!” He beamed, “follow me.”
Walking through the palace, MC remained a few steps behind as she followed Diavolo. Her eyes never left him as she pondered over what was happening.
Surely the Prince should have other matters that need attending to rather than showing one of the exchange students around the gardens? Do Simeon, Solomon and Luke also get the same treatment?
Nevertheless, MC couldn’t help herself as she realised she enjoyed being in Diavolo’s company. And the thought that he didn’t only want her in the palace to play the piano for him made her heart flutter. She was beginning to see a much more genuine side to him and she looked forward to discovering more about the Prince.
“Here we are.” He spoke as they approached a colossal, golden framed door covered in windows. Turning the handle, Diavolo opened it and gestured for MC to pass.
“Thank you.” She breathed as she stepped outside.
She’d never seen the palace gardens before and it was everything she’d imagined and more. Diavolo could see the amazement in her eyes and felt a sense of satisfaction from it.
“Well, MC, you are my guest so please tell me: what would you like to see first?” He asked.
MC bit her lip as she thought to herself. She could already see masses of impressive topiary across the vast space in front of them. But, thinking back to the human realm, she turned her head to Diavolo.
“Do you have roses?” She asked.
“Roses?” He repeated, surprised. Usually when anybody was shown the gardens, they immediately expected to see the bush maze or vineyard, “yes, I have plenty of them.” He smiled.
Walking down the marble steps, the stones at the bottom crunched as Diavolo stepped foot on the path. Glancing over his shoulder, he held a hand out to MC as she carefully walked down behind him; trying to avoid slipping on the wet patches on each step.
As she looked up and saw Diavolo’s extended arm, her eyebrows raised.
“Not to sound rude but you look like a deer on ice.” He joked, “Allow me to help you.”
MC’s face immediately went red at Diavolo’s comment before she sheepishly lifted her hand and placed it in his large one. He gripped her gently as he steadied her body. With his support, MC made it to the stone path. The slippery steps were the least of her worries after the way she felt her heart thud at Diavolo’s contact.
“Right this way.” He guided as he let go of the human’s hand to direct her to the rose bushes.
The pair of them travelled around the side of the palace, with MC gawping at everything they passed. She’d seen gardens back in the human realm but none of them compared to Diavolo’s.
Remaining quiet as she absorbed her surroundings, MC let out a breath as they reached their destination.
“Roses: as requested.” Diavolo nodded with a grin.
MC smiled as her eyes fell on the rows and rows of various coloured flowers. They reminded her of home and how her Mother would always buy MC a bouquet every time she visited.
“They’re beautiful.” She gushed, stepping forward to appreciate them more.
Diavolo didn’t say anything as he watched MC admire her surroundings.
With his hands in his pockets, the Prince had rosey cheeks as his gaze never left the human’s wandering body.
“I’ve never seen anything like it!” MC spoke, causing him to laugh. “I wish my garden looked like this.”
Shaking his head, Diavolo chuckled to himself before his focus turned to one of the bushes that was beside him. Turning his body, he carefully pinched the stem of one of the white roses before plucking it from the rest. He made sure to pick the biggest, most beautiful one.
He slowly stepped forward to where MC was currently stood before holding out the flower to her. “Here.” He spoke, “one for you to take home seeing as you love them so much.”
MC turned her head and bit her lip. She admired the sight before her: Diavolo looking as handsome as ever with a rose between his fingers.
“Thank you, my Lord.” She smiled, accepting his gift. “You’ve been very kind to me.”
“It’s my job.” He returned the smile.
MC nodded sheepishly as her eyes fell on the rose he’d offered her. Meanwhile, Diavolo found himself staring at the human again.
Yes, he did enjoy her company. He enjoyed it very much so.
—
A/N: well Diavolo certainly showed his Princey charms in this chapter! I wonder if MC will tell anybody about the rose he gave her. After all, it’s purely a professional relationship they have, right??
