"visited 3 times"

my guy wtfffffff

now you may be thinking "okay so u subscribed to a multichapter fic, thats normal" no no. turns out i had 300 tabs open on my phone. so some of those counts are just refreshes.

others have significantly far fewer chapters than visits from me. I've just re-read them. so much. (or obsessively checked for updates even though im already subscribed why)

[audiovisualrecall]

Last night my mom was like okay tomorrow let's spend the day looking into the state health insurance stuff together and I was like okay great! I'll enroll in the work one and we will see if the state options are any good. I Can dream about doing The Artist Thing and not just continue to try to do the Normal (aka Neurotypical) Thing of a normal Job when my brain isn't good at that and it leads to embarrassing meltdowns and lots of stress for me.

And today.... she apparently asked dad to start working on it with me but I didn't come down for breakfast till 11 at which pt he started working on the easel he's actually decided to Make me for my birthday gift (crazy man! Looks at the ones in stores and looks at plans and decides he can do better and just goes and starts!), and he didn't mention anything to me before that, and she was at services this morning and then got some groceries and got home at like almost 1, had a snack? Lunch? And was like I'm gonna just sit down for a bit and then we can do that, but I started reading and just realized it's almost 2 so went to talk to her and she's napping. So. Idefk. I'm disappointed.

[agaypanic]

hi omg i got so excited when i saw you were doing egon spengler x reader aaaa! could you do egon and an personality opposite reader? he's all serious and deadpan while she's happy and upbeat (it'd be cool if she was the new girl in the team and had a crush on him). sort of like a "she fell first, he fell harder" situation?

The Sunlight On My Spores (Egon Spengler X Reader)

Masterlist

Request Something!

Summary: The new addition to the ghostbuster’s team is a ray of sunshine, and she has her sights on a scientist with an interest in fungi and the supernatural.

A/N: AHHHHH ive been waiting for an egon/ghostbuster request!!! since i havent written for egon before, i hope i get his character right lol also idk shit about science/paranormal jargon. and idk if eegs is spelled the way it should but it’s pronounced ee-gs, like egon but s instead of on

***

Joining the Ghostbusters definitely brought amusement and hecticness to your daily life. Although you handled more of the office work, you had seen your fair share of the paranormal action. Namely Slimer, who would get ahold of your lunch every now and then.

Ray was the first on the team that you had met, being the one to interview you. You liked to call him ‘Sun-Ray’ for his bright and positive personality.

You were pretty much hired on the spot, mainly because Janine had been complaining about the lack of extra help. But as long as you had a steady paycheck, you didn’t mind. Ray had immediately showed you around the firehouse. You met Peter and Winston on the main floor, the former being flirtatious and the latter being more polite in his welcoming. 

Then Ray took you up to the second floor, where the dining area, sleeping quarters, and lab were.

That’s where you met Egon Spengler. His tall frame was hunched over one of the lab’s many workbenches, doing some soldering work on a proton pack.

“Spengs!” Ray said with a wide grin, bringing you over to the scientist. The man in question set down the soldering iron and straightened up, adjusting his glasses as he turned around.

“What is it, Ray?” He asked in a somewhat monotone voice. He glanced at you, furrowing his brows slightly before looking back at his friend. “Who’s this?”

“This is Y/n, our new recruit!” Ray replied enthusiastically, patting you on the shoulder. 

“Ah, so you’ve filled the new receptionist position.” He said, giving you a once-over. “Janine will be happy to hear that.”

“It’s nice to meet you, Dr. Spengler.” You greeted with a smile. He outreached his hand, which you grasped firmly and gave a few shakes. His hand was slightly calloused, probably from his work, but still felt nice.

“Egon’s fine.”

“I’ve read a few of your papers on paranormal studies; I think the whole thing’s fascinating.” 

Some of his research papers weren’t the only thing of Egon’s you’ve seen. Ever since the Ghostbusters had gained some popularity, you couldn’t help but find him quite cute, spending an extra few seconds looking at him whenever a picture of the group was in your newspaper or on your television screen. 

And he was definitely even more handsome in person.

“Well then, you’ve definitely come to the right place.” Ray grinned, but your focus was still on the spectacled man before you.

“Thank you, that’s very flattering.” Although his voice was a bit monotonous, the response was genuine. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to check on my spore samples.”

“Spore samples?” You asked with curiosity.

“Yes. I collect spores, molds, and fungus.” 

“That sounds like fun!” Egon was a bit taken aback by your response. That wasn’t a reply he was used to hearing. And the fact that you sounded genuine and peppy was even more confusing to him. 

Ray, wanting to show you the rest of the firehouse, started to pull you away. You gave a quick goodbye to Egon before bounding down the stairs after Ray. Meanwhile, Egon needed to take a second to get his befuddled thoughts straight before he could tend to his samples.

***

You fell into a routine pretty quickly. The job was mainly making appointments and ensuring the boys were ready for a call, scheduled or unexpected. Occasionally, you filed paperwork or got coffee for everyone at odd hours in the day. But because the job was shared between you and Janine, you often had at least a little bit of free time.

“Got another one!” Peter announced as he stepped out of the Ecto-1 that had just rolled into the firehouse, holding up a slightly smoking trap. As Winston and Ray emerged from the car, you wondered if Peter had been wearing a poncho because he was the only one not covered at least halfway in goo. “He was a real slimy one, too.”

“I can tell.” You laughed as Ray and Winston peeled out of their uniforms with a grimace. 

“You’re back.” Egon’s voice almost made you jump; you hadn’t realized he had come down from the lab. He walked until he was standing next to you, holding his hand out towards the ghost trap. “I’ll take that, Peter. Ray, come with me, I want to discuss the containment facility with you.”

“What about it?” Ray asked as he closed his locker. Egon brushed past you to walk down to the basement, Ray close behind.

Not wanting to be caught staring at Egon’s leaving form, you whipped back around to the car. It seemed that Winston and Ray weren’t the only ones who got slimed. Poor Ecto.

“I think I’m gonna clean the car.” You thought aloud. “You guys don’t have any more calls until tomorrow.”

“Oh, you don’t have to do that, Y/n,” Winston said. 

“Well, someone’s gotta do it,” Peter interjected. “We gotta ride in style, after all.”

“Really, Winston, I don’t mind.” You insisted. “I don’t have anything else to do.”

“Suit yourself.” He said with a shrug.

Patting you on the shoulder, Winston went upstairs to take a shower. While Peter hung up his jumpsuit, you looked around in a storage closet for car washing supplies.

“Y/n?” You looked towards the sound of the voice, seeing Egon peeking out of the basement entrance.

“Yeah, Eegs?”

“You, uh-” He cleared his throat, cheeks going slightly pink, and you wondered why. “You can wear my jumpsuit, if you want. So your clothes don’t get dirty.”

You grinned, straightening up from your slightly bent position. Peter raised a brow at Egon, although you couldn’t see that because you were also looking at the tall man.

“Thanks, Egon!”

He nodded once before going back downstairs, Peter hot on his tail. 

“You sweet on her or something, Spengs?” He asked quietly, not wanting to gain your attention.

“Shut up, Venkman.”

***

Music blasted as you washed the soap suds of the Ecto-1. You were pretty sure everyone was out of the building, either getting lunch or just not wanting to be in the firehouse. You had taken Egon up on his offer, his jumpsuit fitting very baggy on you. You had to roll up the sleeves and pantlegs, but you didn’t mind. Especially when seeing the patch with his last name on your chest.

Over the music and your own voice singing along to Whitney Houston, you didn’t hear Egon walking down the stairs. When he reached the bottom step, he watched as you jumped around to the beat. 

“I need a man who’ll take the chance, on a love that burns hot enough to last.” You sprayed the last of the soap off the front of the car before turning the hose off. “So when the night falls, my lonely heart calls. Ohh- Oh!” You yelped in surprise as you turned around, seeing Egon, who was still looking at you. His eyes trailed up and down your form, but it was so quick that you didn’t notice. “Hey, Eegs! I thought you’d gone out with the others.” Even after turning down the radio to hear his response, you still danced a bit. Although, your movements were a bit more subdued.

“I was up in the lab, checking on my fungi.” 

“Oh! Was the music distracting you?” You asked, already sounding apologetic. “I can keep it down if you-”

“No!” Egon answered quickly, taking the both of you by surprise. He cleared his throat, adjusting his glasses. “No, the music’s fine. I wanted a snack and found that we were out of Twinkies, so I was going to get some.” 

You nodded in understanding, moving to put away the car cleaning supplies that you were no longer using. And then you noticed that Egon hadn’t made any move to leave. You looked over your shoulder, seeing that he was standing in the same spot with eyes darting around the room, and turned back around to face him. You tilted your head with a questioning look.

“Would you, ahem, would you like to come with me?” He seemed a bit shy to ask, and it made you smile brightly. “Wouldn’t want to leave you here all alone and all.”

“Sure!” You answered enthusiastically. “Lemme just put all this away.” 

Without asking, Egon helped you gather everything and put it in the storage closet. You unrolled the limbs of Egon’s uniform, and he couldn’t help but admire you in his attire, despite how much the fabric consumed you. It was hung back up in his locker with care before you grabbed your purse from your desk and skipped over to him.

“Ready?” You nodded, and the two of you walked out of the firehouse. Without thinking, you looped your arm through his. But before you could pull away and apologize for not asking, he was already pulling you along the sidewalk, the tiniest hint of a smile on his serious face.

[tired-fandom-ndn]

your post on the extended abernant family and will readings is making me want more on the abernant family as a whole not just adaine, aelwyn, and the parent’s whose names i cant spell if i tried

just adaine and aelwyn having an extended stay in fallinel because word spreads amongst the family that the two nieces/how ever many great grandkids have returned home after so many years

and they just have a small (actually quite large) and impromptu family reunion

where the sisters tell their tales of solace and in return they get a general info dump of their family members they havent seen since they were quite small

and oisin is getting a shovel talk in the corner by their dragon born cousins and after that they start binding over dragon things like their hoards and etc. while the elves catch up

[context]

YES YES YOU GET ME ANON THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT

They get a letter from a great great aunt just complaining about how they were in Fallinel and didn't even visit their family except for their useless father??? The fact that they were in PRISON is not relevant, their aunt would've posted bail for them if she'd known! Anyway the whole family is getting together for a reunion and they HAVE to come, obviously, grandma's been asking about them for AGES and don't they want to see everyone and meet their new baby cousins??

Adaine and Aelwyn aren't given the chance to argue, they're just told a time and place (their grandma's castle, the same one she'll eventually leave to Adaine) and invited to bring any friends/partners/children (their family does not understand how old they are). Adaine drags Oisin with and maybe the Bad Kids if she can convince them; maybe even Ivy if she and Aelwyn are a thing. They have to have a powerpoint presentation for everyone going with, covering all the most important people and explaining to Oisin why exactly there's a giant fucking dragon skeleton so that he's not caught off guard or made to feel threatened.

There are. So many fucking elves. And half-elves and silver dragonborns and a scattering of other races from marriages. But just A LOT of elves with very long names who are all speaking different dialects of Elvish and still seem to understand each other somehow?? Adaine and Aelwyn are both MOBBED by family members they haven't seen since they left Fallinel (or even earlier, I could see their parents isolating them from the family) and even by family members they've never met; there's an uncle who left to become a forest hermit and that reunion is the first time anyone's seen or heard from him in 300 years.

They get people picking at their hair and complaining about how much fashion has changed (that cousin still wears their hair in styles that were popular 1,000 years ago), older family bragging about being related to the Elven Oracle, teen cousins wondering why they weren't sent to Kei Lumennura too, their grandma praising them for being so lovely and intelligent and good and how on earth did her useless grandchild (I can't decide if I like Angwyn or Arianwen being the Abernant more) produce such wonderful children, and lots of baby cousins getting shoved into their arms. One of their uncles asks why Adaine didn't just talk directly to their cousin in the Court of Stars about being paid and she's like what fucking cousin?????? They get passed around the reunion for hours and spend what feels like every possible moment of the days (and weeks?) following telling every single family member stories about their adventures and life in Solace; their little cousins play games about their adventures, pretending to defeat the Nightmare King and slay Kalvaxus.

Meanwhile YES, Oisin has absolutely been cornered by a dozen or so silver dragonborns (maybe with a scattering of other colors) to interrogate and threaten him, which would be a lot more effective if they weren't speaking a mix of a Fallinel dialect of draconic that Oisin can only understand every other word of and a variety of dialects of Elvish (which Oisin can barely speak) while Oisin's Solesian dialect of Common is difficult and confusing for the other dragonborns. They eventually figure out a system of communication though and Oisin happily hangs out with them (and away from Adaine's more intimidating family members) until he sees Adaine holding one of her baby cousins, a tiny silver hatchling snoozing in her arms, and he needs to be next to her IMMEDIATELY.

Disney’s Comphet Episode

girl meets world's legacy will most likely be its total flop as a sequel to boy meets world, as well as the worst autism rep ever lol but I'll personally always remember it for how much it FUMBLED THE BAG because it introduced a stupid love triangle.

why were there so many shows in the late 'aughts dedicated to RUINING their shows with pointless ship wars? star vs the forces of evil, danny phantom, and girl meets world are just off the top of my head.

we have these two perfect best friend characters. surprisingly perfect friendship. okay, more like, veering on homoromantic.

(via @forbescaroline)

and then you know what they do with it? They insert the MOST WHITE BREAD ass love interest ever in the form of Lucas.

his defining characteristic is that he's a dreamy goodboy, and there's nothing wrong with that except that he's EXTREMELY boring compared to the oddballs of the rest of the cast, like Farkle or Maya or Riley.

The one thing that subsidizes his bore factor is that all his love triangle ship drama fuels conflict in the show.

he's the straight man--ha, get it? kys

he's dreamy enough to have these perfect friends in conflict over him.

and it kind of ruins the fun of the show.

like, i don't want to see Riley and Maya fight. and they don't even want to fight either. so they're just sighing sadly at each other, meanwhile im over here WHY WOULD YOU EVEN WANT TO DATE LUCAS??

it's giving "she was a girl, he was a boy, can I make it anymore obvious"

like i appreciate a show that demonstrates that girls in competition over a guy DO NOT need to be catty or mean (from what I can remember), but like, this should have been a 1 episode plot AT MOST GOD

they expand on the plot in the most bizarre ways possible too. like i havent watched this show in years, but i still remember this shit.

The premise of the show is that Riley falls into Lucas's lap on a bus in ep 1, so they're basically an end game couple from the beginning. But they have to introduce a shitty love triangle.

So they then have an episode where Maya "acts" as Riley for a day, and while she's acting as Riley, she realizes that Riley doesn't love Lucas and most likely sees him as a brother. which, first of all, is the craziest shit ive ever heard, and second of all

COULD HAVE BEEN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL scene about comphet EVER in a disney kids show.

the DRAMA. the PROJECTION. "she's confused" "feelings you don't understand"

the contrast between what Riley THINKS she feels for Lucas and what Maya feels for Riley. Riley ASKING MAYA "how do I feel, then, maya?" and MAYA's "just tell me what to say" !!! It's the "Good Luck, Babe" of it all!!!!!!!!

it astounds me that this exists in the show! i remembered nothing else about the show EXCEPT for this scene and the terrible autism PSA farkle episode lol.

they use this to fan maya x lucas flames and some drama about maya becoming riley in the last season, which I have zero clue about because all that exists to me is that one crystal clear moment of comphet.

so yeah, while I don't care for sabrina carpenter's music, im extremely happy that she covered chappell roan's "Good Luck, Babe" because it led to this amazing edit that compiles all these moments lol

what a moment. everything, it all has led up to this 67 views edit.

last thing I gotta say, I feel like the drama of "are you becoming me" would've ATE as drama, especially in a sapphic context. like some jennifer's body type shit. instead, it's poorly executed, one-sided, and does harm to both of their characters, from what I've read. BUT LIKE, there's no way it was one-sided. The envy/self-projection thing nor the love!! THEY HAD TO HAVE BEEN RECIPROCAL oh my god i can't Disney was SO CLOSE to greatness WHYYYYYYYYYYY

[irrealisms]

hi! i just saw an old post of yours regarding a very indepth s4 youtube playlist and i'm intrigued! i know the basic stuff since i watched some streams around that time but i've been meaning to finally sit and watch s4 from beginning to end. would you be so kind as to drop a link? thank you :]

gonna assume you mean lifesteal (i also have a dsmp s4 playlist haha. i love Making Playlists. love to Curate) and i've actually got a few lifesteal playlists! well. sort of. i have like One in-depth playlist and then i've got Other People's Playlists

so the first thing i recommend which has every* lifesteal s4 edited video (no** VODs) is this playlist by @aroaceacacia -- it's how i got into lifesteal to begin with and i cannot recommend it highly enough. when you finish, keep an eye on zam's youtube channel, i believe he is the only one still editing his s4 & his finale should be coming out soon (a year late) lmaoooo * it is actually missing one video, but it's near the end + it DOES the behind the scenes for that video so it's easy to add in ** technically it's got one (1) 2-hour cut from a Subz VOD which is more VOD-like and less of a Highly Edited Short Video but p much all the rest of the 285 videos are more highly-edited official-yt-channel VideosTM, and even the Subz VOD is a cut from a 24-hour stream rather than the full thing.

unfortunately i don't know of any curated VOD playlists or overviews that cover the beginning of the season, by me or by anyone else--I might work on this at some point but rn unfortunately i haven't actually watched much early s4 :( although if you want, send me a follow-up ask and i'll do my best at a "major events" playlist, mixing edited videos (esp early-season where i havent Watched the VODs) with particularly important VODs for the stuff i Have seen? this would b p easy for me to make i just havent bc i didn't know if there would b interest. ive also been working on a timeline google doc covering all of s4 that includes both VODs and edited videos so, again, lmk if you're interested in that!

the second thing i recommend is this google doc by @myrmica , which starts covering things in detail in december 2022 and has super detailed notes for a BUNCH of VODs. absolutely invaluable resource. my primary recommendation if you want to watch vods from mid to late s4 is to just read this doc and add all the vods that look interesting to your personal playlist.

in terms of in-depth playlists i have, the main one i have is an eclipse federation playlist! it's got a couple vods or cut-down videos of pre-eclipse-fed for some context but mostly it covers eclipse federation's journeys from their formation to the end of the server. i skipped some streams that were just grinding or destroying end portals or similar but if you want those also you can go through the myrmica google doc. NOTE: this ONLY covers eclipse federation!!! and it covers them in pretty close detail!!!! things that get left out of this include stuff like most of the preparations for pangi & zam's god-off, 3ht's trap war, a lot of poopies shenanigans, the team awesome breakup, and of course everything that happened in the Several Months before eclipse federation formed.... basically anything that wasn't relevant to eclipse federation's journey. meanwhile there are multiple 4-hour VODs that are just zam thinking about his relationship problems and nothing rly happens. i honestly would not recommend this unless you are specifically looking for more detail on eclipse federation specifically lol. also i wasn't sure how to handle "there are 2-3 streams of the same events with different povs that have some nonoverlap and some overlap" so...sometimes i include both povs and sometimes i dont. it's a judgement call & i highly recommend going thru the myrmica google doc and making your own playlist--all the vods in this playlist are also on there, eclipse federation didn't Form until mid season 4 so all eclipse-federation-relevant streams are covered

also i've linked this before but ive got a more medium-length eclipse fed playlist that mixes VODs & edited videos so check that out if you want

and of course where would any of us be without the archivist VOD spreadsheet. not super useful if youre looking for Curated Playlists but i need to shout out archivists forever & ever

i've also got much less in-depth playlists of Just Edited Videos for stuff like s4 highlights, covering specific teams/storylines, etc but since you said you were interested in in-depth playlists im not going to link all those unless you ask, this post is already long enough as it is haha. im also maintaining a s5 edited videos playlist if youre interested in that, and ive got links to playlists of s1-3! so just ask if you want any of those

huge apologies if this was overwhelming! u activated my Autism Trap Card (i love playlist curation). & pls pls feel free to send another ask/message/whatever if you have any questions or are curious abt anything else or if you want anything else (i love playlist curation)

Friends to Lovers Tournament: Round 1, Side A, Match 15

propaganda under the cut!

Soriku:

Ultimate friends to lovers. They've been best friends since childhood but as they start to grow up, those feelings change into a more romantic nature but neither handles this well. Riku in particular has a whole villain arc about it bc his insecurities about the situation get the better of him, meanwhile Sora isn't self aware enough to recognize his feelings are romantic in nature but he spends all of his time desperately trying to get Riku back so they can be together again. Ultimately even after they come together, their love continues to be a main driving force of the narrative and it's so palpable

Scarlet/Chase/Brook:

It all started with Chase and Scarlet knowing each other, and becoming friends. THEN, sudden ✨rival✨? Except not at all lmao

Brook pretty much didnt care about Scarlet at all, he just didnt really wanted to feel bad about which sinners he choose, pretty much. Which was why Scarlet and Chase started teaming up at first too.

So Chase, as any clever person thought "hey, then what if *you team with us too?*", and Brook basically went "good idea :3" and joined. Like, no joke, his boss told him "KILL THE BLONDIE" and Brook went "Nah". (Please someone add it as propaganda I love that scene)

ANYWAYS, THEYRE ALL FRIENDS RIGHT? SO HOW ABOUT THEIR DYNAMICS? The answer is: I love them <3

Ok, we all know about Chase and Scarlet right? Its pretty obvious with those ones, for those who read the comic, BUT HEAR ME OUT, MY FELLOW COMRADES ✨Brook too✨

They all live under the same roof, and are pretty much always together? Its 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘰.

I know we all make the joke about Brook third wheeling but DID YOU ALL SEE HOW MUCH HE WANTS THOSE TWO TO BE HAPPY.

And Chase and Scarlet care about Brook too :( <3

Literally, we see Chase caring about Scarlet and Brook searching for sinners, even when Scarlet disappeared for a while and Chase was depressed af. Brook and Chase stayed together. And Brook felt so bad for Chase he almost fucks around and finds out??? Just to get Scarlet back??? THAT WAS SO CUTE.

AND LATER. THE JUDAH SITUATION. WHEN SCARLET FOUGHT HER TRAUMA TO GET BROOK. And how she consoled Brook because he thought they didnt care about him :(

Even after The Chase Situation, when Scarlet and Brook stayed together as a team, and how Scarlet THOUGHT OF LEAVING BROOK BECAUSE HE SAID HE WAS HAPPY (staying in a place) AND SHE THOUGHT HE DESERVES IT.

This trio is going to kill me they love each other so much.

AND HEY, I KNOW SOMEONE IN THE NOTES IS GOING TO START "but brook and scarlet have a brother-sister bond, and brook does not have any Feeling™ towards chase". HEADCANONS COUNT. And although its true Chase and Brook havent really shown any other feeling that is not friendship towards each other, I can still ship Brook and Scarlet. You all just dont because Brook cares towards Chase and Scarlet as The Priority, and because of that does not try any move romantic move with Scarlet (????). BUT WHY CHOOSE. LET THEM BE A LITTLE CUTE POLYCULE. THEY CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER SO MUCH, WHAT ELSE DO WE NEED.

[defiantdreemurrs]

idk if i have the mental energy to go that deep into it this morning but like

i kinda fairly regularly see vriska serket homestuck and asuka langley soryu evangelion compared as “basically the same character” or how vriska is “SUCH an asuka” or vice versa and

they kinda really arent

they both share a surface level similarity of “girl who is fiery and assertive and has a mountain of trauma who picks on a boy she has complicated feelings for” but thats kinda reductive for both their characters

vriska never particularly cares about spotlight or attention. these are not important to her. they have no connection to her trauma. she *does* care about getting to be the big hero, but its not because she wants the attention. hell by the end of her arc she explicitly does not care about glory and is perfectly willing to let (vriska) take all the credit for finding the juju.

vriskas whole deal is just wanting to be a hero. because everypony around her treated her like a bad person. and she never wanted to be a bad person. the things she does in act 5 are very clearly intended to set things in motion that were *already going to happen* so she can insert herself in and be the hero. she wasnt trying to get all her friends killed, she didnt wanna kill anypony, she very explicitly just wanted to be the hero. not for the glory, not for the attention, but for herself.

(im still waking up and i havent read homestuck in a while so whenever my sister wakes up shes the real vriska expert between us so ill let her correct me if i missed anything)

meanwhile.

asuka langley soryu is ALL about the spotlight. ALL about the attention. she wants to be noticed. she wants to be looked at. she pilots eva because she knows shes good at it and thinks if she makes it her whole life then people will finally notice her. because her own trauma is rooted *deep* in it. rooted in being ignored. having her own mother, broken by the contact experiment, pay more attention to a literal doll than to her.

asukas central issue is not one of wanting to be a hero or to atone for anything she might have been made to feel guilty about by her peers. her issue is that she, very much like shinji, is unable to form meaningful emotional connections with others. and not for lack of trying! she spends the whole show throwing herself at a man twice her age who very understandably has zero interest in her because *she is 13 years old*. she also spends it throwing herself at a boy who hates himself soooooooo much hes unable to let his guard down to let her in.

shes not faultless, though. her attempts at forming a connection are halfhearted at best because her traumas have closed *her* off too. she cant find it in herself to be vulnerable with anypony and therefore nopony really feels capable of being vulnerable with her. and she doesnt really understand it.

vriska never really struggles with this though. despite how thoroughly fucked her childhood was she never really worried about being ignored or being *replaced* or treated like an inanimate object or even making emotional connections. shes pretty good at making connections and with her practical inability to lie she really has a hard time *not* being her authentic self.

unlike asuka who, despite being *mostly* her authentic self, still keeps her vulnerable sides hidden. she cant let her guard down. she cant be weak. she cant let anypony take advantage of her. one of the few times shinji sees how much she actually hurts, she manages to deflect by calling him a perv and saying she knew he was staring at her chest the whole time.

and likewise, asuka doesnt really get labeled by everypony around her as a bad person? nor is she concerned with being a hero or trying to show everypony that she isnt a bad person. is she the type to do the thing nopony else seems willing to do? yes, but shes more concerned with finally getting the attention she thinks she deserves (which, yes, she absolutely does deserve it, please just look at this girl please dont ignore her and starve her), and jumping at the chance to do the thing is what she thinks will get her that attention.

this post is starting to run out of steam so ill wrap it up.

so, no, asuka langley soryu is indeed very much *not* a vriska. and vriska serket is very much *not* an asuka. yes they have some similarities yes they are both loud brash girls who receive WAY WAY WAY TOO MUCH SHIT from their respective fanbases by people who dont even bother to engage properly with the source material. hell i would even say theyre similar *enough* that theyd be total besties. but theyre also very much different characters in different stories whose central arcs do not overlap.

one is about learning how to establish connections with others and nurture them into something beautiful. the other is about being the girl who does what nopony else ever seems willing to do, the girl who does the hard things that nopony else ever steps up for. i think both are brilliant characters and both mean so incredibly much to me.

oh also i have explicitly only ever been referring to asuka langley soryu in this post. there is a reason i spelled out her whole name. asuka shikinami is a completely different character who i would argue is *much* closer to vriska than asuka soryu is. but thats a post for another time. this post was primarily only in response to the people i see calling asuka soryu a vriska or calling vriska an asuka.

[surveillance-0011]

got any Sweezy x Harper hcs?

It’s a very gradual thing and there’s never really a confession it’s just like. Somewhere along the lines they make it official. If there were ever a confession it’d be a major snorplo moment where it’s like “we’ve legit been dating for years now”

they're both stoked tho

I would not be surprised if it's something that happens later in the timeline honestly. if we get swarper for realzies in canon im assuming it's not happening until like. probably later in the sequel. idk if the animated series would be another interquel with all the bounties we didn't see between the game and dlc or more of a retelling of the game orrr??? idk idk??? shrug?? so idk exactly to expect but who knows

maybe they'd only consider themselves together by the time everything w/ Gurgula is said and done and they can actually kind of. truly move the fuck on from everything that's gone down.

Sweezy is actually the more outwardly affectionate one. Also a lot more flirtatious. Likes to see Harper get all mushy and flustered. Harper is a bit on a stoic+awkward side and a little hesitant to get so close to her bc she’s still getting used to being close to people without them. Yknow. (COMIC SPOILERS KIND OF FOR THOSE WHO HAVENT READ IT YET SORGY) Dying getting their memory wiped turning out to be evil etc etc etc

Sweezy too to an extent. I think even though she is very like “hiii babe hugs and kisses love youuu” she is also a bit scared what the future holds and doesn’t want to let her guard down entirely just yet. She’s not very vulnerable and it does take a while for the two to have their more serious chats on what they are how they feel anything super deep etc etc

Though of course I say this relative to their personalities. Harper is pretty sweet and sweezy is still sweezy. Sweezy does still tease her and during tougher patches she can be, well, tough. Meanwhile Harper is usually looking on the bright side and whatnot.

I don’t think they argue much but there’s playful bickering and I’m sure sometimes the tension from bounty hunting boils over a lil ..

When they do fight they take some time to themselves then talk it out and usually get a little treat. There has been one (1) tearful apology. At least

I also do feel like they'd be the sort to be more lowkey about things anyway. sometimes Harper wishes she had an easier time showing her appreciation and love but in general there's not a lot of pressure to act a certain way or whatever

Sweezy fell first for sure. harper probably fell harder but i feel like she'd not pin it for what it is at first,, "wow im so glad sweezy is such a good friend :) idk why my heart is racing rn"

Harper was from a relatively well off family, cozily middle class. Sweezy was from a working class family. there have been some "no harper not everyone can go to a ski resort every winter vacation" moments but mainly harper wishes she still had it to spoil her girl. She likes giving gifts when she can for sure.

though for real she would give sweezy like a thousand cool rocks. she will find a way to give something nice.

Harper does like cuddling but sometimes the gems are a bit pointy. it takes them both a while to get comfy. But it can be their lil ritual

The two certainly have each other's back but neither is overprotective. They're both very capable and one need not try to shield them from the world or anything like that.

I need... antics. Past midnight shenanigans. Getting into trouble havin fun making memories. Please. Please.

sleepovers :3 yes technically atm that's just sleeping on the same shelf or whatever but :3 we can make it happen we can make it work...

Sweezy has a lot of romantic experiences. Many a shitty ex. Played into some of her worries but Harper is a breath of fresh air honestly.

Meanwhile Harper has very little experience and has probably only dipped her nonexistent toes (tip of handle? Barrel? Muzzle?) into the waters of dating with either 1-2 past partners or dates that have never gotten serious. She is very excited but also very nervous and wishes that the people she would have gone to for advice were all still around. And/or of sound mind and body. Yknow. Yknow who I’m talking about :) two or three people in mind here… :) :) :))) but cest la vie

Sweezy is bi and proud bay beeee!! Harper is sapphic and otherwise unlabeled,, bicurious mayhaps,, and a lil shy on the matter... girl pretty... what else is there to say...

Neither really wants to do anything too formal for dates they like doing fun stuff. The bounty hunter has to chaperone/drive/third wheel often NOT LIKE GATLIANS CANT MOVE AROUND IT'S JUST TRICKY 8 TIMES OUTTA 10 but they like to go places like the park arcade aquarium... stuff like that i think...

maybe they'd want to be married someday but either it'd be a small ceremony or getting officiated and then just throwing a reception party and/or and/or never getting technically married but remaining life partners

harper would be into getting married but it would take a while she would be very intimidated by the prospect. sweezy doesn't know if marriage is right for her in general, successful relationship or not.

random headcanons about House of Anubis in this PJO demigod world:

(fyi i havent read the kane chronicles so if i get some stuff wrong let me know without spoilers)

Nina’s been able to see life and death auras around people since she was little, it’s made her isolated over time

her mom and step-dad died when she was nine

it was a car accident in the middle of an earthquake… yeah could’ve been poseidon who knows

she went to live with her grandmother who had moved to england a few years prior

a satyr found her when she was 15

reminder that in this au monsters aren’t that common outside the us. the only reason a lot of them were around Rome and Greece was because that was their home turf, the original places

and yet monsters slowly started showing up again in the united kingdom for some reason

the last child of the big three in england was winston churchill

(we still dont know which big three)

nina’s invited to attend a special boarding school for people like her

her godly parent is still unknown atm but it’s okay, unlike their US counterparts they dont separate the students via godly parent during school time, that’s just a summer thing.

the houses are based on Egyptian gods because of some past magicians that wanted to make a sanctuary for any and all young heroes regardless of their patronage. this includes Egypt, Greek and Roman demigods, Norse ones too. all are welcomed. (again, i havent read TKC, im aware Carter and Sadie are magicians but idk if other characters are demigods via Egyptian gods)

the Egyptian vibe has stuck around because of the founding magicians who created it.

the houses the students live in arent separated by godly parent but rather by where they hail from.

so in the cause of Anubis House, it’s Greek demigods. Isis House also hosts Greeks.

Nina is put in Anubis because despite not knowing who her godly parent is, when tested she reads Ancient Greek like a pro

at the same time as her being put in this house, the sketchy adults who maintain the sanctuary and maintain the institution have removed Joy Mercer, a daughter of Nemesis for unknown reasons

yes i already have the twist planned out

meanwhile, Joy’s best friend Patricia Williamson, daughter of Ares is 100% sure this newcomer, an American of all things, has something to do with Joy’s disappearance and she won’t rest till she finds out.

in the mean time, Nina runs into an old lady, she talks about a great treasure hidden in the house and gifts her something that will be invaluable

a locket in the shape of the Eye of Horus, a symbol of protection, a warding against evil, but tells her not to open it unless she’s in danger

when a monster invades the school for the first time in decades, Nina discovers it’s more than just a necklace.

when she opens it for the time, it reveals:

(fyi yes i wanna change the purple stones for maroon eventually)

Had a mental image reading that fic from earlier of-

Kevin- pocketing some spending money he was just given and enjoying some free cocoa

Guzma- just gave the grunts with him some cash and cocoa to the grunts with him. Has a feeling that something is off but can't place it

The grunts that havent gotten their asses kicked yet by Kevin- introducing themselves to the new kid and showing him the group daps and the passwords

the grunts that have gotten their asses kicked by Kevin already- shrugging, guess he's with them now, they'll just schedule a rematch later

Plumeria- sighing b/c Guzma accidentally scooped up a punk that wasn't theirs again

Kwarrel- getting conflicting information on how worried he should be that his son got snapped up by the local gang

Kwarrel arriving in Po Town and looking around: Y'all live like this?

Okay so I accidentally deleted an entire post...

Kwarrel Ojua, 56, not-quite-fresh-from-prison, just wants to put his head down and have a mostly-quiet life (complete quiet in impossible with Kevin) and suddenly wondering how the fuck he ended up having to keep an eye on all these young people who clearly aren't managing as well as one would like on their own.

Kevin just, suddenly finding himself vaguely in a gang. Getting continuously annoyed as people act like he's heading down some horrible path meanwhile actively he's mostly just committing light vandalism, and he was gonna do that shit anyway. Also is very confused about how people act like Team Skull is a big problem. Just sitting there like 'a few years back we had some guys nearly encase a whole city in ice back in Unova and these guys are worried about petty theft and vandalism?'

Guzma just rolling with it. Quickly learns Kevin is not a grunt the first time he calls him that and nearly gets bit for it, immediately approves of his moxie.

Plumeria isn't paid enough, and really wishes she'd never learned there were more people as 'fuck you fight me' as Guzma. Will still kick your ass over the new idiot.

The grunts divided between 'oh, new brother, okay, great to have you' and 'don't think this'll get you out of fighting us (affectionate)'.

As with most shit I write, I can't say if, when, or how I'll continue it, but do know that there is 100% the intention that Kev and Kwarrel are more sympathetic towards Team Skull than other people. Between the way 'villain' teams are in other regions and their own histories? Not nearly so willing to just say 'nope, bad eggs who must Fall In Line', especially once they realize they're a bunch of people Alola failed trying to make a living and a point. Both are 'been there done that' to different degrees so...

[p3answer]

im thinking about how i left off my replay of tov in the middle and never came back to it and i hate having to continue games i havent touched in a long while so i usually just create a new save file but that would be counter productive with vesperia because the first half of the game is the part that i remember the most and with pinpoint precision meanwhile the second half is really foggy and well i dont like the battle system very much + im already in the middle of replaying octopath 2 so maybe ill pick up where i left off by watching a playthrough except im already scheduling my next 2 months and filling it with naruto rewatch and code geass rewatch so i dont have time to do that but i REALLY REALLY REALLY want to think about tales of vesperia right this INSTANT!!! so needless to say im in a lot of mental anguish. AND i just remembered my playthrough of tsukihime has ground to a halt but at least with vns im fine with picking them up after not having read them for a while but still thats even more on the table here. and higurashi on top of that. basically can you guys stop watching and reading and playing things and then talking about them for a bit i have to catch up

Clockwork heart pt10

Part 9 here

———

Urag: No.

Enthir: but ancano will still be around the collage for a few months yet!

Tolfdir: And we can’t approach him on this without risking him finding some excuse to have the collage closed down by the dominion. I swear Urag he will be safe in my hands.

Urag: He is safest here! He’ll just need to stay in the arcanum and under my supervision.

Onmund: *swallowing his fear of the old orc and stepping forward* you can’t just keep him cooped up! You know how much that’ll hurt him! Ancanos already proven he can get in here somehow without any of us figuring it out, all it’ll take is you turning your back and he’ll steal a lot more than just his book or a kiss. I-I’m not the best mage in the collage but I’ll keep him safe on this trip. The further away from ancano we can get him the better.

Tolfdir: and once he’s left you can approach Ancano with the arch mage about about this.

Enthir: I believe Onmund and J’zargo, if they saw Ancano shoving his tongue down our pearls throat there’s no telling what he’s willing to do next. With or without his consent.

Urag: But saarthal is full of Draugr, and gods know what could be in there havent any of you read the night of tears?! There’s something in there the snow elves were willing to die for! What if it’s dangerous?!

Enthir: right now it’s dangerous for him here.

Urag: … *sighs* you’re right…

Tolfdir: If it puts your mind at ease if I think it’s too dangerous for him I’ll make him stay behind in the camp with another student and some atronachs.

Urag: …You give me your word Tolfdir. My boy will come home alive and safe.

Tolfdir: I swear I will do my best to keep him safe.

Urag: … *sighs* okay… I’ll talk to him.

Enthir: *sighs* thank you. The faster we get him away from that creep the better. And speaking of which… *pulls a bunch of new locks out of his bag* Arch mage told me to upgrade your security.

*meanwhile in the midden not fair from the arcanum entrance, in a warm and hidden alcove tucked away from the frost and creatures crawling the collages undercroft*

Wyrm: *seated in Ancanos lap, timidly holding onto him, moaning softly into each kiss as their talk on the world outside of winterhold turns into a more intimate study session* mm- *pulls back gasping for air* I-I’m not allowed down here if I get caught-

Ancano: nobody will find us. *quiets him with another breath stealing kiss, his hands sliding around the dunmers dainty waist pulling him in closer until his chest is against his. Unable to stand the distance between them any further as his plan to merely manipulate the prince of the collage gives way to genuine desire, desire he’d like to think of as love, but in truth, it was merely lust*

Wyrm: *whines into the kiss, his hands sliding down his broad shoulders and to his hands, not fully understanding the intimacy of his situation but just knowing he’s not ready for it* mnn- n-no- *pulls away again and audibly gasps in surprise as ancano suddenly kisses at his neck before biting his ear* A-Ahh! A-Ancano that h-hurts! *immediately tears up, his body already hyper sensitive to any and all physical contact, even more so to pain*

Ancano: *let’s go hearing the crack in his voice* I wasn’t that rough, *lets go of his waist and gently places his hand on his cheek making him look at him* if you want to be dramatic and have another tantrum we can continue another time. I’m hurt that you’re being so unappreciative of my attention to you.

Wyrm: *sniffles and leans into his touch timidly, not wanting to be in trouble by being down here, but also not wanting anybody, even ancano to be upset with him* I’m s-sorry.

Ancano: *smiles and gently wipes away a tear with his thumb* shhh, it’s alright, I forgive you. *pulls his face closer to his* Perhaps I was too fast for you little prince… *pecks his lips softly* just one more is all I ask~

Wyrm: *timidly nods and let’s him pull him into another kiss, completely unaware of the very, very pissed off bosmer watching this unfold*

*a few hours later*

Wyrm: *walks into the arcanum, face flushed and whole body feeling strange*

Urag: *looks up from his desk hearing his son enter* Pup? Where have you been.

Wyrm: *jumps a little and timidly hugs his mechanical arm to his side* A-ancano had more questions for me. Wh-what I know about the college s-since I’ve lived here for so long… *looks down avoiding his gaze, not completely lying but also not telling the truth*

Enthir: *suddenly appears from behind the bookshelf* And making out in the midden was part of said questioning?

Wyrm: E-Enthir!?

Urag: the midden?! Making out?!

Wyrm: *caught red handed, immediately just breaks down into a trembling, crying mess* I-I can explain papa!

*a few hours and trying to keep Wyrm from fainting via hyperventilation later*

Urag: *sent Wyrm to bed after calming him down* how long has this been happening?… he knows he’s not allowed down there I-

Enthir: *labeling the new keys for the locks* I heard Wyrm crying when I went down to see how the hatch could be unlocked from inside the midden… he didn’t want to be down there.

Urag: *sighs* I failed to protect him… *looks at the gauntlets Wyrm retrieved from his room to explain why this happened* all over these…

Enthir: I’m sorry Urag, had I of known what that bastard was planning Id of never of sold them to him… *sighs* Wyrm can keep them, I’ll refund the asshole so he can’t take them from him.

Urag: no, I’ll put them in a safe for now and just tell him they went missing if he comes looking for them…

Enthir: I’ll inform the arch mage of this. It should give him some incentive to send him back to the dominion. *sets the keys down and puts the quill back in the ink pot*

Urag: tell Tolfdir I’ve made up my mind too please… I’ll make sure Wyrm is prepared for the exhibition… *looks down at the gauntlets, feeling and looking so crestfallen*

Enthir: … *gently places his hand on the old orcs shoulder* hey… it’s alright. Don’t blame yourself for this… He’ll be okay on the exhibition and by the time he comes home Ancano will be gone.

Urag: *sighs and nods patting his hand in gratitude for the comfort* thank you friend… I suppose I should go check on him and retire for the evening.

Enthir: *nods and starts packing up the tool kit, being careful to hide the shadow mark on the back of the leather case* I should head to bed as well, but you shouldn’t have to worry about any unwanted visitors again, the locks require either yours or Wyrms hands to open them with a code word plus those keys. *hands him the sheet of paper with the words of power for each lock*

Urag: thank you my friend, I’ll keep them secret.

Enthir: *nods and waves to him as he turns and leaves* take care friend, goodnight.

Urag: *nods and sighs* goodnight… *waits until he’s gone before locking all the doors and heading to his room to find Wyrm seated on his bed, still crying as he braids his hair before sleep* pup?…

Wyrm: *hiccups and looks up at him, whole body trembling and just looking so pitiful* I’m sorry papa… I thought I-I could handle it on my own…

Urag: …oh son… *walks over and sits down beside him, pulling him into his arms for a strong but gentle hug* I’m so sorry I made you feel like you couldn’t come to me with this… what he did wasn’t alright…

Wyrm: *sniffles and nuzzles his face into his fathers robes* I know, I’m s-sorry I lied.

Urag: *pats his hair gently and starts unfastening the harness for his arm* shhh, it’s okay, I’m not mad.

Wyrm: *shifts a little letting his father remove his prosthetic arm* y-you’re not?…

Urag: no pup, I… have some good news for you in fact…

Wyrm: *still trembling with the hiccups but slowly calming down* wh-what is it?…

Urag: I think you’re ready to go on your first journey from home… Tolfdir is headed to saarthal with the other students and asked my permission to let you go. Would you like that pup?

Wyrm: *eyes sparkling* R- *hiccups* really?? Y-you mean it!?

Urag: *nods and smiles seeing the excitement on his sons face, suddenly feeling all his pain and doubts just wash away* yes son, just promise me you’ll be careful and listen to Tolfdir.

Wyrm: *hugs him tighter* I will! I- *hiccups*

Urag: Need a glass of water. *chuckles*

*Meanwhile*

Enthir: *walking back to the dorms, eyes scanning the dark snow covered courtyard* … *casts detect life and looks around quietly before spotting the distinct outline of an Altmer, hiding in the shadows waiting for him* there you are… *walks behind a pillar as if heading down the undercover walkway before casting invisibility on himself, eyes never leaving the outline of the altmer, watching as they start moving towards his direction before halting as if questioning where he is* just a little closer… *draws his dagger and waits until the figure is in view to make out the thalmor robes* got you. *suddenly slams ancano into the wall, his knife to his chest being enough incentive to keep the high elf from fighting back*

Ancano: *grunts as he hits the wall before glaring down at the bosmer as he reappears before him* I should have known you’d be a thorn in my side.

Enthir: And I should have known to keep a closer eye on you than I had previously… *presses the dagger into his robes* The arch mage and Wyrms father are both aware of your actions now. For your sake, I suggest you leave him alone. Or you’ll be dealing with far worse than just a few atronachs.

Ancano: *inhales a little to pull away from the blade* he’s a grown mer who can make his own decisions.

Enthir: He’s barely reached maturity for a dunmer, he’s never experienced what youve put him through and he was too scared to say no, and even when he did, you didn’t stop. *digs the blade in enough to cut the fabric of his robes and his skin* You pressured him into this and you and I both know it.

Ancano: *hisses in pain, lightning crackling in his fingertips ready to attack if he goes further* He made a deal with me. I was merely taking what was owed to me.

Enthir: the deal was to talk. Not to assault him. *pulls the knife away and pushes him into the wall to emphasise the point* Here’s your money back for those gloves. *throws a bag of gold at him* Consider your ‘deal’ with him null and void. Or else. *glares back at him before walking into the dorms*

Ancano: *holds his chest, healing the wound as he watches the bosmer leave, before looking down at the bag of gold and feeling anger boil inside of him* oh Pearl… our deal is far from done…

*a few days later*

Wyrm: *dressed in his apprentice robes excitedly pulling on the backpack Urag prepared for him as the group gathers at the bridge* Yes I finished my breakfast papa.

Urag: I know but just incase you get hungry I packed snacks in with your lunch and if you get cold there’s a coat in there with your blanket. And did you put your book in the safe-

Wyrm: yes papa I put it in there with Mr wrench to keep it safe and you have the key in case.

Urag: *sighs with relief* good, okay. Oh and don’t forget-

Wyrm: I have my toolkit for my arm and my eyepatch in case I lose my eye.

Urag: *smiles and nods before hugging him* okay pup, please promise me you’ll stay out of danger…

Wyrm: *hugs him back, suddenly feeling a bit emotional and nervous about leaving home for the first time, even if it’s only for a week or so* I will papa, I promise.

Tolfdir: *walks over fixing his cloak* Don’t worry Urag, I promise your boy will be safe and sound in my company. It’s only a days journey to Saarthal, we’ll be home before you know it.

Urag: *let’s his son free from his embrace but holds onto his hand* Yes I know. *sighs and looks at Wyrm with worry heavy in his heart* don’t go running into danger, stay close to Tolfdir… come home safe.

Wyrm: *squeezes his hand and hugs him one more time* I will papa, I promise I will.

Urag: *hugs him back tearfully and finally let’s him go* good luck, pup…

Wyrm: *smiles and nods up at him before turning and running across the bridge, waving back at him as he sets off for his adventure*

*a long, cold journey later*

Wyrm: *looking around the interior of the excavation sight, taking down notes excitedly and admiring carvings on the walls* to think this was the original seat of the Atmorans when they first came to skyrim. I wonder if the important item that sparked the night of tears is still here.

J’zargo: this one hopes not, if it is there will surely be something terribly guarding it…

Wyrm: s-something terrible?

Onmund: oh yeah, my ancestors were known to fill their barrows with all sorts of traps. Poison darts, swinging axes, spiked doors.

J’zargo: and Draugr. Lots of them.

Wyrm: d-Draugr?

J’zargo: oh yes, and skeletons too.

Brelyna: I’m more afraid of the spiders, I’ve heard they get gigantic in ancient ruins.

Wyrm: th-they do??

Tolfdir: Will you three stop scaring him and start taking notes? *huffs before looking at Wyrm* just ignore them. This settlement was a city, I highly doubt they’d of turned it into a crypt.

Wyrm: *nods sheepishly* o-okay. *turns and continues exploring, taking down notes on architecture, materials etc. only to pause as he finds a strange black tool* huh? *picks it up curiously before spotting more on a table beside them, along with linen wraps and what he can only describe as a dried severed finger* Eww! *steps back from the table only for a spider web to snag in his hair making him burst into flames out of fright as he staggers into a wall, his flames unintentionally releasing a seal and opening it to reveal a hidden passage* h-huh?

Tolfdir: *hurries up having heard the commotion* Wyrm? Are you alr- *pauses seeing the tunnel open* … *walks over and helps him up* Onmund! J’zargo! Brelyna! Up here! Pearl discovered a new passage!

Onmund: *rushes into the room first* wow! First adventure from home and you’re already ahead of us!

Wyrm: I-it was an accident. I found someone’s finger and got spooked.

Tolfdir: a finger?… *looks over at the table and feels his blood turn cold seeing the appendage surrounded by embalming tools and wraps* …All of you stay close behind me as we proceed.

J’zargo: why? I thought this was a safe ruin?

Brelyna: is? Something wrong?

Tolfdir: we haven’t explored this path yet. For everyone’s safety I will need you to stick behind me… and have your wards at the ready. *walks down the passage slowly, magelight illuminating the tunnels only to give way to lit candles* that’s… odd.

Wyrm: the… candles are lit.

Tolfdir: *looks back at Brelyna and Onmund* Go find Arniel back at the entrance. Tell him what we’ve discovered and come find us up ahead.

Onmund: *nods* yes sir. *hurries off to go find the other professor*

Brelyna: but- Aw fine. *hurries after him

Tolfdir: *sighs* okay let’s proce- Wyrm?!

J’zargo: *already up agead* he went that wa-

*distant screaming*

Tolfdir: WHY DIDNT YOU STOP HIM YOU IDIOT! *hurries after the sound to find Wyrm trapped after the elf picked up an amulet from an alter* Oh dear what happened?

Wyrm: *in tears trying to put the amulet back to lower the bars* I-I picked it up to see wh-what it was made from and it trapped me in here and now I’m stuck! *sniffles as he tries not to panic*

Tolfdir: shhh it’s okay we can find a way to get you out of there-

J’zargo: J’zargo can melt the bars maybe?

Tolfdir: you are not casting flames when he is-

J’zargo: *suddenly blasts a torrent of flames at the bars, nearly hitting Wyrm in the process only to miss and strike the wall behind him, suddenly opening it up and lowering the bars in the process* Oh! See? J’zargo solved the pro- OW!

Toldfir: *slaps him over the head* You could have harmed our Pearl you idiot! *sighs and steps forward* no matter let’s proce- *suddenly freezes as time stops*

Wyrm: *blinks looking at his professor, then at J’zargo to see he’s frozen too* o-oh no what? What’s happening?? *looks around and suddenly feels dizzy, hearing a faint voice in his head he’s unable to make out, like someone attempting to speak to him only for something within him to block them out* I- what’s h-happening? *staggers forward thinking he’s heading for the exit to get help, only to stumble into room after room, leading him to a large chamber seemingly unaffected by the time freeze around him, and in the centre, a giant, floating orb* What… is… *suddenly feels his heart beating faster in his chest, the same pull he’d had towards the gauntlets and the hammer now drawing him towards it too* it’s… hurting… *walks down the steps towards it, the Draugr seated in the throne frozen in time, only him and the orb moving* The heart… yearns to be whole… it… wants… to be whole… *stares up at it as he comes to a stop, entranced and overpowered by an unseen source* Lorkhan, wants… his soul back… *reaches up for it as time resumes*

Tolfdir: *suddenly runs into the chamber in time to see Wyrm reaching for the orb* WYRM STOP- *staggers back guarding the students with his body as an ungodly blast rocks the earth and in a blinding flash of light the orb opens up, spiralling around rapidly as Wyrm floats in its core, his body glowing as he absorbs its power within him, his pained screams echoing through the chamber and halls as his mind and soul are ripped from his body*

Wyrm: *screaming in agony, unimaginable pain rocking him to his core as he sees the reality of his world, as he sees through the eyes of sotha sil upon striking the heart of lorkhan, and stares into the mind of the uncaring godhead, and denies him*

*Silence*

Wyrm: *body suddenly numb as the pain subsides, and he’s left floating as the shards of the orb halt in place around him*

“Forgive me little one… You were not meant to see what I have seen… but now there is no escaping the path before you… make him whole again…”

Wyrm: *lets out an ungodly and inhuman scream of pain, anger, fear and more as the shards of the orb all suddenly stab into him like glass, absorbing into his soul and being one after the other until hes one with it. Before lowering softly onto the ground, landing on his feet, body present, but mind elsewhere* …

Tolfdir: *hurries down and blasts the Draugr with a fireball killing it as it attempts to get up* Wyrm?! Wyrm talk to me! *hurries to the young elf and grabbing him by his shoulders, shaking him* Wyrm??

Wyrm: *red eye now white, and his Pearl one glowing softly. Quietly stares up at him as he suddenly returns to his body* I… *blinks making his eyes return to normal* I want… to go home now… *leans forward passing out*

*a few hours later*

Tolfdir: *sitting by the fire around their tents* gods what am I going to tell Urag?

Arniel: Hopefully nothing. He’s still breathing and I found no physical wounds on him.

Tolfdir: He certainly sounded like he was in pain!! He screamed so loudly it sounded like he was being murdered… we have to tell him what happened. He deserves to know.

Onmund: He keeps whispering about a heart and a mountain in his sleep…

J’zargo: *visibly shaken, his ears having heard the screaming the loudest* at least it is only sleep and not death… we will find a way to help him.

Tolfdir: *sighs* yes… we will… let’s all just, try to rest and think of how to move forward. *quietly pokes at the fire*

Everyone: *nods in agreement, all of them completely unaware of their beloved prince, sleepwalking off into the blizzard…*

An Apology and a Blessing (Reese Wilkerson X Male!Reader)

Masterlist

Request Something!

Summary: The next few weeks after the disaster dinner with Reese’s family, you and your boyfriend avoid his mom like the plague. You usually get out of sight before she can say anything to you, but one day she finally catches up.

A/N: this is a part 2 to his boyfriend so read that first if you havent yet. Tbh this was a lil hard to write bc lois doesnt really apologize often so i didnt know how to go about writing it lol

***

It had been a couple weeks since the awkward dinner at Reese’s house, and you and your boyfriend have been doing your best to avoid his mom. Reese went from disappointed in Lois’ reaction to the news of you dating, to pissed and irritated. You didn’t want to cause even more of a rift between the two, so you just decided to keep your distance from his mom. 

It’s not like Lois didn’t try to talk to you or Reese. After the first week, she’d try getting Reese’s attention in the morning, but he’d always say he had to get to school before running out the door. That’s how Lois knew she had messed up, because her son would rather go to school than hear her out.

And at dinner, when he wasn’t over at your house, he’d ice her out. Hal told Lois to just give it some time, and he’d come around, but Lois decided that enough time had passed.

“Reese!” 

The boy threw his magazine on the bed and got up. “Damn.” He sighed. You looked up at him from his desk, where you were doing homework. “Come on, let’s go.”

“Seriously?” You groaned but still closed your textbook and shoved everything into your backpack.

“Reese!” Lois’ voice was closer, making Reese quickly open the bedroom window. He gestured for you to go out first, but you froze when you got halfway through. “Not so fast.”

“Crap,” Reese muttered. The three of you were very still, all hesitant to make a move.

Lois sighed, dropping her purse onto the floor. “Sit down.” She sat on Malcolm and Dewey’s bed, waiting for you to do the same. You and Reese looked at each other, silently debating what to do. “I said, sit down!” You and Reese quickly scrambled to sit on his bed, facing his mom. She sighed. “Sorry for shouting, I just…”

The silence quickly grew awkward. You and Lois hadn’t really seen each other since she ran out during dinner, after Reese had revealed that you were dating. Meanwhile, Reese left whatever room he was in as soon as Lois was nearby. Even though he didn’t need or want her approval about anything, it still upset him that she just stormed out.

“I’m sorry.” It sounded like the words were building up inside of Lois but couldn’t find their way out until now.

Reese looked stunned, leaning forward with raised brows. “...what?���

“I said I’m sorry.”

“...what?”

“Oh my god, Reese, I’m apologizing,” Lois said, trying not to show her frustration with her son’s responses. “To both of you, for how I reacted about you two... Well, you know.”

“But you never apologize.”

“I apologize when I’m wrong.” Lois seemed uncomfortable, like she wasn’t used to this. Probably because she wasn’t. “And that night, your father made me realize I may have overreacted a bit to your guys’ news. So I wanted to apologize to you both and let you know that I’m okay with you dating.” Even though she sounded stilted, you felt she was being genuine.

You and Reese looked at each other, a bit shocked by Lois’ apology. “Okay.” You were glad that Reese was doing the talking for the both of you because, if you were being honest, you were a bit scared to talk to Lois. Even before the dinner fiasco, because one of the things Reese would always complain about was his mother and her behavior. “Cool. Um, I’m gonna go make a sandwich.”

Reese stood abruptly, quickly walking out of the room. You were a bit pissed that your boyfriend just left you with his mom, so you got up as well.

“I’m gonna go… Uhh, yeah.” You were almost out the door when Lois got up and called your name.

“Y/n?” You looked back, seeing her slowly approach you. “I just, um, I just wanted to say that I’m… glad, that Reese has you.”

“Oh.” You weren’t expecting that from her, but it was very sweet of her to say. “Thank you, Mrs. Wilkerson.”

“I was wondering if you’d want to stay over for dinner sometime? Think of it as a do-over.”

“I’d like that a lot.” You smiled. 

After that, Lois let you go to the kitchen while she went to her room. You found your boyfriend making a sandwich like he said he would.

Reese glanced up at you before slicing the sandwich in half. “What did she say to you?”

“Your mom was actually pretty nice.” You answered, accepting one of the sandwich halves he handed you. “She actually invited me to dinner. To make up for last time.”

“She’s up to something.” Reese decided, taking a bite of his food. “But as long as she’s being nice to you, I guess it’s okay.”

“Aw, how sweet.” You laughed, giving him a kiss before going back to your food.

Any headcanons on comic five and Luther being twins? Like without the constant trying to murder each other but like, if they had any twin closeness? Did Five follow Luther everywhere? Did Luther and Five both scare the crap out of Reginald because they had high ass IQs? Did Five share his brother’a love of space? (In the show, five even has space stuff on his bed!!)

I havent actually read the comics so I can't give you hcs on comic Five and Luther, at least not accurate ones, but I can give you twin show Five and Luther hcs

I think Five and Luther would start off having that twin closeness, finding more comfort in each other than any of their other siblings, but as they got older they starting getting more competitive as Luther grew into the role of being Number One and was completely obedient to his father while Five was resistant and spiteful, the two of them very often disagreeing when it came to matters surrounding the academy and their dad, however they still cared for each other and there would be moments they both would forget about their competition and would just sit with each other and talk at length, especially about space

Five was interested in space in the way he loved observing and learning about it from afar because he found it fascinating while Luther wanted to actually be an astronaut, to experience it, rather than learning all the mundane details

They shared a lot of what they owned too (with the exception of very specific or personal items)

I think in the comics they're supposed to be identical twins so building off of that Five would constantly take advantage of being confused with Luther in order to get away with specific things or pin the blame on Luther when he was too scared or just otherwise unwilling to take on any consequences that came from his actions

Meanwhile Luther very rarely used being a twin to his advantage, he was number one he didn't need to pretend to be anyone else, and he was an absolute stickler for rules and didn't want to do anything that may disappoint his dad

Anytime he did pretend to be Five it was to mess with his siblings, mainly as a result of boredom

Fire and blood chapter 4: Jealousy

OC X Aegon, oc x Aemond and slight oc x Jacaerys.

WARNINGS:

Aegon and Aemond and you havent slept together for a week. They have been very subtle about it in public life, and part of you just knows they dont care about you now they both have had you.

Tonight, you are invited for a feast thrown by the king to celebrate Lucerys as the future lord of the tides. The princes are seated close to you, within reach so you can hold proper conversations. The other side of the table is for Rhaenyra and her children.

You are here on invitation of Princess Helaena. She usually gets very overwhelmed and even sick during feasts like this and you know how much a good and kind friend will help her cope with this. It won’t be entirely enough, Helaena will still experience it as unpleasant but it would be even worse if you weren't here at all. She has no clue that her brothers fucked you. Well, two of them.

Your heart breaks for the poor sick king who just wanted a nice dinner with his family. You feel very out of place at this sacred moment. You feel unnatural and interrupting.

You enjoy your dinner quietly when chatting with Helaena over her favourite hobbies. Bugs, puppies, kittens and of course reading. You share some laughs and gossip a bit with her and recommend some forbidden books for her. She laughs at you.

A hand taps gently on your shoulder when the music plays. You expect Aemond or Aegon but Prince Jace looks at you with a Smug smile before whisking you away with him. The king smiles touched and you know it's too late to reject Jace now. His girl, Baela looks on like she has just been stabbing in her back.

You accept his hand happily and walk with him to an open spot away from the table. You begin the dance. You grin and jump up and down like he does as well. Aemond meanwhile eyes his brother and Aegon throws back his drink as the song continues, a peaceful melody that sounds to you like the last song of a bird.

Prince Jace and you twirl, your arms intertwined with one another. He gives you a charming smile and you grin, as the song reaches its beautiful heartbreaking bridge.  You see that the food keeps coming, so you interrupt the dance yourself and hurry back to your seat, taking in all the delicious food. Helaena mutters something to herself, but you can’t hear what.

You grab a bit of chicken and a few potatoes. Its an symphony of smells and colours on the table. Aegon sometimes picks up a piece of chicken to devour, but Aemond’s plate is empty. He just sits there, drinking. Aegon does the same and you give them both some hidden glares before starting conversation, something to bring them together. ‘So, Aegon. Are you happy that your nephew now is the Lord of the tides?’ You ask, smiling at a bright and proud Lucerys.

‘I couldn’t care less what my nephews are up to. As long as they keep from touching what is mine by right.’ He grabs the extravangt glass pitcher they putted on the table and fills his cup once more with wine. You know it’s not good for him, but you won’t act like his mother here. If he was alone with you in the libarary, you would’ve hit him with a book.

Luc gets a little confused by those words but you know what he means. He is talking about that dance. ‘How is Driftmark yours, Uncle? Are you Velayeron perhaps?’ He jokes lighthartedly. It falls very flat and you sip your wine uncomfortable.

Aegon scowls. You remember that face from when he had trouble with his lessons but this is something else entirely too. Something like a wolf being mad that his toy is being taken away. ‘You can keep your smelly seahorse shit throne. I am talking about something else entirely. I don’t expect someone of your natural origins to understand. I heard you lacked common sense-‘

‘Aegon,’ you hiss at him, when Lucerys tears up a bit. ‘Be nice. This is a family dinner. For your father, the king. Put up some apperances and act nice.’

‘You really think you can control us, hm Lady Beespring?’ Aemond growls.

You open your mouth to snap at him but change your mind moments later. Softly you add. ‘Someone has to.’

Aegon shoots daggers at you. You look to Aemond for support but he does the same. They only drink and are spectators to this feast. The king doesn’t care about his sons, you can very much tell. He speaks with Jace, with Luc, his daughter and his wife and friend. The others are left out completely and only drink, eat and become more and more resentful torwards their family.

You need catch some fresh air. You excuse yourself and get up and walk out of the room. The moment you have left the room you calm down instantly. Its much colder but much more peaceful outside. You walk to the nearest window and open it, letting the fresh air in.

A hand suddenly grabs your wrists and pins you against the wall next to the window, rather harshly. You stutter in fear and look at your attacker. You gulp. Aemond. He has a twisted smile on his thin lips and wets his lips with the edge of his tongue. ‘Lady Beepspring. How unbefitting of you to leave our little social gathering before it had properly ended.’

Relieved, you relax. 'Hello. We talked about you sneaking up on me.' You say. He softly touches your body, still with you pinned against the wall. 'Hm. We talked but you didnt listen or did you?' You are a bit confused and tilt your head. Aemond leans in and whispers something in your ear when sucking on your earlobe. ‘Punishment, remember?’

'What is that supposed to mean?' You croak out softly and try to escape Aemonds grip. He presses you further against the wall and grins. 'You danced with him.' He bites out and you huff when chuckling.

That stupid little dance? You let him do worse things to your body. 'Come now, dont tell me you are jealous of an stupid little dance. I humoured him, and the king. It was unbefitting to say no.' You say, and try to break free. He only pressures you more into the wall like he wants to push you through it, out of the castle.

‘You should've said no.’ He says. Your heart beats unregularly.

You could not have. You know it. He knows it. It would be inproper. 'I couldnt do that. He is to be the future king-‘ Aemond gets a annoyed look in his eyes and wants to say something but stops himself before he can.

This possessive behaviour has to stop before someone noticies, or you are both in trouble. 'You didnt court me. Neither did your brother.' You didn’t receive any pretty gifts or special treatment. Just two grinning silver haired madlads who grabbed you by your arms and claimed you as theirs.

He touches your face gently, softly and carefully. Touching you like one wrong move could shatter you into thousands pieces. His voice is deep and low and you feel something familiar happening to your body. 'No, we did fuck you. And you liked it very much. How about we skip this shitty party and have our own feast? With you as our very tasty meal?' you flush. He grins. ‘You still have much to learn and to experience. I’ll get Aegon notified and we can go to my room and teach you side by side. How does that sound?’ Very tempting, but you force yourself to be the bigger person.

'Aemond, please. it would break the kings heart. Stay for your father.' But you know he never would alone for his father. So you add, softly. 'Stay for me, please?'

-- It all goes well until a big pig is presented to Aemond. Luc laughs and Aemond becomes the killer.

You dont know what that is about but for reason, he snaps. And he snaps very hard like a branch in the woods being snapped in half. He raises his cup skyhigh and starts talking. ‘Final tribute. To the health of my nephews. Jace, luc, and joffery. Each of them handsome, wise…’ You hold your breath. He grins at you before continuing. ‘Strong.’

Hell breaks lose. - You sit on the bed, your mouth dry and your eyes focussed on the two still drinking men. You assume they would be drunk by now, but they are not. Maybe lightly affected, but mostly they are angry. After the feast, you were summoned to the library where they ordered you to come with them to Aemond’s room via a secret passagewy.

Aemond paces through the room. 'That was a disaster.' Aegon says casually before filling his wine cup. Again. Aemond nods. He agrees with his brother. 'They should have never returned here. They dont belong here. They should burn in Harrenhal like their father did.' That sounds like treason, to you. But you don’t say so. You let them be angry. They don’t know what they are saying.

The older prince gives you a caculuated glare as you slowly eat a piece of cutted apple from the little bowl of fruit they gave you. 'That bastard was looking funnily at her. If I see him look too much, what will we do about it?' He asks, his younger brother. You feel very confused feelings. Shame, because you are not supposed to like these darker sides. Fear, because you know they are not kidding or messing around. And eventually something confusing you can’t quite place yet.

He already has a plan. 'Make him blind.' Aemond suggests, making you nearly choke on your fruit. You put the bowl down and make yourself known again, as they have been ignoring you on purpose since they dragged you in and threw you on the bed.

That is too far. 'You dont need to blind-'

Aegon grabs a cherry from your bowl. 'Quiet.' He puts the cherry in your mouth, silencing you. ‘You still are in trouble. Defending the little bastards, dancing with them…’ You eat the cherry obediently but you are furious they dare to command you like this.

Aemond grins. 'Hm. Enough talking. We have company.’ he says.

Your feelings all over the place. 'Who do you want first tonight?' It's up to you this time. They won't flip a coin like last time. You don't like that bit of freedom they have granted you.

You huff at Aemond. 'Aegon. You clearly dont know how to behave. You don't deserve a reward.' You say with a sweet smile.

Aemond groans threatening when Aegon Laughs at you, happily. He is like a walking time bomb. His emotions are everywhere at once.

The one eyed prince glares at you. 'Hm. I'll remember that.' You feel something bad happen when he says that ominously and the reminder of your first time and how he would fuck you rough during your second time is very fresh in your memory.

‘Aegon, she is yours. Be sure to punish her for her misbehaviour tonight.’

Aegon runs a hand through his silver hairs before getting his shoes off. ‘Oh she will be.’ He grins darkly at you and you swallow.

Aegon climbs on the bed and you back away in instinct. Aemond struts to his desk and starts picking out a book to read when his brother roughly rips your dress open, exposing your breasts. He undresses himself very quickly, touching your breasts gently and running his fingers around your hardened nipples.

Aegon rips of your skirts as well and turns you on your back. You groan as he lifts you and puts you in a familiar kneeling position. 'She is wet.' He says after bending you and showing off your body and entering your insides with his finger.

'She always is, somehow. Our little naughty girl loves getting her cunt fucked.' Aemond comments reading but you sometimes see his good eye stare and look at you. He is pretending to not care about you but you know differently.

You groan. 'I can hear both of you. You will-' Aegon flattens his hand and pushes you torwards him before hitting you several times on your naked exposed ass. You shiver in confusion as pain and pleasure mix inside you.

'The only thing I want to hear from you is how sorry you are for your behaviour and that you'll never even consider doing this again.' He hisses darkly in your ear. You cower.

You are so confused. 'It was a dance. Why do you care?' Aegon forces you to lower your head and you feel him feel you up a bit before he roughly shoves his cock inside you and you groan in pain and whine softly at this rough treatment. You are wet so its easy and nice. It feels good and wrong at the same time but you let Aegon do this. You softly buck and let him have his way with. He fucks out his anger on you.

Aegon is nearing. You are too. You turn around and look at his stiff erection. 'We should teach her how to pleasure us with her mouth.' Aemonds eye twitches a bit. His voice dark and possessive.

Aegon ignores him, grabbing you by your legs and dragging you over to him. You get it once more on your knees much faster and rougher. You pant and close your eyes before Aegon comes inside you and lose it as well.

Aegon kisses your sweaty forehead and tells his brother that he can have you. Aemond slams the book shut and grins. He first does a small inspection of your body. 'Quite wet for us, aren't you?' He mocks you. The son of a bitch.

'Get on all fours.' You obey him. It's best to do so anyway. The sooner you have him inside you the sooner this miserable longing goes away.

'Hmm,' Aemond moans.' Such a tight little fit.'

'So wet too. My brother fucked you nicely but still that's not enough for you, is it?' You shake your head, feeling a blush creep on your cheeks. Aegon growls from across the room. 'Punish her for that. She is such a ungrateful girl.' You want to protest but you see Aegon grin at you. He is only joking.

Aemond however, is not. 'I agree. A punishment is certainly due. How do you wish we punish you, girl?' 'Shall I maybe fuck you? Or maybe you like to suck us both off. We could also try something else out.' You dont like the sound of something else.

'Fuck me,' you breath out. He grabs your hand and lets you rub him. It's been inside you but it's still so foreign and strange to you. 'She is such a scared little thing.' Aegon groans. 'I want her after this.' He says.

You freeze. Aemond uses that and pins you down before kissing you roughly on your mouth. You feel his tongue slip in and get a little bit of a reflect to puke. 'You just had her. It's my turn. I will make the girl scream and cry.' He vows and you whimper in fear.

He seems to like that. 'Present yourself for me. On your knees and spread them nicely.'

'Good.'

'Do you like it that we share you? Do you like having two men to fuck you bloody and to squirt in as much cum as that little cunt of yours can handle? Do you like getting stuffed and stuffed until you can't have it and eventually come when one of us is deeply rooted inside you?'

You nearly grunt. 'Yes what?' He demands.

You keep sighing. 'Yes, to all of that. Please...'

He laughs. 'You wont dance again. You wont even glance at other boys again. You are ours. Is that understood?' He trusts a bit deeper and harder. Your eyes roll in your head.

'Yes! Yes please I'm sorry.' You quickly blurt out.

He groans. 'Apolgise to my brother as well.'

You quickly mutter your apologies 'Aegon I'm sorry.' The fucking intensifies.

You cry out and come soon after. Aemond notices and roars when rolling up against you and fucking you deep. 'I didnt gave you permission for that.'

'Sorry,' you dont know why you apologise to him. You dont. Aemond chuckles warmly before taking you fast and steady. He comes and drops you with a groan after nearly having his way with you for a long and slow time.

'Let me see.' Aegon inspects you. He knows you need him. Deep and hard. Rough and fast. 'Stil wet. You want it two times tonight?' He asks, for your consent. Very unusual.

You nod, softly whispering. 'Yes, please. Very much.'

They both chuckle at that. 'Such a polite little girl when she needs to be. I will have her after this a second time as well.' Aemond pets your hair before backing away and letting Aegon have his fun with you again.

You are dirty, cum on your legs and on your entrance. You are wet and feel feverish and tired. Aegon laughs before climbing on top of you again. You and the princes have sex one more time before they finally decide it's been enough for you for today. They softly wash away the blood and the cum off your body and dress you in a night gown.

You are sore and tired. 'Good girl for fucking us. I want to hear one more time how sorry you are.' Aegon says strictly.

'Very much, my prince.' You answer politely.

'Let's grant her some rest. She must be tired.' Aemond interrupts your playing.

You are indeed. Exhausted. 'You will need to keep awake. The tea will soon come. Unless you want a child with one of us.' Aegon jokes.

You grin. 'They would be adorable.' Both of them share a brief horrified look. 'Yes. I suppose.' Aemond blurts out.

Aegon takes a cup of tea from a maid. 'Here. Drink.' He pushes the drink in your hands.

You are not a spare wife. You are just a object to fuck and to have fun with. 'Can I return to my rooms?' You ask, a bit saddened by their extreme reactions.

Aegon grins at you. 'No, you'll stay here.' He tells you. You dont like that. 'But these are Aemonds rooms-' you protest but the second prince already smirks. 'I dont mind sharing my bed.'

'What if someone comes looking for me?' You wonder. 'What if a servant saw us?' This will only end badly.

Aegon shrugs. 'I'll tell them to hang themselves.' He says casually.

You growl and throw one of Aemonds pillows to him. 'Aegon!' You scold.

He groans. 'What? You are better off with my brother when I take in the city. He might even let you in a nice bath so you can clean up properly. You should be fresh for us.' He wiggles his brows.

You groan and huff. After finishing the tea you enter the bathroom and make a bath. After it you return to Aemond. He is on his bed reading. Aegon is still gone. Subtly you take the book away and grin at him.

'We cant have sex now.' Aemond says, reading your bloody mind with his demon powers. What the hell?

You pout. 'Aren't you ready for it?' You rub him. 'Does your body hurt?'

He grabs you and flips you over his legs so you are on your back like a helpeless kitten. You Yelp, scared. He grins and smacks you again. 'No, you silly goose. I am beyond ready to fuck and to fuck you until you cant walk. But our agreement was that we fuck you when the other is present or we wont fuck at all.' He says and picks up the book again.

''You know; I quite like the way you order me around. I don't know what that is. I dont have it when we are not being intimate.' You softly confess when he runs his hand through your hairs.

He smiles at you. Sincere and gentle. 'It's good you like that. Me and Aegon are used to being obeyed. And you proved us that you serve us very loyally and richly.' He chuckles and you roll your eyes grinning as well.

He continues. 'I shall pass it to Aegon as well. He is careful and holding himself back. I can tell. But if you like getting it rough, getting scolded and punished well who are we to deny yourself and ourselves such pleasures?' Pleasures.

You think. 'Can I ask you something personal?'

He laughs. 'I think we are past that but go on.'

You take a deep breath. 'Do you think you could ever forgive and forget what happened to you? Your nephews-'

'No, I can't.' He abruptly says.

'Sleep, girl. Sleep.' And you do. You do.
