Mini Transducer for the Little Alien [Pikmin, The Girl From Tomorrow]
Read on Ao3
Read on SquidgeWorld
Or read it here.
-----------------------
When Captain Olimar finds himself on planet Earth in the year 3000, its inhabitants welcome him with joy. Not only do they invent a breathing mask for him, so Olimar can wear casual clothes while keeping his life support, but they teach him how to use a Transducer. A mini Transducer created just for him.
The Transducer is a kind of headband worn over the forehead, like a tiara. It has a teardrop-shaped black plate in the middle. On this plate is a round transparent crystal.
The Transducer focuses the power of the mind, enabling his/her user to levitate objects, heal wounds and interact with futuristic devices.
At first, Olimar has difficulty using his Transducer, even with the help of Alana and several children.
"He doesn't concentrate hard enough." A little boy told him.
"You have to concentrate!" A little girl told him.
"The Transducer is a tool for projecting your mental energy." Alana, a 14-year-old teenager and healer in training, had explained to him. "You have to feel that energy before you concentrate. It's a psychic state to achieve."
Despite this, Olimar isn't the type to give up. After days and days of practice, he manages to put himself in the right psychic state to project his mental energy. When he manages to levitate an apple, Olimar can't contain his joy. He jumps, runs and screams like a child discovering his presents at Christmas.
His behavior upset some people from the year 3000 as they have been used to controlling their emotions from an early age. Alana is an exception but she won't say why she has learned to respect expressing joy, sadness or anger. Thus Alana talks to those who have been offended by Olimar's behavior. That solves the problem.
When Captain Olimar returns to Hocotate with his mini Transducer, he can't wait to show it off and tell all about what he's discovered on this planet. Yet he's sure he's already known a planet called Earth. Could there be more than one? Hm.

Dick: Okay, I think weâre gonna have to do âGood Cop, Bad Copâ.
Jason: Yeah. Itâs tropey but it works.
Dick: Exactly. Wanna flip for Bad Cop?
Jason: Youâre kidding.
Dick: Or we could play Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock?
Jason: Dude, I canât be Good Cop. I kill people, remember? You canât kill people and be Good Cop.
Dick: Those were traffickers and mob lieutenants. These are Rogue goons.
Jason: What, like that matters?
Dick: Yes, that matters. They donât care that you took out some mobsters. They care that you revived the Joker after beating him to death and then let him go.
Jason: I didnât revive him, I just didnât let him die yet! And I didnât let him go either! That was Batman! I was gonna kill the psycho!
Dick: Yeah, well, you still kept him alive and the goons probably know it. Just like they know I was happy to leave him dead when I killed him.
Jason: What?
Dick: You heard me.
Jason: You�
Dick: Killed the Joker? Yes. I thought he killed Timmy and then when I confronted him, he said your name andâŚI didnât stop hitting him until he choked on his own blood.
Jason: ThenâŚhow is he still alive?
Dick: Batman revived him.
Jason Fucking what?
Dick: Yeah.
Jason: Well, now I definitely canât be Good Cop. Iâm way to pissed for that shit.
Dick: Well, so am I.
Jason: Fuck.
Dick: Fuck.
Jason: So now whadda we do? Try to beat it outta him?
Dick: No, he'll lock down. That's why I suggested "Good Cop, Bad Cop" to begin with.
Jason: So we need a Good Cop.
Dick: Okay, Iâm gonna call Timmy and see if he can come play Good Cop.
Jason: Good plan.
Dick [talking into a secure (& Batman-proof) phone]: Hey, Robin, you busy?
Tim [on speakerphone]: Kinda, yeah. Whatâs going on? You sound weird.
Dick: Hood and I need to get some intel from a goon, and weâre thinking âGood Cop, Bad Copâ is the way to go but neither of us can pull off Good Cop right now.
Tim: Shit. Iâm in Bangkok right now-
Jason: The fuck are you doing in Bangkok?
Tim: Speedy needed help with a thing.
Dick: In Bangkok?
Tim: No. Sheâs in Korea.
Jason: So, again, why the fuck are you in Bangkok?
Tim: Because Lady Shivaâs here and sheâs perfect for what Speedy needs, so Iâm calling in a favor she owes me.
Dick: Youâre calling in a favor from Lady Shiva because Speedy needs help with a thing in Korea.
Tim: Yep. You got it.
Dick: No, thatâs- You say that like it doesnât require any further-
Tim: Can you hang on for a second? Thereâs an assassin tailing me.
Dick: Shit. Do you need us to send someone out there?
Jason; Starfire should be done with her thing by now. She's not on your shit list, right?
Tim: No, I like Kori. But Iâm good now. My assassin got the other assassin.
Dick: You have an assassin?
Tim: Kinda? She defected from the League of Assassins and is up for hire but she always gives me priority since she feels like she owes me a life-debt.
Dick: Again, you sound like you think that statement doesnât require any further explanation.
Jason: So you hired your assassin buddy to kill the other assassin?
Tim: What? No. Of course not. She didnât kill him. Weâll question him later. She never kills on my jobs since she knows I donât like it.
Dick: What about other jobs?
Tim: Thatâs her business. We arenât all control freaks, you know.
Dick: Thatâs-
Jason: Thatâs good, Little Red. Good that you have healthy boundaries.
Dick: I have healthy boundaries.
Jason: Sure you do.
Tim: Okay, you��re gonna have to argue that on your own. Iâm supposed to help my friends out with something after I get Shiva to help Speedy, but I have to handle this interrogation first. So how about I just send my friends the twenty-five plans I drew up and ask Bunker if he minds helping you out before he joins us? He should be able to get inside Gotham in less than ten minutes.
Jason: Oh, Bunkerâs perfect for Good Cop.
Tim: Right? Theyâll spill everything and probably give him their grandmaâs secret family recipes on top of it.
Dick: Wait. Back it up. You have twenty-five plans drawn up? What are you guys up against?
Tim: Nothing we canât handle. Young Justice figures, why even bother with a plan B if you arenât gonna cover the whole alphabet?
Jason: Thereâs twenty-six letters in the alphabet, Little Red.
Tim: Yeah, but plan Z is always the same, so we donât bother listing it anymore.
Dick: Is it âget an adultâ?
Tim: Of course not.
Jason: When you were a Teen Titan, how often did you call in an adult when you probably should have?
Dick: Okay, thatâs fair.
Jason: So whatâs plan Z?
Tim: âFuck it, we ballâ.
Dick: Thatâs not a pl-
Jason: Thatâs perfect. I love it.
Dick: No. Donât encourage him.
Tim: Thanks, Red. So do you want me to ask Bunker about helping you? Iâm kinda on a time crunch now.
Jason: Yes, please.
Tim: Okay. Heâs on the way. Is there anything else?
Dick: Whe-
Jason: No, weâre good. Have fun storming the castle!
Tim: âKay, bye!
Jason: Bye!
Dick: The fuck-
Jason: Bunker and I can handle the interrogation here and Timmy and his assassin friend are gonna be busy with an interrogation there for a bit. If you take off now, you can probably catch up with him and go all big brother like youâre dying to.
Dick: You sure?
Jason: Yeah, Iâm sure me and Bunker can handle this asshole.
Dick: Thank you.
Jason: Yeah, well, you did kill the Joker. Thatâs gotta count for something, right?
Dick: Iâll tell you all about it after I make sure Timmy doesnât get himself killed or lose another organ.
Jason: Iâll hold you to- Timmy lost an organ?
Dick [already calling Kori to get him to Tim]: Later. Iâm on a time crunch now!
Jason: Iâm holding you to that!
Jason: *sighs* No one in this family knows how to share.

after an intense practice at the HYBE building, the studio is quiet except for the sound of ni-kiâs heavy breathing as he takes a moment to catch his breath. the rest of enhypen has already left to grab some food, but ni-ki insists on staying behind to perfect one last move. you sit nearby on the floor, watching him with a soft smile as he continues to practice despite clearly being exhausted and burnt out.
after a few more minutes, ni-ki walks over to where youâre sitting, wiping sweat from his brow with the back of his hand. âIâm not going to stop until I get it perfect,â he says, his usual determination shining through even when his energy is running low. You chuckle and grab his water bottle, offering it to him with a teasing smile.
'you know its already perfect baby' you say, watching his face soften at your words. you wrap your arms around him as he sits next to you, helping him relax.
later that evening, you and ni-ki get to the restaurant where the other members are already waiting for you. As soon as you walk in, sunghoon looks up from the table, an eyebrow raised with a teasing smile. âfinally decided to join the rest of us?â he jokes.
ni-ki, still a little flushed from his practice, playfully nudges you. âWe were just enjoying the peace and quiet.â. they notice a small lip gloss stain on the corner of his mouth that coincidentally matches the shade of the one on your lips.
the other members quickly notice the intimate vibe between you two. sunoo smirks, raising his glass. âaww, look at Ni-ki and yn. Should we leave you two alone?â he teases, winking in your direction.
'thatd be lovely actually' ni-ki bites back.
heesenung looks at the two of you carefully, his eyes flickering between your faces, and then his stare drops to the corner of ni-kiâs mouth. a suspicious smile spreads across his face. âyouâve got something on your lip,â he says, his tone casual and amused.
ni-ki freezes for a moment, his eyes wide with realization. He wipes at his mouth with his sleeve, but itâs too late. heeseung's smirk grows wider.
jungwon, who has been quietly observing, finally speaks up. âIs that⌠lip gloss?â he asks with a grin, his gaze switching to yours, then back to ni-kiâs mouth. âIâm not imagining things, right?â
You freeze for a second, before you casually touch the corner of your own lips, realizing that you also have a faint lip gloss stain there. Ni-kiâs face turns a light shade of red, and you canât help but laugh quietly, realizing whatâs going on.
you laugh and look over at the members, who are all staring at you, eyes shining with amusement. âItâs really not that big of a deal,â you say, trying to act casual, but the members are having none of it.
before ni-ki can even respond, jake leans forward and dramatically places his hand on his chest, sighing with exaggerated longing. âI just canât⌠you two are too adorable,â he says, making kissing noises as he mockingly gestures toward you and ni-ki.
the rest of the members immediately follow suit, leaning forward, dramatically pressing their hands together as if mimicking an overly affectionate couple. They make exaggerated kissing sounds in unison, âmwah! mwah!â
you and ni-ki stare blankly, not amused a their actions.
tell a friend to tell a friend SHES BACKKKKKKK

BATGIRL & ROBIN
Finally guys after all the sneak peeks⌠my Cassandra Cain and Mia Mizoguchi Short Story! CASS AND MAPS!
Thank you for reading! Please let me know what you think!







Iâve been posting it on my instagram all this month and last week on my twitter but i had totally forgotten to post it in here, for 2 months there wasnât a day i wasnât thinking on them and i would have loved with all my heart to do something even longer but⌠building up a story, thinking over and over the layouts, drawing and coloring with this level of detail all on my own is really hard and i canât but feel guilty of taking this long for just this 7 pages, but as little that is, with all my heart i just really hope you like them :â) , I tried to put many little easter eggs and references but i will mention some at the end to not spoil your reading.
Okay, so some of the esster eggs:
PAGE 1: that Adam West Batman & Robin climbing a building shot which actually came to me from Bruno Redondoâs cover of Nightwing actually , and the rest of the panels hugely inspired by Batman The Animated Series!
PAGE 2: a portrait of Niccolai Tapes( The Mad Monk) on his early years and at his side Matt Wagner himself! , then a newspaper with a Batman based on his first appearances and a reference to the events from Batman vs the Mad Monk by Matt Wagner, and then ofc all the room filled with a bunch of objects taken exactly from the same pages of Matt when he draw The Monkâs Castle on the same book. and finally the book of Dracula for the same reason ;) , all this layout was inspired by one of the most iconic pages from American Pax by Frank Quitely
PAGE 3: all the vampires were based physically on Voldermortâs Death Eaters! but also the girl in black is Dala! Mad Monkâs more loyal acolyte which in the book she always desired to become a vampire but never could! , but from left to right, Barty Crocuh Jr. , Dala as Bellatrix, Peter Pettigrew, The Monk was âVoldemortâ , then Snape, Lucius, Narcissa and Fenrir Greyback, and that last panel was a BLADE reference đââď¸đ
PAGE 4: this whole Cass yellow panels with speedlines were supposed to represent the same kind of panels that Damion Scott drew when Cass was moving really fast in her Batgirl run, the whole layout was based on a page of Jamal Campbell from his Green Arrow run
PAGE 5: shot referencing the killing joke joker and batgirl cover, you can see a âRed sunâ mode on the bat-flashlight apart from the Ultra Violet setting, them. Maps bites the Monk as she used to do a couple times in Gotham Academy, and Cass final attack is a reference to one of the moves she does in her 2000s run to stop the heart beats of a thug , and those circles were inspired by David Ajaâs work on his Iron Fist and run!
PAGE 6: the building on the background purposely resembles the Bat ears, the GCPD have the uniforms from BTAS and you can see also Detective Montoya and Jack Ryder interviewing her :), Maps little hearts are taken from Karl Kerschl who used to do them on Gotham Academy a couple times, and finally the Grapple Gun reference from all the time Maps mentioned it on Gotham Academy đââď¸,ohh and the box of the gift was also the same feom Shadow of the Batgirl when Barbara gives her suit to Cass!
PAGE 7: Frank Millerâs Batman and Carrie Kelly cover đââď¸đŤś
THANK U GUYS đŤś

mamma mia / a bloodline au
chapter 1: i wonder (departure)
jey uso / jimmy uso / roman reigns x fem!oc word count â 4.4k summary â with wrestlemania only weeks away, jey, jimmy, and roman take a much needed break. however things get complicated when they each receive a letter from an old high school sweetheart.  tags â original characters, recreational drug use, mentions of alcoholism and recovery, slow burn, angst, eventual romance, eventual smut, tags to be added links â masterlist / taglist
April 2025Â
Pensacola, FloridaÂ
The day was perfect.Â
White, puffy clouds drifted lazily across a brilliant blue sky, a soft breeze teasing the tree branches that hung low over the patio. The azaleaâs were in bloom, brilliant hues of pink surrounding the backyard and causing the air to smell like springtime. The afternoon was peaceful. Serene.Â
It wasnât warm enough to get in the pool, but Jey still sat on the edge, his long legs dangling into the cool water. He was more relaxed than heâd been in months, his eyes closed as he leaned back to soak in more of the sun. He could hear birds calling in the oak trees, the sound of someone cutting their grass a distant hum in the background.Â
âWant a hit?âÂ
A voice had Jey opening his eyes, squinting up at the large figure towering over him. He took the blunt without a word, watching with amusement as his twin dropped down beside him.Â
âMom ainât gonna like this.â Jey commented, but he took a long drag from it all the same, allowing the sweet smoke to fill his lungs.Â
âMom ainât gotta know.â Jimmy replied, a teasing note in his voice before he snatched the blunt from his brotherâs hand. âBesides, she in there cookinâ something. She wonât be back out for a while.âÂ
Jey hummed noncommittally, watching as Jimmy exhaled some smoke of his own. He considered asking about his sponsorâs thoughts on weed use while in the AA program, then decided against it. Jimmy seemed to be in a good mood for the first time in months and he knew bringing up his sobriety would only irritate him. And the day was too beautiful to ruin.Â
Jey leaned back and closed his eyes instead, feeling the warmth of the sun on his face. âWhereâs Roman?âÂ
Jimmy exhaled more smoke, his legs swirling restlessly in the clear water. âWho knows. Taking another call, maybe? That fool donât know how to relax.âÂ
âYouâd think WWE would collapse if he took even one afternoon off.â Jey laughed, motioning for Jimmy to pass the blunt back to him. âGod forbid he actually rest for once.âÂ
âI do rest.âÂ
Romanâs booming voice caused both twins to turn around, startled by his sudden presence. Romanâs mouth quirked into a smile. âBut I also donât ignore phone calls from our boss.âÂ
Jimmy waved his hand. âI think heâd survive if you sent him to voicemail. Thought we agreed to chill today, uce?âÂ
âI am chill.â Romanâs voice was almost defensive, rolling up his pant legs before settling on the edge of the pool beside Jey. He grimaced as he dipped his legs into the cold water, waving away the blunt that Jey offered him.Â
âBut Mania is only two weeks away. I canât be ignoring calls. Not now.âÂ
Jey shrugged, taking another hit before passing the blunt back to his brother. âYeah, I know whatchu mean. If I check my phone right now, I probably got a million missed calls.âÂ
âAye, but thatâs because you they future World Heavyweight Champion.â Jimmy said with a grin, nudging his twinâs arm. âWWE might actually fall apart without you.âÂ
Jey rolled his eyes. âUh huh, sure. Tell that to my adoring Internet fans.â He hadnât meant for the words to come out so bitter and he wasnât surprised when both Roman and Jimmy turned to stare at him.Â
âCome on, uce. I told you to quit looking at that shit.â Jimmy was frowning now. âAinât nothing good gonna come outta seeing all that.âÂ
âYeah, I know.â Jey muttered, unable to look either of them in the eye.Â
Romanâs shoulder brushed his in silent reassurance, his gaze at his cousin kind. âJimmyâs right. Those arenât real fans. Theyâre just trolls. Losers who donât even buy tickets. Your real fans are in the crowd every week. You know that.âÂ
This wasnât the first time theyâd talked about this and Jey couldnât help but feel like he was being lectured. Heâd spent too long as the youngest in their trio, always at the receiving end of one lecture or another, whether from one of them or their parents. Feeling ganged up and getting defensive was pretty much instinctual at this point.Â
âYeah, yeah, I know.â Jey snatched the blunt from Jimmyâs hand, taking another long drag to force himself to relax. âWe ainât gotta go over it all again.âÂ
Jimmy and Roman both wisely stayed silent. The afternoon was too beautiful to argue and they both knew it was a sensitive subject. Besides, theyâd all agreed to take the afternoon off before flying to Chicago for their next show. With Wrestlemania coming up, this was probably the last break theyâd get for a while.Â
âYou still talking to that girl?â Roman asked, deciding to change the subject. âYou know, that pretty one in NXT?âÂ
Jey scowled. âNah, we was just fucking around. You know she too young for me, uce.âÂ
Roman raised his hands, as if he were surrendering. âHey, I was just asking. Didnât know if maybe youâd caught feelings or something.âÂ
âFor a 26-year-old?â Jey kicked the water. âNo, thanks. I got enough problems as it is.âÂ
Jimmy chuckled, taking what remained of the blunt from his brotherâs fingers before flicking it off to the side. âI hear that. Though she was pretty. Definitely too pretty for yo ugly ass.âÂ
Jey glared at him. âWe got the same face, dumbass.âÂ
âLast I checked we was fraternal twins. Not identical. Which is why Iâve aged better than you.âÂ
âAged better than me? You fucking wish. You got more grey in your beard than I do!âÂ
âPlease. Ladies love the grey. You just jealous.âÂ
âMan, if you donât-â
âI thought we agreed to chill today.â Roman interrupted, trying to resist the urge to laugh. He was used to the twinâs bickering. âEspecially since we got that early ass call in Chicago tomorrow.âÂ
âDonât remind me.â Jimmy groaned. âI got a match with Melo tomorrow.âÂ
Roman raised an eyebrow. âThought you liked working with Melo?âÂ
âI like him because heâs safe. But that cocky attitudeâŚâ Jimmy shook his head. âIt makes me wanna put hands on that motherfucker.âÂ
Jey chuckled. âThese rookies are a different breed, man. Ainât like how it was when we was coming up.âÂ
The three of them continued to chat, falling back into an easy rhythm. It had been a long time since theyâd spent any real time together. Ever since the Bloodline story ended, theyâd all gone their separate ways, only able to see each other on holidays or whenever their storylines crossed. It was nice for the original trio to be back together. It felt like how it did back in the old days: the three of them sitting on the edge of the pool talking, Rikishi eventually calling them back in for dinner. It was nice. It was needed.Â
Their parents seemed to agree, spending most of the dinner chattering about how happy they were to have the three of them back together. It was strange to be without any of their other siblings, the house unusually empty now that everyone had grown up and moved away. They knew it had taken a toll on their parents, who were used to the bustle and chatter of eight children.Â
âItâs just so good to see you back together again,â their mother gushed, reaching out to squeeze Jimmyâs hand. âWhen are you going to get the Bloodline story going again? Everyone misses seeing the family together.âÂ
Roman smiled. âMaybe soon. Jeyâs gotta win that Heavyweight Championship first.âÂ
âWell, we ainât gotta worry about that,â Rikishi replied, his eyes shining with pride as he looked at his younger son. âItâs only a few weeks away. And we already know heâs got this in the bag.âÂ
Jey seemed embarrassed, quickly taking a sip of his drink to avoid all the eyes that were suddenly trained on him. âCome on, Dad. It ainât a set in stone thing.âÂ
Rikishi looked like he was going to say more, but their mother quickly stood, effectively ending any potential arguments. âOh! I forgot! All three of you got something in the mail. I set it on the counter over here.âÂ
She quickly retrieved the letters, passing them out to each of them. The boys took them with confused expressions, their eyes scanning the unfamiliar handwriting on the front.Â
Roman raised an eyebrow, glancing over at Rikishi. âDonât think Iâve ever used your address for mail, Pops.âÂ
Rikishi shrugged. âIt didnât look like spam which is why we didnât throw them away. Itâs postmarked from Greece.âÂ
Jimmy gave his mother a suspicious look, holding up his envelope. âWhy does mine already look open?âÂ
Their mother looked sheepish. âWell, itâs been sitting on the counter for ages! And they just looked so mysterious! I had to know what was in them.âÂ
âMama! You not supposed to open other peopleâs mail.âÂ
She waved her hands dismissively. âOh, please. Iâm your mother.âÂ
Nobody could argue with her on that. Instead, the three of them opened their letters, each of them containing a wedding invitation:Â

An RSVP card was also attached, along with some instructions on how to make reservations at the hotel. But it was the handwritten at the bottom of each card that had all three of them surprised.Â
I wanted to invite you to my daughterâs wedding as a chance to reconnect. I know itâs been a long time, but I want to see you. Please come. Iâll be waiting. Love, Danielle
Jeyâs heart immediately stuttered at the sight, nearly dropping the paper in surprise. He felt his cheeks heating up, re-reading the handwritten message over and over again to make sure he wasnât hallucinating. He didnât dare look up to meet anyone elseâs gaze, though he knew Roman and Jimmy were staring at him.Â
Of course, their mother was oblivious. âJoshua, isnât that the nice girl you dated in high school?âÂ
Jey swallowed, his mind already racing a million miles an hour. Was this some kind of joke? The last time theyâd spoken, Dani had made it clear she never wanted to see him again.Â
âOh, I remember her.â Rikishi was saying. âHer family used to live down the street. You took her to prom, didnât you?âÂ
Jey knew everyone was looking at him, waiting for some kind of response. He quickly straightened his spine, forcing himself to smile.Â
âYeah, I did. Havenât talked to her in a minute though.âÂ
Jimmyâs face was strangely blank. âYeah, I havenât either. Didnât know she had a kid.âÂ
Their mother turned to Roman. âJoe, you remember her too, donât you? You used to always go along to chaperone their dates. She was a pretty thing, wasnât she?âÂ
Roman crossed his arms over his chest, frowning. âYeah. Yeah, she was.â His voice sounded more tense than usual.Â
âOh, this is just wonderful! You three have to go! Itâll be like a little high school reunion.âÂ
None of them said anything, though Jey didnât miss the way Jimmyâs eyes kept flickering over to him. He was, no doubt, remembering how badly their breakup had been that summer after graduation. That was the last time heâd ever seen Dani. He remembered her dark eyes filled with tears, her pretty face a mask of hurt. He remembered with a pang of guilt the awful things heâd said to her. The way heâd pushed her aside. It made him sick to think about it.Â
âWerenât you three talking about needing a vacation some time this summer?â Rikishi asked. âGreece would be beautiful that time of year. Jon, I know you always said you wanted to go back.âÂ
âYeah, butâŚâ Jimmy floundered, still looking over at his younger twin. âI mean, itâs been a long time. How can we be sure she even remembers us?âÂ
Their mother gave him an incredulous look. âWhy else would she invite you? And look at that little handwritten note she put at the bottom. She really wants to see you!âÂ
Jimmy sighed. âAinât it illegal to read someone elseâs mail?âÂ
âJonathan.â Their motherâs tone was warning. âIâm being serious. You three have been working too hard. And you never get to see each other anymore! This is just perfect. And besides, this might be good for your brother.âÂ
All eyes were on Jey again.Â
âWhatchu mean?â Jey asked, hating how defensive his voice sounded. He cleared his throat. âI mean, why would it be good for me?âÂ
His mother smiled. âMaybe this is a second chance. Youâre single. Maybe sheâs single too.âÂ
âMama!â Jimmyâs tone was chastising. âShe has a kid. And even if she was single, the kidâs dad is probably gonna be there.âÂ
Their mother waved her hand. âItâs not like that means anything. And why else would she write such a nice little note on his invitation?âÂ
âShe wrote a note on ours too.â Roman pointed out, holding up his card for the table to see. âI donât think it means that.âÂ
âWell, it could!â Their mother let out a huff. âIt just feels like fate. An old high school relationship reaches back out to you after twenty years? That has to mean something! Tell them, honey.â She motioned to Rikishi who just shrugged.Â
âMaybe. Iâm just thinking of your careers. Iâve told you a million times that if you donât take any time for yourselves youâre going to get burned out. And what happens to burned out wrestlers?âÂ
âThey get injured. Yes, Pops, we know.â Jimmy quickly tried to squash any potential lecture their father was already gearing up for. Theyâd heard enough to last a lifetime. âBut, I mean, Greece? Thatâs pretty far to go meet with someone we havenât seen in twenty years.âÂ
Roman was quick to agree. âYes and that would take a lot of planning. We have commitments. Shows to attend. Storylines to continue. We canât just up and leave.âÂ
Rikishi scoffed. âPlease. You can do whatever you want. Youâre the biggest draw at that damn company. Besides, itâs only for a week. Itâs not like youâre missing SummerSlam.âÂ
âYeah, well not all of us are as lucky as the Tribal Chief,â Jimmy shot Roman an accusatory look. âSome of us have to show up to work or else weâll get fired.âÂ
âYouâre being ridiculous,â their mother said. âJoe would never let that happen. Dwayne would never let that happen. You donât have anything to worry about.âÂ
Jey had been staying silent for most of the conversation, his eyes still staring at the note at the bottom of the card. It had been so long he couldnât remember what her handwriting looked like. Why would she want him there? Hell, why did she want all three of them there? They hadnât seen her in years. And their breakup had beenâŚpainful, to say the least.Â
Youâre really going to throw this relationship away after everything weâve been through? Daniâs voice had been strained, clearly fighting back tears. I thought you loved me.Â
Her words still cut deep, even all these years later. He had loved her. More than heâd ever loved anyone. And he hadnât loved anyone else since.Â
âUce?â Jimmy was nudging his shoulder, his face concerned. âYou good?âÂ
Jey put down the paper, passing a hand over his face. âYeah. Yeah, Iâm good. JustâŚthinking.âÂ
âWell, listen. Iâll take care of everything,â their mother said, already plucking the RSVP cards from their hands. âIâll write her back and tell her youâre coming. Iâll even get the flights together. Itâll be fun! You have to promise to send me pictures.âÂ
Jey was surprised that he didnât feel compelled to argue with her. Every logical thought in his brain told him that this was a bad idea. Dani wouldnât want to see him. She had every right to hate him. Heâd done her wrong. And heâd spent the past twenty years regretting it.Â
Still, it didnât change how he felt. His heart was still racing, his chest suddenly tight with emotions he thought heâd buried years ago. Perhaps he was a sentimental fool, but he desperately wanted to believe the words sheâd written on the page.Â
I know itâs been a long time, but I want to see you.
Did she really? After all these years? After everything that went down? It seemed too good to be true.Â
Jey felt another brush against his shoulder and he looked over to meet Romanâs eyes.Â
âIâll back your play, uce. Whatever you want.â He said. His face seemed carefully blank, like he didnât want to burst Jeyâs bubble. âI can talk to Hunter and sort it out. You and Jimmy ainât gotta worry. Do you wanna go?âÂ
Jey stared at the writing again.Â
Please come. Iâll be waiting.
âYeah,â Jeyâs voice was hoarse, an emotion he was too scared to name stuck in his throat. âYeah, I do.âÂ
Jimmy shut the bathroom door behind him with more force than necessary, struggling to control his breathing. Heâd already been on edge all night, their father doing nothing to help the situation.Â
âYou found a new apartment yet?â Rikishi had asked when they were alone in the kitchen. âOr you still living in that shithole in North Hill?âÂ
Jimmy had struggled to control his anger, keeping his voice low so the others wouldnât hear from the dining room. âItâs just temporary, Pops. Just until I find another place.âÂ
âAnd you been going to those AA meetings? Talking to your sponsor?âÂ
âWill you just leave it, Dad?âÂ
Ever since the divorce, Rikishi hadnât given him a single momentâs peace. In his eyes, his oldest son, a boy he used to call his pride and joy, was a failure. Heâd tarnished the family reputation with his DUIs and disorderly conduct charges. Heâd set a bad example to his younger siblings. Heâd all but destroyed his career, or whatever career he had left as a nearly geriatric wrestler. Heâd wrecked his marriage and was now completely and utterly alone.
And Rikishi never let him forget it.Â
I stuck with your mother through thick and thin. We made it work. A real man stays by his woman and never gives up. Whatâs your excuse?Â
Rikishiâs words had never left his mind. What was his excuse? That they just couldnât make it work? That theyâd fallen out of love years ago and were just looking for a reason to end it all? That she got tired of his shitty excuses and refusal to clean up his act?Â
Jimmy leaned against the bathroom door, passing a hand over his tired face. This was why he hated coming home. He couldnât stand to see the disappointed look on his fatherâs face every time he looked at him, the passive-aggressive comments when his mother was around and the fiery lectures when she wasnât.Â
Maybe it wouldnât be so painful if Rikishi wasnât right. The truth was Jimmy had screwed it all up. He was supposed to be the oldest. Supposed to set a good example for his younger siblings and uphold their illustrious family name. Instead, heâd all but destroyed his reputation, his career, and his marriage. He was a failure. In every sense of the word.Â
He stared at the letter in his hand, his eyes tracing the loopy handwriting at the bottom.Â
I know itâs been a long time, but I want to see you.
Yet another failure. Except this one was meant to be buried.Â
What the hell was Dani thinking by inviting him? They had both sworn to never speak of that night again. What theyâd done was meant to be a secret. Jey wasnât supposed to know. Jey could never know.Â
Jimmy remembered that night all too well. Heâd found her heartbroken and alone, sitting at the special spot on the beach that was only supposed to be for her and Jey. He couldnât believe his twin had been stupid enough to let her go. And when she told him what Jey had said to her, heâd been angry. Jey had done more than broken her heart. Heâd completely devastated her.Â
Heâd loved Dani too, in his own way, but sheâd always been Jeyâs girl. And when heâd found her crushed by his twinâs betrayal, he felt responsible. Jey had done this to her. His brother. His twin. And it was his job to clean up his brotherâs messes.Â
Jimmy hadnât intended to sleep with her. It had just sort of happened. Heâd only wanted to make her happy. To do something to dry the tears from her pretty face and see her smile again. To help her forget about Jey and his cruel words. He hadnât meant to betray his twin and sleep with the only girl heâd ever loved. Heâd justâŚgone too far.Â
But that was the story of his life wasnât it? He always took it too far. And he was always wrong.Â
Even though her and Jey werenât together, she was still Jeyâs girl. She had always been Jeyâs girl. Which is why theyâd promised to never speak of it again.Â
Jimmy felt his heart stutter in his chest as he re-read her note. Why would she want to see him? He could understand if she wanted to see Jey. Sheâd loved him. But sheâd never loved Jimmy. Sheâd only slept with him because she was sad and lonely and probably because he reminded her of Jey.Â
Jimmy reached out to trace her name at the bottom of the note. Danielle. He hadnât seen a picture of her in years but he could still remember every inch of her pretty face. Did she really want to see him? But why?Â
He remembered the look on Jeyâs face when heâd read her note at the table. Heâd looked shocked, his cheeks turning red. Heâd seemed embarrassed, scared, and distraught all at the same time, but Jimmy had seen something else there too: hope.Â
Jey still cared about her, even all these years later. Jey wanted to believe that the words in the letter were true. That she wanted to see him. That he would get a chance to apologize for the wrong heâd done to her. Jimmy knew his twin too well.Â
Jimmy began to realize that he wasnât going to be able to talk himself out of this one. He couldnât let his twin go to Greece alone. And Jey would want him there. Jey would need him there. It would look weird if he said no, even though heâd tried to protest the best he could at the dinner table.Â
Jimmy stared at the letter in his hand. Dani hadnât just written to Jey. Sheâd written to him too. Did that mean she wanted to see him? Had she missed him? Did she really want to reconnect?Â
Jimmy folded up the letter and put it in his jacket pocket, right next to his AA chip. He wanted to believe her words so badly.Â
I want to see you.
And Jimmy wouldnât admit it, but he wanted to see her too.Â
Theyâd said their goodbyes shortly after dinner. It was clear that Jey had a lot on his mind, his answers clipped and his gaze absent. He hadnât taken the letter out of his hand, folding and unfolding the paper to keep reading the note there.
Meanwhile, Jimmy had nearly sprinted out the front door, no doubt anxious to get away from his fatherâs scrutiny. Roman knew that Rikishi had been hard on him since the divorce and wasnât surprised by this. It was a miracle Jimmy had even showed up at his parentâs house today at all.Â
They all agreed to meet back up in Chicago, each of them on different flights and schedules. Which was fine by Roman. As much as he loved his cousins, he wasnât eager to discuss the letters theyâd received over dinner. He was still too shocked, too confused to know what to say.Â
He kept his grip tight on the steering wheel as he drove to the airport, his gaze unblinking on the road ahead.Â
Dani had invited him to Greece. To her daughterâs wedding. And sheâd handwritten a note, specifically to him, wanting to reconnect.Â
Reconnect?Â
They hadnât seen each other in nearly twenty years. He didnât want to think about their last night together, the memory still locked away deep within the recesses of his heart. Heâd promised himself that he wouldnât think about her again. What theyâd done that night had been wrong. Heâd let her get too close, allowing her to penetrate the strong, composed facade he tried to project to the world. And heâd always regretted it.Â
It wasnât because he didnât care about her. Far from it. Heâd always cared about her, ever since kindergarten. Sheâd been the first friend heâd made.Â
But thatâs all theyâd ever been. Friends. Heâd never had the courage to ask her out, no matter how much he wanted to. His hesitance had given Jey the opportunity to swoop in and steal her heart. And he only had himself to blame.Â
He had no intention of doing anything with Dani after Jey broke up with her. When heâd gone over to her house, it had been to check on her. Nothing more. He hadnât made the first move. But he hadnât stopped it either.Â
Romanâs knuckles were blanched from how hard he was gripping the steering wheel. He didnât want to think about this. He didnât want to remember.Â
Please come. Iâll be waiting.
Roman remembered the words in her letter. There was once a time when he would have been overjoyed to hear them. But that was a long time ago. Heâd been a different man then.Â
Was this a bad idea? Originally he had agreed to go for Jey. Roman knew he needed closure after the horrible breakup they had. And maybe Mama was right. Maybe Dani would be single and Jey would get another chance to mend things with her. Roman knew he still carried a torch for her, even all these years later. And Roman wanted to be supportive.Â
Because thatâs who he was now. He was supportive. He was kind. He was understanding. He didnât fall in love with his cousinâs girl. He didnât sleep with his cousinâs girl behind his back. He didnât hurt the people he loved and make excuses for it.Â
Roman made up his mind.Â
He was going to do this for Jey. He was going to go to Greece and be supportive. He was going to put his own feelings to the side and be the good older cousin that he was supposed to be. Besides, he didnât have any feelings about this. Dani was just someone he knew from school. She meant nothing to him. He didnât care about her. He didnât love her.Â
He didnât.Â

parents
mia fishel x f!reader
a new kitten will expose the relationship between you and your teammate
it is one rainy saturday when youâre wandering a local shelter with mia, her hand brushing yours as you peer into cages.
youâve talked about adopting a pet, something to make your flat feel even more like yours.
inside of the shelter, something inside of you had the stop the urge to adopt every cat at the shelter.
mia had more restraint than you, making sure that you guys chose the right one.
the two of you walked around the cages, and in the 'free-roam' room before you see her... a tiny calico kitten.
she had all patches of orange and black, with eyes like green marbles. she mews, a sound so small it cracks your heart open.
after asking one of the shelter volunteers to open the cage, you scoop the kitten up, and she nuzzles into your chest.
miaâs watching, her smile soft, and you know sheâs sold too.
you name the kitten waffle, because of course you do, and mia laughs, calling it the most you thing ever.
if it were up to mia, you knew that she would've chose a simple human-like name.
waffle changes everything.
sheâs a whirlwind of energy, batting at miaâs socks at home, curling up in your lap during movie nights. you and mia take turns feeding her, cleaning her litter, and snapping photos to send to catarina, who responds with heart-eyes emojis.
youâre so wrapped up in this new joy, you forget to be as careful.
mia and you forgot that your relationship was still a secret to the team. yes, after a full year nobody has suspected anything.
one day, you bring waffle to the training ground, tucked in a carrier, because she hates being alone.
youâre planning to keep her in the physio room, out of sight, but the teamâs early, and suddenly youâre surrounded.
âwhose kitten?â asks sonia, the coach, her brow raised. you stammer, but mia, ever the quick thinker, says, âours.â
the word lands like a pebble in a pond, ripples spreading. the team stares...hannah, millie, erin, all of them wide-eyed. you feel exposed, your secret is out, but miaâs hand finds yours, steady and sure.
catarina, leaning against a locker, smirks, her expression screaming i told you so.
sheâs known forever thanks to sharing the same national team as mia and you.
catmac steps forward, slinging an arm around you both.
âabout time you all caught up,â she says.
sam rolls her eyes while niamh grins, saying she shouldâve guessed from how you and mia always pair up for drills. millie demands to hold waffle, cooing as the kitten swats her finger.
erin asks why you kept it secret, her tone gentle, and you admit you were scared of it affecting the team.
by the end of the day, waffleâs the unofficial mascot, and your love for mia is no longer a secret to everyone.
at home, later that night, youâre sprawled on the couch, miaâs head resting on your lap.
you watch waffle darting around the flat. the tiny calico kitten chases a crumpled receipt, her green eyes bright with mischief, but thereâs a moment when she pauses, looking around as if searching for something...or someone.
suddenly, it hits you, a quiet ache knowing that waffle seems lonely.
you laugh it off, nudging mia.
âour girl needs a friend, doesnât she?â you say, half-joking, expecting mia to roll her eyes.
mia sits up with her eyes serious and nods, âyeah, she does.â
the next morning, just two weeks after adopting waffle, youâre back at the shelter. the air smells of fur and disinfectant.
it did not take long before you see a brown tabby, her coat a swirl of caramel and chocolate, with amber eyes that hold a quiet curiosity.
sheâs curled in a corner, untouched by adoption papers, like sheâs been waiting for you.
you and mia exchange a glance, and itâs decided.
you sign the papers, naming her chicken because your breakfast obsession is unstoppable, and miaâs laugh echoes through the shelter as you write the name down on the papers.
back home, you set chicken down, her tiny paws tentative on the hardwood.
waffle bounds over, tail high, and for a moment, you hold your breath.
after a second theyâre sniffing, circling, and suddenly chasing each other in a blur of calico and tabby.
chickenâs a bit smaller, maybe a few weeks younger than waffle, but theyâre a perfect match.
they tumble over a catnip toy, wrestle in a sunbeam, then collapse in a cuddly heap, purring like a tiny engine.
you lean against mia on the couch, your heart swelling.
sheâs grinning, happier than youâve seen in weeks, tossing a feather wand for âher daughtersâ to pounce on.
the both of you watch them play, chicken and waffle, two girls filling your flat with chaos and love.
you murmur, âlook at our girls, mia, theyâre already best friends,â and her eyes meet yours, sparkling with joy.
she leans in, her lips brushing yours in a quick, soft kiss. you pull back, both of you smiling, as chicken and waffle dart past, filling the living room with their playful chaos.

like a phoenix. (2.7k words)
what if phoenix- instead of being virtually indestructible, actually wasnt? what if he was actually incredibly prone to death, but he just⌠never stayed dead?
(trigger warning for a multitude of causes of deaths!! some in detail and some not. other twâs include implied suicide attempts, implied child neglect, derealisation and thinking one is already dead. be warned! take care of yourself!)
at 9, he wakes in his bed after having a high fever and his mom ships him off to school hours after it began. he finds it odd, because last heâd checked his temperature (that morning, when he told his mom he felt like he was going to die and his mom had left to go run errands, barely sparing him a glance), his temperature had been at 107 degrees farenheit. that was definitely high, but after he slipped into unconsciousness, writhing and restless and in a lot of pain, he woke up to his mother checking his temperature and saying he was fine to head off to school. he didnt feel fine, but his temperature had gone down significantly enough that his mother felt like he had no excuse not to go. hes glad he went to school though, even as he shivered, sneezed and sniffled, because there he found a friend in a boy with a funny bowtie and a heart made of gold.
he crunches and chokes on glass shards and poison but doesnt die. the doctors dont find anything wrong with him, aside from feeling a bit ill, so he goes back into the courtroom and dollie is convicted of murder. hes happy his roommate is away for some theatre troupe thing, because the sickness eventually catches up to him and he throws up shards of glass, acid and blood. it cuts into his throat and burns his eyes and he swears, he swears he dies right then and there, freezing and shaking and everything hurts. but when he wakes up hours later, the sun having set and the only light source in his dingy dormroom the moon outside, hes amazed to not feel sick anymore. but the puddle of sludge is drying beside his face and he considers himself lucky, or maybe unlucky, because unlike dahliaâs other victims, he actually lives to tell the tale.
phoenix arrives early to the office, having been in the public library nearby reading a book on reincarnation. he enters the office and promptly has his skull caved into his brain. he does not see his assailant, but when he wakes, theres an oddly dressed girl crying, crouched over his bossâ cold body. he doesnât think about the drying blood in the back of his head, or how cold miaâs body is (and why he can even tell, considering the fact he has not touched her corpse) or the chapter in the book heâd been reading that talked about quantum immortalityâ all he thinks of is proving maya feyâs innocence.
as it turns out, being constantly anxious and terrified of mortal peril actually has its perks. maybe the fact heâs a lawyer whose only ever dealt with homicide cases definitely wasnât benefiting his mental wellbeing either. in any case, its that fear of literally everything and constant feeling of impending doom that makes his body react before his mind does. taser! danger! maya! so, he gets tasered. and it fucking HURTS, but he feels more relieved than frightened as the searing pain shoots through him, because heâd been able to push maya away before von karma got to them both. wasnt a symptom of death by electrocution an overwhelming feeling of helplessness and imminent death? maybe he was going crazy. when he comes back though, its to his head in the lap of a crying spirit medium, so maybe a psychotic break isnt too bad if it means everyone else gets to escape with no damage to their own psyche.
its only after she stops screaming in terror- oh my god, nicks a zombie!! kyahh!!!- and nearly beating him with her bulky magatama necklace, that she tells him what she saw. (âlike, there was a sudden bright light and then i realised it was coming from you! but when i tried to touch your glowing skin,â she says it like its the most absurd thing sheâd ever seen, which really said something considering the fact she was from a family of people who could channelthe dead âit was HOT! like, japanifornia summer hot! blazing! i was only able to check your pulse after you cooled down a bitâŚâ). maybe its this that makes him less alarmed by the way his skin glowed in the dark of his trashed bedroom, after drinking himself to death following a certain phone call from a terribly sad, newly bossless detective. he doesnt think he can bear the taste alcohol ever again, after that.
maybe the number of times heâs died of blunt force trauma to the head should be a cause for concern, even more so when he wakes up without any of his memories. heâs terrified, and doesnt even knows who he is, until he does, and is able to prove maggey byrde innocent. fun times! he should probably watch out to make sure his next death wasnât to the head, lest he be as mentally impaired as a number of people liked to say he was⌠(and he should probably also be concerned by the fact he was already thinking of the next time heâd die, but ah well, blame it on the concussion).
as it turns out, getting whipped to death was not on his list of ways he thought heâd die next, but life liked to mess with him like that, it seemed. still, dragging his delirious self to the bathroom of his office to try and save the infected wounds from killing him wasnât all that fun, and heâs immediately reminded of his first death, slow and painful, alone and scared of what came next. he feels bad for feeling relieved when maya shows up and screams upon seeing the state he and the bathroom (thatâd heâd accidentally trashed when his legs gave out after he opened the door, a number of bottles fallen to the floor beside him) were in. he stops her from calling the police- there was no point, he didnât have much time left. but when she asks what she could do, he goes quiet. (âŚjust⌠stay here? i dont- he coughs up a distinctly red shade of spit. maya makes a noise between a choked cry and a whatthefuckwhatthefuckwhatthefuck. but phoenix was shivering worse now, and hugs himself tigher. i dont want to die alone.) so she stays with him, on the cold bathroom floor, as his labored breathing eventually slows. when he awakens, he finds maya asleep leaning against him, and promises to get her burgers as a thank you.
who knew death by a monkey throwing a giant bronze bust of max galactica at you could happen? at this point, heâs almost glad he was basically immortal, because there was no way in hell heâd allow his autopsy report to say âcause of death: monkey manslaughterâ! edgeworth would laugh himself to tears if he saw! not that he could see. or cry, because he was dead. and not coming back. damn.
so edgeworth isnt dead! yippee? he thought it was his thing to get reanimated after death, not edgeworths. when he saw him, standing in the middle of the police department, alive and breathing and very much not dead, he nearly started laughing. he mustâve finally gone insane! curse the amount of times heâd died of brain related injuries, not that he knew how many of them there were at this point. he might actually have laughed a bit, because pearls was looking at him like he was losing it (he was) but he couldnt really bring himself to care as he had more pressing issues at hand, like saving his best friend from a crazy serial killer holding her hostage, and punching his other best friend in the face for faking his own death (because really, dying was his thing! not edgeworths!). and if he pulls edgeworth into a hug immediately after, throwing caution in the wind (you only live once, right?), the warmth- a normal, human temperature, unlike his burning hot when he came back from death- is enough to stabilise his harried mind for just a moment, before he has to return to his guilty client and his hopeless situation.
by some crazy turn of events, he actually doesnt die from having boiling hot coffee thrown at his face. it burns, and maya screams when she sees the boils on his face after that first trial with godot, but after throwing a wet towel over his face and putting him in timeout on the sofa for 12-hours, the burns go away as if they were never there. he fell asleep at some point, and after alot of back and forth debate, they eventually came to the conclusion that 1. his body heat rising to burning levels when he dies must have caused his body has to grow immune to heat and 2. since sleep was like a âtemporary deathâ, a âtemporary woundâ would just heal like it did when he died of normal wounds, right? he didnât want to dwell on it too much, because maya was looking at him like she wanted to test that theory for real, so he quickly changes topics before things got out of hand.
so their theory on the immunity to heat thing was correct! âŚalmost. larry had tried to stop him, but it was fire and he was basically immune to heat, right? nope! his skin burned and boiled but he didnât die as he tried to run across the burning bridge. even so, nothing hurt more than falling through one of the burnt planks and slamming onto the surface of the freezing cold rushing stream below. luckily the death was near immediate, but unfortunately he came to while in the water still, so he swallowed a sizeable amount of water before paramedics arrived. he hears the doctors find his survival miraculous, despite the scorching hot fever he was now under. he blacks out again, and comes to in the hospital, feeling absolutely terrible.
the horribleness feels familiar though, and when edgeworth walks in, he realises what it must be, when the man presses the back of his hand to his temple and quickly pulls his hand away as if burned. (oh. he thinks, tearing up despite himself. it must be the fever. iâm going to die like this again.) his internal monologue mustâve been external though, because edgeworth balks (âagain?!â). but phoenix was crying in hiccups and sobs, feeling terrible and like he was nine years old again, wishing his mother were there to nurse him back to health like sheâd never done before. he faintly hears edgeworth sitting down on his bed and reaches out, gripping the mans waist like it was a lifeline. in a sense, it was. âdonât go.â he whispers, gripping the man tighter like heâd disappear into thin air (again). âplease, please donât go.â in his delirium, he nearly wails in despair when he feels edgeworth move, but he was only moving to readjust himself so heâs lying next to him, their bodies so close that it must burn, but the only sign edgeworth shows that heâs in pain is a wince and the crease of his brow. he allows himself to be cried on, curling a protective arm over phoenixâs burning body. âi- i dont know whatâs going on, wright, but iâm not, iâm not going anywhere, okay?â he seems to be attempting exasperation, but it comes out terrified and concerned, but phoenix is fading quickly, so it might just be his waning mind making up things that donât exist. âi am terrified. your body is life threateningly hot andâ wright? wright!â
he comes to with nurses surrounding him, and a distressed edgeworth swearing on his life that that man was dead, his body was seizing and on fire and- and his heart stopped beating! but phoenix couldnât dwell on it, because the mention of fire immediately brought him back to why he was in the hospital at all. and plus, it gave him the chance to use his best friends sensitive treatment of him afterwards to convince him to play defense attorney, so that was nice. still, he feels like he dies when he finds out dahlia had actually been iris and that godot was actually his dead mentors apparently not dead boyfriend. oh, and he was also a murderer. he also feels like he dies when dahlia- actual, serial killer and dead by execution dahlia, was exorcised from mayaâs body. but that had more to do with his soul leaving his body in terror rather than actually dying, so that was a nice change of pace⌠probably.
later, heâd had to have a conversation with edgeworth to give him an explanation on just what the hell heâd witnessed in that hospital room. although, apparently his re-aliving symptoms mustâve started becoming more dramatic, because miles describes it as his whole body glowing as bright as the sun, and then his eyes opening for a moment to reveal nothing but white, glowing eyeballs with no irises. phoenix has to convince him to still board his flight the day after, that he was okay⌠probably. maybe not safe, but definitely okay. (still, edgeworth stays the night at his, and they hold eachother close, basking in the shared warmth of two alive bodies in heat equilibrium, listening to eachothers breathing and rhythmic heartbeats, no signs of impending mortality in sight, save for, what did the french call it? la petite morte? most of all, phoenix basks in the promise miles makes to him. âiâm not going anywhere,â he repeats, over and over like he was trying to convince himself as much as he was phoenix. âiâm not going anywhere, i promise.â)
and when he loses his badge, he thinks he really does die, permanent and definitively. he feels far away from his body when the forger is called to the witness stand. feels like a ghost when the council walks out the room and past him, making no eye contact and answering the unanswered question on the tip of his tongue. feels his life crumble to pieces when a blonde man with a pleasent, almost saintly smile gives him the most maddeningly sympathetic look and tells him he is sorry for his loss, as if there really was someone dead. only, the only one dead mustâve been him, because there was no one else there who had just lost their life. he couldnât even hear himself as he laughed, which turned into sobs, as he excused himself and fleed to his bicycle. not one pedestrian bats an eye at the state he is in, so he must really be a ghost, cycling past speeding cars and large trucks and buses as if it couldnât kill him, because he wasnât there, he was already dead. when he reaches his office, freezing and quiet and dreadfully void of any human life, he passes by the window his boss had died at and sees his reflection, unkempt and red faced and badgeless. he wants to scream, but he couldnât because no one would hear a ghost scream, so instead he just sits down in the spot his mentor had lost her life in, and mourns.
when two weeks later a warm, incredible alive life falls into his hands in the shape of a little girl with a too big tophat and a joy for being alive that heâd lost years ago, well, maybe he is glad that he couldnât die for real, if only to be able to wake up to that beaming grin as his little girl tries to pull her daddy out of bed because sheâd made breakfast, and it only smells burnt because of the magic something sheâd added as a special ingredient. he eats it, char and all, because he canât taste the burnt-ness of it anyway, but he could taste the love and care put into it, and that was more than enough to take his mind away readying himself for his next death. instead, he thinks of his daughterâs next performance at the wonder bar, and their next trip to kurain, and milesâ next visit. for once, he thinks of living.

a/n: ooo i've never posted on here before this is so scary :'( but writing this made me so emotional like that's my baby! please enjoy <3
"How're you so soft?"
Dean's question makes you giggle. You lean forward to rest your forehead on your knees, your hair cascading over your shoulders. He's mesmerized. He brings the brush back to your head, bristles gliding through the silky strands.
You feel his exhale against the back of your neck when he laughs, too. "No, angel, 'm serious," he insists, running his fingers through a section of your hair. "You feel like Heaven⌠everywhere. Like, damn." He says it like he's proud, admiring you.
There's also the faintest hint of jealousy deep in his gut. You're everything that contradicts what he is â so naive and unaware of the plethora of dangers on Earth. It's silly, but sometimes, that's exactly what he longs to be.
Dean sighs as he brushes through your hair. He wouldn't be caught dead doing this for anybody else, but he can make an exception for his angel girl. He always does. Your delicacy makes him want to turn into a whole new version of himself and take care of you.
"You are, too," you murmur then, hushed. You're sitting in front of him, between his legs on the floor of his room in the bunker.
Setting the brush down, he brings his fingers to your scalp, carding through your hair. "I'm what?"
"Soft."
He almost chokes on a laugh. "Honeyâ"
"You put the brush down 'cause you wanna touch me instead, right? You like the way it makes you feel," you continue, not letting him interject â partly because you don't totally understand the formalities of human conversation yet, but Dean finds that adorable. He doesn't correct you.
"You treat me like I'm fragile because⌠you're soft on the inside. Aren't you?" You lean your head back, settling in his lap, your hair fanning out across his jeans. When you look up at him, he's already staring, enchanting you with that inviting green gaze.
For a moment, he doesn't know how to respond. His fingers work on their own, threading through your smooth locks. The smallest smile begins to crinkle at the corner of his eyes.
"Well, hell, angel," he huffs, slightly impressed. He thinks he wants to wrap you up in his flannel and keep you hidden away from the rest of the world. His to cherish, his to learn and love, only his. "You sure you're not a mind reader?"
You smile, cheeks pink. It's only been a few weeks since you discovered the wonders of makeup, but Dean's convinced you're going to overload on that pretty new blush. "I don't have to read your mind. I can see you, Dean. Really you, all of you."
Everything about this situation is entirely unfamiliar to him. He doesn't know if it's your grace that enables you to see right through him, or if his actions truly make his feelings that obvious to you.
He shakes his head, reaching out to cup your face in his hands â and his touch? It's soft.
"Yeah?"
His voice is low, his thumbs brushing over your cheeks, your skin so flawless that it makes him nervous. Then he's leaning down, lips hovering over yours before he closes the distance.
It doesn't matter to him that the angle is awkward â it's not like you would know any better. Plus, he thinks you're gorgeous, even when you're upside-down.
This kiss isn't the first, but it may as well be. You taste just as sweet as you did then.
You let your eyes flutter shut, still trying to grasp the concept of this kind of intimacy. You appreciate the way he keeps things gentle, simply a ghost of his lips against yours.
You part with a quiet sound, and then a beat of silence passes. Dean doesn't want to scare you off, and you don't want the moment to end.
He watches for your reaction, wanting to know that he's not overstepping.
He's about to say something when suddenly, you shift. You sit up, picking your head up from his lap and turning to settle on your shins, kneeling in front of him.
It should be him in that position, he thinks â praying to you, for you, worshipping everything that you are because damnit, you make him a better man.
When you speak, your sweet voice echoes in his ears. "Dean?"
"Angel," he answers.
He tries to make sense of your neutral expression, but you've got the best unintentional poker face he's ever seen. It warms his heart. One day, he'll have to teach you how to use that to your advantage.
You reach out, placing your hands on his knees. "Do you feel holy?"
That hits him right in the chest. "That's a loaded question," he says, a light chuckle accompanying his words.
He swallows, hesitant to be completely honest. He wants to shy away, to brush off the question and silence you with his lips instead, but your eyes are so curious when you look at him that he's compelled to respond.
So he thinks.
Does he feel holy?
The short answer is no, he doesn't. Dean Winchester doesn't feel holy. He's been neglected by God and burned by angels he once thought were on his side more times than he can count. He doesn't bother having faith anymore.
But he's seen things differently ever since you came along, winged and divine and all. You've made him a believer, a follower â not of Heaven, but of you. He means it when he says you could have him on his knees if you asked.
"Am I⌠allowed to say that it's complicated?" he eventually mutters. He hasn't let himself be vulnerable like this in a long, long time. His eyes flit across your face, searching for something, but he doesn't know what.
When you give him a nod, he feels relieved, even though he doesn't doubt that you'd be supportive no matter what his answer was.
"Yes," you tell him. Your palms still rest on his knees, offering him a stabilizing comfort. "I understand."
You don't pry any further. It's so clear that he's letting you in, he's letting himself be vulnerable with you, and that's enough. He's tense, but with one look at you, it all fades away.
You really are an angel, he thinks. Definitely too good for him, but you're here and you're staying.
Dean can't resist the urge to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear, touching you like you're the most precious thing he's ever held. Maybe you are, he realizes.
He dips his head, his lips finding yours again in a kiss that's careful but certain. As they did earlier, his fingers slide into your hair, and you feel safe here. You're tethered to him in such a meaningful, intimate way. It feels like a prayer and a promise.
The kiss lingers, but he never takes it too far. He's afraid to break you.
That's why he's gentle when he pulls you up from your knees, guiding you into his lap. One of his hands smooths down your arm, stopping at your fingers to interlace them with his own.
He's well aware of how different this is than anything he's used to, but he needs to do this for you. He wants to show you that you're right about him.
"Guess you've really got me down, angel," he murmurs, his lips brushing against yours.
He smiles. You're his soft spot.
reblogs and feedback are greatly appreciated! still in the process of setting up my account but definitely open to making a taglist!

âŚâĄâŚ Rainy Mornings âŚâĄâŚ
Katakuri x Fem!Reader [AO3 Link] Description: On a cozy, rainy morning, you and Katakuri spend some time together in bed. Tags: Morning sex, Sleepy sex, Quickie, Hand job, Kata & Reader are married, Size difference (Reader is slightly sized up to better fit Kata), 18+ MDNI Words: 751 âË âżď¸ľâżď¸ľâżď¸ľŕ¨ŕ§ ¡ ¡ ⥠¡ ¡ ŕ¨ŕ§âżď¸ľâżď¸ľâżď¸ľ Ëâ
A distant rumble of thunder brought you out of your sleep this morning. As you rubbed the sleep from your eyes, you could hear the sound of rain outside. It made you not want to get out of bed and just stay nice and cozy but there were things do be done. You started to sit up to get out of bed when large arms wrapped around you, dragging you to the massive, warm form of your husband.Â
âNot yet.â You heard Katakuri grumble above you and it seemed like he had the same thought as you. You snuggled your face into his chest, the two of you now laying on your sides towards each other. Being in his arms on a rainy morning like this was absolutely perfect.Â
Maybe you could wait a little longer to get the day started. Â
He gripped you tighter so your bodies pressed together more and you felt his arousal against you. Â
Perhaps you could wait quite a while longer to get the day started. Â
You pulled slightly away from him to trace your fingers along the lines of his tattoos. He sighed contently at your touch and your fingers followed those pink lines down to waistband of his sweat pants. Using one hand to tug down the front of his sweat pants, you started to stroke his large shaft using the other. Â
He choked out a gasp at your actions and it only fueled you to keep going. Your hand went up and down his cock, earning soft groans from your husband. You looked up at him and could see him staring down at you, a blush on his face, his eyebrows knitted together, panting slightly. Â
Seeing him like this made pressure start to build in your lower stomach. It was a favorite sight of yours - your big, strong husband a whimpering, blushing mess and all because of you. Â
After a few more minutes of stroking him, you pulled your hand away to then put it on his hip. You pulled him towards you as you rolled onto your back and he followed your lead. Katakuri was now hovering above you, your legs lazily wrapped around his hips. One hand braced near your head resting on the pillows, he used his other to take off his pants. You pulled your nightie over your head, the two of you now fully naked together.Â
Katakuri dipped his head down to kiss you gently. The two of you long ago had found a way to kiss without his fangs harming you and you adored kissing this man. Wrapping your arms around his neck, you deepened the kiss as he lined himself up with your entrance. Â
As he slowly entered you, you gasped against his lips and his tongue invaded your mouth. You moaned around his tongue and the two of you sloppily made out as he thrusted into you, stretching your pussy around his large cock. The stretch quickly turned from slight discomfort into pleasure as he lazily rocked his hips. Â
While you loved how fast and passionate your usual sex with him was, this slow, sleepy sex was just right for this rainy morning. Â
He reached his hand in between the two of you and rubbed his thumb against your clit. You broke away from the kiss to throw your head back and moan loudly. Katakuri moved his lips down to your neck to begin kissing and gently nipping there, still slightly hovering above your body so he didnât crush you. Â
His attention all over you had you panting and clawing at his back. Â
âYes, yes, yes.â You breathily moaned, already feeling your orgasm building. With your nails digging into his back and you trying to rock your hips to match his pace, Katakuri knew you were close. Â
âCome for me, baby.â He whispered against your neck. The soft command made you come undone and you arched your back, letting out a cry as your orgasm ripped through you. Your moans rang through your bedroom and Katakuri was not far behind you. With a few more thrusts, he groaned loudly and he filled you up with his cum. Â
The two of you laid there in silence for a moment, just trying to catch your breaths. You released your nails from his back and moved your hands to caress the back of his head and neck. He sighed softly against the skin of your neck and gave you another gentle kiss.Â
Yeah, the day could definitely wait.Â
#happy friday!#been kinda mia cause of family visiting these past few weeks but now i'm back!#also i do intend to write some katakuri smut with reader being normal human size one day but i'm still building myself up to it!!#my fanfics#katakuri smut#katakuri x reader#katakuri one piece#charlotte katakuri#one piece x reader#one piece fanfiction#one piece imagines

They already knows [Rebuild of Evangelion, Ayanami Rei/Shikinami Asuka Langley]
Read on Ao3
Read on Squidgeworld
Read here on tumblr:
I'm Asuka. I've been Rei's partner for years. I'm madly in love with her but I haven't told her I'm non-binary. I'm afraid it would put an end to our relationship. Yet I can't hide it from her forever. So, over a meal, I plan to tell her my gender identity but Rei interrupts me.
âI already know, dear Asuka. I am also non-binary.â
âHOW?â
I couldn't help but raise my voice. I've been worried about losing sie all this time and hir is non-binary! Then I started laughing.
âIs everything all right?â My lover asks.
âYes, yes, everything's ok. It's just... ironic, don't you think so?â
Rei laughs as well. The rest of the meal is spent in good spirits.

nurse Ἅᥠa.ness
alexis ness gets injured from soccer. kaiser taking him home, he spends the day under your care
đđđđđđ đđ
đđđđ fill the room, the soccer player has yet to get comfortable on his couch. His right leg propped up after suffering a terrible injury. Kaiser just stands there, staring at his misery, bouncing his leg up and down impatiently.
âWhen are they gonna come?â The blue haired man asked, âWaiting all day isnât exactly my specialty, Alexis.â
The shorter man quickly comes to your defense. Forgetting his injury, he abruptly gets up, but he then almost screams in pain with the stress on his knee. Keys then fiddle with the door outside, prompting Kaiser to dash to the location. You sprint pass the tall man to get to (your favorite) German. Kneeling in front of the couch, you examine his knee with concern.
âAre you okay? I heard a noise from outside.â You question your lover.
He grunts for a moment but responds with that sweet voice of his, âOf course, meine hĂźbsche.â (my pretty)
You give a small chuckle as you stare at his leg more intently, using your experience as a nurse to tend to your boyfriend. You ask the normal questions; did you take your medicine, howâs the pain 1-10, etc. After caring for your partner, you notice a tall figure still standing in front of the door.
âThis is disgusting, Iâm leaving.â Is all Kaiser said before he makes his departure. You have no idea how your angel of a boyfriend ever even liked that demon. Not trying to toot your own horn here but⌠you like to say you take much better care of him than Kaiser ever will.
âYou okay, beautiful?â Ness asked, it only melts your heart more. This guy could literally beat up a person and you would just stare with big red hearts as eyes, it was so cartoonish your love for him. What was even more silly was his love for you. He would turn the world upside down, left and right, and end it if you gave him the word. It truly came out of a fairytale â his everlasting love for you. Some called it like a dog and master, but it was much more. If it truly was dog and master, you would be the unconditional loving dog who worshiped Ness, you would do just as crazy a thing for him just as he would for you. It was a mutual insane obsession, some might call it unhealthy, you guys called it love.
You only smile at him and give a chaste kiss to his cute forehead, making sure to get straight in the middle. You travel over to your kitchen â one that you rarely used when Ness is over as he always suggested going on a date to a fancy restaurant, but now here you are making your best to imitate the cuisine from his favorite German restaurant. If Ness was gonna spend the next couple weeks on your couch, isolated from the world, he was gonna get the best food he got since his birth.
You sang delightfully in tune with the song, Chemtrails Over the Country Club by Lana del Rey played on the speaker. Cooking some meat, Ness layed there, staring at the most ethereal person attempt to cook him a five star meal (you would fail but he wouldnât tell you). God he wish he could capture this moment on his camera so he could keep a physical copy, but he supposes a phone will do.
After eating a sweet treat for dessert (which ended up being ice cream because somehow you fucked up the original dessert). You hold Ness on your shoulder, traveling to your room so you have easier access to him in the middle of the night. Unsurprisingly being extremely heavy, it takes a while before you settle your boyfriend on the bed.
âWait here, I have to get the kit.â You state before heading to the restroom. It only takes a few seconds but you come back with gauze and other materials to rebandage the injury. No words are said as you focus on his knee, with the silence saying everything that's needed. Ness once again oogles at your focused state, making him question if he should visit you at work more often. Phantom hearts fill his eyes, thoughts of you caring for him, this time with a ring on your finger flood his mind. He wonders if he should start getting injured more â but then you would have to worry more and he doesnât want that. However, seeing you here, with the soft orange light from the lamp capturing your features beautifully. He feels like home here, maybe he will move in with you next month. After all, no house is a home without your presence to warm it.
Putting the kit back, you come back to bed with pajamas. You guys set your TV on a show, and although you donât particularly find it entertaining, hearing Ness laugh next to you is a more than good enough reason to keep it running.
And when the lights go off, when itâs just you two in the dark in your bed â that's when most of the memories happen, the talks, the jokes, the moments of adoration of the other, where one could stare at the otherâs resting figure and recollect the day. Where you two laugh at Nessâs new lockscreen of you cooking peacefully in the kitchen.

á´á´á´É˘Ęá´ ÉŞÉ´ á´Ęá´ á´á´á´á´É´á´? â§Ë° bf!riki x gf!reader â§Ë° tw: kissies, cuddles, mention of stress, reader is said to be short but that could literally js mean shorter than him, and only sorta maybe perhaps a little kinda self indulgent bc i want a riki ^^ a little disclaimer: idk if riki listens to all of these, as they just come off of my playlist !
your desk is covered in pens, pencils, sticky notes and other supplies. ah yes, another paper, but this time you finished in time. previously you were worrying about getting in on time and if you did it right. will the professor think its good? will i get a good grade? i hope i didnt mess up
all of these thoughts crowded your mind for days maybe even weeks. it brought you tears and pride. the final paper you so horridly dreaded now turned in as you leave your desk, not bothering to clean it up. you walk over to your bf, who was busy playing league on the couch, that filled up, almost, the entire room.
you plop down next to him, leaning on his shoulder. his scent intoxicating you, god, how you missed it for the last 3 hours. "you done pretty girl?" he asks, though not looking down, too focused on his game. you only nod. minutes pass and youre still cuddled up to him. soon enough, he turns the tv off and turns toward you, fully sideways. he lets himself fall back onto the couch, allowing you to fall w him.
a giggle leaves his pretty lips, as you fall on top of him. the couch cant fit the both of you so he improvised. you lay your head on his shoulder, almost his clavicle. you lightly peck the skin-exposed by his black hoodie-covered by pretty moles. "youre squishing me!" "shhh this was all you" he sighs in defeat. "lets go to the bed then" you sigh, not wanting to move.
on the bed, you two lay on your backs, close together. something about his calm presence when you two are in bed, ready to fall asleep, is so comforting. maybe it was his scent, as mentioned, its intoxicating, almost dizzying. or maybe his giant figure next to yours, offering a sense of protection. maybe his soft breaths as he lays down, scrolling tiktok, not quite ready to sleep, yet.
"baby, baby!" he perks up, seeing a video "hm?" you respond, on the verge of falling asleep. your eyelids droopy. "lets make a playlist and take turns adding songs!" you giggle as you hear the idea, finding it quite endearing. you nod in agreement. he opens his laptop and pulls up spotify.
tapping the plus, he creates a new playlist. "what should we name it?" he asks, trying to complete the first step. "mmmm idk, something short but cute" he types in your name to tease you. "hey!" "what?? you said short and cute!" he deletes the name, trying to think of a new one.
"wait! ki! yk the song tell my momma by kard?" you have an idea, hoping its a good one. "uhm i know OF it, why?" "how bout we put 'ill do anything to make our love last long'?" you suggest a long but sweet lyric "baby, thats corny" "so is making a playlist tgt" silence. "ugh ig ure right" you giggle and he puts down the lyric.
"ok songs, you add one first" he pushes the laptop your way and you think for a moment you add the first song, every kind of way by h.e.r, he smiles seeing the song. he takes his turn "where is love" by 3house. your turn again, "wa-r-r" by colde. his turn again, "someone like u" by lullaboy "infranumi" by steve lacy, "pink+white" by frank ocean. "seasons" by wave to earth, "3:00 am" by finding hope it goes back and forth adding songs and laughing
once you two finish, he shuts the laptop, reaching over to set it down. he turns to his side to grab you and pull you close to him. his arms wrapping around you. he presses a little kiss to your lips saying goodnight.

Speedy (Mia Dearden), one of Green Arrow's sidekicks, skipped over to Jason Todd with remarkable lack of stealth. Jason remembered the woman and took a cautious step back worried she was going to attack him.
Mia flashed a bright smile, looking him up and down before gripping his hand tightly.
Mia: You're my friend now! We're having fish tacos together!
Jason (trying to break free): What? What? I want fish tacos, but what's happening?
Mia: You're my new guy friend, and I want to steal you away from Roy for a bit!
Jason: Oh⌠Roy, help!
Mia: I'm taking your friend boy, Roy! We'll return later!
Mia kept walking, dragging a bewildered Jason along with her. Roy watched, unsure of how to react for a few seconds, before quickly running after them while Lian happily enjoyed her ice cream sundae.
Roy: Hey! Hey, he's my friend!
Lian: Iâll eat the rest of the ice cream, Dad!

inspired by this request (thank you @ftdtkatie and welcome back queen). harry and mia post wedding reception. smut but it's not really detailed innit. 2.7k words. more harry and mia here
***
When Harry finally untangles himself from her, Mia steps into the hotel room, twirling the key around her finger. âWow,â she murmurs, reaching for the light switch. âThis is ⌠wow.â
Harryâs back to nuzzling against her neck, arms around her again. âOnly the best for you.â
Mia suppresses her shudder, tossing the keys onto the entrance table. She lets Harry turn her around and press her against the door, his mouth on hers before she can squint up at him.
âWife,â he says again, softly, against her mouth. âMy wife.â
Her fingers grip his shirt. The blazer is long gone, sleeves rolled up to his elbows to show his strong arms, tattoos, and watch. The soft overhead light above accentuates the shine of the ring on her finger. She wiggles her fingers and Harry laughs softly, covering her left hand with his own.Â
âAre you happy, Mia?â he whispers, using his other hand to pull her chin up. âWas everything perfect today?â
Mia leans her head back on the door and stares up at him. The glow of the candles to the right of him illuminates half of his handsome face. Heâs smiling down at her, dimples on either side of his cheek, breathing softly. His lips are slightly swollen from all the kisses theyâve exchanged today.Â
âI have never been happier,â Mia says so quietly that itâs nearly inaudible. âAnd you?â
Harry ducks his head down and kisses her fully, holding her head against the door. âYouâve no idea, Mia,â he whispers. âI donât think youâll ever know.â
She breaks her hand out of his and loops her arms around his shoulder. Harryâs eyes shine when he pulls back from the kiss, cheeks a gentle pink. He leans down and picks her up from under her knees, cradling her against his torso. Mia laughs and holds onto him tighter. Harry walks them further into the room, giving her a tour of the place with careless motions. âThatâs the dining. The bathrooms. The bar. The fridge.â
Then he stops at the bed, carefully toeing off his shoes and climbing into it on his knees. He swings her carefully and then lays her in the middle of the bed.
Mia stretches cat-like, back sinking into the mattress. âOh, thatâs so nice.â
Harry smiles, sitting down, leaning on his outstretched palm. His eyes twinkle with amusement, watching her stretch her arms out above her head. âIsnât it? My backâs been hurting something fierce too.â
She shakes her ankles out, catching Harryâs attention. âTry walking around in these.â
âYouâre right.â He catches one of her ankles and starts to undo the buckle. âTorture devices.â
âNow youâre understanding.â
Harry drops the shoe and works on the other one. He massages her heel gently, forcing a groan of relief out of Mia who stares up at the ceiling. When Harryâs hand starts trailing upwards and under her dress, she grins and raises her head, pushing up onto her ankles. âWhat are you doing?â
Harry bends down to kiss her calves and knees, warm hands holding her as if sheâll break. âSit up, baby. Letâs get your hair down.â
Mia does so, with help from Harry tugging on her hands, and then he sits behind her with his own tie undone and shirt halfway unbuttoned. For the reception, she kept her hair braided and up, so itâs unsurprising that by the time Harryâs done unleashing her hair, there are at least 25 pins sitting in her lap. His nimble fingers run through her hair to get rid of any hairspray, the soft hidden strands from within her bun falling in loose waves around her face. Harry holds her chin as he kisses her again. âSo pretty,â he murmurs, lips sliding down to her neck. âWanna get out of the dress?â
âMhmm.â
He undoes the zipper and pats her thigh to get her to stand. The dress falls to her feet. Harry leans back on his palms again, biting the inside of his cheek to hide his smile. âYou are so pretty, Mia.â
Itâs stupid how Mia suddenly feels nervous. Sheâs not supposed to feel this way â sheâs had sex with Harry likely a thousand times now. But thereâs something about the way she stands before him in the â very meticulously picked out, thank you very much â bra and underwear set, his eyes drinking her in, though his smile really only widens when he sees the emotion in her eyes.
With his hand outstretched, he beckons her forward. As if a puppet on a string, she shuffles back to him, sitting in his lap.
He kisses her again and again, sighing and licking into her mouth with a surprising amount of gentleness that makes Miaâs throat close.Â
âAre you tired? Sleepy? Hungry?â
Mia kisses him back, gripping the back of his neck. âIâve got other things on my mind.â
He hums, drawing back to look at her face. âIâll order food now so itâs ready by the time weâre done.â
Her fingers walk down his collarbones, lips pursed. âDone with what?â she says innocently, because even though sheâs nervous, that wonât stop her from being annoying. âWhat do you think weâre about to do, mister?ââ
Harry kisses her once more. âYou know damn well what weâre going to do.â Then he leans over and grabs the phone, balancing her into his lap as he does. âWhat do you think youâll be in the mood for?â
Mia rests her head on his shoulder, pressing her hips against his. He takes a shuddering breath that makes her smile. âA burger.â
âFries?â
âNah.â
âAnything else? Dessert?â
âNo cake, please. Iâve had too much today.â
âAlright, baby.â
She listens to him dial and wait for the desk to answer. His voice rumbles under her ear. He finishes his list of late night dining food with â...and if you could, a bowl of strawberries for dessert. Thanks.â
Mia lifts her head to grin at him when he puts the phone down. âSo romantic.â
âShould have made them chocolate covered,â Harry says with a frown.Â
She kisses him, throwing all her might into it, which effectively catches Harry off guard. Instead of catching her, he falls onto his back, his hair in his face as she swings a leg over his waist and straddles him. The undone tie comes off first, flying behind her, and Harryâs laughing as she works on the rest of his buttons.Â
âWhat do we have â T-minus twenty minutes?â
âThirty, likely.â
âEnough time, Iâd say.â
Harry reaches up and squishes her cheeks together. âOh yeah?â he mimics. âWhat do you think weâre about to do, huh?â
Mia tries to bat his hands away but he only squishes harder. She crosses her arms over her barely dressed torso and says, âYouâre being horny. Iâm being practical. Donât you know that a lack of consummation is grounds for annulment?â
Harry throws his head back and snorts. âThereâs absolutely no way you just said consummation.â
âItâs a real thing.â
âIâm pretty sure weâve consummated our relationship to keep us afloat for a good decade.â
âOh, so youâre saying you want an annulment?â
Harry bites on his inner cheek. âItâs a bit early for divorce jokes, no?â
âAnnulment, not divorce.â
âWhatever.â He raises his head and smiles up at her. âMia.â
âYeah?â
âWhy are you shaking?â His hands come up around her, yanking her down with him so she lays flat on his chest. He rubs her arms, but the shivering doesnât stop. âBaby.â
âIs it stupid that Iâm actually, you know, nervous-excited?â
âExcited, I understand. Being nervous, though, is interesting.â
âYouâre not nervous?â
âTo..to have sex?â Harry asks, slightly bewildered. âNot really.â
Mia rolls her eyes. âI donât think itâs the sex that's making me nervous. I donât know what it is. Just all the excitement and all of today, maybe. I think Iâm having a sugar crash. Yeah, thatâs what this feels like. But I also donât want the day to end because Iâm having so much fun. Itâs surreal, but Iâm also in the moment. Itâs weird. I donât know.â
She knows sheâs rambling a bit, but itâs hard to stop once sheâs started and Harryâs looking at her with just a fond smile, sheâs not sure if heâs actually listening or just admiring her face.
âI know itâs a lot to process,â Harry says once heâs done staring at her. âHonestly, my love, if you just wanna crash for the night, we can do that. Like I said, weâve consummated enough timesââ
âIâm really starting to dislike the way you say that wordââ
â--so we can just get our clothes off and go to sleep.â
Mia frowns deeply. âNo way Iâm sleeping without banging you within an inch of your life, Harry.â
âRomantic.â He sits up and brings her along. âMia.â He waits for her to look at him. âYouâre in charge tonight. Whatever you want goes.â
âReally?â
âReally.â
A look of determination slots onto her face. âAlright.â
The kiss is gentle, but thereâs an underlying urgency in it. The way she presses her hips to his again suggests sheâs done with the chatter, and when his large hands grab her waist and pull on her, she softly sighs into his mouth.
Harry â to be plain â has been hard since the moment Mia looked at him at the reception half an hour ago and said itâs time to leave. Heâd been waiting for her signal, and now theyâre here, Mia sprawled on top of him, thighs around his waist, and her mouth hot on his. Her hands push off his shirt, tossing it aside just as Harryâs fingers twist off the clasp of her bra.
She shivers as the straps fall from her shoulders, and Harry leans in to pepper kisses to her chest. She holds him close, cradling his head, and throwing her own head back with a satisfied hum. His lips find the column of her throat next, the back of her ear, her temple, her nose. He twists them over so that he lays on top of her, and she gives in to his heady kisses.
His hands slide down her sides, fingers catching onto the band of her underwear, and he pulls away to look at her. Itâs always been what he does, Mia thinks, as his eyes search for visible agreement. She nods at him, raising her hips to help him. His dimples return and the last of her garment is tossed away.
âNot fair,â Mia murmurs, dragging her nails down his abs. He tightens the muscles to prevent being tickless. âTake yours off too.â
Harry works on his belt while Mia watches with heavy eyes. Once his trousers are gone, he fits himself between her legs and sighs at the contact of their skin.
She loves the weight of him on top of her, just shy of crushing her lungs. His soft skin against hers, simply absorbing heat.Â
âNothing else,â Mia says, getting comfortable under him. âWe can do the other stuff later. Just want you inside of me right now.â
Harry smiles. âYou know me too well.â
âI can tell by that evil look that youâre about to use your mouth, but I mean it,â Mia giggles, and he kisses her neck as his hands slowly part her legs. His fingers slide through, gently pressing one finger at her entrance. He pushes in and listens to her whimper before adding another. And when she whimpers again, he kisses her so he can swallow the noises and savor them.Â
âHarry, ah please just â yeah. Just⌠yes. Yes.â
He lines himself up and carefully begins to enter her. Itâs always this way, no matter if theyâve previously decided to be rough. He watches her face contort with pleasure, her mangled whine blending in with his deep groan. The feel of her walls invites him, warm and comforting.
âI love you,â Harry murmurs against her mouth, arms braced beside her head. Her eyes flicker up at him, a beginning of a flush blossoming on her face. âYou are everything. Do you understand? Everything.â
His thrusts are shallow at first, but once he hears her throaty moan, he pulls her closer to him and presses deeper. She makes the prettiest sounds as he quickens his pace, eyes never leaving hers.Â
âWife,â he marvels, causing Mia to whine and throw her arms around him. Her sharp nails dig into his shoulders. âI love you. I love you.â
All of Miaâs nervousness, or whatever you would call it, melts away. Instead, she looks up at her husband in awe. Only the two of them know how far theyâve come. Nobody else but Mia sees the way Harryâs eyes take her in, how his heart beats to the syllables of her name, how his hands cup her face as if sheâs the most precious thing heâs ever laid eyes on.
And in his most vulnerable moment too. Nobody sees Harry the way he is now, spread out and bare in front of her, broken down to the point where she can see every molecule of him. His fears, his fierce way of loving, his stubbornness, his protectiveness.Â
Itâs all hers.Â
She holds him closer, emotion in her throat causing her to moan lowly, nails still pressing into his skin.
It doesnât take long for either of them to announce their impending orgasm, but Harry goes first, and then, with the help of his thumb against her clit, she follows, hot pleasure running down her spine like electricity. Heâs holding her in his arms when sheâs coming down from that high, mumbles soft words against her hair.
âI love you,â Mia whispers, and that doesnât even begin to cover it.
Harryâs lips twist into a smile and he runs his palms over her eyes. âI love you.â
âIâm crying?â
âA little, my love.â
His own eyes are looking misty again.
âSorry. Donât know why Iâd be crying right now.â
He shakes his head. âDonât apologize.â He starts sliding down her body, and she only realizes what heâs doing when his head is between her legs and his tongue is darting out to give her a gentle lick.
Mia hisses, yanking on his hair. âGive me a bloody minute, would you?â
He rests his head on her thigh and waits exactly one minute before he returns to his spot and licks into her.
Despite the lack of rest, Miaâs riding out another orgasm on his tongue within minutes, the tears in her eyes now from oversensitivity. Sheâs pushing him away frantically, trembling when he emerges while wiping the corners of his mouth, grinning. His hair is a mess, curtains around his brows, and his eyes filled with delight.
Heâs so fucking handsome.
âYou just canât help yourself,â Mia says, barely able to manage a whisper.
âYou taste so good, I really canât.â
Before he returns to lay next to her, he finds his white shirt and helps her into it. Sheâs shivering again, still from excitement it seems, and when he finds his place beside her, she immediately snuggles into him. Mia takes exaggerated inhales to breathe in his scent, and Harry simply cards his clean fingers through her hair.Â
Itâs nearing two in the morning now, but unlike before, Miaâs wide awake. Harryâs eyes are closed, she sees when she glances at him, but he doesn't seem to be asleep. She presses even closer to him, throwing the blanket over his lower half to keep him from getting cold.
When the food arrives, itâs Mia that wraps her robe around herself and takes it in while Harry yawns and struggles to sit up. They go for the strawberries first, both of them sitting in white robes on the edge of the bed, shoulders brushing against one another. He pours her some champagne and blinks at her when she tells him sheâs barely had a sip of water today.
And when Harry wipes the strawberry residue from Miaâs mouth and drags her in for a deep kiss, Miaâs heart just about explodes with happiness. Harry smiles into the kiss and holds her tighter.Â
She leans into his strong frame, breathing him in again.
Everything is good.

Doting
Summary:Â When Mia's sudden stomach pain turns out to be appendicitis, the Cullen family's doting nature comes out. Takes place pre-Twilight/ Bella, but not by much (it's the same school year).
Characters: All of the Cullens are present, but focus is mainly on Carlisle Cullen, Esme Cullen, Edward Cullen & Mia Cullen (OC)
Content Warnings: medical stuff - ER visit, appendicitis, appendectomy, surgery recovery
Twilight (Mia Cullen) Masterlist
It was usually Carlisle and Edward who monitored the majority of Miaâs medical needs. It was Carlisle and Edward who did the assessing and diagnosing, determining the need for a visit to her pediatrician or the emergency room. Determining what could and should be cared for by them at home, knowing that she received a fair bit more at-home care than most children did because most kids didnât have a father and brother with medical degrees. Most kids didnât have so many people paying such close attention. Most people didn't have so many people close who cared and had the ability to see in one way or another what was going on...
Most people didn't have a Carlisle or an Edward, with their medical degrees and their decades of experience and knowledge.
Most people didn't have an Alice who had visions of the future or a Jasper who could sense moods.
But even so, it had been Esme and her motherâs intuitionâher thorough knowledge of her youngest childâwho figured out something was wrong with their Mia.
Mia had been quiet when she came home from school, slightly withdrawn as she went through the motions of saying goodbye to her siblings before they left for their hunting trip. No one questioned the behavior. Mia understood why she couldnât go, but she was always a bit disappointed when the others left her behind anyway.
She first mentioned the stomach ache after they left, declining dinner and informing Esme that her stomach had been off all day. Mia figured it had just been nerves about the science test that was worth 40% of her grade this quarter, and when the test had passed but the unease in her stomach didnât dissipate, Mia assumed she had caught a bug. It seemed likelyâit was flu season after all.Â
But the flu didnât feel like this. It could be awful, sure, but the persistent pain Mia had feltâŚshe knew it was something more. And it was something she couldnât hide or explain away. She was in enough pain that she didnât even care to hide it from her mother. Mia was in enough pain that she didnât fight when Esme announced that they needed to go to the hospital.Â
Mia only braced herself against the pain as her mother situated her in the front seat of the car, too engrossed in her discomfort, too desperate for relief to even be bothered about where they were going.Â
It was Carlisleâs new resident, a bright-eyed young woman who grew up and attended college and medical school on the other side of the country, moving to Forks 6 months ago for her training, who greeted them and examined Mia while Carlisle was busy treating a farmer who had the misfortune of having his arm stuck in a piece of farm equipment.Â
It was the resident who endured Miaâs screams as she gently pressed her fingers to Miaâs stomach. It was the resident who had studied the sonogram images of Miaâs abdomen. It was the resident who explained to Esme and Mia the diagnosis and the prognosis and the next steps. It was the resident who prescribed some pain killers while they waited.
Mia was resting by the time Carlisle was able to get away, curled into the fetal position with her head in Esmeâs lap, both of them huddled in the hospital bed.
Carlisle kissed his wife and stroked a cool thumb across his daughterâs flushed cheek before pulling the chart from the end of the bed. He had already been briefed, but he liked to see the blood work for himself. Liked to see her vitals. Liked to be sure for himself even though he trusted his residentâs assessment.Â
As soon as the appendicitis was diagnosed, they started the medicationsâantibiotics to fight the infection and pain killers to help keep her comfortable.Â
Carlisle knew his daughter would be fine. They had caught it before the appendix ruptured. She would have a quick surgery and head home. She would recover and have little to show for the whole ordeal aside from a memory and a small scar that would fade to nothing over time.Â
âSheâll be okay,â Carlisle said, unsure if the assurance was more for himself or for his wife. âFlanders is a terrific surgeon.âÂ
Esme nodded at her husband before looking back to their daughter, smoothing back the sweaty hair on Miaâs forehead. Esme had been so grateful when Mia fell asleep, so grateful for the speed with which the IV-administered pain medication had swarmed her daughterâs system, swiftly easing Miaâs torment. But there was a fear that still refused to budge, a worry that had settled itself in Esmeâs heart and every fiber of her being.Â
Carlisle pulled her to his side and kissed his wifeâs forehead, careful that the movement didnât disturb their sleeping child. Carlisle knew the words wouldnât be enough to soothe Esme.Â
The wordsâŚThe knowledge that she would be fineâŚThat an appendectomy was standardâŚeasyâŚNone of that had soothed him either.Â
The only thing that would offer any relief was seeing their child on the other side of this.
â
The surgery was laparoscopic. Minimally invasive. No complications. She was discharged home on the same day from the recovery room with discharge notes and a prescription for pain medication.Â
Mia was asleep on the couch, settled between Esme and Carlisle when the front door burst open, Edward emerging with a wild look in his eye. It was a full minute before Alice caught up.
âSheâsââ
âI sawââ Alice began, the words caught in her throat as the vision sheâd seen flashed in her memory again. Edward swallowed as it washed over his mind as well.Â
âSheâs fine,â Carlisle said, his gaze drifting towards the front door as Rose, Jasper, and Emmett came into the room. âOur Mia had appendicitis, but your mother spotted it in time and sheâs healing.âÂ
Carlisleâs words and the sight of their sister sleeping peacefully brought some reliefâCarlisle could see the slight change in each of his children as they integrated the information, taking in his assurances.Â
Even so, he extricated himself from the sofa and crossed the room to pull her discharge papers from his bag. He wordlessly passed them to his son for review before glancing back at Mia.Â
Jasper stood a ways back, but the others had taken up the space Carlisle had vacated, crowding around Mia as she continued to sleep.Â
She would be fine. More than fine. While she recovered, she would be cared for and doted on almost too well. She would receive far better care than any hospital could offer.
Carlisle had taken a few days off from the hospital to be with her, but he knew it wasnât truly warranted. Mia had more than enough volunteers ready to help nursing her back to health.Â
âShe should be up and moving soon,â Edward murmured as he looked over the papers. âEven if she doesnât want to be.âÂ
Carlisle nodded.
âShe did a little walking at the hospital before they released her.âÂ
âHow did she do?âÂ
Carlisle answered through a glance and a small smirk that told Edward his sister had been full of complaints through every step she took.
âYour sister is a terrible patient.â
âAnd theyâll do nothing but enable her,â Edward said, nodding toward the others.Â
âA little doting wonât hurt her,â Carlisle mused, knowing that he planned to dote a little himself. He glanced at Edward. âYou were able to go hunting?âÂ
âBarely,â Edward answered, his gaze moving to Jasper who was still at the edge of the room and keeping a distance. âThe others should head back out.â
âAnd you?â Carlisle asked.Â
âIâll be fine,â Edward answered. âIâll stay.âÂ
Carlisle snorted softly. âGo hunt, son.â Carlisle took back the discharge papers.Â
âI shouldââ
âYour sister is safe,â Carlisle interrupted. âAnd she'll be asleep for a few hours still. And your mother and I are here with her. Take your siblings back out to hunt.âÂ
Edward looked torn, his dark eyes settled on his sleeping sister. Carlisleâs gaze remained on his son as he watched his sister.Â
You can have a turn doting on her after youâve fed.
Edward glanced at Carlisle. He hadnât said it aloud, but Edward heard it all the same.
The nourishment will help you better navigate the recovery.Â
Carlisle hadnât said it or even thought it, but Edward knew that what Carlisle truly meant was that feeding would give him a little more patience. Feeding would help Edward navigate his sisterâs complaining about getting off the couch and completing her exercises and following the discharge instructions with the least amount of bickering. Feeding would lower the odds of Carlisle and Esme having to play referee.Â
What Edward didnât realize was that Carlisle also meant that before Edward could care for his sister, he needed to care for himself.Â
What Edward didnât realize was that Mia wasnât the only Cullen Carlisle was doting on.Â
Carlisle placed a hand on Edwardâs shoulder, squeezing once before he crossed the room and began the process of ushering his other children from the room, communicating the plan to resume their hunting trip to the others while giving Edward the opportunity to approach Mia and Esme on his own.Â
Esme gave a gentle smile as Edward approached, sitting on the edge of the coffee table in front of them. Edward took the hand Esme offered.
âSheâll be fine,â Esme said. âThey all said the recovery should be simple.âÂ
Edward raised an eyebrow. Esme chuckled, a bit of light entering her eyes for the first time since this ordeal started.Â
âWell, it should be simple when it comes to the medical piece, at least,â she amended.Â
Edward snorted, barely a sound emitted as he did it, but Miaâs eyes fluttered open anyway, locking on him immediately.Â
âEdward?âÂ
Some tension Edward hadnât realized he was holding shifted at hearing her voice. Esme released his hand. âHow are you feeling?â
âLike I got my appendix out,â Mia mumbled, the hint of a smile on her lips though it disappeared as she shifted position, her face suddenly scrunched up as she winced at a lash of pain.Â
âCareful,â Edward said, his hands instinctively shooting forward to steady her.Â
âIâm fine,â she hissed, though she was far from it, a small bead of sweat forming at her hairline and a bit of foggy exhaustion creeping in after just a few minutes awake, after just a few seconds of misguided movement.Â
Edward gave his mother a knowing look and Esme schooled her features, but Mia had somehow caught it, even distracted as she was with her pain.Â
âItâs not funny. I just had surgery andââ
âYouâre awake,â Carlisle said gently and as if it was the best news in the world. He offered a smile to Mia as he approached, his sudden presence easily putting an end to a rant he knew would only rile her up.Â
âEdward, the others are waiting for you,â he said, squeezing Edwardâs shoulder.Â
Edward nodded. âIâll be back soon,â he offered to Mia and Esme before standing and moving slowly towards the front door.Â
âHow are you feeling, sweetheart?â Carlisle asked as he took Edwardâs place on the coffee table.
Edward slowed his steps as he waited to hear Miaâs answer, hoping sheâd give their father a more honest and complete answer than she had given him. There was none of the sarcasm Edward had receivedânone of the bite in her voice eitherâas his sister answered Carlisleâs question with a question, her voice small and timid.Â
âCan I have some ice cream?âÂ
Edward stopped by the front door. His instinct was to return to the livingroom and answer. To interject and relay the instructions heâd just read in the discharge summaryâshe was restricted to clear liquids only for 24 hours post- surgeryâbut Carlisle answered before he could get the words out.Â
âHow about a popsicle?â he offered instead, just as well-versed in his daughter's discharge papers as the son who still lingered by the front door.Â
Edward didnât hear his sisterâs answer, but he heard Carlisle stand and cross the room, a doting sentiment sent his way as Carlisle walked toward the kitchen.Â
Go ahead, son. Sheâll be fine.
