having a gomez and morticia-esque dynamic with his fem overlord s/o hcs ; alastor
requested by ; anonymous (15/02/24)
fandom(s) ; hazbin hotel
fandom masterlist(s) ; here
character(s) ; alastor
outline ; āSo good to have you back!
Can I request Alastair with an fem Overlord! Reader? Like they have a relationship similar to Morticia and Gomez Addams, especially when Mortica says āDonāt torture yourself Gomez, thatās my job.ā Reader is just elegant and classy in a sense with her man šā
note ; there are some potentially (very mildly) ooc bits here and there for the sake of filling the prompt, but otherwise this is exactly what the outline requested as best as i could write it lol ^^
warning(s) ; references to canon-typical levels of violence, but mostly fluff!
the two of you are, to put it bluntly, a match made in hell ā which is rather fitting as your first meeting occurred in hell itself shortly after alastorās reign of terror as āthe radio demonā had first began
very few people are aware that the two of you are in a relationship, or that you know each other at all, and thatās simply because neither of you see the point in broadcasting your attachments and personal lives to the entirety of hell ā your husband may be an egotistical radio broadcaster with a kill count that most sinners can only dream of achieving, but he preferred to keep his private life private and your marriage was just one of those things
(of course rosie is keenly aware of the two of you and teases alastor relentlessly, and lovingly, for how utterly in love with you he is ā but he lets it slide because he knows she means well and wouldnāt dream of causing you harm)
but when youāre together itās plainly obvious, even to those who donāt know you well at all, that the two of you are deeply obsessed with each other ā thatās mainly down to your unusual, and yet somehow not at all surprising for the two of you, displays of affection which most would find deeply off putting
of course your alastor is a gentleman and can appreciate the more traditional romantic displays ā he never fails to greet you with a kiss on the back of your hand and a bouquet of the finest flora hell has to offer, and heās always ready to offer you his jacket if you complain about the weather ā but it doesnāt just stop at those more ānormalā acts (something that you come to be more and more grateful for as your relationship progresses from courting to dating to something resembling marriage without all of the formal paperwork)
there are displays of affection that are more reliant on his more cannibalistic side, for one: diligently licking any and all of your wounds clean whilst earnestly complimenting the rich flavour of your blood (after dealing with whichever poor soul decided to go after you in the first place), talking cheerily about all of the ways heād prepare your flesh if ever you let him (and listening with rapt attention as you discussed your own plans for any errant limbs or slabs of flesh that he may lose in battle), making sure to get to rosieās cafĆØ as early as possible to ensure that you only get the best of your favourite baked treats, and staring hungrily down at you as you gingerly wipe the blood from his lips and cheeks with your fingers and lick them clean in a way that most anyone else would find disturbing
there are shows of love that lean more into your mutual sadistic tendencies: kissing sweetly whilst the blood of your victims is still fresh on your skin and clothes, slow dancing to whatever song heās broadcasting from his radio on top of the corpses of your slain targets, wistfully admiring each other as you rage and show your full demonic forms to anyone who dared to cross you (a precursor for plenty of compliments and private affection later on, iām sure), and you stepping forward and coaxing him out of a violent episode by insisting that he should torture you instead with that sweet tone of voice that you know he canāt say ānoā to
there are acts that are a mixture of the three ā such as you calling each other the sweetest pet names in a mixture of your spoken languages (āloveā, ācherā, ādearestā, etc.) before going on to say something truly monstrous that would have everyone else in earshot staring with a mixture of horror and disgust, or him taking you out to get your tailored clothes repaired since he so loves taking care of you after a spat with another (now likely very dead) overlord left your clothes torn in places and stained with all sorts of viscera
and, of course, amongst all of that you can guarantee that alastor is being nothing short of encouraging, adoring, and protective over you (read: quick to threaten anyone who intends to cause you harm into silence and slaughtering anyone who refuses to comply with that warning) and your honour as you go about your life as an overlord alongside him ā he knows youāre more than capable of taking care of yourself, but he was raised to be a gentleman and heās certainly not going to stop being one just because he happened to go to hell
truly, itās like the two of you were made for each other

Here's more... cuz I realised I'm really good at it š
āØlol
Yama: Many may think he sounds rough while in a way he does... But also he sounds like he's there to take you home. Exactly like your mother who came to take you home after the first day of school when you were anxious. His sound is comforting, it's to guide you back home.
Agni: whatever he speaks, he apeaks with a passion. A passion you'll feel is burning like the sacred flames. It have a certain warmth to it yes. You'll feel the safe fuzzy feeling you get sitting around the campfire. But when he's angry his voice will engulf you whole, give you no spac to escape and burn you fully.
Dyaus: Well... He just sounds... Vast. You'll never figure out where exactly is he speaking from, even if he's standing just infront of you. And you'll also never know which ear you heard him from... Was it left? Or was it right? His voice kinda sounds like an akashvani (lol pun intended) he takes his time while speaking and his tone is unchangeable to say the least.
Alakshmi: She sounds like she's in despair. She sounds hateful, sad and it will give you a sense of emptyness. Like as if you are sure you failed your interview but just the news haven't reached you yet... Anxiety is not the term to explain her voice but it's like that. It's empty, it's hateful. You won't want to listen to her again...
Ashwin Kumars: This two are what you call typical twin voice... They sound so similar yet so different. Their voice is like the soothing ointment you apply on your wounds, a bit straight forward but got a nice comfort to the voice. When they speak to you they speak in sync, completing eachother's sentences... It almost feels as if you just woke up from sleep after a horrible feverish night. You'll automatically feel better if you listen to them.
Vac: She sounds like every and any type of sound you can ever imagine.. You would be utterly confused trying to figure out what exact tone she's speaking in. But at the same time it's easy to understand. As if you're a child who doesn't know how to speak yet... And you're trying to pick up the words your parents are asking you to speak.
Shukra: Knowledged. If anything he sounds knowledged, but also most of the time he sounds strict like a teacher. But when he's not angry he's calm and you'll actually enjoy listening to him. But also like his graha's atmosphere his voice have a certain density to it. As if the dead might rise again listening to him (lmao bad pun sorry)
Ila/Sudyumna: There's a duality in their voice... When he's Sudyumna he sounds regal and poshed just like a prince. With softer tone and sweeter accent. But when Ila, she's a bit rougher.. even if not as royal as her male self, still sweet though.
Yamuna: Her tone is slow and she takes her time speaking just like the Yamuna river, it's sweet and enjoyable to listen... As if a storyteller from some far away land is telling you the tales.
Rudra: Powerful, sharp tone. A bit loud... Kinda like wild animals, but not bad. He speaks fast as if he's a storm or he's in a hurry. His tone will give you the feel of a hunter chasing down it's prey, it's like a lion's cry majestic and can scare you on occasions..
Savitr: His voice is pleasant to hear, a reassuring tone, just like a gaurdian. It's a bit deep and have a heavyness to it, as if protecting you from something... But at the same time it's warm like new sunrays hitting the baby plants on the morning.
Ayyappan: His voice is boyish, and sounds innocent yet as if it holds all the knowledge of this earth. It sounds like the soft jingles of temple bells or the laughter of children running around. It gives a somewhat a sense of nostalgia to you
Shani: Straight forward and sharp. A bit too sharp for liking. Also whenever he speaks it's as if he knows, now what he knows that you'll never know... His voice may sound a bit like, as if he's criticizing you.. which he maybe is. It got both the ability to scare you or make you feel safe.
YOU DID IT AGAIN!
YOU CAPTURED ALL OF THEM SO PERFECTLY. I ESPECIALLY LOVED SHANI'S SJDNEFJN he really be one of those brutally honest dudes lmao

DSMOM - PalmerStrange Rant
One finally I wanna let out. I only just watched this film for the first time last November, so the anger & rant-mode is still fresh in my system compared to folks who ripped this band-aid off 2 years ago when this film came out.
Imo, this movie utterly character assassinated Strange. But the biggest crime is the character assassination the PalmerStrange subplot did to him. And I wanna get out 1 big rant to cover all the cringe & issues I had with this regressive subplot.
First things first, we already see the garbage that is to come at the start of the film. Strange decides to go to Christine's wedding. This by itself is fine since the first film establishes that Christine still cares for Strange as a friend & loved one. Him going to support someone he cares for, perfectly fine.
The issue comes when you have our "hero" attempting to be a homewrecker at his ex's WEDDING RECEPTION!!!!! š¤¬
Gotta show off & flex for her a bit first.
Christine has just told Strange that her husband is a big fan of his.
But why care about that when your first order of business is to try to steal the man's wife AT THEIR WEDDING? I am going to keep emphasizing the bold. Lmao
So Strange goes on his sob story about regretting their failed romance DURING HER WEDDING RECEPTION.
Christine is very patient with him on this nonsense. She never gets short with him and pollitely tells him their relationship was not meant to be despite the fact she is very clearly uncomfortable having to listen to that AT HER WEDDING.
Rather than let it go, Strange has to make things more awkward for both of them by insisting on an elaboration AT HER WEDDING - as if that's gonna change anything at that point.
Christine pollitely gives her answer he insisted on.
Now Strange gets to stand there looking (even more) awkward. But considering the tackiness of this exchange he insisted on, ever bit of his discomfort is deserved. Lol
Now that Christine has admitted she does not love him & never could, he realizes he ain't pulling her and backpedals. Having lost the exchange, he does the ONLY thing he ever should have to begin with & gives her his best wishes, very forcedly, with the fakest smile he could half-ass muster. lol
This entire scene made Strange look pathetic & tacky asf. We're already off to a bad start.
For me, it's hard to give af about rooting for a protagonist who is tacky & desperate enough to harrass his ex ON HER WEDDING DAY about their failed romance from 10 years ago and tries to bag her right after she JUST GOT MARRIED -trying to break up a family that's barely started. Now film opens establishing Strange as a desperate & tacky creep. Lets continue, shall we. š
Later in the film, he & America have officially started their multiversial journey in the 838 universe where we get the memory lane scene and his most important memory is his ex giving him a watch. Remember this. I will be coming back to it later.
After Stranges tries to comfort America about losing her mothers, she asks about Christine whom she knows from Defender Strange. Strange asks America if they were together - again, like that should matter to him. Log this away. It will also come back later.
After being captured by 838 Mordo, Strange comes face to face with 838 Christine who explains the situation. Having his priorities 100% straight, Strange asks the hard-hitting question -
Got a child in danger you claim to wanna protect & a murderous witch after you. But lets focus on what really matters. Anywho Christine gives her answer, which he again awkwardly does not like.
She makes a point to tell him that she doesn't care to know him & whatever she was to him where he came from is moot.
Again, not being able to let it go, his desperate creep ass asks her why.
I guess not being able to understand why a woman he just met doesn't care about his romantic interest. 838 Christine looks like our Christine. But at the end of the day, she isn't. Keep this in mind as well.
Strange gets taken away for judgement by the Illuminati. In this scene we learn that they executed their Strange after he royally screwed up. Xavier shows Strange exactly what happened. Again rather than focus on anything genuinely important, his only concern is he Christine knows - I guess hoping she didn't under belief that she'd enever work for his killers. No luck for him there. lol
No matter what he learns about his variants & potential wrong-doings he could fall prey to, the only concern he ever finds imporant is Christine - somehow he always loops everything back to her.
Lets skip ahead to meeting Sinister Strange where some of my earlier observations come back around.
He meets this variant who asks him to prove he's the real deal. This is where we hear Donna mentioned for the first time (only having this scene because Benedict insisted & knows how important Donna should be).
Strange is clearly upset thinking & talking about his sister's death & BC kills the performance.
Sadly, this scene gets undercut when the Memory Lane scene depicted his biggest thing as his ex giving him a watch 10 years ago. So I guess his ex giving him a gift & leaving him hurts him more than his little sister dying.
If that is the case, Strange's character has NOT been done any favors. His obsession with his ex overrides family tragedy, I guess. Benedict was right to insist on this scene. Waldron was wrong to make Memory Lane all about Christine. Have a scene of Strange & Donna playing together as children, then hit hard when Strange reveals what happens to her later.
What we got was disjointed asf and removes any sympathy you could have for Strange when the film makes CHRISTINE the only thing that matters to him in life. His most important memory is her - so if he barely gives a damn about his sister compared to his narcissistic desire to reclaim an ex, why should we feel sympathy? I would go further & ask why we should care about Strange at ail? I mean, if his priorities are so fucked up that an old flame dumping him is more traumatic than watching his sister die right in front of him, you have written a character that shouldn't be cared for or sympathized with - rather a character that needs to be put out of his own & everyone else's misery. Lets move on.
Strange talks with Sinister who brings up Christine & her wedding. He went the same route our Strange did, being asked if he was happy & lying about it. Our Strange seems to have the realization he is not on a good path based on the same events that lead Sinsiter to where he is now.
Another early point coming back around. Sinsiter says he used the Darkhold to find a universe where he had Christine.
Our Strange was doing this as well. He wasn't using the Darkhold yet. But anytime he was confronted about other universes, he felt the need to ask if he & Christine were together in them, showing his own fixation with that. Keeping in mind the similar paths our Strange shared with Sinsiter, it is important to note where he obsession was going to go.
Sinister bluntly tells Strange he can use the Darkhold in exchange for Christine.
This reveals Sinsiter has gotten to the point of his obsession that Christine is on the same level as an object to be traded. Again, he wanted her because he wanted her & didn't care what she wanted anymore.
Our Strange had not made it there yet since he refuses on the grounds that Christine would not want that. Our Strange has not gotten to the forceful "take what I want" part of his obssession yet. However, it's safe to say he would have given the similar path he was already on.
It would seem getting dragged into Wanda & America's chase changed the course for him & let him see the shittiness of himself.
Now lets move ahead to our final stretch. Even after seeing a universal pattern & learning how bad things went for Sinister in his obssession, rather than take that lesson in & learn, Strange has to try again to hook up with Christine. We come to the big (in)famous scene.
He wants to take her back to his universe. Worth noting both times Strange gave his crap sob confessions, both Christines look uncomfortable asf.
We got his cringe & unearned confession line.
Also worth noting that after he gives this big theatrical confession, all Christine does is smile & nod awkwardly.
Again, she does not love him. Maybe she loved her Stephen once upon a time. But the man in front of her is not her Stephen. So once again, she's got no reason to love him.
Anyway, we see Strange give a slight eyebrow raise & stand there like an idiot when she doesn't have much to say in response.
Almost reads as "Damn, I just poured my heart out & she still don't want me."
Christine once again, pollitely rejects him. To another point I made earlier. THIS IS A VARIANT! This is not the Christine he shared his history with. She is a different person who shares looks with his Christine. But obssession doesn't care. He's still allowing his fixation & inability to accept loss affect him to the point of trying to hook up with a lookalike if he can - but even the lookalikes don't want him.
Again, this scene makes Strange look pathetic. This was not romantic or sympathetic. It was Simp Pathetic. lol Sorry dad joke.
But closing out the PalmerStrange rant, the relationship subplot depicts Strange as an obsessive stalker. If he didn't destroy the universe first like Supreme & Sinister, then the latter shows how dangerous Strange's limerence was going to get. And Christine has no protection because who's gonna stop Strange when he kidnaps her? The police & Charles can't do anything - and that's only if the latter isn't killed by Strange before he takes Christine.
We have an interview from Walnuts where he says PalmerStrange needed closure & 838 Christine pushes him forward to move on & love again. Link
The problem? Derrickson already did that in his first film 6 years prior. Strange still had feelings for Christine & it's made clear.
The awkward kiss cements that they will not be lovers again but have repaired their friendship and can part ways on a loving note contrary to their bad fight in the beginning.
The ship served the purpose Derrickson wanted which was giving Strange a personal tether in his previous life that he would have to leave behind. This was a mature ending of the relationship where they both accept their different life paths, and Strange doesn't look sprung & obsessive.
Waldron's writing didn't give closure or porgress. He regressed the character to do his own shittier version of the story while gaslighting fans in interviews to believe that it was a needed development rather than crappie retread of an already nicely concluded arc.
Strange is written as someone who's desperate asf.
He can't seem to recognize that obssessive desire is not love and can't stand the fact or fathum the idea that Christine couldn't want him, making their relationship all about what he's feeling when he insists on conversations about their past & grilling her for answers & justifications for why he can't have her.
His feelings here are pretty much the same as Spike's feelings for Buffy in seasons 5 and 6 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And I hated Spike and his toxic relationship with Buffy. When the real thing didn't want him, he had a sex-bot of her made. Strange is in that same boat when he loses his Christine to another man, and started eyeing up variants. That's sad as hell.
In addition to regressing & character assassiating him in his Christine arc, Walnuts also regressed another arc which was the Ancient One teaching him that everything is not about him - because again, he makes the basis for his entire relationship with Christine about him. He refuses to take no for an answer. People like that can become dangerous.
In BTVS, we saw the worst case scenario of someone who can't let go & take no for an answer. Buffy calls off the abusive relationship with Spike and tries to give him more respect than he deserves in ending it. LIke Strange, he can't take no for an answer and won't respect that she is finished with him. It all comes to a head when Spike finally tries to rape her before realizing why their relationship was problematic and he had some changing to do.
And honestly, with the way Strange is written & what we got from Sinister, the infamous Buffy scene was a real possibility for Christine as well. Again, Sinsister wanted to trade the Darkhold for her, so her consent was evidently not something he was worried about so long as he was satisfied.
On to Clea
youtube
Now we move on to Clea as a love interest. This film created a multitude of problems for that, as well as Walnuts' words in the above-linked interview not matching his half-assed writing.
He talks up Clea as being this great love for Strange and saying he needed closure from Christine before he'd be ready to meet his real love. There are a couple of problems with that statement. First is the aforementioned fact that Strange already got that closure with Derrickson at the end of the first film. Walnuts regressed that development. Next is how he can say that crap with a straight face despite his writing showing the total opposite - which I will get to now.
If Walnuts truly thinks Clea is the love of Strange's life, why the Hell would he write Strange as being obssessed over another woman for 10 years throughout the film, and professing multiversial love to her lookalike just 10 min. before adding Clea in a nameless cameo in mid-credits?
If Walnuts absolutely had to write something relating to PalmerStrange closure, here is a better scenario. Strange congradulates her at her wedding, wishes her happiness, then both acknowlege that they'll always share a bond & cherrish the friendship their lives led them to. Maybe have them share a hug, then let that be it. Short, sweet, and to the point without any inappropriateness & obssessive stalker tendencies on Strange's end.
After that, you bring in Clea for the rest of the film, to go with him & America on their multiversial journey. You don't bring in a variant of his ex that you already knew he didn't need to be with.
Also if one is serious about Clea being a great love to Strange, no writer worth a damn is gonna write him as a obssessive stalker over another woman throughout the film right up until the last 3 min.
"I love you in every universe" is not a line one writes to show that a character is getting over & moving on from someone. That's the line of someone who's still very much trying to get what they want.
In the following scene with Wong, Strange outright admits he is not happy after the film's events. Again, this is NOT writing him as a man who's moved on.
Strange talks to America, goes back to the Sanctum, now all of a sudden he's over Christine, smiling & happy with life?
NO! That's some terrible ass writing - a totally forced & unearned "happy" ending. Strange was unhappy, obssessed, and depressed right up through his scene with Wong. How did we get from that to magical out of nowhere happiness & acceptance? Clearly there was a time jump. But ultimately the film kept him static in his unhappiness & obssession with the "development" into happiness & moving on being off-screen. Lmao
This brings us to the final issues. This film forces PalmerStrange out of nowhere, and makes it into a bigger deal than it ever was in Derrickson's film. They were love interests but not the star-crossed great loves that MoM tried to sell.
We learn from Kevin Feige that he loved the Strange Supreme What If episode, and told Waldron to watch it. In that universe, Strange & Christine were together but tragically ended. And it seems Waldron used that as the basis for the ship in this film rather than what Derrickson already established in the film that this was meant as a sequel to - the version which dealt with our characters, not variants of them with a totally different & unrelated bond.
Gassing PalmerStrange up like he did knowing he wanted to bring in Clea (or so he claims) was terrible. Because now, he put too much emphasis on Strange's feelings for Christine to take Clea seriously. Again, Clea's introduction was very half-assed. She just randomly & namelessly shows up out of nowhere during the credits. That's not the kind of intro a good writer would give a character whom they genuinely believe to be important.
Christine got first billing with Clea tossed as an afterthought.
The MCU will have to work extra hard to sell & sail this ship since they decided to spend the last 3 years shoving Christine down our throats. As it stands with the horrible writing now, Clea looks like Strange's rebound chick since 2 versions of his first choice rejected him, and 2 others he finds out either married someone else or didn't talk to him anymore.
Their future relationship will need MANY defining moments to show she is Strange's great love & not a sex prop he gonna get off on while visualizing Christine. Sadly, the horrific writing gives the impression of the latter.
Christine got "I love you in every universe." It's a beautiful line made cringe by the fact it was wasted on the wrong relationship by a person whose feelings were toxic obssession they mistake for love because they're spoiled & can't take not getting what they want.
So what are they gonna give Clea? Will the next writer even make an effort with the ship & give them anything? Or are we gonna skip the developement & have them just already married in the next film they share? That really fuels the rebound interpretation when we skip from Strange obssessing over Christine for 10 years in "his" sequel to married out of nowhere to a random woman he met in credits of said film.
It would really take a couple of films to give the ship proper devotion & build while moving all the pieces of the bigger story. And I don't think we are gonna get that at this point. Strange probably only has 2 or 3 more film appearances before he gets killed off, including DS3 which is rumored to be a segue into other events, and we saw how much Strange mattered when it comes to transition solo films.
Overall Strange's character in general (not just his love life) needs extreme focus & development. He's been around for almost a decade with little to no development since his first film in 2016. When I look at the character in the comics vs. him in the MCU, it's enough to make me wanna scream at how one-note the latter has made him, and how dirty they have done him. MCU Strange is basically the biggest one-note loser there is. Cumberbatch is the only saving grace for the character atm.

Latch (Wanda Maximoff/ Reader)
Hello! Just a little background, this takes place post-Age of Ultron but pre-Civil War. Let me know your thoughts! I have some more ideas in store for this story. :)
Warnings: Just some good old fashioned angst and comfort plus some light fluff :)
āYou lift my heart up when the rest of me is down... If there are boundaries I will try to knock them down.ā
Despite everything in her life pointing to the contrary, Wanda spend the majority of her life believing in love. Life was cruel and took and took from her endlessly, yet deep down she believed that one day there would be more than that.
When she lost Pietro, she knew she couldnāt believe that anymore. Her only constant, the one she relied on most in this world was cruelly torn away from her. She was alone. Truly and utterly alone for the first time in her life, and it terrified her. It was clear to her that life had decided happiness was not in the cards for her. If life had decided that she didnāt deserve love or happiness, then she didnāt see a point in fighting it any longer. With steely resolve, she retreated into herself and found solace in her loneliness and the emptiness in her heart. Ā
Despite being a new Avenger, she refrained from getting to know anyone on the team or allowing them to know her. Wanda had established a routine that kept them all at armās length despite numerous attempts to reach her from each of them. This worked fairly well for a month.
Then you walked through the doors and everything changed.
Steve had brought you in temporarily to further the Avengers training with your powers as he was your mentor of sorts. Ā Almost immediately you were drawn to the girl with sadness in her eyes. It didnāt take the advanced skills of a trained assassin to notice that she was withdrawn and perpetually alone. Your heart ached for her. If there was one thing you understood in this world, it was loneliness. You knew what being alone in this cold world felt like and you would never wish it on anyone. You sensed it the moment you met Wanda and you wanted nothing more than to help her bear that heavy burden. To do anything you could to take that pain away from the beautiful stranger who had mesmerized you from the very first glance. As far as you were concerned, she was now your mission.
As clichĆ© as it sounded, Wanda also felt an instant connection with you. Regardless of the connection she felt with you, her walls remained up. She made it her own mission to avoid you at all cost. Too scared to let anyone close again and unwilling to even consider taking the risk. Despite her efforts, you still managed what countless others before you had failed to do.Ā You broke through Wandaās walls as though they were made of paper. You both gravitated towards one another naturally and you understood that not all situations required words. She appreciated that.
In the beginning you would just sit with her and listen to music, both comforted by one anotherās mere presence. Neither really understanding it, but seemingly seeking it. Eventually sitting together transitioned into small talk. Small talk developed into sharing small tidbits of one anotherās life. Small talk led to deep conversations which often involved a lot of comforting. Slowly but surely you were helping her heal. Ā
You two quickly became inseparable. As much as it surprised the other Avengers, they were all just glad to see Wanda with a little less sadness in her eyes. To see Wanda accept help.
After a few weeks, Steve announced you had been formally asked to join the Avengers and had accepted much to Wandaās dismay. While she had developed a bond with you, she knew that you staying meant that her already fragile heart was facing the threat of even more heartbreak. Staying meant that she would only come to care for you more. Staying meant she could potentially lose you ā her last glimmer of hope in this unforgiving world.
Despite her fear, staying away from you had become impossible for her.Ā Ā
It wasnāt until she learned about your past that she understood. You had been sitting with her quietly on the roof of the compound as usual, soft music playing in the background. Thatās when she decided she couldnāt take it anymore. āWhy?ā she asked with a steady voice as she faced you.
āHmm?ā you hummed, as you turned to meet her questioning eyes, clearly confused by her sudden words.
āWhy do you care about me? You barely even know me.ā
You looked down and began twisting the rings on your fingers with a furrowed brow. Enough time had passed, and Wanda was about to ask again when you began speaking, your voice solemn. āBecauseā¦ Because I know what itās like to be you. I know that sometimes the only way to save yourself from drowning is to accept the hand that is offered to you no matter how much youād rather sink to the bottom.ā Ā
Wanda studied you for a moment, trying to keep her features neutral but her eyes gave her away. She was surprised. āAnd how would you know that?ā
āWeāre more similar than you think.ā You replied, which was a cop-out answer. You were just trying to ready yourself in order to tell her of your own past.
āHow?ā She asked insistently.
Again, Wanda noticed you begin spinning the rings on your fingers. A nervous tick she picked up. āBefore I met Steve I was a lot like you.ā She opened her mouth to speak, but you merely held your hand up to signal you werenāt done yet. āIām getting to it. I was a product of Hydra too. Not a volunteer exactly, but I never put up a fight to leave. I stayed for the promise of guaranteed safety for my little sister ā Anna- if I cooperated.ā
Wandaās breath hitched. āY/n-,ā
āHydra had taken my parents years before. I couldnāt let them take her too. Then my powers developed. Developed into something that they could use to harm innocent people. I became their new weaponā¦ but, I couldnāt do it. I refused. A few days later they tied me down and brought Anna in th-then they took her from me. Right in front of my eyes.ā
Wandaās eyes watered, she understood your pain and she finally knew that you understood hers as well. She took your hand in hers and held it tightly. āYou donāt have to tell me more.ā She whispered.
You shook your head, āYou shared your entire past with me. Itās only fair you know my own. After they took Anna I lost control and donāt remember much of what happened but when I came to the majority of the building was in rubble and I was ready to lose myself in the rubble as well to be with Anna once again. Thatās when Steve found me. He knew what I was trying to do and didnāt let me. He knocked me out,ā you chuckled slightly, āAfter I awoke again, he sat with me and offered me help, offered me another option in life. It was like I could hear Annaās voice in my head and she told me to accept, so I did.ā
āYou accepted the hand that wanted to save you from drowning.ā Wanda whispered, squeezing your hand once more.
With a small smile, you nodded. āI did. I had no control over my powers though, so Steve took me to Fury who helped me train for about a year with Steve constantly checking in on me. Now here I am. An Avenger. With you. Offering you a hand, hoping to save you from drowning.ā
Wanda closed her eyes for a moment and took in everything you had just confided in her. She took note of your hand still steadily in her own. A life raft. She took note of how for the first time since she lost her brother she didnāt feel alone.
āI donāt think I want to sink to the bottom anymore, Y/n.ā she whispered, finally opening her eyes and looking into yours with raw emotion. āJust- just donāt let go.ā
You noticed the vulnerability in her eyes as you collected her in your arms, feeling her bury her face against your neck, her tears coating your skin. āIāve got you, I wonāt let go of you.ā You whispered into her hair.
Well there it is, part 1!Ā Technically this is a companion piece to my last story āOne Day at a Timeā but you donāt have to read it to understand this piece since it would be part 1. Inspired by Sam SmithāsĀ āLatch (acoustic)ā so full experience would involve listening to it lol.Ā I hope anyone reading this enjoyed it!

EIGHTEEN | Charlie Gillespie
PAIRING(s): Charlie Gillespie x sisterās best friend!fem reader
WARNING(s): mentions of abuse, trauma, fluff
WORDS: 3.9k
SUMMARY:Ā āSo kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed to your cheeks
A long way from the playground
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved and to be in love
All I can do is say that these arms
Are made for holding you.ā
READ ON AO3Ā
OR READ HERE BELOW
Ā Ā Charlie smiles, watching the sunlight dance on Y/Nās face, almost like little splashes of golden paint. She hums to whatever song is playing through her earphones, a faint smile teasing the corners of her lips. Her eyes are closed, and Charlie marvels at how peaceful and serene she looks. Her h/c hair surrounds her head like a halo, and he is tempted to reach forward and press a kiss to her temple.
Ā He doesnāt do that, of course. Instead, he gets up from his couch and joins Y/N on the floor, lying beside her. Her eyelashes flutter at his movement and quaint, kind e/c eyes hold his stare, eyebrows raised in question.
Ā āI thought you said that you were too mighty for the floor.ā She teases, biting her lower lip to hide a smile. Charlie almost melts at that.
Ā āI never said that. Is everything okay up there?ā He points his index finger at her head.
Ā The young woman of nineteen laughs mockingly. āWhy, afraid youāre rubbing off your crazy on me?ā
Ā Charlie rolls his eyes, and shifts closer to her, their arms touching slightly ā and even that slight touch makes him feels butterflies in his stomach. Itās not uncommon, of course. Ever since he realized that he is indeed in love with her, anything that she does gives him butterflies. He doesnāt mind, of course ā but he hates the fact that he is unable to tell her what effect she has on him. So, he resorts to ignoring or suppressing everything he feels for his little sisterās best friend instead.
Ā She pulls out an ear pod from her left ear and shoves it into Charlieās ear. Eastside. Sheās had this song on repeat, ever since she came to visit him in Vancouver, where heās filming for the first season of Julie and The Phantoms.
Ā āI love this song. Reminds me of my first boyfriend. Remember him?ā She says, softly.
Ā āAaron. How could I forget? You begged me to cover for you at home so you could hang out with him.ā He says, smiling softly at the memory. They were so young, Y/N just fourteen, and him sixteen. He remembers Y/N sitting beside him on the couch while he was watching a movie, all flushed and bothered, eyes continuously flitting to Charlie. He remembers saying, āI know youāre dying to tell me something.ā
Ā She had nodded, looking around the Gillespiesā living room where they were currently seated in, apprehensively. āPromise me you wonāt tell anyone.ā
Ā He had jutted out his pinky finger and wrapped it around hers. āNever.ā
Ā āI think I really, really, super-duper like Aaron.ā
Ā āAaron as in your next-door neighbor?ā
Ā āYep.ā
Ā Charlie had smirked. āHeās such a dork. I canāt believe that you like him.ā
Ā āShut up, Char. Heās the sweetest.ā
Ā He chuckled. āHis hobby is taking pictures of treesā¦ if that doesnāt scream ādorkā, then I donāt know what does.ā
Ā She had glared at him while Megan had entered the room, plopping down on the couch beside Charlie. āWhatās up?ā
Ā āIām telling him about Aaron, and he thinks that heās a dork.ā
Ā Megan shrugged. āWhatās wrong with that? Heās really cute. Also, he was asking about you today.ā
Ā āReally?ā Y/Nās eyes brightened. Charlie laughed, shaking his head. āYou girls are weird. But I approve. Heās a nice kid.ā
Ā āI wasnāt looking for your approval?ā
Ā āYes, you were.ā
Ā The girls had rolled their eyes at him and he had wrapped his arms around the two.
Ā Y/Nās voice brings him back to the present. āSimple times.ā
Ā Charlie faces her. āEveryone after him were horrible.ā
Ā She narrows her eyes at the boy beside her. āNo, you were just too overprotective.ā
Ā āNope. They were all horrible.ā
Ā They werenāt. Charlie just hated anyone who showed an interest in Y/N. At first, he thought that it was probably because he had literally watched her grow up. But a couple of months later, when he watched her kiss Levitt from the swim team, he had felt a smoldering rage rise in his stomach, along with his heart clenching. That day, he had realized that maybe there was more to it than watching her grow up. A couple more months later, on his eighteenth birthday, when she had kissed him on his cheek and handed him a present wrapped in shiny, blue paper, he had felt butterflies in his stomach. He also could feel the ghost of her delicate lips against his skin for days after, like the remnants of a fire brushing against his cheek.
Ā When he unwrapped the present, he found a vintage, hardbound copy of his favorite book, Les MisĆ©rables, along with a note, saying: āI mightāve read your journal. Only the part about how much you loved hardcovers and the part about how much you hated the fact that no bookstores nearby sold it. Well, I also mightāve read the part about how frustrated you are with microwave timers. I feel you, dude. But, yeah, remember when I said that I was going to visit my sister in Montoc? I lied, LOL. I went to a vintage bookstore in Fredericton. Iām sorry for lying, but ātwas for a good reason, huh? Hope you like this. Also, youāre my second favorite person, after Meg. Happy 18th, Charles. Love, Y/N.ā
Ā That moment he had realized that he was completely, utterly, truly, madly, deeply in love with his little sisterās best friend.
Ā Itās been about three years since that, and he still hasnāt told her how he feels.
Ā Now, Y/N looks at him, and rolls her eyes. āSheesh.ā
Ā She props herself on her elbow. āWhen are we going out today?ā
Ā āJeremy said that he made a reservation at 6. So, weāll leave half an hour earlier.ā
Ā āOkay. Is Owen going with us?ā
Ā āYeah. I donāt trust him to drive in Canada.ā
Ā She grins. āHeās cool.ā
Ā āMaybe sometimes.ā
Ā āSavannah and Madi are the coolest, though.ā
Ā āDefinitely, yeah.ā
Ā āYou never told me that you had a cute roomie, though.ā
Ā āYeah ā wait what?ā
Ā Y/N flashes him a teasing smile and pushes herself upward with the palm of her hands. She brushes off her yoga pants and extends an arm to Charlie who is currently panicking inside.
Ā āDo you like Owen?ā
Ā āWhat if I do?ā
Ā Charlie must have looked as horrified as he had felt because she laughs and says, āIām just messing with you.ā
Ā āThank god.ā
***
Ā āFinally!ā Y/N yells, kicking off her black, leather heels, which land near Charlieās feet. He laughs, kicking them to the side.
Ā āYouāre so dramatic.ā
Ā āI dare you to wear heels like that for a day. See how you feel.ā
Ā Owen pipes from behind them, closing the door to their apartment. āOh, I did. My friend Dani made me wear them for a video. It was the most painful day of my life.ā
Ā āSee!ā Y/N high fives his roommate as Charlie scrunches up his face. āHowād she find heels in your size, dude?ā
Ā He laughs, and extends an arm toward the other two, who hand him their coats, muttering āthank youā individually. He walks inside, yelling, āIām fucking tired. Going to sleep.ā
Ā āDonāt forget to check the stove!ā Charlie yells back, hearing his roommate affirm his request.
Ā Itās just the two of them standing in the foyer now, and Charlie canāt stop staring at her. Sheās wearing this beautiful red dress that compliments her skin perfectly, clinging to her body in all the right places ā he had himself gifted her this dress on her nineteenth birthday. (Not really. His mother had picked the dress.)
Ā She hasnāt noticed him staring, though.
Ā āUgh, I canāt wait to get out of this dress.ā She walks inside.
Ā Charlie pauses and purses his lips, trying to stop himself from picturing him doing it. He breathes out raggedly and follows her inside ā trying (and failing) to shove that mental picture away.
Ā Reaching the living room, he falls back onto the couch, which has been his bed for the past few days that Y/N has been here. She had protested, of course. But she already has so much trouble sleeping ā sheās had it ever since she was a child.
Ā Y/N hadnāt had the best childhood. Charlie faintly remembers his mom pulling him and his sister into the kitchen one day when Y/N left their house after spending the whole day there.
Ā āMom? What happened to Y/N?ā Megan had asked, childlike innocence dripping off her tone.
Ā Charlie had nodded, saying, āHowād she fall down the stairs? That bruise looked nasty.ā
Ā Their mother had sighed, and Charlie still remembers the pain in her eyes. āHoney. I want you to listen carefully, okay? And not tell anyone. You two think you can do that?ā
Ā They nodded enthusiastically.
Ā āThere are good people in this world ā like Y/N. But there are also bad people, people who hurt the good people. And sometimes, sometimes, your parents can also be bad people.ā
Ā āThatās not true!ā Megan had protested, their mother smiling.
Ā āMaybe not for you. I hope so. But Y/Nās parents ā they arenāt the best people, okay? Theyā¦uhā¦ Iām not going to excuse their actions. They, uh, hurt Y/N.ā
Ā āSo, they pushed her down the stairs?ā Charlie asked, his eyes widened. He could not understand how the people that loved you the most could do that to you, especially to someone like Y/N. Heās known her his entire life, ever since the Y/L/Ns moved next door when he was still in diapers.
Ā āI donāt know. Something happened. She was too shaken up to talk about it.ā
Ā āBut ā but ā sheās the best person ever! Why would her mom and dad do that to her?ā Megan had protested, eyes welling with tears at the thought of her best friend getting hurt.
Ā āI donāt know, honey. I wish I did, I really do.ā Their mother paused for a long moment. āI want you two to always be nice to her, alright? No matter what happens. Because, right now, she feels alone. I can see it in her eyes ā sheās scared, confused, lonely. I know you two love her so much, and I want you guys to make sure that she knows it, okay? Make sure that she never feels lonely, all right? Make sure that sheās always safe and comfortable, as long as sheās with us, you.ā
Ā They had nodded, their hearts welling up with love for their friend.
Ā After their mother hugged the two of them, Charlieās twelve-year-old sister had run off to the other room, to call her best friend and tell her just how much she loves her.
Ā Charlie had lingered in the kitchen, too sad over what heād just been told.
Ā āMaman?ā
Ā āYes, honey?ā
Ā āCanāt we just keep her for ourselves?ā
Ā āIf we could, we would. I would like nothing more. But thatās absolutely not legal, mon chĆ©ri.ā
Ā āOh. Thatās unfair.ā
Ā His mother had flashed him a sad smile. He had taken both of his hands in his, and said sincerely, āI promise you, maman. Iām always gonna protect her. No matter what.ā
Ā His mother had pressed a kiss into his tousled hair and whispered, āI expect nothing less.ā
Ā Itās been more than seven years since, but Charlie still does everything in his power to make sure that she is always safe and happy.
Ā āHey, Char?ā Her voice brings him back from his childhood.
Ā āYeah?ā
Ā āThat couch doesnāt look comfortable.ā She shrugged one shoulder.
Ā āIt is! I promise you.ā He lied. It definitely wasnāt comfortable. The blinding pain in his neck is proof of that.
Ā āDonāt lie to me. Come on, sleep in your bed.ā
Ā He shook his head.
Ā āYouāre not gonna sleep on the couch, Y/N. Seriously. Youāre right, itās too uncomfortable.ā
Ā āI wasnāt gonna. Weāll sleep together. That came out wrong. I mean, we can both sleep in the same bed, weāre both adults.ā
Ā Charlie wanted to protest, but the hopeless romantic in him drowned all objections.
Ā āWeāll put pillows between us, okay? And itās not like we havenāt slept in the same bed before. Remember my seventeenth? We were so drunk that we thought that the bed was a magnet, and we were screws.ā She continued, looking away.
Ā Charlie smiled up at her, remembering the feeling he had the next morning when he had woken up to find Y/N curled up into him, her head tucked into the crook of his neck. āAll right. If itās okay with you.ā
Ā She nods, walking into his bedroom, with Charlie following close behind. Both them wordlessly change and freshen up in the bathroom, and Charlie falls face first in his bed.
Ā āOh. My. God.ā
Ā Y/N laughs, sitting at the corner of his bed. āKnew it.ā
Ā Charlie grins at her, feeling absolutely euphoric, especially with the buzz from all the drinks heās had tonight still lingering in his head like a tattoo kiss. She slides under the covers, burrowing her face into the soft pillows. āI canāt function anymore. Bye.ā
Ā He laughs softly, squeezing her shoulder, to which she softly smiles. He slides under the cover, resting on his side to face her, or rather a mess of h/c hair and soft, rhythmic breaths. He closes his eyes, switching off the light, but he knows that he will not be getting much sleep tonight, especially with the fuzzy citrus scent of her perfume everywhere and the heat from her body consuming him.
***
Ā Itās 1:20 AM and Charlie canāt sleep. Turns out that being in the same bed with the girl heās been in love with since he was eighteen is a very, very bad idea. Heās put as much space between them as possible, yet he still feels vigilant and hot. His mind is betraying him: all he can think about is how beautiful she looks when the moonlight streaming through his window is casting shadows on her face, or how sheās sometimes saying things (really, really weird things, though ā Charlie doesnāt understand anything), how much she looks like a little cat while sheās snuggled into the covers, or how she flails her arms while sheās asleep.
Ā He considers crashing in Owenās room for the night. But as soon as Y/N starts moving around, still sleeping, he holds that thought and watches her instead.
Ā He can see her getting agitated, as she tosses and turns. She continues murmuring something, but itās still all jumbled, and it hits Charlie.
Ā He props himself on his elbow and leans close to her face. āY/N. Hey. Come back to me. Y/N. Honey. Youāre safe. Youāre safe.ā
Ā She gasps, as consciousness floods in her system. She looks confused for a second, and Charlie sits up, right beside her. āListen to me. Youāre safe. Iām here. Itās okay. Youāre okay. Everything is okay.ā
Ā She exhales, eyes closing for a second.
Ā āAre you okay?ā Charlie asks when her breathing has turned cadenced.
Ā Her eyes widen and lips part. āIām so sorry.ā
Ā āYou donāt ever need to apologize for that. Are you okay?ā
Ā āYeah. Yeah. I just ā ever since I left home, Iāve been getting these nightmares.ā She says, softly. Charlie lays next to her, turning to face her, while she mirrors his actions.
Ā āWhat do you see?ā He asks.
Ā āMostly my childhood. You know, my dad pushing me down the stairs. Or my mother telling me that Iām a horrible person and no one will ever love me, and she should have aborted me. Or my dad breaking the mirror the one time I got a B in math. Or my parents fighting. Or ā you know, just a montage of my parentsā greatest hits.ā
Ā She breathes out shakily.
Ā āGetting away didnāt stop the nightmares, huh?ā He asks, resting a hand on her warm cheek.
Ā She scoots closer. āNo. They still text me sometimes, mostly to remind me that Iām a terrible person and that Iām gonna go to hell for walking out on them and not going to Harvard.ā
Ā āY/N, donāt you dare āā
Ā āNo. Iām happier than Iāve ever been. Walking out was the best decision that Iāve ever made.ā
Ā He smiles softly at her.
Ā āYou and Meganā¦ god, you two saved my life. I would never have had the courage to get this far if it wasnāt for you guys.ā
Ā āNo, honey. It was all you. Youāre the strongest person we know.ā
Ā āShush. Let me compliment you in peace. You guys are the best thing thatās ever happened to me, you know.ā
Ā She smiles, reaching forward to tangle run her hands through Charlieās hair. They were dangerously close now: Charlie could see the curve of her nose, the lingering red lipstick color on her lips and count the number of eyelashes she has.
Ā āYouāre the best thing thatās happened to us, too.ā
Ā Charlie can feel something in the space between them, something pulling them close. It is cold outside, but here, in the cocoon theyāve created, he feels warm and at home.
Ā āLike, thank you so much for pushing me to get into law school. Now, Iām learning how to help millions of little girls who are going through what I went through, and it makes everything worth it. I feel like I donāt say this enough, but Charlie. Thank you for everything.ā
Ā He smiles, trying to retort something funny but her proximity has jumbled his mind.
Ā āI know youāre really busy with your life, but thanks for still thinking of me sometimes.ā
Ā That breaks Charlie out of his daze. āWhat?ā
Ā āYou know. Youāre in a Netflix show, working with Kenny freaking Ortega and all these incredible people ā and Iām enormously proud of you, by the way ā andā¦ well, youāll soon not have that much time for your little sisterās best friend, you know?ā
Ā āYouāre not just my little sisterās best friend, Y/N.ā
Ā āYeah, Iām your friend, alright. But soon youāll be meeting celebrities and models and actors and then you wouldnāt have time for me anymore.ā
Ā Charlie furrows his brows. āWhere is this coming from, Y/N?ā
Ā āI just had a lot of time to think today.ā She turns on her back, facing the ceiling.
Ā He hates the fact that she is so unpredictable: he never knows whatās going on in her head or what she is feeling. Thatās one of the reasons that heās kept his feelings for her a secret for almost three years.
Ā āI saw you with that model today. At the bar. Uh. So, I thought that youāre probably gonna meet a lot of them in LA. Models and Hollywood girls and all that. So, youāll probably not have any time for me anymore.ā
Ā Charlie shakes his head, recalling the model he was talking to earlier today. Or rather, yesterday. Carol. She was really nice, sweet, and beautiful ā and definitely interested in Charlie. But his focus had been on Y/N, who was having a dance off with Owen and Savannah, all evening ā or rather, all the time. He had tried to focus on the Carol, he really did ā but after an hour, she herself realized that he wasnāt into her and whispered a āgood luck with herā to him before leaving to go back to her friends.
Ā āY/N, thatās not true āā
Ā āItās okay, Charlie. Itās good. Your life shouldnāt be stuck in the same place. It should be getting better, and you should be meeting new people, you know? Youāve been alone for a weirdly long time and itās freaking your mom out. So, I know youāre gonna fall in love with someone and then youāll be too busy āā
Ā āGod, Y/N, how are you so fucking oblivious?ā Charlie snaps, annoyance coursing through his veins.
Ā Her eyes widen at his harsh tone of voice, and it shocks Charlie, too. Heās never, ever raised his voice at her.
Ā āWhat?ā
Ā Maybe itās having her so incredibly close that causes him to finally snap. āY/N, I have been in love with you ever since I was eighteen. Youāre the only person that I want, and youāre the reason that Iāve been alone for a weirdly long time.ā
Ā He immediately regrets saying that. Y/N is sitting up, and she is looking around everywhere, trying to avert Charlieās eyes. He hides his face behind his hands, sinking deeper into the covers and trying to create a hole and fall down to the center of the earth.
Ā āI think youāve had too much to drink today.ā
Ā He groans into his hands, glad that heās under the covers and the girl canāt see his absolutely scarlet face. āOh, for godās sake. Dude. I wrote you an entire ballad when I was nineteen because I realized that this is exactly whatās gonna happen ā that Iām always gonna be in love with you, and youāre always gonna think of me as your best friendās older brother.ā
Ā He feels the covers shift above his head, and is greeted with Y/Nās face, a vulnerable look in her eyes. āDo you really mean it?ā
Ā āOf course, I do. Youāre my family ā do you really think that Iām gonna joke about something like this and ruin our friendship? The only reason Iām even telling you this is because Iām incredibly frustrated that youāre so oblivious and youāre so fucking pretty. And so close. See, this is exactly why I wanted to sleep on the couch. Because I knew that I would lose it.ā
Ā Thereās a sudden flurry of movement and her lips are on hisā, and theyāre kissing, kissing, kissing. Charlie is too shocked to do anything at first but as soon as the warmth courses through his system and the butterflies go wild in his gut, he pulls her closer, rising up. She sits in his lap, straddling him, their hands getting lost in each otherās hairs ā both of them trying to be closer, closer, closer to make up for all the lost years and to keep feeling the contentment that they feel from just being close to each other. She tastes like Charlieās mint toothpaste and his dreams ā like everything heās ever wanted.
Ā As they separate for air, Y/N rests her forehead on his. āI thought you knew.ā
Ā āWhat?ā Heās surprised to find his voice hoarse.
Ā āThat Iām in love with you.ā
Ā He canāt stop the grin on his face from escaping. āWhat?ā
Ā āI thought Meg told you. Or your mum. Or anyone really. Everyoneās called me out on it. Iāve always had a crush on you but dating all those guys in high school made me realize that I was kind of, you know, in love with you.ā
Ā āWhy didnāt you tell me?ā
Ā āSame reason as you. Youāre my family, Charlie. I didnāt wanna lose what we have just because ofā¦ you know.ā
Ā Y/N slides off his lap and lies on the bed, next to him and he mirrors her actions, and she rests her head on his chest, the frantic beating in his chest her background music. He drapes an arm around her shoulders, desperate to have her close.
Ā āWeāre both cowards, eh?ā
Ā She giggles.
Ā āWait. Meg knew?ā
Ā āOf course. Sheās my best friend.ā
Ā āYou know, one day I got drunk and told her that āIām 100% attracted to your best friend sexually and emotionally and everythingally.ā I kept wondering why she was laughing.ā
Ā āI hate her.ā She buries her face in Charlieās chest, giggling.
Ā Charlie laughs and pulls her in for another kiss, desperate to hold her again, to feel the high he only feels around her. She smiles against his lips, before a thought occurs to him. āWait. You were jealous of the bar girl, werenāt you?ā
Ā āShut up, you dork.ā
Ā Theyāre only half aware of the snowstorm raging outside from the warm cocoon theyāve created in each otherās arms. Maybe miracles really do exist.

literally ignore this post unless you want to hear about my life and feelings rn lol.
in the past week, greta van fleet has utterly changed my life in a way I hadnāt know was possible. Iāve never responded to a band and itās music the way I did when I listened to them for the first time. Something clicked in my brain that just made sense, every note, every word, literally every sound just worked. Because of them Iāve completely changed huge factors in my life that Iāve been trying and failing to achieve for a couple years now. I started to exercise last week by going on hikes in my area and just walking and feeling the sun on my skin while listening to them has changed my entire thought process. While hiking Iāve started to catalogue and doodle the wild flowers I see and even picked a few and started the pressing process. The sun and the wind and nature in general also just feel so much brighter and happier lately. I also havenāt eaten red meat in over two weeks now and have stopped snacking on junk food and sweets when normally I would gorge when Iām bored. I feel healthier and my body is already feeling so much better Iām less tired, Iām more lively and conversational with strangers and all around just a better person. Iāve lost a little weight already just from changing my diet and getting outside when I can and all because of GVF and their music and what it means to me. Ok the other side of the coin Iāve started to focus a lot on how to make myself happier and how to blossom my creativity and yet again fall to greta. After learning more about the band and thier message and how they came to be I felt like I finally understood who I am and how I can add to the world. Iām creative, Iām artistic and Iām suddenly motivated to create and give to the world which sounds very arrogant but feels right. The last few years Iāve been in this mental and physical fog and have been using copious amount of weed to sort of forget about it and just exist. But after this week I just feel like a different person. I signed up for a knitting class, I emailed this ranch near my house to see if they need any volunteers for the summer/spring and I also am reaching out to a queer bakery/brewery type place in the town that I will be moving to in the summer in hopes of getting a job once Iām there. Iāve also never felt as connected to music as I have with this band. Iāve never really lived concerts, especially being in the pit. Most of the time Iād rather listen to the music in my own time and really feel it in a more private way. Concerts I feel sometimes feel very nerve racking and I feel like everyone is a little worried about themselves now more then ever because of Covid. But something about GVF is different for me where the first time I listened to the battle at gardens gate I knew that I HAD to listen to that album, and specifically a couple songs off of it, live in person as close as humanly possible to the creatures creating the music. Each boy brings such a crucial and TRULY talented piece to each song and it brings tears to my eyes. Iāve not had a musician where I like EVERY single song that they have made like I do with this band. I have listened to their music almost non stop since I first heard them and itās still not enough. Josh Kiszka has one of the most incredibly unique and specific voices Iāve ever heard. Hearing him belt out the lyrics and effortlessly screech/scream/yell/sing the differently ad libs just gives me chills to my bones. I donāt think Iāve ever liked a singers voice more than his. I donāt think Iāve ever even had a crush on a guy because he can sing I just do not listen to male musicians. But Josh is something else. He brings this bright happy sunny personality to everything he does as do all the other boys in the band. Iāve changed my entire demeanor because of this and not in a way that I left my old self behind but more in a way that I found my truer self. I have this ability in me to be this bubbly sunshine of a person and try to make the people around me as happy as I can. I truly think itās my strongest skill that I have and Iāve been pushing it deep down hiding it.
#i literally reached the paragraph limit lmfao#i actually have so much to say idk how Iām supposed to just end my thoughts right here#i also doubt that anyone has read or cares to read this#personal#greta van fleet#text#read more#my first every read more btw I hope that it works cause Iām gonna cry if it doesnāt

Mc and Lucifer with a wild baby Satan but mc just aces it and lucifer is shocked and just in love? Lol
Thanks for the ask anon. Trying something knew and going with Luciās pov because... why not! Itās probably a hot mess because emotion and shit is not my strong point so I guess I can call it a practice in feelings or some shit.
(and brownie points to yāall who spot the probably obvious Spirited Away reference)
Also, gender neutral pronouns.
Enjoy??
~
Honestly, the idea of having MC stay within Lamentation did worry me; I understood there were no other dormitory options so it made perfect sense... but I was wary none the less.
I had five unruly brothers to try and keep under control but the most worrying part was knowing MC would have to deal with my... how could I put it... newest family edition.
Satan.
That wild, angry spawn I unwittingly created who is easily becoming the bane of my existence whom I quite simply would die to protect. I donāt know how to ever admit this, but I love the wild beast completely.
Heās still an insufferable little shit. And I would kill anyone who dared try lay harm to him.
And near impossible to control. How could I possibly protect MC against such a wild demonic infant 24/7 while looking after the boy, keeping the others in check as well as my duties to RAD and anything my lord should require?
Even Mammon struggles to calm the boy when tempers flare. I can hardly say I help in the matter half the time either. My wrath is the reason he even exists.
But... MC surprised me. Oh indeed how they did surprise me.
Not a moment after returning to Lamentation, silently praying to whoever may still listen - I didnāt care which realm they be from - as I expected to have found Mammon had failed to watch over our human exchange student.
I even stopped for a moment once I had walked through the door; an all too familiar cry of rage - screaming and growling and sobbing - and loud crashes from the kitchen.
Satan has found his way there and who knows whoās just upset him. The little beast must have wanted something. Perhaps Beel beat him to it.
And then suddenly the sheer volume is subsiding and I can hear Mammon voice his surprise. I find myself quick to move and hurry to the kitchen to find MC of all creatures to have Satan perched on their hip and holding him gently and securely.
Once again I find myself frozen.
āThat was so much noise from such a little cutie,ā they chuckle while bobbing him gently. āAll that for a pre-dinner snack... and Mammon wouldnāt give you anything... so mean!ā
āOi!ā Mammon huffs as Satan giggles at MCās cooing. I was utterly astonished if I were to be completely honest. Clearly, this human has no idea the sheer untrained, raw and deadly power they hold in their arms.
Satan was the first to notice me, looking up from his treasured roasted newt he smiled at me and pointed to the crispy lizard in his hand. MC and Mammon then looked over to where I stood and finally I found myself able to move once again.
āCheck it out,ā Mammon sounded as stunned as I felt.
And with good reason. Satan settled for no one; I barely manged half the time and now here I stand before a mere human as they brush Satanās soft blonde locks from his face and he leans against them while nibbling on his treat.
āInteresting...ā was all I could seem to get out before holding out my hands to take the boy off MCās hands.
āInto daddyās arms then?ā they asked while looking to Satan. Considering the circumstances, it was easy for me to have missed that jibe... but, had I been in the right mind and not stunned senseless; I would have quickly scolded the human for such a remark.
I watch Satan mull over the question; as if trying to decide whether or not my arms were a step up or down from MCās embrace.
āNo!ā Satan pouted.
āQuite interesting...ā
It was a revelation as far as I was concerned; and I found myself admiring this human. Me! Lucifer; fallen archangel of the Celestial realm, now the Avatar of Pride, one ruler of Devildom. Smitten by a human.
A ridiculous notion.
āI donāt mind keeping an eye on him for the moment. If he tries to take my eyes I call out for you guys,ā MC offered with a lighthearted smile before asking Satan if he would try to take their eyes.
I watched them make a deal; one more roasted newt and MC could keep their eyes. Satan never bargained. Satan fought tooth and nail for what he wanted.
I fell so hard.
I didnāt realise at the time. But every time MC willing and eagerly interacted with my accident, my demon - my child - without fear of his burning temper and rage so violent and strong he could send objects flying across the room with a simple thought...
Well... every time I felt something swell within me. Something that weighed so heavily on my heart. As heavily as the feeling I bare toward Satan.
By the time I realise what this feeling is; and perhaps I only came to understand this feeling at all was because of MCās willingness to help create a bond between myself and Satan, just as they had helped mend the bond of my entire household; the exchange program was all but ending.
My brothers would lose them.
Satan would lose them.
I would lose them. I now I sit; battling my own pride, desperate to set it aside to ask MC to stay. The only one more heartbroken than Satan by MCās absence... would be me.
I fell in love.
And all because I watched them effortlessly handle Satan. My son.

Mine
3. Stalk me all you want, just bring refreshments.
Genre: Yoongi x OC
Warnings: some stalking lol
Word Count: 3.1kĀ
Weāve made it to Paris by the time the first stalker finds me.
The past week has been spent in England popping in and out of interviews and press conferences. For the most part, itās been pretty quiet. Granted, each interview never fails to bring up BTS, one even going so far as to pull up a quiz to see how similar I am to Suga.
I got 62%.
Sebastian demanded to take it as well. He got 43%. I still canāt tell if he was relieved or upset. Either way, things have been a little strange between us ever since that morning when he woke me up post panic attack. I canāt tell if itās just because weāve both got a lot of things on our minds or the fact that weāre back in civilization now, but I find myself seeking out the company of friends through phone calls and facetimes more often.
Stacey has been working nonstop to deflate the situation as much as possible. Truly, I owe her everything. Sheās quick to remind me just that as I make my way to my hotel room.
āYou know, this is very different from any other case Iāve had before. This fanbase is hard to get around.ā
I roll my eyes even though she canāt see me from the other end of the phone. āYou really have to stop referring to this as a case. It sounds like Iām some type of criminal.ā
Sebastian passes me to go to his room while I fumble with my keycard. Stacey is in the middle of explaining the reasoning behind calling this a case when I finally open up the door and nearly drop the phone at the sight before me.
A girl sits on the edge of the bed, phone held up and hat low on her head. She stands up, walking over to me.
āLook who it is! Cara Richie!ā For her surprised tone, I know she isnāt surprised at all. Stacey pauses on the phone as she picks up on the other voice. I remain frozen in the doorway, utterly confused. Did I get the wrong room?
Sebastian is the first one to react. āKeep your head down Car, and walk over here. Come into my room, Iāll get security.ā
I do as he says, hesitating only a moment longer before turning my head down and heading down the hall. Stacey is demanding answers in my ear, but I canāt bring myself to answer her. Not as the girl is rushing out the door in an attempt to capture more footage.
āYou think just because youāre a pretty face that Yoongi would be interested in you? He probably felt bad for your sorry excuse of a career and wanted to help. How do you feel about being a pity case?ā
The words fling themselves at my back, but I focus on putting one step in front of the other. Sebastian is speaking quickly on the phone, motioning for me to walk faster.
āCāmon, cāmonā¦ā He mutters under his breath, opening his door wide.
āI think you should know that this is live on Instagram. You look like a coward. Why would he like a coward like you?ā
My feet refuse to move faster, my measly pace being the only thing I can manage. Thereās a piece of me that really wants to turn around and give her a piece of my mind, but I know thatās the last move I should take. Not when sheās filming. Not when weāre just beginning promotions and my career is already barely hanging in there.
When Iām within armās reach, Sebastian grabs me and hauls me into the room. I just glimpse the dark clothing of security bursting out of the stairwell before Sebastian closes the door behind us.
āWhat was that?ā Stacey demands to know. I watch as Sebastian scours the room, checking the bathroom and even under the covers for any unwanted visitors. Once he gives me a thumbs-up, I finally speak.
āI...I think that girl was stalking me.ā
š
To say the least, Paris and I donāt get along well. Yes, the world-famous city of love. The irony of it all isnāt lost on me. Iām stuck in the city of love all the while trying my best to avoid crazed would-be lovers of some man Iāve only ever seen through a screen.
On the bright side, people who work for the tabloids are having a heyday. I havenāt managed to get my hands on any of the magazines theyāre working for, but I do have a phone and said phone is in a constant state of buzzing and ringing.
One the down side I still have no clue how Iām supposed to make it through these promotions in one piece. A part of me hopes that BTS will step in and basically tell everyone to knock it off, but I have no way of knowing how their PR teams works. Either way, they seem to be very good at keeping things on their side very quiet while my side is barely holding the barricade.
Weāre driving back from an interview when my phone rings yet again. Sebastian looks at me.
āYou gonna answer that?ā
Sighing, I yank my phone out of my pocket. No doubt itās yet another nosy friend or reporter that got my number from a nosy friend.
āOh!ā I gasp. Itās an actual friend. āBong-Cha!ā I all but scream into the phone. Itās my crazy roommate from my senior year in college that convinced me to pursue another degree with her in Seoul.
āWow, you actually sound happy to hear from me,ā my friend teases.
āThereās a first time for everything. How are you?ā It feels like itās been years since weāve last spoken.
Sebastian looks at me with a puzzled expression as I slip into Korean. Iāve never spoken it around him, but Iāve never had a reason to. In fact, itās about time I got a call from my friend. I need to keep practicing.
āIām...great.ā
I furrow my brows as I study the Parisian streets we pass. āAre you sure about that?ā
Bong-chaās sigh carries through the phone. āYeah, I think so. Itās just...remember when I told you before you left for the Congo that I had a really big gig coming up? Like, really big?ā
The conversation we had less than a week before I left for the Congo comes back to my mind. Bong-cha and I originally went into the university to study acting. When we were both accepted to a prestigious school in Seoul she was elated and I was confused. I didnāt apply to the school. I didnāt even speak the language, why would I apply? Bong-cha took things into her own hands and filled out the application for me. It took a lot of puppy eyes and convincing, but eventually I realized that a fresh start on a new continent and even with a new language would be exactly what I needed.
The program took two years, but it only took Bong-cha six months to realize that she wanted to focus more on the music part of filming rather than the actual acting. The little punk switched programs, but we still lived together for the duration of the two years. Looking back, she made the right decision. She can weave and create a soundtrack that puts people under a spell. She even helped with the soundtrack for one of my very first indie flicks.
Thanks to her I had something of an advantage going into the world of cinema with both American and Korean acting experience. But the best part of it all was the building up a friendship that will last for decades.
āYeah,ā I come out of my walk down memory lane. Paris somehow makes me nostalgic. āWhat happened with that? How did it go?ā
āWell, it went well...it wasnāt exactly for a movie, though.ā
āWhat was it for, then?ā I can sense the hesitation in her tone and urge her forward. āAre you releasing a mixtape or something?ā We both chuckle at the notion.
āNo, not that. Although I would take the world by storm if I decided to drop a mixtape. It would be pure genius.ā
āYeah, yeah. What was it for? Now youāve made me curious.ā
Another sigh. āI was working on a comeback trailer for BTS.ā
My heart stutters for a moment. āYou- you what?ā
āI know, and I should have told you all of this-ā
āDaebak!ā I shout into the car, Sebastian jumping a little at my sudden exclamation. āThatās so cool, Bong-cha! I canāt believe you didnāt tell me before!ā
āOh, yeah. Yeah, it is amazing, isnāt it? Theyāre kind of going for this intense dystopian feel and somebody recommended me to them because theyād seen āTrue Liesā, isnāt that great? I still canāt believe it.ā
Bong-cha deserves every ounce of credit that comes her way, I couldnāt be happier for her. Then I remember my current situation, and the questions Iām dying to ask her are all jumping for attention. I bite them down, reminding myself that this isnāt about me.
āI told you that the soundtrack for āTrue Liesā was perfect, didnāt I? See, you should listen to me more often.ā
A half-hearted chuckle from the other end of the phone. āI guess I should. But Cara, thatās not the only reason I called. I think I may have screwed something up.ā
If my heart keeps stuttering I may die. Trying not to jump to any conclusions, I struggle to keep the apprehension out of my voice. āOk...what happened?ā
āWell...I worked a lot with all the boys, theyāre very hands on in the whole process.ā
āOk.ā
āI especially worked a lot with Suga because heās very talented at producing music and all that, so he had a lot of say in the overall vibe and feel of the piece. Anyways, as you can imagine, we had to spend a lot of time together and we actually became pretty good friends...ā
A yellow bike is being parked in a bike rack painted with red flowers and vines. Itās outside of the kind of cafe you only see in movies, and a young woman sits by the window with a book in hand. Sheās lost in thought, no longer looking down at her book but instead watching the cars as they pass by. One hand rests idly around her drink which is still full. We make eye contact for a single second before I speed by, and I know that Iāll never see her again but I canāt help but wish I was her.
If I were her I could sit there calmly, not worried about much except for not spilling my drink on my novel. I would admire the yellow bike in the rack, and think up bike routes that I could enjoy. I would pack my book in the little basket between the handlebars and I would wait for a sunny day to go out and read.
Just my bike, book, and me.
Jumping a little as we pass over a speed bump Iām ripped from my alternate reality and drink in the words that Bong-cha speaks as delicately as possible.
ā...we talked a lot, and eventually I started talking about my friends. You know, pretty normal, isnāt it? Ā Everyone talks about their best friends. I mentioned you, of course. Explained how we lived together for however long, like what, four years? Two in the states and two in Seoul? Anyways, I was going on about you because āUnder Nineā has been so huge and itās like you finally had your big break.ā
Coaxing my jaw to move from its stiff position, I form a sentence. āBong-cha, just tell me.ā
Thereās a two second pause before she dives back in. āHeād seen the film, said that you seemed cool. And I just started thinking about it and I thought that you two would be so cute together. And he just seems...lonely. Is that weird? And youāre always so stressed with trying to find the next big project so I just talked you up but...I- I didnāt tell him to date you or anything, I swear! I just said that you two should be friends. Thatās all, I swear.ā
Somehow the spike in heart rate I was expecting never comes. Instead, I almost feel Ā more at ease. At least Iām starting to understand how this got started. It all seemed too disconnected before, like he just picked my name out of a hat and decided to have some fun with it.
āSo...do you know why he said those things in the interview? Because that wasnāt exactly a call for friendship. At least, if thatās how he meant it, he failed. Big time. And now Iām paying the price.ā
I canāt keep the bite out of my voice toward the end, and Sebastian doesnāt need to be fluent in the language to understand that tone.
āYou ok?ā he mouths. I nod and roll my neck in an attempt to relax. I donāt want Bong-cha to think that Iām mad at her. If anything, Iām flattered that she even thought to act as a sponsor for me to one of the most famous rappers in the world, however misguided her intentions.
āI know. I know, trust me, I talked to him about it.ā
I wasnāt expecting that. They must be pretty good friends if Bong-cha feels comfortable calling him out on this. āYou did?ā
She chuckles. āI know, shocking. I just feel partially responsible for all of this. Then when I saw that video in your hotel room-ā
āWait, you saw that? I thought they were able to take that down in time.ā
āWell, it was live when she was filming it. So she had to stop the filming but it was already out in the world. If it makes you feel any better, most people feel bad for you. You reacted really well in the video. Didnāt even say anything. Yoongi felt horrible when-ā
āHold up, hold up.ā The words tumble from my mouth before she can continue. āYouāre telling me that he actually saw that? And you talked to him about all of this? What is he saying?ā
āI would tell you if you would quit interrupting me.ā
āSorry.ā A hint of a smile tugs at my lips, the head strong Bong-cha I know so well reappearing.
āAnyways, as I was saying he felt horrible once he saw the video. Obviously we knew that it was probably a little crazy for you, especially with interviews and stuff. But I think even the guys were surprised to hear about you having stalkers and stuff.ā
āThe guys as inā¦ā
āAs in the guys. Jin and Jimin and-ā
āYeah. Yep. Got it.ā Iām not sure whether I should laugh or cry, so I settle for shock.
āI talked to Yoongi about it, though. They all feel horrible about it, really. I guess after I talked about you so much he got curious and started doing some research and trying to figure out who you were. You know, kind of like friend shopping.ā
āIs that a thing?ā
āSure, when youāre that crazy famous it is. You have to make sure the person you want to befriend isnāt some psycho in disguise.ā
I snort. āI am a psycho, though. I donāt even try to hide it.ā
Bong-cha chuckles, in full agreement with me. āTrust me, I know. But I donāt know, maybe he thinks itās endearing? I mean, look at his closest friends. Compared to the rest of the members, youāre pretty tame. Theyāre all nuts.ā
Just from the way Bong-cha speaks about the band I can tell that she really loved spending her time working with them. It would appear they all became fast friends. I canāt say that surprises me; sheās always had a knack for making friends.
āAlright, if you say so.ā
āAnyways, I guess the guys were just giving him a hard time because he was always watching your stuff. Everyone took it too far in that interview. I mean, honestly speaking, I think they want him to get a girlfriend as badly as I do, but,ā she keeps chattering away as she senses my impending interruption, āthey realize that this wasnāt the best way to go about everything. Trust me when I say that their agency practically skinned them alive when the interview went viral.ā
I suppose it makes sense to a certain point, but thereās still one outlier in all this information. If this is purely just an innocent mistake, then why on earth would Yoongi fan the flame by inviting us to the film festival in Seoul? And publicly RSVP?
I ask Bong-cha as much, the skepticism thick in my voice. āI just donāt get it, I guess.ā
Bong-cha curses on the other side, and I can practically see her rolling her eyes. āThat is precisely why all of the boys have basically been in time out for the past couple of weeks. Remember when I said that the other boys want Yoongi to get moving as much as I do?ā
āYeah? I donāt followā¦ā
Bong-cha laughs at the situation, the sound of it only worrying me more. āThat wasnāt Yoongi that invited you guys and RSVPd.ā
I nearly choke at the new information. The anger I feel is red-hot. Somebody really is trying to sabotage my career, arenāt they? āW-who? Who would do that? Why havenāt they said anything about that? Clearly someone is trying to ruin my career, and possibly his as well. Wouldnāt BigHit do someth-ā
āHey! Listen to me you psycho!ā Bong-cha yells through the phone, barely able to get me to shut up for more than two seconds. āAre you even listening to me at all? I just said that the others are pushing for you and Yoongi, too. Nobody is trying to destroy your career.ā She pauses, and for once I donāt interrupt her. Instead I wait with bated breath for her to continue. āYou should have seen Yoongiās face when Jin told him what he did.ā
Jin? Kim Seokjin? What did he do?
āWhat do you mean? What did Jin do?ā
A sigh of long-suffering. āHeās the one that invited you guys. And made sure Yoongi would have to be there to face you by publicly RSVPing him. Got it?ā
āWhy would he do that?ā I ask myself the question more than anything. Bong-cha still responds though, the smirk evident in her tone.
āYouāll just have to ask him in person when you get here, wonāt you? Make sure you save me a seat. I want to be there for this.ā

I believe @scullysflannel made an interesting point about how the series set up Mulder and Scully running away together.
And thatās such a compelling observation because they were on the run for a little bit in the blessing way trilogy.
Of all of the ways the series finale failed, the reality that Mulder and Scully would run away together wasnāt one of them. That was a given and itās not something Iāve ever heard criticized.
Although the precedence already existed, thatās not why the observation is compelling. Unintentionally, the series proved why these two would give up everything for each other. That running away together is not only a natural conclusion, but a given.
Itās one of the things the series earned.
Even back in S2/3, we donāt doubt that Scully would run away with Mulder.
Thatās insane right?
In two seasons, they established Mulder and Scullyās relationship so well that we believe theyād leave their lives behind and live a life on the run.
The same woman who listened to gossip about āspookyā Mulder and undoubtedly chuckled at a joke or two about him, risked it all for that same man two years later.
Mulder whoās a loner that doesnāt trust anyone, exchanged his āsisterā for this same woman and left it up to her as to whether or not they should go on the run.
How did the series set this up?
Regardless of their differences, they established in the first episode that Mulder and Scully care about the truth above all else. After Mulder realizes that Scully has integrity and Scully realizes that Mulder isnāt a quack, these work toward trusting each other (which happens quick) and not doubting or undermining the other. They talk shit out professionally.
In the first season, we watch as they grow to care about each other. Part because they genuinely like one another, but also they value each other professionally. Furthermore, it cannot be understated the type of work environment they endured day in and day out. Itās just the two of them investigating and protecting each other from unusual shit. Theyāre forever bonded of these experiences as well as the freaking conspiracy that they both know is a thing.
Again, the first season alone!
Then, Scully gets abducted and the stakes rise exponentially!
We see the lengths Mulder would go for Scully and we see Scully unapologetically view the x files as her salvationāa place for answers and truth.
They were put through the ringer that first year and the second.
After the blessing way trilogy, their devotion is cemented in a way that canāt be put into words.
But, I often think about how they view each other: truth. That they keep themselves honest according to the otherās beliefs and convictions.
Scully believes without a shadow of a doubt that Mulder would never physically hurt her and sheās never been proven wrong. (Clearly Mulder believes this since sheās his doctor. Lol) but, that kind of faith in someone and fo never be wrong. Even when Mulder was out of his mind, Scully knew their bond was stronger than his current state.
And regardless of how much Scully challenges him, he expects her to keep him honest.
This is getting away from me, but we have two people who completely and utterly trust each other. We have Scully locked up in contempt and willing to be locked up a second time to protect Mulder. We have Mulder overwhelmed with guilt about her abduction, her cancer, and his role in all that and contemplate taking his own life.
We have two people break rules for each other and compromise what would be non negotiables to others.
We see Scully do an illegal autopsy and Mulder fly to Antarctica to save her. We see them only feel the safest together than apart. We see them literally place their health and wellness in each otherās hands constantly.
We see them prioritize each other over anyone or anything.
So, itās not a surprise to see them in a motel room together after breaking Mulder out of prison.
Do we think Mulder would stay away from Scully for years? Do we think Scully would sleep well at night wondering about Mulderās wellbeing???
Either they both stay or they both go, but they arenāt being separated again or in a way thatās final.
Which was why they had to leave.
And every time I see that last scene, I want to watch the pilot all over again. I want to see how these two strangers became the most important people to one another bar none.

Terrified: Part 9 (final)
Raph x Reader
Synopsis: Raph saves you from ruffians one night in an alley after watching out for you for weeks without you knowing. Which leads you to getting to know the guys and becoming part of the family. But Raph keeps a distance and you donāt understand why.Ā
Word Count: 1364
Warnings: happy, happy, happy!
*A/N: I just realized I made an error....reader has a roommate and I wrote somewhere that reader lost their apartment. Letās all pretend readerās friend had no choice but to find a roommate so friend had to kick them out since reader lost their job. (hopefully that all made sense) Please and thank you!Ā
Also, this fic got so outta hand! It was originally supposed to be a one-shot, then it morphed, then it became a black hole, and now...well this is the end! Iām sorry if this feels rushed for any of you, I needed to stop before I ended up killing somebody off and had them haunting the lair lol Granted, that would be a good fic...
PLEASE ENJOY & THANK YOU FOR READING THIS ROLLER COASTER OF A FIC! :D you have all been fantastic.
āOkay,ā you chirped, playing with the ends of Raphās bandana. You sounded happy. Too happy. Especially considering you had looked a little frightened a moment ago.
Raph raised his head to find a toothy grin on your face. He squinted up at you suspiciously.
You noticed and let your face fall like it was minutes ago.
āWhat?ā
He didnāt respond as he thought over everything he had said. What was it that made you smile?
āYa seemā¦,ā Raph switched tactics. āI expected ya ta argue.ā
āAbout?ā
āGettinā good sleep-ā
āWell, I do feel exhausted. I couldnāt sleep cos I was worried something bad might happen to you,ā you explained.
āEatinā betta-ā
āI promise I will try. But Iām really not hungry. And food hurts,ā you pouted.
āBeinā glued ta my side.ā
Silence. Your eyes flitted up to the tv as you pretended not to hear him.
āY/n,ā Raph shook you slightly to get your attention, but you only gave him a quick glance. He stood, bringing you with him as he blocked your view of the tv. āI donā think ya understand whaā that entails, Sweeāheart.ā
āWhat, what entails?ā You muttered quietly, looking down at the floor.
āStickinā to my side,ā he gently lifted your chin, forcing eye contact.Ā
āOh.ā
āYeah,ā Raph continued to hold your gaze. āIt means no video games with Mikey unless Iām there. No science experiments with Donnie unless Iām in the room with ya. No meditating for hours with Leo, cos we both know I donā do long meditation.ā
āWhat about tea with Splinter?ā
āI figure ya can drink tea with Sensei while I take care of personal needs.ā
You nodded your understanding. Well, as much as Raph would allow with his finger under your chin.
āAnd last, but not least; hours upon hours of sittinā in the dojo while I get back inta fightinā shape.ā
A flash of fear crossed over your features before you could hide it from him. If he hadnāt been boring into your eyes, looking for any tell tale sign of what was really going on in your pretty little head, he would have missed it.Ā
āAnd ya still not gonna argue ābout it, huh?ā He continued as the gears turned in his head. Which word, exactly, had you scared?
Then it clicked.
Fighting.
You were afraid of him going topside again.
āIs that what this is all about?ā Raph questioned, still not letting go even though his grip tightened a tad.
It all started to make sense.
āWhat is wha-ā
Why you didnāt argue.
āNo, Princess,ā he seethed. āTell me you didnāt.ā
Why you stopped eating.
āDidnāt wha-ā
If you were glued to him.
āStop eatinā cos a me,ā he growled.
Then he couldnāt go topside.
āWell- I, uh- I- No?ā You slammed your eyes closed and a tear rolled down your sunken cheek.
And if he couldnāt go topside.
āYa put yerself in danger!ā He finally ripped his hand out from under your chin as his voice echoed beyond the room.
Then he was stuck in the lair.Ā
āIām not in dange-ā He shook your hand away when you reached for his arm.
Where he couldnāt get hurt.
~~~~~~~~~~~Ā
To say I was scared was an understatement. Terrified didnāt even cover it. Petrified did.Ā
I was petrified.Ā
Raph had figured it out. Somehow. Some way. I could tell the moment it all clicked together. My plan failed. Utterly and completely. It didnāt even last a whole day! How was I supposed to keep him safe now?
āYes, ya are!ā Raph shouted, exasperated.
āNo! Iām fine! See?ā I sobbed out, motioning to myself as if I hadnāt lost the weight. As if I had been sleeping fine.
āYa not fine!ā He started pacing like earlier, fists clenched. āYa sick! Ya hurtinā yerself!ā Raph boomed louder than I had ever heard. āYer killinā yerself, Y/n,ā he choked out, his back facing me as I watched him fall to his knees, head in his hands.
It broke my heart.
I never meant for this.
I never meant to-
āDonātcha see?ā He mumbled through his hands, a tremble to his normally confident voice.Ā
I quickly made my way in front of him to wrap my arms around his neck.Ā
āYer my life,ā he pulled me so close it hurt, soaking my shirt with his silent tears. āYer everything. I couldnā live without ya. I couldnā bear it. Thereād be no point in fightinā if ya werenā around, Sweeāheart.ā
āThen what about me?ā I sniffled, unable to stop my own tears- happy- sad- frustrated tears- from flowing. āYou almost died! If you had-ā
āDonāt say it,ā he rasped, sqeezing me a little tighter, effectively shutting me up.
āYou think I could live without you?ā I asked him, lightly pulling on his bandana tails, silently asking him to look at me.Ā
He did. And those glassy eyes tore at my heart once more.
āI know ya can,ā he whispered roughly. āYa donā need a freak like me in ya life.ā
āYes I do!ā I bawled out. āQuite literally, Raph. Those guys wouldāve killed me the night we met.ā
His gaze hardened at the memory.
āYou literally saved my life,ā I gave him my most tender smile. āWho else is going to protect me, if not you?ā
~~~~~~~~~~
Your words were like music to Raphās ears. His heart soared at the thought of you even feeling an inkling about him the way he did about you. Vaguely, he knew you felt the same, especially with that spark in your eye and that little smile tugging at your lips. His heart melted at the realization.
āI though-ā he cleared his throat before continuing. āI thought I scared ya thaā night in the alley.ā
āWhat gave you that idea?ā You asked gently, rubbing small circles on his shoulder.
āYer were always so fidgety āround me,ā he shrugged, trying to hide how much that really hurt all those months.
āThatās because you hardly said a word to me! Not to mention you only looked at me to check for injuries-ā
āYa really think thaās what I was really doin?ā Raph smirked up at your shocked expression.
āOhā¦ā
~~~~~~~~~~~
Raph had done exactly what he had promised over the next several weeks. He never let you out of his sight. He made sure you slept a good eight hours each night. He cooked and fed you- making doubly sure you didnāt go retch it up.
It was a long, arduous journey to get your appetite back, but you did your best. Every great once in a while you couldnāt help but empty your stomach. Raph stuck with you through it all. Held your hair back, wiped you down with a cool cloth, and made sure you knew it was going to get better- that it just takes time- as he rocked you to sleep.Ā
Most of your time was spent in the dojo as Raph got back into āfighting shape,ā just like he said. He even made you train with him once you started eating better. He said it would be good for you. That it was healthy for you- more than just physically. After each session he would assure you that he would be more careful when he got to go topside again. That he would try not to do anything too stupid. You believed him. You really did. But that didnāt mean you worried any less. Plus, you were coming to terms with the fact that he would never stop his vigilante work. You couldnāt blame him, not really. His brothers needed him. The city needed him. It was part of who he was and you wouldnāt change that for the world.
Even if the thought of him going topside did still terrify you deep in your bones.
Needless to say, you were happier than youāve ever been.You were in the best shape of your life. You got your job back and chose to stay living in the lair with the man of your dreams. When your demons came back to haunt you, your new family chased them away.
You were loved.
You were happy.
And you couldnāt imagine anything better.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To those who have an eating disorder,
You are beautiful. You are loved. Please eat! Your friends and family worry about you. They love you, even if they donāt show it well. I worry about you! I love you! Please stop hurting yourself! Please! Fight those demons! YOU ARE STRONG. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. YOU ARE WONDERFUL.
Those people who made you believe you were anything less than what you are, are WRONG. They are jealous and petty and cruel. If people told you what you are doing wonāt hurt you- that itās healthy- they are WRONG. DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM. You may not know this, but this disorder- this demon- can KILL you. I, personally, do not want you to die.
Please, I beg of you to listen to that tiny voice in the back of your mind that whispers you will beat this. That you will win. That you are gorgeous. That you will be happy again.
If you canāt hear that voice then listen to your family and friends who are there for you. Who care about you. Who encourage you. Who love you.
If you canāt fight for yourself, then fight for them until you can.
With all my love,
KurlyFrasier
P.S. If you ever need an ear, Iām here. Please, do not be afraid to ask for help. We all have our demons to fight.

Any zukaang headcanons?
Ask and you shall receive! :D Sorry it took me a couple days to write this, lol. I ended up having quite a lot to write so uh, buckle up. XP
1. Zuko and Aang get together because Sokka couldnāt watch the pining anymore. Though for Aang it wasnāt pining so much as waiting for Zuko to come to him. In contrast Zuko pined loudly for Aang. So Sokka, who was tired of it couldnāt help opening his mouth one day and expressing his frustrations over it. (I have alternative versions of how they get together, this is just mah fave thought atm. Let me know if youād like to see those alternatives tho!)
2. Zuko deeply enjoys meditating with Aang, though typically their sessions are just Aang meditating while Zuko simply watches him. He enjoys the way Aangās whole body loses every bit of tension and how peaceful his expression gets. Aang usually teases him about it but Zuko doesnāt mind as much as he claims.
3. When Aang gets a bit taller than Zuko he immediately starts cracking jokes about it. Zuko doesnāt really care all that much about their new height difference, though sometimes it surprises him to have to glance up rather than down, and he does occasionally return the sarcasm and sometimes even likes to demonstrate how inconsequential that height difference really is. ;)
4. Aangās favorite thing to do when heās not busy and doesnāt want to meditate is sit and braid Zukoās hair. It was something heād started doing soon following the end of the war. The first time he did it Zuko was confused and not quite happy about it. Though he dealt with it because then Aang wouldnāt interrupt him while he was trying to work. Eventually though, Zuko came to deeply enjoy having Aangās hands in his hair and the braids he styled his hair into.
5. Aang insists on teaching Zuko old Fire Nation dances and Air Nomad dances! Zuko is not happy about it at first. The only dances he learned were the stiff formal ones expected of him to learn as a prince. He remembers hating every second of learning them and the music to which they were traditionally danced to was boring. But....Aang seems so excited at the prospect of getting to share such fun parts of both their cultural histories with him and he just canāt say no. So, he goes along with it. And...he does deeply enjoy watching Aang demonstrate for him. The movements, particularly for the Air Nomad dances, are fluid and beautiful much like the bending style. Itās incredible to watch and makes him feel somewhat connected to the Air Nomads through Aang.
However, watching is one thing. Mimicking said beautiful and fluid movements, is another. Zuko hates it. At first. Itās frustrating for him to screw up the steps and while he knows Aangās not going to mistreat him like the person who had taught him the formal dances, he still doesnāt like failing. His frustrations lighten though with every bit of history Aang shares regarding the dances and their meanings and eventually he starts having fun. And the smile Aang flashes at him when he finally does a half decent job of mimicking him makes any other frustrations disappear as easily as they came.
6. Zuko and Aang both work with Azula through her rehabilitation. I have a very specific idea about how this works but Iām not going into all of that right now because it would be....long-winded. Lol. But during that time Azula becomes especially fond of Aang and even gives Zuko a serious shovel talk when Zukaang become a couple. With Aang she just tells him to take care of āZuzuā. What she doesnāt say is that sheās, in her own way, happy for them.
7. Zuko and Aang travel back to the Air Temples together at some point before Sokka got them to work out their relationship. Aang is excited to show Zuko his home but itās bittersweet for both of them. Zuko because of the intensely visceral realization and understanding of Aangās loss that he has upon arriving. Something that had never quite connected for him was Aangās status as the last Air Nomad with the fact that heās also the Avatar. In his head those two parts of Aang became nearly separate entities. But being in Aangās home, listening to him talk about his childhood, brings these two facts about who Aang is crashing together. And Zuko has to really deal with the reality of all that. Before, the Air Nomad genocide was merely a fact of history that virtually everyone knew. The horror of what Fire Nation had done to the Air Nomads had worn away with time even to the rest of the world. In the Fire Nation particularly, they were all taught it was a victory. A conquest. The first of many.
Zuko was taught no different. So seeing Aang standing among the remnants of his culture and the utterly empty spaces of his home, wearing the saddest smile Zukoās ever seen on his face while retelling stories from his upbringing...it fills him with so much guilt and anger and grief for Aang he nearly suffocates with it. He nearly cried. He nearly shouts. But that is not his right. He doesnāt get to cry and scream over the injustice. Because the loss of Aangās people was directly caused by Zukoās family. So all he can do is lend an ear to everything Aang tells him. Soak in every word and remember every tale. Because Aang wonāt accept the amount of apologies he wants to express.
Thatās not hard though, because heās glad to hear all about the true history there. And while Zuko listens he recalls every time heād belittled Aangās people and their beliefs, canāt help wanting to apologize to them all. So he does, quietly.
Then thereās Aang whoās most recent memory of being there was when heād found Gyatsoās skeleton. A memory he imparts to Zuko later during their visit. Once again the reality of what he lost, and everything that was taken from him, hits him. Heās not sure heāll ever stop being surprised at the utter quiet in the temple, or the emptiness in its halls, or sheer lack of life that used to abound. But heās glad to have Zuko there, who listens intently as Aang tells him all about the temple and the wonderful people that had once resided there.
8. Aang inspires Zuko to become a vegetarian. When Zuko found out people ate turtleducks he was shocked and horrified. Then Aang brought up the fact that all meat was originally some kind of cute animal. Zuko was never able to eat meat again. Sokka hates Aang a little bit for it because he likes meat and the traditional Fire Nation dishes that featured it were some of his favorites. Now, itās rare for meat to be served when he comes by and that is a tragedy he hasnāt forgiven Aang for causing.
9. Aang is not a fan of the servants. Theyāre fine as people itās just...he doesnāt want to be served. At first, it was funny. Their insistence to āhelpā entertaining because they were just so SERIOUS about it. But eventually he grew tired of it and prolonged visits to literally anywhere else were appreciated for the break away. Zuko thinks itās hilarious and even subtly reminds the servants to be extra caring towards the Avatar because he simply works too hard.
10. Even when Aang grows taller than Zuko, he prefers sleeping with his back pressed to Zukoās chest. He likes aligning their scars, likes imagining himself as a shield against any further harm to Zukoās front, and sleeps better when heās held firm in Zukoās arms. Zuko, while he didnāt say as much and teased Aang for his reason, likes the position because he likes being in place to protect Aangās back. He didnāt before and though Aang doesnāt hold any of that against him, he still feels the need to make up for that in every way he can.

hello, friend i said I was going to stalk you so here I am. First, you are amazing and I love seeing you here, second, here are my āØquestions from the other ask with a little twistāØ
How do you get your inspiration?
If you could explain your love language, how would you explain it and which name would you use?
Which are your favourite authors from here?
Which are your favourite fics?
Whatās the last thing you read?
Favourite song?
Favourite food?
Why is your comfort character your comfort character?
When do you realize you found your comfort character?
Which things do you have in common with your comfort character?
I canāt wait to see your answers <3
Hey! These are really great questions :)
1. How do I get my inspiration? Well, a good chunk of my writing is inspired by themes and motifs or even story lines from Taylor Swift songs. Sheās an incredible storyteller and her lyrics are tattooed in my brain. But other than that I get a lot of inspiration from ordinary things that a lot of people experience. Whether itās feeling down, having your first kiss or experiencing love for the first time we all go or through imagine these things. So are happier than others, but they are human experiences. Another way I get inspired to storylines are plot points that I would have included. So Spencer fearing that heāll forget his life and his loved ones. Which is my favorite fic that Iāve written (I think itās called Even Though I Canāt Recall Your Face, I Still Got Love For You!). I also get inspired by the mundane: laughing with friends, small moments with someone you love, a baking project utterly failing (which is currently a WIP). So while it does sound cheesyā I get inspiration from everywhere!
2. My love language? Well, this is all hypothetical because Iāve never been in love romantically, nor has anyone loved me in that sense. But I believe that I show my love through helping people. I donāt have much luck in the friend department, but I think Iād see myself being more of a listening friend that will give some advice or a pat on the back. Iām also a physical person with my family so that falls under affection. Hugs are like magic and I love being hugged and getting hugs. Even though Iām very picky about my personal space, Iāll hug most anyone. If Iām being honest, I donāt think my love language has truly had time to develop. Itās a waiting game, I suppose.
3 and 4. Iāve made some wonderful friends on here! And for sake of not turning into a huge sap, itās nice to have friends ā¤ļø I adore everything I read on here because I know it comes from the heart! I love @shemarmooresfedora and her wonderful little family in Rebuliding Family. I first discovered it on AO3 and asked her if she had a tumblr and well the rest is history! @boldlyvoid is just amazing in everything they do and Amoreena will always hold a special place in my heart. @strawberryspence creates so many beautiful and unique stories that are so brilliant! I love green was the color! Soulmate AUs are a guilty pleasure of mine :) and you, @leahblackk your twin flames lives in my mind rent free
5. Well the last fic I read was rereading @strawberryspence Vienna! Highly recommend if you want to be sad lol
6. The Lakes by Taylor Swift
I canāt talk enough about how beautiful this song is. The idea of running away from a cynical, harsh world into the refuge of a simple life with your lover is already very poeticā but somehow Taylor makes it even more poetic. Sheās just brilliant and have you listened to the full orchestra version of this? Itās wonderful and magical.
7. My favorite food is hard but Iāll never turn down a good everything bagel either toasted or as a sandwich with Taylor Ham and cheese.
8-10 (easier as one answer). So I guess weāre going with Spencer? I think Iād consider him both a comfort character but a character that I can comfort? Does that make sense? Heās kind, sensitive and very loyal to his loved ones. So in my head heās a āsafeā character to relate to and have as a comfort. I think that I relate to him in the sense that we know what it feels like to be alone. I never have had a best friend, or any friends to be honest. And I wasnāt ever sure why. So watching criminal minds and writing for this fandom came from a place of loneliness. And thatās something that I recognized in Spencer. I also have anxiety and the quote that he says āI know what itās like to be scared of your own mindā yeah that was very familiar for me. In a way, comforting Spencer via writing comforts me. I know this is a long ramble, so I hope it makes sense.

quid pro quo
request:Ā Hello!! I was thinking if you could write something with Katsuki where his s/o is a healer / booster for him and his quirk - basically her healing and quirk boosting abilities work best with quirks that are associated with warm temperatures, she can boost his damage by 75% - in short he has to look after her and stuff because when she boosts his powers she gets weak and so after fights they snuggle with each-other in his dorm š„ŗš sorry if this is too specific š„ŗ
A/N: IM SO SORYR LORD HAVE MERCY THIS IS LATE BUT LIFE IS SHIT YA KNOW!!!!! also dont u worry ur pretty little head no need to be sorry! im tryna explore new ways of storytelling so i apologize if this is shit lol. also the italics are gonna be semi-flashback things if that makes sense. AGAAAIIN bnha and katsuki bakugou arenāt mine so copyright go and eat my entire asshole lol. also this aint edited at allllll lol
Ā Ā Ā Ā For having a quirk that works best with quirks that raise the surrounding temperature or warm temperatures in general, Japan wasnāt the best place for whatever god to put you at when you were born. The temperature could get decently hot during summer, that is true, but the winters can be equally, if not more, brutal. Not only did it affect your quirk, but your entire mood and aura. During these colder months, your classmates felt both the cold winter winds and your sour mood. No matter how hard they tried to cheer you up, they couldnāt help that your body simply wasnāt made for the cold.
Ā Ā Ā āCāmon, letās go out and have a snowball fight!ā Denki had suggested from his spot on the common room couch. Classes were over for the week and plenty of snow had fallen on the ground for there to be ample fun to be had within it. Mina, Sero,Ā and Kirishima all hollered in excitement, while the rest of those present either hummed in agreement or moaned in annoyed interest. You, however, didnāt say or even acknowledge the blondeās suggestion, as you were too busy lying on the floor wrapped in a blanket with multiple heating pads on you.Ā
Ā Ā Ā āWhat about (Y/N)? We donāt want to exclude anyone due to health or quirk conditions!ā Tenya nearly shouted as he lectured everyone about the importance of ānever leaving a man behindā. You briefly smiled and thanked the universe for making Iida so considerate (and even more briefly entertained the idea of going out). You turned yourself and all the blankets around you towards the rest of the group and smiled slightly. It wasnāt lost on anyone that the cold was never kind to you, so they all started coming up with ways for you to enjoy the fun they had planned.
Ā Ā Ā āWe could tape the blanket around you!ā Said Tsuyu, pointing to a blushing Seroās elbows.
Ā Ā Ā āNo, we could get one of those hamster balls, heat it up, and put you in!ā Izuku proposed.
Ā Ā Ā āYou stupid fucking extras, I have the best idea,ā came a voice that had yet to speak during the whole ordeal. Katsuki was leaning back in one of the couches, arms crossed and eyebrows furrowed. Everyone turned silent as they looked towards the explosive man, even you raised your head from the ground to lend your ear to what he had to say. You had yet to notice that he had joined everyone in the common room, assuming he went to workout earlier. ā(Y/N), you come out with us and have a good time,ā his lips slowly turned into a light-hearted smirk, āAfterwards, Iāll take you to your favorite ramen shop to warm up.ā
Ā Ā Ā Immediately, the room erupted in noises of confusion and elation. Confusion due to the fact that no one else was aware of yours and Katsukiās certainā¦ relationship and elation due to the fact that everyone could finally go out and play. What you and Katsuki had was a cute relationship, born out of necessity but had grown into something more. He knew that you despised the cold, and that your quirk didnāt work well in it either. He found this out when you two had been partnered one day in a tag-team sparring exercise.
Ā Ā Ā āAlright, (Y/N) and Bakugou, you guys are going againstā¦ā You didnāt bother paying attention to who you were going to battle; all you could focus on was the fact you had been paired with Katuski, your well-kept secret of a crush. You felt your body flush with heat as you searched the training grounds for him. You eventually found him with his eyes already burrowing into yours. You saw the fire within his eyes to be one of anger or maybe even hatred, but you couldnāt have been farther from the truth. You had also caught his eye; sure, you werenāt the most powerful person in the class, but your quirk had the ability to boost those that were at work around you. On top of that, you could also use the same quirk to heal those around you, at the cost of expending your energy and use it to restore another personās body.
Ā Ā Ā āOi, (Y/N), get your ass over here!ā Katsuki yelled from across the small area as he waved you over. Shaking your head out of your haze, you jogged over to him with a nearly unnoticeable shyness on your face. āSo, I have a strategy and youād better listen to it!ā Katsuki nearly spat in your face. You winced, but during the whole time he was talking, you had to focus everything you had on what he was actually saying, and not on his beautiful red eyes, or his soft-looking hair, or his toned muscles, or his plump li-
Ā Ā Ā āDid you get all of that?ā He taunted with one perfect eyebrow raised. Despite your best efforts, you'd had completely and utterly failed to pay attention to his strategy.
Ā Ā Ā āUh, could you give me the short version of it again?ā You shyly asked, feeling heat rise to your cheeks.
Ā Ā Ā āFine! Long story short, you stay behind me and make sure I donāt get too hurt and Iāll make sure they donāt touch you.ā Katsuki started the sentence with a snarl, but by the end, his face had relaxed and his eyes almost held a tenderness to them. You told yourself you were seeing things as you peered into his eyes and just quickly nodded your head. The both of you took your spots on the field, and without noticing one another, you both were glancing out of your peripherals to make sure the other was okay.Ā
Ā Ā Ā This was also when you noticed your opponents for this fight.
Ā Ā Ā āOh no,ā you whispered under your breath. You and Katsuki were up against Shouto and Mina. You werenāt too worried about Mina and her quirk; as long as you could avoid her streams of acid, you were in the clear. Shouto, on the other hand, would be difficult for you to overpower or even avoid. If he hit you with his ice quirk just once, you were almost guaranteed to be done for, for at least the next couple hours. There was fear clearly written on your face as you noticed Shouto, and Katsuki didnāt ignore it. He knew the basics of your quirks and that the cold would inhibit you, and sometimes even harm you far more than a regular person.
Ā Ā Ā āI need to keep (Y/N) safe,ā Katsuki thought as Aizawa started the sparring fight. Part of his mind told him that he thought that because if she went down, most likely, so did he. However, the majority of his conscience told him he thought that for far more romantic and loving reasons.
Ā Ā Ā āCāmon you fucking extras!ā Katsuki yelled and teased as he blasted himself high in the sky, making sure you were moving far away from your guysā opponents. He focused on Shouto and Mina and tried to decipher what their strategy was. Mina started excreting acid from her body as Shouto started to use his ice quirk to quickly strike you down. You were running as fast as you could from both of them to try to gain as much distance as you could before Katsuki could blow them to smithereens. However, that didnāt quite happen. Shouto had absolutely no ill feelings towards you, but this was a battle he planned on winning. Both he and Mina used as much power as they could muster to ensure that you were out of the fight so they could focus on Katsuki. However, Katsuki realized this too little too late. They would take you down, then focus on him
Ā Ā Ā ā(Y/N)! Watch it!ā Katsuki yelled as he lowered himself to the ground close to Shouto and Mina. Despite the short distance between Katsuki and the opposing team, they still focused on you. You only turned around in time to see Shoutoās ice start nearly grasping your feet and ankles; you ran even harder as you nearly hyperventilated trying to run away from him. Katsuki saw the absolute horror in your eyes, and launched himself to stand between you and Shouto and Mina.
Ā Ā Ā Despite all he had given, he was too late.
Ā Ā Ā Right after you turned around for the second time, you saw and felt the ice start to curl around your feet. A harsh scream left your lips, which made even Aizawa cringe and almost call off the whole battle. Mina had long stopped her acid attacks to ensure you werenāt hurt by her quirk, but she watched in horror as Shouto slowly encompassed you in ice. Your body convulsed in an almost demonic way, your feet facing outwards as you bent at the waist as the ice crept upwards. Your screams only increased in both volume and levels of anguish as tears started leaving your eyes. You turned towards Shouto to start pleading for him to stop, but he did as soon as he saw your red and teary eyes. The ice had reached your chest at this point and your arms were held by your sides. The pain you felt was extraordinary; your body felt as if it were cracking in every joint and bone it had. The pain was so horrible that as soon as you closed your eyes to blink away the tears, you had no choice but to finally pass out from the pain.Ā
Ā Ā Ā ā(Y/N)!ā Both Mina and Shouto yelled as your head went lip as your body was encased in ice. Shouto ran up to start thawing you, but Katsuki quickly landed and kicked him out of the way.
Ā Ā Ā āGet out of the way, fucking Half-n-Half!ā He snarled at the Todoroki boy. Katsuki gave him one of the most evil looks he could muster before he turned around and put his hands on the ice around you. Hehastily went to work to get you out of the ice as Aizawa started walking (albeit quickly, as he was concerned for his studentsā wellbeings) towards you all. The ice quickly melted before the teacher could get to the scene, and before Aizawa could put a word in, Katsuki declared, āIām taking (Y/N) to Recovery Girl!ā
Ā Ā Ā Before Aizawa or even Shouto or Mina could mouth their opinions, Katuski had melted your body from the ice, picked you up bridal-style, and started sprinting towards the nursesā office. You were barely holding on to consciousness, but the last thing you saw was Katsukiās face as he ran to get you help.
Ā Ā Ā After that terrifying incident, when Katsuki refused to leave your side even after Recovery Girl had given you the all-clear, it became clear to you and most of the class that there was something more to your guysā relationship than classmates. No one would dare to comment on it for fear of being the object of Katsukiās anger. Which led to this moment, where the class was gearing up to play in the snow with everyone stealing glances at Katsuki helping you into your snowgear. No one had ever seen him so gentle and the look of pure adoration in his eyes was hard to miss.Ā
Ā Ā Ā As soon as everyone was thick with layers and looked like plush, colored marshmallows, the class ran from the common room to the outside where the fluffy white flakes had created a plush playground for them. Small cheers and whoops erupted as everyone went their separate ways, with Momo and Ochako starting to build a snowman with Mezo using his multiple hands to grab as much snow as possible to add to the growing pile. Denki and Eijiro had started a snowball fight between them and Shouto and Izuku, and Fumikage and Toru had started building an igloo.Ā
Ā Ā Ā You, however, were shivering out of your socks. You and Katsuki had barely made it out of the doors before you stopped in your tracks.
Ā Ā Ā āTch, come on, have some fun with these losers,āĀ Katsuki murmured in your ear, causing shivers to run up your spine, āand Iāll let you be the big spoon for once.ā
Ā Ā Ā You immediately ran to join the nearest group of classmates faster than you could say, āReally?ā Throughout the day, you spent quality time with most everyone in the class. Truth be told, they were happy to see you come out of your comfort zone and actually enjoy all the weather had to offer. You even forgot why you were out in the cold in the first place, you were having so much fun! However, as the sun flew threw the sky and evening became night, everyone finally tuckered out and retired back to the dorms. As everyone else went to their respective rooms, you and Katsuki gathered in his.
Ā Ā Ā He knew that spending time in the cold would make you tired and possibly even sore because of your quirk, but he always remembered how to make you feel better again. Usually, it was a bath that he had prepared, scorching hot with a bath bomb or two, take-out, and whatever was on Netflix that fit the mood. Today was no different; as you warmed up and chilled out in the bath, Katsuki called your favorite ramen shop and ordered your favorite item for delivery. After a while, you came out of the bathroom with your pajamas on and a face mask upon your face. He smiled, a smile only reserved for you, a soft and gentle smile he was, quite frankly, scared to show anyone else. You scuffled over to his bed and joined him under his blankets, and quickly wrapped yourself in his arms. Artificial heat didnāt compare to heat produced by a human, especially that of Katsuki. Quickly forgetting both the incoming ramen and your face mask, you fell asleep in his arms as he traced meaningless patterns over your back and scratched your scalp gently. Well, they might have been meaningless to you, but he was consciously drew the characters for āI love youā deep in your skin, just in case you would ever forget. Ā

The Rights Of A Nindroid
Chapter Fifteen
(Prevoius Chapter Here)
(Discord Here)
Been a while since Iāve posted, sorry about that-
Iām supposed to be in school rn lol
When finally taken back to the lockers, after thirty exhausting hours, Cryptor feels as though heās on the verge of a forced shutdown.
The damn brat had switched out with someone else, claiming something about an internship. And that had at least meant that the one hurting him no longer had a personal vendetta, but it was still painful.
Cryptor hates how close he had come to actually asking them to hurt Zane instead, but he didnāt. Though judging by the way the other looks when the two of them are put in the locker, they hurt him anyway.
DID THEY GIVE YOU A CHOICE TOO?
Zane doesnāt answer for a moment, likely out of surprise or maybe exhaustion.
I DIDNT GIVE IN
Cryptor snorts. Of course he didnāt. Heās a self-sacrificing dumbass, and it had been that knowledge that had allowed Cryptor to hang on himself.
HOW LONG A BREAK DO YOU THINK WELL GET?
Itās a morbid game, really, but the two of them had taken to guessing how long they would get before dragged out for testing or torture.
AT LEAST SIX HOURS WE WERE THERE FOR OVER A DAY
Mulls over the words, Cryptor considers the idea. Zaneās probably right, but he feels like arguing.
OR THEYLL WANT TO BEAT IT INTO US WITH A SHORTER ONE
Thereās a pause, and Cryptor takes a moment to hate himself. Yes, start an argument with his one friend, thatās a wonderful idea.
IS SOMEONE HAVING A BAD DAY?
Cryptor snorts. Good, Zane can tell when heās only pretending to argue. Probably picked that up from his teammates.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
The friendly banter continues for a while, but Cryptor can eventually feel himself shutting down from exhaustion.
He taps out a goodbye and a quick explanation before falling asleep, hoping- but not expecting- that theyāll get today off.
{ { { { { { { { { { ~ } } } } } } } } } }
Jay is starting to lose his grip.
Kai had gotten himself under house arrest by breaking into the government building- which he neglected to tell them the location of before doing so- and since they live on the Bounty, theyāre stuck grounded so that the police can make sure that Kaiās not leaving.
Also heās been sulking the whole time.
Itās already been almost two months, but he still has another four left, and everyone on the ship is going crazy from it.
āI am this close to renting a hotel until his house arrest is over.ā Nya holds up her hand so that her pointer finger and thumb are almost touching.
Cole sighs, shaking his head. āIād join you, but at this point Iām scared of leaving him unsupervised.ā
Jay laughs a little. āHonestly, what could he do thatās worse than what heās already done?ā
The two immediately snap over to looking at him.
āAre you trying to jinx it?!ā Cole groans. āYou know full well how crazy he can get when it comes to protecting us.ā
Wincing, Jay accepts the point. āThatās fair. But I doubt he would-ā
Lloyd comes running into the room. āKai left the ship. He tied his house arrest bracelet to the roomba so it would move, and I donāt know where he went.ā
Jay blinks. āI stand corrected.ā
Then theyāre all scrambling to their feet, rushing off to try and find the dumbass hot head that is Kai.
Cole runs outside, probably off to go look at his usual hiding places- heās run off before, but never under house arrest.
Nya goes to her computer, most likely going to try and track his phone- thatās her usual go-to for when one of them goes off to do something stupid.
Heās not entirely sure where Lloydās going, but he probably has some kind of plan.
But before Jay has the chance to come up with his own, his BorgPhone rings with a number that he doesnāt recognize.
A flash of fear takes over him. Oh, Kai better not have gotten captured. What happens if he has? They might hurt him, he might go to prison, he could get into all kinds of trouble!
With shaky hands, Jay hits accept and holds the phone up to his ear.
āHey, this is Jay Walker. Who is this and how have I ruined your life?ā Somehow, he manages to keep his voice from shaking.
āItās more of your boyfriend whoās doing that.ā Sentry grumbles. āI found Kai sneaking into Borg Tower- he was trying to find more hints of ways to rescue Zane. Please come and get him before he gets caught- I shoved him in a back room to keep people from finding him, but heāll probably find a way out pretty soon.ā
Jay curses softly. āOf course he did. Okay, Iām on my way.ā He starts to head out even as he speaks, silently complaining about how reckless his boyfriend can be. He loves him, he really does, but sometimes- like now- he really wants to slap him.
It takes him around fifteen minutes to make it to Borg Tower, and when he steps inside, Sentry is standing right next to the door.
āHe escapes from the room, so I put him in the timeout corner. Heās handcuffed to the wall, but Iām pretty sure that-ā
Jay blinks a few times. āWh- why do you have a timeout corner? And why does it have handcuffs?ā
Sighing, Sentry shakes his head. āThe white nindroids were created recently and are pretty immature,ā he explains, āso a timeout is a pretty effective way to get them to behave. The handcuffs are for when they still donāt listen- now come on, we should hurry before he finds a way out.ā
So Jay lets the nindroid lead him through the tower, trying to stop the way heās nervously jittering. It- itāll be fine, itāll be totally and completely fi-
They come into a back room where Kai is in a chair and in handcuffs that are attached to the wall, forcing his hands above his head.
Jay glances over at Sentry. āUh-ā
āWe have two timeout corners. This one is for the nindroids who cause trouble repeatedly. Or in this case, the ninja who does that.ā He glares at Kai, but the red ninja looks utterly unapologetic.
āI need to rescue Zane. And you didnāt have to call someone to pick me up, Iām not some child in a schoolās principalās office.ā Kai huffs, shifting in his bonds.
Jay starts to try and tell him that heās totally acting like heās just got his parents called in an office, but Sentry shakes his head, and speaks up.
āThereās a back door you can take him out so that he doesnāt get caught, but keep a better handle on him next time. We really donāt need him getting an actual prison sentence.ā
Glancing at his boyfriend, Jay thinks for a moment, trying to figure out if heād actually be able to get Kai out of here without being seen.
āIām going to call Cole,ā he decides, āheāll be able to carry him out of here.ā
āI can walk!ā Kai protests, looking betrayed. āI donāt need to be carried-ā
Sentry nods. āProbably a good idea. He might put up a fight on the way out.ā
āI can hear you, you know! Iām right here.ā Kai sounds annoyed and frustrated, and Jay sighs, feeling himself cave a little.
āItās okay, Fire-Hazard. Iāll talk Nya out of murdering you, so long as you promise to actually stay on the ship this time.ā
At his words, Kai pales a little. Itās clear he hadnāt thought about how his sister would react to him running off.
āIāll behave.ā He grumbles, clearly unhappy about it. āBut I canāt just do nothing.ā
With a start, Jay realizes that heās right. The reason that he keeps doing stupid things is because he needs to be doing something to help- if he doesnāt, heās going to feel like heās failing Zane.
So they need to come up with something that he could work on, some way he could get them closer to freeing him.
Maybe if he was working on part of the planā¦
Jay looks over at Sentry. āWeāre looking for legal loopholes right now, right? Could he help you try and find some? From the computer on the ship, I mean.ā
Kai perks up a little, and Sentry looks like heās considering the idea.
āWill that keep him out of trouble?ā He sounds hesitant, but Jay quickly nods.
āHe just wants to help, give him a way to do that and heāll be fine.ā
The nindroid looks over at Kai. āIs he seriously going to be able to look through legal documents for longer than thirty seconds?ā He sounds unamused, but he pauses again when he sees Kaiās determined expression.
āI looked through a ton of them to break in. Iāll do whatever it takes to get him out.ā
After hesitating for only a moment longer, Sentry nods. āAlright,ā he agrees, āIāll send over some I havenāt gotten to yet.ā
So Jay ends up only calling Cole so that he can let the others know that Jay found him, and Kai actually walks back without putting up a fuss.
It takes a bit of work to get him on the ship stealthily enough so that any potential cameras couldnāt see, but they manage it.
However, when they step onto the bridge, the three others look annoyed beyond belief.
After a pause, Kai chuckles nervously. āOn a scale of one to ten, how much trouble am I in?ā
āEleven.ā Nyaās smile expresses anything but happiness, and Cole and Lloyd look only slightly less upset.
Somehow, Jay manages to uphold his promise, talking Nya out of giving Kai some five hour lecture that would probably make him regret existing.
Lloyd grabs Stabby and re-attaches the house arrest bracelet, and itās not long after that the red ninja is in front of the computer, having about seven files open that heās comparing and researching.
Later, Cole comes up to him. āThe research thing was good thinking; itāll keep him distracted while still allowing him to help.ā
Jay flashes him a smile. āWhat can I say? I actually have good ideas sometimes.ā
Cole smirks. āThatās debatable.ā
āYou literally just told me that I had a good idea.ā Jay reminds with his own grin.
With an overly thoughtful expression, Cole strokes his chin. āDid I? I donāt remember that.ā
āWow, and here I was with the idea that elephants never forget.ā Jay snarks back, barely containing his snickers.
Mock gasping, Cole puts a hand over his chest. But as he starts to teasingly reply, his smile fades, and he looks down.
ā... Zane loved mock arguments.ā He murmurs softly, pain suddenly written on his face.
Jay feels his own cheerfulness drain a little. āIt took a while to teach him how, but he got pretty good at them.ā He quietly agrees as he remembers the difficulty Zane had used to have with humor.
āHe got pretty good at them though.ā Coleās smile is more pained now, but itās there.
With a soft chuckle, Jay nods. āAbsolutely trashed us with them.ā
But then the emotions are over taking him, and Jay feels himself shaking at the thought of his titanium boyfriend. Who knows what theyāre doing to him, from Kaiās recount theyāve been outright torturing him, he-
Cole puts a hand on his shoulder. āItāll be okay.ā He speaks softly, and his voice is uncertain, as though heās not really sure of himself, even though it sounds like heās trying to keep it steady.
Jay nods weakly, feeling tears burn at the back of his eyes. āItāll be okay.ā He repeats softly, desperately trying to believe the words.
In the end, Cole has to coax both him and Kai into bed with gentle reassurances and promises that he sounds slightly unsure of, but at this point, Jayās too desperate to think about how he might be wrong.
He just wants Zane backā¦ is that really too much to ask for?
Apparently, because it doesnāt seem that theyāll be getting him back anytime soon.
That night, even when cuddled in the arms of his other boyfriends, he cries himself to sleep.
Zane will be okay. He has to be okay.
Jay wonāt be able to take it if heās not.

šøā
š„ššš„ for Ramsay boy š (sorry if it's too much, lol, I don't know if I can send several at the same time, you can just choose one, I just really liked these š
š
)
(oh my, this is a lot! tho tbf I didnāt give a limit!Ā š okay, putting this under a cut bc its a long boi)
šø Kissing
Ramsay kisses you like he wants to steal your breath. Itās always so sudden, so rough, and he brings you close to him like you might run away. Itās crushing, really, so you have to push him back and breathlessly tell him to slow down.
... Does he listen? Not really.Ā
You usually end up pressed against his firm chest and the cold wall, holding onto him as he bites at your lips and eagerly takes your lips. Heās just as breathless as you as he bites and kisses down your neck, and you wonder whatās gotten into him this time.
In bed, itās just as desperate, but heāll leave hickeys and rough kisses across your neck, breasts and thighs. Heāll bite where he pleases, even drawing blood if that makes you cry out and gasp louder.Ā
If you sleepily give him a chaste kiss in the morning, or a sudden one on his cheek in the day, he isnāt sure what to make of it. Heāll try to initiate something deeper sometimes, but other days, he looks at you with those intense eyes, trying to puzzle you out.
ā
Sunset
Dreary as the Dreadfort was, it was still a proper castle, and you could climb to the top of the ramparts to watch the sunset, like you used to do at your old home. When you first married Ramsay, it was one of your many escapes. You hid in one of the older parts that was crumbling and wasnāt guarded well. You could disappear for hours up here.
Ramsay ended up finding your little hiding spot, though by that point, you had learned to handle him and live with him. He didnāt understand the appeal of just sitting still and watching a sunset. He was more interested in watching you.
He used to say and do things just to upset you, to annoy you, to make you cry or scream, but you never rewarded his behavior with a response. He hated when you would ignore him, and when your attention was taken away by a sunset, he became agitated and impatient.
āJust go back to the hall, Ramsay. Iāll be there shortly for dinner.ā Gods, he was so stubborn, but you wouldnāt let him take this from you.
Finally, you lost your patience and took his hand. You command him to sit and put his head in your lap. He was confused, but finally obeyed. Like a spoiled child - maybe dog was a more accurate word - he was content to sit there while you pet his hair and freely watched the sky again. You canāt believe it worked.
Sometimes that didnāt work, and he brought his bow up to shoot targets he set up below. You werenāt sure when he did that. It was hard not to be impressed with his skill, especially considering how far away they were, and he was always pleased when you paid attention to his abilities.Ā
š„ Exercise/Workout
You already know the sort of things he gets up to in the forest, and youāll have no part of it. As a result of his wild upbringing and thoseĀ āhunting tripsā, heās very fit and athletic. Ramsay has a lot of energy, you learned. Not even the rain and snow will keep him cooped up.
He would be so insistent on teaching you how to use a bow. If you already knew, heād be delighted, demanding you show him and hunt with him. But if you didnāt ... Youād find yourself in the middle of several private lessons that were almost impossible to squirrel away from. Ramsay would stand behind you, giving you surprisingly clear instructions as you learned to notch arrows and aim just right. Heād even have a bow made for your size and strength.
A good way to keep Ramsay in good spirits was to endure the lessons and shoot with him. He preferred you to kill something, like a rabbit, but shooting targets was fine enough, especially as you began to improve.Ā
Roose didnāt think a lady should learn such things, but you were keeping his bastard out of his hair, so he didnāt complain.
š IntimacyĀ
He is rough and thereās rarely a reprieve from that. He always holds you a little too tight, kisses a little too hard, leaves one too many marks along your neck and collarbone. It doesnāt help that he has the energy level of a terrier, so he wants to keep going well after your legs are jelly.Ā
It surprised you how close he wanted you, how he wanted your hands on him - heād put them there himself if he had to. Heād want you to kiss him back, to bite him, drag your nails down his back until he bleeds. Almost like with the kissing, it was like he worried youād just disappear into the air if he let you go for a moment.
His favorite is when youāre facing him or in his lap, so he can trap you and keep you from squirming away. He doesnāt care about children or heirs, so if you donāt want him finishing inside you, heāll listen and do it elsewhere which is fine because he likes to lick it off you.
When you try to slow him down, try to be a little more tender, it confuses him. He gets an uncomfortable knot in his stomach, and he wonders what to do. When you hold his face gently, or brush his hair away from his sweaty brow, or gently apologize for the bright red scratches you left on him... He doesnāt know what to do. It isnāt familiar... It isnāt bad, but ...Ā
The nights youāre most in control is when heās utterly exhausted, totally physically spent, but still insists on being intimate with you. Thatās when you can push him on his back and tell him what you want, and heāll go along, too intrigued and tired to argue with you.
š Pregnancy
No surprise, Ramsay doesnāt heed his father at all when Roose goes on about producing an heir. Seven hells, heās only a lord in title, itās you and Roose who are doing a majority of running the Dreadfort. Roose often directed his frustrations at you - should you fail to do your duty as a proper wife, heād find a way for you to be ... replaced.
Itās not like it was difficult to end up with child, given how often Ramsay wanted you. It happened, and when you told him, he was confused for only a moment. Ramsay simply shrugged, saying his father would finally stop bothering the two of you about it. So that was that.
He continued to not think much about it, but then you became tired. You were so tired, so fatigued, and often forgetful. You had even less patience for his shenanigans, and when he went looking for you, a handmaiden would inform him that you retired early. As you began to show, and your fatigue increased, Ramsay finally began to accept the reality. He still didnāt think much of what it meant, he thought of it more asĀ āY/N will be back to her regular self once that damn pup is out of her.ā
(Honestly, he had so little parental love growing up, the entire idea of parenthood and children was just ... foreign. Something he couldnāt imagine.)
Ramsay hates seeing you in distress and pain. He doesnāt understand it, and it angers him that he has these feelings, but itās true. So when you begin to really get along in the third trimester, he frightens the servants and handmaidens into making you completely comfortable, not upsetting you, walking and talking quietly, getting you whatever you need. Heād busy himself with even more hunting, getting food you especially liked, making sure it was totally cooked so the smell wouldnāt make you sick.
Roose was surprised, but pleased. At one point he made a cold, off-hand comment about how you could die in childbirth - but as long as you had a son, it didnāt matter. Ramsay turned on him so quickly, a guard almost stepped between them. Roose blinked, unaffected, but made a mental note to ensure the maester had all the tools and supplies he needed.
š„ Taking Care of Injuries
As stated before, Ramsay hates you being hurt. He hates that he hates this. Sometimes it makes him so angry, he has to walk away. He doesnāt understand the sick feeling he gets when youāre hurt.Ā
The first time you cried, he was startled. For all the times he tried to do it himself, it happened when you took a bad fall from your horse. The maester was tying your ankle, worried it was broken, and you were quietly crying as he wrapped it. Ramsay was so upset, he barked at the maester to move and did it himself.Ā
Ramsay is very adept at first aid, actually. He has steady hands to sew up injuries, he knows how to disinfect and change out bandages or stitches. It helped keep his victims alive, after all.
When your hands were blistered from all the archery lessons, he took them in his rough, totally calloused hands and carefully popped the blisters. You flinched and tears sprang to your eyes, and he fought back the angry bile in his throat as he patiently cleaned them and bandaged them.Ā
Now that you thought about it, tending to your wounds was the only time Ramsay sat still and quiet.
When you pricked your finger badly from a sewing needle or a small knife, heād hear your quiet curse and instantly go to your side. Ramsay just had to take your finger in his mouth. He always did, looking at you with those mischievous blue eyes the whole time.Ā
Whenever you have a bruise from something silly, like hitting a piece of furniture, he likes to press on it. He likes the discoloration on your skin, but he doesnāt like the frown you give him. So he kisses it, playing at being sweet, only to kiss up the rest of your body and take you in a needy kiss.
