One Year Ago: Ben POV
Ben squinted his eyes as he stepped out into the brilliant sunshine of the early morning, shouldering the strap of his worn backpack with a huff. The people on the crowded, gum covered sidewalks shot him odd looks and gave him a wide birth as he made his way down the path, but he didn't care, in fact he didn't notice them. His mind was somewhere else.
He wasn't sure where he was going, just that something in the pit of his stomach was pointing him in this direction. Ben had started walking in what he thought was the way to Legend's apartment, but the streets looked so different than the last time he was in New York and he was a little turned around, but he wasn't going to admit that to anyone.
And there was something in the pit of his stomach, some instinct or gut feeling, that was telling him he needed to go this way.
It was an odd feeling that prickled on the back of his neck, as if he'd forgotten something. Ben wondered what exactly it was that he'd forgotten. He hadnât spoken aloud to anyone other than the scientists who kept him locked in a cage so he didnât exactly have a social calendar to follow up on.
I've been locked in a lab for forty fucking years, what is there to forget?
But the more he thought about it, the more it seemed just out of reach.
Ben raised his eyes from the sidewalk with a sigh to look at the people passing by, taking in their new clothing and different hairstyles to distract himself. He frowned at the bizarre groups of people to him that flit by on their merry way, muttering little things under his breath about how things used to be.
Ben had a feeling that he was going to be doing that a lot.
New York City was different, the same, but different. Even though Ben had been gone for forty years, it still felt like the center of the universe. There were still hot dog vendors on every street corner, still magazine stands with freshly printed newspapers that smelled like ink and were warm to the touch, still coffee shops that lined the streets and caffeinated the masses, and there were still cab drivers who wove through traffic as if they were unstoppable shouting at pedestrians as they went.
The memories he had of old New York City merged together with what he was seeing around him and felt himself slipping into the past only to be jolted back into reality by the strangeness of the future.
He didn't like feeling disoriented, but it was there, brimming just under the surface. His body was tense as he walked prepared for anything, unable to relax as he continued on his way to wherever the hell it was he was going.
The morning sunlight reflected off the glass windows of the skyscrapers that worshiped the rising sun and the sounds of the city vibrated against the brick and mortar. There was a buzz of electricity in the air, the low hum of power that Ben could always hear beneath it all. Cars honked sharply, people shouted in colorful language to one another, and the wind rustled through the long strands of Ben's hair crinkling against his ears and scratching against his neck.
He hadn't had time to cut it or his beard and it didn't seem to be as important as finding Legend and getting his affairs in order.
The smell of hotdogs, earth, cologne, and heavy perfume wafted up with the breeze that tugged and pulled at his sweatsuit. The same stained sweatsuit he had found in a rust covered locker before hiding in the cargo hold of a plane headed back to the U.S that was probably almost as old as him. The plane ride had been long, but when he'd been in a lab for the past forty years it seemed to pass in the blink of an eye. He spent the whole time stewing in his thoughts. He'd slept enough and like hell he was going to drift off and let those Russian fucks take him again.
Ben sighed when he felt his memories begin to unravel on the edge of his mind, unfurling and asking to be relived. It wasn't unusual or unwelcome. Ben was using those memories to justify what he was going to do to his old team. As long as the rage continued to burn against his skin, Ben would have no problem breaking each of them down piece by piece.
Ben didn't understand how his team could have done that to him or why they'd done it to him. He thought that he'd been a good leader, a good American, a good soldier, a good hero, and yet they'd all stabbed him in the back. Sure, maybe he'd been a little rough on them, but Ben saw it as the only way to toughen them up. They needed thicker skin if they were going to survive in a world like this.
All I've done is give my fucking life to this country and what did they do? They gave me to the fucking reds.
His hand tightens on the strap of his backpack as he weaves through the crowds, trying his best to keep to himself when all he can feel is his anger and frustration building and burning hot under his rib cage. His new power stirred beneath the surface, energy beginning to travel through his body, tracing his veins and pulsing in the center of his chest.
I should have seen it coming. I should have killed that entire fucking bunch of pussies the second I had the chance. Especially that bitch.
His frowned at the thought of Countess.
Truthfully, when the two of them started messing around it was only because Countess's soulmate had died a few years before and Ben knew he wasn't going to meet his soon if anytime. He'd messed around with plenty of other women for the same reason and wellâŠ
Ben's frown deepened as he stepped around a couple that was walking arm and arm, the dates on their wrists flashing gold in the sunlight. He ignores the feeling that comes when he sees them, pushes it down into the deep recesses of his mind as he has done his whole life.
Since he was a kid, Ben wasn't sure that he believed the "soulmate thing." Sure he'd seen hundreds of other people around him find "the one," but Ben wasn't sure that he was made to be a soulmate. Especially not with a birthdate on his wrist so far in the future. He assumed that it meant he wasn't going to get a soulmate and he'd spent the better part of his life pretending that he didn't care about that. He was a man after all, and Ben didn't want to need anyone. At least, that was what he told himself.
Ben had lived long enough to see other soulmates find one another, witnessed the goofy looks on their faces when they locked eyes for the first time, and had the super hearing to listen to what came next.
But instead of focusing on the impossibility to meeting his own, Ben focused on the lie he told himself, that it seemed ridiculous to be intertwined with someone as soon as he was born. Not to mention that Ben wasn't sure that he wanted to be with someone, not when he didn't age and not when he'd have to watch whoever it was, if anyone turn to dust.
Yes, he could see himself settling down with someone, having a few kids, but Ben wasn't sure that whoever was supposed to be his other half was within reach anyway so why care? Ben knew that he didn't age, but he didn't actually think he'd ever get to meet you or that you would actually ever exist. Not when you were born so far away from him and not when he'd been trapped in that lab.
But that didn't stop a part of him from thinking about the possibility of meeting you. When things were quiet in the lab and he was left alone for a few precious moments, he felt his mind begin to slip into the question of what if?
What if you existed and what if you came for him?
He knew that it was a long shot. The only people that knew he was there were the people who stabbed him in the back. And Ben didn't want to cling to some fantasy, it felt feminine to fanaticize about the person who was supposedly meant for him breaking down the thick metal door and pulling him from the lab.
Again, Ben was trying not to believe in the "soulmate bullshit."
Countess had been a way of passing the time as had the numerous other women, but with them were moments when he'd feel something odd settle in his chest, something that he never could put a name to. In those moments he would raise his right arm and look at the birthdate printed on his wrist, the same one that Ben had kept hidden for most of his life, the one that when he was a boy people mocked him for, and the one his father chastised him for having as if it was Ben's fault that some celestial body had decided to single him out.
All of his childhood friends had found their soulmates and Ben had spent the better part of his life covering it up to avoid the conversation that always happened when someone saw the date. No ones soulmate was born so far in the future and Benâs father had spent a lot of money making sure that word didnât get out his son was a freak.
His father already made Ben feel like a disappointment and a fuck-up, but Ben was already thinking it himself every time he looked at the date printed on his wrist that seemed impossible. When his mother was alive she would try her best to make Ben feel better telling him that it wasn't impossible, that one day it would all make sense, but after her death Ben stopped feeling comfort, joy, and anything warm. All he felt was the cold shoulder from his father and the words that Ben pretended didn't hurt when his father was halfway through his second bottle of scotch with a third prepped and waiting on the kitchen table.
It made Ben feel like a pussy every time he looked at the mark and thought about his future soulmate, but he did it in private, usually after he'd had a few glasses of something and a few puffs or snuffs of something else to numb his mind. And he'd allow himself a single moment to think of you, wonder if he'd ever meet you, and wondered if you'd ever actually exist. In those few fleeting moments he believed in soulmates, but then he'd snap out of it and wake up the woman in bed next to him to distract him for another hour or so.
Ben's eyes flick to his right wrist covered by the gray and maroon tracksuit, his brow furrowing together. He was trying not to think about you or rather the possibility of you today. He didn't have time for that, not when all he wanted was to make his old team pay for everything they did to him.
But there was a little whisper of something in his ear, a small wisp of hope that he had finally made it to you, the one thing he didnât think would ever happen, that he lived long enough to be alive the same year you were, and that you were out there somewhere waiting for him.
No. Ben tenses. I'm not going to think about her, not when those butt fucks need to be dealt with. I'm going to go to Legend's and then I'm going to-
He didn't see you in front of him until it was too late to move out of the way. Your body hits his full on in the chest, sending the bagel between your lips tumbling into the street, but Ben barely feels the hit, what he does feel is the dam he built forever ago burst open and warmth soaks into his body. Electricity skitters along his skin, crackling in the air as his eyes lock with yours only for a second. He feels like he's caught fire, as if the pieces of himself deep down inside are overheating and vibrating until there's nothing left, but you and him.
Any thoughts he had of his team and revenge are lost in the flood of emotions that fill the hole inside he tried so hard to ignore with the lie he continued to tell himself: âI don't believe in soulmates.â
And yet, there you were.
He can hear his heart and yours beating together as one, his own pounding so hard under his ribcage as if it wishes to break free and cross the space between your bodies. Seeing you for the first time feels like taking a bullet to the chest, the sharp jolt backwards when it lands and the pinch of flesh against Kevlar. It was worth the bruise if looking at you was the same way each time.
Ben can feel the world slipping away, going silent, and in that silence Ben is lost in you.
Holy Fuck.
You were the perfect amalgamation of every single beautiful woman that Ben had ever seen and fantasized about in his entire life. And yet you weren't what he was expecting. Over the years Ben had bedded many women, the ones who captured his attention for a night, but none of them were anything like you.
In all the ways those women were bold and dramatic you were confident, but not boisterous, beautiful but not haughty, respectful but not prude, and there was a kindness reflected in the warmth of your eyes that Ben had never seen before, but there it was staring back at him unblinkingly.
You reminded him of the women that came arm in arm with men to his parents lavish parties when he was a boy, the ones who were classically beautiful and reserved with the golden dates on their wrists catching in the light. The exact kind of woman he hadnât seen for the better part of eighty years and the opposite of the women who had thrown themselves at his feet forty years ago.
Your hair falls forward into your face from the force of your body hitting his and Ben itches to push it back, to touch you, to feel his skin against yours to quench the burning that he can feel in his soul.
All of his instincts are telling him to pull you against him, that you're too far away even though you're standing only inches apart. That he needs to breathe the same air and feel the warmth of your skin against his rough fingertips.
The birthmark on his right wrist sears his skin and he knows what it means, that you're the woman he's been looking for his whole life, the woman that always seemed just out of his grasp, the woman that was made just for him, and the woman he thought would never exist.
He watches your eyes widen with the same realization about him behind your round glasses, eyes that are the perfect color and eyes that Ben can imagine staring in to every day for the rest of his life. He'd never wanted to spend more than one night with a woman, never wanted more, but all of that fades into you.
The idea of a soulmate no longer seems ridiculous, no longer seems like something heâd never have, not when heâs looking into your eyes and nothing else seems to matter.
Not when looking at you is like seeing the sun sink into the earth at the end of the day and feeling the hope that it'll rise the next morning.
The lie he told himself for so long is slipping away the longer he stares at you, because although he never wanted to want anyone he knows that he needs you. It's an odd feeling for him. He's never once cared about anyone, told himself that it was weak to, that having a soulmate was a stupid idea and not for him, but all of the things he ever thought about soulmates is evaporating in the heat that is consuming his body by being in your presence.
Why now?
The thought makes the world come back into sharper focus.
I've lived decades without her and now the moment I come back to the U.S I just run into her?
It was laughable .
The moment of clarity allows the fantasies of his revenge to come creeping in and Ben feels the anger and rage ebbing on the edge of the wonderful feeling building in his chest when he looks at you.
You weren't a supe. Ben could tell that just by looking at you. He didn't think he'd ever seen someone so soft and yet someone that he wanted to possess so badly that it almost hurt to stand inches away from you.
I don't want her to be apart of this.
The thought is immediate, stirring some primal urge within to protect what's his. Because you were his. You were the missing piece that he pretended not to need and the woman who always seemed to slip into his mind when he was alone and all was quiet,.
The thoughts of what he's about to do to his teammates come surging up and he didn't want you involved in any of that. Not when he knew that he needed to protect you, that he'd drag you along, and you'd see all the ugly parts of him and see the horror of what he was about to do.
He didn't want that for you, he didnât want the first time that he met you to be like this, him looking like he'd crawled out from under a rock and full of so much anger, rage, and frustration it felt like he was going to explode, him having a new uncontrollable power that meant he might hurt you, and him being unable to give you his full attention when all he could think about was the team that stabbed him in the back.
What he was, was selfish, he knew that about himself.
But I won't be this selfish.
Ben had made many mistakes his life, he knew that, had done some things that he wasn't proud of, but you wouldnât be one of them. He didn't want to put you in danger and realized that there was only one way to protect you, because after all, he was the only one who knew that you existed.
His eyes trace your face one more time, memorizing it before he does what he thinks is right. Ben turns away from you and forces himself to keep walking. Each cell in his body is screaming at him to turn around, to run back to you, but he can't. He doesn't want it to be like this and he knows that you deserve better.
I won't do this to her.
âWait-â He hears you shout over the sounds of the street.
The sound of your voice is a soothing melody, a warm soak in a hot bath, a steady hand against his back, and a salve over the gaping hole where a piece of him was missing for so long, the hole that he tried to ignore his whole life. He grits his teeth and continues to walk away from you, each step feeling like he's walking through tar the further he gets.
And deep down Ben is hoping that he did the right thing and makes a promise that he'll come back for you.
Present Day Ben POV
Why the fuck am I coming to this thing again?
Ben thought to himself standing outside the closed apartment door holding an expensive bottle of scotch. The same bottle of scotch that he was going to break open as soon as he crossed the threshold to get through this. He didnât think that Hughie would appreciate it the way he would anyway.
Probably drinks those fucking fruity drinks with the umbrellas.
Ben didnât understand why Hughie had invited him to this party or why Annie would let him invite Ben to it. Ben knew how much she hated him and the feeling was mutual.
Ben sighs as he stares at the door thinking about walking back to the elevator.Â
Invited was a strong word. Ben had overheard Hughie talking about it in the break room with MM and when Ben walked in, Hughie felt the need to fill the awkward silence by inviting Ben to the housewarming party.Â
Ben didn't know why anyone needed a housewarming party, but he chocked it up to another thing about the 21st century that he didn't quite understand.
He thought about all the people inside that he saw at work everyday, the ones that he tried to avoid all shoved in the apartment in front of him and groaned to himself.
Fuck, I should just go home.
Ben frowned at the thought of going back to his extravagant penthouse apartment downtown. The one that was two stories with a private balcony, six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a study, a media room, an exercise room, and overlooked Central Park with a view that would make anyone else salivate. His real estate agent had been surprised when Ben hadn't batted an eye at the price, but Ben didn't think about money the same way everyone else did.
He didn't have to, not with the money he'd earned over the years and not with the money his father, grandfather, and great grandfather in his accounts.
When he'd first bought the apartment he had been happy to get out from under Butcher's eye, who had a tendency to watch Ben like a hawk whenever he thought that Ben wasn't paying attention. But the apartment was large and cold, furnished with furniture that Ben had hired some twenty year old interior designer to buy, who charged him an outrageous amount of money to do absolutely nothing. She'd called it "minimalism," Ben called it "a fucking rip off."
Not one piece of furniture was comfortable to him and being there never felt like home. Then again, Ben didn't have a "home" to compare it to. His family mansion back in Philadelphia after his mother died had been cold and most of the rooms were closed off and the apartment he had in New York before he went to Russia was almost as big as his new one, but it never seemed like home. It always seemed like a way station, a place for Ben to entertain women for a short while before he went to a commercial shoot, a party, or on location for a film.
Even his cleaning lady and housekeeper would comment on the little things about his apartment that Ben tried to ignore. Honestly, Ben thought that she was fucking nosy, but she did her job well so he kept her on.
That and because he couldn't seem to remember her name no matter how many checks he wrote.
Ben didnât like being in his apartment at all, but he knew that it wouldn't change if he moved. It wasn't where he lived that was the problem, it was that you weren't there with him.
It had been an entire year since he'd seen you and every day Ben walked the same path he had the day he met you for the first time hoping to run in to you. He didnât have your name or your address or anything that he could have someone at work plug into a computer to find you. He'd tried to "google" you, but there was only so much he could do with the little information he had and he didn't understand how to find you other than the old fashioned way.
So he was back to sitting home alone every night trying his best not to notice how empty the apartment was, the one he bought that was more than big enough for two people. Sometimes he tried to stay out as long as he could to avoid going back to it, but each time he went through the front door it only emphasized how empty it was.
Ben's life was empty. He hadn't realized that before, but nowadays he was hyperaware of it. In the past he would have filled his life with women eager to warm his bed, but ever since he saw you Ben hadn't been able to think about anyone else.
Ben couldn't remember the last time he felt this frustrated and it only made everything harder for him. And as much as he tried to relieve the tension it never seemed like it was enough. He needed you.
And after he spent twelve months trying his best and he was tired of feeling restless he tried to pick up a woman in a bar.
Every cell in his body screamed wrong at the top of its lungs when he spoke to her, using lines that he'd perfected since he was a teenager. Ben knew he was good at that, but he fumbled the ball each time he opened his mouth. He tried to shake off the ghost of you, but when he spoke to the woman leaning against the aged wooden bar with a martini in her hand and wearing a dress that left little to the imagination, he got a flash in the corner of his eye of someone coming in through the door and he'd thought it was you.
He hadn't been expected to feel so ashamed, guilty, and embarrassed at the thought of you catching him with someone else. He'd been sleeping with women longer than you'd been alive and he'd never felt that way, but now that he knew you existed and knew there was a possibility of you running in to him, it was all different.
Ben's outlook on soulmates being "ridiculous" had evaporated on the spot the moment he locked eyes with you. He couldn't pretend that he didn't care anymore and couldn't pretend that you didn't exist.
How could he when you were the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen? How could he when a piece of him was with you? How could he when you were always on his mind?
He'd never had a woman have a hold on him so completely in his entire life, but you did.
She fucking does and I only saw her once.
It only made him feel worse. He wondered if he'd made the right decision when he turned his back on you.
Sometimes he liked to think back to the moment of when he first saw you when everything was quiet and he was sitting up in his bed staring down at the mark on his wrist that shone a brilliant gold. His mind would slip into those few moments of bliss and he would wonder what would have happened f he just said "fuck it" and didn't go after Payback, if he'd stopped and asked for your name, and allowed you to let him forget everything that happened in the past forty years so he could start his life with you.
Unfortunately, those moments were usually followed by the same self-deprecating thoughts that Ben had, the chauvinistic ones that he'd carried with him over the years, and the ones that his father had impressed on him from the moment he could walk and Ben couldn't seem to shake.
He'd berate himself about how it was stupid and pussy-like to pine over a woman.
Because that's what he was doing, he was pining over you and he didn't like it.
He didn't want to think of you as much as he did, but he couldn't help it. Now that Ben knew you existed he didn't want to miss out on another moment of your life.
Of course, he couldn't find you and that was the problem. Sometimes he wondered if you were looking for him as hard as he was looking for you, if you walked the same way each hoping to catch a glimpse of him.
The dreams didn't make it any better. He'd never heard of someone living the memories of their soulmate when they slept, but every night he was subjected to watching your life and it only made him want to find you more.
He'd never knew that someone could feel so lonely surrounded by people, never knew that someone could feel so out of place, and never knew that someone could be as sad as you were, but each time he relieved a memory of yours at night Ben could feel his heart twinge.
Ben watched the lonely birthdays you spent with a cupcake and a beer for him, saw the jeers of the people in your hometown and the pitying looks from your parents, felt your shoulders shake when you cried alone in your room and stared at the birthdate on your wrist, and he felt you losing hope as each year passed.
Ben didn't usually allow himself to feel emotion like that, but watching you go through it all hurt him more than anything those Russian fucks did to him. He wasn't used to that and he wasn't used to thinking about other people as much as he thought about you.
But something about him felt different after meeting you.
Ben had asked Legend about soulmates, specifically the dreams, but Legend had muttered something unintelligible under his breath and took another snort of cocaine from the mirror on the coffee table instead of answering. Their relationship had been a little awkward after Ben slept with Legend's soulmate forty years ago, but Legend didnât seem to be too upset about it⊠anymore. Mostly because Legend's soulmate tried to pull a Lorena Bobbitt one night and Legend caught her before any permanent damage was done.
She was in prison, and Ben didn't understand why Legend still went to see her for conjugal visits, but he figured that she was as much of a freak as his old handler.
Just rip the bandaid off you fucking pussy.
Ben thought staring at the clean white door in front of him.
Truthfully, Ben was tired. He'd been running himself harder for the last month, throwing himself into his work because he was starting to believe that he was never going to meet you again, and it seemed like work was the only thing that could distract him long enough. But he couldn't escape sleep.
When he'd come back from Russia, Ben had avoided sleeping the best way he could and he got through a few days before he collapsed. The first dream he'd had of you had come on suddenly, but clear as day.
You reading on your bed in your apartment smiling down at the pages as if it the book was telling you a secret.
Ben wasn't a reader, didn't see any merit in it if it wasn't a western or a war book. The most he could tolerate was Ernest Hemingway, but he could have sat there and watched you read forever. You looked so peaceful, content, and happy that Ben was afraid to interrupt you even though it was just a dream.
But whenever he thought about you dreaming his memories, something dark settled in the back of his mind, because what were you seeing? He'd done a few things he wasn't proud of and Ben didn't want you to think that he wasn't a hero or that he was a bad guy.
Ben sighs and raises his hand to knock hard against the door with his free hand, trying not to open the bottle preemptively before entering the apartment.
"Ben?" Hughie says it like a question when he opens the door, eyes wide with the same stupid look on his face that always grates on Ben.
Ben forces his signature tight lipped smile that he flashes around the office. "Hey there sport."
"Hey. Wow, you're here." Hughie clears his throat and looks over his shoulder as if he's nervous about something.
Ben raises an eyebrow. "I was invited."
"Well yes but-"
"But?"
"Um-"
"Spit it out dipstick."
Hughie clears his throat. "I didn't think you would come."
Fuck I should have stayed home. He doesn't want me here, neither does his fucking beard.
Ben frowns listening to where Annie groans under her breath further inside the apartment and talks low under her breath to someone that Ben can't see.
"Well surprise and congratulations or whatever." Ben rolls his eyes holding out the bottle of scotch. He was hesitant to lose sight of it, not when talking to Hughie for less than five minutes made him want to down the whole bottle.
"Oh wow this is really," Hughie's eyes widen as he takes in the label and realize how much money Ben spent on the bottle. "Expensive stuff, thanks Ben."
"It'll put some hair on your chest." Ben claps Hughie hard on the shoulder as he pushes past him into the foyer of the apartment.
The entire apartment could have fit in Ben's living room and kitchen. It was made in a similar fashion to his, sleek white walls, sterling silver appliances, large glass windows that let in the light-
Ben stops so suddenly inside the area that leads into the kitchen that Hughie plows into his back, but Ben doesn't feel it.
He can't move, can't breathe, because he's noticed the person talking to Annie is you. This was the last place that he'd expected you to be, but he doesn't care, because you're here and you're more beautiful than he remembers.
You're standing there pouring ice from a large bag into a pink acrylic bucket with an adorable amount of concentration for such a simple task wearing the same sweater you were the day he first saw you. You're also wearing a little more makeup and your hair is longer, and not pulled back into the messy bun as it was that day, but youâre still you and youâre here.
His fingers twitch with the urge to run his hands through the tangled tresses, to feel if they're as soft as he imagined for so long.
Ben's body swells with emotion, goosebumps flicker over his skin, and all other sounds in the room vanish, because seeing you was like watching the sun rise and feeling the world hold it's breath as it basks in the early morning rays.
And Ben wanted to bask in everything you were, every day for the rest of his life. Now that he found you again he wasn't going to let you out of his sight.
Your soul sings to him as he nears you, the cells in his body vibrating so fast that he can feel every single one begging him to touch you.
You turn into him by accident, sending the bag of ice tumbling to the floor, but feeling your body against his sends him into overdrive and he can't hold back anymore. He reaches out to grab your shoulder as gently as he can without hurting you.
Hurting you was the last thing he wanted to do. And because you werenât a supe he knew how fragile you were.
You gasp under your breath at the contact from his hand, but to Ben it sounds thunderous in his ears. Ben trails his hand across your shoulder, up your neck, to cup your chin and raise your face to look at him. He feels like his whole body is igniting as he makes contact with your skin.
He can feel an odd vibration in his chest as he does so, energy crackling and pulsing around the two of you, but the rest of the room falls silent. He canât look away from you, not when seeing you again is like staring too long at the sun and he's left with the imprint of your light and beauty on the inside of his eyelids.
Ben can't focus on anything else, doesnât hear the awkward chatter, doesn't feel the discomfort he had upon his arrival, doesn't notice the way everyone has turned to stare at the two of you, and doesn't feel the air conditioning turn on and blow cool air against his warm freckled skin.
All he knows is you.
Your eyes are wide and he suspects his are as well, pupils blown but still beautiful and hypnotic as they were one year ago. Ben feels a smile pulling at his lips and he lets it go, because standing in front of you, feeling like this, itâs impossible to do much else.
Your skin is warm to the touch beneath the roughness of his fingertips and he touches you with a reverence that he has never graced anyone else with, because you were his. Every part of you was made for him just as every part of him was made for you.
The your soul was calling out to him, weaving a golden cord of energy in his mind that snagged in the center of his chest and made him feel whole for the first time in life.
You reach out to touch him, the soft palm of your hand falling just over his heart and it makes something inside him break open to flood the space between the two of you.
Hope stirs in his chest with your gentle touch and your unblinking gaze, warmth trailing from where your hand lays against his shirt. His eyes drop to the wrist to see his birthdate, a glowing ember against your skin where the sleeve of your sweater has fallen down an inch.
Your eyes lock with his once more, full lips slightly parted, and breathless.
"I've been looking everywhere for you sweetheart." Ben murmurs, trailing his thumb across your cheek with a gentleness that he's never possessed.
Ben was not a gentle man, but for you he would try. He would be anything you wished him to be, for as long as he lived, because now that he found you, he was never going to let you go.
And he welcomed the challenge of anyone who tried to stand in his way.

Letâs go back to the beginning of the end of the world.
On the big-screen tv in the Liberty Center at Saratoga Springs, Wolf Blitzer is saying: âWe are receiving confirmation of additional outbreaks of the so-called Florida Fever, the first cases of which here in the U.S. were reported in Miami a little over one week ago. Concern is now growing nationally, especially as the modes of transmission, symptoms, and treatment options remain unclear. Letâs go across the country to Natasha Chen for the latest information. Natasha?â
âHi, Wolf. Iâm here outside the UC San Diego Medical Center where early this morning, two individuals suspected to be suffering from the illness were admitted. Iâve been informed by hospital staff that both patients are currently in stable condition, but there is still so much confusion and conflicting information regarding this âFlorida Fever,â and of course that uncertainty is leading to fear, rumors, and honestly a bit of hysteria. Even how to refer to the sickness is controversial, with no official name having been decided upon by scientists. Cases in Australia are known as Ragepox, the U.K. has dubbed it the 21st Century Sweat after a mysterious disease from the 1500s, and Russia is calling it the Ukrainian Flu while Ukraine has opted for the Russian Red Rot, inspired by the skin lesions that some patients experience.â
âCan you tell us what we do know, Natasha? Are doctors classifying this illness as a virus, or as a bacterial infection more akin to tuberculosis or meningitis?â
âAt this time, what Iâm hearing is that doctors are fairly certain itâs a virus, as patients do not seem to respond to antibiotics when theyâve been explored as a potential treatment. But thereâs truly very little information at this early stage, and I think weâre all being reminded of those first days of the Covid-19 pandemic, when no one really knew how to best to avoid contracting the virus or what the long-term effects would be both nationally and globally.â
âThere are absolutely some similarities, Natasha, which Iâm sure is contributing to the unease surrounding the situation. What precautions are doctors currently recommending?â
âWolf, doctors are urging the public not to panic, and to exercise common sense measures like avoiding crowded spaces, sanitizing surfaces, and staying home if theyâre feeling unwell. Suspected cases of the illness should be reported to primary physicians or local hospitals. Typical symptoms appear to include headaches, fever, gastrointestinal upset, skin discoloration and blistering, and unusual bleeding, as well as behavioral changes, particularly disorientation, aggression, and even violence in some patientsâŠâ
âThat ainât what it is,â Rio says. He jabs his index finger at the tv from where he sits on the couch beside you. âSnowflake wasnât sick, he was dead. He was motherfucking dead, flatline, code blue, crossed the rainbow bridge, he was gone. He was dead and then he woke back up, and he wasnât a person anymore. He wasâŠsomething else.â
âDumbass, people donât come back from the dead,â Mike says from the ping pong table. People are milling around pretending to play pool, darts, chess, poker, Monopoly, Uno, Parcheesi, but really youâre all here for the same reason. You want to know whatâs happening.
Rio turns to you. âWasnât Snowflake dead?â
âHe definitely seemed dead,â you reply, knees tucked to your chest and still watching the tv. Wolf Blitzerâs voice is calm, but his pale blue eyes have a manic sort of light to them, too large and too rattled.
âMan, fuck Florida,â says Desmond, a utilitiesman born and raised Trenton, New Jersey. âNothing but psychos and alligators. Saw them off of Georgia and just let them float away.â
âWhat was that?â Tyler replies combatively. Heâs from a trailer park in Tallahassee.
âTy, why do you care? Youâd be fine. Youâre already up here. You can stay.â
âTheyâre lying,â Rio mutters, meaning Wolf and Natasha on CNN. âWhen the corpsmen called the hospital, they said to be prepared to restrain Snowflake and that he might try to bite us. Why arenât they warning people about that?!â
Kayleigh, a steelworker from Oklahoma City, looses a frenetic sort of laugh. âBecause thereâs no non-panic-inducing way to say: Hey, go buy some duct tape and bungee cords to tie up your loved ones, because they might try to fucking eat you.â
Rio doesnât frown often, but he is now; he slips his phone out of the pocket of his camo pants and types out a WhatsApp message to Sophie. You only know her from photos and quick hellos via video chat, a sweet diminutive woman with white-blonde hair and blue eyes that seem to fill up half her face, as fragile as Rio is overwhelming. She likes baking and romance novels and elephants; whenever Rio finds elephant-themed souveners, he ships them home to Oregon for her, refrigerator magnets and wallets and scarves and snow globes. Sophie wears a lot of long flowing skirts and hand-knit sweaters, and offers strange suggestions when she and Rio discuss baby names: Sage, Fox, Laurel, Coral, Juniper, Karma, Rune, Otter. Otter?! Rio had exclaimed. Babe, if you name our kid Otter, even IâM gonna have to bully them.
âIâm telling Sophie to stay with my parents,â Rio says to you. âTheyâve gotten super weird with all the off-the-grid stuff, but they have yearsâ worth of supplies and grow most of their own food now, and theyâre thirty miles from the nearest town. And no one knows how to defend themselves like doomsday preppers.â
âGood idea,â you reply, watching the tv. Now Wolf Blitzer is talking about tornadoes in the Midwest, and you could almost believe the world is normal again.
A few days later all major social media platforms begin censoring content related to the so-called Florida Fever, and then the internet goes down completely, and then the power turns off and on and off again, and finally quits like a car driven to its last mile. The combat units are moved out of Saratoga Springsânever to be heard from againâand the construction projects paused indefinitely, and one of the master-at-arms that Rio is friends with (Rio has a lot of friends, surely you arenât so remarkable) relays information that he shouldnât: tales of planned missions, impossible plagues, overrun cities, innumerable deserters in every branch of the U.S. military.
âHey,â Rio whispers, shaking you awake one night, moonlight streaming through the windows and the pops of distant gunfire you arenât supposed to ask about. âIf I leave, will you come with me?â
Itâs a big commitment; it could be a lifetime. You fear he might just be trying not to hurt your feelings. âI donât want to slow you down.â
âNo, you donât get it,â Rio says. âIâm not leaving without you. Are you going to Oregon by choice, or should I tie you up and throw you in the back of the Humvee?â
~~~~~~~~~~
Itâs a young one, maybe a teenager, little buds for horns and only weighing a few hundred pounds. This is good; if it was any heavier, Cregan and Rio wouldnât be able to drag it back to the ranch. Youâre still in Red Desert, Wyoming, and the bison are grazing just off I-80, an asphalt artery that cuts through an endless steppe of sand-colored rocks and tall grass. They gaze lazily in your direction with bulbous dark eyes, perpetually chewing, not terribly intelligent. The Colt pistols of the men who found you at the RV had been loaded with 9mm bullets, the same caliber your Berettas take; there werenât many, but enough to fill both of your clips, something that feels like winning the lottery. You are lying on the rocky, dusty soil and lining up the shot. If you miss, the herd will scatter, and youâll watch dinner vanish beneath a blue skyâpale like Aemondâs eye, a weak shallow blueâand rough white scars of cirrostratus clouds.
âFeels kind of wrong to kill a baby,â you murmur. Daeron, Luke, Baela, Helaena, and Ice are back at the house. Aemond, Rio, Cregan, Rhaena, and Aegon are here on the ground with you; Aegon insisted upon being brought along, and Rio agreed to carry him. Aegon had never seen American bison outside of the Oregon Trail computer game, those pixelated brown blobs migrating across the screen no more material than unicorns or faeries or basilisks.
âIf the baby didnât want to get killed, it shouldnât be made of steak,â Aegon points out. Heâs on a lot of Vicodin, the only narcotic Aemond could find back in Ogallala, Nebraska.
âNo pressure, Chips,â Rio says, chewing on a long blade of little bluestem grass. âIf you miss weâre just going to have to eat each other like the Donner Party.â
Aegon wrinkles his nose in confusion. âThe what?â
âShe wonât miss,â Aemond says, and Rio snickers to himself and gives you a quick wink that no one else notices.
âI donât think one 9mm bullet will do it,â Cregan mutters. âCows got thick skulls, I figure bison are the same way. Youâll have to hit it a few times, and before it can take off and disappear on us.â
Aemond casts him a patronizing glance. âAnd youâve killed a lot of cows?â
âOh yeah. Worked in a slaughterhouse for a while before I got hired by the power company. Hated it, went home and could still smell the blood and brains on myself no matter how many times I showered. Couldnât get out of there fast enough.â
Aemond looks like he regrets asking. Rhaena frowns worriedly at the bison. âWill they charge if someone shoots at them?â
Cregan shrugs. âProbably not.â
âProbably?!â
You squeeze the trigger five times in quick succession, hit the calf thrice, tiny puffs of scarlet mist that spring from its woolly head. It flops over as the rest of the herd jolts into a gallop, kicking up dust and fleeing across the steppe.
âYes!â Rio booms as everyone applauds. âWeâre in business! Weâre having ribeyes tonight! Cregan, my good sir, I take mine medium rare.â
âYouâre getting well done,â Aemond tells him. âEveryone is. Just in case the bison has parasites.â
Rio groans. âYouâre ruining my life, man.â Then he and Cregan trot over to grab the baby bison, each of them taking one of its back hooves.
âSo,â Aegon says dreamily. âNow that Rio is preoccupied, who would like to assist me in returning my disgusting, debilitated body to the ranch? Anyone? Anyone?â
Rhaena turns to you. âWhen we have more bullets, could you give me shooting lessons?â
âSure,â you reply, a bit startled. âReally? Youâre interested?â
âWellâŠâ Rhaena hesitates. âBaelaâs always been the brave one. At home, at school, when we were shopping, even when restaurants would mess up my order, Baela would do the talking and make sure I was alrightâŠand I would literally hide behind her waiting for her to solve all my problems. And nowâŠwith the baby, with JaceâŠitâs been really different being the one to help her for a change, and I donât think Iâm very good at it yet. But Baela deserves to have people to lean on, just like Iâve always had her. AndâŠwhen I stabbed that guy in the RVâŠI kind of liked it.â She titters nervously when she sees the shock on your face. âNo, not like that! Not the killing part, or the gushing blood, that was all super gross. But the fact that I helped protect Baela and Luke? The fact that I wasnât useless in that situation? That was a good feeling. Baela is clever, and sheâs courageous and caring and funny, and sheâs always been better than me at everything, and I never minded because sheâŠshe was like my own personal superhero, you know? But now I feel like I need to start learning how to do things myself so I can help her. Even if Baela is still better at everything, and probably always will be.â
Aegon grins toothily and pushes his neon green plastic sunglasses up the bridge of his nose. âI know how you feel. Itâs pretty impossible to look heroic next to Aemond.â
âStop,â Aemond says, but heâs smiling, and a bloom of bashful pink blood appears in his cheeks.
âYou already took over the driving,â you tell Rhaena encouragingly. âThat was a big help.â
âYeah,â Rhaena replies, a bit pensive. âLetâs hope I can keep that going.â Between the gas Aemond found in Ogallala and what was siphoned from the would-be attackersâ GMC Yukon, you got enough fuel in the Tahoe to take it halfway across Wyoming; but now the gauge is not just at but venturing below the E, and it canât have more than five or ten miles left. That might not even get you to the next ranch, let alone a proper town. You need a working vehicle. There are nearly a thousand miles between here and Odessa, Oregon.
Aegon is pawing at Aemond like a cat. âCome on, hero. Help me up.â
~~~~~~~~~~
âThis is why weâre friends,â Rio tells you as he shovels forkfuls of bison steak into his mouth, juice dribbling down his chin. Cregan gutted the bison and butchered it, then you helped him cook the steaksânot very uniform in size and shape, yet no one is complainingâon a pan heated in the woodstove. You fed the fire with books you found in the house, mostly religious in nature. âYou convince me not to commit suicide when weâre stranded on a transmission tower, you share your Cheddar Whales, youâre good at shooting thingsâŠâ
âHow did you two become friends?â Baela asks. You are all arranged around the dining room table; there are just enough chairs for everyone. Ice lies beneath it mauling on bison bones that Cregan set aside for her. The room is illuminated by flashlights. Baela looks great: in good spirits, glowing, alert, wearing a loose cotton dress that Helaena found in an upstairs closet for her. Baela napped most of the day, something she rarely allows herself to indulge in, and the benefits are evident.
Rio says nonchalantly: âI talked to everybody and she barely talked at all. So of course I had to investigate and figure out what that was about. Turns out sheâs kind of cool. You know the Wheel of Fortune game at arcades where thereâs like a hundred little lights in a circle you have to press the button when the one that says Spin Zone lights up? Sheâs a freak, she can hit it almost every time. Canât sink a basketball or sing karaoke to save her life, but you know, we all have flaws.â
Aegon looks up from his map, which he is scrutinizing as he eats his bison steak. âDo you realize that if we could just stop at gas stations like back when everything was normal, weâd be in Odessa or the Bay Area in fifteen hours? Literally less than one day. Fucking unreal. And yet here we are trapped in yee-haw country, freaky giant animals, no civilization but Jesus billboards everywhere, hell on earth.â He holds up a palm. âNo offense, Cregan. Youâre okay.â
Cregan smiles mildly. âNone taken, Fried Foot. You know youâre a little well done yourself these days.â
âThatâs ableist,â Aegon replies.
âWeâll find gas tomorrow,â Aemond says. He sounds confident because he has to; heâs not allowed to panic, to give up. Heâs seated at the head of the table like a patriarch. His steak is the smallest and the most ragged. He wouldnât accept any of the others.
You ask Baela: âHave you decided what to name the baby?â
âKind of.â She rests both hands on her belly, a globe like a full moon. Helaena glances over at Baela, frowning and preoccupied. âIf itâs a boy, Iâm going to name it after Jace. We had already picked out TheodoreâŠand Teddy for short, isnât that cute? But nowâŠIâd want him to have that connection to his father. The baby wonât have any pictures of him, or videos, or memories, or papers he wrote in school, or ties or rings or cufflinks, orâŠanything. But he could have Jaceâs name.â
The rest of you nod, eyes downcast and feeling terribly sorry for her. âI really like that idea,â Luke says quietly.
Now Baela is thinking, her gaze traveling around the room as she chews on a cube of streak. âIâm not sure what Iâd call a girl. Maybe something naturey like Violet, Rosemary, Ivy, Indigo, FernâŠâ
âYou should name it Otter,â you say, and you and Rio erupt into raucous laughter. Aemond smiles as he watches you.
Baela is grinning uncertainly, trying not to be insensitive. Perhaps people named their kids stuff like Otter where you came from. âUm, sorry, what?!â
âThat was one of the baby names on Sophieâs list,â Rio clarifies. âI vetoed it. Or at leastâŠI think she agreed to cross it offâŠ? Oh my God, imagine I finally get to Odessa only to find out my firstborn child has been named Otter.â
âYouâd have to turn right back around,â you say. âTotal abandonment would be the only honorable choice. Weâd have to start over someplace else. Iâve heard Texas is nice.â
Aegon snorts. âYou canât live in Texas. They donât even have legal weed there.â
Rhaena squints at him. âI donât really think thatâs a concern anymore, Aegon.â
Aegon smacks his forehead theatrically. âOh no, I forgot about the apocalypse again!â
âSo Cregan,â Baela says. âYou were planning to vote for Trump.â
Everyone at the table groans. âNo politics,â Aemond says.
âTheyâre all dead now, so it doesnât matter,â Rhaena adds. âBiden, Kamala, that insane Kennedy brain worm dude, TrumpâŠâ
Aegon says: âIf I was a zombie, I wouldnât eat Trump.â
âI just found that interesting,â Baela continues, looking at Cregan like sheâs expecting him to explain himself. Rhaena and Luke exchange a nervous glance. Daeron reaches under the table to pet Ice; you can hear her tail thumping cheerfully against the hardwood floor.
âI was a Trump voter, yeah,â Cregan replies between bites of steak. Aemond is studying him uneasily, but Creganâs baritone voice is calm. âThat doesnât mean I approved of a lot of the things he did and said. Iâm not a monster, I donât believe in mocking people or all that January 6th stuff. But he was good for the economy. Back when Trump was president, groceries were more affordable, and houses were cheaper, and more companies were hiring. If I had tried to move out of my parentsâ place in 2023 instead of 2019, thereâs no way I could have done it. And I really needed to get out of there. A lot of people feel that they donât have the luxury of voting for the nicest candidate, or the candidate they agree with on social issues. Something abstract like climate change isnât even on the radar. They have to vote for their basic necessities.â
You and Rio understand what he means, youâve both met plenty of people with the same perspective; everybody else seems shellshocked.
âBut I donât want yâall to think that IâmâŠâ Cregan looks around the table, his eyes catchingâinterestinglyâon Helaena, who observes him with a fully present attentiveness that youâve learned is rare for her. âYou know, like a sexist or a racist or that I hate foreigners or anything. Because Iâve never felt that way, and now Iâm very happy to have found you guys, and I respect the hell out of you. And I want to be allowed to stay.â
âYou can stay, Cregan,â Helaena reassures him.
âYeah,â Rio says. âEspecially since weâd probably starve without you.â
Cregan beams, clearly grateful, and there are chuckles and the tension breaks; and Baela is placidly skating her palm over the arc of her belly, and now that youâve eaten all you can, Rio is spearing the remaining chunks of your steak with his fork and gobbling them down. He doesnât ask before he does this; he knows you donât mind. Youâve never understood why heâs given you so much over the past nearly five years. You are eternally offering him atonement.
Suddenly, Baela asks you: âWhat would you name a baby girl?â
You have to think about this before you answer. âWell, if youâre looking for something related to plantsâŠI had a friend when I was growing up named Briar, and I always thought that was pretty.â
âBriar,â Baela echoes, intrigued.
âIt means bramble, like a thorny shrub where blackberries grow. I remember her telling me that her mama wanted it to be a reminder that people go through rough patches and that life gets hard sometimes, but you have to keep going, and eventually youâll find your way out.â
âBriar,â Baela repeats. âYeah, thatâs kind of neat. Iâll add it to the list!â
âAnd youâd have the same first initial,â Rhaena says. âBaela and Briar. Isnât that adorable?â
Baela smiles. âAnd a few Rs thrown in there too. For Rhaena.â
Rio turns to Aegon. âHey Honey Bun, if you had to name your kid after a plant, what would you name it?â
Aegon says without hesitation: âMarijuana.â
Now itâs an hour later, and Aemond is examining Aegonâs burned leg on the living room floor, Helaena holding a flashlight and you and Rio standing by for moral support. Underneath the bandages is a wasteland of red, weeping fleshâŠand yet there are spots where the skin seems to be hardening into white islands of scar tissue. Rhaena and Luke are keeping watch by the windows, Baela is passed out in one of the bedrooms, Cregan is showing Daeron how to put his wavy blonde hair up in a man bun.
Aemond points to a blackish patch on the top of Aegonâs foot, only a few inches from his ankle. âI have to debride this part here,â he says like an apology.
Aegon is afraid to ask. âWhat does debride mean?â
âIt means I have to cut it out.â
âCut it?!â
âItâs getting infected. I have to remove it or it will spread to the rest of the foot and you could get sepsis. I might even have to amputate the whole leg.â
âOkay, cut the dead stuff off,â Aegon swiftly agrees.
Aemond doesnât have any more injectable morphine. He gives Aegon as much Vicodin as he dares and then begins working, carving away layers of dark disease with his scalpel and scrubbing the area with disinfectant. Aegon clutches your hand, squeezing so hard it feels like your bones might crunch, shrapnel-like splinters of marrow-stained organic glass beneath your skin. Rio has Aegonâs pink Sony Walkmanâonce owned by Avaâand takes one earbud while giving Aegon the other. They sing along to Sean Paul songs together, laughing as tears stream down Aegonâs sunburned cheeks:
âWell, woman, the way the time cold, I wanna be keepinâ you warm
I got the right temperature fi shelter you from the storm
Oh Lord, gal, I got the right tactics to turn you on
And girl, I wanna be the papa, you can be the momâŠâ
Now youâre curled up in bed, your arms crossed over your belly as you struggle to fall asleep. Aemond comes to bed late now; each night he waits until Baela is sleeping and then teaches Rhaena about childbirth and recovery: what to expect, what could go wrong. She is a good student, borrowing Helaenaâs spider notebook to take notes and asking detailed questions. She wants to know everything she can so she can help when Baela goes into labor.
At last, the bedroom door opens. Out in the living room you can hear Rio asking: âDo you have Wagon Wheel? I love that song.â
Aegon scoffs. âNo, of course I donât have Wagon Wheel. Shut up and listen to your Enrique Iglesias.â
âYou are so racist, manâŠâ
Aemond sees that youâre in agony, rummages around in his medical kit, and gives you an oval-shaped white pill to wash down with the can of orange Sunkist on the nightstand; Helaena found a case of it in the pantry. âWhy didnât you tell me it was this bad?â
âI didnât want to take any Vicodin from Aegon or Baela. Theyâll need it more than me.â
âYour pain is as real as anyone elseâs.â Aemondâs weight shifts the mattress as he crawls into bed beside you, his arm settling protectively around your waist, his hand covering yours where it rests on your lower belly. âIf the Tahoe runs out of gas, will you be okay to walk tomorrow?â
âDonât worry about me. I had three periods during basic training, I honestly thought I might die. After that I can power through just about anything.â
âIâve noticed.â You feel the soft smile on Aemondâs lips as he kisses your temple. âDo you want quiet, or do you want to talk?â
âTalking would be a nice distraction.â
Aemond wastes no time. âDo you like kids?â
âWell, since birth control doesnât exist anymore, Iâd hope everybody does.â
Again, he is smiling; you can hear it in his voice. âOkay, but do you intend to have your own?â
âYeah, I always envisioned myself having kids. I wanted a normal family and figured Iâd have to make one myself, DIY it, you know? I donât think the plan has changed. Gotta repopulate the earth somehow.â
âI wouldnât try to sway your decision one way or the other. Itâs a burden you should only have to endure if you actively choose it. But if you want to have children one day, Iâd help you.â
You giggle in the dim orange glow of a single flashlight. âHow self-sacrificial.â
âNo,â Aemond says, laughing. âNot like, the making them. I mean, Iâd help with that too, that aspect would be fun. But I was talking about the delivery, and recovery, and taking care of a newborn. I donât know everything, but I know a lot. I could help you get through it. So thatâs an option I want you to be aware of, ifâŠyou know.â Now he pauses. âIf you trust me.â
âI trust you.â
âSometimes I donât know if you should,â Aemond murmurs; or at least thatâs what you think he says as you lose consciousness, plummeting into sleep as if falling from a great height.
~~~~~~~~~~
The Tahoe runs out of gas just east of Tiptonânot a city, not a town, just a collection of service roads linking sprawling ranches to I-80, the only continuous route across southern Wyomingâand Rhaena guides the SUV as it coasts to a halt on the shoulder of the highway. You hike about a mile to the nearest ranch house: Luke carrying the siphoning hose and empty gas can in case you can find fuel, Rio carrying Aegon on his back, Baela walking slowly and with great effort, Ice panting as she lopes across the dusty earth. You canât spot any cattle or horses behind the endless strings of barbed wire fencing. Perhaps they are in a different pasture, or escaped or were stolen, or died of thirst without being tended to, or were consumed by a wandering hoard of zombies, never sleeping and always hungry. The house at the end of the dirt driveway is modest, old, and painted white. The front door is open; the screen door bangs in the wind.
âRock Springs is the next real town,â Aegon says when Rio drops him to the ground, reading his map.
âAnd how far is that?â Rio asks.
Aegon deflates. âAbout fifty miles.â
âGreat,â Rhaena says. âWhatâs the plan, to fly there?â
âYeah, start flapping your wings, little bird. Youâre light enough, you can make it.â
âNo car in the driveway,â you tell Aemond. âNobody home, maybe?â
Heâs scrutinizing the house, his blue eye narrow. âMaybe.â
A thought occurs to Aegon. âDo you think ranchers have golf clubs?â he asks hopefully.
âNo,â Aemond snaps. Rio is now on the front porch and pounding the butt of his unloaded Remington shotgun against the doorframe to see if anyone appears. Daeron is nocking one of his makeshift arrows as he trots around the perimeter with his compound bow.
Luke, peering through his binoculars, points to a large cylindrical aluminum structure about a hundred yards from the house, by a small red barn. âWhatâs that thing?â
âItâs a grain bin,â Cregan says. âFull of feed for cattle.â Ice whimpers at his feet, and he twirls his axe in his large, calloused hands. âAre we clearing the house or not? Somethingâs in there.â
âWe are,â Aemond answers tonelessly. âLuke, Rhaena, stay out here with Aegon and watch for trouble. Daeron, you too.â
âGot it.â
âBaelaââ
âCan I go inside?â she asks. âPlease, Aemond. Iâm so sick of sitting around feeling useless and exhausted. I want to help. I want to do something, Iâm going insane.â
âFine,â Aemond agrees. âIt should be an easy one.â
It is easy, but itâs not pleasant. The house smells like dark, sickening decay. In the living room are the skeletal remains of two bodies, both children judging by the size; the maroon-stained bones are notched with indents from gnashing teeth. Cregan shadows Helaena as she searches through closets and drawers. She takes no clothingâit would have absorbed the stench of deathâbut fills her burlap messenger bag with matches, lighters, batteries, pills. She gives you a bottle of Advil before you can ask her for it.
âThanks,â you say, a bit startled, as you tuck it away in your backpack.
It is not until Ice leads you to the final room, the bedroom at the rear of the house, that you hear the familiar, blood-chilling hissing and moaning of a zombie. It is in the closet, and emerges one limb at a time: one arm and then another, one leg long like a spiderâs, streaked with a thick soup of rotting organs that spills from a gaping hole in her belly like the mouth of a mineshaft. Something has happened to its other leg; it is missing, and the corpse that was once a thirties-something womanâa soccer mom, perhaps, with a minivan and propensity to make meatloaf and fish sticksâdrags itself across the fawn-colored carpet towards you, slow and pathetic. Ice growls and barks. Rio raises his Remington.
âWait,â Baela says. Her hammer is in her right hand. âCan I do it?â
âOf course, be my guest,â Rio says; though you can tell heâs slightly disappointed. He loves clubbing things.
Baela approaches the yowling zombieâjaws snapping, claws swipingâand grimaces down at it, this one of millions of monsters that ended the world, that killed Jace and stole all the rest of her life from her too, all those normal things she was supposed to have, all those strings of fate that the plague cut through like a razor and sent floating aimlessly out into the void of the universe. Then with a scream, Baela swings her hammer and a catastrophic impact crater appears in the side of the zombieâs skull, and it crumples to the floor, its mindless brains spilling out onto the carpet.
âNothing good?â Aegon asks when you reappear in the driveway, popping a Vicodin into his mouth.
âNo,â Aemond replies grimly. âNo gas, no bullets, no food, nothing to drink.â
âI knew it would be lean pickings once we got out here,â Cregan says, and Aemond looks like he could kill him.
âWell, fortunately, Luke might have some good news for us,â Aegon says with a grin.
Aemond perks up. âReally? What?â
âI saw a truck out there,â Luke says, using his binoculars to gesture to the grain bin. âItâs parked between the barn and the grain thing, I can just see the very front of it sticking out. And if thereâs a truck, there might be gas.â
Aemond ruffles Lukeâs fluffy dark hair. âGood job, kid.â And Luke lights up like how cities used to look at night, back when the power was on: Washington D.C., Key West, Corpus Christi, Chinhae. Rio stoops down so Aegon can hop on his back, and all of you trek together across the field.
âNothing,â Cregan announces as he squeezes the little pump on the siphoning hose after opening the gas cap of the ancient Chevy Silverado and threading the hose inside. âNot a drop.â
âFucking fantastic,â Aegon sighs from where heâs slumped on the ground. His eyes are glazed; heâs pretty stoned. He gazes pitifully up at you; you pat his shoulder sympathetically. You and Rio have already checked the barn, dilapidated but perfectly devoid of zombies. The roof has caved in; one of the two front doors are missing. âWhat now?!â
âWe can go back to the interstate and walk until we find the next ranch,â you say, looking absentmindedly at the grain bin. Itâs much larger up close, and rusty in spots. A ladder runs up one side to allow access to the roof. Ice isnât whining or nudging anyoneâs hands, but sheâs sniffing the air as if sheâs detected something interesting, unfamiliar.
âYeah,â Luke replies miserably. âWe can walk another five or ten miles and then maybe find a safe place to spend the night.â
Rhaena shades her eyes as she peers up at the sky. âItâs past noon already. Maybe we should just stay here.â
Rio barks out a sardonic laugh. âIn a house with no supplies and that reeks of dead people?â
âCregan, go kill us something to eat,â Aegon commands.
He chuckles in his deep, gruff voice. âItâs Miss Chips who is good at the killing, Iâm just the authority on butchering at the moment.â
Aemond is watching Ice, his forehead furrowed. âWhatâs she doing?â
Cregan whistles. âHey, princess, you okay?â Ice ignores him, still sniffing, her grey ears straight up in the air. Then it appears from behind the barn: a tiny brown creature, a baby bear.
âAww, itâs so fuzzy!â Aegon squeals, stretching his arm out to pet it. Rio yanks him away; everyone else is backing up towards the grain bin. A second bear cub has now arrived, padding clumsily along, large cartoonish eyes and a little pink tongue poking out from its muzzle.
âDonât touch them!â Aemond shouts to everyone. âGet away from them! If there are cubs, thereâs probablyââ
And around the barn comes the mother, a grizzly bear of 400 pounds. She bares her teeth and snarls, saliva dripping in long gluey strings. Ice is barking viciously; Aegon is shrieking and scrambling onto Rioâs back.
âBaela!â Aemond says because sheâs closest to him, urging her towards the ladder of the grain bin. She gets the idea and begins climbing. Then Aemond reaches for you. âCome on, you next!â
âRhaena, go,â you say instead, and she clambers up the ladder after Baela. Cregan is brandishing his axe; Rio has his Remington in his hands, Aegon still clinging to his back like a baby opossum to its mother. Now Helaena is climbing up the ladder, and Daeron nocks an arrow. You whip one of your M9s out of its holster, aim for the bearâs head, and pull the trigger.
Your bullet hits its skull, Daeronâs arrow pierces its chest; and the mother bear does not die but roars and rises up onto her back feetâtaller than Rio, taller than Creganâand then drops back down and charges towards you and the grain bin. Cregan blocks the way, swinging his axe. The bear reluctantly pauses, testing him with swipes of her claws that he evades. Rio is just a few steps behind Cregan, waving his Remington around hostilely. Aegon is screaming and holding on for dear life.
âDonât shoot!â Cregan yells. â9mm isnât big enough, youâll just make her more angry!â
Aemond finally gets a grip on your wrist and drags you to the ladder. You obey and climb until your feet are several rungs off the ground, then you turn to see whatâs going on below. Aemond, Luke, and Daeron are at the bottom of the ladder, their backs to you. Cregan is still wielding his axe.
âFuck off, Mama Bear!â he bellows, standing as tall as possible and swinging his axe above his head. Rio follows Creganâs lead and holds his Remington aloft. Ice is barking; the baby bears are fleeing in terror. Aegon is sobbing hysterically and saying heâs going to die. âYou donât want us and we donât want you! Go on! Go get your babies! Iâll put this blade right between your eyes if you donât change your stupid mind right quick!â
The bear pounds the earth with her front feet and growls, a beastly subterranean rumble, but she seems to be losing her nerve. The rungs of the ladder creak and groan; you see rust like blood-hued moss around the bolts.
âGet out of here!â Cregan shouts. âGo, you hairy old bitch! Go back to your babies!â
The bear glances back to see her cubs vanish behind the barn. Her mouth is open and panting, spittle gleaming on her pointed teeth; her black eyes are uncertain. As you hold onto the ladder with one hand, you have your M9 aimed at the bearâs left eye, just in case. Aemond is watching Cregan; on his scarred face a sharp severity, fascination and resentment and fear.
âGo on,â Cregan says firmly. âLeave us alone. You belong in the mountains, not down here. Go eat something thatâs already dead, a nice easy dinner. You donât want us. Weâll fight you.â
The grizzly bear shakes her headâflopping ears, shaggy fur filthy with dust and pieces of grassâand whirls, lumbering off to find her cubs. When she rounds the barn, Cregan waits a few long, tense, silent minutes and then turns to the grain bin.
âAlright yâall, we oughta hurry up and leave. I donât think sheâll come back, but she might.â
From the top of the ladder, approximately forty feet off the ground, Baela begins to laugh. âDid that really just happen?! That was insane! Cregan, buddy, you can vote for whoever you want to. You and I are cool forever.â
He smiles up at her, wincing in the bright afternoon light. âIâm very glad to hear it, maâam.â
Rio sets Aegon down on the ground and stretches his back; it must be hurting him. Aemond is taking your hand and helping you off the ladder, and you are reminded of the transmission tower where he found you in Catawissa, Pennsylvania, one of those middle-of-nowhere places like Tipton, Wyoming. As Helaena climbs down, you go to Rio andâwith as much force as you can manageâknead the small of his back with the heel of your hand like you know helps him.
âYou okay?â
He sighs loudly, relieved. âYeah, Iâll be fine. Oh, wow, thatâs good. HarderâŠoh yeahâŠâ
There is a snapping sound, metal squealing as it breaks, and by the time you turn to look sheâs already falling: her cotton dress billowing around her, her arms wheeling helplessly. It happens too quickly for her to screamâfor her to understand what is going on and what it meansâbut there is a stunned gasp and then she hits the ground, and you hear a muffled crunch of boneâskull?? spine??âand she is completely, unnaturally still as she lies on her back, no pain, no words, nothing.
âBaela!â Rhaena shrieks, and she rushes down the ladder and runs to her sister. You are all gathering around Baela, petrified to move herâto make it worseâbut pleading for her to wake up, examining her with terrified eyes. Baelaâs own eyes, dark and glassy and serene, are open only a sliver like obsidian crescent moons. Aemond is asking Helaena for a flashlight and then prying them wide, checking Baelaâs pupils.
âThereâs no reflex,â he says numbly.
âWhat does that mean?!â Rhaena cries. âAemond? Aemond?!â
âSheâsâŠsheâsâŠâ Heâs in denial; heâs in shock. Heâs feeling for a pulse on her carotid, heâs digging his fingernails into her forearm to try to get her to respond to pain.
âAemond?â you say softly.
âSheâs gone,â he tells you, like he doesnât believe it, like heâs waiting to wake up.
âThe baby,â Rhaena says. âTry to save the baby.â And then, when Aemond doesnât immediately understand, she grabs his backpack and begins ripping it off so he can get the medical kit inside. âThe baby, Aemond!â
Now he knows what he has to do. He pulls the scalpel out of his kit as Rhaena moves Baelaâs sundress to expose her belly. She was wearing biker shorts beneath, lavender, cute, something you might have picked out in a store. In less than a minute they will be soaked with blood. Cregan leads Daeron away, and heâs telling him that they need to keep watch in case the grizzly bear returns, but you think it is an act of mercy more than anything else. Ice goes with them. Helaena, her face pale and grave, is shining the flashlight on Baelaâs belly, just beneath her navel.
âAegon?â Aemond says.
âWhat? What do you need?â
âI need people to help hold open the incision once I make it. I have to be able to see the amniotic sac so I can cut the membrane without harming the baby.â
âI get it, Iâm here, Iâll help.â
Aemond presses the blade of the scalpel to Baelaâs skin and draws a semicircle from the top of one hip to the other. There is blood, but it is slow-moving and thick and dark; it is the blood of a dead woman, not a living one. Immediately, Aegon hooks his fingers under layers of fat, skin, and muscle, and opens the wound as much as he can. You and Rio reach in too, and you do this without thinking, without allowing yourself to feel the horror of it until the work is done.
âI canât see,â Aemond is murmuring. Rhaena gets another flashlight and helps Helaena illuminate the area. Luke is on his knees with both hands clamped over his mouth, his eyes glistening with dread and disbelief. Aemond is slicing, pausing to probe around with his fingers, cutting again. Then his arm plunges into Baelaâs abdomen up to his elbow and, with some difficulty, pulls out the gore-covered baby by its feet, a girl, large and limp and silent.
Rhaena sobs, equal parts grief and joy, a smile appearing on her face. âIs she okay? Aemond? Is sheâŠwhy isnât she crying? Aemond?!â
Rio yanks off his shirt and uses it to wipe blood and gelatinous clumps away from the babyâs eyes, mouth, and nostrils. Then Aemond takes the shirt and wraps the baby in it, warming her, rubbing her lifeless little limbs. When she does not stir, Aemond lays her on the earth and begins CPR: compressions with two fingers on her tiny heart, two breaths down the airway sheâs never used. There are no sounds except his efforts. There is no crying when the baby wakes, because she never does.
Enough, you are thinking, as if from very far away: an island in the Indian Ocean, the Appalachian mountains in eastern Kentucky. Enough, enough, enough.
Aemond stops trying to revive the baby. He picks her up and holds her against him, and no one says anything. There is only the barrenness of the Wyoming steppe, an anemic blue sky, tall dry grass that bows in the breeze, black vultures that are landing atop the barn and the grain bin.
Aegon jolts out of his paralysis and reaches for his brother with bloodied hands. âAemond, hey, Aemond, listen to me, it wasnât your fault. Okay? Are you listening? Aemond, man, you did everything you could. You gave them a chance. You didnât give up.â
But Aemond doesnât respond; he only kneels there beside Baelaâs butchered body, her dead baby girl in his arms.
~~~~~~~~~~
âAlys?â he calls, seeing that she never came back to bed. He is lying on his stomach, tangled in red sheets damp with sweat. Itâs hot, too hot, and there is no humming of the air conditioning. When Aemond picks up his iPhone from the nightstand, itâs still plugged in but only at 87% battery. The power must have gone out.
He gets up, rubs the damp skin by his templeâheadache, dehydrationâand lifts open the nearest window. Itâs odd: there is shouting, distant and indistinct, like the sound of a carnival or a concert. There are car alarms too, and sirens, and horns blaring, all too far away for him to see. It must be because of the power outage, traffic signals thrown into chaos, neighbors relaying the latest information back and forth. Thatâs the only logical explanation.
âAlys?â Aemond says again, groggy but with increasing curiosity, concern, guilt.
She started to feel sick last night, a pulsing in her skull and chills and powerful nausea. The possibility of it being the so-called Florida Fever barely registered in his mind. Alys gets migraines, and tofu is a migraine trigger, and he took her to a Thai restaurant (maybe he should have known better) and the curry Alys ordered ended up having tofu in it, and by the time she paid the check (as Alys always did) she was swallowing an Imitrex from the box in her snakeskin purse. She said she was going to lie down in the guest bedroom for a while so she wouldnât wake him if she spent the next few hours dashing to and from the bathroom, a likely outcome, and if he was honest with himself about it, Aemond would admit he was relieved.
He shuffles to the bedroom doorâblack boxers, bare feet, century-old hardwood floorsâand opens it. Now he can hear thudding, like someone tenderizing meat with a mallet. âAlys? Baby, you feeling okay?â There is no answer, only that rhythmic hammering. He realizes that it is coming from the guest bedroom, a door at the end of a long hallway still fuzzy through his half-awake eyes.
It had never felt right, but it had felt good: good in the body when she touched him, good in the soul when she told him he did something right. But latelyâespecially here, in the vast creaking historic house she shares with her husband and her children, who are presently sailing in Cape CodâAemond cannot shake the feeling that this entanglement is a surrender rather than an aspiration, something he fell into and now rests at the bottom of like a swimming pool or the sea, the cold weight of it threatening to pour into his lungs and drown him.
âAlys?â Aemond says, now with profound and inexplicable dread. Outside an ambulance or police car zooms by, sirens blaring. The pounding on the door of the guest bedroom grows faster.
I want to go home, Aemond thinks suddenly. At home, in the Federal-style townhouse his parents rented for him (Criston picked it out, a safe and quiet neighborhood in Beacon Hill, and Viserys paid), Daeron is visiting from California and watching golf tournaments with Aegon on the living room couch, pretending to be interested when Aegon describes the different types of clubs. Helaena, pursuing an Entomology PhD, is researching the Mediterranean mantis, clicking around on her MacBook Pro from the garden in the backyard. Jace and Luke live there too, and so Baela and Rhaena have all but officially moved in, keeping their apartment in Seaport only to have somewhere to retreat to when the Targaryen chaos becomes too muchâŠand so the baby can have its own room. Baela bought a crib, a changing table, a rocking chair, a dresser, and about a million unisex onesies, mostly space-themed. Baela is studying Aeronautics and Astronautics, after all. Maybe one day sheâll work for NASA and fly rockets to the moon.
The door is rattling on its hinges. Aemondâs hand closes around the knob. On the other side is something terrible, and he knows this. But he cannot just leave her. Aemond is not someone who abandons people; he is not someone who turns away from responsibilities.
He opens the door of the guest bedroom, and immediately she is staggering towards him, limp dripping hair and naked like she was interrupted mid-shower: blood bubbling from her gaping mouth and the whites of teeth peeking through the crimson, necrotic skin hanging in strips from her fingers, eyes misty like steam on a mirror.
âAlys, stop! Alys! Whatâs wrong with you?!â
Sheâs alive but sheâs dead. Sheâs yowling and clawing at him, but her flesh is the rotting swampland of a corpse. Heâs pushing her away; his palms sink into her, places he once noticed and then fantasized about and then at lastâeuphorically, ashamedlyâtouched, held, borrowed but never kept. Sheâs trying to bite him. Sheâs trying to kill him. None of this is possible, and yet itâs true.
Aemond flings her away, and the woman who was once Alys stumbles backwards and down the staircase, sick wet thumps all the way to the ground floor, bones splitting through dissolving grey skin, organs sloshing around until they spill out. He can hear her still hissing, flailing, trying to get up again.
Without thinkingâslipping seamlessly into what he learned during his psych rotation is called automatic actionâAemond races down the steps and grabs her by the skull, cracks it against the antique hardwood floor she once extoled the value of as he fucked her on it: shipped east from Oregon and laid in 1912, the year the Titanic sank. When she lurches up to try to bite him, he slams her head against the floor again and again until she is still.
Then Aemond kneels there alone for a long time, sirens shrieking outside, far-off strangers screaming for help, putrid black blood clotting on his hands.

The reader was not born really. More like made to be the ultimate lifeform. The reader is one of the top strongest in the universe, being soo powerful that he has to wear special bracelets to contains his powers. He has access to chaos magic and has a few more powers that only he can use. The reader is a loner and doesn't trust anyone reader being someone hard to approach
CW: Yandere Characters.
Note: This. Is my favorite request to date. Yes, itâs because of shadow the hedgehog đ„°đ„°đ„°đ„°
Also you disrespectful bastard! Those âbraceletsâ are called Inhibitor Rings! Respect the lore, damnit!!
ââ
Feixiao
She first learned about your existence from General Yueyu. Some creation made years ago that was given the title of âultimate life formâ
A creation made to perfectly counter all abominations on the xianzhou, someone so powerful it would take an aeon or two too defeat. Or so she said.
To say little feixiao was interested was a major understatement. If this were true, where were you? What ship were you in? Why hasnât she heard of you anywhere else?
When she asked yueyu this, the general had a face of regret and sadness, before saying the information was classified.
Years later, she met you, the fabled âultimate life formâ was an enemy of the xianzhou. She couldnât believe it, Yueyu spoke so highly of you, so whyâre you an enemy?
And just like general Yueyu said, you were STRONG. Hell, possibly the strongest being in the entire xianzhou and universe.
But, as a general, it was her duty to stop you. So you two fight, and she gets utterly defeated. Sheâd never known defeat like this, power like yours. Just WHAT were you?
For the next days, every general and the astral express crew, even the marshal of the xianzhou had confronted to stop you, all the generals were forced to play a supporting role, as the marshal was the only one able to deal damage to you.
However, it didnât matter, your plan had been successful. Inputting 7 ancient gems into the core of the xianzhou and causing it to self destruct while having some biological monster protecting it.
Feixiao couldnât believe YOU were meant to be the great savior Yueyu talked so highly about. But then, once the gems were entered, a video began to play on everything and anything that had a screen, reveling the dark truth.
Your creator was betrayed, his granddaughter killed by the xianzhou military! And the marshal herself being the one who betrayed the great doctor. Showing long lost and thought to be destroyed footage of the dark incident Hundreds if not thousands of years ago. (Not doing the 50 years ago, cause why not)
It was at the point everyone lost hope. The marshal herself was a traitor to one of the greatest scientists and ally to the xianzhou, even the generals will were shaken. And the astral express couldnât help but feel sorrow for you.
But, with a powerful speech from the marshal, everyoneâs will and hope were restored and the generals, the nameless, large almost unending numbers of cloud knights, and the marshal went down to stop you.
But, the bio-lizard got in their way. It would see its creators plan through the very end. It was a monster, all cloud knights were flies it swatted dead, the generals focusing all their strength to defeat the lizard.
Only feixiao and the marshal were able to get past the impossibly defense of the lizard, who was luckily for them, to distracted to notice. The two ran down the hallway and saw you, watching the fight through a holographic screen.
Feixiao tried to move towards you, but the marshal stopped her before taking a piece of fallen debris and throwing it towards you, seeing an invisible death shield surrounding you.
Marshal: M/n!! Stop this madness!!
M/n:âŠyouâve got some nerve. To betray my creator, get Maria killed! And lock me away for years upon years!!
Feixiao: TskâŠ! M/n, we need you! Please help us!
Feixiao blurted out, much to the shock of the marshal and m/n.
Feixiao: You were made to be the strongest force for the xianzhou!! Why are you so intent on destroying it!!
M/n:âŠ.Doesnât matter. It's all going according to plan. There's no reason for me to help them. Besides, there's no way to save anyone. All of them are unsaveable, pathetic, and childish. Only then will the marshal feel the consequences of her betrayal!
Feixiao: Forget the marshal! Hate her all you want, but not the people of the xianzhou! There innocent! Was this mariaâs last wish!? For you to become the enemy! Hated, feared, a boogeyman!?
Marshal:âŠ.I know what Iâve done to you is unforgivable. I know that youâll never forgive me. Even if you kill me, youâll never forgive me. But the people of the Xianzhou are innocent. I know that people fight over the most trivial things. Some people may be selfish, like the professor said... but they're good, if they try their best and never give up on their wishes. They always have a reason to be happy; that's why you should help them out! Saving them is a good thing! M/n, I beg you, please do it for them! Give them a chance!
The marshal pleaded, bowing to you much to the shock of feixiao. To see the marshal like this was almost⊠fictionally impossible. However, Feixiaoâs words seemed to strike you, as you remembered Mariaâs true last words.
M/n:âŠ.MariaâŠ.
You said as the marshal and feixiao looked up seeing a horrified and saddened realization dawn on you, a single tear falling down from your face, before you forcibly ripped out one of the ancient gems.
M/n: IâŠI have to stop this! I have to keep my promise to her!!
You declared before using your monstrous strength to rip out all the emeralds and jump down from the platform, running towards the biolizard.
The biolizard stopped its killing blow on Yanqing and March as it felt a shift. Something had changed, the xianzhou wasnât shaking⊠you had betrayed your creator!!
The biolizard released a horrific shriek of rage, shaking the very soul of everyone who heard it. The lizard turned to see you running towards it with the chaos emeralds, as you focused on your sadness, Maria, the professor, and your promise to herâturning super.
Everyone could only watch as the lizard and you fought, each impact shaking the universe itself. A beautiful spectacle infront of them as your speed and strength left them in awe, wondering if your power could rival that of the aeons.
Eventually, the lizard couldnât contain its rage nor its own existence as you ripped off the machinery that kept it alive, as it expanded, ready to nuke this whole stellar system. But, you saved them, using chaos control to teleport yourself and the lizard away, FAR away. Managing to somehow teleport it to IX itself, having the lizard be swallowed whole by the black hole of the end as it released its final explosion of energy.
âOkay now that the story is over, letâs get to the point of this requestâ
Your body was blasted away as IX swallowed the biolizard, killing it as its explosion blasted you away. Your body crashed through multiple planets, destroying the rock and any life forms on it before it crashed down onto the xianzhouâs outer ship.
The ship shook and spun horizontally 5 times before stopping. Everyone was confused at what couldâve cause this. The marshal went outside and saw you. You were still alive! After 50 years!?
She took you in and decided to keep your existence a secret for now. She cared for your body until you awoke. After punching the marshal in the face, she began to fill you in on everything that happened after the Great War with you 50 years ago.
Although youâd never forgive her, you needed to keep your promise to Maria. So, you tell her your joining the cloud knights, not to serve her, but to keep mariaâs promise.
She agreed and asked what ship you wanted to join. You remembered that foxian/borisin general. Being the first general you fought, and beingâŠunique, you wanted her ship.
Feixiao was then informed of this which shocked her. But, surprisingly, she accepted with what seemed like⊠joy? Nevertheless, you ran to the yaoqing and met her at the cloud knights headquarters, where she greeted you with friendliness.
Feixiao would have you on the four front of battles, leading a platoon, but you declined. You refused to work with anyone and you would only work alone.
Feixiao felt a little pang hit her but agreed. You were strong enough anyway, so she allowed it. And over the years, she grew close to you.
The battles and bloodshed you two would spill from the borisin was beautiful, watching as your guard slowly but surely lowered around her, seeing you smile only to her made her feel special.
She keeps you as close as she can. Letting you sleep in her house and bed, cooking for you and even wanting to bathe you. Daily trainings with you at the gym, along with hundreds of spars and competitions a day.
To feixiao, you two were already in a relationship. After all you lived together! And you only smiled at her! Of course you loved her backâŠ!
And since youâre completely distrustful of everyone else, the thought of someone stealing you away was laughable and fictional. Itâll never happen.
So, feixiao never overreacts when someone ogles at you or tries to get close to you. Cause 10/10 times, youâd just teleport away from the area.
Kafka
Kafka heard of you from Elio. Apparently youâre supposed to join the stellaron hunters as its final member.
With the help of Sam, she used her webs to catch you and Sam used his mech suit to slow your pace. Simply trying to stop you from falling took all her strength along with fireflyâs mecha suit, which made her even more curious about you.
Theyâd take you back to their little hideout and nurture you until you wake up. Which would only be a month. You wake up and look around, not recognizing the area around you.
Kafka is there though, and she introduces herself to you, along with the entire deal with the âstellaron huntersâ
Seeing as it was apparently âdestinyâ that they saved you, and that this would possibly be the best way to up hold your promise, you accept their invitation.
You go on missions and learn about whatâs changed in the cosmos since the battle at the xianzhou. Apparently a lot has changed, but none that you care about.
Kafka slowly begins to become infatuated with you, you were just so adorable. The âlonerâ demeanor of yours that hid the cutie you were was so addicting to her.
She ainât afraid to show it. Sheâs blunt with her desires and romantic at the same time. Oh how your adorable face lights up with a blush due to your emotional inexperience~
Kafka LOVES to dress you up and do your hair. Also, she sleeps in your room with you. She knows you love it despite your cute little struggles.
On missions, kafka takes the time to rub her thighs and tits against you, to show everyone exactly who you belong to.
Kafka likes to puppet you closer to her, making you sit on her lap and bringing you in for a HEAAATED 1 hour make out session. Purposefully leaving lipstick on your lips, chin, jawline, and neck.
Robin
Robin like everyone else, had heard of you. How your power was rumored to rival that of the aeons. At first, she couldnât believe it, someone so strong existing as a mortal? No way, right?
But then she saw you at the main lobby of penacony. Your appearance matched to what she heard of you, down to your hairstyle and the small details of your clothes.
She was amazed by your beauty, and the fact that you were real. She approached you with Sunday, who had his own interest in you.
You blew them off, not interested in some pop star and her brother. They were slightly put off but decided to chase you, still having some questions of their own.
Inside the actual penacony, robin acts as your tour guide. She doesnât try to dig into your life, as itâs none of her business. But she does want to stick around you.
Your whole dynamic is her wanting to stick around you, and you trying to get away. Letâs skip to when you two eventually get close enough for others to consider you to in a relationship.
Robin is clingy but will let go of you if you ask, and you never ask her to let go as you donât want to hurt her feelings.
Sunday, much to his dismay, uses robin to get you closer to him and the familyâs goal. He plans to use you to successfully enact his plans.
But, youâre extremely distrustful of him and the family. Something about them is just, off. Sunday and the family grow increasingly annoyed at your intuition.
So, they decide to take you by force. They try to use a smaller type of the Harmonious Choir to make you submit. But you easily destroy the mission and go to kill Sunday, only for Robin to step in, begging you to not hurt her brother.
Your eyes grow feral, robinâŠ. How could you be so stupid!? She was in on this! So, you punch her into her brother, spitting on them and declaring them pathetic and a blight of Xipe before leaving forever.
Robin desperately tried to stop you, make you stay with her, but it was no use. Your mind was made up and you couldnât care less about penacony, Sunday, the family, or robin.
So with one more punch, you leave penacony forever, and Sunday runs to his sister cursing at himself for his failure and for getting his sister hurt.
Robin wasnât able to be herself for a full month. How could she? The person she loved had left her and hurt her! And her brother was a catalyst to that.
Sunday desperately tries to make it up to robin, but she just canât bring herself to forgive him. Why did he try that? Why did her hurt YOU. And she hates herself for it.
She hates how weak she is, not being able to stop you, not being able to clear up the obvious misunderstanding between you and the family/her brother.
So, she leaves penacony. She canât live with the knowledge that you hate her. Sheâll track you down and bring you back to her, even if she has to get in her knees and beg.
Black Swan
Black swan teleported you to her little dimension, watching as you crashed into the ground and made the whole place shake.
Sheâs so interested in you. Your genetical structure, your story, your memories, and your prowess.
Black swan keeps you with her. As she wants to learn a lot about you. Sheâs patience, and doesnât try to read your memories, shockingly.
After all, what would happen to her if she tried to pry the memories out of anâŠ. âAeonling?â Itâs just too risky.
She loves to watch you from a far though. Youâre just so adorable. That little âlonerâ demeanor of yours made you even more of a cutie.
Trying to hide your personality from her made her fall harder for you. Also seeing you try to âcall out her fraudulent divinationâ was cute.
She helps you with your trauma while making you more reliant on her. Making you face your trauma in a healthy manner while also manipulating your memories and putting some memories that never happened into your head.
Such as you two going on dates, playing some games, cuddling. Little did you know, sheâd cuddle you everytime you went to sleep.
These memories make you ease up to her much quicker, just as she predicted. She holds you close and hums a lullaby for you, while playing with your hair like Maria did.
Firefly
This one short, cause itâs just like kafka, except sheâs much more nervous and reserved as firefly, yet more confident as SamâŠ.
Yes, this is the laziness and tiredness catching up to meâŠ. Iâm so sorry. Iâm just so tired of this and other shit making my anxiety rise.

How do you th>no the fo4 companions would react to sole survivor using all of the junk that the companions called trash to build a bed or something?
A/N: Thank you so much for the request! I hope you enjoy! đ„°
Cait - "Well, at least you didn't make me lug all that crap around for no reason at all. It turned out at least a little useful."
Curie - "Madame... Goodness me, you are quite the scientist indeed! Or perhaps engineer would be a better word to describe your miraculous work!"
Piper - "Wow, Blue! I promise I'll never say another word about your junk-collecting for as long as I live. Unfortunately for you, however, now that I know exactly what you can do, you're never getting out of making me that new printing press. Muahaha!"
MacCready - "Huh. All that junk actually can be used for something..."
Deacon - "Okay, so I'm going to give you a pack of cigarettes, a desk fan, and toenail clippers. Your mission: make a chair."
Codsworth - "My, my, Miss F!Sole, I knew you were talented but this is truly ingenious craftsmanship! Sir would be so proud!!! I now see where young Shaun gets his talent in tinkering!"
Hancock - "You teach the boys back at Goodneighbor to do that, and I'll pay you ten-thousand caps right then. Full amount."
Danse - "I... wow... I apologize for making any negative comments about your garbage-collecting habits. You are truly talented."
Preston - "I knew there was a reason I asked you to be our general. Nobody I know could pull off something this."
Valentine - "Kid... You're one mystery that I might just fail at solving..."
X6-88 - "As... impressive... as it might be that you used those few strange items to make something half-usable, there is really no reason to use garbage to build things. At least not when the Institute has professionally manufactured, clean versions of those same things."
Dogmeat - Is not surprised. After all, he never doubts the amazing powers of his human who can do absolutely anything she sets her mind to. So when she makes him a doghouse, he is unsurprised but very thankful nevertheless.
Strong - "Tiny human make bed out of junk?! Tiny human must have used milk of human kindness!!! WHY TINY HUMAN KEEP MILK SECRET FROM STRONG???!!!"
ADA - "I am very pleased to see all of my findings coming in handy, ma'am. I will continue looking for more useful items."

The Origins of Anya's Name
*Spoilers for Mission 11*
Thanks to the CDA discord for inspiring me to write this.
As someone who shares a name with our beloved main character, I am just now realising that I have taken for granted how 'Anya' goes through several different spelling presentations in the manga. Blame the people in my life who constantly mispell it, which has densitised me to all the versions.đ
So, I know none of you asked for this little etymology lesson, but here you go anyway đ„°
P1: Anya
'Anya' is the Anglicisation of both 'Anja' and 'Ania'. (It is, in my biased opinion, the best version.)
P2: Anja
Anya with a 'j' (still pronounced as a 'y') originates from Germany. On reflection, it's interesting that although SxF is set in a German-adjacent country, we never see this version.
P3: Ania
In the early chapters, many of you noticed that Anya's name was spelled "Ania" on the front of her door. This is actually not a spelling mistake, because "Ania" originates from Eastern Europe (e.g. Poland or Russia, but I lean towards Polish explanations because that is my ancestry).
The interesting thing about this version is that "Ania" is actually the diminutive of "Anna". Eastern European names tend to have a 'formal' version (the name on legal documents), and the 'diminutive' version, which is essentially a nickname that close friends or family would use.
In Polish, other examples of diminutives would be:
'Olka' for 'Aleksandra' (sound familiar?)
'Basia' for 'Barbara'
'Kasia' for 'Katarzyna'
'Joasia' for 'Joanna' (sometimes people will also use 'Asia' - pronounced 'Asha') - As a side note, this sounds a bit familiar to the previous incarnation of Anya's design, which I believe was 'Ashe'. Perhaps Endo just really like diminutives. Perhaps it's a coincidence.
I also think it's interesting that Yor carved this version first. I'm wondering if it relates somehow to Yor's background, for example if her hometown was bordering an Eastern European country, or if she knows anyone with this background.
If I were use the information from Mission 11 to create a hypothesis, it would be that Anya (the character) likely originates from a Polish/Russian/Eastern European country in the SxF world. I think because Endo has used diminutives for other characters (e.g. Olka), a country like this likely exists in this world.
(I've actually HC'd this for a long time, I've just never had a chance to bring it up...)
Secondly, because the name 'Ania' is also used by friends and family, it is also possible that Anya doesn't know that her formal/legal name might actually be Anna. I would like to believe that in Anya's pre-lab life, she learned that her name is 'Anya' because the name was spoken by someone who loved her.
I'm not sure why the scientists at the lab called her 'Anya' instead of her lab number: perhaps the lab is not located in her home country, and therefore the scientists wouldn't know that the actual origin is 'Anna'. Or maybe they use her diminutive because it is a manipulative tactic to get her to comply with their demands (by appearing more 'friendly'). Who knows.
This could potentially make the reveal of her past that much more heartbreaking, as we don't know yet how she ended up in the lab.
Finally:
I've seen so many more hypotheses and theories from this chapter, so feel free to add them on! Thank you for reading and letting me share my piece.
#spy x family#anya forger#sxf#spy x family spoilers#lassify goes on a tangent again#ania is actually not a mistake#language differences#the worldbuilding in sxf just got a little more interesting

Dividers by @saradika-graphics
Your heart thunders in your chest, lightning crackling through your spine as you lean against the dented RV. Rain pours down like a raging monsoon, raindrops like glass cutting into your skin as you shutter in your drenched sweater. You have no breath, no words in your constricted throat as your eyes stay wide, sheer terror coursing through your veins.
âDonât move,â Joel whispers as he slips his hand around your wrist, his calloused fingers burning through your skin as the heat of his touch makes you feel a little less like youâre on thin ice.
His movements are slow, steady, composed as he pushes his broad back into your chest, his large frame towering over you as he covers you from view. From the large, starving T-Rex that stands mere inches from your face.
You feel its breath, its slimy drool as it dips its massive head and sniffs for its prey. Which is you. You are the prey, and itâs your own damn fault for going outside when it was dark. You knew it wasnât safe. You knew. Joel warned you. Why didnât you just listen?
The dinosaur's leathery skin collides against yours, just barely skimming its scratchy body against the surface of your arm as it lifts its head and lets out the loudest roar youâve ever heard in your life.
Joel squeezes your hand and presses a little closer as he turns his head carefully and whispers against the shell of your ear. âStay calm. Itâll go away as long as you're silent. Focus for me, sweetheart. Breathe,â he whispers gently against your skin as you feel his plush lips graze against yours, his pine scent filling your senses as it automatically calms your panicked body.
âJoel,â you whisper out terrified, your mouth brushing against his jawline where his soft salt-and-pepper scruff sits, the area you so hungrily lapped against earlier as he had you pinned against the little wooden table in the vehicle, rutting deep inside you as he painted you shades of white between your sticky thighs.
âItâs okay. Iâve got you. Just stay put, sweetheart. Ainât gonna let anything happen to you,â he says adamantly as his deep, gravelly voice soothes every aching bone in your body.
Your foot catches on the side of a slippery rock and you freeze as you see the ravenous dinosaur turn toward you as its sharp claws dig into the sinking mud that turns into a dirty swimming pool. You hold your breath and close your eyes, trying your best not to make a single sound as Joel takes a step back, crowding your body as you feel his heat encase you as the rain continues to pound against your shaking body.
You can practically hear his soothing voice graze through your mind. Donât make any movements. Breathe. Youâre gonna be just fine.
You feel the rumbling of the jagged rocks underneath and tense your body as you wait for its teeth to rip into your flesh as it swallows you whole. You sink against the side of the RV just waiting for that awful moment when suddenly, you hear a distant roar in the distance. You feel the T-Rex turn toward the noise as it stomps off into the direction of the roar, saving you from what you thought was your watery grave. You hear the distant crashing of green vines and towering trees that fill the jungle. And then itâs quiet, only the sounds of pelting rain hitting the muddy ground.
You keep your eyes closed tight, your fingers flexed as you concentrate on not falling completely apart where you stand. You feel Joel try to pull you out of your misery, but his voice is far away. That deep rumble in a fog as you pretend this didnât happen, that you didnât nearly get yourself killed, along with Joel.
âHey, sweetheart, open your eyes,â he says softly against your ear as you try to fight him off, keeping your eyes closed until you know itâs safe.
Joel shakes you, stirs you from your anxious thoughts and calls your name adamantly as he cups your face and whispers words of affirmation. âYouâre alright. Câmon now. Open those pretty eyes for me.â
You bite your lower lip and slowly peel your eyes open and then gasp at the vision that stands before you. Joel stands there in the pouring rain, deft fingers clinging to your jawline as he cups your face affectionately, soft honey eyes staring straight into yours as rain pelts against his tanned skin. Water slips down his hair, his tousled curls slicked back by the rain as his green flannel sits soaked to his broad shoulders, his biceps flexing as he focuses solely on you.
âIâm sorry. I shouldnât have come out here so late. I knew better, and IâŠâ
He cuts you off as he pushes you up against the cool metal of the RV, one hand lingering on your jawline as his other snakes around your hip. His lips crash against yours as you taste sugar and coffee, the perfect mix that sets your taste buds on fire as you drink him down hungrily.
You part your lips and allow him to slot his tongue in. He laps at the inside of your mouth, your tongues colliding together as you breathe in the smell of autumn leaves and rain water that drips off his lips onto yours.
The kiss is hungry, romantic as you slide your hands through his dripping wet curls, twisting your fingers around him so you can be that much closer to him. He lifts you up and wraps your legs around his torso as you pant into his mouth, his calloused fingers digging into your skin as it burns for him.
Itâs like a dream, the pouring rain and muted sparks of lightning across the dark sky mixing together to make the heated kiss that much more romantic. You stay like that for minutes just getting lost in each other, lost in the flavor of him.
When youâre both completely out of breath, Joel sets you down on the ground and rests his forehead against yours as he chuckles lightly, his smile lighting up his honey eyes like Christmas lights that shine bright just for you.
âWhatâs so funny?â you ask as you push against his broad chest. âI nearly got us killed,â you groan as you sulk into the back of the RV.
Joel cups your chin and pulls your face up to his as he looks calmly at you with a soft smile playing on his lips. âNext time jusâ be a little more careful, sweetheart,â he murmurs as he dips down and places a gentle kiss on your cheek.
Before you can ask why he isnât mad, he bends down and picks something up against the rocks that sit at your feet. âBesides, I wouldnât have found this if it wasnât for you,â he grins as he holds up a broken, sharp black claw that clearly came from the T-Rex.
Your eyes go wide as you trace the edge of the claw. âIs thisâŠâ
âYeah, it sure is,â he beams as he slides his thumb over the sharp curve of the claw. âCame right from that Tyrannosaurus rex. Now I have physical proof. Exactly what I needed to collect to do some data research and some tests in the lab.â
His eyes light up like sparkling fireworks as he places the specimen in the pocket of his denim jeans. He hooks his arms around the back of your waist and brings you closer to his chest as he grazes his lips over the sheen of your rain covered lips.
You grip his damp flannel shirt and smile up at him as you brush your nose over his. âMy smart paleontologist finally gets his real life dinosaur experience, yeah?â you hum as he brushes his wet lips over yours.
âMhm, this smart scientist wants to go make love to his gorgeous assistant in the RV. Maybe take a warm shower first, make some hot coffee, maybe sit you on my lap so I can kiss you again and again and again.â He grabs a hold of your hair and presses his plush lips against yours once more as you fall into his arms, completely and utterly hooked on him. The man you fell head over heels for that first day in the lab.
When you pull your lips from his, he takes your hand and squeezes as he drags you back inside. âCâmon, sweetheart. Letâs get you back inside where itâs warm. Wanna go make love to my girl.â

Any AU or otherwise headcanons about Obito fren đ€đ„°
Obito, Obito, what do I do with you? Obito is an intruiging character, and the people who declare him an 'Incel loser' can respectfully suck my clit. I've never really written for Obito before, so please forgive me if this is a little OOC. big thanks to @danceofthexdragons for requesting.
Scientist!Obito Headcanons
The AU that has currently captured my mind is the scientist/researcher AU, and I already have a few ideas.
Obito Uchiha is a renowned physicist with a specialization in particle physics. His favorite particle is the neutrino, they intrigue him.
Once a bright young student, he believed in the principles of academia, the scientific method, everything. He wanted to explore the world and answer all its questions to humanity, his curiosity being his main drive.
As he entered high school, it was the first time he encountered someone as smart as him, if not even smarter. Rin Nohara. He, Rin and Kakashi all went into the same class and eventually took AP physics classes together, entered the same university and attended all the same lectures.
The dark side of academia caught up with him at the latest when he completed his doctorate. His then lab partner, Kakashi, had done everything in his power to publish the paper the three of them had worked on together. With the publication being Kakashi's main focus, far behind the mental health of his friends, he got credit for all the ideas, while Obito and Rin remained empty-handed.
Rin and Obito used to work in a lot of UV labs, and since he always sat next to her to shield her, it has led to one side of his face showing way more wrinkles than the others. One time when they worked on their next big invention, a teleportation device, one of the voltage regulators malfunctioned, getting them both caught up in an accident. While Rin almost instantly died, Obito got away with the right side of his body being scarred and shriveled up.
The shock and stress of the traumatic situation has made his hair turn white, making him a victim of Marie Antoinette Syndrome.
Even though he was deeply scarred, both literally and figuratively, he brushed it off as a single incident. But the longer he worked in academia, the plagiarism, the discrediting of female scientists and the publish-or-perish-dilemma of public research got to him, making him publish all his papers under an alias: Tobi.

For your 2k event đ (I'm so happy for you btw! đ„°đđ)
Fluff #9 - âif you cry, iâll cry â and that wonât be fun for anyone.â
With Tsu'tey x h!Reader maybe đ
Absolutely no pressure though and again; congratulations on reaching 2k! đđđ
SKY-WOMEN LOVE GIFTS
here you go lovely!! i hope you enojy. this was actually my first time writing human!reader so eek. but i liked it. tsu'tey being ooc but y'know him being alive isn't canon lmao
It took Tsuâtey a long time to warm up to the left over scientists of the sky people. Like a seriously long time.
While Jake did help get rid of some of the hostility towards the scientists, it was really you that did the heavy-lifting. A small, fragile weak human in his eyes. On a planet where not even the air serves you. Maybe it was pity that drew him closer towards you, or maybe it was your interesting alien self. Who knows?
Months passed as he got to know you. You would follow him through the forest to study more of the flora, involve yourself with the clanâs cultures and always be there to lend him a listening ear. Â
He couldnât deny that his heart grew fond of your company. The way your tiny alien hands would grab onto him when you lost your balance. The way he would have to wait for you to catch up to him every other step. The way you were so committed to loving his home. He found himself constantly thinking about you as a mate.
He wasnât quite sure how to show his affections towards you. He knew the usually the traditions would not be received as well, as you did not understand them. He didnât enjoy asking Jake for help, but it was worth it for you.
âWhat? You want to court Y/N? Didnât know you were into sky-people brother.â Tsuâtey snarled at him, too serious to be caught up with Jakeâs antics.
âI want to court Y/N, I am here for advice not ridicule.â Jake gave him a strong pat on the back followed with a proud smile.
âSky-women like gifts. All women like gifts! Make her something and Iâm 100% sure sheâll treasure it. Especially if itâs from you.â Tsuâtey wondered if something handmade would be up to your cultureâs standard, especially considering the odd demon technology your people have built. Would it not be mundane?
He may as well give it a shot. âThankyou brother.â And he was off, already conjuring ideas in his mind of what to create for you. What would be suitable for someone as tiny as you. He would have to be mindful of the size of his gift. Would you want jewellery? Maybe a knife? No. you donât need a knife. You would never wear his cultures clothing, too embarrassed because of your cultureâs standard.
Maybe a bracelet was the best thing to make. Yes. Itâs perfect.
It had been a couple days since you had conversed with Tsuâtey, too busy with your studies and he seemed to be going away to do god knows what. It disheartened you a little, you enjoyed your time with the tall man. Your heart always beat a little faster around him, eyes lingered longer, time felt shorter.
You were standing near some of the plants right outside of the base of the camp the people had set up. You were way too immersed in your instruments, that you didnât realise the lean man stalking behind you, simply looking down to observe what was interesting you so much.
âThat is flefle.â You jumped, grabbing onto your heart as you felt your soul slip you because you were so frightened.
âOh! Jesus you scared me.â Tsuâtey never really understood your human expressions, but he though you sounded cute saying them at least.
âI have something for you.â You furrowed your brows, confused on what he could possibly give to you. His hands were fidgeting behind his back, nervously rolling onto the balls of his feet and back down again.
âOh can I see?â Tsuâtey nodded taking one of your small hands in his, delicately placing the bracelet in your palm. You gasped switching your gaze rapidly between Tsuâtey and the beautiful, beaded bracelet that was give to you. The beads had small engravings in them, while they alternated in colours from blue to green. âThis is beautiful Tsuâtey!ïżœïżœ
âDo you like it?â You nodded swiftly.
âOf course I love it, I might cry itâs so pretty. Thankyou!â Tsuâteyâs face grew concerned as you mentioned crying.
âDo not cry. If you cry, I will cry and that wont be fun for anyone.â You giggled at his words, the way he was so serious was amusing. Stepping forward to give him a thankful hug, your head resting just below his ribs. He stiffened against your touch, hands hovering over you, scared to hug you too tight.
Letting go of him you held the open bracelet in your hands. âCould you tie it up for me?â Tsuâtey nodded his hands careful as his fingers worked swiftly to tie the knot around your wrist.
âIt is not too tight?â
âNo it is perfect. Thankyou.â

You startle, shooting up from the bench you decided to rest at, as a man stumbles out of the bushes.
âAre you real?!â He asks panicked, scrubbing his hands along the sides of his face, twigs and leaves scattered throughout his dark messy curls, eyes hidden behind alien eye-shaped sunglasses youâve seen at a local party store.
Great, a deranged stranger. He looks familiar but you canât quite place him, gripping the mace on your keychain tighter. Wary of his presence.
âI justââ he says, taking a deep breath and leaning over. Palms against his thighs as he exhales slowly, âIâm all mixed up out here. A friend of mine suggested doing shrooms and taking a walk, to get to know nature, all that bullshit. Horrible idea. Ever seen a frog up close and personal? Scary, unpredictable fuckers. Lead me astray hours ago.â
You couldnât help but feel sympathetic for the man, having had your share of similar shrooms trips.
âFeeling okay?â You ask, deciding to take the kind route, and sitting back down. The man is dressed in soft pj pants, a threadbare shirt, crocs, and a bathrobe. Interesting choice for a trip to the park but youâve seen worse.
âI think Iâm finally coming down,â The man shrugs, âMy nameâs Dieter by the way,â he adds, extending his hand for you to shake.
âNice to meet you, Dieter,â you say, grabbing his clammy hand, giving a small shake, and sharing your name.
âDo you mind if I sit?â Dieter asks, pointing at the spot next to you.
âGo right on ahead,â you nod towards the bench.
You begin making small talk, sharing bits and pieces about each otherâs lives. You learn heâs an actor, which is why he looked so familiar. Award-winning actor Dieter Bravo, the trainwreck that he is. The bathrobe should have been your tip, canât even begin to count the number of times youâd seen that featured on all the covers of gossip magazines.
âOkay, now letâs get to the hard-hitting questions,â Dieter says, clapping his hands together, the alien glasses sliding down his aquiline nose, âDo you believe in love at first sight?â
âNegative.â
âWhat about soulmates?â
âNot sure yet,â you laugh, shrugging, âNever found anyone worth my time.â
âThat so?â Dieter asks, eyebrows peaking above the frame of his unique sunglasses.
âWhat is with those ridiculous sunglasses?â you ask, unable to contain a laugh, âI cannot take you seriously. Youâre supposed to be some award-winning actor, yet youâre literally wearing pajamas and costume store sunglasses shaped like alien-eyes.â
âInspiration, my dear,â Dieter smirks, âInspiration.â
âInspiration?â
âOf course! Itâs for my next role, Iâm a scientist on the search for answers of another life form.â
âSo what?â You laugh, âYou take shrooms, slap on some alien glasses, take a stroll through the park, and think youâre going to find your character?â
âNext question,â Dieter says, ignoring you, âDo you believe in aliens?â
âOf course.â
âLast question,â Dieter giggles, âWanna have sex with me?â
You sit back, biting your cheek, looking at him. The patchy scruff on his face, his nose, his hair still scattered with leaves, and the earring dangling off his earlobe.
âTake the glasses off.â
He huffs but removes them, letting you get a good look at his face without anything obstructing your view. You look at those dark orbs, pupils still a little dilated, shaking your head.
âMaybe next timeâ you smirk, getting up and walking away.

Do you have any or would you be interested in something where Spencer fucks the reader but doesnât even take her clothes off all the way? Something about a hiked skirt and panties pushed to the side
Hey friend! I have quite a few fics with partially clothed sex. I've listed most of them here đ„°
Teacherâs Pet: Reader insists on being a problem for her favorite Professor.
My Bossâs Daughter: Spencerâs fling with his bossâs daughter is definitely going to get him fired.
Truce: Spencer doesnât like his new boss.
Be Still: When Spencer is given the all clear to âexerciseâ after he was shot, his girlfriend decides to go for a ride.
Jazz & Jealousy: On a visit from New Orleans, Ethan takes a liking to Spencerâs crush. He is not thrilled.
Opposing Counsel: Spencer runs into his childhood rival at trial for a case. Now that theyâre older, they found a new way to resolve their differences.
I Like It Like That: Spencer is jealous after a rowdy party.
Funhouse Mirror: SSA Reader promised Spencer heâd be surprised by her costume of the Doctor for the Halloween Party. To her credit, he definitely was.
The Objective & The Occult: Reader is a witch and Spencer is a scientist, can I make it any more obvious.
âBro Codeâ Be Damned: Spencer decides that the Bro Code isnât really a code to be taken seriously when Derekâs girlfriend is feeling neglected.
Devil in the Backseat: Reader is a little too much for Spencer (and heâs into it).
Schrödingerâs Relationship (Part 1, Part 2): Reader finds out Spencer has been dating a kind and cute woman (when heâs not spending the night at her house).
Lily of the Valley â€ïž (Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3): Unsub!Reid. Spencer was found guilty but mentally ill after the torture and murder of several men. He finds solace in his psychiatrist at the institution.
Dark Side (Part 1, Part 2): What can Reader say? Spencer in a prison jumpsuit is just too hard to resist.
As well as several chapters of my series:
[COMPLETE] Here to Misbehave: Spencer meets a girl he canât get enough of at the nightclub, then quickly realizes she is not supposed to be there. Series Masterlist
[CURRENT] The Birds & The Bees: Prof!Spencer, Virgin!Reader. Reader interviews for a position as Dr. Spencer Reidâs Teaching Assistant, and Spencer learns something special about her. Series Masterlist
I hope you enjoy!
Thanks for reading âșïž

TOMORROW IS DA ADILYNN BITCH'S B'DAY Y'ALL đŒâđ»đ€
(So imma do new challenge which even you guys can joinđ)
đȘ§Note : Never say the word "try" Instead say "imma do my experiments đ€âđ»"
if you can't believe something that it/they can actually manifest, my advice is THROW THAT THOUGHT AWAYđ„° COZ IT AIN'T TRUEđș
Be a cute scientist and affirm for things/people for fun and stuffs/people will move to your lap automatically. Why? Because you are fucking precious and you deserve to get your face filled with happiness and your bag filled with money.
Challenge : it ain't no modern technique chill.
đCan be used for shifting or whatever tf you wanna do.
So what's it?
ExaggerationđŁïž
Exaggerate your affirmations as much as you can to make your "logical" Mind to shut the fuck up and replicate exactly what you wanted immediately. You can use umbrella affirmations by saying,
"I am so fast in manifesting that my 3d can never ever dare to show some shit that doesn't resonate with me"
âOr even specific affirmations for your sp/dp/df/db
"I have the clearest/perfect face/body in this whole universe which cannot be compared"
"My sp is so obsessed with me that they feel so attached to me unstoppably"
"I got into my desires college/university/school exactly like how I wanted!! They literally pay me to study there!! "
"I have the coolest people around me who give and do every little thing I ever wanted!! "
I suggest you to use umbrella affirmations for you to deny the fact that you are not able to get certain person/thing. There's nothing called you can't get. Everything is yours. People around you are totally controlled by YOU.
No one can stop you or your instant manifesting ass.
You can also use specific affirmations of course! đ
The main goal is - never think/expect bad or undesired events or people activities.
EXPECT ETHEREALLY FORTUNATE EVENTS OR PEOPLE ACTIVITIES. ACTUALLY DON'T EXPECT. BECAUSE YOU ALREADY HAVE IT/THEM.
Go slay. Never ever even think of having a small doubt in anything. YOU ARE THE TOP BITCH AS ALWAYS!!!
I will update you guys with results soon! đ
With lots of love,
ADILYNN YURIđ€đ·
#adilynn loves youđ·â#its my birthday!!!#self concept#manifestation#affirm#challenge#specific person#sp#neville goddard#affirmyourreality#loa#subliminals#affirm and persist#wavering#shifting#shifting consciousness#reality shift#reality shifting#shiftblr#loa assumption#loa affirmation#loa tips#loa tumblr#loa success#law of assumption blog#law of assumption

HI WELCOME TO TUMBLR!! can i get some hcs for malewife spot pre/post collider does NOT matter to me he's so babygirl i need him as my wifeđđđđ even if he's my failwife that's okay ill love him anyways đ„°đ„°đ„°
ty!!<3 this is so real LOL, alright let's go đŒÂ
Malewife Spot Hcs Pre & Post-Collider:
600+ words.
CW: light NSFW content (overstimulation, masturbation, teasing)
PRE-COLLIDER:
Despite being a scientist, I do not think that Jonathan can cook. Although, (being a father before⊠yâknow) I think that he learned to bake some small things like cupcakes and cookies for his son... Now he bakes for you!Â
He enjoys decorating the cupcakes the most â icing them with pink frosting and over-the-top rainbow sprinkles.
He would be the breadmaker, absolutely. He didnât make a ton, but he never wanted you to work for too long and encouraged you to take days off when you only felt a little ill.
When you were sick, he would come into your room with your favorite drink and blankets just out of the dryer, and turn on your favorite show/movie.
He's usually nervous around you most of the time because of how happy you make him, but he's awkward and doesn't know how to express it in words. This results in a lot of gift-giving and caring for you, constantly making sure that you're happy and comfortable.
He feels so lucky to have you. Likely struggles with overthinking and needs reassurance that you love him. (Because you both already know that heâs head over heels for you.)
[NSFW] Would talk you through it, and constantly ask if you were enjoying it. It would turn him on to know he was doing you good.Â
POST-COLLIDER:
Now that Spot wasnât able to get a job, he spent most days⊠how do I say⊠being a criminal.
You were always in the back of his mind, even when making decisions that had nothing to do with you. You are like the rational part of his brain. In his mind, he would say âWhat would Y/N do?â and probably do the thing he wanted to anyway.
When you were in a shop and you saw something you liked, he would know. He could sense it. He would steal the item and wait for an excuse or event to gift it to you, in an attempt to hide the fact that he had stolen it. But you always knew, and would say in response: âSpot, youâve gotta stop-â when he would cut you off and say âBut I love you!â and you would sigh in defeat.
While you were out working, he was sleeping in your (technically shared) bed, doing your laundry, cleaning your desk, doing your dishes. He would do anything in service of you if it reminded him of your presence.
Extremely clingy when you do get home after work. Because as much as he doesnât want to admit it, he was thinking about you the whole time you were gone.Â
[NSFW] Something about that damn collider made him more submissive in bed. I donât know if he accidentally slipped into a horny dimension or sum shit, but he's down BAD for you.
[NSFW] He would absolutely wear your clothes and be obsessed with your scent. This would send him down paths in his mind he didnât think he had, thinking about all the stuff he wanted you to do to him.
[NSFW] He would masturbate thinking about you when you werenât home and think about you rewarding him for doing all of your chores. He secretly hoped for this and had this in mind when he was helping you out without asking.
[NSFW] He gets flustered really easily, and becomes really needy, grinding and begging included. Teasing his holes while âmaking outâ is his easiest weak spot, and he gets riled up very quickly.
[NSFW] Despite being taller than you (he's like 7ft in my mind) heâs squirming under your touch. Overstimulation drives him crazy, shaking and begging for you to stop, but he enjoys you being in control.

Im back again to show love to my wife đ„°đ„°đ„° even though she has another manâs name attached to hers âŠ
Asking RishiâŠ. No, DEMANDING Rishima to make-out with m!reader whoâs really selfish (not to mention an ass) and has an oral fixation and just starts kissing and biting at her neck and LEGIT ANYWHERE HE COULD LATCH HIS MOUTH ONTO (his little fangies can draw little bit of blood if youâd like!) then it turning into smthg else đ

âč ÛȘ àŁȘ ᄫᥠverse 781 rishima / university student male reader
ËËËê° đź ê±scientist x male!reader, âč ÛȘ
âyouâre so fucking impatient.â
âwell pardon my depravity, professor singhania.â
she lets out a low groan at your mock of her title. fingers coiling into your hair as she tilts her head back. fluttering her magenta eyes at the way your lips pepper along her skin and your fangs graze her neck strewn in bite marks.
if someone stepped through the doorways of her classroom and saw this. saw her squirming on her studentâs lap while he steered his hips up into her. dark panties hanging around her ankle and shirt rolled up over her tits - surely sheâd cause a scandal.
the mere idea of the risk shoots a shiver through her and her walls flutter around your cock once more. tightening when you have the nerve to mock her again.
âso fucking tight. whatâs your age again?â
âshut up or Iâll fail you for your next exam.â
she hisses against your ear. her own teeth clamping down on your ear as she rolls her hips down roughly. rumbling a groan from the base of your throat.
in retaliation your nails dig crescents into the pale skin of her hips and force her down further. bucking your hips up roughly and accentuating the wetness of her quivering cunt. the number of times your professor as creamed herself all over your lap.
rishima mewls. her head limping into your shoulder and giving you access to kiss around the side of her neck once more. sinking your fangs into her skin and listening to the way she gasps.
âsure you will - you really gonna fail me huh? really gonna fail this dick?â
a sharp smack fills the room as your hand claps against her ass. gripping it tightly and forcing her thighs open so that she takes your rough thrusts. the way you make her bounce on your cock like a ragdoll.
âf-fuck - ah - nghh doll -â
âyeah thatâs what I thought.â
your harsh pants coupled with her mewls and moans leave a tightness in your abdomen. you seek to bite down on her shoulder again in an attempt to control yourself. wishing to make her cum again before you even dreamed of it.
âc-come on professor. just one more. you can do that for me yeah? just one more.â you encourage. shivering at the way she pants and kisses the crook of your neck. probably drooling all over your collar.
you force her hips down so that you bottom out. grunting at way she squeezes you - as though trying to milk you first. but you grip at her supple flesh and ram your thrusts shallowly. aiming for that one spot that you know makes her eyes roll back.
you wish you could see it.
it doesnât take too long for rishima to clench around you. stimming one of your underside veins before sheâs cumming once more. grasping and whining into you as she attempts to needily stutter her hips.
âdesperate whore,â you pant. fingers coiling around her dark hair to yank her face closer to yours. press your lips to hers and stick your tongue down her mouth.
all so that she can swallow your moans just like her greedy cunt takes your loads of cum that fill her up for the umpteenth times.
and she kisses you so needily. so messily. whining and whimpering into your lips as you both hump and grind into one another haphazardly.
something told you she wouldnât fail you after all.

I'm not really into petplay [yet?] but I love observing it, ya'll are such cute puppies <3 You guys deserve all the chin scratches and chew toys you can get đ„°
Plus it's really fueling my experimentation/scientist kink of studying your guys's behaviour. Recording which pups are naturally more dominant in the pack and who willingly submits to avoid fights. Throwing in toys, blankets, and/or pillows into the enclosure to see how it affects the overall happiness levels. Of course, it should go without saying that everyone would get a custom-made collar that tracks heart rate, hormone levels, vocal activity, ect. with a matching leash for walks.
This way I can know what I need to add to the individual training sessions! After all, a good dog needs to learn how to obey, isn't that right Creature?
HELLO???? HNNGGH??? You can't just drop this in my askbox and not expect me to absolutely lose it, this is the hottest thing I've read in a *while*. It combines petplay, training, and experimentation my *beloved*. (You are literally free to experiment on me anytime oh my GODS)
Picturing you just watching us, my custom collar tight around my neck as I'm bit and fucked and mounted by all the other puppies, knowing that you can see every bit of pleasure I'm getting, every whine, every physiological response on your monitor. Knowing that you don't even have to see my blush as you hand me a pillow to bite as I'm mounted and knotted *again*, seeing the overall happiness level rise as this addition makes me present my holes further.
Seeing the way I'm needy even in my sleep, curled up in a nest of blankets and pillows, whining quietly until another puppy tiredly fills me, watching my heartrate slow as I cockwarm them and fall back asleep.
I wonder what you'd put in my training program? I already like to think I'm a pretty obedient little mutt, but I always want to be trained to be better, and I'd love for your careful observations to make me into the good puppy I want so badly to be!
Thank you *so* much for this ask, I'm actively walking to go hump my pillow because of how needy this made me so...have a nice day!!
-your Creature
#Creature responds#softmumblings#HELLO???????? THIS IS ONE OF THE HOTTEST THINGS IVE EVER HAD IN MY ASKBOX IVE BEEN THINKING ABT THIS SINCE IT POPPED UP THIS MORNING#HNNNNNNGH#im having a moment about this its so hot#puppy playtime saga continues
