Hi there! I'm currently watching the original X men series to catch up to 97, and I'm in love with Gambit.

Would it be possible to ask for Remy and reader to be on a secret mission, and the Ole "make out so they don't suspect us" trope comes in, and gambit kinda (obviously) has feelings...?

It could be sfw or nsfw, either is perfect! Thank you for all that you do, I've been trying to find fics for the xmen for a while 🙏🙏

Kinda spicy! Gambit/GN!reader

YESS!! YESSSS!!! I legit had a dream about this situation with remy the day before you sent me this ask and I was cackling in joy when I saw this! I basically hyperfixated on it because I love this trope.

TWS: sexual themes n shit, no explicit smut. As always, reader written while picturing fem! but no specific pronouns mentioned. Semi-public making out and touching. Nipples be touched but size and type of breast not mentioned.

-Ps- reader can see heat signatures for plot purposes. I usually try to keep powers ambiguous but it was a NEED!

"In here, quick!" Remy's thick draw catches your attention, just before he yanks you into an alley. The two of you were in New Orleans, looking for a specific mutant Xavier wanted to talk to. The only downside was that Remy still had a warrant out for his arrest, and wanted posters plastered all over the city from bourbon Street to the garden district.

"Don't worry Cher. You said. NOPD 'dumber than a sack of rocks, you said!" You gripe at him. Remy laughs, tugging you around the corner. The alleyways on Burbon street are mostly private areas, owned and sealed off by the bars that line the storefronts- but Remy knew this city like the back of his hand. However, things had changed since he was here last. That became apperent when the two of you reach the end of the alleyway and there's a brand new brick wall, a dead end.

Remy curses and skids to a stop, causing you to slam into his back. You send him a dirty look as you whip around, eyes adjusting to the brick surroundings. It's hard to make out the figures of the cops through the walls of the busy bar in in front of you, too many people crowding the street for drinks even this late at night. You strain your eyes a bit, but are able to make out the stiff-shouldered men, heat signature slightly elevated from booking it after the two of you. Unfortunately, they're headed towards the mouth of the alleyway.

"Damnit." You mutter, turning back to Remy. He understands what you mean just by looking at your face. He hums, thinking for a moment before he begins to take out a playing card. You grab his arm to stop him, trying to ignore how warm his skin is against your own.

"Don't. The explosion will just lead them to us." You say. Remy nodds, glancing at the corner before suddenly caging you against the wall of the alleyway. You try not to blush as he does so. Remy smirks at you, and you think your heart might just explode. You remind yourself that this is standard Remy behavior, but it doesn't stop your face from heating up. You can only hope it's too dark for him to see you properly.

"Well, there is another way we could fool those pigs." Remy says, quieter than before. You cock an eyebrow at him before looking back over in the direction of the alleyways opening, able to spot the cops as they begin to enter. In your peripheral, you see Remy running his fingers through his hair to flatten it. You open your mouth to ask him what he has in mind, but the sound of footsteps cut you off.

"-Well, if you're going to do something, you better do it quick!" You whisper back at him. Remy pushes you further against the cold brick, his hands drifting down to your waist as he leans over to wisper in your ear.

"Trust me, Cher. I'll take care of you." His words cause goosebumps to rise at the back of your neck, and you hardly have time to react before he's kissing you. Your eyes are blown wide, heart thumping wildly as you start to slowly relax into the kiss.

Unsurprisingly, Remy is a really, really good kisser. It's hard to focus while he's touching you like this, kissing you deeply like he loves you. He nips at your lip, and you gasp, having forgotten about everything else already. His tongue darts into you mouth, caressing the skin he finds there. You let out a small moan as one of his hands drifts lower, caressing your thigh and hiking your leg up just a bit. Your own hands slowly slide up his chest, drifting to his neck.

The heat in your chest is unbearable when Gambit separates from the kiss, a string of spit connecting your mouths before he wipes it away, nothing but affection on his eyes. You're panting for breath while he kisses the corner of your mouth, then your cheek, and then lower. Remy places wet kisses on your neck, sucking and biting as he tries to swallow you whole. You thread your hands through his soft hair as his does so, fully encouraging him to ravage you in whatever way he would like. One of his hands begins to slide under your shirt when a cough startles you out of your heated state.

Your first instinct is to turn towards the noise, but Gambit is quick to cup your cheek and pull you into another heated kiss before your head could move a centimeter. He keeps you occupied as his other hand fully caresses the skin beneath your shirt, squeezing and caressing your chest. You hear another exhausted sigh from the cops. You crack and eye open slightly, knowing they cant see you do so in the dark. One of them begins to raise his voice, but the other smacks him on the shoulder.

"Just another pair of drunks. We've got bigger things to worry about right now." The cop says. You could practically hear the other roll his eyes before they turn to and walk away. Gambit brings your attention back to him and only him when you feel a finger brush lightly against your nipple. You gasp, and Remy chuckles, playfully biting your lip as he pulls away. He's smirking as he looks at you, and you can only imagine what you look like right now.

"Looks like you enjoyed that." He teases, voice low and husky. You can't seem to pull your thought together properly when he's looking at you like that. You nervously look away, hands playing with his collar.

"And if I did?" You ask, glancing back at him to gage his reaction. He looks surprised at first, face morphing into a lovestruck smile before he tries to cover it up with a smirk. Didn't stop you from being able to see the heat rise to his cheeks, however.

"Then gambit thinks we should do this more often."

I think what we’re seeing here is an attempt to prepare the public for Trump’s war on immigrants. Definitely the lying about the attacks and perhaps the attacks themselves. Straight out of the Hitler play book which Trump and Stephen Miller, and some others) admire greatly.

[socialjusticeinamerica]

Amazon has to be shamed into doing the right thing and they only relented this time because of the high profile of the attack.

My fucking worry about future terror attackers and the inevitable rise of Jew hate and Muslim hate including police scrutiny of Muslim and Arab Americans that’s going to follow this fucked up terrorism is really being undermined by the government and media’s fucking obsession with reminding everyone that tomorrow’s football game or cotton bowl and the superbowl aren’t CANCELED.

Shut the fuck up ABOUT FOOTBALL. MANY PEOPLE ARE DEAD AND INJURED. NO ONES PRIORITY SHOULD BE ON WHETHER FOOTBALL IS BEING PLAYED TOMORROW YOU GHOULS.

No one is talking about the terrorist attack on Bourbon Street that happened this morning. I wonder why.

Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove a vehicle into a crowd on New Year's and opened fire.

10 people were murdered.

Dozens of others are injured and hospitalized. There are IEDs littered around the French Quarter.

This is on-going. Talk about it.

How to Help after Bourbon St.

I'm just now processing Bourbon Street attack after working through the aftermath of it yesterday.

If you want to show your support, here are the best ways to do it:

If you want to support the victims, the city of New Orleans and the Greater New Orleans foundation has set up a tragedy fund:

Some of the victims' families have set up GoFundMes and the like to cover expenses.

I recommend donating to the ones linked to on local news outlets like these, as these are most often legitimate.

GoFundMe also has a section for verified fundraisers.

If you live in Louisiana and are eligible to do so, donate blood!

Hospitals in NOLA are in dire need of it as several victims remain in the hospital.

The Blood Center is hosting emergency drives across the state today.

https://thebloodcenter.org/bourbonstterror

More ways to help can be found on local news outlets like these in the NOLA/BR area.

It's easy to forget that while New Orleans is a tourist hotspot, it's still a city with its own citizens who are experiencing genuine pain and trauma from this.

Hell, all of Louisiana is in mourning from this.

Please don't lose sight of the real people and communities affected. ❤️

ISIS flag. Someday Republicans will stop campaigning on hatred for the Muslim world. Republican rhetoric has consequences.

Trump is blaming it on criminals that he claims Biden let into the country but the driver was born in the US and had served in the army with a deployment to Afghanistan. His brother claims he was likely radicalized here in the US and possibly was a lone wolf not acting under orders.
