Mathilda May in Lifeforce (Tobe Hooper, 1985)

Cast: Steve Railsback, Peter Firth, Frank Finlay, Mathilda May, Patrick Stewart, Michael Gothard, Nicholas Ball, Aubrey Morris, Nancy Paul, John Hallam. Screenplay: Dan O'Bannon, Don Jakoby, based on a novel by Colin Wilson. Cinematography: Alan Hume. Production design: John Graysmark. Film editing: John Grover. Music: Henry Mancini. 

Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce is a delirious mashup of space travel sci-fi, vampire thrillers, zombie movies, sexploitation flicks, and apocalyptic disaster films. A British-American crew exploring Halley's comet, making its appearance near Earth, finds an alien vessel caught up in the comet's wake. All of its batlike crew seem to be dead, but there are three containers on board with naked humanoid beings, one female and two males, in some kind of stasis. Back on Earth, when mission control loses contact with the space ship, a rescue ship is sent. It discovers that everyone on board, except the three humanoids, is dead. The aliens, brought to Earth, awake and begin to create a mess: They apparently have the ability to shape-shift and to suck the life force from humans. Meanwhile, a member (Steve Railsback) of the crew from the original ship who managed to board an escape capsule arrives on Earth to explain what's going on and to help save the planet from the aliens. It's a standard horror-from-outer-space setup, but the script keeps embroidering on it until the creepiness turns ludicrous: Patrick Stewart, for example, plays the administrator of an insane asylum that belongs in a Universal horror movie from the 1930s. The heroes, played by Railsback and Peter Firth, have to dash across an embattled London to St. Paul's Cathedral to kill the female alien (Mathilda May), who is lying on the altar transmitting a glowing stream of human souls to her ship. Somehow, the only weapon that will kill her is an antique sword. Lifeforce, in short, is the stuff of which video games are made. Other than noise and carnage by the bucketsful, it has little to recommend it beyond some wildly entertaining overacting and a preposterousness that can only be called chutzpah.

I’m a ridiculous person.

[cosmiccucumber]

I'm not done with bright just yet

[anti-christ-ian]

Bright was a good ass film. My only critique is the main villain needed more development and focus. Needs a more expensive sequel. Or even a trilogy. I can see it tbh.

[morphituu]

Mhm. Yes.

My next great fan-fiction adventure will be for Bright. Because who the fuck couldn’t help but love how awkward and adorable Jakoby was??? No one. Exactly.

Feel free to question my taste in movies, but I really liked Bright. This golden retriever in orc body right here is my new son and I love him okay.

Knock knock / Nick Jakoby x reader

Chapter 7

The three of you walked into the garage and they waited for you to open the door. To Nick, the whole atmosphere inside felt... off.

“We’re not alone,” he said.

“Elves. Inferni. Three of them, I think,” said Kandomere. Elves were not gifted with orc’s sensitive ears and noses, but most of them had some level of telepathy.

“How did they get in? The protection charm is still up.”

Voices behind them startled the trio. “The old fashioned way.” Someone turned on the lights and you saw three figures: two elves in long robes - male and a female - and Officer Ward. The female elf, standing to the back, held a magic wand. The elf in the center, the one who had spoken, held an intricately patterned ceremonial knife to the officer’s throat.

“Partner!” Cried Jakoby, his voice catching in his throat. You looked at Nick’s stricken face and it was too much to bear.

“Glad you could join us. Which one of the three of you is the Bright who’s been opening portals?” Said the elf, looking at Kandomere.

“You’ve got a knife to his throat, you dumb piece of shit,” you said. “Let him go and take me instead. He can’t do any magic like that.” You walked over to the group and unwrapped your wand from a well-worn bandana, pressing it into Ward’s hand, along with the paper you’d scribbled on in Nick’s car. Ward holding a wand seemed to be all the proof he needed. Ward looked at you like you were crazy.

“As you like,” the lead elf said, shoving Ward to the ground. The elf with the wand trained it on you. Nick ran to help Ward up, but he didn’t look any less worried. You winked at him: nothing would happen to you as long as the protection charm was still up. The head elf spun around and looked at you, then smirked.

“Sinaa, kill that silly protection charm,” said the head elf again.”

“Yes, Karros.”’She flourished her wand and did so, and this time, instead of gentle glitter, bursts of sparks seemed to burn on their way down. You remembered that elves were telepathic, dammit, but you had enough experience to block them out. You had been careless.

“Let’s get this over with.” Said Karros.

***

Opening, closing, and re-opening the portal over and over had attracted magical attention, and now the Inferni knew about it. Did they know Kandomere was using it to track them? More importantly, who else knew about it and was coming, now that the protection charm was off?

All six took the freight elevator to the bottom and walked into a small work room. On the ceiling, near the corner furthest from the door, there was a hole in the plaster that pulsed with light. Radiating out in all directions were cracks in the wall, most of which pulsed with smaller streaks of the same light. The female elf - Sinaa - held you at wand point in one corner of the room while Karros walked underneath the pulsing-light-crack.

“Open The portal to whatever dimension you entered a week ago. Now.”

“Hey Carlos. You ever hear you catch more flies with honey? Slow your roll.” Ward tried to buy time, waving the wand like he was a practiced magic user. It was obvious he wasn’t. This might be a huge disaster. Sinaa held the wand closer to you and it glowed hot.

“Do it now or she dies.”

Nick saw you exchange a look with Kandomere. The blue-haired elf spoke next, addressing Karros.

“Ward, how do you always forget this spell? It’s ...” Kandomere rattled off a few Ovusi spell words, which Ward repeated, holding the wand towards the portal. The first time, nothing happened. The second time, a carrot fell from thin air and landed at Nick’s feet. Sinaa brought the want within an inch of your neck and prepared to strike.

“The last syllable- make it LOUD!” Kandomere instructed. Ward tried again, and the portal opened, transforming most of one wall into a sort of gateway and blowing the six of them against the opposite walls.

“I hope you are ready to die,” Sinaa told you giddily, eyes glued to a mass of swirling lights in the center of the portal. Those weren’t there the last time. In horror you realized that each point of light was a creature who had tracked the magic they’d used. Each of those dots grew as it swirled because they were heading directly for the portal.

Sinaa was transfixed, staring.

Everything that happened in the next few moments seemed to happen at once.

You took advantage of Sinaa’s surprise- and her assumption that you were afraid of her wand- and grabbed it from her, spinning around.

“You first, bitch.” You said, pushing her into the void as you did. Without the magic of the wand, floating there would be fatal within minutes. She grabbed at Karros for help as she was sucked into the portal, catching his robe, and he was drawn in as well. Before falling in, he grabbed your wrist, on the same hand that was holding the wand.

Nick grabbed your other arm, holding you tight. Kandomere tried to kick away the larger elf, but the more he moved, the more he was gradually pulled toward the portal himself.

Behind you, the Inferni elves were fighting to stay in this realm while dozens- hundreds- of lights got larger and larger, approaching the portal. There wasn’t time to separate yourself before the dots - dragons, wraiths, who knows what all - crossed over into this realm.

You looked into Nick’s eyes and saw fierce determination. He would fight for you until the very end, no matter what it cost him. You thought of all the people in your life who had cared about you. It always seemed to turn out badly for them. He deserved so much better in his life.

“Nick, look at me.” He did, while trying to get a firmer grip on your arm, and you used all the strength you could muster to lean close enough to kiss him.

“I love you, too. And...” You paused, trying to twist the wand arm, held by Karros.

Nick thought you were still trying to free yourself until you spoke again.

“I’m sorry,” you finished. With that, you said a few spell words, and your wand - now pointed down to the floor - radiated a concussive pulse that knocked everyone backwards. Nick, Ward, and Kandomere hit concrete walls and you flew backwards into the portal, taking the Inferni with you.

As you flew backwards you pointed the wand once more, shouting in Ovusi and the portal slammed closed from the other side.

Nick tried to run after you, but be the time he crossed the room, he was touching cold concrete. The cracks in the wall were still there, but there were no glowing streaks. He punched the wall so hard that new cracks formed, but the portal was gone.

You were gone.

The three men were silent.

To save them, to save the planet and stop the Inferni, you had leapt into that dimension without pause.

Nick crumpled to the floor. Ward ran to him and placed his arm over his partner, wordlessly. There was nothing to say.

From the corner Kandomere spoke up: “I... I’m sorry. This... all of it, this was my fault.” His face was pale and Ward thought he might be in shock. Nick wasn’t really in the mood to accept his apologies. He ran to the other side of the room and grabbed the elf by the collar, lifting him off the ground.

“You’re sorry? Sorry?! What the fuck good does that do?!”

“Go ahead and hit me, Orc. I deserve it.” Nick’s anger melted into a look of deep sadness and he dropped the elf back on his feet.

“There’s no point.”

“Wait a minute-“ Ward started.

“I was an ass to you earlier. I’m sorry... It was just jealousy.” Kandomere admitted. “She truly... cared for you.” Nick was numb, but hearing Kandomere use the past tense made him sick to his stomach.

“She... cared...” he repeated, as if in a trance.

“I said WAIT A DAMN MINUTE.” Ward interrupted. “Listen...”

“Ward? What are you-“ Nick asked.

“Shut the fuck up and listen. Do you hear that?!”

At first, they didn’t. Then... very quietly... they could make out a sound. It was a double click. Every time it repeated, it seemed to grow louder.

Click click

Click click

CLICK CLICK

“It’s in the wall...” Kandomere said, running his fingers over the walls to pinpoint the location. The sounds seemed to be coming from all over: ceiling, floor, walls, door. Nick stared at the wall above him and rapped twice, quietly - knock knock - on the spot where one of the cracks on the ceiling showed the faintest glimmer of light. The clicks responded, insistently, now louder and confined to that exact spot.

Knock knock

KNOCK KNOCK

KNOCK KNOCK

knockKNOCKknock knock KNOCKKNOCKKNOCK

The crack seemed to be trying to open itself. Something fell on the ground: it was the key brooch Nick had given you.

“It’s her!” Said Nick. “Ward- aim your wand above my head!”

Ward did so and the ceiling opened. You tumbled out and into Nick’s arms, limply, knocking him down in the process. All three stared at you, unsure for a moment if you were alive at all. Finally, you spoke.

“Knock... knock,” you managed, despite looking like you’d been hit by a bus.

“What? Who’s there?”

“Yeah...”

“Yeah... who?”

“Yahoo, we lived.” You struggled to sit up. “Now Ward help me seal up this piece of crap dimension forever.”

You reached out for Ward’s hand. When you took it, both wands glowed brighter, and the combined effort made the task of sealing the portal easy. Kandomere had told you once that wands working in tandem increased their power exponentially.

This time, when the portal was sealed, even the cracks had disappeared. The room looked brand new and freshly painted.

“Okay,” said Ward, “since when are you two a thing?” You and Nick looked at each other and laughed. You noticed tears on Nick’s face and reached up to kiss him. “Is there anything else I should maybe know about?”

“Yes,” Said Kandomere, rising to his feet and brushing off dust and debris. He held the carrot out to Ward. “Your Ovusi is terrible. You nearly called forth a plague of carrots to rain down on us.”

“Hey be nice,” You chided, “It was his first spell. Plus he kind of saved our lives.”

“And YOU’RE WELCOME, by the way.” Ward snipped.

“What do you say we get out of here?” You asked. Nick stood up, still carrying you. It was the best idea - well, maybe the second best idea - Nick had heard all day.

The four of you boarded the freight elevator and Ward shut the inside gate. You took a last look at the work room that used to be a portal and it looked and felt strangely blank. It was reassuring.

“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again,” said Ward. “Fuck magic.”

“I don’t know, I still think it’s kind of cool.” You said, still in Nick’s arms. Nick smiled broadly and exchanged a look with Ward, who just shook his head.

“Oh great - now there’s two of you.”

[gi-maeve-rose]

Here’s part 2 for @rfitzhugh74 ♥️ sorry it took so long!

Warnings: None

Part 1

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One o'clock finally rolled around, sooner than expected. Nick had just come back from patrolling with Ward, more excited and nervous than he's ever been about anything.

"Call me when you get done. I'm gonna take Sofia out for lunch." Daryl said when he dropped off Nick by the entrance.

Nick nodded, then looked out the window. He could see you sitting at your desk, shuffling through paperwork, documenting on your computer. Even doing the most minuscule tasks, you looked ever glorious. Seriously, how could someone like you be attracted to someone like him?

Daryl could feel the doubt radiating off Nick and groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Man, don't do that. She already said yes. She's waiting for you. Get out this damn car."

Nick shook himself back to the present. "Yeah, yeah. I'm going." He gathered his courage and exited the car. Each step he took closer to your work station shook him to the core, like an earthquake. He was nearly taken down completely when you lifted your gaze from your folders, sparkling (y/e/c) eyes meeting his, your cherry smile spread across your face.

"Nick," you announce, your voice cheery. You half expected he'd forget or just plain wouldn't show.

"Hey, (Y/N)," he greeted back, his voice just as cheery, but also holding a tinge of nervousness. "Ready to go?"

You quickly shut your paperwork away and rose from your chair, swiftly walking around the desk. "As I'll ever be." You linked your arm into his, your face warming to a light shade of pink.

Nick's stomach practically jumped out of his throat at your eagerness, rendering him speechless. Instead he just smiled back at you and led you out the entrance.

••••••••

Nick took you to a cozy little corner diner not far from the station. One of his favorites. He'd always imagined taking a girl on a date here when he was a teen, but, of course, with his status... Well, he was just happy he could finally fulfill that dream. And with a woman as gorgeous as you, no less.

“So,” you started, shaking Nick from his daydream, “Nicholas Jakoby. L.A.’s first orc police officer.” You smiled as you recited his title, in turn making Nick’s stomach do backflips. “What made you choose this?”

Nick shifted in his seat. Oh boy, what a pathetic story that was. Or so he thought. An unblooded orc just wanting to do some good and prove to the world that not all orcs are bad. “Well, uh, it’s been a dream of mine since I was a kid. I always thought cops were pretty cool.”

Your smile widened. “Were you ever a cop for Halloween as a kid?” When nick smiled nervously and shrugged, you couldn’t help but giggle. “Oh my god, you’re too cute! Please tell me you have pictures!”

“Ahh, they’re somewhere at home.” Nick shifted in his seat once more. Your compliments and interest in him bubbled excitement deep within him. He could hardly sit still.

“Maybe you could show me next time?” you suggested.

Nick’s ears twitched. “‘Next time’?”

“Yeah. We could do dinner at yours or mine, have some drinks, talk more.” Your stomach dropped a bit. Maybe you were getting ahead of yourself. “If you want to, of course. We don’t have to if you don’t—“

“I’d love to!” Nick said quickly. He was just about ready to explode from joy. Your first date with him had just started, and already you’re both making plans for a second.

You smiled and opened your mouth, getting ready to speak when a waitress approached your table. “Good afternoon! My name is Dina, I’ll be your server. Can I start y’all with some drinks?”

So you and Nick made your orders and enjoyed your lunch break together. You laughed at each other’s jokes, indulged in each other’s stories. It was far too early to tell for sure, but Nick had a good feeling that you’d become someone very important to him. Finally, after years of torment and hate, someone saw him not as some pig faced dirt who’s ancestors chose the side of evil, but as Nick Jakoby, LAPD and a person capable of kindness and doing what’s right.

Love Story

Nick Jakoby x reader

This is my first ever fic and the first thing I’ve written in months so it’s horrible but like my username says no good fics here sorry to disappoint.

My own prompt: nick wants to surprise you with breakfast in bed but music and silly dancing ensues instead.

This is kinda a lyric fic and is a gender neutral reader thing I think.

Groaning you slowly open your eyes wincing as the light from the window decided it was time to blind you, rolling over and stretching your hand out to the other side of the bed for your boyfriend but all you feel are cold sheets as the orc who usually occupies them is missing which isn’t usually an issue, since he gets up early for work but this is the only day that you and him actually have off together and you wanted to just laze in bed and sleep the day away together.

*crash*

“Shit!”

Snapping out of your grumbling thoughts you turn your head towards the way the sound came from, which you presume is the kitchen as it sounded like something metallic had hit the floor before the swearing and the sounds of your Alexa loudly playing the song “hit me baby one more time” by Britney Spears. Chuckling quietly to yourself you wondered what that dork you were dating was up to so you threw the covers off and got your ass out of bed to go and investigate.

As you rounded the corner to the kitchen you slowed down and stopped just before you got to the doorway, peering round the frame you were greeted by the glorious sight of officer Nicholas Jakoby clad in his black boxers and wearing your pink apron which had ‘kiss the cook’ blazened across the front in white bent over the kitchen counter frantically pleading with Alexa to turn the volume down. You smacked your hand over your mouth to attempt at keeping your laughter from being heard so you wouldn’t be noticed by the officer.

Eventually after a minute or so Alexa complied to his commands and turned the volume down a couple of notches. Which you noticed seemed to calm Nick down quite a bit as he straightened up and rounded the kitchen island to pick up the pan that he had dropped out of shock over the loud singing of good ol Britney, which you’re glad he did because of the great view you got of his bootilicious buns as he bent down to pick it back up so he could continue whatever he had been doing before all the shenanigans that had erupted previously. After you had finished ogling him from around the corner of the door you noticed the song ‘Love Story” by Taylor swift has started playing, smirking from your hiding place you think of something to surprise the orc that is currently faceing away from you.

We were both young when I first saw you,

I close my eyes, and the flashback starts,

I'm standing there,

On a balcony in summer air,

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns,

See you make your way through the crowd,

And say, "Hello",

Creeping out of your little hiding place you hastily move towards him and wrap your arms tightly around his waist, smooshing your face into that glorious body of his before he can sense you coming which causes him to yet again drop the pan out of shock as you had scared him half to death. Giggling you start swaying side to side pulling him with you so that you’re in time with the song. Nick is very confused at the start as he has no idea what’s going on so you had to tell him to stop him from worrying that something bad had happened and that’s why you were clinging to him like your life depended on it.

“Dance with me baby” you say whilst grinning as you move around his body so that you are facing him so that you can look into that beautiful face of his as you dance. Grabbing his hands you start pulling his hands back and forth to make a silly looking dance as you smile up at him, chuckling he smiles back like a lovesick fool while his ears twitch adorably as he realises that nothing is wrong and that you just wanted his attention which he will gladly give.

Little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"

And I was crying on the staircase

Begging you, "Please don't go, " and I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story baby just say "Yes"

So I sneak out to the garden to see you

We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew

So close your eyes

Escape this town for a little while

Nicks smiles even wider as he starts twirling you around the kitchen like a ballerina (whilst avoiding the pan just chilling on the floor) as you begin to sing along to the song trying to make it as exaggerated as you can.

I got tired of waiting

Wondering if you were ever coming around

My faith in you was fading

When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone

I keep waiting for you but you never come

Is this in my head? I don't know what to think

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said "Marry me Juliet

You'll never have to be alone

I love you and that's all I really know

I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress

It's a love story baby just say 'Yes'"

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Because we were both young when I first saw you

As you sing this last part you attempt to push the giant orc man to the ground which he is thrown by at first but the second you get to the part where Romeo drops to his knees he gets the message and drops like a rock. Laughing even harder you grasp his hands and finish up the song, pressing your lips to his. Once you both pull back and finish your silly giggles he suddenly stops in realisation and stares you dead in the eye as he states.

“But I don’t have a ring.”

Blinking dumbly you just gazed at him for a couple of seconds before bursting out laughing. Seeing his generally upset expression you attempt at reassuring him.

“It’s just a song baby and if you were to ever give me a ring I’d definitely say yes.”

Noding slowly he registered your words before smiling and pulling you down for a passionate kiss which literally took your breath away the only thing that stopped it from continuing was the distinct smell of smoke. Nicks head moved so quickly that he looked as if he’d given himself whiplash as he heaved himself off the floor and quickly ran to the oven. Exclaiming,

“Oh shit, the muffins! I was going to make you breakfast in bed.”

Laughing as you fell with your back against the cold floor. Saying with the biggest grin on your face.

“This is why I love you.”

...

...

...

End.

Pretty in Pages Part 13/? (Kandomere x OC RP)

HELLO WORLD! So, I was a total slacker the last few days. Didn’t update, sorry about that. I had planned to do it on the weekend but my brain had absolutely no patience for this kind of thing? So... I made bread instead. LAWL. Anywho, part 13 has arrived my friends. As always, written with @theperlerbeadqueen and myself. Enjoy guys! If anyone wants added to the tag list just message me or comment and ask, I’ll be glad to add you. Also, to those that asked. I have been adding the “Keep Reading” splits to my posts, but for some reason they haven’t been showing up on mobile? So, I apologize if they don’t show up, but, I am trying to figure out what is going on with that.

Beginning | Previous | Next |

Kandomere came down the stairs from his bedroom not long after she started breakfast. He was wearing a very nice, flat black suit with vest and tie, per usual. He was buttoning his sleeve cuffs as he walked into the kitchen. He smiled, but it hurt. His chest felt tight and his heart seemed to sink. He didn’t know the last time his house felt lived in, like it was a home. He hoped that she would forgive him for what he had to do.

“Good morning.” He said quietly, pouring himself a cup of coffee before quickly eating some of the food she had prepared. He sighed and straightened out his coat, making sure he had his multiple phones and pagers before looking at her. “Are you ready?”

The drive to work was almost complete silence. He went into his office and didn’t request anything for the entire day. He did not page her once, for anything. He filled out the proper paperwork to have her internship transferred across town, outside of the elf district, to his colleague, Monteguh. He knew that his friend and partner would treat her well and also continue to make sure she received payment for her efforts. More importantly, it would still look good on her experience for time served. It would still be within the same division of the FBI and would look much better than her being terminated.

Violet murmured a good morning as she finished the dishes and laid them out to dry before joining him at the table. She ate as quickly as she could and then set the dishes in the sink, nodding her head gently, “I am.” she said simply, picking up her coat and her purse before following him out to his car. She remained quiet the entire ride, following him inside but keeping a little bit of a distance, trying to make it look like they hadn’t come to work together. She wanted to talk to him all day, but decided that it was simply better if she didn’t.

So for the majority of the day she didn’t bother him, only sending him small emails to remind him of his appointments or phone calls he was supposed to make, including checking on Alexeena. By the time five o’clock rolled around she was mentally drained, and just wanted to go home. Glancing back at his office door she sighed, sending him another quick email that told him she was going to go home a little early today, and try to catch up on her sleep. Hitting send she stood up and slid her arms into her jacket, adjusting the thin coat over her dress shirt before she picked up her purse and slung it over her shoulder. Shutting down the computer she turned off her desk lamp and headed for the door.

Kandomere responded to her emails, but only enough to let her know he did receive them. He did what he needed to do, answering questions from his superiors as to why he wanted to transfer his intern without her previous consent. He felt a little bit guilty about it. Once the transfer went through, she would only have two choices. Transfer, or quit. She wouldn’t be able to stay with him. He had listed his reasoning as ‘conflict of interests’. It seemed more professional than the truth. He got her email that stated she was leaving for the day and he let out a deep sigh, closing his eyes tightly. He wanted to tell her what he was doing, but he knew she would argue. She was going to hate him either way. He hoped that it would at least be temporary. It would take a few days, maybe even weeks, for this paperwork to pass through all of the proper channels. She would eventually get the notification from her school regarding her transfer. He figured he would know immediately when she received this notification, because she would have questions.

    Alexeena was growing very impatient with this Elvish Hospital. Her right wrist was in a leather strap, holding her securely to her hospital bed. If it weren’t for Nick being allowed to stay by her side, she did not know if she could stay here. She hated all of the doctors, even though they were kind to her and to Nick. Mostly, it was hard to see her mother after all of this time and to have her act like nothing ever happened between them. She sighed as she looked up at the TV mounted on the wall, clicking the remote repeatedly with her left hand. Nothing was worth watching, but keeping her hand busy made her feel better. She wanted to go home, but there were still black veins across her skin, even though it had been four days. She did not have the patience for this. She wanted to go home. She wanted to go back to work. She wanted to be literally anywhere but here.

    Violet exhaled slowly and sadly through her nose as she got on the elevator and took it down to the main floor, heading outside to catch her bus home. She looked at her cell phone once she was home and comfortable, honestly debating sending him a text message, but she thought better of it and put it on the charger and hopping in the bathtub, doing her very best to resist the urge to touch herself while thinking about him. Instead she read a book, and tried not to think about a handsome blue eyed elf that was rapidly stealing her heart.

    Nick had dozed off slightly in his chair next to Alexeena’s bed, his head lolling to the side slightly as he dreamed about going home with her and sleeping in a real bed, even if they did have to share it with Maggie. Ward had been filled in on the need to know details finally, and was watching Maggie at his house with his wife and daughter for him so he didn’t have to go home as often to check on her. He jolted slightly from his sleep when a particularly loud commercial came on the TV. “I’m awake!” he snorted and rubbed his face with his hand, blinking and looking around the room in a daze until he fully woke up. Glancing from the TV to Alexeena he sighed, slipping his hand out to lay on her thigh, “The books I brought you not good enough?” he asked softly, sliding his hand into hers that was strapped to the bed, wishing he could undo it and let her free, but he had been given strict instructions not to let her out of that bed, and he wasn’t about to be yelled at by her mother.

    Kandomere didn’t go home that night, but rather, fell asleep at his desk. That is, until his phone went off. It was Monteguh. There was a possible Bright situation. He groaned and looked at the clock, it was half past midnight and he agreed to come to the location. He went out and got into his car, driving off with his sirens blaring on the top of his car.

    Alexeena looked over at Nick boredly. There were still black veins in her iris’, causing her lovely blue eyes to look dark gray. “I’ve already read them.” She said softly. She released the remote and squeezed his hand in hers. “I hate it here. Everything smells like elf. I know that they are all being kind because mother and Kandomere are forcing them to be. I can tell that they hate me. They like you better than they like me. I am seen as a traitor here. Ever since I murdered my ex husband in cold blood. I should have done the civil thing and just gotten a divorce, like Kandomere did…” She laughed bitterly before raising her hand to stroke Nick’s cheek. “Thank you… For staying here with me. I know it must be hard for you, being here, surrounded by us…”

    Nick gave her a deadpan look as she spoke, leaning his head into her touch on his cheek and shaking his head gently, “I don’t care where I am. As long as you’re here, this is where I will stay. They don’t say harsh words and they don’t feel the need to belittle me at every turn. It’s better than work.” he teased her playfully but reached out to cup her cheek in return, “You are healing slowly, and they don’t want to let you go until all of the remnants of magic poisoning is out of your system. And I don’t want you to either, until I know for sure you will be ok.” he murmured.

    “You’re my world, Alex. In this little bubble. I’ll get you some new books when I go home, something you probably haven’t read.” he assured her and slid his hand into her soft purple hair, “I’ll always be here when you need me. Promise.” he dipped his head further to kiss her lightly, brushing his nose against hers before he leaned back to look down at her, “Would you like me to find something to entertain you?”

    Alexeena couldn’t help but laugh when he compared the hospital to work. “I thought things were getting better at work, Nick?” She questioned softly. “I thought that…  after the incident… Things were getting better for you and Ward? More Orc applicants, less crooked cops?” She questioned sadly before kissing him back, tears filling her eyes slightly when he said that she was his world. “I know…” She said sadly, a tear sliding down her pale cheek. “And you are mine…” She said, though the words pained her. She knew she would outlive him by millenia, and that was something that could not be stopped. “More books would be nice, but you don’t have to entertain me. I’m just glad that you are here, keeping me sane.”

    Nick softly chuckled and brushed his thumb over her her cheek, “They are. A couple of the guys still like to razz me every once and a while, but usually one look from Ward gets them to shut up. I was only trying to make it sound more glamorous here.” he admitted sheepishly and stood up, climbing into the hospital bed with her and drawing her close up against his chest, wiping the tears from her cheek.

    “Don’t think about it.” he whispered, knowing exactly why it was the tears had started, his hands caressing her soft skin and tucking her hair behind her ears, “We have a long time together… and it’s only started. There is no sense in dwelling on what the future holds, at least not at this very second. We’ll figure everything out in time. I promise.” he laid his cheek against the top of her head, his fingers drawings swirls on her bare arm as he closed his eyes and exhaled through his nose, “Next time I go home I’ll bring more back with me. Keeping you entertained is better than listening to the constant flipping of channels.” he teased her playfully, giving her arm a light tickle and pressing his lips to her forehead.

    Alexeena laughed softly after he dried her tears and crawled into the bed with her. She leaned against him, nuzzling her head beneath his chin while he spoke. “I will do my best not to think about it, but it is kind of hard not to. I have lost lovers before.” She murmured softly before feeling a little sheepish when he mentioned the licking of the channels. “Sorry.. I like to keep my hands busy if the rest of me isn’t doing anything. Could you maybe bring me a notebook and some pens? Maybe I’ll do some writing of my own while I’m stuck in this neon lit, elvish run, torture chamber.” She said with a playful smile before looking up at him. “Have you heard from Kandomere at all..?”

    Nick couldn’t help but laugh at her teasing about the torture chamber, but nodded, “Of course. I’ll bring a set of them for you too. Perhaps the world needs a little more Alice Hepbern in their lives.” he whispered to her playfully before pressing a kiss to her temple, “It’s alright, ha rega.” he whispered, “I know you have. But this is a different time. We don’t know what will happen in the next four hundred years… but anything could be possible.” he mused and then blinked slightly, “He did ring once, while you were napping earlier, nothing really important, just to ask how things were going. Wanted to know how your progress was. He was going to see if there was anything that could be done to speed up your recovery.”

    “Something is on his mind.. I can feel it…” Alexeena said quietly, tracing her fingers across Nick’s palm. “I always refer to him as my elder brother, because he is, but we are twins. He is only a few minutes older than me. It’s funny to think how different we are… But how connected we have always been…” She murmured quietly. “Something has changed and it worries me…” She said before closing her eyes. “I hate how tired I am… All the time…” She murmured before falling asleep almost instantly.

    Nick caressed her hair gently, nodding his head, “I know. I think so too. But he will tell us when he is ready.” he assured her and pressed her head against him, his fingers slowly riding up and down her arm as she fell asleep against his chest, “It’ll be awhile before you start to feel like yourself again. Try to rest… I’ll be here with you, I promise.” he murmured. He felt drained, but he wouldn’t leave her to go anywhere unless she was awake and he could tell her he was going. He didn’t want her to wake up without him there… things could get bad very quickly for the nurses if he was gone when she awoke.

    Kandomere had made it a point to stop by and see Alexeena,after two days of unexpected field work. He still hadn’t heard a peep from Violet, so he assumed that she did not get her transfer email yet. He got to the hospital and was immediately lead to his sister. No one even asked him who he was or who he was here to see. Everyone knew, without question. When he arrived in the room, he found Alexeena to be asleep and Nick in the bed with her. He was surprised that it could hold the weight of an Orc, seeing as it was built to support elves. He smiled at Nick and nodded his head slightly when her entered the room, with a small paper bag in his hand. “Hello, Officer Jakoby.” He said politely before stepping forward and sitting down in Nick’s chair. “I’ve brought these for her. There are a couple of books, and a few snacks. I know that hospital food isn’t always the greatest. I’ve brought some food for you, also. I didn’t know what you liked so I just… Grabbed a few things.” His demeanor was friendly and charming, not the stone wall that Nick was used to.

    Nick looked up from his gentle affections when he heard the door open, raising his eyebrow and chuckling softly at the sight before him, “Agent Kandomere.” he said gently, “Hello. You just missed her. She fell asleep a few minutes ago… said you were hiding something and she didn’t like it, and then she was out like a light.” he mused with a soft sigh, looking over at the paper bag, “Thank you. The food here is pretty deplorable, even for an Elvish hospital. Snacks are always welcome. I’m not picky, so long as it isn’t anything beef related.” he smiled in amusement at his own little joke before turning to look at Kandomere again, “She is right though. Something has changed with you. Since when do you bring anything for me unless it's a bribe?” he joked, leaning back against the raised back of the bed and shifting to get more comfortable with Alexeena by his side.

        “Ah… No. No beef.” Kandomere said, feeling lucky that he had grabbed chicken and fish related dishes. “I didn’t know you didn’t eat Beef.” He said, making a mental note of that, right before Nick accused him of hiding things, or that Alexeena had accused him. “She’s not wrong.” He murmured softly, gazing over at his sister, reaching out to squeeze her hand before standing and looking over at Nick. “I have always admired her uncompromising values. I wish that I were as brave and confident as she is.” He explained quietly. He looked back to make sure the door was closed before speaking again. “I seem to have found myself in a little bit of a mix up. No. It’s a full blown mess. I’ve made a very terrible mistake. I’ve developed feelings for a lovely, brilliant young woman. She’s perfection and I can’t help myself when I am around her. It has been a long time since I’ve lost control like this. She has a hard life. All I want to do is take care of her, but I can’t. She will die if I do. There are too many people alive who want to hurt me, and are willing to do anything it takes to get under my skin. I have to send her away… Far away. I’m not willing to risk her life. Not like Alexeena is willing to risk yours.”

    Nick smiled slightly when Kandomere seemed rather awkward about the beef question, “Most orcs don’t. It does weird things to us.” he admitted before clearing his throat and stroking Alexeena’s hair as he thought about what Kandomere was telling him, “It sounds like you love her.” he said gently, tilting his head to the side slightly, “But you want to know something?” he murmured, looking down at Alexeena, “I used to feel like I had to protect her, but… I know she protects me far more than I protect her. She has never been willing to risk my life. When she woke up she yelled at me. Cursed and spit and practically foamed at the mouth, telling me what an idiot I was for rushing into a battle I could never win on my own. She calmed down after a little while… but she has never once been willing to risk my life. Her own, yes. But never mine. No matter how much I tell her I do it every day.” he sighed and glanced over at Kan, “You know… that if this girl cares about you, like you do for her, how devastated she will be, when she finds out you plan to send her away? Secrets begat liars, and liars lose what is important to them.” he said gently.

    “I’m not telling you how to live your life… just trying to offer some insight. If you really cared about this girl, you would let her decide what she’s willing to risk, instead of making up her mind for her.”

    “Ah, yes, but there is a large difference you seem to have overlooked, Nick.” Kandomere said quietly, using his first name for the first time. “My love interest isn’t an Orc, or a Cop. Fuck…” Kandomere sighed. He very rarely swore. He was always so composed that the idea of curse words hardly crossed his mind. “She’s not even an elf… She’s a human. A human girl going through law school, just… trying to get by…” He said before shaking his head. He ran his fingers through his hair, smoothing it back from his face before looking down at Nick again. “I can’t let her stay close to me. It will ruin my reputation and hers. It wouldn’t be a good look for her or I. Really, Nick. Sleeping with my secretary would be a disaster that even the FBI wouldn’t be able to damage control. I’d lose my job. Her career would be over before it even started. I cannot keep her under my employment, not if we want to survive this.” He sighed before looking out the window, clearly deep in contemplation. “I hope I can convince her to give up her dreams, for me.” He admit suddenly. “I am hoping she will just.. Quit.. and go into the shadows. Stay with me, but stay out of sight of the public eye so that she does not become a target. Anyone close to me automatically has a target painted on their back. Especially by the Inferni. I’ve killed too many of them for them to leave me unscathed forever.”

    “If she really cares about you, I’m sure she would do just about anything to stay beside you. But you have to ask her. Not just move her somewhere else without her permission and expect her to be okay with it. I understand the circumstances are different… and that you can’t be together as you are, but I’m sure there are other ways for you two to make things work. Communication is key.” he said softly, looking down at Alexeena and smiling softly to himself, before looking back up at Kandomere and sobering, still surprised by the man’s use of his first name, “Tell her that you want to take care of her. Tell her how much she means to you, that you don’t really want her to move away or never see her again. That you want her to stay.” he said softly and closed his eyes, “This is one conversation I never thought I would be having with you, Kandomere. Haven’t you been married before?” he chuckled lightly and raised his eyebrow.

    Kandomere couldn’t help but to laugh at Nick’s final question after all of his advise. “For Six hundred and thirty five years.” He said before giving Nick a sort of sly smile. “As you can imagine, I’m a little bit rusty when it comes to dating. I’ve also never dated a human before. Wasn’t exactly permitted when I was a younger man. It’s still not common, but at least now it is legal.” He pointed out bluntly before sighing. “She and  I will have this conversation, soon, I’m afraid. I already filed the paperwork to get her removed from my office to avoid temptation. She will not be happy with me when she receives notification of her removal. I’ll make my offer to her then… She can decide what she wants.”

    “Wise man.” Nick said with a grin before reclining and laying his head on top of Alexeena’s, weaving his fingers with hers and breathing out slowly through his nose, “Yeah… at least it isn’t illegal anymore. But at least you being with a human will be more common than Alexeena being with me.” he chuckled lightly and focused on Kandomere’s face, “I wish you luck, Kandomere. And hopefully she doesn’t rip you a new asshole before you get a chance to offer her the life you want to have with her.” he said in a soft, friendly tone, stifling a yawn. Something about hospitals, and how much Alexeena slept, always made him tired too.

    “I think that this will likely be the closest ‘near death’ experience I’ve had in a very long time.” Kandomere joked before nodding his head toward them. “You rest. Keep an eye on her. Have her call me if you need me to bring you anything. I am always on call.” He assured him before he left and went back to the Inferni scene where Monteguh was waiting for him. They had several suspects that were linked to the extremist organization. He sent an email from his phone to Violet, letting her know that he likely would not be in office for the next few days while they processed these suspects. He didn’t like the idea of not being in office to see her, but he didn’t have much choice. He certainly couldn’t take her with him in the field. That was a death sentence without question. He also hoped she would not get her relocation information before while he wasn’t in office.

    Nick gave him a gentle smile and nodded his head to the instructions, “Good luck. You’re gonna need it.” he repeated once more before watching him leave the room. Nick then snuggled down with Alexeena and fell asleep quite quickly.

Back at home, Violet checked her email and sighed when she read the newest one from Kandomere, saying he would be out of the office for a few days on a case. At least she wouldn’t have any awkward conversations with him when he came in and out of his office. She was still sad she wouldn’t get to see him in that time.

    And she didn’t see him, not the rest of that week or the first three days of the next one. By the time Wednesday came around she was worried about him, but she knew better than to bother him on a case. So instead she just managed his appointments for him while he was gone, doing her own school work and anything else she could do to keep her mind off things. That was until she got an email around lunch time that made her blood boil, and tears burn at the corners of her eyes.

    A formal request from her employer, Agent Kandomere, to have her transferred across the city, to an office in the human district. The tears slid down her cheeks as she scrolled through the email, her breathing starting to come in short, rough gasps as she struggled not to hyperventilate. She wanted it not to be true, but all the facts were there, all the attached files were correct. A sob escaped her lips and she glanced around the office, covering her mouth with her hand and getting up from her desk to hurry into his office and shut the door behind herself, pressing herself against the wall and crying openly in his nearly soundproofed room. She just wanted a place to cry, to let out the emotions in her chest before they strangled her.

    She had thought things were going well, that she was doing her job decently, that they had managed to keep things professional. It had been hard for her to keep her professionalism up to normal standards, but all she wanted to do was throw herself at him. But she didn’t. And now he was pushing her away further, had requested the transfer the morning after they had such a good talk, had resolved to be professional and pretend as if nothing had happened that day. Her sobs were gut wrenching and she doubled over on the couch, pressing her face against her knees and clutching at her stomach with her hands, her knuckles white as she gripped the material of her shirt harshly.

    Kandomere was absolutely exhausted, more or less running on empty. He and Monteguh had interrogated twenty three people in the last week and a half, none of which were particularly cooperative. One of them had even stabbed him, which only added onto the time it took to process them. The stab was to his ribcage, but they missed anything vital. He got a couple of stitches and was sent on his way. He even stopped by to see Alexeena and Nick while he was there. He was also informed that she would be released later this week. That made him feel better, knowing she was making progress and that the use of magic wasn’t going to kill her.

After arriving back into the Elf District, he went home. It was three am on Wednesday and he was exhausted. He went directly to sleep, too tired to even take a shower. Elves had more stamina than humans, but that did not mean they could function forever without rest. He slept until around noon before forcing himself to get out of bed. He had over a weeks worth of paperwork to wade through when he finally went back to the office. He took a long shower to clean himself up and to check his stitches, which were healing nicely.

He dressed in his nice, navy pinstripe suit, with the metal decorative piece across his upper chest. He hadn’t heard anything from Violet today, and that worried him. He hoped that she wasn’t out sick. She usually was good about telling him if she wasn’t going to be in.

He got to his car and hurried into the office. He walked inside and froze. She wasn’t at her desk. His heart plummeted. He drew near and he could smell her. She had been here, recently. That was when the sound of crying filled his ears. He tried to focus on where it was coming from. He was surprised to hear that it was coming from inside his office.

His mind immediately went to the worst case scenario. He drew his gun from its holster and loaded it, cocking it before slowly approaching the large, double doors. He slowly pushed open the door, sliding his gun in first to scan the area. He was relieved but confused to see her, alone, crying on the lounger near the wall. He lowered his gun, but did not put it away.

“Jesus, Violet. What the hell happened? Are you alright?” He questioned with sincere concern in his voice.

Violet was trembling on the lounger, her knees pulled up to her chest and her face pressed into them, trying to calm herself down but she couldn’t. Why did it hurt so damned much that he was pushing her away? She heard the click of the door but it didn’t register past her soft sobs until she heard Kandomere’s voice and lifted her head from her knees to look at him. Her eyes were red and puffy, tear streaks running down her face. Her eyes hardened instantly when she saw him, his gun held at his side, “Oh, ‘What happened Violet’?” she parroted, hiccuping and shaking as she wrapped her arms around her middle and glared at him, “Why don’t you tell me, Kandomere? Tell me how… how you decided to transfer me?” she croaked out, her voice cracking from the crying as more tears slid down her cheeks without her control, “You could have just told me you didn’t want me around anymore. You didn’t have to go behind my back to do it, you could have just ripped out what little there was left of my heart in person.” she cried softly, “I… I can’t. If you don’t want me to work for you then I… I’ll find another agency to work for. You don’t have to keep me around just because you feel bad for me. Poor little Violet, a poor little human who cries at the drop of the hat and can’t afford to buy a car, can’t afford a house where she can live by herself--” another sob cut her off and she got up from the lounger, stumbling when her heel caught the carpet but she caught herself on the wall, her body shaking.

    She sucked in several calming breaths before glancing over at him again. She didn’t have anymore words to yell at him, only a question. “Why?” she finally begged, the tears still coming, “Please. Tell me why. What did I do wrong? I thought I was doing good. Why?” she whispered, her knees shaking as she struggled to keep herself upright.

    “You scared me to death, Violet!” Kandomere growled, not able to vocalize his legitimate fear for her when he had arrived. He unloaded his gun and put it back into the holster beneath his dress coat. He could tell by her condescending, mocking tone, that she had received the email regarding her transfer. He stood straight and locked his door behind him, listening to her verbal assault as she laid it on him. He waited until she was finished and stood up from the lounger before finally speaking to her.

    His face was like stone, the way it was before they had started talking on a personal level. “Is that really what you think, Violet?” He demanded lowly, approaching her with a strong stride. “You really think that I look down on you, and that is why I am transferring you?” He demanded. He approached her, getting close, making her back up against the wall. He placed a hand on either side of her, hitting the wall hard as he did so. He wanted to make sure he had her complete and undivided attention. He knew he was inside of her ‘bubble’ but he didn’t care. “You honestly think that I would allow a lowly, sniveling child to have control over my schedules and my safety? You think I would place my trust in a human who I didn’t believe could take care of my every need at the drop of a hat?  You think that because you are just starting out, struggling to take care of yourself, that it makes you lesser than me?” He growled, his face very close to hers, so that she could feel his breath against her skin.

    “If you think that… You are by far the most stupid and foolish girl I have ever met in my life. I transferred you so that I would not damage your reputation, or mine. I transferred you to an office of equal significance so that it would not look like you couldn’t handle this position. I transferred you to my colleague Monteguh so that I could keep my eye on you from a safe distance, so that those around would not think that you are affiliated with me.” He said before he moved one of his hands from the wall to wipe the tears away from her cheeks with his thumb. “I transferred you because I didn’t know how long I could keep coming into this office and seeing your face at your desk… And not touch you. Not hold you against me. When I see you, I see a strong and determined young woman… But I can not help my desire to take care of you. I want to give you everything you’ve ever dreamed of. I want you to stay with me, at my home. I want you with me. Every day. All the time. I am selfish and I am cruel. I will work myself to death because I have nothing else in my life, not anymore. I have not been happy for a very long time, not until you showed up here.” He said before moving his other hand from the wall, cupping her cheeks in his large hands. “I don’t expect you to forgive me…” He said before leaning down and forcing his lips against hers roughly, as he had wanted to for what felt like centuries. He kissed her deeply, but kept his tongue inside of his own mouth, for now. He broke the kiss and pressed his forehead against hers. “But I couldn’t go another minute without having the option of kissing you. You can be mad at me. You can hate me… But I didn’t transfer you because I thought you were worthless. I transferred you because I think that you are priceless.”

    Violet stood trembling by the wall, her chest rising and falling as the tears continued to stream down her cheeks, her emotions in a tangle that she couldn’t undo by herself. She was mad, she was upset, she was terrified. She didn’t want to leave him, but he was trying to force her away. “How would I know what you think when you don’t tell me? Maybe I am stupid! But I can’t read minds.” she whimpered, backing up against the wall as he advanced on her, a flash of fear coming to her eyes when his arms slammed against the wall on either side of her and pinned her to the surface, “I just wanted to be near you.” she whispered hoarsely, tears still running down her cheeks as he leaned closer and his tone got softer as he explained the real reasons he had transferred her.

    A broken sob escaped her lips as she tried to wrangle the rampaging hormone troll that lived in her belly, the one fueled by her emotions that had made her yell at him, made her cry, made her feel like the world was crumbling down around her. She was quiet as he continued to explain, her chest aching with emotion and more unshed tears as she stared up into his eyes. “I’m mad at you. I don’t hate you, Kan.” she whispered roughly, her lower lip trembling when he finally went on to explain that he didn’t think he could go any longer with her in that office, sitting at her desk, and not hold her, kiss her, touch her. Her resistance was already cracking, but when he told her that he hadn’t been happy in a very long time until she came into his life, she broke. Her tears fell fat and heavy and she whimpered, her eyes slipping shut the instant his lips met hers.

    She didn’t resist, she didn’t pull away. Instead, she pressed up against him, her lips melding with his as he roughly kissed her, her fingers coming up to grasp his dress shirt and cling to it, rumpling the pressed material between her fingers. When their lips parted and his forehead pressed against hers, she opened her eyes to look up at him, her tears still falling though they were not as heavy now. Sniffing roughly she squeezed his shirt in her hands and focused on his face. She was practically at a loss for words, but somehow she managed to find some, “I don’t want to go.” she whispered hoarsely, “I don’t want to be someone else’s secretary. If I can’t be yours, I don’t want to be anyone’s.” she murmured, her lips quivering, “I want to be with you, Kan. Please don’t make me go away.” she begged weakly, his words of her being priceless making the tears flow all the harder.

    “You can’t stay.” Kandomere said quietly, brushing away her tears again with gently fingers. His skin was soft, as if he hadn’t worked a day in his life. “I don’t want you to give up your career.” He lied, kissing her forehead gently. “Monteguh will take good care of you. I am certain of it. You will be a wondrous help in his office. You will still get the time needed for your bar exams. Your reputation will not be tainted just because your dashing, elvish employer decided he had to seduce you.” He was trying to tease her, not that his tone showed it. He really did have an issue with his tone when it came to making jokes. “You don’t have to go to Monteguh, but it will destroy your career.” He advised her cautiously. “If you stay here with me, it will destroy both of us. Professionally.” He made sure to add that annotation. “I want you to stay with me. I don’t want you to get hurt. I have enemies centuries old. I have people just itching and searching for a way to hurt me, just because of who I am and what my job is.” He explained, his voice barely above a whisper. “If you are going to stay with me… You have to be with me. At my home. You won’t be able to have an outside job. You can work from home to stay busy if you want, but you can not leave without me, or without the bodyguards.” He continued to explain. “I want more than anything to keep you near me. That’s why I couldn’t have you in the office anymore…”

    Violet whimpered gently as he brushed her tears away and told her that she couldn’t stay, that he didn’t want her to give up her career for him. They would both be professionally ruined if she stayed in the office. She didn’t want to ruin his career. She just wanted to be with him, wherever that may be, “I… I don’t have to work here.” she whispered roughly, “I just… want to be where you are.” she bit onto her lower lip as he explained that if she wanted to stay with him it would mean giving up her career, giving up everything she had worked for the last few years. She couldn’t leave the house without him or a bodyguard, because people wanted to harm him. Somehow… none of that mattered, “I do want to be with you.” she whispered softly, her body shaking as she reached up and grasped his hands that framed her face, “I only became a lawyer, because my father wanted me to.” she whispered to him, “I don’t want to be a lawyer, but it pays good. His job as one kept us fed and clothed… and I thought it would do that for me too. But it means… nothing to me.”

    “If I could choose what I did, for my life… I would chose to stay at home. To be a mom, to make a house a home, like my mom did.” she murmured weakly, “I’ll be with you, stay home… only leave when you do, or bodyguards take me somewhere… if it means that I never have to leave your side.” she promised, clinging to his hands and staring up into his eyes beseechingly, “Please. Don’t send me away.” she begged once more, letting go of his hands and reaching up to cup his face, pulling him down that last few more inches to press her lips to his roughly, nipping on his lower lip and kissing him with every ounce of need she had. He was all she wanted.

        “Your father took care of you and your family.” Kandomere pointed out, stroking her hair with the back of his hand gently. “Let me take care of you. I don’t care if my ideals are outdated. Please. It would be so easy for me to take you into my life. You have all the space you could ever want to work with to make the house a home. We could be parents. We could be happy. Hell, I could retire.” He joked, the proper tone finally coming out this time before he kissed her back, holding her face gently. He slid his hands down her shoulders, to her sides and to her hips. He picked her up gently and pressed her against the walls, holding her thighs, spreading her legs around his torso as he kissed her, pinned up against the wall. “You can decline the transfer and then quit…” He murmured softly. “You can drop out of college… I can pay off your student loans. You don’t have to worry about anything. You do not have to worry about wanting or needing, ever again, as long as I live.” He promised her. “The only thing I ask in return is that you stay safe. It will be annoying and you will be frustrated by it more often than not… But I need you to stay safe. If you stay safe, I can give you everything else.”

    Violet whimpered against his mouth as they kissed for several long moments before pulling back long enough to look up into his eyes as he offered to take care of her, they could have babies, she could turn his huge mansion into a home, and be happy. When he joked about retiring she laughed softly as well, pressing her face against his, “You don’t have to retire.” she whispered, leaning into his hands that cradled her face until he moved them away to grasp her by the hips and lift her against the wall, drawing a loud gasp from her. She spread her legs and hooked them on his hips so that he could press up against her, pinning her to the wall. Leaning back against it she gazed up at him, moaning when he kissed her again, trembling and rubbing her hands over his chest, “I don’t care if they are outdated views. I want to be yours.” she whispered and leaned up to press her lips to his chin, pressing kisses up to his mouth where she planted another longer one, reaching up to hold his shoulders.

    “I will. I promise.” she assured him and one hand cupped his cheek, her breath hitching as she squeezed her legs around him, “I will be yours, I’ll make that house ours, I’ll give you as many babies as you want.” she promised, tears dripping down her cheeks again though now they were happy, not devastated, “I’ll quit college, and decline the transfer and the job…  I’m yours. Forever.” she promised in a broken voice, looping her arms around his neck and dragging him down into another kiss, her body arching up against his as her tongue brushed his lower lip.

“Slow down…” Kandomere said softly, shaking his head. “We aren’t even officially a romantic couple yet, Vi. I have only listed available options to you. I do not want you to feel obligated to give me children. I have gone this long without.” He said, kissing her forehead again gently. She pulled him down to kiss her again and a small moan passed his lips while he dug his fingers into her hips, forcing himself to ease up on his grip. He would need to frequently remind himself that she is human. She would not have the same endurance and durability that an elf woman would have, not that he really remembered much of what that was like, anyway. “You don’t have to quit college… Just don’t be a lawyer. You could take classes online, from the safety of the house. You could work from home. I don’t want to make you a prisoner. Captive and Safe do not mean the same thing.” He assured her before kissing her again. Did he really want to do this here, in his office? His logical senses told him he needed to stop, to take her home, to treat her well… However, this was silenced by the carnal instinct and craving. The feel and the smell of her, so close to him after all of this time. “Are you a virgin, Violet?”

Light-Bringer Chapter Four

(Welcome to chapter 4 of my Nick Jakoby x Reader fic from Bright. Last Chapter we finally saw our favourite Orc. This chapter is a little short but meh, at least there ain’t no more torture. All previous chapters are on my page. Again, this fic is un-beta’d so all mistakes are my own. Enjoy.)

There was a steady, annoying beep next to your head. Your eyes fluttered open to see wires attached to you, bandages and casts all over your body. The bed felt uncomfortable and scratchy.

The two officers, and two MTF agents were outside the room, clearly waiting until you awoke.

“Kandomere?” You tried to talk, but your voice felt hoarse.

You pressed the button for a nurse. Within a few minutes, there was one at the door and talking to your protectors. Kandomere turned and saw that you were awake. You gave him a reassuring smile.

He walked in with the nurse.

“Miss Y/N.” Kandomere said.”How do you feel?”

“Floaty.” You said.”But I know it’s just the drugs they’re giving me. It’s better than being in pain.”

The orc and human stood outside the door still.

“Thank the officers for me. I don’t know what I would’ve done if they hadn’t been at the exact place I needed them at the exact time.”

“I will let them in when we’re done speaking, you can tell them yourself.” Kandomere told you.

“I thought you were watching my building.” You said to them.”Or at least had someone-“

“We’re sorry Miss Y/N.” Kandomere said.

An apology from an elf? Now you knew you were on drugs.

“Nothing to be done about it now.” You said.

“Who were they and what did they want?” Montehugh asked.

“Three elves. A woman leader and her two goons.” You said. “She wanted to find the prophecy, get me to translate the scroll.”

“Did you tell her anything?”

“Of course not! I’m not stupid. I didn’t take this hell of a beating for nothing.”

“You’re very brave.”

“Not at all. I couldn’t risk them knowing. They could’ve killed the light-bringer.”

“How did they find out about the scroll?” Kandomere asked.

“Marcus was working for them, or is. You should question him. If he’s not already dead or gone. They-they killed Doctor Burns too.”

“We know. We found him washed up on the beach, severally beaten.”

“Oh. I guess he got it worse than I did.”

“You are worth more to them. You’re the only one who can translate the scroll.”

“They couldn’t get it.” You told them.”The leader, she said she had contacts at your office. You did hide the scroll, didn’t you?”

Kandomere nodded.”Like you, we couldn’t risk it.”

You sighed a little in relief.

“Then all is safe.”

There was a pause.

“You realize that you’re in a lot of danger still.” Montehugh said.

“Yeah. I figured.”

“We will keep two guards on you nonstop until this is over.” Kandomere assured me.

“It might never be over.” You said.

“If it comes to that we will have to put you in witness protection.”

You gulped, not wanting to leave Los Angeles or the job you’d worked your whole life for.

“Right.”

“Do not worry.” Kandomere’s hand enveloped your own.”We will do everything we can to keep you and the scroll safe.”

You smiled a little, even though it hurt.

“We are going to work right away on this. Officers Ward and Jakoby will be out there if you need them.”

“What will you tell them?”

“Only what they need to know.”

“So, basically nothing?” You asked.

“Clever girl.” Kandomere smiled a little.

Was it just the drugs making him seem less rigid? He was a lot nicer now and friendly. God, these were some crazy drugs.

You got some more rest as Ward and Jakoby guarded your door. You felt safe in their care, having being saved by them.

The first time Jakoby came in to check on you, his head was hung.

“H-hi.” He said.

“Hello Officer.” You said in his language.

His ears twitched; how cute.

“My name is Jakoby.” He said.

“Yes, I know.” You said.”You saved me.”

“Not just me, Miss.”

Humble too.

“I’m very grateful to you. I’m alive because of you and your partner.”

“Just doing my job.” He said.

“Well, still...Thank you.”

He smiled, showing his filed down tusks.

Jakoby came in a few times to check on you, which you thought was incredibly sweet and told him as much. He blushed every time.

“Your first name, what is it?” You asked.

“Nicholas.” He said.

“And people call you Nick?”

“That’s right.”

“You...you were part of that incident a few months ago, right?”

“I-that was me.”

You smiled.”Thank you for that.”

“Right place at the right time, that’s all.”

“That seems to happen to you a lot. Saved L.A, saved my life.You’ll probably save the president after this.”

He chuckled.”Unlikely.”

Nick was cute. You liked how you felt around him.

Two other cops showed up after that, to relieve Ward and Jakoby for 12 hours.

“We’ll be back at 7am.” Nick told you.

“I look forward to seeing you then.”

He blushed again and nodded as he left.”B-bye.”

You tried to occupy your time but your paranoia and pain made it hard to concentrate.

Your doctor came in at the end of rounds. Her last name was Ward too.

“How are you feeling?” She asked.

“Like crap.”

“I can up your dosage, you have a lot allotted for your kind of injuries.”

“No. No more morphine.” You said.”I don’t want to get hooked.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t give you that much. It’s just for pain. You have a lot of broken bones and bruises, you need it.”

You sighed.”Okay but just a little.”

She smiled and let you have some.

“Are you married to the cop that was just here?” You asked.

“I am. He’s protecting you, right?”

“He is. Him and Nick saved my life.”

“He’s a good man. Nick is a good person too.”

“He’s cute.” You smiled.

She chuckled.”That would be the drugs kicking in.”

“Nah, He is really cute. His ears twitch when he’s nervous or embarrassed and especially when he’s blushing. He can blush, I’ve seen it. I’ve never been attracted to an Orc before, but Nick is different.”

“Get some sleep.”

“You too.” You said.”Go home to your husband.”

“I will.” She looked happy at that.”At least I know he’s safer here guarding you than he is on the streets.”

You weren’t too sure about that.

Nick Jakoby Easter Imagine/ Headcanons Bright Imagine/Headcanons

Imagine Nick as the Easter Bunny, lol.

Ok, so it's a local charity event for kids

The chamber of commerce is putting it on and there's tons of local community workers out there volunteering their time.

School systems

Civic centers 

Pet shelters 

Rescue Squad/ EMS/ Local Hospital 

Fire Department

And of course, the Police Department

Now, what hilarious here is that Ward has been roped into cotton candy duty with his sweet little daughter because she WORKS her daddy

I mean, the boy never had a chance

And Nicholas has done gone and volunteered himself to be the damn Easter Bunny

To anyone who knows him and his gardening tendencies 

And his damn prize winning carrots..

This is the most hilarious fucking thing on the planet

But you know, Nick, ya boy is good natured about most things and takes it in stride. 

He's honestly just happy that it's good naturedly ribbing and not bullying

However, you were not happy to see any sort of Easter Bunny at all

See, you had your little sister

Who, for some unknown reason, must've thought that it was the damn devil because she screamed like you threw holy water when she saw him

We're talking total fucking meltdown

And there was just no calming her down

You just had to stand there and hold this three year old who was flailing and screaming at the top of her lungs 

Eventually you decided that you'd had enough 

If she was this scared there was no point

Yeah, she'd miss the rides and all the stuff

Yeah, you had promised to make an appearance at a couple of your friend's booths

But she seemed to be having some kind of serious tramatic experience over it

And however you want to dice it....you honestly just couldn't listen to the screaming anymore

Maybe next year

However, when you felt a tap on your shoulder you turned around to see the bunny.

"Look, man.  She's terrified and I don't know why but don't worry about it.  We're sorry for causing a scene. We're leaving."  

You just sighed. 

You were tired and at your wit's end about it

He just nodded that big floofy head and looked at the teary eyed child in your arms. 

"My name is Nick." he said.   "And I'm a police officer.  There's no reason to be afraid of me because I'm here to protect you."   

Now, your little sister began to chill just a little after that because you HAD taught her that the police were the good guys

Never mind the struggles with police brutality

They weren't ALL like that...and you tried your best to teach her that while sometimes it happened...there were a lot of good guys out there too

"You are?" she asked, tears still in her eyes.  

"Yep." he said. "I can take my helmet off if you want and you can see." 

"Otay." she nodded. 

He reached up and removed the head to reveal a rather handsome Orc officer. 

Nick Jakoby. 

You recognized him from the news. 

"See." he said.  "Nothing but good ol' Nicky here." 

She giggled.  

That little squirt just giggled. 

And judging by the hearts you could practically see floating in her eyes you guessed that she found him just as cute as you did.

"Wanna come back and play?" he asked. "My buddy, Ward and his little girl are working the cotton candy stand.  I could put in a good word for ya." 

She squealed and practically leapt out of your arms into his. 

You rolled your eyes. 

"Nice to know how fast you can be swayed with candy, you little booger." you laughed. 

"She's only human." Nick said and winked at you. 

Why that cheeky little..!

"But maybe she can have some fun in the jumper castle and I can buy a stressed momma an ice cream?" he asked, hope shining in his golden eyes. 

You smiled despite yourself.  

"She's my little sister." you said.  "But I'll definitely take you up on the ice cream." 

His grin made the whole experience worth it.

Heeeeey, smoochies!!! Hope you enjoyed this!!! I just wanted to get this out for my Frankie Boo and to wish everyone a very Happy Easter if you celebrate it.  I personally do not but my babygirl @winnieslittlepalace does , so ya know.  Happy Reading, guys!!!
