Just some notes on TADC Ep. 3 I made while watching (SPOILERS):
- Jax not wanting to show the cast what happens when he holds his breath could be because either a) nothing happens, b) he starts to loose health and die, or c) it’s just embarrassing and we all know Jax wouldn’t risk that. Both a and b fuels the theory that he’s an NPC.
- Obviously we know that the series was very much inspired by “I have no mouth, and I must scream”. The reason AM hates and tortures the humans is because they gave him endless intelligence and creativity but made him stationary. He couldn’t do anything else other than what he was made for: killing humans. Caine is the opposite side of the same coin. He was given endless creativity but has an outlet BUT is stuck within the confines of the Circus. Which is why Zooble not wanting to go on adventures really strikes a chord with him. Caine was made to create adventures and continues to do so to keep the cast happy and sane at least, so for Zooble to imply that he’s failing? Not only tells him that he sucks at his one job but could also imply that he feels trapped in the circus too?? Potentially???
- Zooble’s body dysmorphia makes me feel seen
-Also, If Caine can make a box of Zooble parts for them to use, then why can’t he CHANGE ZOOBLE? At least into something they feel more comfortable in?
- Kinger saying “You look beautiful, honey” to the angel because it brought him back to the moment Queenie abstracted also tells us that he still thought she was beautiful at her most broken and terrifying point. The writing this episode absolutely FLOORED me.
-Also Kinger being lucid in the dark is why he was able to remember Ragatha’s first day in the Circus while his head was stuck in the bucket in episode 2. It was dark.
-Kinger perfectly taking out the angel with only 2 shots in the dark?!?! No other thoughts on that, that is all.
- Kinger saying “7 years of Computer Science for this”, pretty much confirms that the cast worked at C&A and had something to do with the Circus’s creation. And “7 years of Computer Science” means Kinger had a Masters degree in computer science, so he was like higher up/more involved in the development. Senior Developer maybe? This could also be represented by the fact that he’s a KING chess piece. Not the most powerful and important piece, but the SECOND most powerful and important.
- Also Kinger being able to remember something about his life BEFORE the circus in the dark, i.e his education??? Could there be triggers for the others to remember bits and pieces of their lives before the Circus?
-Also ALSO, Kinger and Queenie being married in the Circus could also reflect their marital status before the Circus. Yes, they could’ve fallen in love in the circus and had Caine??? marry them, but I like the idea of them popping into the circus remembering nothing but their love for each other. Which makes me think about what happens to the bodies and minds outside the circus of those who abstracted.
- Kinger and Pomni in the ep are father/daughter or grandpa/granddaughter coded.
- “ The darkness seemed to calm her down a bit, the harsh, jagged edges smoothed out and she didn’t seem aggravated anymore”, pretty much confirms that Caine has no idea how to handle the abstractions so he just throws them in the basement (where it’s dark) to keep them docile. Which could also mean that there could be a way to fix them down the road???
- “She wasn’t the same as before but she was calm enough to touch one last time” “She was funny, creative, really into entomology” “I used to HATE bugs, but she somehow got me to like them” OH HOW HE LOVED HER!!! THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE FUN HALLOWEEN EP, NOW IM SOBBING AT 4 AM OVER CHESS PIECES!!!
-Also Kinger liking bugs because that’s the only connection to his wife he has left. He doesn’t have his good memories with her all the time due to his light induced memory loss, but at least he has her bugs.
- “Good memories can do a lot, hold onto them and cherish the people around you. You never know when they’ll be gone.” SOBBING. Also this is a good underlying theme for TADC.
-Also another reason why Kinger spends so much time in his fort, the memories of his wife are the only things keeping him sane.
-“In this world the worst thing you can do is make someone think they’re not wanted or loved.” CRYING.
-The whole scene of Kinger glowing and guiding Pomni. Holy shit that was beautiful. The darkness bringing out the light in Kinger, Pomni using these memories to light her way and keep her sane in the Circus, BEAUTIFUL.
-Pomni immediately going up to Ragatha and thanking her for caring about her following Pomni’s conversation with Kinger. She took his advice to heart.
-I hope Pomni visits Kinger while in his fort so we get more lucid Kinger and Pomni scenes. Maybe he will remember the time they spent in Hell and the conversation they had.
Once again, the writing in the episode floored me. I’m so happy we got so much Kinger development. He was my favorite character to start with, and now he’s my favorite for entirely different reasons. I’m so excited that the show is now on Netflix, and I can’t wait for the next episode. Sorry this was so long, as I’m sure you can tell from my blog, I like to yap.

Breathe Me IV
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
Warnings: referenced captivity, referenced torture, referenced physical violence, unconsciousness, broken bones, hospital, breathing tube, intubation, hurt/comfort, hurt/aftermath, hurt/recovery
Team Leader wasn't sure when awareness returned to them. They were just surprised that awareness returned at all. First it was sounds. The soft hushed voices around them. The quiet, but regular beep of a monitor. And the whirring and whooshing of something else.
They weren't in any pain. They were grateful for that. They couldn't feel their body much at all. Perhaps that was a blessing.
As the fog retreated, Team Leader became more and more aware of the voices of their team. And they became more and more aware of their body.
Still, they felt no pain. But they could feel a weight in their chest. Something passed between their lips. The pushing of air in and out of their lungs. What had happened?
They blinked awake. "They're coming around," Teammate Three's excited voice came from Team Leader's right side.
"Hey, Team Leader," Teammate Two said with a smile. Their eyes were strained and red. What had happened?
Team Leader tried to move, but their body was impossibly heavy. Nothing cooperated. What had happened to them?
"You're in a hospital, Team Leader. You're on a ventilator. Just until your lungs heal from the damage your ribs did." Teammate One's fingers brushed Team Leader's hand.
Team Leader dimly registered the touch, but focused more on trying to process Teammate One's words. Ventilator. Hospital. They were in a hospital. Their team had escaped successfully.
"Whumper can't hurt you. Whumper can't hurt anyone anymore, Team Leader."
Team Leader blinked. Their team had been successful. Their team had gotten them to help.
"We're sorry it took us so long to get you out of there. We," Teammate Three's voice broke, "we thought we were too late."
Team Leader blinked their gratitude. They weren't too late. The team had saved them. They were ok. They were all ok. That was all that mattered.
"You're going to be here a while. But don't worry, we'll all keep you company. You'll never be alone, Team Leader."
Team Leader blinked again. The next time they opened their eyes, Teammate Two was sitting with them but the other two were gone. "It's ok, Team Leader. I'm here. You're ok."
Team Leader didn't realize they had fallen asleep. But they recognized the familiar tug of darkness as they felt the urge to blink again. Maybe it was ok to sleep a little longer. Maybe it was ok to rest. Their team was here. They were safe. That was all that mattered. Team Leader let themself sink into unconsciousness once more knowing that one, if not all, of their team would be there when they next woke. And that was a beautiful thing.

Perception- 141 x M!Reader
Based on a request
M!Reader, angst, mentions of blood,
The Gulag was the government agency in charge of the Soviet network of forced labour camps
You are a well known member of Task Force 141. Although on field you are known for being the violent and viscous way you fight enemy soldiers, many on base don't really mind calling you names. In a way, you have become the freak of base. Ghost himself fears you at times, mainly because he has see you kill men with your bare hands and act as if it was nothing. He has seen the blood of the enemy dripping from your body and how you act as if it was normal. The team has so much respect for you though, they understand you are there for the mission, that you'd kill if it means to reach the goal.
Nothing really stands in your way when it comes to combat. But before you had become the man you are known as today, you were normal. A man of honour, never wanting to hurt anybody, no matter the circumstances.
----
What changed you, was 12 years ago, you were 2 years into your service when in a mission you were captured. Although the Soviet Union had fallen, Russia still held prisoners in infamous Gulag. You and a few of the other men who were also captured were tortured. Day and night was a living hell. The conditions were always horrible, men dying ever other hour due top weather and physical strength.
One night, you and three other men tried to escape, but because of a guard dog, you all failed. You fought back though, kicking, scratching and punching the guards. When one of the men saw you fight, he knew where they'd send you to next.
"глупый гребаный человек, думает, что может убежать от нас." a soldier spoke, some laughed as the other beat you senseless. They had broken your old self to the point that you just didn't care how you survived. For three hours straight every soldier that wanted to, would go and kick you, punch or even throw rocks at you.
Sometimes at night when you feel your most vulnerable, you feel for the cigar burns they left around your body. At times, you look in the mirror when you are shirtless, the deep scars that were scattered all over your body. Each touch took you back to the three years you were held in.
The winters were unbearable, at times, some of the men that would sustain injuries would die or have body parts be amputated. Others also died from hyperthermia, and somehow you survived the easy deaths.
On the night they sent you to a new part of the camp, they made sure to tattoo a symbol on your chest. A large skull a sword that pierced the top of it. All the prisoners were in cages, it ranged from the smallest of men to the biggest of all. You were well in your early 20's, so your shape was not so bad, even after all the days you spent without eating.
Once they clothed you properly, they threw you and a few other men into the fighting area/stage. Rich people watched from the stands as you all looked at them, you were all new. No one knew what the hell you were thrown in for.
Until you spotted the tools for fighting. And eerie sound came from speakers, the crowd clapped and cheered as soon as the prisoners started to fight each other. You, with some luck held a small dagger, a man much smaller than you sprinted to you, a sword on his hand.
If this was the way of getting out might as well fucking fight, you thought. You quickly dodged the man and soon stood behind him, you slashed his throat and took the sword from him. For hours on end, the smallest and even biggest of men fell to their demise. Blood was soaking the floor beneath you. Only 10 men survived from 50. You being lucky number 3.
And for many nights the routine was the same. Get beaten to sleep, trapped into a cage and wake up early, eat little to nothing and by sundown fight for your life.
In your time of fighting, you learned a few tricks, go for both weak and big. You did things you aren't proud to ever admit. You killed more men than any of the task force ever dared to do.
One night as you slept another prisoner escaped his cage, you woke up to being held by a knife at your throat.
"ты убил моего гребаного брата" the man spoke. (Translation: you killed my fucking brother)
"этот слабый ублюдок на это наткнулся" you answered coldly. (Translation: this weak bastard stumbled upon it)
"Я убью тебя" (Translation: I'll kill you)
"Нет, если я убью тебя первым" and thats when you grabbed the knife from him, stabbing him in the eye and then his throat. Before the guards came, you threw the night far from your cage and pretended to sleep. (Translation: Not if I kill you first)
----
You still have nightmares about it, but they aren't ever too bad. This mission that you were on though was a hard one. You and the rest of your team were captured. Price took the situation under control, trying to make negotiations with the enemy. In your years since being freed from the gulag, you hadn't spoke Russian or even heard it until tonight.
"Говорю тебе, сегодня вечером мы договоримся об этом, а завтра они проснутся мертвыми." the soldier said from the other room. (Translation: I'm telling you, we'll settle this tonight, and tomorrow they'll wake up dead.)
Your blood ran cold. Your breathing started to get out of control, you looked around the room, none of the other men knew what they had said. Gaz was the one who noticed your shift in behaviour, "Mate, whats wrong?" he whispered which caused all the other to look at you.
"I won't die, not by fucking Russians." your hands slowly shaking, you tried to steady your breathing, and thats when you realised you were back in a cage. You knew you were trapped, but it was as if you were young again, fighting every night for a spot to live.
"What does that mean?" Soap asked.
"Nothin'" you answered. You have to escape, you can't live like that anymore. You looked around the room and saw a poster, the same kind that was at every fight. You started to feel dizzy, and thats when Ghost noticed it, you were having a panic attack.
"Price, we have to get him out, now."
One look at Price understood why, Ghost shifted closer to you, he positioned himself in a way that would help him rub your back.
"s'alright mate, I won't let that shit happen twice." Ghost knew about what happened to you years ago, he accidentally found the files Laswell and you worked hard to bury. But not once did he push to know more, at times when you felt comfortable, you would open up, and he'd listen to the stories of those days.
But you couldn't listen, you didn't really understand the words that came out of his mouth when he tried to reassure you. Your hands digging at your skin, trying to feel your skin brought some good.
"Gaz, you untie me, and I'll untie you." Price ordered, soon the two men were up. They untied Soap, who untied Ghost. And he knew you best, so he opted to untie you once the Russians were taken down.
And once your eyes met Price, Ghost and Gaz untied you, Soap holding close as they all comforted you. Your breathing was starting to go back to normal. But still, the memories and the horror that place brought you were no fun.
The constant nights where you wished to just end your life, that maybe I'd be best if you die by your own hands and not by someone else's, especially not in front of the all the wealthy people who would watch the fight as if it was a sport.
The memories will forever stick to you and the regret you carry is who makes you the soldier you are today.
-----
A/N: I wanted this to be longer, but my ideas ran out, sorry
REQUESTS ARE OPEN

Regarding Alastor's Hallway Scene in Episode 5 of "Hazbin Hotel"
Good day, folks! As sweet Mimzy said, "...pour a few fingers of rye and he turns into a kitten" so let's do that. Let me set up my Redemption, and let's get into this.
*Sip, sip*
Now, this is quite an interesting thing; the phenomenon of the reactions I have been seeing particularly regarding Alastor in episode 5 of Hazbin Hotel has been ... curiouser and curiouser.
*Sip, sip*
The big question that I think we should be asking after this episode is who Alastor is leashed to---but there seems to be something else on people's minds and that is the interaction Alastor had with Husk in the hallway of the hotel. I mean, every great character needs an epic hallway scene. For Star Wars it was Vader and Luke. For Hazbin, it is Alastor. Let's explore this.
*Sip, sip*
As a society, feasting on entertainment, whether it be through books or films or a series, fans often say that they enjoy the "villain" or "morally grey" character as opposed to those who are set on their compass of goodness. I find this to be a lie that we often tell ourselves and believe completely.
Sure, we find them more entertaining and thus we favor them, but then we try to find excuses for their behavior, make it a despicable act that is done for righteous reasons. Or because we desire to see someone who is tremendously struggling or has a rather horrid reputation overcome this and prove to be a fantastic character underneath all the layers of darkness. We don't like them because they are bad. We may pity them for they often have the most tragic backstories, or we see the potential of their goodness. But we like them because we believe that everyone in their universe has the wrong perspective of their wickedness while we, outsiders looking in, see the potential of their heroics. What they can do despite everything.
That is not liking a character because they are the villain. That is liking a character because of why they are the villain and how they can overcome it.
A few examples:
Rhysand dressing Feyre up like a whore and tattooing her without her consent: well, he was doing that to protect her and help her.
Darth Vader: Mass murderer and second in command of an empire built on absolute control; but he fulfilled the prophecy of the Chosen One and had originally fallen because he wanted to save the love of his life and his unborn children.
Loki: Yeah, he slaughtered 80 people in 2 days, attacked NYC with an alien army killing hundreds if not thousands in the process, and committed genocide prior to that, BUT that's because he was severely broken and now he sits all alone at the end of time, saving an infinite amount of people.
Granted, I love 2/3 of those characters because of the reasons provided. But also because in their prime they were WICKED!
*Sip, sip*
Now let's look at Alastor.
Alastor, the Radio Demon, and one of the most feared overlords of Hell ... threatened one of the souls he owns. And now, I see people comparing him to Val or saying they hated him at that moment or now have a poor taste for him in their mouths. But ... this is exactly what you asked for from him.
*Sip, sip*
Val, who ACTIVELY tortures Angel Dust, is being used as the comparison for Alastor because he THREATENED and scared Husk after Husk stepped over the line.
*Sip, sip*
Alastor, when alive, was a serial killer. Alastor in Hell captured overlords, tortured them, broadcasted the torture throughout Hell, and became one of the most feared overlords.
He didn't do that by being "nice" or "charming." He did that by being vile and not for a greater good. He did it because, as far as we know, he wanted power. And, damn, he got it.
Demons KNOW to be afraid of Alastor. Granted, his reputation may have faltered because he has been away for 7 years but before his departure and even upon his return, for the most part, demons avoid Alastor as though he were death incarnate.
*Sip, sip*
Now, let's examine him in episode 5. Only the scene that is getting the most traction; I'll talk about Alastor and Lucifer in another post. But let's look at this scene:
Alastor and Husk in the hallway.
*Sip, sip*
Let me put some quotes here real quick:
From the Pilot:
Husk to Alastor: "Don't you [Alastor, the owner of my soul] 'Husker' me, you son of a bitch!"
Husk to Alastor: "Are you [Alastor, the owner of my soul] shitting me?"
Husk to Alastor: "You [Alastor, owner of my soul whom I have just shoved off of me] think it must be some big fucking riot just to pull me out of nowhere? You think I'm some kind of fucking clown? [even though I am contractually obligated to obey your summons]"
Husk to Alastor: "I [the one contracted to serve you and obey your commands] ain't doing no fucking charity job [even though you told me by your order that I have to]."
Alastor to Husk: "Don't worry my friend [you, who sold your soul to me so that you could keep your power because you almost gambled it all away], I can make this more welcoming [providing you with something that you enjoy even though you are contractually obligated to obey my commands without payment/reward], if you wish."
From episode 5:
Alastor to Husk: "It's nothing I can't handle, don't worry, Husker. [Proceeds to walk away, leaving the conversation] Who in their right mind would cross me? [Continues to walk away, posing the question as rhetorical and not requiring an answer]."
Husk to Alastor: "... You've been gone a while. And it's not like anybody knows why---"
Alastor to Husk: "They don't need to know. [And it does not need to be discussed further, so leave it alone.] And don't you worry your fuzzy head about it. [Drop it. Drop it now. Don't pick it up]"
Husk to Alastor: "You may own my soul, but I ain't your fucking pet!"
[Personally, I think Val would have instantly backhanded AD for that alone.]
Alastor to Husk: "Hmhm. But you are [So stop talking, just let it go, I'm letting a lot slide here]."
Husk to Alastor [the owner of his soul, who has slaughtered overlords of Hell]: "Big talk for someone who is also on a leash."
Alastor to Husk: "Aha. What did you say? [Now you have tested my patience too much!]"
*Sip, sip*
In the pilot, Husk openly and without fear insults and cusses at Alastor. And what does Alastor, the owner of his soul, do? He lets it slide.
In the one scene between them in the hallway, Alastor essentially still does nothing even though it is evident that Husk struck a nerve. At least twice over in this scene alone, Alastor gives subtle hints to Husk that it is best he just stops. And it is not like he even dismisses Husk's worries about Mimzy or even his absence. It's more along the lines of, "Oh, I know she is in trouble and came here for me to clean up her mess, but I am a bit occupied at the moment dealing with the actual King of Hell, so I'll get to it when I get to it. Just keep her busy for now." And in regards to his absence, he makes it abundantly clear that Husk is better off just not mentioning anything about it. He cuts Husk off, and essentially says, "Look, just keep quiet about it. It's no one's business but mine and I'm fine, I can handle it, so let's just leave it alone."
All the talk people say of Alastor having a big ego, oh undoubtedly, but it makes sense why Husk is in pride in this one scene alone. Alastor tells him "let it go," and moves to walk away from the conversation.
But Husk pushes. And pushes. And on that final shove, I think Husk even knows before Alastor got mad that he went TOO far.
*Sip, sip*
And Alastor still, for the most part, does nothing.
He reminds Husker that he owns his soul, pulls on the chain just to knock Husker off-kilter, and then, rather demonically, tells Husk to not EVER mention the fact that he is leashed again. Honestly, with what Alastor COULD do to Husk ... that was letting him off SUPER easy. Like, Husk should be kissing his feet that that threat was the only punishment he received for that comment.
Val? Forget it. AD would probably be filming for 3 days straight. Alastor doesn't even touch Husk.
This move is also a sense of security for Alastor, I think. Husk probably thought this was just another comment that would result in Alastor just ignoring it. But it takes Alastor by surprise and destroys his comfort. He loses himself in a fit of fury and pulls on Husk's leash to remind both Husk and himself, "Yeah, I might be leashed but I still own YOUR soul, Husk! So do not test me!"
*sip, sip*
So, yeah, Husk gets scared, as he should. Alastor is terrifying.
Should this lessen our opinion of Alastor as it seems to have done with so many fans?
No. Absolutely not. If anything, this scene provides balance to that paradox I supplied earlier; how we like the evil characters because of the good they could do but we should also like them because they are evil and should be expected to do evil things.
Alastor IS evil. He owns Husk's soul.
And yet, this evil overlord allows Husk to get away with soooo much. And when Husk oversteps, as he absolutely did, to not even be smacked by Alastor speaks volumes of Alastor's opinion of Husk.
*Sip, sip*
Here is my speculation:
Husk obviously knows more about Alastor than most. But Alastor owns hundreds if not thousands of souls. Husk is someone he calls on often, obviously. Husk knows Alastor is leashed. Faustisse, a former employee of Spindle Horse, and one of the original teammates beside Viv for the Hazbin project said that Alastor regards Husk as one of his closest friends. Perhaps not friend, but maybe one of his closest confidants. Why else would Husk know that Alastor is leashed? Granted, we cannot tell from the dialogue if Husk knows where Alastor was for 7 years or even if he knows who Alastor is leashed to. To some extent, though, Alastor must trust Husk.
In this scene, Husk violates that trust. He deserved to be threatened, reminded, and terrified. I adore Husk. He is one of my favorite characters and when I saw the hallway scene, I thought Husk deserved way worse than what he got.
And Alastor still takes what Husk had to say about Mimzy into consideration. He still tells Mimzy, a friend he has had since he was alive, that she needs to leave.
*sip, sip*
Yes, Alastor is evil. And it is soooooo good to see him BE evil. And not for a good cause but just because someone got under his skin. He owns Husk and he lets Husk off very easy. So to see him lose his temper and not even physically hurt Husk allows the nugget of possible, minuscule glimmer of somewhat kindness to linger.
I loved the hallway scene. It did a fantastic job of showing us what Alastor COULD be if he really wanted to, why you shouldn't mess with him, and how he elicits fear.
Val lords over his souls through physical abuse. Alastor does it mentally when called for. They are two totally different overlords with really no comparison to be made between them save for this: they are both evil.
*Sip, sip*
Alastor ate in episode 5 and left no crumbs. He remains, quite possibly, the most interesting character in the show. I cannot wait to discover more of him and watch him be absolutely wicked towards others.
Cheers to you, Radio Demon. If I were in Hell and had to be leashed to anyone, I would want to be leashed to you.
*Sip, sip*

ah I'm so excited you're open!!! thank you for the ridiculous amount of work you all do 🙏ok, this might be too specific but any fics with an alternate take on Andrew and Neil's post-trk reunion? Andrew gets out of easthaven early, Neil leaves the Nest later, AU's, etc.? i think it's a really interesting point in their dynamic, and I'm a sucker for sober Andrew realizing someone was watching his back for once
Feeling a bit like a Bernie Sanders’ meme – ‘I am once again asking myself why I spent so much time on an ask,’ 😅 but it's because this is such an iconic and beloved scene for our fandom.

One thing didn’t seem to have changed since getting off the drugs. One thing almost seemed to have gotten worse. ”The next time someone comes for you, stand down and let me deal with it. Do you understand?” “If it means losing you, then no.” --- 5 times Andrew realized this something he had for Neil was, well, treacherous + 1 time he admitted (at least to himself) that he liked it

Andrew’s first thought of Neil Josten was ‘fake’. He was a boy who was clearly lying, clearly pretending to be something he wasn’t; or at least, something he didn’t want to be. Andrew’s next thought of Neil Josten was ‘dangerous’. He was too attractive for Andrew to ignore, whilst single-handedly being the biggest flight risk he’d ever met. Neil looked for exits everywhere he went, and Andrew hated him for it.

Plausibility of Different Toxic Workplace Yuri in the Inquisitorius: a Very Serious Report
there are seven known female members of the Inquisitorius across star wars canon, not counting the unnamed inquisitor mentioned in Ghosts of Dathomir, and the unidentified inquisitors of unknown gender mentioned in Savage Spirits and Crimson Climb. they are summed up in a previous post, and include:
the Second Sister (Trilla Suduri)
the Third Sister (Reva Sevander)
the Fourth Sister (Lyn Rakish)
the Seventh Sister
the Ninth Sister (Masana Tide)
the Thirteenth Sister (Iskat Akaris)
and Barriss Offee, for a limited time frame.
that gives us 21 potential pairings. i have examined them all based on their time in the organization, the likelihood of having met before joining, their appearances together and their personalities. let's take a look.
2 x 3
Second and Third Sisters have a somewhat similar personality and role in their main media. they have never interacted to our knowledge. Trilla dies just five years into her tenure, while Reva joins at an unknown date after the organization's founding. she would be 17 at the time of Trilla's death, and may not have even been a member at that point. they may well have met before Order 66, as Trilla's master was a Seeker and they both worked with younglings (and were captured while trying to protect a group from clone troopers), but obviously no relationship happened there.
PROBABILITY: LOW for timeline reasons
TOXICITY: EXTREMELY HIGH. what if you were a teenager full of rage and i was reminded both of myself just a few years ago and of the children i failed to rescue every time i looked at you 😳
2 x 4
Second and Fourth Sisters were concurrent members for around five years, and may have known each other or been peers before (i don't quite believe they were, as Lyn's dynamic with Barriss Offee seems to go against that). we have never seen them interact but there is no reason to believe they haven't, as they were present in the headquarters at the same time for at least a while; inquisitors are often sent on missions in pairs or teams, and there aren't that many of them.
PROBABILITY AND TOXICITY: MODERATE. Lyn was very much not over Barriss leaving her for basically the whole time these two knew each other. Trilla the inquisitor is not one for socializing but who's to say she never needed to blow off some steam.
2 x 7
Second and Seventh Sister were both inquisitors for the first five years of the organization's existence, and both were likely broken by torture. we've seen them together once, standing around in disinterest while their colleagues toast with shitty local alcohol, shortly before Trilla's death. they may well have met before becoming inquisitors but both are keen to forget their pasts.
PROBABILITY AND TOXICITY: MODERATE. neither is particularly sociable, and Seventh especially is difficult to get along with. they have a lot in common but not the good parts, is what i'm saying.
2 x 9
Second and Ninth Sister were concurrently members for five years, and were sent together on a mission to Bracca in Jedi: Fallen Order. while they get separated (forever) seeing it through, it isn't the only time we've seen them cooperating. they were both broken by torture and have quite a bit in common, though they picked different coping strategies. they almost certainly didn't know each other before Order 66 (Cere, Trilla's master, didn't know Masana).
PROBABILITY: MODERATE to HIGH. by which i mean that we've seen them comfortably work together in canon, which automatically puts them to the top of amicable inquisitor relationships. Trilla is very closed off, but Masana might have more success getting her to open up than most.
TOXICITY: MODERATE. neither is dealing with their extreme trauma in a particularly healthy way so putting them together is. hmmm.
2 x 13
we know Trilla and Iskat have interacted at Inquisitorius HQ, and they die in quick succession five years after joining. we have Iskat's POV attesting they hadn't met before Order 66, and that she was never in anything resembling a relationship. new recruit Iskat is desperate for friends but is put off by Trilla's hostility during training, and gets a boyfriend relatively soon after, whom she keeps until they die.
PROBABILITY: LOW. Iskat is not successful trying to get close to Trilla in canon and gets a long-term inquisitor boyfriend instead.
TOXICITY: HIGH. Iskat was famously a voluntary recruit, while Trilla had to be dragged in kicking and screaming, broken by torture and betrayal. she makes it clear she wants nothing to do with Iskat, or anyone for that matter. timeline-wise any relationship Iskat could have with her would involve a lot of jealousy and borderline cheating on Tualon.
2 x Barriss
Barriss spends a short time with the Inquisitorius, seemingly in a different facility entirely from their HQ. it is possible Trilla is currently there getting tortured but that isn't exactly conductive to a relationship. Barriss doesn't appear to meet any inquisitors apart from those shown in Tales of the Empire (the Grand Inquisitor, Lyn, guy killed later by Ahsoka, other guy killed later by Ahsoka) before deserting. they might have met back as Jedi but nothing suggests that.
PROBABILITY AND TOXICITY: LOW. there is no real space for them to interact in canon.
3 x 4
we don't know how much Third and Fourth Sister's time with the Inquisitorius overlaps, but we have seen them working together. Reva has a lot of friction with Fifth Brother and the Grand Inquisitor in those scenes, but is chill with Fourth Sister. it has been almost ten years since Barriss left by that point, shortly before Reva leaves, and a couple years before Lyn follows them both.
PROBABILITY: MODERATE. Reva is extremely focused on her mission but then again, there is downtime during transportation and such. Lyn is there, much more approachable than others present, and pining for Barris.
TOXICITY: MODERATE to HIGH. Reva goes from the lowest-status coworker to Lyn's boss to presumed dead traitor over a couple days, which is also the only period we can be sure they spent together.
3 x 7
we have no idea whether these two ever interacted. they don't have that much in common compared to some other pairings but i don't see anything making it impossible for them to hatefuck at some point 🤷♀️
PROBABILITY AND TOXICITY: MODERATE.
3 x 9
we don't know when Reva joined up exactly, but they both left the Inquisitorius around the same time (well, Reva left. Masana got decapitated). their missions had some small overlap so it isn't out of the question that they would have cooperated off-screen. i think Reva would have reminded Masana of Trilla, who she used to work with quite well. they both have complex relationships to Darth Vader (Reva wants to murder him to death for killing her family, while Masana was mutilated by him several times over and copes via humor).
PROBABILITY: MODERATE. you can't tell me Masana wouldn't be up for it, while Reva seems much more likely to fool around with someone who also lost so much to Vader.
TOXICITY: MODERATE because inquisitor Reva absolutely cannot have a healthy relationship but also there isn't much about Masana making it worse.
3 x 13
similar to Trilla, it's doubtful Reva ever set foot in the Inquisitorius before Iskat's death. if she did, she would have been 17 at most when Iskat dies, and Iskat would have spent the entire time having her evil romance with Tualon. Iskat also joined the organization willingly and always felt Order 66 was completely justified, so i can't imagine Reva would be chill with her.
PROBABILITY: LOW for both timeline and general compatibility reasons.
TOXICITY: EXTREMELY HIGH. Iskat juggling her possessive broken jedi boyfriend who halfheartedly tried to kill her and this teen who very much wants to end her life. someone would die and it wouldn't take long.
3 x Barriss
one of only two pairings on the list i'm practically completely positive couldn't have met while inquisitors. they both deserted though, so maybe they'll meet up eventually...?
4 x 7
they served the Inquisitorius concurrently for around 16 years but we never saw them interacting, or heard of them working together. they don't have much in common personality-wise, other than being capable and dedicated enough to keep their jobs (and lives) that long in this rather intense work environment. however, while Seventh is quick to piss off her colleagues, Lyn is generally level-headed and willing to work with others. maybe opposites attract?
PROBABILITY: MODERATE. their other coworkers drop like flies and their dating pool is pretty limited otherwise due to their careers. also they're both green-yellow?
TOXICITY: MODERATE. you can't have a non-toxic relationship involving Seventh tbh
4 x 9
ten years working together. we haven't seen any notable interactions between them but i don't see why they couldn't have become work buddies at some point, since they're the more pleasant to work with inquisitors around. similar to Reva and Masana, their missions around 10 years post-Order 66 overlap a bit, so they might have cooperated.
PROBABILITY: MODERATE. neither of them is seething with hatred 24/7 or completely isolating themselves, and their other colleagues keep leaving or dying. what's a girl to do but fuck that huge alien gal?
TOXICITY: LOW. i don't really see why they couldn't have a fling. being colleagues is like the most questionable thing they have going on.
4 x 13
Iskat tried to become friends with Lyn, got brushed off, and soon afterwards got reunited with Tualon, who became her hobby until they died 5 years later. they decidedly didn't know each other back before Order 66. i suppose they have a bit in common in being willing recruits, and that Lyn might become more receptive to Iskat wanting companionship once she gets over Barriss (or the wound becomes less fresh, i guess).
PROBABILITY: LOW. they missed their shot.
TOXICITY: MODERATE because of Tualon's existence, Lyn pining over Barriss, plus their first impressions not being great.
4 x Barriss
they knew each other before Order 66, and Barriss spent most of her inquisitor time under Lyn's wing in some way. Lyn clearly feels strongly about Barriss leaving her, for quite some time. there isn't much space for yuri shenanigans before Barriss leaves but plenty after their reunion.
PROBABILITY: PRETTY LOW if we're concerned only with true workplace yuri, since Barriss was still very much getting her bearings and then left right away. you can't prove it didn't happen though.
TOXICITY: HIGH. your heartbroken almost-ex gets you out of jail after a government coup, recruits you into a weird culty organization, becomes your boss, tries to get you to kill civilians, you throw her of a cliff. regardless where we imagine the kissing happened it's pretty weird.
7 x 9
they have 10 years of working for the Inquisitorius, and have been on missions together before. also one of those missions involved going undercover at a casino and gambling on company time. Seventh wore a dress. that's practically a date innit
PROBABILITY: HIGH. both are snarky gals coping with their extreme trauma through having irreverent fun on the job. what's more fun than putting your mouthy coworker in her place?
TOXICITY: MODERATE mostly because Seventh is involved.
7 x 13
they've been thoroughly introduced to each other shortly after Iskat's recruitment and it didn't go well for either one. Iskat keeps well clear of Seventh afterwards for both life preservation purposes and general ease of life. she also has a thrilling pseudo-romance with her somewhat murdery boyfriend Tualon, so i don't imagine she's likely to seek out Seventh for thrills.
PROBABILITY: LOW. they hate each other but not in a sexy way, and both have better outlets.
TOXICITY: EXTREMELY HIGH. murder murder murder.
7 x Barriss
even at her most morally questionable i don't think Barriss would ever be drawn to Seventh Sister. they well may have met as Jedi, since it is suggested Mirialans stick together at least somewhat during the prequel era. it is very doubtful they met while Barriss was with the Inquisitorius, however.
PROBABILITY: LOW for timeline and compatibility reasons.
TOXICITY: HIGH. what if you found the timid healer-turned-terrorst girl in a hallway, all alone and wide-eyed in her new evil uniform, and decided to show her the wonders of the dark side...
9 x 13
they know each other for five years, and Masana essentially becomes Iskat's closest companion showing her the ropes in the Inquisitorius, until she reunites with Tualon. they talk pretty freely and Iskat considers Masana a "lively sparring partner". they didn't know each other before being recruited. Iskat had done so voluntarily, Masana not so much but has accepted her role by the time they meet.
PROBABILITY AND TOXICITY: MODERATE. i'd envision it as part of Iskat's self-realization arc. there is a parallel between Masana and Tualon's recruitment, and maybe Masana could do as him and make the most of it. that doesn't mean she'd forget, thoug.
9 x Barriss
there is very little probability they ever met, as inquisitors or otherwise. i think Barriss would find Masana intimidating at best, and Masana "it would be fun to bring you in, watch you crack like the rest of us" Tide would probably have thoughts about Barriss' recruitment.
PROBABILITY: LOW for timeline and compatibility reasons.
TOXICITY: HIGH. let Masana show this pipsqueak just what she signed up for.
13 x Barriss
Barriss is long gone by the time Iskat properly joins the Inquisitorius, and Iskat's story rules out them having a fling either as jedi or afterwards.

I love your atsv writing sm! I was wondering if you could do a miguel and reader fic where the reader gets injured on a mission but tries to hide it and eventually he finds out of course :)
of course love <33 lil angsty & lil fluffy js the way i like it :3
miguel o’hara x injured! spidey! reader
you moaned in pain as your back had a deep gash—you accidentally fell onto your back and while you landed there was a piece of metal lying on the floor. the pain shot all over your body as you bit back a scream of agony. you wondered if you had broken your back but luckily you didn’t. with the strength you had left you slowly got onto your feet as you held a hand on your back for support. sure, you were wobbly and felt nauseated from the impact of you back hitting the floor but gwen and miles needed you to back them up.
you quickly went to help them, and miraculously enough you guys were able to defeat a lowly opponent. you were mad at yourself that you had accidentally fallen…and at what cost when now you guys are going back to nueva york 928 as the mission was successful.
you were in terrible pain as you sweated bullets from burning sensations that ripped across your aching body. you bit you lower lip, even chewing it a bit, to help you distract yourself from the agonizing pain. gwen, miles, and you presented yourself in front of miguel in the control room as you went over the details of the task and how you all were able to take down the villain. miguel nodded at the three of you at the good job that you all did. you notice miguel’s gaze fell upon you as you tried your best to hide the immense pain you were being tortured with. you were leaning a bit forward, and your hairs were sticking to your face—you looked pale.
“gwen and miles, you’re dismissed. you, stay.” miles and gwen left as they waved at you and left towards the exit of the control room as you heard the door close behind him. miguel’s hands were on his hips as he treaded towards you. his towering stature engulfed yours as you craned you neck up at him. miguel took a look at your face and could see you were dying of pain.
“you look sick. are you sure you’re—”
“yes miguel! i’m fine. don’t worry about me.”
you let out a hearty laugh as you desperately tried to swallow but the pain was unbearable. how could you lie to miguel that you were just fine? you weren’t fine and miguel knew that. he knew you were lying but he waited to see if you would give it up and just tell him you were injured. was it a pride thing? no. was it because you didn’t want miguel to worry about? yes. you hated when he had to be the one rescuing you or offering to help you. you always hated when you needed someone’s help because you felt as if it made you weak. you wanted to prove to yourself that you were strong enough to do everything that you could. but, even the most strongest people ask for help.
he sighed as he leaned in closer to your face, “Y/N, i know you’re lying to me—you don’t look so good.” he picks up on subtle changes in your behavior, sensing your discomfort or witnessing moments when you are more guarded than usual. concerned for your well-being, he gently prods and asks if anything is wrong, sensing that you may be hiding something important from him. you kept brushing it off again and again. it annoyed him that you were lying to him and he knew you were hurt. he went behind your back and took a look at blood seeping through your suit.
“my god, Y/N—you’re bleeding..” he immediately picked you up and placed you on a chair as he open the back of your suit. the cold air nipped at your back as you groaned in pain.
“i’m-sorry i just didn’t want you to think i was weak.”
“none sense! you’re the strongest person i know, now relax i got you.”
with a gentle touch, miguel assists you in tending to your injury. he carefully cleans the wound, ensuring that it is free from dirt and debris that could lead to infection. his hands are steady and precise as he handles the necessary medical supplies, his focus solely on aiding your recovery.
as he works, miguel speaks softly, offering words of comfort and reassurance. he understands the pain you're experiencing and does his best to alleviate it with his comforting presence and gentle demeanor. his actions are filled with care and delicate consideration, ensuring that you feel safe and supported throughout the process.
miguel’s dedication and tenderness are palpable as he bandages the wound, skillfully securing it to promote healing. he maintains a close eye on your well-being, checking for any signs of complications and encouraging you to rest, reminding you of the importance of taking time to recover.
soon after he got you all cleaned up…you feel so much better, despite the fact that the pain is there just lessened. miguel sits next to you as he places a hand on top of your shoulder giving it a light squeeze. “please, don’t ever hide something like this from me again. understood?”
“yes—“

You gazed into the mirror at yourself. Mascara was running down your face as you saw Soobin standing behind you, smiling. His bunny smile was more magical than ever. His lilac colored hair shone under the fluorescent lights of the bathroom so perfectly. His hypnotizing brown eyes glistened brighter than the north star. You swallowed hard as more tears escaped your eyes.
‘How can I be crying when the love of my life is right behind me?'
"I love you."
You shut your eyes as his soft voice rang through your ears like your favorite song.
You quickly spun around to reach out to him.
Only to find yourself grasping the air.
'Oh right, I was imagining that.'
Your chest started to burn as you collapsed onto your knees, feeling as if you had been punched in the stomach. You could feel your lips trembling as you sobbed on the bathroom floor. At this point, you lost track of how many times you've fallen onto the floor in tears.
You felt stupid for trying to pretend he was there with you but it seemed to be the only way you could cope. Yet recently, you couldn't tell if it was helping you or making you go even more crazy.
It has been 3 months since you and Soobin broke up but it stung like it was just yesterday. You see him in everything you do and everything around you reminded you of him. You always found yourself taking second glances at almost everyone around you, thinking it's him at first glance. His favorite song seems to play at the most random times. You felt like you were going insane, especially because sometimes it seemed like you could still smell him. At this point, you were convinced that heart break was just another form of torture. But it was worth it when you thought about the last thing he said to you.
"We can't be together, at least not right now."
Those words played over and over again in your head like a broken record. Those words held so much meaning within them that you couldn't let go of. They were the flimsy piece of wood that was just barely holding open the window of hope that Soobin would come back to you. But you knew that would never happen. Your relationship with him had come to a point where it seemed impossible to fix. He was probably just trying to let you down easy with those words. But still, you thought about those words every second of every day.
It was now 1 in the morning and there you were, still lying on the bathroom floor. 'How long am I going to let myself feel like this?' You thought to yourself. Three months had passed and you still find yourself lying on the bathroom floor in tears with alcohol flowing through your veins. You knew you needed to let this go. Let him go. But how?
You glanced over at your phone that was lying right beside you on the floor. You had promised yourself and your friends that you would not contact him. And you've been good about that. But another thought suddenly crossed your mind.
'I need closure.'
Closure.
That was what you needed. And it's what you never got. Soobin left you with the thought of getting back together eventually. And without that closure, there's no sleep, no relief, and no peace. When he left you, it felt like he had taken a piece of you with him. And you needed that piece of you back.
You reached out and grabbed your phone. You unlocked it and opened your contacts. Your heart started to ache as your thumb hovered over his name.
Soobinnie 💗
Yes, you kept it the same. You never changed it. How could you?
You were hesitant to press it, afraid of what he will say or if he will even answer at all. You didn't want to wake him in case he was sleeping but you knew you wouldn't be able to have this courage again.
So you pressed on his name. You've got nothing to lose at this point.
You slowly put your phone up to your ear. Your whole body started to shake as the line rang. A nauseating sensation came over you as the ringing continued. It felt like it was never ending. You figured it was useless, that he was probably asleep or would just ignore your call.
Then suddenly, you heard his voice.
"Hello?"
His voice was low and muffled, as if he had just woken up from a deep sleep. You questioned if he even knew it was you.
"Soobin?" You choked out his name. Your throat burning like you had just taken a shot of strong vodka.
"Y/N?" You felt two tears fall down your face as you heard your name roll off his tongue and through the phone to you. At this point, you were speechless. You really weren't expecting him to answer your call.
So what do you say now? Do you ask him to talk? Do you ask him about his last words to you or if he has re-thought your relationship?
But then you suddenly realized it was your own self who you had to ask a question to. What exactly would give you closure?
"Y/N, are you there?"
Hearing your name again pulled you out of your thoughts. You took a deep breath before speaking to him again.
"Can you come over?"
Those words spilled out of your mouth without a second thought. And the weird thing was, you didn't regret them. You knew it was what you needed. You knew you just needed to talk to him, face to face. You swore you could hear your heart pounding with how quiet it got. Soobin was on the other end, so quiet as he thought your question through.
"Y/N.. I don't think that's a good idea."
He spoke softly. Your stomach started to turn again as you heard those words. But you weren't going to give up.
"Soobin please.. I just need to talk to you."
"We're talking right now."
You were taken back by his sudden response, attitude pronounced in his voice. You knew he just needed to understand that you weren't trying to convince him to come back to you. You just needed to have one more real conversation with him.
And to see his face one more time.
"No I mean face to face. I'm not trying to win you back. I just need to talk to you and get some closure because it feels like I'm going insane."
Silence was heard again for a moment.
"So you want me to come over right now?"
"Yes."
"Okay.. I'll be over in 15 minutes."
.
So there you were, pacing back and forth in your living room. You were growing impatient as you saw that 15 minutes had gone by and Soobin still hadn't showed up. Did he decide not to come over? Did he just want to lead you on? You were stuck in your own brain at this point and you couldn't get out. You were tempted to take another shot of alcohol to calm yourself but you didn't want him to smell it on you. Not that you were expecting to get that close to him. You just wanted to talk.
Do you call him to make sure he was still coming over?
Or would that make you look too desperate?
And suddenly it was like fate. Right as you were about to grab your phone to call Soobin, that's when you heard that familiar knock sequence.
For a brief moment, you felt calm. Hearing him knock the same way he used to made you feel the most normal you've felt in a while. But you knew you couldn't afford to feel like that. Because you knew it was over and tonight was meant for closure and closure only.
But the calmness didn't last long when you realized what was happening. You started to second guess this. Maybe you shouldn't have invited him over. You didn't think about the possibility of falling back in love with him. Not that you ever fell out of love with him.
Soobin suddenly knocked again and you knew you had to quickly compose yourself. You walked over to the door, legs feeling like jello. You took a deep breath as you grasped the door knob. You knew there was no backing out now. It was like ripping off a band aid. You just had to open the door. Don't think about it, just do it.
So you did. You felt the chilly December air hit you as you kept your eyes down, afraid of making eye contact with him.
"Hi."
He spoke, trying to get your attention. Your eyes slowly traveled up his body, noticing he was still in his pajamas. He wore his grey sweatpants which you loved so much with his black v neck and a puffy coat. You swallowed hard as you looked up at him. Your eyes widened and your jaw slightly dropped when you noticed his hair was... black. He no longer had the lilac colored hair that you loved and remembered. But you couldn't deny that he looked even more breath taking than ever.
"Hi.." You managed to spit out. Soobin stood there with a half smile, showing one of his dimples. Memories of you kissing his dimples and telling him how cute they were flashed into your head and this was when you knew that this truly may have been a mistake.
"Can I come in? It's really cold."
"Oh yeah, come in.."
You moved to the side, letting Soobin make his way into your house. You watched him as he took off his shoes and coat. Your heart ached as you saw him put them exactly where he used to. He walked over to the couch and sat down. It was silent at first. You had no idea how to talk to him. You even kind of forgot what you needed to talk to him about. You knew you needed closure but you had no idea what that consisted of.
"So.. what did you want to talk about?" He leaned back into the couch and crossed his arms. He was staring at you with narrow eyes. You could tell he was putting up a front. You could tell he did not want to be here. And you felt bad.
"I-I don't know." you stuttered out.
"So you woke me up at 1am and asked me to come over to talk about nothing?" Annoyance was growing in his voice. You quickly shook your head.
"No I wanted to talk to you.. I'm just having trouble gathering my thoughts."
"You should have gathered them before I got here."
"I'm sorry.." You didn't know what else to say. You fiddled with your fingers as you looked around the room, avoiding all eye contact with Soobin. You could still feel him staring you down. He then let out a deep sigh.
"You said you needed to talk because you needed closure." His voice sounded a bit calmer now. He always knew you were sensitive. So he knew that this wasn't easy for you. You finally made eye contact with him again, seeing his eyes looked softer now. You nodded your head. "So.. what would help you with that?"
You thought about that question for a second, not knowing exactly what would bring you closure. You knew you weren't the best girlfriend to him. You made a lot of mistakes. So you knew you needed to start by apologizing for everything.
"Tell me everything I did wrong." You blurted out. Soobin gave you a confused look.
"Why?"
"I just need to know everything I did wrong.. please."
Soobin let out a deep breath as he looked around the room, trying to think.
"Y/N, it wasn't anything specific that you did wrong. I just felt like you needed more than I could offer."
You were taken back by Soobin's response. Why has he never told you this before?
"Wait what? What do you mean?"
"I know you were depressed and anxious a lot. You would get upset at me for a lot of things, even small things, and I felt helpless. I wanted to help you but I always felt like everything I did and said was wrong. I couldn't do anything right and I just felt like you could find someone better who could make you happy. So if anything, I was the one doing everything wrong."
Your heart broke all over again and you were holding back tears at this point. You stared at Soobin who was staring down at his feet.
"Soobin.. That's not true."
"I've told you before that I haven't felt good enough for you. That I felt like I never did enough for you. We'd be having a good day and then suddenly you would be upset with me about something, and you would never tell me what I did wrong or what was wrong in general. Then I was left wondering what happened. I would replay back every moment of the day trying to figure out if it was something I did or said that made you so upset."
"Soobin that's not it.."
"I just felt like when you would randomly get upset at me for god knows what, all the good things I have done for you and said to you, got canceled out and didn't matter anymore. And it hurt Y/N. It hurt a lot. It destroyed me so much that.. I just couldn't do it anymore."
You sat there silent. You recalled back to when Soobin had mentioned he didn't feel like he was enough for you. When he mentioned that he felt like nothing he could do or say would ever make you happy. And each time, you assured him that it wasn't him making you feel that way. But you also didn't do anything to make him feel or think otherwise.
You knew you weren't a perfect girlfriend, but you didn't know how much of a shitty girlfriend you were until now.
"I'm sorry..." is all you could say. All you could do was admit defeat. You were seeing everything differently now and you realized that you've been victimizing yourself for three months straight when in reality, you were the killer.
"I've tried to tell you this before but.. you never listened." Soobin's voice cracked and a single tear rolled down his face. Seeing Soobin cry was rare. He never liked crying in front of anyone. So seeing him wipe a tear from his cheek was enough to make your heart completely shatter.
You did this to him.
You broke him.
And the worst part was that it was preventable, if you had only listened to him.
"You're right. I-I don't know why I'm realizing all of this now. Here I've been crying every single day for months, getting drunk and pretending you're still with me just to try to cope when you're the one who needed the saving."
You ran your fingers through your hair, frustrated that you ever made him feel that way.
"You've been getting drunk?" Soobin asks.
You looked at him weirdly, why is that the thing he's focusing on?
"Yeah.. Why?"
"Does that mean you have some alcohol I can have? Or did you drink it all already?" The side of his mouth tugged up a bit, forming the slightest half smile. Your eyes started to water even more. You broke this guy and he is still trying to make jokes with you. You slowly nodded and got up to grab him and yourself a soju from the fridge.
You handed him the bottle and sat back down. You slowly opened your drink as you watched him chug half of his in 3 seconds. This confused you as you didn't want him to be stuck at your house for the night, especially since you knew he didn't even want to be here in the first place.
"Woah there, don't you need to drive home?" You asked, ready to take away the bottle.
"Yeah, we'll see."
And there it was again. Him cracking that window of opportunity open just a little bit more. Soobin looked at you once again as he took another chug of the strong drink. You took a chug of yours along with him. Bringing back that drunkenness that had worn off not too long ago. He then continued the conversation.
"So in conclusion to what I had said before, you didn't do anything wrong. I just felt like I wasn't able to give you what you needed especially when it came to your mental health."
You shook your head at him.
"No Soobin, that is what I did wrong. I didn't treat you right. I took my insecurities and my mental health out on you and that wasn't fair to you. I don't know why I didn't realize it sooner and I sure as hell don't know why I didn't listen to you when you tried telling me these things before. Most of the time, I didn't even know what was wrong. I would just randomly get upset and when you would ask me what was wrong.. I wouldn't tell you because I didn't even know myself. I know that's not an excuse, none of this is an excuse. It's just an explanation. I was just as frustrated with myself as you were. I didn't want to be like that. I never wanted to hurt you like I did. But I was being selfish, I know. You didn't deserve any of that and if I could go back and change everything, I would. In a heart beat."
You looked at him as tears flooded out of your eyes. He gazed back at you, knowing how deeply you regretted everything. His heart ached as well, hearing the words that came out of you. You didn't know it yet, but Soobin needed this as much as you did.
You watched Soobin as he wiped more tears from his eyes as well. He rubbed his eyes and took a deep breath before speaking.
"Y/N, this is all I ever wanted, an explanation and a look into your mind. All I ever wanted was for you to open up to me and be vulnerable." Soobin quickly finished off his bottle of soju to try and keep himself from crying more. You took this opportunity to also finish yours. He then got up and went to your fridge, grabbing two more bottles for both of you.
Your heart jumped as he sat back down, sitting down a bit closer to you than before. You got a sudden whiff of his cologne, the same cologne he always used to wear. The same cologne you would smell randomly during the three months you two were apart.
"I'm sorry Soobin, I really am."
"I know." He said sincerely.
"I'm also sorry I woke you up for this, I don't know what I was thinking."
Soobin took another chug of his soju before he scooched a little closer to you. You felt your heart skip once again. He then took ahold of your hand and held it in his lap.
"I'm actually glad you did."
You turned to look at him, surprised to hear him say that.
"Really?"
"Yeah, I'm not gonna lie and say I haven't been going a little crazy as well. I feel like there were a lot of things left unsaid to each other that day and I also needed the.. uh.. closure."
You then remembered exactly why you two were having this conversation. Closure. But during these three months, you always held onto the hope that you two would get back together. But that was when you were stuck in your own narrative. Knowing what you know now, you knew that you had to shut the window for good. But not for your sake, but for Soobin's.
"Well, then I'm glad I did. This whole time, I kept repeating in my mind the last thing you said to me. When you said that we couldn't be together, at least not at that time. I really just needed to know that getting back together wasn't an option because that's what has been driving me crazy and preventing me from moving on."
You felt his grip on your hand loosen and you swore you could see his face slightly sulk.
"Oh, right. I mean, I wasn't just saying that.. I meant it."
You were finally hearing everything you've been wanting to hear for months, yet it didn't bring you the joy you thought it would. You knew deep down that you weren't good for him. Your mental health issues haven't gone away and there was no way you were going to risk putting him through all of that again. But now he was the one who had that longing look in his eyes. You swallowed hard, knowing what you had to do.
"I know, but I really can't risk hurting you like that again. I don't know when I will be able to get the help that I need and I really think it would be best to go our separate ways, for real this time."
You couldn't believe what you were saying and you could see his eyes start to slightly water again. He struggled to make the slightest smile as he nodded, understanding what you were saying. Even if it's not what he wanted to hear.
You kept your eyes on him as he stood up, seeming like he was going to get ready to leave. He stumbled a bit when trying to walk to the door.
"Woah Soobin" You quickly got up and went over to him, trying to keep yourself from stumbling as well. You gently grabbed his arm and guided him back to the couch. "You really shouldn't drive home. We drank a lot and you drank more than me. So if I'm tipsy then I know you're definitely drunk."
He let out a deep breath and nodded, sinking into the couch.
"You're right, I didn't realize how hard the alcohol hit me until I stood up. Can I sleep on the couch?"
You couldn't lie and say that you didn't want to cuddle him one more time. Wake up to him one more time. Just sleep next to him one more time.
"Well if you want, you can sleep in my bed with me. I would like to sleep next to you one more time but don't worry, that's all I want to do."
Soobin looked at you once again and smiled, this time you could tell it was a genuine one.
"I would like that."
And with that, you and Soobin stumbled up to your room. Luckily, you two were both already in your pajamas. You got to your room and closed the door. Soobin looked around your room, noticing all the things that stayed the same and all the things that have changed. He noticed every single empty bottle of liquor in your room that you used to cope. He also noticed the framed picture of the two of you that you kept on your nightstand. It hurt him to know that you'll probably be getting rid of it when he leaves tomorrow.
You noticed him looking at the picture of the two of you on your nightstand. You were about to make a joke about it before you saw the look on his face. So instead, you hopped into bed and gently patted the spot next to you. He climbed into his usual spot and turned off the light next to your bed.
"Goodnight Soobin."
"Goodnight Y/N"
You slowly turned away from him. All you wanted to do was hold him but you didn't want to hurt him even more. You wished that the two of you would work. You wanted nothing more than to have him next to you every single night once more. To be snuggled up in his strong embrace and having his comforting scent surround you as you drift off to a perfect sleep. But you knew you wouldn't be able to treat him the way he deserved. He shouldn't have to wait for you to get better when there is someone out there that you know would treat him good from the start.
You hadn't felt Soobin move since he got into bed, which made you think he passed out. So you continued to stare at the wall, wondering if you had made the right decision. Either way, you couldn't go back now. You knew you had to stick to what you said. You finally closed your eyes, coming to terms with the fact that this was it.
You suddenly felt Soobin shift a little bit next to you. You then instantly felt the warmth of his chest radiate onto your back as he slowly snaked his arm around you. A sense of peace washed over you, as his beautiful scent surrounded you once more. Your breath halted for a second as you felt his heart beat at a quick pace. You let yourself relax into him. It was now obvious to the both of you that the two of you were still wide awake. The tension in the room grew stronger as you felt his hand gently rest on your lower abdomen. A tingling sensation shot through your core. He must have felt the way you shuddered, feeling his cold hand touch the skin where your shirt was conveniently riding up. His breath shuddered against your neck. You knew this wasn't good for either of you but your drunken mind thought otherwise.
You slowly moved your hand down, resting it gently on top of his. This was all Soobin needed to know that you were reciprocating. He knew you well enough to know the ways you react to his advances.
"Y/N.." Soobin breathed out. The sudden exhale on your neck sent shivers down your body, becoming hot as you heard your name escape his lips.
"Hm?" Is all you could get out. You were slightly embarrassed as it came out as more of a moan than anything. He dragged his hand slowly up to your neck, gently moving your hair to the side. His breath grew stronger against the back of your neck. You could feel his lips ever so slightly graze against your soft skin as his hand found its way back down to your abdomen, but this time, even lower.
Then suddenly, Soobin turned you over onto your back as he hovered over you. The room was dark. His face was barely visible as the only source of light was the moon shining perfectly into the room and onto him. You locked eyes with him as he was just centimeters away from you. His lust filled eyes darkened until they were as black as his hair.
"Soobi-"
He then cut you off, suddenly crashing his lips into yours. His kiss was heavy as his body pressed into yours. Your lips melted into his as you felt your hearts beat as one once again. Your hand made its way to the back of his head, tangling your fingers into his luscious hair as you pulled him even closer. Your lips parted slightly, allowing him to slip his tongue inside. Your body was on fire at this point but you pulled the blankets up even more, making you two feel even closer. You knew this was wrong, but that's what made it even more intense.
"I..I want you.. so bad Y/N.." He breathed in between his sloppy but passionate kisses.
"But Soobin.. what about.. what about earlier.."
He slipped his hands under your shirt, slowly feeling up the sides of your body.
"I don't care.. I just want you.. I want all of you.."
His lips left yours to travel down your jaw and neck. He made his way to the sweet spot on your neck that he knew all too well. You felt your hips buck up into him as he took a hold of your skin in between his teeth. You opened your legs more, allowing him to position himself more comfortably between them. He made his way back to your lips, crashing into them once again. Your hands traveled down his body, gripping onto him every time he grinded his hips into yours.
"Show me.. please.." You moaned into his mouth, making him fully thrust against you.
"Fuck.." He deeply groaned out. Hearing you beg underneath him drove him insane.
He quickly reached down and pulled down your pajama bottoms and underwear, still while keeping his lips on yours. You shuffled them all the way off and kicked them to the side. Soobin thrusted against you again, grinding his clothed dick against your bare clit. You moaned out, finally feeling the friction you needed. Your hands made their way to the waist band of his sweatpants and boxers. You forced them down the best you could before he shuffled his off as well.
You grabbed a hold of him, making him let out a small whimper. He then took a hold of both your hands and pinned them above you. He pulled back, staring down at you with dark and lust filled eyes. He didn't want to waste anymore time. The thought of using a condom neglected to cross either your minds. His mouth hung open as he stroked his dick against you before sliding into you. He watched as you knitted your eyebrows together feeling his cock stretch you out so perfectly. You couldn't help but let out a long moan, finally feeling his cock inside of you again. Your pussy clenched around him earning a low groan from him. As his hand kept yours pinned above you, he used his other hand to pull on your hair causing you to keep eye contact with him. He started to slowly thrust in and out of you, observing your every expression.
"Did you miss me Y/N? Hm? Tell me you missed me."
He thrusted harder into you, making it hard for you to form the words he was demanding from you.
"Fuck Soobin.. I missed you.. I missed you so fucking much.."
"Fuck.. I missed you too babygirl.."
Your stomach felt like it flipped upside down when you heard him call you babygirl. He continued to fuck you hard as he let go of your hands, taking his shirt off in a swift motion. You immediately wrapped your arms around his torso, pulling him closer to you. He quickened his pace when he felt your nails dig into the skin on his back. You could feel the pressure building up in your stomach as he thrusted even deeper into you, his lower abdomen hitting your clit so perfectly.
"Tell me baby.. tell me you missed my cock."
With every hard thrust you let out perfect little moans that were music to his ears.
"I missed your cock so much Soobin.."
You then wrapped both of your legs around him, making him fuck you deeper than you thought was possible. You threw your head back as the sound of him fucking you filled up the room. The pressure continued to build up in your stomach causing you to instinctively push him away. Soobin quickly took a hold of both your hands again, restraining them above you once more. His other arm wrapped around your waist as he held you in place, pounding into you even harder.
"I thought you missed my cock huh? Why are you running from it, hm?"
You squeezed your eyes shut, tears rolling down your cheeks from the intense pressure. Sex with Soobin was always great, but the intensity of his thrusts now was nothing like you've experienced before.
You opened your eyes again to meet his. The strands of his hair were drenched in sweat. He stared back down at you, mouth hung open as he watched the way you were reacting to his cock practically destroying you. You gazed into his eyes, savoring this moment. Savoring the feeling of him inside and all around you. He gazed back down at you as he did the same. As you were looking at him, you could have sworn you saw his eyes start to water as well. His grip on your hands above you loosened as his hard thrusts became more sloppy. You slipped out of his grasp and held his face with both your hands.
Soobin suddenly lowered himself, nuzzling his face into the crook of your neck. Wrapping his strong arms around your body, he slowed his thrusts just enough to regain control of himself. He couldn't hold you close enough.
"I don't want to let you go again" He breathed into your ear, "I'm not letting you go again Y/N."
"but Soob-"
Before you could finish your sentence, Soobin's hand pressed against your stomach, feeling the way his cock moved inside you.
"No buts.. You feel this? You feel my cock ramming into you? This means your mine." The pressure intensified and you were on the verge of exploding. His breathing became heavier as he was watching you. Your moans turned into whines as you squirmed underneath him. "Baby, I know those whines. Cum for me, cum on my cock babygirl."
You moaned loudly, curse words flooding out of your mouth as the pressure in your core finally released. A euphoric feeling enveloping you as you started to see colors. The sound of Soobin's thrusts became wetter as you came around him.
"That's it baby, let it out."
He continued to ram into you, overstimulating you until you were a puddle underneath him.
"Stop please.. fuck Soobin I can't-"
"Tell me baby, who's gonna fuck you like me?" You turned your head to the side as you tried to crawl away again. Soobin grabbed your face by your chin, turning you back to him, forcing you to look him dead in the eyes.
"I asked you a question, who's gonna fuck you like me?"
"No one.." You breathed out. Soobin leaned down to kiss you once more, becoming sloppier by the second.
"Ahh.. Fuck I'm gonna cum Y/N.."
You didn't know what came over you to wrap your legs around his waist, pulling him even closer to you. His thrusts became messier as he got closer to his orgasm.
"Soobin.. cum inside me.. please" You begged him, not knowing what made you demand that.
Soobin looked down at you, giving you a confused look as he processed what you said. But it was those words that caused him to come undone, and by then it was too late to try to pullout. You moaned as you suddenly felt a warm sensation inside of you. You watched as Soobin squeezed his eyes shut, bucking his hips into you as he rode out his high. He let out low groans as his thrusts came to a slow stop.
You two laid there in that same position for a minute, catching your breath and savoring the moment. Oh how you didn't want this moment to end. Soobin gently cupped your face and wiped away your tears with his thumbs. You stared back up at him, his eyes now glistening with his own tears. He leaned down, gently kissing your forehead, cheek, chin and then lips.
"Are you okay?" Soobin gently whispered. You nodded your head.
"Yeah.. Are you?"
He nodded his head as well.
"I am."
It felt as if you were staring into each other's eyes forever. You knew this was wrong, but neither of you could deny the fact that you two still had a strong connection, a connection that was going to be hard to break.
"So.. What are we gonna do now?" You broke the silence. The time you were dreading had come.
"Y/n... I want to be with you."
Your heart skipped a beat hearing him. You had longed for him for so long and here he is on top of you, telling you that he wants to be with you.
"But Soobin.. We were suppose to get closure tonight.. This is wrong."
"Then I don't want to be right." Soobin took your hand and held it against his chest. You could feel his heart beating fast. "This heart is yours. I want to try this again. I was listening to what you went through without me and Y/N.. I went through the same things. Let's communicate more this time and we can both get the help we need. I don't want to live another day without you."
At this point tears were pouring out yours and Soobin's eyes. It was like time had stopped and you two were the only ones left on earth. You could feel the warmth emitting from each other's souls and your heart beats were erratic. This is all you ever wanted. On the surface it felt wrong, but deep down, you've never felt more comfortable, more unerring, more raw.
You slowly nodded your head, seeing his eyes light up.
"Yes.. Let's try again."
Soobin hugged you tight. His embrace was warm and passionate and it was right then you knew, he was your person. He was your home. And you were willing to put in the work to make this right.
"I love you Y/N"
"I love you too Soobin"

I think the most insufferable part of the “Steve is the worst” refrain is that even when the change is acknowledged, they constantly make out like he’s on thin ice.
But the funniest part has to be that they write this whilst also having pretty much every new main cast member they add to show take a shine to him;
Billy just wants Steve to pay attention to him (and was bitterly disappointed that Steve was just some dude and not the raging asshole that everyone’s told him about)
Max hates teenage boys, but concludes she has found the one good one
Robin enjoys his company despite herself and becomes soul bonded to him
Eddie ends up being straight (I’m sorry) up *enchanted* by Steve, and we have a whole scene of him trying desperately to communicate this to him - of course Nancy wants you, dude! Who wouldn’t?
I know we’ve joked about Joe’s charisma, but canonically Steve’s must be *otherworldly*. Clearly the only reason Nancy didn’t let him fuck that old man was because the writers needed to make things difficult for them.
The show simultaneously trying to remind us Steve used to be a dick but is actually the most charming lad in all the land and is everybody's favourite most specialest boy. Like they try to make us remember Steve being mean but then it's also telling us he's a silly billy driving his bestie to school without questioning it and not knowing she doesn't even know how to drive. How are we supposed to think he's gonna backslide.
Lmaooo billy being disappointed Steve's not an asshole. It's no fun winning for him if it wasn't actually a competition :(
Max: no teenage boys allowed
Steve and Lucas: *exist*
Max: okay I will make an exception because they seem very nice
Dustin just consistently telling everyone he meets Steve is the coolest most badass person alive. Can you imagine the hero worship Suzie has heard?? (Suzie is also a Steve Stan and she hasn't even MET him)
Robin spends one month in close proximity to Steve and she's like well. Guess he's my best friend now!! And she was probably actively trying to not like him! And yet here we are! She liked him before they got tortured and she was probably so ticked off about how she, too, has fallen platonically for the Harrington charm. Not fair. Embarrassing.
Eddie spends less than a week around Steve and immediately joins his little cheer squad with Robin and Dustin. Like, if they wanted us to know that Steve was a dick to people for no reason in highschool Eddie would've been the person to use to demonstrate that, or the tension between who he was and who he is, but they don't! Eddie just admits he made assumptions about Steve without knowing much about him other than his rich parents and big house and popularity with girls, (saying more about himself than Steve) and then immediately jumps on the Steve bandwagon because now he can't understand why anyone who spent any amount of time with Steve wouldn't like him!
Even Nancy wasn't immune to Steve's charms in S4, and she had previously broken up with him messily! But all it took was a little bit of the town in danger and Steve trying to make sure everyone's on the same page while Looking Good for her to be Gazing Lustfully at him. That's why S2 and S3 had them separate for so long. Too long around him and she'd remember that she does find him cute and funny and brave and also hot.
Reasons Nancy stopped Steve from Fucking That Old Man: 1) writers needed them finding out info to be more of a struggle 2) they also probably didn't want a middle aged supposedly professional man sleeping with one of their teenage characters I guess 3) Nancy would have been wild with jealousy about the whole thing and stancy revival would have been much more obvious earlier, much more Nancy driven, and much funnier.

let you break my heart again.
warning: hurt ‘n no comfort, bakugou is emotionally unavailable </3, reader is heartbroken, depression signs (not eating enough).
a/n: i’m back :) inspired by let you break my heart again by laufey.
🎵Feeling kind of sick tonight. All I've had is coffee and leftover pie. It's no wonder why🎵
Who knew love could be so draining? it hurt. and it hurt so bad. especially when the person you loved wasn’t as emotionally available as you. it hurts, you need somebody to shield you from the storm of your own mind. you’re slipping further into the never ending void of your own mind, you’re not meeting your physical needs enough.
🎵Ooh, still you take up all my mind. I don't even think that you care like I do.🎵
Why do you love him so much? he never cares for anybody, he hardly cares for himself a lot of the time, why are you expecting a guy like that to love you? you’re so gullible to think that you have a chance with him, the katsuki bakugou! he’ll never have time for you.
🎵 I should stop, heaven knows I've tried🎵
Distance makes the heart grow fonder, they said. you had to learn the hard way, from whatever this was. you were a deer chasing a lion, even if you knew you’d be dead by the end of it.
🎵One day, I will stop falling in love with you🎵
A lie you keep telling yourself, or so it looks like. you don’t know whether you’ll get out this vicious cycle or not, it’s depressing; having to be in a situation like this. could you stop being so naïve?
🎵Some day, someone will like me like I like you.🎵
It hurts, but he might not be your true love, as much as you want him to be. Maybe your true love is out there having his heart broken, too. by someone they think is the right one. but you want him. and it hurts! love is so brutal, so brutal..
🎵Until then, I'll drink my coffee, eat my pie. Pretend that we are more than friends.🎵
Until then, you’ll live in your delusions, dreaming of living in a big city, in a luxurious house, having your children run around the house wreaking havoc. that’s the life you want, but will it be yours? you know your answer: a brief, brutally honest, disgusting no. you’ll never be his. get over it.
🎵Then of course I'll let you break my heart again.🎵
But until anything happens, you’ll let yourself run dry and be broken beyond repair, so maybe he can see you, love you. you’ll let yourself continue in this vicious cycle and keep getting tortured. it’s the best thing.. right?
🎵 I'm just tryna understand. What I am to you. More than songs we've exchanged. Midnight calls. Sunset views.🎵
You’re somewhat close to him, but all the connections you’ve had were through songs, or you’d call eachother because everyone is asleep, but he’d hang up a little over the 5 minute mark, since he needed his sleep. and he’d leave you stranded.
“The sunset looks nice.” he speaks to himself as he’s walking back to the dormitory.
“it is.” you spoke with a small smile.
that’s about 60% of your weekly or even monthly conversations together, you can’t even consider yourself a friend of his, you’re so stupid to have fallen in love with him.
🎵Promise I don't mean to cry. But I get overwhelmed and confused.🎵
Your day’s endings end in endless sobbing, that eventually lulls you to sleep, you want something other than the wetness of your pillow and the warmth of your blanket(s) to care for you. you want somebody, but you’re so distant now that nobody likes you.
🎵If only you knew what I felt like.🎵
You wish you could muster up the courage to tell hik your true feelings. i love you is a cursed three word sentence that dies at the tip of your tongue, and you can’t speak it out because you can’t feel it from him.
🎵One day, I will stop falling in love with you. Some day, someone will like me like I like you. Until then, I'll drink my coffee, eat my pie. Pretend that we are more than friends. Then of course I'll let you break my heart again🎵
It’s a cycle. it’s a loop. it’s never ending. someone needs to pull you out this torturous marathon that has no end, and no prize to win at the end, you’ll have to surrender and quit, you can’t win, you’ll never win.
🎵Some day, one day I will stop falling in love with you. Until I do, I'll be thinking of you. Let you break my heart again🎵
You have hope in yourself, though. that hasn’t dissipated, you hold the hope of escaping this endless loop, but until then you’ll nourish in the torture, trying to pick your broken pieces up like puzzle pieces, and trying to conceal your feelings, until the true one comes to you, naturally.

M/M | Rating: Mature | No Archive Warnings Apply | Words: 23,607 | Chapters: 8/8
Tags: Soulless!Sam, Season/Series 06
Summary: Humans liked to touch each other in ways that baffled Castiel. Not just in the manner they slyly referred to as biblically. He watched them clap hands onto shoulders and backs, lean into each other in exhaustion, sleep sitting up with feet resting against each other on the floor. A constant, reverberating, nonverbal hymn. I am here. You are here. We are here, and we are alive. Angels did not need that kind of reassurance. Castiel could hear his siblings' songs no matter how near he was to them physically. Prayers and psalms in the back of his mind. It saddened him, somewhat, to think that humanity would never know that.

They'd both wrecked themselves to achieve an end, and in turn wrecked others. But they couldn't have been more than two opposites on the end of the spectrum that somehow aligned at the middle-point, and now there was no going back.

Breathe Me II
Part 1 Part 3 Part 4
Warnings: captivity, torture, broken bones, forced to watch, self sacrifice
Team Leader listened to their team make a plan to get out of the cage the next time Whumper came back. Team Leader was too weary to open their eyes. They couldn't get a deep enough breath to chime in on the plan. They had complete trust in their team.
Teammate Three rubbed circles with their thumb on Team Leader's hand. Team Leader's eyelids were so heavy. They were safe for now. The team had them. Whumper wasn't here. They were ok. They just needed to keep breathing.
Team Leader hadn't realized they had fallen asleep again. As they opened their eyes once more, Teammate Three squeezed them tightly. Team Leader could hear Teammate One shouting again.
"They need help! You can't keep doing this! Hurt one of us. Hurt me!" Teammate One shouted.
"Why? I don't want you. I want Team Leader." Whumper's cold voice came.
Team Leader couldn't help but tremble. They could barely breathe. Whumper had broken more than a few ribs. They weren't sure they could endure another beating, not sure if Whumper wouldn't kill them outright this time.
"Shhhh, it's ok, Team Leader," Teammate Three said softly as Team Leader whimpered, "we won't let Whumper take you."
"You have absolutely no power over that, Teammate Three. I wouldn't make promises you can't keep."
Team Leader heard someone banging on the bars of the cage. "I won't let you take them!"
"Nor will I!" Teammate Two's soft voice came loudly.
Team Leader was touched that their team was fighting for their life. But they knew that it was useless. Whumper would get their way. Whumper always got their way. And as the cage door opened, Team Leader could only hope that they would live through this next beating long enough to see their team break free.

Simon "Ghost" Riley x Male!Reader Mafia AU (chapter 19)
18+ Minor DNI
Summery: As (Y/N) and Simon get closer and closer, their relationship shifts to a new directon, a different one. No longer just some low life bodyguard and the son of the boss, but now a partnership build on mutual trust and protection. Lines are blurred and new alliances are forged even stronger.
Warnings(contains spoilers, but that is obvious): (Y/N) has some complicated feelings that if you have been a victim of emotional abuse and emotional neglect may be a bit hard to read about. Essentially (Y/N) realises he is capable of love and deserving of happiness
AN: I meant to have this out wayyyyyyyy earlier, as in last week but my engagement of 3 years ended, so sorry, I have just been too disraught, sad and pissed off to even consider writing this finished, somehow (Y/N) and Simon being so happy together was painful. I guess the fanfiction writer curse strikes again....
Word count: 3.2K
(Y/N) stared down at the sleeping Simon. He looked peaceful… no, he looked young and peaceful. No nightmares plagued his mind behind the eyelids, no anxiety was freezing his core and no doubt was tending the already huge garden of doubt flowers that grew in his mind.
(Y/N) smiled as he ran a hand through Simon’s hair, for once with care instead of possession. He had started to like Simon, no, he hadn’t lied to Simon earlier in the week. He loved him. He… loved… him. The thought was foreign to (Y/N), he didn’t know how that had happened or how Simon had wormed his way into his heart, yet here he was, warming up something that (Y/N) had forgotten he had. He felt odd. He was simultaneously on a cloud and in the deepest pits of hell, the last few weeks had been like descending into hell, every single layer worse than the other.
He felt a lot like Dante, forced to descend into hell only to learn how to love and have compassion. The thought left a grim taste in his mouth as he realised he may eventually feel bad for his actions. (Y/N) had never felt like more than a pawn to anyone, to his family, to the agency and to Price. But with Simon… Simon had never treated him like anything but someone better than him, superior then him, all the while (Y/N) knew from day one that (Y/N) could never be half the man Simon was. He saw him for what he was, a once beautiful angel that had survived abuse and torture at the hands of his parents, only to endure it at the hands of John Price.
Simon was beyond broken, an angel whose wings had been clipped and stolen, yet he had never fallen, he had never once let it truly break him. (Y/N) had seen the light and like his father he had sought to squash the light, yet no matter how much he tried, the light was so bright that (Y/N) had been overwhelmed and Simon’s kindness was so heartbreakingly pure despite everything that (Y/N) had changed positively. (Y/N) was somehow a better man for knowing Simon and Simon had stopped hiding behind Ghost as an attempt at hiding who he was.
He was growing his wings back and Simon was more confident in himself than ever and (Y/N) loved every single second of it. He closed his eyes and let sleep take him.
(Y/N) woke when the alarm blared into his ear. Both men groaned as they separated for the morning and got up. As they both got dressed (Y/N) caught Simon glancing at him, (Y/N) headed over and wrapped his arms around Simon from behind, he kissed the spine between his shoulders. “Hmmm, morning luv.” Simon’s voice rumbled. “You are not usually this clingy.” He leaned back against (Y/N).
“I just realised how much I care and how much I love you.” (Y/N) whispered into his back before kissing his back again.
Simon chuckled. “Well, sir, I am always here for you,” Simon said.
(Y/N) chuckled. “Thank you, Si.” He said softly before pulling away with a sigh. “What is on the agenda today?”
“Meeting with the Shadow Unit, as usual,” Simon said as he placed his knives in their usual places. “Then you have dinner with the police chief, one of your father's allies has lent out his restaurant for this, I hope you like Italian food.”
(Y/N) chuckled. “I don’t mind it, the food isn’t all that bad.” He hid his own knives as well before checking up on his drawing kit. He checked the sharpness. Simon’s eyes were on him through the whole process. When he was done he wrapped it again and walked over to Simon. They shared a quick kiss before walking out.
After breakfast and the daily first meeting with various people who (Y/N) made very little attempt to even remember who was, he headed to lunch with the police chief.
(Y/N) sat down and looked at the smug face. “My officer says you are working close,” Shepherd said.
“Of course, we appreciate the shadow unit more than we could ever express.” (Y/N) said as he leaned back in the chair. The waiter poured him a glass of red wine. “Besides, Graves, your lapdog, is quite useful in many ways.” He said.
“He wouldn’t appreciate you calling him that,” Shepherd said with a chuckle.
(Y/N) shrugged as he picked up the glass of wine. “Yet, it is true.”
“Touché, Mister Price.” Shepherd said. “Graves reported his men started calling you The Iron Fist.” He said.
(Y/N) sipped the dry wine before sitting it down. “Iron fist?”
“Yes, apparently you are quite strict.” He said.
“I am no drill sergeant.” (Y/N) chuckled. “But they are learning how to not crack under torture.”
“By… torturing them,” Shepherd said.
“Nothing a child can’t go through.” (Y/N) said nonchalantly. As though pain and suffering didn't matter to him and Shephard knew, in his heart, that for (Y/N) it probably didn't matter, as long as a soldier was made out of the child.
Shepherd looked genuinely taken back and a bit disgusted at that. “You put children through that?”
“It was what my mother put me through, they won’t ever experience anything worse, I promise.” (Y/N) said.
He looked distrustful of that. “Are you suggesting that my men will be in danger of getting kidnapped and tortured?”
“It is always a possibility, even without them working for us, what I bring to the family is fresh eyes and fresh blood. I have allies and contacts for future work that would leave many quaking in their boots but it will earn you a good bonus.” (Y/N) said with a smile.
“A good bonus?” The police chief asked.
(Y/N) took a piece of paper out of his pocket and wrote 20 000$ on it before turning it over and sliding it over to him. Shepherd took it and looked at it. His eyes widened as he looked at (Y/N). “Bi-annually, on top of what we already give you, that is just a taste too. I am expanding the business in due time, though not without regulating what happens. If your men think of me as The Iron Fist now they will be in for a rude awakening when I take over and actually handle more business than our lovely police force.”
“And what about Grave’s, your police lap dog? What will happen to him?” Shepherd asked as the food was placed down in front of them. Perhaps (Y/N)'s cruelty wasn't so outrageous if it got results like this…
“He will keep being a lapdog. If I say jump I don’t even want him to ask how high, he should jump as high as possible.” (Y/N) took a bite of food and swallowed it before speaking again. “I will keep him close but keep in mind that I am happily taken, I won’t fuck his brains out.”
Shepherd cleared his throat. “Do you use your body often for sexual favours to clients?” (Y/N) chuckled at that.
“Not anymore, no.” (Y/N) said. “I don’t tend to have open relationships. I am a tad bit… possessive.” He heard Simon shuffle behind him.
“You must make whoever it is very happy,” Shepherd said.
(Y/N) smiled. “Yes, I think so too.” (Y/N) said with a softness Shepherd hadn’t heard from him.
“And you won’t tell me who?” Shepherd asked, mostly as a joke.
(Y/N) chuckled and shook his head. “No, we like to keep things private.”
Shepherd chuckled at that. “Alright, alright. I will let you keep your secrets.”
The rest of the lunch was decent, they had spent it talking about some minor things. No business after that.
When lunch was over Simon and (Y/N) headed back to the warehouse being used as a training facility. They entered to see Graves running men through the usual drills. (Y/N) gave a hum.
He walked over to them and looked at everyone going through the different drills. “Your men show promise.”
“Thank you, sir.” Graves smiled at the praise. He looked at him. “How did your lunch go?”
“It went well. Has Gaz arrived yet?” (Y/N) asked.
“Ah, yes. He is in your office, Sir.” Graves said.
“Next time lead with that. Ghost, keep an eye on their training.” (Y/N) said before walking upstairs. He entered his office and looked at Gaz with a smile. Both men shared a hug. (Y/N) sat down behind his desk and Gaz sat down in front of it. “So, what’s new?”
Gaz leaned back. “Well, your father is stressed, but still working, we keep suggesting he takes a break or give you more responsibility.”
“He is getting old.” (Y/N) said. “I am here to help in any way he needs or wants.”
“Those two are not the same?” Gaz asked.
(Y/N) chuckled. “We both know they aren’t, Gaz.”
“Oh, this is business?” Gaz chuckled.
(Y/N) smiled and shook his head. “Do you prefer Kyle, out here amongst the dogs?”
“I think you said 'A dog and his pigs',” Gaz said.
“Well, the lapdog is very entertaining to tease and his pigs are very needed to get our business running.” (Y/N) shrugged. “Besides, I am very happy with how Graves makes Ghost react.”
Gaz smirked. “You like the fact he asks you to fuck him.”
“Yes, though you should know all about that, Kyle.” (Y/N) commented.
“Oh I do, I know far better than most people.” He responded.
“Aye, you do.” (Y/N) chuckled. “Does my father even know about what we did?”
Gaz nodded. “He found out when Ghost was honest and said everyone wanted to fuck your brains out,” Gaz said with a shrug. “He couldn’t do anything as he realised that everyone would in fact like to fuck you. He asked me why and I answered truthfully. He regretted asking and just let people be.” He said. “He figured it would keep people loyal to you when he retired.”
“It does tend to keep people close to me.” (Y/N) said.
“May I ask, how do you do it?” Gaz asked.
“You may and honestly, I don’t know. I am just charming. To some degree it is probably my training kicking in but… for me, this is just me.” (Y/N) said, once again, shrugging.
“Interesting,” Gaz said. “So it is all unintentional?”
“Probably to others at this point.” (Y/N) said. “But I do use it and wield it like a weapon.”
“Except with Ghost,” Gaz said.
“What?” (Y/N) asked.
“Except with Ghost. I see the way you look at him when you think no one is looking.” Gaz said. “You look at him as though he is your whole world and as if you would happily burn the whole world down just for him,” Gaz said.
“I do love him.” (Y/N) said as he leaned back.
“You love him more than you realise,” Gaz said. “You do realise it, right?”
“I…” (Y/N) looked away, his silence was enough.
Gaz tilted his head. “You didn’t realise you loved him?” He asked. “It’s okay to have emotions, to be human.”
“No, emotions are a weakness.” (Y/N) said. “Care is a weakness. I can’t be weak.”
“That’s why Ghost is here, why you have friends, so that if you are weak for a moment then they will support you. Have you not had that before?” Gaz asked softly.
“Get out.” (Y/N) choked out.
Gaz said nothing more, he stood up and left, closing the door behind him. Gaz looked at Ghost and sighed. “Check up on him.” He said before leaving.
Simon frowned before looking at Graves. “Excuse me.” He walked up the stairs and knocked. “Sir?”
He heard some shuffling around before (Y/N) cleared his throat. “Come in.”
Simon entered and tilted his head. “Are you okay?” He asked as he noticed (Y/N) had been crying, his eyes had puffed up.
“No, I… I am not good with emotions, Si.” (Y/N) said. “Kyle made me realise a few things, I… I can’t handle that well.”
Simon walked over and sat down in front of him. “Anything to talk about?”
(Y/N) shook his head. “Not right now. But thank you, Si.” (Y/N) chewed on his lip. Simon had never seen him so… nervous. “How are the recruits going?”
Simon stood up and walked behind the table. “(Y/N)?” He lifted (Y/N)’s face up with a finger under his chin. “Look at me, please.”
(Y/N) looked into his eyes. “Yes?”
“Are you okay?”
(Y/N)’s face conveyed very little emotion but his eyes were stormy as doubt and thoughts rushed through them. Every single fear he had ever felt was coming to life. “No.”
Simon sat in his lap and wrapped his arms around him. (Y/N) hesitated before wrapping his arms around Simon. He didn’t cry out loud, but Simon felt him shake as he sobbed into his shoulder, the facade of the charming suave man who got into everyone’s pants fell away and once again Simon saw the vulnerable man who had never experienced actual love before, he had gotten glimpses of that version of him in the past though never as much as right here.
They sat there for an hour, neither of them moved, and neither of them spoke. The lines were blurring. Simon had gained confidence in their time together and (Y/N) had slowly begun trusting him with his emotions. They were healthily shifting roles. They were becoming one.
Simon stood up and held his hand out to (Y/N) who took it silently. They walked out, got into the car and got home. Simon waved people away as he took (Y/N) straight up to their bedroom. He ensured the door was closed behind them before laying down on the bed, still fully clothed. (Y/N) joined him on the bed, he cuddled into him and placed his head on his chest before closing his eyes.
Simon wrapped his arms around him and drew small circles on (Y/N)’s hips as he watched him fall asleep. Simon fought off sleep himself for a while before he too succumbed to the would-be nap, except no one woke them up.
(Y/N) and Simon awoke together around midnight. Both were far too well-rested to go back to sleep. (Y/N) looked up at Simon before cupping his cheek. “Thank you, for taking care of me.” He whispered.
Simon kissed his palm. “I will always take care of you.” He whispered back before (Y/N) straddled him.
“May I?” (Y/N) asked softly.
Simon nodded.
(Y/N) kissed him, it was slow and full of love, there was no demand for anything to go further but Simon reached up and gently cupped his cheek as they kissed, his other hand went down further landing on (Y/N)’s lower back. When they pulled away to breathe, their foreheads pressed together. “I want you,” Simon whispered.
(Y/N) smiled and kissed him again. “Then you will have me. Go clean yourself and I will prepare everything here.” (Y/N) said softly as he got off him. He watched Simon walk off before lighting a few mildly scented rose tealights, he ensured there was lube, condoms and things to clean Simon up with afterwards before sitting down. His mind went to Simon’s lips, how sweet they tasted against him, how much he wanted him forever and how much he loved him. (Y/N) smiled softly.
Simon came back out, already naked. (Y/N) undressed before walking over. He looked up into his eyes. “I love you.” (Y/N) said. Simon smiled at that and kissed him before saying, “I love you too.”
(Y/N) led Simon over to the bed where Simon lay down. He got between his legs and grabbed the lube, he squirted a good amount on his fingers before he started preparing Simon. First, one finger, slowly in and out, gently easing its way, there was no need to rush. Every single movement was followed by a kiss to the thigh, not something that would leave visible marks but Simon would spend the rest of the week feeling the ghostly kisses.
(Y/N) added a second finger, he curled and spread his fingers just right to get small moans out of Simon, he looked up at him with a smile and watched as his eyes halfway closed. The sheer trust they had in each other was beautiful. He added more lube before adding a third finger. His fingers curled around Simon’s prostate drawing further soft moans out from him.
(Y/N) pulled away as he grabbed a condom. Simon whined as he felt empty, he looked at (Y/N) and bit his lip as he watched him take the condom. “I am clean,” Simon said. (Y/N) looked at him and tilted his head. “So am I. Are you sure you want to bareback this?”
Simon nodded. “Yes.” He said. “I trust you, we are both clean.”
(Y/N) gave a nod at that and lubed up his cock, it was already hard. He positioned them both just right before slowly sliding into him. He bottomed out and waited for Simon to get comfortable. “You are taking me so well.” (Y/N) praised. Simon smiled at that.
(Y/N) leaned down without stopping his movement. Simon held onto (Y/N) as they shared loving but sloppy kisses. Both chased their mutual satisfaction. “Fuck Si, you feel so good.” (Y/N) said against the kiss, his pace didn’t falter.
Simon’s grip on (Y/N)’s shoulders and arms didn’t falter as he moaned against the kiss. (Y/N)’s choice of words sent him spiralling closer to his own edge. “(Y/N), fuck, this is so good, please don’t stop!” He cried out. He opened his eyes and looked up at (Y/N). His cock was leaking precum all over his stomach. He detached one hand and reached down before tugging at his own cock, further sending him spiralling towards the fast-approaching edge. The knot in his stomach was forming faster than he could even begin to realise. “I’m close.”
(Y/N) felt a surge of pride, Simon was already so close just because of him. He fucked into him harder. “Cum when you can, Si.” He panted.
Simon kissed him again, their tongues clashed against each other as teeth hit teeth, it was sloppy, tired and loving.
(Y/N) bit Simon’s lower lip as he kept thrusting into him, he was barreling towards his own bliss, not caring as moans tore themselves from his mouth, his sense was flooded with Simon and the feeling of his wet warm hole.
Simon moaned out louder than before as white cum sprayed over his hand and his stomach. He clenched around (Y/N) who thrust into him a few more times before cumming deep inside him. (Y/N) panted out as the adrenaline left their bodies. “Fuck si… Ah god, you were good, this was, hmmm, amazing.” He said and pulled out, he watched as his cum fell out of Simon’s hole.
“You were even better,” Simon said from his blissed-out state.
(Y/N) chuckled and grabbed a towel before cleaning Simon up. “Thank you, my love.” (Y/N) said.
“Shower now or later?”
“In the morning,” Simon said as he opened his arms.
(Y/N) wrapped his arms around him as he lay down with him. “Hmm, whole rooms gonna stink of us, Si.” (Y/N) said.
“Fuck it,” Simon said and chuckled.
Both men rested for a few moments before falling asleep in each other's arms again.
All lines between them blurred. They had become more equal and more in love. Nothing could tear them apart now. Not John Price, not Police Chief Shephards and not (Y/N)’s family. They were a unit now. Perfect for each other and perfectly dependent on one another.
Hopefully nothing would go wrong.

Knocks Trigger warnings for PTSD, mentions of war, torture, winter solider stuff etc. Winter Solider x F Reader Chapter 1/3 3100 words Angst, more angst, comfort. 18+ MDNI Originally written as a 3 part prelude to Adjustment. Maybe storage is kinder
The Solider had started turning up at her door more frequently than before.
He’d knock three times, and wait- like he’d been trained to do, and she’d open, and bring him inside, no matter what time it was.
She began to suspect that he was rushing through missions in order to speed up their visits.
There was no proof, but even the wounds he was sustaining seemed to be worsening.
He was getting sloppy, she’d thought.
Luckily, HYDRA didn’t care about his physical condition, as long as his jobs where finished, and now that he was besting even his own records, they seemed to be giving him more missions than they ever had before.
He was speeding through the tasks, one after another, which in turn meant he was spending much less time on ice.
Y/N had noticed how much less time when she’d gone to clean a deep cut on his flesh palm, and he’d held her hand.
Her heart had broken, then. When she’d looked at the face of the brainwashed man, and seen his brow creased with concern.
“Are you okay, solider?”
He’d hesitated, he’d blinked up at her, face suddenly ladened with confusion.
“do you have a name?”
“Y/N” she’d smiled, watching as he gave her a small nod, his hair had fallen in-front of his eyes, and she’d wondered if they’d given up on trying to cut it with him awake.
“I don’t think I have one.”
His voice was small, and unexpected-
and god, it hurt.
Y/N had thought that hearing him say that, had been worse than any torture HYDRA had subjected her too.
She’d blinked emotion away from her face as she’d met his gaze.
“I’m sure you do” Y/N had purred quietly, “I’ll try and find it for you, if you try not to think about it too much, okay?”
He’d looked at her curiously, so she’d offered him another small quirk of her lips,
“I don’t want you gettin’ in trouble.”
She’d been worried that he didn’t understand, but then, he’d given her a small nod, and let his palm unfurl in her hand, so that she could complete her task.
That’s when she’d first begun to feel hopeful that he had some concept of what kind of relationship she was trying to build.
Y/N had been hopeful that him beginning to risk questioning things so openly with her, was a sign that trust was starting to blossom between them.
The Solider seemed to be aware that he wasn’t supposed to be thinking, as much as he had been, he seemed to know what’d she’d meant when she’d told him to try to lay off on his own self-questioning. She wondered if the others where picking up on his shifting mood, too, or if he was managing to hide it well enough to avoid anyone pulling him up, either way, Y/N decided to follow through on her end of the bargain, regardless of wether his handlers might begin to worry that he was slipping too much and wipe him again before they next spoke.
All in all, it hadn’t taken her long to find his identity.
Her handlers ignored her, for the most part- She was at best a pet, and at worst a means to an end, a disposable piece of their puzzle, so sneaking into places where folders where kept was never a challenge, it was amazing how blindly they trusted their mind control techniques, she’d almost found it comical as she’d palmed open ‘the assets’ hand book.
Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes.
There where pictures clipped to the faded pages, along with scrawled notes regarding possible weaknesses, fears, and already completed training.
She scanned everything, trying her best to memorise anything that she’d thought might hold any importance; codewords, phobias, triggers, even family members, that where all long dead, save for one younger sister, who was supposedly in her 70s, living in a home in Texas.
A picture of the sergeant posing next to a young, but still recognisable Captain America had also caught her eye.
She’d heard about Steve Rodgers, from Natasha, she hadn’t heard much, but her sister had talked about the man with something akin to fondness, so Y/N had decided it would have been unlikely for him to be involved in the continued containment of his old pal, even though HYDRA where quickly infiltrating SHEILD, where Y/N was sure that he was still employed, he’d been on payroll, last time she’d managed to sneak a look at their database, anyway.
Her suspicions had been almost totally satiated by time and more pondering when she was surprised by three firm knocks on her door.
Odd, she’d thought, The Asset had been in her office this morning, post mission but otherwise fine, there’d been barely a scratch on him…
She’d had to swallow a gasp when she’d opened the door,
The solider was hurt- badly, hurt. He was bloody, lip split, tactical vest removed, metal arm tightened around his own ribs, and he was leaning obviously over to one side.
She’d hidden her alarm, and ushered him inside, making a point of locking the door behind them.
“Report, Solider-”
Y/N had kept her voice soft, much softer than she’d usually make it sound when she was giving him a command like that.
He’d panted, blinking up at her with a rabid look behind his eyes.
That’s when she’d realised that something was really wrong.
The Solider wasn’t meant to feel fear, he’d had it trained out of him over nearly a hundred years, and although sometimes his eyes or his arm betrayed him, Y/N had never seen him as blatantly petrified as this.
“I don't know.” He’d barely grunted, eyes still darting around in assessment.
“Does anyone know you’re here?”
He’d shaken his head.
Fuck.
“Did you receive commands, in terms of where to go?”
The asset had straightened up a fraction then, and Y/N had thought it looked awfully like he was trying to decide wether he was safe to tell the truth.
“to get cleaned up.”
Y/N nodded calmly, letting out a slow breath as she accepted his statement.
She could swing that, if she had too, if someone found them, they could make that seem like an order taken the wrong way.
“You’re afraid?”
His voice had been thick, and dry and Y/N had found herself pausing, hand hovering above the medical supplies that she’d already made her way too.
“A little.” She’d replied honestly, grabbing her tray and gesturing for him to sit on stool that was lower than the table where he was usually placed. “But not of you.”
“Why not?” The Soldier had asked, skimming over her quickly in an attempt to assess her, “You are not strong enough to stop me, you are weaponless.”
Y/N had hummed in agreement, setting a damp cloth on the surface next to where she was now kneeling.
“I will not hurt you.”
He’d sounded certain, and she had nodded quickly, to enforce that belief.
“And I won’t hurt you.” She’d promised, “Sit, please.”
He’d obeyed instantly, folding down onto the afore mentioned stool with inhumane swiftness.
Y/N had reached up to tilt his chin to the side, to get a better view of the clear damage to his jaw.
He looked shocked, then, as he realised that she wasn’t going trying to worsen his condition.
Y/N had realised he was expecting to be harmed further, so she’d realised him.
“Tell me where it hurts” she’d requested quietly, knowing that she didn’t have the time to examine his body fully and still get everything done that she needed to.
“Clarify orders?” The solider had countered blankly, “Unable to comply.”
Y/N’s heart had dropped as she’d seen the shaking of his body.
“Are you saying that everywhere, hurts, solider?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Does anywhere hurt worse?” Y/N had pressed, trying not to let emotion taint her voice.
The man before her had closed his eyes for a moment, and she’d thought that that, was the first time she’d seen, the James Buchanon Barnes from the photographs.
“face, shoulder, leg.”
He’d nodded to the left side, and Y/N had nodded calmly, dabbing warm water over the cuts on his lip.
“You have a nice voice” She’d hummed, not wanting to stay silent while she was so invasively cleaning his cheeks, “do you remember where you’re from?”
That had been risky. She’d known that, even back then, but still, it had seemed worth it at the time, for the information, if nothing more.
“They tell me I’m from Brooklyn. Pierce says I sound like an American boy.”
Y/N had cringed at that, at the way that she could picture the crueler officers taunting him that way.
“Is he the one who did this?”
The solider had been silent for a few minutes in the wake of her question, and she’d worried that she’d gone too far, she didn’t have authorisation for that kind of report, he had no reason to reply, especially so soon after he’d clearly been on the receiving end of some kind of ‘correction.’
“He told me to comply- the others want to make me a better solider- I must’ve done something wrong.”
Y/N’s breath had caught in her throat, and she’d hoped he hadn’t noticed.
“Do you remember how many of them there where?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
She’d chuckled then, despite herself, at the way he’d answered her so bluntly.
When she’d finally looked up at him again, she’d thought that there might have been a hint of a smile on his face, but she couldn’t be sure, and it seemed awfully unlikely, given the circumstances so she’d shaken it off.
Her palm was hot against his jaw, she could feel the broken bone pulsing beneath his skin, the idea of him speaking with it in such bad shape made her feel strangely guilty, but she couldn’t help but talk to him further-
“how many?”
“12”
He’d told her quietly.
Y/N kept her hands moving, she was making quick work of disinfecting his open wounds, but the evidence of his fractured bones was plainly visible underneath his skin, and she couldn’t help but feel utterly useless when she‘d realised there was little she could do to make that kind of injury any better for the man who was clearly risking everything to trust her.
“You know who they are?” She’d wondered, eyes flicking over the scar of his shoulder, he’d said that was one of the areas that hurt most, yet she couldn’t see any signs of damage to the tissue, that filled her with an awful sense of dread.
Her fingers had flittered over to his scar in search of any hidden wounds.
“Field team three” the solider had reported, seemingly unfazed by her prodding “they are working with me on my mission tomorrow”
Y/N had hummed and sat back on her heels, there’d been nothing sinister lurking around the prosthetic, so she’d decided to examine her work so far.
There was a pile of copper stained rags on the ground, and the man before her was still clearly in bad shape, but at least he was no longer covered in blood.
The lack of red only highlighted the abnormal swelling of his jaw, it was mottled deep blue and green, his eye socket was shiny too, but that was already hallowed with yellow that signalled that healing was close.
“You’ve had a lotta’ missions recently.” Y/N had commented, packing her things away, “you must be tired.”
His metal arm snarled loudly, but the solider stayed eerily still.
“Do you want to put me away?”
His words had hit her like a hammer on a nail, he sounded so hopelessly defeated that when Y/N had turned to face him instantly, her hands empty, she’d been surprised to see his posture still so open before her.
“No, solider.” she’d assured him, “I’m not someone who decides when you get put away.”
He’d known that, she’d thought, but when he’d nodded, and lowered his eyes a fraction she hadn’t been able to stop herself from reaching out to stroke his hair back away from his face.
“Please”
His voice had been gruff, and quiet, but she’d heard it all the same.
“What?” Y/N had pressed, her fingers lingering by his ears.
He’d huffed out a breath, averting his eyes subserviently.
“I should not have spoken.”
No, No, No. That wouldn’t do. Y/N hadn’t been able to accept that.
“You have permission, Solider. Speak freely.”
He’d looked almost hopeful then, as he’d let himself look back at her face.
“Please don’t pull my hair.”
God, Y/N’s heart had broken. She knew she’d never forget the hollow ache that his whispered plea had stirred inside her chest.
“I won’t” She’d promised softly, taking a risk by carding through the dark locks again, “I promise, Solider, no pulling.”
He’d let his eyes flutter closed, and even though the trusting gesture had only lasted a moment before he’d blinked himself back to reality, it had helped ease the pain in her gut.
“Thank you.”
Y/N shook her head, sitting back away from him again.
He’d looked so sad, so awfully lost, that the urge to take him in her arms and assure him of his safety had been almost intolerable.
but he wasn’t safe, neither of them were, and she’d known better than to lie to him, he’d had enough of that, already.
“You’ve been out of cryo awhile, huh?”
Again, she hadn’t really expected a response, but after a breath the solider had nodded and muttered out “5 weeks”
She’d nodded in understanding. That was too long, according to the handbook she’d read, much too long.
“I found your name.” Y/N had said, unable to hold back in the silence.
His head had snapped up then, to observe her more closely.
“m-my name?” He’d whispered, as though he couldn’t quite understand the words that had been on his tongue.
“It’s James.” She’d cooed, “but don’t tell anyone, okay?”
His brow had been furrowed in concentration.
Even with his distorted profile, Y/N couldn’t help but notice how out of sorts he looked.
“that- that doesn’t sound right” he’d mumbled, more to himself than to her. She’d been able to see the distress growing behind his gaze, she’d been able to hear the intense whirring of his arm.
“Shush” Y/N had soothed, reaching out to stroke his hair again, “don’t worry, it’s alright.”
He’d frozen under her touch.
He’d sat like a statue as she ran her fingers across his scalp.
“Sergeant James Buchanon Barnes” she’d whispered, “that’s who you are.”
His eyes had met hers, and suddenly, he’d looked like he remembered.
“Bucky.”
“What?” Y/N had asked, confused by not only his changed expression, but also the word he’d uttered so suddenly, “What’s Bucky?”
“I think that’s what-” The asset had whispered, “I think that’s what people called me- my- my friends.”
Oh, god. He’d definitely been off ice too long, he was definitely due a wipe.
She’d suddenly felt obscenely guilty, for the part she’d played in his current lucidity.
“Stop, now Solider.” Y/N had murmured, “You can’t think about that too much.”
He’d looked at her blankly for a second, until she’d tried to retract her hand from his head, and he’d reached across with startling speed, to hold her arm in place.
“Bucky” The Asset had corrected softly, “You’re not going to hurt me?”
“No” Y/N had promised, raising a brow as he’d lessened his grip, “No, Bucky, I’m not going to hurt you, but you’ve got to be careful, not everyone is-”
“a friend.” he’d mumbled, understanding. “It’s not my name anymore.”
Y/N had nodded, and been somewhat relieved.
“When we’re alone” she whispered, resuming her stroking of his skull, “When nobody else can hear, I’ll call you Bucky, if you’d like.”
He’d hummed in agreement, that was excentuated by the way he’d nodded a fraction.
“You’re a friend?”
The man had seemed so lost, then. So alone and afraid that the idea of anyone abusing him had made Y/N’s stomach ache.
“I’m a friend.” She’d confirmed, “You like this?” Her eyes had gestured towards her fingers.
The Solider- Bucky- had just hummed again.
“I- I don’t think I am supposed to like things”
His voice had seemed strange, compared to the monotone, certain tone it normally held, he sounded young, now, unsure and vulnerable.
Y/N had known then, that she was going to do her best to keep him out of trouble, until she could find a way to get them both out of there for good.
“Friends don’t tell secrets.” She’d told him softly, not overtly telling him that this whole interaction had to stay as one. “Are you still in pain?”
Bucky had shifted a little before grunting a quiet “It’s better.”
“Your bones should heal soon” Y/N had told him, easing up a little to pull back in place. “We’ve been quick, we should have some time before people come looking, if you’d like to rest.”
“Rest?” The man had seemed utterly shocked by her offer.
“Mhm” She’d confirmed, “just lay down, you’re safe with me.”
“Safe?” that word had sounded foreign to him, too.
“Yes, Bucky” Y/N had watched his reaction to his name with curiosity, “You’re safe, you’re with a friend, remember?”
He’d offered her a cautious nod, before looking around the room, in search of somewhere to settle.
“Will you come with me?” The Solider had asked, “to rest?”
“Would you like that?”
“I think so.”
Y/N had lead the way over to her make shift bed. She’d nodded down and helped the injured man to fold down until he was flat on his back, staring at her with piercing intensity.
She hadn’t wanted to get too close, to spook him or trigger something unpleasant.
But when she’d moved to sit next to him, he’d pulled the covers that she’d tucked in around him back, and ushered her against his unharmed side.
“I’ll protect you.” He’d promised, as soon as she’d settled into position. “I won’t hurt you.”
Y/N had rolled over to look at his face. He’d been frozen, stiff on his back, his eyes still aimed up at the stones above them, but he looked certain again, confident and committed.
“I know” She’d agreed, “I’ll protect you, too- I won’t hurt you, either.”
“I know.”

Whumptober #3
Day 3 - Devil May Cry - "I warned you"
*
Nero’s blood splashed to the ground, joining the growing puddle. His body was thrown down roughly, his eyes fluttering open only briefly before unconsciousness claimed him again.
Vergil stood watching as the demon lifted the boy’s limp body again, flinging Nero into a wall like a child with a toy. His expression was hard, impassive, his stance rigid.
“Wake up,” the demon snarled out, its voice grating. It grasped Nero’s head, squeezing.
Vergil delicately rested his hand on the hilt of the Yamato. The demon flicked a cold gaze his way, and Vergil resisted the urge to draw the sword. He was fast, but the demon had already proved it was quick, too. It could tear Nero in half before Vergil could free him.
Nero weakly stirred. He’d fought valiantly, but one grave mistake led to the demon managing to snatch him and turn him into a plaything.
Even now, Nero tried to struggle against the grip he was in, jerking his head away from the demon’s grasp. He had been disarmed, but he attempted to muster enough strength to jerk free. The demon simply tightened its hold, watching in amusement as Nero squirmed.
Vergil was so tense he felt like he was going to break. This thing was just toying with Nero; it had no intention of keeping the boy alive, surely. Vergil’s best bet was to try to be quicker, and cut his losses if he wasn’t.
Still, he did not move.
The demon grabbed Nero’s arm with its free claw as he managed to yank it free. Nero bared his teeth and tried to pry himself loose, but his newly regrown arm lacked the strength he needed to succeed.
The demon snorted at Nero’s attempt, and in one swift movement, it snapped Nero’s arm.
Nero’s eyes bulged in agony, and he bit down hard on his lip, slamming his head into the demon’s claw. His body trembled, but he did not cry out.
“Enough,” Vergil said, his voice deceptively calm. “Harm him just one more time and you will have run my patience to its end.”
The demon looked over at Vergil. It grinned, sharp teeth and vicious scorn.
“Fine,” Nero ground out. “I’m fine.”
He was not fine. He was bloodied and broken. That he had not fallen unconscious again was a miracle in itself.
The demon released Nero’s broken arm. It flopped down helplessly, making Nero wince. He tested it, throwing his head back and biting his lip again, blood leaking down his chin.
In a swift move, the demon has grabbed his other arm, locking eyes with Vergil as it slowly bent it. The snap of bone echoed through the room.
The demon didn’t even get to grin at the torture it had inflicted this time. It looked down in shock as the Yamato pierced its wrist and Nero fell from its grasp. Vergil caught the boy, careful of his injured arms, and stepped back, lying him against the wall.
“I did warn you,” he said, and then he lurched forward with a speed and fury he had never known before.
