FE THREE HOUSES FIRST IMPRESSION ESSAYS
GOLDEN DEER
claude: if I didn’t like edelgard as much as I do and he wasn’t wearing yellow he would absolutely be my first choice I love this guy. he’s silly!!!
lorenz: good HEAVENS what is that haircut. also your middle name is ‘Hellman’ which is concerning.
a ‘ladies man’ according to Claude. hm
raphael: big guy!!! he looks cool :]
ah jeez his parents are dead… poor guy I wanna give him a hug
leonie: I like her design!! and she’s jeralt’s apprentice, ooo….
interesting ability, too! she does more damage if a male unit is next to her. neat!
hilda: she looks cool! not sure if I’ll add her tho since I’ve already got edelgard as an axe unit
lazy, apparently. the part with Claude sharing how her picture wouldn’t be next to the word ‘lazy’ in the dictionary because she wouldn’t get around to submitting it was funny
marianne: someone please get this girl a towel she looks like a sad wet cat
might try to add her to my house for the sole reason because I really want to be her friend so that haunted look in her eyes will go away. bestie are you ok
lysethia: ooo I really like how she looks… might try to get her to join my house
she has double skill experience too!!!!!! I like her a lot besties get outta that house!!!!!!! can I trade caspar for her
ignatz: lil guy…. just a lil fella…
BLACK EAGLES
edelgard: ELDY MY BEST FRIEND EDELGARD I LIKE HER A LOT she’s pretty she wears red she has an axe her house is the black eagles what’s not to love.
bernadetta: I’ve known this girl for five seconds and I will kill anyone who tries to hurt her
I NEED TO BE THIS GIRL’S FRIEND IMMEDIATELY SHE IS SOSO TINY AND NEEDS A HUG
ferdinand: ‘legitimate’ son? I know that probably has some kind of medieval meaning but it’s funny to think the first thing he says is ‘I’m the REAL son of the Aegir family I SWEAR you HAVE TO BELIEVE ME’
not even Edelgard likes him. I’m iffy on this guy
hubert: oh that’s a malicious guy. I like him already what kind of shenanigans does he get up to
perta: AAAAAA SHE LOOKS REALLY COOL I LOVE HER ALREADY
her hair is very cool and she can use axes???????? I already adore her
caspar: he is. there.
no outstanding opinions. he’s just a dude
linhardt: his first line of dialouge is ‘Linhardt. Good-bye.’ so he’s already piqued my interest. what’s this guy’s deal
he only wants to do tasks that interest him and take naps, according to edelgard. a man after my own heart
dorothea: I like her design! she’s pretty :3
she can heal adjacent allies too, apparently! she’s gonna be a mainstay I can already tell
BLUE LIONS
dmitri: least favorite house leader. idk I just. dont like him. he looks annoying.
sylvain: cool hair but he immediatly started hitting on me as soon as I started talking to him so he’s already losing points
a ‘skirt chaser’ according to dmitri so. yeah least favorite student here so far
mercedes: mercie bestie join the black eagles these blue lion shmucks don’t deserve you
she looks SO nice I need to hug her this instant. holding her gently

no weaknesses according to her info screen! that’s correct for she is perfect

I would absolutely enjoy a friendly competition with him so I can wipe that smug gosh darn grin off his face. I like him!
ashe: yet another little guy to the pile! he has silver hair so I’m already a little interested
OOO HE HAS LOCKPICK ok he might be good after all
dedue: HE LOOS SO COOL WHOAAAAA I NEED YOU AND MERCEDES TO LEAVE THIS HOUSE IMMEDIATLY YOU’RE BOTH TOO AMAZING TO BE IN DMITRI’S HOUSE
CHURCH ROOM FELLAS/MISCELLANEOUS
alois: I know I ragged on him for his shoulder spike but I like him! I like his voice and he just seems nice :]
seteth: he certainly is A Guy. no outstanding opinions on him. mildly suspicious of him due to the sheer fact that he works with rhea. speaking of-
rhea: I do NOT trust her. jeralt literally told me to keep my guard up around her so I’m not trusting her for a second.
gatekeeper: he does a very good job of watching the entrance. keep it up pal I’m rooting for you
jeralt: sword dad!!!! he’s soso cool
hanneman: the scholar! not sure what else to say about him except he’s cool
manuela: not really sure what to put for here and hanneman since you already got my first impressions of them. she is certainly there.

『you’re dating him but he’s not your bias』
reaction fic; NCT Dream
A/N: this is nct dream’s reaction to realizing your bias is not him (and you’re a couple). gender neutral, got way too deep at some points and was NOT meant to be this long. enjoy.
note that english is my second language and i speak mixing slang, accents and spellings from 3283928 places so i did notice there’s practice written with both s and c down there so
just dont mind it pls
also, today’s photo theme is dream looking cute in low quality shots.
𝓖𝓮𝓷𝓻𝓮𝓼: fluff (♡), angst (❆), comedy (☼), crack (⍢).
𝓦𝓪𝓻𝓷𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓼: lots of swearing, my tough love for the neos, one mention of cheating that doesn’t actually happen, a couple of mentions of alcohol and drinking, some violence hidden in metaphors, me being chaotic, it got a bit more angsty and darker than i intended, but we do have all happy endings.
word count: 6.8K
pairing: nct dream members x reader ( includes mark, renjun, jeno, haechan, jaemin, chenle, jisung)

Mark
Tumblr media
oh, poor baby
i feel like he would be a little heartbroken 
just a little
not so much if it’s someone from dream, because they’re his little brothers, but if it’s one of his hyungs from 127 or wayv,,,,,
boy might cry
he’s not super dramatic about it or anything but i don’t see him as being super confident about himself
so he might think like
“do they think he’s cooler than me?”
and it’s silly, yes, he knows
but it’s just something that pops up in his mind sometimes when you bring him up
so for the sake of this fanfic let’s pretend you’re johnny biased
because gods know i am
at least when it comes to 127
mark would be divided into fanboying with you and being like “YO, HE’S THE COOLEST GUY ON EARTH OH MY GOD I’M SO GLAD YOU AGREE”
and
“a h”
<gives you a little tiny smile to cover up the sound of his heart breaking>
would constantly try to get closer to you when johnny is around, and just
showing off in little (kinda dumb) ways
complimenting you
being even more whipped than usual
like yes he’ll give you all of his watermelon slices just please don’t look at johnny like that again
i think johnny would kind of play into it with the whole “imma steal your s/o” thing
and he doesn’t do it to make mark jealous or hurt
we know he’d rather get hit by a train than ever actually upsetting his son on purpose
but we also know he’s johnny
cue “OH DUDE HE’S FLIRTING”
so yeah he might call you lil pet names (beautiful, cutie, you get it)
just to see you giggle 
(and see your soul leave your body)
might say he’s taking you out for dinner when he’s just driving you to get more ice cream for a movie night with the gang lol
and winks
expect a lot of winks
anywhere and anytime
which makes mark sometimes feel like he’s intruding???
and that you appreciate johnny more than him???
he genuinely doesn’t understand how you can date him and still not have him as your bias
don’t you like, love him above everyone else or smth lol
his “showing off” phase eventually fades tho
now every time you hang you with the boys and johnny is around, he’ll be a bit more distant 
he thinks he’s giving you space to interact with his friends but he’s just shying away from competing with one of his favourite people ever
and it’s a competition that Does Not Exist™
but he’s not 100% aware of that
and you’re not that dense 
so ofc you notice
and you wait till you two are alone to talk to him, and he BEGRUDGINGLY admits that you being johnny biased makes him feel kinda small and unimportant
he’d never try to make you change your bias or anything
he just needs reminders that he’s your #1 boy sometimes
which is fine by you
and by him
cus now it’s you calling him pet names all the time
and hugging him
and kissing his cheek
and praising his work
and blowing kisses from across the room
and just telling him straight up that no matter what, you’ll always go to him
(not that you ever had any chance with johnny lmao)
THIS GOES TO SHOW COMMUNICATING IS KEY, CHILDREN
COMMUNICATE
Renjun
Tumblr media
wym donghyuck is your bias lol
literally are you fucking kidding him
don’t get me wrong ok
everyone knows renjun loves haechan
they’re bffs and could not live without each other
but at the same time,,,
what is wrong with you
who did he choose as his s/o gods help him
if it was jeno, or mark, or jaehyun, or winwin, or kun, or lucas, or yuta, or taeyong, or ten, or,,,,
literally ANY of his other members
he’d understand your point and be like “ok fine”
but haechan???? hmmm bestie no
he’s not gonna throw a fit
not after the first time you told him anyways
HE WAS SURPRISED OKAY
and he just whined very loudly after having laughed for 5 minutes thinking it was a joke
<flashbacks of that one time he had to sing the ottoke song with haechan on weekly idol>
if you don’t know that iconic scene, renjun had a whole ass meltdown in 3 seconds while yelling “aAAAAAH JINJJAAAAA” and getting ready to punch the living shit out of hyuck
for no reason other than the fact that it’s haechan we’re talking about and injun’s little body is filled with rage
BACK ON TRACK
would probably try to act all cool about it and be like “i don’t mind” but bruh does he mind
and it doesn’t help that haechan is such a little shit about it
he doesn’t even flirt with you
he just
constantly reminds renjun that he’s your bias—not him—and then constantly praises himself over you
“ah, y/n~ did you choose me as your bias because i’m the best vocalist? or was it because i’m the best dancer? mAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE OF MY OH SO BROAD SHOULDERS—”
(pause for injun to punch him)
(unpaused)
and ok in the beginning it was funny seeing him all worked up but now it’s just annoying to be in the same room as these two
haechan won’t let either of you live
and renjun just wants to
fight
so it eventually gets to the point where you’ll talk to renjun and jeno will talk to hyuck cus even the other dreamies are tired of it
except maybe for chenle, he always laughs his ass off when they start bickering
ANYWAY
your conversation goes something like “oh my god renjun i’m literally dating you, i don’t like haechan better or anything you little pile of fury”
while jeno sits hyuck down in front of him and jaemin and just
“bro why are you like this”
“bro”
no but renjun would apologize for going overboard with his protectiveness and jealous energy because he’s not generally like that
he’s angry all the time but never about something involving you, you know
he tries his best to treat you like the royalty you are
but something about hyuck being your bias makes him feel a bit like a castaway???
he’s very creative and as an artsy kid myself i know we’re very prone to feeling left out because we’re just different from the others
so he’d think maybe haechan really has a better voice
or better dancing skills
or he looks better
he is taller than injun after all, and has broader shoulders, and his hair is all fluffy and—
the whole thing just made him insecure about things he had settled with himself long ago
he was fine with being him
but not so much when it came to that
i don’t think you two would fight over it cus tbh i think renjun would really only get with someone who can be very understanding of him
and i think hyuck would actually apologize to renjun too
not when everyone’s around but like, maybe after dinner or something and he just needs to feel like they’re besties again
hyuck never meant for things to get out of control
he just really likes both injun and you as his friends, and aside from skinship his most prominent love language is,,,
teasing
he was really just trying (very poorly) to grow closer to the person his best friend loves so much—you—because renjun is SUCH a big part of his life it would just feel wrong to not be good friends with you as well
don’t tell them i said this but they hug it out
injun strikes me as someone that could take a bit of time to bounce back from something that hurt his pride or his sense of belonging
and his way of healing and bonding is just,,,
art
sure, keep being haechan biased, but also please read with him
and talk about his fantastic animal creations
and watch those buzzfeed unsolved alien theory videos because he really wants to discuss it and maybe even draw what he thinks the aliens look like
hyuck tones it down, you make sure renjun knows you like him for him, renjun starts to (secretly) appreciate hyuck’s talent along with you...
and now let’s take a moment to imagine the minute you watch their latest mv with injun by your side
and yes okay the first thing you see is CLEARLY how good renjun looks because holy fucking shit he’s an angel (and i’m clearly not renjun biased)
but then,,,,,,
wAS THAT A HAECHAN HIGH NOTE
(there’s always a haechan high note, just look for it)
and ok maybe he did scream a bit with you because of how good it all sounded
and you know what, it works out perfectly bc you two are my new otp and you were meant for each other
but we do have to mention the eventual happening of chenle saying like “oOoOoOoH y/N wErE yOu dRoOliNg oVeR hAeChAn AgAiN” after a special stage
and then you, injun and hyuck all attempt to choke him
i’m kidding
or not
Jeno
Tumblr media
ah, lee jeno
aka samoyed boi
yes i do call him that no i will not stop
everyone is always writing jeno as being super protective and literally about to burst a lung if someone else ever does as much as look at you
but i just 
don’t see him that way
he’s a taurus and from what i know about taurus they can be v v jealous, yes, but they mainly seek comfort
so he’s fine with you biasing jaemin
as long as you’re not ditching him or anything lol
and ok, imma be 100% honest here even if it sounds like literal no fun (jenojaem wink wonk)
jaemin doesn’t flirt with you
not any more than he flirts with
every other breathing creature
ever
he’s really only platonically interested in you, never remotely romantic or anything lol
on the other side, he is in love with jeno
basically, if jaemin is your bias, jeno is his
so nothing really changes
we know how nomin are, okay
they hold hands, they stare deeply into each other eyes, they nearly kiss at least once every time they go live
it's just them
you gotta respect it bruh
i know this is the most boring reaction ever so let’s create the one (1) instance where jeno would actually dislike that you bias someone else
i think he would feel a bit hurt if you seemed to be more supportive of jaemin’s work than his
and it’s not something big or on purpose
it’s just something like going with him to a recording session but not going with jeno because you have homework
or after a very busy practise day going to praise jaemin first
even if it’s just three words
“you did good”
and then you’re going towards him, he’s gonna feel like maybe he doesn’t deserve your praise as much as nana????
i actually feel like, among the dreamies, jeno is the least confident one when it comes to his performance
he knows he’s not an awful rapper or anything but i think it can be a bit too much, being around such bright and huge presences like the others while his nickname literally means “no fun”
his members are just so loud and full of energy most of the time
and sometimes he just really needs to be quiet and observe in silence 
(yes i do know he’s chaotic and a crackhead, i’m just saying as we know he can be a bit introspective)
so what if you just
stopped seeing him?
did he become invisible to you?
did you finally fall for jaemin’s beautiful smile and stupid pick-up lines?
he’s not gonna let it show that he’s affected, though
earth signs are nearly always the ones to “stay strong” because we have this image that people are relying on us???
so we do what we do
bottle everything up and overwork ourselves bc we only got two modes
1. chill, super balanced and down to earth (ay for the pun)
2. please make us take a break we’re literally about to cry if we work for one more minute but we can’t allow ourselves to fucking take it easy
so yes you’ve guessed correctly, we’re going with 2
jeno is going to go so, SO hard on everything he does 
literally every single activity you can think of from dance practice to photoshoots to cooking for the dreamies
he stays up later than usual to get that one tricky move in the choreo just right
he works out more because he thinks he has to look absolutely perfect for when they shoot the mv
jisung asked for ramen? he’s making it but you bet your ass he’s spending over 40 minutes just chopping so
many
vegetables
AND STUFF THAT JISUNG WON’T EVEN EAT
but he’s doing it anyway for the reason being that it just has to be the Best™
and it’s not like he’s competing with anyone else to be diligent
this is just about being better than he was and showing himself—and maybe you—how painstakingly hardworking and driven he can be
maybe then you’re gonna acknowledge him as much as you acknowledge nana :((
:(((((
writing this is making me downright sad, jeno is so underrated and unaware of his power UGH
and i need to point out this is NOT about making you change your bias from jaemin to him, this is solely about having you recognize his efforts, even if you already do
if you just thought jeno was like going off in work because it was asked of him to, jaemin would DEF notice and talk to you about it
turns out it’s a habit of jeno to go extra hard sometimes and he needs someone to make him take a break
so it goes down like you breaking into the practice room when jeno and jisung were practising
the first reaction is confusion
the second is oh hey babe how are you
third is
a-are you dragging jeno and his bag out of the door while screeching at jisung to order pizza and doughnuts for everyone??
yes you are and i’m proud of you
so jeno is still confused and making those cute “hUh” noises he does omg i love him so much
and you’re just rambling about how much of an amazing artist he is, and you love his voice, and he’s a fantastic dancer, and his expressions and gestures are on point, and he takes such good care of the dreamies and
he’s perfect
and he knows jaemin must have talked to you, and he feels so vulnerable to have you know how on edge he’s been
baby boy just needs some rest
and that’s exactly what you give him, with a bath full of those fancy bath bombs and flower petals and candles at your house/apt
then a quick sheet mask while you massage his shoulders and keep saying how much you genuinely admire him
the mask might be ruined cus he started crying out of exhaustion
after that’s been done and you’ve hugged for at least like 5 min nonstop, you head over to the dorms, where hyuck was in charge of setting up a blanket fort while mork and nana gather board games, jisung gets the food and chenle
well chenle just had to make sure jisung doesn’t forget to order for someone and doesn’t break like 10 plates trying to set the table lol
this is way longer than the others so imma wrap it up
make it obvious and loud that you see and respect jeno’s hard work and he’ll be alright again
and maybe make those game nights a weekly thing when possible, it would make him very happy
he’ll never again feel sad when you praise jaemin cus now he’s sure he does enough, and above all, he is enough
Haechan
Tumblr media
haechan = full sun
why would you ever bias someone when you’re dating the goddamned sun
does not understand
but also does not care that much
actually, one out of two really depending on who your bias is
if it’s one of the members he has that tom/jerry relationship with, prepare for so
much
complaining
and clinging
AND HE’D BE SO LOUD OH MY FUCKING GOD
donghyuck please stop screaming about doyoung not deserving to be your baby’s bias, it’s 2 am
on the other hand, if it’s one of the (few) members he,,,
adores with all of his heart and is not afraid to show it
ex: sungchan, jaehyun, taeil and yang2x
then you can bet he’s going to be right beside you whenever you feel like throwing a fit because he’s just so handsome and talented
IF IT’S MARK OSHDISJD
i’m going to write you as being mark biased ok? ok
i honestly don’t know if he’d feel more jealous of mark or of you
he loves you both
a lot,,,,
and he really doesn’t like it when mark blushes when you compliment him
and he doesn’t like it when mark literally just walks past you and you trip over your feet because bro tf u doing, that’s some embarrassing shit
lowkey done with you two
but also PAY HIM SOME ATTENTION
or don’t, he’s fine either way (cue crossed arms and staring at you from across the room until you come give him a kiss)
“he’s pretty cute but i’m cuter right baby”
pouty pouty pouty if he ever feels neglected
will be so fucking annoying lmao i can’t write haechan, i love him but i do understand why renjun is always trying to beat him up
he’d be a show-off in a different way than mark because he can be so petty
will take every chance he gets to pull a one-liner
will sing everything he has to say just so you know he can hit those high notes
what do you mean dream doesn’t have a schedule today
oh man, he could swear they did
because that is the sole reason why he’s wearing his most expensive clothes and shoes + makeup to walk around the dorms, yes
no he doesn’t want to impress you
shut up
will text you like every single fancam he sees on twitter
every
single 
one
and are they mark’s?
lol no, they’re his
he is so genuinely trying to make you a member of his sunflower cult 
<whispers> “tell me i’m your bias” 
“donghyuck what the actual hell why are you standing at the end of my bed in the middle of the night like a fucking demon child”
he really wants to act all cool and composed but he wants to be your bias so fucking bad
he’s a bad bitch all around and just does whatever
cus haechan privilege
and he tends to not care about what people say and think???
bc he knows he’s lee donghyuck
he’s fully aware of the effect he has on people
but you
not biasing him
naw, he can’t take it
will do anything and everything he can to make you say, JUST ONE TIME, he’s your bias
then you can go back to loving (his) mark
so for your sake, for his sake, for mark’s sake
just give donghyuck what he wants
i can promise he’ll keep being an ass no matter what you do
like yeah did you just buy him coffee and his favourite cake? well that’s sweet but iS HE YOUR BIAS YET
“aw babe thanks so much for taking a bullet for me but now please say i’m your bias”
if you still don’t do it, it’s time to be extra petty
will actually drop you for mark
his logic is something like: he can’t be your bias? pity, so he’s just gonna date him instead
and mark is mark so he has no idea what’s going on
everyone in 127 and dream finds this absolutely hilarious cus suddenly donghyuck seems to be doing his best to win over mark’s heart and i mean more than usual???? and he’s treating you like his bro????
<you leaving the dorms to go to uni or smth so you go to hyuck for a goodbye kiss> “no can do, i’m committed”
“i’m your partner”
“no that’s mark”
it’s not 100% a joke when i say i can see him getting down in one knee to propose to mark while making eye contact with you to
assert his dominance
and mark is just
“dude
what HAHAHA”
and you are so done, i’m so sorry you have to go through that bby
i don’t think there’s another way to fix haechan other than just admitting he was your bias for an era, or a comeback or something
like yeah with the other dreamies before him it’s bonding + healing time bc i wrote it all kinda angsty (lol sorry) but with donghyuck
no
“will you stop this if i say you were my bias during reload era”
“mark wasn’t in dream that era tho”
“yes i know”
i say he’s gonna take what he can get and now things can finally go back to normal
with the exception that something else comes along with hyuck being satisfied with you biasing him
he just has a full pass to fanboy over mark now too
what am i talking about?
new 127 mv is out
you: watching it beside haechan and going off about how pretty mark looks
him: going off even harder bc he’s whipped too
this is what a happy couple looks like 
but now i pity mark because he has you two idiots fanboying over him irl
savemork2021
Jaemin
Tumblr media
nana is just such a chill and fun guy
i can’t see him being actually jealous or anything if he finds out you bias someone else
and so the two of you become insufferable together
bitch, i’m telling you
he (ur bias) is not gonna have one peaceful day ever again in his entire life
cus you know the thing jaemin does where he just looks at someone doing some random shit and goes “oOoOoH sExY”
yes that thing
he’s doing it to your bias 
and you’re doing it too
and your bias probably wants to run away to some very far away land
PLEASE IF IT’S JISUNG
i’m not gonna write this whole thing as if you bias him but let’s just imagine
two fully grown people
pilling on top of poor, poor park jisung playing games on his phone
“URI JISUNGIEEEEEE
MWOYA, MWOYAAAA~"
i genuinely think he would avoid being around you two at the same time
cus individually he can handle it
like yes y/n please let me go this hug has lasted for about 4 minutes now
or oh hi jaemin hyung my cheeks hurt when you pinch them that hard
but when you two are together
bruh
a power couple not bc you two are v confident or some shit but bc you can and will be extremely affectionate towards anyone that comes too close
and now let’s talk about how it would be if you biased jaehyun
jaemin loves jaehyun
they’re 2jae
2jae are soulmates
therefore,,,, it’s also kinda hellish but in a different way???
bc 2jae are on the end of that spectrum about the neos that know how in love the entire world is with them
they’re too powerful
they’re aware of their charm and they do everything they can to rub it in our faces
so the flirting between 2jae and you would be insane
and i mean insane
insane as in even johnny is kinda disgusted tbh bc
they’re doing a photo shoot with the 23 of them for some shit, idk don’t ask me
and of course, you had to tag along
but oh my god you three, please stop calling each other sexy/hot in weird voices now, the staff is staring
there are def rumours the 3 of you are a poly couple lmao
jaehyun denies everything on social media (throwback to saying “no way lol” when we asked if he REALLY slept in the same bed as jungwoo)
but every piece of content there is of you and jaemin or you and jaehyun or just them is so ridiculously flirty
you can bet there are compilations on youtube like 
“y/n being in love with 2jae for 8 minutes heterosexual”
ok i was having way too much fun with that, moving on
i don’t think he’d ever be actually upset about you biasing someone else
he trusts you and treasures you a lot so he doesn’t see the problem in you also appreciating another one of his members
bc gods know he does
he’s a bit in love with everyone so why shouldn’t you be too lol
one time he would feel a bit blue because of it???
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
i think it’s possible he’d turn pouty or whiny or just kinda needy (not in a bad way, he just misses you) when he’s like
done with people
and needs some time away from everything
we know he’s an introvert, even if he acts very, very loud around the boys and it’s honestly just a matter of time until an introvert grows tired of being around humans
it depends on each person, of course, but there’s a 99% chance every once in a while he’ll start to feel too drained
and he’ll need a break to get his energy back
jaemin would probably want you around even when he feels like that, though
i see you being such a big source of comfort for him in a relationship
he enjoys taking care of people so please take care of him too
and for just this one day don’t talk about your bias that much, or don’t leave nana to go over to him to chat
and just cuddle him a lot
that will make him a smiley baby again
and then things are back to how they normally are
and by that i mean most neos hiding from you because they’re scared 
i don’t have a lot to say aside from that so let’s think about the neos that would be the most intimidated by your shared thot aura
dotae would be confused in different ways lol
taeyong would be just ????????????blush/awkward smile/hahaha??????
and doyoung might actually ask what is wrong with you
<points to jeno and his s/o> “why can’t you be like them”
mark would laugh-scream and slap his knee into oblivion whenever you two are cornering him
but then go super shy and be like “dUDE DON’T DO THAT”
resident confident gay jungwoo would rejoice in the attention and make so many goddamned jokes
a literal comedian i love him
i think sicheng and renjun would be on the same wavelength of repugnance towards you lol
chenle would deadass call you weird and tell you to leave him alone
shotaro and kun might faint (or kun will panic-scold you)
taeil is as confused by affection as usual (have you seen the face he makes when haechan kisses him LMFAO he’s smiling but like wondering wtf happened on the inside)
ten is not very amused but might play into it
yangyang: that’s disgusting, man (cue flashbacks to that live with renjun after the from home stage where renjun pretended to lick his hand and slick his hair back,,, catboy injun,,, you know the one)
xiaojun and hendery are such panicked gays they just turn to stare at whoever else is around and make that “help” expression like they’re on the office
haechan is haechan, kinda doesn’t mind it
jeno is used to dealing with this at this point
lucas and yuta love the attention but while yuta will flirt right back lucas is just gonna smile and try to jop his way out of there while screaming
sungchan will go hide behind haechan and say “hyung they’re being dumbasses again”
this turned into ‘how would nct react to you and jaemin being super flirty together’ and i’m not sorry
Chenle
Tumblr media
chenle is so fun to write i love him lmao
okay so
he doesn’t strike me as the possessive type with anyone other than jisung (bc i swear he can be a bit jelly towards his bestie but i think it comes with sungie being the sweetest bean ever, he’s just protective)
he’s such a ray of sunshine and witty jokes and dolphin laughter i love him
back to the plot
he literally couldn’t care less about you biasing someone else
b u t
i will say there’s an exception
this exception is tall, kinda lanky, very awkward and born on the 5th of february
you’ve guessed it, it’s jisung
i think most of the time he’d tease THE SHIT out of you for it because c’mon
you had 22 chances not to mess up
and you still somehow ended up biasing jisung? lol do better next time
and this is not me and chenle hating on jisung, please—
he’d just find it funny that your bias is his best friend and
hold the fuck up
your bias is his best friend
oH NO NO NO NO NO
i think after realizing that he would lowkey try to keep you two apart because he’s somehow jealous of both????
and if he can’t help it then you can bet your ass he will be screaming all along
it’s his sweet, dummy jisung
with his sweeter and dummier y/n
what is he going to do
probably has a mini-breakdown with kun because like he’s always wanted you two to get along bUT NOT LIKE THAT
kun will just sigh like the tired father he is and pet his back while saying “there, there”
and a genius idea is going to come to chenle’s mind
you know the teasing thing?
well it’s upgrade time
he’s gonna turn into such a try-hard with tmi and embarrassing shit you two have done
and he’s not trying to stop you from being friends
he just wants you to like
know who you’re befriending
bc i think since he’s really really close to jisung, he doesn’t want you getting closer to him bc you like his idol side alone
and he doesn’t want jisung getting close to you just because you’re his partner either
if you had high hopes for each other and ended up kinda falling face-first into the ground bc it was nothing like you had imagined—
he’d be so broken
because he loves you so much :((((
so like, if you can get past the teasing and annoying barrier he’s putting up, he’ll be more than happy to have two of the most important people in his life being buddies
so get ready for it
if you’re the type of person to go batshit crazy when you drink, oh boy, oh boy
so you and the dreamies are just having dinner when lele feels like it’s the perfect time to disclose some of your drunken adventures
“hey y/n”
“yeah babe?”
“remember that time you got really really drunk on vodka and candy and wanted to call your mom”
“chenle the hell don’t talk ab—”
“but then you tried using the microwave as a phone”
“...”
“...”
“or that other time you were equally as drunk and watched the make a wish mv and cried because you noticed the height difference between xiaojun hyung and lucas hyung”
yeah so now’s the part you get up to chase him around the dorms and try to land a kick
BUT WORRY NOT, HE’LL MAKE SURE TO EMBARRASS JISUNG JUST AS MUCH
he likes doing that when it’s just the three of you though
so picture this
movie night the girls boys
chenle would 100% pick the most terrifying horror movie he can find so that he could see jisung clinging to whoever’s closest to him
and then right before a jumpscare, he’d whisper like
“jisung”
“w-what”
“why don’t you do that thing you were doing while you slept last night”
(honestly, i’d be mildly scared if i heard lele say this with no context at all)
and then the jumpscare happens and jisung is nearly fainting and crying at the same time
but chenle is laughing
and trying to get out what he wants to tell you between wheezes
“he-he” <dolphin wheeze> “hE WAS SINGING CHEER UP BY TWICE WHILE SLEEPING” <more wheezes>
and look this is just gonna go on for weeks until you and jisung are over it
and stop being weird and awkward around each other
lele needs you two to be bros ok
so be bros
once you do adapt to being pals with your bias i think chenle would take the teasing down a notch just to make you more comfortable
and like he’s so happy now the three of you can hang out and there’s just no tension
happy chenle is the thing i love the most i swear to gods
and if you don’t adapt to it?
well,,,
i honestly think he’d be pretty disappointed, cus it means to him one of you isn’t ready to fully embrace the weirdness within????
and like what u scared of
jisung is a weirdo, what about it, so are you
either that or he’d think you’re maybe being judgemental
so yeah please accept jisungie and your dumbass boyfriend
then everyone can be besties
i love thinking about the three of you as just this hellbound chaotic trio
because chenji already wreak havoc wherever they go as the two of them
but now that you’re coming along,,,,
no neo would escape from your pranks ever again (and even members of other groups lmfao watch out sehun, i’m talking to you)
and it’s so incredible infuriating in a good way that it just turns to be endearing
you’re cute as fuck so no one gets actually mad with the shit you pull????
which is dangerous, someone should really keep an eye out on the three of you 
we don’t need sm to be on fire
well we kinda do cus they’re pretty bad but not my point
i said somewhere above that chenle would tone the teasing down but i don’t mean he’d stop
bc c’mon guys
he’s chenle
no limits here
but sorry, i really cannot write jealous!chenle cus his heart is just too pure and filled with joy for him to be jealous for real
last scenario?
chenle after a comeback stage: ya y/n, i was gonna ask how was my performance today but you were probably more focused on jisung’s arms right
jisung is choking on water somewhere behind you
Jisung
Tumblr media
it’s maknae time <plays i.n’s maknae on top>
i don’t mean to picture jisung as being like
ridiculously innocent or just downright naive because i really dislike it when people do that
he’s a literal 19 yo and jaemin himself has said he’s not as innocent as we think lol
however
i do see him as being quite new to all things love 
i think you’d probably be his first partner and with first relationships comes a lot of other firsts
first kiss maybe, first time holding hands, first time being jealous….
first time being jealous, yes, focus on that
i don’t think jisung would be aware that like
you not biasing him is even a possibility
cuz you’re dating
doesn’t that come along????
ah poor baby i love him
if you biased chenle i think he’d be just
disgusted and weirded out but okay?? you do you i guess???
he’s comfortable enough with lele to not feel intimidated
but if it’s another member
ESPECIALLY one of the oldest ones
i think it would be a blow straight to his confidence 
you biasing ten, kun, taeil, taeyong, doyoung or johnny and maybe yuta would make him feel a bit hesitant and concerned
his first thought would probably be that you don’t like being with someone as young as him
and who knows, maybe you’re even younger than him, maybe you’re the same age, but what if you actually like older guys??
what about him then???
and jisung doesn’t mean to feel so worried and insecure, ok, pls understand where i’m coming from
first relationships normally take like a very long time to build trust and acceptance of the other person’s feelings bc it’s literally a whole new world for you
and that goes extra hard for jisung because he is so fucking whipped for you it’s still hard to believe you like him as much
and it absolutely does not cross his mind that you’d cheat on him with your bias, GODS NO
he really respects you and his hyungs 
so no, never
that’s not a thing that can happen
but you realize you’re too good for him and maybe see he doesn’t fit your ideal type?
well, yes, that’s what he’s thinking
probably goes straight to chenle or renjun (he talks about renjun so much asjahj) to vent and ask for advice
i think they’d be surprised to see what’s going on inside his pretty little head because it’s so obvious for everyone that you just adore jisung
and they do tell him that
however, i don’t think it would completely calm his nerves, and again, this has nothing to do with not trusting you
it’s just that
his hyungs are so cool…
HE CAN’T HELP IT OK
would probably try to mirror your bias (i’m saying it’s taeyong for the sake of what i’ve imagined ok) and like
grasp onto some of his qualities?
so in his mind taeyong is: nice, sweet, caring, amazing, perfect, smart, perfect, sexy, mature and did i mention perfect
i can see him trying some new rap styles that mimic tyong’s a bit???
like would lowkey learn his raps from cherry bomb and superm’s one and listen to recordings frequently to pick up on how taeyong does it
i think he’d also just change the way he acts in general to dodge a bit from his maknae image
so now he tries to speak with a more formal-ish language and learns random facts about things you like to seem more intelligent???
“good morning y/n, you look as beautiful as one of voiello’s paintings today :]”
“wait i thought that was a pasta brand”
he’s just trying to show you he can be mature and serious if you want him to
long story short, he’s not acting like himself (not that he’s childish, he’s just out of it) and you don’t like it, so you ask about it and wait for him to feel comfortable with sharing
when he does talk about it breaks your heart so much :((
you’re going to need some patience to try and show him you’d choose him, and not your bias, even if you had the chance
they’re completely different people and you love him BECAUSE he’s jisung, not for any other reason
please reassure him so he can go back to acting like his authentic self, i think it would be such a relief for him too
your words and affection are obviously enough for him, but if it ever happens that he feels especially low and insecure again, it would help if your bias talks to him too
and taeyong wouldn’t have a problem with it
actually, scratch that, taeyong probably knew what was going on all along
he just has that motherly 7th sense (ay) that is even more acute with the dreamies cus like 
127 has him, wayv has kun, but dream has…
the dreamies
and that, my friend, is terrifying
anyway he’d come to talk to jisung asking like “what’s wrong buddy :(“ and sungie would be a bit ashamed because it sounds so silly when you say it out loud
of course tyong wouldn’t judge him, and he just really has to tell jisung what is it you and he are always talking about
it’s him
“when they come around to talk and hang out here it all goes back to you, jisungie. they can’t spend one second without mentioning your name
it’s so cute; it’s always like ‘oh jisung would love this’ or ‘jisung likes it that way’
so please be kinder to yourself and let yourself see that they’re in love with you, not with me and not with any other member they ever mention”
jisung would feel 10000000% better
and smiley
and giggly
and oh my god do you really talk about him that much
LOOK HE’S BLUSHING
would just go over to your house immediately and hug you, burying his face on your neck from behind you
and not let go
ever again
the whole situation just teaches him a lot about accepting your love for him and not questioning it 
shut up i’m not crying
---
final notes: this was my first work after the humanity series and it was so fun lol i think next up is probs gonna be an ideal type scenario for ot23 (but if i really write it i’m gonna post it by subunit and its gonna be way shorter than this, don’t expect 23K words at once lmao)
if you’ve enjoyed this fic please consider reading my humanity series, which is a zombie apocalypse au with kun <3

🎫 here’s a gush pass :3 feel free to gush about whichever f/o you want, however much you want, then send this ask to 3 other selfshippers >:3c
(@rose-wine-selfships 🌹🍷✨)
Ahh! A gush pass??!! 😳🎫 @rose-wine-selfships thank you! Better late than never right? 🥺💖 ahh!
Am going to gush on the best two fictional loves of my life if you don’t mind? 🥺 I love Atsushi so much and I want to talk about my dear Jason too! 🥺🐺🐯 I hardly do and he deserves some nice spot light too ! For those that don’t know him to well! 🥺
Come and hear my rambling under the read more ≧ω≦
Mi Tigre! Mi amore! He is such a mood and such a vibe! I love his overall person, his design, his personality, his sweet and beautiful kindness towards people who have gone through similar situations as he had and his just can’t help but want to save them from such fates. He wants the best for all those he cares about and how he believed for a long while that if he can safe others than it would be enough proof for him to continue living. Even at the cost of his own life and I just (ಥ﹏ಥ) nooo my love please,,,
It’s kind of scary how much I resonated with that… not gonna lie, I’ve always had such a mentally too to an extent when I was younger, heck even a bit now but not as drastic as my younger self thought… (then again Digimon college Au definitely tells me otherwise… ;;w;; ahh anyway),,
Atsushi has definitely grown so much and is still learning to better himself! I believe that in this new environment of being with good people of the Agency, he will continue to develop and get better. Being surrounded by a found family that cares and loves his well being, will boost his confidence! And soon he will be truly an amazing mentor towards a future main 👀 watch the manga end the way it started with Atsushi saving someone who was in a similar situation 🥺 of course not the way Dazai did 👀 but it will be a full circle 🥺 like just envision an older!Atsushi in Dazai’s place of saying his name, “My name? Nakajima, Nakajima Atsushi!” 🌅 hdkahdkalfkaldhlasads not gonna lie I just want to see older Atsushi rocking his confidence and growth 💖🥰
Tumblr media
Overall, I don’t think I’ve ever come to love such a main character before? The way I resonate with him makes me all warm and fussy and has allowed me to see,,, a lot about myself and reflect on it better. His path to healing isn’t linear, it’s been a constant up and down motion 🥺 I really don’t want to see him encounter more bad things ;;;~;;; but I know it’s to progress the story and for him to get better; but please Asagiri-sensei, don’t be so bad on him ;;0;;
I love mi Tigre so so much UwU he truly my source of comfort and love daydreaming of sweet and silly romantic things with him 💖 the ideal relationship and try to definitely lift myself up in anyway I can with him, especially during my depressive moments. Which happens a lot especially when it comes to comparing myself to others ;;w;; it’s a terrible thing and I swear I break my own heart so many times a day,,, but I know despite it all Atsushi loves me entirely because I am me, there is none other like me 🥺 all his kisses warm my soul ♥️(*´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥﹏°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ )人(´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥`)
Tumblr media
Now!! TO MY PRECIOUS GENTLE STORM, MY RAIN, MY DEAREST MATE 🥺‼️🐺🌧
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aghddkjahdkfkaljddj!!! The best boi, the best oc I love so dearly like! 🥺 Jason “Jaystorm” Grey! He is my own fictional OC that I created sometime in 8th grade I believe? About 2010! So almost 11 years I think!
He has dealt with a lot of my creative mind and just pure high school into college anguish ;;;w;;; my gentle storm hasn’t had the best life, in either Au or actual story he’s in. Legendary Wolf Warrior’s story, he and his later sister where born from an affair situation. While not much suspicion was raised with him, he later had to endure a lot of traumatic events in his life.
Tumblr media
First, with his older brother leaving him behind to deal with his alpha father’s (older brother’s biological dad) anger.
Witnessing his actual dad (Jason and Lula’s dad) get murdered in cold blood, right in front of him, believing it was his fault for him trying to run away with his brother.
Become physically and mentally abused by his alpha, who was trying to shape him into something worse under all this abuse.
Witnessing said alpha, murder his mother for supposedly sending away his sister through a river. And because of the affair she had that birthed him and his sister. Who’s fate is unknown to him for a long, long time until they are much older.
Tumblr media
And then the aftermath of standing up to alpha’s abuse and fighting back for all the years of torment he was put through. Gaining his powers of the Storm in the process. But Jason, bless him, never wanted to be the one to kill him, he just wanted to leave of his own accord, but this terrible wolf that raised and abused him wanted to fight and kill him for trying to leave.
Because of this, he is often plagued with nightmares and believes he sees him in the far distance for a long while after he travels on his own. The mental and emotional abuse staying with Jason for a long while. Even after when he arrives at the Forest of Dreams, being the last warrior to arrive of the seven that exist.
He has no control of his powers for a long time, sometimes drawing storms with the slightest anger. He had no idea how to fight without almost killing someone else in the process. Jason had so much guilt and fear of losing control of this higher power he possessed, even scared of losing the other warriors because of his lack of strength and skills at them. They, who have had their powers for far longer as younger pups.
But of course he has them too, despite his insecurities and fears, the others help him and show him how to better control such a power, especially at his age. They don’t turn him away as he worried so much, they train him and tell him to control his emotions that cause a major melt down of his powers.
Danielle especially (me in that sense UwU), who understands what it means to let one’s emotions get the best of them, helps him find his balance and most especially helps him talk about his past.
He definitely says it so nonchalantly, never realizing how bad his life was for a long time. Actually believing most alpha’s in wolf packs led with such a tyrannical stance. More than surprised by Dany’s father’s lead and his genuine kindness to others and other animals around the Forest of Dreams. A lot of it is due to the abuse of his own alpha and how his mind was filled with such negative things, especially about himself.
Tumblr media
Jason does feel like an outsider most of the time, even more so than some of the other animals/humans who lived similar lives, but especially because of his powers. But he grows from when he first arrived in FoD, he learns to socialize more, how to hunt and give to the forest, how live a life of his own and not be ruled over by past influences. He looks back on his younger self a lot and reflects on how he wished to save that young version of himself from so much.
But he has in a sense, by living on his life and being everything his alpha never was and tried to instill in him. He has a new family, one that is genuine and true and would never leave him despite the terrible things that happened. 🥺🌧
Jason is my best mans, the best boi that deserves the world and much peace. Many think the Storm power for him is kind of odd considering his pretty pacifist nature and gentleness. I think it fits him perfectly anyway 💖🌧 he is pretty similar in Digimon Au, though most of his strength and growth is him and his experiences and also the voice encouragement by his Digimon, Raiwolfmon. Even so, he is still a dear and precious person, nothing like the terrible “father figure” that raised him. He is all his own and so much better.
Tumblr media
Well I’ve talked for too long 👀🥰 I hope you enjoyed my gush ramble on the two loves of my life! 🥺💖🥺💖🥺💖 I love my Atsushi and Jason so much and this gave me so much time to reflect on them, especially Jason 👀♥️ he is the best boi and love him so much in private a lot UwU but hopefully I can do more DanyJay things 💖🥺🌧🥰
Thanks again for the gush pass rose! 🥺 sorry for the long wait too UwU, bless you! 💖♥️🥺♥️🥺♥️💖 and excuse my rambling and maybe confusing spasm speak to explain things ;;w;; by all means I’m here to answer all the questions 👀😳

Lightened Shadows Chapter 2
Tumblr media
AU: Final Fantasy 4
Tag list: @xsunnyhoseokx @otomehideout-indecentconfessions @file-missing​ @risefallrise​
Rating: M
Potential Triggers: Pretty descriptive fantasy violence this time around(boss fights will hopefully always be this well written; I’m real proud with how the scene came out so I hope you like it). 
Pairing: Ever-evolving :)
Genre:  Drama, Romance, Angst, Fluff, Hurt & Comfort
Length: 6.2k+
The air was cool from the little you could feel thanks to your armor but you knew it’d heat up quickly thanks to the sun. Thankfully, it hadn’t risen too much given how early it was. 
“Shall we stop in town first?”
Yoongi stopped you as you turned in the direction towards where the cave you needed to go through waited with a gentle hand on your arm, your armor clanking at the contact.
“Hm? Didn’t you say you already got provisions just this past nightfall?”
He smirked sheepishly and shrugged.
“I may have forgotten in the midst of the men celebrating my victory in our spat. Apologies. Shall we?”
You nodded, barely holding back a sigh. 
‘As if I don’t feel bad enough. Now I have to go get supplies and probably scar a few children in the process with my intimidating appearance. Spectacular.’ 
You entered the quaint little village just diagonal to the castle gates and looked around, trying to go through the brief list of what you needed in your mind. 
‘It should be a short expedition; 2 days at most, 3 if we stop to pitch a tent after delivering the ring to get their explanation once you entered the village.’
 You were sure you wouldn’t be welcome there for long. The town of Mist was known for little else than their reclusive nature and had never been particularly fond of those that hailed from Baron, so perhaps best you purchase one just in case they wouldn’t let you stay at the inn as you feared.
Yoongi led the way to the item shop and offered you a wave as he ran off somewhere; probably to attend to some last-minute errand he’s forgotten about. 
“How can I help you today, my Lady?” 
It was a quick transaction; you luckily had plenty of gil to spare thanks to the 500 gil provisions the King’s guard had insisted you take, along with 5 Potions and a Phoenix Down should the worst come to befall one of you in battle. You bought one more Phoenix Down for good measure in addition to that Tent and exited looking around to see Yoongi’s distinctly teal armor. He’d always hated that ugly green the other Dragoons were forced to wear, so he’d had Jin help him create his own armor once he'd been promoted to Captain.
Having experience building airships was surprisingly helpful in creating armor that could withstand some damn mighty blows apparently. 
You exited the shop looking around for Yoongi carelessly as you walked through the town, trying to not draw any attention to yourself; only to look down in surprise at a sudden banging from your armor being hit repeatedly. A small boy was there, angrily pounding on your armor with tears streaming down his face. 
“You took my Daddy away!! I hate you!”
A wince graced your face behind your mask and for once you lowered it, kneeling to the boys’ height and gently restraining his hands firmly in your own. You had no choice but to take many people to the guards if they happened to be foolish enough to run into you. It had been one of the ways you’d rose in rank so quickly; catching criminals. But...it never made it any easier to see the carnage left in the wake of your actions. 
“...I’m sorry. I know there is naught I can say to soothe your pain, but all I can do is apologize. I had a duty to fulfill, and I did as was necessary.” 
The child sniffled, but the hatred once in his eyes had died down to a mere simmer. 
“You don’t seem so mean. Please miss...I just want my Daddy back. Mommy said he’s served all his time; can’t you get him for me? I promise I’ll work doubly hard to ensure we’re never poor enough to have to steal again!”
He seemed so proud, puffing his chest out, and as you released his hands he placed them on his hips in a show of how strong he could and would be. 
A glance upwards saw his Mother suddenly rushing towards you both and the woman was on the floor on her knees, hands, and head both level to the ground at your feet. 
“Please Lady Captain! Forgive my boy! He means no harm!” 
Your heart clenched as you stood and the boy seemed distressed, seemingly coming to the conclusion that you were leaving as he grabbed onto your arm. 
“Miss, please! His name is Raisoro. Even if it's not today please at least look for him when next you return to the castle!”
You noticed Yoongi waiting as the crowd parted and knew you'd have to make this quick. He'd never been good with this kind of situation. 
You nodded resolutely, meeting the boy’s eyes.
"I swear it on my role as a Dark Knight…"
You met the mother's eyes too as your gaze softened behind your visor and you helped her to her feet. 
"And as someone who also loves another. I will check and return for you once I next visit the castle. I have a mission to do before that so it may take some time but-"
"Thank you Lady Captain! You're so gracious!" 
The mother was barely holding herself together at your words and you squeezed her hand briefly before you pulled away after a ruffle of the boy's hair and made your way to Yoongi who was looking on in solemn understanding. 
"...Dare I ask?"
"The boy's father has been in prison past his sentence, caught stealing food for his family. I promised I'd check once we got back."
Yoongi glanced at you from his place beside you as a chuckle escaped him. 
You felt your cheeks heat and huffed defensively. 
"What's so funny!?"
He shrugged with a fond smile as he shook his head. 
"Still too kind for your own good is all. Could have been a lie, an attempt to steal money, or a ploy to stir up rebellion in the town against the King starting with you by using a young boy but you responded so genuinely that even if that's what it was it backfired miserably."
He snickered a bit more, a rare sound to be sure for most but you enjoyed it nonetheless even as you blushed.
"It's my job as Lady Captain. I may serve the Red Wings but the townspeople are my concern too. I guess it probably seems silly since you're of the Dragoon branch, only responsible for protecting the castle and monster patrol.” 
His laughter died but you caught the amused smirk at his lips.
“All the better for me. People can be complicated whereas fiends are useful for little more than target practice and exercises to bring my jumps to larger heights.” 
You shoved him playfully with a roll of your eyes.
“Alright hotshot; that’s enough bragging. Did you do your little errand? I want to check in with Hoseok’s Mom while we’re here. You know how worried he can get about her when he gets stuck at the castle healing overnight.”
Yoongi seemed to hesitate at that but reluctantly nodded and let you lead him to the small house towards the center of the village where Hoseok’s mom had received her own home after Hoseok had received his white cape as proof he was a Baron White Mage. You knocked on the door and after a moment it swung open to reveal Hoseok’s mother. You smiled kindly, mouth guard already lowered out of respect even as she glared at you disapprovingly. 
“What do you two want!?” 
“I just wanted to check in on you. Hoseok wanted to ensure you were eating enough and healthy.” 
She huffed irritably and leaned against the doorjamb as Yoongi shifted uncomfortably beside you, causing her gaze to briefly shift to him before going back to you. 
“I’m doing just fine; no thanks to you. His Majesty’s recent behavior troubles me. I heard you and your boy there have been doing some just terrible things, under his orders or no. All I want is Hoseok to be safe from such gory acts and that’s your job as his lover.” The glare she gave Yoongi did not go unnoticed by you and you noted the way his whole body tensed and his mouth went in a firm straight line. “And that goes for any kind of hurt. Have I made myself clear?”
You maintained your amicable smile even as it felt like you’d just been speared through the heart. Your voice was unbearably soft as you responded, cursing the way it wavered. 
“O-Of course madam. I will protect him till my very last breath if I must. I would happily absolve any pain he has experienced or will in the future if I was only able, so he wouldn’t have to shoulder an ounce of suffering.”
She nodded and raised her chin in superior pride at your answer before she nodded curtly. 
“Good. Ensure your feelings forever remain so stalwart; as do your ideals or the world may lose one Dark Knight.”
With that, the door slammed shut, and the sting of her obvious distrust bordering on rejection cut deep as you all but stumbled away with Yoongi hot on your heels as you made your way through the little alcove at the back of the village to the river where you knew no-one would be. 
You were barely maintaining the lid on your emotions but at the sight of your glassy gaze, Yoongi couldn’t withhold his ire and hissed through gritted teeth as he clenched his fists.
“Who does she think she is talking down to you like that!? Hoseok and you have been together for how many years now? 3?” 
He snarled as he whirled to grip your shoulders unintentionally being a bit rough, not that it made a difference thanks to the armor guarding your shoulders, careful to avoid the spikes. 
“She even dared to imply you of all people would be unfaithful. After everything you’ve been through with Hoseok and me, it just-” 
He inhaled sharply to try and gather himself and his eyes rushed to yours at your watery giggle. 
“Is something humorous?”
He certainly didn’t find any amusement in this.
You smiled weakly. 
“I just find this all morbidly ironic. I told Hoseok just last night how cowardly I was and it seems even his mother agrees.” 
Yoongi wrenched himself away from you with a hiss, eyes narrowing. 
“You? A coward? That is comical.”
“I knew you wouldn’t understand. I obeyed His Majesty’s orders without a second thought. I harmed innocent people-”
“Except they’re not innocent. You seem to be forgetting that. His Majesty explicitly said they knew too much of the Crystal and its secrets-”
“And what gives him the right to decide that!? It’s not our culture or our way of life!! We’ve been focused on technological advancement rather than the power of the crystals for decades...why now does His Majesty seem so intent on them!?”
You covered your mouth in horror at the treasonous words that escaped your lips, and Yoongi had gone eerily still as well before he quickly looked around for any potential eavesdroppers. 
Seeing none, he lowered his voice and frowned seriously at you once again placing his hand on your shoulder. You could see the weight of your words had made their mark from the grim look in his eyes. So it troubled him too. You always knew he was a good actor but his emotionlessness towards this subject, in particular, had admittedly made you feel isolated in your beliefs. Sure, you’d heard the rumors, but they hadn’t been raised by His Majesty as you had. Their opinion simply didn’t hold the same weight as Yoongi or Hoseok’s would. In any case, Yoongi’s low drawl of your name made your eyes lock onto his. 
“They were deceitful and thankfully His Royal Highness caught it in time before they began a rampage against the whole Blue Planet. Let us be grateful for that and move on. Yes?”
Hesitance shown in your eyes but you swallowed back the bitter taste of betrayal on your tongue and nodded. No time to wallow in any case; you had Hoseok to get home to. 
“Enough talk. Let us depart for Mist."
Yoongi finally seemed appeased and he watched as you raised your mouthguard once again though he didn’t comment on it as you both exited the little alcove at the back of the town, only for Yoongi to bump right into a familiar girl. 
“June! How’re things?”
You easily put on a mask of ease, though at the younger girl’s giddy grin you found it wasn’t difficult. 
“Oh, it’s been just peachy! You know Jin...always working! But he came home last night so to reward him I’m baking him his favorite pumpkin pie for when he finally wakes up.”
“He still hasn’t awoken? It’s only a little past dawn but I’ve seen him working well past this just last week…” 
Yoongi mused and you saw the twist of a smirk on his lips when you shot him a knowing glare. 
June huffed at that, shaking her head in disappointment. 
“I’m gonna wring that old man's neck one of these days, mark my words! He works too hard...we’re not that hurting for gil.”
Her last phrase was little more than a mumble but your hand was already reaching for your gil pouch before you could even consciously think. As if anticipating your movements though, Yoongi took a step forward, hand already outstretched with a small pouch, filled to the brim and neatly tied off. 
At June’s wide-eyed hesitance, Yoongi cut her off as she opened her mouth, no doubt to refuse. 
“You’d best take it before a pickpocket does. I’ll remain standing like this until the gil is taken.”
His voice was a low rumble, despite his words as he clearly wanted her to have it, not some thief, and all three of you knew even should he keep his word like you knew he would, he’d merely reclaim his gil and find some other way to give it to the family, perhaps by smuggling it into Jin’s biweekly wages.
June finally took the pouch, and you felt a little misty-eyed as you watched her throw her arms around Yoongi, taking the Dragoon Captain by surprise and making him stumble and fumble to return her gesture of affection with an awkward pat on her back. 
“Y-Yes yes of course, now just release me, will you? People are staring.”
He grumbled, and you were sure without his mask he’d be red as a beet by now. 
Yoongi grew serious, however, and gently caught June’s hand as she went to run off after thanking him profusely. 
“I want you to be sure you go right on home and hide that somewhere nice and secure. Only take what you need and then return to the markets. I don’t want you being targeted for fraternizing with the likes of us. And…” He hesitated but finally handed her something else you couldn’t see as he stepped into her space as he abruptly tugged her into a proper hug. 
“Take that as well. Use it only if you must.” 
He mumbled something else by her ear and then just as quickly pulled away. June looked flustered as well, a little nervous and as Yoongi rejoined you, you side-eyed him with a hint of mirth in your gaze. You were positive he could feel it and eventually after a minute of walking towards the exit he hissed only once you’d both been alone for several minutes.
“What?”
You offered a simple hum. 
“Hm? Oh, I’m just recalling a certain Dragoon mocking me not an hour ago for being too kind. Yet here you are, giving away money I know you’d been saving up for that new lance you wanted. You even gave her a weapon by the looks of it.”
Your voice quieted for that last part as you drew closer to him to whisper and he merely sighed in resignation at that. 
“Of course you noticed. Always so knowing, aren’t you? June deserves to eat. Did you not also happen to notice the flatness of her gil pouch? You know how much they’ve been inflating prices.”
You blinked at that in surprise.
“The item shop charged me the same rate as always. I had no idea…”
Yoongi snorted at that, cool and sarcastic. 
“Of course they would. You’re the King’s guard dog, they know better than to draw your, or my ire. But the townspeople? They are not so lucky. There is a reason people like that family who pleaded with you have had to turn to stealing and they are but one of many.”
“And here I thought I was knowledgeable on the way our people were treated...how do you know all this?” 
Yoongi shrugged. 
“My men have families here; unlike the Red Wings who’re typically born into the military, the Dragoons have always been expected to be enlisters. The practice may have died some with the passage of time but it is still a thing of the present and I asked a few of them to report to me. I pay them a little extra on the side and they know I’m not a turncoat despite being close to His Majesty. You’re the first one I’ve told, actually and I know well enough you’re as good for your silence as I.”
This new information made dread sit heavy in the pit of your stomach. First a degradation of the King’s morality, and now even Baron’s shopkeepers were turning against civilians? You froze for a moment and swallowed nervously. Your King. He was your king still. The just and firm but kind man who’d raised you into the woman you had become. Deep breaths. All would be forgiven and explained when you returned. You were sure of it. Yoongi had said so and he was always right. You just had to have faith. You and Yoongi reached the gate and you looked to him as you ensured your armor was tightened and your sword scabbard ready to give you access to your sword at a moment's notice. 
He too had done his checks and nodded at you, mouth now in a stern frown as he readied himself with grim determination for the journey ahead. 
After a shared nod at one another, you both stepped out into the overworld and began making your way to the Cave of Mist. 
The monsters had been gradually growing more and more feral as the years had gone on. Now they were violently beyond reason, willing to strike at a moment’s notice; including those who didn’t pose a threat. You remembered a simpler time where more docile monsters had been used to train even children, including yourself, Yoongi, and Hoseok. Now, it was a risk of death every time trade happened. Perhaps it was a good thing tensions were so high between the nations nowadays.
In any case, Yoongi and yourself were trained to fight and take out even the most intelligent of monsters thanks to being taught the ways of the sword and lance respectively by your King. Yoongi also had his father for a time to fall back on before he perished. Most monsters seemed to catch onto this and kept their distance from you both, but those either too foolish or too hungry to care still attacked. You remained unscathed, your armor keeping you safe from a particularly volatile Sword rat, the purple beast expelling it’s sharp spines your way. Even bringing up your shield, a few broke through your defenses and you couldn’t help your wince as they made contact with a harsh reverberation as they hit your chest and legs.
Yoongi took a risk and threw his spear at the beast and thankfully it cried out in pain before finally going limp.  He retrieved his weapon and shot a smirk your way, and claimed you’d owe him a drink once you returned to Baron.
That was the only incident you had come across until you reached the cave itself. Since most monsters knew better than to start a fight with you both, you hoped those dwelling within the Cave of Mist would have the same ideas. 
Oh, how wrong you were. 
The larvae and eyewing moths inhabiting the cave were particularly irritating. The moths liked to blind you and the larvae loved to use slow, only prolonging their inevitable deaths. Blind was always a pain to deal with; you both being melee attackers and all. Sure, spell casters and mages were affected as well, but oftentimes they could locate the monsters or other teammates thanks to locking onto their energy if they were fast enough. No such luck here. 
Still, you managed to take them out. However, something strange had occurred, twice now which was not to your liking.
 A voice had called out to you, ghostly and ominous, ordering you both to return whence you came. It had no discernable gender, but the lilt underneath the words made you guess it may have been female. 
Could this be the Eidolon you’d been sent to slay? 
Despite the constant feeling of being watched, the journey through the cave was not a difficult one and you sensed no malice from the entity. Not until you reached the cave’s exit in any case. 
“You are not welcome beyond this point, swine of Baron. Return to your castle and leave this place in peace.”
You frowned at that, ring sitting heavily in its own dedicated pouch at your hip and the image of Hoseok’s worried face in your mind. 
“We can’t do that. Please, I beg you allow us refuge. We have a mission we must see through!”’
“As do I. I take it you mean to refuse my plea then?”
The voice had gained an aggressive but defeated edge and Yoongi stepped forward, all cocky indifference. 
“We have given you your answer.”
“...Very well. Then you leave me with no choice. Forgive me.”
With that, the mist that had not aided your journey in the least began coalescing and you both drew your weapons in preparation. 
A pink scaled dragon had appeared in front of you, and you and Yoongi could both sense the difference in power compared to the weak monsters thus far. You’d used up what little Eye Drops you’d had in stock, and now only had 2 Potions after healing at the slightest injury earlier, thinking you’d had plenty. Luckily you still had both Phoenix Downs should one of you fall unconscious before the other. 
You shared a look with Yoongi and he nodded in understanding, before hopping up and continuing to move from rock to rock, trying to get as much height as possible to come down all the harder on your enemy. Not one to be left out, you turned your attention to the battle, knowing full well you were the only remaining target, and steeled yourself, letting dark energy surround you as you carefully fed just enough of yourself into your attacks to power them up while not causing too much physical damage to yourself. 
It still made you wince and caused an off sensation within your soul whenever you chose to use Darkness but the King always said the payoff would be worth it if the enemy went down. 
Said enemy roared in frustration and swung a large claw at you which you barely managed to dodge before slashing, watching as darkness coated the wound you’d left, seeping in and making it hurt all the more. Your eyes widened in surprise as before you could hop back the creature snarled and jumped, shoving you to the ground with its claws and holding you there as its face lowered towards your vulnerable frame. 
Yoongi couldn’t have chosen a better time to come, slamming down onto the back of the beast, spearing the Eidolon with as much force as he could muster. You watched as blood gushed, ignoring the confusion that hit you at seeing the substance to instead take its momentary preoccupation with Yoongi as it tried to bite him off of its back to get ahold of your sword and stabbing its foot to make it release you. 
It let out a wail of pain, and you knew you were close. Yoongi deftly hopped off and dragged you out from under the creature, tossing you a Potion before he unleashed a flurry of passionate slashes to keep the monster engaged and focused on him. You quickly slammed your mouth guard down and chugged the bitter liquid with a gag and a grimace, feeling the physical aching and the toll on your soul both fade as you regained full lucidity. 
You shook off your daze and felt the power of Darkness fade as fast as it had arrived. Better not to use it twice in one battle and from the way the beast had slowed it seemed the battle was finally coming to an end.
Yoongi was holding his own quite well; he’d always been the more nimble out of the two of you what with having to find the perfect openings to Jump and all and he’d already managed to push the creature back some so you could recover in peace. 
“Shall we finish this?”
He asked gruffly, panting. 
You nodded, but as you went to strike now that it was cornered it suddenly...dissipated into mist? 
Well, that just wasn’t fair. 
“You will pay for that…”
The ominous threat was made good on and you gasped as a snow-like substance slowly fell around you and Yoongi. You fell to your knees at the freezing cold that enveloped you. Damn. This was why you loathed magic attacks. No matter what armor you wore it mattered not. 
You saw Yoongi go down out of the corner of your eye and lunged with a cry of pure, unadulterated fear as the monster came into existence once again and made as if to strike him. 
Claws raked across your back and again, your armor or no, you felt the impact and the pain shortly after, even with the adrenaline coursing through you. You were both going to die entirely if you didn’t do something now. 
You tossed a Phoenix Down over Yoongi, knowing it’d take a moment for the bird of resurrections feathers to revitalize his life force once again, and stood defensively in front of him. A snarl turned your face to something ugly and you hissed at the monster. 
“You want him? Then you’ve got to get through me first!!”
Your cry clearly met its mark as the creature roared in ire at being provoked and you neatly dodge rolled to avoid being hit as it attempted to catch you in its claws, scrambling for your item pouch. You shoved the last Potion’s contents down your throat before you let the power of Darkness surround you one final time, ready to sacrifice whatever was necessary of yourself to ensure Yoongi survived. He wouldn’t have much HP left - that Phoenix Down would only get him conscious and all it would take was one good hit for him to go down permanently. Just as you narrowed your eyes in concentration and went to swing downwards, Yoongi let out an abrupt shout and finished his final Jump; using the last remnants of his own power to finish the battle once and for all before you had the chance. 
The creature roared, in agony this time, and you watched in cold satisfaction as it collapsed to the cave floor in defeat. 
Without so much as a look at the monster that had nearly killed your closest friend you ran over to Yoongi and forced his arm over your shoulder. 
“What are you-?”
“Don’t pretend you aren't barely hanging onto consciousness right now you idiot. I know how Phoenix Downs work. It may revitalize you but it’s only enough to get you off the floor unless you also have a Potion or more on hand.”
You began trudging to the cave’s exit, squinting into the dusk. 
“We’re making a tent for the night, understand? We’ll go to Mist at first light. You’re in no condition to do anything right now besides recover. I’ll take watch after tending to your wounds and you’ll go right to sleep.”
Yoongi chuckled under his breath until he was forced to cough in pain and you frowned in annoyance at him briefly as fresh air greeted you both. It was a welcome change to the musky cave scent you’d both been stuck with for the past many hours you’d been stuck there. That damn mist had definitely cost you time and from how dark it was outside, you’d been there at least half a day. You'd made good time, if nothing else.  
“What’s so funny?”
“You can be such a parent sometimes. I’m fine. Being knocked out happens in fights sometimes. Besides, I managed to save you, didn’t I? I’d say I recovered just fine.”
He muttered cheekily, his voice gruff from being drawn unwillingly out of his unconscious state earlier. 
You grumbled at that. 
“I had it under control. And anyway...it’s dead. That’s all that matters. The only thing left to do now is to give this ring to Mist and see what they make of it. Surely one of them must know, else his Majesty would not have sent us here.”
You gently set Yoongi down onto a grassy hill you’d found, spotting Mist awaiting you both at the bottom. You were a little winded from carrying his weight; like it or not you were smaller and still weaker than him when it came to straight strength. A quick glance around made you relax a little as you sat down as well, taking off your helmet and letting yourself gulp in the fresh air with relief. It really had felt stuffy in that damn cave. Yoongi meanwhile was stripping himself of his armor, and you nodded down towards where a stream flowed steadily into the town. 
“Don’t be afraid to go wash up a little if you’d like once you feel well enough to stand. We can go at dawn as well if you’d prefer, given we’ll be sleeping outside tonight and all.”
Yoongi leveled a glare towards Mist and grumbled as he ran a hand through his messy locks, brushing away the dirt from the cave clinging to his undershirt and pants. 
“It’d be nice if we could just go rest at the inn but I know that’s an impossible venture. Say…” 
He winced as he examined a few of his wounds, mainly scrapes, and bruises but he had a nice long gash on his arm and head bled a bit as well, most likely from when he’d fallen unconscious. 
You could feel your own body aching but tried not to dwell on it, instead rummaging around your item pouch and grabbing a small loaf of bread you'd stashed away and a handkerchief Hoseok always made you carry. A small fond smile twitched onto your lips at the thought of him and you removed your helmet to see better. 
Yoongi had turned his gaze to you curiously, expecting you to stay in your armor in the case of monsters but you sighed at his inquiring gaze as you stood and merely walked over to the log he was sitting on, kneeling in front of him and beginning to dab at his bloody forehead. 
"Silly Dragoon. When will you learn to stop putting yourself at risk huh?"
You pushed the bread into his hands, with your free one continuing to dab at his wound gently. 
"Eat. It'll help you recover faster."
"But what about-" 
"I'm not the one who got knocked out."
You yelped as he suddenly grabbed your face and tilted your head to meet his steely brown gaze. 
"...You'll eat half or I won't so much as touch it."
You groaned as you smacked his hand away, grumbling at him as you uncorked the only Potion you had left and spilled a little onto the cloth to dab onto the cut on his head, the ghost of a smirk tugging at your lips as he let out a hiss of pain and clenched his hand into a fist. 
"You're such a child sometimes. Fine, you big baby. Just eat, will you? Honestly, sometimes I wonder if I should've picked up White Magic as well just to make up for your recklessness."
Yoongi eyed you over the bread as you sat back and sprawled out on the soft grass and nibbled at your half. 
"Don't act like you're the paragon of strategy. I saw how you were going to foolishly put yourself in a critical state to try and take the Eidolon out. Armor off. I know you're injured too and we still have ¾ of this Potion left."
His eyes narrowed with a little playful sadism and you knew he was looking forward to tending to your wounds as well. 
You smiled with a tinge of nervousness and shook your head. 
"No, I'm fine rea-"
"I will come over there and tug it off myself."
"Y-You're too weak to!"
You challenged in disbelief, calling his bluff. 
His eyes sparkled again and a cheeky grin now adorned his lips as he moved to stand, causing you to squeak and scramble away from him as you fumbled with your armor. 
"A-Alright alright! Sheesh!"
His low voice snickered in amusement as you blushed and reluctantly tugged off the heavy armor pieces. They'd been dented something awful in that fight; you’d need to get it fixed at a blacksmith once you got back to Baron. Still, you had to admit having the added weight off of your tired body was a welcome change. 
You were indeed injured as Yoongi and yourself had both noted and you winced at the gash in your side, not having noticed that the Eidolon must’ve managed to graze your side with its claws, fairly deeply. Your black t-shirt was tattered, barely sticking to your body from sweat and a bit from the blood as well. Your head was pounding too, the cool night air alerting you to just how hard you must’ve hit your head as you went down. 
“Come. Shirt off; that looks deep.”
You jumped a bit in surprise at Yoongi’s voice right by your ear, turning to frown at him over your shoulder. 
“I can take care of it myself Yoongi, you should rest.”
He stared you down until you caved with a huff and shucked off the remnants of your shirt. You made a good choice wearing your more flexible undergarments for activity today in anticipation of fighting. Made this all much more bearable, but Yoongi was resolutely focused on your wound in any case even so. You knew he wouldn’t lay down, let alone sleep until he knew you were at least taken care of. It warmed your heart that he cared for you so. 
That warmth faded to a whimper as gentle fingers brushed along the wound assessing the damage. 
“Apologies. Hm...Come. I want to clean this with water first. It’s deeper than it looks. It’s a good thing I brought that extra shirt with me after all.” 
You felt a little woozy truth be told, but you were still trying to keep yourself together. Yoongi had been knocked out after all. He had to be in worse shape than you. You had to be strong for him. 
Yoongi wasn’t buying it though. His gaze locked onto the way you swayed and when he saw you stutter a step as you went to start moving towards the stream nearby, he was quick to grab his shirt and rush to your side where he steadied you with a warm hand on your upper arm. 
“Idiot. How did you not notice you were losing this much blood?”
You laughed weakly, through the dizziness as Yoongi helped to guide you to the water. 
“Adrenaline is a powerful thing, as Hoseok says. I didn’t even feel it until you made me take off my armor.”
Yoongi growled at that, frustrated as he rushed to clean the wound, uncaring as you flinched at the icy water against your skin. 
"Well, we'll have to pray my actions are enough to keep you from meeting an early demise. I know you're strong but even you are Mortal."
The wound now as clean as it could be without magical help, Yoongi reached over for the Potion at his side and poured ¼ of the contents over the wound itself making you yowl in pain. 
He was too focused on his task to pay much attention, however, pouring the other ½ of the bottle onto his shirt which he pressed tightly to your side. He frowned seriously at you. 
"Hold it there, understand? I'll be back in a moment; I have to grab your armor piece. It'll hold the fabric tightly against the wound for the time being."
You meanwhile were trying to cope with the unbearable stinging. The wound had been deep indeed. You could feel the Potions remnants trying to stitch your body together, to slow the bleeding. It was working, however slow, but Ashura above it hurt. 
Yoongi returned after a time and you were surprised to see he was holding another Potion in hand. 
"How-?"
He frowned coldly as he crouched at your side and you registered he was now fully adorned in his teal armor save for his helmet which he'd taken off once he saw you. 
Your suspicion was confirmed when he wordlessly pressed a familiar earring into your hand. 
"You bloody idiot!!!"
Your voice was a poisonous whisper, not wanting to draw any sleeping monsters as you scowled at him and he numbly handed you the Potion. 
"Drink."
You shook your head. 
"I can't believe you went back to loot that Eidolon Yoongi.  What if you'd awoken a monster and-"
Your voice cracked and Yoongi sighed heavily as he saw angry tears make your eyes glassy. You could be so overemotional. You wore facades well around others but he and Hoseok had always been exceptions. You had no need to worry over him. 
"I'm here, alive and well, am I not? My wounds are light enough that a good night's sleep will be enough. But yours are more serious. I’m not risking losing you for the sake of your pride. Now drink or I’ll make you.” 
His voice lowered an octave at his last sentence and you glowered at him one last time before tossing the Potion back, wincing at the disgusting taste, but sighing in relief as your wound knitted itself back together, speeding up your body's cell regeneration a bit. It was no Hi or even X Potion, but it had sped the process up enough to be sure your body would be fully healed by tomorrow, and at least the bleeding had stopped. A touch of your head and you noted the tingling sensation had faded. Hopefully, any injury you had there had ceased to be as well. 
Yoongi had busied himself with attaching just the armor for your side into place so that the Potion soaked fabric would be held against your skin but he turned his gaze to you as he stood and stretched, once again discarding his armor. 
“Well; that’s enough excitement for one night. I’m going to go rest until we have to rise at first light.  Call if any particularly threatening monsters arise.”
You also stood, your own armor halfway back on as you gently called his name. 
“Yoongi!”
He paused, halfway up the hill. His hair was mussed from his rush to loot the Eidolon for your benefit; his long blond ponytail trailing behind him. Long hair has been a part of Dragoon culture for nearly as long as the profession itself had been. It was as characteristic to the culture as the Monks wearing it short, braided, or not at all. Yoongi had mentioned his father had explained that it was a demonstration of the freedom Dragoons symbolized and always fought for. He turned to look at you and his perceptive brown eyes locked onto your own. 
You smiled kindly, gaze sincere. 
“Thank you. I know I can be…” 
You sheepishly rubbed at the back of your neck. 
“A bit difficult sometimes. I appreciate it, and you.”
Yoongi scoffed but you could now clearly see his cheeks turning red in embarrassment before he whirled to finish his journey back towards camp to hide it. You still caught the fondness of his tone though, despite the playful words.
“Always so soft…”
You watched until you could no longer see him and turned back to your armor, finishing putting it on and tugging your darkened helmet over your head once more. Luckily the night was still with the only sounds you could hear being the stream beside you and the chirping of harmless bugs. The twin moons were both full tonight, illuminating the Blue Planet brilliantly. 
Nevertheless, you decided to do a quick perimeter check deciding your newly healed body could use the movement. It was a peaceful night and you heard the faint crackling of torches as you neared the entrance to Mist. You couldn’t help your curiosity as you watched a young girl run to the river, bucket in one hand and a cloth handmade doll in the other haphazardly sewn together. 
She seemed panicked and you faintly heard her voice carry to where you stood just beyond the tree line. 
���Agh I can’t believe I forgot to restock!! Mom’s gonna kill me!!”
She finally managed to get the bucket full but you winced sympathetically as in her rush she tumbled over the bucket and sent water spilling everywhere; soaking her to the bone. Just as you debated emerging to help, an older woman with the same hair and eye color ran out of the town and up to her, a worried frown on her lips. 
“Jenjia just what do you think you’re doing!?”
Her voice was much quieter you noticed thankfully; it would’ve probably been bad if any fiends had been awoken earlier. 
The girl, Jenjia as you now knew her, looked sheepish and beamed nervously up at her mother, clasping her hands behind her back. 
“I’m sorry Mom, I just realized we didn’t have any water to boil! You like to have your tea at night with Daddy and I forgot when playing with Cheryl earlier…” 
She scuffed her worn looking loafers on the ground as her mother shook her head. 
“Well then that’s a day well spent, isn’t it? I’d rather have my daughter home safe and sound than a cup of tea Jia. Your father will feel the same. Leviathan will keep our water flowing clean until tomorrow to refill the stores. Come along now; I’ve already put some beef stew on the stove and I’d rather it didn’t get cold.”
Your heart warmed at the gentle interaction even as a bitter twinge you didn’t want to acknowledge made your chest hurt. You had His Majesty, and that was enough. You never would’ve found Yoongi or Hoseok without him. You turned away as you recalled Yoongi and the girl grabbed her Mother’s hand to be led inside. 
Best you were on your way in any case; it wouldn’t be good if Yoongi woke to find you missing, or if a monster snuck up on your camp.
The rest of the night watch passed uneventfully and Yoongi awoke, as he usually did, at first light. 
You offered him a capful of water from your flask and he drank it gratefully. You’d used up all the food last night; you really should bring more than simple bread next time. Honestly, it had just slipped your mind...this was why Yoongi and Hoseok typically took care of provisions. You always managed to miss something. 
You fiddled absentmindedly with the new earring Yoongi had presented you with last night. It was common practice within Baron to claim trophies from particularly tough monsters and wear them as badges of honor. Typically; you felt pride in a kill and yesterday your mind had been preoccupied with panic and anger but now that it was the next morning you felt no joy, no sense of victory, There had been...no malice or hate that you typically felt from monsters. And it had bled too. It was...odd. 
Still, Yoongi had risked his life to get it for you, and King Odin would surely be pleased with the sight of it upon your return. Best to keep it on for now. 
You jumped as a pair of armored hands abruptly clapped in your face and offered a weak smile to Yoongi as he held out his hand to help you up. 
You grasped it, and he easily pulled you to your feet. 
“How are you feeling?”
You couldn’t help the worry seeping into your tone but Yoongi waved you off. 
“I told you last night I’d be fine and I am. I feel fit as yesterday before we’d even departed. Rest can often be even more healing than a Potion or Cure spell. Now then, shall we go? I’m sure you must be exhausted and the sooner we return home the sooner we can get you some much needed and deserved rest.”
You nodded at that, and after making sure you both had snuffed out the fire and that your weapons and armor were properly set you began your short trek to the gates of Mist. 
It was a tiny village you knew, unlike Damcyan, Fabul, Troia, or Eblan there was no castle, and even Mysidia was more bustling and lively than the few houses dwelling here. It was humble to be sure, but there was a peace and a sense of sincerity here that you doubted you could find anywhere else. 
You fingered the box holding the ring in your pocket, a bit nervous now that you were here. Baron and Mist had never had particularly good relations. You prayed that the King asking for their input would establish a rapport and help you maintain a good relationship. You lowered your face visor, figuring being able to see some part of you that was human behind your demonic looking armor would help put them at ease. 
As Yoongi and you both entered the village you noticed the civilians within already began side-eying you distrustingly and couldn’t help but wonder if word of Mysidia had already spread but quickly reminded yourself that that was impossible. After all; Troia was the only neighboring kingdom and they would’ve had to have taken an airship here just to inform them. A general lack of airships besides Baron aside, Troia was always neutral anyway and pretty much entirely isolated.
Guess tensions with Baron really were high then. 
You suddenly noticed a woman approaching you and recognized her as the mother from last night. Her daughter clutched at her skirt, observing you with curious if shy eyes. You smiled at her while Yoongi offered a respectful nod to the mother. 
“Good day ma’am we were just-”
His words were cut off by your pained yelp as you ripped the now searing box that held the ring out of its pouch. You’d been so preoccupied with calming down the young girl you hadn’t noticed the rising temperature until it was near scorching. 
“The ring!”
The box was rustling wildly of its own accord as it hit the ground, and Yoongi frowned deeply in confusion only to roughly pull you back several feet as he too jumped back. 
The woman too had shoved her daughter behind her and was examining the box before recognition lit her eyes. 
“This is-!”
Boom
The box exploded open and Bomb monsters hidden inside didn’t waste any time as they began setting fire to anything and anyone they could. In seconds the village was burning and the smell of burning flesh was everywhere. You could do little more than watch in horrified shock as smoke already was causing your eyes to burn at the spot the woman had just been. That initial violent opening of the box had scorched the poor woman...and her daughter you noted numbly, where they’d stood. The girl-Jenjia you reminded yourself, she had a name- all that remained of her was her doll, slowly burning away to nothingness in front of your very eyes. Suddenly, an abrupt realization hit you.
The bombs were carefully not targeting Yoongi and yourself.
You shook violently as words escaped your lips in hushed horror, taking in the carnage caused in the wake of your visit. It had to be a mistake, it had to. Yoongi would be truthful with you. You must’ve missed something. This wasn’t happening.
“This is what we were sent to do?”
Yoongi looked around with detached and grim determination.
“He wished this village torched.”
Tears streamed down your face and evaporated just as quickly, whether from the flames and smoke or the horror and disgust coursing through you; who could say? You trembled with rage and clenched your fists so tightly your already dented armor creaked a bit more from the force of it. 
“But why?”
You raised your head to the sky and let out a guttural raw of pure primal agony. 
“Why!?!”
Yoongi remained silent beside you, but you could feel the tenseness coming off of him in waves. This upset him too, you were sure. You numbly looked back down at the ground and it took you a few moments to register a new sound amid the now silent town besides the crackling of the fire and the creaking of buildings as they collapsed in on themselves. Destroyed in mere minutes. 
A young boy sobbing. 
You grimly raised your head and began walking towards the sound hearing Yoongi’s steady footsteps beside you. 
You came across a mint haired boy, hysterically gasping over a woman’s body. Luckily the child was beside the only water source in the town; a small pool which seemed to have kept the Bombs at bay. 
As Yoongi and you approached, he clung all the harder to his mother, not even noticing both of you. You barely managed to make out the words between his heart-wrenching sobs. 
“Mother you can’t die! J-Just because your dragon did!!” 
Yoongi’s eyes suddenly lit with understanding behind his visor and you turned to him in confusion as he nodded to himself. 
“I’ve heard of their lot. Men who can conjure Eidolons...Summoners.”
It suddenly hit you and you mumbled to yourself as it all seemed to come together. 
“Then the dragon we slew...was...his mothers?”
The boy gasped at the sound of your voice and turned to glare fearfully at you and Yoongi making you wince as you met his gaze behind your visor in reluctant admission of your guilt. He stood in an attempt to appear more intimidating even despite the tremor in his voice showing how petrified he was just underneath the facade.
“You...You’re the ones who killed her dragon!?”
You swallowed the bitter taste on your tongue as you pleaded with the boy. Moon above, he couldn’t be more than 10. 
“Forgive us. We’d no idea this would happen to your mother.”
It sounded exactly what it was. Weak and pathetic. There would be no forgiveness. Not for this. Nor for Mysidia. 
You forced your gaze to his deceased Mother and sent up a prayer. As if that would help him now. 
Yoongi looked around and finally spoke up, tone matter of fact. 
“His Majesty sent us to eliminate every last one of these people.”
Your legs finally gave out, unable to take the weight being placed upon you. 
“No…”
Yoongi frowned as he looked down at you, assessing your condition before he began to move towards the boy with grim determination. 
“Foul work to be sure. But we’ll need to kill the boy as well.”
At that you lunged, just before he reached him, hopping to your feet and pushing against his chest plate in horrified desperation. 
“Yoongi!!”
Up close as you were, you could feel his breath on your skin, could hear the hateful sense of begrudging duty in his tone.
“It’s him or us ____!” 
You pushed him with all your might, making him take a step back even with the weakness coursing through your shaky body.
“He’s a child!”
You turned to look down at the still sobbing boy who was too preoccupied with trying to wipe his tears to pay attention to you both. 
“You’d betray your King?”
Yoongi’s voice now held a note of finality,
You turned to fully face him, clenching your hand into a fist and drawing it close to your chest.
“Betray him? Any King who’d wish for this is no King of mine!!” 
You snarled, harshly swinging your arm out in a subconscious show of disgusted frustration. 
Yoongi smirked at you suddenly and you found yourself startled as he scoffed in humor. 
“Hmph. I thought you might say that.”
Your eyes searched for him just behind your visor as you grew hopeful. 
“Then…?”
He looked off into the distance for a moment and then turned to you with sharp determination. 
“I owe his Majesty much but not so much I’d soil the Dragoon’s name in his.”
He planted his spear down with finality.
Your eyes widened and you stepped closer to him in excitement.
“Then you’re with me?”
He made sure to meet your gaze and wordlessly nodded twice in support before he turned, this time towards the destruction, and walked past the boy as he spoke, looking out at it. 
“Baron’s army is the mightiest in the world. Our flight means nothing if we remain alone; we must treat with other nations, share what we’ve seen…”
He hesitated and then turned to look at you once more. 
“And Hoseok, he must share our flight.”
Your tone softened in affection for him and you nodded, stepping closer.
“And he will. Thank you.”
He turned away for a moment and mumbled to himself. 
“...I’m not doing this for you.”
You didn’t hear him and tilted your head. 
“Huh?”
Yoongi ignored you however and turned to nod towards the boy.
“Quickly, we mustn’t linger here! What of the boy?”
You didn’t even hesitate. 
“We take him with us.”
After hesitating a moment you approached him where he was still crouched protectively over his mother’s body as Yoongi watched uneasily but stayed where he was. 
“Come, it’s not safe here! Take my hand.” 
You asked gently, holding out your hand to the boy. 
He hopped away from you with a glower. 
“No!!” 
Yoongi growled low in his throat at that.
“We’ve no time; use force if you must!”
He joined you as he ran over and Jimin cowered away in fear disguised as anger. 
“Stay away!”
You held out your hand as Yoongi and you both froze. 
“Wait!” 
The child began running in earnest and Yoongi and you both followed, hot on his heels when he suddenly curled in on himself with a choked sob.
“Leave me alone!” 
He suddenly screeched as blinding white light surged up from beneath his feet and you could feel the magical energy emanating from him. Yoongi had faltered but you kept running, refusing to be responsible for the death of another child. If he harmed you so be it...you deserved it anyway.
“I HATE YOU!!!”
You felt the earth shake violently and you glanced up to see a massive Titan made of pure earth. The Eidolon raised its hands, your eyes widened and you lunged curling your arms around the boy as you crushed him protectively against your chest as hard as you could just as he fell unconscious from exertion. You felt the Titan’s hands come down onto the Blue Planet’s surface hard and your body flew into the air. 
If you were to die then so be it, but let this child survive at least. 
He need not share the payment for your sins.
You slammed against the ground hard several times, but curled your body inward all the more around his tiny body in spite of the pain, praying your armor would be enough to absorb the impact as you finally, mercifully joined the child in unconsciousness.
A/N:  Welp, I hope those that actually read this series enjoy it; I’ve only gotten one rambly review on AO3 that inspired be to keep posting this so thank them if you enjoy this series and I’m not talking to myself. Anyway! Onto fun notes about this chapter! :) 
I find Yoongi’s characterization and his relationship to Reader to be one of the most fun parts to explore thus far for me this chapter as well as how they fight together in a serious battle. I also delved into status effects some as well as the various uses of Potions! Expect more explained uses of items and such as the series goes on! Yoongi’s look hair wise in Daechwita perfectly fits both the OG character Yoongi is based off of(Kain Highwind). Luckily it hit me as I was going through mvs, trying to decide if there was anything that matched Kain’s lucious locks and there it was! 
Also yay!! Official intro for Jimin! I know he’s never had mint hair before but I just had to include the nod to the OG game after doing Yoongi’s so...please bare with me. These are the ones I felt most fit what I was imagining. 
Hope you all enjoy and please leave feedback it’s a huge motivator for me! Much love hope ya’ll are enjoying the influx of content from me lately! <3

A Way to a Man’s Heart
Jim Hopper x Reader
A/N: commission for @strawberrybucky
Summary: Jim becomes insecure about the age gap between the two of you. 
Tumblr media
Hawkins was cold, a bit gray in the early mornings – well, as early as their chief of police thought was earlier. Hopper leaned back into the seat of his truck. The police station looked peaceful as he fetched the pack of smokes on the passenger seat and light a cigarette. His back ached from a bad mattress but really, he knew it was because of the person who accompanied the other side of the bed. Hopper was not complaining, by all means, but you were a good bit younger than him and now as the morning fog crept into the small town – his body felt it. Yet, a smile appeared on his rough face, fingers grazed his beard as he smoothed it down, they way you often did. He thought of your pretty face and terrible laugh, the little snort that occasionally escaped, and he chuckled. Damn, he was pretty sure he was quite smitten and even in love, but duty called. So, he groaned and ignored the ache in his back as he got out of the car and slammed the door shut.
His boots stomped with his weight; each step closer to the front door of the station seemed heavier. He wanted to get back in the car and drive back to the cabin, maybe listen to some music as he made his way back to you. He would walk into the cabin, all quiet, hopefully finding you still in bed. Carefully, Hopper would take off his uniform and slip into bed, holding you close as the rest of the morning began to awake.  Eventually, he would get up before you and make sure to have breakfast ready for Eleven and you. That was what he really wanted to do, but at last, he had things he needed to do, and the first check on the list was to go inside to get yelled at about the smoking and the countless calls he was dodging from who ever had a single problem in town they wanted him to solve.
Why he continued to be chief? It was beyond him but deep down, he enjoyed the work – plus, someone had to do the dirty work. His fingers cradled the knob for a long moment, smoke billowing out the corner of his mouth and as he walked in, he told himself to make a quick beeline to his office but two swift steps in and he was being bombarded with questions and friendly insults from his subordinates.
“Well, look who decided to show up.” He ignored the sarcastic quip from one of his deputies and exhaled out smoke as his secretary, Florence rounded her desk and promptly plucked the cigarette from his mouth. He watched in disbelief for a moment, although this action had become a part of their daily morning schedule and sighed, asking what he had missed – sending the deputy a warning glare as he focused on Florence.
“Jim, you got Edith Mayweather on line two; she’s been calling all morning. “
“Okay, okay, Flo,” he grumbled, nearly to his door. Thinking he was finally in the clear, he slowly turned the knob, but the secretary had other plans. She barked for him to turn around and when he did, he was met with a stern, annoyed look. “Yes, Flo?”
“Do not yes me, Jim! I am tired of that women calling all morning, you need to go out to her farm and see what the fuss is about! She’s screaming my ear off about missing pumpkins or something other, please.”
The last word was more of a demand than a plead and Hopper knew to make that call first before anything else.  He nodded and promised to get on it right away, finally opening the door to his office but noting the little pain the lower of his back; he turned again and called for the woman.
“By any chance you got some pain pills. My back is aching like hell.”
Florence rolled her eyes but waved him over, Hopper smiled and walked over to her desk. He watched as she sat down on her wooden chair and fidgeted through the top draw, ransacking for the pharmaceutical goods. As he waited, he heard more rumbling from his deputies seated near the back of the room, minding their coffee and muffins. Jim ignored it at first, assuming they were just talking to each until he heard your name coming out of their mouths.
He whipped around and glared at the two men, asking them to repeat what they had said.
“Well, all I said, Chief was that you got yourself a pretty young thing. You must be careful, a man your age. She might break the horses back,” Deputy Brooks said, grin spacing from cheek to cheek. Hopper glared some more, and Brooks placed his mug down to hold up both hands in defense. “Just enjoy her while you can, a girl like that, she’s bound to wake up one day and find herself sleeping next to an old man. Gonna get the hell out of Dodge.”
“It’s Hawkins…” the other deputy corrected the man, but Brooks just shook his head and slapped him on the shoulder.
“No, it’s saying, you idiot.”
“Ignore them, Jim,” Florence said, shaking the bottle of pills in the air. Jim took them and stared down at the label, a mean streak brewed in his veins and all he wanted to do was whipped those two boys straight across town, but he knew better than to indulge them.  So, he just thanked the woman and started to move when she reached up and grabbed his hand. “Listen, Jim, I have seen the way that girl looks at you; you have nothing to worry about.
He thanked her again and walked to his office, glaring at the two men before walking in and slamming the door shut behind him. Flo meant well, but she used the word girl to describe you and that sent Hopper in a downward spiral of doubt. Sure, you were in your twenties and he in his late thirties, nearing forty but the two of you had gotten along really well. He had met you at the bar and spent the whole night joking and talking. After that, it took Hopper nearly a damn year to make it exclusive and the rest was settled. Eventually you spend most of the time at his place and when he finally did introduce you to Eleven, with much worry and apprehensive, the two of you hit it off so well. He adored watching you with her, patient and caring – and forever taking El’s side.
Leaning back into his chair, he felt his mood sour but grabbed the phone anyway and called Edith Mayweather back.
The cabin was quiet as he unlocked the door, but when he stepped inside, he heard music coming from El’s room. He frowned and called out her name, but she did not answer. Grumpy, he took off his jacket and tossed it on the nearby couch, fumbling to hang his hat up on the wall. All day he was irritable, and nothing got done at the station, the only accomplishment was finishing off his pack of smokes – his ashtray was filled up by the time he left.
“You’re back.”
He placed his keys onto the coffee table as you emerged from the bedroom, a basket of clean clothes in hand. Hopper gave a small smile and walked over to the fridge for a beer, noticing the empty carton of Egg-O’s on the counter.  
“Don’t tell me she ate the rest of the Egg-O’s.”
“I won’t tell you then,” you teased, sensing something was brewing. Hopper groaned and turned to you, leaning back into the counter. His hands gripped the edge and he glared – that Hopper glare of his and you stared right back. “Oh, someone is in a good mood today. Maybe you need a nap.”
“What the hell does that supposed to mean? That I’m old and decrepit?”
Your eyes widen and Hopper folded his arms against his chest, looking out the small kitchen window. He felt guilty then and annoyed that he let Brook’s and Flo’s comments get to him, especially now when he was standing right in front of you.
“Jim you are not old and decrepit.”
“Maybe I’m too old for you,” he whispered, unable to meet your gaze. “Maybe we’re fooling ourselves in thinking this could actually work – I mean, let’s be a little realistic here. I’m about to be forty and you haven’t hit thirty yet. You’re going to want kids and all that, and I don’t think I have anything left in me.”
His doubt was clear on his face and you wonder where this all was coming from, wondered if he was right and quickly wondered why you were thinking he was right. There was nothing more that you wanted than Jim Hopper and everything that came along with him – daughter and cabin.
“I’m sure you’ve heard this plenty of times, but you are an idiot, Jim Hopper. I love you and want to be with you, that’s it. I don’t want to hear any more of this old man crap.” The man’s face fell as an amused smile held your mouth. He watched as you made your way to him, crossing the room to the kitchen. His body relaxed as you slipped a hand around his neck and leaned into his body. He was warm and smelled like coffee and tobacco, his beard a bit rough as your fingers attempted to tame it down. Jim smiled then and sighed, dipping his head forward. His forehead landed softly against yours and his hands fell to your waist, the two of you began to sway to the muffled music coming from Eleven’s room, and then his lips were on yours.
Jim kissed you gently, longing as you held his face in your hands. He bucked his hips forward and you applied further pressure against him. His back ached a bit, but he decided it was worth the pain, nothing a little of Flo’s healing pills to do the job. It was silly, he knew that now, to ponder about what others thought of your relationship. This is what mattered, coming home to a warm house and warmer reception – being able to let go of the things that held him back from loving again. It happened with El, she saved him and now you were here to set him free – to let him love again and to be loved.
“Man,” he murmured, kissing you again before pulling away. He tugged you closer and felt the weight of your head on his chest, his arms wrapping around you to hold you tight. Kissing your forehead, he apologized for his attitude. “I let those jerks at the station get to me, sorry for taking it out on you.”
“It’s okay,” you promised, leaning back to look at him. He looked like he needed a warm meal and a good night’s sleep. You would call Flo in the morning to let her know Jim was taking the morning off, that he would be in late afternoon and to only call for an emergency. “Why don’t you go say hi to the kid and I’ll cook us some steaks.”
Relief flooded Jim’s veins as you kissed him on the cheek and smacked his butt when he started to walk off, he laughed and turned back to you for another kiss. His lips pressed hard into yours and he cradled your face. “I love you.”
“I love you too,” you grinned, pushing away. “Go on, go say hi to your daughter.”
Hopper did as he was told but stopped near the couch and asked if Mike was over again, you said yes but explained that you promptly escorted him out when you caught El’s door closed while you were out hanging the laundry. His eyes lit up and he formed a fist in the air before pointing a finger at you.
“Now that’s the way to my heart.”

THE DREAM PROMPT I WAS WORKING IN AN ANGSTY FIC FOR THIS AND NOW I CAN DO HC’S DNJCKSNXNF
this was the only thing i could finish writing, everything else comes out so bad :( hopefully i made this at least decent? i’m super sorry if this came out terrible ahh,, it’s super angsty and strays off topic so rewrites will always be here!!
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈୨♡୧┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
➼Despite coming to his senses long ago, Dimitri was still haunted by the voices of the dead. He may not be acting by his hatred anymore, but the requests of the fallen still plaugued his mind. You had always been among them. When you had disappeared from the monastery and not returned for the class reunion he thought the worst. The first thing he had done when the army grew was request a search for you, but as he came closer to ending the war he assumed you had fallen sometime in between those five years.
➼The thought of you being dead, the one he had loved so dearly in the officers academy, was too much to bear at times. Thoughts of your eyes losing their glow and your skin growing cold filled him with such sorrow that it almost ached. And the nightmares... he isn’t sure he’ll feel as much horror as he did when he sees visions of you fall.
➼But there was nothing he could do, in all honesty. Every time he tried to find you the search parties came up with absolutely nothing concerning your whereabouts. Half of him knows he should give up, accept that you’ve passed away, but the young boy inside of him is still so lovesick that he can’t bring himself to stop the search. He knows they won’t find anything. He knows you’re most likely dead. He knows he’ll have to live the rest of his life without ever seeing you again.
➼So when commotion breaks out near the front gate one morning, he simply thought it was a few enemy scouts and grabbed his lance. As he grew closer, though, no one seemed to be panicking or running. Not even the children, who were instead trying to see over a large crowd that had gathered.
➼He parted the people and saw Annette and Mercedes working a healing spell on someone. Was the monastery under attack? Had someone shot an arrow over the wall and hit somebody? He quickly rushed to their side and knelt down, but froze when he saw a familiar face.
➼You. It was you. You were bloodied and bruised, and had obviously grown over the years, but it was you. You looked half conscious, and were weakly attempting to hold the wound on your side while your old classmates worked to stop the bleeding. Dimitri could feel his hands start to shake, and for a moment he thought he’d start crying from sheer relief and joy.
➼You turned to him, and he watched your pained expression shift into an ecstatic smile. “Dimitri...! Dimitri, I though you had..” He feels your free hand grab his affectionately, a single tear slipping down your face. “I thought you had died.”
➼Dimitri swallows the lump in his throat and smiles back, leaning his forehead against your knuckles. “That makes the two of us... don’t scare me like that ever again. Please. Please.”
➼You’re in bad shape, and he has to stop himself from panicking when Mercedes calls to clear the way to the infirmary. He wants to follow, but Byleth tells him to wait and see what the healers can do. He knows he has to give them space to work, but he just barely got to see you after five years. He can’t lose you, not again.
➼He doesn’t hear back from the healers until late at night, where an exhausted Annette breaks the news that you’ll be fine. Dimitri wants to faint from relief, but simply thanks his classmates and trudges to his room for the night. Despite the overwhelming feeling of wanting to be at your side, he knows that it would do him no good to see you when you were so deep in sleep.
➼He lays in his bed, restless and unsure of what to do. He can’t sleep, plaugued with thoughts of you and you alone. After believing you to be dead, you find him instead of the other way around. How silly. He’ll have to find out where you’ve been when you heal.
➼Dimitri freezes at the sound of his door slowly opening. He’s facing away from the door, and hears quiet footsteps on the floorboards as whoever came in draws near. He tries to act asleep, thinking it to be just Dedue checking on everyone for the night, but stops when a warm hand caresses his cheek.
➼“S/O? What are you doing awake? You should be resting in the infirmary. Come, let me walk you back, my love,” the word slips out, but he could care less at the sudden flush in his cheeks. You’re standing over him, covered in nothing but your undergarments and bandages, exhaustion all over your face. “I can’t sleep without you, Dimitri. Please, can I rest with you tonight? Please?”
➼He sighs, knowing that he’ll get chewed out for this later, but happily pulls you into bed and covers you with a blanket. You’re sore but somehow manage to get comfortable, pressing your back to his stomach and humming contently. He lets his lips linger on the back of your head, but his eye travels down your back when he sees the mess of pink in the moonlight.
➼“They’re horrid, aren’t they?” He looks back away from your back, watching you curl inwards a bit. “They’re all over my stomach and shoulder too. It’s ok if they disgust you. A lot of people don’t like how they look.” “S/O, please, don’t say such things...” Dimitri frowns, tracing the faded likes that cover skin. Where had you gotten all of these?
➼“I hate them.” You look small, fragile. “No one would ever love me after seeing my scars. I’m not good enough for you anymore Dimitri.” The prince feels his heart shatter and he moves above you, both of you staring right at each other. He reaches up and removes his eyepatch, wincing when his fingers graze over the now exposed wound.
➼You say nothing, reaching up and gently caressing the jagged scar that runs across his face. Dimitri flinches a tad bit as it’s a sensitive area, but allows you to continue. He needs to let you know you’re not the only one with marks on your skin.
➼Suddenly, he’s not sure why, but he’s crying. “Look at us. We’ve both changed so much, been away for so long, but it’s like we’re still at the officers academy. I still love you more than life itself, you know.”
➼You smile, then giggle, then fully laugh. A few tears slip from your eyes, and you sit up to kiss his scar. “We really are the same as we were in our school days, hm? I love you, Dimitri.” You wipe away any stray teardrops on his cheeks and cup his face shakily. “Now let’s sleep, shall we? You look so tired...”
➼And when Mercedes and Ingrid found you both fast asleep in each other’s arms that morning, both of you looking extraordinarily peaceful for once, they decided that they’d let you off the hook for leaving the infirmary. You both deserved to be with each other after so long apart.

New Kids - Kakyoin Noriaki x Fem!Reader
Yes, I finished my exam session. Yes, it was 1 month filled with so many exams, and my brain is shortcircuited. Yes, I watched 4 parts out of 5 from JoJo. Yes, I regret nothing. Yes, I got only top marks. Yes, I love Cherry Boy Kaky, Dio, Caesar, Rohan, Joseph, Jotaro. Yes, I will write about JoJo from now on.

Tumblr media
“Hey, Jotaro? Do you have any chores to do? Or any homework? Can I help you out with anything at all?” I ask Jotaro as I lean on his bedroom’s door frame. “You’re at it again?” he asks with a bored look from his bed. “Yeah...Sorry about that. I’ve already cleaned the whole house spotless and did my homework for all subject...And even studied in advance. I’m getting restless.” I sighed, looking down at the floor. “Maybe you should find a better coping mechanism. You look exhausted. Have you been sleeping properly?” he asks once again, raising his cap to take a better look at me. “...There’s no point in lying to you, you’d find out anyway. No, I haven’t really been able to sleep. I’m always on the edge, and I feel like if I don’t keep my mind busy all the time, I’m going to go insane.” I explain, scratching my arm lightly. “Have you spoken to Mum about this?” he suggests, but I merely nodded. “Yeah...She took me to the therapist, but honestly, she pisses me off more than she helps, you get me? Or maybe I’m just not meant to go with this type of healing. Well...Holly said she’ll take me out to the cinema and shopping this weekend, so I’ll take my mind off things, so I think I should be good, at least for this week.” I speak as I instinctively tidy up his study desk. “Yare Yare Daze...Have you tried using your Stand? Find out how you can perfect some moves or combos?” he suggested, which made me stop in my tracks and shift my gaze to his turquoise eyes. “You know...That’s not such a bad idea. Maybe it would be a good way to meditate and clear my mind. I’ve been so frantic these past weeks that I haven’t even thought to see my dear Kitsune. Thanks for the idea, Jotaro. I think I know what I’ll do. But...If you have anything to do and you’re not up to it, tell me anyway. Just in case.” I shrug, getting out of Jotaro’s room and going outside, taking out my Stand and trying to meditate a bit, under the tree shade.
The next day, at school, for some reason, I’m called by a random student to Jotaro’s class, only to find out that a new kid transferred to our Highschool last month. Well, no wonder I had no idea about this...I’m in 3rd year, while Jotaro and this guy are in their 1st year.  But even so, I wonder what’s it got to do with me? I got in the class as soon as the bell rang, and only the new kid and my old Biology teacher were there.
“Ah, Kat, it’s so good to see you! You look as beautiful as ever...But it’s no wonder you look so exhausted...What happened must have hit you quite hard. Is Mrs. Kujo  taking good care of you?” Miss Yui asks, petting my long, red hair. “Well...Yeah. She is a great mother. I was quite lucky, to be fair...Under different circumstances, who knows how much worse it could have been. But...Anyway, why have you called for me?” I scratch the side of my neck nervously. “Well, dear, this is Kakyoin Noriaki, Jotaro’s new classmate. He moved here from another city, and he has been doing great for all subjects, except Biology. Now, you were my best student, and I remembered about your ambitions to become a Vet, so I thought that maybe you’d like to tutor him. It might also be a great opportunity for you to be more sociable and take your mind off of the bad things that have happened.” Miss Yui’s dark eyes sparkled with kindness as she spoke, but I could only gasp in shock at what I was hearing. “Wh-Wh-What?! M-Me, a tutor? I-I-I think you’d chosen the worst possible person. I’m not patient and I don’t know how to explain stuff for others to understand...And I’m really bad at making friends or...Talking. Are you sure I’m not just going to make it worse for him? Th-There’s always Aiko, and she’s an extrovert...And she went to the Olympics!” I suggested as my cheeks became rosy from embarrassment, but she only smirked at me with a knowing look. “Oh, please, Aiko has nothing on you. You’re much smarter than her, and honestly, she would scare Kakyoin-kun here with her volcanic personality. You, however...Let’s just say I’ve never met a calmer person before.” the teacher praised me, which made me look away and bite my lip, feeling my heart about to burst from emotions. “I really don’t want to bother you, Miss, but I would appreciate all the help I can get. I promise not to give you trouble.” Kakyoin soothing voice called out all of a sudden, and I had to cover my face in embarrassment. “O-Okay...Okay...I don’t mind...Just...I hope you won’t be disappointed. I’m VERY bad with people.” I sighed, side-glancing him. “I truly appreciate you going out of your way to help me out, Senpai.” he smiled softly, bowing at me. “No no no no, don’t do that, it’s fine, it’s no big deal. And, uh...You can call me Katrina or Kat. I’m not exactly Japanese, so it’s really weird when people don’t call me by my first name.” I scratched the back of my head awkwardly, but he didn’t seem to have any problem with what I was saying. “See? You’re already getting along! Their next exam is going to be in a month, from the Nervous System, just so you know what to teach him. Good luck!” she waved at us cheerfully, as we nodded at her and left the classroom. “So, uhh...When and where?” I ask, already trying to make a plan for how to go with this. “Tomorrow I finish pretty early, so maybe...Tomorrow, 2pm, in the park?” he proposes simply, while I thought about the things I had to do. “Well...Tomorrow I finish at 3, so if you don’t mind waiting a bit by yourself...Then sure, I have nothing else to do.” I smile gently at him. “I don’t mind waiting. I actually quite enjoy my alone time, to be fair. I’m not a people person either.” he smiled back. “Well, then that’s perfect! I’ll see you tomorrow. Take care.” I give him a military salute before taking off.
Hmm...Kakyoin Noriaki...Not bad...Maybe this will actually be fun and I’ll manage to forget everything that happened.
As soon as I get home, I take out all the notes I have from Year 1 and start making a battle plan on how to tackle every lesson properly, how will every scheme and drawing help and so on. Gods, I sure hope I won’t stutter, I’m so nervous... The only people I’m actually comfortable around are Jotaro and Holly, and now, I have to do this... But maybe it’s for my own good, right? What could go wrong?
The next day, instead of paying attention in class, I doodled random things in my notebooks, as a way to cope with how incredibly nervous I was and afraid of screwing up and embarrassing myself, but thankfully enough, hours passed by faster than imagined, and I found myself already walking towards the designated place, where I found Kakyoin sitting down at the base of the tree, looking peaceful, and seemingly drawing in a notebook. He looked very...Pretty... He inspires me such a relaxing vibe, that I almost feel at ease just being around him. His voice is so calm and gentle... He really is cute.
“Hey, sorry for keeping you waiting.” I speak out softly, sitting down next to him. “Don’t worry about that. I enjoyed myself. The weather is very nice today, don’t you think?” he continues the small talk. “Yeah...It really is. I mean...The Sakura season is supposed to begin soon, I think?” I mention, looking up at the fluffy cloud. “I think it’s in 2 weeks. I heard there’s a pretty big festival, right?” he smiles simply. “Hmm...I think so? I remember Holly making Jotaro take me to see the Sakura bloom, but other than that, I don’t know. I mean, it was really beautiful, but with someone like Jotaro...I guess you can’t stay much and admire stuff, you get me?” I chuckled, remembering how much the boy would scowl at all the girls trying to cling on him. “I see you’re close to Jotaro. I didn’t really see him as the type to make friends easily, especially with girls.” he noted, making me giggle in amusement. “It was...Kind of a forced situation, in a way. The whole deal is pretty complicated, but we had to stay a lot together due to family circumstances, and now we’re like siblings, so to speak. I really want to say that he’s like my little brother...But considering how I look like a Pomeranian when I’m next to him, I guess everyone would say I’m the little sister.” I bite my lip, trying not too laugh to hard, but it greatly amused Noriaki. “I would actually kind of want to see that, I bet it would be pretty funny. Then, how about we go to the festival together, all 3 of us? It would be nice to experience all the new things around.” Kakyoin looked at me with a soft expression.  “Sounds good to me! Maybe this time I will actually get to SEE the festival too.” I chuckled, getting out my study materials from my bag. “So, here we go. I was thinking we could go with a bit of a different order to learning, seeing that the way things were taught is a bit broken and irresponsible. So, instead of first learning about the brain itself, I think actually learning about cells, the Neurons, more specifically, then go up the chain list with tissues, organs, organ systems, and their functions. Sounds good?” I suggest, already opening the notebooks at said lesson. “I have no objections. I’m in your hands, Katrina.” he leaned in closer.
Wow...My name, spoken by him, sure sounds good...
I begin explaining the first lesson, with every little detail possible and correlations that would help him understand things easier, and I didn’t realise how time flew so fast.
“Is this how you remember things? By doodling cute little things around the pages of your notebooks?” he smiled tenderly, making me gasp. “A-A-A-Ah...! Ignore them, please! I just like cute things and they kinda make me smile when I see them! S-Sorry, I know they’re silly!” I looked away, blushing faintly. “No, no, I think they’re really nice. I like doodling in my notebooks too. Makes me feel more at ease while studying. Say, would it be okay to ask you to lend me your study materials for a while so I can copy them?” he leaned back on the tree. “O-Oh, yeah, of course! Sorry, I completely forgot about that! Yeah, sure. Uh...They’re a bit heavy, sorry about that, will you be okay?” I bite my lip, taking out all the notebooks and portfolio filled with drawings. “Yes, nothing I can’t handle. Thank you so much for going out of your way to help me.” he helped me get get up as we walked towards the school. “So, when is the next time we can meet up? It’s uh...Kinda the longest and most difficult chapter, and it took me about half a year to understand it 100%...And we have a month now.” I explain, concerned. “Then, as often as possible, correct? I think tomorrow after class we can do this again, what do you think?” he took the bag from my shoulder, carrying it. “Here, let me carry it. It’s the least I can do to thank you for your trouble.” he smiled charmingly. “I’m not sure if you’re an angel, or if I just met a lot of mega-jerks, but I guess I’m glad I got to meet someone as nice as you. Yeah, tomorrow is perfect.” I grin at him.
He walked me to my home, and the whole day after this I could only think of how cute and kind he is.
Boy, I have it bad.
So bad that the whole weekend, Holly kept trying to make me speak, and when I finally managed to say something, she was fangirling so much...So much, even at home, that even Jotaro realised I have a crush on his classmate...
How V E R Y tragic...
Well, at least I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be better than last time.
And so, 2 weeks of meeting almost every day passed by, and in the weekend, we were supposed to go to the Sakura festival.  Of course, Jotaro wouldn’t be caught dead to that place, so it’d be only the 2 of us. Fuuun~!
Of course, Holly wanted to buy me a cute, pink Kimono and made sure that I look extra pretty for the day, but damn, I was a nervous mess. Jotaro was nice enough to walk me to the festival and wait with me until Kakyoin arrived, which was at 6 sharp, and made sure that he’ll walk me home, which was very nice of him, to say the least.
“See? I really look like a Pomeranian next to him, and now you had the opportunity to see it for yourself.” I chuckled as we started walking through the festival, carefully looking at each booth and what it has to offer. “It was quite the sight. I didn’t realise you lived with Jotaro. He must be a nice big brother, despite how cold he seems with everyone.” he chuckled, looking a bit absent minded. “Oh, yeah, he is. Well, if you’re curious, I can tell you why I live with him, but it’s quite a complicated story.” I shrugged slightly, walking up to him. “If you want to tell me, I would gladly listen. It does seem like an interesting story.” he spoke, before turning to me. “You know...Pink looks very good on you.” his tender smile seemed to light up the night like the Moon, as he put a very pretty pink flower hair ornament that made my side fringe stay out of my hair. “There, now I can see your beautiful eyes better.” he spoke, but my cheeks for so red that I had to hide my face with my hands from how embarrassed I felt. “C-Come on, don’t say that, it’s nothing of the sort...” I tried to say, but to no avail. “What are you saying? Well, I guess you can’t see how amazing you are, but I assure you, being in this position, able to see you, is the best. Oh, I heard there will be fireworks soon. Why don’t we go up the hill? I bet the view will be great.” he spoke nonchalantly as he put his arm around my shoulder. “S-Sure, sounds great...It’s really pretty, this place. And being able to enjoy it with someone else...It’s really nice. I haven’t been this happy in a while.” I bit my lip, looking away, smiling. “Then, I’m glad I have the honour of being the one by your side.” he chuckled lightly, as we leaned on the big Sakura tree up the hill. “Say...Kakyoin...Don’t you think something weird’s going on?” I ask in a soft voice. “Hmmm...? What do you mean?” he asks, looking down at me with a raised eyebrow. “The wind is blowing softly...And yet...There’s no Sakura petal. And...There’s nobody here. I mean...Don’t you think other people would like to see the fireworks from up here? Or...Put those love charms on the tree branches?” I walk forward towards the middle of the hill to look around properly. “Just relax, you’re thinking too much into it. Look, down there, everyone has smiles on their faces, so there’s nothing weird that could’ve happened, right?” but just as he said that, a pair of hands shot up from the tree, strangling Kakyoin. “Wh-What the hell...?!” I gasped, looking around. “It can’t be...Where is he...?!” I muttered under my breath, as a monster-like humanoid figure got out of the tree and slammed Kakyoin on it. “K-Katrina...Run...!” he tried to warn, but I merely shook my head. “Hang in there, Kakyoin, I’ll save you!” I tried to reassure him, but a dark voice from behind me called out my name. “Awww, look at her, how she grew up! You look even better than you did some years ago. Now you’re actually worth looking at! And to think that you’re all mine...Why, Kitten, what’s with that face? Aren’t you happy to see me after all this time?” the voice that I hated with every fiber of my being spoke, and I could only clench my fists in anger. “Let him go. He has nothing to do with this. If you want me, attack me, but don’t be so cowardly as to take hostages. Honestly...You’ve never been a man, and you’ll never be. Jotaro’s barely 17 and he is much more a man that you will ever even dream of being. You’re just a whiny and bratty little boy who always gets mad when he doesn’t get what he wants. Pathetic.” I turn around to face the man in front of me...My ex. “Stop looking at me like that, you’re ugly. Just be an obedient little girl and smile for me, that’s all that you’re good at. But you’ve been whoring around with other men while I was away...What a naughty girl, you deserve to be punished...” his smirk was so wide, it almost seemed like his face will split in two. “Jeez...Disgusting as ever...” I tsked, before taking out letting my Stand, The Trickster, attack him. “How do you want to die? By attacking your Stand, or attacking you directly? I will let you choose.” I rolled up my long sleeves so I would have better access to my hands. “Pshh, as if some weak bitch like you can ever defeat me. Remember how you used to squirm underneath me? You’ll look just as pitiful now!” he started laughing hysterically, but I could only smirk. “Man...You see...My Big Bro made sure to teach me how to take care of myself. Guess I’ll have to show you not to mess with me anymore....Kitsune, come!”  I said in a stern voice, as I and Kitsune’s hand touched, as we fused together. 
I made a huge circle of fire surround us, and from my hands, two huge snakes of fire came out, lunging themselves at the jerk.
“H-Hey...What the hell...Since when are you a Stand user too?!” he shouted at me with rage and shock. “Since before you knew how to speak, fuckass. Now go away and burn in hell like you deserve!” I let out an amused breath, before chasing him away. “Urgh...Lame as usual...” I rolled my eyes, before rushing to Kakyoin’s side. “Kakyoin, are you alright? U-Uh...I...I’m not sure what happe-” I tried to think of an excuse, but I was cut off. “You’re a Stand user too?!” Kakyoin’s eyes widened in shock, as so did mine. “Y-Yes...! Can you see Kitsune too?!” I leaned back a bit, shocked to hear that. “Clear as the day. What a pleasant surprise...Ah! Watch out!” Kakyoin put his arms around me, shielding me from something. “Hierophant Green: Emerald Splash!” he called out his Stand firmly, as I heard another scream. “Weakling never give up, do they?” he said in a softer voice. “I heard idiots never give up. I guess both are right, hm?” I gave him a side-smile, as he let go of me slowly. “Think he’ll come back again?” he asked, taking a deep breath. “Hopefully not. I’ve seen enough of him for a lifetime. Ah...Come on, I can’t believe it...You have hand marks on your neck...Damn, I’m sorry. Come here, let me heal you.” I spoke gently as I loosened the kimono from his neck area and put his own hands around his neck gingerly, closing my eyes and concentrating my powers towards my palms. “Is this your power?” he asks in a bewildered voice. “Yeah...I can heal people...My stand is called The Trickster. Her name is Kitsune, because she’s a fox and...And people used to nickname me that a long time ago. Mainly Joseph and Suzie, I suppose...Well. She can mostly create illusions and trick people a lot...But this is her actual, primary power. I supposed that’s why I wanna become a Vet, I don’t know....But...I’m sorry you had to be caught up into my problems like that...You deserve better than this. There, you’re all good. I will go home now. I’m sorry, again.” I sighed, about to get up, but he caught my wrists before I could. “Don’t say that. I’m glad I got to spend more time with you...And learn more about you. You’re a beautiful woman, Katrina, inside and out. You’re very kind and lovely...And I think your stand really suits you. I’m glad that I met you, Katrina.” he smiled softly, leaning in to plant a soft kiss on my lips, which made my cheeks flare up. “A-Are you sure about that? You may regret your decision...And the last thing I want is you hating me.” I scratched the back of my head awkwardly. “I don’t think I’ve ever been more sure about a decision. Will you be my girlfriend, Katrina?” he asked me sweetly, fixing the hair ornament from my fringe. “Man...I really scored the blackjack today, didn’t I?” I chuckled softly, looking at the ground, before shifting my gaze back at him. “How could I say no? You’re an angel, I told you before, didn’t I?” I joked before kissing him back. “Also...There actually aren’t fireworks today, they’re supposed to be on Sunday, but...” calling out my Stand once again, I make a Firework show up on the dark sky. “That can be easily solved.” I smirk slyly, leaning on his side. “You’re a work of art...” he muttered, as he put his arm around me, kissing the top of my head.
---
“Okay, so? How’d it go? You got your exam results today, right?” I ask Noriaki incredibly anxious, as we took out our bento, laying at the base of a tree in the highschool park. “Well...I guess it was decent.” he spoke mysteriously, reaching into his bag. “What does that mean? Come on, tell me, don’t leave me like that!” I whine, making him laugh. “Honestly, you’re more invested in this than I am, it’s amusing. Here, I hope you’re proud of me.” he took out a paper and let me take it. “Whoa! That’s amazing, yo got a 95%! You’re the best, I’m so proud of you!” I squealed in glee, throwing my hands around him, kissing his cheek. “It’s all thanks to you that I was able to get this mark, so thank you. Which reminds me...I wanted to give this to you, as a thank you gift. I hope you like it.” he smiled shyly at me, before he took something else from his bag...It looked like a dark green frame. “I began sketching it the day we first met up at the park...But as I got to know you better, I kept adding things, or changing them. Your face became much kinder, instead of the anxious one from the first time I saw you. You are dressed in the beautiful pink Kimono from the festival, instead of the school uniform, and you have the hair accessory I got you. You hold a fox in your embrace, as your stand is, and on the sky, the fireworks that you created are shown. You’re my muse, Kat. I love you, and thank you for putting up with me.” he put his hand on the back of my head, pulling me closer to him as he kissed me lovingly. “Man...You’re an amazing artist. Thank you, I love it...And I love you. I’ll hang it in my room, so I can see it every time I wake up. You’re the best, Nori.” I smiled at him with a soft giggle, before an angry noise was heard. “Could you keep that in private? Yare Yare Daze...You’re annoying...” Jotaro’s annoyed voice called out from above us. “Aww, how cute, Jotaro! But, you see, instead of complaining about us, I think you should run away before those girls catch up to you and go all over you. It’s not like Star Platinum can help you in that situation.” I winked at him, as he shot me a dirty look, going away. “Isn’t he adorable? What a cute little brother I have.” I chuckled, shaking my head. “Ah, that reminds me...Today that video game you talked about is getting promoted in our nearest game shop. Wanna come get it? It’s no big deal if we skip class and play video games all day, right?” I shrug nonchalantly, feeling over the moon with happiness. “I like how you’re thinking! Let’s go!” he took my hand and we sneaked out of that place, to the game shop, and thankfully enough, we managed to get the game just before they all ran out, so we hurried to his place to try it out, and thankfully, it was worth the wait and money since it was super fun and entertaining. That evening, as he walked me home, I remembered that I promised to tell him the story of how I got to live with Jotaro, and I started chuckling.
“Oh that reminds me...Remember when I said I’ll tell you why I live with Jotaro? I guess I kinda forgot to tell you about that. Basically, my family and his family have always been closed. I’m half-British, half-Italian, and my grandma is the sister of Jotaro’s grandpa’s best friend. Caesar Zeppeli...He died when Joseph Joestar was 19, while trying to save the world from some monsters, but Joseph, since then, has been very close with grandma...And in turn, I’ve been very close with my grandma too, and she’d tell me all kinds of stories, and she would take me see Joseph and Suzie very often in New York. It was always super fun. When I was in my first year of Highschool, I managed to score a scholarship and finish the whole year at this Higschool right here, and my grandma made me promise to speak to Holly, Jotaro’s mum. We kinda became very close, since she’s very sweet and all...But well, around the time we met, my own mother died, and my grandma asked Joseph to let me stay at his daughter...So, she’s been very sweet to take care of me ever since. And Jotaro has been trying to help me cope with the loss of my mother. He’s a nice guy, once you get past that snowman attitude. Besides...His Stand looks scarier than him!” I laughed merrily, having him join with a chuckle, and a kiss on my temple. “Poor dear, you have been through so much already, and yet, your smile shines brighter than the Sun. You’re a true work of art, Kat. Thank you for trusting me with your story. Honestly...I’ve always been such an introvert that even my mum would get annoyed with me. I’m really glad I met you. And I hope Jotaro won’t use his Stand on me...Ever.” he showed a side smile as we got in front of the house. “Thank you for walking me home, Nori. I’ll see you tomorrow. I love you.” I kissed him softly, before going into the house, only to be greeted by Holly, whose hands were on her hips, and her foot was tapping on the ground frantically. “Well?!” Holly asks with a frustrated look. “Well...? JACKPOT!” I said in a loud voice, high fiving her. “YES! That’s what I’m talking about! You go, girl, you got him!” she grinned at me giddily, as we went to the kitchen to gossip and do some sweets. “Yare Yare Daze...The two of you together are horrible...” Jotaro’s annoyed voice called out, leaving the place.

S/O dies giving birth HCs
Hello fellow cowboy lovers, I’m deeply sorry (or not, I’m into angsty stuff) about the amount of sadness there’s about to be written below. Enjoy (if you like that and all)! <3
Request: An angst HC with Arthur, Charles and Sean where their s o dies giving birth and the guys are left to raise them alone.
Arthur:
Isaac. That’s the first thing that came to Arthur’s mind when you told him you were pregnant.
She made sure to tell him the news on her favorite place: the beach.
What happened had a deep impact in his personality, and now life gave him another chance. To know better, to do better.
In the Saint Denis doctor, he learned that it still had time until the baby was born.
So he would to town with the biggest smile on his face, buying things to the baby. 
Unaware of what waited for him when he got to camp.
Arriving at camp he saw Ms. Grimshaw pale as ghost. His mind trying to make sense of things.
The baby wasn’t expected until another two more months. That’s... that’s why he was out.
He didn’t knew, he couldn’t have predicted it.
“Mr. Morgan, I’m truly deeply sorry, me and Mr. Pearson did...”, Arthur could no longer hear, the buzzing in his ears silencing those awful words.
His dreams once again turned into a nightmare.
Hearing the shaky baby’s breath nearly broke his heart.
He would look at that small, innocent boy and wonder how he would ever raise him without his partner.
Confusion and guilt would take over his mind. Thoughts so dark that he would never dare to write in his diary. Arthur did that to her, he wasn’t there.
He grew more apart from others, focusing all his time on the recovery of his baby.
The boy had some many aunts and uncles, the whole gang loved and protected him with all their hearts.
In the early years, he had no interest in hiding how miserable he was feeling.
Even though he was clumsy, Arthur managed to turn his fragile baby into a strong boy.
He made sure to tell his son how good of a woman his mother was. Always making him say her name.
The boy was very sensible, picking up when Arthur was feeling down and trying to cheer him up by doing all kinds of silly things.
His diary was his most treasured possession. When his son got a bit older, Arthur would read some parts about her.
It was really emotional, but a way to keep her memory alive.
Time is a cruel, but blissful thing. 
Blissful because with the years, Arthur could notice, without hurting so much, the resemblance between the boy and his mother.
And cruel, because he started forgetting the little details. The portrait he draw being the only thing left to compare the her with his son.
Sitting by the seashore, he would reminisce about how much she loved that place. 
“This is stupid, Y/N, but if I could just talk to you... tell you about our boy.”
He would be interrupted by the big curious eyes of that tiny little boy. “Are you talking to mother?”
Arthur would just nod, and take him by the hand, leaving some flowers on the grave just above the dunes. He knows she would love that view.
Charles
When she began go into labour, Charles was there holding her hand.
And when life began to leave her eyes, he held her hand too.
Charles had heard about that before, but he never thought he would need to experience it first hand.
And the blood...her warm blood, the blood that nurtured their baby, now was everywhere.
He just kept concentrating on the baby’s cry, for her, he would just listen to that sound and get his strength from there.
“It’s a baby girl!”, said Ms. Grimshaw, holding his daughter.
But Charles could not do the same, he had no strength left to take her.
He remembers falling into the ground, the first time anyone saw him displaying such raw emotions. He would sob for minutes, without stopping.
Searching for any meaning in that, he would think of how life is always balanced, how the spirit and body were different things.
But that knowledge didn’t brought him any consolation at that point.
It took him a day or two, to go search for his baby. Abigail had been taking care of her. Charles was ashamed of being weak and not being able to see her before.
He never felt this scared in his life. His fingers were too big and rough against the baby‘s soft skin.
Charles learned pretty quickly how to take care of the girl, bringing her along when he went fishing or hunting since she was a baby.
He would strap her around his chest and go on with his chores.
The baby girl was very peaceful, much like her father. Looking at her would silence all the noises in Charle’s head.
In her first birthday, everyone threw a big party, getting the girl gifts and playing with her.
It was supposed to be a happy moment, but Charles could not forget that it also meant he had lost his love for a year now.
The thought that this would always be the case robbed him the joy to celebrate that day.
But he loved his daughter deeply, her life gave his more meaning.
Charles was a pretty patient father, teaching his girl to talk and walk, and as soon as she could, to use a bow.
A wooden carved horse was her favorite toy, her father gave it to her.
His kid would always surprise him with how smart she was beyond her years. Not only being able to read, but knowing things not even adults understood.
“I’m not sad Cain died, papa, he is not in pain anymore. Mom is with him now, right?”
Charles would take her every now and then to visit her mother’s grave, by her request.
He felt like he had a lot to learn with his kid, she didn’t felt sad, just glad to be a living part of her mother.
She grew to be such a sweet and caring girl. Who loved braiding her father’s hair.
Charles would look at her and see his own appearance mixed with the one he would forever love. It was painful, but a beautiful reminder of how life goes on.
Someday he would meet her again, but for now, his girl needed him. And he would always protect her.
Sean
When his s/o told him she was expecting a baby, Sean was helpless.
There’s no denying that at first he was terrified! Too young and too dumb, in his own words, to take care of another human being.
She got apprehensive that Sean didn’t wanted the kid, but that’s not at all what he meant.
Passed the initial shock, he got really excited at the thought of playing and being the fun dad.
A little person to teach everything he knew , all the pranks, joke, songs!
He started dreaming about the life the three of them would have. It wasn’t so scary anymore.
With his love’s scream piercing through his ears, Sean fetched Ms. Grimshaw in a blink of an eye. His heart jumping on the chest.
He never seen someone giving birth before, so he couldn’t know all that screaming wasn’t normal.
It wasn’t a regular “push” scream, something was terribly wrong.
“My chest!” she would say with her clenched fists turning white “Oh god! Please, it hurts so much.”
That’s when he noticed something wasn’t right. Kneeling beside her, he would wipe the sweat of her face.
“Love, talk to me. What’s wrong?”
“I’m sorry Sean, you didn’t wanted this and now I’m going to leave you with” she would scream in agony “with our baby.”
“Yer not leaving me, don’t say that.”, he said with tears falling into her face. He knew it was true.
Ms. Grimshaw handed him the baby, already wrapped in a blanket.
“Look at her! Stay with us, please”
“There’s another one coming!”, Pearson shouted.
The body of the woman he loved turned pale, with a last gasp, she squeezed Sean’s hand.
It would be his last laughter in a long time. Sean was hysteric, guffawing without any emotion.
From day to night, he transformed in a whole different person. He would be restless, taking care of both babies.
He had no clue what he was doing, so everyone would help out as much as they could.
Abigail would teach him about diapers and common diseases, Arthur would watch out for the kids while Sean ate or when he fell asleep, exhausted.
Mary-Beth would entertain them with beautiful fantastic tales, they loved that auntie.
The twins were the gang’s kids. Although, Sean did the best he could, turning a bit more responsible over time.
He would focus all his, once endless, energy on his children. That way he would be too tired to think about their mother.
When they got a little bigger,Jack would play with them for hours, while Sean was out on jobs.
One time, when arriving to camp, his kids sat him down and started reading to him. It made Sean so damn proud.
“Your pa can’t read but you two can? Where did I go wrong!?” He would say, playfully.
His little girl was the most troublemaker of them. She would always be up to something mischievous.
When she pranked Micah, Sean like pretending nothing happened.
But his  boy was more like his mother, kind and pensive.
“Pa, I feel bad that mom died because of me and sister.” he would confess.
“Yer mom loved ya, and your sister! If she could choose, she would always pick you two over her. That’s how us parents are!”
But hearing his son saying that, got his facade down. Sean had been pretending for too long that he was healed from what happened.
But how could he ever move on?
By learning how to play the guitar with Javier, his son got him a bit jealous.
“Yer spoiling my kid, Javier. He just wants to spend time with you now! I’m his pa!”
He found very odd how only his daughter picked his accent up, the boy talked like Arthur and made Sean a little mad. 
Even though they were everyone’s kids, the twins were super attached to their father.
Wherever Sean went, two red-headed shadows would follow.

Pre-Apple Hanahaki
fandom: Dreamtale AU
warnings: lying tw, manipulation tw, hanahaki disease tw
set in the same verse as this.
word count: 1,858
summary: A human confesses to Dream about how they feel for him.
"Dream... May I... May I speak with you?" A tall, fair haired human asks, shifting from one foot to another, looking both hopeful and deeply uncertain at the same time, their cheeks pinker than the rest of their face for some reason.
The guardian of positivity blinked a little bit in surprise - it was unusual for any of the villagers to come this close to the tree - but he nodded, walking over to them and asking "Sure! What is it that you want?"
"I... U-Uhm." The human responded, blinking a little and turning a brighter shade of pink, fidgeting with their hands a little before stuttering out - looking anxiously at Nightmare before responding "Could we... Could we maybe walk a little bit further away, please? I... Uhm was hoping to talk to you privately, Dream..."
Dream blinked a little bit in confusion and surprise - surely the villagers knew that whatever they told him, he told Nightmare, unless they were saying rude lies about the other guardian, right? Then again this particular human had only lived in the village for a couple of years now - having moved there from elsewhere. Dream was rather curious about what the rest of their world was like - but there was no way he would abandon Nightmare or the duty that they had been created for. "Okay..." He glanced briefly at Nightmare - who seemed to be fully immersed in the book he was reading and addressed the other "Hey, I'm going to be going on a walk with... Err..." Dream wasn't sure if he'd been told this human's name and he just didn't remember or if they hadn't had more than a brief conversation or two with this particular human.
"Oh! Sally. We... We met when I first came to the village and you were very warm and kind." the hu-Sally responded in a rush, looking a little bit upset before seeming to rally themself after a moment.
"Alright. Be careful, Dream." Nightmare responded, barely looking up from his book before he waved a hand at the both of them in a shooing motion "Go have fun."
Dream nodded and brightly smiled at Sally, starting to walk to the far end of the field. It was far enough away from where Nightmare and the tree were that the negative Guardian wanted to hear them speak. Dream paused at the edge of the field and asked curiously “What is it that you wanted to talk to me about?”
The human fidgeted with her hands for a couple of moments, before taking in a shuddering breath and sing really fast, voice rising in pitch a little as they watched him with a  startling intensity “W-would you go out with me? I really like and admire you and I would... w-would be so happy if we dated! E-even if it was just one date. P-please?"
Oh no. Not this again. Dream paused for a couple of moments before carefully reciting the line that he'd come up with for just this situation "While I am flattered that you think that you like me, I'm sorry but I must decline. I... It's not me that you like, but my... My positive aura. I didn't even know your name until you told me... S-so how could you like me in a romantic way, if we don't know one another at all?"
"I... I know it seems a little bit silly a-and impulsive. But I... I know that I love you, Dream. N-not that I'm attracted to your aura like you said. See I... I was thinking about you earlier - how warm, kind and wonderful you are to everyone you meet... A-and how anyone who held your heart - metaphorically speaking I mean - would be so lucky when I... I started to cough." Sally responded, pulling something out of her pocket. "I... I coughed out these petals while I was thinking of you, and how it'd be unlikely that you'd ever... Want me back." the human was holding a handful of crumpled up daisy petals, the blush on their face darkening further.
Dream's eyes widened in shock and dismay at the petals "Are... Are you sure you were thinking of just me? Oh... Oh no. I do know what this is - Nightmare can help you with it! But I... I can sense the positive feelings of others, and I know for a fact that you do not love me in the way that causes these flowers to grow inside of a sentient being." This was the sixth being to come in less than ten years, suffering from this strange magical affliction and the second human. The first being to claim that they were in love with one of the two of them, however.
"I w-what? No I... My... You... A-are you implying that Nightmare has something to do with the flower curse?" Sally sputtered, their eyes going wide in shock and distress.
"What? No of course not. From what we've been able to figure out of the curse, it stems from unrequited romantic love. Love is a neutral-positive emotion, and - well you probably don't want to hear more about it other than the fact that Nightmare's magic - the negativity - can kill the magical blooms that are feeding on your magic and soul." Dream responded, shaking his head a little as he silently wondered why that was always their first assumption when it came to this magical curse/illness thing.
"B-but does that mean I'll never be able to f-feel love again? I-I'd rather die than have that happen!" Sally responded, sounding and looking deeply frightened.
Why was that the second assumption they made about this? Dream could understand that the flower blossom curse was terrifying, but that didn't mean that the cure was so terrible. Resisting the urge to sigh and hide his face in his hands, the guardian of positivity patiently explained "No. His negative magic disrupts the hold that the curse has on your soul and magic, allowing you to heal. We don't know the source of the curse or infection, so we can't remove whatever magical seeds are inside of anyone. But the disruption allows the monster or human to recover from the damage done by the flowers, and nothing more. You retain your memories of whoever it is you're in love with, and you retain the capacity to love."
"O-Oh... How do you know this much about the curse, Dream?" Sally asked, their eyes wide as they allowed themself to be dragged by the positive guardian, clearly trying to digest this information.
"About a decade or so after we were first created by the previous guardian, a monster who had an active case of the flower curse came to us, begging for any kind of help that we could give them. They thought that an apple from the tree - from either side - would cure them. Which isn't true by the way. Both of us wanted to help them, and at first I tried healing the damage caused by the flowers... Which worked, but they still continued to grow. Nighty tried healing them as well, and after he did, the monster coughed up a bunch of dried petals. I checked the monster and they were no longer suffering from the active form of the flower curse.” Dream responded quietly. “I healed that monster of the rest of the damage and they went on their way…But in the past ten years or so, we’ve seen five - now you would be six… Which is unusual as last century we only saw four beings suffering from it.”
The human shifted from foot to foot, looking away from him and clearly uncomfortable. "I... Oh, alright. I don't want to die from this condition... Thank you for all of this information - I had heard that this emotional curse was something that you could fix, Dream... But I didn't realized that Nightmare helped you do so."
"Oh, if Nightmare couldn't kill the blooms, all I would be able to do is what I do now - which is to heal the damage that the flowers do. I wouldn't be able to kill the flowers- I could draw off the positive emotions of the person in regards to the person who they love... But that only delays the growth of the flowers, not kill them." Dream responded, shaking his head a little and sighing quietly, a small frown appearing on his face "I just... I just really wish that people would give Nighty equal credit for dealing with this strange curse, because he certainly deserves it."
"I... Ah... Uhm. Yes of course. I'll. That makes sense." Sally responded, shifting a little bit more as the two of them walked over to the Tree of Feelings, beneath which his other half was currently reading the book he'd been reading earlier.
"Nightmare can also cast a diagnostic spell, which will give us a time frame for how long your version of the curse has been active." It would also tell Nightmare how long the other might have left to live, if the other refused the treatment, as it was one of the things the two guardians were keeping track of.
The human jolted a little in surprise, their eyes widening as a look of genuine distress appeared on their face and they took a couple of steps back, even as Nightmare looked looked up at the both of them, a curious expression appearing on his face. "I... Uhm... AH... I think... I think I should go. Thank you for your time, Guardian Dream, and I apologize for t-taking up so much of it!" They started to run off at full speed, and Dream was unsure as to what to do.
"What was that all about?" Nightmare asked, a small smirk appearing on his face "I haven't seen anyone run from you like that in a long time. Just what the heck did you do?"
Dream told him what the human had told him - that supposedly the other had been thinking of him and coughed up a handful of daisy petals, and had decided to come and confess their feelings for him, finishing with "It's not as if I've interacted enough with them to actually have them fall for who I am? I think they... like more than a few of the villagers, just like my aura and confused it for love? But they really could be in love with someone else and suffering from that awful curse! They could be dying of it and I... I don't know why they ran off like that."
A contemplative - if slightly irritated - expression flashed across Nightmare's face before the negative guardian answered carefully "I'll go talk to them, alright? They could just be really stressed about the fact that they confessed to the wrong person, and I know that more than a few beings are kind of intimidated at interacting with the both of us at the same time. I'll check to make sure that they'll be okay, don't worry, Dream."
"Thanks, Nightmare!" the positive guardian responded, happily hugging the other tightly for a moment,  a small smile appearing on his face.

IzuOcha, 32
I’m gonna be honest, anon, when I read through the list and saw 32 I was like, huh, that sounds terrible. I was not expecting it to be the first one requested. I suffered the consequences of that thought. Anyways, it was terrible so I made the end happy. Y’all know I just… angggsttt… it just hurts too much. 
Also, this is my first IzuOcha fic, and I’m still new to the bnha fandom so keep that in mind lol. 
(Another also: I love Iida with my entire being, save.) 
Izuocha, #32: The Smell of Blood: 
When Izuku Midoriya’s vision cleared he could see the flames and smoke licking at the stars in the sky, as if the fire was going to devour the entire galaxy. Somewhere in the distance, he could hear sirens. He couldn’t remember what had happened… he couldn’t remember… Ochaco! He tried scrambling to his feet but stumbled as pain shot through his arm. It only impeded him for a moment. The last thing he had seen before he passed out… Where is she?!
           “O-Ochaco!” Cradling his arm, Izuku squinted, trying to desperately see through the smoke, and trying not to think of what he had seen…
           “Deku!” Her hands reaching out to push him out of the way… Blood… He could see blood.
           “Ochaco!!!” Just beyond a breath of smoke, he could make out something… pink… Ochaco? Pink and… red…? He ran towards her, tripping once or twice before reaching her side. The air was thick with smoke and the smell of blood. Ochaco’s clothes were soaked with thick… red… and the color was still spreading across her chest. “N-no… no… n-no!” His good hand was shaking as he fumbled to find where she was hurt. I have to stop the bleeding. “O-Ochaco… Ochaco, can you hear me? Stay with me, okay?” He could hear the sirens drawing closer. He had to keep her awake until they came. But how long had he been out? Was he too late?
           Her breathing was so shallow, her chest rising up and down to the rhythm of Izuku’s rapid heartbeat. Then her eyes fluttered and he saw his own, terrified expression reflected in them. “D-Deku…” she choked, her voice barely a whisper, a little smile touched her lips, “You’re… you’re alright.”
           “W-why, Ochaco?” Izuku hissed, trying to hold back his own tears.
           “Don’t you get it, silly?” She laughed and then winced, her hands balling into fists at the pain. “I care about you.” Her eyes were fluttering closed again just as Izuku began to see flashing lights through the smoke. Help was here, but Ochaco was fading. He spun away from her, still clutching his arm, and let out a desperate wail,
           “H-Help! HELP! Someone, over here! We need help!”
***
           It had been a long night, but he hadn’t left her side. Once, before she had been stabilized, her heart had stopped. The doctors had shoved him aside, and he was left at the edge of the room, forgotten, hardly able to breathe. The smell of blood still hung in the air, mixed with antiseptic. “Clear!” A thumping shock. He could see her body arch when the electricity pulsed through her. I care about you. He hadn’t been able to prevent tears from overflowing, rolling down his cheeks. Don’t leave me, Ochaco. Please, don’t leave me. Another shout. “Clear!” Another pulse, and then the soft beeping of the monitor. She’s alive.
When the sun shone through the windows the next morning, after hours of torturous thoughts running through his head, Izuku Midoriya finally saw Ochaco Uraraka’s eyes open. At first, in his sleep deprivation, he thought he imagined it. Then he saw the sunshine reflected in her irises, turning the chocolate brown a honey-gold. The smell of blood washed away into a distant memory when their eyes met and Izuku saw color return to her cheeks.
Ochaco spoke first, “Good morning.” Relief faded into anger.
“What in the world were you thinking?! You could have been killed!”
           “You could have been killed,” Ochaco said, still smiling. “You should know, Deku, I’d do anything for you. I… care about you.” Those words again.
           “W-wait…? What… what do you mean… by that?”
           “By…?”
           “What do you mean you care… about me?” It seemed impossible. If she meant what he didn’t even dare to hope… Ochaco groaned, struggling to sit up. “H-hey!” Izuku gasped, leaning closer to gently grab her shoulder. “What are you doing?”
           “I’m trying to show you,” she said, before leaning over and pressing a kiss to his cheek. Her very touch sent warm fire to his cheeks, making his whole face turn red. He opened his mouth to stammer out what probably would have ended up being some sort of extremely embarrassing response when the door burst open with a bang and Iida rushed in.
           “I heard about everything that happened! Are you alright?!” Izuku dropped his head in his hands to hide his blush. He could almost imagine the laughter in Ochaco’s eyes. He knew she was teasing him.
           “I’m fine,” Ochaco sighed, “But I think we all need sleep. Especially Deku, he’s been here all night. Will you walk him home?”
           “I’m fine,” Izuku mumbled into his hand, before daring to look up.
           “He does look tired,” Iida frowned. “We’ll let you get rest, Ochaco, so you can heal. Come on, Midoriya.” Iida practically dragged him to his feet.
           “You’ll come visit me later?” Ochaco asked, her cheeks bright pink. Izuku smiled, his heart pounding.
           “Yeah, I will.”

Change Your Mind: A Summary of All My Thoughts and Feelings
Alright fellas, strap in because this post, much like tonight’s episode, is going to be a real long one.
I want to try and organise this so the topics I’ll be addressing will (probably) be in the order of the episode progression. And if you haven’t seen the episode yet please DO NOT read this because it’s going to be ridden with spoilers.
Everyone good? Okay, let’s do this.
My feelings are basically just me screaming for about 3 hours, but I do have some actual opinions that I need to share because none of my friends have been watching the recent episodes and I’m DYING.
First things first: THE DIAMONDS. I was expecting emotional scenes because this is Steven Universe we’re talking about but HOLY SHIT that was a LOT!! I knew Blue Diamond was going to accept this the fastest (although that leak of her yelling at Steven had me scared) but the dialogue? 
“You were right to leave. I always thought that you were failing this world. But if you were happier on Earth, maybe this world was failing you.”
That’s such a powerful line and I love it so so much!! I also love the fact that she says this after Steven points out that it isn’t normal for her to use her crying powers on him as a punishment. The character development there is SO GOOD and it’s one of my favourite things about this episode!!
Yellow’s reaction was a tad bit different though, lol. For a while I wasn’t sure if she was going to “change her mind” and when the moment came and she did I cried! We all know that Yellow is the strongest of the the two because she thinks she has to be, and when she finally breaks down and admits that she’s been feeling opressed by White and that Homeworld’s system is flawed it felt so real and raw and relieving. Because she can finally be herself after thousands of years of her trying her hardest to not feel anything.
Next up: the new outfits and fusions!! Lapis and Peridot FINALLY GOT THEIR STARS IM SO SO HAPPY!!! And the fusions, where to even BEGIN AAAH!! 
While I was very happy to see Smoky Quartz again, we had all seen her before and so the only thing that was new was the outfit. Don’t get me wrong though, I loved seeing my bean again!
RAINBOW QUARTZ 2.0 RAINBOW QUARTZ 2.0 RAINBOW QUARTZ 2.0-
Pearl and Steven! Fused! And I am! So excited about that! Rainbow Quartz 2.0 being silly and making the ‘two stones with one bird’ joke had me laughing and I just love them with my whole heart!
SUNSTONE OH MY GOODNESS!! Sunstone was only on screen for about five minutes but in those five minutes they snatched my wig, my heart, and I think they’re my new favourite. I know that every fusion combines the aspects of it’s counterparts and the fact that Sunstone is a child-friendly PSA come to life is genius and adorable and I love it (I’ve been saying that a lot but it’s TRUE OKAY)!
OBSIDIAN!! THE TEMPLE FUSION!! THE FUSION DANCE BETWEEN THE FOUR OF THEM WAS ADORABLE AND I’M CRYING!!! THEY REALLY ARE A FAMILY AND SEEING THAT IN THE FUSION DANCE WAS SO CUTE AND HEARTWARMING AND I CAN’T TAKE IT!!
I also need to take a moment to say that I LOVE CONNIE, BISMUTH, LAPIS, AND PERIDOT, AND WITHOUT THEM THIS EPISODE WOULD NOT BE THE SAME AND JUST, AAAAAAAAAH!!!
But now that my screaming is (sort of) over, I have to tackle the biggest part of the finale: White Diamond.
Hoooooooooo boy that entire scene was a LOT to take in. First of all, we have White using her powers to take control of Blue, Yellow, Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl (and of course White/Pink Pearl but we knew about that one). That, I think, was the saddest moment of them all. And it’s not even that alone that got me upset, it was how White Diamond described it!
“As for me, I’m certain I don’t need you. After all, I’m every colour of the light! But you’re a part of me! A part I always have to repress.”
“Please stop helping them! You’ll only make things worse. That’s what you do! I make things better.”
“Now the impurities you’ve encouraged in them are gone!”
There’s a lot of other things she says that make me upset but those three pieces of dialogue in particular just, oh boy. White really believes (at least in that moment) that not only is Steven just Pink taking on another form to rebel, but that in order to get Pink to “show herself” or whatever, she has to break Steven down and verbally attack him. 
She pokes at every single one of his insecurites that we KNOW he’s had throughout the show and it’s heartbreaking to see! The smaller details with the gems being controlled really added to the horror and disgust I felt watching White monologue about how she well and truly believes that they are all flawed.
AND HER THEN TAKING STEVEN AND REMOVING HIS FUCKING GEM OH MY FUCKING LORD GUYS I FREAKED THE ABSOLUTE FUCK O U T!! I am not making this up, when that scene ended and the commercials started playing I threw the pillow that I was hugging on the other side of the couch, jumped up, and started pacing while whisper-screaming because I couldn’t actually scream around my family. Steven Universe has had it’s moments of horror (the Cat Fingers monster was one of the creepiest things I have ever seen), but I don’t think I’ve ever felt fear as genuine as that while watching this show (or just any cartoon in particular, really).
When the show resumed and we saw Steven’s gem reform separate from him, I got scared because for a split second we saw the outline of Pink Diamond and it would be the WORST if she were to reform - but that’s absolutely not what happened!! Instead we see a new, seemingly all-diamond version of Steven and the implications of that are ENORMOUS!! This is already addressed in the show, but it means that Steven has never been his mom and that he is absolutely his own person! And Steven’s fear that has been growing and growing throughout this arc has been shut down and I love that!
I need to take a moment to yell about the animation in the scene where Steven and his diamond self reunite, because HOLY SHIT it was POWERFUL. The animation in Steven Universe is, generally speaking, always on top of it and it makes you feel things when it needs to, but THAT SCENE? When Connie hands human Steven to diamond Steven and he starts cry-laughing out of happiness? The way they both laugh (and you can HEAR the genuine relief and joy) and the camera spins for a second? The way White’s eyes open in front of them after they both stop spinning? The background music building up to when Steven becomes himself again? I could go on and on about that but in summary - the cinematography in that scene was AMAZING and I would like to draw as much attention to that fact as possible.
(We’re almost at the end of my rant I promise, lol. If you’ve read this far, thank you!)
White’s realisation that she’s been wrong this whole time and she needs to ‘get out of her own head’ is written SO WELL!! She doesn’t admit it out loud (which makes sense because she’s been a perfection-seeking tyrant for years, it’s gonna take more time than that), but she breaks down and we get to see that she’s starting to question everything she’s ever known. Which doesn’t sound good, but to me it is because now she can finally start changing the way Homeworld is structured (and they returned to Earth and healed the corrupted gems, so that’s definitely a HUGE step in the right direction)!!
Lars and Sadie reuniting was wonderful, Steven and his dad reuniting was ALSO wonderful, and THE OFF-COLOURS!! WE SAW THEM AGAIN AND MOST LIKELY WILL GET TO SEE THEM AGAIN IN FUTURE EPISODES AND I’M HELLA EXCITED FOR THAT!!
The last thing I have to say before I go is the songs. Blew. Me. Away. Sadie singing Let Me Drive My Van Into Your Heart was so sweet and when it pans to Greg in the audience you can tell he loves it! I need to listen to the new Crystal Gems theme song because I don’t remember all of the lyrics at the moment but I DO remember that they were very powerful and reminded me of just how far this show has come and I love that a song is able to do that for me. The song that Steven sings at the end, ‘Change Your Mind,’ was short but sweet and the meaning it held!! Steven is finally on the path to accepting who he is and he’s realised that he doesn’t need the Diamond’s approval and I just am floored with that character development!!
And with that, I conclude my very long summary of thoughts and feelings! I know I definitely missed a lot of smaller details, but for the most part I think I managed to touch on just about everything major! Thank you for reading this far!

Confession
Drabble game! I had this laying around waiting for me to realease it. I got too inspired! I hope you like it even though I got kinda fluffy at the start! @francais404francais
Remember you all can request anything, not necessarily from the Drabble list, you can just request anything you want! Thanks for all the notifications and for reading my stuff!
Tumblr media
Jung Hoseok was your best friend from all your life and he was also your neighbor. You literally could open your windows and talk all night long through it since your houses were side by side.
You went to school together and now were even going to the same university. You were inseparable. His sister was your brother’s girlfriend and everyone in the family teased you that you would end up marrying Hoseok but you always took that as a joke, you didn’t think he was interested in you in those ways.
Tonight was your prom night and, of course, Hoseok was your prom date. He asked you in such a funny way. One day you were at the cafeteria eating lunch with your friends when suddenly he appeared with a boombox, blasted some music, got on the table, started dancing sexy for you and then his friends appeared holding a big poster that said “Can I have your prom dance?”. You couldn’t say no, besides he was your best friend after all.
There you were with your long pretty dress, your hairdo and perfect makeup waiting for him.
The doorbell rang and suddenly you felt butterflies in your stomach. You felt weird because it was only Hoseok but for some reason he was making you nervous.
Your mom opened the door to reveal a Hoseok in a tuxedo, looking more hansome than ever, holding your corsage. As soon as he saw you his jaw dropped dramatically. “Wow! Y/N you look gorgeous oh my god!”.
You blushed and smiled. “You look handsome yourself, Hoseok.”
“Shall we go? The limo is waiting for us,” he said while making you take his arm like the whole gentleman he was. Your parents were wild taking pictures and you both were as nervous and embarrassed. Finally you got into the limo and headed to the prom.
It was a wild night, full of drinking, dancing and laughter. You never left Hoseoks side and apparently he was happy about it.
As the prom ended you headed to a beach that was near, your heals in your hands while you were barefoot from the pain you had from so much dancing. Hoseok walked by your side, talking about nonsense. You sat on the sand with your pretty dress, not caring about anything. Hoseok sat by your side and for a moment you were both silent.
“Y/N...” he broke the silence.
“Yeah?”
“I-I have something to tell you,” he said kinda nervous.
“What is it?”
“Promise me you won’t panic and that nothing will change after this.” He held out his pinky finger. You were scared of what he was going to say, usually your pinky promises were as valid as anything serious. You trusted Hoseok so you interlocked pinkies, “Promise.”
“Y/N... i like you.”
You thought he was joking and said “Aww Hoseok, I like you too!”
“No Y/N, you don’t understand. I really like you as in more than friends, as I want to date you.”
Silence grew between you two. You sat there looking at the waves, thinking in what to say.
Hoseok was an splendid man, he spoiled you, he was always there for you, he listened to you, he supported you and he knew you really well. Physically he was hot, his smile was the best.
Considering you got nervous before when he picked you up, did you liked Hoseok? You started thinking about him in those ways. Taking his delicate hands, kissing his heart shaped lips, being under his perfect body... you started blushing at the thought, you were thankful that you were just under the moonlight and he couldn’t see you well.
“Say something please,” he said almost as a whisper. You took his hand, lacing fingers, he looked at you shocked.
“Hoseok, I would be honored to date you.”
He smiled, “So is that a yes?”
“It is.”
“Thank God! I was so nervous.”
“Silly!” You pushed him and he pushed you back making you fall completely to the sand. He started to tickle you. Your laughs sounded through all the place “Hoseok stop!!! HAHAHAH!”
He got on top of you, his thighs on each side of you, his expression changing to a serious one. He started getting closer to your face. You pulled him by the tie “Just kiss me already,” you smiled and he also smiled.
His lips touched yours tenderly, they started moving in synchronization with yours, slowly, taking their time to know each other. He then pulled away, looking directly to your eyes, you passed your fingers through his hair.
“You know how much I dreamt about this? It feels surreal,” he said.
You caressed his face, “We should go to the hotel room, it’s getting kinda cold.”
“Sure, let’s go.”
You never planned this, you never thought it would be so fast, but here you were kissing wildly, under Hoseok.
“Let me peel off your dress huh?” he said while kissing your neck. “You look beautiful in it but it’s bothering us already, don’t you think?” You just nodded out of breath.
“Get up,” he commanded and you obeyed. He was sitting on the edge of the bed holding your hips. “Turn around please.” He spun you, his hands running up your back, looking for the zipper. When his fingers found it, he started unzipping it slowly, enjoying every inch of skin exposed to him. He then slid the sleeves off your shoulders, his hands caressing down your arms. Your dress fell graciously, pooling on your feet. He then spun you again so now you were facing him.
Looking at you dazzled, eyes shining he said “Wow, you’re a goddess.” His hands held you still, then he started kissing your belly, going up your torso and down again kissing your thighs. “You’re beautiful Y/N” he whispered on your skin making you smile. “Come,” he invited you to the bed again.
He was kissing you again, his tongue reaching yours. Your hands started to unbutton his shirt and when his abs were finally exposed your hands were touching him everywhere. He was nervous, you could tell by the way his hands trembled. He was trying to unclasp your bra but his trembling hands didn’t help much. He finally did, his hands taking your bra and throwing it to the floor. He stopped everything to just look at you which made you a little uncomfortable.
“Relax, you’re beautiful. It’s just I still can’t believe it.”
You just smiled at him but then asked “Can you take off your pants? I feel like you’re still dressed while I’m here almost naked.”
“Sure, anything’s to make you comfortable.” He then unbuttoned his pants. He was struggling to take them off which made you laugh. “They don’t want to leave apparently,” he said being funny.
He started kissing you again, his mouth running from your mouth, to your neck to then reach your breasts. He looked at you directly into your eyes while taking a nipple inside his mouth, his tongue swirling around it and then he sucked it. You moaned from how sexy he looked “Ah~ Hoseok.” He winked at you and then moved to give attention to your other nipple. His hand moved down your torso, reaching between your legs, his fingers trying to get into your panties. They were spreading your folds to find your bundle of nerves and when they did he started drawing circles on it. A gasp escaped from your lips from the sudden shot of pleasure you were feeling. “Wow, you’re so wet.” He continued with this for a while until he knew you were ready to take his fingers.
A finger slipped into you making you hiss. He then started pumping it inside you, making you go crazy.
“You’re so tight Jagiya, are you a virgin?”.
“Hoseok, please don’t stop, your fingers feel so good,” you begged suddenly feeling surprised by your own words.
“I need to know baby, I need to prepare you well.”
“Yes, I am.” Feeling a little embarrassed of your confession.
“It’s okay, nothing to be ashamed of. Im happy I get to be your first,” he said proudly.
He then kneeled on the bed to take off your underwear. He grabbed it and then pull it down your legs, making you raise a little to finally take it off. You closed your legs feeling a little conscious. He started kissing your legs, down from your foot up to your knee then to your thigh. “Open them babygirl, it’s okay,” he whispered sweetly, caressing your thighs. You complied giving him access to your core.
He started running his nose, leaving butterfly kisses up you thighs until his mouth reached to your center. His hands still trembled while holding your legs apart. “Are you nervous Hoseok?” You asked him.
“I am. Having a goddess with you on bed is not easy.” You smiled at his response, he could always make you smile even in situations like these.
His finger started going up your slit, exploring you, his mouth dangerously close to your core. His fingers spread you and then his tongue started licking you. A sudden moan grew out of your throat. His tongue lapping on your clit furiously. Your breathing started to grow uneven and then you gasped when he suddenly sucked on you. “Oh Fuck!”
He was licking you faster, sometimes sucking, sometimes nibbling, making you a moan mess, his hands were pressing your thighs down to avoid them to close. “Ah! Hoseok it feels too good!” He grunted “Fuck, you’re really wet. You’re so ready.”
He stopped making you grunt of frustration. He laughed at your reaction “Patience Jagi, Im going to make you feel good with other things.”
“I want to suck you,” you said surprising him. He smirked and laid back on the bed. “Come, It’s waiting for you.” His voice sounded so sexy it made you shiver.
Taking the elastic of his boxers in your hands, you slid them down his legs, his erection springing free. You couldn’t avoid blushing a little when you saw his dick, it was perfect. “Like what you see?” He said laughing a little. “I love what I see,” you replied taking him by the base, his eyes very attentive on every move you made. You gave him a lick from the base to the tip, his mouth forming an o. Your tongue started swirling around his tip, he looked at you amazed, his hand taking your hair out of your face. You then took him into your mouth, going as down as you could his breathing stopped for a moment and when you went back up, sucking him, he let out a shaky moan “Ah~ yes!”
You started bobbing on him, he was biting his lower lip. He arched a little, his back going back “Shit! Jagi stop! You’re gonna make me cum. You’re so good!” You let go of him with a pop, leaving his gasping. “Wow! You’re really good, but now I’m going to take you all. Come, lie down.”
Suddenly you got nervous, he saw it in your eyes “Relax, you’re going to be okay. Unless you don’t want this, I can always wait until you’re ready.” He was so sweet, what did you do to deserve him?
“Im okay don’t worry. I’m just a little nervous.” He smiled and kissed you, “I’ll be back in a second.”
He got off the bed and went to look for something in his wallet. He climbed back into the bed with the tinfoil package, knowing what it was made you more nervous. He opened it and rolled it down his length.
“You’re ready?” You nodded out of words.
“Spread your legs for me baby.” His words were making you go insane, you sighed. “It’s going to be okay, Im going slowly okay?” He caressed your cheek.
He placed himself between your legs, you were watching every move he made. He started to rub his tip on your core, looking for your entrance, you let out a heavy sigh. “Relax, trust me.”
He then eased into you slowly. You flinched a little at the pain from the stretch. “Shit! Hoseok! It hurts!” You whimpered.
“Ah~Jagi, relax, you’re clenching me,” he whimpered too. You started taking deep breaths to ease the pain. When it stopped you nodded, he felt you relax and continued to go into you. “You’re okay?” he whispered. “Mjm,” you managed to say.
He started moving in and out slowly. It was starting to feel good. “You’re so tight, wow.”
“Mmmff! It feels so good,” you moaned.
He took that as a hint to go a little faster. His hips moved sinfully. This new feeling was something you wanted to repeat over and over again.
“You look amazing my love,” he said pounding into you. You both were a sinful melody, combining moans, sighs grunts and whimpers. His moans were driving you insane. “Shit Hoseok, you’re driving me insane! Please don’t stop!”
He shifted his position to one where he could reach deeper into you, putting one of your legs on his shoulder. He was reaching your sweet spot, that spot you didn’t know it was reachable. “Fuck! Hoseok! Right there!” you screamed.
“You like it there? Yeah?” he said in a breathy moan.
“Uuuu! Harder please!”
Hoseok was now hitting you harder, the hotel bed moving with you. Your hands were scratching his back, your nails digging deep leaving marks and he moaned because of it “Fuck! Y/N!”
You then felt a knot in your stomach, trying to be freed. Hoseok noticed you were clenching “Are you gonna cum babygirl?” He started going faster, trying to make you reach your high. “Oh fuck! Hoseok!”
Your legs started trembling, you were on the edge of exploding. “Cum baby, let go,” he whispered in your ear. Yo felt your eyes roll, your body stiffened and a scream left your lips. A shiver ran through all of your body and then a feeling of relaxation took over your body.
Hoseok’s cursings brought you back to reality “Fuuuuck! Im gonna cum baby.” You couldn’t talk, you were too fucked up at the moment. He crashed on you, the sexiest moan sprouting from his lips, you felt him pulsing into you. He started kissing your cheeks, your neck, wherever his lips reached. He pulled out off you, taking off the condom, making a knot and throwing it into a trashcan.
He came back to the bed to cuddle you.
“How do you feel?” he asked while caressing your hair.
“I feel amazing, though Im a little tired.”
“Let’s sleep it off, yeah?”
“We should.”
He closed his eyes, you were studying him, how perfect he looked so close and so innocent. “Hoseok?”
“Yeah Jagiya?”
“Do you still like me?”
He opened one eye to look at you, “I like you even more now.” He then rolled over, pecked your lips and you both went to sleep.

I don’t generally share the things my friend and I write but.. I kind of felt like it...
o-o if you need me I will just be like.. over in this corner hiding..
thinking of the things I have done...
____                                                                                                                ____
Beau wiggled excitedly and wrapped her arms around the girl next to her. "We're here!" The whole town was decorated and stalls lined the streets, it was truly a sight to behold!
This festival was a grand once a year event that both girls-well Beau had talked about going for years, it was also a great chance to sneak away and get a look at the academy before she planned on attending. Suddenly, everyone got really loud and excited. Nika caught Beau's attention and pointed, her friend squealed. The knights and students from the academy were arriving to test their skills at the games again and in the front was the elite guard.
Among the elite was the previous champions Taryn and Kaylen, there were rumors that they had very strange magic.. ancient magic. Something only spoke of in legends... The taller of the two, Taryn, ducked down and whispered something in the other girl's ear, causing a bright blush. Kaylen shoved her laughing partner and waved as she mumbled something to her.
Though as soon as the attention was off them for just a second they were gone.
"Where did they go?! D-do you think we can meet them??" Beau turned to Nika and then looked away again to try and spot the knights.
Nika giggled, “maybe, if we’re lucky~ they’re shorter than I expected.. I don’t know why I pictured them like six feet tall..~” She pushed a lock of hair behind her ear and looked around at the crowds, throngs of people cheering and laughing and yelling, and pressed just a little closer to her friend. There was a little nagging feeling in the pit of her stomach that something didn’t feel right - like today was really important but she didn’t know why.
Beau tilted her head curiously, "Are you ok, Nika?" She looked down at her and frowned. "Wanna go sit down somewhere?" Something didn't feel right... The feeling over being watched washed over them for a season before vanishing.
Beau shivered and looked around. "Did you feel that?"
“The hairs on the back of your neck? Yeah..” Nika made a face. She shook her head and smiled at her, dimples in each cheek. “It’s probably nothing. Want to try one of those frozen bananas? Look they made them look like swords..~”
"Really??" Beau turned and tugged in her hand. "Oh, man those look great!!" She led Nika to the stand and paid for two little banana swords and grinned at her companion.
"Bananice~"
Beau laughed loud at her expression and yelped when someone knocked into them. "Oh sorry!" The redhead before them scratched the back of her head and laughed nervously. Her dark-haired friend rolled her eyes and smacked her shoulder, "Excuse my friend. She never looks where she is goin-um are you ok?"
Beau stared wide-eyed at them and nodded. "Y-Yeah..!!" They were there in front of her and she was holding a banana sword..!! "I um..!!" Kaylen sighed and looked up at Taryn, there was no time for this. "If we want time to ourselves we need to get gone before they find us." That caught her partner's attention and suddenly Taryn was leading Kaylen away again.
“Ah wait...!” Nika dropped Beau’s hand and ran after them, waving the banana blade. She hesitated, blushing, when they turned back and stared at her. “Ah..! It’s just, you’re kind of her heroes~ Beau was hoping we’d—“ she looked back, where had her starstruck friend gone??
Taryn looked torn, she sighed and smiled. "We can help you find her and then hang out for a little bit. The games aren't for a while anyway." Kaylen frowned a little, something was wrong but she couldn't place what it was... Moving closer to Taryn, the younger girl took her hand. "Let's go before we totally lose her. You said her name is Beau? What is yours?"
Something rumbled in the distance and the sky gained a reddish hue, a portal appeared behind Nika and released a handful of large beasts and dread knights. "And I thought it was going to be boring today..." Kaylen laughed and snatched up a sword so she could block the ax that was going to hit their new friend.
"You should get to safety."
“What.. is..” Nika was frozen, taking in the chaos in front of them like she wasn’t really seeing it - couldn’t really be seeing it. It didn’t feel real.
The clash of axe on Kaylen’s sword broke her trance. Nika screamed, “Beau— where did she go?! She was right behind me..!”
Taryn called her spear and cut down the next beast. "We will find your friend, but you need to go with those knights over there." There was no time for them to stay and talk so they ran ahead to clear the chaos. Kaylen glanced back hoping that Nika was heading for safety, "Do you think she'll be alright?"
"Of course! Khellar will make sure everyone makes it." Taryn stopped and grabbed her partner's hand, tugging her closer so she could rest their foreheads together. "Everything will work out. Just trust me Kaylen.."
*******
Beau huffed and held her sword tight, "NIKAA!!!" she dodged most of the monsters and weaved between buildings while she searched. "Where are you..?" What if something happened?! No. "No, she's fine. NIKA!" Beau growled and ignored the voice in her head, after this, she was never letting go of her hand again. *******
She’d made it halfway to the knights before realizing that she couldn’t leave Beau behind- she’d only hesitated for a moment when one of the monsters crashed into another building and her path forward was completely blocked, then her path back when she’d tried to turn around. The chaos swallowed her cries for help - the smoke and smell of blood was burning her nose. “Beau...! BEAU...! Where did you go..! Wh- ack..! Agh- where are you...!” 
A loud furious roar was cut off and something large hit the ground. Beau hooked an arm around Nika from behind, "Don't move. there is a very large beast watching us from the roof over there. Are you hurt...? I'm sorry about earlier. I tripped and you were gone..."
“Beau..!” Nika squeaked and turned into her, her chin raised and tears spilling down her face. “I shouldn’t have let go..! I just wanted to catch them b-before— I’m sorry! H-how are we going to get out of here..??”
Beau glanced up at the griffin looking monster, it was watching something else now. The girl let out a breath and hugged Nika tight. "I'll think of something.. I'm just so glad you are alright..."
The small rumble shook the ground and when Beau looked up the griffin was moving closer, she moved Nika behind her and raised the sword she was carrying. "Stay behind me..." It managed to separate them and she swore that the beast grinned before it ran at Nika. Beau screamed and darted forward, as fast as she could. The next thing she knew there was a blinding pain tearing up from her neck and across her face, soldiers were coming now. She could just barely hear them over the raging griffin. Beau groaned and she shoved Nika away when it lashed out again and grabbed her.
The soldiers watched it fly away with what they thought was a body while their captain checked Nika over. "Are you hurt??"
“BEAU!!!” Nika screamed and fought the soldier holding her shoulders back. “No..!! No!!!! Y-you have to get her back!! G-go get her back!!!”
******* This was dragging now... the spear wielder wasn't sure how much longer she could go on. Something was approaching quickly now, so with a groan, she shook the stars from her vision and looked up waiting for it to draw closer.
Taryn threw her spear up and it pierced the griffin's chest, when the beast hit the ground she realized that the girl it was clutching was still alive. Stumbling closer she smiled, "Hey... you are.. are that girl's friend..." the one they bumped into earlier. The knight dropped to her knees next to Beau and healed her the best she could. "Don't-Don't worry... I gotcha and Kaylen will get you back.."
Speak of the blue devil, Kaylen crouched next to her partner and scowled, "Stop you'll die this way... I told you not to move." There was a large piece of wood sticking out of Taryn's side, she wheezed and leaned on the girl next to her. "I know, I know.." They were closing in now, the hellspawn had them surrounded. She laughed and looked down at Beau, her reddish eyes flashed briefly and it was decided.
"I would have looked really-really good in that bright orange armor. I was looking forward to that you know?"
"Don't be silly you still have time Tary--" Kaylen's world tilted and she fell over, why couldn't she move?? "Wh..at..?" her words slurred and she was pretty sure she scowled. "Sorry.." That grin. Right now she had never hated it so much. Taryn leaned down and kissed her. "Please don't be angry with me... I love you so much but I.. I can't sit by and do nothing. I'll see you again.." Standing tall, the almost knight raised her spear and released her magic all at once.
People would say that a blinding light ripped through that whole area and eradicated the beasts that day. Kaylen would never talk about how they found holding Taryn close as she let out the most heart-wrenching wails.

How to overcome the fear of water?
…or A Mildly Fishy Fairytale about the creatures of the sea…
It wasn’t until very much later in life, that Link came to remember the curious events from his early childhood. He went trough puberty, college and a significant career as an engineer never thinking about that day. All that was left in his memory about the day, when he nearly drowned in the Pacific ocean, was a terrible fear of drowning whenever he got submerged in water. Until his late thirties, that fear kept him away from all pools of water. He never dipped himself in the ocean, and he hated bath tubs. But he had learned to live on land and so he did, until that day it all came back to him.
Link severly disliked the beach. He only came here for one reason, and that reason was his baby dog, Jade. Jade was an adorable little creature, but unlike her owner, she loved the ocean. She didn’t know anything quite as enjoyable as frolicking at the water line, getting splashed by the waves and tasting the salty droplets of water on her nose. If it wasn’t for Jade, Link would never have come to the beach. He liked the desert.
But watching Jade was one of the few joys in his un-eventful life. Here he was, 38 years old, single and miserable. He was great at his job at a reputable computer company, he had all the money he could ever need, a nice house at a good location…but no actual life. When was the last time he went on a date? He couldn’t remember. He only adopted Jade to meet the ladies, but now, two years later, Jade was the only female being in his life. He loved Jade, without a doubt, but he longed for that true love other people kept talking about. There was a hole in his heart, as if a part of him was missing, and he so wanted to fill it with someone.
Being forced to come out of his deep thoughts, Link turned his head towards the water line, where Jade was barking frantically at something. There was a large something, being flushed by the waves, just where the water met the white sand. At first Link thought it was a dolphin - they were known to be washed to the shore sometimes - but as he walked closer, he realized it was something else. When he saw the beam of sunlight reflect from what appeared to be a lock of golden hair, his heart dropped with horror. Was it a person? And then he ran.
As soon as he got to the water line, he ordered Jade to back off and took a closer look at whatever was laying in front of him. He saw a tall, tan man with curly golden hair and a majestic beard. The man’s upper torso was bare, and Link saw a worryingly large wound under his chest. A trickle of blood was running down his side, mixing with the ocean water. Feeling concerned and anxious, Link moved his eyes lower on the man’s body to see if anything else was injured.
‘What the crap?!’ he yelled, confused, as he stared at where the man’s legs should have been. Instead of seeing normal legs and feet, he saw a…a tail? A fish tail, only bigger than any fish tail he’d ever seen. It was covered with shining, silver and blueish scales, which made the lower part of the mans body sparkle like a huge pile of diamonds. It was a glorious sight, but what the hell was it? Link swallowed nervously, as he thought to himself:‘Is that a mermaid? No, a merman of course, that is not a female!’
Link carefully reached his hand to touch the weird creature in front of him, and as his fingers gently touched the bearded face, the creature opened his eyes, grunting silently as he turned his head to look at Link. The mysterious green eyes seemed to look straight into Link’s soul, and he quickly pulled his hand away, as if burned by the heat radiating from the merman’s skin.
‘Please, help me!’ said the merman, ‘You need to pull me out of the water, before the sharks come back!’ Then he closed his eyes and appeared to lose his conciousness. Link, feeling restless at the closeness of the water and possible sharks, didn’t hesitate for a second. He was smaller than the sea creature, but he was fit. The panic gave him superhuman strength, and with ease, he pulled the fishtailed man ashore.
'Now what am I supposed to do?’ Link thought to himself, staring at the merman. The sun was scorching his neck, and he was concerned about the creature’s ability to survive on dry land. However, to his amazement, he suddenly saw the glistening tail start to turn into human feet and in no more than a blink of an eye, he was looking at a naked, tall man. A man, who was still bleeding, but who also happened to be quite a sight with his long lean legs. This unfamiliar sight made Link just a little confused, but he brushed the strange emotions aside, when he saw Jade going at the bearded man’s face, licking his forehead the way dogs do. 'Come on, Jade! Don’t do that!’
He didn’t have the time to pull Jade away, when the now-full-human merman opened his eyes again. 'It’s okay, I like dogs. Thank you, Link, for saving my life.’
The merman looked at Link again, with his amazing eyes. Link couldn’t help but blush under his gaze. 'How do you know who I am?’ he asked, more confused than ever.
'I guess it would be unfair to expect you to remember me’, said the stranger, as he slowly moved into a sitting position. Was his chest starting to heal? Link could hardly believe his eyes. 'We’ve met before. I’m Rhett. 30 years ago I saved you from drowning in the ocean.’
Link looked at the merm…at Rhett with amazement. A faint memory from distant childhood was starting to emerge. A vacation by the beach, Nana telling him not to swim too far…But he had seen a really pretty shell in the bottom of the ocean, and he’d really wanted to take it to his Nana, so he swam further…The memories were flooding in his mind now, the current having taken him too far, him getting too tired to fight the waves, then passing out…He remembered having woken up in his deck chair next to Nana, holding that pretty shell in his hand, after a sweet dream about mermaids and a golden boy about his age. That wasn’t a dream? How could he have forgotten all about it?
He looked back at Rhett, remembering now the warmth he had felt in his heart that day years ago, waking up from that dream. This was that same golden dreamboy, but now he was a beautiful golden man, staring intensively at Link with a warm smile on his face. Link felt the warmth of the sun slowly spread through his skin, all the way to his soul, warming up every corner of his body and mind. He felt the strange connection, formed years ago on that strange day at the beach, emerging again as the hole in his heart started to fill up and close. All of a sudden, he felt whole again, for the first time in a very long time.
'I remeber now,’ he said, 'You’re my soulmate. I’ve been looking for you all my life.’ Link reached his hand to touch Rhett’s face again, and he saw a small tear form in Rhett’s eye, ball up and run down his cheek. 'And I’ve waited so long for you to come back.’ Rhett smiled through his tears and grabbed the smaller man into his arms, embracing him tightly.
Link slowly started to realize his whereabouts, and the fact he was standing at an empty (thank god for that) beach, being held by an overly tall naked man, and being stared at by a silent tiny dog. He blushed thoroughly and pulled away from Rhett’s arms.
'What are we supposed to do now?’ he asked the tall man, who appeared to carry all the wisdom of the world in his mind. Rhett picked Jade up from the sand, into his arms, and gave her a little smooch. Then he reached his arm to pull Link back to him, laughed heartfeltedly and said:’ All you need to do is love me and kiss me, and you’ll turn into a merman just like me.’ Link’s heart was full of hope, but he still hesitated:'But what about Jade? I can’t leave her!’ Rhett lifted Jade higher in his arm, so she could reach to lick his face again. 'Don’t worry, silly! Jade already loves me, now she’s kissing me, and well, she will love my merdog, Barbara, too. I told you I like dogs, didnt I?’
Link hesitated no more. He raised his eyes to look at Rhett once more, gave him a long, loving smooch, and smiled. This was all he had ever hoped for, and it was perfect. Rhett lowered Jade back to the ground, grabbed Link’s silly t-shirt by the chest, and in one swift move, tore it apart. 'Now, let’s go for a dip in the ocean’, he murmured and ran away. Link watched him dive into the waves, quickly undressed himself, and joined him with Jade loyally by his side. Never again was Link afraid of the water, as for now, he had love to keep him safe.
The end.
Thank you for reading my little fairy-tale. This was partially inspired by the beautiful merman drawings by @jannelle-o and others under the #merrhett tag (I’m sorry I can’t remember your names, I love your art!), and by GMM #781. I have every intention to illustrate this story with my own Mythical Mer-family art, but until then, here’s just the text version :). Again, I would love to hear your comments - personally, I kinda like where this story went :).
