Sophia, the Boston woman from 1875 who haunts a lamp I got at Brimfield: what is a stay at home girlfriend, if you please?
me: well, it's a woman who's financially supported by the man she's dating, and she lives with him and usually keeps house and cooks for him
her: and they're not married?
me: well, no; hence "girlfriend" rather than "wife." I know that may alarm y-
her: oh calm down I know about Kept Women. he has no legal tie to her, though? she has no sort of standing with him in the eyes of the law? only his word that he'll follow through?
me: yes
her: and remind me again- you don't have to be financially dependent on a man anymore, right? there are more than like three careers open to women that will let you support yourself at a decent level now? and society isn't pressuring you 24/7 to get married and stop working outside the home?
me: yes
her: so these women. CHOOSE to be dependent on a man. who could leave them at any moment without legal consequence. because they don't like their jobs. the jobs, while imperfect, that let them live on their own, answerable to no-one
me: yes
her: that had better be some absolutely amazing jewelry they can pawn off if he leaves them, then
me: it's usually not
her: THERE'S NOT EVEN SECURITY JEWELRY?!
me: oh by the way they blame feminism for "having to work"
her:
her: I became fully dependent on my in-laws who hated me, after my husband died two years into our marriage, because I was a 23-year-old orphan with no marketable skills in any avenue besides Running A Household and the only men left unmarried in my social circle were widowers thirty years my senior. I also couldn't establish lines of credit as a widow because the merchants said my husband dying so soon meant that I didn't have stable enough income. and that was entirely legal
me: yeah
her: I'm going to go slam some doors please do not bother me
#please don't fall for the stay-at-home girlfriend nonsense the door slamming is really loud#women's history#sophia the ghost#this is becoming a Thing now

what if reader is a cat burglar and breaks into pitfighter vi’s apartment one night and vi catches her and at first she thinks it’s kinda funny and says “are you dumb? there’s nothing in here worth stealing.” but then she sees how cute and scared reader is and decides to punish her for her actions
CONTENT: Vi x fem! reader, spanking (r! receiving), fingering & oral sex (r! receiving), spit play, hair-pulling, impact play, overstimulation, rough sex, degradation & some praise, dom / sub roles (dom vi, submissive reader), punishment, aftercare in the end
WORD COUNT: 3.1K
A/N: Thank you for the request I loved this one! Also if it's unclear because I only hinted to it, Vi comes back early because she forgot her bandages!! Enjoy<3
Your hands leisurely sift through the jewelry box, fingers brushing against a few rings and necklaces. Then, you feel it. Jackpot. A beautiful emerald, a real emerald necklace. You recall your friend telling you about how Pilties loved their jewels; frisking the accessory out of the box, you didn't expect to find such quality from an undercity home. Once again, another good snag. You smiled to yourself in pride though you were alone and slipped out the window you came out of, onto the night to bring your find to an.. 'old friend.'
The door jingled so comically and shut behind you. There, standing behind a tall desk and in front of shelves of treasures was Harlan: the pawn man of Zaun. He was intimidatingly tall and a snake if you ever did see one, but he was convenient, his building open at all hours of the night. Though most came to sell their own items, he didn't particularly need to know that yours were not technically.. well, yours. All he needed was something to sell up to the top-siders.
"Well, well, well. You've got something new for me today?" Voice so nasal, you'd think he was always in bouts of allergies, but no. Just a natural snake. "Show me what you've got for me, dear."
Your grin was as wide as the Cheshire cat's, "you'll never believe the haul, Harlan."
With raised brows, he bit. "How much?"
"One." Your hands found purchase at the front of his desk, amusingly starting up at his now impatient expression.
"You've come to me with only one item?" He sighed. "Fine, show me. What's so great about your find?"
Your toothy smile only widened, having lured him in for the catch. Then, your nimble hand fished through your pocket, pulling out the fish in question, the emerald shining as if to say, "I cost more than your Zaun home is worth by twice-over."
You had him hooked, and you were happily able to return back to your home with a bag of coins and a few heaps of gold stuffed into your pockets. Once your feet returned back to your humble apartment, you were quick to collapse onto your stiff mattress.
Your life mainly consisted of the routine of thievery. At night, you dressed to cover yourself and bade off to homes to snatch their possessions. From watches to even just coin itself, you were particularly good at going undetected. This was all you knew, and you didn't feel an ounce of empathy. What was fair was fair game, and what wasn't fair were the cards you were dealt with early into your childhood; why should anyone be offered what is simply 'fair', if you are not? You had rent to pay, your own mouth to feed, and everyone in Zaun in fact knew that money did equate to happiness. Everyone in Piltover may have been able to snuff those thoughts down as they mindlessly bought their way through life, leading more extravagance in a nanosecond than any person who'd lived in the undercity could see in a century-length lifetime.
Tomorrow, you thought, would be an even better haul. You usually did not plan through missions, for you were witty and able to go undetected. However, you knew what apartment to pick from tonight. You knew who to pick from, more precisely stated.
Her shoulders were broad, her hair dark. A glint of metal from her piercing flickered through visions, and her betters were smug. Vi was the name all undercity could ever think to talk about anymore. Vi was well-known for her abilities in the ring, and you knew she had a lot of money in her pockets from that. Little did you know that all of the cash went straight to brothels and beer, not to anything you could pick-pocket, though you did love a good quality drink or two.
You planned the perfect burglary: leave before Vi's first fight of the night starts so that she won't be in her apartment for a while, giving you enough time to find yourself her most valuable possessions. Every fight probably lasted under 15 minutes, but that did not include the time she spent at the bar with Loris or preparing for fights, so that added quite some extra time onto however many fights she'd be taking on that night. When you were satisfied with the haul, you would be careful not to leave a trace of yourself anywhere or make any noise that may pin you to the crime; you heard rumors that Vi was sweet on enforcers, and you wondered if that meant that she could possibly make it easier for you to be pinned to all of the robberies in the under-city if she were to ask for it. A trial like that? You'd be easily looking at decades.
You knew that without a doubt, this could go terribly wrong. Not only was Vi disgustingly connected to enforcers, but she was extremely strong. If you were to be caught, your life could be on the line. You weren't weak, but you were in no means fit to take on any pitfights, let alone Vi. However, you were quite foolish and the money from the emerald necklace would only get you so far. Plus, what's wrong with stealing from some enforcer suck-up?
So, you carried out your grand plan. At 8 p.m, the first fight began. Vi had not locked her front door, which surprised you but you were ironically grateful. Made it a lot easier than slipping through a window. Now, here you were, in Vi's apartment.
Taking it all in left you dumbfounded, to say the last. There was almost nothing in sight worth stealing. The room was tinier than you could even imagine; hell, it was smaller than your apartment and that was saying a lot. How in the world does a successful woman like Vi live in a place the size of a college dorm? The bed was hardly a mattress, and all of the valuable items you expected to see within the room were somewhat empty bottles of alcohol, dirty clothes all over the floor, and a few empty plates. Really the only thing worth stealing was the punching bag, but that would be difficult to carry, and you couldn't fit it in any bag you had on you. You momentarily noticed Vi's bandages on the mattress (if you could call it that), which was peculiar knowing that she was known for always fighting with those wrapped around her hands, but you were starting to panic over the fact that you plan was for naught. In a bit of a frenzy, you began sifting through her wooden nightstand's drawers for anything of importance. A flask, a small amount of coins, and a palette of black eye-shadow was all. And then, before you could get a chance to even take those items, you were caught.
"What the fuck are you doing in here?" The door slammed. You whipped back around to see her standing a few feet away, looking cautious but not exactly furious.
"I-I..I was just..." Your words seemed to fail you. Everything you could think of, any possible explanation, it all vanished. You thought of coming clean, but she quickly caught you off guard with a burst of laughter.
"Oh my god, are you that thief everyone's been complaining about?! It's you?" She didn't sound even irritated anymore, just purely entertained. You stood, defensiveness creeping into you.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" You shouted, fingers clenching into fists. Okay, so you did not appear to be thief material, to say the least. You didn't look like some big-time robber, only like a 20 year old girl. Still, you almost wished she would've just turned you in. This was humiliating.
"It's just that... you're visiting me of all people? Are you that stupid? There's not a single thing in here even worth taking. You could probably find a mouse who lives in the wall and sell it for more than this place is worth." She laughed once more, looking over your body in a way that made you both offended and somehow hot.
"Oh, please. Says the one who's soft on the top-siders." Your mouth was going to get you in a lot of trouble, it seemed.
Vi's laughed quickly died down, and she began walking towards you. There was nowhere to go but backwards until your back hit the wall. "You wanna say that again, thief? I could have you rot in Stillwater, you know." That threat caused you to begin to panic. You'd heard countless stories of what the guards do to their prisoners, and you didn't think you could even survive an hour in one of those cells.
"I'm sorry, please don't...please don't tell anybody. I'll do anything."
"Anything?" Vi raised a brow at that.
"Yes! I'll do anything, I'll give you all the cash on me, I'll never break into another house again, just..." You were starting to sound desperate, and Vi seeing some cute thief begging, offering her anything at all for her troubles... a wicked idea popped into her brain.
"I wanna fuck you."
"What...?"
"You heard me. I was planning on spending tonight's earnings on the brothel, but you'll work, I guess."
Her demand was met with silence. For some reason, more heat spread through your face at the thought of getting fucked by Vi than you'd care to admit. You knew that if you agreed, she probably wouldn't go easy. Then again, you didn't exactly have a choice. You were in her apartment after trying to take all of her shit. Before you could protest any further, Vi had you pinned against her wall, a hand gripping your chin to keep you from looking away. Her next words were quiet and low.
"Thieves deserve to get punished, am I right?" She let out a small hum at the way your breath hitched, "I mean, 'specially the pretty ones. So what'll it be, sweetheart?"
Your eyes widened at her words. "W-What will...what be?"
Vi laughed, a soft sound. "What'll it be? The enforcer's idea of punishment or mine?"
Your body was already betraying you, heat fluttering in your lower stomach at her words. This was the last thing you were expecting at the previous worries of getting caught, but you had to admit that Vi was hot. She had experience, too. You swallowed and tried to keep a steady voice with her.
"You."
Vi was a fucking maniac, you concluded.
She had you laid naked across her lap, your ass red with her handprint. Her hand spent what felt like hours slamming down onto your ass-cheeks, hitting both with an amount of force you knew that she contained, but didn't expect to feel. Each smack required a number. She forced you to count each and every spank, and if you hesitated for too long or lost count, she would start over. You didn't even remember how many times you were forced to restart because each blow on your rear left you a mess. All the while, she'd throw filthy words at you, somehow causing your pussy to grow wet and drip onto her mattress.
"Whores get punished when they get greedy. You'd know all about that, wouldn't you baby?"
SMACK!
"Every time I spank you, you seem to get even more soaked. A damn mess all over my bed. It's okay, baby. You'll make up for it."
SMACK!
When you were thinking about getting punished sexually, you imagined just a rough fuck. Maybe some heavy kissing and the usual lesbian stuff, not to be bent over this girl's lap and spanked like it was discipline, forced to count and basically stripped of any ounce of dignity your soul had. You had to admit that you loved it, though. The more her hand met your skin, the louder you got. It was absolutely hell, and you looked like it, too. Your hair that was once tied back was frizzy and tangled from the amount of times she'd gripped it to lift your head up. Your eyes were watery, rimmed with tears that reached your cheeks. Your bottom lip was sore and swollen from you biting down onto it to brace yourself for her punishment. Each moment was absolute torture.
And just when you thought it was over, Vi's fingers slipped inside of you, giving you no time to adjust before fucking you senseless. You cried out at the mix of pleasure and pain, trying to squirm away but Vi's hand on your hip kept you right in your place on across her lap.
"O-Oh, fuck!! Vi, please, take it easy on me-" You didn't even sound like yourself now, your voice broken from all of the crying and your words muffled from your face in the mattress. You were so fucking embarrassed, naked on top of this woman's thighs with her fingers thrusting into your pussy like she hated you. You were convinced she did.
"Why should I take it easy on you? You're just a filthy thief who's desperate enough to steal from anyone, and apparently desperate to get fucked." She berated you, voice so unlike what you'd heard before when she was lightheartedly laughing at you for breaking in.
"It's too much, please!! I can't take it.." You pleaded, crying into her pillow. It was too much, that much was true. Each hit to your g-spot wasn't like a brush but instead like a punch to it, and it felt like overstimulation before you were even able to cum yet.
Vi seemed to take mercy on you, at least that was what you assumed.
Her digits slipped out of you, but before you could sigh in relief, she had you flipped over and onto your back, laid out on top of her mattress with your legs spread in a matter of seconds. Soon, one hand returned to your pussy, three fingers pumping into you at a relentless pace as her other hand gripped your chin. Her eyes were dark with something you weren't used to seeing in anyone, and you began to realize why she was so good at fighting - she was fucking insane.
"Open that fuckin' mouth of yours. Right now." You didn't even wait to oblige, quickly parting your lips which were spilling out whines and cries for mercy. Vi spit into your mouth and used her own hand to close your jaw. "Now, swallow."
You swallowed graciously, and a flutter went through you at her taste. She hadn't even kissed you yet, and you now wanted her to. Her saliva was thick with alcohol and iron, perhaps from blood from a previous fight, but you needed more.
"V-Vi, need a kiss.." You begged breathlessly, expecting her to cave.
"You think you deserve a kiss?" You nodded eagerly, trying your best to even maintain the conversation with her fingers picking up in speed. "Yeah? You're getting a kiss after you've learned your goddamn lesson."
Before you could even whine in protest, Vi's head was between your legs, making out with your sopping cunt while three fingers curled to meet your g-spot. "You wanna complain about me fucking you like this, but you're soaking wet enough to take it and this sweet pussy's just clenching around my fingers like she never wants me to leave," she pulled away to remark before diving back in, tongue circling around your swollen bud.
"Oh, fuck!! Vi, no- You're gonna make me cum, Vi!!"
Only, Violet didn't seem to care. In fact, she wanted you to. She wanted you to so that she could do it again, and again, and again.
Vi coaxed the first orgasm out of you with the flat of her tongue and a deep plunge into your stretched-out hole. Each flick of her tongue sent you both squirming away and bucking up into her mouth. Every hit your sweet insides endured had you only gripping at her stained mattress harder. You cried, pleaded, and begged her for more. You could feel her smile against your pussy. She'd give you more, alright.
You were starting to regret your word when her mouth stayed latched to your clit and her fingertips abused your spongey, tender insides. You were practically fucked raw now, ass still red and sore, cries sounding more like a wounded animal than a real girl, and all you could even process was the sensations. You forgot what you came here for, forgot about wanting a kiss. You wanted mercy.
The second orgasm was a brutal paradise. Ecstasy flowed throughout your body in waves until once again, your pussy was feeling the raw overload of pleasure she was dealing you. You didn't remember how many more times this cycle continued, only that by the end of it, your lower half was numb and you recalled through teary vision, her chin coated in your juices and her lips parting to suck the taste off of her own fingers.
When she was finally done with you, she pulled you into her lap and held you tightly. Sure you were a little thief, but a cute one. Vi wasn't a monster. Her hands traced patterned over your back and squeezed you tightly. You sniffled, still coming down from the intensity of it all.
"Shh, you were a good girl 'f me...took it all and now you're here in my lap.." she comforted you, planting her lips onto your hair.
Then, you remembered what you really wanted to feel before you had to leave.
"Can I please get a kiss?" Your head pulled from her shoulder so that you could see her. Vi nearly melted at your eyes staring up at her, so vulnerable and in need of her care.
Of course she leaned in, pressing her lips onto yours with a gentle warmth just for you to have. She didn't rush it or invade your mouth, only spoiling you with her tender affection you craved after her harsh lesson. Her lips made soft smacking sounds against yours, causing you to softly hum against her mouth and lean in closer for more. You needed this stranger's care more than you needed anything else in that moment. When you pulled away, you placed your head onto her bandaged chest, letting her heart beat and sweet coos lull you to slumber. You ended up falling asleep in her arms, and you hoped to come back to her apartment, but rather for her than for stealing. Your body ached with the previous events, but Vi's hold on you didn't leave you throughout the night, squeezing you so softly to hear those sweet, sleepy squeaks.

All For One
TW: nsfw, noncon, yandere, captive reader, mind deterioration
fem reader
All For One has a habit of subjugating you for his own pleasure.
It’s a game he likes to play—quite like chess, only… you start off with a single pawn, and you don’t know any of the rules. And he’s been world champion ten years in a row. And he plays dirty.
Tonight, he’s dressed you up in a costume. Not any old Halloween costume, but a slutty one. Not a playboy bunny or a maid, nor a schoolgirl—this was worse—a sleazy rendition of your old hero uniform.
You’d barely recognized the faintly familiar design when he first laid it out on the bed for you. Silly and naïve, you thought his games of derision would end when you finally offered your submission, but that was a fool’s thought. What fun were you if not proof of his undying victory—a reminder, a trophy, a relic?
It’s beyond degrading. Tight and revealing. Less than an actual costume, it was more something one would wear in the bedroom, cosplaying for some fantasy starring an overly sexualized you. Only God knows where he’d gotten it from.
Your steel armor, once with the dignity of a knight, had instead been swapped out for a silly silver bikini—the shimmery fabric tacky and cheap, allowing your nipples to peak forth. Covering it was a top and a skirt made up of silver chains, which only further mocked the appearance of chainmail—looking more like the jewelry a stripper might wear.
He’d forgone your helmet, boots, and sword entirely. Truly, if it weren’t for the detailing of the pattern making the fabric vaguely resemble plated armor, it wouldn’t have been much different from any other set of lingerie.
And still, it’s just similar enough to make it sting.
“Look at you...” he jeers, his voice sodden with taunt—carmine stare faded and gleeful, thoroughly enjoying it. “What a sight for sore eyes.”
He stands behind you in the mirror, holding you delicately by the hips, intimately close, dressed in another one of his black suits, fully clothed in devastating contrast to you. His smile curls as he roams your ill-covered body, kissed with the flush of chagrin, leering at you in the reflection—his voice slithering right by your ear.
“Though I can’t say I remember it being quite so revealing, can you?” he jokes, running his hands up and down your waist, fiddling some with the intricacies—metal daintily clinking and clangoring. “No, there’s something else that’s different...”
You feel so humiliated, so small—as if he could hold you up by the scruff of your neck with ease. It isn’t just a feeling—you’re well aware that he most likely could.
“Why yes, of course…” he hums with delayed realization—you know he’s faking for anticipation, chittering while wrapping his thick arms around your tiny midsection, giving you a firm squeeze. “You’ve lost all muscle.”
It’s a painful truth. You don’t know how many months it’s been. Perhaps a year has passed already, maybe even more. He keeps you well aware of his triumph in the outside world, but time still eludes you.
You’d tried maintaining it in the beginning, even after he’d taken your quirk. You’d been vigilant, keeping up your workout regimens just as religiously as before. But you couldn’t pick what you ate, nor when—and he’d only feed you cake. It wasn’t long before all your hard-earned muscles had melted away like popsicle syrup off the stick, licked and lapped right up by the man holding you.
“Mmh, yes…” he murmurs gratingly while swaying you back against him, lips pressing against your ear. “And it’s left you oh-so-soft.”
His bulbous crotch slots against your upper ass, resting there as it grows fatter and warm—a sign of his enjoyment. The weight of him makes you feel all but paper-thin.
His voice rasps now. “If I were to give you your quirk back, I wager you wouldn’t even be able to use it anymore—it would sooner rip your poor limbs apart.”
It’s beyond cruel to suggest—as if disgracing your old costume wasn’t enough torment already. You bite your lip, gnaw it harshly—don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t let him see you cry.
“Isn’t that just fascinating?” He gives your earlobe a gentle bite, and the whimper in your throat springs free like prey out of hiding.
A sniffle shortly followed—along the dribble of the night’s very first tears. Your diminished spirit has made you all too prone to cry as if there’s nothing else for you to do but indulge in the small comfort it gives.
“Oh, sweetie—don’t weep over prowess long since lost. It was never enough to challenge me anyway,” he coos, as if consoling you—swaying your smaller brittle body back against his looming chest, a cage that seemed to swallow you whole.
Steering your jaw, he holds your face still before the mirror, unable to look away as the tears dribble down your sorry cheeks—he smears them further with a kiss.
“The world would chew you up as you are now, fragile like glass.” The grin curling his lips makes you resemble prey caught on a predator’s teeth—you can’t help but shiver at the sight of it. You wish he wouldn’t toy with you like food and just kill you already. “Mark my words, hero—the belly of the beast would not grant you as much comfort as I do.”
His other hand slips down to cup your mound—firmly, with a squeeze that has you curl yourself back against him as he presses two tough fingerpads into your clothed clit, rubbing it tightly enough to make your thighs shake.
“You’re better off like this,” he grunts, snickers at how your weak hands clutch the sleeve of his suit, curling the fabric in your palms until your knuckles whiten—watching the furrow further crease between your cinched brows as you try and bite back your pathetic little sounds even as more tears come tumbling down your swollen cheeks. “Mh, my pretty plaything.”
He makes you continue to look at yourself as he simply slides the panty to the side of your cunt. Encouraging you to place your hands flat against the mirror as he bends you forward, then to step back and stand atop his dress shoes.
“Don’t be shy now,” he makes sure to tell you. “You’re as light and negligible as a feather.”
He parts his feet and yours along with them, spreading your thighs enough to accommodate the fat heat he soon slides between them. Rigid and veiny, it competes with the size of your forearm—so thick that when he slaps it up against your slit, your knees buckle from the impact.
His chuckles rumble across your body like an earthquake. You only realize how much it makes you shake when he encloses your hip in his big hand, steadying you. Holding you still as he drags his engorged cockhead through your lips, catching your clit before resting on your entrance.
You’re so sore from prior nights—countless hours locked in this room with his visits the only thing keeping you company—everything has yet to forgive you for the wreckage those visits leave behind. Your sorry little puss rues and dreads another defeat now as he sinks inside the comfort of your battered walls, one unyielding inch at a time.
You wince and tense, shoulders bracing, and yet he pushes deeper, sliding you down his shaft until you rest at the hilt of his base, kneading the tip into your gummy womb, giving it a deep kiss that bulges out from your poor belly.
The sight in the mirror is morbid, even more so than the feeling—the way he molds your insides to fit him, to cater and house his length and size.
“Ah—just perfect, isn’t it, hero?” he purrs, chest resting heavily upon your spine while dwarfing both your hips in a firm grip, chin-stubble scraping along your neck as his voice comes out hot against your ear, “Obedience suits you so well, don’t you agree?”
Your knees buckle once he starts the heavy pace—slowly pounding into you from behind, dragging out and pushing deep in womb-robbing thrusts. You pant from the toll of it, feeling your muscles give—too tired and too broken to continue acting tough. He’s the only reason you’re left upright on your feet—keeping you standing with just his hold on your haunches. It seems like nothing to him, though it feels like the weight of the world to you.
“It’s only a shame it had to come with all these scars.” He clicks his tongue, eyes raking across your body as it takes him, resting on each mark disrupting the otherwise milk-smooth skin. “If only you’d accepted your place sooner.”
The ember burning within you is all but a piece of cooling charcoal now. You feel it diminish every day, leaving you even thinner than before.
“But then again, I quite enjoy you like this—littered with my battle scars from your toes up to your crown. It’s rather intimate, isn’t it?” he hums with a smile. “Proof of all the times I could’ve quashed you beneath my foot like a pitiful bug but decided to spare you. Teach you how to worship like the weak ought to.”
There was a time when you still humored the thought of killing him, even with your quirk taken from you. You thought, in your foolishness, that being this close to him must garner an opportunity, any, however slim, just enough for you to take advantage and finish what you vowed to end so long ago.
Now, you almost don’t care anymore. The world had moved on without you, and there was nothing more you could do about it.
You realize your promise had been as cheap as this outfit.
“The greater the fall, the sweeter the surrender, isn’t that right?” he states. “Doesn’t it feel good to finally accept your place in the world, hero?”
You can only nod your head and agree.

Sylus has always considered himself a collector of fine things.
Take, for example, his collection of designer shirts. The second he could afford brand name clothing, Sylus started to buy it. He still remembers the first Armani he ever bought: a form fitting black number with a sharp, crimson pattern printed along the sleeves. The shirt is still one of his favorites. It needed some tailoring at time of purchase, but he left the store wearing it anyway. The silk fabric felt much nicer than the synthetic fiber of the rags he wore in.
Sylus becomes a bit of a hoarder after that, filling his closets with suits he may never wear, shoes that he doesn’t need, expensive watches that tell time just as well as cheap ones. He buys vases from ancient civilizations and jewelry once worn by kings.
The finest thing in Sylus’s home, however, isn’t an artifact from the days of old. It isn’t the that black and red Armani shirt or any of his of antique guns. No, the most precious thing in Sylus’s collection isn’t a thing at all.
It’s you.
You are a stubborn beast with teeth and claws. A thief, once. Before you met him. Flighty, until he clipped your wings.
Boldness is a necessity in the N109 Zone; those without it don’t last. Still, your presence in his home the night you break in surprises him. You’re either the stupidest person on this side of the tracks or the scrappiest. He lets you steal from him just to see what you’ll do.
When he finally confronts you, he’s met with a fight. A short one, sure, but a fight nonetheless. You don’t land a single punch, but you give it your all, hitting high, hitting low, hitting dirty. When he grows weary of your efforts, he stills you with his Evol, suspending your body in midair.
“Is that anyway to treat your benefactor?” he tuts, grabbing your chin between two fingers and forcing you to meet his gaze. Your eyes are fierce, feral, like the untamed animal you are. You glare at him unblinking, hackles raised, refusing to back down despite your loss.
“Bite me,” you snarl in response, and oh, he’s tempted to, oddly captivated by your ferocity. Afterall, that’s how mother cats handle unruly kittens; they sink their teeth into the scruff of their baby’s neck and bite. He releases you instead.
“You’re lucky I have a soft spot for strays,” he tells you as his hands begin to turn out your pockets. “Out here, troublesome animals are put down.”
You shrug in acknowledgement, attitude unexpectedly blasé given that he could clearly kill you. “Don’t worry about me, darling, I’ve got nine lives.”
Sylus somehow doesn’t doubt that.
“Eight, now,” he replies as he reclaims the items you stole. You pawned one of his Rolexes a few hours ago. He’ll get it back of course, but he still loathes the idea of you going unpunished. “And if you’re not keen on throwing away what remains, I know a way you can work off what you owe me.”

Bad End: No Question

The republic fell slowly, then all at once. Rot building like a creeping cancer, in all the places the shining lights of luxury did not touch. Festering and untreated, all while I could do nothing to stop it. I knew it was coming, could see the story unfolding, yet? Was powerless to stop it.
No one listened.
Why would they? I was just a naive child, spouting nonsense. After all, they all said, they all believed... the Republic Was Forever.
Until it was not. Until it all died. And from the bleeding, screaming, ruin? The Empire came, swallowing everything whole. Right up to the end. While in my head, I knew how the story would unfold. Had tried and tried, to no avail, helpless and small as only children can be, as the tidal wave finally hit.
Believed, even as they lay dying. Even as I watch as the people cheer, as blood ran thick in the streets, clogging the gutters. The luxurites dead. Both guilty and innocent alike. The boot heels, upon the necks of the poor, no longer. Or so their leaders proclaimed...
Easy scapegoats. Obvious targets. The villians for their narrative, pay no mind to what happens next. The money and power, the land. We are HEROS! For the PEOPLE! You can TRUST US.
Ha.
Of course.
All hail the Emperor. Wealthier then any man has ever been. Truely, we are Free.
Yes, when the revolution came, I wasn't with them, my family. My "proper" social circles. That's probably all that spared me. I would have been hunted down, otherwise. Innocent or not. Can't have any of the old power bases lingering about, after all. People might get the idea to rally. Might miss the Old, when the New loses it's shine. Child or not, we can't have THAT, now can we?
The staff and volunteers of the soup kitchen, hid me with the other children as the adults boarded up the windows and doors. I held a young mother's child, looked her in the terrified eyes and swore, on my life, that I would gaurd her daughter with my life. I remember expecting to raise that child. To never see her again. Not alive.
Remember wondering, how far I could stretch the coin, if I pawned the pretty little bits of jewelry my parents gave me. Assuming they weren't ripped right off me, the second we got out. I had plans to hide them. Begun calculations. So many little mouths to feed. We had to stick together. We MUST stick together.
Then it was over.
My "disgrace" of an uncle came for me. Found me in the near ruins of my "silly little project". He was the one who had wanted to work. Had a stable worker lover everyone knew about but no one talked about. He was covered in bit of hay. Smelled strongly of horses. His lover had grabbed him and dragged him to safety, hidden him, desperately, among the stalls.
Out of our entire House...
An entire House, once noble, now wealthy. Out of HUNDREDS of people? Built over centuries, branches upon branches, marriages and adoptions. Wards and in-laws. Newborns to lovers to elders on their deathbeds? Of them all, so few remained. And yet... I could not even blame the servants who abandoned us. Who turned on their Slave Masters in all but technicality. They had been treated so cruely, for so long.
.....but the children? What crime did they commit?
I stood in the ruins of Manor after Manor, great house after great house, and wondered. Would I let this make me a monster too? Was this anger or grief I felt? Would any of us ever be free, from the sickening rot that had crept so slowly into the hearts of these people? Both, the ones I had called kin, and the very people who killed them. But oh... there were so many bodies to bury. So, so many bodies.
Some of them... so very, terribly, small.
But as we put out embers and buried the dead? The oh so glorious empire was rising. A fat and lumberous beast, settling with already groaning bones into the still smoking pit, where the Republic lay dead. And, benevolently, the Emperor saw no reason to kill us. We were informed by pristine letter, hand delivered, as we stood smoke stained and filthy, among the pyres.
At least... thank the gods. At least my Uncle remembered.
He and I, fellow outcasts and trouble makers, he recalled my "nonsense". How it had very much come true. So he took the Emperor's letter. Smiled benignly, with the bland promise of nothing. And gently corralled us few who remained into the only remaining dining hall, to pour over the letters as a House. A Clan. Together.
He looked to me with haunted eyes... and wanted to know.
I phrased it as a vision. It would be easier to swallow that way. Not unheard of, in legend. Not out of the realm of possibility. Just absurdly, absurdly rare. But... did we not live in world shaking times? It would make sense, it felt, that the gods would at least MENTION such things...
A novel, a lifetime ago. We were hardly the Protagonists. Not related in any way. Dramatics and death would surround them. A dark age followed, supposedly, by light. But... was the real world ever so simple? I didn't know. I could name all the players. What would occur.
It would be up to US to protect ourselves.
And we WOULD need to protect ourselves. For the Empire was not a kind place. Nor fair. It was the rot of the Republic laid bare. Without pretense. And soon... the purges would begin.
I was, of course, right. The people's blood soaked victory soon gave way to dismay, as they became targets. Divided. Conquered. Inquisitors, hand chosen by his most graciousness, the Emperor himself. I held my tounge, kept my piece... and hated it. Undermined what I could. Rebuilt my soup kitchen.
Attended court.
Because, of course, all we loyal subjects MUST attend court. Don't we love our Emperor so? See how we fawn! We simper and bask in his greatness! Oh we hang on your every WORD, most royal Majesty! We are entranced! Loyal, loyal subjects, all. Such decadent parties as the people starve.
Didn't my family perish for such similar actions? But, ah, they deserved it. Of course. And THIS is for MORALE!
I sip wine looted from the Redcrest family's cellars. They were dead now. Were proud of their wines. They made them for centuries. There shall never be more bottles, yet frivolous, we drink them away. What crime did they commit? Their workers? I close my eyes and keep my smile fixed.
A pleasant expression, because everything is Fine. Remember who you fight for, survive for, you are the canary in the mine. If you go silent, they know to run. The longer you live, the more people you can help, you can do this. Remember... sometimes rebellion is refusing to die. Refusing to let them pull hope from your desperate, bleeding, claws.
Just smile.
Everything is Fine! See? We're Smiling!
"Such a lonely seat. Not going to dance? Mingle? One might think you're not having fun." Comes from behind me, the voice an almost silibant rasp, rumbling thunder and the whispered hiss of a blade. If ever there was a voice made for threats and the confession of terrible things, it was this. "But how could that be? Such a loyal servant of his Majesty would never be so divisive and disrespectful. You must surely be ill. So, tell me then, your excuse?"
The only reason I do not jump, and splash on more reminder of tragedy right down my front, in a display I can not afford, is that I freeze up. Jumping would look guilty of something. It would not matter that he walks all but silently. That I did not notice him and was startled. That it is a simple, human, reaction. Why am I so JUMPY? Guilty conscious? Perhaps an Inquisitor and I should... Talk.
And dropping my wine? Making a SCENE? Am I seeking to undermine his Majesty?
That's ON TOP of the fact, that... frankly? My House can not AFFORD to replace a wine stained dress. With his Majesty's demands for constant decadence yet performative humility, his hoarding of wealth and demands of tribute? We are barely scrapping by. Most "graciously spared" survivors are.
Not ALLOWED to become lower class. Disappear into the masses and work or live quiet, modest lives. No. We must PROVE our LOYALTY to his Majesty. Constantly. Forever. Right up until we fail and are punished for it. In a sick game, no one can ever hope to win but him.
We are to continue on, as though he did not burn the world down. Yet in revamped parody of what was. Like a social outcast, holding towns hostage, to play out "high school prom" as the MOST popular kid, forever and ever and always more. Or ELSE. Because he never grew up and never got over it. Because people didn't like him. So he'll MAKE them. Kill them if they refuse.
The fifteenth version of this dress. Lace carefully taken off and redone elsewhere, I cycle through "new dresses" and trade with allies who are about my size. Who could possibly afford to meet the man's mad demands? When we are barely feeding are own? When he has seized our assets yet will not let us work?
We are dying.
Painted in what inherited gold, silks, and jewels remain. Terrified. We are dying.
"Nothing to say? How quiet. One might think you are... afraid. But how could that be? You would know, as a loyal servant of his Majesty, that you have nothing to fear from us. No Inquisitor would harm one of the loyal subjects, of our beloved ruler. You are perfectly safe... that is, of course, assuming... you are, in fact, Loyal."
The near shifting of heavy cloth against heavy cloth, the sigh as it slid against armor, markes a deadly presence behind me. Light, almost silent, steps are nearly lost under the music, as he moves. Circling me like a hunter. I force myself to turn towards him instead of shying away. Claw control back of my instinct frozen limbs, with desperate hands. I cannot, CANNOT afford this.
"Ah, but you are sick. Headache, perhaps? The drink too strong?"
Red eyes bore into me from a silver mask. Infamous claws, on hands that have done so much, are tucked behind his back like gentleman, out on a stroll. Bone white robes, over armored black under robes. Monochromatic, blood red, and silver steel.
The Grand Inquisitor.
"Perhaps you've tired yourself. With all that dancing you did not do. So many questions. So few answers. But then, ah, I've been speaking so rudely, my dear. Talking over you. How has your evening been, hmm? Pleasant, I take it?" His voice was as light and almost charming, as a gentle hand; wrapped delicately around the throat. Not squeezing, not yet, just a simple remind that it could. If he did not like, what you had or were about to say. "Come, sit, I insist."
The smile on my face felt like it was a dam under pressure. Like my teeth could only barely held back the screaming in my head. The mask of my expression, covered in hair line fractures, only just holding together as I nodded. Followed along. Hysterical comparisons to the march before firing squads, danced in the back of my head. I shoved them back. Down and far away. I... I had to be present. Alert.
The chandelier's light caught with terrible beauty, on the brutal points of his claws. As he gestured, almost a mockery of the polite gentleman. He would be one, if not for the unspeakable things he had done. He was certainly polite. His etiquette immaculate.
Social dances. A mockery of comfort. Mock, mock, mock. His mere presence, his brutality, desecrated it all. Made profane the familiar. For who? WHO? Could break bread with the butcher of men? Could smile politely and serve them thoughtful bits of nothing? Treat them as your own? Yet... yet we were all to afraid to resist. To refuse.
Did they delight? Forcing us to welcome them, where they clearly were not wanted? Where we could not refuse them? Perverting the purpose of our traditions and our ways? Was... was it funny? Or just another tool to use against us?
Smile, dip your head, a small curtsy or bow. The guest invited sits first, serve drinks, time appropriate food if you have it. In my head I knew each step. The etiquette of the classes and why each was the way it was. He did not reach for the pitcher on the table. Merely settled back into his chair, like a throne.
Was he deliberately breaking the social norm? To create discomfort and pressure me to talk? Did he not know? His past was shrouded in mystery. Perhaps he simply did not feel like it. Who, here, could insist? Shun him for his rudeness?
I tried not to sweat, under his heavy gaze. Did not partake. Sat, back straight, my gentle mask-like smile fixed, as I stared over his shoulder. A pretty doll. Ragged and worn around the edges. Trying desperately to appear The Good And Loyal Citizen, least something... Unfortunate, happen.
"What a lovely dress." He mused into the tense silence, breaking it to brutal shards. "Yet, I can not help but notice the shade. The cut and design. Madame Signe's work, isn't it? It suits you." Everything inside me went cold. It was. But if he recognized it...
"Yet? I can not help but wonder, my dear. Why the lace is in the wrong place? You wouldn't happen to be trying to pass off that dress as something new, would you? Trying to subvert and undermine his Majesty's very clear command? That would be treasonous. And you, such a loyal subject, would never."
He knew.
I didn't know how much he knew, but he DID.
Struggling not to shake, not to give everything away, I lied. Of course, I did. Right through my teeth. I would, I had, and I promised. Straight to the end. Lie and lie, until I had nothing left in me. I know nothing, I know no one, there is nothing here to find. Lies upon lies, all while those I love flee for their lives. Praying to gods I don't think can even hear me, that it will be enough.
The slight tilt of his head somehow projected a sense of mocking indulgence. One long leg crossed the other, lounging like a warlord. The clawed gauntlets on full, gruesome display. Every part of him, from the set of his shoulders to the angle he sat, radiated amusement. As though he were watching a silly little child, playing foolish little games. Getting into mischief, then trying to hide the obvious evidence.
Was I quite done? His silence seem to say. He can wait.
I tilted my chin up with a strength and defiance I did not feel. Yes, I was done. Let come what may. I... I tried.
"So afraid, dear citizen. Acting as though I'm some sort of monster in the night, out to butcher and hunt the innocent. One might get the wrong impression. You might even hurt my feelings." He laughs, a sound that seems to roll and fall dangerously, past grinning teeth. Sharp and deadly. "But of course... I understand, I do. About your dress. You can not help it."
"After all, you have not changed a bit."
....what?
"Still compelled, against all rhyme and reason, to tend to the wretched under classes. The filth and wastrels. Beggars and whores. Instead of purchasing dresses for parties? You, oh loyal Citizen, are of course, exemplifying his Majesty's great Mercy."
That's not what... He KNOWS it's not... Where is he GOING with this?
"Yes, we must make exceptions, perhaps. Have mercy. After all... you had nothing but the best of intentions. And how can I hold that against you? When you can not help what you are? Soft and foolish. So very merciful and giving. Humane."
He dropped the word like it was a joke. Almost snide, laughter haunting the edges of it like a pack of hunting hounds. As though humanity to others, itself, was laughable. What a joke, he seemed to suggest, the mere concept of mercy. Of compassion for the sake of it.
So, why? What game was he playing? If he had to mercy to give me? Why even suggest...?
"Do you remember, the Revolution? That glorious rise, as the old fell away. As shackles were broken. As class lines no longer bound us. As we, both children, sat in the dark?"
Impossible.
No... no it... please, God, it can't....
The music was very far away. Muted, as though through blankets. Conversations becoming indistinct. Memories of stale air and dust. Packed earth beneath me and cold stone pressing against my back. The terrible, uncertain creek, of cheap woods from both the crates and ceiling above us. Everything that COULD be stacked against the doors, was.
Wondering if we would survive fire. If they, in their anger and hate, would think of it. Oh god, oh god, we were just kids-!
White hair, like bone, forever silent and staring. Never came close but showed up every time I did, they noted. A crush. Local boy, they mused. He was too thin. Bruises where there shouldn't be. Scars on skin too young. He didn't run when I went to him, but never came to me. I tried to feed him. Just one more story. So many tragedies, that I could do so little to change. All I had was soup.
"Ah~ there it is. You recognize me now. It's been so long, hasn't it, my dear?" Something pleased and horrifying, curled like spreading poison through his tone. "I am a man, grown, now. Have become quite accomplished, if I do say so myself. Wealthy, influential, well connected. Powerful. No longer weak and unworthy of your time."
"In fact," He leaned forward, as though telling a secret. Almost playful, despite the horror of his words. "It's my turn to control you. To be the powerful one. To have everything while you have nothing."
"I will admit... I have been waiting for this for a very long time. You were so beautiful. Trapped in you wretched blood bought finery, chained to the House that would keep us apart. I knew even then, that I would have you, that I was the ONLY one that could be allowed to have you. No one else. And oh, his Majesty has been so very, very obliging."
Folded papers were withdrawn from his robes. Offered almost carelessly. If it weren't for the intensity of his stare? I would believe he didn't care, how I reacted. With shaking hands. I smooth the pages as I open it. From the desk of the Emperor himself... a... a marriage contract.
"Exactly as I wanted. You'll never escape me again. Smile, my dear."
"We're getting married."

40 Year Old Virgin
Chapter 4 - My Heart Has Thawed and Continues to Beat
Rating: 18+ minors gtfo Chapter Summary: The boys spend more time together and Eddie isn't sure how to handle Steve's affections CW: Smoking the devil's lettuce, oh no there's only one bed, Eddie is clueless Pairing: Virgin!Eddie x Divorced!Steve Word Count: 3k
(Chapter title from “June on the West Coast” by Bright Eyes)
Chapter 3<<Masterlist>>Chapter 5
Steve keeps his promise.
It’s been about two weeks since the night on his deck, and not a day has gone by where Eddie hasn’t heard from or seen the man. He’s stopped by the shop a few times and brought lunch. Subs, burgers, and Taco Bell. It’s been a nice change of pace from his microwave meals.
A couple nights a week they meet at the Hideout for beers when Eddie gets off of work. He hates that he’s still in his coveralls when he sees Steve. The most he can do to feel less like a working stiff is to shrug off the top and tie the sleeves around his waist. Steve eyes him each time he does it, and Eddie tries his best to shake off the feeling that he’s being judged. He knows that Steve isn’t the superficial jock he was when he was a teenager, but having the man’s eyes on him like that makes Eddie feel self conscious.
Steve tells him about everything he’s doing at his parents’ house. He started with their room. He’s gone through their closets and bagged up tons of clothes, donating them to the local Salvation Army. His mom had a bunch of jewelry that he’s setting aside to pawn, because bills still need to be paid, right? And he’s planning on donating all the furniture to Habitat for Humanity. Further proving that he’s not who he used to be when he was a kid. Eddie knew that, of course he did, but hearing how freely Steve is just giving all this stuff away makes Eddie’s heart grow even fonder.
He moved on to his own room after that, saying that most of it was just trash. All the things he really cared about went with him when he moved to Chicago with Robin. So other than that godforsaken insanely tight Hawkins swim team shirt, it seems like everything else worth salvaging is being donated as well. The only thing remaining in there is the wallpaper.
Eddie was only ever in Steve’s room a few times back in ‘86, but that plaid insanity is not easily forgotten. And apparently not easily removed, either. Thirty year old wallpaper glue, he’s learning, is a bitch to remove. He offered Steve his help since he’s not really doing anything of value on the weekends anyway. So here he finds himself scraping away at the walls and going cross-eyed from all the vertical and horizontal lines.
“Jesus Christ, Harrington. Can’t we get Supergirl out here to pull this shit off with her mind powers?”
Steve snorts like a goon as he continues to scrape away at the section he’s working on. “That’ll be my plan B if we can’t manage this ourselves.”
“What’s she up to these days, anyway?” Eddie was never exactly close with El. He always had mad respect for her, though.
Steve smiles fondly like a proud father. “She’s in Michigan, not far from Joyce and Hopper. Works with an adoption agency finding homes for kids with special needs. Whole new definition of a superhero, if you ask me.”
“Shit. You’re not wrong.” He hesitates for a moment, wanting to know where everyone else has gone off to, while also grappling with the pain of knowing that they never kept him up to date on their lives to begin with. His curiosity wins out in the end.
“How‘s the rest of the gang?”
Steve stops his work for a moment, likely realizing how big it is that Eddie’s even asking. “They’re good. Nance and Jon are still in Boston. She works for a paper out there. Investigative journalism. Shocker, right? Jon does some freelance photography for the same paper. But mostly focuses on artistic stuff.”
“That’s cool. I didn’t talk to them much after they left. They ever pop out any kids?”
“Nah. Nancy is super into her career. That wasn’t anything she really wanted, even way back when.”
Eddie nods like he understands. “What about Argyle? We only had that summer to hang out, but he was fuckin’ cool. Weird as hell, but I loved that about him.”
“Oh for sure! We didn’t keep in touch, really. Last I heard he owns a pizza chain in southern California.”
Eddie barks out a laugh. “Of course he does! Bet there’s fucking pineapple on everything.”
“No shit. Mike and Will are in Cali, too. You think Robin and her girlfriend owning a bookstore in Portland was cliché gay? Those two settled down in San Francisco…Will has an art gallery, Mike manages a drag bar, and they’re working on a gay comic book together. Not to say that the comic book is gay, but like…literally it’s gay superheroes and shit.”
Eddie stops what he’s doing and is just staring at Steve. He had his suspicions about Will back in the 80’s too, but Mike? “How fucking many of us were queer, Steve?! Fucking Christ, was there something in the water here?!”
He snorts again and Eddie will never get enough of that stupid sound. “I don’t know, dude. Maybe. I was just as surprised when I found out. I guess Will came out in high school, and that made Mike start to realize some shit about himself. They kept it pretty quiet for a long time because…” Steve just shrugs and Eddie absolutely gets it.
“Nuff said. How um…how is Max?” She was the only person who came out of that final battle worse off than Eddie. It took months for her bones to heal, and lots of physical therapy. Her eyes never fully recovered, but enough for her to be able to see with some thick glasses. She was a fucking warrior through all of that and Eddie respects the shit out of her for fighting so hard.
Steve gets that proud parent look again. “She’s great. Her and Lucas settled down in Nashville. She’s a child psychologist, and Lucas is a pediatric nurse.”
“Shit, that’s impressive. Looks like El’s not the only superhero, huh?”
“Definitely not.”
They work in comfortable silence for a while after that, until the last of the wallpaper is scraped off. It gives Eddie plenty of time to soak in all the details of everyone’s lives. Surprisingly, instead of feeling sad or bitter about their accomplishments…he feels really fucking proud of all these kids who went through so much shit and came out on the other side making the world they saved a better place.
Standing back with his hands on his hips, Steve surveys the room. “Drastic fucking improvement. I hope I never see plaid again. Thanks for helping out with this, Eddie.”
‘Yeah, no problem. I can help you paint in here too if you want.”
Steve reaches out and squeezes his shoulder. “I’m definitely not going to turn down spending more time with you.”
Eddie has no idea what to do with that. The casual touches alone are a lot to process. He doesn’t remember Steve being so tactile before, and every time he squeezes his shoulder, or pats his back, hugs him, leans into his space…it kind of throws Eddie off kilter. Almost as much at Steve saying he actually wants to hang out more.
He awkwardly chuckles and tries to brush it off. “Yeah, you just like my free labor. I’m off on the 4th, actually. The shop’s closed for the holiday, so. If you want to celebrate the birth of our nation by slapping some paint on the walls, I’m happy to help.”
Steve kind of cringes and looks away. “Shit, I forgot about the 4th. Ever since Starcourt, fireworks kinda freak me out.”
Eddie remembers hearing all about that battle. He doesn’t blame Steve, or any of them, for having some fireworks-related trauma. “How about this…I can come over during the day, we get a couple coats of paint on, then we head out to my place. It’s far enough outside of town that you don’t even hear them. Maybe grill some burgers? Get stoned? What do you say?”
The smile on Steve’s face is radiant. “That sounds great, Ed. Let me bring the stuff for the burgers, though? Least I can do to repay you for all this.”
Eddie agrees and before he knows it, he’s got Steve Harrington in shorts and a t-shirt, flipping burgers on his little Weber. The sun is shining down on him, and bringing out these natural gold highlights in his hair. He’s so beautiful, it almost hurts to look at him.
It’s a hot day and Eddie ties his hair up in a bun to get it off his neck, and sets out the burger fixings. Steve also picked up some potato salad, and Eddie’s surprised to see it’s the vinegar kind. He fucking loves that stuff. “I thought you liked the other kind of potato salad, Harrington. The mayo shit.”
Steve looks over his shoulder and gives Eddie a small smile. “Yeah, but you like the vinegar stuff.” He shrugs like it’s nothing, and Eddie is once again surprised that Steve would remember something so insignificant. Well. Maybe not all that surprised considering he remembered what kind Steve likes.
They fix their plates and relax on the deck, enjoying the peace and quiet. As night starts to fall, Eddie notices that Steve keeps looking off to the east, in the direction of where the town fireworks will be going off. Eddie was serious when he told him you can’t hear shit out here, but he wants to put the man’s mind at ease and just let him unclench.
He gets up and takes their empty plates inside, tosses them in the trash, and packs a bowl. He brings that out with his acoustic and settles into his chair. Lighting the bowl, he takes a big hit and passes it off to Steve. He can’t stop himself from glancing over at his lips as he blows out a big cloud of smoke. They pass it back and forth for a while until Eddie can literally see Steve’s body relaxing. He starts humming along to a song that’s playing on the radio nearby and Eddie picks up his guitar and lazily plucks at the strings.
The high has him feeling all slow and syrupy. The sky fades into darkness, and not a single burst of pyrotechnics can be heard. He chances a glance over at Steve to make sure he’s still doing alright, and startles a bit to see that he’s already looking back. His eyes are half lidded and there’s a soft little smile on his face. He looks content and Eddie mentally pats himself on the back for it.
“You look really good.”
Eddie fucks up a chord. “Huh?”
Steve snickers a little and raises his eyebrows. “I said, you look really good. With your hair up like that.”
Ah. Less of a rat’s nest, Eddie figures. “Oh. Thanks I guess. You know I chopped it all off a while back? Fuckin’ hated it. I didn’t feel like myself at all so I grew it out again.”
“Seriously? I cannot imagine you with short hair. Wouldn’t want to.”
Yeah, even Steve can probably tell that Eddie would look stupid like that. Eddie just keeps playing and staring out at the land around them bathed in moonlight. It’s probably just the weed, but this is the most relaxed he’s felt in a long time. And it’s really nice having someone else here with him. He’s trying to soak it all in before Steve has to head back home at the end of the summer. He doesn’t even want to think about that. Being alone again. Not having anyone to talk to or kill time with.
Steve pulls him out of his thoughts once again. “I forgot how good you are at that. Talented fucking fingers, man.”
Eddie snorts and keeps playing. “Right. Perfect for strumming a beat up old guitar and working on beat up old cars. Fuck…I really don’t want to go work tomorrow. I’m gonna have to turn in soon. You ok to drive or no?”
“Nnnnnope. Your weed kinda knocked me on my ass. Mind if I sleep here?”
Eddie’s heart does a little flutter. “Nah, that’s fine. I uh…cleared out Wayne’s old room though, so there’s just the couch.”
Steve groans as he sits up and gives Eddie a look. “We’re way too old for couch surfing, Ed. Can I just crash with you?”
Eddie’s heart falls out of his ass. “Uh…” Steve Harrington is asking to sleep in the same bed with him. He’d be fucking crazy to say no, but Jesus Christ this is going to kill him. “Sure. Or um…You can take the bed and I’ll have the couch.”
Steve stands up, takes the guitar out of Eddie’s hands and sets it in his chair. “Don’t be stupid. You’re even older than me.” He grabs Eddie by the hand and pulls him up to standing, and Eddie almost collides with that broad chest. Steve just…looks at him for a moment and then reaches up and tucks a strand of hair behind Eddie’s ear. “Come on. Let’s go to bed.”
Yeah, Steve is going to kill him. This is so not fair. He’s being so sweet, and he’s so touchy, and Eddie is already jealous of whoever gets to have that. He just hopes it’s too dark for Steve to see the blush that has to be raging on his cheeks.
They head inside and clean up before going to Eddie’s room. It’s just big enough to fit a queen sized bed, thank god, because he doesn’t know what he’d do if they had to be pressed together on a smaller mattress. He offers Steve some pajama pants, but the bastard tells him it's too hot for that and just…takes his shorts off. Right there. In front of Eddie. He does his damnedest to avert his eyes so he’s not caught starting at Steve’s boxer briefs. Don’t look at his dick. Don’t look at his dick. Don’t look at his-
“Do you have a toothbrush I can borrow?”
“Yup! Yeah, lemme go find that.” Eddie bolts out of the room and frantically digs through his bathroom drawers until he finds a spare. This is fucking insanity. It’s like the gay gods are punishing him by dangling this fucking Adonis right in front of him. Maybe he never did make it out of the Upside Down and he actually died and has been in hell this whole time.
They get their teeth brushed and Steve climbs into his bed - Steve is in his bed! - and Eddie shuts off the lights. He gets in and makes sure to stick as close to the edge of the mattress as possible so it’s not weird. His heart is fucking racing and he has no idea how he’s going to fall asleep like this.
Steve shifts beside him and before anything can get even more awkward, or before Steve just asks him to sleep on the couch instead because this is too strange, Eddie just blurts out, “Goodnight Steve.”
Steve stills and after a moment, Eddie hears him take a deep breath. “Yeah. Goodnight Eddie.”
He doesn’t know how he manages it, honestly he can probably thank the bowl they smoked, but eventually Eddie does fall asleep. When his alarm beeps in the morning, he’s face down in his pillow and reaches over to smack at it until it shuts up. That’s when he feels it. An arm draped over his lower back and Steve’s head on his shoulder.
Eddie is wide awake now. Steve must have rolled over in his sleep and not realized that Eddie was there. Now he’s got to figure out how the fuck to get out from under this man’s arm without waking him.
“Hmm…g’morning.”
Too late. Steve doesn’t launch himself away from Eddie like he expected. He actually gives him a little squeeze before slowly rolling over and yawning loudly.
Eddie needs to just play it cool. It’s no big deal. Just a couple friends crashing after getting stoned. Just a normal day and totally normal way to wake up. He sits up and throws his legs over the side of the bed. “Morning. You want some coffee?”
Steve groans while he stretches and Eddie looks over his shoulder at him. How dare he be so beautiful right when he wakes up. “Yeah, that sounds good. I’ll just have a quick cup and get out of your hair. Don’t wanna make you late for work.”
Eddie stands up and walks at a totally normal pace to the kitchen and gets the pot going. While Steve is in the bathroom, he slips back into the bedroom and quickly changes into his work clothes. When he comes out, Steve is perched on his counter looking sleepy and adorable and sipping black coffee out of one of Wayne’s old mugs.
“You sleep ok?” Eddie pours himself a cup and adds too much creamer.
“Like the dead. Thanks for letting me crash, there’s no way I could have made it home in one piece.”
“Yeah, no problem.”
They sip their coffee in silence as Steve clicks away on his flip phone and Eddie puts together a sandwich to take with him. Once they’re outside and saying their goodbyes, Steve hesitates before getting into his truck.
“Hey…Eddie?”
“What’s up?”
He chews on his lip for a second and Eddie tries not to stare. “Could I make you dinner on Friday? Maybe we can watch a movie or something?”
Ha. Like Eddie has anything else going on. Plus, when would he ever turn down a chance to hang out with Steve? “Yeah, that would be great. What time do you want me?”
Steve beams at him, and Eddie swears it’s brighter than the morning sun. “How about 6ish?”
“Yeah, that sounds good. I’ll see you then.”
They get into their cars and head out on the dirt road, and Eddie can still see the smile on Steve’s face in his rearview mirror.

What style of clothes do drift and ratchet wear?
I've written before about Drift's weaponized athleisure, and it is true that for a good long while, he tended to look like he was travelling to or from the gym with a sword on his back because, well, he was. And besides, he could make a wardrobe of sweats and ankle socks work in a way that only extremely pulchritudinous people can.
However, if we expand our frame of temporal reference beyond his Lost Light years, our vision of Drift's style changes. As Deadlock, he favoured black tactical gear accentuated with copious gold jewelry, as if a waterproof ninja had robbed a pawn shop. In his later years, as his punishing athletic routine gave way to teaching and writing, and his natural eccentricity braided with his aversion to cold, heavy capes and cloaks became de rigeur. His love of jewelry returned at this time in the form of intricate beads and amulets, and thus adorned, he entered his wizard phase,* which would last until his death.
*Sadly, Ratchet did not live to see the wizard phase in full effect.
Were it not for Drift, Ratchet would inhabit the same pair of jeans with the same brown leather belt and the same denim work shirt every day of his life. Thankfully, Drift buys his clothes, so he has several identical pairs of jeans to wear with his belt, as well as a few flannel shirts to mix in with the denim, and some cozy cardigans for Drift to steal when he takes a chill. The only suit he owns is the one he got married in, and he has worn it exactly once. Far from appearing slovenly, Ratchet's Levis uniform has a lived-in sexiness that suggests James Dean, if James Dean had been allowed to get old, develop love handles, and build cabinets in his spare time.

oh my goodness I think I just turned into the happiest sapphic ever 😝😝 thank you so much for accepting my weird love for player 044 but anywho once you have time and feel like it I desperately need you to write hc's about her w a easily manipulated reader who believes in everything player 044 says and is sooo blindly in love and how a relationship would basically be with my sexy evil old powerful shaman wife 😼
also may I be ' 🐘' anon ? 🙂↕️
Seon-nyeo/Player 044 - easily manipulated!reader headcannons
Synopsis: Seon-nyeo with an easily manipulated reader..
A/N: first time writing for this character.. hopefully i serve her right !! also, yes you can be 🐘anon!
Warnings: manipulation, NOT PROOFREAD..

➠ To you, Seon-Nyeo was your savior.
➠ Someone who could protect during these deadly games and you may have immediately started relying on her..
➠ Seon-Nyeo was very much on board with how easily you trust her and didn't waste a second to keep you by her side along with the other few that followed her around
➠ she's ALWAYS saying that it's your fate to stay as her ally and that, if you don't, you'll die here
➠ She's honestly a little surprised by how quickly you just trust her and blindly follow her
➠ (and a little bit concerned)
➠ However, she doesn't let that stop her lies and manipulation because she needs sacrificial pawns for her survival !!
➠ At first, you were more of a pawn that she thought she'd sacrifice if it came down to it but.. she may have changed her mind quite quickly
➠ Especially since you keep trying to give your life away for her and you've barely known her for long
➠ Because of your total trust in her and your willingness to die for her survival, she totally does fall in love with you
➠ Her love might also be because you were actually genuinely nice to her unlike some of the other players. You weren't just pretending to be nice for the sake of appeasing the gods and she liked that a lot.
➠ when she does fall in love with you, she gets more manipulative but, this time, it's to protect you from other players
➠ she knew very well that some of the other players had gladly sacrificed their allies or strangers and she didn't like the idea of that happening to you
she actually isn't really one to fall in love so falling in love with you was something she didn't want to let go of
➠ She's always keeping you by her side from then on and frequently begs the gods above to not let anything happen to you
➠ Every morning, before a new game, she'll immediately tell you the gods blessed the two of you with good luck today so you'll be less nervous about the game you play that day
➠ Also, always partners with you during group games (thank god season 2 didn't have the marble game)
➠ Whenever she's sitting on that one bed above everyone else when the players are voting, most of the time she's looking at you.
➠ Usually you notice her quite quickly and give her a wave which she will return with a smile
➠ If you actually make the decision to not continue the games despite what she tells you, she may be slightly upset about it tbh..
➠ She'll go to you immediately and talk to you about your decision
➠ If it was pure fear that drove your decision to discontinuing the games, she will promise to keep you safe and mention that the gods have promised nothing but fortune for you
➠ She knows she can't really guarantee that and that its a white lie but she really doesn't want the games to end in case she can't find you again
➠ On that note, it does make her a little possessive.
➠ If anyone gets too close to you, she'll slowly walk over and look at who's chatting to you up and down before smirking as if she knows something they don't
➠ She basically stares at them until they leave i'm not gonna lie
➠ Off topic but i could honestly see her wanting to wear some sort of matching jewelry..
➠ like a bracelet or a necklace..
➠ Anyway, back to what I was saying -
➠ she honestly gets jealous easily but she doesn't lash out or anything
➠ like she's not the kind of person to drag you away randomly or do some sort of public display of affection
➠ her aura just scares the person away
➠ I'd also say she doesn't do a lot of PDA
➠ Not because she doesn't like it, she just doesn't do it much
➠ If you ask for it though, then she gladly will.
➠ Overall, manipulative but for the right reasons when you're dating
"Good morning," Seon-Nyeo speaks as she's crouched next to your bed, watching you slowly stretch and come to life. You had gotten used to seeing her by your bedside, smiling at you as she waited for you to finally wake up. It was a wonder how she always woke up before the music blared over the speakers. Her eyes watched you carefully as you sat up and she quickly made herself comfortable on your bed - sitting with her legs crossed. She always enjoyed watching you sleep peacefully. Just like she enjoyed watching your face light up when she told a slight white lie about luck being on your side today. Sure, lying was bad but if it made you more confident, she'd lie a million times. She was glad you trusted her so much. It made her feel rather.. good inside. Once you seemed more awake, she smiled and looked at you directly in the eyes. "The gods have once again promised nothing but good fortune for today so there's no need to worry,"

dude abby is so fire can we get more hcs or a snippet i beg
It's been a hot minute since I've done HCs and they give me excuse to flesh out my characters so we'll do with that-
Abby [Rental Zombie Spouse HC]
Warnings: Dismemberment, Mentions of death
-
Abby doesn't remember much about himself before he died. Everything predating the night he woke up in the back alley behind a restaurant witu a hole in his head is a blur to him. All he had to his person was a wallet, his phone, and the keys to an apartment - none of which helped jog his memory as the man the ID inside the wallet couldn't possibly be him.
As recently established, Abby earns money by hosting services where he will be the customer's partner- There are a handful of male options, but he prefers to pose as females in his disguises because those usually pay more and he likes the dress up.
While Abby doesn't require human flesh as his only food source, he can eat chunks of it to repair rotting or damaged tissue. He can also swap out parts that are no longer useful with fresh ones which is a major factor to how successful his business is since changing a few features makes him a completely new person. He has a deep freezer in his apartment where he keeps his "accessories" until they expire.
When it comes to what he likes in a Darling not even Abby knows. He's very easily distracted by things and an encounter with him trying to cut out a part of you he likes can instantly switch to yout first date of many just by him seeing you like that peeks his interest as well.
"Hey, You! Cute eyes you got... Mind if I borrow them?.... Oh! What are you listening to?... I love this band! I think.... Maybe the old me did. Let's listening to more songs together and find out!"
Since you would probably like to keep all your limbs, Abby steals physical objects that belong to you to feel closer to you. He would insist on something like matching tattoos or piercings since if you can't share the same flesh - you can at least have the same branding. Do not leave any jewelry or clothing that may fit him unattended.
Any body part that was at one tethered to him will still be usable even if it's separate from him as long as it's functional. There's a reason he always knows what you're thinking- he's got eyes and ears everywhere. Please don't throw them out if you happen to find any. :(
You'll almost never meet him when he isn't "Abby". When he doesn't care about his appearance or how bad the state of his decay is and just slaps on a hoodie and a face mask to get around. It's how he keeps watch on you without use of his spare eyes and sorta feels like how some people without their makeup.
He/him, but doesn't care about whatever pronouns his clients use for him.
Spends his money on brand new items for you, but goes broke buying second hand goods from yard sales and thrift stores because he loves older furniture and giving things a new home... Will pawn his junk off on you when he has strength in your relationship that you won't leave or make fun of him for his odd purchases.
"Why do you mean "why did I buy twenty cassette players"?? If you use the one I bought you already are a diary, I wouldn't have to stalk you as frequently!"

What Goes Around, Comes Around

Sypnosis: Pantalone gets back at his childhood bully (aka you, the Reader).
TW: Massive warning for bullying, talks of poverty, forced relationships, abuse of power, unhealthy power dynamics, etc.
Pairing: Yandere Pantalone x Reader
-
There’s an old saying that what goes around, comes back around eventually.
You on the other hand, never cared too much about that saying.
Growing up a child from an extremely wealthy family meant that you had no worries about the consequences of your actions. If you ever messed up badly, it could all be erased with just one snap of your finger with the power of mora. Mora was everything in the world of Teyvat, there was nothing you couldn’t achieve without it.
You also never had to worry about when your next meal would be coming from, or if you would even eat at all the next day. In fact, you were so carefree in your life and you did what normal children would do. You would love to play outside and especially at a local playground near the town park.
However, you couldn’t say the same for a certain boy you would often run into on the playground.
The boy liked so malnourished that you could practically see his bones. His clothes were nothing but old, dirty rags. His hair was extremely disheveled and his skin was covered in scratches and dirt. The boy looks like he hadn’t eaten in days. You’d often notice the boy sitting on a wooden log staring at the ground.
Naturally the boy was an easy target for you and your two other playground friends to pick on. He didn’t have anything, while your family could give you the whole world if you simply asked. The three of you would torment that boy every single day. You all would often make fun of the way he dressed. One day, you actually learned the kids name which was Pantalone. Of course, you picked on his name as well.
“Your names Pantalone? It sounds like Pants! How funny considering the fact that you can’t even afford a pair of pants.”
It was the same torment every single day for the boy named Pantalone. He was destitute and living in poverty. He didn’t have anywhere else to go. He was suffering so many hardships and your friends picking on him didn’t make his situation any better.
When Pantalone managed to find a meal for himself to eat, he would often sit on the same wooden log to enjoy the food. He made sure to come to the playground at a time when you and your friends weren’t nearby. But oh boy, that’s what you and your friends were waiting for.
One of your friends decided to go up to the boy and immediately snatched his food out of his hands. In one swift motion, it was tossed into the trash can nearby. The look on Pantalone’s face was absolutely princely as he was shocked and he looked incredibly sad. You and your group found this hilarious as you both were hunched over on the grass snickering uncontrollably.
“Did you see the look on his face?”
“Yes, it was absolutely hilarious!” You replied gasping for air.
Everyday was the same torment for Pantalone. He would sit on the wooden log because he had no where else to go. And each and every single day, he would be ridiculed by your friend group. It was a whole routine for you guys. You would wake up in the morning, eat breakfast, play at the park with your friends, and relentlessly bully the poor kid.
However, your daily routine would eventually come to a close. Over the course of the next few months, you watched as your family’s business did worse and worse and gradually was close to being bankrupt. Your parents were exposed for fraud and their shady dealings. You watched as your lavish empire crumbled slowly and slowly, until there was nothing left. You could only sit in silence whenever your parents would have loud arguments about money troubles. You were a spoiled kid who was finally being shown the true reality of this world.
All of your expensive clothes and jewelry had to be pawned or sold off to scrap every last bit of mora they could get. Soon, your family was forced to sell their large house to move to an extremely cramped one with barely any space. You no longer could afford the once extravagant lifestyle you once knew. You were beyond sad, and most of all, you stopped visiting the playground out of embarrassment of the way that things in your life had turned out. Over the next few years, you lived in extreme poverty and most of the times, your family couldn’t afford a meal. Pantalone’s destitute reality was slowly becoming yours, and it was ironic how you picked on him for being poor while you were now living in the same conditions. You spent every last day feeling tormented over your immature behavior for bullying an innocent kid. You felt embarrassed and extremely ashamed of your actions.
You would soon spend the rest of your childhood living in poverty. Your family’s business never healed from the damage to their reputation and it was way too hard to recover from a drastic downfall like that one. It was also difficult to find work as well because most jobs weren’t even hiring, and they barely paid enough to buy your family a meal.
You head out to town one day searching for job applications when you notice a listing looking for maids to work for the Fatui.
Wait the fatui? You dig deep back into your memories as you’ve heard many things about the fatui from passing about the 11 fatui harbingers and how they’re notorious for being extremely dangerous criminals. Trying to work as a maid for them is equivalent to asking for a death sentence. But you checked the yearly pay and it was almost double the previous job posting you saw. It wasn’t quite enough to buy your family a meal everyday, but you could at least guarantee that you’d eat every other day. But your life could be in danger. What’s the point of even eating a meal every other day when you’re constantly fearing for your life in the fatui? But what other choice did you have? At the very least, you could guarantee that if you somehow died, you’d be one less mouth to feed and one less burden to your family.
And like the desperate person you were, you mailed your application to the mailing address and showed up for the job interview once you were accepted.
-
You didn’t expect the location to be a giant mansion. You stared in awe as you saw the beautiful fountain in the front lawn and the numerous gardeners taking care of the plants. It reminded you of your past life, and you couldn’t help but feel an eerily empty feeling in your heart. You were staring at your past life while wearing the dirty rags of your new life and you wanted to know if this would still be your life if things hadn’t gone south with your family business.
”A mansion..” You whispered quietly with your mouth wide open.
Suddenly, a woman walks up next to you, startling you a bit. “Hello Miss. Are you here for the job interview?” She asked politely but with a monotone voice.
“If so, please let me lead the way.” You nodded your head and you began to follow her inside the mansion.
You passed by many long hallways and you saw the hundreds of other maids all working, cleaning, sweeping, and tidying the mansion. None of the other maids even spared you a single glance as they were so involved in their work. You couldn’t help but think about how you used to be the one in charge of these maids back in your old life. You couldn’t help but shed a tear from these painful memories.
“The Lord Regrator’s office is right here. Please knock before entering. Best of luck to you.” The woman explained with a cold voice, you could tell she didn’t mean the last part. She sounded as if she said it out of habit and didn’t mean it. Nonetheless you shrugged it off because hey? Why should it bother you.
You knocked. The next couple of seconds that followed felt like an eternity. You don’t hear anything.
You knock for the second time, and finally you hear a “come in”.
You were instantly greeted with a man sitting at his desk surrounded by a lit candle and paperwork. You had to admit, the man was pretty attractive and you could tell that he was dressed in the latest fashion trends. He had long black hair, a signature white harbinger coat, and his glasses remained perched on top of his nose.
The Regrator looked up from his papers and smiled at you, “please take a seat.”
You felt extremely uneasy as you felt his gaze in you as you walked over. It felt pretty awkward and the atmosphere was uncomfortable. You could tell that things were pretty tense.
“I’m not going to waste your time by boring you, but to simply put it, I can’t hire you.” The Regrator said sternly and his warm expression turned into that of a dull one.
“..Huh? Why?” You stammered out confused. You came all the way here just for him to tell you that?
“Simply put, your clothes look filthy and you don’t quite deserve to work under me.” He said sternly.
What the actual fuck? Did he just.. say that to you? You were quite shocked and it took you a minute to even say something in reply.
“Please! I really need this job. I’ll do anything!” You desperately begged, “I don’t have a job and I need one badly.”
“You are so adorable begging me like that.” The Regrator looked at you with a dark look in his eye. “Oh how the tables have turned.”
Geez what a creep. What’s he’s even talking about now?
“I can tell by your expression you’re very confused by what I mean by the last part.” He continued,
“Say, do you remember a place known as Liyuen Park?”
You froze. The mention of that playground was enough to bring back all the horrible memories. You instantly thought of the boy you bullied and your old friends. Time seemed to stop for a moment as you replayed the memories over and over again in your head. Wait.. could it be?..
“Pantalone?”
“Right on the jackpot sweetheart.”
Oh Archons. The embarrassment that you feel right now got even worse. You wanted to dig a deep hole and crawl into it.
The power gap between you and Pantalone couldn’t get any bigger. You, the one living in poverty while Pantalone lived in luxury.
You instantly knew that you were so fucked. You were not only messing with Pantalone, but a fatui harbinger too.
“I’m so sorry-“ You were interrupted before you could finish your rambling.
“I don’t need your apologies darling,” Pantalone replied sweetly. “I hope you realize the dangerous situation you are in right now. I’m gonna make your life a living hell, and that’s a promise.” He said with a crazy glint in his eyes.
“Anyways, I was only playing with you. You’re officially hired and you start tomorrow.” Pantalone said with a smile, “Oh and we’re gonna have a lot of fun together too.”
“You’re dismissed.” He went back to his paperwork indicating that the conversation was over.
You gulped and walked out of the office. You couldn’t believe what just happened. You met the boy you bullied and turns out he’s your new boss now?
You walked home in silence as fear creeped inside your veins and clouded your mind.
Now you were really starting to understand the inevitable consequences of your actions and how your past deeds eventually caught up to you.
Afterall, what goes around comes around.

Hi, I am Gabrielle from the Philippines. I know almost everyone is facing financial problems right now but I can't think of any other way to solve mine.
Just a little background, I'm an orphan for almost 3 years now, married, and with a 1 year old son. My father died last 2020 due to complications of his hypertension while my mother died last 2022 because of stage 4 breast cancer.
After losing them both, I tried to start again, have my own family, and survive. When I got pregnant, I was so eager to have a normal delivery but things didn't go well and I had to go an emergency cesarian section option for my delivery. The money we had that time was sufficient for a normal birth delivery package, so I got no choice but to pawn my deceased mother's ONLY piece of genuine jewelry so that the rest of the hospital bill will be paid.
Fast forward to December 2024, I lost my job. What kept my family going was the volunteer work that I do. Sometimes, we get allowances. Sometimes, we're given food packs. Most of the time, we just get thank you's. It was spiritually fulfilling but physically draining. My husband was also a contractual worker and his last contract ended last November 2024. Up until today, April 2025, he's still jobless, waiting to be called again.
I have a side hustle -- DIY decoden. But my supplies are not complete, I don't have a wide variety of charms or decors to choose from and customers don't come on a daily basis. Once in a week is already a blessing for me.
Beginning of this month, the pawnshop, where I pawned my mom's jewelry, said that my pawned item will expire on April 31, 2025. Once it expires, I can no longer have the jewelry again.
It's been days of worries and regrets. This is also one of the reasons why I stopped the fundraising for Tutoy. My own family is also struggling financially and worst, Mama's only well-kept jewelry might be gone because of me. I don't want to lose my only memory of her.
I'm writing and posting this to BEG for help. Yes, I'm HUMBLY BEGGING FOR MYSELF AND Y FAMILY. I urgently need help to redeem the jewelry before it expires. Please help me. This is the only tangible memory of my Mama.
If you can help me and willing to do so, you may send your donation to my P@yp#l account: @camillefadriquelan
or my Ko-fi account: https://ko-fi.com/mommypurple
I tried looking for a picture of the jewelry but my old phone was already sold to a buy and sell group before so I can't post it here as well.
I'd forever be grateful to everyone who can help me -- be it through reblogs, reacts, comments, or donations. I pledge to pay it forward in my volunteer works in the future.
(Attached is the receipt of the pawned item and the amount I need to pay in PH peso.)

Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
$0/700

"We're married"
《 from Raye Penber @first-frost-fallen-snow because that would be the funniest route to me also sorry for like disappearing I was focusing on moving out and now my fatigue is killing me 》
Ed awoke for once not slumped over his keyboard, yet also not in the empty apartment he'd moved into when he first moved to Japan. Though he supposed technically, the apartment he was in belonged to him, as did the bed he lay in, though both truly belonged to the man laying next to him. He squinted at the clock on his nightstand, at red LED numbers so blurry, only years of practice allowed him to decipher the time without having to put his glasses on. He still had time before he had to get up, a couple of hours before he had to get to work.
A flash of gold on the nightstand drew his eyes from the clock to the ring next to his glasses. It was the only piece of jewelry he owned, and far more expensive than anything he would ever purchase for himself. There was a similar ring on the other nightstand on the opposite side of the bed that belonged to the other occupant--Raye Penber.
Ed... still didn't know what to make of his new situation, let alone the man he was now legally bound to. He didn't hate him, certainly, though whether he trusted him was yet to be decided. Their marriage hadn't been Ed's idea, nor had it been Raye's. A necessity to facilitate the Kira investigation, it had been called, and Ed had only begrudgingly agreed to it for fear of opposition somehow being used against him as evidence and landing him in prison.
Thought of their marriage left an uneasy feeling in his stomach. He'd sworn when he got his job at Encom, and finally escaped his father's control that he would never put himself in any sort relationship where there was a power imbalance and they were not equals. He wouldn't put himself in a situation where he could be abused again. And yet here he was, a foreigner, far from anyone he could call a friendly face, barely understanding the language and culture, and though their partnership was supposed to be one of equals, it didn't feel that way.
Not that he had anyone on the other side of the Pacific he could call for help if he was able, anyway. His therapist, maybe. Though he didn't trust that the call wouldn't be monitored. Or an old rival, if he was desperate.
He felt trapped. He was relying on a man he barely knew to keep him from being falsely accused of mass murder. He was at risk, not just from his partner, but from the people in charge of the investigation as well, People he felt like were treating the investigation as nothing more than a game, where both his and his partner's lives were nothing more than disposable pawns.
How strange it was, that such a tiny band of metal could hold so much meaning. To others, it would have been a symbol of joy as bright as it's polished surface, but to Ed it had just replaced the physical handcuffs that had bound him to his legal partner to with a symbolic one.

I keep imagining Percy in all those kind of flowy dramatic Xianxia style clothes
Every time Percy ascends he ends up in a set of robes properly fitting his status as a god (and technically also a prince that he has no idea that his dad made his official title after he was claimed) and he gets so frustrated every time because where the fuck did his jeans go do they have any idea how much it cost his mom to get new ones after his last growth spurt?
Bright side: the outfits come with a lot of priceless jewelry that he convinces his mom to pawn because it’s not like he’s going to wear it and once he gets old enough to pawn them himself he never runs out of money on a quest again
#the elf talks#pjo#tgcf#heavenly menace au#Annabeth and Grover start carrying changes of clothes for Percy in case of a surprise ascension becuase the robes are not subtle
