Hiiiiii. Sorry, random person on the internet reading threads of power here. I've been going around begging people who have already finished it to let me know whether Kel gets his power back by the end of the book or not because I am IN PAIN. Would you be able a poor anxious reader out? I know there are more efficient ways to get this info, but I'm trying to avoid any other spoilers...
hello equally random person on the internet
lucky for you i devoured threads in like three days so i can actually answer this for you if you’d like!
i’ll keep it vague on the off chance you don’t want the specific specific detail (and if people following me also don’t want it—idk how many people follow me who also want to read threads, though)
but, i will say this: things do look up for kell as the book progresses. it does get very shit for him before it gets better, but things do look up for him

Vampire AU!
Characters: Chuuya, PM!Dazai, ADA! Dazai
Warnings: Mention of Blood, Suicide, Starving, Marking
Spoilers: S5, Chapter 111.5
Tumblr media
Chuuya:
- Chuuya lives within the darkness already due to his job in the mafia, so having no access to sunlight doesn’t bother him
- Of course it does interfere with a few missions but he has other subordinates he can send for him
- He’s not a heavy drinker surprisingly, Chuuya can go a whole day without drinking blood
- Usually he drinks blood though his wineglass so it doesn’t seem too suspicious
- No one notices, unless they know its blood or have a keen eye
- Though if he’s on a mission to kill he’ll drink directly from the source
- Chuuya is obsessed with your blood too, if you’ll let him he’d gladly oblige to drinking yous
- Whenever your neck has a bite marks on it he gives you his choker to hide the marks (also so no one asks questions)
- For others, they’d also just see you wearing his choker as a symbol your taken by him, which he also loves aswell
- His fangs are tiny & cute, they look similar to what they looked like when he faked being a vampire
- They’d look so cute though
- Sometimes he threatens the port mafia’s enemies with his fangs and they get scared off
- Or even threaten them by trying to drink their blood
- Usually it works, if it doesn’t then hes always hungry for more food
- When he goes to pretend to be a vampire, its easier now that he actually is one
Tumblr media
PM! Dazai:
- Oh boy this man is even more sadistic
- Dazai loves to drink your blood, he refuses to have anyone elses after he starts dating you, he’d rather starve than drink off of someone else
- Dazai also threatens his victims that he’ll suck their blood, 9 times out of 10 it works
- When that 1/10 chance happens, he shoots the person instead, he can’t betray you and drink someone else’s blood now can he?
- Loves biting you and seeing his marks on your skin
- Not to mention he loves lying you down & hugging you while he bites
- Bites your wrist or thighs the most
- If any bite marks fade you bet he’s remarking you in the most obvious places
- Yes, he’s tried garlic as a suicide method (he hated it, was in a lot of pain, now bans garlic from everywhere)
- Dazai takes you on every mission as an excuse if he “needs blood” because he won’t want to “underperform” now would he? he just wants to hug you and will miss you
- As a vampire, he’s also very clingy (even though he’s already clingy…. hes extra clingy)
ADA Dazai:
- Not too different
- Whenever hes bored at work and your busy working he convinces you that hes starving at that exact moment so he needs to feed on you
- Especially right after he finishes a mission, dragging you into the nearest alleyway to bite into you
- Although, due to his inability to walk in the sun you guys only do nightmissions
- And throughout the day, he cuddles you while going to sleepover
- Every so often he makes you buy groceries and such as he can’t walk outside
- But while your out he gets lonely and doesn’t let you leave his grip for an hour

Word Count: 11k 
Tumblr media
You carefully stomped your way over to Choso’s place, pulling up your scarf over your nose as another blast of winter frost came your way. You promised Yuuji that you would make snowmen with him today, but it doesn’t seem like the weather is going to die down anytime soon. You hummed to yourself as you made your usual trek to the quiet and grand house where Choso and Yuuji lived. You first met Yuuji when he got lost and ended up wandering around in front of your apartment. He was the sweetest little boy you ever met, albeit a bit hyper at times. 
His round and chubby cheeks were stained with tears, calling out for “Big bro Choso!” You crouched down near him and soothed him enough to get some information; he instantly took a liking to you, clutching onto your hand as you walked him back to his house. Halfway through, he started babbling about everything and anything—his friends at school, his big brother, his family, the cereal he likes. All sense of panic and fear quickly vanished with you by his side. As you stepped onto the driveway of Yuuji’s house, a disheveled-looking man with twin hair buns came running out of the house, diving straight for Yuuji. Holding him in a tight bear hug for a quick minute, then letting go so he could check over for any injuries as words spilled out from his lips. 
He didn’t even notice you were there until Yuuji wiggled out of his grasp and went back to hug your leg. You looked down at this “Big bro” as his mouth dropped in shock seeing his sweet little brother leave him for someone else. You took this chance to study his face a bit, noticing dark eyes covered in heavy purple shadow, multiple piercings, and a sad-kicked puppy looking pout adorning his lips as he called for Yuuji again. You had to stifle a laugh as Yuuji shuffled behind your leg even more. Yuuji’s older brother finally got back on his feet and introduced himself to you as ‘Choso’.
He told you that he was playing ‘hide and seek’ with Yuuji and was almost about to call the police when you rolled up. “I was tearing up the house looking for him.” Choso sighs out, looking at Yuuji, who now has a pout on his face as well, clutching at his shirt as his cheeks start to redden up again. He stepped out from behind you and ran to Choso, who quickly scooped him up in his arms. Holding him close as Yuuji gives out muffled apologies in between his sobs. Choso’s smooth baritone voice lulls both Yuuji and you somehow, as Yuuji’s sobs quiet down soon after.
Choso gently rubs Yuuji’s back and plants a soft forehead kiss as he brushes away his tears. “It’s alright; I’m not mad at you. I was just worried, that’s all. Next time we play hide and seek, just don’t leave the house, alright?” Yuuji burbled out more “Sowwies” and wiped his snot and tears on Choso’s shirt. Choso chuckles at the action, seemingly used to his little brother’s antics at this point. He shifts Yuuji on his arm and turns to look at you. “Thank you for taking care of my brother; I wouldn’t know what to do if something happened to him..” He shakes his head, shaking off any thoughts or visions of Yuuji being harmed.
“Let me pay you for bringing him back.” He steadies Yuuji on one arm as he reaches into his pocket with his other. You quickly wave your hands in front of you, “No, no! Really, it's fine! I’m just glad the little guy’s alright.” Yuuji pops up his head and looks your way as well, his chubby little hand reaching out for yours. You reach back out and let him wrap his entire hand around your thumb. Cooing softly, Choso watches on with a small blush on his face. Clearing his throat, he addresses you again. “Ah, I haven’t introduced myself, have I? I’m Choso, and you already seem to be acquainted with Yuuji here.” Said boy giggled happily, waving your hand up and down.
“Ah, right! The name’s Y/N; it’s really nice to meet you and Yuuji. I live in the apartment blocks just a couple of streets down.” Choso raised an eyebrow at that. “The student’s apartment? Are you going to Jujutsu Tech as well?” Yuuji released your thumb, giving you a chance to poke at his cheek, causing more giggles to spill out. “I do, actually! I’m studying hospitality currently; I’m guessing you go there too?” Choso nods, “Yeah, but I’m in criminal psychology. That must be why I haven’t noticed you on campus before.” Choso murmurs out the last part under his breath, hiding his blush with another cough. 
Your phone rings, reminding you that you have only two hours left before your test closes online. You silently cursed to yourself, forgetting all about it. You wave goodbye to Yuuji and Choso, “Sorry, I forgot I had a test to do online tonight! I’ll see you around campus though, later!” You start sprinting back to your apartment, leaving behind a bewildered Choso and a waving Yuuji. Yuuji tugs at Choso’s shirt, “Can we see the nice lady again, Cho-Cho?” Choso runs a hand through his hair and sighs, “I hope so, I sure hope so…”
As luck would have it, you did end up seeing them again; you don’t know how you didn’t recognize Choso before on campus. His style and fashion choices are super unique, so you were able to easily spot him. The two of you got more acquainted with each other by taking lunch breaks when you both had a free hour from classes and studying together in the library. Choso mentioned Yuuji and how he wanted to see you again and asked you, “My classes sometimes run from evening to night, and I usually leave Yuuji with a babysitter, but I think he prefers you more. Would it be alright if I asked you to babysit him sometime?” 
You readily agreed; you were also missing the little pink-haired toddler, so you didn’t mind. Choso offered to pay you the same rate as the babysitter, but you talked him down to only paying you half. Mentioning that it was no problem at all for you to babysit Yuuji. That was only a couple of months ago, and you got along so well with the two of them. Yuuji is a sweetheart and Choso, and while his outer appearance seems a bit dark and edgy, he was a huge dork and softball underneath all those layers of eyeshadow.
You finally reached the front porch of Choso’s grand house, shivering from the cold, you quickly brought out the keys that Choso gave you a while back. Turning the lock and stepping inside, “Yuuji! Choso! I’m here!” You called out, just in case they were already home. You checked your phone to see if any other text messages were sent from Choso. 
Cho-Cho:
Cho-Cho: “Hey, I’m going to the Preschool soon to pick up Yuuji but I got called into work today. :c Would you mind looking after Yuuji for me when I go back home to drop him off?
You: “Course not! Tell the little guy that I’ll be waiting for him at home!”
Cho-Cho: “Alright, Thanks! ^-^”
You sent a quick message to him, stating that you had arrived at the house. Taking off your snow boots and shrugging off your jacket, you stepped further into the house. Humming to yourself as you make your way into the kitchen and pull out two mugs, some hot cocoa mix, and mini marshmallows. The mugs clink together as you start preparing your sweet treat for you and Yuuji when he gets home. You were so caught up in your little song and dance that you didn’t notice a new presence coming into the kitchen as well. “Oh my, what’s this now?” It was a deep and smooth voice, but not like Choso's, and unless Yuuji got an incredible growth spurt, you were sure that the voice belonged to someone you did not know. 
You turned around quickly and found a tall, dark-haired man leaning on the kitchen counter. His eyes close to almost slit as he tilts his head and stares down at you. He loosens his tie as he observes you. “May I get the pleasure of knowing the name of the cute little intruder in my home?” He purrs out, and you fight hard to stop a blush from creeping up. “Your home? Last time I checked, this house belonged to Choso and Yuuji.” You backed up until you hit the counter, your hands quietly moving behind you to pull out a knife. The man tilts his head the other way, sort of akin to a cat watching over his prey; he stalks forward. “Choso and Yuuji? You mean my sons?”
Your hands start to tremble a bit under his gaze. He was close enough now to trap you between his body and the counter. “You’re their dad?” You questioned warily.
 Your eyes narrow at him, and a hiss almost escapes your lips as you take in his appearance. He was wearing a sleek dark suit, with the jacket taken off and the sleeves of his white button up rolled up the way to his elbows. The hair color might be similar to Choso, and the overall dark and edgy vibes kind of fit with Choso too, but this stranger looks nothing like Yuuji. Well, to be fair, Choso doesn’t look like Yuuji either. Your eyes travel up to his face, his snake-like eyes carefully watching over your next move, his pretty jawline and cheekbones, and his bangs that softly draped over one side of his face. 
 And… stitches? Stitches that form a line going across his forehead. You stared a bit too long at it as the stranger let out a chuckle. Brushing his hair away from his forehead, “What is it, hmm? Like what you see?” You reply with a garbled noise, the hand that was on the knife jumping up in shock and making a racket in the drawer behind you. The stranger lets out a bigger laugh this time, easily moving closer in, chest to chest, as his long arms reach behind you to take the knife from your hand and put it back in the drawer, closing it. “Little girls like you shouldn’t be playing around with knives, you know; didn’t your parents ever teach you any better?”
Normally, you would have been mad at this statement and the fact that he so casually came up close to you and touched you without permission. But there was something off about him—something that made your knees weak and your mind spin. Was it the type of cologne he uses? It was dark, cool, and intoxicating. Mint, berries, and whiskey—almost an odd combination, but it works wonders for him. Maybe it was how his voice sounded—the way he spoke near your ear, sending tremors down your spine. Velvety with an odd accent you couldn’t place a finger on, almost unhuman-like, like he was an alien trying to mimic human speech or a siren trying to lure you into his trap. 
The stranger took note of the look on your face and your body language, smirking as he didn’t move away from you, getting even closer in fact. Grabbing a hold of your chin and tilting it up so you could look directly into his eyes. “What’s wrong, pup? Cat got your tongue?” He purrs out heavenly, his hand colder than you expect; maybe he just got in from the winter front outside too. You shudder out a sigh when you see him lean in, your eyes closing down as you wait for the next action to take place. Then nothing; the coldness leaves you feeling nothing but a bit of shame and heat pooling in your stomach. 
The stranger walks away with a wide, toothy grin, wagging a finger at you. “Now, what did you think I was going to do to you, hmm, pup?” Your face flushed badly, and you stood up straight, feeling your mind get out of the fog now that he was away from you. “Don’t call me that, and you’re the weird one here! Didn’t your parents ever tell you to respect people’s personal space?” You cross your arms and huff out your cheeks, walking past him and taking out your phone to text Choso. The stranger, or, you should say, Choso’s dad, watches you stomp off, his eyes never leaving your form. 
Cho-Cho:
You: Hey!! Where are you?
Cho-Cho: Sorry, the storm got really bad here, so we’re hunkering down. We’re staying with the teachers now. -n-
Cho-Cho: You don’t have to come over anymore. 
You: Are Yuuji and the other kids ok? And also, I’m already here with your…. Dad :/ Hes kinda annoying tbh 
Cho-Cho: Oh right, dad's supposed to come home today. Yuuji and the kids are fine, they think it’s a sleepover. Yuuji keeps asking for you though :c
Cho-Cho: Don’t worry about dad too much, he's kinda weird but he means no harm. 
Cho-Cho: Oh, Yuuji calling for me, I gotta go help look after the kids. Call me if you need anything \o/
You frown at the last message, a part of you hoping for Choso to say that this guy wasn’t his dad so you could call the cops on him or something. You glance his way again, noticing his eyes closed in a fox-like smile. He is... oddly beautiful; you’ll give him that at least. You roll your shoulders back and make your way to the door. “Since Yuuji or Choso aren’t going to be here, I’ll just take my leave then.” You mumbled, your cheeks feeling a bit heated from being around this strange man so much. He calls after you, “I don’t think you should open that door, pup.” You roll your eyes, not wanting to fall for any more of his tricks. “And why’s that?” You sarcastically retort back as your hand twists the knob open. 
You barely opened it outward when the harsh winter wind blew the door wide open, almost throwing you to the ground as well. Snow and frost assaulted your vision. Your hands quickly tried to close the door again, to no avail, your boots slipping on the ice below you. Your eyes forced shut from the onslaught, you suddenly felt a tug on your hoodie, and you were pulled back into the house, and the door was slammed shut a few moments later. You kneeled on the ground, heaving out heavily as your body tried to regulate itself back to normal. 
A hand is placed softly on your hair, petting you, and a soothing tone comes out to try to calm you down. Another hand is placed on your cheek, the large flat of the palm covering your entire cheek as it lifts your face up.
 “There, there, you’re safe now. Hmm~, maybe next time you should listen to me?” You felt the warm breath of someone washing over your face as well, and your body reacted by leaning in closer to the source of the warmth. Sagging your head down until it reaches a comfortable place. Right in the crook of Choso’s dad's neck, his scent was comforting you, making you squish your face in closer.
His hand on top of your head continued petting you while his other traveled to your back. Rubbing up and down on your spine in a gentle manner, with enough pressure on his fingertips to make himself known there, The sound of a phone brings you out of your stupor; you lift your head sluggishly and blink at the face in front of you. The man gives you another toothy grin, pinching your cheek in a teasing manner. You scrambled back with a yelp, glaring furiously at him. He raised his hands in mock surrender. “You were the one coming on to me, pup.” He gets up and checks his phone, answering a call and giving you one last glance before walking off. 
You stood up after a while of pretending what happened just didn’t happen. Shuffling your way in the living room and flopping down on the couch, grabbing a pillow and clutching it to your chest like some sort of protection charm. You switched on the TV and tried to focus on the random Hallmark movie playing on screen. Choso’s dad soon comes to the living room and flops down right next to you. Knocking his long legs right into yours, you scrunch up your nose and scoot your legs a bit away from the man. “Come now, Y/N~ Let’s get along with each other~”
He coos at you with that sickening sweet tone of his, and you hiss at him, “I don’t recall ever telling you my name.” He raised an eyebrow back at you. “Choso and Yuuji often talk about a cute little girl with that name, and I just assumed it belonged to you, pup. And while we’re on the topic, you can call me Kenjaku or Daddy too if you prefer~” 
You almost threw your pillow at him for that last statement: “If you don’t like me calling you by your name, I’ll just stick to calling you pup then, or puppy perhaps?” He continues on, pretending not to notice how agitated you were getting. Sticking out his tongue at you childishly when you flipped him off. “Choso told me a lot about you; you know, he talks more about you than Yuuji does.” Kenjaku stares down at you with an indiscernible glint in his eyes. “I think it is only fair that I tell you a little about me, hmm?”
 He angles his legs towards you as he places an elbow on the back of the couch and leans on his hand. The realization comes over you once again of just how imposing this guy was; a simple action like that made it seem like he was still towering over you.
He taps a finger on his chin, eyes closed in thought, “Let’s see… What should I tell you about myself? Hmm, I like grilled fish and simmered vegetables, I’m a single parent to Choso and Yuuji, and…” He opens his eyes as his hand brushes away his bangs, fingers tracing along his stitches as he watches your face. Your eyes glued to the odd stitching lace on Kenjaku’s forehead. “Heh.. and I work as a hypnotherapist!” He claps his hands together loudly, making you jump back in shock. Your eyes flicker back to the stitches on his forehead. You wanted to ask him about it but that would be rude. So you just ask him the next question on your mind. 
“A hypnotherapist….?”You ask, unsure what exactly that means, Kenjaku nods, leaning in closer to you. “Just like a regular therapist, my dear. Expect I use some different techniques to get my clients to feel…. Better.” You don’t know why, but the way he said that sent a shiver down your spine. “Uh huh… so you just wave your hand around or make people look at a swinging pocket watch until they get better or something like that?” You lean back onto the couch, clutching the pillow tighter to your chest. Kenjaku smirks, “Not exactly, would you like to see my work in action?”
You raise an eyebrow at that, and Kenjaku gets up and stands in front of you. “I can see that you've been stressed lately, haven’t you? Exams, family issues, seasonal depression? Either way, I can help fix all that and make all your worries wash away~” You shifted uncomfortably under his gaze. “I’m not sure about th-” Kenjaku cuts you off by placing a finger on his lips in a shushing motion. “Just one try, and I promise I’ll leave you alone after. How does that sound, pup?” You pouted and thought about it for a moment. Your gut was telling you this was a bad idea, but something else inside you was curious to see how this would play out. 
“It would sound better if you stopped calling me ‘pup’, but fine, I'll try this hypnotherapy or whatever.” You cross your arms over the pillow and look up at Kenjaku, who has an extremely wide and delightful smile on his face. “Good, good. Now just sit back and relax. Close your eyes and just listen to my voice. Don’t think of anything but my voice now…” You did as you were told, sinking back into the couch and finding a comfortable position. Letting your eyes shut close and sighing out as you listen to Kenjaku’s voice guiding you.
“Breath in slowly, feel the air slowly fill your lungs…and expand in…..and….out”
“In…..and……out”
You took in a couple of deep and slow breaths, feeling your chest expand with air, the rise and fall of it lulling you into a sense of calm. Kenjaku did a couple counts of breathing with you, making you hold each breath a second longer than the last. Your shoulders lowered a bit after this small exercise, but you were still wary. Your face scrunched a bit as you listened more to Kenjaku’s instructions. 
“Hold your hands out for me, palms facing upwards, please.”
You hesitated for a bit but held out your hands, facing downwards, just to spite him a little. Kenjaku said nothing about it as his larger hands placed themselves over yours and flipped your hand around so your palms were facing up like he wanted them to be. Running his thumbs up and down your wrist and circling them softly on your pulse point. His other fingers slowly trailing behind, and his nails gently scraping the inside of your palm. In a methodical, rhythmic pattern, he continued to dance his fingertips on your palm, as he spoke again.
A pleasurable shiver was coursing through your body at the feeling of his fingertips dancing along your skin. “You’re a strong girl, aren’t cha? Hmm, I can tell, shouldering so many burdens lately. You poor thing…” He sighs out, thumb-tapping on your pulse point, almost matching the way your heartbeat was thumping against your chest. “Poor little girl… suffering so quietly so you wouldn’t burden the people around you. When’s the last time you did something for yourself, hmm? When’s the last time someone did something for you..” Your mind raced to think of something to answer his question with, you barely felt it when his hand crept its way up your arm. 
His nails lightly dragging down the length of your arm in a soothing manner, “You don’t need to answer me verbally, pup. I know… I know how strong you’ve been and how much you've been holding back. You're such a strong girl, doing so good. So good… You deserve a reward, don’t you think so?” It was weird, you could hear Kenjaku perfectly fine, but after some of his sentences, it felt like a second Kenjaku was whispering right behind your ear. It was weird but also oddly comforting? You agreed with everything he was saying so far; you did deserve a reward for working so hard lately.
“I can take care of that. I can take care of you… trust me… Trust me, won’t you?” His hands circle around your wrist, and you feel his presence get closer to you. Your eyes twitch, but you keep them closed. “I know you’ll trust me, smart girl, like you understand that I would never hurt you, right? I would never…” His minty breath sweeps over you. When did he get so close…? You start to lean in unconsciously, almost bumping your head with Kenjaku’s. A chuckle slips from his lips, and he rests his forehead on yours, interlacing his fingers with yours. “Good girl… You can find comfort in me; I am here for you… I can make you feel so good…trust me…” 
It wouldn’t be too bad of an idea to trust him, right? I mean, what the worst that could happen, you deserve something good to happen to you. One of his hands leaves your arm to delicately caress your cheek, his fingers playing with the soft flesh. His thumb softly running over your bottom lips, “Trust me? You can trust me… Let me show you how good I can treat you, puppy.” You nodded dumbly, trying to lean even more forward, accidentally pushing his thumb pass inside your mouth. Kenjaku’s laugh a bit loudly at this, slipping his thumb out and licking away at the small speck of salvia that came out.
“Impatient aren’t we, pup?” 
He leans down, pressing his lips onto yours, firmly gripping on to the back of your neck. He gives you small smooches on your lips, pressing each one longer than the last. You tug on his shirt, feeling a pit of warmth start to bubble inside you. A small whine comes from you. You’re a good girl; shouldn’t you deserve more than just small kisses? Your eyes flutter open to finally take a look at him. Was he always this handsome and ravishing? The background seems a little blurry to you; the only thing that you could see clearly was Kenjaku. You kept tugging on his shirt to pull him in closer. 
“Hmm? What’s wrong, pup? Can’t use your words? Silly puppy… of course you can’t, puppies can’t speak after all. All you need to do is bark when I say so, and whine when you need something, alright?”
His fingers start to trail down your spine; “Very simple thing, I know that a smart puppy like you would have no problem following these simple rules, right?” Before you could answer, he pressed his lips on you again, holding his lips against yours almost suffocatingly. Still, there was no tongue in this kiss, and you were getting impatient. You paw at his shirt, unbuttoning the top two buttons sloppily. Kenjaku stops your hands and holds your chin up, a disappointed look is painted on his face. “Patient, pup. No need to act so unruly now.” Something in your chest got twisted, and you felt the air get punched out of you. You didn’t want to disappoint Kenjaku. For some reason, seeing him with that face made you instantly back down.
Kenjaku holds you in place though, a smile reappearing on his face, swiping his thumb over your bottom lip. “Good puppy, I know you didn’t mean to be bad… my puppy… Sweet girl, you’re still ready for more, right?” You start nodding but stop halfway as a part of your brain starts to wake up a bit, the fog clears a bit. Your mouth opens to speak but Kenjaku shushes you with his tongue this time, slipping it inside and brushing against your own tongue. The fog comes slamming back full force into you once again. Your hands clutch on to Kenjaku’s shirt once more as he leans you back onto the couch, pressing his body directly on top of you.
Kenjaku holds you in place though, a smile reappearing on his face, swiping his thumb over your bottom lip. “Good puppy, I know you didn’t mean to be bad… my puppy… Sweet girl, you’re still ready for more, right?” You start nodding but stop halfway as a part of your brain starts to wake up a bit, and the fog clears a bit. Your mouth opens to speak, but Kenjaku shushes you with his tongue this time, slipping it inside and brushing against your own tongue. The fog comes slamming back full force into you once again. Your hands clutch on to Kenjaku’s shirt once more as he leans you back onto the couch, pressing his body directly on top of you.
He kissed with precision and a carnal greed, his tongue overlapping over yours, coating it out and sucking on the wet muscle, making you groan with need. He grinds his hips on you, giving you that much-needed, delicious friction right on your core. He takes your hands and places them right above your head. 
“Keep 'em here, pup.” He growls out, lifting up the hem of your hoodie and pulling it up and over, doing the same to your shirt underneath until you were left bare with only a bra covering your chest. Your arms try to move down to cover yourself from his heated gaze, but Kenjaku snaps his fingers at you, “Ah, ah. I didn’t say you could move yet.” Your arms snapped back up in haste, and an embarrassed blush dusted your cheeks. Kenjaku coos at you, patting your cheek softly with the palm of his hand, “Good girl~ Keep being good for me… Now, let me start my second phase of treatment, hmm?” He trails his hand down from your cheek down onto your shoulder, playing with the strap of your bra. 
 Hooking a finger underneath it, sliding it slowly off your shoulder, and doing the same on the other side. Pushing down your bra just enough so your perky nipples could pop over the top. He lets out a content sigh upon seeing them, leaning in so his breath could tickle over your pretty little nubs. You shivered at the contact, and your arms shook a little too, starting to feel a bit tired from holding them up for so long. But you didn’t want to disappoint Kenjaku again, what if he stopped his treatment? Still,  you were getting a little impatient with how slow he was going. You wiggle a bit, and a small pout adorns your lips.
Kenjaku glances up at you, chuckling softly. “My, my. Such a needy pup, aren’t you? But I suppose that’s my fault. I did tell you that I would take care of you, didn’t I?” He guides your arms down to your side; “Keep them there, and don’t touch me until I tell you to, alright? It's for your good.” Your answer was cut short by a moan as Kenjaku’s tongue flicked out to ravish your nipple. Swirling around the swollen bud with the tip of his tongue, his hand comes up to play with the other side, groping and pinching your breast in all the right places. Your hands dig into the couch, trying to steady yourself from the onslaught. Your head tilts back as he finally puts his mouth on you.
Capturing your pretty little nub in his mouth and sucking harshly, teeth scraping over your sensitive flesh. He used his free hand to sneak down and unbutton your pants, just enough so he could fit his hand under and tease the outline of your pussy over your panties. Kenjaku was skilled at toeing the line between pain and pleasure, pinching and biting so often but not enough to make it truly hurt, always pushing you to the edge and then bringing you back down softly. Running his tongue over the bite marks, soothing the pain away, his hand on your chest gently rubbing on any red marks he left, while the other one distracts you by thumbing over the swell of your clit through your panties. 
 A delicate dance that he was the lead in, forcing you to play along to his whims. You could barely hear your own pathetic moans or feel how wet you were getting; the fog in your brain was overcome by the increasing pleasure. At some point, he pulled your pants to the side and started to rub the pad of his thumb directly on your clit, tracing nonsensical words or patterns on it to keep you on the edge. He leans up and away from your marked chest, to whisper in your ear, his husky voice giving back-handed praises that you couldn’t wrap your head around, it only made you all the wetter. 
 Your hips bucked up to get more friction for your much-needed release, if only Kenjaku wasn’t pushing you back down by the hips each time you tried. “Ken-Kenjaku, please! I deserve it, right?” You blubbered out, tears falling down your cheeks, which Kenjaku happily wiped away with his tongue. “I’m a good girl….” You whined, bucking your hips even more as Kenjaku increased the pace of his thumb. 
He only hummed in response, licking a stripe up your cheek and placing a small kiss on the corner of your eye. “I didn’t know that my sweet puppy was such a slut. Poor thing, did all of those college boys fail to give this pussy what she needs?”
He slowed his pace down but slipped a finger in your sopping wet entrance, still finding some resistance and tightness even with all the buildup. Your body moves to try to adjust to Kenjaku’s long finger, but he quickly shushes you, planting more kisses on your tear-stained face. “You do deserve it; you’re right. You are my good puppy after all… All mine now... Say that you’re my good puppy, and I’ll let you cum, hmm?” He slipped in another finger to add to the stretch as your mouth parts opened to give him his answer. A choked moan escaped your lips, and you struggled to form the words he was looking for.
“I-I’m your good puppy.”
“Again.” He starts to scissor his finger, the stretch starts to become a little painful.
“I’m your good puppy..”
“Louder.” His thumb stops its assault on your clit but his fingers keep plunging deep into your cunt.
“I’m your good puppy!” 
Your scream was mixed with the lewd, squelching sound of your wet cunt as he returned his thumb and your hips jerk up in rhythm with his fingers. Your hands left the couch to find purchase on Kenjaku’s shoulders, digging in as your body arced off the couch, an intense orgasm ripping its way through your body. Kenjaku pulls out his fingers until only one remains in your cunt, curled in a bit to still tease your g-spot. His thumb smears your slick on the area above your clit, occasionally grazing it and laughing at how your body twitches each time it does.
Pulling out his finger as whimpers formed on your lips, “Good puppy~ Since you did so well, I’ll overlook you speaking without turn this time.”  
He lifts up his soaked hand and smears his fingers on your lips, parting them open and slipping them on your awaiting tongue. Coating your wet muscle with your own sweet slick, his long fingers descend further down your mouth, almost reaching your gagging point. 
“You’re still hungry for more, aren’t you? I know that something as simple as that wouldn’t be enough to satisfy my greedy pup.. My good puppy… Just keep listening to me, and I'll treat you right.” He holds your chin in his other hand and shakes it up and down to make it seem like you were nodding. You try to gurgle out an answer with his fingers still shoved down your throat, but he laughs and kisses the bridge of your nose with a twinkle in his eye.
“No, puppy. It’s alright, no more words; just let me do all the talking until I tell you to.”   
Once his fingers left your mouth, a string of salvia connected along with it. You swallowed down the building drool in your throat and looked up at him expectantly. “Hips up now, come on.” He pats your ass, hooks his fingers in your waistband, and swiftly pulls them off of you. Your cute, soaked panties were now on display as he palmed the front a bit, making you shiver and buck up to ride the palm of his hand. He sighs mirthfully at your eager display, lifting your ass up again so he could pull these off as well, stuffing the garment in his pocket. 
He pats your cheek with a smile for listening so well and shuffles downward on his knees, lifting your own knees up and placing the flats of your foot on the couch as he settles down between them. A sudden wave of embarrassment befell you as you looked down and felt your drenched cunt start to stain the fabric of the couch. A whine emits from your throat, and you were about to speak, but a cursory glance upward from Kenjaku made you shut your mouth entirely.  
He didn’t say anything at that moment, but your mind spoke for him. “Good puppies don’t speak unless told.”  
You settled for another whine, hoping he would get your discomfort, but if he did, he didn’t do anything about it. Instead, he starts his next phase of treatment by trailing open-mouth kisses on the side of your thighs, down to your hip line, and right next to the place you want his tongue to be on the most. He left little nips and marks here and there, making you squirm and wiggle on the couch, his hands firmly grasping on the thick part of your thighs, pushing you backwards on the couch. He kissed right about your needy little clit, tongue darting out to spell his name right above it.
“K…E…N…J…A…K…U…”
As he finishes tracing the outline of the "U” he leans back, admiring his handiwork so far and the way your pussy keeps clenching around nothing. Using his thumb to spread your lips even further, he descends at an agonizingly slow pace, keeping his dark hazel eyes on your face the whole way down. It felt like forever until his lips finally touched your sweet, swollen clit, sucking on the nub softly. Tongue flicking out like a devilish snake, licking up and down your cunt, mapping out the spots in his head of where you’re most sensitive. 
Your nails claw into the couch as mewls and whines pass your lips as Kenjaku works his tongue on your cunt. Nose often bumping into your clit, giving you that nice jolt of pleasure as he maneuvers your thighs over his shoulder, making you cross your legs over his neck as he pushes you back deeper on the couch. Moving forward along with you, sticking out his tongue and bobbing his head up and down as he tongue-fucked your tight little hole.
 You couldn’t buck up your hips or try to move away; his arms were coiled around your thighs, and he put all of his weight and power into it. Leaving you a helpless victim to his divine and torturous assault, your thighs squeeze around your head, but that didn’t deter Kenjaku in any way; in fact, it might even be fueling him to go in even deeper into your willing cunt. 
You vaguely wonder if he could even breathe from his position; that fleeting thought was quickly replaced by the coil in your stomach burning red hot and snapping instantly as Kenjaku moves his lips back up to suck on your clit. You lock your ankles together behind his back as your body shakes and jolts on the couch, and you feel odd vibrations as Kenjaku’s groans deeply when inhaling your sweet cream. Leaning his head back a bit to give small kitten-like licks on your trembling pussy as you ride out your orgasm. 
You pants out small burst of air, glad to have some relief, but that only lasts for a moment as Kenjaku moves one of his hands from gripping on to your thigh to gently pull up on your pussy, lifting the small hood up and showing off more of your clit. His mouth is back on you, sucking quite harshly this time. Playing with your swollen clit on his tongue, the hand on your thigh gripping dig in your soft flesh. The tension inside your belly rapidly tightens and snaps into another blinding orgasm. Your vision goes white for a bit as you scream and thrash around on the couch.
Your chest heaves up and down as you catch air back in your lungs, tears pricked at the corner of your eyes as you calm down. All the while, Kenjaku calmly holds your face in his hands, thumb wiping away at any fallen tears, his voice lulling out soft praises to you. 
“Good Puppy…”
“You did so well for me, you liked it, right?”
“I know you did, it was quite clear to see.” 
He leans down to press a kiss right above your forehead, patting your head and murmuring more things that flow directly in your head. 
“We’re not done yet, pet.” 
“We have so much more to do… you can handle it, can’t you?” 
“My big girl.. My precious puppy is so strong.. She can handle another session, can’t she?” 
His fingers tilted up your chin so you were trapped in his vision once more, his eyes darken as he asked you directly this time. 
“You won’t disappoint me, now, will you?” 
His tone shifted, and your senses immediately picked up on that fact. Your body stiffened up, and you nodded frantically. Shoulder straightening back, eyes wide, and your hands came put together on your lap. Kenjaku smiles at your instant obedience, giving you plenty of kisses on your face to show how much he enjoys this reaction from you. Hands squishing your cheeks together and shaking you a little, much like how someone would do the same to a cute dog. 
He takes a deep sigh and smiles wide, showing off some of his teeth. Were his teeth always this sharp…? He gives your cheeks one last pinch and stands up in front of you, his hands coming down to unbuckle his belt. Pulling the leather strap out of the loops with practiced ease, he holds the black accessory in his hands and looks down at you with an eerie grin on his face. You fidget a bit and twiddle with your thumbs, awaiting his next move. 
“Though it’s not exactly a collar… and it is not as pretty as I would like it to be. This would work for now.” He muses to himself as he grabs your face forward, and moves the belt around your neck. Your breath hitched in your throat as the cool metal of the buckles slid around your soft skin. He loops the belt in and gives it a test tug at the end to see how it fits on you. It was a loose fit, but it still felt constricting by the way Kenjaku had the hold on the end of the belt, pulling it up so you were forced to look up as well. 
“Come now, pet. We shall move this little therapy session elsewhere.”
He ushers you off the couch and as you were about to stand up fully, he stopped you; “Aht Aht, puppies don’t walk like humans, get on all fours like a good girl.” You completely froze up at this point; your brain slowly started to unravel from the spell Kenjaku put on you, and your face scrunched up in confusion. Kenjaku quickly realizes this and is quick to snuff out any flames that were lighting back up inside of you. He pats your head softly with a practiced smile on his face. 
 “Ah, sorry puppy. I forgot this was only your first day. No worries, we can work on that part next time. For now…” He bends down to scoop you up in his arms. “I’ll carry you as an apology, so don’t be too mad at me, alright?”
 He taps your nose with his pointer finger and rests his forehead against yours, whispering as he looks at you directly, eye to eye. His hazel eyes seem to get darker the more you stare into them; his words echo in your mind, lulling you back down to that pliant state.
“You’ll forgive me, right? I am so so sorry, after all…” 
His fangs stood out more at this angle, poking out when he smiled at you, one hand holding you up while the other caressed your face. You nuzzle right into the palm of his hand, forgetting all about what happened before, even though the belt was still looped around your neck. He placated you further by smothering your face in soft kisses. You giggled at the sensation, not realizing that he was already walking away from the living room with you in his arms. 
The bedroom door clicks behind you two as Kenjaku sets you down on your feet. Hand brushing against the belt on your neck. Placing one last kiss on your lips this time, letting the feeling linger, his hands gently hold on to your waist as he pushes his body against yours. Grinding his hard bulge right against your body, his hands lower down to cup at your naked ass, sneaking a hand in between and swiping at your still-slick folds, teasing you a little.
“Oh, puppy, do you feel that? Feel how hard I am for you, right now.” He grunts lowly in your ear, pressing his body onto you once more. 
“Can you help me with that, pet? You’ll be such a good puppy for me if you do…and I know how much you want to be good for me..”
He was right, he was unusually right about you most of the time, you did want to be good for him, to earn more of his sweet praise. So when he placed a hand on your shoulder and lowered you to your knees, you obeyed. 
Kneeling down in front of Kenjaku, his pants easily taken off with his belt already gone. Your mind buzzes with odd excitement upon seeing him put out his leaking and throbbing cock, like you were made for this moment. To always be kneeling in front of this man, to serve him like a dutiful servant, an obedient puppy. Kenjaku tugs upward on the end of the belt collar, cupping your chin in your hand as he angles your face towards his cock. 
“You know what to do, right, pup?”
You did; your body knew exactly what to do and how to please him, your tongue lolled out as your mouth opened up. Kenjaku keeps a hand on the belt but lets go of your chin as he slides his cock into your awaiting mouth. Letting out a low hiss at the feeling of your warm mouth greeting him, your cheeks automatically suck in as his length starts to slowly rub against the back of your mouth. You taste his precum that was leaking out—slightly salty but not overpowering. He fucks your mouth softly and sweetly, getting you accustomed to the feeling at first. His hand gently pulls on the belt around your neck, pushing and pulling you forward and backward on his cock.  
A gentle rhythm, gradually letting your mouth and throat get used to the shape of Kenjaku’s cock. After a while, his cock starts hitting deeper parts of your throat, and you gag a little when it goes a little too far. Kenjaku soothes you by petting your hair and tucking your hair behind your ear as he guides you this time. A hand weaves in your hair now, grabbing onto your locks as he slides his cock back deeper in, nail-scraping the back of your head as he shows you how to put all of him inside your mouth. Your nose is buried in the tuft of hair at the base of his thick cock. 
 “Look up at me, puppy.” You barely realized now that your eyes were closed this entire time. Blinking away some tears, you look up at Kenjaku. Only to find your reflection in the camera lens of his phone, staring right back down at you. He tugs your hair back a bit, cooing at your expression. 
He slides his cock out, and drool comes out with it—a sticky string of saliva connected from the bulbous head to the tip of your tongue. Dripping down to your chin as Kenjaku slaps the tip of his cock on your tongue, “Come on now, pup… stick your tongue out for me.” He uses his free hand to push away any strands of hair in the way.
“Good girl, fuck…. Look at you, so naughty, hmm?”
He takes a few pictures of your tongue out with his cock sliding in and out of your mouth, some with his cock pushed all the way inside your cheek, making it bulge out the side, and his other hand on your head, petting you anytime you start to get angsty. Giving you praise and soothing your worries away with his baritone and smooth voice. Pushing your mind deeper and deeper into the abyss, reinforcing how much of a good puppy you are for him and how much you wanted to please him too.
“Let's see if we can make a good video, shall we?”
He takes out his cock again, all covered in your spit. Preparing his phone in the right position as he hits the record button this time. “Alright now, puppy… Let’s show the camera your pretty face.” He pats your cheek and plants a thumb inside your mouth, lolling your tongue out along with it. He lets out a content sigh, looking at your almost fucked-out expression, his cock twitches at the sight as well. 
“I want you to speak now, puppy. Speak for me, tell me just how much you love this cock that’s right in front of you.” 
He removes his thumb from your tongue and grabs his cock, shaking it in front of you mockingly, like it was a special treat. You gulp down to clear your throat of leftover cum and saliva, your eyes glance from the length in front up to the phone in Kenjaku’s hand.
“Say; ‘Please Master… give me your cock, I need you so badly’ just like a good girl would.”
‘Master..? Was Kenjaku your master now? Master… Master… Master Kenjaku? Somehow the words roll off just right when you echo it back in your mind. 
You kept looking up, the phone directly in your line of vision, when you were really just trying to look at Kenjaku’s face. Your voice came out more soft-spoken than before.
"Please, Master Kenjaku, please reward me with your cock for being a good girl.” Your hands clutch on to the ends of his shirt as you keep on pitifully begging for a treat from your master. 
Kenjaku’s face slips, and he lets out a feral grin at your words, “Going off script? Hah….. I love it. Go on, keep begging me, my slutty puppy.” 
He taps his cock on your cheek and you instantly start rubbing on it, not caring about getting your face even messier by doing so. “Please, please, pleaseee! Master, I listened to you so well. I need your cock so bad. It feels so good when you touch me and let me have it. I need, need, need it!” 
You sneak in a couple of kisses and licks as you were rubbing on his cock, whining pathetically all in front of the camera. Your mind was not even comprehending the lewd and embarrassing words you were spewing out right now or the actions your body was doing, that small rational part of your brain was pushed all the way back. Locked away by Kenjaku’s voice telling you that this was the real you now, what you really craved, what you always wanted. 
To serve someone, to have someone praise you for being a good puppy, a naughty slut… 
It feels good to have Kenjaku pet your hair as he slips his cock back into your awaiting mouth, shoving it all the way in this time. Making you choke on the sheer girth of it at first before the length of it hits you in the back of your throat. Your cheeks were already feeling a little sore from how hard he was pushing, and you gagged a little when he tried to put your head down even more. He pulls your hair back away from his cock. You choke out a little bit of spit, coughing and sputtering. 
Kenjaku wipes away the spit from your chin as he looks back down at you, sighing disappointingly, “I suppose you just aren’t ready for my cock yet.” He shakes his head, but he still keeps his phone lens on your face. “Guess we just have to move on…” He moves his other hand away from your head, and your stomach drops. You clutch on to his shirt, shouting out, “Wait!” Kenjaku hides his reaction from seeing your outburst, maintaining a neutral face.
“Yes? What is it puppy?”
You whimpered and tugged at his shirt; your lips quivered as you began to beg once more. “I-I can do it! I can take it all, please let me try again!” 
Kenjaku’s lips twitch at your display, placing his hand back on your head, weaving his fingers in your locks, and tugging it back. “You sure, puppy? Are you sure you want this?” You nod your head instantly. "Speak, puppy, tell me that you want it again.” 
“I want your cock, please! I can be good this time! I-I won’t choke, I promise!” You were desperate to please Kenjaku, who just shook his head at you, tucking a piece of hair behind your ear and lovingly squeezing your cheeks together so your lips puckered in an ‘O’ shape. “It’s alright, my sweet girl. Choking and gagging are part of the process; I’ll just go slower this time. Let you get used to the shape of my cock, hmm?”
He pokes the head of his cock back on your puckered lips, squeezing your cheeks together one last time and placing his hand back behind your head as he pushes you down once again. Your jaw is still sore, but it helps, as you were getting numb to the feeling. You flatten down your tongue as his cock slides over. This time, Kenjaku holds your head in place, rolling his hips forward as he face-fucks you sluggishly, drool accumulating in your cheeks with each slow thrust. The lewd noises it was making were loud enough for the phone to capture. Kenjaku lets you choke on about half of his length for a while before trying to force it all the way in. 
“Now close your eyes and breathe in through your nose for me…good girl…”
You did as he commanded, still gagging when he shoves your face all the way down to the base of his cock, his pubes tickling your nose, and just before you start choking on it for real, he pulls you back. Letting you breathe for air, taking a small break before he pokes his cock head back against your lips, and you open up for it once more. Going back all the way down, staying there for a bit longer this time, and then he lets you go. Repeating this process over and over again, his cock sliding in and out of your pretty mouth.
Repeatedly hitting the back of your throat with each thrust, he had you stay down there for longer and longer until he was fully face-fucking you now. Kenjaku was letting his walls down a bit at this point as well, letting out deep groans and moans, cursing under his breath once he started to feel his balls tighten up. 
“Fuck… that’s it, puppy. Take it, take my fucking cock like the good cock-slut you are.” 
The hand holding the phone shakes a bit as he shoves his cock deep down your throat, way past your gagging point, but at this point, it doesn’t matter anymore. Not when his cock is practically about to burst, and you shouldn’t care about anything else but servicing his cock. You should be happy that Kenjaku was so willing to give you all his creamy cum directly down your gullet. With his hand gripping your hair tightly and one last groan, Kenjaku spills his cum in your slutty mouth, forcing you to drink as much of it as possible from the position you were in. 
He slid his cock out of your mouth, your messy face covered in drool and cum. The recording light on the phone went off, and Kenjaku pocketed his phone with a happy sigh. Tugging upward on your leash as he brings you back to your feet, only then did you realize how much your knees were hurting from kneeling down for so long. 
He wipes away the sticky mess on your cheeks with swipes of his fingers, praising you in a tender tone as you lean into his embrace. One arm around your waist to keep you from falling over as he finished gathering up any remaining cream.
“Say ‘Ah’, my sweet puppy.”
He smears the sticky mess on your tongue, making sure you clean up every single last bit of it from his fingers. Cooing at your obedience, once he was satisfied with your work, he rewarded you with a long and loving kiss on the lips. Tasting himself on your sweet tongue, you fully accepted it, arms thrown around his shoulders, letting your body sink into his. He chuckles at your actions, grabbing you by the waist, easily lifting you off the ground, and spinning you around. His lips never leave yours as he plops you down on the bed with him on top. 
He tugs on your leash and pulls away, looking down at you, the back of his hand caressing your cheek in a fond manner. 
“You know… It would be quite ironic if I were to fuck you in doggy style while you’re in this state...” He whispers, not talking to you, just voicing his thoughts out loud as you snuggle against his hand. Your eyes just glazed over at his words, barely listening, as you could tell this wasn't a command. His hand lowers down to grasp at your neck, barely applying enough pressure to his fingertips, so you know he has it there. 
“I think, though, since it's our first night together, one of many… I’d rather fuck you while you could look at me and remember this moment forever.” He rips open his shirt’s buttons, leaving you with a full view of his toned abs. His other hand wanders down as he positions himself in between your legs. His thighs pushing yours apart, giving him access to your still wet pussy. He snaps his fingers in front of your face and gets your attention. 
“Puppy, I want you to do something for me now. If you want your Master’s cock to fuck you..." He emphasized the word “Cock” and slapped his hard length right on your pretty clit. Making jolt up and yelp a little at the contact. “I want you to take your cute little hands and spread open your pussy for me. Can you do that for me, puppy?” He rubs the tip of his length into small circles on your clit, making you mewl and buck your hips for more friction, but he holds your hips down with his hands and makes a disapproving noise.
It quickly stops your movement, and you whimper out an apologetic noise, your hands slowly coming down your body to not accidentally anger your master once again. Stopping right on either side of your pussy. Kenjaku nods at this, “Good… Good… Now, take your thumbs and spread it out for me and watch. Watch as I fuck you and take you as mine.” Your hands shake a bit as Kenjaku starts to slide his veiny cock down from on top of your clit, sliding right down the middle of your pussy, making you feel his throbbing veins as he pokes the thick head at your entrance. Your thumbs stretch out to the edges of your drooling cunt, doing as your Master commanded and spreading it out for him.
Kenjaku rolls his hips forward, his fat cock slipping past your entrance with each roll of his hips, rutting against your clit. Making you even more riled up than before, whining for him to fuck you already. His hands dig into the plush flesh of your waist to stop you from squirming at the sensation. Only when you felt like actually using words to beg him to do something else did he stop and fully slammed his length all the way. 
You yelped and cried out at the sudden intrusion, scrambling backwards to get away from the abrupt burst of pain, only to be pulled right back in by your hips. Kenjaku’s fingers digging into the soft flesh of your ass. Smacking you on his cock, your slick and drool cover his cock, making it quite easy for him to keep ramming into you. The squelching noises got louder and louder with each harsh slap against your hips. You squeezed your eyes shut, trying to focus on anything but the pain and solely on the pleasure, but your head and body kept bouncing off the bed, making you a bit dizzy. 
Your hands search around for something to grab hold of, to steady yourself on, but even trying to clutch on the bed sheet proved futile with how hard Kenjaku was fucking you. Your legs forcefully spread around his waist, his hands cupping your ass up in the air as he rutted inside you, bucking his cock up at the same time he was holding you down. Just nonstop bouncing on his length, your poor pussy had no choice but to stretch and fit to his size. Still,  it felt like with each roll of his hips, he was reaching deeper and deeper inside your cervix.
Finally, Kenjaku seemed to take notice of your dilemma, or he just noticed how you were keeping your eyes closed and biting your lips. He let go of your ass and grabbed your wrists with one hand. Slamming them down beside your head, he kept up his rhythm, abusing your tight, needy cunt as he leaned down to face you. 
His minty breath washes over you, his lips ghosting and his tongue softly licking at your chin and cheek. Wiping away your fallen tears, “Puppy.. Puppy… Open your eyes, I want you to look at me when I fucking claim you. When I mark this pussy as mine, do you understand? I want you to be present for every single moment your Master’s cock slides into your desperate cunt.” 
He interlaced your fingers together with his tongue, lapping up the small dribble of blood leaking from the wound on your bottom lips. You were biting so hard that you didn’t even notice your wound until now. Kenjaku sucks on your bottom lips when you don’t answer fast enough for his liking, running his warm tongue over and over again on your bleeding gash. Your eyes blink away some tears before fully opening to find Kenjaku staring at you. His eyes open half-lidded, but his attention is fully focused on your cute face, your expressions, and the lost and hazy swirl of confusion in your eyes.
“Is my puppy ready to be taken? Are you gonna be my good girl and let me mark your insides?” He bit down on your lips and pulled back, making the gash even bigger, with more blood dribbling out. You whine and start to close your eyes again, but Kenjaku removes one of his hands to grab at your throat. Squeezing it enough to cause you to choke on a moan as he starts to move his hips again. Dragging his length up and down inside your walls, his hand squeezing harder each time he reaches your cervix. 
“Eyes open, puppy.”
His voice drops an octave deeper, forcing your head to tilt back, a whimper stuck in your throat. You had to obey; this was a real command, one that promised severe punishment if you did not follow. You open up your eyes as best as you can when tears are still pouring out of them, and you manage at best to force a grimace on your face. Still, seeing you try and listen to his order made Kenjaku happier, with his hand leaving your neck, roaming down your plush body, and hiking up your knees to your chest. 
Throwing your legs over his shoulders as he fully presses his weight on you, one hand pressing down lightly on the bulge in your stomach. At this angle, he was hitting your cervix even deeper than before. His thumb extended down to play with your clit as he kept pushing down on your stomach. Thrusting in and out of your wet and sensitive cunt, he lets loose freely, grunting and moaning at the feeling of your pussy sucking him in. 
Your puffy clit suffered so much abuse that, with the addition of his thumb rubbing tight little circles on it, it made you clench down tight on his hard cock. Your eyes started to roll backwards as Kenjaku sped up his pace. Your body bouncing up and down on the mattress, your tits jiggling with each pounding you take.
“That’s it, puppy. My dumb fucking puppy, don’t think anymore…fuck… don’t think, just let Master’s cock do all the work for you.” 
“You’re gonna let Master breed this tight little pussy, won’t you? Oh-hahh, I’d bet you look good with my seed spilling out of you.” 
He used his free hand to shake your head up and down, forcing you to nod. Drool seeped out the side of your open mouth, coating his fingers, but he didn’t care. 
You felt your stomach get tighter and tighter as his thumb kept on rubbing away at your clit, his cock slamming into your cervix, and your legs dangling uselessly over his shoulders. Your body just being used as a fucktoy for your master now, and you love it. 
You tried to mumble out something to let your master know you were close, but it all just came out in jumbles, whines, and whimpers. Luckily, your master knows exactly what you were trying to say, and he could feel your cunt start to clench more and more around him. 
“Yeah, puppy? Hmm? You want to cum? You want me to cum in you?” You rely with a long whine at Kenjaku’s mocking tone. 
“Yeah? Does my sweet dumb puppy want her master to cum inside her?” His hand shakes your head up and down again, whimpers, and drool coats your lips. Remembering his previous command, you struggled but managed to open your eyes back up, and that was the tipping point for Kenjaku. Seeing the fucked-out and dazed look on your pretty face made his ball tighten up and his cock twitch heavily inside you. He made sure to bury his cock deep inside your womb first before giving you the sweet treat you've been craving.
Spilling all his sticky seed inside of you, his thumb and forefinger pinched at your clit. Pushing over that edge once more, your cunt and legs are both spasming around him. With a high-pitched whine along with Kenjaku’s guttural groan, you both finished, your scent and juices mixing in with each other, becoming one. Kenjaku’s hands slither up to your face as he leans down to plant a gentle smooch on both your cheeks, letting your eyes close down softly. 
“You’re mine now… sweet puppy…”
His words echo in your ears as the last of your energy is spent barely holding on. He sets your legs down and shuffles down next to you, petting your hair and resting your head on his chest, still whispering near your ear.
“Don’t worry though, I’ll keep you around, but I won’t break you… too hard.. I know how much Yuuji and Choso like you, heh.” 
“Next time, I’ll introduce you to them as the new..family..pet ♡”

PAIRINGS: various!characters (MTP) x gn!reader. GENRE: fluff, slight crack.
PROMPT: ‘the floor is lava!’ WARNINGS: possible spoilers if you squint, headcanon format, unedited, lowercase intended.
#. SYNOPSIS: how would they react during a small game of ‘the floor is lava’?
Tumblr media
even an illegal criminal organization that practically rules the underworld of london should be able to have fun every now and then, so it’s no wonder someone yells, “THE FLOOR IS LAVA!” any time they have the chance. each individuals reaction vary in many amusing ways — and your poor self ‘coincidentally’ gets dragged in every single time.
ever the slacker, MORAN is always the first to sprint to the nearest table or chair; depending on how hurried he is, he will either grab you and sling you over his shoulder, or pick you up bridal style, there’s no in between. nevertheless, 9/10 you end up in his arms as he tries to get off the floor, because there’s no way he’d leave his babe in lava. (it’s you, you’re the babe).
has an almost unfair advantage over most members due to his agility, FRED utterly dominates this game field — he has never lost the game and certainly doesn’t want you to either. so he grabs your hand and makes a run for it, if you can’t catch up, that’s fine because this guy has more strength in his body that he looks. he isn’t afraid to hoist you up and jump at the same time, of course he always places you on the furniture first, a real sweetheart.
though he doesn’t participate often, considering half the time he has a tea tray in one hand and a platter in the other, LOUIS let’s himself get clambered on as you search for refuge. he can and will balance the dishes whilst letting you jump on him, he refuses to have you stand in lava — this man is the standard, and an absolute gentleman.
another one that has you clinging on to him. WILLIAM is usually situated in his comfortable armchair, sipping on some warm tea when watching the amusing spectacle of the others scrambling across the room in search of furniture. he does not hesitate to let you clamber onto his lap, though his grip on your waist tightens so you don’t slip off.
being the dignified noble he his, ALBERT doesn’t join, instead, he spectates the chaotic scene like a play. but he wouldn’t deny you if you tugged on his arm, not giving him a chance to reply before pulling him on top a table, ‘saving him from the lava.’ he finds it mirthful, his arms will be loosely wrapped around your hips, holding you as you threw things at any remaining survivors.
his unpredictability is terrifying, especially if you’re his lover. unsurprisingly, he’s probably the one that called it out. you can never know whether JAMES will trip you up on his way to victory, or if he’ll pull you along with him. and if you do end up together, he keeps a hand on you, just in case you fall away, ‘a victory without you isn’t a win at all’ are his exact words. he invites you to hit people off their posts (moran), until he randomly shoves you off, as stated, he’s very unpredictable.
despite not having the ability of sight, he’s still very aware of his surroundings, and due to this, his other senses are enhanced. HERDER knows the entire room layout, he also has you to guide him, even though he doesn’t necessarily need it. sometimes, he pretends to be unable to navigate just so you hold his hand, a small smirk on his lips whilst you pull him close to you as you huddle together on one tiny stool. (you definitely notice it, he’s not as slick as he thinks).
MONEYPENNY is your free ticket from the lava, she’s not albert’s secretary for nothing, her position in MI6 is complimented by her physical prowess. as her partner, your safety is guaranteed, even though she herself doesn’t play much, she’ll definitely help you get to safety. although she stays composed, she’s mentally repeating to herself to help you out of the lava. the bae of baes.
Tumblr media
THE DETECTIVES:
most of the cases he gets other than from the lord of crime bore him, so it’s no wonder SHERLOCK attempts to satiate his boredom by playing this game. of course he’s already lying on the couch, a twinkle of amusement in his eyes as everyone’s yelling at him to move. the only person he’ll move for is you, he would watch you look around panicking then make a move, becoming you to him and pulls you against his chest.
she’s fiercely competitive in this game, the truth is, MISS HUDSON will help you from the lava as well. whilst waving her pan around, she easily climbs onto the table, taking you with her. she lets you throw the frying pan at sherlock, has a proud look on her face when you do.
this guy low key struggles because he’s too nice to shove someone off, but that’s alright because JOHN has you to do do it for him. with a small ‘sorry’ as you shove people into the lava, he’ll take part in sabotaging others if you ask him to though.
Tumblr media
A/N: hey lovelies, it’s been a while, i kinda lost passion for writing, so i took a hiatus and this was originally just a side piece. probably still won’t be back on a daily basis, but i hope you enjoy this. have a good day/night. 🫶

"You're lucky you're cute" ouo
Sooo this... became a bit more than a drabble in the end I must admit. By the time I reached the prompt Moon had already managed to derail the scene in my mind- turning it into something more akin to a half-chapter of Astral Bodies (in fact this will most certainly be worked into a chapter further down the line). This whole thing was super inspiring, so thanks Celtic :) With all this in mind, minor spoilers ahead for Astral Bodies. TW for a little bit of PDA. The song playing in the aerial scene is After Dark by Mr. Kitty. Preview~
Tumblr media
Fic under the cut~
"You're lucky you're cute" Moon/Reader Words: 3648
You wipe your eyes with the back of your hand, the remains of glitter transferring in a sweaty iridescent smear that shimmers up your forearm. It doesn’t matter how much makeup remover you use; you could rub your face ‘til it was raw and you would still find glitter on your pillow, in your shower, in the bottom of your dance bag…
You stretch and sigh, it has been a long-ass day. The last of the parade performers and maintenance staff have already left Character 2, making their way back home to the residences.
But you…
Well, it is 00:48am and you are nothing if not a glutton for punishment. You are buzzed. You know if you go back to your room there is no way you will be sleeping. Not a chance. Nope.
You had told Sunny that you would head home… but you had never specified that you’d head home right away. Granted he had given you a look, one of the ones he usually saved for moments of exasperation, exceptionally naughty children or consecutive lunches with low nutritional value. You chose to take that for what it was: his tacit understanding of your intentions.
Both he and his brother were aware of your late-night excursions to the dance studio (that was, after all, how you had first met Moon), and while Sun had never been explicit in his disapproval, Moon had made sure you were exactly aware of his feelings on the matter.
If it was past midnight, it was past your bed-time.
You tighten your grip on your bag as you trot deeper in to the bowels of the parade department. No one will be in any of the studios at this time of night, so you will have your pick of the lot. You make a beeline towards P4-PC2-029, a skip in your step.
You really want to try something new.
As you get further down into the hallways at the bottom of Character 2, the lights take on a fluorescent quality, flooding the walls with tinny yellow light.
There is a scratching noise in the vent above you.
Tap-tap-tap
Your eyes narrow.
Flagrantly ignoring the little noise from the vent (hello Moon) you pick up a jog the rest of the way to the dance studio, dumping your gear on the crash mats before unzipping your hoodie and adding that to the growing pile on the floor.
Hands now free, you can pillage the storage cupboard for some apparatus and your fingers twitch in anticipation. The room is cavernous, with all manner of rigs prepared for any kind of circus stunt a person could deign to dream up; practically nirvana for someone like you.
With a bounce, you trot over to the storage cupboard. The double doors are big and blue and as you open one you make sure push it firmly against the wall, wedging a little slip of paper under the rim to stop it closing on you. The closet has a sensor which automatically turns the lights off when the doors are shut- something that has caught you out many times in the past… and given how late it was you didn’t really want to risk encountering a pissed-off Moon.
You had told Sunny you’d be heading to bed, after all. Yet here you were. At the dance studio at 1am doing stunt work. Probably the exact opposite of in bed.
You pull the cord and the strip-lights flicker to life above you, kicking online with a metallic hrumm. The laminate creaks beneath your feet as you turn. Your eyes rove the stacks of parade equipment, bouncing from shelf to shelf to where you know the aerial acrobatics apparatus is buried at the back. Rolling your shoulders you slink between the bars and boxes and shelves to dislodge the object of your desire: a lyra hoop cut into the shape of a crescent moon. It’s a gaudy, silvery thing, but there is clear method to the swirling metal patterns that decorate its rim; subtle hand-holds and foot-holds and moments of leverage for the discerning acrobat to take advantage of.
You lick your lips.
You love trying new equipment, and you have been making your way through the long list of exotic aerial apparatus that you’ve discovered in this alcove. To you, this place is a treasure trove.
You are forced to duck and bend in order to unwedge the crescent lyra from its place at the back of the shelf. Maneuvering your body to dodge the sharp edges of a pile of stilts you suck in your diaphragm and lean your weight back on your heels, the crescent hoop shifting forward more comfortably into your palms-
Behind you, there is a soft click as the double doors of the closet seal shut.
You curse and the lights slam off automatically.
Almost doubled over underneath the shelving unit you wriggle backwards with a groan. Your hands are wrapped firmly around your quarry as you scramble through the darkness- you refuse to let this whole ordeal be for nothing. Unseen apparatus clatters around you as you reverse back through the trove. Your breath puffs from your nostrils.
With one final tug you drag the ornate lyra out into the narrow cupboard corridor. Your balance slips a little but you right yourself, stumbling as your back meets something hard-
Four cold metal claws grip you by the scruff. There is a pause, a silence only broken by the heavy pounding of your heartbeat- exertion, fear, adrenaline-
“You’re lucky you’re cute.”
The words are a guttural growl. He is directly behind you, the static of his voice-box grazing your neck like a kiss.
You swing around to face him, refusing to cringe away. You know that your face is glowing in his infrared vision.
“Moon-” your mouth goes dry.
“-Starliiight,” he sings back at you, and you can hear the grin that rolls across the surface of his static. You swallow.
“Just let me explain-“
“E x p l a i n what? How you liiiied to Sunny again? Or maybe why you think the ruuuules don’t apply to you?” His faceplate spins once, slowly, before slotting back into place with a click. “Go on. I’m waiting.”
“We’ve been through this before Moon- I need to burn off the energy or I can’t sleep I-“
“No castmember should attempt to rig or use a new set of equipment for the first time without at least one other qualified member of staff present.” His eyes narrow, voice flat as he parrots health and safety jargon from the handbook. “Wouldn’t want you to get in to an accident all alooooone down here would we, rulebreaker?”
“I don’t know Moon, would you?” The question hangs for a second and you level your gaze at him, doing your best not to squirm as he towers over you. You let out a breath. “Those are just guidelines anyway, not rules.”
He doesn’t respond, eyes dropping to your arm where he dances his fingers over the flesh of your biceps. You don’t even know whether he’s listening or just ignoring you. Your mouth twists and you can feel the pitch of your voice rising breathily as you clamor to defend yourself-
“I’m not some green college gymnast Moon, this is my livelihood. I know what I’m doing.” Your face screws up a little and you grind out. “Plus. I’m not here on my own am I? You’re here.”
His gaze snaps up to meet yours and his grin seems to stretch.
“Why little Starling,” he coos “if you wanted to give me a private show, all you needed to do was a s k .”
You bite back a retort before recoiling in horror as his eyes drift down to the lyra in your hands. The crescent moon lyra.
“Ohhhh?” You didn’t know it was possible for a robot to sound so viscerally delighted, but here we are. You can hear the fans kick in behind his chassis and something in his chest rumbles in a way that can only described as a purr. “And what is t h i s ?”
You fumble the hoop lamely in your hands.
“You know what it is Moon, stop being a-“
You are cut off as the jester snatches the hoop from you with one hand, the other reaching to scoop you against his front like an infant. Your vision becomes a blur of red and black as he clambers back through the cupboard and out into the dance studio whilst you cling to him for dear life.
“Moon!” You grunt as he deposits you in a neat heap next to your discarded hoodie and duffel bag. “What are you doing?”
Moon doesn’t answer you- skittering away with your lyra hoop to one of the metal wall mounts that dominate the left hand side of the room.
The lights of the dance studio are dim- much dimmer than you left them before your trip to the cupboard and you wonder briefly when and how Moon managed to adjust them without you noticing. But thoughts like that are as futile as the answer is simple: Moon is a sneaky little shit.
“Moon?” You repeat, voice a little more subdued this time. His faceplate swivels backwards to grin at you. “What are you doing?”
“Spotting you.”
“Spotting me-“
Your voice jutters to life from behind his faceplate: “Plus. I’m not here on my own am I? You’re here.” The recording is crisp and uncanny and you swallow a grimace- (is that really what you sound like? Ugh).
“I thought you wanted me to go to bed?” You frown at him- not to look a gift jester in the mouth but this was awfully suspicious.
“Changed my mind.” He says flatly, shrugging as he unreels the rope to attach it to the swivel and carabiners.
“…Okay.” You lick your lips, kicking off your shoes to stretch the arches of your feet.
Moon pays your response no mind, fully engrossed in the mechanism in-front of him. You watch in fascination as he meticulously checks each element of the double pulley system, this way and that, before dismantling the carabiners to re-attach the whole hoop to a paw-plate. You observe as he runs his tests again- checking the safety of the rig with all the concentration of a consummate professional. With a final tug of the hoop he releases it into the air.
“All clear, inspector?” You jab from your place on the crash mat.
His faceplate spins with a high-whine before slowing as he tuts at you sardonically. “Safety first.”
You scoff. “You didn’t seem so concerned about my safety when you tried to throw me off the top of the parade like we were in the fucking lion king-”
“Language.” He interrupts you, voice loud and slow as if talking to a child. “If you fell, Sunny would be saaaad.”
“But not you, huh Moon?” You smile wryly. “You know, if I die then no-one will be around to bring you the next volume of Berserk, just saying.”
His eyes narrow. “I have the internet.”
“I’m sorry.” You say solemnly- and then, after a beat: “…But you know pirating is against the law right?”
He makes a high little sound- somewhere between an choke and a snort, but you keep going.
“And wouldn’t that make you-”
“Starlight.”
“-Some kind of-”
“Don’t you daaare.”
“-I don’t know-”
“B r a t .”
“-Rulebreaker?”
You finish with a smug smile and his faceplate spins three times in quick succession.
“I will drop you.” He snarls and you pout at him wanly.
“But Sunny would be saaad remember?”
“Sunny can go ȇ̵͇̗a̴̢̙̝͐̀̽̇t̶̬͚̣̂̂̎̚ ̴̛̳̍͊̽͂͑͂͊͗̕̕͝͝a̶̠̪̥̥̲̬̥̱͔̥̼̿̔̿̑̾̌͂̔̇͋͆͂̓͝Ḏ̷̡̪̤̻͍̮̱̱̞̟̯̬͕̺͔̦̩͈̻̙̣̔̔̉͐̓͑͒́̓̆̈́̕Ï̷̢̙̳̼͉̩͙̞͇̥̆͒͑̑͐̈́͒̌͒̀̌̏̐́̈̃̀̌͐͐̋̋́̓͌̚͘͘͝C̷̡̭̹̯̪̲̜̞̙͕͔̩̳̫̗̘͈̰͙̫̭̈Ķ̸̛̰̥͈͇͎̣̹̯̱̀̆̍̂̊̀̀͠"
A laugh rips out of you then and you flash him a grin. The one he returns you is positively feral.
“Sorry Moon,” you lick your lips “I guess you’ll just have to keep me in the land of the living until you find another way to get your manga.”
“Blackmail. Extooortion.” He whines flatly.
“Yeah, yeah. Here-“ you laugh and throw him your phone, “seeing as you’re being so cooperative I’ll even let you choose the music.”
He catches it with something of a surprised, almost blank expression. After a second he looks down- dark gaze wincing against the glare of the little screen- he lifts his faceplate up to stare at you.
“Password?” He says blandly.
“Gimme a break Moon I know you’ve had that thing cracked for weeks.”
He doesn’t even have the decency to look abashed at being caught out. Shrugging, he returns his gaze to the little phone, the silicone padding of his long fingers strangely silent as he taps and tinkers with the screen. You turn away to face the crescent Lyra, rolling your shoulders into a long stretch that you chase down your legs to your toes. You jump lightly on the spot, foot to foot and shake out your hands. Your blood is pumping.
Somewhere behind you you hear the speakers buzz to life, and you brace yourself for whatever god-awful media Moon is about to inflict on you. You knew what you were signing up for when you gave him control over your spotify. Come on dude, lets hear the damage.
You are momentarily taken aback as the sound of soft synthwave floods the hall. There is a traitorous flutter twinge in your chest. You ignore it.
Moon was probably just having a joke at your expense. Probably.
Your mouth twitches and you stride forward to grip the lyra, pivoting yourself and the hoop on tips of your toes- your back falling into an elegant arch. You work the crescent into a spin as you mount, tilting your head back at Moon to mouth the word ‘up’. You feel the rope begin to rise.
I see you, you see me How pleasant, this feeling-
As the vocals of the song kick in you lean back into the curve of the crescent- feet splayed to rest against the sharp points of the curve, one arm dangling to brush the air below the hoop. The Man in the Moon - A basic move but your lip curls in private amusement as you recline against the lyra.
The moment, you hold me I missed you, I’m sorry-
You drop a leg down, body loose and heavy as you hold the hoop in a Cradle before collapsing into an Open Delilah- one arm and leg hooked around the bottom of the crescent as the rest of you dangles, arching towards the floor. You sweep your free hand under the calf of your free leg and stretch into a split as you hang, your whole body singing from the strain.
I’ve given, what I have I showed you, I’m growing-
You’ve lost track of Moon and your eyes search out his face as you twirl. There- a pale shadow against the wall, his red gaze thin and dark. You lift yourself out of the splits into a Candlestick- body taught and straight and almost vertical towards the floor as you straddle the crescent with crossed thighs.
The ashes, fall slowly As your voice, consoles me
Taking a breath to steady yourself you unfold a single leg down behind your head to splay your body into dramatic a Candlestick split. You sigh with satisfaction as you hang. Eyes slipping closed. Below you, the chorus crashes through the empty room with an echo.
As the hours pass, I will let you know That I need to ask, before I’m alone How it feels to rest, on your patient lips To eternal bliss, I’m so glad to know-
From the shadows by the wall he watches you. The lights of his eyes smear a trail as you spin, streaming red lines that trace through the air like the back-lights of a car in a storm. Something beautiful, in its own way.
You wind yourself out of the pose, arms tensing to lift yourself back into the embrace of the crescent lyra; your legs an artful languid twist of flesh and metal. You fold your self into a beauty roll, the world spinning around you as you twist inside the crescent, body rolling like a wave that crests from pose to split to pose to hang- this is what you were best at- the fluidity- the dizzying loops that left the watcher wondering where your gravity ended and the lyra began. Spins within spins. Loops within loops. Mermaid. Roll. Gazelle. Split. Roll. Amazon. Roll. High Angel. Roll-
We’re swaying to drum beats In motion, I’m feeling My patience, controlling The question I won’t speak-
You grin into the darkness as your body contorts around the crescent to put all your weight on the top of the lyra. There you hold yourself, your body perfectly vertical, blood rushing gloriously to your face as your breathing slows, deep and heavy.
We’re leaving, we’re talking You’re closer, it’s calming-
As you hang upside down you dare a glance beneath you to where Moon stands beside the crash mat- except he’s so much closer now. Close and silent and still in that way that only an animatronic can be. You flutter yourself into a single leg Scarab as you force the hoop away from your body at a dramatic angle, your gaze never leaving his face.
It’s then that you notice his eyes. The sclera of his visors are that familiar vantablack, only… his pupils are blue. Little lavender blue rings that shiver as they follow you. Locked on you.
You almost fall, your grip on the hoop slipping ever so slightly. You were so used to the red on black and black on red that cycled with his moods that it was jarring to see something so different. His gaze catches yours like a gravity well, and just like that you are caught in the orbit of his eyes. Your heart burns beneath your ribs.
To eternal bliss, I’m so glad to know-
You stay like that, eyes locked together in a trap- seconds pass with only the quivering pain in your muscles to mark the time. Eventually your mortal body is forced to move.
Deftly you uncoil your body until your legs are back beneath you. You finally tear your eyes from Moon as you turn to lay belly down across the crescent, relaxing into a reverse Mermaid that lets you put most of the weight on your hips, rather than your aching arms. The lyra spins languidly, it’s momentum slowing. You close your eyes.
The night will hold us close, and the stars will guide us home-
When you open them, Moon is in-front you. At this height his face is level with yours and he reaches a long arm out to steady the lyra to a stop.
“What are you doing?” You ask.
He tilts his faceplate to one side.
“Spotting you.” His voice is low and you shudder as his fingers ghost along the arch of your back.
I’ve been waiting for this moment, we’re finally alone-
“I’m not done yet.” The words tumble from your mouth like wadded cotton balls; soft, insubstantial. He watches you with lavender eye-lights.
“You’re fatigued.” He says simply- smile parting, affectionate.
You shift your grip on the Lyra.
I turn to ask the question, so anxious, my thoughts-
“Your eyes-” you whisper but the moment the words touch your lips, the pinpricks of his pupils flicker a familiar, violent red. You swallow.
“S t a r l i g h t .” He unfolds a palm around your cheek, tucking your hair behind your ear with one lingering finger. Your hands start to shake. “Time to rest. Time to sleep.”
Your lips were soft like winter, in your passion, I was lost-
You lean into the cold metal of his wrist, just a little- but he withdraws. Your heart drops instantly at the rejection before stuttering as he hooks both hands around your waist- and in one fluid motion pulls you down from the lyra and into his arms.
He holds you there, flush against his chest and you slowly wrap your arms around his neck, your feet hanging in the air.
“Moon- what?” You stutter, face craning up to meet his eyes.
“…Jealous.” He says, eyes sliding back behind you to the glittering crescent moon lyra
“I’m… sorry?” Your voice climbs in confusion and his grin widens, teeth sharp- grip tightening around the flesh of your back.
“Apology accepted.”
Your eyes narrow and you open your mouth to protest but you are stopped short- a single sharp finger pressed against your lips.
“Shh-” He whispers, eyes all black and red and lavender. “Don’t ruin it.”
“Ruin what?” You frown.
He grins. “T h i s .”
And then he kisses you.
His whole body leans into you- face tilted to press cool silicon to your burning mouth. It is a simple thing, all soft and heavy at the same time. A pure, even pressure.
You grip the fabric of his cap with unsteady hands.
“Oh.” You mouth the sound softly into the corner of his smile and he buries his faceplate into your cheek.
Soft white static catches as he says- “…I would, too.”
You furrow your brow and his fingers reach up to trace the crescents of light that his eyes cast across your face. “I would be sad if you fell. I don’t like to think about… things that could hurt you.”
A breathless sigh leaves you, and your eyes soften; a bewildered smile creeping into the corners of your mouth.
“…Does that mean no more lion king?”
The look he gives you is scathing. “I will still drop you.”
“But then you and Sunny would be sad.” You flash him your teeth and his grin stretches.
“Better be on you best behaviour then, Staaaaarlight.”
Oh dear, you were doomed.

So I finished DuckTales (2017), my thoughts:
⚠️ Spoilers ahead ⚠️
- Bradford Buzzard:
His feelings for hating adventure and chaos is valid but he should have told his grandma to fuck off and got therapy instead of trying to destroy it. Also its not his fault that Della took the Spear of Selene even if he told her about it.
You can’t have one thing without the other, there must be chaos if there is stability and vice versa.
- Webbigail Vanderquack and Bentina Beakly (Agent 22):
It was a good twist, but it makes me question where FOWL got Scrooge’s DNA to make Webby and why her exact clones (sisters) aren’t perceived as Scrooges kid like Webby is.
My theory: “The Papyrus of Binding only appears to a direct heir of Scrooge McDuck” I think it mean’s physically and emotionally. If June and May are Webby’s clones that means they are just as much Scrooge’s physical child as Webby is, except they don’t have a relationship with Scrooge. Scrooge even before knowing Webby was his kid thought of her like his Grandniece, like family, making her an heir like the boys.
For how much Beakly talked about how important and strong a family is together when getting the boys to talk to Scrooge again in Season 1, it doesn’t make much sense to have her go in alone without informing the family of what she knows of FOWL from SHUSH.
Goldie O’Gilt:
I love her so much, except in the ImpossiBin episode, there she was okay. At the end of the ImpossiBin episode Goldie calls Scooge assuming he took the fountain of youth when they agreed to keep it for both of them, (she went back to steal it for herself so she says). They made progress in the Youth Fountain episode and having Goldie call him about it being gone kinda defeats the whole purpose of their bonding in that episode. Except I understand they needed a character to tell him it was gone like the other missing mysteries but I find it defeated the whole point.
Lena and Violet Saberwing:
To me it looked like Violet’s parents adopted Lena and I’m all for that. Also love the hinted gay rep with their dads.
Magica De spell:
While it was Scrooge that blocked her spell, it was still her spell that she shot that turned her brother into a raven. Theres no reason or obligation for Scrooge to have caught him and give him to her when they were both terrible people. If anything her brother got a new chance at life as a raven instead.
I wish there was kinda a redemption arc when she was training Lena, if not for Lena a little redemption for Gladstone because I like those two.
Fenton Crackshell (GizmoDuck) and DarkWing Duck:
I like Drake with Fenton regardless if he’s Drake or playing DarkWing but I feel like he needs to accept that GizmoDuck is also a hero. Bro needs to know the difference between hero and vigilante.
Fenton is pretty bbg too <3
Launchpad McQuack:
Giant himbo and I love him so much.
Daisy Duck:
Love her, not much else to say. She had standards, that was clear when we heard what she said while driving away from their second date except she still fell in love and was willing to put up with Donald enough to go rescue him and keep going out. Overall a girl boss <3
Huey, Dewey and Louie:
While Dewey should have come forward earlier about looking for Della I understand his intentions more then Huey did when he found out. Louie was right, its not okay, but in the beginning Dewey was just trying to find if she was alive or not, not where she was. He was sorry because he ‘got caught’, he was genuinely sorry. It’s difficult to want to tell someone you’re finding all this stuff about someone you all seek when none of you know if they’re even alive or not. Dewey didn’t want them to lose hope that Della may be alive even if he found out she might not have. Yes he should have told them but I understand he didn’t want to them to be more hurt that she’s unalive instead of just missing. Also they aren’t even teenagers and communication skills are ass with teenagers what makes you think they’ll be any better as 10 year olds?
Again, their anger is misplaced when they’re mad at Scrooge for building a Spear of Selene.
Scrooge McDuck (sugar daddy?):
I like his character and I feel theres a bit of development through out the show with him and the kids, to be a teacher you need to be able to learn from your students.
While yes, he shouldn’t have built the rocket right there he also didn’t tell Della about it. Not his fault she left. Also the audacity to find out it wasn’t really his fault or the fact he nearly went bankrupt looking for her and they didn’t apologize at all.
Donald Duck (DILF):
Literally the best man in the whole show. He put his family first the whole time even when he should have taken breaks except he stepped up. We know that he had some form of falling out with Scrooge because of Della but even so he stepped up to take the kids and stayed in DuckBurg instead of moving anytime in the 10+ years they lived there. I have a feeling they stayed because he knew deep down that he could somewhat still count on Scrooge if not Beakly. Why else would he have stayed and gone to Beakly to watch the kids, granted he didn’t want to talk to Scrooge, Scrooge still took them in and watched them while Donald was off getting a job.
Donald may not be their bio-dad, but he is no way a fucking Uncle. He raised those boys by himself for 10+ years, through their formative years and until they were old enough to know he wasn’t their bio-dad. He stepped in to be a parent because Della chickened out and chose to go to space even when he told her she shouldn’t so she can be with her kids.
Donald Duck, not an uncle, a father.
Della Duck (cool-ish weird Aunt):
My opinion has not changed, she still isn’t a mother to me. Della is an estranged aunt that comes by and is the ‘cool aunt’. She willingly, without obligation, without threat, consciously CHOSE to leave her kids. Regardless of if she knew she would get killed or stuck in space, “there were too many variables” -Huey. She had a fight with Donald that specifically told her that it was a giant, dumb fucking idea with kids on the way. The idea that anyone would accept her back as a parent so blindly is so dumb. Yes she’s their egg-layer, but there is no way in hell she is their mother. A MOTHER would never choose to leave their children unless they positively fucking had too (obligation for safety). Whether or not she regrets it holds no power because she still chose to leave for a stupid reason.
Season 1 finale: “Get away from my kids” by Donald Duck will forever hold more power and significance then anytime she ever says it because she gave up parent rights before they were born. No parent would willingly, without valid cause like their safety (not fucking exploring space for funzys) would leave their child.
Over all:
Scrooge and Donald are DILFS and Della can get bent.

About (writing) Horizon
@painterofhorizons asked me to go into more detail about this post, in which I whinged about the logistical complexities I was running into while drafting Horizon for Mezzo. I proceeded to write a dissertation on the topic, so here is my Ted Talk for anyone who has some time to kill. I kept it as spoiler free as possible. :D
Not surprisingly, I’ve got a number of challenges to deal with to get this scene to have the emotional impact I want it to have, but the one I referenced in that post has mostly to do with what I refer to as setting the chess board. It’s something I do for combat scenes, or scenes where the setting plays any kind of important role in understanding where characters are in relation to one another, or when I just have too many characters in one place. Ideally, before I write the scene, I lay out in my head: what does the setting look like, and who is where?
For fight scenes, this is important so I understand what combat will look like, and so I won’t lose track of anyone during the scene. How many enemies are there? Who is taking on who? What limitations or advantages does the setting provide to influence the action? How can I use that to provide characterization or advance a character arc? Etc. In the case of Horizon, the issue isn’t the combat: it’s understanding where people start and how they get from one place to another.
Here’s the challenge: I have 3, and eventually 4 groups of people or person. Let’s call them A, B, C, and D.
A and B are in very separate locations.
C joins the fray in a 3rd location that cannot be near A or B.
A, B, and C are all aiming to reach the same location: the AA gun.
C cannot encounter A or B, which means A & B must reach the AA gun via different routes than C.  
D separates off from C, and must encounter B but not A.
C needs to arrive first, then B, then A, then D.
Simple, right? D:
So instead of the chess board dictating the flow of action, I need to set the chess board in a way to facilitate the scene as I need it to play out. This means the basic layout from the game isn’t sufficient, because it’s too linear, and provides only 1 “entrance” to the area where the AA gun are, and I need two different routes to get there.
Now, am I going to waste a lot of time painstakingly explaining to the reader the layout of Horizon? No. That’s boring, and the reader doesn’t need it. But I need to know it well enough and establish it well enough that even if the reader isn’t backchecking my logic, they trust that I have not dragged them into an MC Escher painting. I don’t want people to stop and wonder, “wait, where the fuck did B come from?” in the middle of a high stakes, high adrenaline scene.
The other logistical issue I have is a very clumsy POV handoff. I do not like putting in a scene break just to switch POVs and continue the exact same scene you were just in, but there is a crucial moment where a POV handoff has to happen as a new character arrives on scene and takes over POV duties from someone who is already present. My options are:
Do the entire scene from the first POV and don’t switch. But this would completely alter the impact of the scene and shut me out of accessing some pretty critical information that only the new POV character will have.
Do the thing I don’t like: put a scene break in the middle of the scene, end the first ‘scene’ on a dramatic moment that feels like the close of a scene before jumping back in with the new character.
Do the scene break, but back up a few minutes before the new POV character arrives on scene. This does two helpful things: creates a fresh scene and minimizes the awkward handoff, while giving me a chance to fill in some of the logistics to avoid the, “where the fuck did this person come from??” problem. Because while I know where they come from, there isn’t a good opportunity for me to communicate it to the reader otherwise. Originally this is what I planned to go with, but when I got there, I changed my mind. The problem with this is that it kills the tension and feels like a bait and switch: get the reader to the moment they have been waiting for, then pull the rug and back up a few steps. The last thing I want in this chapter is for the reader to be frustrated by the way I am telling the story.
End the chapter on the POV switch and move the Big Moment to a new chapter. I don’t love this either, because it feels like a cliffhanger for the sake of a cliffhanger – if not for the POV shift, it wouldn’t occur to me to break the chapter here. While I do love it when people yell at me for things, getting yelled at for this particular cliffhanger would feel cheap and manipulative rather than earned, if that makes any sense.   
Option 2 is best for the story, but it leaves me with this clumsy POV handoff that I still don’t like.
Now, on top of all the logistical complexities, I still have the other layers of this chapter: the sheer emotional complexity of it, which causes additional logistical issues. This is some of what I am trying to juggle:
Convey scene setting through the eyes of characters who are not paying a lick of attention to their surroundings because they are preoccupied or distressed by other events.
Telegraph Sam’s distress and anxiety through the eyes of someone who does not have enough context for it. This is further complicated by it being very likely this character would have more context than I would prefer them to have, so now I have to work with that in a way that feels right for the character and right for the story. Too often, supporting characters get shoehorned into plot in ways that does them a disservice, so I try to take the approach that the POV character is now the main character in THEIR story. My job is to get their priorities and motivations to circle back and support the plot while also serving their own interests. Sometimes this is very hard.   
Portray Kaidan, a character known for thinking things through, as someone being extremely (and understandably) reactive in a high stakes and very personal moment while still feeling like Kaidan. He cannot be thinking straight, and he would not be thinking straight, but I have to sell that to the reader and make them believe it.
Not losing track of every other character in the scene,while also not having them interrupt the flow of the scene. If you are familiar with Arrested Development, imagine the scenes in which the camera focuses on two characters having a VERY private discussion, only to zoom out and reveal they are surrounded by a much larger, captive audience. That keeps happening in this scene, ha. These characters are not the focus of the scene, but they are still present, and therefore the reader needs to be aware of where they are and what they’re doing so they don’t seem to magically appear out of thin air when they do or say something.    
So how do I put all of these pieces together? Well, it’s still in progress, so I don’t have a success story yet, but the emotional thumbtacks come first. The whole point of the scene is something I have been dying to write for years. All the details and logistics that ultimately make it work are just in the way when all I can think about is the Big Confrontation, so I just spit it out, even if it’s mostly just broad strokes, because once it’s out there I can actually think about the rest. Now I can go back through and chip away at the logistics, create a deeper and richer narrative for the POV characters, turn the volume up on the side characters who play a smaller role, and sharpen the knives so those emotional moments really land in a meaningful, gut wrenching way. Doing all of this will inevitably reshape the manner in which some of these events unfold, because drilling deeper into characters often leads to new discoveries. But I can rewire the underlying skeleton when the skeleton at least exists.
The hope is that in the end, it reads like the whole thing was effortless, and you would never guess how much work and angst and handwringing went into writing it unless you read this post. Wish me luck!!!!! I need it.

The calls contain important references from Victor’s Glacier Date. So, please make sure you read the date first! ♡
Tumblr media
⌚ This post contains detailed spoilers for content yet to be released on the global server! ⌚
•─────⋅◍♡◍⋅─────•
[1st Call]
Victor: I was in a video conference just now and couldn’t pick up your call.
Victor: Anyway, I’d really like to know what on earth is it that happened to a certain someone?
Victor: Why did I receive a bunch of crying and rolling around memes the second I turned on my phone? 
MC: That… it’s actually not that big a deal.
MC: It’s just that I really don’t want to come to work anymore, sob sob sob sob––!
Victor: …
Victor: I seem to have heard the exact words more than once.
Victor: Why is it that every time a vacation ends, a certain someone always adheres to making this complaint without exception?
MC: Because every time I come back to work on the first day, it feels like being in hell!
MC: And especially since we were away for so long this time, it’s really like I’ve returned to the hell inside the hell!
MC: We received feedback on the previous works, and now we have to do follow-ups on them. At the same time, we also have to prepare for new projects.
MC: We still haven’t landed on a schedule regarding when I’ve to go to LFG to submit the quarterly report, so I still have to check with Goldman…
MC: By the way, the report I missed before the vacation, I’ll email it to you later at…
Victor: I remember it’s supposed to be the lunch break at [MC’s Company Name] right now.
MC: Eh?
Victor: I mean, how come a certain someone who says she doesn’t want to work is calling me and still talking about work?
MC: …!!
MC: In fact, there are, of course, also other things outside of work that I want to talk to you about~
MC: For instance… uhh… for instance, I think the sky doesn’t look good today, and there’s a good chance that it might rain!
Victor: It will indeed rain, but it’s gonna stop around 7 pm.
Victor: Have you forgotten? You put the umbrella in my bag in the morning.
MC: Sob sob, it turns out that I already reminded you… I’m dizzy from all the work rush.
MC: …by the way, Pudding hasn’t been eating very actively lately. So, I opened a can for it in the morning, and its appetite seemed to have improved a little~
Victor: That’s just its habitual trick, and it does the same thing every time it gets a craving for canned food.
Victor: And you are the only one it still manages to fool every time.
MC: …that’s because it calls out so pitifully every time! Oh, there’s also…
Victor: All right, no need to rack your brain to divert the subject.
Victor: Just now, I simply wanted to remind you to not get bogged down in work all day long. Occasionally, you should also hop around a little bit and let your mind rest for a while.
Victor: Let’s end the chat here for now. My next meeting is about to start.
Victor: Do you still have to work overtime tonight?
MC: Mm, I need to work over…
Victor: Remember to text me when you’re almost finished. Don’t worry, I’ll bring late-night snacks as comfort.
Tumblr media
[2nd Call]
Starts at – 2:07
Victor: Are you working overtime tonight?
MC: No. It just happens that I can get off work on schedule. Just need five more minutes, and I’ll be able to sneak out of here~
Victor: That’s good. Come with me when you’re done, and we’ll go together to pick up the car.
Victor: The 4S store contacted me in the afternoon and said that the maintenance has been done and it’s good to be received today.
MC: Okay!
MC: It drove us through the desert and onto the glaciers. It was indeed time for it to take proper rest.
MC: By the way, has the scratch on the front of the car been repaired too?
Victor: It’s fixed. That was especially taken care of to make it exactly the same as before.
Victor: Or perhaps we could leave it as it was. You know, as a commemoration of a certain dummy’s driving skills.
MC: Victor! There’s no need for this kind of commemoration!
MC: Besides, I got it scruffed just that one time… all my parallel parking was perfect after that!
Victor: It was indeed perfect. It’s just that the duration became directly proportional to the result.
Victor: I had finished reading several emails, and a certain someone was still staring into the rearview mirror, meticulously adjusting the steering wheel.
MC: I was just being cautious, that’s all! Haven’t you heard of the saying, “it is better to be late in this world than to be early in the next”~
Victor: I’ve indeed heard of it. But if I remember correctly, this is a slogan to exhort drivers against running red lights.
Victor: A certain someone trying to use that as a justification for dilly-dallying while parking doesn’t seem very convincing.
MC: CEO Victor, you don’t need to poke holes into such small, insignificant details.
MC: How come you happen to notice all my occasional mistakes... my driving skills clearly aren’t that bad.
MC: You probably don’t know. You were so comfortable that you were actually snoring when we were on the highway~
Victor: ...okay, let’s assume that you’re telling the truth.
MC: What assume... what I said is exactly what happened! I’ll most definitely be the driver next time and wipe clean the “bad” impression you have of me.
MC: But calculating the time, it’ll be quite a while before we go on our next trip...
Victor: It doesn’t need to be quite a while. You can experience that one more time today.
MC: What?
Victor: It doesn’t only have to be the self-drive tours. You can also practice your skill on the route to when we go to work and return home.
Victor: I didn’t drive up here today, all so to give a certain someone the opportunity to “prove herself.”
Victor: All right, five minutes have passed. Come to LFG now. I’ll be waiting for you downstairs.

Diary of a Hopeless Romantic
Pt. 1 - …and suddenly there was you
I am not sure what was the start of this drama-like “more or less” romance genre I am experiencing, but somehow it started…
What I do remember is how we met- him and I- or should I rather say how we interacted the first time.
My new job just began and everything was kind of new to me, but just how it always is, you fake all your confidence and act like you carry the world on your shoulders… or is that just me?
I came back from being sick and suddenly my whole work life was resetted again, new computer programme, change of location of the ward I was in charge of… I was overwhelmed but also quite energized to show what I am capable of, so I stepped out of my office, confident and determined (from the outside).
The first impression he must have had was a “who is this kid acting like an adult?”, but much later I realized he was doing the same- faking confidence.
I argued with a doctor about if a patient can or can not go to a different rehab clinic. She wanted the patient to go there, but I was sure she couldn't. Spoiler: I was right. He meddled with me in that exact (also wrong) moment. Timing was horrible, so I kind of told him off and ignored him afterwards.
Perfect first impression he had. And this probably applies to me too.
I kept thinking in a kind of bad way about him. He was just there, a very new doctor, trying whatever to be whatever. I actually did not take him seriously at all, yet now I speak highly of him.
Whatever he did, I kind of ridiculed him. (My bad). But what made me change my mind?
Actually it was me being completely stressed out and annoyed by my work (once more). Now I am not even sure when it was since work really hurt my mental health more than just one time. I sat down on the dirty hospital floor in a not that crowded part- hoping no one would notice me. But he did.
He turned around on his way to either the ward or his office to come over towards me. He called my name, smiling. “Is everything ok?”, he asked and waited for me to just rant about my work being stressful. He then just accepted my “but everything’s going ok” and left, not asking anything, just listening and somehow caring…
And that’s when I started to actually give him a chance. I started to slowly but surely think of him as a person worth a try.
And back then I did not mean it in a romantic kind of way, I meant it professionally. I wanted to watch him grow into being a decent doctor and smiling just because I know I did my tiny little part there.
So now after reviewing the beginning of this story I would retitle the chapter. How about we call it “Why would I waste my time on someone who doesn’t even ask if I am okay?”
I would really have dated less if I asked myself that.

love is · · · — trivias & outtakes
✇༄ spoilers for the entire love is · · · series
✇༄ bulleted list format
masterlist | love is · · · masterlist
Tumblr media
[gif’s full credit belongs solely to its owner]
✇༄ disclaimer: twilight from spy x family has nothing to do with this. i just wanted to use a gif of him as a header of sorts. heh.
✇༄ reader/main character will be referred to by their mafia codename ‘sea,’ just to make ramblings easier :]
inspo: plot & conflict
let’s get the general stuff out of the way first
so, this whole mini-series was actually thought of because i watched the “gambler” mv and band version one too many times as i tried to cope w pcd
[i highly recommend the band ver btw. it tempts me to swerve to changkyun every single time, istg]
and then i consequentially topped it off w mafia!aus . . .
truth be told, i wanted to save the hidden baby/secret child trope for future works since i didn’t want to overuse it
[it’s my go-to in my earlier, unpublished works. idk if they’ll ever see the light of day, but they’re def still in my drive somewhere]
i needed a big enough reason for sea to leave a relationship they were otherwise more than happy in — and (un)fortunately, i couldn’t think of any other situation
i figured being responsible for more than their own life should do the trick, so there
a general plot was made, tgt w the root of conflict
a gambler & a danger
ngl, out of all the parts for this mini-series, these two were the only ones that turned out exactly like how i planned them
specifically, the story captured in these two parts were the exact scenes i wanted to tell right from the start
there was no deviation from the original plot/screenplay or whatsoever
it was great
which, now that i think abt it, was prolly why i finished these two relatively quick
since there was no ‘what-if’s to consider
a secret
in contrast, i had a slight difficulty for this part because i had a ‘what-if’ scenario
i had to debate whether hoseok would be traveling alone or not
ngl, i have a tendency to go for the angstier way — but, for this case, the two options had contrasting effects on the story
option one was ultimately made canon
yk, hoseok crosses paths with sea on vacation and basically invites himself to walk around w them lol
but option two . . .
oh boy
did y’all hear abt that one time when hoseok was spotted at the airport w kihyun and changkyun? (it was after wonho became a soloist, so ot7 stans won that day *insert star eyes here*)
but yea, i basically took inspo from that and went— what if?
what if hoseok and then changkyun spotted sea?
then, different from canon, the convo they’d have would be significantly shorter since sea would feel more apprehensive about being in the same place as MX members
neither hoseok nor changkyun would have a chance to get close enough to learn kian’s name or even play w her since sea would of course leave as soon as possible
it’s debatable if sea would even get to think abt asking hoseok and changkyun the favor of not telling the others abt seeing them in their vacation
but, either way, the men’s eyes were still faster than sea since they already caught a glimpse of bebe kian
who, as hoseok canonically puts it, “looks a lot like her father”
now here’s the part that makes me scream— it’s so angsty i personally love it:
what if, as sea turned to leave, they saw someone not too far away who eerily looks like kihyun? looking at them? looking at kian?
[*screams*]
angst level through the roof already ik, but lemme make it worse
sea was written to have a strong resolve, someone who is selfish and selfless at the same time, someone who doesn’t back down easily
so yk what? even if they made eye contact w that person who eerily resembled kihyun, they would pretend they weren’t spooked
they would still leave . . . bc they already made their choice
as for the reason why i didn’t go with that route, even if it was literally the angstiest of the two aka my type lol
personally, i felt like option two would waste all of sea’s efforts to get away
i mean— sure, they would still reunite w kihyun eventually [bc yes, no matter what sea does, they’re still meant to end up w him]
but at least w option one, they had more time to enjoy their freedom — and w that extra time, they were able to have no regrets abt ruining an eight-year long of otherwise perfectly fine relationship
plus, if they saw each other then, sea would still be able to get away since it’d take kihyun a while to recover from his shock
but once he processed everything? he will try to find them. no amount of SVT’s countermeasures and precautions would be able to stop him. he will find sea and kian within two months — three months, tops.
however, as touched on in ‘a compass,’ that was exactly what sea didn’t want. bc they’d eventually end up hating him for real
overall, as much as i love angst, i didn’t want the series to get too messy once the domino effect hits, that was why i ultimately made option one canon
inspo: yoo kian
originally, i planned kian to be a boy
[just bc bb boys are my default for hidden baby!aus for some reason??? yea idk, either]
but then, yk how for some ppl you just see what gender of children “suit” them the best? like, minhyuk’s def a girl dad??
yea . . . same logic for kihyun. although his interactions w kylo are v uwu, i still see him as a girl dad. perhaps not as strong as my vision for minhyuk, but it’s still there
as for her name, sea never planned to completely erase kihyun in her life
they wanted to raise her away from him and out of his radar, yes, but they still wanted kian to have a piece of him wherever they go
hence sea let kian carry his surname and even share a syllable of her name w him
and they were only confident abt doing that bc, again, kihyun didn’t know abt bebe kian — he can’t track both of them using someone he didn’t even know existed
ik the spelling of her name can be considered masculine, but i merely romanized how her name would be written in hangul (키안/기안), so i see no point in giving her the feminine spelling of it
oh! i almost forgot: kian wasn’t actually the first name i thought of for sea and kihyun’s kid
i already forgot what the first name was, but the name kian was thought of after i remembered abt sian from tros lol
inspo: mafia codes
i wanted everyone to have a mafia codename of sorts
the members w stage names were easy, also those w alternate names (as in hyungwon’s case) since i just used those
but for those who have their real names as their stage names, i had to be creative
jooheon became ‘honey,’ after his current stage name that i keep forgetting [srly, i always forget that he goes by joohoney now T_T]
minhyuk became ‘gorae,’ which is korean for whale, his favorite animal
the only one i rlly had trouble w was kihyun’s code name
i personally associate him w hamsters, but i couldn’t thing of anything that could make ‘hamster’ as a code name intimidating, so i had to look for inspiration somewhere else
somehow, in my quest, i stumbled upon the fact that ‘yoo’ — kihyun’s last name — can be spelled as ‘ryu’ in the past
hence his code name ‘ryuki’
as for SVT members . . . there’s a reason why not all of them appeared in the series lol
i mean— besides the fact that it’s a MX-centered fic, most of them go by their real names on stage
and i rlly don’t have the energy to give everyone a creative code name lol
still, i came up with some just in case i ran out of members who have stage names
thus ‘player’ for wonwoo, after the carmen sandiego character and also the fact that he’s a gamer
‘moon’ for junhui, after his korean surname (문)
and two more back-ups i didn’t get to use: ‘ghost’ for seungkwan, solely bc his last name is boo [sometimes i think i’m funny] && ‘polar’ for hansol vernon, after his current emoji representative
though imma be honest
i have no idea who ‘labri’ is
when i first thought of the code name, it rooted from the word ‘lovely.’ when i tried to write it in hangul, it became ‘랍리’ or ‘labli’/‘labri’/‘lablee’/‘rabri’/— you get the idea
but with that, two members come to mind personally: jeonghan and mingyu
if ‘labri’ is jeonghan, it could also be the case that ‘labri’ came from ‘libra’ aka his zodiac sign, with a couple letters switched
however, if ‘labri’ is mingyu, it could also be the case that ‘labri’ came from ‘labrador’
so yea, idk who he is
a favor
despite being angsty, this part was a lil difficult to write ngl
i literally had to rewrite the entire thing three times before i finally had something i was satisfied w
i knew what i wanted to write, specifically what scenes i wanted to show, it was just a matter of how i should tell it
MX’s introduction to kian was originally captured in great detail as in move-for-move
but then . . . idk what was actually wrong w it, but it just seemed wrong for some reason???
i still saved that draft somewhere bc those scenes were so cute to me, but yea . . . i ultimately rewrote it
[sometimes i just don’t get how my brain works, sigh]
funnily enough, the scene that convinced me to even write this part in the first place didn’t even make the cut
like ‘a secret,’ this part also had a ‘what if’ — one that also had a contrasting effect to the story
the second idea was what i made canon
yk— wonho volunteered for the alliance but ryuki ended up the one getting engaged after MX pieced kian’s parentage tgt
but in the initial idea . . .
honey was chosen for the alliance
i didn’t work out how he was picked, but i did work out that he was v reluctant abt it — as in he wasn’t totally on board w it, but still agreed anw bc it was for MX’s future
sea wasn’t SVT’s pick for the marriage in this version tho
instead, honey was set to marry periwinkle aka perrie — someone who wasn’t part of SVT’s core, but a high-ranking member nonetheless
their dynamic was supposed to be like enemies-to-lovers, since both of them weren’t really fond of the idea
perrie was supposed to be rlly close w sea tho: partly bc the former was one of their “guards” until they left the country
which led to sea attending the wedding as a show of support
i mean— sure, for this ver, sea is still avoiding ryuki as much as they can, but with the alliance between SVT-MX pretty much complete, they're a bit more lax abt it than in canon
also bc of the logic that MX didn't find them to begin w before they crossed paths again, so the threat "make sure we never find you" in ‘a gamble’ is still in sea's favor
now here's the scene that convinced me to write this part in the first place but didn't even make the cut:
as it happened in canon, labri still mistakingly hands kian to the MX members before hurriedly leaving
and that event is still the reason why MX members will be able to piece together kian's parentage
although, for this ver, kian will resemble sea more than ryuki
[honestly idk how kian ended up looking like ryuki more in canon when i’ve been dead-set that she should look like her mapa more right from the beginning T_T]
[hoseok’s comment in ‘a secret’ was only supposed to be a signal like “i know who the father is”]
they will still be able to figure it out tho based on her features and other “coincidences”
unlike in canon tho, the one who will pick her up from MX’s house is sea
think “you fcking did WHAT? labri, you’re fcking DEAD. don’t fcking go near my daughter, i’m mad at you. i’ll pick her up myself”
yea, sea’s furious at labri oki
[like, so v much so that they literally signed up to go to the lion’s den unaccompanied without much thought]
and understandably so, since hello?? this whole thing was abt keeping kian & kihyun apart???
not to worry, though
surprisingly enough, had they met this way, they would’ve been pretty civil . . . and calm
i didn’t work out the logistics, but kihyun supposedly harbor no ill feelings for sea in this ver
it’s like . . . after piecing kian’s parentage, he just figures out what exactly happened and just . . . understood
so, yea
for this ver, “the talk” that happened in ‘a compass’ is a lot quieter and calmer
like it literally takes place while the other members painstakingly gather everything that belongs to kian that had been scattered around the house lol
and as a sort of soft epilogue, sea and ryuki would meet again in honey and periwinkle’s wedding reception
where it would be alluded that they would be a couple again in the future
and then [*hits the slate*] CUT
.
.
.
ngl i rlly looked forward to writing the reunion in this ver since it was the reason this part exist in the first place
but
as i progressed writing the opening scenes for this particular part, i realized it didn’t seem realistic that ryuki would just let sea off the hook that easily
sure, this is fiction and all, but i figured kihyun at least deserves some time to show sea that the trauma they caused wasn’t okay
cuz yk . . . we can’t just invalidate ppl’s feelings like that
so yeah
that’s why canon is the way it is
a journey & a compass
frankly, these two parts wouldn’t’ve existed if not for the anons that asked abt them
cuz i fully intended to just end the story in ‘a favor’
partly bc i knew if i extended the story beyond that, i would have no choice but to actually address kihyun’s trauma
not that there was smth wrong w doing that, it’s just . . . i didn’t want to mess it up
even if it’s fictional, that trauma is heavy yk
i think i messed it up anw but yk it is what it is ig
ngl there was only supposed to be one part after ‘a favor’
but, while i was writing ‘a journey,’ i noticed that there would be a shift in the tone?— the color?— idk how to phrase it— of the story
so i decided that it would be best to split the supplementary part into two
one focusing on the “pretending”
and the other on the “closure”
as i mentioned on one of my replies to an anon, the keyword for the last set of supplemental parts was ‘wedding’
yea, i technically could’ve just went straight to ‘a compass’ without having to write ‘a journey,’ that’s true
but there were some information in ‘a journey’ that i needed to mention
don’t ask what it was bc i can’t recall now lol
but yea that’s why there was ‘a journey’ before ‘a compass’ :D
inspo: significant others
sea actually had a name in the first draft of ‘a gamble’ bc i originally didn’t plan on sharing the story here
and every time a story is exclusively for me, i tend to create ocs since that’s what i did before my tumblr writer era
[yes, that’s why my mcmxcvii & mcu stuff are x oc . . . those universes were built years ago]
but anw
sea’s name was choi gaeul
they were supposed to share their last name with their cousin seungcheol
wait actually let me elaborate
they were named as such first
with their first name being from chu gaeul of boys over flowers [aka half of one of my first ships as a kid uwu]
&& then when the time came to pick a relative who share the same surname, seungcheol became an obvious choice
ergo, SVT was ultimately inserted in the story
ergo, the codename ‘autumn’ later on became out of question since that’s what gaeul meant
ngl had i published the story w an oc, bb kian’s full name would’ve easily been choi kian
which strangely would’ve changed the story in ‘a favor’ & onwards now that i think abt it
huh
anw sea’s occupation is an architect
why? solely bc of a small fact mentioned in ‘a journey’: so i can say that they thought seungcheol would simply ask them to design a blueprint for SVT’s house as a favor
that’s v shallow ik, but i always try to be as vague and as general as possible in my x reader fics
so when i do specify some things, they’re more likely than not thought of last min and had to be made bc i had no other choice
that includes the name drops for minhyuk’s and changkyun’s respective partners, actually — since i couldn’t just refer to them as their other half every single time
they’re more than just that yk
i came up with minhyuk’s partner’s name first — nari — bc they were supposed to be mentioned by name in ‘a favor,’ right in the beginning when it was discussed that them & minhyuk were already married by then
for extra measure, i also planned out some things abt nari & their relationship w minhyuk just in case i needed them
like how nari’s works in a flower shop & somehow met minhyuk there one day, allowing for their love story to start [yea, they got the florist-mafia trope. it’s cute]
&& also how nari is actually pregnant during ‘a favor’ & onwards
them seeking advice from sea abt giving birth & parenthood was actually my back up plan for the story flow lol
actually, that also includes them offering to babysit kian for “experience” [one of my drafts actually had a scene where ryuki & sea had a fight abt this lol]
funnily enough, the name nari was thought of bc i remembered abt the narra tree
it was rlly random, but that basically gave my name search a direction — name starting w n, meaning possibly related to plants
&& tada~ nari means ‘lily’ — or so google says
i didn’t bother thinking of a surname for nari though, or hayeon too, for that matter
in fact, changkyun’s partner has less info planned out compared to nari
most likely bc i didn’t intend them to play a huge role in the series or appear at all
but alright, here’s everything i came up w abt changkyun’s partner
their name hayeon was from one of the former kids in tros [i just think it’s a beautiful-cute name, nothing else]
they’re a doctor, speciality unknown — most likely smth related to surgery tho
mostly bc the trope that i thought for them two involves kyun getting wounded && hayeon fixing him up
i did consider that hayeon was prolly the first person to know abt sea’s pregnancy
and, for some reason, sea was alright w them knowing
specifically, for wtv reason, sea knew hayeon would keep that knowledge a secret from MX
i didn’t rlly flesh out the ‘why,’ exactly, but it was def hinted in ‘a compass’
smth abt what happened to hayeon will fs prompt MX to tighten their security/surveillance around sea when they find out that they’re pregnant
ngl what ‘happened’ may or may not have involved hayeon getting kidnapped . . .
and let’s just say hayeon believes that it’s better to stay away from any mafia than to accept some sort of protection from them
based on their experience, yk the mafia protection basically failing them, they have the right to feel that way
so yeah: sea knowing that particular belief of theirs def played a part on why sea would feel safe sharing their secret w them
&& also why hayeon was intentionally ‘absent’ in the series compared to nari whose scenes just got cut: they were staying as far away from all the mafia shenanigans as much as possible
which, really, wasn’t difficult for them to do given that they’re a doctor & everything
since we’re on the topic, i might as well mention this
hayeon & changkyun’s on-&-off relationship was def influenced by their kidnapping
i won’t go to details bc i didn’t actually flesh it out
but, as i see it rn, their story def has so much angst in it that i can’t even guarantee a ‘happy ending’ for them if i ever write it
final notes
this rambling has gone on longer than i intended
i didn’t realize i had so much to say abt the ‘behind’ of this series oml
but anw
to close, i just want take a moment to thank you guys for reading & showing interest in ‘love is · · ·’
it’s the first series i finished wo having all the parts prewritten before posting, so all the interactions — the likes, the reblogs, the comments, the messages — really drove this to completion
i read all the reblogs, tags, comments, & msgs btw, even if i only replied to the asks
mostly bc i despise how it’s my ‘main’ blog that replies whenever i answer a comment smh
&& like . . . idk how i can answer reblogs/tags . . .
i love reading them, actually
i went back to read every single one of them multiple times to help me finish everything. they helped me a lot fr
and i uh— i’m so sorry i broke your hearts several times
i’m admittedly just good at dropping angsty one-liners && my fluffy writing needs a lot of work
so hopefully the hopeful ending made all the heartbreak worth it . . . somehow. somewhat.
if there’s anything you’re curious abt that i didn’t address in this lengthy ramble, pls send me an ask here!!
feel free to send me other stuff through there too: what you liked abt this series, what frustrated you, idk. wtv else you think of
that way i can actually reply *insert dancer emoji, three times, here*
forewarning tho: you might get a reply that’s more than what you asked for bc i tend to overshare—
but anw yea
from the v bottom of my heart, thank you for tuning to ‘love is · · ·’ and following ryuki & sea’s story (⌒▽⌒)♡

OUAT Thoughts Pt.31--Episodes 20-21
I have watched through S3E21; spoilers DNI. Also, spoiler warning for anyone further behind than I am.
—Every time people are happy in this show, things get worse. Last time everyone was happy, Peter Pan almost wiped out the entire town. This time, there are time shenanigans. When will we reach the lowest possible badness level and have nowhere to go but up?
—This show feels like it was written by the most top-tier fanficcers. It’s an exquisite piece of art, and despite the sheer beauty and intelligence of its story and characters, it doesn’t shy away from utilizing the plot devices and tropes that are common in fanfiction. Which, by the way, is simply a form of media that goes to show how many genius writers exist in the world, and how certain concepts are naturally appealing to a large majority of the population.
—The streaks of grey in Rumple’s hair are quite fetching.
—Maybe Granny should join the Merry Men. She already has the crossbow.
—Yay, Dr. Hopper crumbs! I’m glad he got to have a conversation with Henry, because he has been rather important in Henry’s life, and it would be a shame to not include a scene like that when it fits in so easily. Also, sweater vest!
—It’s very selfish of Emma to still want to take Henry back to New York. Now he remembers he has extended family in Storybrooke, not to mention a whole other mom. And it’s not fair to them, especially Regina, either. Seriously, for a hero, Emma’s being about 0% empathetic right now. She hasn’t even considered Regina’s feelings about it. Also, Henry has spent all but one years of his life in Storybrooke, so for him that is home. Emma is just not being considerate of anyone right now.
—Of course Dorothy was disappointing.
—I do kind of appreciate the way the good witches were talking about the Wizard. If he had gotten a chance to actually be a devious trickster, he might’ve been kinda cool.
—Regina putting the pendant in her vault is so stupid. That’s basically the first place a badguy goes if they’re looking for magic. It’s the opposite of secure.
—I’m not disappointed in Rumple for killing Zelena. Frankly, she had it coming. And it would be pretty ooc for him to not exact vengeance, even if he’s a semi-changed man. There is, after all, a difference between natural growth and bad characterization, and after Bae was the center of his machinations for centuries not avenging Bae’s death would be the latter.
—I am kinda disappointed that he’s lying to Belle, especially now that they’re engaged. That’s going to come back and bite him in the ass eventually.
—Emma looks extra pretty in the fairytale clothes. Honestly, find me someone who doesn’t, because cloaks and blouses and fancy jackets with gold buttons are just lovely.
—The timeline is going to be so messed up by the time Hook and Emma get home. Everybody’s going to end up with like three heads or something.
—Seeing Charming and Abigail’s interactions with each other is fun now that I know Abigail isn’t happy with their arrangement either. Before, she came off as a spoiled princess. Now she reads as being equally unhappy as Charming is. And he’s doing his best, but when it comes to Abigail he’s hardly an attentive fiancé (which again, is understandable) so her reactions are quite understandable.
—Emma introducing herself as Princess Leia is hilarious. Who wouldn’t pick that as a codename?
—The book turning blank because Emma messed with her parents’ relationship is terrible.
—It’s pretty cool that Emma got a chance to experience the life her parents wanted for her. I think she actually would’ve been a decent princess, if she’d gotten to live in the Enchanted Forest. Though, her dress wasn’t quite as elaborate as some of the others; seeing her in a full-on princess getup would’ve been fun.
—I gotta love Rumple sending people off in style. Charming needs to rescue Snow from a sleeping curse? Not in that outfit, buddy. Emma and Hook need to encourage Snow to steal from Charming? Royalty don’t dress like that, dearies. He’s so frickin extra.
—Regina using light magic was awesome. I enjoy that she gets to illustrate how neither good nor evil is entirely inborn.
—You know, I’d still love a holiday episode where absolutely nothing important happens and nobody is in danger of dying. Maybe split between Christmas and Thanksgiving; we start at Christmas, with everybody already acting annoyed at each other, and over the course of the episode flash back to Thanksgiving to find out what caused it. Of course they’re all fighting over something stupid, because it’s a holiday.
—I’m quite relieved we didn’t go far enough back in time for Emma to literally become her own great-great-great-grandmother. Although, she is messing with her parents and drastically lowering the chances that she was ever born, so…kind of a lateral move.

warning for spoilers from season 3 
alright, I believe Klaus is gonna get fucked next season an here is why
when he meets his father in the void, Reginald tells him he is his greatest dissapointment and that he wanted him to live to up to his full potential.
Later, in season 3, when Klaus is able to catch that ball, he says that “now he’s ready”. Ready for what? Klaus asks, and Reginald takes him to the cemetery where he admits he made Klaus so traumatized so he could control him.
He says with all letters that Klaus was the most important child to learn how to control his powers. (season 1)
And all through seasons, Klaus is the closest to his father. Every timeline.
But then we go back to season 3 when Reginald locks him outside the tunnel. Why? after fully comprehending his powers, Klaus didn’t have a chance to use them. Why would Reginald bother training him? why would he rush to do so? Why only him?
If locking him outside was by chance, he wouldn’t have said those lines. “You’re more trouble than you’re worth”. The greates potential is more trouble than he’s worth? bite me. Why would he run off with him to train as the word crumbled?? 
I’ve already said in another post, but I believe the tunnel couldn’t handle more than “the shaman and the seven”. And Klaus was the only one able to get inside of oblivion by himself. Maybe it was a bet, but maybe it wasn’t. After all, when they’re getting on top of the sigil, He again uses Klaus so Allison could be out of there. I believe she was supposed to kill him and save the others.
But then we go back to the cemetery, where Klaus was able to conquer those ghosts. Really nice that scene, but terrible useless, no? What he does with Luther, calling him to fight, he had already done with Ben in season 1. What does Reginald really wants from Klaus’s powers?
At this point, I believe Klaus really is the most powerful Umbrella, and probably the smartest one as well. Luther’s leadership? Klaus leads hords of ghosts. Diego’s long distance and furtivity? Klaus can get anywhere without raising suspicion, can shoot and again, can use the dead. Allison’s rumours? Klaus has +5 in charisma and is really good at manipulating people. Five’s agility? Klaus literally can’t die, who cares about bullets? Also, he understood ans was ok with time travel in his first time. Ben’s tentacles? Ben6 could only materialize at his will and Ben2 is a coward. Viktor’s sounds? pretty much they’ve been used for blowing things up? the thing with the kugelblitz was nice but it didn’t work. (I know I’m biased, I know)
We are always looking for number ones or sevens, but if you think four is exacly in the middle and the universe is a sucker for balance. How about someone who lives as much as he dies? Who looks for death while fearing it?
Who is so strong, but don’t fight? Who’s so irritating, but charismatic? Who’s manly and girly? Easily distracted, passionately focused, joyfully uninterested, profoundly curious? 
Klaus doesn’t pay much attention to everything, but what’s important at the moment, by chance, he takes seriously. Something he found before season 1 was vital for season 3′s development. He is Reginald’s perfect little mess of intuition. And intuition is a skill that he’s trained and took him places.
I can’t wait to see what in hell that alien has stored for him. Because I know he haven’t finished what he started. 
You can stop reading here if you don’t want to see me going crazy lol
(also, did you guys notice that Reginald’s notebook, when taking notes about Klaus’s deaths, had other times before the first time he killed Klaus in this timeline? 22 minutes, the time Klaus took to come back to life after the first time Reggie killed him, was not his first entry. We cannot read it, but there’s a previous note in the exact format he’s using right now.
 I’m so sure Reginald can travel through dimensions or something. Specially since I saw something about a elevator in the comics, both Klaus and Ben are seen together in elevators[ben on his feet while klaus is on the floor when we have dead ben and both on their feet when Klaus and Ben2 are alive] and when we see Luther coming back from the dead [void - another dimension] he comes from an elevator.)
(and as you guys already know that I love finishing my theory dump referencing another piece of media, this time I bring you Hair - The Musical. 
Klaus went back in time to the 60′s two times. In the first one, he went to the vietnam war(alone) and watched his lover die. The second one(whole family), that was before that, he became a hippie in a somewhat polyamorous life. In Hair, the play, Claud(Klaus) was part of a hippie comunity(Claud family) and ended up in vietnam(alone), where he died. Claud(Klaus) had this love triangle with Berger(Ben) and Sheila(Jill). By the end of the play, Claud dies and comes back as a spirit, but no one sees him(Ben/Dave). 
The most famous song of this musical is “The Age of Aquarious”, by the band the 5th dimension. It’s said that the fourth dimention is time, what we were exploring through last three seasons. The fifth dimension would be both a level of conciousness that happens after self realization (Klaus making peace with his trauma) and please remember that when Klaus re-introduces himself to Reginald he says he is the spiritual one; or the fifth dimension would be “ is that it is a dimension unseen by humans where the forces of gravity and electromagnetism unite to create a simple but graceful theory of the fundamental forces“ (definition taken in sciencing.com). Both seem fitting for me. 
The song starts with “When the moon is in the seventh house”. This all could be a coincidence, But I really don’t believe in those. or maybe I do... un coup de des...)

Smile With Teeth
Part 1
Chishiya x Fem!Reader
Tumblr media
{ Alice in Borderland Master List }
Summary: Chishiya hated his life before the Borderlands. He hated everything about it and he felt that it wasn’t satisfactory. Nothing was keeping him going, except you. You, his fiancé, are the only thing that’s keeping him going. Both to stay living, and to get out of the Borderlands. He did some pretty messed up things to try to get back to you. Only to find out, you were in Borderlands all along.
Inspired by: THIS POST by this amazing writer @ithehellisbucky​ Go check out their works when you get a chance!
Warnings: Spoilers for the manga & show, This story is 18+.
Notes: Firstly, the only spoilers for the manga is that I'm taking real material from the manga found on Fandom and the parts I'm taking from the show is all from season 1. I have not read the manga or what happens after the 10 of Hearts game, so I won’t be going off what happens in the Second Stage. Secondly, although the post I linked above did inspire me to write this, it won’t be alike at all. They wrote about Niragi and a pregnant reader. While I’m writing about our darling Chishiya and his fiancé (you). Thirdly, I also posted this on AO3 if you want to read it there. Here’s the LINK. Lastly, yes I know this is a lot, but anything in italics is a flashback/backstory. Now, without any further a due... Enjoy Curious Cats! ఌ
Fem!Reader
AIB ML | Index | Part 2
(=^ェ^=)(=^ェ^=)(=^ェ^=)(=^ェ^=)(=^ェ^=)
Chishiya has done some very bad things in his lifetime.
He's killed, betrayed, stole, and now just set someone on fire. I guess that includes arson to the mix.
He's done things that people in the real world would send him to prison or even an asylum for. But, he doesn't care about the repercussions. He'll say and do anything to get back to the real world. Anything to get back to her.
His world. His life. His reason for existing. His fiancé, Y/n Y/l.
Although she would call herself Mrs. Chishiya. Just the thought of her calling herself that brings a smile to his face. Not a fake, half assed one either. A real one with teeth and all.
Even during the worst of times he smiles thinking about her. Even after he just set someone on fire and tumbling off the roof top of The Beach, he can smile to your face and the thought of your voice.
Everyone has their own reasons on why they want to return to the real world. Chishiya's reason is singular.
You.
If it wasn't for you, he would probably not even mind staying in the Borderlands. At least here he can be appreciated for his intelligence instead of forgotten by his family.
But, you don't belittle him. You didn't ignore him. You made him enjoy life and all it had to offer.
You both met during your first years of college. He was studying Biology to later become a Doctor, and you were studying Psychology to later work in a mental health ward at a hospital.
Chishiya sat at the back desk in his first class of the school year. He looked around at his fellow students and saw exactly what he expected: People just trying to get by. They don't want to be there and neither does he, but they do it to appease the people that birthed them and claim to be smarter then them.
That's what he's doing, after all. Anything to get more than a few words from his parents. When he told his father he wanted to be a doctor - a surgeon to be exact - his father actually looked up from his paperwork. He didn't say anything, but to Chishiya that was enough.
Everyone around him was trying to find seats that didn't involve sitting next to people they don't know. A few girls in the front started giggling when they realized they were in the same class. This made Chishiya roll his eyes. Why is it so important to have friends when in a few years you won't even remember their names?
Chishiya never had friends. He had acquaintances and people that he could use to get ahead in life, but no friends.
The seats were starting to be all taken and Chishiya looked at his watch to see it was only 3 minutes before class would start.
Some girl tried sitting next to him, but he mumbled, "Seats taken."
The girl huffed and walked away.
There was only two seats left in class. The one next to him in the back corner of the class, and one in the second row. Chishiya would never sit up front. He prefers the back where everyone can forget about him even being there and observe others on what they do. He also can laugh at those that make stupid mistakes this way. They can't hear him if they decide to forget about him.
Only a minute left before class and just when he thinks no one else will join the class, someone sits down next to him.
He tries telling them, by not looking at them, "Seats taken."
"No it's not," The person contracts with a laugh.
Chishiya turns to look at whoever decided it was a good idea to sit next to him, and is surprised to see a girl he actually finds attractive.
She has her hair in a high pony tail that exposes her slim neck. She's wearing simple clothing like jeans and a navy long sleeved top with a low neckline. He's able to see her white sports bra peek out the sides of her shirt since her neck line is on the lower side. Not scandals, but enough for the style. She has her legs crossed and he sees that she has basic black flip-flops on. Her legs are thin, but her thighs are the type that other guys would want to hold and never let go of while in bed.
Chishiya isn't blind, but he rather stay away from girls that look attractive. Attractiveness leads to crushes, then dating, and marriage. All things he doesn't need in his life.
He continues to stare at you like you lost your mind, and you ignore him. You're just rummaging through your bag to try an find a pen, and a notebook to use for class.
He tries to tell you more firmly, "This seat is taken. Look, there's a seat right up there."
You just sigh to yourself. This guy is really going to make you explain yourself?  You finally turn to the blonde headed man and greet him with a smile. '
"Look, I know this seat isn't taken. It's 1 minute until class starts and if this seat were taken they would already be here. You were probably the first person to enter this class so you could make sure no one sat next to you or took the backseat. Am I correct?"
Chishiya just stares at you. He was speechless by how correct and spot on you were.
When he doesn't answer, you hum in a satisfied tone because you didn't need confirmation to know you're correct.
"With that being said, you look like a guy that only wants to be surrounded by other intelligent people so you sit in the back to be ignored by all those you believe are beneath you. If you were actually waiting for someone to take this seat, they wouldn't have came into class this late. Intelligent people stay with intelligent people. It's basic math, really. I’m only late because there were no parking spots."
Chishiya is stunned by everything you were saying. He couldn't help, but be intrigued by you. That's why he even asked you a question next because he wants to know how you got this smart.
"How do you know all this?"
The professor just walks into class that moment so you go back to facing the head of the class. You still answer him with a knowing smirk.
"I'm a Psychology major. It's important for us crazies who want to treat other crazies to know why people do certain things. You wouldn't sit in the back of the class if you wanted others to notice you.”
This actually brings a smile on Chishiyas face. Not a fake one either but an impressed one. It surprises him that a complete stranger like you created this reaction from him, but that was something for him to think about later.
"Interesting."
"Not interesting just observant. Names Y/n, by the way."
"Shuntarō - Shuntarō Chishiya."
"Nice to meet you Chishiya."
His eyebrow raised at you calling him by his last name. That's what most people call him, but without even asking you understood this information. His parents are the only ones that call him by his first name, and it's usually when they are with other people they want to impress, so they bring up their neglected son, and all his accomplishments even though they haven't spoke a full conversation with him in years.
From that day forward, he actually enjoyed going to this class, but it wasn't for what he was studying that made him happy to be there.
Unlike his parents, you and Chishiya continue these conversations throughout the semester. It isn't until the week before finals that he asks you to hang out with him outside of class. You smiled at him and said, "I was wondering when you would ask me."
Then the rest is history. Dates happened, first kisses, and first intimacies. Even conversations about moving in together were talked about. He loved you enough to even get a special ring and get down on one knee for you. He loved you enough to want to hear your corny jokes everyday. He wants to hold you when he wakes up and then kiss you on your forehead before he falls asleep next to you. He loves you so much he wants you to be in his life forever.
This was before love became a weakness. This was before the games twisted his reality and made him do terrible things. Terrible things just to get back to the person he loves most. Things just so he can hear you laugh one more time. He would even be okay with having you force him into a crazy adventure like rock climbing or skating like you always do. Although he seems like he hates your crazy ideas of fun, he loves the fact you're so full of life and understand him.
You understand him so well, that after graduation you both applied to the hospital Chishiya's family owned. You wanted to stay by him and remind him everyday that there's someone who loves him.
It wasn't the plan for you, at first. But you saw through Chishiya's fake facade the second you met him. He needed someone like you in his life. He needed someone to remind him the joys of life.
He studied to become a doctor for two reasons. One, so he could maybe - just maybe - get a 'well done son' from his father. He didn't. Reason number two, if he didn't feel life had purpose then maybe saving lives would help him. This didn't happen either.
You joined the hospital and he understood your reasons as to why. Although you were in different parts of the hospital, you would still find a way to be near him and made sure he smiled a real smile at least once a day. This was the reason he stayed in his field. Not to save someone from some how getting a fork in their stomach, but to see how you could make him smile next at work.
His true smile only came out for you, and that's the same now.
After Niragi fell off the roof top, Chishiya slithered his way to the floor just above the lobby. He had many ways of staying hidden at The Beach and even in the games. Hearts games weren't his specialty, and he knew this ever since the beginning, but just as expected Arisu figured out who really was the witch. Chishiya was surprised that Arisu figured out it was Momoka herself, but not as surprised as he was when Asahi reveled she was the Dealer of that game, but still surpirsed.
After Niragi somehow survived the fall and remerged with so many burns on his flesh, Chishiya escaped the scene pretty quickly. He didn't leave completely, but went far enough away to make sure Niragi didn't want to enact revenge onto him.
Chishiya only returned to the lobby area when everyone was gone so he could be the one that got the Ten of Hearts card.
As he held that smooth paper card in his hand, he smiled. Not a big enough smile for his teeth to show, but a smile none the less. He knew in that moment that he was one step closer to returning to you. He knew there was one more step just for the simple fact that no mystical force or beams came down to return him to the real Tokyo when he held all the cards together.
Kuina eventually found him at the top of the stairs. Unlike everyone else he's ever betrayed or failed their trust, he never did anything to Kuina. Maybe it was because she reminded him so much of you that he just couldn't betray her or use her for an alternative motive. He's not sure if that's the reason exactly, since in a way everyone around Chishiya has been used by him. He can't put a finger on it, but he also doesn't have the need to care.
After Kuina and him joined forces once again, he remembered the drawing the 'tagger' had in the 5 of Spades game. It was in that moment he realized what it could be.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He needs to stop underestimating Arisu's intelligence. For the third time since meeting him, he has figured out something that Chishiya took way longer to figure out. He should view it as competition, but instead he'll just keep using it for his advantage. Having someone close by that's specialty is Hearts never hurt anyway.
Mira just announced that there will be more games. Everyone was disappointed in the fact that they are going to be put through more death defying games. Chishiya was too, but he didn't voice his exact opinion. Nobody knew why, or more importantly, who he wanted to get back to Tokyo for. Not even Kuina knew his whole story. That is why he needed to play this off as not as big of a deal when he said, "I don't hate that idea."
Referencing to the idea of more games. 
In the corner of his eye he could see Usagi and Arisu judging him by his comment, but he didn't care. He's been playing off the 'I don't care' vibe for a long time, and this won't be changing just because he's a few more games away from going back home.
He's just one more step away from being with you. One step away from returning to his beloved and holding you in his arms again. That's all he'll ever care about.
If only he knew, you were in Borderland the entire time...
You heard a loud explosion when you were on your way back to your hide out. You just finished a 4 of Hearts game, and of course nailed the game like no tomorrow. Unlike everyone else you've ever met in Borderland, Hearts games were the games you were most okay with playing. They were basically made for a mind like yours. Yeah it was super upsetting when someone died from a game, may even stay on your conscious for awhile, but making friends and saving lives weren't on your todo list. The only thing that was on your todo list was figuring out how to get out of this death filled world.
You had a fiancé and a future happy life waiting for you. You rubbed the diamond ring on your ring finger absent mindfully with your thumb. Every time you looked at your ring your fiancé proposed to you with, your body fills with hope.
Hope that he's waiting for you on the other side. Hope he hasn't done anything further to get him in more trouble at his family's hospital without you there to vouch for him. Most importantly, you hoped Chishiya was smiling at least once a day. With teeth to be exact. Oh, how you loved that smile. That smile is what you thought about every night you went to bed in your hideout, and every morning when you realize he's not next to you. Anything to keep you going another day so you can return to him one day.
You decide the explosion peeked your interest enough to go figure out where it was coming from. Nothing better to do with 4 days on your visa then do something crazy. You were always the more crazy of the bunch. Even to your family you were considered the crazy one. Just like Chishiya, you didn't have the best relationship with your parents because your views on life were so out there they considered you unstable. Hell, the first day you met Chishiya you told him you were a crazy trying to heal other crazies. It's why you fell in love with Psychology to begin with after all. To figure out how the mind works.
This craziness of yours also brought you to a place like this. A burnt up and in shambles hotel building that looks to have just exploded. There are hundreds of dead bodies around, and they’re all wearing... swimsuits?
Looks like this place was used as a game arena, but you weren't sure what type of game arena this would be used for exactly.
Just as you were about to go deeper into the burnt up hotel to investigate more, you heard someone cough close by. You turned around and saw movement coming from under another dead body. You walked over, like without a care in the world, and pushed the dead body with your foot. When you did that it reveled a half naked man underneath.
The second the dead body was kicked off of him, he screamed out in agony. Your eyes widen at the screeching that came from the man. As you looked more closely, you realized the man was burnt like a crisp. You sighed to yourself and were about to turn away. No need to help someone who's about to die anyway.
“Wait!"
You stopped in your tracks as you heard him call out to you.
"H-help me."
Well now you felt like an asshole. I guess this man had more juice in him than you thought. You knew there wasn't much you could really do. You worked in a hospital, but unlike your fiancé you knew nothing about anything medical. Even if you scraped your knee you would ask Chishiya to fix it. You had to resist an inappropriate timing smile when thinking about Chishiya putting a band-aid on your bruises and scratches, then kissing them after, like a child. To others it may seem weird or even toxic on how much you two relied on each other, but it worked for the both of you.
With him in mind, you decided to turn around on your heals and help the man. Chishiya may have not liked people, outside of you, but saving people was his job and if you could figure out someway to save this nameless man, then you would feel a little closer to your beloved.
You helped the guy stand up and held most of his weight on your shoulder as you both walked out of the fire that was still blooming. It wasn't until you were back on the path you came from that you asked this mysterious man a question.
"So, what's your name tater tot?"
You felt the man tense up and it was in that moment you saw the glint of a piercing from inside his mouth. A tongue piercing, maybe?
"Niragi."
Hmm, interesting name.

Angel of Paradis
Pairing: Levi Ackerman x Reader
Warnings: Spoilers from Season 4. Mentions of gun violence, blood, death
A/N: Now I know EP8 is only the beginning of the end but goddamn it hurts!! I love potato girl and losing her just tore me to bits. So here, take this. Its my way of coping I guess..
Tumblr media
Levi is pissed off. From the start, he disliked the plan but it wasn't like Eren gave you all much of a choice. So the moment the kid got on the airship, he was welcomed with one of the captain's infamous kicks. The cockpit wall quakes with the impact and Hange sighs, shooting you a look. "I think you need to get out there and make sure Levi doesn't kill Eren, Y/n." She says exasperatedly and you nod, rising from your seat next to Onyankopon.
"I'll be right back." You say and she flashes you a knowing grin, shaking her head slightly. Even the commander knows you're the only one who could reign in the Levi Ackerman.
You see Levi on the corner glaring at Eren as he was being tied up. You sigh heavily, seeing Eren steaming as he heals. Jaw probably unhinged from the captain's kick. You sat beside him on the bench and pulled out a handkerchief, wiping his face clean from dirt and blood.
"Y/n-san." He greets you monotonously and you gave him a kind smile. "Hey, kid." You greet back, tucking loose strands of his now long hair behind his ear.
Your heart aches at the sight. He used to have so much fire, had the same will to fight for humanity that you only ever saw in your mentor, Erwin. Now all you see is ember of pure hatred and cold blooded need for revenge. "I'm glad you're okay." You murmur. Eren's blank stare softens for a second and a small smile hints the corner of his mouth. "Glad to see you too, Lieutenant." He says quietly and out of the corner of your eyes, you see Levi roll his eyes and make a disgruntled sound as he turns around.
You walk up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. Levi meets your gaze with his dull gray ones for a second and sighs, his expression softening too. At this you smile a little and say, "We still have a long battle to fight ahead of us, Captain. Things might not have gone smoothly, but we won today." You remind him and as if proving your point, right on the other side of the ship you hear the soldiers celebrate as they reunite.
"You're right." He agrees. Levi then takes a deep breath and grabs the hand you placed on his shoulder so he can bring it to his face. He turns his head and placed a chaste kiss on your palm. Your heart flutters at the gesture. It isn't grand but was still something you couldn't quite get used to. You two never declared your love for one another, never really had the luxury of time or chance to do so, but small acts like this was enough to let you know that your presence provided him the calm he sorely needs. And that was all you want. Be his peace in this war.
"I'm going to check if the rest of the squad made it back up." You tell him, grazing your thumb on his lower lip and he reluctantly lets you go. "Be back as soon as you can. Meeting will start as soon as this fucking monkey heals enough." He says, cold glare flashing at the other Jaeger who is a pile of steam still laying on the ground. "Okay, I'll just check on Lima's squad. They're the last ones to be picked up supposedly." Levi nods again and watches you leave before turning to talk to Yelena.
You smile past Floch and the other soldiers who are weeping, hugging and making their tributes for those whom had fallen in battle. You then saw three of the soldiers you've grown close with through the years. They were huddled in the corner, sharing a hug.
You hear Jean say in protest, "Dont hug people with that lump ass iron gear on.", while shrugging off Connie's arm. You chuckle at this and tackled him back to the embrace. "Shut the hell up, Jean. I would take Connie's armored hugs any day!" To which the trio whines out, " Lieutenant Y/l/n!!" when you squished them tight.
Although the new gear designed by Hange was in deed not made for hugging, you four relaxed in the uncomfortable embrace. Grounded by the fact that you all made it safe despite the battle you had just gone through. Connie and Sasha smile up at you while Jean tries to still look annoyed, although the softness in his eyes says otherwise.
The soldiers left below start coming in and the cheering just grows even louder. You didn't have the heart to stop them because you yourself are quite happy that today was a success despite some casualties. Now, you have the War Hammer titan as well and were able to destroy the fleet. Now, the Eldians' chance stands higher against this damn war.
"Did you hear that just now?"
Sasha asks out of the blue and you turn to her in wonder. Honestly you couldn't hear anything but the soldiers celebrating. But out of the lot of you, you know Sasha's sense of hearing is far superior than all of you combined. So you take a step back from the crowd and actually looked around.
"Hey, quiet down!!"Jean yells over the chanting but Floch shouts, "Make some noise! Victory!!!" And was echoed by the rest as they embraced and pumped their fists in the air.
"Hey!" Jean tries again only to be pulled by Connie to the side to ask, "Isn't Lobov-san still out there?"
"No, I think he came aboard." Jean says thoughtfully and this was when something didn't sit quite right with you. Commander Lobov is a man that is hard to miss. And with his dedication to this mission to make up for his years being a useless garrison, he would be amongst the soldiers cheering the loudest for the said victory.
Your instincts has never failed you before and its the very reason why you are so good at your job and able to survive this long. But sometimes, you wish that your instincts aren't always right because you always perceive danger. And right now, every fiber of your being is telling you something is fucking wrong.
That if you were to look out the airship right now, you'll probably see the commander lifeless.
Or worse, an enemy may have made its way up to the ship.
Your blood runs cold for a split second before you acted purely out of instinct. You shove Sasha to the side, dreading as you head for the airship's side door and at the exact moment.. someone aboards.
Your gaze met the kid's muddy brown ones. It was determined, filled with fury and you saw that there isn't any trace of hesitation as her finger pulls the trigger. You knew you didn't stand a chance judging by look on her face and her sure aim on your torso. The word of warning you want to let out was caught in your throat as she fires.
You remember seeing those crazed brown eyes and then the ceiling of the airship the next. The sensation of what can only be compared to fire piercing your skin spreads through your chest and insides like molten metal. You hear the indistinct noise of the soldiers' voices grow louder yet muffled at the same time around you.
From happy cheers to manic, hysterical screaming.
You couldn't catch your breath at first and you aren't sure from which. Was it from falling flat on your back? Or was it the searing pain that made tears leak from your eyes?
And then above the chaos, you hear your three closest comrades call your name in unison.
"Lieutenant Y/n, hey!!!" Connie's frantic voice shrill through the limited space of the ship. "Hang in there, hey!" You feel him rattle you, placing his rough calloused hand against your cheek. Jean's panic stricken face comes to your field of vision and you whimper,  "A kid." You gasp. "In the airship."
"Bandages! Now! We need to stop the bleeding!" Jean commands shakily and the rest of the soldiers that aren't capturing the two intruders scramble to get the med kit and the captain.
"Y/n-san, please hold on until we make it to the island!!" Connie pleads but hopelessness crawls his veins as he sees your blood flood the wooden floors.
"Keep him safe." You whisper out to nobody. The captain in mind. Your eye lids grow heavy but you didn't want to close them. No. You can't die. You promised him.
"Don't you dare die on me, Y/l/n." His voice echoes in your mind, compelling you to keep breathing despite how excruciating it feels.
Sasha who was frozen at first, snapped out of her shock as she hears Connie's voice call your name out of sheer panic when your eyes fall close. She then runs to meet the soldier carrying the bandages and was at your side in an instant. With trembling hands, Sasha tries with all her might to wrap you up and stop the bleeding.
"No, no, no, no!!" She starts sobbing while watching the bandage turn red, your gushing blood seeping through no matter how tight she puts the wrap around you. "Y/n-san, no, you can't leave us like this." Sasha hiccups, wiping her tears hastily before grabbing your now cold clammy hand and pressing it to her face. "Please!" She cries, eyes falling close.
If you hadn't pushed her, if you didn't step in her place, it would have been her that got shot. Guilt rakes through her as she watches you desperately fight for your life.
You can feel yourself drifting and you felt helpless. You then meet Sasha's, Jean's and then Connie's gaze, muttering with your remaining strength, "Protect him." And it was no request but an order.
Jean stumbles away, his hands going over his ears, unable to stand your labored breaths and Connie and Sasha's whimpering. Jean felt like hurling when Floch turned the kids to him. The other responsible for you being on the brink of death.
But to those two kids, they are the enemies who wreck havoc to their hometown. Floch wanted to kill them and throw them out but what good would that do? Would taking their lives save yours? And knowing you, who practically treat soldiers like them like your kids even though you were just a few years older than them, you would be disappointed in him at the mere thought of hurting these kids.
Jean can almost hear your angelic voice, "They're just children." You would say. So with a vexed expression and heavy turmoil growing within him, he ties them up and led them to where the captain and commander are.
Jean swallows hard when the captain's cold gaze met his and asks, "Who are these kids?"
By the looks of it, he still does not know.
"They killed Lobov-san and used his gear to come aboard." A lump forms in his throat, suddenly can no longer meet the captain's gaze. "A-and this one here, she.. shot Lieutenant Y/l/n."
Levi's eyes widen. Did he just hear Jean correctly? You? Shot? You were with him just minutes ago. No, how is that possible?-
"Captain, I-I don't think she'll make it." He continues, voice faltering. The grievance in Jean's face make Levi's blood run cold. He stumbles forward a bit as Armin and Mikasa run past him but he seemed frozen in his tracks.
No.
You got hurt but you'll pull through this. You always have. You promised him. And you are one of the toughest people he knows.
Levi tries to convince himself as he glared back at Zeke. He tries to distract himself from the cold fear of losing you with the blinding rage he feels for the Beast Titan wielder. But then, the door swings open again and Levi felt something terribly wrong right away.
And when Connie appears with tears sliding down his face and says,
"Y/n-san.. is dead."
Levi's entire world shifts.
Everyone was shellshocked for a moment. Because how could you be gone just like that? When you were just with them just minutes ago providing comfort to all of them? Passing by and giving them a wave of peace and calmness like the angel that you are.
Hange wobbles, her knees growing weak and its as if someone had punched her in the chest. The pain reminiscent as the day she watched Moblit vanish before her eyes. You were her right hand woman. Her confidant.
Eren's head hung in disbelief. His mind clouded by your kind smile just earlier and telling him you're actually glad to see him. Him. The monster who had just devastated a whole town and killed probably thousands of people. He thought that by now, he'd have gotten used to losing the people around him but losing you is gutting him. Its was like losing family. A sister.
"Connie.. did Y/n-san have any last words?" He asks mindlessly, wanting to know what your last thoughts were. Connie blinks through his tears and his eyes drifts to the captain, whose face was undreadable and knuckles threatening to split open at how tightly his balled fists are clenched.
"She said.. 'Protect him.'" Connie mutters and Levi's facade breaks.
The mob of weeping soldiers parted as the captain staggers to the back of the ship where you lay. Armin and Mikasa were still curled up beside you, their faces red and puffy from wailing. Both of them reluctantly stood up and stepped away as he walks closer. His gaze was still trained on the ground as he puts one foot in front of the other.
He shudders and stop midstep as his foot steps on the crimson stained wood. Before he knows it, he falls on his knees with a thud. Your pale hand comes into his field of vision and he takes a deep shakey breath as he reaches for it. His eyes darts everywhere but your face. The bandage on your middle, the boots on your feet that he had his fair share of shinning as his token of appreciation for you making his morning teas, the emblem of the Wings of Freedom embedded on your breast plate.
Your hand felt cold and stiff against his. A stark contast of the warmth it exuded on his cheek just moments ago.
"Y/n?" He croaks.
Suddenly his breathing shallows as the deafening silence stretches on. He can still smell you but can no longer feel you although you're right fucking there. Levi wanted this to some fucked up nightmare. But then, as he steels his nerves and finally looked at your face, his heart shatters.
Your hair is uncharacteristically dishevelled, e/c eyes lifeless, pupils middilated and your mouth parted ever so slightly.
Levi pulls you in his arms frantically, plethora of would have been and should have been anchoring his heart into a sea of regret.
He should have never let you out the damn door.
He should have held you tighter.
He should have you talked to you longer.
He should have told you.. he loves you.
He never even got to tell you.
Levi's face crumples, face reddening before a resentful yell erupts from him. The soldiers wince at the sound. It was pure agony and it pierces through each and everyone of them, bringing the lot of them back to tears if they ever stopped in the first place.
The entire flight back to Paradis, Levi held you the way he wished he did while you were still with him.

Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness Review (Spoilers)
SPOILER WARNING! 
Just got out of the theater and boy do I have thoughts on this movie and what it could have been.
First, I have to say this one really disappointed. 
Let’s put aside the blatant McGuffin-ing of the various “magic books.”
Let’s put aside how underdeveloped the America Chavez’s plotline was, to the point where she’s basically just there to be a plot device and check the box for “people seem to like the spunky daughter meets grumpy dad plot”, without really understanding what makes that plot fun. 
Let’s put aside the way the movie expects us to care about Strange and Christine’s profoundly underdeveloped and underwhelming relationship.
Let’s put aside the way this movie introduces a complicated new multiverse theory that does the exact same thing as Loki’s time-based multiverse theory, but for some reason seems to be different? (So now we can track infinite multiverses on both the x and y axis, I guess, where x is time and y is idk dreams or something. Are spiders z? or another y? Anyways, if you’re not on the x axis the TVA doesn’t give a fuck).
Let’s even put aside the way the movie throws out the complexities of Wanda Maximoff’s character, developed in the profoundly more successful and interesting Wandavision, with the vague handwave of “Darkhold make you Bad.”
EVEN THEN
This movie is middling at best. Strange himself is largely a medium for snark and quips. He’s told several times what a control freak he is, and how that’s a bad thing, but the “prime” Strange we follow never actually demonstrates that flaw, and is less interesting for it.
But Wanda has always been more interesting than him, and the movie is at its most engaging when it’s a horror movie starring her. 
I think the version of this movie I wanted to see, which would not have been difficult to write, could even largely follow the same plot - is not Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, but Wanda Kills the Marvel Multiverse. Doctor Strange can be there trying to stop her if he has to be. I’ll allow it.
Since we’ve already apparently decided Wanda’s going to go “full bad guy,” let her chew the scenery some more. Let her go full horror movie slasher. Sure she mows through the Illuminati. That was cool! Now I want to see her do it again, to someone that matters.
We’ve got infinite disposable universes and heroes now, let Wanda chew her way through all of them in pursuit of Doctor Strange and whatever McGuffin you have to give him to justify it. They can be second long cameos. Let her use the full extent of her weird and psychological reality warping powers. The disposable nature of the multiverse makes for the perfect excuse to remove the usual feeling of invincibility from superheroes so we can actually dip toes into the dread of the horror genre. 
Let Wanda Westview the Avengers, let her Carrie and Freddie Kreuger and Jason her way through whatever disposable otherworld Marvel teams you can throw at her. You don’t even need to hire the big actors, we already know there’s other Spidermen and Thors and Captain Americas and Hulks and any old suit can be Iron Man. Let her devastate old bad guys, roll through Destroyers, Ultrons, Hydra, people with alternate-world Infinity Stones. She can kill characters you want to set up, or homages to heroes or villains you’ll never touch again. Have fun with it. Get wild, that’s what people want from a multiverse movie.
Not only does making the movie about Wanda give us a chance to revel in her power and anger, and the horror of having her as an enemy, but more screentime can give us an opportunity to find a little depth in her again too. On her way through the Marvel catalogues, does anyone resonate with Wanda, or slow her down for a minute? Does Professor X have a cautionary tale about Jean Grey? What happens if she encounters a Vision, or a Quicksilver? Or her own parents? When she stands off against herself, maybe let that play out a little longer?
I think this movie could have its cake (terrifying uber bad guy Wanda) and eat it too (give her some depth) if they were just willing to make the movie about her. Give her space to actually say something. Then if you have to send her off, it won’t feel like it’s for nothing.
Anyways, if this leaves you hungry for a good multiverse movie, with a deadly omnipotent villain who still has some depth, I highly recommend Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. Sorry this was so long.

Ride With Me
William Tell x gn!Reader
Rated PG-13 for a little bit of vague sexual content, reader is technically a professional criminal (pickpocket), and bad language
1,979 words
A/N: UGH GUYS IM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS CHARACTER AND I SHOULDN’T BE 😩 anyway this is spoiler-free so feel free to read if you haven’t seen the movie yet ☺️ i’m actually really proud of how this one turned out and i really hope you all enjoy it 🥺 as always comments and reblogs are welcome and appreciated!!
Tumblr media
You’ve gotten good at what you do. It took a lot of learning and a lot of practice and a lot of getting kicked out of casinos. You’ve spent more than one night in jail over it.
Petty theft doesn’t get you much time, though, and pretty soon you’re back on the road and picking pockets in some new casino.
You’ve got it down to a science.
Step one, the distraction.
It’s easiest to make a buck off someone at a slot machine, focused on the spinning dials and not on your hands expertly sliding in and out of their pockets without drawing any attention.
Then there’s the good old “sorry I ran into you” method. Bump them hard enough and they’re pissed off enough not to realize their pockets are a little lighter than before.
Step two, the payout.
Cash is your favorite thing to snatch. It’s easy to explain, since everyone carries cash in a casino. Instant payout, you get a wad of bills and you’ve got meals for a couple days.
Chips aren’t bad either, but they take a little more caution. If someone reports chips missing and you show up to cash the exact amount, you’re shit out of luck and banned from a good money well.
Chips you wait a couple of days to cash. Build up a small stash and then cash in a modest amount every time the teller on duty switches.
Chips always come on the last day before you hit the road, because security tends to notice when you cash out more than once a day.
Wallets are a no-go. You’ve tried every way you can think of to make it work, and it doesn’t.
On a few lucky swipes, you got a wallet without getting caught. But they were incredibly rare.
You tried the “sir, you dropped this” method, but they notice pretty quick when all their cash is missing. 
And credit cards are a total bust—the second someone notices it’s missing, they put a hold on it. Not to mention they’re incredibly easy to track, should you actually get the chance to use it.
You can’t remember exactly how you got into this, what led to lifting petty cash off of strangers for a living.
It’s not kleptomania, it’s not like you couldn’t stop yourself if you wanted to.
Truth is, you don’t really want to. There’s something thrilling about a successful lift. It feels like an art form—a talent you continually shape and craft and hone into a skill that you can live off of.
You’ve gotten pretty good at spotting card counters. They walk away with more money than they started with, and that’s pretty rare in and of itself. They keep their pockets a bit more guarded, so a lift off a card counter takes a bit more effort.
But it’s not impossible.
And when you spot him, you know it’s the perfect lift. He’s got his pockets full, not keeping all of his chips in play when he switches tables as to not alert a dealer, but you’re watching. You can tell he’s loaded.
You can tell he’s good at what he does. He’s alert and he wins big, but not so big that it’s suspicious. He’s learned how to not get backed off, which a lot of card counters haven’t.
And he’s handsome. A bit taller than you, graying hair neatly slicked back, leather jacket hugging his broad shoulders. You think maybe you’ll try something different on him.
When he finally takes a break from the tables and wanders over to the bar, you wait a few minutes before you occupy the stool beside him and ask if you can buy him a drink.
“I’ve seen you before.”
Crap. That’s never good.
“I don’t think we’ve met,” you muse, trying to sound nonchalant.
“We haven’t,” he confirms. “But I’ve seen you. Seven different casinos. Atlantic City, Saint Louis, Kansas City, twice in Chicago, once in Bridgeport, and again in Cleveland.” 
Yeah, definitely a card counter. What a pretentious asshole. He’s lucky he’s hot.
“Except, for all of the time you spend in casinos, I’ve never once see you touch a game of any kind.”
He’s really got you figured out, apparently. Or at least, for the most part. You don’t know if it’s creepy or if it’s flattering that he remembers you so vividly.
Now that you’re up close, he does look pretty familiar. You wonder if you’ve emptied his pockets before.
“So, you either run a stable, or…” he takes a sip of his drink—some kind of whiskey, neat— “something less savory.”
You just shrug; he’s a good poker player who can see through a facade, so you know there’s no point hiding how flustered you are. “Maybe I just like the scenery.”
He snorts at that. “No one tours casinos for the fuckin’ view.”
He’s got you there.
He doesn’t push the topic any further though, and that fact should worry you. When someone suspects you some kind of criminal, they tend to back away. The only people who don’t are the kind who are equipped to deal with any curveball that comes their way.
In short, you know from the second William Tell introduces himself to you that he’s dangerous.
And even stranger still, you’re not scared of him.
He’s quite a bit older than you, if the gray is any indication, but that doesn’t stop either of you from talking well past midnight.
And when he walks you up to your hotel room and crowds you up against the door to kiss you goodnight, slipping your hand into his pocket is the furthest thing from your mind—even though this was exactly how you planned to execute the lift.
“What room are you in?” You ask a little breathlessly when he pulls back.
“I’m staying on the other side of town,” he explains. “I don’t like casino hotels.”
“Will I see you tomorrow?”
“No,” he admits. “But I have a feeling this won’t be the last time we see each other.”
And then he’s gone before you can get the sense to drag him into your room and have your way with him.
You leave a bit more empty-handed than you planned to, but the strange thing is that you’re not upset about it. You don’t regret wasting a whole night with William Tell.
It’s another month before you see him again. You head out west for a bit and clear out some pockets in Vegas and California, and then you go back east—to William’s territory.
 You aren’t on the other side of the Mississippi for a full week before you see him again.
This time, he comes up to you; buys you a drink and says earnestly, “I was starting to worry that you were avoiding me.”
“Went out west,” you tell him with a small smile. 
He hums at this new information. “I’ve never played past Vegas before. Any good casinos on the coast?”
“Well, I don’t play cards,” you remind him, and he gives you a knowing smile. “But there are some big winners.”
He mulls your words over for a long moment, staring down at his drink while he plays with the little straw in the glass. “Guess I should check it out, hmm?”
“You should,” you tell him with a confident nod.
He walks you to your hotel room again after a few hours of catching up and exchanging stories.
“Do you wanna come in?” You invite when he has you pressed up against the door again.
He really does consider it for a moment before shaking his head. “I’ve got some work I need to do.”
God, his lips are so soft. You want to feel them all over you body. You’re aching for it, and you can tell he knows it.
But he presses one more soft kiss to your lips and then bids you goodnight.
At least when he leaves, he looks like he genuinely regrets his decision.
You’re half tempted to call him so he can hear you come while calling his name, but you realize you don’t even have his phone number or know where he’s staying.
It’s infuriating, the effect he has on you after only knowing you for what amounts to be two days.
Two days, and yet for the entire intervening month he occupied your thoughts every time you had a moment to yourself.
You’re more than a little surprised to see him at the blackjack table when you go downstairs into the casino the next day. He doesn’t strike you as the kind of guy that likes to spend more than a day at a time in one place, and you can’t help wondering if maybe he’s stayed for you.
He has. He doesn’t like getting attached to people that he doesn’t know well, but there’s something different about you. Something entirely captivating, and while he’s a little afraid of the feelings he has for you, he’s also intoxicated by them.
“You know, you never did tell me what you do at all these different casinos.” 
You bite your lip when he brings it up over dinner. Part of you doesn’t think that he truly cares, but he’s curious. You’re a mystery to solve, and he doesn’t like unknowns.
“If I show you, do you promise not to… like, freak out?”
“‘Freaking out’ isn’t a reaction I possess for most things.”
You give him a small smirk at that. “You never know.”
He watches intently as you make a circle around the casino, making sure you stay in view of where he’s perched at the bar nursing a Jack and Coke, neat.
“Christ,” he mumbles when you return to your seat next to him. “You make more in a day than I do with half the effort.”
“Hey now, there’s a lot of effort that goes into not getting caught,” you explain with a defensive tone. He just gives you a smile that tells you he’s just teasing.
“That first night, you approached me,” he points out. “But you didn’t pick my pockets.”
You can feel some heat rising to your face at his suspicion, but you shrug as nonchalantly as possible. “I was going to. But I liked you.”
He takes a sip of his drink, eyebrow raised in a way that makes you clench your thighs together. “Liked?”
“Like.”
Nothing has ever felt better than when he finally presses you into your mattress, tongue probing into your mouth while he pulls at the button of your jeans.
At least, nothing has ever felt better than that until he slides inside you.
He doesn’t seem like the cuddly type, so you’re surprised when you wake up in his arms in the morning. You’re a little surprised he didn’t cut and run. You’re happy he didn’t.
“How did you sleep?” He grumbles, eyes still closed to shield from the sunlight streaming through the ugly red and brown paisley-print curtains.
“Good.” You press a kiss to a mark that you sucked on his chest last night. “You?”
“Better than I have in twenty years.”
He pulls you into the shower for round two, and he finds himself surprised with the fact that the idea of casino surveillance hasn’t worried him at all the entire time he’s been with you.
Maybe he shouldn’t trust you so much, after learning what you do for a living.
But he had a feeling that very first night, and he’s normally a pretty good judge of character.
He swallows a bite of egg at breakfast, looks up and sees how blissful you are even now. “Ride with me,” he offers. “If you don’t have any other plans.”
You can’t help the smile that breaks across your face. “Okay.”
