Thinking something they dare not speak, for what if it is true?
(It's not)
But FUN FACT: Fell often wonders if Red wants to kill him because he brought him back. He wonders if the more he's brought back, the less he is his brother and more of himself- so is it simply his own feelings towards himself? (Also no, it's complicated)

covidsafehotties , a blog dedicated to covid pandemic resources run by a trans* woman, was deleted for "harassment" after mentioning that her abusive, tme roommate had drawn a knife on her. she simply mentioned that this roommate was tme (which does not mean inherently mean transmasculine; iirc this roommate was cisgender), received threatening and harassing anonymous asks for simply stating that she was a victim of transmisogyny, and SHE was the one banned.
edit: here is a [link] to the covidsafehotties discord server; and here is a [link] to a follow-up post i made about certain recurring comments/questions!
edit 2: here is a [link] the new tumblr blog, covid-safer-hotties! in case this one also goes down; to find a better archive of information, make sure to check out nadica's proboard dedicated to covid safety, which can be found at this [link] !
while nadica (blog owner) has privately stated that she is attempting to go through the appeals process, tumblr's email from @staff has made it clear that she as a transgender woman is not welcomed on this site.
just as they have numerous trans* women in the past week.
in fact, she received the exact same email as them, stating that "automatic means were not used to make this decision or identify the content at issue", meaning that real. human members of staff saw a trans* woman being harassed, talking about her experiences as a trans* woman, and banned her for daring to say so.
they even went as far as to state that she "[should not] engage in the unwanted sexualization or sexual harassment of others".
how in the FUCK is her sharing these experiences sexual? how in the FUCK is her being harassed by transmasculine folks on this site sexual??
just a reminder: here are details surrounding tumblrâs NYCCHR Settlement, which is publicly accessible information
Summary of NYC Gov. Settlements [ LINK ]
NYCCHR Settlement Documentation [ LINK ]
in case y'all really want to raise a stink over the "queerest site on the internet" raising their transmisogynistic paws (again). and from nadica herself:
" Can we all appreciate that even beyond the transmisogyny of the likely scenario, that this person disliked a single acronym [re: tme] I used so much that they got the most [active] and interacted-with covid blog on the site banned. i can't imagine being so cruel and thoughtless about any resource "
as a tme person, i stand with every fucking trans woman and transfem that tumblr has banned from this site for existing within the content guidelines. i stand with every fucking trans woman and transfem who has been harassed, stalked, and booted from this site because the moderation staff refuses to do SHIT about it.
and i stand with every other group who faces the same treatment. the dozens of black bloggers. the dozens of indigenous bloggers. the dozens of palestinian bloggers.
tumblr is not the queerest corner of the internet. it is not a safe space. and if i get banned for saying that, then fuck it and fuck every one of y'all who let it happen.

what's that sound?
includes: nsfw! continuation of my college athelete!choso linked here. vouyerism, oral sex(f receiving), somewhat bottom choso, p in v, unprotected sex, choso is a little pervy, heâs never eaten pussy before either, choso cums from hearing i love u then he gets a little emotional. heâs just a loser!!!!!
word count: roughly 3k
a/n: we r so back!!!!
choso has been at his best since he met you.
ever since you two got together, he's been much different. not just to youâto everyone! thereâs a pep in his step when he walks, heâs a little more confident when he talks, and heâs even playing better on the field now! (totally not because he knows youâre in the bleachers and heâs trying to look extra cool just for you.)
and it pains him in more ways than one when he has to stay away from you for so long. with the new league about to hit its peak, coaches are adding in extra hours, school work is getting more and more tasking by the day, and only talking to you on the phone for a couple of minutes and texting the whole day is nowhere near enough for him. even though heâs the one that needs most of the space!
youâre so sweet about it too, assuring him youâd be fine and he has to prioritize his sports career. you still show up to the occasional practice to offer a quick kiss before you go home, and you leave him snacks in his book bag when you see it lying around. youâre honestly such a blessing, why is the world so against the two of you right now?
but a single ray of light shines down on Chosoâs dim day when the head coach sends a text that they can have the day off since they played so well in the last game. heâs almost flying out of his class seat right then and thereâhis mind is going straight towards you.
he feels like shit as he makes his way out of the flower shop; bouquet in hand. itâs not much, but he hopes you find it sweet enough that youâll forgive him for how long itâs been since he last saw you. he stood there, individually picking out the best blue hyacinths and white orchids from the bunch, all fresh and neatly wrapped as a sort of poetic apology. you might not even know what it means, but who cares? itâs the thought that counts.
and he feels even weirder driving to your doorstep after all the times heâs run there instead. heâs still nervous even after all the times youâve held him, kissed him, fucked him. youâre just so perfect, who wouldnât be near pissing themselves right now with you behind the door?
heâs carefully sliding the single key you gave him in, pushing inwards after he hears the soft click. fingers tightening around the paper holding the flowers together, he steps in. empty.
what the hell? you should be home right now. itâs Fridayâyour classes end early and your favorite podcast should be up by now. but youâre not here.
chosoâs brows furrow. He peered into the kitchen and checked the downstairs bathroom, the backyard, and even under the stairwell. nothing.
agitation crawls up his neck as hears a muffled noise from upstairs. it's faint; almost impossible to hear, but heâs sure itâs you.
the staircase is barely creaking as he makes his way up insanely slow. his grip on the flowers are tight, almost inhumane as heâs prepared to use them as a weapon. his steps are quick once he reaches the top, deathly silent but still quick as he closes in on the cracked open door of your room. the noises are getting slightly louder, more frantic and they sound less like pain and more like moans. moans..?
chosoâs heart cracks once and he stops dead in his tracks. thereâs no way. he knows heâs been gone for a long time, but it hasn't been that long, right? fuckâyou said you loved him, you said it so many times, you wouldnât cheat on him so quick. you wouldnât cheat on him at all. so why are youâ
âf-fuck cho.. miss you s-so much..â
oh.
oh.
oh.
the blood flow in Chosoâs legs finally picks up once again, and heâs noiselessly pushing himself against the wall right next to your doorpost. heâs craning his head so far to the side, but he can finally see it. he can finally see you. and holy shit, he might have just cum in his pants.
your legs are spread, bed facing the door as your fingers disappear into your cunt. your shirtâhis shirt is pulled up right under your chin, leaving your cute tits out in the open as you harshly tug on one of your own nipples.
the view is stupidly mesmerizing, and choso catches himself just before he starts drooling at the sight of you. heâs not even paying attention to how hard he is, heâs completely entranced by every little action. the way your body is twitching, how your fingers are moving, how your eyes are pressed tightly shut as you cry out his name.
choso is genuinely about to lose it. he just wants to crawl over there and eat you whole, in more ways than one. but heâs practically glued to the spot; heâs even holding his breath just to not ruin the moment!
but heâs getting knocked out of his incomprehensible trance when you let out a particularly irritated groan.
itâs so annoying. you havenât been able to cum once since your boyfriend has been scarce. itâs not like you tried anyway, youâd much rather have him pump your orgasms out of you like he seemed to love doing. but itâs been so long, and youâve been so sexually frustrated that you had to turn back to playing with yourself like this.
itâs not that you couldnât call him, youâre almost a hundred percent sure heâd run all the way to you if he was on the other side of the country. but you didnât want to bother him too much. his schedule has been overflowing with activities and heâs probably so busy, you didnât want to seem inconsiderate! so youâd settled on seeing him when you knew he was free.
but this is getting way too bad, and youâre sure youâd start losing sight in your left ear if you donât get it out right now.
so against your better judgment, youâre using your free hand to reach over to your phone, banking on the fact that his voice will be enough to get you off. he doesnât have to know, right? And plus, you can always tell him later when you feel less guilty.
it doesnât take long for you to find his name surrounded by hearts in your contact list and youâre calling without a second thought. it takes a couple of seconds before the line actually starts to ring.
the loud noise from Chosoâs back pocket startles him so much that he drops the flowers heâs forgotten heâs holding. heâs silently cursing himself amidst the noise of his phone singing out, and now heâs lost on what to do.
you speak first though, voice breathy and low as you call out his name. he bites down on his lower lip, slowly stepping into the entrance of your room. you bite back a laugh despite the obscenity of the whole thing. he looks like a kid who got caught with their chubby hand down the cookie jar, heâs just way too cute!
âwere you watching me, cho?â
almost immediately heâs a stuttering mess of excuses and apologies. he swears he didnât mean to, he just wanted to surprise youâhe just got a little carried away!
and you canât hide your smile as you shut him up, gesturing for him to come closer. youâre sitting up now, more covered than before as your shirt rolls down.
you pat the space beside you, signaling for him to come over. it feels like ages, almost eons when your bed finally dips from his weight, but heâs still so far away. itâs definitely an improvement from the first time he came over, but you need him much closer than he is.
you can see his body tense up as you shift closer. heâs still avoiding your eyes, finding the floor much more interesting than the face of yours he always says he canât get enough of. your fingers are giving his bicep a reassuring squeeze as he apologizes once again. youâre not upset. nowhere near evenâthis might have been the best possible outcome. but if heâs all mopey like this, neither of you will get anywhere.
âyâknow, i donât mind you watching me.â
you can feel him physically cringe at your words, but youâre not done just yet.
âso, you can keep watching me, orâŚâ
his eyes finally meet yours after what feels like an eternity, waiting for you to go on. there you go.
âor?â
ââŚyou can help me.â
quite literally, you can see the gears turning in that silly little brain of his. but heâs choosing to forgo an actual response, pressing his lips against yours instead. you canât help the moan you let flow out of you, and heâs grunting in response, arms closing around you hard so he can push you onto your back once more.
chosoâs kisses are heavy and full of need, tongue dancing around yours as his fingers graze the exposed skin of your thighs. you feel so good under his rough palms, he canât help but try to soften his touch. he doesnât want to hurt you! after all, youâre his most prized possession. he has to take care of you in every way he can.
and youâre half expecting his fingers to replace yours as they were a couple of minutes ago, but heâs pulling back with a sharp huff. youâre lazily opening your eyes, gaze connecting with his again as you start to notice the tips of his ears are a burning red.
âcan i... i want to taste you. please.
even with his eyes still trained on yours, his entire face is flushed. even after all these months, heâs still as nervous as ever.
you offer him a welcoming smile and nod. heâs clearing his throat as he moves away, making quick work of getting his shirt off before settling between your legs.
and heâs a little overwhelmed coming face to face with your pussy like this. he knows youâre watching him, and heâs watching your essence drip out and down your cunt as he thinks. heâs racking his brain, trying to think of the best way to approach this. but your hand guiding the back of his head closer towards your aching heat is all the encouragement he needs.
once his tongue comes in contact with your slick, his eyes fall shut. you gasp at the experimental licks heâs giving you, warmth of his tongue sending jolts all the way down into your toes as he groans at how sweet you taste.
heâs catching on with lightning speed, lightly dipping his tongue into your entrance between every couple of strokes from his tongue. his nose is bumping your clit just right, and youâre tugging at his hair quite harshly as he continues to suck at your hole.
itâs his tongue going deep into your cunt that has you arching off the bed, nails digging into his scalp as your thighs close around his ears. his strong hands are only wrapped around your thighs, locking you tight in place as he ravages his new favorite meal.
and the tip of his tongue is starting to invade your sensitive spots as he fucks it in and out of you, wiggling it around when heâs sure itâs as deep as he can go so youâre arching high off the bed. youâre desperately trying to push him awayâyouâre not sure you can handle all this! but choso is too far gone; heâll apologize later. right now, heâs going to get a fill of this flavor heâs been missing out on for weeks.
but even with your pleas and cries, choso doesnât stop. youâd think heâd gone deaf from how hard your thighs were pressing on his ears. truth is he can hear you loud and clear. he just wants to make sure he gets every single drop of your release down his throat.
heâs only had a sneaky taste of it after he helps you finish on his fingers. when youâre finally off the high and sleeping wrapped in his arms like a baby, heâll bring his digit to his lips, childishly licking at them to get whatever remnants are on his fingers onto his tongue. but it wonât be long before pangs of guilt and shame cover him, and his hand will settle right by your side.
but now? thereâs no way heâs about to give this up. he can feel it. the way youâre tightening around his tongue, how your moans are starting to crack just like they always do.
and heâs right because your thick release is hitting his throat in no time, flooding his mouth as he slurps up every last drop.
when he finally lets you free from his vice grip, youâre both panting and sweaty. his chin is entertained covered in your release. you can barely keep your eyes open, but you can hear how choso is fighting to get rid of his pants next.
itâs not long before Chosoâs lips collide with yours in a much softer kiss. heâs been slightly⌠satiated. but his boner is getting more painful by the second, and he misses the way you envelop him so dearly.
he doesnât break the kiss as he hooks his elbows under your knees. heâs pushing up, not stopping u til your calves are rested perfectly against his shoulders. he didnât know you could bend like that. you didnât know you couldnât bend like that. but both of your trains of thought are broken when he finally pushes into you. a short string of curses falls from his lips when you clamp down around him just like you always do.
and regardless of how impatient heâs been all this time, choso never fails to fuck you properly. his thrusts are calculated and deep, each one making your entire body twitch under him.
you never fail to give him the praise he deserves either, telling him heâs doing so well they turn his harsh grunts into weak whines.
but he loses all composure when you call him âmy good boyâ. you can swear you hear him sob, but the noise gets drowned out fast by the sound of skin slapping as he picks up the speed of his hips
your eyes are crossing, fingers dipping into his shoulders when his pelvis starts to brush your overstimulated clit. heâs hitting everything so right, deep whispers of your name breezing through your head as he pounds into you.
youâre practically an inch away from getting fucked into a concussion but itâs the least of your worries right now. youâve missed thisâyouâve missed him. itâs the moments where heâs so raw with you, no masks of shame or fear covering how he truly feels that you love the most. this is the cost that you love.
but youâre still a human being, and one with limits. your orgasm is bubbling hard in the pits of your belly, so youâre tightening your own hold on him, mumbling about how youâre getting close. and you barely last another five seconds before a stupidly broken âi love youâ falls from your swollen lips.
those three words are sending choso over the edge so fast he canât help the strangled noise that comes from his throat. those words are pumping energy throughout every vein of his body, and even through his orgasm, he doesnât stop his movements. his face is digging into your neck as he rides out the rest of his high, tears dripping onto the skin of your collarbone.
youâre so confused when you recover, that you donât know what to say! all you can do is shush him, dragging your fingers calmly through his messy strands as you try to calm him down. even through his fit, heâs still apologizing and it breaks your heart over and over. all you can do is press a sweet kiss against the side of his face and tell him how cute he looks with his face all wet like this. then he remembers.
heâs returning to your sides within seconds, setting the bouquet carefully in your arms before explaining what itâs supposed to be. theyâve already been out for quite some time though, so youâll need to take them downstairs to place in a jar before they start to wilt too badly. but youâre in no state to walk like this.
so choso is scooping you up bridal style despite your protests and carrying you down the steps. he only puts you down to place you in front of the kitchen sink as he moves around to find a suitable container. itâs adorable you think, how proactive he is about this. but heâs done pretty quickly, and all you have to do is lean over the basin and push the jar onto the sill.
which you do with a gasp because heâs pressing onto your back, wrapping his arms around your waist. but thatâs not what catches you off guard, itâs how hard he is. and with the way his hand is trailing down between your thighs, you know you donât have long before youâll be getting filled up again.
if you think youâve missed him, you have no idea how much heâs missed you. and even with that, heâs so considerate! he knows how tired your legs must be, so heâs keeping you up with his vice-like grip as he fucks into you from behind right in front of the kitchen window. your brain's been turned to mush a long time ago, you donât even care if your neighbors see you like this. all thatâs on your mind is how bruised youâre going to be when choso finally lets up, and how much cum he can pump into you until he has to go for his next practice.

So, Sacha Baron Cohen recently endorsed Kamala Harris in a fittingly racist islamophobic manner, by bringing back his character Borat. Yes, it's 2024.
Anyway, here's a 2022 investigation of SBC's vile Zionism and connections to the USA and Israeli intelligence, as well as an insight into the role of the US-American cinema as a propaganda tool.
Article: https://www.mintpressnews.com/closer-scrutiny-reveals-close-state-power-sacha-baron-cohen-really/279355/
Archived link: https://archive.is/7dSTL
Some quotes:
When asked about the national security stateâs role in shaping pop culture, the former intelligence officer [John Kiriakou] said that it is âfar more cynicalâ than most people realize, explaining:
â There is a branch inside the CIAâs Office Of Public Affairs whose job is solely to work with Hollywood Studios. This is something that the FBI has been doing since the 1940s. Theyâll cooperate and give the red carpet treatment to any Hollywood studio thatâs willing to make the CIA look good. â [...]
In the end, âBrĂźnoâsâ production company did interview someone they claimed was a terrorist (in the Letterman interview, Baron Cohen described the man as such eight times in the space of three minutes). However, the person in question â Palestinian grocer and NGO worker Ayman Abu Aita â vigorously denied he was a terrorist at all. He claimed that Baron Cohen had told him the interview would be about his peace activism and that his life and business had been destroyed as a result. Abu Aita sued for nearly $100 million. The case was settled for an undisclosed sum in 2012. [...]
Even from an early age, Sacha was reportedly obsessed with the Jewish state. âHe was very Zionist, very involved in Habo,â recalled one friend, referring to Habonim Dror, a left-wing Zionist group of which he was a member. Others remembered him as âa very nerdy, very funny, Israel-oriented guyâ who went to live on a kibbutz in his youth. He appears to idolize Shimon Peres, traveling to meet him in 2012 and sharing quotes from the former Israeli president on his social media accounts. Peres, of course, oversaw the genocide of Palestinians in 1948, attempted to sell nuclear weapons to Apartheid South Africa, and carried out the ethnic cleansing of the Galilee region. [...]
Unsurprisingly, Baron Cohen has also campaigned fiercely against the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, presenting it as viciously antisemitic. âBoycotting? Yeah, fantastic. As long as they are Jews, it is alright. Iâm not a racist, but keep the Jews out,â he said, in an attempt to satirize their position. [...]
Much of the movie is actually spent âon locationâ in âKazakhstan,â where Borat takes the viewer around an unimaginably poor-looking village, making fun of how backward âhis peopleâ are. There are no Western egos or ignorance being punctured here. In fact, it was shot in a gypsy encampment in Romania, where locals were paid around $3 each to be humiliated by a man who spoke to them in a language they did not understand. The villagers were told they were appearing in a sympathetic documentary highlighting their lives. âBoratâ made over $262 million at the box office. [...]
The racism was further amplified with the 2020 release of âBorat Subsequent Moviefilm.â Within the first two minutes of the sequel, Borat informs us that Kazakhstan has canceled their traditional event, âthe running of the Jew,â but fortunately his country still has Holocaust Remembrance Day, âwhen we commemorate our heroic soldiers who ran the camps.â Borat also received an award, which he stated will be âput in our national museum along with other treasure we have confiscated from Jews.â [...]
In actual fact, as many have pointed out, Kazakhstan was a haven for Jewish people during the Holocaust, not a perpetrator of it, saving thousands of Jewish lives by taking in people from Eastern Europe and other states of the U.S.S.R. Today, the country is commended by Jewish groups as a model of tolerance. It is also, notably, not a helplessly sexist nation; Save The Children ranked it higher than the United States in its list of best countries to grow up female.
This is a rather inconvenient truth for the Israeli state-building project Baron Cohen supports. Ironically, perhaps the most shocking and newsworthy case of exposing bigotry Baron Cohen has documented has never been revealed. While in character as BrĂźno in Jerusalem, Baron Cohen was beaten nearly to death by an enraged crowd of homophobic Israelis, who, angered by his camp and sacrilegious attire, started stoning him, on camera. Baron Cohen was reportedly ânearly killed.â Kiriakou told MintPress that Baron Cohen told him that a rabbi even spat on him. It was the only time in his career that he broke character and desperately yelled that he was an Israeli Jew, not a homosexual foreigner. The comedian fled for his life and found refuge in a nearby store bathroom. This footage has never seen the light of day. Perhaps it sends the âwrongâ message.

Bradford Has a Princess
I used one of the amazing Tim Bradford ideas posted by @nevereclipse for this!! I hope you like it and it's along the lines of what you were thinking!âşď¸
Pairing: Tim Bradford x younger(24-26y/o)!fem!reader
Summary: Tim Bradford is whipped for you, treats you with nothing but the best princess treatment, and when his fellow officers call him out on it, he realizes how he truly feels about you.
Warnings: fluff! princess treatment and Tim being a SOFTIEâ˘
Word Count: 1.6k+ words
You blow your hair out of your face before you tug it painfully behind your ear.
âEasy,â your boyfriend mutters, reaching over carefully. He gathers your hair much gentler than you had, pulls it loosely behind your ears, and uses the hair tie he wears around his wrist to secure it. âBetter?â
You hum before you say, âThank you, Tim.â
His hand moves down your back, resting comfortably against the base of your spine. After you finish your project, you take a paper towel from the nearby roll and wipe your hands.
âNeed anything else?â Tim asks.
You smile over your shoulder as you rest against Timâs chest. Heâs older than you, and though some people might frown upon your relationship, you love him, not only because of the selfless way he treats you. Tim places his arm around your shoulders, then uses his free hand to pull your hand closer to him. He traces his thumb over your knuckles, then looks at your nails as his calloused palm holds you like you are the most precious thing in his life, in the world.
âI can make you an appointment at the nail salon you like,â he offers. âTuesday?â
Tim shifts his hands, running his fingertips up and down your palm as he smiles.
âI can wait,â you answer. âI actually saw a kit online that lets you make your own nail art. Maybe I should try that next time.â
âSend me the link.â
Tim kisses your temple, then twirls the ends of your hair around his fingers. He decides he could spend forever here and wouldnât even care what his friends thought about it.
âTim!â Angela calls. âWeâre all going to Andreâs.â
âActually,â he begins.
âNo, you skipped out the last three times, youâre coming with.â
âNo arguments,â Nyla adds. âWe might even make you pay.â
Tim sighs, his shoulders dropping as he nods. He follows them out of the station and is unsurprised to see Lucy, Nolan, Aaron, and Wesley waiting in the parking lot.
âTim, youâre coming too?â Wesley asks. âI thought youâd finally sworn off fraternization.â
âHa ha,â Tim deadpans.
âCan I ride with you?â Aaron asks. âMy carâs getting a new wrap and Wesleyâs backseat is a little tight with the carseats.â
Tim doesnât answer but doesnât say no, so Lucy nods and encourages Aaron to go. Aaron climbs into Timâs passenger seat and buckles his seatbelt without a word.
âOh,â he exclaims as Tim backs out of the space. âWhoâs the Dior lip gloss belong to?â He lifts the tube out of the floorboard and recognizes it as part of a set his mom has. âThis is expensive, they must be missing it.â
âShe knows itâs here,â Tim grumbles, extending his hand to take it.
âYour sister?â Aaron guesses as Tim places it in the center console. He sees several other items, like a scrunchie, a receipt, and powder.
âNone of your business,â Tim snaps. âWhy are you getting an expensive car wrapped, anyway?â
âBecause I can.â
Tim and Aaron fall silent, Tim thinking about you as Aaron wonders if the others know about the woman taking up space in Tim Bradfordâs truck and in his life.
During your next date night, Tim opens the door for you, then wraps his arm around your waist as you enter the restaurant. He moves to his left to stand slightly behind you as you wait to be seated, and you smile over your shoulder at him.
At your table, Tim pulls your chair out for you, but you stop before you sit when someone says his name. You turn, and Timâs shoulders tense beneath his blazer.
âAngela,â he greets tightly. âWhat are you doing here?â
âIâm on a date,â she answers with a smile. She looks at you before she asks, âAnd you?â
You sense the tension and interrupt to introduce yourself. You provide your name and shake her hand, then look to Tim.
âMy girlfriend,â he tells Angela. âWeâre on a date, soâŚâ
âIâll ask more later then. I mean that Timothy, you have a lot to tell me.â She turns toward you again and says, âNice to meet you.â
âYou, too.â
Alone, you take Timâs hand across the table and apologize for interrupting him and his friend. He promises that he wasnât bothered by that and assures you that he wasnât avoiding introducing you on purpose but was just surprised. You fall into easy conversation, as usual, and the date is over far too soon.
When the waiter leaves the check on the corner of the table, you ask, âGoing Dutch?â
âGoing insane if you think Iâm letting you pay for a date,â Tim mumbles before speaking up to say, âMy treat.â
Tim offers his blazer before you walk out into the windy Los Angeles night, and you wrap your hands around his arm as he leads you to his truck. Youâve never felt as loved and as cherished as you do with Tim Bradford.
As you enter Timâs house, he uses your joined hands to pull you back toward him. He dips his chin, gesturing for you to sit on the couch, then lowers to the table before it. With a gentle touch, Tim runs his hands down your leg, from your knee to your ankle. After he hooks his finger under the strap of your heel, he pulls your foot up, resting your calf on his knee to unhook the small buckle against your ankle and remove your shoe. He repeats the process with the other shoe, then lays his hands on your knees and leans forward.
âHi,â you whisper with a smile.
Tim smiles in the proximity, then runs his hands up your legs to rest on your thighs.
âI love you,â you add.
âI love you,â he replies before he moves beside you on the couch, cups the back of your neck in his hand, and pulls into a kiss that proves it.
Tim stops mid-step as he enters the roll call room the following morning. Angela and Aaron are perched atop the tables to watch him with matching looks.
âWhat?â Tim asks.
âYou have a girlfriend,â Angela says.
âThat Iâm thinking you bought Dior for,â Aaron adds.
âWho are you and what did you do with Timothy Bradford?â
âYes, I have a girlfriend, and I bought her some makeup,â Tim admits. âWhatâs the big deal?â
âThe big deal?â Aaron repeats incredulously. âYou, Tim Bradford, are whipped.â
âHe took her to an expensive restaurant last night,â Angela tells Aaron without looking away from Tim. âI bet he footed the bill, too.â
âThere is no reason to be discussing this at work,â Tim points out. âSo, drop it.â
âDrop what?â Lucy asks from the doorway.
One word, Tim mouths to Aaron. Aaron nods, but Angela smiles. Tim knows he has no power over her, but when she changes the subject, he sighs and nods once. Sheâll bring it up again when he least expects it, but for now, the ânewsâ of his âbeing whippedâ for you is contained. He isnât ashamed of you, of course, but some things need to be private.
Immediately after walking into Timâs house, he kisses you so hard that you can feel the sticky texture of your lip gloss as it smears from the corners of your lips and onto your chin. When he pulls back, holding you up as you blink at him, breathless, he uses his thumb to wipe away the shiny mess he made.
âI missed you too,â you say.
âI was told today that Iâm whipped,â Tim replies.
You furrow your brows, and Tim taps his knuckle against your forehead and smiles as he shakes his head. You relax but hold his side as you wait for more information.
âAaron and Angela know about you, and he told me I was whipped. I realized that heâs right.â
Terrified that Tim is about to break up with you after this realization, you pull your bottom lip between your teeth. He huffs and tugs it free.
âI am more in love with you than I ever dreamed of being capable of. SoâŚâ
Tim is clearly trying to find the right words, and you smile as you offer, âIncandescently happy?â
âCompletely and incandescently happy,â he agrees. âI love you.â
âI love you, too.â
Tim smiles, then notices he disturbed your outfit with his sudden affection. He tugs the ridden-up fabric down over your hips before dragging his fingertips along your upper arm to fix your top.
âRemember when you bought me the makeup wipes?â you ask.
Tim nods and inquires, âDo you need them?â
You try to contain your smile but fail. âNo, you just proved you can take off lip gloss without them.â
Tim tugs you closer, hooks his arms under your hips, and lifts you up. You gasp in surprise before gripping his shoulders. After he carries you to the kitchen and sets you on the counter, he takes your shoes off and stands between your legs.
âShould I make dinner or are you going to keep distracting me?â
You tap your finger against your jaw and pretend to ponder the question. âThat depends⌠will your friends still be okay with this relationship when they find out youâre a cradle robber?â
âMaybe I should give you back then.â
You pout, and Tim kisses your forehead before he turns away. He passes you a bouquet of red roses, then sets a glass of your favorite beverage beside you. Itâs the response you hoped for, and after you gently place the flowers aside, you pull Tim closer by his collar and smile against his lips.

Oh, bestie, I feel you on this. Balancing hustle and chill vibes is so important when youâre in that âlevel-upâ era, especially with the Lovers card as your overall energyâitâs giving alignment and divine choices. Hereâs the tea:
First, trust that this new career opportunity isnât just a job; itâs a gateway to something magical. Your next lover is literally waiting for you on the other side of this. Like, how iconic is that? The universe is basically screaming, âThis is part of your glow-up!â
But letâs keep it real: grinding too hard can mess with your flow. So, schedule your downtime like itâs a business meetingâwhether thatâs journaling, bingeing your fave show, or vibing out with a playlist that makes you feel main character energy. Chill time isnât lazy; itâs necessary. You canât pour from an empty cup.
When it comes to hustle, think of it like this: show up and give your best, but donât overthink it. Be intentional, not overwhelmed. Remember, the Lovers card is also about harmonyâso treat your hustle like a love story. Be passionate, but know when to step back and breathe.
And hereâs the real plot twist: this opportunity isnât just about meeting them. Itâs about meeting the next, more evolved version of you. Theyâll love that version of you, and so will you. So take the leap, but keep your soul soft. Youâve got this. â¤ď¸

PILE 2
Okay, imagine this: when you hit your full potential, your life looks like the perfect balance of confidence and rest. Youâve worked hard to know your worth and never settle, and now youâre living in a way that matches that energy. Think quiet mornings in a space that feels so you, reflecting on your growth while sipping your favorite coffeeâunbothered and untouchable.
But hereâs the thing: getting there doesnât mean youâre grinding 24/7. Youâll learn that slowing down is the power move. For example, instead of saying yes to everything, youâll get super intentional about what aligns with your long-term goals. If an opportunity feels off or doesnât match your vision, youâll confidently pass, knowing that better things are waiting.
That self-love youâve mastered? Itâll make you a magnet for respect. People will see how deeply you value yourself and will match that energyâor theyâll fall off, and honestly, you wonât care. Itâs like youâll finally be surrounded by relationships, jobs, and opportunities that deserve you because youâve set the bar so high.
Hereâs the practical advice: stay open to adjusting your plans, even when itâs uncomfortable. Sometimes, what looks like a setback is actually setting you up for something bigger. For example, if one path feels blocked, donât fight itâpivot. Trust that your ability to choose yourself will always lead you to the right place.
And donât forget to rest without guilt. Itâs okay to take breaks to recharge because thatâs when your best ideas will come to you. Picture yourself booking a solo trip, splurging on the nicest accommodations, and using that time to dream even bigger while staying grounded in gratitude. Youâre leveling up and protecting your peace, and thatâs the ultimate glow-up. đąâ¨

PILE 3
Alright, picture this: once you hit your full potential, your life is like a perfectly designed blueprint, executed flawlessly. Youâre running the showâwaking up early, knocking out your goals, and moving through life like you own it. Your schedule is tight but purposeful, and everything you do feels like a step toward something even bigger.
Youâll probably have this fire inside you to keep starting new projectsâlike launching that dream business or taking on leadership roles that actually challenge you. People will look at you and think, Wow, theyâve really got it together. But behind the scenes, youâll know itâs because youâve built systems for yourself that work. For example, you might have a weekly ritual where you plan every detail, from career moves to self-care, so nothing feels chaotic.
That being said, youâll need to make space for the unknown too. Life wonât always go exactly as planned, and thatâs okay. Think of it like this: when things feel uncertain, donât freeze up. Instead, take a moment, check in with yourself, and adjust. For example, if a big opportunity comes up and doesnât look like what you expected, lean into itâit might just be the thing that pushes you further than you imagined.
And hereâs a practical tip: track your progress. Maybe itâs a journal where you write down your wins every day, no matter how small, or a calendar where you block out âme timeâ just as seriously as work tasks. The key is staying grounded while keeping your eyes on the horizon.
Your focus on success will still fuel you, but itâll feel balanced. Imagine being so confident in what youâve built that you can finally relax a little, knowing that your foundation is unshakable. Youâre not just surviving anymore; youâre thriving. And itâs all because you created the structure to let your ambition flow without burning out. đĄ

Okay, so hereâs the vibe: when you hit your full potential, your life is gonna feel like this beautiful balance of self-love and success. But hereâs the thingâyouâve been carrying a lot, especially with your siblingâs struggles. Itâs tough because you want to help, but you have to realize that in order to become the best version of yourself, you have to put yourself first. And I know thatâs easier said than done, especially when you love someone so much and want to see them thrive.
Youâve been trying to fix things, trying to heal others, but you canât keep pouring from an empty cup. Youâve been holding onto a lot of emotional weight, and thatâs been draining you. Itâs okay to step back and focus on your own growth. I promise, youâre not abandoning anyone by taking care of yourself. In fact, the more you work on you, the more youâll be able to help them from a place of peace.
But itâs gonna hurt a bitâletting go of that guilt is a process. Youâll have moments where you feel torn, but trust me, your potential and your future are calling you to take care of you. Your dreams, your goalsâthey matter, and they deserve your attention. Itâs about putting boundaries in place, even if it feels hard at first.
You might not have all the answers right now, and thatâs fine. You donât have to have it all figured out, but youâll get there. Things will come into focus when you start giving yourself permission to live your life without guilt. Itâs gonna feel so freeing once you realize that your own peace and happiness are the foundation for everything else to fall into place.
So take it slow. Focus on your journey, even if it means you need to step away from the chaos a little. You deserve to put yourself first, because the version of you that is fully healed, confident, and at peace is going to be the one that thrives and makes all those big dreams come true. Your success starts with you, and youâre worthy of every bit of it. â¤ď¸

Hihi!! I just read your Sevika HCs and I absolutely love them!! I wanted to know if you could (please) write HCs for Sevika and Vi after an argument with their partner? :) Whether itâs an argument the reader started or they started can be completely up to you! Or you could even do both scenarios if you prefer! đ
Thank you and I hope you have a nice day/evening đ
đ¤Sevika and Vi after an Argumentđ¤
men dni men dni men dni men dni men dni men dni men dni
đ¤Sevikađ¤
I donât think arguments would be common in a relationship with Sevika.
When she locks into a serious relationship, she means serious. She covers all the important bases for a healthy relationship; communication, loyalty, respect, trust, and so much more.
Covering these bases, especially communication, helps to avoid frequent arguments.
It wonât completely cut out the occasional argument though.
When you two do argue, itâs almost always about bigger things. For example, her working so much and not taking much time for herself, or maybe her drinking and smoking.
Post-argument time usually has as âhow can we avoid this in the futureâ moment where you guys have a heart to heart about whatever started the argument.
If you start an argument:
Be prepared to apologize first. And only apologize if youâre really sorry.
You should always finish what you start, after all.
Your apology may be met with an affectionate an eye roll and a huff.
She never stays mad at you for long.
Once you apologize she usually makes space for you wherever sheâs sitting and wraps her arm around just to let you know itâs really okay.
If youâre just apologizing because you feel like you need to, donât. She can see right through you if youâre bullshitting her.
If youâre stubborn like her, sometimes apologizing can genuinely be difficult. She gets that. Which is why her patience with you is a blessing.
Again, when youâre ready to apologize , sheâs affectionate and accepts it.
If she starts an argument:
This woman is stubborn. For her to apologize, it just doesnât feel right.
Sheâs only ever been truly sorry a few times in her life. In the Undercity, living a life like hers, she never had time to be sorry.
Being sorry gets you hurt. It gets you killed.
ButâŚ
Itâs obviously different when itâs you. You arenât a big bad wolf waiting around the corner. Youâre her partner, her ride-or-die.
In the heat of the moment, what she said felt right. It felt like something you needed to hear.
The thought of you feeling hurt by something she said just eats her alive.
She comes to you first.
It isnât anything crazy, usually just a simple, gruff âIâm sorry.â
Sheâs awkward and stiff about it, but completely genuine.
Asks what she can do to make it up to you, if anything.
â¤ď¸Viâ¤ď¸
Violet runs hot. She isnât a loose cannon but somedayâs it can be hard trying to keep all of her emotions under wraps.
This has definitely lead to arguments over petty things like dishes in the sink or eating the last of her favorite snack.
Itâs also lead to arguments about very serious things. Her pit fighting, drinking, and her occasional impulsivity.
Arguments always hit her hard, even the petty ones. No matter how old she gets, arguments always make her feel like a little kid, just waiting for the ball to drop. The ball being losing you.
That feeling of dread, like this argument could be the last, if that makes sense.
Physical touch is usually present in the make up process after an argument. It helps ground her.
The good news is, the two of you always make up very quickly.
If you start an argument:
If the argument is a petty spat about dishes or snacks, she still apologizes first, albeit rather begrudgingly.
This links back to her feeling like this argument could be the last. What if she never hears âYou promised youâd take out the trash this weekâ ever again?
You, however, shut that down. âItâs my fault, I should be the one apologizing.â You tell her.
These arguments are extremely easy to come back from because you two are always on the same level. Two halves to make a whole, equals
There isnât a point in staying hung up on petty nonsense for long.
If you start a big argument, you apologize first.
She distances herself and you have to go to her.
Youâll usually find her someplace where she shouldnât be, like a bar. Or, you might find her someplace safe, like with Loris or another friend she feels comfortable around.
Not only should you apologize, but it would also be a good chance to thoroughly explain why youâre upset or might think something is a bad idea.
Once you do that, sheâll open her arms up to you and usually things can be resolved somewhat easily after that.
If she starts an argument:
Again, she apologizes first.
If she starts an argument, big or small, the dread of possibly losing you over this hits her like bricks.
For smaller arguments, she approaches you casually. If you let her, sheâll wrap her arms around you. An apology hug, if you will.
Says, âIâm sorry, baby,â in the softest voice she can muster.
These smaller arguments are always easier to come back from just because sheâs so sweet. How can you ever stay upset when sheâs such a sweetie?
Big arguments are something else though.
After sheâs said whatever it is that sheâs said, the weight of it all is suffocating.
If she said something really stupid and hurtful in the heat of the moment, she might need some space for a bit. Things like that take her back to that day.
But sheâll come to you when sheâs ready.
May or may not have a little gift for you for extra measure. Usually itâs something simple like your favorite candy bar.
She tells you sheâs sorry and explains why she got so worked up. Usually this leads to a steady and warm embrace and you let her know itâs okay.
hello!!! thank you for the request âĽď¸ please let me know if you enjoyed it or not. i had so much fun writing these. i kind of got carried away with viâs headcanons đ. . i was purposefully vague about what started the argument so you can sort of imagine your own scenario for why the argument started!đ
ask box is open for multiple fandoms and nearly every arcane character! check my pinned for rules, fandoms, and characters. i write headcanons, reactions, drabbles, and more!

â˘~°â Just the Little Human Things â°~â˘
Prompt: Humans and demons are different, no duh. There are some things that we do naturally that shocked and freak out the brothers. Here are some random few (each linked to a specific brother, like 1 means Lucifer, etc).
Characters: Lucifer, Mammon, Leviathan, Satan, Asmodeus, Beelzebub, Belphegor.
⢠~ ° â ° ~ â˘
1. Cracking bones.
You spent a long day dealing with your studies. Your fingers cramped. So you cracked them. Lucifer was appalled. He thought you just broke yourself. Lucifer goes straight to you and asks if you just broke your finger or something along those lines. After calming him down and just explaining that you were popping the air bubbles in your joints because they ached, he was more appalled.
Humans can get air bubbles in between their bones?! That's so weird. Demons can't crack their joints. If they make any cracking noise, they probably cracked their bones.
At least you're not hurt. That is all that matters to him.
2. Adrenaline.
Demons have instincts like humans, but they don't have adrenaline. They have the same amount of strength and power, no matter the situation. No amount of tension will give them a random boost in a fight. Humans do. It's called adrenaline (SHOCKING). Boosting our stamina, pain tolerance, reaction time, and strength. It's like a superpower! A superpower that Mamon was unaware of at the time.
You both were running from trouble, as normal. Even though your body was in its flight or fight, no amount of adrenaline will make you run as fast as the fastest demon in hell! So how was he supposed to know! It was until there was a dead end. The door was locked. Mammon was about to use some magic to open it because the angry demons were very close behind you guys. before he could, BAM! You ram right into it and smash it open
What. The. Hell??? Are you on steroids or something?!
Once you escape, Mammon has so many questions. He now thinks adrenaline is so cool.
3. Being social animals.
Demons aren't necessarily social creatures. Some will go millennias without talking to anything, and they don't go insane. It's just a lot of demons like socialising. Levi is not one of those demons, though. Levi will go some months without speaking to anyone, even some days without speaking to his brothers. He thought humans were the same. He didn't know that it could cause mental issues like insanity or depression.
Levi only found out because he was watching a horror anime, where a human character was isolated for months and went insane. He thought it was fiction, but then he asked you. As soon as yes leaves your mouth, he is in utter disbelief.
Now he feels bad whenever he has you holed up in his room. Don't you want to socialise? He wouldn't mind if you went to party with Asmo and Mammon... At least he'd try not to mind. Are you sure you're okay with just him? Yeah? ... He thinks he is okay with just you, too.
4. Humans on the moon?
When you came to devildom, even though Satan wasn't that close to you, he did research about humans out of curiosity. Satan learnt about human history, myths & legends, science (a.k.a human magic), medicine, and even decided to research human technology.
The only thing he didn't know was that humans went to the moon. When he was doing human history, he was doing ancient human history. Being a demon who was immortal, Satan classed anything from the last 100 years as morden to him. He was alive during it. He should know when it happens. But somehow, no one talked about the humans landing on the moon.
You wanted to know if demons had also gone to space, and he answered with, "No. Some of angels have... What do you mean also?" Humans, flightless and magicless fleshbags, have gone to the stars?!
5. Baby teeth falling out.
Asmodeus wanted to see childhood pictures of you! He was going on about how cute you were until he saw that in one of your photos that you were missing a tooth?! Asmo didn't know you were missing a tooth! He immediately tried to look in your mouth for that missing tooth, but there was a tooth there?! What?! Did you get some sort of tooth surgery?
Demons and angels don't have baby teeth. They are made not to naturally lose any of their teeth, and if they lose a tooth, they have to get a surjery to get it back. So, this concept is crazy to them.
Asmo was thankful it was natural. You made him panic!
6. Stretch marks.
Demons have rapid regeneration, so they don't get stretch marks. The scars just heal immediately as it isn't a deep wound to them.
Beelzebub had no idea humans could get them. He thought some demon attacked or tried to put a hex on you, but once you explained it to him, it blew his mind. Losing or gaining weight causes these marks? Humans are stretchy??? That's cute.
Beelzebub likes running his hand over the marks. It's fascinating to him.
7. Modern medicine.
Belphegor knew a lot about humans due to his human phase when he was an angel. There isn't anything that you do that surprises him. Belphie even knows humans went to the moon because he is an astrology girlie. But he is clueless about morden medicine.
Belphie lost interest in humans when he fell, obviously. He didn't want to interact with humans after his hatred for them developed. So he has no idea about morden human medicine.
Humans don't use frog eggs anymore? They were unsafe? Really? Belphie thought they worked. He did not know humans were just as unknowledgable as he was back then. Belphie learnt after you accidentally got a paper cut, and Belphie said he'd go get the plasters and leeches.
You had to tell him that the leaches were outdated by a few decades.
â˘~°â Have a kind day! â°~â˘

A Tight Fit
Summary: You and Gale are trapped in a locked room, with no space to move. Inspired by @daisyofwaterdeep 's juicy post which I just couldn't resist writing about.
Set early in Act 1, before the tiefling party. Featuring matchmaker Karlach and chaos gremlin Astarion.
Disclaimers: 18+. Mildly smutty. Gale x female Tav/reader.
Word count: 1k
AO3 link
*****
âWell, this is a tight fit, isn't it.â
Crushed between the wall and Gale's heaving frame, you cannot avoid his warm breath on your cheek. You speak into his beard, desperate for space.
âServes me right, for wandering straight through every door I see.â
Gale's chest is flush against yours. His arms flinch in an awkward attempt to avoid your waist and rear. Your own hands are fatefully sandwiched between your bodies. You curl them into yourself, trying frantically to ignore the groove of his groin.
It is not that you have not imagined how it would feel. In the darkness, you have wondered about the taste of Gale's touch, the lilt of those lithe fingers. But only for fleeting moments, sheepish and stolen. You are almost strangers, after all, fledgling friends. And never beyond your wildest dreams would you have imagined this, much less wished for it.
âYour curiosity is one of your most a-door-able traits.â You can feel his smirk on your skin. âOne might even say it's the key to your success.
Your groan is muffled amongst his hair. âI'm glad to see being trapped in a coffin with me brings out your comedic genius.â
âJust getting a handle on the situation.â
Despite the levity, each word of his seems more choked. His ribs jostle against yours. You are surprised by the lean edges of his frame, the force of muscle beneath his robe. As if he senses your attention, he swallows, his eyes darting around you in a frenzy.
You grunt as you manage to wrench one hand free, only to realise in horror that it is cupping the curve of his ass. You cannot help but notice how firm it is. How full. When he jerks at the contact, his leg wedges between yours. Your hand dangles ominously below his hipbone.
âSorry!â He fumbles, his features twisting. âSorry. Gods, I'm sorryââ
âKarlach?â you cry. âAstarion? Are you out there?â
The responding thump on the door rocks the entire room. Gale's thigh spasms into yours. He winces sharply.
âCan you get us out please?â Gale blurts. âNow?â
âHang on, soldiers.â Karlach sounds annoyingly relaxed, even chipper. âThe door locked behind you, and we don't have the key. We can't break it down either, tough bastard.â
âOh look.â The glee in Astarionâs voice is undeniable. âWe've run out of lockpicks. Best go hunt for some more.â
You try and fail to punch the door. A flush has spread from Gale's neck to his cheeks. His blushed earlobe hovers just before your mouth. You can feel his heat on your skin, the rasp of his stubble.
âHurry up,â he pleads. âPlease.â
Gale clears his throat. As he shifts and fidgets, the taut muscles of his chest rub against your breasts. His juddering breaths are hot against your ear, and you are mortified by the ripple through your core, the peaking of your nipples. He wriggles his leg, trying in vain to move it out of the range of danger. But his knee grinds into you instead. You chew your lip.
âThis is simplyâ â he stammers, his throat bobbing â âThis is mostâ I'm terribly sorryââ
He trails off, burbling incoherently. You have never seen Gale so out of sorts. As you writhe clumsily against each other, sweat beads on his brow. You can smell the bittersweet tang of it, layered within the fog of sandalwood and leather, book dust and soap. You wonder if he feels as dizzy as you do. You no longer think it is from the lack of air in the room.
âI should be sorry,â you manage. âI haven't bathed for a week.â
You were hoping for a chuckle, a break in the stiffness between you. But instead, there is a glimmer on Gale's chest. A faint stain of indigo flashes and then deepens. He is glowing. You stare at his blazing orb scar in alarm.
âGaleâŚâ
Gale is coughing. Sputtering. As he twists, pointlessly seeking escape, you feel an unmistakable hardness against your hand. Your eyes widen. Clasped between your hips and his, jerking your hand away only nestles it further in. Your fingers bear down against his bulge.
Gale's eyelids flutter. He bites his lip.
âStop moving,â he chokes, pained. âPlease stop moving.â
For a moment, you do. Your chests rise and fall against each otherâs. Strands of his hair drift over your face as you meet his gaze. His lips are swollen red, parted as he pants.
You are acutely aware of the point of his knee. It surges, ever so slightly, against your cleft. His eyes are dark and desperate, like you have never seen before. You are drunk on the rhythm of his leg, trembling against the pulse of your desire. You stifle a gasp, your nerves unravelling, his breaths catching as you quiver into him. Your fingers move of their own accord, following the thrumming of his need, flickering along his throbbing length.
He moans. You feel it like a wet hot flare through you, his searching mouth lingering over yours.
âPlease,â he whispers.
His hardness twitches towards your touch as you grind against each other. He is groaning, grunting, and you can taste the salt and sweetness of his breath as his nose grazes yours and your lips open to hisâŚ
You tumble backwards as the door swings open, crashing hard against the ground. You lie there for a while, swollen, dazed. Karlach and Astarion loom above you with triumphant grins.
âLook at you, all flushed and breathless.â Astarionâs fangs flash.
Karlach pulls you up with a flourish. âIt's a good job you didn't pass out.â She beams.
Stumbling, burning, you look back into the room. You have a brief glimpse of a tented robe, a guttering purple glow, before Gale lurches away, shutting the door behind him.
âI think he needs a minute,â Astarion chortles.

Relationship Weirdness
Kurt Wagner x GN Reader Headcanon
Funny and Silly established relationship
Masterlist
This Link leads to Kurt Wagner- Or does it???
THE NICKNAME DILEMMA
⢠Kurt has a Love, Hate relationship with the seemingly endless stream of nicknames you seemed to have for him and how you constantly
⢠Sure he had ones for you, but all classic in affection!
⢠Like Schatz aka his treasure, or Engel! He loves calling you Engel, Liebling also, Sweetie too in English
⢠However from you he does get the 'Love' Or 'Babe' but also he gets-
⢠'Fuzzy Butt!', 'Blueberry', 'Sugar Booger-'
⢠Some he was fairly sure one was a drug inudendos as well!
"Schatz- What is will the constant changing nicknames?" He ask you one day after you kiss his cheek and weirdly called him 'Sugar Booger'
"Do you not like them?" You ask, he shakes his head.
"Nein, I like them. It's just- Isn't that a slang? For a bad thing?" He questioned, watching a weird smile goes across your face as you suddently snort up his arm like you'd done a line off him.
"Yes- You my Blue Cocaine"
He stared at you with a deadpan stare, trying to hold back his laughs as he covers his face with his hands.
You're so fucking weird-
PHYSICAL AFFECTION FUCKERY
⢠Kurt's tail has a mind of its own especially with you, so more often then not it will be wrapped around you, sliding up and down your back, sliding across your thighs or trying to find its way into your hands.
⢠He never notices until you reciprocate the affection, often leaving to him being a blushing mess when you run your fingers up the velvet like tail-
⢠He is naturally very physically affectionate so will cuddle you or lean against you most times.
⢠Sitting on the couch? Kurt will slide in right next to you. Making dinner? He will lean his weight on your back and look to see what you're making- Personal Space doesn't exist
⢠While Kurt is Cuddly, You are grabby-
⢠His tail? His fluffy little ears? His sides? All fair game!
⢠Seeing two fuzzy asscheeks in the shower, you see how the hair sort of swirls like a cowlick-
⢠You can't help but touch them-
⢠Earning a loud surprised noise from Kurt as he turns to look at you quite literally messing with the hair on his ass
"Really?-"
THE BEARD ERA!
⢠Kurt is very feline like in nature and the facial hair adds to this as well it seems.
⢠He will like to rub his neck and cheek against you, sometimes giving a growl/rumble as he does so.
⢠You can protest all you want but he will just give you an evil smile and rub his cheek against yours harder before teleporting away to avoid the consequences for giving you mild rug burn on your cheek!
⢠When Kurt's beard starts growing thicker he gets some ingrowns on the part were his neck meets his head so you have to open pin him to get at them-
"Stop being a big baby! It's deep!" You yell as you pin your boyfriend, watching him squirm under you in protest as you get the tweezers closer to the series of bumps.
"NEIN! LASS EN IN RUHE!" He screamed as you get the tweezers to get a big ingrown that protruded from his skin.
"AHHHHHH!!!"
THE FOOD FIASCO
⢠Has very weird eating habits- You often forget he was raised in a circus in Germany so he eats like it too.
⢠AKA Hawaii Toast-
⢠Your mortal enemy and the thing that you are willing the kick box over in terms of the kitchen area. The first time you saw Kurt make it, you almost sobbed at this atrocity towards both Hawaii, Italy, Bread and maybe Humanity
⢠"What the fuck is that!?" You almost cry out as you see the monstrosity on the counter.
"Hawaii Toast-" Kurt says calmly as he butters bread, adds ham, a ring of pineapple and some kraft cheese on top before chucking it into the toaster oven while grabbing some ketchup-
You stare at him in horror as he makes direct eye contact with you and takes a bite of this- monstrosity
⢠He does know how to cook luckily even if he makes Hawaii Toast for himself- Him learning recipes from your culture and you learning from his. As well as taking turns with kitchen duty!
⢠For Drinks- Kurt is the Master! He can open any bottle, he can make the perfect pours! He knows the exact drink you'd like off the top of his head
"You're a fucking Wizard Blue-"
You say in awe as you watch Kurt make you a drink calmly, raising a brow as he opens the beer bottle with his tail like nothing.
"I know~"

âSir, UA has such a strict and well-planned curriculum. What could possibly have been âneglectedâ by the faculty and staff?â
Aizawa smirks at Ida as if the young Engine hero has made a particularly funny joke. He looks out at the class and takes a deep breath before his next statement:
âThis afternoon Recovery Girl and Midnight will be joining us as we discuss a crucial topic. We are going to walk you through an Intro to our Sex Ed curriculum.â
The class is silent. Then, a hiss rises from the back right of the classroom.
âYesssss. Yesss! Finally! Youâre finally granting permission for us to appreciate all of the gorgeous ladies in our class! Itâs my time to shine - â Â Minetaâs unhinged chattering is silenced when Mr. Aizawa easily wraps him in his capture gear.
âDoes anyone else have an inappropriate comment to share?â The teacher asks lazily. The class says nothing. Mineta whimpers pathetically beneath the layers of binding cloth and Erase rHead ignores him.
Thereâs a bright knock at the classroom entrance. Before anyone can answer, the large door flies open to reveal UA staff members Midnight and Recovery Girl. As usual, Midnight is sparkling with energy, smiling devilishly at the class as she glides into the room. Recovery Girl has less flare as she steps into the classroom â her movements are quiet and stiff. The wrinkles on her face tell stories of a lifetime of hero work.
âHello, Class.â The school nurse says as she stands before them all. âIâm so sorry we didnât get to this conversation at the beginning of the year. Thereâs just been so much chaos and injury lately surrounding UA, we werenât able to prioritize the Sex Ed curriculum the way we normally do.â She beams at them, looking pleased to be out of the infirmary for once.
Midnight sweeps her arms out dramatically. âYour changing hormones are no doubt running rampant! Weâre here to tame you little demons. Let me dominate this conversation and teach you the true meaning of pleasure.â
Mineta groans audibly from within his binding cocoon, and a look of disgust flashes across Mr. Aizawaâs face.
âSettle down, Midnight.â He turns to address the class at large. âAs part of the curriculum we will have monthly Sex Ed & Health seminars run by Midnight, Recover Girl and me. During these sessions we will discuss the basics surrounding reproduction, consent, and safety. We will also split into small groups where you can feel more comfortable to ask potentially embarrassing questions.â
âTo kick things off for today, weâre not going to give you the classic âyour bodies are changingâ lecture you get in middle school. Instead, weâre going to set some ground rules for living in a shared dorm space with classmates your age.â Mr. Aizawa shifts on his feet and looks over at Recover Girl, prompting her to take over.
The elderly hero shuffles up to the front of the class and grins up at them through thick coke bottle glasses. âHereâs the deal, kids. We realize that you all live on the campus and that your scholarly lives overlap with your home lives in a new and unique way. This is a unique situation, and we ask that you do your best to prioritize your studies and your health at all times. If you find yourselves struggling with your mental or physical health, we ask that you speak to one of us and we can create a plan together to help you get on track.â
âAdditionally, weâre expecting you to be respectful of each otherâs personal space. You all share a dorm, so between class and dorm life you will be together 24/7. This can be fun since youâre fairly friendly with each other, but eventually there will likely be conflict and disputes. Please come to us for help mediating any tough living situations, we are more than happy to step in and help you sort through challenging relationships.â
âAnd speaking of challenging relationshipsâŚâ Midnight cuts in, tossing her thick purple hair over her shoulder as she squares up to the class. âLetâs talk about dating.â
At this point, most of the classâs faces are bright red. The roomâs vibe has shifted from curious to uncomfortable and awkward.
âMost of you are 16 now, and understandably you may start to take notice of your classmates in new ways. You may want to explore relationships beyond friendship.â Midnight winks at your class meaningfully. âYou are all independent young adults and we canât control how you feel about one another. But unfortunately, we will be enforcing a strict no dating policy this year.â
âWhat!?â Mina and Toru cry out in unison. Midnightâs mouth quirks into a sad smile and she looks over at the girls. âSorry, ladies. We have never had a dorm program before, so there is still much to figure out. Obviously we arenât going to monitor you all 24/7. But we are going to trust that you are all being appropriate in the dorms and respectful of each other. And that means no dating and no physical relationships between students.â You feel your ears burning at those words, you wish you could look over to see Shotoâs reaction. Thankfully, youâre sure that heâs got his typical stoic look plastered on his face.
âRest assured, there will be plenty of time in your life for dating and exploring your sexuality with consenting partners. But for now â you are all students first. Focus on making this year at UA count. Learn all you can and grow into strong, supple young heroes.â
Recovery Girl chimes in, a sweet smile on her face. âDespite our zero tolerance policy surrounding dating and physical relationships between students, we will be educating you on the finer points of consent, protection and building healthy relationships in our monthly seminars.â
Mr. Aizawa releases his hold on Mineta and drags himself back to the front of the classroom alongside his fellow educators. âPlease remember â you are all minors. We want to reinforce that relationships with adults are strictly forbidden. If any adult approaches you inappropriately at an internship, at an agency or in public we implore you to report it to us so we can deal with it and keep you safe. Many people around Japan know who you are due to the televised broadcast of the sportâs festival. Iâm not saying this to scare you â but I want you to be aware that your faces are fairly well known and not every fan that approaches you has good intentions.â He rearranges his binding scarf around his shoulders before looking back out at his class.
âAre there any questions?â Mr. Aizawa scans the room with interest. You turn your head to see if anyone is raising their hand. To your surprise, Shotoâs arm is in the air.
âYes, Todoroki.â Midnight calls on him, pointing at him with her wildly inappropriate tiny leather whip. âWhatâs your question?â
âI donât understand.â Shoto says in his typical flat tone. âYouâre going to teach us about sex but you donât want us to have it?â
And just like that, the tension in the room breaks. The entire class is laughing out loud.
âIâm serious.â Shoto says blankly, not understanding the giggles surrounding him. âShouldnât we be executing practical examples of the knowledge weâre learning? Isnât that how our training works?â Shotoâs brow is creased a bit in obvious frustration, but this just makes everyone laugh even harder. Even Bakugo is joining in at this point.
âWhy Icy Hot â you tryinâ to get laid!?â Katsuki cackles out, adding to the chaos.
âQuiet.â Mr. Aizawaâs quirk activates, his hair rising up into the air intimidatingly. The laughter fades quickly. The teacher decides to take mercy on Shoto. âWeâre going to give you knowledge and background on these subjects so that if you do eventually want to have a physical relationship after graduation, youâll be able to do it safely.â
âThink of it this way.â Midnight says, putting a finger to her chin as she talks it through. âWeâll be teaching you Sex Ed theory. Later on in life you can use what youâve learned and practically apply that theory.â
Shoto still seems a little miffed, but finds this answer acceptable.
âAny other questions?â Recovery Girl prompts.
Mina raises her bright pink hand. âAre the other years allowed to date? Or is it just our year?â
âThatâs a good question.â Recovery Girl says encouragingly. âAs of right now, dating and relationships are off limits for all course levels. However, we have made a few exceptions for members of the senior class who have recently turned 18 and are in good standing with their grades and internships.â
âIsnât the age of consent in Japan 16?â Kaminari raises his hand but doesnât wait to be called on. âMost of us here are 16 â why canât we date?â
âThis is what we have decided on as a faculty. You will abide by these rules.â Mr. Aizawa says firmly, causing Kaminari to shrink back into his chair. âAny other questions?â
No one else raises their hand. âThanks for the time everyone. You all know where to find me!â Recovery Girl waves kindly at everyone as she makes her exit.
Midnight cocks her hip and waves her leather whip around one final time, signaling an end to their awkward discussion. âThanks for listening, class! Iâm excited to take this journey of physical maturation with you all.â And with that, she leaves as well.
Mr. Aizawa looks out at them all, clearly exhausted. He lifts his arm and reveals a small clicker in his hand. He hits the combination of buttons that open up their hero costume closet. âAlright, everyone â get changed and meet at the gym for combat training. Itâs going to be a long afternoon.â
-----------------------------------------
Combat training is exhausting as per usual. Itâs so intense that you donât have the headspace to really mull over all that Aizawa, Midnight and Recover Girl have told you. One big question does eat away at your nerves, though â given the class wide dating ban, will Shoto want things between the two of you to end?
During the training class, Shoto doesnât even glance your way. You ignore him in kind, focusing all your energy on your sparring matches with Tsu and Ochaco. The whole afternoon is intense, your body quickly becoming sore from all the movement. When the bell rings to signal the end of classes, youâre immensely grateful. You troop to the locker room with the other girls and indulge in a long, hot shower.
You have a quick dinner in Class Aâs dorm with the rest of your class, scarfing down some leftovers as you complete some homework at one of the many kitchen tables. Shoto sits down next to you with his own meal and textbooks.
He makes a show of setting up his homework â opening his textbooks slowly and laying out all of his pens on the table between the two of you. As he sets out a pencil, he purposefully flicks it so that it rolls into your bowl of soup. You look up at him in surprise and he flashes you a gentle smile, moving his hand to grab the rogue writing implement. He touches his pinkie to yours for a few seconds as he scoops up the pencil. The light touch sends electricity up your arm and you quickly pull it away.
You know that Shoto did it purposefully by the way he smirks at your reaction. You work quietly next to each other for the next hour, studying in parallel. It feels strangely intimate and strange â itâs almost like in studying next to each other, youâre flaunting your secret for all to see. Part of you keeps waiting for Shoto to turn to you and ask to review the dayâs earlier Sex Ed discussion, but he keeps his head down in his work.
After an hour or so he packs up his books and gets ready to leave. Before he does so, he glances around to ensure that everyone else is occupied before he reaches towards you and draws a small star in the corner of your notebook page. A moment later, heâs gone â marching back to his dorm room with his stack of books and writing instruments.
You stare down at the tiny star, a smile pulling at your lips. Youâre not sure exactly what Shoto intended the star to mean. But youâre sure as hell that if Shoto was breaking off your little hookup arrangement, he wouldnât take the time to scribble a sweet doodle in the margins of your notebook. Maybe you should just text him and ask what he wants to do â what he thinks? You shake your head to clear it before diving back into your English homework.
-----------------------------------------
A few hours later, you end your evening in Minaâs room.
You and Mina are huddled on the floor around Toru, who is drawing out a battle plan on a small white board.
âAlright.â Toru says, concentrating. âHereâs a list of all the supplies we would need to throw a totally-rad-top-secret-awesome party. And here are all of the variables we will need to figure out in order to pull it off in secret â distracting Mr. Vlad King is going to be our biggest challenge. Ugh, and then thereâs Monoma. Weâre gonna need to keep him from blowing up our spot again this time.â
Mina grabs the dry erase marker from Toruâs hand and quickly crosses Monoma off of the list. âHe wonât be a problem this time around.â
You give Mina a questioning look. She waves you off. âWeâll get to that in a minute. Letâs focus on party supplies first. We will need to pick up soft drinks, chips and snacks. We can ask someone to grab paper goods like cups, plates, napkins, etceteraâŚooo we should ask Sato to make some sweets!â
âDo you really think the whole class is going to be up for this? Theyâre all still way pissed about the curfew rule.â You ask skeptically.
âIâve started asking around on the down low.â Toru chimes in, drawing some hearts stars in the corners of the white board. âSo far everyone is pretty interested. I think the class needs a break to blow off some steam. Our course load has been so crazy lately, itâs been a while since we were last able to have some fun as a group.â
âWho did you ask?â Youâre curious.
âDespite some initial hesitance, Ochaco and Tsu are in. They convinced YaMomo to come as well. I think she even said sheâd bring some tea or something. Midoriya is all in, too â heâs going to work on getting the class rep to be cool with everything. Shoto and Tokoyami said theyâd show up if it happened, but they werenât too keen on helping with the planning process. Sero and Kirishima said they can help us with any heavy lifting. Thatâs it so far â Iâm going to keep spreading the word tomorrow.â She notes all of the people who have expressed interest down on her white board.
âWhat about Minetta?â Mina asks, making a clear yuck face. âLike, I know heâs a member of our class. But lately heâs been extra gross.â
âUghâŚyeah we kinda have to invite him, donât we?â You say, thinking back to a time earlier in the month when Minetta tried to smack your ass in the cafeteria. âHeâs the worst.â
Youâre distracted when you feel your phone buzz in your pocket. Itâs Shoto. You turn to read your phone so that the others canât easily see the screen.
Shoto: Hey Y/N. I have been thinking a lot about the Sex Ed class today. Iâm concerned that by continuing together weâre breaking the rules.
Y/N: Yeah, I was thinking the same.
Shoto: To be honest, I donât really care about the rules. I think we should do it anyway.
You smile and warmth bubbles up your chest.
Y/N: Iâm in if youâre in.
Shoto: I'm in đŻ.
You set the phone down, trying to ensure youâre not smiling an unnatural amount.
It buzzes a second time. You flip it over, expecting another text from Shoto. Instead, youâre surprised to find a message from Honenuki.
Honenuki: Hey Y/N! Check out this song, itâs been a favorite of mine lately.
 You click on the link and it immediately takes you to a YouTube video for an old 1960s song. âSome Kind of Wonderfulâ by the Drifters. You hastily click pause before the song can buffer and start playing.
Y/N: Canât wait to check it out!! Hereâs one Iâve been listening to.
You shoot back a Spotify link to the latest Sabrina Carpenter song and put your phone back on the ground.
Honenuki: Sweet, Iâll take a listen!
âOooo whoâs texting you, Y/N!?â Toru puts down the white board so you can all get a clear view of it. She reaches for your phone but you snatch it away before she can grab it.
âNo one crazy. Just Honenuki from earlier.â
You now have Toru and Minaâs full attention. âWhaaaaat!?â They both cry out, scrambling over each other to get closer to you.
âWhat did he say!?â
âDid he ask you out?â
âIs he confessing?â
âOMG does he want you to sneak out of our dorm and over to Class Bâs so he can make sweet love to you!?â
This last comment from Mina brings you all to silence. And then you break into a fit of giggles.
âNo, guys, its not like that! Heâs just nice!â
âOk, ok. We believe you.â Toru waves Minaâs comment off with invisible hands. âAnd its not like any of us can pursue a fated romance anyway. Not with the new ârulesâ that have been announced by Mr. Aizawa, Recovery Girl and Miss Midnight earlier today.
Mina rolls her eyes. âYeah what the hell was that about? It really feels like these extra Sex Ed classes came out of nowhere.â
âHmmm.â Toru caps her dry erase marker and presses it to her unseen lips. âI wonder if something happened to trigger this response from the teachers. Do you think people in one of the first year classes are actually dating?â
Your stomach drops.
Mina gasps. âOh my GOD! Do you think someone we know has been having sex!?â She shrieks out, and you and Toru shush her.
âAbsolutely not!â Toru flails her arms around for good measure.
âThereâs no way.â You say with a shaky laugh. You try to keep your face from flushing. A thought hits you. âAnd even if people wereâŚdoing sexual stuffâŚhow would the teachers know?â
âMaybe someone got caught!â Mina declares, her antennae twitching thoughtfully. âThink about itâŚmaybe a couple was sneaking around in the dorms and one of the teachers caught them banging on campus during a faculty patrol.â
âThat would be so scandalous!â Toru yelps.
Your mind is whirring at 100 miles per hour. Did your teachers find out about your little rendezvous with Shoto Todoroki!? The timing seems so suspicious. You try to think back to the past 24 hours â had you left any clues? Had you been too loud? Your mind is in free-fall as you recall the way that Mr. Aizawa had knocked on Shotoâs dorm room door while the two of you were wrapped up in a compromising embrace.
You take a few calming breaths and try to snap yourself out of it. ReallyâŚeven through Mr. Aizawa had knocked on Shotoâs locked door, how could he have possibly known what you and Shoto were up to on the other side of it? These new school policies had to be totally unrelated and a coincidence. Besides â it wasnât a crime to be in another classmateâs room. Even if Mr. Aizawa had heard your voice from within Shotoâs dorm, there wasnât any evidence that you and the youngest Todoroki were up to anything nefarious.
âOk we are definitely going to investigate this whole situation further.â Mina grabs a hot pink post-it note and sharpie off her desk and returns to the floor. She peels off the top note and writes on it with big block letters: âWhoâs Hooking Up At UA?â she sticks the post-it to the wall beside her desk alongside a few other notes listing out projects like âMaster Ultimate Moveâ and âAce Next Math Test.â
âThis has become a mission of utmost importance. The UA tea must be spilled.â She says wisely.
You feign interest and nod in agreement as Toru lets out an affirmative âmhmm!â
At this exact moment, you wonder if you should tell your friends everything about you and Shoto and your steamy hookups. If you tell them now, youâre sure that they will help you figure out if Mr. Aizawa and the staff know that youâve been intimately engaging with Todoroki. Mina and Toru are absolute masters of gossip and know exactly which strings to pull to get intel. Theyâre going to make amazing heroes one day, especially Toru with her insane stealth skills.
But no. It feels safer to keep it to yourself. Everything thatâs happened â specifically Mr. Aizawa and Endeavor knocking on the door while youâre half naked and moaning in Shotoâs arms â is so totally embarrassing. You canât bare the thought of explaining the whole situation to your two friends. Would they laugh? What if someone were to overhear? You think to all of the heroes in training with hearing and stealth-based quirks running around the school. Privacy was so hard to come by, it was so easy for it to be compromised. Now the boundaries that Mr. Aizawa had spoken about earlier this morning are stating to make sense to you. Youâre all living in such close quarters and respecting each otherâs privacy and personal space really should be paramount.
The real question on your mind is this â if you and Shoto continue to smooch in secret, how will you avoid getting caught? The entire student body is likely on high alert, looking for any potential transgressions surrounding the no dating rule.
âI wonder how the other classes are feeling about all these new rules?â You muse.
âWeâll know soon enough.â Mina says, checking her phone. âActually, weâll know in 2 minutes.â
âWhat do you mean?â You ask, nervous at her tone. Toru uncaps her dry erase marker and scribbles down a few more notes on the white board.
Thereâs an unexpected knock on the door that causes you and Toru to jump.
âThe key to all of our plans has arrived.â Mina hops to her feet and scampers across the small dorm room. âLadies, I present to you our secret weapon.â
She opens the door and reveals the last person youâd expect to be in the Class A dorm â Nieto Monoma.
Monoma stands in the doorway, tall and annoyingly handsome. Heâs smiling genuinely and youâre surprised to see him looking soâŚnormal. Typically when heâs within speaking distance of any Class A students heâs a loose cannon.
He smiles down at you and Toru, eyes flickering over to the white board. Toru reflexively moves to cover the plans with her arms, but being invisible it doesnât do much to deter Monomaâs gaze.
âHello ladies.â He says in that slippery tone of his. Youâve never seen Nieto in casual wear before. Tonight heâs wearing soft black sweatpants along with a grey band logo crewneck. When heâs acting like a normal human being, his face is actually quite attractive. His long blonde bangs fall gracefully across wide grey eyes in a graceful aristocratic way that reminds you a bit of Shoto. âI heard weâre going to get into some trouble together tonight.â
âNope. Absolutely not.â You turn and glare at Mina, shooting her your best âWTFâ expression.
âMina! We canât trust him â he ratted us out last time!â Toru says angrily, still unsuccessfully attempting to keep the whiteboard of plans out of site.
Monomaâs face creases into a frown. âYeahâŚabout thatâŚâ
Mina shushes him and beckons him into the small dorm room. She checks to make sure no one is out in the hall before closing the door soundly and turning the lock. She means business.
Monoma joins the three of you on the floor around the white board. In his dark attire, he looks very out of place among Minaâs hot pink room decor. Mina waits for everyone to get situated before speaking.
âMonoma is sorry. He reached out to me last week to formally apologize to us for tattling on our last party.â Mina says, straightforward and to the point. âHe wants in on our next big bash.â
âWhatâs with this sudden change of heart?â You ask skeptically, crossing your arms as you survey Monomaâs face. He looks embarrassed, maybe even guilty as he meets your eyes.
âWell, you see - â Monoma starts to speak, but Mina cuts him off with a quick wave of her hand.
âLet me do the talking, blondie.â She shuts him up. âGirls, this time around Monoma canât rat us out â not now that we have leverage.â Â She grins at you and Toru. âThereâs something that Nieto here desperately wants. Something that only the three of us can provide at this time. And in exchange for that thing, Monoma is going to keep Mr. Vlad King out of our hair.â
âHe can do that?â Toru says doubtfully.
âHe can.â Mina says confidently, turning to the blonde intruder with a grin. âOkay, now you can apologize to them, Monoma.â
The Class B menace shifts uncomfortably on the floor, eyes slightly downcast. âLook, I know it was shitty of me to report you guys last time. I shouldnât have - â
âYes it was shitty! We have a stupid curfew now because of you!â Toru bursts out, clearly pissed that her time is being wasted listening to Monoma.
âI know and Iâm sorry!â He actually looks sincere. You wonder what the âleverageâ Mina mentioned could be to make him act like a regular human being capable of remorse. âI was jealous of your class and the party and I didnât think things through before I went to Mr. King. After I told him IâŚwell, I regretted it immediately.â He hangs his head in shame and his regret actually feels sincere. His long blonde bangs cover his eyes and he stares at the ground, waiting for you all to speak.
âWe would have invited Class B had we known you were interested. But we were under the, ugh, impression that some of you hated us so we didnât even think to reach out about the party.â You say, feeling a tiny bit sympathetic at the way Monomaâs head is miserably flopped over. âHonestly we didnât think our whole plan through last time, which is why it was so easy for the whole thing to fall apart.â
Thereâs a pause. Toru chimes in âYeah, we definitely could have thought our plans through more. But your hatred for our class contributed to the disaster.â
âI donât hate your class.â Monoma says slowly, feeling out his words. âIâm justâŚjealous of all the attention you guys get from the media and from the teachers. I thought that was pretty obvious. Weâve all worked so hard to get here; I thought that once I got to UA it would be an even playing field. But so often it feels like Class A gets preferential treatment.â
âI can see how you would feel that way.â Toru says stiffly, still unwilling to trust Monoma. âThatâs a reasonable feeling. But you could have just tried to get to know us instead of acting like such an asshole all the time! We donât want Class A to always be in the spotlight the way it is. Surely you see that.â
Monoma sighs. âFor the past year Iâve really let my insecurities rule the way I act towards other people. And itâs made me an absolute dick. Look, guys, Iâm legitimately sorry and I really want to help you make this party thing work. Iâd understand if you donât trust me and if you donât want me involved. But please give me a second chance.â
You look at him distrustfully. âYouâre saying all the right things, pretty boy. But what I really want to know â whatâs this supposed âleverageâ that we have over you here? How can we guarantee youâre not trying to lull us into a false sense of security so that you can eventually betray us?â
Mina grins. âDo you want to tell them, Monoma? Or should I?â
Nieto blushes, patches of scarlet bloom on his pale cheeks. âW-wellâŚMina said she could do something for me. Something I havenât had the courage to try to do on my own - â
âSpit it out.â Toru says, clearly reveling in his discomfort. âWe donât have all day.â
âR-right.â Monoma takes a deep breath, trying to regain his usual swagger. âThere are two things that I want. The last time I reported your little scheme was because I was jealous I wasnât invited. So obviously this time around Iâd like Class B to be part of the party. And the second thing Iâd like â a chance at a kiss.â
âYou sound crazy.â You smirk at him. But you glance over at Mina and she nods at him, encouraging him to continue.
âSo I figured as a more formal apology I could help you all pull off this party. I can distract Mr. Vlad King and make sure you donât get caught. And in exchange, you could invite my class and give me a turn at Spin the Bottle.â
This is a lot to digest. Youâve never heard Monoma speak so rationally before, and you still fear itâs some kind of elaborate ruse. AlsoâŚheâs interested in your game of Spin the Bottle!? Weird.
âSo who do you want to kiss?â Toru asks, a giggle bubbling up. ââŚKendo!?â
Monoma looks away, embarrassed.
âNope, thatâs not it.â You say, grinning at Monomaâs obvious embarrassment. âIf you donât tell us, we have no shot at making it happen for you.â
âItâs Hitoshi Shinso.â Mina says knowingly, crossing her arms. âYou want us to rig spin the bottle so that youâll be able to kiss Shinso.â
You and Toru gasp and Monomaâs cheeks get red again. He covers his face with his hands, hiding himself from sight.
âShinso!?â You and Toru cry out in shock. Monoma looks up at you all, his eyes wide. Heâs got that unhinged look that youâve come to expect from him during training exercises.
âOf course itâs Shinso!â Monoma bursts out â heâs back to his usual self. âHeâs a goddamn wonder! Heâs the only member of your class that truly deserves the prestige that Class A seems to exude!â
âDial it back, dude.â Mina admonishes, and Monoma comes back to himself.
 âListen. At this point, you guys have been around me in our joint training sessions enough times to know that I can beâŚchallenging as a classmate and as a friend. Shinso doesnât treat me like Iâm some kind of burden or freak. Over the past semester, heâs become one of my closest friends. Heâs kind and thoughtful and brave. Jeez, I have such a massive crush on him, Iâm not even sure what to do at this point.â
He rubs the back of his neck in embarrassment but continues on. âI overheard you all talking about your crazy âspin the bottleâ plan last month and its been stuck in my brain ever since. It would be the perfect way for me to organically be affectionate with Shinso. I donât have the courage to confess my feelings to him on my own, and I thought that maybe⌠well maybe if the two of us kissed, then I could finally know how he feels about me. I could see if weâre more than friends.â
âAnyway I really shouldnât have ratted you out to the teachers, that wasnât cool. You have my sincere apologies.â
âWhatâs in it for us, Phantom Thief?â You cross your arms.
âMonoma is going to help keep Mr. Vlad King off of our trail. He and Class B are going to cause a diversion that will keep any teachers away from our party for a few golden hours. And a few members of Class B want to come to the party, of course.â
âHow long have you been working through this Mina?â Toru asks in awe.
âMonoma and I started chatting about it after he ruined out last party. I went to confront him about being such an asshole, and he actually apologized immediately.â
âNow how are we going to guarantee a kiss between Shinso and Monoma?â You wonder aloud to your friends.
Mina gives her trademark toothy grin. âLeave that to me.â
You survey him, still untrusting. âWeâll think about it. But first, I want some intel.â He looks up at you curiously â he clearly wasnât expecting this.
âSo what does Class B think about the whole Sex Ed thing and these new rules? Where do you think this is all stemming from? Tell us what you know.â
âHm.â He smirks at the three of you. âAlright.â Monoma launches into a detailed description of his day. It sounds extremely similar to your own experience - Midnight and Recovery Girl had joined Class B for a similar talk during their morning courses. Class B was just as shocked by the Sex Ed discussions and the new dating rules as Class A. According to Monoma, there are a handful of couples within the class that have been dating for a while. He wonders aloud if maybe the new dating rules are specifically targeted at them.
âPeople in Class B are hooking up!?â Toru gasps at the tea. âWho!?â
Apparently Shihai Kuroiro and Kinoko Komori have been dating for quite a few months, and Kosei Tsuburaba and Sen Kalibara have some kind of sexual tension situation going on where they might be dating in secret but no one is truly sure. Oh and Setsuna dated Rin for a while, but they broke up and it was a whole dramatic thing. I think sheâs started going out with Reiko now.â
You are shocked at the amount of dating drama Monoma is describing amongst Class Bâs members. You instantly feel relieved, realizing that the dating ban canât possible be about you and Shoto. Itâs clearly a response to Class Bâs previously uninhibited horniness.
âSo are they all stopping now that the dating ban has been put into place?â Mina asks, clearly loving all of the intel.
âI think for the most part everyone is just going to continue on with whatever theyâre doing. Everyone will just be a little more careful in front of the teachers and staff.â Monoma says thoughtfully. âIâm sure these rules are more about Class B than Class A â I donât think Iâve heard anything about dating in your class?â
âNope.â Mina provides helpfully. âNo relationships that we know of at least. Thereâs definitely tension between certain members of our class. And weâre absolutely going to see if we can play on that tension with our Spin the Bottle pairings.â
âMina, we canât control who kisses who in Spin the Bottle. Thatâs the whole point of the game â the unpredictability of it all!â Toru says in shock.
âOh so youâre saying you donât want to kiss Ojiro?â Mina smirks at your friend.
âIâm not saying that.â Toru amends. âBut thereâs no way for us to pull the strings with this game. Weâre at the mercy of the bottle!â
âLike I said earlierâŚleave that to me.â Mina winks.
When heâs acting like a normal person, Monoma isnât actually all that bad. Heâs actually pretty genius when it comes to strategy. Toru passes her white board over to him and he assesses your plan so far.
âWhat do you think?â Toru asks. Your current plan to distract Mr. Vlad King relies on a series of continuously unhinged prank calls that will divert him to different parts of the campus over the course of two hours. Itâs not a great plan, but itâs the best you all have come up with in the past half hour.
âItâs a start, but I have a much better plan.â He reaches out his hand for the dry erase marker. Toru hands it over easily. He uses the palm of his hand to erase out a corner of free space. He draws two squares and marks the âClass Aâ and âClass B.â He then sketches out another rectangular shape to represent the faculty and staff living quarters. âWeâll need to intercept Mr. King in between the faculty building and the student dorm buildings. I can run up to Mr. King and tell him that I have an urgent issue that I need his help with. Iâll lead him away from the dorm buildings and towards the combat training facilities.â
âWhat will you tell him?â Mina asks, leaning forward on her elbows.
âIâm going to say that a student from Class A went to do some solo training at night and ended up getting himself into trouble. Then Iâll point him in that direction before returning to the Class B dorms.â
âWhat student from Class A will be the diversion?â You wonder aloud.
Monomaâs smile sparkles in the light of Minaâs fairy lights. âMinoru Mineta.â
-----------------------------------------
The week goes by faster than you anticipated. You get pulled back into the whirlwind of UA life â classes, tests, training, studying. Itâs all so much and sometimes you feel like you can barely breathe. Youâre so busy you barely have time to grab a private moment with Shoto.
Late on Wednesday night, youâre lounging in the common area with Mina, Ochaco and Tsu studying for an upcoming English exam. Youâre starting to get sleepy when you receive a text:
Shoto: Hey Y/N. Up for a quick study session?
You smile, knowing that he probably means he wants to hookup. You feel pretty prepared for the upcoming test and are caught up on all of your homeworkâŚso why not?
Y/N: Absolutely. Meet in my room in 10?
Shoto: See you then.
You make some lame excuse to your friends about needing beauty rest and hustle your way to your bedroom, tossing your book bag on the floor as you make sure everything is clean and tidy. Everything is in its place and your bed is made for once. You breathe a sigh of relief â Shoto is just so put together. It would be a little embarrassing for him to see your room in a messy state.
Itâs been a few days since your last tryst with Shoto and between classwork and training those days feel like theyâve passed as months. Your body is exhausted from training but you feel jittery and horny at the thought of all the things Shoto will do to you when he arrives.
A moment later, thereâs a knock. You wrench open your door with nervous, bubbling energy. You pull Shoto into your room and lock the door behind him soundly.
âYou werenât followed, right?â You whisper breathlessly as you loop your arms around his neck and move to give him a kiss on the cheek.
âThis isnât a spy movie, Y/N.â He winces as you kiss him, and you grimace as you notice a delicate bruise blooming on the side of his face from a rough training class. You step away to take him in â aside from the slight bruise on his face, he looks relatively unharmed. Heâs wearing a pair of navy blue sweatpants paired with a plain grey t-shirt. The short sleeves of the shirt really show off his toned hero-in-training arms. His muscles bulge gently around the stack of books heâs cradling in his arms.
âWhat are the books for?â You ask curiously.
He looks at you, confused. âI thought we were studying.â
Oh. You face palm. Sometimes itâs easy to forget that Shoto is so goddamn literal. You do like that about him â he tends to be mercifully straightforward and his motivations are easy to understand. Heâs not cryptic like the other boys in your class - Kaminari who hides his nervousness behind flirtation or Bakugo whose true feelings are constantly masked behind aggression and death threats. No, Shoto is all softness and direct communication. You need to remember that.
âShoto, I thought you wanted to do another kind of studying.â You waggle your eyebrows and wonder if heâll catch on to your innuendo. He doesnât.
âSo you donât want to prepare for the English test on Monday?â He asks, confusion coloring his voice. âI thought I was pretty clear that I wanted to study from the way I texted you.â
You facepalm.
âNo, Shoto, I want to make out.â You state plainly.
âOh. Oh!â Shoto tosses his books to the ground and grabs you by the waist, wrapping his arms around you as he dips to briefly connect your lips. He breaks the kiss and looks down at you, smiling softly. âWe can make out.â
You roll your eyes playfully and reach up to cup his lovely face. âWe can definitely study together later though.â You lean in and touch his lips with your own. He groans into your mouth, eager.
âI was looking for an excuse to hangout with you.â He admits in between kisses. âThis is really nice, but I like spending time with you outside of physical intimacy. You know that, right?â
You smile into his lips. âI like that youâre so straightforward Shoto. But now I feel bad â do you want to actually study? I donât want you to get a bad grade because of me.â
âNo, I donât really care about studying anymore.â He tightens his grip on your hips and turns you so that your back is against the door. He moves to kiss across your jawline, down your neck. His hands drift up to the hem of your shirt and he moves to pull it easily over your head.
âHoly fuck.â You breathe out as he presses you back into the solid wood door. His movements are gentle, but firm as he keeps you in place. He kisses down the expanse of your clavicle, letting his tongue roam smoothly across the tops of your breasts. He shifts to get down on his knees so that he can move his mouth across your stomach, kissing and licking the exposed skin there. He stops for a moment to take his phone out of his pocket and lay it on your desk before diving back into spreading kisses across your skin. Wherever his lips touch, he leaves a trail of goose bumps in his wake. He reaches up, up, up with his fingers so that he can wander the stretch of your braâclad tits. He takes his time, smoothing fingertips over the cotton cups of your bra until he finds the places where your nipples lay underneath. He pinches lightly on the fabric and itâs enough to make you moan.
âShh.â He whispers against your stomach, quieting you. It feels incredible, to have your body worshiped this way by Shoto. Each of his movements is so purposeful, so tender. You never want it to end.
âYou promise youâre not going to fail English class due to my seductiony ways?â You ask weakly as he continues to kiss towards your belly button. Shoto laughs softly, a happy sound.
âI swear that pleasuring you isnât going to ruin my grades. At least not yet. Can I take off your bra?â He asks quietly, bright eyes gazing up at you questioningly.
âUm, duh. Yeah you can take it off.â You say, wanting him to keep going. This pulls a grin out of Shotoâs typically serious face. The small bruise on his cheek crinkles along his smile lines. His hands slide up your body and around to your back. He fiddles with the clip to your bra for a few moments before managing to undo the clasp. He slides the straps down your shoulders, and slowly pulls the cotton fabric away from your body to reveal your perky breasts. The room is chillier than you thought, and your nipples harden as they are exposed to the crisp air conditioning. Shoto looks up at you with a look of awe.
âIncredible.â He breathes, before leaning up to take a nipple into his mouth. He swirls his tongue around your pert bud, eliciting another moan from your sweet mouth. He doesnât bother to shush you this time, instead moving to knead at your other breast with his sure fingers while he uses his lips to suck on your nipple. He continues this for a while â using his mouth on both of your breasts and ensuring each gets equal attention. You bite your lip and try to keep quiet, running your fingers through his two toned hair and nodding encouragingly when he does something you like.
By the time he gets to his feet so he can kiss you on the mouth once more, youâre absolutely soaking wet. Thereâs a spark between your legs that youâre having a hard time ignoring. You need him in the absolute worst way.
âSit in my desk chair.â You whine, pushing lightly at his chest so you can get away from the door.
âHmm?â He says, clearly not listening. His eyes are hazy with desire as he looks at you.
âThe chair.â You point. âSit down.â He doesnât ask any questions or argue, he walks over to the chair and takes a seat.
âThank God.â You say as you walk over to him, tossing a leg over his lap so you can straddle him. You brace your hands on either side of Shoto, gripping the back of the chair as you make yourself comfortable. You lean down and capture his lips in a scorching kiss as you sit down, cowgirl style, on his lap. Heâs so deliciously hard beneath you, and youâre thankfully both wearing sweatpants so the friction between you is buttery and smooth as you find the perfect angle to grind your pussy against him.
âYâN.â Shoto groans out in surprise, thereâs no way he could have anticipated this. He literally thought you two were going to study tonight. You grin and move your hips fluidly, grinding against his fat cock again. Youâd do anything to satisfy the need thatâs building up in your core.
âShotoâŚShoto put your hands on my - â You donât even need to finish your sentence, Shoto hears you loud and clear. He reaches for your breasts and plays with your nipples as you dry hump him on your desk chair.
âAh! Yes!â You manage to say between gritted teeth. âShoto, I think Iâm gonnaâŚâ
He presses his lips to your own, essentially shutting you up as you bounce on his lap, grinding your way to an orgasm. He slides his hands down to your hips and helps guide your movements, shifting a bit beneath you. The new position presses the tip of his hard cock against your clit the next time your hips roll. Its wonderful and delightful and just the thing that pushes you over the edge. The orgasm hits you in a wave and you break away from Shotoâs lips so you can gasp in pleasure as you ride it out. Shoto is smiling at you, so open and genuine. Heâs enjoying watching you get off â it shows on his face and in the way his cock twitches against you beneath a few layers of clothing.
When you finally come down from your high, you pull him into a hug and slump against his shoulder.
âFuuuuck, Shoto.â You whisper, your breath slowing down. âThat felt so good.â He brings his hand up slowly and traces an icy finger down your sweaty back. You feel your muscles relax beneath his touch.
âYouâre incredible, Y/N. Thank you for that.â He says, voice tinged with something akin to awe.
You stifle a laugh. âYouâre thanking me for cumming?â
âThank you for being comfortable enough with me to do that. It means a lot.â
âShoto, you are literally the sweetest.â You press a kiss to his soft cheek before slowly removing yourself from his lap. âDang, between this morningâs practice and what we did just nowâŚI am sore.â You find your shirt on the floor and throw it back on over your bare chest. You scoop up your bra from the floor and toss it in the hamper.
âMaybe I can help.â Shoto stands up from the chair and strolls over to your bed, hoisting himself up onto the tall mattress before beckoning you to join him.
âYouâve already helped me so much tonight.â You say, fluttering your lashes up at him until he blushes.
âJust get up here.â He pulls you up onto the mattress and into his lap so that your back is against his chest. You can feel heâs still a bit hard beneath your butt, but he seems to be ignoring his boner in favor of taking care of you. A true gentleman â Kirishima would be impressed.
âWhere are you sore?â He asks, resting a hand on your waist.
âMy lower back.â You point to the spot. Shoto lifts up your shirt and covers the sore muscles with his strong left hand. He spreads his fingers wide, covering as much surface area as possible before activating his quirk. His left hand slowly warms up like a hot compress. You feel his palm grow steadily warmer and you feel instant relief flood through your back, making you sleepy and comfortable.
âShoto, this is heaven.â You praise, leaning your head back against his chest and letting your eyelids drop. He kisses the top of your head.
âGood. I just want to make you feel good Y/N.â He lets you relax into his hand and doze for a bit. Youâre comfortable and happy and feeling very cared for. The silence is comfortable, but after a few minutes Shoto starts to hum an old 90s song and the rhythm of it lulls you into a true sleep.
An annoying buzzing sound wakes you. Over on your desk, your phone is buzzing and blinking incessantly â someone is trying really hard to get ahold of you. You ignore it, trying to focus all of your attention on the way that Shotoâs right hand is carding through your hair.
âMmm.â You hum with pleasure as he drags delicate fingertips through your scalp. Your phone continues to buzz. Youâre annoyed and canât enjoy yourself properly. You reach out and stop Shotoâs hand before it can go any further. âI should really check that.â
You get to your feet and adjust your sweatpants, secretly cursing whoever is trying to get ahold of you. You open up your phone and the screen reads âMina Ashido: 4 missed calls.â Huh? You quickly hit redial. The phone barely rings once before Mina is squealing into the phone.
âMr. Aizawa is doing a curfew checks! Make sure youâre in your room!â She all but shouts into the phone.
âWhat!?â
âItâs only 10:05 and he gave Toru and I detention for being out in the common area past curfew! He said heâs doing bed checks and knocking on doors next. Are you in your room!?â
âOMG!â You hang up on Mina and frantically wave your arms at Shoto.
âAizawa is doing bed checks! You need to get to your room now!â
Shotoâs eyes widen and he quickly scoops up his English books from the floor. You push him towards the exit in a panic. You wrench the door open and quickly look up and down the hallway â itâs mercifully empty. Mr. Aizawa clearly hasnât gotten to this floor yet.
âOkay, itâs all clear â go, go, go!â You push Shoto from the room bodily, his eyes still large and overwhelmed as he goes.
âBut wait, I didnât get to kiss you goodbye - â
âThis is life or death Shoto! Get out of here!â You push him in the direction of the staircase and quickly shut your door behind him. You hear his footsteps recede down the hallway and breathe a sigh of relief.
You call Mina back in a hurry. âHey, sorry I hung up! I was out in the hall and had to make a beeline to my room before Aizawa made an appearance. He hasnât been up to my dorm yet.â
âThank goodness I got ahold of you before you got caught after hours! Lucky timing.â Mina sighs. âNow Toru and I need to spend tomorrow evening cleaning the classroom since we âbroke curfew.â This is bogus!â
âWait that sucks.â You look in your mirror and fix your static hair as you chat. Suddenly, you have an idea. âI can come and help you, though. We can discuss our master plan while we clean!â
Mina laughs. âThat would make it more fun! Youâre such a good friend Y/N. I can always trust you to make things a little brighter.â You feel a knot form in your stomach at these words â Mina still has no idea about you and Todoroki. The magnitude of this secret weighs heavily in your heart. You bite your lip with anxiety. Should you tell her? She majorly saved your butt with that warning callâŚ
âYou too, Mina. Youâre the best.â You say. You canât seem to find the words to explain your Shoto situation to her, so you opt not to tell her. Your stomach continues to turn over in guilty knots. You hear hard footsteps coming up the hall, followed by the sound of distant knocking. âOh my goodness I think Mr. Aizawa just made it to this floor. Iâd better go.â
âBye, girl! Text me!â Mina hangs up, leaving you to finish adjusting your appearance in the mirror. You make yourself presentable, pulling your hair up into a clean ponytail and adjusting your clothes to look less rumpled. A moment later, thereâs a hard knock on the door.
You take a deep breath to center yourself and try not to look super ultra guilty when you open the door. Your teacher stands looming in the doorway, his hero costume looking a bit worse for wear. He must have just come back from patrol. He looks world weary and exhausted, the deep shadows under his eyes look worse than usual. His eyes are bloodshot â a typical side effect of his quirk.
âOh, hi Mr. Aizawa. Is everything alright?â You ask brightly.
He glares down at you, but not unkindly. With his reddened eyes, he just tends to glare.
âJust doing a random check to make sure everyoneâs sticking to curfew.â He says, voice gravely. âIâm surprised you werenât in the common room with Ashido and Hagakure, youâre usually inseparable.â
You blink nervously at this â is he onto you or are you just being paranoid?
âYeah I wanted to get some quiet reading done tonight. And you know how they areâŚdefinitely not quiet.â Thatâs the dumbest thing youâve said all day, but for some reason Aizawa buys it.
âYeah you kids are definitely one of the rowdier classes Iâve had over the years.â His sour look softens into an almost-smile. âPlease go to bed at a reasonable time â we have a lot of training this week.â
âWill do!â You chirp out â you canât believe youâre actually getting away from this situation unscathed.
He moves on to the next room and mutters quietly, almost to himself - âI caught Todoroki out of his dorm, too. Weâre going to need to review the definition of âcurfewâ in homeroom class tomorrow.â He gives you a vague wave and you shut the door quickly, breathless. So Shoto didnât make it to his room â from the sound of it, he ran right into Aizawa on the stairs.
You reach for your phone to text Shoto about the situation, typing out a quick âYou got caught!?â accompanied by some shocked emoji faces. You hit send, and are surprised when you hear a buzzing noise coming from the direction of your bed â in his haste to escape your room, Shoto left his phone on your pillow.
âAw, crap.â You scoop up the phone in its plain grey case and see your own text flash against the screen. You place it on your nightstand and resolve to discreetly give it to Shoto before class the next morning. Poor Shoto â caught for breaking curfew. You feel bad knowing that youâre the reason he likely has detention with Toru and Mina.
You get ready for bed - pulling on your comfiest pajamas and smoothing moisturizer across the planes of your face. Youâre exhausted and still basking in the afterglow of your little hookup with Shoto. It would be so nice if he were here with you right now to cuddle. You wish you could run your fingers through his soft hair and watch him fall asleep in your arms again. Despite his absolute insane skills in combat training, Shoto is such a sweet quiet soul. You want to praise him for his sweetness, and help him realize that there are so many wonderful pieces of him aside from his powerful quirk.
You settle into bed and get comfy amongst your plushies, settling in for a good nightâs rest. Your alarm is already scheduled for the next morning, but you double check that itâs set anyway. You take a moment to scroll through Instagram and are startled when Shotoâs phone starts to buzz on your night table. You scoop it up out of habit and read the screen. Itâs a text from YaMomo.
Momo: âHey Shoto, you left your sweatshirt in my dorm room yesterday evening. Come pick it up tomorrow? Good night.â
UmâŚWTF!?
End of Chapter.

⼠subtle ways they say "I love you" without saying it Ⳡw/ Nanami, Ino, Toji & Naoya
a/n: gn!reader for Nanami, Toji & Ino, f!reader for Naoya! somehow i got carried away writing these and halfway through wondered if i should have just made single fics for each of them... oh well âĄ-(ŕšËăźËŕš)-âĄ
word count: 1.5k
⌠đđđđđđ
Nanami needs his sweet time until heâll put his feelings into proper words, part of him too afraid to pursue love during his time as jujutsu sorcerer, but his actions have always been louder than words anyway
his love is stored in the smallest gestures, like fixing the collar of your shirt or helping you put on a necklace, not letting you go without kissing the back of your neck gently, his lips lingering on your skin for a heartbeat longer than expected
when youâre in a bookstore together, his eyes always follow you around even when youâre looking at different shelves; he observes which books you pick up and put back again because you have too many unread ones at home (both of you are terrible book hoarders), just so he can go back another day and get you the one book you really wanted
sometimes heâll also make the time to read it before he gifts it to you, small scribbled thoughts on the side so you can discuss them together laterâa tiny book club of two lovers
in the comfort of your home, Nanami is also incredibly touchy, never not seeking skin contact; anything will do, even if itâs just linked pinkies across the table while youâre having your morning coffee and sharing the newspaper
his love will seep into you with every gaze, every smile, every kiss you share
with you, Nanami can let his guard down; he can allow himself to just be loved, with his head in your lap as you run your fingers through his hair, charming out sweet sounds from his throat that sound a lot like âI love youâ if you listen closely
if he has to leave for a solo mission, Nanami will leave a handwritten note on the table for you to find in the morning, nothing too cheesy but enough to remind you that youâre always on his mind
and if you show him your collection of notes one day, stored in a box in your closet, a smile will play upon his lips, asking you if you really kept all of them (even if some of them just say things like âCan you buy eggs while Iâm out? I want to make us waffles for breakfast tomorrowâ or âI watered your dying plant on the top shelf. xxâ)Â
thereâs wonder in his eyes when he looks at you, as if he sometimes finds it hard to believe that your love is mutual, that heâs allowed to experience this during his lifetime, and the quiet hope that maybe, maybe this can last forever
⌠đđđ
Inoâs love for you is written all over his face: the way it lights up when he sees you, the confident yet boyish smirk when you compliment him, the gleam in his eyes when you call out for him
itâs in his touch, too
his fingers playing with yours when youâre sitting somewhere together, always fidgeting with them as if he couldnât believe that he really gets to hold your hand
or the arm that sneaks around your waist when youâre on the train together and itâs crowded, his body shielding you from the other passengers and giving you some space to breathe (plusâhow convenientâhe can steal a kiss from your lips without anyone looking, too)
Ino also walks you home at any given occasion, whether itâs after a night out with your senpais or after a mission youâve been on together; he doesnât mind that he lives in a different neighborhood or if he has to get up early the next day, he rather wants to know youâre home safely
when youâre apart, Ino and you keep texting with each other throughout the day, his lips curling into a smile whenever your name lights up on his screen
Ino will text you everything and anything that reminds him of you and itâs plenty and in the most mundane things
[img.attached] âsaw this chonky cat on my mission. u would have loved to give them belly rubs. Nanami said iâm not allowed to take them home with meâ
[new text] âi think we should adopt a cat one day. maybe two so it doesnât get lonely. knowing us weâll also adopt a thirdâ
[voice message] âbabe can you hear this? iâve never heard a cat purr like this. (sounds of rustling and Ino sweet talking to the cat, itâs purring very loudly)â
[new text] âi hope the cat distribution system chooses us nextâ
being loved by Ino means being part of his future and his dreams; heâs thinking of you always and canât imagine a life without you in it, so listen closely when he tells you all about it

Toji isnât shy to admit his love verbally, whispered into your ear at night, his voice bourbon raspy, making sure you never forget how your own name sounds when rolled off his lips
being in love makes him domestic; Toji grew up not knowing what a warm home is, and so heâll strive to make his place one for you both to hide from the world outside
itâs like your presence is a reminder that even someone like him is allowed to love, and be loved in return
Toji brings you your favorite beverage to bed in the morning, urging you not to get up just yet (he also wants to slip back under the covers with you)
if you really have to get up on on cold mornings though, Toji will give you his worn and warmed up sweater for you to wear so you wonât be freezing
he also slips pocket warmers into your coat before you leave the house and gives you the deepest kiss, almost as if his biggest concern is that you stay warm
cooking isnât Tojiâs strong suit but heâll get you takeout, even if it means driving across the whole town to get you that one dish from that specific restaurant that youâre craving (and some dessert on top); your big smile once he returns home is his solely reward
after seeing you struggle with opening a jar of jam once, Toji will go around the kitchen and loosen the lids of all the jars for you. every single one of them. there wonât be even one jar left that gives you any further troubles
itâs endearing in a way, how Toji always takes the fastest route to solve your struggles (thereâs barely anything he canât solve with his hands)
with love, it all comes down to warmth for Toji: the heat of your body when he has his arms wrapped around you. letting you warm up your cold hands on his stomach (he tries his best not to flinch). sharing a hot bath while youâre getting snowed in.
to Toji, you are his sun, the one who brought back colors into his life and who showed him what it means to live despite everything; he may be blinded by your light but he doesnât need to see to find your lips in every universeÂ
⌠đđđđđ
Naoya doesnât do love, he prefers to be worshiped and adored over admitting his feeling for you
yet still, he has his ways of showing that you actually mean something more to him than just being his trophy wife
the kitchen staff and servants have been drilled to cook all of your meals exactly to your liking, and heâll look overly pleased with himself over dinner when he notices that you enjoy the food, proud of himself as if he was the one who prepared it for you (smug bastard that he is)
thereâs always an air of possessiveness around him when youâre with him; as if he wants the whole world to know that youâre his wife, even insisting you walk by his side instead of behind him, always one hand around your waist or in the back of your neck, making sure to keep you close
even though it displeases him that you want to spent time apart from him, he made sure that you get a room of your own in the Zenâin estate after your arranged marriage (he still lingers around often until you kick him out)
he insists on sharing a bed at night thoughâitâs when he gets surprisingly clingy, insisting to hold you close, his hands playing with anything he can get a hold of: your hair, the hem of the pajamas he picked out for you in the color he thinks suits you best, the ring on your finger that proofs youâre his
Naoya can be surprisingly gentle in those moments when itâs just the two of youâno family and no servants around
his sharp yellow eyes study your features thoroughly, ignoring the pull at his heart strings when he picks up an eyelash from your cheeks and holds it out for you when you make a wish
heâs dying to know what you wished for, but he doesnât ask; part of him scared it doesnât involve him, part of him too prideful to believe you could wish for something that doesnât include him, because at the end of the day you still belong to himâor is it the other way around?

â SISTER'S CHOICE
BROKEN OATH (AU)
PAIRING â Ser Gwayne Hightower x fem!Reader // Princess Elaena Targaryen (OC)
SUMMARY â You manage to escape Oldtown after fifteen years of marriage to Ser Gwayne Hightower in order to join your sister Rhaenyra in the upcoming war. Despite the oath given to Rhaenyra, you struggle to be away from your husband and children. Things complicate when you meet Gwayne in the battlefield.
AUTHORâS NOTE â Itâs written from the Readerâs perspective but she is a Targaryen and Rhaenyra's younger sister. I did not describe any of her body or face features except for that she has silver hair, lilac eyes and her name is Elaena. The story is quite long already so I haven't described the beginnings of Reader/Elaena with Gwayne or her childhood â you can find them in the "Broken Oath" fanfic (link above), which is an AU of this one (or this one is an AU of "Broken Oath" đ). Canon events are treated very loosely here for the purpose of the plot (Rook's Rest for example).
WARNINGS â Reader/Elaena is responsible for the deaths in the battlefield & if you're Team Black you might be unhappy about the ending (+ I don't like Daemon and it shows, sorry)
WORD COUNT â 9,930 (đ)
ENGLISH IS MY SECOND LANGUAGE.
SISTER'S CHOICE
It was quite a long trip from Oldtown to Dragonstone but you hadnât made any stops and now both you and your dragon were exhausted. The sun was slowly rising when you arrived but you had a weird feeling deep in your guts â some sort of anxiety â before seeing your sister after fifteen years. How would you even greet her now? What would you say? That fear alone was stopping you from landing.
Eventually, you spotted a few people looking out for you from the castle. They had to be wondering what were you doing, circling around Dragonstone without clear intentions. After spotting your sisterâs long silver hair in the wind, you decided to order Onyx to land on the sandy beach and you waited for someone to come out and greet you.
Sighing, you looked around and breathed in the fresh air. It felt so odd to be out of Oldtown â you hadnât left it in fifteen years. Not even once. You had grown so used to it that you nearly missed it now. You certainly missed your children. They had to slowly wake up now and you wondered what your husband would tell them about your sudden absence.
Would they understand? Would they grow up to hate you? They were only children, you couldnât expect them to comprehend the complicated situation of the upcoming war, the delicacy of your familyâs relations. And what kind of mother abandoned her children like that? Perhaps it was true what they were saying about The Targaryens â just like dragons they rode, they were difficult to tame. Even an obedient and dutiful Princess like you still had fire and blood running through her veins.
Finally, you spotted your sister and a few of her guards walking towards you. You took off the hood of your cloak and petted nervous Onyx to calm her down.Â
âSister,â Rhaenyra greeted you and you hurried to her side, leaving your dragon behind you. You gave her an anxious smile as your eyes scanned hers carefully.
She had grown older those past fifteen years but you couldnât help a feeling that she had grown sadder, too. Either way, she was still your sister but also your Queen now.
âYou came, Elaena,â Rhaenyra smiled at you nervously.
âMy Queen,â you bowed down and the hood of your cloak fell onto your head again. Rhaenyra chuckled at that and approached you to fix it.
âIt is green,â she pointed out while caressing the fabric of your cloak when you two were face-to-face now. Then, her fingers moved down to the golden clasp, which was The Hightower emblem.
âForgive me,â you unclasped the cloak and let it fall down on the sand. âI am here now, by my sisterâs side,â you told her.
âCome, weâll make space for Onyx in the dragonpit,â Rhaenyra smiled at your dragon and tilted her head a little. âSheâs as big as Caraxes now, do you know?â
You were surprised. You had no idea that your young and small dragon had grown so big. It was also unexpected that it had happened in Oldtown where Onyx had been alone and you had not been flying on her often either. She had been spoiled with sheep and your affection but that would be it, really. Other than that, she had been pretty bored there.
âI am glad,â you smiled at your sister. You wanted to take her by her arm but something was stopping you â some invisible barrier between you two and it was not because she was The Queen, no.Â
She had always been your fatherâs heir to you anyway. You had gotten used to the fact that Rhaenyra was your superior. The barrier was caused by the fifteen years apart. Despite knowing it was your sister, despite sharing the same blood, the same silver hair, the same lilac eyes â it was a stranger walking down the beach with you.
âWhy did you come?â Rhaenyra asked, genuinely. The guards left you behind and watched Onyx fly up again to rest in the dragonpit after the long journey.
âYou need dragons and dragonriders in the upcoming war with Aegon,â you answered, a little surprised as if you couldnât understand why she had even asked that. It was obvious, after all.
âYou loved him when he was a babe, did you not?â Rhaenyra smiled gently.
âI love him still, just like I love you â and to you I have sworn my loyalty,â you answered.
âHavenât you sworn it to your husband, too, on your wedding day?â She kept inquiring and you grew uncomfortable with that. You didnât want her to mention Gwayne because you were trying your hardest not to think of him.
âAre you suspecting I might be my father-in-lawâs spy?â You suddenly turned your head around to look deep into her eyes. âIf so, you hurt me deeply.â
âI would never suspect that!â Rhaenyra gasped and held your wrist to squeeze it assuringly. âYou have been telling me in your letters that your marriage is a good one, that you love your children dearly. And now you are here, with me,â she pointed out.
âThe war is coming,â you only shook your head.
Hadnât she been expecting you to come and join her? In her letter, you had read that between the lines and now she was shocked to see you? When she had been asking for your loyalty and for remembering your oath⌠What had she been exactly expecting?
However, you had no opportunity to continue this conversation because you reached the castle and your uncle Daemon was waiting there with a very unpleasant expression on his face.
At first, your heart swelled in your chest at the sight of him. You wanted to run up to him and greet him like back in the old days when you had been a young girl and he would bounce you on his knee. But you froze at the sight of him eyeing you up and down as if you were an intruder.
âWhat does she want?â He asked Rhaenyra and you swallowed thickly at that tone of his voice.
âShe is my sister, Daemon. She came to support me,â Rhaenyra explained.
âAnd you believe her?â Daemon whispered but you could hear him perfectly well.
âI can hear you, Uncle,â you nodded at him and he shot you a cold glance.
âThat is King Consort to you. We donât trust Hightower cunts here,â he drawled out.
âDaemon!â Rhaenyra scolded him and you were standing there, petrified.
You were not used to being treated this way. In Oldtown you were a Lady of the town â every man was bowing his head at you, they were showing you nothing but respect and your own Lord Husband would challenge Daemon this very moment if he had heard or seen the way you were treated.
But your Lord Husband was not here because you had abandoned him to join your sister. Your sister â not Daemon. So, you held your head high and clenched your jaw at him.
âI am Princess Elaena Targaryen,â you introduced yourself to him in case he had somehow forgotten. âLady Hightower, to you, dear Uncle. Lady of Oldtown,â you added even though the last title was not technically yours yet as long as your father-in-law was alive but you had been ruling the city in his name alongside your husband for fifteen years now and everyone called you that.
Daemon, however, found your titles somehow funny. He chuckled at you.
âOnyx has grown, Daemon,â Rhaenyra informed him. There was a hint of harshness in her voice that made shivers go down your spine. Something deeply disturbing was going on between them and you had a feeling her marriage was not as wonderful as she had been describing it to you in her letters. âSheâs as big as Caraxes now,â she added.
âBut not as experienced,â Daemon dismissed that and laid his eyes on you again. He squinted them and looked you up and down before speaking to you again eventually. âWell, come in, Elaena. We are not in a position to refuse any dragonriders,â he said and turned around to walk away.
You looked at Rhaenyra, questioningly.
âForgive him, he is nervous about the war and we have also lost our child recently⌠Our baby girl was born dead,â she sighed and caressed your arm.
âI am so sorry to hear that,â you whispered and gave her a hug. âStill, that gives him no right to speak to you in such a manner. You are his Queen, but, most importantly, his Lady Wife,â you explained. âSuch manners are shocking to me.â
âIt makes me glad,â Rhaenyra answered mysteriously and you furrowed your brow, âfor it means that you had never experienced such treatment from your husband.â
You were given your own chambers in the part of the castle reserved for the royal family and you knew that it was the highest standard for Dragonstone but you missed your chambers in Oldtown dearly. The comfort was incomparable⌠The Hightower was cosier and warmer â it was full of wood and colours instead of the cold, grey stone. The Reach was warmer overall and the sound of the waves was soothing there, meanwhile in Dragonstone the stormy weather was keeping you up all night.
Not just the sound of the raging sea but also thoughts of your family. Each evening you were crying yourself to sleep, imagining the bedtime of your children, remembering all the rituals Gwayne was doing before going to sleep and you missed them dearly. You especially missed laying in your bed together and discussing your day â trying to work out some problems around Oldtown or with your children⌠Sometimes gossipping together. And now, you were squeezing your pillow tight and trying to communicate with your husband telepathically. Yet, you still had no idea what you would tell him if it was possible.
He hadnât written you any letter and you couldnât blame him since you left Oldtown without even a note on his desk. Yet, each time there were new letters coming to Dragonstone, you were expecting to see the familiar green envelope and your husbandâs handwriting; begging you to come back. Gwayne, however, had his pride and you couldnât be sad or angry about it now because you had always admired him for it.
Seeing Rhaenyraâs relationship with Daemon was only making you miss Gwayne more. He was a Lord Husband that so many women could only dream of â even The Queen of The Seven Kingdoms, apparently.
Daemon was not the only person treating you with a hint of mistrust. Your aunt Princess Rhaenys was by your side but even young Jacaerys was staring at you without a word most of the time even though you had been playing with him and bouncing him on your knee when he had been a babe.
It was not easy to get used to all of this â the coldness and emptiness of your chambers, the treatment of others. From the beloved Lady of Oldtown to a mistrusted Princess, a prodigal sister.
Your loyalty and surname that had been given to you through marriage was being brought up regularly, mostly by Daemon â especially during dinnertime or supper.
âIt was not my choice to marry a Hightower and even if it was⌠I married Gwayne fifteen years ago. No one could have suspected this warâŚâ You rolled your eyes at one more remark by the dinner table.
âDonât be naive, Elaena!â Daemon snapped. âEveryone has suspected. That was the very reason why Otto Hightower sent you to his son in Oldtown.â
You didnât answer and you felt the eyes of everyone staring at you and expecting some sort of remark. Daemon smirked at your silence, feeling like the winner.
âI am not used to being yelled at and treated in such a way. And I am certainly not used to dinnertime being a battle between the family members,â you stated calmly.
âGo back to Oldtown then,â Daemon scoffed. âIf you find it so insufferable here, then go back to your husband. Do you think he is going to greet you with open arms after such betrayal?â He laughed and shook his head while taking a sip of the wine. âHe is going to greet you with his sword instead, Princess,â he mocked your title and you swallowed your food thickly, feeling your stomach turning upside down.
Daemon had only voiced out the anxiety that you had been having for some time now â that Gwayne did not miss you at all. That he did not feel nothing but anger at you and that he would kill you at the very first opportunity. After all, you had hurt his pride and you had stained his honour and these things mattered to him more than anything else â except for your children, of course.
Your marriage had been good but it didnât change the fact it was an arranged union and not a love match. Sometimes, though⌠Sometimes, laying in your bed, here, in Dragonstone, tossing and turning, you were quite sure that you had grown to love him, which was quite ironic to have such thoughts now when you had already ruined everything between you two. But you were sure he was not having the same thoughts about you anyway.Â
âMy sister is more than welcome here,â Rhaenyra gave her husband a scolding look and squeezed your hand. You smiled at her, gratefully.
But the thing with Rhaenyra was that despite being The Queen, no one really seemed to care about it. No one except for you, Rhaenys and Daemonâs daughters. All the men, though, were still doing everything their own way. And Rhaenyra herself could not find any solution to deal with that, which made you wonder if she would really be a good QueenâŚ
Not that you had ever voiced that out for it would be treason. You loved your sister and you were obliged to serve her because of the oath you had sworn. But still, you sometimes couldnât help feeling that she was not a strong leader. On the other hand, it was not that surprising because she had no real experience in such matters and when things had gotten difficult in Kingâs Landing, she had fled to Dragonstone instead of staying in The Red Keep and learning how to be a good ruler.
The death of Lucerys had shaken everyone. The very first victim of the conflict being such a young and innocent boy⌠You were speechless and you had no words of comfort to offer. You were a mother, too, and you just couldnât imagine what Rhaenyra had to feel.
You locked yourself in your chambers instead and spent your whole day staring at the small portrait you had taken with yourself from Oldtown. It was a portrait in the size of a locket and it was of your own four children â twelve years old Steffon Hightower with silver hair and lilac eyes standing next to his nine years old brother Loras Hightower who was a copy of his father with his auburn hair and blue eyes. The girls were sitting on the carpet â six years old Lysa Hightower with her fatherâs auburn hair and your lilac eyes and three years old Roslin Hightower with silver hair and blue eyes. You felt the warm tears streaming down your cheeks and all you really wanted was to hold them and make sure they were alright.
Sometimes you regretted your decision to flee from Oldtown. Perhaps you should have been an obedient and loyal wife like your mother had always been teaching you to be. It would save you lots of trouble.
Fifteen years earlier, before your departure to marry Gwayne, Rhaenyra had confessed to you that she had wished to be more like you â less rebellious, less stubborn. Meanwhile, you had always wished to be more like her and now you kind of were but you finally understood the price for it, too.
It was Princess Rhaenys that came to your chambers on that day. She sighed at the sight of you and approached you with a soft smile. She took the small portrait from your hands and took a look at the faces of your children.
âHow accurate is it?â She asked.
âVery,â you sniffled your tears back. âI sleep with it under my pillow every night. And by day, I have them close to my heart,â you confessed.
âTheyâre very beautiful children,â Rhaenys sat next to you on the edge of your bed and handed you the portrait back. âWhat are they like?â
You knew she was trying to help you. She wanted you to talk about your children and let out all the tears that no one else in the castle would want to see now. Not even Rhaenyra because she was grieving her own loss. Meanwhile, your children were safe and sound in Oldtown but your heart was in grief anyway. You were grateful that your aunt wanted to hear about them because you felt like it was expected from you to not express any feelings towards The Hightowers, Oldtown, your husband or your offspring at all. Each display of affection or a hint of the fact that you were missing them was perceived as an act of treason.
You had sacrificed so much for them but no one seemed to understand the significance of it. No one except for Rhaenys and Rhaenyra but they were only two and against many.
âYou would like Steffon the most, I think,â you caressed his little face on your portrait. âA true Targaryen, look at him. And he is soâŚâ you chuckled through the tears. âSo brave and bold. Heâs going to be a knight like his father and, somehow, I have a feeling heâs going to be a dragonrider, too. I donât know how but heâs determined enough to claim one,â you assured her. âAnd then thereâs LorasâŚâ Your fingers moved to your second son. âHe inherited all the kindness and goodness and gentleness from Gwayne. From me, too, I assume. There is not a mean bone in his body. And my girlsâŚâ You moved your hand down and sighed. âThat is Lysa, the one with auburn hair. And the little one with silver hair is Roslin. They⌠They were spending their whole days following me around and clinging to my skirts⌠I have no idea how they are managing nowâŚâ You sobbed and hid your face in your hands.
Rhaenys put her arm around you and pulled you closer as she rubbed your back to soothe you. She leaned in to kiss your temple.
âTheir mother is strong and brave. She is righteous,â she whispered. âOne day, they will understand it and forgive you. You had this calling in you, the calling to join your sister for you are a Targaryen, you are a dragonrider. We are never only mothers and wives and proper ladies. We are wild creatures, Elaena. Just like our dragons,â she lifted your chin up, forcing you to look into her eyes.
âI thought of taking them with me but⌠But theyâre safer in Oldtown, far away from here. And Gwayne⌠Well, he would hunt me down and kill me for that, I am sure. He is a devoted father,â you tried to explain yourself but no matter how much you were doing so, you still felt like a terrible mother.
âYou were right to leave them with him then,â Rhaenys caressed your arms. âYour husband will protect them and of that you are sure, I can see. They are safe there.â
âWhen this war ends, when we winâŚâ Your lower lip trembled. âI will be allowed to reunite with my family, right? Rhaenyra will allow me?â You asked, a little unsurely.
âI am rather convinced that after we win this war, you are going to remain the Lady of Oldtown,â Rhaenys nodded and kissed your forehead. âYouâre going to raise your children there and watch them grow happily.â
âAnd⌠And my Lord Husband?â You sniffled, while Rhaenys tilted her head. âI mean⌠He has to die, right?â
âI highly doubt Daemon would allow it any other way,â Rhaenys told you.
âWhatever he might be saying, he is not The King,â you reminded her.
âThat decision will not be Rhaenyraâs to make. Daemon and Gwayne will most likely meet on the battlefield sooner or later,â your aunt reminded you and fixed your hair delicately. âYou must think of your husband as dead from now on if you want to survive this,â she added and stood up to leave your chambers.
You knew that she had meant that with the best intentions but it only made you sob even more. You took another look at the portrait of your children and your heart squeezed in your chest. What was giving you a guarantee that Daemon would not hurt your babies, too? He seemed to be filled with an ugly desire to wipe all Hightowers out from this world.
Weeks had passed and you had grown colder and sharper lately. Daemon was not around any longer for he had left for Harrenhal, which was helpful, but if he was still in Dragonstone, you would surely be ready to confront him each time now. You were confronting everyone else whenever they doubted you and on multiple occasions you had confronted them to defend your sister, too.
You still missed your family but all those lonely nights had made you turn pretty heartless sometimes. All those suppressed feelings and regrets had made you a woman who was holding her head high and who was more and more sure of her skills. You were flying Onyx every day now to strengthen your bond even more and it was giving you lots of confidence.
Despite the fondness you still felt towards your marriage, you knew aunt Rhaenys had been right and the marriage was over now. You also realised how much you had missed out in those past fifteen years. You had been living more like a Hightower than a Targaryen. Your husband was a good and kind man but still â he had been trying to tame the dragon blood inside of you. You had not been riding Onyx enough and your High Valyrian had become rusty. Now you were finding your old self back again and all the pain you were feeling because of missing your children only fueled you to be even colder and sharper towards all of those who were doubting you.
When you entered the hall where the council was gathered, everyone nodded their heads at you and you didnât even bother to nod back. As the Lady of Oldtown you had been respected but you had always been kind in return, too. In Dragonstone everything seemed to be turned upside down.
But why would Princess Elaena Targaryen bow down to any of these men inside the castle that had belonged to her ancestors for centuries now? It was your home â perhaps not in the same domesticated way as The Hightower but Dragonstone was your bloodâs home and you would not bow down to anyone inside of it except for the monarch.
The only person you bowed at was of course Rhaenyra herself â your Queen, your sister. Not a perfect Queen and only slightly better sister but you had sworn to her and you valued honour just like your Lord Husband did.
âThe battle is coming,â she explained to you as she pointed at the table with the map of Westeros because you were late to the gathering after flying on Onyx for a little too long this evening. âTomorrow, the armies will clash around Rookâs Rest,â she added and pointed at the place.
âThat is close,â you tilted your head. âBut the castle has no significance to us, does it?â
âWe have already lost enough and we cannot lose more!â one of the Lords protested. âItâs about our honour, my Princess.â
âI want to send a dragon,â Rhaenyra moved one of the stone dragons on the map to put it alongside the Black Army. âI do not intend to use it in battle. No burning, no crushing. I do not wish to be remembered as the first side of this conflict who used a dragon to kill her enemies because once we use them as weapons, the destruction from both sides will be unstoppable,â she explained and the Lords from her council sighed and rolled their eyes.
Those foolish, non-Targaryen men really wanted Rhaenyraâs dragons to cause slaughter, not understanding the possible consequences.
âThe dragon will be there to patrol the battlefield â it will be there just in case the Greens send their own, too. And it will be there to intimidate the enemy. Intimidate only,â Rhaenyra pointed out.
âI shall go,â Baela spoke up and everyone laid their eyes on her but you spotted that Rhaenyra was unsure. Baela was like a daughter to her and even if the dragon was not supposed to actually participate in any fighting, it still was a risky business to go.
âI shall go,â you straightened your back and now everyone looked at you. Baela was visibly unhappy with that, too. She wanted to prove herself.
âButâŚâ She started.
âOnyx is bigger than Moondancer,â you told her. âAnd I am older. This is far too dangerous for you.â
âButâŚâ She sighed again and looked at Rhaenyra in a way that suggested she knew something you had no idea of. âWho is going to tell The Princess?â
âWho is going to tell me what?â You shook your head questioningly as you looked at all the gathered members of the council. The men clasped their hands and looked down or they tried to avoid your gaze in different ways; looking through or behind you, turning their heads away and clearing their throats. âWho is going to tell me what?â You repeated the question, irritated now.
âElaena,â Rhaenys finally spoke up and you looked at her, âit is your husband who leads The Green army now, so we have been informed. Your father-in-law called for him and Ser Gwayne Hightower came all the way from Oldtown to lead the army of his nephew.â
You blinked a few times at that revelation, still not processing it fully.
âAnd Cole?â You asked.
âAegon named him his new Hand,â Rhaenyra informed you. âHe was summoned back to Kingâs Landing.â
âAnd Otto?â You furrowed your brow.
âProbably on his way back to Oldtown, Gods only know,â Rhaenyra scoffed. âIt doesnât matter now, Elaena. What matters is that your husband leads the enemyâs army.â
Short silence occurred and you knew that everyone was observing your reaction carefully as if they were inspecting you. But those past few weeks you had learnt how to keep a poker face on. Your jaw was clenched as you discretely wiped your sweaty hands in your skirts.
âI shall go,â you nodded, surely.
âElaenaâŚâ Rhaenyra gave you a meaningful look as if she was scolding you. âI do not think this is a good idea.â
âIt must be. It is my husband,â you explained.
âDo you think he might stop his army from attacking at the sight of you?â Jacaerys asked you but you spotted a hint of mockery in his voice.
âI do not know. It might motivate him further to attack, it might want him to stop or it might make him indifferent,â you admitted, truthfully. âBut it must be me going there,â you insisted, looking deep into your sisterâs eyes.
You desperately wanted her to understand that it was important for you to see him again â even if it would be under such circumstances.
Rhaenyra nodded and you cracked a smile although some men were whispering between each other about this decision but you decided to pretend not to hear it.
âYou shall leave at dawn,â Rhaenyra told you. âBut, Elaena, remember â do not attack, do you hear me? If The Greens bring their own dragon and they use it, only then you are allowed to join the fight,â she pointed her finger at you.
âI understand,â you nodded your head. It was the reason why you wanted to do it â because it meant patrolling and intimidating only, not the real fight.
âGood. I trust you, sister,â Rhaenyra smiled at you.
âThank you, my Queen.â
In the morning, you didnât even have breakfast, too nervous for the upcoming battle. You let your maids braid your hair according to the Valyrian customs and you wore an armour that had been made for you recently. It would be the first time you'd actually wear it outside.
The armour was made of black metal with the ornaments made of Valyrian steel. It was light and feminine but it was intimidating, too, and surely worthy of a dragonrider. You insisted on the black colour because of Onyxâs scales.
You hid the small portrait of your children inside your armour and you looked at yourself one more time in the mirror. You couldnât help but smile although it was difficult to recognise yourself like this.
âI am a dragon,â you whispered to yourself and lifted your chin up. âI am a Targaryen Princess and I am a dragon blood, a dragon rider â a dragon myself,â you repeated, trying to motivate yourself and with a deep breath, you left the chambers as fast as possible to go to the dragonpit.
Onyx was already waiting for you and a brand new saddle had been placed upon her back â it was matching your black armour. She purred at the sight of you and you petted her nose the way she liked it.
âWe have a job to do, my girl,â you told her. âWe have to scare Gwayne a little,â you chuckled and she huffed in a way that resembled laughter, too.
With a smile, you jumped on her back and you flew out of Dragonstone. Onyx roared when you were up in the sky as if she was saying farewell.
It didnât take long to get to Rookâs Rest on a dragonback but the closer you were to your destination, the more nervous you were becoming. You saw from a distance the banners of the two armies and you could hear the clinging sounds of their armours in the wind, the battlecries and the cannons.
They were starting the battle already when you arrived and Onyx announced you with a long and loud roar. You straightened yourself and looked down proudly, with a smirk on your face. Everything froze below you for a moment and then a thunderous cheer greeted you amongst the Black Army.
It was a powerful feeling, you had to admit. No experience of yours could match with it â no memory from when you had been The Royal Princess living in Kingâs Landing, no memory of your recent time now in Dragonstone and not even any memory of yours from Oldtown where you had been the Lady Hightower.
No amount of respect and power that had ever been shown towards you could match to what you were feeling now â you felt pretty invincible, in fact. And you knew it was bold of you and it was only caused by the sudden rush of adrenaline but in that moment you felt like The Queen yourself. Like you could challenge Rhaenyra and Aegon both â after all, you were their sister, too. Your father had been The King and you were a Targaryen. You had been born to rule over those people below you â those small figures that resembled ants in comparison to your Onyx and its fire.
It was scary how easy it was to forget that you were one of those ants, too.
You ignored the cheers of the Black Army and you looked down at The Greens, searching for one person only â obviously. And you spotted him as your heart skipped a beat.
Gwayne was sitting on his horse in his beautiful armour that you had always admired. Even from this great height you could see that he was looking up with fear in his eyes. You smirked and Onyx roared once again, more angrily this time. The Green Army was panicking as the men were shouting at each other and some were trying to hide.
All the time stopped for you for a short while, though. Your eyes were fixed on your Lord Husband only â it had been a few long weeks apart from him. You wondered what was going inside his head at the moment but most likely it was nothing but a paralysing fear. It was a painful death to die in the fire and he had been telling you about it a few times before that it was one of his fears whenever you had teased him about using Onyx against him. Now, it was no longer a banter between a married couple but reality.
You didnât want to torment him any more. You ordered Onyx to fly away and leave The Greens alone for now as you went back higher in the skies to patrol the battle. Despite giving them a sign that you were not there to kill them, from the corner of your eye, you spotted that some of the cannons of the Green Army were now aimed at you and Onyx.
Gwayne, however, shaking out of his state of fear, ordered them to turn around and aim at the castle and The Blacks instead. You smiled to yourself and kept circling up in the air as Onyx roared.
Despite your strong bond with her, you could feel how uneasy she was, how impatient. It surprised you because Onyx was a young dragon and she had no experience in battle. In fact, you had suspected her to shy away or get scared at the sight the real fight. And now, your girl seemed to be pretty bold and angry as she huffed and puffed, while her muscles tensed.
âLykirÄŤ, Onyx, lykirÄŤ,â you ordered as you patted her neck to calm her down but you had to admit that her restlessness was making you feel worried if you were even able to fully control her after all.
She roared and lowered herself. You squinted your eyes to observe the battle but you had to shout LykirÄŤ! all the time at your dragon because she seemed to be more than eager to join the fight. The sight of her and the sounds she was making seemed to work, though. The Greens were terrified and kept looking up all the time to make sure she wouldnât burn them all any second. Your intimidation plan seemed to be working better than you had expected.
A few times during the battle, you found Gwayneâs eyes somehow and he would look up back at you but then he would ride away on his horse. Each time, your heart clenched inside your chest and Onyx had to feel it because it was when she was growing the most uneasy.
So far, it was the Green Army that had been winning battle after battle but now they seemed to be too distracted by the dragon flying overhead. It was not the fault of your husbandâs leadership â your knowledge of warfare was little but you could see even from up there that most of his orders and ideas were good. It was just simply not enough when a huge beast was a constant deathly treat. The morales were simply too low and you could see that some knights even tried to desert the battlefield in a desperate attempt to save themselves from your hypothetical dragonfire. Meanwhile, The Blacks were not as organised but they felt more confident than ever with The Targaryen Princess watching over them.
âLykirÄŤ, Onyx!â You shouted at your dragon when you felt that her neck was tensing as if she was about to let out the fire. âWhatâs wrong with you, girl?â You hummed to yourself and leaned in to pat her neck and then you froze at the sight below you.
Gwayne was not wearing his helmet anymore and he was no longer in the saddle. You couldnât spot his horse but he was surrounded by the Black Army knights. He was fighting them bravely but he was alone against four men and it was a hopeless struggle yet he refused to give up and become their prisoner. You looked around and spotted that most of the Green knights that remained in the battlefield were struggling in a similar way to your husband. You knew very well how it would end now. It would be the very first victory of your army and Rookâs Rest would be defended.
But at what price?
You could see Gwayneâs face more clearly now as Onyx lowered herself even further. He was exhausted and bruised, dirty from the mud and blood and his lip was cut. You had to fight an urge inside of you to just run into his arms, to hold him again, to kiss him, to be with him.Â
But, so far, it looked like you would never be able to do it since he would lose soon. And you would continue your life with the image of him dying in the battlefield â you would continue your life with regret of leaving him and then doing absolutely nothing to help him in the battlefield.
Onyx groaned loudly and exposed her claws and teeth. You were about to calm her down again and then you noticed something that you had not noticed before â she was not trying to attack the Green Army but⌠the Black one.
You froze as you realised that her eyes were fixated on the knights carrying your sisterâs banners. The fire forming in the depths of her throat was aimed at the men gathered near the castle walls and trying to stop the attack of Gwayneâs army.
Onyx was not loyal to Rhaenyra, after all. Onyx was your dragon and she was loyal to you only. You were her mistress and her rider. She knew you better than anyone else.
Some of the knights of the Black Army cheered at you and your dragon â so confident and sure of themselves that they hadnât noticed that Onyxâs anger was aimed at them. You squinted your eyes at the black banners of Rhaenyra and then the few of the remaining green ones of Aegon.
Gods damn it, you thought. You loved them both â your sister and your brother. But you also did not really care about any of them being the ruler of Westeros because you were not close with any of them. You had been close to your sister but that was fifteen years ago and now she was like a stranger to you. Aegon had been a baby when you left to Oldtown. Your real family â the man you loved, the father of your children â he was down there, struggling, and surely about to die soon if you wouldnât do anything to help him.
âDracarys, Onyx,â you ordered after taking a deep breath in. You watched as if you were outside of your own body how her fire destroyed half of the Black Army in mere seconds. You blinked a few times, still detached physically and mentally from the scene that you were responsible for.
Your dragon seemed to have lots of fun, though. She landed on the ground, crushing a few Black knights on the way. The remaining ones were widening their eyes, too terrified to move or they were trying to run away. Onyx did not need your commands anymore, she just kept on burning them as her waving tail destroyed the castleâs tower, killing dozens of men in the process. You were sitting in the saddle with your back straightened and your chin high, looking over death and destruction with the poker face you had mastered the previous weeks.
You had just become the murderer and the destroyer â the very first person in this war who used her dragon as a weapon. And yet, you felt nothing. Perhaps the regret would come later but all that mattered to you now was that Gwayne was safe again. The remaining Green knights ran up to him and helped him to defeat his enemies and then they stood behind their commander while watching the scene in terror.
When the Black Army was defeated by Onyx nearly single-handedly, you turned her around to face the remaining knights by your husbandâs side and Gwayne himself. Onyx roared at them and you could hear that she was happy to see them but they didnât know her the way you did, therefore they remained terrified. After all, you could have been a maniac who would kill everyone, right?
You were a Targaryen, after all.
You enjoyed their fear for a short while and then you ordered Onyx to lay down and she did so, allowing you to dismount her. Your legs were a bit shaky from all the hours in the saddle and all the emotions but you managed to do it gracefully enough.
You turned around to look into Gwayneâs blue eyes. They were filled with shock and terror but you ignored that completely, finally doing something you had wanted to do for weeks now.
You ran up to him and straight into his arms, nearly knocking him off on the ground as your armours clashed loudly. The knights surrounding him were observing the scene carefully, too scared to react in any way since your Onyx had just given the show of what she was capable of.
Now, however, she looked pretty adorable and innocent as she seemed to take a small nap in the middle of the battlefield full of ashes and blood.
âMy Lord,â you cupped your husbandâs face and he looked into your eyes with a hint of sadness that you could had expected. However, you were glad that it was sadness instead of anger. âWill you ever forgive me for abandoning you?â You asked, nearly innocently, while biting on your lip as if you werenât responsible for all this death and destruction below your feet.
Gwayne looked nervously at Onyx napping behind your back and cracked a sad smile at you.
âDo I have a choice, my Lady Wife?â He tried to make a joke as he put his hands on your waist. âIf I say no, you will order your dragon to burn me.â
âOnyx would never burn you,â you shook your head with a chuckle as you sniffled your tears back. âThat dragon is more difficult to manage than I expected.â
âShe is just like you then, my Princess,â Gwayne raised one of his hands to caress your cheek. His touch was gentle like he could not believe that you were really there, standing in front of him.
âShe is my dragon, after all. Onyx knows my heart â I could lie to myself but I could never lie to her,â you nodded and then you looked around. âWhat a mess I have caused.â
âIndeed,â Gwayne only nodded and took his hand away from you.
He turned around and ordered his men to look for the wounded knights and to go for the castle since it was practically left for the taking now. They had to put the new banners on the walls now. You kept standing there and waiting for him to finish so you would be left alone to talk now. When it happened, he looked at you with a sigh and you cracked a smile at his handsome face even though it was bruised and dirty.
âI had to leave. She is my sister, I have sworn to her, she needed me,â you explained.
âI know,â Gwayne nodded. âIt broke my heart, Elaena, but I understood. At least some part of me did. I could not understand how you could leave our children like that,â he approached you and you looked away, too ashamed to meet his gaze.
âHow are they? What have you told them?â
âThey are safe,â Gwayne assured you. âThey miss youâŚâ He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. âI have lied to them⌠Well, not really. I have told them that you went to visit your sister. That it was an urgent family matter and you had no time to say farewell but you would be back⌠Soon,â Gwayne explained. âThey are too young to know about the war so they believed me.â
âI doubt Steffon did. He is ten and two now, of course he knows about the war,â you pointed out and shyly looked up. âI shall go to them, even today. I shall take Onyx and go back to Oldtown to hold my children andâŚâ You stopped when you realised something painful. âOf course, that is, if you allow me,â you fixed yourself.
âYou are the Lady of Oldtown, I would never forbid you from the city,â Gwayne shook his head. âAnd you are their mother, they need you.â
âYes, but so do you. Especially now,â you explained. âAfter seeing our children, I shall come back to you. I shall accompany you in each battle from now on. I have started something you have no idea of⌠Now Rhaenyra will make sure to send her dragons to war, too. Her pain and anger will be great from my betrayal,â you pointed out.
âWhy did you betray her?â Gwayne asked, raising his eyebrow. âYou have sworn to her, havenât you? What made you change your mind to support King Aegon instead?â
âFuck Aegon!â You dismissed him and he widened his eyes. âAnd fuck Rhaenyra. I donât care about any of them.â
âYou shall not be heard saying such things,â Gwayne chuckled nervously.
âThey are my siblings, I can speak whatever of them,â you shrugged your arms. âI am by your side only,â you confessed and you looked away.
You knew it was a bit stupid to confess such things when you were the one who had abandoned him without a word of a warning or any explanation. You should be grateful that he was talking to you instead of cutting your head off â as your Lord Husband he had every right to after your stunt and since you were technically a traitor to both of the sides, no one would even punish him for killing you.
But Gwayne moved even closer to you and grabbed your wrist to squeeze it, which made you look up at him shyly again.
âI love you, Elaena. And please, do forgive me that it took me losing you to finally say it out loud. And if it took you running away to realise the same about me, then I can be only grateful for this experience. You are a dragon, my Princess, and I am sorry for forgetting about that,â he whispered.
You couldnât believe your ears⌠He was apologising to you?!
âDo not be too greedy, Lord Husband. Do you really expect me to admit out loud that I love you as if I havenât just betrayed my own army for you? Is that not enough?â You chuckled and so did he, awkwardly. He leaned in to place a gentle kiss upon the palm of your hand and then he caressed it lovingly. You could feel the longing and yearning in those gestures. âIâve missed you,â you confessed. âIâve missed us.â
âSo have I,â Gwayne kissed your forehead. It was not proper to exchange such affections in public but you were in the middle of the battlefield so you did not bother to care about it. âBut it would be my greatest wish for you to stay in Oldtown after coming back there. I do not want you on the battlefield, Elaena.â
âYou canât stop me,â you shrugged your arms and squeezed his wrists lovingly.
âHavenât you caused enough trouble already?â He tried a different approach as he smirked at you.
âWatch me,â you smirked back and gently kissed him on the lips.
You hurried through the halls of The Hightower while all the maids and servants were staring at you with widened eyes. They certainly had not expected to ever see you again but no one was trying to stop you. You rushed to the nursery room where all your children had been gathered after your arrival. You had changed from your armour into a comfortable dress and had ordered your maids that you wanted to see your sons and daughters.
You finally pushed the doors open and tears of joy streamed down your cheeks at the sight of their faces. Loras, Lysa and Roslin hurried to you with big smiles and hugged you tightly. You crouched down to squeeze them all lovingly.
âMummy!â Little Roslin seemed to be the happiest and she was practically shaking at the sight of you. Your heart ached for her when you kissed her all over her tiny face.
âWeâre so happy to see you again, Mother,â Loras greeted you like a big boy and you cracked a smile at him before kissing his forehead.
âI am so happy to see you again, too, my love. Iâve missed you terribly,â you confessed, looking at Steffon from the corner of your eye. The silver haired boy was keeping his distance from you and staring at you questioningly. âSteffon?â You called for him and he walked up to you reluctantly.
âMother,â he only said and kissed your cheek before moving away. âDoes father know that youâre here?â
âOf course,â you furrowed your brow at him. âI saw him yesterday,â you nodded at him but he didnât look convinced.
âAnd how was the time with your sister?â Lysa asked and you kissed her cheeks.
âIt was good,â you nodded with a sad smile. âBut I regretted that I couldnât be with you.â
âWill you stay now?â Loras asked and you caressed his head gently.
âI wish I could but I have to join your father,â you explained. âWe will be back soon. Together,â you assured him.
âFather left for the war,â Steffon pointed out.
âAnd I must, too. I am a Targaryen and a dragonrider, my darling,â you tried to explain. âEither way, letâs not dwell on that now. We have a whole day to spend together,â you squeezed the hands of your girls.
You didnât leave your children even for a second for the whole day and in the evening you allowed them to sleep with you in your chambers that you share with Gwayne. Since he was not in Oldtown, there was a lot of empty space in the bed. Steffon did not join you in the evening, though, and for the whole day he was roaming around but never actively spending his time with you either. It was hurting you deeply but you wanted to give him space and you were aware that he was old enough to realise more than youâd like him to. You could not blame him for being angry.
Watching your sweet babies sleep, you could not drift off to the land of dreams yourself. You had spent the previous night in the arms of your husband after weeks of being apart and it had surely helped you to fall asleep but now you were being haunted by the visions of what had happened in the battlefield and of what Rhaenyraâs reaction had to be after hearing about your betrayal.
You were laying on your back and staring at the ceiling when the doors creaked as they opened and you lifted yourself on your elbows to see the intruder. It was Steffon.
âMother?â He whispered. âAre you asleep?â
âNo, my love. Come in,â you whispered back and carefully left the bed, making sure not to wake up the rest of your children.
You approached your son and put your hands on his shoulders. The night was cold, therefore there was a fire burning in the fireplace. You brought him closer and you both sat on a fluffy carpet there. Steffon avoided your gaze but you could see he was dying to ask you something.
âWhat is it, my love?â You fixed his silver hair gently.
âI know what the war is about and that you left to see your sisterâŚâ He mumbled out quietly. âYou chose her. Not us,â he pointed out and dared to look up, his lilac eyes meeting yours.
âNo, I chose you. You have no idea what I have done, the choice I have made,â you nodded at him and caressed his cheek with your finger. âI left to see her, she is my sister, my blood. I grew up alongside her, we share the same father and the same mother. But there was a hole in my chest because I missed you and⌠And I missed your father, too,â you confessed.
âI have never seen him sadder,â Steffon said and your heart clenched inside your chest. âI knew it was not about you visiting your sister. I knew immediately you had abandoned us.â
âI know you are angry at me now and you have every right to be. And I know how much children hate it when they are being told that but one day you shall understand it. Because you are a Targaryen, perhaps the most out of all my children,â you smiled at him.
âBecause of my hair and eyes?â
âNo, my love. All of my children are as Targaryen as Hightower. But you have the spirit⌠The fire,â you told him. âI love all my children dearly but you are a dragon,â you nodded.
âDo you have to leave again?â He asked and his lilac eyes filled with tears.
âIâll be back,â you promised. âBut Iâm a dragonrider and when the war calls, I am on the go,â you explained. âYour father needs me by his side and King Aegon needs more dragons.â
Steffon sniffed his tears back and he finally moved closer to hug you. You wrapped your arms around him and placed a kiss on the top of his head.
In the evening of the very next day you were already dismounting Onyx in Kingâs Landing. All that travelling had been exhausting for you and her but it was necessary. You patted her and allowed her to rest in the dragonpit as you were being escorted to The Red Keep by a few guards.
You were wearing your armour again even though it felt a bit wrong to wear the armour that Rhaenyra had requested to be made for you so you could fight the war for her.
Gwayne was waiting for you by the gates to the castle. You smiled widely at the sight of him and you ran up to your husband as he ordered the guards to walk away because he would escort you to The King himself.
âAnd how was it?â He asked you after kissing the palm of your hand.
âOnly Steffon knew, just as I suspected,â you sighed. âBut we have explained everything to each other. I believe he has forgiven me or at least he is no longer cross with me,â you nodded. âI miss them again but the pain is less when I know I am with you,â you smiled and Gwayne took you by your arm to lead you to the council meeting.
âYou have become quite a controversial figure, my Princess,â he informed you and you chuckled nervously.
âI do wonder why,â you tried to joke.
The doors were opened in front of you and you were announced as Princess Elaena Targaryen, Lady Hightower while everyone was staring at you.
The man sitting right in front of you had to be your brother Aegon because he was taking your fatherâs seat by the table. You bowed down at him and after a short while of silence, he laughed and clapped his hands.
âSister!â He greeted you so happily that you were nearly suspecting an ambush. He stood up and rushed to your side to wrap his arms tightly around you. âSister Elaena! How good it is to see you again! Do you remember me?â He took a step back and looked deep into your eyes, hoping for a positive answer like an excited puppy.
You cracked a smile at him and dared to move your hand up to brush a single silver hair strand behind his ear in a motherly way.
âOf course I do, my King,â you nodded. âYou were a small babe then but I remember it fondly,â you assured him and it was no lie. âYou loved to sit on my lap by the table and eat all the sweets that I was spoiling you with despite our fatherâs scolding looks. It was always our secret how many cakes you ate,â you reminded him and Aegon grinned at you.
âThis is my sister!â He pointed his finger at you after turning around to face his council. âMy sister who has burnt Rhaenyraâs army for me. Her loyalty shall not be questioned,â he announced and walked away to sit on his chair again.
You didnât want to correct him that you hadnât burnt anyone for him because it would be a political suicide to do so. You only cracked a smile at your husband. You didnât expect the greeting to go so smoothly. Aegon seemed to be very desperate for any sort of attention or affection.
âPrincess Elaenaâs loyalty shall still be proven,â the tall young man without one eye smirked at you. That had to be your brother Aemond, whom you hadnât met.
You sighed and rolled your eyes at that. Each side had their Daemon, apparently.
âI will be proving my loyalty to The King, brother. I do not owe you anything for we are equals,â you reminded him with a smirk, too.
Suddenly, Queen Alicent stood up and approached you to give you a warm hug. You hugged her back even though you were surprised by that welcome from her.
âWe are happy to have you back,â she said and you spotted honesty alongside the sadness in her big, brown eyes. You nodded your head at her.
âMy Queen,â you greeted her.
âQueen Dowager,â she fixed you. âHelaena is The Queen now. Do you remember her?â
âOf course,â you smiled at the image of tiny Helaena from your memories. âI would love to see her.â
âAfter the meeting,â Queen Alicent nodded and pointed at the empty chair for you. Gwayne stood behind you as if he was your sworn guard.
Well, as your Lord Husband, he was.
After the meeting of King Aegonâs council, you went to Queen Helaenaâs chambers with Queen Alicent.
âHelaena, you have a guest,â her mother opened the doors gently. âIt is your sister, Princess Elaena.â
After that introduction, you walked inside and bowed your head in front of your younger sister. She was standing by the window and turned her head around as her eyes widened at the sight of you.
âAn oath-breaker,â she greeted you in a mysterious way that made a chill go down your spine. âYou bring death and destruction.â
You had no idea how to answer that and you looked at Alicent, searching for some sort of explanation but she only blushed and looked down, uncomfortably.
âOur Queen often speaks in riddles,â she told you.
âNo, your majesty,â you shook your head, âI do know very well what our Queen means.â

ARE YOU SURE?
carl grimes x fem!reader
tags: smut, awkwardish sex so watch out, p in v!
masterlist pinned on my profile! (i canât link anythinggg)
read ghost in the woods. (also pinned on masterlist)
You always felt like crushes made your life more interesting. Even after the apocalypse started. Although that wasnât able to be your main priority throughout the years, the world became more normal. The walkers, the quietness, the fighting. It all made sense and you adapted. Like humans are supposed to. However, with everything going back to normal, you were able to focus on the things you wanted rather than needed.
That being said, you were able to focus on someone you had quite a large crush on.
Carl.
You looked at him and wondered how no one else has seen him like you do. Just look at him. He has probably the most perfect hair youâve ever seen. The sweetest looking lips and freckles that complimented his face so well. You were practically enthralled with this man and he had no clue. Or so you thought. Him being so clueless to how obsessed you were with him frustrated you to no end. You talked to him occasionally, whenever it seemed best.
During certain events youâd talk to him or youâd smile at him when you crossed paths. Sometimes you had the same watch shift and you had hours of just talking with each other. For some reason that never translated to outside work. He was always busy with Judith.
You just wanted to talk to him more. Anything.
Thatâs why, when Rick came up to you both during a watch shift and asked you to go on a run for him, you were ecstatic. Nervous like hell, but excited nonetheless. âI was wonderinâ if the two of you would be willin to go out tomorrow for some supplies. Nothing major just some batteries and what not.â Rick explains. You look over to Carl and he looks back to give a small smile before responding to his dad. âYeah that shouldnât be a problem.â He says. âWell itâll have to be a bit later than a usual runâŚwe wonât have enough people here to take your watch shifts till about noon.â
So it was a late run. Sounds like youâd have to be very focused.
And you were. At first at least. It was very awkward, it made you realize you never talked to him outside of working which technically you still were you just were trapped in a confined space alone. You began to overthink. You started to wonder if heâd seen you stare at him or if he saw how much you sought him out when you left your house in Alexandria.
But he didnât know. All he knew is that he had to keep cool. You didnât know it, but Carl was just as obsessed with you as you were. Usually when heâs like this heâd act on it. At least he did with Enid before they broke up. He would initiate everything with Enid, but with youâŚwell you made him nervous. You were just really pretty and he was scared to look like some loser in front of you. The crush was so intense he actively avoided you which confused him really.
It explained his silence in the car. You two were told to drive out sort of far, but you decided to stop at an abandoned house first. Getting there, the sun was going down so it had to be quick. âGuess we should make this fast.â Carl states, getting out of the car and shutting the door. You agree. âYep. BatteriesâŚother shit.â You giggle. He smiles and you both head inside shortly after clearing it. It was pretty messy, paper and books everywhere along with random pillows scattered.
You both take separate paths into the home just to make sure there werenât any surprises waiting for you behind doors. You have your knife in hand and a flashlight in the other, ready to open a bedroom door. Once you do, you open it to see a peculiar sight.
The bedroom was very nicely decorated to say the least.
There was a large bed with silk red sheets over it along with some nice pillows. there were dead rose petals scattered over it and the floor. The drawers in the room were all open with clothes falling out of them so you can only assume that their plans were scrapped. The bed was simply untouched. You sort of just stand there and stare at it, since that was all you really could do. You take it in and think about what couldâve happened when Carl comes up behind you, completely unaware. âHey I checked the rest of theâwoah..â He sees the bedroom and you snap out of it.
âHm?â You look at him and heâs completely red. He takes a moment before continuing. âI checked the rest of the house. Itâs safe. We should look through and find what we can.â He tells you. âRight. Yeah, of course.â So you scavenge through the house, mostly finding everything you needed in the kitchen and bathrooms. You noticed there was only one room however. Once you gathered everything you thought would be useful, you and Carl decided to leave, although it was unlikely you would until the next morning.
Before leaving you looked through the window to see that it was pitch black outside. You let the curtain fall back closed. âIâm not sure itâs a great idea to leave here.â You tell him. He looks at you and processes, letting his bag fall off his shoulder. âHelp me barricade the door.â You both move to push one of the larger chairs in the living room to sit against the door. Once youâre all done, you decided to settle sleeping arrangements.
âI can sleep out here. On the couch.â He says, looking back to the couch which had no cushions on it. You look back at him and giggle. âWe can both stay in the room? If thatâs fine with you. Thereâs pillows in there.â You tell him. He hesitates but agrees. In the room you realized there a lack of comfort. You ended up lighting all the small candles and leaving them on the tables or dressers around the room to make it comfier. There were pillows but little blankets. The only ones being the silk sheets that were on the bed. He insists heâs fine so you leave him be and kick your shoes off the lay on the bed.
You both sit there in silence. Nothing. Not even a goodnight, the tension is incredibly thick and youâre both hyper aware of it. God itâs pissing you off. Doesnât he get it? Doesnât he see the way you look at him? You piss him off just as much. He just doesnât have the balls to say it. Itâs his fault after all, he avoids you constantly. He wants you. He wants you so fucking bad he just canâtâ
âJust lay on the bed.â You blurt. His eyes open instantly. âItâs fine you can just lay on the bed.â You repeat. Carl slowly sits up and looks up at the bed. âAre you sure?â He asks. âYeah Iâm sure. Weâre mature enough to do this without it being a thing. Right?â You sit up and look down at him. He just looks at you. Admiring how good you looked with just the warm lighting the candles gave. It almost turned him on. So he grows the balls to get up and kick his shoes off to lay on the bed. You lay back down and you both just sort of lay there, staring at the ceiling.
Carl was terrified. But he wanted you, he really did. He knew if he had the chance to do anything, itâd be right now. He canât back out, he canât avoid you. So he made the first move. That being, rolling to his side to look at you. You furrow your eyebrows and turn to see him, and it almost makes you laugh. You chuckle. âWhat?â You say amused. Your smile makes him happy. You reciprocate his action, turning onto your right side to face him. You sort of stare at each other and he has the slightest smile on his face. Itâs very subtle but itâs there.
âWhat?â You repeat. He looks at you and builds up some courage. âYou look pretty.â He says shortly. God you just wanted to scream how you felt. But he beats you to it. âIâve sort ofâŚI dunno Iâve been avoiding you for some reason. Well not some reason, I know the reason I just have this stupid crush andââ He nervously rambles which you find kind of sweet. But you suddenly get really excited. Was he seriously confessing? Right now? Everything went mute for a moment, you honestly heard nothing of what he was saying. You just felt the urge to kiss him. So you did.
Your hand moves beneath his chin to hold him in place while you press your lips to his. You both felt incredibly relieved, prompting a smile from his lips into the kiss. He almost moans, kissing you is all heâd been wanting. He grips your wrist and he moves his own hand to hold the side of your face, deepening the kiss. He moves over you, turning you to your back while kissing you deeply. Your hands move to his arms, running them up and down the fabric of his flannel. That reminds you.
You still have clothes on!
You pull back from him and he looks down at you, watching as you push his flannel off his shoulders. He realizes and is all for it. âAre weâŚum..â Carl lets you just start to take his clothes off with no problem. âThis is fine.â He says with a smile, watching as you try your hardest to unbuckle his belt. Once you do he finally stops you to begin taking your clothes off, except you stopped him once he got to your bra. âNot yet. Please?â You question. He retracts his hands from your back and nods. âYeah of course. I want my shirt on tooâŚif thatâs okay?â He looks down at you hopeful. You smile at him sweetly and nod.
âThatâs okay.â You tell him. Of course you guys still wanted each other, but you still had your fears and insecurities. Not to mention you werenât the closest just yet, this was on a whim. âBut we can stillâŚyou know?â Carl questions, wanting to make sure you still wanted to go through with it. You nod and he takes that as a sign to pull his jeans off, meanwhile you take yours off. Once youâre ready, he looks down and canât quite see. The room was dark, even with the candles. âUmâŚâ He furrows his eyebrows but fuck heâs aching. He gently rubs himself over your folds, eliciting moans from the both of you. âShit that feels so good. Really wet Iââ
âDo you need help?â You cut him off, although you were getting impatient. It felt good but you needed him inside of you. It was a feeling youâd never felt before but you craved it. Terribly. âIf you canât find the right place? The hole, Carl.â How embarrassing for him. But to be fair it was dark in the room and heâd never done this in his life. But he agrees to the help and you lean down and almost guide him. Feeling his tip graze across your folds once again had you moan, but he prodded himself at your hole right away.
He breathed in sharply but slowly started to push himself all the way inside of you, bottoming out deep inside. His eyes fall shut and he drops his forehead to your shoulder. âAre you okay?â You turn to see him but heâs just breathing so heavy. âM-mhm. Just really tight. Nâ warmâŚI donât know if Iâll last long Im sorry.â He tries to adjust and pushes deeper in. You moan and itâs so much for him. He sits there for a moment, doing his best to catch his breath. Although that takes him a moment. Once heâs ready he pulls back to look at you.
He grins before starting to move his hips, starting in a really irregular manner. He was struggling a little bit but you could tell in the noises he was making. He was trying hard to not finish. He didnât want to embarrass himself. Soon after, he ended up finding a nice rhythm. It felt amazing for the both of you, the moans slipping from your mouth got him closer each second. Your hands went from gripping the silk sheets beneath you to his side, grabbing at his shirt as you got closer.
He tries to shut himself up by kissing at your neck, occasionally biting. The sound of him in your ear was absolutely perfect. âFeels so good,â He says, over and over between whimpers. âCanât take it you feel amazing.â It makes you smile that he can find such pleasure with you. He goes back to your neck, sucking marks to the skin.
It got to the point where he barely retracted himself from your heat, instead he kept buried inside. His breath got heavier and heavier, your moans got louder. âCarl Iââ You start, unable to finish your sentence. âMhm right there.â He shoves himself all the way inside, hitting that perfect spot deep inside you. You finish, clenching around him which makes him pull out straight away to finish on your tummy. All over your shirt too.
It takes you a moment to catch your breath, but watching Carl do the same made you so happy. It finally happened. After a while of what felt like pining, you finally had him. He smiles, still breathing heavily as he rests his head on your chest. You wrap your arms around him and run your fingers through his hair. You stew on the fact that heâs in your arms. Heâs still getting over the fact he was inside you. Also you felt perfect.
Heâs really glad he took that chance.
The next day the drive back was quiet yet peaceful. Except you were both thinking the same thing. How would you tell everyone back home? Would this keep happening, were you guys going to be together officially?
I guess youâd find out.
a/n: so actually donât flame me if this is dog shit IM SORRYYY if itâs terrible or if thereâs spelling mistakes iâm just a girl letâs leave me alone on mistypes. anyway guys idk what the hell is going on with matchups, donât ask me dawg iâve done three in total out of sixteen who knows when those will be finished

Opposites attract | Katie McCabe x Arsenal!Reader
Where Katie loses her temper during a match and you're on the receiving end of her punch
Woso masterlist | Words: 1.5k
-----
Arsenal was known for its family dynamic, but even within familyâs there were links that didnât work as well as others. Within Arsenal that was you and Katie, you both worked great with the team, just not always with each other.
The two of you were polar opposites. Katie was outspoken, and fierce. She was often described as an aggressive player, and had a tendency to let her emotions get the best of her on the pitch. You, on the other hand, were more reserved, practical, and strategic. You kept your cool even in the tensest moments.Â
Your interactions with each other mostly consisted of professional exchanges, never really meeting outside of football. You of course had many team outings outside of football with the team, but either only one of you attended or youâd stay away from each other at it. The dynamic worked well enough for the team, so everyone just let it be what it was.Â
After Katie got taken down for the fourth time against Tottenham, it was to no surprise to you that she got up and shoved the player that fouled her. You roll your eyes as you run over to aid Kim, who was trying to get in between Katie and Ashleigh Neville. The two of them are now yelling at each other and pointing angry fingers. Poor Kim you thought, as you arrived.Â
Katie lifts her arm in a punching motion, and youâre quick to grab ahold of her arm and pull it back, âKatie, please calm down.â Katie in all her anger pulls her arm out of your hold only for her elbow to smash into your face. You stumble backwards and instantly reach for your face.
Somehow Katie immediately calms down when she realises that she hurt you. She left Asleigh Neville alone without a second thought and knelt to your side. âShit, I'm sorry y/n. Are you alright?â You look up at her, âJust piss off, Katie.â She raises her hands and steps aside. The medical team comes to check you out since you were still clutching your face.
âIs it broken?â You ask them as you remove your hand to reveal a bloody nose. The medics get to work on checking it out. Katie steps forward to get to your side, but Steph holds her back âShe told you to go away, mate, give her some space.â They worriedly look at your bloody face. âSince when do you care about y/n?â Beth asks when she joins the pair.Â
With a furrowed brow Katie turns to Beth, âWhat are you talking about? I've always cared.â Beth snickers, âWell, maybe you should act on that, cause most people think that the two of you hate each other.â
âIt's not broken,â You release a sigh of relief. âBut your cheek has already started bruising a little, so I'm afraid you will get a black eye.â You look over to Katie and roll your eyes. All of this over a stupid tackle. You let the medical team help you up, and keep a cloth to your nose as they walk you off the field.Â
Since there was already a bit of swelling in your cheek, they thought it was best to get you subbed off, as you hit the 60 minute mark anyways. Youâre still annoyed though, cause you definitely could've played the full 90 minutes if Katie had just stayed calm. You watched the rest of the match on the sidelines with an ice pack held on your face.Â
Bethâs words lingered on Katieâs mind. Did people really think you hated each other? Did you think she hated you? She was determined to take Bethâs advice and show that she did actually care about you.
You were confused when you heard a knock on your door the next morning, and your confusion grew even more when you realised who was at your door. âKatie, what are you doing here?âÂ
Katieâs focus was on your face, and the black eye that had fully made its way onto your face. âIf youâre just going to keep staring, Iâm closing the door.â Your words brought Katie back to reality. âSorry, I didnât mean to stare. I am actually here to apologise for hurting you.â She holds up the small bouquet of flowers for you to take. âI know itâs not much, but I wanted to check in to see how you were doing, and tell you how terribly sorry I am for letting things get out of hand, and hurting you in the process.âÂ
Youâre a little stunned by Katieâs apologies, never having expected her to do so, and definitely not in a home visit scenario. âThank you, Katie. I appreciate it, really.â You take the flowers from her. Before you can say anything else, Katie reaches for something else. âI also got you some breakfast. Beth said you loved this place, but I didnât know what you liked from their menu, so I got a bunch of stuff. I didnât think just flowers would be enough.âÂ
The gigantic bag of food comes into your line of vision and your eyes widen. âThat is food for a whole village.â You step to the side and watch Katie expectantly, âAre you not coming in to help me eat this massive bag of food?âÂ
Katie grins, maybe you didnât hate her after all. âIâd love to.â She steps inside and follows you to the dinning table where she starts unpacking the various containers. You watch your table get fuller and fuller, âWhile I appreciate it, you know you didnât have to do all of this right?â Katie looks up at you with sincere eyes, âI wanted to. I know we tend to have our differences, but I wanted to make sure that you didnât think I hated you or something.âÂ
You shake your head instantly, âI never thought you did. Weâre just polar opposites in our approaches to things, and sometimes those differences donât click.â Katie sighs in relief before taking a seat. âThatâs good to hear, and yeah we can have quite different approaches, but that doesnât mean we canât try to find a way to work better together.â In agreement you nod your head. âIâd like that.â
As you both start eating, the conversation flows more easily than you expected. You and Katie were usually not in a setting like this, but you had expected awkwardness or tension. Neither one was there, you felt comfortable sharing breakfast with the defender.Â
Halfway through breakfast you catch Katie staring at your bruise again. âYou know staring at it isnât going to make it heal quicker, right?â Her face instantly turns serious. âI am really sorry about what happened yesterday. I lost my temper and you paid the price. I promise that it wonât happen again.â You smile appreciatively, âApology accepted. I know you never meant to hurt me, but it did sting a little. Literally.â You eye Katie on the last word of the sentence and the both of you burst out laughing.Â
Once youâve calmed down, Katie turns to you. âMaybe you can teach me your ways of always staying calm out on the pitch?â You nod, âI can definitely do that, but only if you teach me how to stand up for myself more on the pitch. I think we could learn from each other and have more of a middle ground, what do you think?â Katie smiles and nobs, âI like that, itâs a deal.â
While your on pitch behaviours arenât changed instantly, the team noticed an immediate difference in your and Katieâs relationship off the pitch. During training you actually worked together, and outside of football they saw the two of you in the same places for the first time in a long time.Â
Since that apology breakfast, Katie had come over more often. At first it was just to âtake care of youâ since she was the reason you were injured, though you kept insisting that you were totally fine. Once the bruise was fully healed, Katie couldnât use the same excuse anymore, but you were also enjoying her presence so you didnât need a reason.
It surprised you at first, how much you had in common with the defender, but once you set aside your differences, you and Katie grew closer together quickly.Â
Then one day after practice Katie approached you. âI know we usually do breakfast, but there is this new restaurant that opened up near my place that I think you would really like. Could I take you there some time, maybe?â Your smile grows, âAre you asking me out on a date?â
Katie nervously looks up at you, âYes, but it could be as just friends if youâd be more into that.â Your smile grows even bigger, âI never imagined Iâd see the day when Katie McCabe would be nervous.â You chuckle lightly as a blush creeps up onto her cheeks. âI would love to go on a date with you.â You place a kiss on her cheek, and then turn and walk away. âPick me up tonight at 6pm?â Katie smiles, âIâll be there!â

Here's my piece for the @mcspirkevents Big Bang! I was paired with the excellent @twinkboimler and their fic Jim Kirk's Guide to Delivering the Goods, which you can find here (E, AOS McSpirk, 60k)
Summer just started, and Jim is bored out of his mind. The courses he needs to take arenât being offered until the second half of the summer, so he has an entire month to bother his roommate Bones. At Bonesâ suggestion to get a job, Jim fixes up a motorbike and starts making deliveries to people in town, including a cute Vulcan professor named Spock. But when Jim is beaten up while making a delivery, itâs Spock who delivers Jim back to the apartment he shares with Bones. After the meet-cute from hell, Spock and Bones start dating⌠and so do Jim and Spock. With neither roommate aware theyâre both dating the same man, thereâs only so long that things can go well for them before the other shoe finally drops.
Also as part of my Big Bang offerings, I made a fic playlist (below) â partly a love letter to McSpirk, partly a love letter to myself and Fletcher's overlapping music taste.
Thank you again to Fletcher @twinkboimler for working on this project with me, it's been an absolute joy!
Until the Birds Return on Spotify
Tracks and choice lyrics below the cut (contains vague spoilers):

Factories | Autoheart
When you found my body by the lake You wasn't sure if I was still alive
You and Your Friend | Snake River Conspiracy
Must we go run through our lives with our eyes closed To the loving happiness that we can share I think I'm in love with you and your friend
My Gal, My Guy | Darlingside
My (guy) he's the bluest ocean, (he) Waits under the bluest sky for me I belong to (him) When I'm in the water
Santa Fe | Autoheart
Heaven sent You were like a present I should not have kept A sticker on your forehead saying 'breakable And I broke you bad

We might have kissed a bit too soon I could feel what was coming and I didn't mean to hurry you I just knew that time would find our fingers linked, through and through Forgive me, I'm human too
Bike Dream | Rostam
Two boys, one to kiss your neck And one to bring you breakfast Get you out of bed
Don't Go | Yazoo
Can't stop now Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Jenny | The Mountain Goats
I hopped on back of the bike, wrapped my arms around you I sank my face into your hair And then I inhaled as deeply as I possibly could You were sweet and delicious as the warm desert air And you pointed your headlamp toward the horizon We were the one thing in the galaxy God didn't have his eyes on 900 cc's of raw whining power, no outstanding warrants for my arrest
Old Old Fashioned | Josh Ritter (Frightened Rabbit cover)
Oh let's get old fashioned Back to how things used to be If I get old, old fashioned Would you get old, old fashioned with me?
