it's just dawned on me that i fucking love endings where there is an alternative to just Killing The Bad People because if there's one mentality that's more toxic to humanity than any other, it's the idea that some people are Just Bad and deserve bad things to happen to them, and how people use that belief to justify doing bad things to people in turn. seeing that cycle get broken in media and forcing people to stop doing awful shit rather than just get killed thinking they were right along is way more cathartic and compelling to me

He does the same with me! It's so utterly infuriating, why does he think just because I'm young I don't know what an orgy is?

I do believe he views all humans as deeply immature. I am nearing fifty now and he still patronises me whenever we meet.

The Apple of His Eye
Chapter 2: Friends In Low Places
Pairing: Nanami x f!reader
Word Count: ~4.9k
cw: alcohol consumption, drunken behavior, karaoke, our couple gets handsy, FLUFF, a few mentions of popular songs in the English language
Summary: You meet Nanami’s friends for the first time. Plenty of alcohol is consumed and you all end up at a karaoke bar.  
Author's Notes: This is the second fluffy side story for A Bento For Kento! I personally love karaoke myself, and I truly believe that Kento does too! I rewrote this to omit most of the English-language songs that I originally mentioned (I name-dropped A LOT before), just because I don't think they'd sing only these type of songs doing karaoke in Japan. Also, this is partially inspired by this Youtube playlist, which was one of the first pieces of fan-made media that got me into Nanami LOL. Anyways, thank you for reading! Divider credit to @/saradika.
Previous Chapter | The Apple of His Eye Masterlist | Next Chapter
Tumblr media
Near the end of October, Nanami receives a call from Gojo. They talk and text often, but this phone call in particular is a special one. “Nanamin! How’s it going buddy?” Gojo’s voice is peppy, as usual.
“I’m fine. What is this about?”
“I’m taking Shoko out for an early birthday celebration tomorrow night. She wants to go to this sake bar she likes. You in?”
“Tomorrow night?” Nanami confirms. 
“Yeah. Oh, and bring your girlfriend too,” Gojo adds cheerfully. “I’d love to meet her. Shoko is curious too.”
Nanami makes a strangled noise in his throat before asking, “Why?”
His friend chuckles. “Because it’s been three months since you started dating and I still know nothing about her. I’d like to find out who your mystery woman is.”
“I told you. She’s Nakamura’s older sister.”
“Yes, yes, I know all about the bentos and love notes, blah blah blah. But I want to hang out with her, get to know her better! She sounds like an angel if she puts up with you.”
“I’m hanging up.”
“I’m kidding, I’m kidding! But seriously, bring her out with us. I already know Shoko and her will get along well. It’s only me she has to worry about,” he laughs mischievously.
Nanami tenses up, already annoyed at the type of shenanigans his colleague will pull out of his sleeves. “Gojo, I will not subject my girlfriend to any of your harassment.”
“I won’t harass her!” he whines. “Have I ever harassed any of your other girlfriends?”
“I’ve never introduced you to any of my other girlfriends.”
“Exactly. My track record is clean. C’mon. It’ll be fun, I promise.”
He takes a minute to contemplate. Introducing his girlfriend to Shoko isn’t the problem. He’s always had a respectable relationship with the laid-back doctor. However, exposing his sweet darling to the incorrigible Satoru Gojo…he shudders thinking about all the ways it could go wrong. Deep down, he knows nothing serious will happen. As much grief as he gives Gojo, Nanami still considers him one of his closest friends. However, he knows him too well; there’s no doubt Gojo will try to find ways to embarrass him in front of her. He finds pleasure in doing this, seeing Nanami’s face turn bright red after recounting one or several stories of their past together. 
He understands it’s an important step in any relationship to become acquainted to one another’s friends. He has already met hers, along with her immediate family. So far, Nanami has not introduced her to anyone in his life. His parents live too far to visit and as far as friends go, they are few and far between. Maybe this is a good opportunity to show her this part of his life. 
Eventually, he agrees. “Fine. Text me the details for tomorrow and we’ll meet you and Ieiri there.”
“Yay! Can’t wait. I’ll start making a list of questions to ask her. I’ll get Shoko to make a list too.”
Scowling into the phone, Nanami mutters, “I take it back, we’re not going anymore.”
“Kidding, kidding! Okay, see you tomorrow. Byeeeee!”
After they hang up, Nanami buries his face in hands. What did he get themselves into?
~~~
Saturday night, you and Nanami hold hands as you walk from the train station towards the sake bar. In your other hand is a small gift bag with a bottle of good Japanese whiskey that you picked up last night. Yesterday, your boyfriend informed you that you’ll be meeting two of his colleagues: Shoko Ieiri, who was his upperclassman at Jujutsu High, and the infamous Satoru Gojo. You’ve heard stories about this man, not only from Nanami, but from your brother Ren, who is currently Gojo’s student. Enough tales to have a vague idea of his personality. Playful, comical, a bit naughty, and constantly pestering your boyfriend. 
You have a strong feeling that the two of you will get along great. 
As you approach the entrance to the bar, you feel Nanami’s grip tighten around you. He turns to you with a clenched jaw and nervous look in his eyes. “I apologize in advance for anything outrageous Gojo does tonight. Please don’t think poorly of me after this encounter.”
You giggle, brushing a strand of hair away from his face. “Honey, don’t you think you’re being a bit dramatic? I’m sure he isn’t as awful as you say he is. In fact, he sounds fun.”
He sighs. “Okay. Don’t say I didn’t warn you though. Once we enter this establishment, there’s no turning back. We are essentially hostages under his control the rest of the night.”
“What do you mean?” you ask, but before you finish your question, he leads you into the bar, amused and now slightly spooked at your boyfriend’s ominous warning. As you weave through the crowd of people, Nanami seemingly knowing where to go, you recall yesterday’s conversation. 
After Nanami informed you about Ieiri’s birthday celebration, he mentioned, “It might not just be the sake bar. Since it’s Ieiri’s birthday, we may be out the whole night. Knowing Gojo, he’ll drag us all over Tokyo.”
Over the past three months of dating, Nanami would drop little hints about what he and Gojo would do whenever they hang out. He’s mentioned drunk karaoke before. Singing is definitely not one of Nanami’s hobbies, at least when he’s sober. Your man doesn’t sing in the shower, not even in the car. Personally, you love karaoke, so naturally, you’re curious and excited to see where the night will end up, especially with Gojo supposedly calling the shots. The thought of Nanami doing belting out ballads fills you with glee. 
At a table near the back, there is a pretty woman with long brown hair sitting next to a taller man with snow white hair. He wears dark, stylish sunglasses over his eyes, despite being indoors. They’re chatting, the man animated as the woman listens, pausing when the two of you approach them. “Nanamin! You made it!” Gojo stands up to pat Nanami’s shoulder, Ieiri greets you with a kind smile. 
“Hello, Gojo, Ieiri. This is my girlfriend.” Nanami introduces you as you shake their hands.
“So nice to meet you!”
“Glad to finally meet you too,” Gojo responds with a polite grin.
After formally greeting Ieiri, you hand the bag to her, “Happy birthday. I hope you like it. Kento told me you don’t like receiving gifts, but I figured this might be something we can enjoy together sometime.”
She eyes you curiously before reaching into the bag. When she pulls it out to reveal the liquor, she brightens. “Oh, I like you. I like her, Nanami. Thank you so much, I love it. We’ll definitely be drinking this sometime, maybe even tonight.”
“Tonight? Shoko, we just got here!” Gojo exclaims. “We don’t know what the night has in store for us yet.” As you all take your seats, he gives you a wink with that last statement. 
Ieiri recommends ordering the flights, which come with four different types of sake. She gets one for each person besides Gojo; she orders him a non-alcoholic Lychee beverage while he orders food for the table. As you wait for everything to arrive, you make small talk with each other. Nanami is quiet, which isn’t unusual, but you still want to check on him. Under the table, you reach your hand to his knee, giving him a squeeze. He wraps his fingers with yours, squeezing back, indicating that he’s fine.
The beverages arrive first. The four of you cheers to Ieiri’s birthday and drink. You are by no means an expert on sake, but this one is the smoothest you’ve ever tasted, going down like water. Ieiri finishes it fast, then grabs hold of the second, holding it up at the center of the table. “Ready for the second one?” she asks, raising her brow at you and Nanami.
“Shoko, aren’t you supposed to sip on it slowly?” Gojo hides a little naughty smile behind his Lychee mocktail. 
Suddenly, Nanami downs his sake and raises his other glass towards her. “Cheers, birthday girl.” She smiles and they both chug their second shot, easily. 
This is going to be an interesting night.
~~~
Satoru Gojo is no doubt a powerful Jujutsu Sorcerer. Arguably, the most powerful Jujutsu Sorcerer in the world. Nanami can confidently acknowledge that about his friend. 
However, Satoru Gojo possesses another power, unrelated to Jujutsu Sorcery. This power is constantly used on Nanami whenever the two go out together. For some reason, Gojo has this innate ability to get Nanami drunk.
Nanami still can’t explain it. Maybe it’s Gojo’s lively personality, or his friend’s dislike for alcohol that causes him to drink it all himself. The main reason is probably because it’s fun going out with Gojo. Nanami can let loose around him. There’s no judgement; he can let go of all his inhibitions for the night. He knows Gojo will not think differently of him the next morning, even if he does tease him a little bit. Even with Ieiri can Nanami put his guard down. He knows these two quite well and feels comfortable with them. 
Since dating his sweetheart, he hasn’t felt any desires to get drunk with her. Being around her is fun enough sober; the idea of getting intoxicated with her has never even crossed his mind. But when he’s with his friends, he enjoys drinking. He has fun with them, especially when he loosens up a bit. And to be honest, he loveskaraoke. He’ll deny it like no other when Gojo teases him, but he can honestly admit that it’s one of his favorite activities to do. And the only way to get him to do it is if he has a few shots in him. 
He wants to show his girlfriend this side of him. He knows that like Gojo, his sweetie will not judge. In fact, he thinks she’ll enjoy seeing him like this. He’s curious about her too. What is she like when she’s tipsy? Does she like karaoke as much as he does? Will they take care of each other if they’re both hungover the next day? What song can they do a duet to?
On his last shot, Nanami starts to feel his cheeks warm up. Their food hasn’t come out, so drinking on an empty stomach is hitting him harder than he expects. He glances at his girlfriend’s flight, noticing she’s only on her third. Smirking, he teases, “Can’t keep up?”
“I’m not used to drinking sake! But I’ll catch up, don’t worry!” 
Her determination is cute. She is cute. He’s tempted to scrunch her adorable cheeks together and kiss her forehead, but luckily, he remembers he’s in front of his friends. 
“Don’t feel pressured to keep up with them! Believe it or not, Shoko can outdrink Nanami, and that’s saying something,” Gojo explains, casually sipping his juice. 
Ieiri, who has since ordered her second flight, raises a glass with a proud smile and downs it. “One of my many skills.” 
Nanami orders another flight just as the food arrives to the table. Gojo ordered a plethora of sushi and appetizers that looks delicious. Making sure to get some substance in his belly before he continues to consume more alcohol, Nanami fills his plate with nigiri, gyozas, and karaage. He glances over at his sweetie, who begins to wobble slightly in her seat.
“Honey, are you okay?” he asks her quietly as Ieiri and Gojo talk amongst themselves.  
“Of course!” She stuffs a piece of nigiri in her mouth, smiling. “Why?”
“You’re swaying a bit.” He brushes his fingers against her cheek, which is hot to the touch.
“Oh, I get like this sometimes when I drink. Doesn’t happen much with wine, but I guess it does with sake.” She shrugs, returning to her plate of food, unfazed. 
Gojo stares at them, smirking, “Nanamin, it’s cute how concerned you are for your girlfriend. Reminds me of that one time.” 
Nanami groans, throwing back another shot. “Oh great, here we go.”
“What time?” his girlfriend asks, her curiosity and delight so obvious. 
“Do you know that the reason I don’t consume alcohol is because of this guy right here.” He points to Nanami, for emphasis. “Back in our early 20s, Nanami wanted to test out how much liquor he could handle, so he made me take shots with him until he got good and drunk. Mind you, this was the first time I’ve ever had alcohol. Unfortunately, my tolerance is very low, so after consuming as many shots as him, which was ten at this point, I was pretty much shit faced. I couldn’t even stand up straight! I think I was talking in tongues or something and little Nanamin here got so worried, he was calling everyone about what to do. Poor guy was in tears, thinking he killed me.”
“I almost did. I still feel guilty about it to this day,” Nanami interjects.
“He made me swear off alcohol after that. Lectured me about how bad it is for me, especially. I think seeing me puke my guts out traumatized him. But it turns out, he was right. I think it fucks up some of my techniques, so I just steer clear of it completely. Plus, I think it tastes icky.” Gojo laughs with a wave of his hand.
Nanami’s girlfriend has a big grin on her face. “I like that story! Got any embarrassing ones?”
“Oh, I’ve got plenty. Has he ever told you about the time I convinced him to go through a haunted house with me? Shoko was there too, she can attest to all of this!”
Nanami rolls his eyes, smiling. He continues to sip on his last glass of sake as they lean in close together to share stories and laughter. Maybe it’s the alcohol, but he feels a pleasant warmth in his chest. Seeing the people in his life gathered like this is something he’s secretly dreamed about for a while now, and it’s actually happening. Before he gets too sentimental, he finishes the rest of his liquor and reaches over to stuff his mouth with another piece of sushi. 
Ieiri ends up ordering a third flight, but only gets through two glasses. She gives the remaining sake to Nanami, who is now tipsy. Maybe even close to being drunk. All he knows for sure is that he feels giddy. He rests his head onto his girlfriend’s shoulder, sighing. She giggles as she caresses his knee. “You good, Kento?”
Gojo, who is checking out for them, smirks. “I think he’s a little tipsy.”
“You’re losing your touch, Nanami. I still don’t feel a thing,” Ieiri claims. 
“Hey, it’s not his fault that your stomach is an unending abyss for liquor,” Gojo teases. 
Nanami mutters, “Let’s call it a night. I’m ready to sleep.”
“Oi oi oi, don’t even think about going home yet. The night is still young and there’s a karaoke bar down the street that’s calling for us.”
“We’ve also got an entire bottle of Japanese whiskey to consume,” Ieiri adds, holding up the gift bag. “Can’t let this bad boy go to waste.”
Nanami responds, “You can’t possibly be implying that we finish that whole bottle tonight, right? Shoko, that’s impossible. No way.”
Ieiri and Gojo grin simultaneously, staring at Nanami. “Someone is drunk,” Ieiri snickers.
Gojo faces Nanami’s girlfriend, who has been laughing the past few minutes, explaining, “Whenever Kento is drunk, he starts calling us by our first names. It’s actually quite sweet.”
“Shut up, Satoru. Leave me alone,” he blurts out.
Shoko and Satoru cackle as they get up from the table. 
“So, karaoke then?”
~~~
It takes less than five minutes to walk to the karaoke bar. You hear the bass bumping from the outside as Nanami holds your hand, tie loosened and sleeves rolled up his forearms. As Gojo pays for a private room, Nanami leans in, whispering, “I love you, baby.” His mouth is warm against your ear, the sweet scent of alcohol lingering on his breath.
You giggle. “I love you too, Kento.”
“No, seriously. I love you. You’re literally an angel. My sweet angel.” He is just too cute right now. You laugh louder. “Kento, you’re drunk.”
“Maybe I’m a bit tipsy, but I promise I mean everything I’m saying. I love you so fucking much.” This man is going to be the death of you. You’re quite buzzed yourself, but you start feeling drunk off his affectionate words. You give him a quick peck on the cheek before Gojo leads you all into a private room. It’s dark inside, with only blue and purple mood lighting on the ceiling. Gojo stands by the karaoke machine, trying to get everything set up while the rest of you sit on the couch. Nanami slumps beside you and leans his head back. A waiter comes in with several glasses and a whole pitcher of water. Ieiri pours it into a glass and hands it to you, smiling. “We should stay hydrated if we’re going to be singing.”
You return her smile and give your thanks, taking a sip before passing it to Nanami. He shakes his head and declines. “No. No water. Need alcohol.”
Ieiri chuckles as you push the glass of water in front of his lips. “Just drink some water first.”
He pouts, crossing his arms over his chest. “No.”
“Don’t bother, Nanami is still stubborn even when he’s drunk,” Gojo comments.
You lean close to him, begging, “Please, baby? For me?” You slide your hand on his thigh.
With his arms still crossed, he opens his mouth as you tip the glass to his lips. You watch him take a couple of gulps before setting the drink on the table, satisfied with your tactic. Gojo chortles as he takes a seat beside Ieiri. “I stand corrected. Now, which song should we sing first?”
Nanami stands up, reaching for one of the microphones on the table. “Satoru. You know what song I want.”
“On it.” Gojo flips through the music catalog until he finds what he’s looking for, then enters a series of numbers on the remote. 
Ieiri relaxes into the couch, the same pleasant smile on her face. “Hope you’re ready for this.”
Interested and slightly nervous, you sit back with her to enjoy whatever show your boyfriend is about to perform for you. A familiar tune begins to play, and after a couple of beats, you recognize it as the song Rock Your Body thumping through the speakers. Nanami sways his hips side-to-side in tandem with the rhythm as he sings, “Don’t be so quick to walk away, dance with me! I wanna rock your body, please stay, dance with me!”
Gojo leans forward to look at you, yelling, “He always picks this as his first song! Always!” He also begins moving his body to the music while Ieiri nods her head to it. 
This might be one of the best things you’ve ever seen. Kento Nanami, your boyfriend, dancing and singing to a pop hit from the y2k era. No video could ever do this justice, so you just simple watch and enjoy with your own eyes. On the second chorus, he turns to you, a goofy expression on his face, tickling you under your chin, serenading, “I wanna rock your body, please stay, dance with me!” Gojo and Ieiri let out a loud whoop as you giggle, grabbing his hips while he continues to swing them in front of you. Gojo lets out a whistle as Ieiri cracks up. 
When the song ends, you all applaud as he takes a bow. Out of breath, he puts the mic down on the table and chugs the rest of the water in the glass before collapsing back into his seat. With the biggest grin, you exclaim, “That was so good, Kento! I’m so impressed!”
He gives you that same goofy grin as he slurs, “Was pretty good, huh? Should we take more shots?”
Before you even notice, Ieiri has lined up three glasses on the table and is pouring the Japanese whiskey. She delivers a shot to Nanami, who throws it back immediately. You and her cheers before drinking it. “Let’s do the next one,” she says, placing her hand on your back. “I know what song to do.”
You both belt out another pop hit from the 90s, singing and dancing while on the couch. Gojo chants along without a mic as Nanami bops to the music. Next, Gojo gives a dazzling performance of a classic 80s rock ballad, complete with all the theatrics, including an air guitar solo. After that, him and Nanami do a duet to an R&B song, which involves more hip swaying from Nanami directed at you. Gojo attempts a body roll towards Ieiri, who politely and firmly refuses before taking another shot. 
The room is buzzing with chaotic energy from sober Gojo and the rest of you drunkards. Ieiri’s composure begins to waver as she stands up to belt out Girls Just Wanna Have Fun with Gojo, who twirls her around the room until she promptly tells him to stop. “I’m going to yak if you keep spinning me, Satoru!”
They perform another song together, with Gojo hogging the mic as Ieiri tries to grab it from him, shrieking the lyrics loudly. “Shoko, there are other mics on the table! Stop trying to take mine!” he yells. She giggles, finally taking another mic to continue singing.
You and Nanami cuddle in the corner, unable to keep yourselves off each other, especially after seeing him sway his hips so many times tonight. As the other two sing, you and your boyfriend share sloppy kisses while hands roam over each other’s bodies. As you begin to unbutton his dress shirt from the top, you start kissing his neck, to which he lets out a loud moan. 
Finally being noticed by Gojo, he yells into the mic, “Hey, stop it you too! Gross!”
Ieiri lets out a shriek, also shouting into the mic, “Stop groping each other and sing another song with me!” she demands, beckoning you. 
Stumbling a bit, you get up to stand next to her, but Nanami’s grip is on your wrist, holding you in place. “No, don’t leave. Let’s kiss s’more.”
“Kento, I want to sing another song with my new best friend!” Ieiri whines. Gojo chimes in, “Me too! I want to duet with my new bestie!”
Your boyfriend grunts, eventually loosening his hold. With a big smile on your face, you walk towards your new friends and search through the catalog together, deciding on I Wanna Dance with Somebody. Nanami lets out a loud huff right before the music starts. They giggle behind their hands. “He’s so jealous. He wants to keep you all to himself.” 
The three of you prance around the room, singing, “Oh, I wanna dance with somebody! I wanna feel the heatwith somebody!” 
Nanami scowls in the corner with his foot tapping to the beat. You break out of whatever line dance you’re doing to approach him, bopping your head, trying to coax a smile out of him. His expression is glum, but you see his lips twitch slightly. You take his arm, trying to convince him to join you, which he refuses at first. Not being able to resist much longer, he starts swaying with you as you lead him to the dance party a few feet away. Gojo and Ieiri rejoice as all four of you start shouting the last lines of the song. With everyone panting like they just ran a marathon, you all mutually decide to do one final round to end the night. Gojo, who seems perky as ever, chooses another pop hit. 
“Shoko, record me.” She retrieves her phone as Gojo points to the camera. “Utahime, this is for you, babe!” As he continues to serenade the camera, not even needing to look at the lyrics on screen, you hear Ieiri chuckle under her breath. “She’s going to hate this.”
You and Nanami sit together, fingers interlocked. He nuzzles his face into your neck as he asks, “What song should we sing, honey?” He hasn’t had any more shots since the first one, so his speech isn’t as slurred.
“I don’t know, what did you have in mind?”
“I like that one song. The one you’re always singing to in the shower,” he hums. 
“Ha, so you noticed how obsessed I am with that song right now?”
“It’s cute. I like hearing you sing it.” He rubs his nose into your neck.
Butterflies flutter in your belly. Even after dating for a few months now, you still get flustered by Nanami’s sweet words. “Okay, let’s do it.”
When they finish, you already have the code for the song entered. A smooth ballad starts playing as you and Nanami stand up, ready to duet together. Ieiri squeals, “I love this song!”
Nanami performs the first part with enthusiasm, causing Gojo to heckle, “This is too slow and serious!”
“Shut up, Satoru,” Nanami scolds before he continues.
You explain, “He wanted to this one because he likes hearing me sing it in the shower!”
Gojo smirks, holding his hands up in surrender. “Got it. I’ll say no more.” Then, he whispers something in Ieiri’s ear. Whatever he mentions makes the other woman smile, glancing at you with a knowing look. 
After Nanami finishes the chorus, it’s your turn. From the corner of your eye, you see Nanami gaze at you lovingly as you sing, moving along to the music. You turn towards him beaming as you sing the chorus together, in sync. When it’s done, you receive a standing ovation from the audience. Nanami pulls you in by the waist and kisses you on the lips, resulting in even louder applause.
“Okay lovebirds, you can go home now. I’ve kept you hostage long enough,” Gojo laughs. He points his thumb over to Ieiri. “This one probably wants to go out to another bar and drink more.”
She shrugs nonchalantly. “It’s my birthday and you’re treating. I’m taking full advantage of this.”
As you all exit the karaoke bar, Gojo approaches Nanami, patting him on the back. As the two men converse, you ask Ieiri in a hushed voice, “What did Gojo whisper to you earlier when we were singing?”
She smiles softly, replying, “Oh, that. He said that Nanami is whipped.” 
“Hey, Nanami is the one who suggested that song, not me!”
Before you can protest any further, she says, “He also said that he’s happy for him.”
That catches you off guard. You pause, not knowing how to react. She laughs. “Kento is rather smitten by you, and I can see why. You two are great together.”
Flustered once again, you respond quietly, “That’s really nice. Thank you.”
“Thank you for coming out for my birthday. It’s always fun making a new friend.” She glances at Gojo and adds, “Expect a lot more invitations from this guy.”
You give her a big smile. “I can’t wait.”

Gojo wraps an arm around Nanami’s shoulders as they walk behind the other two, making their way out of the karaoke bar. “Thanks for coming out tonight, buddy. This was so much fun.”
“Thanks for the invite. It was a lot of fun,” Nanami admits, sober now.
“I really like her. Your girlfriend. She’s really nice and fun. Total opposite of you,” Gojo jokes. Nanami tries to shrug his friend’s arm off his shoulders to no avail. 
He continues. “In all seriousness, I’m really happy for you. You seem to be in a much better mood these days. I told you all you needed was to get laid!”
This time, Nanami successfully shoves him off as his friend laughs. Before he walks faster to be next to his girlfriend, Gojo utters, “You really deserve this, Kento. You deserve to be happy.”
He pauses to face him, looking at him with a small smile. His mind goes back to the conversation they had a week before he met the woman of his dreams. Nanami had voiced his concerns to Gojo about dating as a Jujutsu Sorcerer. He made up all these rules in his head, forbidding himself to date in order to protect his heart. Of all the people, it was Gojo who was the voice of reason. It was his best friend who convinced him to go for it. And it ended up being the best decision of his life. 
Nanami reaches his hand towards Gojo’s shoulder and gives it a firm clasp. His friend’s eyes widen, even hidden behind the stylish sunglasses. “Thank you, Satoru.” He doesn’t elaborate further. He knows that Gojo understands. 
Gojo’s lip quivers, either from amusement or sentimentality. Either way, he returns to his signature smirk almost instantly. “Let’s hang out again soon, okay?”
They say their goodbyes, Gojo and Ieiri turning to walk to another bar as Nanami and his girl head to the train station. On the ride back, she rests her head against him with her eyes closed. They stay like this in silence, listening only to the sound of the train gliding through the tracks. He entwines his fingers with hers, giving her a little squeeze. As much fun as the night was, these are the little moments that bring him to a state of pure bliss. He’s happy. Truly, utterly, irrevocably happy.
And he deserves it.

okay this follower event is intriguing so I’mma try something👀 okay so. I’m thinkin about an Apocalypse AU with Fox. romance for the genre because you know it gotta be romance with Foxy, & girl you can go WILD with the plot, I give you free reign. unless you don’t want free reign, I can just send another ask. but for now BE FREE🦅
Woe To The People
Summary: According to everything you read as a child, the end of the world was supposed to be the end of the story. It’s a shame that none of the stories tell what happens to the people left behind.
Pairing: Commander Fox x F!Reader
Word Count: 2230
Prompt: Apocalypse AU
Warnings: None
Tagging: @trixie2023 @n0vqni @imabeautifulbutterfly
A/N: You said be free, and so I was free. You know how in some farming sims, the end of the world happened, and then people have to recover. That's what this is. I could have gone with apocalypse heavy, but I wanted to do apocalypse light. Please let me know if you don't like it. The title came from a CamiCat song called Woe To The People Of The Order. Also, I'm limited on how long I can sit at the computer right now. I...hurt my foot pretty badly and I can't elevate it properly from the computer, lol.
Tumblr media
You were a child when the world ended.
You were barely 9 summers old on the day that the blue sky burned red, and acid fell from the sky. You managed to find shelter in a skyscraper, climbing higher and higher up the building as the acid water flooded the rivers and the streets.
And you refused to leave, even when the other people you were seeking shelter with did.
It took almost a week for the flood waters to recede. A week where you survived off of snacks and soda from the vending machines. A week where you didn’t have anyone to talk to, where all you could do is watch the burning sky through darkened windows and watch the flood waters slowly recede.
There was no internet, no TV, and your only source of information came from a small battery powered radio you found in the janitor’s closet. And it was from there that you learned what was going on.
You learned about the natural disasters that ravaged the world. Massive wildfires that raged for days, floods powerful enough to wash away buildings, sinkholes opening in places where it shouldn’t be possible, earthquakes destroying entire cities, storm systems creating tornadoes in countries that have never had one before.
And when the flood waters receded enough for you to leave the building, you ran home. Though you already knew what you were going to find when you arrived. Your home destroyed, completely flooded out, and your family, like every other family in your neighborhood, lay dead.
Burned almost beyond recognition.
At barely 9 years old, this should have been the end of your story. You were not big enough to fend for yourself, haven’t learned enough about the way the world works to even consider it.
But you’ve always been lucky.
Several days later, after returning to the sky scraper because where else could you go, a survivor found you.
A firefighter, to be specific.
His name was Jango Fett, and he told you about the safe haven that his family set up, where they have food, clean water, and doctors. He praised you for surviving as long as you did on your own, calling you clever and resourceful as he scooped you into his strong arms and carried you down the stairs and to the massive fire engine that somehow survived the floods.
He passed you up to another man, who settled you on top of the engine and offered you a proper sandwich while he covered you with a reflective blanket, and murmured assurances that you’re going to be fine, that everything’s going to be okay.
There were fewer survivors than you expected, as men and women trek out of the nearby buildings in groups of two or three.
And then you heard Jango call out that that’s everyone, and the truck started to move, slowly pushing through the debris covering the roads. Miles, the firefighter looking after you, adjusted the blanket so you couldn’t see the bodies strewn across the road.
Jango brought the survivors to the Mereel Compound, a massive group of buildings set up on top of, and around, a dam. The reservoir was empty, and Miles explained that the reservoir had been emptied before the flood, so you had nothing to worry about.
After that, you were sent to a creche, a place for young children to receive the care and education they needed to be productive members of society. Of course, the education was a bit different than what you were used to. But at the same time, you realized that you probably didn’t need to know what a noun was in this new reality of yours.
So you settled yourself in to learn what you needed to survive in this new world.
Tumblr media
It’s been over a decade since the day the world ended, and very little has changed. Oh, sure, there haven’t been any other massive storms since the original ones, but it’s still a struggle to survive.
Enough of a struggle, that you had to move out of the Mereel Compound. You ended up in a building that used to be a mall. And, with help from other young people, you managed to turn it into something like an apartment complex.
Your job in the complex is to ensure that the water wheel, which provides electricity to the homes here, remains in working order.
It’s not a hard job, but it is a very physical job.
In fact, that’s what you’re currently working on. With a thick pair of gloves to protect you from the acid that lingers in the water. The filters do a good job in making sure that most of the acid doesn’t make it this far, but they’re not perfect.
The water needs to go through a seven point treatment before it can be ingested safely. Luckily, over the last decade, the survivors did manage to perfect that technology.
You look up as the door to the water room clicks open, “How’s are the water wheels?” A voice asks from the door. It’s a voice you’re intimately familiar with, seeing as it belongs to your boyfriend.
“In perfect working order,” You reply as you straighten, and stretch your arms over your head to work the knots out of your back, “I’m probably going to have to take water wheel 3 out of commission for a couple of hours to replace a part, but I want to have all of the parts on hand before I start.”
You turn to face Commander Fox properly.
Commander Fox is one of Jango’s many children, and is the man responsible for this complex. He’s a fine leader, you think, quick thinking and decisive. Not to mention protective of the people under his care.
He’s also the love of your life, so you might be biased.
“It’s not like you to check on the water wheels personally,” You note lightly as you pull your gloves off and set them in the solution that keeps the acid from eating through them, “Something wrong?”
“Thorn is ill, so I took his route.”
“That’s unfortunate,” You murmur, “Nothing serious, I hope?”
“Just a stomach bug, but better to isolate him rather than risk everyone else getting sick.” Fox allows, he moves to the side as you step out of the room, before he follows you and waits for you to lock the door behind you, “You haven’t seen anything unusual lately, have you?”
“In what way?”
He folds his arms over his broad chest, “I got a message from Wolffe-”
“From the forest compound?” You ask, after thinking a moment.
“Yeah, apparently there have been raids on the compound, and I’m...concerned.”
“Raids? All of the Compounds from the desert to the mountains belong to the Mereel/Fett clan.”
“Hence my concern.” Fox rolls his shoulders and for a moment you see just how exhausted he is, “Cody’s putting together a group to investigate, but if there are raiders out there-” He exhales sharply through his teeth.
He doesn’t need to put word to his worry.
You’re hardly stupid, your expertise with water and the filtration system makes you valuable. And a target for anyone with malignant motives.
“I’m giving you a guard detail.” Fox says, “And restricting your movements to within the compound.” He drops his hand from the back of his neck, “Your apartment is on a wall, isn’t it?”
“It is.”
He sighs heavily, and you feel guilty for a moment. But then, you didn’t ask for a wall apartment, you were assigned it. “It’s fine, you can crash in my room.”
“That’s hardly proper, Commander.” You tease lightly.
“Your safety is more important to me than propriety.” Fox counters, completely serious, “The alternative is sending you back to the Mereel Compound.”
“Please don’t.”
He chuckles, “That’s what I thought.” He motions for you to follow him, and you easily fall into step next to him, and he glances at you out of the corner of his eye, “Besides, it’s not like you’ve never crashed in my apartment before. Or even in my bed.”
You elbow him, “This situation is a bit different, Fox. There isn’t a small difference between me sleeping with you because your my boyfriend, and me sleeping in your apartment because I need a protective detail.”
He leads you through the bustling halls, and you feel a soft surge of delight when you see that the market is bustling with activity. Only a few years ago, this scene would have been impossible.
How far you’ve all come since the world ended.
Fox’s hand on your elbow encourages you to keep moving, as he guides you through the winding streets, until he unlocks the door to his apartment.
Fox’s apartment is bigger than all of the other apartments in the compound, with good reason, as a whole quarter of the room is filled with the computers that connect him with his brothers, and father. Not to mention the dozens of outposts that dot the country.
He shuts the door on the working half of his apartment and leads you to the living half of his apartment.
And you immediately head to the window, peering out at the red sky and over the wall that separated the compound from the wildlife. You hear some movement behind you and you turn to watch Fox remove his armor.
It’s leather mostly, reminding you of the old westerns your dad used to watch when he was still alive. Still, it offers a fair amount of protection against anyone who might want to hurt him, so you’re happy he has it.
He focuses his gaze on you, and a smile, soft and warm, graces his tired face. “Do you have any idea how stunning you look when you’re framed by the sky?”
Your face heats, and you turn away from him, “You’ve mentioned it once or twice.”
He laughs softly and walks over to you, his arms sliding around your waist, “Then I clearly need to tell you more often.”
You face him again, your hands settling lightly against his chest and smoothing the thin shirt he wears under his uniform, “I know you think it, Foxy.” You tease, “I know you, after all.”
Slowly he leans in and presses his forehead against yours, his gaze locked with your own. “You know, you could just move in with me. That would make everything easier.”
“We’ve had this conversation-”
“And you never think I’m serious, but I am. I want you to move in with me.”
“Ask me again after this crisis.” You counter.
Fox sighs and lifts his hands to cup your face, “We’re not guaranteed tomorrow, angel. Especially with the way the world is. We need to take what happiness we can when we can.”
“And what if you change your mind-” You start.
“Never. I will never change my mind. I love you. I’ve loved you since we were kids in the creche and you were that bossy little girl who told me that I was wearing my jacket wrong. I loved you when we were teenagers and you had your heart broken by my brother and I was your shoulder to cry on. I’m not going to stop loving you. Ever.”
You’re quiet for a moment, and then you huff, “I was not a bossy little girl.”
“You were so bossy. It was adorable. It’s why I went along with it.”
You pout at him, and he grins at you, looking young and boyish in his delighted amusement, “Fine. I’ll move in with you, but only because you’re being pathetic about it.”
“I can live with that.” He agrees, before ducking his head just enough to catch your lips with his.
You lean into the kiss, intent to deepening it, to fan the flames of passion, when there’s a loud chime from the other room, and he breaks the kiss with a sigh. He tilts his head to the bed, and murmurs an instruction to get comfortable, before he releases you.
A giggle falls from your lips as you sit on his bed to wait for him. You watch him walk into the next room and you watch, through the open doors, as he reads something on the computer.
And you watch as tension lances through his body.
“Fox? What’s wrong?”
“Cody found the raiders,” Fox replies from his work room, you get to your feet and walk over to him, “Apparently they’re not raiders. They were informed that you, and several other people who are in charge of food, water, and power were being held against your will.”
“Who are they?” You ask, offended that anyone would think something so poorly of the men who saved you.
“They call themselves Jedi. They’re demanding to meet you and the others.” Fox scowls, “Cody doesn’t think we should do it, he says it stinks like a trap. Dad says that we should, but we should meet in a neutral place. He says that survivors need to stick together.”
“And...what do you think?”
“I think I want you to stay safe, but if this is the best option…” He trails off and then turns and pulls you into a kiss.
You sigh into the kiss, melting under his skilled touch.
“I promise,” He breathes against your lips, “No one will ever hurt you.”

Okay this might mean nothing but…get your red string ready cause this is my Doctor Who S14/S1 theory masterpost
*Disclaimer in case of inaccuracies, I started writing this before Dot and Bubble was released and then I got busy and more things happened and now it's release day for The Legend of Ruby Sunday (which won’t be available to watch in my country until this evening) and I didn’t want it to go to waste so I finished it lol okay thanks* 
I’ve been thinking a lot about @waywardwes9 ’s theory regarding Ruby Sunday and other character names in this series of Doctor Who. So we’ve had Ruby SUNDAY, MUNDI (Monday) Flynn in episode three, and MARTI (Mardi/Martes/Tuesday/etc) Bridges in episode four, with dialogue bringing attention to the uniqueness/significance of each of their names. So when the casting list was released for episode five, ‘Dot and Bubble’, I couldn’t help but notice…Cooper Mercy, a slightly adjusted form of the words Mercury, or Mercredi (fr)/Miércoles (sp)/Mercoledì (it)/dydd Mercher (welsh)/etc. all of which means Wednesday!! So up until episode six, ‘Rogue’, this theory appeared to be holding up. It then became difficult to speculate further as we had little to no character backgrounds for these individuals and the cast lists for the remaining episodes are still incomplete but twice is a coincidence, four times is a pattern. 
Tumblr media
Now we know that in the ancient Greco-Roman tradition, the days of the week were named after the sun, moon and planets which were in turn named after certain gods:
Monday - Moon - Selene/Luna
Tuesday - Mars - Ares/Mars
Wednesday - Mercury - Hermes/Mercurius
Thursday - Jupiter - Zeus/Jove
Friday - Venus - Aphrodite/Venus
Saturday - Saturn - Cronus/Saturnus
Sunday - Sun - Helios/Sol
Because of her surname, Ruby Sunday would be aligned with the Roman God ‘Sol Invictus’, who was considered the most supreme or important god for several decades of the mid to late Roman empire. So I decided to do a little research into this deity and found out that his feast day and the main festival dedicated to him, ‘Dies Natalis Solis Invicti’, occurred every year on December 25th… The day on which at the stroke of midnight, baby Ruby was discovered in a snowy churchyard, after being abandoned by her mysterious mother. This could just be a coincidence but it’s interesting nonetheless as it adds to the themes and theories regarding the “Pantheon of Discord” which includes godlike figures such as The Toymaker and Maestro. Could this suggest that Ruby is secretly a member of the Pantheon of gods? Or maybe she was created to be a pawn, a messiah-like figure, in their masterplan? Or maybe she’s a part of an antithetical pantheon of ‘good’ gods?
So returning to the characters named after weekdays, we may have expected a character with some variation of Thursday/Jeudi/Giovedì/dydd Iau/etc. as their name to appear in Rogue but unfortunately, there appeared to be nothing at all that would correlate to this theory… until people began to notice that the ring which Rogue uses to propose to The Doctor is emblazoned with The Caduceus, the staff of Hermes… also known as Mercurius or Mercury. 
Tumblr media
It seems that our story has become stuck on Wednesday instead of continuing with the remaining weekdays, but why? Why could Wednesday or Mercury be significant?  Well gang, guess what the god Mercury is known as…
Tumblr media
THIS IS HOW THE TRICKSTER TRUTHERS CAN STILL WIN !! Additionally, Rogue’s name originates from the DnD archetype, ‘Rogue’, who is regarded as ‘the trickster’. Very Inch Arresting. but we’ll return to the Trickster as ‘The One Who Waits’ theories a little later on.
The theory regarding The Caduceus can also play into the theory about Rogue possibly being an incarnation of The Master, or signalling the return of The Master. The Caduceus symbol, which can represent travel, thievery and mischief (which aligns with characteristics of The Rogue, The Trickster and The Master) is commonly mistaken or used in place of The Rod of Asclepius, which is used by healthcare organisations as it represents healing, care and the duties of doctors (which obviously aligns with The Doctor). 
Tumblr media
These antithetical yet similar symbols could easily represent the Doctor and The Master and their shared past and turbulent relationship, or alternatively could represent the theme that things that appear too good to be true usually are, but who knows.
Now if you’ve made it this far, stay with me for this part because we’re about to get even more delulu, but I promise we’ll come back around into more plausible theory territory very soon. 
So with all this attention being drawn to character names, I decided to do some further research into the names of the characters named after days of the week and found something interesting. In the case of Mundi Flynn, we can presume Mundi is intended to mean Monday but Flynn actually means…Red or ruddy/reddish, which would make her name Monday Red… or Red Monday… just like Ruby Sunday. This got me extremely excited…until…I couldn’t find any connections to the colour red within Marti’s surname ‘Bridges’. However… Marti is named after Mars, which is known as… The Red Planet! Which would still make her first name Red Tuesday, or even Ruby Tuesday just like the famous song by the Rolling Stones. Now That is a stretch but we persist nonetheless by going even deeper into delusional valley with Dot and Bubble’s character: Cooper Mercy, Cooper…an uncommon name that is very close to the word ‘Copper’.. another shade of red, making her Wednesday Red/Ruby Wednesday. Also worthy to note that the character Cooper had red hair, which was a purposeful choice as it is not the actor’s natural hair colour. Okay, last one… while there doesn’t appear to be any weekday names mentioned in Rogue, (as we seem to be stuck on Wednesday) I couldn’t help but notice that ‘Rogue’ is an anagram of Rouge… the french word for red. Listen, either this all actually connects or RTD has quite literally been sprinkling RED herrings throughout the narrative. So what could this mean? Personally, this kind of repetitive naming convention reminds me of a dream-like logic or storytelling convention centred around Ruby,  which could play into everyone’s TV show/fairytale/dream theories (which are too expansive to get into and I don’t have much to add).
Tumblr media
*I’ve heard that the Identity of Susan Twist has been revealed in today’s episode but thankfully I haven’t seen any spoilers yet so just ignore this if it’s completely off the wall lol*
However, this could also link to the idea of Susan Twist as a show director or writer, making cameos throughout her own work. In this light, she could be considered The Storyteller… TS… but if you physically twist the initials around…ST… Susan Twist.  
Then, there is of course the theory that Susan Twist is a physical manifestation of the Tardis. Particularly because in The Legend of Ruby Sunday she has been listed as Susan Triad, S.Triad, an anagram of Tardis. Could it be that the tardis is broken down or malfunctioning and is creating these scenarios to keep itself, the Doctor and Ruby entertained? I guess I’ll find out tonight hehe.
Okay getting back to The Trickster theory. By now most people have probably seen other posts that show that Ruby’s musical theme is almost identical to The Trickster’s theme from SJA, that the Doctor invoking a superstition at the edge of the universe could have brought back the Trickster,  that RTD could be using Ruby as a replacement for Sky from SJA, the baby that Sarah Jane discovered abandoned on her doorstep and adopted, who was originally supposed to be revealed as a child of the Trickster and a trap for Sarah Jane, and as well ofc that the hooded figure that drops baby Ruby off obviously resembles The Trickster. 
Tumblr media
But another thing I can’t stop thinking about is the theme of the fragility of memory and existence that has been popping up throughout this series, particularly in the first few episodes, and how this correlates to the powers of The Trickster. In Space Babies, we see how the doctor’s memories of the night of Ruby’s birth are manipulated in real time to show him something totally different. In 73 Yards, we see how the Doctor is zapped out of existence, and then brought back through a future-past paradox. In several episodes we see the blurring of reality, the past and fiction with events such as the snow from Ruby Road appearing in places where present day Ruby is. We see on two occasions how history is changed by the simplest of actions such as stepping on a butterfly or a fairy circle. And of course in 73 Yards we hear Kate’s cryptic “This timeline is suspended along your event” line. All of these elements appear to correspond with the Trickster’s powers of time and memory manipulation as demonstrated in SJA, to the point that I’m actually gonna be disappointed if all this build up doesn’t result in an appearance from everyone’s fav SJA villain lol. 
Another thing to consider is The Doctor’s continuous references to the sea constantly getting closer to the land such as the “Everywhere is a beach eventually.” line from episode three and the “The war between the land and the sea” comment in episode four, the latter of which could of course just be a nod to the forthcoming dw spin-off series of the same name… or… could in fact be a reference to ‘the one who waits’. The last time the Trickster was defeated he was locked up in a box and thrown into the ocean, where he could be waiting patiently to return to the shore, to claim what he wants. Could this also be linked to Mrs FLOOD, whose water-related name may suggest that she is the one who waits for the oncoming flood. Who knows ! I’m just throwing things at the red string board and hoping something sticks. 
Okay that’s all for my crazy wacky wild bananas bonkers theories today. Can’t wait to see how many of these are disproven in approximately one hour lmaoooo. If you made it this far, I commend ur patience <3

Brain Overflow
You know how in my last 'state of the author' post I said I could feel the urge to write coming back?
Oh, it has.
It's terribly inconvenient too. I'm going to tell you a little about some of the things I've been thinking of and then whine/wibble a tiny bit if you click through to behind the cut. (You don't have to read the last bit!)
I've written down three different SVSSS (LiuShen) ideas in the last couple of weeks, added a few thoughts to older ideas, made a mental note of possible Cultivate extras, and just refused to write down others so as not to encourage rampant plot bunny breeding.
But let me tell you about a few of them because I'm hoping it reduces the urge to work on them better than just typing up notes.
The Lady Blackbird fusion Not sure what Lady Blackbird is? Well, it's a free tabletop rpg that you can download here. But the TL;DR is, "Sort of like steampunk Star Wars: A New Hope + Firefly + potential Jane Austen novel, if you want." I'll just C&P the pitch here: Lady Blackbird is an Imperial noble fleeing from an arranged marriage to be with her secret lover, the pirate king Uriah Flint. To reunite with him, she has hired a notorious smuggler and the crew of his skyship, The Owl. However, The Owl has been captured by an Imperial cruiser. How will Lady Blackbird and the others escape? What dangers lie in their path on the way to the pirate king’s lair? Can you see where this is going? (Actually, probably not your first thought, no.) We start with Shen Yuan transmigrated in a xianxia-by-way-of-steampunk gown, sitting in a jail cell with several men, a teenage boy, and a veiled teenage girl. System helpfully informs him that he is now "Lady" Blackbird, on the run to end up in the arms of Pirate King Mobei-Jun. His cell-mates are, as follows: Smuggler Captain Liu Qingge, Lady Blackbird's personal bodyguard Liu Mingyan who suggested her brother when LB said she wanted to escape, the ship's mechanic Shang Qinghua, the ship's doctor Mu Qingfang (or they pick him up later, I haven't decided), and "a goblin named BingBing". While SY is busy freaking out that System can't fool him - that's the Protagonist, Luo Binghe!!! wtf!!! System says "later, loser" and more-or-less abandons him (though still employing an OOC ban). So now you can probably see where this is going, lol. It involves at least a brief period where SY has to crossdress and pretend to be one of Binghe's future wives - a fiancée/wife of Mobei-Jun as Liu Qingge gets very conflicted feelings about his troublesome passenger. Featuring lots of Cumplane friendship, sassy MQF (as a treat), teenage smirking (likely aided and abetted by the adults), and space whales (naturally). I have not yet fully decided if the story Shen Yuan read was PIDW and now he has to figure out how the infiltration of "space with gears on it" into his xianxia has fucked up what he and Airplane know, or if the story was something like "Proud Immortal Starlit Way" and it was always like that. (Thoughts?) ---
The "SY Bodysnatches MQF" idea What it says on the tin... SY accidentally ends up in MQF's body instead of SQQ's. Only MQF isn't gone - he remains. This occurs directly before the Demonic Invasion and double qi deviation part of the plot and they rush back to the sect to deal with that. Then things get messy while they conspire to get SY his own body. Featuring: An extremely confused Liu Qingge, eventual Shenbros, and aro-ace MQF being very bemused at all times. ---
The "LQG Gets De-Aged/Age-Regressed" idea As you can guess: LQG gets age-regressed. This happens in Lingxi Caves instead of his death-by-deviation. He latches onto SY-SQQ and SY-SQQ is helpless to do anything but take the cute kid in. Featuring: BingLiu friendship, possibly Bing-other disciples friendship, but mostly establishing bro-code that makes Binghe switch his infatuation with SY-SQQ into family feelings as soon as LQG regains his adult body and it becomes clear that LiuShen is happening. ----
This is along with: Joint Custody (LiuShen), my SJ-SQQ second-chance redemption fic (LiuShen and LiuJiu, but different LQGs), a peak lords ascension fic using Cultivate's backstory (LiuJiu), a LiuShen timeloop fic, and at least another half a dozen fic ideas sitting in the hopper that aren't nearly as developed/that I am not burning to write yet.
I'd love to know which ideas you guys are most interested in. ;) Joint Custody is still next regardless and I'll probably not be working on either of the LiuJiu fics in the near future because they are definitely 100k+ territory and I'm still not ready for that. But knowing people are hype for something keeps me hype. ;3
I'll probably be in this fandom awhile, y'all. Please send help.
Sadly, I can't work on any of them yet, because I have over 2,600 messages in my inbox waiting for me to respond to. (This is not a humble brag - this is thousand-yard-stare territory. It was somewhere over 3000 for awhile until I started making a list of people who generally only left emojis or thanks and let them know that I was going to just thank them for all of them in one email so they didn't peppered by replies in kind.)
Not that I'm complaining about them, because I missed replying to comments so much (it's genuinely one of my favorite parts about writing fanfic), but it's still a lot and even if I could manage 100 replies a day (which for mental health reasons, I really can't), it's going to take awhile.
RIP.
More importantly - I hope you are well! 🌼

bestie can i know more about this coin guy of yours. your posting has intrigued me
Tumblr media
^ THIS GUY !!
my coin thing tag has a lot about him and his friends (mostly art, I leave most of my textposts untagged lol) But Coins an OC I've had since around the beginning of the year who took over my brain bc Im a fan of guys with long hair and issues lmao. More about him under the cut bc this was a lot longer than I had expected
He a traveling huntsman (not a fancy term, hes just really good at hunting animals) who lost an arm in a "hunting accident" he would not talk about if someone tried to waterboard it out of him. (had a nasty argument with his former hunting partners, fucked off, got his arm cut off. never told anyone what happened)
To most he comes across hes a tired guy who seems at least somewhat disconnected from the world around him whos looking for jobs to get the money he needs to keep himself alive and not much else. That is until he saves a rich girl named Charlotte from some sort of monster thing (I havent figured out what it is yet), and she offers him a job as a guard as she travels to a southern country. He agrees due to the pay being good, despite the fact hes been isolating himself from people for years bc of severe depression 'people are annoying'. Along the way the two pick up some other weirdos, mostly bc Charlottes really friendly and likes to pick up new friends, much to Coins annoyance.
Things then Happen, Occur even, but I am saving those for later. BUT!! some other, non. idk. spoilery fun facts about him are;
He grew up in a small countryside village where he learned to hunt and swordfight
His father left when he was really little and he sees no reason to care about him. His mother owns and works in the towns butcher shop and taught him to hunt. He's also got an older brother and younger sister
His younger sister is a recently turned werewolf who got drafted into a secret vampire turf war bc the vampires, for some reason, thought she was a vampire. There is one (1) vampire who knows shes a werewolf who she has insane toxic yuri with. He knows about literally none of this
He was extremely proficient with a bow before losing his arm, and also fought with dual swords. He really misses doing both of these
He was left handed. Lost his left arm
He has chronic insomnia and after being knocked out with sleeping powder by Charlottes pirate bestie (long story), he started snorting it to get to sleep bc straight up cant otherwise. They later meet and begin traveling with a doctor who almost kills him over this
He's not a magic user but seems completely immune to side effects caused by spells that happen to non-mages as a result of their bodies not being used to magic. Odd!
Theres a pink haired guy who he keeps running into at bars and inns who is ridiculously in love with him. Coin hates him and wants nothing to with him
Coins name means something relating to hunting in his native language, and he chose his name without knowing it was a term for currency in the second language he learns to speak later. He decided to stick with it
IRL his name came from me going "damn. I have no idea what to name this guy." and a friend of mine going "COIN" immediately after. I said I could not possibly name him that and then did
Coin and Charlotte are literally the only two people/things I have named for this thing despite having it for months bc I am really bad at naming things
He gets a gun at some point

I.O.U
(Be There For You Follow Up)
Tumblr media
A/N: Same universe as BTFY, different characters, same medicine. You don't need to read BTFY to understand this story tho they're kinda their own thing
Pairing: Qian Kun X Reader
Genre: Be There For You AU, Smut, Doctor Kun, Good Ending, (as always, i know nothing about medicine lol)
Warnings: Mind Break, kun is kinda mean
Word Count: 2.3k
“I mean, every college kid does a clinical trial to make a quick buck at least once, right? That’s just like, part of the freshman experience!” You were on the phone with your friend as you stood outside the clinic, ready to get tied up to an IV for 10 hours or have your sleep monitored. 
“Whatever. Don’t let them do anything stupid to you, alright?” Your friend replied, dryly.
“They’re doctors! They wouldn’t intentionally hurt me, right? Anyways, I’m gonna go in!” Way too optimistic, considering you were willing to go through Hell for $1000.
You walked in and went to the front desk.
“Hi, can I help you?” The worker, wearing a name tag that said “Jeno” asked you. He seemed… like your average nerd. Chunky, black rimmed glasses in a rectangle shape.
“I’m actually wondering if you have any studies that I could participate in.” You smiled up at him, biting your lip, as to avoid asking him if his bright pink hair was up to code.
“Hm…” He grabbed a paper. “How about you fill this out to let us get a better grasp of who you are, then I’ll have a doctor chat with you, alright?” He quickly smiled up at you, but his eyes were cold, probably wishing you’d leave him alone already.
You nodded. “Thanks!”
After about 30 minutes and 100 questions later, you were called into an exam room, and you sat on the bed in there.
A young man with wire rimmed glasses and light blue hair entered and applied hand sanitizer. “So, my name is Kun Qian. So I’ve checked your questionnaire and your medical history, and I’ve compiled a list of things you are able to participate in.”
He handed you a stack of papers, and on top, there it was.
Project E 2.0
This medication is being tested to treat PCOS and other hormone irregularities.
Side effects include a heightened libido, sensitivity during sex, as well as more intense and stronger orgasms.
You glanced up at Kun, who was clicking his pen. “I’ll just do this one, it seems simple enough.”
Kun sighed, rolling his neck back to crack his neck. “The E one? It’s important for you to know that the side effects of this medication are… strong, to say the least.”
“What, am I going to go feral? It’s fine, just give me the jab.” You laughed, but Kun didn’t respond.
“Yes. The woman who received the 1.0 version was unable to sleep, eat… she couldn’t live a normal life for several weeks because of it. All she was able to do was have sex and be force-fed by her doctor… Well, boyfriend now, I guess.” He pulled off his glasses and looked you in the eye. “I promise, I will be right here, ready to assist you, or anything you may need, but I need to know that you can deal with the pain.”
“Well, when you put it like that… I guess I should learn a bit more first.”
“Do you have a husband or wife? Any significant other that might be able to help?” Kun started to write stuff down on his clipboard.
“Er, I have a roommate?” You fidgeted with the hem of your skirt, unsure of what Kun meant.
Kun exhaled loudly, leaning back in his chair, his annoyance with you obvious. “I meant someone you could have sex with, madam.”
“I have a vibrator?” You laughed, the hairs on your arms standing due to your nerves.
Kun bit his lip. “I think it’s in your best interest to choose another option.”
“Um, but I think this would be the easiest for me… All I have to do is track possible side effects, right? And I can go home?” You flipped through the other studies, ranging from a hypothermia study to a sociology study.
“Well, you’d have to stay here for a week, only so we can see how you’d react… but yes, you can.” Kun clicked his pen against the clipboard. “I’ll give it to you. Let me lead you to your room.
~
It actually wasn’t that bad, considering this was an independent clinic. You had your own bedroom and bathroom, and your roommate sent you clothes for your week stay. 
Kun sat on the chair next to your bed, letting you settle in before giving you the shot.
“I’m ready.” You sat on the bed, shuffling over to where Kun was sitting.
“There.” Kun injected it. “I’ll stay with you for the first hour, if you don’t mind.”
“Not at all. Do you wanna get in bed with me?” You scooched over, letting him in. 
“Um…” Kun stood up, sitting down next to you, taking his shoes off before moving to sit next to you.
“So, Doctor, how’s your day going?” You turned on the TV in front of you, switching the channel to some cheesy reality Lifetime show.
“You’re the first person I’ve seen today, so I guess… Good.” Kun inspected your body, from the palms of your hands down to your chest, then your thighs and feet. “So… what made you want to do this?”
“Money?” You glanced at him, noticing how plump his lips were after he bit his bottom lip. “Why does anyone let themselves do something like this?”
“Well, you’re not wrong, I guess.” The palm of his hand pressed against your forehead, trying to feel for your temperature. “Are you feeling okay?”
“It’s only been like… 5 minutes, so I guess I feel the same.” You looked up at Kun, who was now standing up and sliding his shoes back on.
A minute turned to two minutes, two turned to twenty, twenty turned to sixty…
“I want to check something.” Kun grabbed his stethoscope, putting it in his ears and against your heart. “I’ll be back in a minute…”
You just sat there, scrolling through your phone. 
And it started. Your back hit the bed’s back board, the heat getting to you. You knew you were going to get horny, but you didn’t know it was going to be this bad…
The heavy wooden door opened again. “Okay, so I wanted to see if-” 
“Doctor…” Your voice was so whiny, you hardly knew you could make that kind of tone. “Need you.” You sat on your knees, reaching out for him, lips pouting, drawling out every word. Blood coursed through your veins, your heart beating out of your chest. And you felt all the blood rush to your clit at the sight of Kun.
“Fuck.” Kun pressed the stethoscope back against your chest, and after about 10 seconds he ripped it out of his ears, falling down towards your body, one of his hands on your shoulder, the other on your back. “Come on sweetie, let’s get you in the shower… or something, I…” Kun frantically looked around, his concern for you resulting in a furrowed brow. “Did your roommate bring you anything, a dildo, or…”
“You…” You finally got out a word. “Please, fuck me.” Tears began to well up in your eyes. It truly was a feeling you never felt, it was like you had been edging for days without release.
A million thoughts rushed into Kun's mind all at once. The loudest one being the word pathetic. You were a pathetic, whining mess, begging him for his cock, needing to fuck him. And it made him so hard. Any man would get hard in his situation, he figured. But he knew he had to stay professional, even if it was for a few more minutes. “I… I don’t think I can, I mean, I’m your doctor!” Kun pushed you off him, then slipped your jacket off you, trying to get you to cool down. 
You had a ball of the fabric of Kun’s lab coat in your fist. “Please, I need… anyone.”
“Fuck, fuck… I thought Jaemin fixed it… I knew I shouldn’t have fucking trusted him.” Kun bit his lip, half wanting to search the suitcase and dressers in your room, but also knowing he needed to comfort you right now.
“Cum… Cum inside me…” You whined, your head hitting Kun’s chest. You breathed in the thick scent of his cologne. Minty, musky and woody. He smelled so good, and that just made things worse for some reason. It truly felt like you were going feral, like you were turning back to your primal instincts, needing him inside you, his warm release, to be filled up. “Need… you inside me…”
“Come on baby… work with me.” Kun helped you to your feet, leading you into the bathroom. The lock on the door automatically locked behind the two of you. Kun started undressing you as quickly as possible then pushed you into the bathtub. “Tell me if the water’s too cold.” He turned on the water, the cold helping lower your temperature.
“Kun…” You cooed, wrapping an arm around his neck. “Please, fuck me.”
You caught Kun looking at your body, up at your breasts and down to your thighs…
“I’ll, um…” Kun’s hand entered the water,  and began to rub your clit, making you immediately reach your climax.
“Doctor!” You cried out. “More, more please!”
“I don’t know, I don’t know how to help you anymore…” Kun mumbled, thinking hard.
“Cock, please…” You whined.
“Fuck…” Kun helped you out of the bathtub and wrapped you in a towel, quickly drying you off then leading you to the bed, bending you over the mattress.
“Cum inside, please, please, please…” You really felt like you were actually going brain dead, the only thing on your mind being Kun’s cock. 
And he finally was inside you. You let Kun do whatever he wanted to with your body. You figured he must’ve been pent up, too. The way his cock slammed into your womb, hitting your cervix with ease, letting you know how sore you were going to be tomorrow. His hands made their way into your mouth, both middle and ring fingers hooking into your cheeks, stretching your lips horizontally, making you drool, tongue sticking out on its own.
He was rough, nothing like the shy boy he was two seconds ago, who didn’t even know if he should be fucking you. It was like a flip switched in his brain, like he was just pretending to be kind so his cock would feel even better when it went inside you…
“Doctor, please be gentler!” You felt like you were melting on his dick, so hot and so hard…
“I don’t want to.” His hands moved to your neck, wrapping around your neck, choking you until you were unable to breathe. 
“Cumming!” You screamed out, hitting your second climax.
You felt your womb filling up with Kun’s cum before he pulled out. 
He picked you up and laid you back down. “Do you feel better?”
You nodded, sitting up, covering yourself with the blanket.
“Good. I’ll be back with your dinner.” Kun slid his pants back up then left.
~
And after about 30 minutes you felt like a bitch in heat all over again. 
“Dinner.” Kun entered again after 45 minutes, catching you with your fingers inside yourself. “Jesus Christ…” He sighed, slamming the tray onto the nearest table.
“Doctor…” You whimpered, hoping he would fuck your again. 
“You’re so… pathetic. And whiny.” Kun ran his hands through your hair, then grabbed your hand, pulling your fingers out of yourself and licking your juices off. He stood at the foot of the bed, grabbing your foot to pull you down and began to lick your clit. 
And again, you practically immediately reached your high…
Kun wiped his face, your cum on his nose and lips. “Do you feel better?”
You shook your head. “Cum…” You whined. “Please?”
Kun facepalmed, sighing. “Ride me.” He sat on the couch in your room. 
You slid off your bed and sat on Kun’s lap, facing away from him, lining his cock into you.
“You know, it’ll hurt more if you take it slow. Put it in all at once.” Kun his hand on your waist, stabilizing you. 
“I know!” You whined, shoving it in. “Fuck!”
“Hm? Is that it?” Kun’s tone became more mocking than annoyed. “Do I have to do everything for you?” His arm went under your knees, fucking you under you. 
“You’re in too deep, Doctor!” You cried out. You felt like Kun was in your womb. “You’re not gonna be able to pull out!”
“Don’t think.” Kun instructed.
And you did as told, letting your brain melt into nothingness other than the feeling of Kun’s cock inside you. You probably wouldn’t be able to recall your own name…
That was, until Kun’s cum flowed inside you again, bringing you into your own orgasm.
Kun dropped you back onto his lap, your arms wrapping around his neck and your head fell onto his chest.
~
You woke up still on Kun’s lap.
“How long-”
Kun cut you off. “45 minutes. It’s fine.” But really, the entire left side of Kun’s body was numb.
You nodded. 
“So, what did you think?” Kun asked you as you climbed off his lap and back onto your own bed.
“It was… good. Amazing, actually, I’ve never felt so good…” You started dreaming about getting stuffed full of Kun’s cum all over again…
“I was talking about the medicine, but thanks for rating my dick.” Kun scoffed, getting up to give you your dinner. 
“Oh. Not as fun.” You watched Kun.
“I, um… was thinking that you could live with me and help me test the rest of the iterations of the medication.” Kun hooked you back up to the blood pressure monitor. 
“Maybe.” You took a bite of the dinner. “But I’ll say yes if it means I can keep having sex with you.
“You can keep having sex with me even when you stop being my patient.”

SEASON OF BLOSSOMS
CHAPTER EIGHT IS UP! ($5 TIER)
Genre: Fantasy Romance Rating: 18+ Elevator Pitch: Bridgerton, but gay and with tieflings. Check out this story’s art under the tag Season of Blossoms
Includes: Mxm, mxf, and nbxm romance, sibling rivalries, romantic drama, fun sexy hijinks all around. This one’s lighter than most of the stuff I write, lol. There is a scene that takes place after an attempted suicide, but I think that’s the only thing that needs to be warned for.
In the nation of Tithly, it is custom that those of marriageable age travel to the city of Philsia for the yearly Season of Blossoms– four summer months of parties meant to provide youth the opportunity to find their spouse. This year will be the first year that all three of the Tsylgahra siblings attend: Mithleem, Anli, and Lisanth.
Three years after his wife’s tragic death, Mithleem has finally decided that he’s ready to start his search for someone new. As one of the top people in his class at the Academy and a successful doctor during his time in the army, he’s a household name and a hot commodity at parties, including one thrown by Tithly’s most renowned painter. There Mithleem is called to the bedside of the painter’s equally famous spouse, Ysaika Talorilau, and it may take someone of Mithleem’s skill to save their life.
Anli’s been to Philsia three times for the Season, but she hasn’t had much luck. This time she meets a young man above her station who shows interest, and despite her misgivings, she’s willing to give him a shot, even if the family’s new steward, Thyla Daschanhildi is quite insistent that Anli deserves better. Anli’s not sure about that, but she knows that Thyla’s only ever been supportive and loyal, sometimes to such a degree that Anli wonders if there’s more to it.
As the youngest Tsylgahra and wild child of the family, Lisanth is interested in racing horses, starting squabbles in the local tavern, and worrying his parents on the nights he doesn’t come home. However, he knows he can’t put off Philsia forever, and at the insistence of his mother, Lisanth grudgingly makes the journey with his siblings to the City in the Sky. There he meets a stranger who wields charm with just a hint of danger. Only later does Lisanth come to realize that the stranger is in fact a prince– Prince Jafkar A’nesh to be exact.
EXCERPT:
     The coach pulled up to the front door and Thyla leapt from the front seat. When she saw Anli hunched over by the column, she rushed to her side.
            “Miss Anli! Are you alright?”
            “Can you please help me?” Anli asked in a small voice, ashamed that she had to ask but knowing she could not make it from the column to the coach on her own or even with a cane.
            “Of course! Would you like me to carry you?”
            “Carry me?” Anli flushed. “Um. I don’t want to be a bother—”
            “No bother to me, though I understand if to you it may seem undignified. I can retrieve the wheelchair if you’d like.”
            Anli paused to think about the options, because it was a bit undignified, but also very tempting. The distance was not long, but thinking of crossing it on foot made Anli curl further inward, and the wheelchair seemed like too much effort for what amounted to only several walking strides. “Okay,” she said, feeling low—humiliated even.
            “I’ll be quick about it,” Thyla promised, then bent and hoisted Anli up into her arms with barely more than a grunt of effort. Her strength shocked Anli, though Anli was barely heavier than a 12-year-old, so maybe it was no great feat. Being this close to Thyla reminded her of her trip and fall earlier, right into Thyla’s chest. Very elegant, that one. It did give her a chance to enjoy the scent of alfalfa that lingered on Thyla’s jacket, which seemed even stronger now. Anli did love the smell of hay.
            Thyla crossed the distance in five strides, then put Anli down so she could open the coach door and help Anli up the two metal grate steps and through the door. Before Thyla closed it, Anli popped her head back outside.
            “Yes. Took a while, but I managed. Have you heard any word about him?”
            “Not since I was initially told. I wonder who it is he’s looking after. I hope it’s not Garitt. I haven’t seen much of him all night.” Anli gasped. “Actually, I never saw Ysaika at all! Do you think it could be them?” Anli hadn’t even thought about it, but it was odd to see so little of the host, and Anli had hoped to see Ysaika in the flesh at least once. She might not have another chance.
            “I’m not sure, Miss Anli. Best not to speculate.”
            Anli nodded, cowed. “Of course. You’re right. I’ll ask Mithleem later. Um. Thank you for your help.”
            “My pleasure.”
            Anli let Thyla close the door, then curled up on the upholstered bench, wincing and hissing every time the carriage jolted underneath. After rolling through a particularly brutal pothole, Anli felt the touch of something against her hand and looked down to find the pink sally she’d put in her hair now wilted in her lap. She picked it up and twirled it, then clutched it to her chest, smiling. No pain could ruin her night. This Season was already promising to be her best.

Thank you for the tag, @freenarnian :D
Are you named after anyone? Kind of? First name, not exactly deliberately, but after my parents announced it some relatives assumed I was named after a great-great-grandparent because it's a variation on her name. Middle name is also my mother's middle name, and my older half-sister's, and several nieces', so it's a bit of a family tradition.
When was the last time you cried? Lol, earlier today while doing book club with my dad.
Do you have kids? None of my own, much as I would love to. But I am surrounded by many of them to whom I am an aunt and honorary aunt, and I love them all dearly.
What sports do you play/have you played? I haven't ever really Done Sports in any kind of traditional way? I did archery casually, fencing briefly (very much wanted to do it longer, but lessons just weren't in a viable location) and karate for quite some time, though, if those count.
Do you use sarcasm? Yes? Though when it's regarding any actual people I'm interacting with I try to keep it very gentle and lighthearted, not biting.
What is the first thing you notice about people? Hmm, I'm really not sure how to answer that. I feel like it depends so much on the context and the person?
What's your eye color? Blue!
Scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings, most definitely. I can appreciate some good scary elements, but I'm much less likely to enjoy a story if it doesn't have some form of happy ending.
Any talents? I have been told public speaking. :P Not that I enjoy it. I dread it immensely, in fact. But I am good at memorizing the basics of what I'm going to say and then delivering it without extensively referring to notes, so I guess I can manage it more naturally than most who don't do it regularly? More seriously, I suppose I could say writing or art or giving feedback on others' writing, but those all feel more like... skills laboriously acquired across great time and effort rather than talents, I guess?
Where were you born? In a hospital? Though very close to being in the car on the way there, lol.
What are your hobbies? Art, writing, and reading, mostly.
Do you have any pets? Just one cat currently! I've had more at any given time for a good part of my life (birds and snakes and fish and dogs and cats and hamsters), but not currently.
How tall are you? According to my doctor's office, 5'3", but that is measuring with shoes on. :'D
Favorite subject in school? Probably history or science? Though actually, looking back, I don't particularly remember either loving or hating much in school (other than writing, which was The Actual Worst, lol). I just loved to read, mostly.
Dream job? I mean, the ultimate dream would be stay-at-home mom, really. Barring that... I guess it would be either doing what I'm doing now but making money more efficiently at it, or working in some kind of zoo/animal sanctuary (yes, fully aware that that latter involves a very high proportion of cleaning up animal mess).
Tagging: Hm, I know it's been going around, but I'm trying to remember who I've already seen do it... @atlantic-riona, @fictionadventurer, @hollyhock13. @ablatheringblatherskite, if any of you care to?

So, on the WIP tag game, I think it's going to have to be bodice-rippers, and just in case you have already been asked for that one (!) let's have 'yes'. Actually let's just have both 😊
Thanks for the ask. Oh, good lord. You've made an impressive go of sinking the big battleships with those two choices.
So "bodice rippers >>>>>> 10 years formal science training" is the working title for the master-doc that I have ALL of my writing for The Wavesinger in. That's the long story I've whittled away at for my first D&D character, Natt. I haven't added to it in a while now, since my attention drifted to other projects, but I'll sometimes flip through it fondly. There's some scenes I whipped out before posting the first arc online (over on Ao3 btw, go stream!) and a whole boat-load of ideas for where the story goes next. I was quite fixated upon taking them somewhere cold, for some reason. There's "sketches" of fight scenes, playful scenes, overarching plot things. There's even an explicit scene, labelled "illegal wavesinger", which I wrote mostly out of curiosity (I tend not to write those scenes but wanted to see if I could). In my shame I immediately hid it at the bottom of the doc and coloured the text in white lmao.
It's titled that because I wrote 20k words in the span of a couple of weeks, like, fairly effortlessly. This was a massive surprise to me since I was used to crawling through glass just to squeeze out a couple thousand words for any reports in my science life lmao. I felt a bit silly about being so enthusiastic for something that was, in all essence, a bodice ripper but with two dudes and tongue-in-cheek labelled the doc that.
It's a bit bizarre that my inspiration for getting into writing creatively like this all came from me deciding a couple years into my D&D game that, "Oh my GOD, why did I give him a pun name? Natt Twenny is so LAME. I have to come up with a reason for why he's called that!" Several tens of thousands of words and tonnes of brainworms later...
Funny then that the other choice in this ask is "yes". I need to stop titling things in the most unserious way possible... I think it's because I'm awful at coming up with titles and just rock with something random I come up with when it's time to post lol.
"yes" is the master-doc for the other big thing I have posted on Ao3! My first foray into fanfic, My Favourite Patient. I got roped into playing Stardew Valley with my sister (much against my will) then promptly became obsessed with the game and its characters. I particularly liked the little anxious doctor guy who my character married in-game, Harvey. I literally hadn't written any fiction before, so the writing's a little... unpracticed, but I genuinely had so much fun writing it. Just plucking interactions from the game and fleshing them out. I don't really play much any more, so my attention dwindled and I ran out of steam to keep writing that fic. That said, there are a couple of things in there that I didn't get around to posting yet. Maybe when I get round to checking out the new update, I'll get a little bit of enthusiasm and give that a proper ending.

current hyperfixation? (feel free to infodump!!)
YIPPEEE!!! This made my day FR!! Thank you, mutual <3
ANYWAYS
This is kind of embarrassing, but I’ve been deeply invested by my own OCverse for going on 8 years now. Its my Special Interest, which sucks because,,, im the only one who can make content of these stinkies,,,,,
I really find it hard to hyperfixate on anything else because of the fact Ive been invested for so long (except for Web Design and coding, which I wont infodump about, since its literally all for these stories, deadass).
It is not fun at times because 1) all the characters live rent free in my head and criticize how I write them in my novels [that DID life] and 2) its SO hard to make new projects and get attached to them. Ive been trying for 2 years to make a horror project out of one concept but I seriously cant get fully invested and it SUCKS. Let me make my silly little horror web series damnit!!!!! (@ my brain)
I have 3 novels and one fantasy series im working on so,,,, Infodump time >:3c
TWs: Terminal Illness + brief mentions of (mental institute) hospitalization, murder, war, and some others that I’m not 110% sure the exact tags for them (basically kind of cannibalism, but between nonhuman species). Other than terminal illness, they’re super brief mentions, but still proceed with caution.
Right now, I’m working on one of the books I’ve been writing for nearly my whole time writing. Ive been only working on it since feb 1st (it’s, like, the THIRD draft tho).
Blurb about book
Melissa is a bassist in a rock band she formed with her high school friends. Just as her, and her friends’, career begins takes off, she gets diagnosed with a terminal illness. With a month left to live, and a shit ton of unfinished business, she invokes her best friend’s patron deity who is capable of miracles, Flip. Melissa and Flip make a pact to keep her alive until her business is over, but oh no! Melissa has caught the eyes of another god, and a pretty shitty one at that. How is she going to make her last months peaceful if she’s being hunted down by a god?
The working title is called “Ensuring Your Spot In Hell” because Flip is, essentially, a demon in the universe (rules an infernal ring of hell- it means I would have to explain the worldbuilding around hell and its A LOT), but titles are!!! So hard for me!!!
A list of random facts about the book™️ because I don’t want to write full paragraphs bc I can go on forever if u ask me to:
Flip’s name is a shortened version of his actual name, Fli’pyek. Furthermore, the domain Flip rules over is that of Wrath and Violence
Trinity (Melissa’s childhood bestie, and the friend that worship’s Flip) is a hereditary witch and pagan. Her family has been worshipping Flip and practicing witchcraft for several generations! They literally have their own holy book (generational BoS/Grimoire/whatever u want to call it).
Melissa had been sick with the disease™️ since she was 16. She just neglected the shit out of her own health (me too bestie, me too). It easily could have been prevented if she went to the doctor back when she was, at least, 18 years old, max 24.
At the time Melissa is diagnosed with her terminal illness, she’s 26. By the time she was supposed to die, she would’ve been freshly 27. Has anyone heard of the 27 club theory before? Or is it just an obscure reference I made LMAO
Melissa has extended biological family that worships Flip! It gets super awkward when Melissa visits them with Flip lol
The other primordial god that Melissa finds herself in a predicament with is named Ama, the god of Cruelty and Torture. Not a swell guy to get mixed up with, that’s for sure!
Melissa has an orange and white cat named Cheddar!
Flip always smells like whiskey and freshly cut tobacco. At all times. It’s bc his blood smells like it (and tastes like it too, but why are you tasting it? /j)
Any other facts might be getting into spoiler territory, BUT!! Thats the one Im working on rn, in February. In January I worked on another book, but that one honest to gods might be too triggering for this acc for an indepth thingy like the book I just did. It’s being rewritten to not be so triggering, but bc it’s a throw up of some of our trauma, it’s not an easy task to censor it.
REGARDLESS, Here’s a rundown of ALL of my main novels (minus the one I already talked about)
The Case of Twin Woods [mystery, drama, crime] (the one i worked on January)
Chastity hates her life. She hates her shitty job, she hates her shitty friends, and she hates her shitty family. After opening up too much to an online friend about her chronic suicidality, Chastity gets taken to Twin Woods Mental Institute, the state’s mental institution. There she befriends an eccentric group of patients, then finding out something terrible might be going on with the head warden, Leon Bellamy. She takes it upon herself to find out and solve the mystery, but she may have bitten off more than she can chew.
Untitled One (but leaning towards the name of ‘Jealousy’ or somethin idk) [drama, romance, crime]
Mia has a quiet life. She works at a library, she fosters cats, and by all means, has what could be considered a ‘boring life’. One day, she gets laid off from her job under the excuse of “cutting costs”, leaving her without a job and severance. While scrambling for a job, she finds one at a local cafe, the most frequented one in the city. There she befriends one of the regulars, a cold, quiet man named Zander, and after she unknowingly helps Zander’s brother, she becomes significantly closer to him. However, her boss, a bitter ex of Zander’s, hears about their ensuing closeness and decides she doesn’t like what’s going on. One failed dinner party and murder attempt later, Mia is left scrambling to hide that she killed Angelina in self defense. Will she be successful in hiding the murder? Or will the justice system make quick work of her?
Untitled Fantasy Series (has about 2 actual novels and 3 novellas… a possible third novel too) [drama, romance]
book one
Since his birth, King Sunshine has known his fate. He is to be sacrificed for the greater good of the realm he resides, killing his oppressive father, but losing his life in the process. It’s a prophecy that has been laid out since the beginning of Racktokian history, one King Sunshine was never able to escape due to his father’s unspoken rage at his own murder. After meeting a Vurtock for the first time, a species his father only used as cattle, Sunshine finds himself quickly entangled in a plot to overthrow his own father to liberate the Vurtockian race. He knows what he has to do, but it isn’t easy.
book two
The great war tore apart the country King Sunshine called home. His father left no stone unturned from his rage, and public opinions split the people. In the rubble of his home, he builds a new country founded on the importance of the civilians, only to be elected as a King in place of his father. Living in the palace he always called home, but had tried to escape, he finds that his father keeps sending assassins to make attempts on his life. One assassin, a vurtock with nothing to lose, hits a soft spot in Sunshines heart. After deescalating the attempt on his life, he offers the vurtock to stay in his castle until they’re able to find the proper resources to help him build a life in the new country. Far away from the oppressive dictatorship of his father. Yet, as his guest begins to stay for longer than intended, he sees that yet another step in the prophecy will begin.
Despite how the second book blurb is written, it’s more from the vurtock’s point of view than Sunshine’s. I just had a total brain fart.
The novellas for the fantasy book follow the POV of other important characters, such as the ruler of the Vurtockian rebellion, the POV of other rulers. For a while I wanted to write one from Raphaël’s POV, but I decided it wouldn’t be worth writing a whole book about a piece of shit finding joy in the pain he causes. Like, no thanks, ill pass.
Theres a possible 3rd book that would essentially be an extended epilogue, since the prophecy doesn’t stop at Sunshine’s death. I just haven’t thought as far as the 2 books and 3 novellas, in terms of outlining the books and stuff.
I honestly could give TONS more info on the fantasy books because that part of my universe has been around nearly the whole time Ive been writing. I have maps of the world, maps of countries, maps of even just cities, house and castle layouts, moodboards, art. Visual references galore. Not to mention the playlists for each character + each book. I also made a document called “The Remian Bible” because it has everything about the world in it, including the alphabets of the languages, grammar structures for said languages and literally 5 holy books for the religions even tho they wont evEN BE TALKED ABOUT IN ENOUGH DEPTH (why did i do that to myself /lh j/. It doesn’t help that I still want the write the holy books in their native languages… oo,,, and imagine writing the actual novels in the native languages,,,,). It’s honestly kind of,,, surreal how much time Ive put into this world 🧍 Like??? Damn,,,,
BUT YEAH!!! Those are all the books that take place in my ocverse + some other info!!! The things that are my hyperfixation,,,, My own books and world LMAO— The books don’t include half of the ocs in my ocverse tho, so thats where the website im coding comes in. It’ll have short stories based on the backstories of various characters on it, and Yes, even the background characters will be on it bc Im fucking bonkers and fleshed them out, even though some of them are in one scene for 2 minutes.
That being said, if anyone, or u mutual (if u read this wall of text), found any of this interesting, or wants to read even just the prologue of any of these, DM me!! I’m always looking for beta readers!! Or people to talk to about it too, that’d be fantastic. I really need beta readers, so seriously. DM me if u want to read my cringey stories!! I can give better in depth tws too!!!
EDIT: I need to mention that I go through spurts of hyperfixating on only one book or series. Thats why its both my hyper fixation AND my Special Interest

From the Start ch 2 - Trans Trafalgar Law x AFAB Mink Reader
Tumblr media
The Straw Hat crew has saved you from Caesar's horrific gas bomb Jack deployed on Zou. Later, Luffy arrives at the island with Law. With some confidence, you could even bother this tired, apathetic looking man for some time alone.
Minors DNI
Alright, there he is! I'm apparently bad at writing deprication 🤣 which is ok, Law isn't meant to be experienced either LOL. I'm better at praise myself... Repost; shoulda posted like this on tumblr originally but eh
CW: Describing wounds/stitching wounds, Objectification, Deprication kink, Spanking, Fingering, Breast play, Mastectomy scars
“Hey, are you alright? Hey!” A woman’s voice made your ears flick. Furrowing your brow due to the headache you felt, you slowly opened your eyes to find you were on the ground, laid out and bandaged up around your ribs, your upper arms, your thigh. Someone had saved you. You try to sit up, but the aching of your muscles forces you back down. You turn your head, your neck protesting, and find that others are being treated. An orange haired lesser mink sat holding Bepo’s head in her lap, reapplying ointment in order to start bandaging his head. Bepo winced and complained, but he seemed just fine. Penguin and Shachi stood over them, grinning, plenty bandaged up themselves.
“What happened,” you mumble as a dwarf blue-and-pink-hat wearing reindeer mink approaches you. “Who are you?” You rudely stare at his flashy hat, but he doesn’t seem to mind.
“My name is Tony Tony Chopper, doctor of the Straw Hat pirates,” he droned the greeting he likely said to half of the Mokomo Dukedom already. He was scribbling something into a notebook, obviously distracted. “I learned your name was Y/N, yes?” He looks up at you with cute, but very serious eyes.
You stifle a pained giggle. “Y-yes, Doctor. What happened to that mammoth?”
“Jack left you all to die using Caesar’s gas weapon,” Chopper mumbles, continuing to write. “Okay, Mx. Y/N, it seems you have some severe injuries. While they’re healing quickly, you’ll still need stitches. I heard from locals you have a devil fruit ability and that ability has really strained your muscles to top it off, so you need a lot of rest, okay?” You nod your furry head, sighing at the sight of blood seeping through your thighs bandages. You could still move your legs at least.
“Hey, quit moving,” Chopper scolds, so you do. He taps his chin thoughtfully with the pen, “I’ll have to redress this again. Tora-o’s group has helped in our efforts immensely despite the amount of patients,” he rambles this to himself at this point, “Mr. Miyagi & Tristen will appreciate their help tomorrow."
“Tora-o?” You blink at the little deer.
“Trafalgar Law,” he said, causing you to perk up. “He’s an excellent surgeon, the best as far as I know.”
Your heart was beating wildly. The Heart Pirates had gone to meet with their captain. He was coming. It’d been a long while since you followed his story, you’d grown to have a crush on this figure- one you knew next to nothing about. You knew more now thanks to his crew, though. You could see the fire in their eyes as they described him with great respect or the laughter at the responses he would have to their antics, but it wasn’t your direct experience yet. You wince in pain, still recovering from the fight with Jack’s minions, but you can’t help but quake from excitement, pestering your stitches as a result. The room you were in had other minks with severe injuries that required monitoring as they healed, Law would come by and check them now, giving his crew some rest. Someone entered the building, several heavy footsteps indicated it was likely the Heart Pirates.
“Hey,” came a breathy masculine voice that was quite unique to your ears. “Bepo told me you fought to protect Zou beside him, so I’ve decided I’ll help you first.”
What a lovely sound, you think to yourself. I want him to talk more… You sat up with your elbow to get a better look at him. Wow, his hat looked softer than in the den den mushi photos plastered on his wanted posters. You try your best to focus, staring particularly at his sideburns, then down to the tattoo peaking out of his black button up. You shake the blush from your furred face. “Yes! Um,” you fumble with the bandage, your sharp wolf nails cutting through it.
A hand presses between your wolf ears, pressing the hair there down. You freeze. Glancing up, you realize Law placed his hand on your head. “Relax,” he said, “Don’t take it off right away. You shouldn’t be moving like that, don’t worry about it.” With a gentle push down on your head you slowly lie back again.
Law and another of his crew helped you on to the singular medical table the refuge had for this specific use. They had rolled it over to where you were easily and helped you onto it together. “Alright,” Law looked at your face, cool eyes watching your expression as you observed their actions. “Do you permit me to touch you?” You nod meekly, blush creeping up on you yet again. Law readied his supplies, then went ahead and cut away the gauze from your thigh. His steady gloved hands slowly worked to peel away the gauze, you couldn’t help but shiver. He observed the stitches on the shaved patch of skin and found them to be in good shape; Chopper was good at what he did after all, so Law prepared to disinfect and redress it.
“Is it… okay?” You ask. You wince as he sprays the disinfectant.
“As far as I can see, yes,” Law is monotone as he focuses. He redresses your thigh, then adjusts your hospital gown to cover it up again. “Alright,” he removed his gloves from the wrists seamlessly, “I’ll check the others now; you get some food in you and rest.”
“Wait,” you manage to blurt, “I’ve admired you for a long time I-,” you snapped your jaw closed, averting your eyes from his sharp golden ones. Finally, you continue, “I have a lot of questions I was hoping to ask.”
A smirk formed on Law’s face, “We can get to that later. I have my duties to tend to; I’m sure we’ll have time to talk later.”
Bepo smiled down at you as Law and the others walked off, they had already placed you back on the mat. You were still flustered, you felt a hint of sadness to watch Law go. “Say,” Bepo rubbed his furry chin, “Why are you still in mink form?”
“I feel less… insecure,” you sigh, “it’s stronger, to help me move easier while injured, too. Plus, I don’t want to feel so exposed without fur.”
“I see… I think I get what you mean,” Bepo nods. “Well, I’ll keep helping my captain. I’m sure the Straw Hats will be here soon enough. I hope we see each other again,” he smiled that bright, inviting smile. “As Captain alluded to, that banquet is in order for us.”
You nod, beaming in return. Your eyes drift back to Law and his main crew members, checking the next patient’s progress. You had so many questions to ask, but your throat had tightened as he worked on your thigh. His fingers lifted your gown dangerously close to revealing your slit, the thought of his hands anywhere near it set your face alight. You swallow hard, on top of that, you had already been slick thanks to his pretty voice to begin with… What green thoughts, you scold yourself, it’s not as though he's Interested in minks.
You weren’t necessarily better, but you were stubborn. It wasn’t an entirely fresh wound, you were certain you could manage. You had heard the commotion outside and saw Law approaching the scene with his crew. Nekomamushi was sprawled out on his porch and Chopper was yelling about getting more blood for him. Looks like you aren’t the only hard headed mink. Curious, you watch Law interact with who you recognized as Straw Hat Luffy from newspapers. You giggle as the Hearts begin to chant about how it was unfair they couldn’t spent time with Law’s new friend. A thought pertaining to Law and Luffy’s connection shot thru your mind, but you wave it away as outside of your range of business for now.
It was settled that tonight there would be a banquet thanks to Nekomamushi. You were determined to interact with Bepo’s captain… it seemed easy enough as Bepo was always by his side. Your heart beat wildly, anxious you would slip up.
You make your way to his crew that night as they were spread out enjoying their meals around camp fire with the Straw hats. You laugh and greet them, watching them heartily scarf meat and drink. “Hey!” Penguin called you over, he looked tipsy yet again. Law sat beside him on a log, watching you approach as he bit into some roasted fish. “Weren’t you going to introduce us to your human form, Y/N?” Penguin seemed eager.
“Yeah,” Shachi called out, also intoxicated, but keeping it together. “You promised us, aye?”
You grin brightly at them, “It is quite hot here, isn’t it. I suppose I could,” you gesture down at your clothes. It was a sleeveless turtleneck with an easily adjustable strap, so you’d tighten it as you transform. It covered you down to your mid thighs in this form, so it would easily cover you half way down your calves in human form. You didn’t quite realize how skimpy it looked, though. Their eyes were glued on you, Law’s mostly with curiosity.
You do it - you transform - an instant change shrinking you down to about 5’5 rather than your wolf forms original 6’2. You make quick work to tighten and adjust the uniform. The boys, including Law, sputter their drinks and food. The fire accented your curves, thick thighs, full breasts and your skin practically danced with color. They could see quite a bit of you… You hadn’t quite calculated how much of your chest would be covered. Due to the shrinkage, the front of your shirt sagged forward to reveal the sides of your breasts. How easily one could fist the fabric with one hand, fully exposing your breasts.
“Shoot,” you can’t help but snicker, “I didn’t account for this… But do you like it?” The boys simply nodded. You frown slightly at Law as he was clearly avoiding looking at you. You feel a flash of confidence. You walk over to him and lean forward, making just a touch more of the sides of your breasts visible, you press your face into his hat, “Garchu, thank you for helping me, Doctor~,” you practically purr, enjoying the texture of his soft hat.
Law stiffens under your touch. He was used to the minks minkshipping him left and right by now. Surprised to see breasts just passed the brim of his hat, he blushed furiously, but there was something else that interested him. He reached up to grab your arms firmly and guided you to stand before him. He looked you over, scanning your skin, then took an arm to look at the pigmentation closely. “Your skin is splotchy like mine is,” he commented, running fingers along your arm. You had lost your confidence. You just stood there, shaking with excitement. Your other hand is on his shoulder, you watch his inked fingers roll along. He was treating you like a cadaver, studying your flesh with cold clinical fascination. Penguin sits there in surprise, shocked at his captains behavior, but doesn’t comment.
“I rarely meet other people with leucism,” he didn’t elaborate further, he would have to divulge into sensitive topics he would rather avoid. Instead, he finally let you go, gently dropping your hand down. There was pink along his cheeks, he looked up at you and smirked, “I apologize.”
“It’s fine! I’d show you more, if you wanted,” you cleared your throat, realizing that may have been too forward. Law laughed, the low, smooth sound set your face ablaze. Penguin and Shachi – who had walked over a second ago to join his best friend – stared with slack jaws.
“I’d take you up to the offer, but there’d have to be a good reason,” he shook his head, brows furrowed, a grin spreading. “I respect people’s bodies, you shouldn’t be treated like some display. But, next time I check your leg I might look a little longer.” the last few words were laced with humor.
You let out a sigh, trying to release some tension. You smile back at him now, your hand on his shoulder retracts back to you, “I really don’t mind,” you pause a moment, playing with your hand. After focusing back on his handsome face, heart fluttering, your eyes become half lidded, and as clearly as you can manage you say, “I can strip for you, too, if you’re interested. I have a lot of questions, Mr. Trafalgar. I’ll pay you for some answers.”
Law shakily leaned forward, bringing the brim of his hat down over his face. He wasn’t sure how to respond, his crewmates were silent at first, then began to cheer and shook Law. You back up, laughing at their antics. Deciding to leave them for now, you head for Bepo, who had noticed the commotion.
“What’s going on?” Bepo tilted his head.
“Nothing,” you beam at him. “I was just saying silly things, it made them laugh. Hello, Doctor Chopper,” you look down beside Bepo and gently took the much littler mink’s hoof. “Thank you for treating me! All of you, thank you.”
Chopper smiled happily and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. “Hehe, you idiot! I don’t even know who you are, bastard! When did I help you? I’ve only treated minks so far.”
Unable to control yourself you burst out laughing, hearing such a cute voice curse was hilarious. You wipe a tear away to finally respond, “You’re the mink who helped me, right? I’m that wolf you were told has a devil fruit that boosts my strength.”
“Huh?!” Chopper was amazed, “Well, first of all I’m a reindeer not a mink! Second of all, what?! You’re human!”
You shake your head, “Well, you’re not a mink and you look like one, don’t you? I’m a human thanks to my devil fruit. I was a wolf when you met me.”
“Oh,” Chopper claps his hooves together, “Is that a human-human fruit then? Like mine?”
“Is that what yours is?” You tilt your head, not seeing him resembling a human at all, “That’s odd, it turns you into a mink rather than a lesser mink? Er, but yes, that’s right.”
Chopper nodded, “Hmm… this is fascinating. How a zoan fruit affects a mink vs an animal vs a human. Very fascinating!”
“Enough about that,” It was Shachi that ran over, “Uhm, Y/N, my Captain wanted to uh, see to your wounds again after the banquet.”
A blush threatened to bloom yet again on your cheeks. “I see,” you giggle, “He had to send someone in his behalf?”
Shachi chortled, rubbing the back of his neck, “He was pretty out of his element when you said all that…stuff. Anyway, um, I’ll be there and so will Penguin, so its, um, not meant to be related to that…”
Taking a bite of a marshmallow you grabbed from a bag Chopper had with him, you nod. Shachi quickly twirled around back to where his captain sat. You lean forward to peer over at the group, seeing Shachi pick up his drink and give Penguin, Law and the girl you remember named Ikkaku a toast. Luffy popped up to be included, along with Zoro. Law stole a glance your way, meeting yours immediately. You could see the nervousness in them as he glanced away, but then he met your eyes again, trying to maintain some conviction. You smile at him, hand on your cheek, and he averts his gaze to his drink. How cute.
“So, Captain,” Shachi nudged Law as they came down from their laughter. The other additions besides Penguin had moved on. “Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you sneak away with anyone before and I’ve known you my entire life. Are you a virgin?”
Law rolled his eyes, “Classified,” he took a sip of his drink.
Penguin chuckled, “Aren’t you, Shachi?”
“No!” Shachi drunk rosey cheeks bloomed redder, his teeth grit, “I-I’ve been approached by girls before!”
“I bet you’ve had sex with each other,” Law retorted. They both go silent, faces clearly looking away. “Nailed it,” he mused, “and don’t go into detail about it, either. I don’t care if it involved penetration,” leaving the two to their floundering, he stood to fetch himself some water. He shot a glance your way as he went.
Have sex? With a stranger? That’s absurd. Sure, I’m a pirate, I could do what I want, but what good is it if I don’t love them… Law’s thoughts trailed off, he looked down at himself. Tch, idiots. I’ve never had anyone interested in me. Well, maybe Zoro or Luffy have hinted, but, gah! Be vulnerable like that with rivals? Insane. No. Regular civilians have never had the guts to approach me, even if they did find me attractive. Otherwise it’s always been shitty pirates I’ve fought, flirting with me to mock me. What’s there to like anyway?
Law serves himself some water at the table they’d been eating at half an hour ago. There was still plenty of food on the table, Sanji had made sure it was covered before heading off to drink. He felt a tad queasy looking at the food, he wasn’t used to eating so much. Am I nervous? He thought, looking down again. He unbuttons his shirt to look down at the gauze still wrapping his abdomen. I’m still bandaged up, too. I don’t want to risk – what am I thinking?! I’m not going to go anywhere alone with that person! Nothing’s going to open my wounds because I’m not doing anything.
His cheeks flushed and he stood there, leaning against the tree next to the tables edge, tapping his foot anxiously. They were interesting, though. Seeing more of them would be interesting. They’re a mink who can turn human! Isn’t that just interesting? Sure minks parts could differ specie to specie, but if they’re human they should be the same… Mink’s aren’t well documented, maybe it calls for research…
His foot tapped faster, he lowered the hood of his cap. No one knows. I can’t just lie with strangers! No one knows! They can’t know, I don’t know them to tell them that.
“Hello,” came a voice that had burned into his memory. The seductive words that had tumbled out of them only minutes ago still echoed in his head, “Are you okay?”
He froze, only his eyes looked down at you, but he tried to play it off and shifted his leg to rest his foot against the tree. “I’m fine, Wolf Mink-ya,” he sipped to distract himself.
To his shock, although he didn’t move away, you feel up his bicep, running your fingers over the gauze like feathers. “When did you get hurt?” Your voice was casual.
Law felt sweat on his brow, unsure what to do or what to say without stuttering. They’re a mink, of course they’re so touch, he reasoned this matter-of-factly. Plus, I grabbed their arm earlier. I suppose it’s only fair.
When the silence stretched a second too far you look him over. You giggle, “I thought the check up Shachi mentioned was just for checking my wound, right?”
Law wasn’t sure what you meant. He hadn’t said anything. “What?”
You tap your own nose, “I smell a bit of… excitement, that’s all.”
Law’s face went beat red, “Huh?! Of course it’s only for a checkup,” he slammed the cup onto the table, earning some looks from the others. He hesitated, “I’m sorry for yelling.”
You were laughing, though, the biggest grin on your face. “It’s okay! No need to be embarrassed. It’s normal, right? I’m happy you like how I look. You’re way out of my league, so pretty.” He staggered, unsure if to leave or to stay. “I see,” you continue, “You’re a little flighty, aren’t you? I’ll stop bothering you if I’m making you uncomfortable.”
“N-no,” Law took in a long, deep breath, then sighed. “I’m usually on people’s to-avoid list.”
“I can tell by that grimace on your face,” you pinch his elbow lightly, “and I’ve read why people fear you. I think your powers are cool. Hot, even.”
He glared at you, "You said you had questions,” he took your hand away from his arm, but he didn’t let it go. “You said you want to pay me. You’re bribing me. Why? What are the questions?”
“Well,” a coy smirk graced your face, “first, what happened to your arm, sir?”
Law’s breath hitched, his grip on your fingers tightened. “Fine,” he took your forearm into his other hand. He could feel the other’s eyes boring into him. “I just arrived from Dressrosa. Doflamingo, the now former king, sliced off my arm,” he reached under your arm, encircling your upper arm with his pointer and thumb to indicate where the cut occurred. “The Tontatta, a race of tiny people, helped reattach my arm thanks to the Heal-Heal fruit their princess ate. Satisfied?”
You blush under his intense eyes, searing into yours as though searching something. Your breathing and your pupils fully betray you, your lungs working harder and your pupils blown out. “I’d like to see it,” you mumble. Law aggressively shoved your arm down, though not intending to hurt you, and struts off angrily. You watch his back fondly, it seemed you’d pushed him a bit too far. Giggling, you shake your head.
After the banquet you prepared to head home. Some of the pirates and mink were already asleep on the ground, full of food and drunk. As you made your way away from the Heart Pirates, all but a few sound asleep, you wave good bye and head off towards your home.
“Wolf mink-ya,” your wolf ears perk towards the sound of Law’s voice, your heart rate picks up. He hadn’t been around for the last bit of the banquet, he’d stormed off to sort his thoughts.
Excited, you whirl and startle him as you jumped into his arms, rubbing your nose into his cheek. You felt the skin of his face burning, his strong arms had instinctively cradled you and firmly squeezed your thighs, mostly out of reflex. Although, it didn’t help his bright tomato colored face to realize he was doing so. Realizing that likely hadn’t been a good idea, you jump down. He grimaced at your mischievous grinning face.
“I-I need to check your injury,” he maintained a relatively calm voice.
“Why not at my home?” You invite him, gently taking his hand. You saw his eyes dart to the side, contemplating his choices.
“No,” he stated firmly, “I need my tools. Come with me to my temporary place of residence.”
“Sure,” you flutter your eyelashes at him, he simply sighs and drags you along. Once at said abode, you see the home of one of the districts minks had accommodated the home for visitors. The rooms upstairs were for Law and his close crew, while the other stayed in separate dwellings altogether. Once the door was closed behind you two, you awkwardly stroll to his bed. He takes your wrist.
“I know I didn’t bring my crewmates but we aren’t fucking alright?” His grip was tight. “I just need to check you.” You nod meekly, following his instruction to lie on the bed and lift your turtlenecks hem. You do so, rolling it up to your thigh, making sure your core was still covered. Law had gotten his gloves and set his silver dish of tools on the night table.
He lit the candle on the table so he could see properly. Using his thumb, he gently rolled your leg to the side with your compliance so he got a view of your inner thigh. He stares for a moment, you caught him glimpsing at the hem of your top. You huff, holding the fabric a bit further between your legs in response. His hand squeezed your thigh as though to reassure you, but to you it looked like he was holding back his frustration.
“You… Can look, if you want,” you whisper, wondering if he even heard you.
A sharp exhale told you he did. “Will it shut you up?” He asked pointedly.
You snort, finding his faux annoyance amusing. You lifted the hem, your underwear wet along your slit. You watched his eyes scan, then widen. He reached out and pulled the underwear to the side with his thumb, making you squeak in surprise. “It’s purple,” he stated, “Your inner flesh is purple.” Lips pressed into a line, you stifle a laugh. Quickly, he pulls his hand away and exchanges the glove for a new one. “Sorry,” he mutters, cutting away at the gauze on your leg.
You watch him work, the candle light flickering along his features. His face was stoic with focus, but his eyes did glance to you on occasion. “Didn’t you have questions?” His soft voice jolted you back to reality.
“You have been sailing for about five years, haven’t you?”
“I’d say about 10 years,” he began to wrap your leg anew, “but our names have been big for around 5, sure. How would a mink know?”
“We get news coo,” you said simply.
“I see,” he finished, removed his gloves and turned to look at you, “Sit up, we’re done.” You do as you’re told, but you promptly wrap your arms around his neck and kiss his cheek. He is stiff, but doesn’t move away. With both hands, he gently removes your arms from his shoulders, scolding you when you take a bite of his cheek. “Quit that. Now what other questions? There’s no way that was it.”
“No,” you giggle like a school girl, rubbing your nose and lips against his sideburn, “I’d like to know about your travels, sir. They sound so exciting. What made you choose a submarine?”
Law cleared his throat, he seemed to enjoy the proximity as his hands held yours now. His thumbs absentmindedly pressed circles into your knuckles. “That’s… a personal question. But, the sub was created by a good friend of mine along with the blood, sweat and tears of my friends and myself. His name was Wolf, isn’t that ironic?” He mused.
You smile at him and he smiles back. Your heart flutters, eyes scanning his lips. He chuckles, letting go of one of your hands to press a thumb over your mouth. “I said we aren’t doing anything, okay?”
A whine escapes you, your wolf ears droop. “I’ve always wanted to meet you,” you confess, murmuring against the thumb, “I dream of diving the sea… it’s inspiring to me.” His lips unfurled at this revelation.
“Alright,” he gave you a peck on the cheek to catch your attention before you could nuzzle him again. “That was human affection,” he whispered into your ear, “Question?”
Excited, you caught his lips in a kiss. He promptly pulls away, his face flushed, his composure gone. “No!” He states firmly. His hands squeezed yours tightly, his fierce eyes glared into yours like daggers. “I can’t.”
“For a pirate, you aren’t very mean, are you?” You chortle, half lidded gaze making him waver. “Pirates should do and take what they want, right? But you don’t. That’s sweet.”
Frustration flashed in his eyes, he leaned forward and kissed you roughly, likely bruising your lips. As you parted, your panting was audible and so was his. “You need to shut up,” Law’s voice was dark, irritated. “Ask me more questions or get out.”
“I’m really we-“ your voice halts as he squeezes your throat.
“Questions. That is it, got it?” His grip is loose, but his fingertips twitched to threaten he’d tighten it.
“Let me join you,” you whisper.
The response was instantaneous. So fast in fact, you felt it wash away the heat inside of you. Your stomach bubbled like a cauldron, you felt like you wanted to vomit from the whiplash.
“Absolutely not,” the statement was matter-of-fact, instant, dry, cold.
“Why?” You choke out, wolf ears flattening against your head as he squeezed around your throat. Spots danced in your vision and an involuntary cough escapes you.
“You’re bribing me,” he said coldly. It wasn’t entirely false. “You’re a devil fruit user,” he loosened his grip, finally. “I have a policy against fruit users on my ship,” he turned away from you, the sensation of losing skin contact so much worse than his fingers controlling your airway.
“That’s my next question,” you reach out and grab his arm, your wolf tail curled and fluffed up, displaying your desperation. “Why don’t you let devil fruit users join?!”
He stopped, looked back at you, then scoffed. “You don’t get it? It’s a submarine. I refuse to let anyone who can’t swim join my crew. It’s a burden. If anything happens, that person dies, so they are prioritize to be saved. It isn’t right.”
Tears swelled along the edges of your eyes. A feeling washed over you: Caged; there is no making this better. You clench your teeth, you grab at his chest. “Then do something,” you beg, “You’re leaving, so please!”
“Do what?” He was amused by your pain. “Use your words,” he teased you despite your vulnerability.
The clap sound echoed through the room. Law stared in disbelief, his cheek stung thanks to the slap you landed. “Be mean to me, you stupid pirate,” there was acid in your voice, betrayed by your puffy red face.
Law stood up and slotted himself between your legs. Promptly, you wrap your arms around his waist and cry into his belly. “Please,” your pathetic begging continues.
Shifting in place – you felt it and squeezed his waist – Law contemplated his decisions. The district was asleep, the sun was rising, they wouldn’t wake until 6 PM. No one was in this house; no one but you and him. “I have some questions for you, now,” his husky voice almost cracked. You tense up. He continued without your response, “Do you like it when someone degrades you, Wolf Mink-ya?”
“Call me Omi,” you whisper.
“Omi?”
“It was a nickname I had as a child.”
“… So is that a yes to my question?” You feel his chuckle vibrate against your face.
You nod, a blush burning your cheeks.
“I can’t hear you, you slut,” he hissed.
“I do,” you buried your face further into his stomach. “I do. I do!”
He grabs your hair, pulling you back. You whimper under his scrutinizing gaze, he seems to smirk at the sight of your reddened lips, your tear stricken cheeks. “Next question,” his backed up in order to lean into your face, “Do you like pain, Omi-ya?”
You hesitate. Your eyes avert from his dark eyes, the gold color framed his dilated irises like hoops. He looked so much scarier close up, when he was serious, when he was hungry. “Y-yes,” you whisper. In response, he bites your jaw, making you jump.
“Good,” he promptly shoved you back onto the bed. Leaning over you, his body pressing tantalizingly onto yours, he breathed into your ear. “Green, yellow or red. Yellow to pause, green to go, red to stop. Do you understand, little wolf?”
Blood rushes thru you. Your core once again pooled with heat, you writhe to get comfortable. “Hn… Yes, sir. Green, sir.” You pout as he stands again, leaving you cold. Gooseflesh tingles along your arms as you feel your underwear be pulled down, then your legs pulled up by the ankles. He was staring. You reach up to cover your face from the embarrassment, yelping when he reached down and spread your folds with cold, clinical fascination. He rubbed your clit with his thumb, not to cause pleasure but to trace the anatomy. Your convulse at the sensation. His fingers, A, then T, dip into your aching entrance, making you groan. He chuckled, pushing them in further, turning them to inspect your walls.
“You’re so wet, how pathetic,” his voice is flat. “You desperate thing, expecting me to recruit you because you cry?” The ice in his voice made you flinch. “You think you could make it at sea like this? Let’s see how well you follow Captain’s orders.”
“Y-yes, sir,” you squeak.
“No, Captain,” he frowned. He removed his fingers, lifted your ankles into the air with his left hand. His right hand promptly descends on your ass, hitting you hard enough to echo in the room. He grins at your protests, slapping you a second time for doing so. “Don’t complain,” he rubbed the reddening spot with his palm, enthusiastically eating up the sight. “So wet,” he muses, “and it’s only getting worse. How weak, no holding back at all. You can’t disguise how much you want me to fuck you, can you.” He traces the patterns of your skin along your thighs.
“Do you like it?” Another slap to the same reddening spot, “Do you like me being in control? Is that what you’ve always dreamed of?” And another slap, tears prickled in your eyes and your screams and whimpers grow louder. “Did you fantasize over my wanted poster? How many times?” He suddenly flips you, your legs now between his thighs so you are locked in place. He reached out, you feel his slender fingers bury themselves in your ass cheeks. You shakily groan from the pleasure.
“Look at you,” he taunted, “So submissive. No fight in you, huh? Not an ounce.” His hands feel up your ass, then using both thumbs he trailed along the center until they reached the base of your tail. He grinned, the curled tail slowly began to fluff up from anticipation. He grasps the base and pulls ever so slightly.
“Ahhhhn~!” You lift your ass slightly towards him in response. He laughs at you, thumb prodding at your asshole, making you writhe. The sound of his laughter was one of mockery, but you still loved it, you swore you’d come on this alone if he kept this up. You tense up when a slap descended on your untouched cheek, hard enough to indicate he was determined to mark it.
“Do you like the idea of being unable to sit thanks to me?” He chided, “Whore, you’re in serious need of a leader, huh? You need someone to keep you in check. I bet, more than anything, you want to be my toy, don’t you?” At those words you shutter and he definitely felt it, he slapped you extra hard. He squeezed the reddening spot firmly, extending your squeal.
You hear him huff in frustration. He removes your legs from between his, then spreads them so your knees are propping you up. All the while, his right hand is gripping the base of your tail. You wonder what he was planning. Your whole body quakes as a warm, wet tongue slides over your slit, stopping to stuff itself into your entrance. A long winded moan overtakes you, you rut your hips to press further into his face. The rumble his throat made caused your walls to vibrate.
He backs away from you, you shiver as the air cooled the spit and fluid around your glistening entrance. “Please,” you muffle into the sheets. “Please fuck me.”
Law’s dark chuckle caught your ears. “I can’t,” he said. He flips you over, your legs submissively open to him. He laughs, giving your vulva a firm slap. “I don’t even know you, Omi-ya. In fact, I’m still fully dressed.” Before you could respond his long fingers stuff you, three of them. Your moans spill out as he massaged your g-spot, pressing up against you and dry humping against your thighs. You open one of your screwed shut eyes just to squint down. There isn’t a bulge in his pants as far as you could see. Curious. You could smell his testosterone, his arousal, his sweat, so why couldn’t you see it?
The knot inside you coils tightly at his ministrations. Your insides were so sensitive from all the teasing, it was no wonder you were about to gush. You look down, feeling his other hand snake up to grab the fabric over your chest, bunching it together to fully reveal your breasts. His hand left the fabric between your breasts and massaged the right one. You buck your hips at the sensation, moans quickening at both areas being pleasured. He leans over you and licks your nipple, sucking and nibbling with his front teeth. Your back arches, you sing his name as the knot came undone, your cum spills onto Law’s palm, splashing his wrist and pants.
You try to catch your breath, glancing down at his face as he loomed over you. It’s flushed again, he seemed taken aback by something. He cleared his throat and left to find a towel for you. You close your eyes, focusing on relaxing your lungs. After the sound of brief hand washing at the sink, you flinch as he wiped you up with the towel.
“Don’t you want help?” You murmur to him. He stared at you a moment, then shook his head. “Why?” You furrow your brows.
“I need a shower,” he mumbled half to himself, “I had plenty of fun already, it’s fine.” Sitting up, you indicate you want to unbutton his shirt. He snickered at you, “Still not tired, huh?” He allowed you to do so, revealing the gauze around his torso and the tattoo splayed across his chest.
You stare at his chest, your hand moves up to trace his tattoo. As busy as his chest was with tattoos and patches of light skin, you could see a long thin scar under his pecks. You trace the scar tissue with both hands on either end of it, spreading your finger tips along it’s length. His breathing quickened under your hands. Glancing up, you see he is staring at you, but there’s a hint of distrust in his eyes. Curious, you slowly bring your hands down his abs, then his happy trail. He winced and grabbed your hands before they could wrap around his belt.
“I can’t,” he insisted. “We’re done, okay? I need to shower,” he gently put your hands in your own lap. His hands held them for a little longer, then he rose them to your chest and adjusted your sweater to cover your breasts.
“Where will you go when you set sail again?” You whisper. It caught his attention, he sighed.
“Wano,” he stated. “We are going to face Kaido.”
“What?!” Your eyes widen in disbelief. You grab his shirt on either sides. “You can’t!”
He smiled, shaking his head, “You can’t stop me. It’s good you know the degree of danger that is. You’ve heard of the King of the Beasts, Kaido?”
“I have,” tears were in your eyes again, “If you have to face him, you’ll die.”
“Possibly,” he frowned, “but according to my plans, it should be possible to avoid confrontation. Now you see, huh? Being a pirate isn’t about having fun,” he gripped your chin firmly. “You aren’t coming. Got it?” You swallow your pride and look away. You don’t respond. “Got it?” he snapped, bringing your face back to attention. “You have to accept my rules. My first rule: No Devil Fruit Users. I’m sorry.”
Blinking away tears, you lean in to bite his lip. He doesn’t reciprocate, he allows you to bite and kiss his lips without responding. At some point however, your feel him smile under your affection. You cup his face, kissing him firmly until he finally did so back. He sighed through his nose and parted your lips.
“I’m telling you,” he whispered, tone gentle- almost loving. “I can’t do any more. I’ll take you back to your house; you can’t stay here,” he stood, taking your hand in his. Reluctantly, you do as he says, lowering and smoothing your oversized turtleneck back in place. Sleep began to tug at you, the night having been exhausting and the daylight already warming the bodies of the people on the ground. Together, you both walk out of the home and into said clearing. Shielding your eyes from the sun, you guide Law back to your home.

BUBBLES!!!! Hello hello I know I said that I’d send something YESTERDAY but again procrastinating seemed like a much better option lol BUT I AM SENDING SOEMTHING NOW!!!! And before that just wanted to say how much I loved the cute pedrito story really <3 we need more fluff and cuteness overload in this cruel, cruel world!!
OKAY NOW I was going to send a fluffy headcanon BUT THEN!!!!! I got a quite angsty idea that I just can’t shake off of my mind so 🫠Alright! You go on patrol with Tommy, Joel and Maria (i mean maybe other people but I don’t really know names lol and it’s just not that important anyway) AND OF COURSE YOU GET ATTACKED it could be infected, it could be raiders, whatever! And of course you get badly hurt (this is inspired by something I saw in a show where, to escape the villain, the mc let herself fall from the first floor and got impaled on some metal thingie BUT SHE SURVIVED DONT WORRY!!) so let’s say you chose to let yourself fall, etc…which leaves you with a severe injury in the abdomen. 
Joel doesn’t waste any time rushing to you and that’s where he sees the giant pool of blood staining your clothes, the metal sticking out of you. You’re breathing heavily, sweating, all the symptoms and Joel is panicked, losing his mind, you name it. This is just too familiar, too much of a déjà-vu and Tommy who’s there as well can’t help but feel the “shit it’s happening again, she’s going to die” 
But they have to act fast so they manage to lift you, the metal thing still in the wound (so you don’t bleed out and not like mr Joel and his knife ahem) and they take you back to Jackson. Joel is carrying you, trying to keep you awake and just…not have you die in his arms. Thankfully you weren’t that far away so you manage to go back rapidly but when you reach the town, you’re in a pitiful state—white as a sheet, shallow breathing, delirious, etc...— and you're quickly sent to the town hospital
Joel absolutely REFUSES to leave your side, probably gets into a fight with the doctor to be allowed in because he can't bear being away from you now.
The doctor quickly realize that oh oh they don't have any anesthesia and they're going to have to take off the metal spear + sew you back without putting you asleep and if you don't die from the hemorrhage, you might just end up dying from the pain.
They explain the situation to Joel who again, is this close to just fuck these doctors up but he doesn't have a choice: either they operate without anesthesia or they let you bleed to death. 
Ellie arrives as well because word in Jackson travels fast and she's aware of what happened, Tommy stays with her outside, explaining to her the situation. That's when Ellie hears your wretched screams piercing through the small building.
Inside the "operating room", the doctors are trying to keep you from moving as they get the metal out of you and if Joel's heart hadn't broken already, it sure as hell is breaking now as you're begging him to make the pain stop. He's holding you, keeping your shoulders fixed on the table and trying to soothe you and he does the heartbreaking "I know, I know, baby, I know" but truth is, he's completely powerless and it's killing him. One of the scariest, most tragic moment of his life is happening all over and just like the first time, he can't do anything but try and calm you down and tell you to not leave him. His tears fall on your contorted face and if he could he would just take that pain all for him, take all the pain just to stop your screams. 
Finally, the doctors manage to find some sleeping pills or something to soothe you and help you rest. They assure Joel that you're stable and you should be okay and Joel can feel the tiniest bit of the weight lift from his shoulders. 
Seeing the doctors left, Ellie understands it's over and she goes inside to find Joel sitting at your side. His clothes are drenched with blood—your blood— but when he sees Ellie, he hugs her. She doesn't care about the blood staining her own clothes, she accepts the embrace and squeezes Joel tight. 
There is this sort of...mutual understanding between them. Joel can't just crumble because he needs to be there for Ellie so he tries to show a brave face. And in the same way, Ellie knows what Joel has lost so she tries to be here for him.

I was about to send out a searching crew for you. Missed ya!!!! 🥺
No stop it this is absolutely mental. Love you need to start writing if you ain't doing that already because dang!!!!!! 😭😫🥲

Now that I'm all caught up with Doctor Who, here is an update on my (extremely long) Doctor Who Theory Masterpost I made last week !! As I am writing this, there are mere minutes to go before the premiere of the series finale, though I won't be seeing it until it's on BBC in 19 hours lol so hopefully no spoilers !!
So I'm still a firm believer that the *Colour* *Weekday* (or vice versa) or just *Shade of Red* naming convention for several characters was intentional, even if it's just a red herring. If you don't know what I mean, here are some examples
Ruby Sunday
Mundi Flynn (Monday Red) in episode 3
Marti Bridges (Tuesday Red) (Also a direct reference to Mars, ie. Pyramids of Mars, Sutekh, Osirans, etc.) in episode 4
Cooper Mercy (Red Wednesday) in episode 5
Rogue (anagram of Rouge = Red) in episode 6
Poppy in episode 1
Rose in episode 7
Cherry Sunday
While I still think that these names and their associations with ancient deities add to the theme of ‘The Pantheon' and all-powerful beings, and that this kind of repetitive naming convention is reminiscent of a dream-like logic or storytelling convention centred around Ruby, which could play into everyone’s TV show/fairytale/dream theories, I now also think with hindsight that the Red aspect of the names could just be a sneaky reference to Mars as the Red Planet and its associations with Sutekh.
I mentioned how due to her surname, Ruby would be aligned with the Roman God Sol Invictus, but now knowing that we're working with Egyptian mythology, it's more likely that she is aligned with the sun god Ra or the god of the sky, sun, and light, Horus. While both are plausible, my bets are on the latter for a few main reasons.
Horus' was the child of Isis, the goddess of love, magic, fertility, and healing, and the god Osiris, who was killed by Seth (Sutekh), the god of death and darkness, and then resurrected by Isis to conceive Horus. While pregnant with Horus, Isis fled to the marshes of the Nile Delta where she hid her child from Seth because she knew he wanted to kill him to maintain his place on the throne. Horus' birth is commonly accepted to have occurred on the 25th of December. Is this story starting to sound familiar? Could baby Ruby have been left in that snowy churchyard in the early hours of Christmas day because her mother was trying to hide her away amongst humanity and protect her from Sutekh?
In Pyramids of Mars, it is Horus, Sutekh's brother, who attempts to put a stop to Sutekh's evil plan with the Eye of Horus, could this also be related to the object that the Doctor and Ruby have to obtain from the nameless planet?
While Sutekh is the god of death and darkness, Horus is the god of light. Could Ruby be a messiah-like figure created in direct opposition to Sutekh with the sole purpose of destroying him when the time comes?
Isis is commonly associated with the Egyptian FLOOD myth which tells that when Osiris was killed, the Nile spilled over with the tears of Isis's grief. Now, we are aware that Mrs Flood is a widow, that she's always hiding herself away and that she is aware of Sutekh and his power... Could she be Isis in disguise secretly watching over her own child, waiting for the moment they can come together to try to defeat him?
One reason I think these theories are unlikely is that after being revealed as a god or at least some kind of god-human hybrid, I don't think it's likely that Ruby would continue to travel with the doctor, as she is speculated to do in series 15/2. but who knows! that sure would make things interesting.
In regards to the Trickster theory, I was Delighted to even get a trickster as ‘the god of traps’ mention last episode, but with all the talk about traps in UNIT HQ and the references I mentioned in my previous post, I wouldn’t be surprised if he does make a little cameo in this episode, or if he returns in S15/2. Also still not letting go of the Trickster being trapped in the ocean x ‘The War between the Land and the Sea’ x Mrs FLOOD theories idc idc. 
Okay finally here’s some more quickfire bananas theories I’m throwing at the red string board
Susan cameo 
Ruby has a perception filter that conceals either her true form or something that has attached itself to her but it cuts out at 73 Yards and that’s why everyone ran from her
The Doctor uses Rogue’s ring in defeating Sutekh
Mrs Flood (Mrs F) is Susan
Jenny is Ruby’s mother/Ruby is Susan’s mother/Kate is Ruby’s mother/Ruby is her own mother (i really dont wanna believe this one cause its boring)
Mrs Flood is connected to The Flood from The Waters of Mars
Rogue is Horus - ship shaped like a falcon
Finishing this with seven hours to go until I see the finale!! Still haven’t seen any spoilers but from the official teasers I saw and the fact that the episode is only 50 minutes, I highly doubt anything this lore-heavy could happen lol. thank u for reading and indulging me doctor who besties <3 see u on the other side

Victoria - 4 years on
Tumblr media
Today (May 12) marks the fourth anniversary of the first UK broadcast of the 3rd season (and possibly series) finale of Jenna Coleman’s Victoria in 2019. It’s amazing it’s been so long!
Of course Jenna has gone on to other work. As the season was finishing up on ITV, she was co-starring in a West End revival of All My Sons. A few months later she’d be in Thailand shooting The Serpent. Then of course C19 arrived (hard to believe, less than a year after Victoria aired!), and after a pause Jenna ended up in The Sandman, Klokkenluider, and other projects.
Is Victoria finished? Wikipedia’s page has it as cancelled, citing a statement by ITV dated from 2021 that there were no plans for a 4th season. I recall one article saying further production was unlikely due to C19 (which would technically put Victoria in the same company as GLOW and a few other series ended due to the pandemic, even though most other shows continued production). Daisy Goodwin, the show’s producer and writer, posted on Instagram sometime in 2019 that she’d written scripts for Series 4. And, of course, Series 3 (spoiler alert) ended on a cliffhanger.
There’s still hope that the show might return, perhaps as a one-off special. Yes, Jenna and Tom Hughes are no longer a couple - but there’s certainly precedent for exes to continue working together in TV and film, so that’s not necessarily a barrier. There’s certainly no time limit involved - Jenna could return to the role later in life quite easily (much as Judi Dench has done); in real life, Albert didn’t die for real until a decade or so after the events covered in Series 3.
But the fact remains Jenna has moved on. Maybe not into something ongoing (even Sandman S2 might only entail another one-off story, she won’t in in every episode, and The War Rooms is looking to be the TV equivalent of vaporware), but being tied to a TV series might have prevented her from taking on things like Jackdaw or the Lemons play - or whatever she might be doing next. She probably has no burning need or desire to return to Victoria (maybe not to the same degree she appears to be disinterested in reprising Clara Oswald), other than maybe the fact the series leaves viewers hanging so it’ll always remain a bit of “unfinished business” in that regard.
Her co-stars have also moved on. Nell Hudson is now a novelist; Margaret Clunie has been doing mostly independent films; Tom has been in several TV series and movies over the last couple of years.
But what we did get were 3 seasons (plus a Christmas special) of surprisingly light-hearted romantic drama, Vicbourne, Vicbert (I forgot the ship name), Jenna in nearly every scene, plus some great co-stars including Margaret and Nell, Rufus Sewell, and of course fellow Doctor Who-franchise veterans Tommy Knight and Eve Myles and, lest we forget, Diana Rigg also popped in for a visit when she wasn’t poisoning Joffrey Baratheon! LOL! I miss the show but am thankful we got what we got!
