Rereading all for the game except it’s Quotes Time

I’ll add them as i go

it’s about second chances, Neil. Second, third, fourth, whatever, as long as you get at least one more than what anyone else wanted to give you. -Wymack, TFC, pg. 13

I see you (Part 2)

Namor x Atlantean/Human Reader

Plot: You accept the stranger's offer and experience the depths of power that you never had before.

A/N: Back by popular demand! Thankfully I had the brain cells to write this. This is part 2 of <I see you> but I think it could be read stand-alone as well! Again, hope you enjoy it and really appreciate the feedback! Use of Y/N.

Genre: PG-13 (Mentions of blood, violence)

"Will you join me?"

With each step you took, you relished in the scent of the dead bodies littered around the Conservatory of Posideonsis. You find yourself lingering in front of the mural that depicted the heroics of Atlantis' hero. You could gag.

Raising a hilt, you send a blast into the wall, shattering the intricate art into nothing but rubble. A hand is on your shoulder, grounding you back to the present.

"Have you got the vibranium?"

"My people have secured it, thanks to you." Namor gives a fleeting glance around the Conservatory and takes in your tense posture. Never make a woman angry.

A groan could be heard nearby under the collapsed pillar. A body moves.

"Is this how you betray your King?" The scientist coughs out weakly. You gave him a scathing glare, bending down to his eye level.

"Arthur Curry is not my king."

The water construct on your hilt takes the shape of a sword, making clean work of the scientist. Blood splatters diagonally on your face and suddenly you look almost feral to Namor. He can't help but swell with pride at your following words.

"I have a new king."

You don't bother to clean the blood on your weapon, for they serve as a reminder of your liberation. Your salvation. As if the dead could still feel, you pry the weapon from his hand.

"I'm sorry it had to turn out this way Vulko, my comrade. But if Arthur Curry continues to side with the surface world, Atlantis will pay for it in blood."

You leave what was your past behind, swimming together in silence with Namor to the royal chambers.

"You do not mourn?"

"They had their chance and wasted my sympathy." You spat. "You have shown me a greater purpose, my king."

"Stop!"

A group of Atlantean guards intercepts the two of you, spears meant to force one backward.

"Put down your weapons intruder!"

Even now, Atlantis scorned you for your mixed heritage and was eager to blame you.

Blocking you from their vision, Namor shoots his own spear with ease, piercing through the armor of the mighty Atlantean army. Blood floating in the water, he removes his weapon.

"Our fight is in there." He points to the oak doors that led to the chambers. "I would hate to see you get hurt before we even start." Without another word, he leaves you trailing behind feeling rather perplexed.

You can't seem to bring yourself to open those doors. Wordlessly holding your hand in his, he pushes through the broken defense, refusing to cower under the presence of the two Aquaman standing tall and mighty.

"Y/N of Shayeris, you must understand that you are committing high treason. I urge you to stand down and we can resolve this peacefully with you and Talokan."

Your blood boils at the Leaguer’s patronizing words. Namor steps back, waiting to watch the verbal sparring match with much interest.

You can hold your own fort.

In Mourning

Namor x Reader

Plot: An unexpected encounter. A strong will to protect each other. A desire to seek vengeance for your death.

Genre: PG-13 (Angst - plot already says it all)

A/N: The number of times I wrote and re-wrote this? This a short piece but feedback is always appreciated! I'm sorry for the angst in advance.😅 Italics is flashbacks!

The steady trickle of water fills the silence in his chambers. A cup of tea sits on the dressing table. Steam rising, he takes a gentle blow before putting his lips on its edge.

3 years ago, the Baltic Ocean

"K'uk'ulkan. A stranger roams our waters, should we not stop them?"

Namor is curious. Which human would dare to be lost in such a wide ocean? He travels out into the waters and he comes to a stop at the sight of a floating figure.

"Take them back!" He demands the Talokan warriors.

Days passed and the stranger finally woke. Blinking her eyes blearily, she almost falls out of bed at the sight of his people. Namor excuses his people and he sits at the edge of the bed where she watches him warily.

"Am I... in Talokan?"

There was no hiding from this intelligent woman. So he guides her around. For someone from the surface world, you were so courageous and unafraid.

To return the kindness of the King and his people, you tell him your purpose. You are a scientist from the surface world, fighting to protect and conserve the natural environment.

But with recent events and more metahumans coming out in the open, governments around the world had strong reason to believe that there was an underwater civilization. You wanted to do something, so you had to find it first.

"As you have saved me, it is only right that I do something in return for you and your people. You have my word."

All he wants to do is to fall into a deep slumber. It seems that everyone, everything is against him tonight as the soothing music of nature has now turned into a discordant mess.

It went all so terribly wrong.

He is no longer in the present. He is now in the thick of it. He sees her fighting but it was a stark reminder of how human she was compared to him.

6 months ago, the Atlantic Sea

"This weapon isn't a usual fishing trap." You navigate your way around the ocean floor. "Someone probably set this piece of contraption up in hopes of a big catch." You frown at the thought of government operatives carrying out secret operations to uncover hidden civilizations like Talokan for their own gain.

"I can take it back to the lab, examine it and find out who's responsible for this. "You see the concern etched on his face.

"I won't out you or your people. I promise."

"I'm not worried about that, it is these surface dwellers that you speak of," Namor tells you. "They do not seem to be ordinary. I've seen them up close. They have evil intentions."

"I can take care of myself." You swim to him in your suit. "And if your people are hurt, I won't stand for it. If someone is out to expose Talokan, they need to be stopped."

Just then, a slight tremor could be felt. Sea life swimming away, you shared a look of concern with the King. He is about to ascend to the surface but you put a hand against his chest. You shake your head.

"It's a trap."

"I cannot let you go out there alone."

You cut the weapon loose from the ocean floor, passing it to him. "This is all the proof that you need."

He watches you helplessly as you swim upwards. He sees you putting your hands up in surrender. Words are exchanged between you and the army. Then-

Close Contact

Frank Castle x Reader

A/N: Frank and Reader are partners in this! An interesting take in Bed sharing AU? Hope y’all will like it and feedback is always appreciated!

Genre: PG-13, Fluff and Angst.

Notes: Happy 1.2k followers @wint3r-h3art! Been truly blessed to have known you and thank you for the challenge!

2300hrs,

‘Frank, slow down. My leg can’t keep up.’ You tell him for what you believe to be the umpteenth time.

Your partner merely grunts but he makes an effort to minimize his strides. You’re not an idiot. You know he’s pissed off. Perhaps if you were in his shoes, you would be too.

For months, the two of you were chasing every lead on the notorious Kingpin, pulling all stops to even get a whiff of his trace.

Finally, Frank had tracked him down to Macau with rumors of a booming drug trade that involved very dubious clientele.

Everything was going well. Too well.

Firefight happening in split seconds, you raced to rescue a young woman who was about to be caught in the rain of bullets being exchanged.

Pushing her out of the way, you lose sight of the enemy. That’s how you earned two bullets - one in your leg and one at your side.

Breathing heavily, you focus all your energy to stay conscious. It definitely helped to push the unpleasant emotions you had, even if it was just temporary.

Reaching the motel, Frank sets you down gently at the side of the staircase, gruffly instructing you to stay put while he gets a room.

Leaving you under the flickering lights, your mind is allowed to run freely, wondering what went wrong. You knew you were good at your job, so why did it feel like you were a nuisance?

As the rain starts to fall, so do your tears. You were sick of being at the receiving end of such injustice. Impulsiveness overtaking you, you push yourself up, hobbling away from the motel. No way you were going to be under the radar of Frank’s silent glares.

The neon lights from the signboard are about to blind your vision. It probably doesn’t matter as you walk aimlessly, with no destination in sight.

You don’t know how long you have been away from home carrying out multiple back to back missions. All you knew is that you were starting to become very tired.

Texas. Cuba. India. Vietnam. Macau.

You didn’t know it was possible to be ignored across continents.

Caught up in your thoughts, you fail to see an oncoming light from a car. Before you can react, a rough hand grabs you by the wrist, pulling you towards them.

Frank.

‘I told you to wait for me right? Why don’t you ever listen?’

That broke something in you. Pushing him away with your free hand, you gave him a hard stare.

‘Leave me alone Castle. Since that’s what you always do.’ Turning away, you attempt to continue walking but without much success.

A sharp pain attacks your side, throwing you off balance. The street starts to dissolve and the artificial lights fade into darkness.

The last thing you hear is Frank calling out for your name.

***

Regaining consciousness, the dull pain brings you back to your senses.

My #1 post of 2022

I see you

Namor x Atlantean/Human Reader

Plot: You struggle to be heard from the worlds that you call home. A stranger comes to change that with a tempting proposition.

Genre: PG-13, (One use of Y/N)

A/N: No spoilers here but I came out absolutely loving this man!Please give feedback as it's appreciated greatly!

Stepping out of the building, you take a deep sigh.

Once again, you weren't taken seriously. You knew that you were different - an individual unable to fully identify with one place, or maybe because you were surrounded by a group of people who were only concerned about short-term economic gains. Whatever it was, you were thoroughly humiliated.

Screaming in frustration, you chucked your research into a bin.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

"Oh god!" You jumped a few steps backward, frantically looking for the source. Taking out your hilts from your pockets, you quickly activate the water bearers - a gift from your homeland to protect you on land.

"Show yourself! I'm not going to say it again!"

The figure steps out into the dark, hands raised at chest level as if to reassure you that they weren't a threat.

"I don't understand why you would waste your energy and time on egoistic surface dwellers who only seek to benefit themselves." The mystery man has a piercing gaze. You only gripped your weapons tighter. If anything, Atlantis has taught you to fear no one.

"Who are you and what's your purpose."

The man almost seems amused at your defensiveness. "I see you are a woman that skips the pleasantries. Then again, I expected as much."

You advanced a step forward, wordlessly demanding for him to speak.

"My people call me K'uk'ulkan," he trails off, "but my enemies call me Namor." He has now stepped into your vision, the soft lights from the street lamp illuminating his sharp features. He moves a step forward.

"Don't move! Or I'll fry your brains, I swear on it!"

He chuckles, coming to a stop. "I don't doubt that Atlantean."

"How? You were just a-"

"Myth? I can assure you that my people and I are very real. And very threatened by the surface world. So I'll make my point. But I would appreciate it if you lower your weapon."

Deactivating your bearers, he takes this as a sign to speak.

"Ever since Wakanda came out to the rest of the world, Talokan is at risk from surface dweller activity."

You wince, knowing all too well where this was going.

"They refuse to answer for their actions, even when my people are sick, ill, and on the verge of dying!"

"You have Atlantis'- my word that we will work to come to an agreement." Even then, you no longer trusted the words that came out of your own mouth.

"An agreement will not suffice. It will no longer solve what they have done to us." Namor sneers. He sees your resolve weaken for a second and pounces on it.

"Chief scientist of Atlantis. What have your people done for you?"

"You don't get to say that."

Ignoring your weak threat, he continues. "King Orin of Posideonis. How is he to be a beacon of hope when his mind is split between the two worlds! How ignored you must have felt when you tried to warn him of the atrocities of the surface. You thought you could find comfort in someone so similar to you. What good is it if you can't execute the power that you were meant to hold?"

Doen afr. Don my gee lt. Lt. Impa, ek sal leer

. Van die Latynse facĕre, fuomo faerĕ fanna, famma waaruit reeds in die afd. VI lei die gekontrakteerde vorm doen af ​​na analogie van gee. Baie gebruik in D., dit dek byna al die semantiese gebied wat die woord in die moderne taal oorheers. In D., en in antieke Italiaans in die algemeen, is die perifrastiese gebruike van f egter baie meer gereeld, nie net deur grammatikale redes gemotiveer nie, maar ook deur 'n "neiging van die mentaliteit van daardie tydperk om idees eerder as aksies uit te lig" (Corti). Die teenwoordigheid van F. in D. se werk beloop hulle 2061: Ryp 130; twyfelagtige rympies 38; Nuwe lewe 138; Convivium 396; Hel 332; Vagevuur 319; Paradys 348; Blom 330; Gesê 30. Wat die vorme betref, speel D. op die afwisseling van argaïese of literêre tradisievorme met ander, natuurlik vir die Florentyne van sy tyd. Faccio (facciovi) seëvier bo fo, analoog van 'do', 'sto', wat nooit in die Komedie verskyn nie, terwyl dit algemeen voorkom in die Fiore. Foe is slegs in Vn XXIII 31 en XXXI 5. Fai (fa') is die mees gebruikte vorm; faci, van liries-Siciliaanse invloed, is slegs in If X 16 en XIV 135, en in rym. Fa (fassene, fassi) is die vorm wat tans gebruik word; gesig, "Sicilianisme meer as Latinisme" (Contini), is skaars, en meestal in rym. Die epitetiese vorms fae (Vn XXI 6, XXVIII 2, Cv II V 15), fane (Rime CXVI 34) is geïsoleer. Kom ons doen dit is slegs in Cv IV XXII 3, terwyl D. elders tare, farem, skaars gebruik. Die lot is die enigste vorm van die II meervoud, en slegs een facen (Pd IX 78), teruggestuur deur Petrocchi, is teen die voortdurende gebruik van kos (fannomi), fan (fansi).

Facea, wat slegs in die Komedie voorkom, en facei (Pd XIX 69) is die enigste vorme van die I en II enkelsnit. van die onvolmaakte; facea (faceasi), en facia, in Siciliaanse rym (Vn XXXIV 8 4), seëvier bo fa, skaars in die Komedie, en elders slegs in Fiore XXVIII 4. Faceano, facean kom meer gereeld voor as fatti, fain, altyd in die Komedie. Die vorms, van Siciliaanse oorsprong, is skaars, facien, slegs in die Komedie, facien (Rime Dubite VII 13, Fiore CCXIV 5), en faciensi (Pd XVIII 77).

Feci (fec'io, fecimi) kom meer gereeld voor as fei (fe', fe'mi, femmi), wat slegs van die Komedie is, en bowenal in rym voorkom. Facesti is die enigste vorm wat aan Dante bekend is. Gesig heers duidelik bo fé in die Convivio en in die Fiore, en het 'n minder konsekwente meerderheid in die Rime en in die Vita Nuova; ontlasting (feceli, fecemi, fecesi) wissel met gelyke frekwensie af met fé (felli, femmi, fessi: 92: 89). Fée is slegs in Bl XXXII 12; féo, "bekend nie net deur lirieke digters nie, maar ook deur prosa" (Parodi), is slegs in die Komedie op rym. Féne slegs in If XVIII 87. Femmo, gebruik in If XVII 32, word afgewissel met did (If XXVI 125, XXXI 82). Faceste is slegs in Vn XXXVII 6 1. Die ouer vorme fatto en fecer word in al D. se werke verkies behalwe in die Commedia, waarin die gekontrakteerde vorme fero, fer (ferci, fersi) bo fatto, fecer (gemaak) seëvier. Fenno, met 'n Pisan-Lucca-einde, maar stewig verwerf in die literêre taal, asook in Rime CIV 55 en Cv II XI 2, verskyn tien keer in die Commedia, en slegs in twee gevalle buite rym (If XVI 21, Pg III 93). Fensi is slegs in rym (Bl X 63, Pd VII 148).

Ek sal doen (faròl, farotti), farai, fa, faremo, farem, farete, fare, faran is die enigste vorme van die toekoms wat deur D. gebruik word; die epentetiese vorm faroe is slegs in Fiore CCXXX 2. Farei (fare', farëi) word slegs in kleiner werke gebruik; faresti kom voor in Pd XXI 5, Fiore XIV 3. Farebbe wissel af met faria, wat van die liries-Siciliaanse tradisie is: die twee vorme is ekwivalent in die Convivio en in die Fiore, in die Rime kom slegs faria voor. In die Commedia het ons farebbe in Pg XXIV 9, Pd VIII 134, en faria in Pd VII 18. Farebbe is slegs in die Convivio en in die Vita Nuova; in die poësie het ons farieno (Bl XII 66) en farian (Fiore CLXIX 5).

Die einde in -e van die II enkelvoud. van die konj. pres. dit word slegs in Fiore (LIII 7, LXVII 2) aangetref, maar in die Commedia (en ook in Fiore CXXVII 6) word dit slegs facci aangetref. Doen ons vir die III enkelsnit. dit word slegs in Rime LXXXVIII 6 aangetref, terwyl dit elders altyd gesig is. In die meervoud is hulle opgeteken fare, farem, fasades (slegs in Rime LVI 24), fareno, faren (gesig daarvoor). Solo in Fiore LXXXV 7 facer.

Fessi (ek sing. vir " facessi ") is slegs in If XXXIII 59; facessi (II pers.) in Fiore CXLV 9. By die III enkelsnit. van die onvolmaakte konjunktief word dit algemeen gebruik facesse (fesse is slegs in die Commedia). Van die meervoudsvorme word facesser geïsoleerd aangetref (Pd II 67).

Fa' word opgeteken in die imperatief, dikwels met die toevoeging van 'n enklitiese voornaamwoord (falla, fallle, fagli, fagliele, fammi, fammiti, fatti, en slegs in Rime LXVIII 49 falmi), lot (fatene, Bl V 30; faitevi, Cv IV XI 12).

Die gerund kom byna altyd met 'n dubbele Toskaans voor: doen, self maak; volledig slaag. die vorme fatto, -a, -i, -e, en met apocope fatt'io, fatt'eran moet aangeteken word. Die infinitief fare, far, het 'n lang reeks enklitiese formasies: fare, farli, farle, farmi, farmisi, farti, farvi, far, farne.

In D. se werk kan die volgende betekenisse van die werkwoord onderskei word:

1. " Vervul, voer uit, bring tot 'n einde iets ": Cv I IV 5 alles wat hulle soos kinders doen; Pd XXII 9 en weet julle nie dat die hemel geheel en al heilig is nie, / en wat daar gedoen word, kom uit goeie ywer?; Fiore CCXXV 3 wil egter regtig vir elkeen wys wat sy weet hoe om te doen. Sien ook: Vn XXVIII 2, XXXIV 4, Rime Dubite XVII 5; Cv I V 11 (twee keer), VI 3, VII 6 en 9, II Voi che 'ntendendo 52, X 2 (as 'n aanvulling op die kritiese uitgawe van 'n leemte in die teks) en 5, III VIII 7 en 11, IX 3, IV IV 2, XI 14 (twee keer en XXII, XXII, XXII, XXII, XXII, XXII, XXII, XXII, XXII, XXII, XXII, XXII, XXII, XXII, XXII, XXII, XXII, 7 en 11) XXVII 15, XXVIII 1 en 2; Indien XIII 85, XXVIII 107, Bl III 82 (twee keer), V 77, XIV 78, XIV 53, XIX 115, XX 82 en 85, Pd IV 102, XVII 50; Blom XLIX 14, LXXII 2, CXCIX 9; Gesê 425. Sinspeel op seksuele aksie in Fiore LXIV 14

Dit word dikwels gekontrasteer, selfs onoorganklik, met ander werkwoorde: 'n ‛ sê': Bl V 61 sê jy, en ek sal vir daardie vrede doen, ensovoorts Rime XCI 35, Vn XXIII 30, Bl XI 32, XVII 30, Pd XII 44; a ‛ vra': As XXIV 77 " Nog 'n antwoord", het hy gesê: "Ek sal jou nie teruggee / as ek dit nie doen nie...", en Pd XVII 74; a ‛ moenie': Cv III IV 6 slegs in die dinge wat in sy vermoë is om te doen of nie te doen nie; a 'ly': Bl XXV 47 een wat gewillig is om te ly en die ander om te doen; a ‛ dink ': Cv IV IX 5 bewerkings is dat sy [rede] in materie buite haarself oorweeg en doen, en so drie ander gevalle in dieselfde gedeelte uit die Convivio; aan bewind: Cv III I 9 as meer kon, meer sou ek doen.

In die besonder "om te vorm, om 'n ding in sy wese te konstitueer": Cv II V 6 en hierdie drie ordes maak die eerste hiërargie uit; Pd V 41 en stop daar binne; ché non fa scienza, / sonder om dit aan te hou, verstaan. Dus Cv II V 6 (twee keer benewens die reeds aangehaalde gedeelte), III XI 5, IV VI 3, XXIX 10 (twee keer). Ook in 'n fisiese sin, van riviere gepraat: As XIV 116 Acheron, Styx en Phlegetonta maak; XIV 119, XXX 66, Pd I 81; of astronomiese verskynsels: Pd II 67 As dit selde en gereeld voorkom, het dit soveel gedoen, en 60.

2. Dui handeling in die algemeen aan, en synde die werkwoord by uitstek kan dit enige werkwoordvorm vervang wat voorafgaan of, meer selde (slegs in D. As V 96, VII 22, Bl XXIII 2 e 16, XXVI 13) volg (‛ f. vicario '). Hierdie funksie kom gereeld voor, veral in die poësie, in modale proposisies, om lastige herhalings te vermy: As V 29 Io venni in loco d'ogne luce muto / che mughia come fa mar per tempest; Bl VIII 81 Die adder wat Melanesi opslaan, sal nie so 'n mooi begrafnis maak / as wat die haan van Gallura sou gedoen het nie. Sien dus Rime CI 33, CXIV 9; Vn XXIII 10, XXXVII 2; Cv I X 10, II IX 7, XII 4, III IX 14, XII 3, IV I 3, XXVI 14, XXVIII 5; Indien XII 25, XIV 58, XVI 22, XVII 49, XXI 135, XXII 105, XXV 141, XXX 56, XXXIII 130, XXXIV 31, Bl IV 131, IX 42, XI 12, XII 82, XXII, XXII, XXV, XXV, XXV, XXV, XXV , XXIII 2, XXIV 9 en 135, XX VI 70, XXVII 45, XXXIII 120, Pd II 17, III 94, IX 96, XI 51, XIII 14, XV 3, XVIII 38, XXVIII 11, XXX 85; Blom LI 10, C 5, CCXXXI 3.

Wanneer die f. ‛ predikant ' het 'n komplement, dit word gewoonlik gevind "in daardie geval sal dit gepas wees vir die vervangde werkwoord" (Vidossich). In D. word die komplement dikwels in 'n direkte geval aangetref: As XXV 132 li orecchie reti per la testa / come face le corna la lumaccia; Vn XXXI 10 19, If XI 104, XVIII 13, XXXII 132, Bl XXX 5, Pd XXII 56, XXIII 30, Fiore LXXII 14. Die komplement kan egter ook in skuinsgevalle voorkom: Pd IX 96 di me s'iofee, C luiii, C luiii, C, Luii,,,,,,,,,,,,, fe, che ne la mente 38 (weergegee in XIV 3), As XV 21, XXIII 8, XXXIV 31, Bl XI 12, XIII 72, XVII 58, Pd XI 51, XV 3, XVIII 38, Fiore LI 10. Ten slotte, soms word die verhouding met 'n preposisie slegs of soms 'n persoon met 'n ‛ uitgedruk. ': Bl XXIV 35 Ma come fa chi guarda e poi s'apprezza / più d' iets anders wat ek aan dié van Lucca gedoen het; Pd XVI 84 En soos die draai van die lug van die maan / rusies sonder pouse bedek en ontbloot, / so doen Fortuna van Florence. Sien dus If IX 116, Bl XIV 27, XX 81. F. ‛ vicar ' kan ook in 'n selfstandige bepaling gevind word, maar deur 'n modale bywoord gekoppel aan die een waarin die gesubstitueerde werkwoord gelees word: Vn XX 5 e tanto dura talora in costui, / che fawakar lo Spirito d'Amore. / E soortgelyke gesig in vrou omo valent; As XII 82 Is jy bewus / dat die een agter dit wat hy raak beweeg? / So maak hulle gewoonlik nie die voete van die dooies nie. Sien ook Rime LXXX 19, Vn XX 8, Cv IV XXVIII 5, Pg XXVI 124, Pd IV 80, XVI 112, Fiore XXVIII 4, CLXX 12, CCII 10, CCXIX 2.

The spotlighted dragons for Rainbow week are from pages 1, 8 and 92. Assuming staff picks manually, it really feels like they looked through the first 10 pages, got bored, and clicked on a page near the end so it didn't look completely biased. Wish they'd just use a RNG tool for picking that's split into bins of pg 1 - 33, 34 - 66, and 69 - 100. It's an ongoing issue and it makes participating in share week if you don't get in within the first ~10-15 pages really disheartening.

'A L I V E' is a fan comic based on the videogame 'Undertale' by Toby Fox and inspired by the AU Community. Please, play the game before reading it, because there are a lot of spoilers and you wouldn’t understand most of it (you’ll enjoy the game, it’s AWESOME).

There’s no profit intention in this, just having fun with a game that I like and an incredibly creative community. This story is obviously FICTION. All characters are FICTIONAL, they do NOT exist in real life in any way.

Sometimes the comic is interrupted by the ASK section, but it’s part of the story so it’s recommended to read them, the order is listed below.

You can find the comics and everything under the cut!

Thank you for reading!! ♥

Warning: This comic is SFW (PG-13 for violence), but sometimes there's angst, so when things are hard I use the tag #ANGST just in case someone is more sensitive and wanted to mute the tag. There's also blood and swearing (sometimes I’ll use the tags #BLOOD and even #NSFW when things are really bloody), but mostly it’s just idiots having fun and learning about friendship.

Noting Cassian’s perspective on Nesta/others when they arise-every instance in acosf

This is more thorough... than that small post. I’ll never do this again, and you can thank the ritalin for this one. Let’s see what to make of it at the end of the day. Is Cassian a simp or does he simp more for others? Time to find out. 

Chapter 1: Cassian’s POV pg 7-12 (5 pages, chapter is 18 pages).

“She looked like hell.” (8) 

“She hadn’t looked this bad.” (9) 

“Her beautiful face was pale, far thinner than it had been before the war with Hybern, her lips bloodless, and those eyes... Cold and sharp, like a winter morning in the mountains.” (9).

“Nesta cocked her head... on her, it was the warning of a predator, sizing up prey.” (10). 

“... long bare legs, an elegant sweep of hips, tapered waist--too damn thin—and full, inviting breasts that were at odds with the new sharp angles of her body.” (10).  

“‘You look like you could use a few big meals, a bath, and some real clothes.’” (11).  

“And now that she was high fae, all inherent dominance and aggression--and piss poor attitude--he avoided her as much as possible.” (11).  

“Cassian knew better than to make himself vulnerable to another predator.” (12).  

Chapter 2: Cassian’s POV 25-31 to the end of 36 (7 pages of 12)  (Total: 12/30-not including prologue)

“Cassian had no doubt Feyre could defend herself against an opponent, even if Nesta launched that terrible power of hers. And he hated that he didn’t know if Nesta would sink low enough to do it. That things had become so bad that he even considered the possibility.” (26).  

“The eldest of the Archeron sisters had a talent for getting under everyone’s skin.” (26).  

“He’s never stop being grateful for it: for the High Lady mere feet from him, who had saved them all from Amarantha’s rule...” (27).    

Chapter 3: Cassian’s POV 37-45 to the end of 51 (9 pages of 15) (Total: 21/45)

“Cassian’s High Lady had a way of capturing the world that always made him pause.” (38).  

“’You need to get out in the practice right more, brother,’ Cassian told him, surveying his friend’s powerful body.” (41) --I had to include this because I think it’s hilarious for Cassian to note. I’m telling you; he has a thing for Rhys.  

“Mor’s waist-length gold hair smelled of cold seas... Cassian pulled away to scan her beautiful face, as familiar to him as his own.” (44).  

Chapter 4: Cassian’s POV 52-58 and 60-62. Ends at 62 (10 pages of 11) (Total: 31/56)

About Mor: “...smiling to himself at the sight of her: head tipped toward the sun, unbound hair gleaming and rippling around her like liquid gold, her full lips curled upward, basking in the light.” (52).

“Mor grinned, so beautiful it took his breath away.” (53).

“He again let himself admire her perfect face.” (54).

“... Cassian had quelled any further desire for Mor. Had let lust turn into affection, and all romantic feelings turn into familial bonds. But he could still admire her sheer beauty—as he’d admire any work of art. Even though he knew well that what lay inside Mor was far more lovely and perfect than her exterior.” (54).  

“Mor opened an eye, then slowly sat forward, hair falling around her like a rippling golden river.” (56).  

About Jurian: “Cassian still didn’t like the man.” (57).

Chapter 5: Cassian’s POV 67-70 ends at 73 (3 pages of 11) (Total: 34/67)

“Those pants were going to kill him.” (67).  

Those pants: “Brutally, thoroughly kill him.” (67).  

“Every word, every language he knew had vanished at the sight of her striding past, straight-backed and unhurried as any noble lady presiding over her household... How it made every thought beyond the most primal eddy out of his mind.” (67).  

“...Without descending into thoughts of peeling those pants off of her and worshipping every inch of that spectacular backside.” --they can say cock/cunt/fuck in this book but not ass. Smh.  

“Nesta emerged, her braided hair now coiled across the crown of her head like a woven tiara. He made a point not to look beneath her neck. At the body left on display. She needed to gain back the weight she’d lost, and pack on some muscle, but... those fucking leathers.” (69). AHAHSHUHASUHdsuh

Chapter 6: Cassian’s POV (0 pages of 7) (Total: 34/74)

Chapter 7: Cassian’s POV 81-94 (14 pages of 14) (Total: 48/88)

“Feyre had told him that they called themselves the Band of Exiles. Cassian snorted to himself.” (81).

“Lucien’s scarred, handsome face appeared, his golden eye whirring.” (82).  

“Eris lounged in a golden chair, legs crossed, his pale face the portrait of courtly arrogance... blinding rage at the sight of him.” (83).  

“He noted and half-dismissed the two humans in the room.” (82).  

About Vassa: “Of the three redheaded people in this room, Cassian liked her coloring the best: the golden hue of her skin, the large, up-tilted blue eyes framed by dark lashes and brows, and the silken red hair, which she’d cut to her shoulders since he’d last seen her.” (84).  

About himself: “He’d revealed too much. Like a stupid brute, he’d let them all see too much, learn too much.” (89).  

About himself: “Fool, he cursed himself. Stupid, useless fool.” (94.)  

Chapter 8: Cassian’s POV 97-100 and 102-106 (9 pages of 12) (Total: 57/100)

“When she didn’t answer, he turned to find Nesta standing in front of the hearth, arms tightly crossed, the flickering light dancing In her beautiful hair.” (106).  

Chapter 9: Cassian’s POV (0 pages of 9) (Total: 57/109)

Chapter 10: Cassian’s POV (0 pages of 7) (Total: 57/116)

Chapter 11: Cassian’s POV (3 pages of 9) (Total: 60/125)

About Feyre: “His High Lady looked so young--he always forgot how young she truly was, considering what she’d already faced and achieved in her life... At twenty-one, Feyre had saved their world, mated, and found true happiness.” (130). 

Chapter 12: Cassian’s POV 134-137 and 143-144 (6 pages of 12) (Total: 66/137)

“There was nowhere to plant that beautiful ass here.” (134). 

“She’d done well. Really damn well.” (143). 

“Nesta remained prone, limbs loose, eyes closed, the sunlight making her hair, her sweaty skin shine. He couldn’t stop the image from rising: of her lying in his bed like this, sated, her body limp with pleasure.”(143). 

“Her skin was rosy in a way he hadn’t seen for a long, long time, her eyes bright.” (143). 

Chapter 13: Cassian’s POV (0 pages of 12) (Total: 66/149)

Chapter 14: Cassian’s POV 157-158 and 161-166 (8 pages of 11) (Total: 74/160)

About Tamlin: “Bastard.” (157).

“‘He did,’ Rhys said, dark hair ruffled by a soft, sighing breeze. As if the wind loved to touch him.” (162).-- Is this not such a weird way describe Rhys? Promise Cassian’s bi. 

Chapter 15: Cassian’s POV (0 pages of 17) (Total: 74/177)

Chapter 16: Cassian’s POV (2 pages of 11) (Total: 76/188)

Nothing to note from his pov about Nesta or anyone else, mostly smut development/training. More action than thought.

“And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them.” [Surat Al-‘A`rāf, 7:180]

Nothing outweighs the name of Allah (subhaana wa ta’laa)

The Messenger of Allāh صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said:

“Allah has ninety-nine names, and whoever preserves them will enter Paradise.” [Muslim 2677]

Spread the knowledge so it will be Sadqa-e-Jaaria (everlasting charity) for you and for me… in-sha’Allah.

The Messenger of Allāh صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said: “Whoever directs someone to a good, then he will have the reward equal to the doer of the action.” [Muslim 1893]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Good news, love. There is indeed a man out there who heard your prayer.  It may not be after midnight, but I am most assuredly a man, and I’m at your disposal.”

Emma’s jaw dropped as she opened her door to see her across the street neighbor in full pirate regalia standing before her and flirting outrageously.

It took her brain a second to catch up, but when it did, she realized what he’d just said.

“Excuse me?” she asked, folding her arms and frowning ferociously.  “What, were you spying on me?  You think it’s fun to creep on a person working out in the privacy of her own home?  You are a stalker!”

He swaggered a step farther toward her, and she put out her hand to stop his progress.  “I prefer dashing rapscallion,” he purred, “scoundrel?”

The way he lowered his voice, tucking his chin and looking up at her from beneath heavily lidded eyes at that last part did things to her.  Things that were very definitely not PG rated.

That annoyed her more than anything.

“What you are is someone who needs to leave,” she said. “Now. Before I call the cops or knee you in the jewels or something.”

He looked on the point of responding, when Henry, her miniature black goldendoodle, suddenly made a flying leap through the air toward their intruder.  For a moment, the man looked taken aback, but it took less than a moment for him to realize that the only threat Henry posed to him was the threat of licking him to death.

“It would seem your dog disagrees, love.”

Emma rolled her eyes.  A watchdog Henry was not.  He’d yet to find another creature--of any species--that he didn’t immediately want to be best friends with.

The man laughed as Henry jumped around him, yipping and whining in excitement, licking any bit of skin he could find.  The pirate bent down and patted Henry affectionately as his laughter continued.

Emma wished she could say the sound of his laughter, the fact that he was obviously wonderful with animals, didn’t do anything to her.

This man was trouble.  She’d known that since the moment she’d first caught a glimpse of him through her front picture window three weeks ago.  If her disastrous history with men had taught her anything, it was that hot men were not to be trusted, and though she hated to admit it, this man was hot.  Like the-sun-feels-kind-of-lukewarm-in-comparison hot.

She’d noticed him throughout the past weeks.  How could she not?  His apartment was indecently close to her own.

Didn’t help that Henry had also noticed the guy’s golden retriever and, of course, was desperate to go play with him.

So far she’d managed to avoid actually coming into contact with her sexy-as-hell neighbor, but it looked like today her luck had finally run out.

Now that Henry had met his newest best friend, there would be no living with him if she didn’t at least let the man in for a visit.

Emma sighed again, before stepping back and sweeping her arm out in invitation (a move that surprised him, if the way his eyebrows raised was any indication).

“You got a name,” she asked, “or should I just call you annoying hot stalker guy who likes to spy on women in his spare time?”

He grinned delightely.  “Hot?”

She rolled her eyes. Of course that’s the part of her sentence he picked up on.  She crossed her arms again, and he apparently got the picture that outrageous flirtation time was over.  “Killian Jones,” he said, “but my clients at the harbor have taken to calling me by my more colorful moniker. Hook.”

He raised his left arm, and she noticed the rather realistic looking steel hook he held in his left hand.  She supposed she should be alarmed that a stranger armed with an apparently deadly weapon was currently standing in her living room, but her instincts told her that he posed no danger to her.

In fact, even more than that, her instincts told her he was trustworthy, maybe even a good guy, and though they’d never met, she had the strangest feeling that she knew the guy; that they were destined to be friends (or more).

She recalled a conversation she’d had once with her best friend Mary Margaret Nolan.  “I can’t explain it, Emma,” she’d said.  “From the moment I met David I just knew.  It was like we’d known each other forever, you know?  I don’t know if I believe in love at first sight, but I knew there was something there, something amazing from the very start.”

Emma had scoffed at the notion.  After all, Mary Margaret had always been a hopeless romantic, someone who was utterly captivated by idiotic romantic comedies that usually had Emma’s eyes rolling out of her head.  Only made sense that as soon as she met a guy she might like, she’d convinced herself she was living a romance novel of her very own.

But now...well, now Emma wasn’t so sure.  Now she was starting to wonder if Mary Margaret had a point

And she hated it.

Give him a chance! Her inner Mary Margaret said.  She should ignore the voice.  She really should.  She knew that.  Did she remember Neal? August?  Or worst of all Walsh (What even was his obsession with flying monkeys?!)?  They’d all seemed promising at first, and then...ugh, she didn’t even want to think about how colossally badly each of those relationships had ended.

So yeah, she should toss Killian Jones out on his ass, cutting this off at the pass before it even started (not there even was a “this” right now.  She’d just met the man for heaven’s sake!), but somehow she couldn’t.  Somehow her desire to get to know him was stronger than her sense of self-preservation.

Damn Mary Margaret and her stupidly contagious hope.  

“Emma Swan,” she finally responded, realizing to her chagrin (and to his delight, apparently, gauging by his stupid grin) that she’d been simply staring at him for an absurdly long time. “And that flying mop that is currently trying to drown you with kisses is Henry.”

He laughed, bending down again to caress her dog.  “I’m pleased to make your acquaintance, Henry,” he said, and then straightening again, he turned his gorgeous blue eyes on her before extending his hand.  “And it is a very distinct pleasure to meet you, Swan.”

She felt her face flame and her heart pound in reaction to the smoldering attention he was tossing her way

Get a grip, Emma!  You’d think this was the first hot guy you’d ever met.

She took a deep breath, took his hand, and gave it one quick, businesslike pump before she turned toward the kitchen.  “You want something to drink?” she asked.

“A water would be lovely, if it’s not too much trouble,” he answered.

“‘Kay,” she answered, already heading in the direction of her fridge.  “Go ahead and make yourself comfortable.  I’ll be right back.”

She took as long as she could reaching into her fridge, letting the cold air bathe her, hopefully cool her down a little.  She didn’t know what she was doing here; didn’t know how or why she’d ended up in this ridiculous situation, but in this situation she was, and she had to make the most of it.

Maybe...and she couldn’t believe she was even considering this...Mary Margaret had a point.  Maybe it was time to start letting her walls down.  She wasn’t going to take a wrecking ball to them altogether, but maybe, just maybe pulling down a few bricks here and there wouldn’t kill her.

Grabbing two water bottles, she turned back toward her living area, and her heart turned over at the sight before her.  Killian sat on the couch, Henry draped across his lap, making small contented noises as Killian rubbed his belly.

You can trust him, her inner Mary Margaret insisted again.  Today just might be the start of something amazing if you let it.

Maybe it would, or maybe it wouldn’t, Emma thought as she handed him his water and took a seat across from him, but for the first time in years she was willing to take that chance.

“So Killian Jones, tell me a little bit about yourself.”

 Notes:

--Happy Friday and happy….spring?  I don’t even know what season it is anymore after we got a ridiculously late snow earlier this week.  At any rate you get an update two weeks in a row!  (Don’t get too used to it; I make no guarantees that will continue, lol.)

--So Emma (with the help of her dog Henry) overcame her natural self-preservation instincts to slam the door in Killian’s face and has decided to take a chance on him.  I suspect her inner Mary Margaret is right.  This could be the start of something amazing.

--And Henry?  Yeah, he is 100% based on my dog, Bear.  This is exactly how he’d react if Killian showed up at my door.  (Of course, that’s not saying much.  It’s also exactly how he’d react if [fill in the blank with the OUAT character you hate most or find most annoying] showed up at my door.)

--What do you think?  Is this fluffy little story at an end, or does it need another chapter?  I’m kind of torn.  On the one hand, I kind of like where I left it.  On the other, I mean *shrug*  Who knows?  There’s always room for more CS romance.  Maybe the muse will decide there’s more to this story left to tell.
