I'd never thought I'd go through the process of watching two characters give each other loving looks, watching their relationship be the main focus of the show and how they complement each other in an absolutely non platonic way, watching them hold hands and then end up getting a "as best friends and siblings" in end right before they show us that one of them left her homeland to be with the other, with a het ship but here we are.

The idea about names of KFP ships
I was inspired by one post with Genshin's ships names, so, I decided to do smth with KFP ones. Also, a warning that the list has some spicy ships. Let's go!
~~~
Po x Luthera (Pothera/LuthePo) - Dragonknightshipping Po is the Dragon Warrior, Luthera is a Knight + the formule is canon and explained in s2
Po x Veruca (Poruca/VeruPo) - Controversialblossomshipping They make each other blossom in different ways
Klaus x Veruca (Klaruca/Dumontcest) - Sectantmageshipping It's interesting that in one of translations their clan was interpreted as sectants, so I use this as a reason
Kai x Veruca (Kairuca/VeruKai) - Revengeshipping Both of them want to do revenge for own reasons
Luthera x Veruca (Lutheruca/Veruthera) - Hatecycleshipping It's due to everytime chasing and the whole concept of their hatred to each other
Alfred x Veruca (Alfruca) - Metalflowershipping Veruca used her powers to take Alfred's sword to kill him (oops...)
Kai x Oogway (Kaiway) - Historygeneralshipping They share own story in the past and they are ex-generals
Kai x Tigress (Kaigress) - Gloomshipping I think they have some similarities in their behaviours as they're near the border of darkness
Kai x Tai Lung (KaiLung) - Commonevilshipping They both were banished by Oogway and that was why they were evil af
Monkey x Tigress (Mongress) - Strongbindingshipping There were a lot of moments that they share together such as looks at each other as they have stronger connection than with others
Crane x Viper (Criper) - Serpentinebirdieshipping Easy, it's a species separation
Colin x Luthera (Colithera) - Realfakeshipping Colin is a real knight, while Luthera is a fake one, heh
Tigress x Viper (Vipress) - Softhardcoreshipping Easy as well, Tigress is hardcore, while Viper is a soft person
Po x Viper (ViPo) - Tangledjoyshipping They are cinnamon rolls and sweethearts + Viper is a snake who can tangle Po easily
Po x Song (SongPo) - Musicfightershipping Po is a flute player, while Song is a dancer + both are fighters
Po x Klaus (KlausPo) - Greenparallelshipping They share the green color and sometimes Po is paralled to Klaus
Kai x Klaus (KaiKlaus/KlausKai) - Sorrowshipping In another universe Kai can feel sorry for Klaus, since Kai knows what is the betrayal
Shen x Tigress (Shengress) - Fireshipping Shen uses cannons, while Tigress feels like a fire itself
Shen x Veruca (VeruShen) - Genialevilshipping They both are evil and abusive af

we eating good
x : BANDAGED HEART :*+゚
in which: blade finds out you're injured and can't contain his anger.
warnings: gn!reader x protective!blade, fluff, mentions of blood and injuries, 'who did this to you?' trope with blade LOL, slight manhandling, did i mention that he's protective?
a/n: blade debut, omg? this sucks btw but this was inspired by this comic that i saw the other day :> it just reminded me that the 'who did this to you' trope existed and i went YES and took my own spin onto it so, i hope you enjoy!
Tumblr media
the smell of antiseptic wafts heavily through the air, bandages sit tightly rolled beside you, and you hiss at the sting of the antibacterial ointment slathered over the open wound on your arm. 
it hurts. 
blinking the tears away and gritting your teeth to bear with the pain, you reach for the unused roll, clumsily unravelling them with shaking hands and a blurring vision.
“oi.” a raspy voice from behind catches you off guard and you turn around from where you’ve seated yourself in the corner of the medical wing, having helped yourself to a supply of ointment and bandages. 
a familiar swordsman and fellow coworker towers above you, glowering at you through the streaks of his bangs. maybe if you weren’t on the verge of fainting, you’d have the energy to fear him.
“oh, it’s just you,” you mutter, “can i help you?”
his eyes glance you up and down, as if scanning you for any indication of misadventure. feeling uneasy under the intensity of his gaze, you return to trying to rip the bandages with bare hands since you had not brought scissors or even a blade with you in your haste. 
feeling the blood from your wound drip down your arm and onto the floor beneath you, you cringe, hurrying up so you don’t make a mess. this whole patching-yourself-up-thing should have been easy, but without something sharp and half your strength evaporated after a gruesome mission, it was much harder than usual. 
the growing frustration you were feeling was not offering much aid either, and with blade practically towering over you, you try not to let your fluctuating anger overwhelm you. 
aeons, it was as if you were sent on this mission with elio praying for your downfall. you’re lucky that you managed to get out with only a scratch on your arm and a missing weapon. it’s going to be hard finding a replacement for it, but when you just looked death in the face, you can’t say you have much to complain about that a weapon was the only thing you lost. 
suddenly, two hands sneak underneath your arms to lift you up, breaking your train of thought with a tight, unforgiving grip as you’re effortlessly placed onto a hospital bed right beside you. meeting the ruby eyes of the swordsman, your breath lodges uncomfortably in your throat, and you have to rip your gaze away from him; the intensity would paralyse you otherwise. 
“where are you hurt?” he asks, sounding more like a demand than a question. 
“i can do it myself,” you grumble. blade takes the bandage out of your hands, holding back your wrist that instinctively reached out to grab it back. the glare he shoots you from the corner of his eye placates any complaint you have.
“show me.”
reluctantly, you present your injured arm. he mutters a very quick and quiet ‘stay here’ before stalking off. a faucet is turned on, water begins running from a nearby sink, and blade returns with a wet cloth. 
grabbing your wounded arm, he cleans around the area, rubbing the blood that has trickled down your arm as well. he’s scarily gentle with you, attentive to your every wince and hiss, halting momentarily every time you let a noise slip. 
he makes quick work of patching you up, flawless and effortless in his technique. makes sense, you suppose, since he is covered in these. 
you wonder how many times he’s had to do this on himself. a small part of your heart aches thinking about it.
“thank you,” you whisper when he’s done, gratitude silently swirling inside you. grabbing the bandages and cloth, you slide off onto your feet. “i’ll put these away.” 
stepping in front of you, his body intercepts your path and you’re pressed against the bed, frozen under him. there’s an indescribable look of fury in his eyes, his red eyes seeming even angrier than usual. 
“what happened?” he asks.
you have hold yourself up, suddenly weak in the knees. “just a typical mission, it’s nothing you should worry about.”
the fellow stellaron hunter does not look satisfied with your response. “what do you mean ‘nothing you should worry about’? who did this to you?” he asks, punctuating each word with a dark expression. 
“blade- please, can we not talk about this right now?” you mutter, “i’m tired and i just want to sleep.”
he narrows his eyes. “who. hurt. you?”
“why? what can you do about it now?”
“kill them.”
you scoff. “yeah, right.”
blade wedges a leg between yours, hindering your escape even further by leaning himself closer to you. “i’m serious.”
“so am i. if you’re thinking about hunting them down, then please, don’t bother. let it go.” you mutter.
“but you got hurt.” 
“i get hurt all the time.”
his brows scrunch together, a small indication of the dangerous protectiveness growing within him. you interrupt his train of thoughts, placing a brave hand on his chest; right over his heart. ‘i’m fine. you don’t need to worry about me.”
“i’m not worried,” he grumbles lowly. 
“oh. i see.”
he grabs your hand and takes it away from his chest, holding you gently. “i’m angry that you got hurt.”
you’re speechless, blinking at the swordsman who raises your hand to his lips, placing a kiss on the back of it. it feels like a promise- not that you know what said promise is, but with that look in his eyes, you know it’s not a peaceful one. 
“so why don’t you tell me the truth? who did this to you?”
the answer slips past your lips before you can help it and when the words are spilled, a creeping guilt invades you. whatever he’s planning, you know that bloodshed will follow.
“see, that wasn’t so hard.”
in a blink of an eye, blade is gone, taking the intense pressure with him. he left so quickly that you wonder if he was ever here to begin with. the lingering brush of his lips is the only indication that he was not a figment of your half-aware conscious.

☆ ❝ 𝐢-𝐢 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐫. ❞ ⋆ hsr x reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
synopsis. taking your v-card woahh!!!1!!!
warnings. virgin!reader, mirror fucking (or wtv its called, blade's prt), making out (jing yuan's part), nsfw and sex in general idk what else to warn u abt
author's note. bad writing alert barf ew!, also to the people calling me lyn or sea in my inbox i think you guys are funny /pos lol
pairings. blade, jing yuan, luocha, gepard.
Tumblr media
blade likes the idea of him being your first. especially about how innocent you are, it turns him on!! corruption kink go crazy, and definitely when he sees you so dumb on his cock. type of guy to tell you that your hole is made for him, because it is! the way you take him so well.. and especially when it's the first cock you'd ever bounce on?! waa please it makes him so horny, makes him just want even more of you!! his long-lasting stamina doesn't help you out at all from endless rounds of your poor overstimulated hole. the pretty little claw marks on his back from fucking you makes him proud when he looks up to see them in the mirror, he's the first person to ever make you do that, why wouldn't he be proud?
Tumblr media
jing yuan falls in love all over again when he hears you are a virgin. so incredibly happy and smug to be your first. it's up to you if you want it to be vanilla or rough, just forever proud to be someone as precious as you's first. start out probably with a makeout session! probably real messy with it, and slowly his kisses trace down somewhere else.. gives head so well :33, does it messily on purpose and he gladly show off his cum covered tongue and swallow your load infront of you!! the loudest sounds ever too.. especially when he got you bent over his desk just all wet and ready to take in his cock, and letting his cock, be the first inside you!!
Tumblr media
luocha.. hmm.. will make your first the best, will treat you right with his huge cock, probably mostly vanilla, depends when you mentioned to him that you're a virgin, i guess? just takes it slow with you, it's your first time so, he wants to make it at least somewhat romantic, and something you can remember and label it pleasuring. makes sure your pleasure come first. out of everything it's you who matters the most to him, but.. if you really want your first time to be something that you really couldn't walk over, sure. he'll be rough as hell, just if you ask, but when he's really into the moment, you won't be able to slow him down, and will go as rough as he wants to. remembers to sort of apologize after that though.. help
Tumblr media
gepard probably is also a virgin, but it isn't uncommon for him to go lowkey rough. still remembers you are his biggest priority, in terms of pleasure, and in general. just wants you to feel good, let his cock be the first to make you feel like that. probably the kind of guy that jerked off to this kind of moment. just you using his cock for your own pleasure, but he knows you wouldn't really be the type of person to do that. probably that kind of guy to put you into a mating press and just vent out his frustration from work all into thrusting his mean cock into your overstimulated hole!
Tumblr media
i'll probably make a part 2 of this soon !!

MONACO
The sound of clashing blades echoed through the halls of the Club d’Escrime, a backdrop to your training session with Marco, your Italian coach. Fully suited in your white fencing uniform, mask tucked under your arm, you watched the double doors open, revealing your brother, Charles and his videographer, Antoine. The latter already had his camera rolling, and Charles, in his usual casual style—jeans, a dark hoodie, and white sneakers, looking like he had just stepped off a magazine cover.
“Finally!” You said, walking towards them with a smile. “Thought you’d never make it.”
Charles chuckled, spreading his arms in mock exasperation. “Don’t start! You’re the one who’s always impossible to catch. What is it this week? Tokyo? Budapest?”
“Home, for once,” you replied with a laugh, gesturing around the salle. “But that’s rare, as you know.”
“The place is very stunning,” Charles said, as he marveled the interior of the salle. “So this is where gold medals are made?” He teased.
“Something like that,” you replied, your voice light with pride. “Though Marco here deserves half the credit.”
“Ah, Charles! Finalmente ci incontriamo,” Marco greeted, shaking Charles’ hand firmly. His thick Italian accent added a charm to his words. “Your sister talks about you a lot.”
“È un piacere finalmente conoscerti. Lei non parla mai di me quando vinco, però.” He joked, shooting a playful look your way.
“Not true, and you know it.” You rolled your eyes at the comment.
Marco laughed, patting Charles on the shoulder. “Well today, we’ll see if athletic talent runs in the family, sì?”
“Okay, so here we are at the Club d’Escrime in Monaco. This is where my sister trains—when she’s not winning Olympic gold, of course,” he said grinning at you and turning towards the camera.
“We’ve been planning this fencing lesson for many months now, but with her busy training schedule and my racing calendar, it’s been almost impossible to find a day that worked for both of us. So finally, today is the day!” Charles added.
“Did you mention how excited you’ve been?” You quipped, folding your arms.
Charles smirked. “I may have. But, let’s be honest, you’re probably more nervous than I am.”
“Nervous?” You scoffed. “Why would I be nervous? You’re the one holding a weapon for the first time.”
“Ah, but I’ve seen the movies,” he countered, mimicking a clumsy lunge. “How hard can it be?”
You laughed at his theatrics, shaking your head. “We’ll see how long that confidence lasts when Marco puts you through the warm-up.”
“Speaking of which,” Marco interjected, “shall we start soon? Time is short, and I want to see if he can last more than five minutes.”
“You’re in for a workout.” You teased and smiled.
Charles gave an exaggerated sigh but could not hide his amusement. “Great. I love being underestimated.”
“You’re about to learn that fencing isn't as easy as people make it look on TV.” You smiled at the camera.
“Or tiktok.” Charles quipped, earning a chuckle from Marco.
You gestured towards the piste. “Alright, let’s get you geared up. I don’t want to hear any excuses later.”
Once Charles was all suited up, he stepped onto the piste, fully suited in his borrowed fencing gear, and you couldn’t help but pause. There was something striking about the way the jacket, breeches, and long socks suited him. The silver sheen of the lamé, a metallic vest worn over the jacket for scoring, added an almost regal touch. You smirked as you took in the sight of your brother adjusting his gloves.
“Oh my god. I’ve never looked so good.” Charles said as he came out all suited up.
“Would you look at that,” you began, folding your arms. “Hate to admit it, but you look good. Maybe too good.”
Charles glanced up, clearly amused. “Oh? Surprised your brother cleans up well?”
“I’m just saying, if this racing thing doesn’t work out, you might have a future as a fencer. Imagine, Charles Leclerc, Olympic Champion.” You gave him an exaggerated once-over. “The gear suits you.”
“I mean, I do look the part.” He smiled, striking a mock fencing pose, which was more comedic than impressive.
“You do,” you admitted with a laugh. “But let’s see if you can move like a fencer before you start planning your second career.”
“Basta con i complimenti. Time for the warm-up! No excuses later when your legs start complaining.” Marco smiled.
Charles groaned playfully, shooting you a mock glare. “Leg day already gets me in the gym. Don’t let him overdo it.”
“Stop whining,” you teased, motioning for him to follow Marco. “You’ll thank him when you’re not limping tomorrow.”
“We begin easy,” he said, demonstrating a forward bend. “Touch your toes, Charles. Keep your legs straight.”
“Easy for you to say,” he muttered, glancing at Marco, who was effortlessly folding himself in half.
“Come on, Charlie. You can’t lose to a guy twenty years older than you.” You chuckled from the sidelines, standing near Antoine, who was filming the entire thing.
“Thanks for the encouragement,” Charles quipped, finally managing to graze his toes. “I see you’re enjoying this too much.”
“I am.” You admitted, voice light with laughter.
Next were lunges, which Charles did with ease, his form surprisingly precise. “Now these, I can handle. We do this in the gym all the time.”
“Good. Now arm extensions, long and controlled. Think of reaching for the target.” Charles mirrored Marco’s movements, extending his arms fluidly.
You couldn’t resist teasing, “not bad, Charles. Maybe you’re a natural after all.”
“Maybe I am,” he replied, smirking. “See? I’ve got this.”
“Next is jumping jacks,” Marco interrupted, clearly amused by your banter.
Charles transitioned smoothly into the exercise, his movements energetic and practiced. As he worked through the routine, Charles suddenly turned to you, his tone curious.
“Why don’t we ever train together? Seems like it could be fun.” Charles glanced at you.
“Because you’d complain the whole time.” You laughed, shaking your head.
“Hey, I don’t complain that much.” He argued, clearly offended.
You just laughed at him, waving a hand dismissively. “Fencing is my thing, Charlie. I need to focus when I’m training, it’s not all fun and games.”
“And today isn’t serious?” Charles raised a brow, pausing mid-jumping jack.
“Not really,” you admitted with a shrug. “Today’s more about proving to you that fencing isn’t as easy as it looks.”
“Good luck with that,” he said, clearly amused. “You forget who you’re talking to.”
“Charles,” Marco interjected, a mischievous glint in his eye, “your sister has a gold medal, she might surprise you.”
“I don’t doubt that,” he said sincerely, before his grin returned. “But I’m still confident I can keep up.”
“That’s the spirit!” You smiled.
”The floor is yours, campionessa.” Marco smiled as he stepped back, and gestured for you to take over.
“Alright,” you turned to Charles. “Let’s start with the basics. This is going to be your crash course in fencing, everything you need to know before you touch the blade.”
Antoine, still filming, zoomed in on Charles’ face as he nodded, looking serious. “I’m ready, let’s hear it.”
“Fencing is one of the oldest sports in the world. It dates back centuries, originally used in dueling and combat training, but over time, it became more of a sport.” You explained. “In fact, fencing has been part of the Olympics since the very first modern games in 1896.”
“1896?” Charles repeated, very intrigued. “So, it’s been around forever.”
“Pretty much,” you confirmed with a smile. “Since then, it’s evolved into three distinct disciplines—foil, sabre, and epee. Each had different rules, strategies, and weapons. That’s what makes fencing so fascinating, you’re not just swinging a sword around. It’s a mind game as much as a physical one, that’s why some call it physical chess.”
Charles tilted his head, clearly interested. “What’s the difference between the three?”
“Come on, let me show you guys.” You walked over to a nearby rack, where several swords were neatly displayed, each one gleaming under the salle’s lights.
“This is a foil.” You picked up a foil, you held it up for him and the viewers to see. “It is the lightest of the three weapons, weighing about 500 grams, and the one I use. Foil fencing focuses on precision and technique, the target area is only the torso, and points are scored with the tip of the blade.”
Charles reached out, and you handed him the foil. He tested the weight of the blade, lifting and lowering it.
“It’s lighter than I thought.” He admitted, giving it a small swing.
“Foils are meant for agility and speed,” you explained. You then picked up a sabre, slightly heavier with a distinct curved guard. “This is a sabre. It’s a bit heavier, and the rules are very different. In sabre, you can score with the edge of the blade, not just the tip, and target area is the upper body—above the waist, including arms and head.”
“Sounds aggressive,” Charles remarked, running his hand along the blade’s flat edge.
“Oh, it is,” you chuckled. “Sabre is all about speed and attack. It’s fast-paced, almost like a sprint compared to foil’s more calculated, chess-like style.”
“And the last one?” Charles asked, pointing to the remaining weapon.
“This is the epee,” you said as you picked up the epee, handing it to him. “It’s the heaviest of the three, about 775 grams, and the target area is the entire body, head to toe. But in epee, there’s no right of way, whoever hits first, scores.”
Charles tested the epee in his grip, nodding thoughtfully. “So it’s more…straightforward?”
“In a way, yes,” you said, setting the sabre and foil back on the rack. “But it can also lead to longer matches since there’s no restriction on who can attack when, you need all the patience you can get when playing epee.”
The camera panned as you gestured for Charles to follow you back to the piste. “Now, let’s talk about the rules. In foil, which is what we’ll be learning today, the target area is just the torso. No arms, legs, and head. If you hit anywhere else, it doesn’t count.”
“Got it,” Charles said. “What about the scoring?”
“In foil, we use something called right of way. It means that the fencer who initiates the attack has priority. If the other fencer wants to score, they have to defend or parry first, and then counterattack.”
You picked up a foil and demonstrated, lunging forward in a quick, fluid motion. “For example, if I attack you like this, you can’t just hit me back. You’d need to block my blade first.”
“So, it’s not just about being faster, it’s about timing.” Charles frowned slightly, absorbing the information.
“Yup,” you said, impressed. “It’s about strategy and reading your opponent’s moves. Now, there are also some practical rules. The piste, the one we are standing on right now, is 14 meters long and 1.5 to 2 meters wide. If you step off, you lose ground or even a point, and you can’t use your off-hand to block, and obviously, no overly aggressive moves like charging into your opponent.”
Charles raised a brow. “No tackling allowed? Shame.”
“Not unless you want to get a penalty.” You laughed, shaking your head. “Lastly, to win a match, you have to reach a predetermined number of points, usually 15, or have the highest score by the end of the time limit.”
“Okay, I’ll give you a quick demonstration of how right of way works in a tournament.” You gestured for Marco to join you, and he grabbed another foil, stepping into position, as Antoine adjusted his camera as you stepped back onto the piste.
“Watch closely,” you instructed as you and Marco faced off. “Marco will attack, and I’ll defend and counter.”
Marco lunged forward with a smooth attack, and you parried, your blades clashing with a satisfying ring before you swiftly riposted, your blade landing lightly on his torso.
Turning to Charles, you explained. “Since I defended first and then countered, I get the point. Make sense?”
Charles nodded slowly, his brows furrowed in thought. “So, if I just swing wildly, it’s useless unless I have priority.”
“Yes,” you said smiling. “Fencing isn’t about brute force, it’s about control, precision, and strategy.”
“This all felt like a masterclass,” Charles chuckled. “This is very incredible stuff.”
Once Charles had a solid grasp of the basic rules and ths purpose of fencing, you decided it was time to get into the technical aspects.
“Alrighty,” you began, pacing in front of him, foil in hand. “Before you can start attacking, you need to learn how to defend yourself. So, let’s talk about parrying.”
“There are four primary parries in fencing, and each one is important for blocking and setting yourself up for a counterattack.” You added.
Charles nodded, gripping the foil in his hand as if ready to jump in. “Alright, I’m listening. Hit me with it.”
“Not literally,” you teased, pointing your foil at him briefly before continuing. “First is parry four. This is your standard parry, used to block attacks aimed at your torso. You bring the blade across your body like this.”
You demonstrated, twisting your wrist and angling your blade so that the imaginary opponent’s strike would be deflected away. Charles mimicked the movement, though his hand was stiff, and his blade angle slightly off.
You leaned in, using the tip of your foil to adjust his blade position. “Loosen your wrist a bit, it’s all about control, not brute strength. The goal is to guide their blade away, not smack it out of their hands.”
“Okay, okay. Got it.” Charles said, trying again. This time, his movement was smoother.
“Better,” you said, stepping back. “Next is parry six. The one is similar to parry four, but instead of protecting the inside of your body, it covers the outside. Like this.” You executed the parry with ease, your blade moving in a fluid arc.
Charles tried to copy the movement, his blade wobbling slightly as he adjusted his wrist.
“Close,” you said, stepping closer. “But watch your wrist, it needs to stay firm, or you’ll lose control of your blade.” You tapped the back of his hand with your foil, and he adjusted accordingly.
“Parry eight is for low attacks to the outside of your body.” You continued, moving on, and crouching slightly, angling your blade downward to demonstrate. “This one is a little tricky because it requires good reflexes. You’re aiming to protect your lower torso and legs.” Charles gave it a go, though his stance was a bit too wide.
“Too much space,” you said, tapping his knee lightly with your blade. “Keep your movements controlled. The smaller the motion, the quicker you can recover.”
“This is harder than it looks.” Charles exhaled, looking at the camera as he adjusted his stance.
“That’s fencing for you,” you said with a grin. “Last one, parry seven. This one is similar to parry eight, but it protects the inside of your body instead of the ourside.”
You demonstrated the motion, and Charles followed suit, this time managing a relatively smooth movement.
“Good,” you said, stepping back. “Now, key things to remember when parrying—keep your blade pointed at your opponent at all times. It’s not just about blocking, it’s about setting yourself up for a counterattack. As soon as you’ve parried, you need to riposte, counterattack, immediately. If you wait too long, you’ll lose your advantage.”
Marco stepped forward, foil in hand, and you turned to Charles. “I’ll show you how it’s done.”
You squared off with Marco, and as he lunged forward with a mock attack, you parried effortlessly, your blade gliding against his and redirecting it away. In the same motion, you extended your arm, blade tip landing lightly on Marco’s torso.
“See how quick that was?” You said, turning to Charles. “It’s a fluid motion—parry and riposte, all in one go. No wasted movements.”
Charles nodded, his brows furrowed in concentration. “Alright, let me try.”
You stepped aside, letting Marco face Charles. As Marco slowly lunged, Charles attempted a parry, though his movement was slightly delayed, and his riposte lacked precision.
“Not bad,” you said encouragingly. “But don’t overthink it. The more natural it feels, the faster you’ll be.”
“Okay, let’s talk about stance,” you said, planting your feet firmly on the piste. “Your stance is your foundation, if it’s wrong, everything else falls apart.”
You demonstrated, keeping your feet shoulder-width apart, one foot pointing forward and the other at a slight angle.
“Your dominant hand is the one holding the foil. The non-dominant hand stays behind you, raised slightly for balance. So, which hand are you using?” You asked.
“Right.” Charles said, switching the foil to his dominant hand.
“Good,” you said. “Now, copy my stance.”
Charles mirrored your position, though his back foot was slightly out of place.
“Close, but—” you tapoed his leg lightly with your foil. “Your back foot needs to be at an angle, like this. Don’t forget to bend your knees slightly. You need to stay low for balance and quick movement.”
“Not bad,” you said, nodding approvingly when Charles adjusted his stance. “Now let’s work on movement. When you’re in your stance, you need to be able to move forward, backward, and side-to-side quickly withou losing your balance.”
You demonstrated, gliding forward and backward with small, controlled steps. “Notice how my feet stay the same distance apart, no matter where I go. That keeps me balanced and ready to attack or defend.”
Charles followed your lead, though his movements were a bit stiff.
“Relax,” you said, smiling. “You’re not marching in the military. It’s more like a dance, fluid and controlled.” He tried again, this time loosening up slightly.
“Better,” you said. “Now let’s add a lunge, the lunge is your main attacking move. From your stance, you push off your back leg and extend your front leg forward, like this.” You demonstrated, your movement smooth and precise. Charles attempted the motion, but his lunge was too short.
“Bigger step,” you said, tapping his front leg with your foil. “You want fo cover as much ground as possjble without overextending.” After a few tries, he managed a decent lunge.
“Not bad,” you said, stepping back. “You’re getting there. Now, let’s put it all together—stance, movement, parries, and lunges. You ready?”
Charles grinned, gripping his foil. “Ready as I’ll ever be.”
“Alright,” you said, picking up the body cord, “before we start, we need to get you all hooked up.”
Charles tilted his head, examining the cord. “What’s that for?”
“This is a body cord,” you explained, stepping closer to attach it to his fencing jacket. “It connects your weapon to the scoring system. When you land a valid touch, the electrical circuit completes, and the scoreboard registers the point.”
“So no sneaky hits?” He joked, watching closely as you secured it to his back and guided it through the sleeves of his jacket to attach to the foil.
“Not unless you want the referee to see it light up,” you quipped, making sure everything was in place before handing him a fencing mask. “Here, put this on.”
“For this first round, we’re keeping it simple, call it a trial run,” you said, rolling your shoulders and flexing your foil. “Marco will referee and keep things light. Just focus on getting comfortable.”
“Got it. Don’t go easy on me, though.” Charles raised his foil slightly, his excitement evident in his stance.
You laughed. “Trut me, Charles, I won’t.”
Marco stepped onto the side of the piste, holding a referee’s clicked in one hand. “Alright, trial run. I’ll call the touches. En garde!”
You and Charles took your positions at opposite ends of the piste, foils raised in salite before dropping into the en garde stance.
“Prêt? Allez!” Marco called, signaling the start of the bout.
Charles moved hesitant at first, testing his footing as he advanced. You let him come forward, observing his movements.
“Don’t forget your stance,” you reminded him, stepping back slightly. “Stay balanced.”
He nodded, adjusting his feet, and made a tentative lunge. Charles’ foil grazed your blade, missing the target area entirely.
“Close,” you said, countering with a light touch to his torso. Marco raised his hand. “Touch!”
Charles shook his head, laughing. “Okay, that was fast. Was that even one second?”
“Welcome to fencing,” you said with a grin. “It’s all about timing. Relax, though you’re doing fine.”
As the trial run continued, Charles began finding his rhythm. He landed his first touch on your shoulder, earing a quick ‘touch!’ from Marco.
“How does it feel?” You asked, stepping back for a brief pause.
Charles grinned under his mask. “Not bad! Are you nervous yet?”
“Me? Nervous?” You teased. “Cute. Let’s see how you handle the next round round.”
The second round began, and Charles was much more deliberate in his movements. He used the parries you had taught him, successfully blocking two of your attacks and landing another touch on your shoulder.
“Not bad, Lord Perceval,” you said, nodding as you reset your stance. “You’re learning quickly.”
“Of course,” he replied, his voice light with mock arrogance. “I’m a Leclerc. We adapt fast.”
By the end of the round, Marco called for a pause. “Alright, let’s use the scoreboard for the next one.”
“See this?” Marco said, pointing to the display. “Every valid touch will light up here with a beep. First to fifteen points wins.”
Charles noticed the screen, which displayed yor names, complete with small Monaco flags next to them.
“Wait, you personalized it?” He asked, laughing. “Now I feel like I’m in the Olympics.”
“Of course,” you said with a grin. “Nothing but the best for my big brother.”
Charles chuckled, lifting his foil again. As you adjusted your own, you bent the blade slightly, an action that caught his attention.
“Why are you doing that?” He asked.
“It’s something all fencers do,” you explained, holding the blade up for him to see. “Foils are flexible, and bending them ensures they’re in good condition and won’t snap. It also helps make the touches more accurate and less painful.”
“Huh,” Charles said, mimicking the motion with his own foil. “Interesting.”
“Alright, this is it,” you said, lowering your mask. “First to fifteen.”
Marco raised his hand. “En garde! Prêt? Allez!”
The boug began, and Charles quickly demonstrated his growing confidence. He moved fluidly, landing a few clean touches on your torso and arm. You could see his competitiveness kicking in, and you responded with sharper attacks, forcing him to parry and riposte.
Halfway through, the score was tied at 7-7, and the beeping sound of the scoreboard filled the room with each touch.
“You’re doing great.” You said during a brief pause.
“Thanks,” Charles replied, panting slightly. “But I’m not letting you win.”
“Good,” you said, resetting your stance. “Because I’m not letting you win, either.”
The intensity ramped up in the final stretch. Charles managed to land three more touches, bringing his total to ten, but you quickly countered with a series of precise attacks, pushing your score to fifteen.
Marco raised his hand as the final beep sounded. “Touché! Match for her—15 to 10!”
“Lifting your mask, you grinned at Charles, who pulled off his own mask, shaking his head in disbelief.
“That was incredible,” he said, still catching his breath. “I actually thought I had you for a moment there.”
“Well fought, champ! Ten points is impressive for a first timer, you did really great.” You said, resting your foil on your shoulder. “But I told you, fencing isn’t easy as it looks.”
Charles laughed, running a hand through his sweaty hair. “Yeah, no kidding. I think I’ll stick to racing.”
Marco, who had been observing with a smile, stepped in. “You were actually good for a beginner. You’re a fast learner, Charles. I’ve work with a lot of first-timers, and not many can pick up that quickly.”
“That’s true,” you chimed in nodding. “You were way better than I expected. Usually, people take ages to figure out how to lunge properly or keep their stance balanced.”
Charles’ grin widened. “Well, what can I say? It’s in my blood to be competitive.”
Marco laughed, clapping Charles on the shoulder. “You should come by more often during her trainings. You’d make a good parry partner.”
“Oh stop feeding his ego,” you said, rolling your eyes playfully. “It’s already huge.”
Charles gave a mock bow. “Keep it coming, Marco. I’m soaking it all in.”
Marco just smiled as the camera zoomed in on you both as he continued. “Not, really, Charles. If you’re free diring off-season, you should consider it. You’d give her a good challenge, and it would keep her on her toes.”
“Hmm…” Charles leaned on his foil again, pretending to consider the offer. “Fencing during off-season. I might actually think about that.”
You laughed. “Sure, if you can handle beaten every time.”
“Bold words. But we’ll see.” Charles grinned. “So, what’s next for you? You’ve already won the Olympics. Where do you go from here?”
“Next up is the Fencing World Cup. It’s coming up in a few months, so I’m focused on preparing for that.” You smiled, feeling the excitement bubbling inside of you.
Charles nodded. “If people want fo follow your journey, where can they find you?”
“Everywhere.” You said with a laugh, then added, “but seriously, you guys can follow me on my social media. If you are curious about up coming tournaments, you can check out Team Monaco’s offical instagram. They post all of the updates there.”
Charles turned to the camera. “There you have it, guys.” He then faced you and Marco. “I just want to say thank you, for real. I know your schedules are crazy, and you took time to teach me something completely out of my comfort zone. I really had fun.”
“You’re welcome here anytime, Charles.” Marco smiled warmly. “You’re a natural. Who knows? Maybe one day, you’ll be on the piste at a tournament.”
Charles laughed, shaking his head. “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, but I appreciate the vote of confidence.”
“You did great today,” you grinned, nudging him lightly with your elbow. “Who knows? Maybe we’ll see you fencing for Monaco one day.”
Charles smiled. “Only if you promise not to embarrass me in front of everyone.”
“No promises.” You teased.
Marco gestured toward the camera. “Alright, shall we wrap this up?”
You, Charles, and Marco all faced the lens. “Thanks for watching!” You said with a wave. “Remember, fencing is cooler than you think.”
“And harder than it looks!” Charles added. “Thank you both for taking the time to teach me, I had a blast today. It’s always fun learning new things.”
“Of course, Charlie!” You replied warmly. “We’ll be waiting for your next fencing session.”
“You’re always welcome, Charles.” Marco smiled. “Just don’t take too long to return, alright? We might have to recruit you into the team at this rate!”
All of you laughed as you said your goodbyes, and with that, the video came to a close, screen fading into black.

Danmei and Baihe C Novels and Manhua Officially Licensed in English
Things are getting licensed fast enough that keeping a list like this up-to-date is basically impossible, but I saw someone asking in the tags so I figured I'd try. All titles are danmei unless otherwise noted (very little baihe is licensed so far). I've included Chinese titles, but sometimes publishers change the original titles so much that I can't track them down, apologies. I've hit the link limit on this post so I've had to remove NovelUpdate links, but they're still in the version of this post on Wordpress. Note that Taiwanese titles are not included on this list.
This is everything I know of as of December 11, 2024. There might be more. I tried. Resources used to compile this list: Danmeinews.com; this Carrd, last updated in March 2023; this other carrd last updated October 23 2024; list of danmei with official licenses on NovelUpdates; a similar list on Goodreads; danmei-specific list on Reddit that to my eye looks accurate for the larger publishers but isn't thorough for some of the smaller ones.
-
Seven Seas:
The full list of danmei novels licensed by Seven Seas is here. The full list of danmei manhua licensed by Seven Seas is here.
These titles are in various stages of publication, from "entire series released" to "license literally announced less than a week ago." As far as I know, all Seven Seas titles are available world-wide, through major distributors and libraries, and in e-book and print formats. Seven Seas translation quality varies but the editing is general strong and the editions are sturdy and nice. Note that Seven Seas isn't without controversy, especially for treating their contractors poorly resulting in them unionizing. Some people have also been unhappy with the fidelity of their translations compared to the original Chinese (I've been satisfied personally but ymmv).

Rosmei:
Rosmei licenses are Singapore distribution rights only. There is a list of international partners organizing group orders here. I've personally placed my orders through Yiggybean, as discussed in reply to this ask. Most of these titles are only being released as print editions, tho titles that weren't originally on JJWXC (of which there are several here) WILL have e-book editions. My first book from Rosmei arrived, and I found the translation and editing to be very strong. I can't speak to how accurate it may be to the Chinese original, but it read smoothly and had very few errors. Overall, though they've made some mistakes, they've been communicative and responsive.
Huai Shang titles:
Breaking Through the Clouds (Po Yun)
Hunt for the Leviathan (Po Yun 2 Tun Hai)
Ning Yuan titles:
BAIHE: At the World's Mercy
BAIHE (I think???) The Creator's Grace

Peach Flower House:
Unfortunately, Peach Flower House has gone out of business. Peach Flower House titles were primarily for sale through their website and through some distributors, such as Amazon.com. Whether titles are e-book only, print only, or both varied by title. In my opinion, Peach Flower House has inconsistent inconsistent editing quality, but the books are very readable.
Da Feng Gua Guo:
The Imperial Uncle (Huang Shu)
Peach Blossom Debt (Taohua Zhai)
Other Titles:
Golden Terrace (Huang Jin Tai) by Cang Wu Bin Bai
In the Dark (Zai Hei An Zhong) by Jin Shisi Chai
Little Mushroom (Xiao Mogu) by Shisi
University of the Underworld (Yinjian Daxue) by Ziloi
-
Via Lactea:
The partial list of danmei novels licensed by Via Lactea is here, but there are titles I've seen them selling that aren't on this list.
Via Lactea titles are primarily for sale through their website and through some distributors, such as Amazon.com. All titles are either print-only or e-book + print. Only a handful have actually been released, the rest are licensed and presumably in progress. I've now read three titles published by Via Lactea and while the translations are decent I could wish the editing was more consistent. Everything reads as if it would have been improved by one more thorough proof read.
Jing Shui Bian Titles:
Salad Days (Jing Jiu)
Silent Hearts (Mo Mai)
Qing Lv Titles:
Painting Against the Natural Grain (Huahua Ben Shi Ni Tian Er Xing) by Qing Lv
Raising Myself in 2006 by Qing Lv
Other Titles:

Aloha Comics:
A tiny, Hawaii-based press focusing on manhua. Titles are available through major retailers such as Amazon and Bookshop.org. I've purchased one of these titles - Nirvana in Fire - and was please with the quality despite a couple minor errors.
All these titles are manhua!
Day Off by Qing Cai
Heaven Official's Blessing Animation Manhua by Bilibili and Mo Xiang Tong Xiu (this is a manhua made based on the donghua, using donghua art)
Here U Are by DJUN
Link Click by Li Haoling and Haoliners (not technically danmei!)
Nirvana in Fire (Lang Ya Bang) by Hai Yan (not technically danmei!)
-
Monogatari Novels:
Monogatari Novels is based in Spain. These titles can also be ordered from at least some major retailers. Note that there has been some controversy about Monogatari Novels. I'm personally not ordering these works until more information is available.
Due to a lawsuit between Monogatari Novels and BLoved Publishing, How to Survive as a Villain and The Legendary Master's Wife are currently on hold.
BAIHE: A Clear and Muddy Loss of Love (Jing Wei Qing Shang) by Please Don't Laugh
BAIHE: Female General and Eldest Princess (NuJiangjun he Zhang Gongzhu) by Please Don't Laugh

BAIHE: Soulmate manhua by Wenzhi Lizi
-
BLoved Publishing:
ngl I can't figure out exactly what is up with this, and there seems to be some controversy related to them and their relationship with Monogatari Novels. Their website is depressingly low on details. However, this list is for completeness, so here we are.
Due to a lawsuit between Monogatari Novels and BLoved Publishing, How to Survive as a Villain and The Legendary Master's Wife are currently on hold.
How to Survive as a Villain (Chuan Yue Cheng Fanpai Yao Ru He Huo Ming) manhua by Yi Yi Yi Yi
The Legendary Master's Wife (Chuanshuo Zhi Zhu de Furen) by Yin Ya
-
Chaleuria:
As far as I can tell, Chaleuria has not updated their webpage since April 2023, so the current status of in-progress titles is unknown. All titles are digital and/or e-book, and I'm not sure how to purchase them as I haven't tried.

-
Webnovel:
When I first made this list, I heard that Webnovel had a few titles but couldn't actually find them - but now I've found them, thanks to a list someone else put together. I'm including direct links to them, since I had so much trouble finding them at all.
Comrade: Almost a Cat-astrophic Love Story (Jintian ye Yao Nuli Dang Zhimao) by Demonic Fire (link)
My Boyfriend is a Dragon (Nanpiao Shi Tiaolong) by Chubby Strawberry Sauce (link)
The National Sweetheart Livestreamer is a Pro! (Quanmin Zhubo Shi Duiba) by Mo Shang Wang (link)
-
Honorable Mentions:
There are a handful of titles I know of that are official translations of C Novels. These are not books with contextual queerness, but for folks with an interest in Chinese history and culture, they are worth checking out anyway, especially because understanding these stories can help understand the above books. Also, some have active shipping fandoms (for example, I've written for Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Daomu Biji). I've included two above under the entry for titles from Aloha Comics (Link Click and Nirvana in Fire) and here are a couple others I currently know of:
Dream of the Red Chamber (Hong Lou Meng) by Cao Xueqin, available in translation for free from Project Gutenberg
The Grave Robbers’ Chronicles (Daomu Biji) by Nanpai Sanshu (six volumes are available in English from Things Asian Press)
Journey to the West (Xiyou Ji) by Wu Cheng-en, in four volumes from University of Chicago Press
The Legend of the Condor Heroes (She Diao Yingxiong Chuan) by Jin Yong, in four volumes from St. Martin’s Press
Romance of the Three Kingdoms (Sanguo Yanyi), attributed to Luo Guanzhong, available in translations for free from Archive.org
The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants (Zonglie Xiayi Chuan), attributed to Shi Yukun, available in translation for free from Archive.org
Water Margin (Shuihu Zhuan) by Shi Nai’an, from Tuttle Publishing
RESOURCE: List of Chinese speculative fiction in English translation
RESOURCE: More Chinese speculative fiction in English translation
I will add to the "Honorable Mentions" list if I find any other more mainstream titles with official translations.
-
Rumored Licenses:
Sometimes, I hear rumors about titles being licensed before the license is announced - and thus before we know which publisher has licensed them (assuming the rumor is even true). I thought I should note these somewhere. Titles I know of rumors about currently are:
A Certain Someone (Moumou) by Mu Su Li
Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know (Mozun Ye Xiang Zhidao) by Cyan Wings (a Spanish edition of this has been formally announced, which might account for the rumor)
The Fourteenth Year of Chenghua (Chenghua Shisi Nian) by Meng Xi Shi
Guide on How to Fail at Online Dating (Wanglian Fanche Zhinan) by Jiang Zi Bei
Immortal Koi is Going to Debut (Jinli Daxian Yao Chudao) by Mo Xi Ke
Mist (Bowu) by Wei Feng Ji Xu
-
A handful of other licenses are mentioned on the Carrd I linked at the beginning of this post; I have no idea the status of those titles and wasn't able to find information on them while putting together this post other than what was listed on that Carrd, so I've omitted them.
Now go forth, and buy some books!

FORGOTTEN PROMISE
Tumblr media
SUMMARY: you made a promise to Blade before you disappeared from his life forever. It's been a long time and you've long forgotten the past along with the promise you made — but not Blade. (Blade x f!reader)
WC: 1.6k
WARNINGS: asphyxia, rough Blade, blood, disemboweled bodies, a little bit angst, wip
AUTHOR'S NOTE: my first drabble (idk) that I crashed more than once, omg. enjoy reading, mates.
Tumblr media
you carefully stepped over the lifeless body of an unknown cloud knight lying in the way. the salty metallic smell of blood hung in the air, and several viscous purple puddles covered the floor underfoot. a terrible picture opened before your eyes: heads and cut throats brutally smashed against cargo containers, broken limbs and gradually appearing on the bodies of cadaverous miasma with a characteristic putrid, sweet smell. despite the fact that there were countless corpses disfigured by the blade around, you did not feel the same nausea that appeared from the heavy stench of death. being a long-lived woman who has lived for decades, you have seen many soldiers loyal to the xianzhou alliance who have passed away: you saw them before the fatal battle with confident smiles on their faces and heard how the soldiers were escorted to the accompaniment of bitter female sobs and enthusiastic whistles from the excited crowd before they faced, after the defeat of mara, the curse of a long life continuing their existence in immortal, mindless bodies. the truth that I didn't want to accept.
moving with quiet steps along a suspiciously neatly laid out row of corpses, you occasionally looked back, as if mesmerized, staring at the bloody footprints left by shoes. but what you were worried about right now was not cleaning the damaged shoes, but something else — it was too quiet. despite your loneliness, it was as if you were naked, defenseless and vulnerable to something unknown. In front of something invisible and shapeless, which will overtake and sink sharp claws into the back at any moment. a golden ginkgo leaf landed on the toe of the shoe, slowly spinning in a gust of wind: withered, with barely noticeable cuts. here, one did not need to have psychic abilities and have the matrix of prescience ultima to understand whose handiwork it was. who left behind a mountain of mercilessly slaughtered bodies, as if hinting at his presence very close.
"no job was worth it..." you muttered out loud in fright, gradually retreating back on legs stiff with fear to the cherished exit. a few steps and finally a safe zone will appear. in the distance, the armor of the cloud knights who had arrived for the patrol could be heard ringing, which were clearly concerned about the sudden loss of a dozen of their comrades.
it was necessary to get out of lofu xianzhou as soon as possible, before he noticed you, learned of your presence on the ship. you'll have to hide your tracks, confuse your pursuer and get lost somewhere in the depths of space for the next few decades until everything settles down and your existence is remembered. it's like you were never born. should you inform the IPC that you are in danger and at gunpoint with one of the most wanted criminals? you reached into your pocket, trying to find your phone there. suddenly you bumped into someone with your back, hitting someone else's chest weakly.
"oh, I'm sorry! I..." you turned around to apologize to the unknown, but then froze in place. the fear that had bound the muscles began to spread deeper into the body, like roots breaking through the soil. your insides felt like they were twisting into a knot, and a viscous lump was coming up to my throat, blocking the oxygen. your heart was pounding somewhere in my temples, and the noise in my ears did not stop. Blade was standing behind him. he was exactly as you remembered him, and clearly had no intention of just saying hello after years of silence.
to run. inside, everything screamed that it was necessary to get away from him as soon as possible, while there was still no opportunity. you practically took off in the opposite direction, but someone else's hands gripped your shoulders tightly, pinning you with force against a nearby cargo container. you screamed softly when you hit the metal wall, closing your eyes reflexively. an unpleasant pain spread through my body, tingling in my suddenly numb muscles. you felt BLADE put his finger to your lips, telling you to be silent.
"really, I'm going to die like this," you thought in a panic, dreaming of falling into the ground without feeling pain. at any moment, you could lose your life if you just moved once more and gave a reason to the hunter right in front of you. but there was no feeling of the cold metal of the blade on the skin, no suffocating grip, only silence between them and the occasional footsteps of excited knights. it was only when you decided to open your eyes that you came face to face with your death. Blade was still gripping your shoulder tightly with one hand, pinning you back against the wall and glaring at you with displeasure. no, not just dissatisfied: in the scarlet eyes burned all shades of malice and hatred, which seemed to burn through your body.
"Blade..." before you could finish, you shrank back into the cargo container behind him when he abruptly pressed a bandaged palm to your lips. the cloud knights were very close, passing by a couple of containers nearby.
"you haven't changed a bit. even now, being on the verge of death, you can't close your mouth," Blade suddenly whispered with a hint of irony in his voice, grinning. after a couple of minutes, other people's voices gradually subsided, and now you are left alone, in the middle of a pile of decomposing knight corpses.
lowering his hand, he grabbed your chin and slightly lifted your head up, examining the familiar, refined features of a face stretched out from fright. it was as if he was making sure that he had caught the right person. a satisfied grin appeared on his lips, after which everything inside shrank again. after all, you got to know each other from the very beginning, it's just that everyone took this fact in their own way.
"it's been a long time since we've seen each other..." he drawled, putting his hand on your neck. unlike the monotonous voice, his skin was hot, as if burning, leaving an indelible mark near the throbbing artery. "hoping to get away from me by wandering around the universe in a panic? this overly idiotic arrogance suits you."
you were about to object when suddenly strong hands closed tightly around your neck, pressing on the artery. he watched with sadistic pleasure as you floundered in his arms in fright, desperately trying to save your own life: clinging to your palms with sharp nails, scratching bandages and glove fabric; trying to get your foot into the man's stomach so that he would have mercy. coughing and wheezing, you continued to try to push Blade away and take a breath of air, but the man remained steadfast.
"you made me a promise. however, you continue to pretend that nothing is happening," Blade said this time without malice, loosening his grip for a split second. it was not difficult for a hunter to end your life at any moment by making one simple move. but there was clearly an unknown reason why he was just harassing you to nip your will in the bud.
"i... don't understand..." you tried to say when the desired drop of oxygen entered your lungs. he was mocking. he was definitely enjoying what was happening, reducing the intake of air each time, listening to the quiet wheezing. that's exactly what you were thinking when your weakened legs suddenly lifted a couple of centimeters off the ground.
"really?" sarcasm was clearly audible in the chilling voice. Blade seemed to doubt the truth of the words. "have your memories become clouded in so many years? what a pity. i can help you remember."
the pressure on his neck increased, and the picture in front of his eyes began to float, drowning in mixed shades. Blade's silhouette became so blurred that it was barely possible to recognize his facial features. your legs were sluggishly beating against the metal wall, as if it was the last hope to reach his tormentor and escape from the suffocating embrace.
suddenly, everything stopped. you fell to your knees, convulsively inhaling as much air as possible into your lungs while tears involuntarily flowed down your cheeks. not out of happiness or resentment, they just appeared by themselves. Blade spared you.
"you know, i've changed my mind," he said, squatting down next to you. the man was not worried that you would decide to take off and try to escape from him again. In such a state, you would hardly be able to stand on your own, let alone run. "after all, centenarians have so much time to enjoy all the delights of life.… so during this period of time, you will definitely remember everything."
you stared at him blankly, trying to focus and ignore the annoying dizziness, but all attempts were in vain. the cyanotic bruises from the long fingers on his neck hurt, and it was completely unpleasant to touch them. Blade picked up your supple body and threw it over his shoulder, heading in the opposite direction from the escape exit.
"where... are we..." you asked almost in a whisper. your head felt heavy, it seemed like an unaffordable weight along with the rest of your body, your eyes were sticking together, and my mouth felt like a desert. you were about to lose consciousness after a few minutes of suffocation.
"what do you think?" obviously, it was a rhetorical question. you slowly closed your eyes, finally resigned to your fate, no longer able to keep your mind in mind. the last thing you could hear was Blade's satisfied grunt and a hand on your waist.
"to a place where you will remember and fulfill your promise to me. whether you want it or not."

LILIES.
Tumblr media
kai parker x witch!reader
it’s a wonder to be in love with something so pure, to taste the poison of his affection and still come back for more, knowing full well it will kill you. but kai has never been good at handling purity. you—you are the closest thing to divine he’s ever known. and in the marrow of his bones, he knows that divinity was never meant to be his salvation. it’s his damnation. you are the angel hovering just out of reach, untouchable, pristine.
you’re his salvation, his damnation, all wrapped into one. and he can’t help but want to tear you apart, to consume you, to drag you down into the rot with him. because loving you—something so pure, so untouchable—is the cruelest thing he has ever known. yet, he can’t stop himself. his love is a poison, a venom that seeps into every crevice of his soul, and he knows it will destroy you. but still, he whispers, "i can’t let anything hurt you."
tw; guilt, shame, self loathing, family trauma, themes of corruption & purity, religious imagery & themes!
wc; 2.7k
⎯⎯⎯ 𖣂  ⎯⎯⎯
THE doorway frames you like the mouth of heaven, the moonlight clinging to your skin, illuminating every curve and hollow in a spectral glow that makes kai's throat tighten. you’re a vision of something too pure, too unblemished for this world. his. you have to be his. each piece of fabric slides from your body like a petal falling from a desecrated bloom, and kai stands there, transfixed, devouring the sight.
he knows he shouldn’t look at you like this—like you’re a sacrament he’s stolen, a sacred thing tarnished by his gaze alone. yet the air between you thickens, syrupy with unspoken desires, the kind of hunger that gnaws at his insides until he feels like he might collapse from the weight of it. it’s obscene, the way his gaze devours you—like you’re a sacred thing he’s tarnishing by simply existing near you. obscene and grotesque, like wedding doves stained with blood, their pristine feathers smeared with sin. you are the embodiment of everything kai has ever craved but could never have: purity wrapped in vulnerability, fragility stitched together with grace. you are an angel, but in his hands, even angels burn.
the room smells like lilies and leather, a sickly-sweet perfume that clings to the back of his throat. he wants to drown in it, in you. he wants to suffocate on the smell of lilies and ruin, to feel you flood his lungs and fill the dark, hollow spaces in his chest. anything would be better than suffocating on the rot he’s carried for years, the festering hunger inside him that wants, wants, wants. he wants to destroy you, even as he wants to protect you.
because that’s what love is, isn’t it? a holy contradiction, a knife that cuts both ways.
“you’re staring,” your voice pulls him from his reverie, soft and lilting, like the breeze through a field of wildflowers. but it’s more than that—it’s a blade. a quiet accusation that slices through the syrupy, oppressive air between you.
kai’s lips curl into something that might have been a smile if it wasn’t so broken. “admiring,” he corrects, his voice rough, almost reverent. “you’re—god, you’re perfect.” the word tastes like ash in his mouth, a curse that he spits out even as it carves itself into his ribs.
perfect. you’re perfect. and perfection was never meant for someone like him. it’s a thing to be corrupted, tainted, like the delicate petals of a lily crushed under the weight of a sinner’s hand.
it’s a wonder to be in love with something so pure, to taste the poison of his affection and still come back for more, knowing full well it will kill you. but kai has never been good at handling purity. you—you are the closest thing to divine he’s ever known. and in the marrow of his bones, he knows that divinity was never meant to be his salvation. it’s his damnation. you are the angel hovering just out of reach, untouchable, pristine.
yet his fingers twitch with the urge to possess, to destroy, because loving something so pure is a cruelty he cannot endure. but oh, how he wants to. god, how he wants to. his hunger is insatiable, a black hole that devours every good thing in its path. you are no exception, and the thought of your purity tarnished by his touch is both a thrill and a torment. he knows his love is a curse, a rot that will spread until it consumes everything good in you. but he can’t stop. he doesn’t want to stop. it’s grotesque, the way he wants you, not just to hold, not just to claim, but to consume. to taste your skin, your soul, your very essence, until there’s nothing left but the echo of you inside him.
he thinks of bloodied doves with broken wings, their feathers stained and fluttering uselessly as they collapse into the dirt. you are the dove. and he is the hand that will crush you.
"you’re such an angel," he whispers, his voice soft but laced with an edge of desperation. "can’t let anything hurt you." not even him.
but kai knows himself too well. he knows what he is, and what he will do. he’s going to hurt you—it's inevitable. this thing inside him, this rot, this insatiable hunger, won’t let you go unscathed. he feels like he's burning alive next to you, his desires consuming him, aching for your magic, for the essence of who you are. because even in ruin, even in the decay of what once was pure, you are the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen.
the walls press in, suffocating, and for a moment, it’s like kai is back in that house in portland. the walls feel closer now than they ever did then, pressing in with the weight of suffocating silence. back then, his father’s eyes seared through him, heavy with disdain, while his mother’s gaze flinched away, as though he were something contagious, something wrong. jo—jo was the golden child, their little miracle. her magic was a thing of beauty, something to be celebrated. but kai? kai was the rot. the flaw. the dark mistake they tried to prune out of the family tree.
he remembers the bitterness that clung to his father’s praise of jo, each word like a serrated blade slicing into him. he remembers the fear in his mother’s trembling hands, the kind of fear that wasn’t for him—but of him. and he remembers the hunger. it started back then, didn’t it? the dark, insidious thing that slithered under his skin, whispering its need for more, for power, for control. it terrified them, his family. it should have terrified him, too. but it didn’t.
that same darkness claws at him now, sinking its talons into his ribs as he stands here, staring at you.
there’s nothing in this world he wants more than you, and that’s the tragedy of it. because wanting you is the very thing that will destroy you both. his gaze is feverish, desperate, as he drinks in the sight of you. you are a canvas stretched too tight, ready to tear, and he is the knife poised to cut. he wonders if you see through him? can you see the monster lurking beneath the flesh, the beast that will devour you whole?
you’re his salvation, his damnation, all wrapped into one. and he can’t help but want to tear you apart, to consume you, to drag you down into the rot with him. because loving you—something so pure, so untouchable—is the cruelest thing he has ever known. yet, he can’t stop himself. his love is a poison, a venom that seeps into every crevice of his soul, and he knows it will destroy you. but still, he whispers, "i can’t let anything hurt you."
not even him.
the words taste like poison on his tongue, bitter and wrong, because he knows—he knows—he’s lying. he will hurt you. it’s inevitable. it’s in his blood, in the marrow of his bones, in the rot that has consumed him since he was a child. he’s an abomination, and you—you are his light. but light cannot exist without darkness, and in loving you, he knows he will snuff out the very thing that makes you divine.
as you step closer, the distance between you shrinking, he swallows hard, his hands trembling at his sides, itching to reach for you even though he knows what they’ll do. they’ve always been hands that destroy, hands that corrupt, hands that take and take until there’s nothing left. he tries to keep them still, to keep them from finding purchase on your skin, but he knows it’s futile. your magic hums in the air, a soft, tantalizing melody that calls to him, and he knows he is lost. lost in you, in this love that will be his undoing.
you don’t back away. you just watch him with those wide, unblinking eyes, shimmering like glass, like you can see the shattered pieces of him, like you understand. and it kills him. it kills him that you’re still standing here, that you’re not running, that you’re not screaming and cursing his name and leaving him to rot in the hell he built for himself.
instead, you reach out, your hand brushing against his cheek, and the softness of it nearly undoes him. his eyes, flutter shut as he leans into your palm, desperate, pathetic, weak. he wants to believe this moment can save him, that your purity might be enough to burn away the blackness festering inside him. but it can’t. he knows it can’t. purity was never meant to endure the likes of him.
and all he can think about is how much he wants to ruin you. to take this thing between you and twist it into something grotesque, something unrecognizable. he thinks about sinking his teeth into your throat, about the taste of your blood and magic on his tongue, about dragging you down into the dirt and smothering your light beneath the weight of his darkness. he wants to consume you, body and soul, until there’s nothing left of you but the pieces he’s claimed for himself.
his hands hover over your waist, trembling. he can’t do it. he shouldn’t do it. but god, he’s so hungry. so tired of fighting the thing inside him, the thing that whispers of sin and fire and ruin. you’re so close now, and he can feel your magic pulsing against his skin like a second heartbeat. he knows he’ll destroy you, but he doesn’t care.
because loving you is the cruelest thing he’s ever known. and if he has to tear you apart to keep you, then so be it.
the moment stretches, taut with the weight of his hesitation. his grip tightens, knuckles whitening as his hunger surges, a ravenous beast clawing at the back of his throat. it screams for more, demands that he take, take, take until there’s nothing left. each pulse of your magic against his skin feels like a siren’s call, a plea for him to drain you dry, to consume every last drop of your essence. the terror in his heart is eclipsed only by the twisted thrill of how much he wants to obey.
but you—you don’t move. you stand there, unflinching, your eyes locked on his, steady and knowing. it’s as if you can see every fractured piece of him, every dark corner he tries to hide, and yet you stay. that’s the cruelest part of all. you stay. you let yourself be held by the monster who will devour you without mercy. the weight of your trust presses down on him, suffocating, each breath a ragged gasp as his chest tightens, the air thick with the scent of lilies and ruin.
he can feel the rot inside him, crawling closer to the surface, whispering dark promises of destruction. it murmurs to him, tells him how easy it would be to give in, to let the hunger swallow him whole and take you with it. the thought is both intoxicating and horrifying, a bitter concoction of desire and dread. he knows it’s only a matter of time before it consumes you both, dragging you into the abyss with him.
“i don’t deserve this,” he whispers, his voice cracking, pitiful and raw. “i don’t deserve you.” his words falter as his forehead presses against yours, his breath hot and uneven against your skin. “you’re—fuck, you’re too good, too pure.”
his hands tremble against your waist, the restraint it takes not to crush you, not to let his darkness seep into your light, is nearly unbearable. his entire body aches with the weight of wanting you, needing you, but knowing he’ll ruin you. his voice turns desperate, a pitiful whine as he stammers, “i’m going to ruin you—i’ll ruin everything. i can’t… i can’t control it.”
but you don’t flinch. instead, you smile, soft and serene, as if his torment doesn’t unravel you, as if you don’t see the chaos he’s drowning in. that smile—it’s the cruelest kindness he’s ever known.
��mal,” you say gently, and the sound of his name from your lips, not kai, not malachai, but mal—it undoes him completely.
you cup his cheek with a tenderness that makes his chest ache, your touch grounding him, even as it tears him apart. “i want you here,” you say, voice soft but unwavering. “i want you with me.”
and then, as if to prove your own words, you move.
its not gentle, the way he kisses you back. there’s no softness, no hesitation. it’s raw, desperate, violent in its intensity. his lips crash against yours, his hands gripping your waist so tightly you’re sure there will be bruises—dark, painful reminders of this moment, of the monster he is. he’s devouring you, piece by piece, exactly like he swore he wouldn’t. but he can’t stop. he doesn’t want to stop.
your magic surges between you, a heady, electric pulse that sets his skin ablaze. its intoxicating, maddening, and he knows he’ll never get enough. he pulls you closer, as though he can fuse your bodies together, as though that will somehow quiet the hunger gnawing at his insides. the thing inside him roars in triumph, reveling in the taste of you, in the way your magic hums beneath his fingertips, in the way you give yourself to him so completely.
you make a soft sound against his mouth, something caught between a sigh and a moan, and it sends a jolt of pleasure and guilt straight through him. he shouldn’t be doing this. he shouldn’t be touching you, tasting you, letting himself fall deeper into this abyss. but he can’t stop. he doesn’t want to stop. you’re his now, and that knowledge is as thrilling as it is horrifying.
his hands roam over your body, desperate and greedy, as if he can’t get enough of you. the hunger inside him surges, a dark, insidious thing that whispers of sin and ruin, of consuming you whole. he wants to tear you apart, to feast on the light inside you, to make you his in the most brutal, irremediable way. he wants to see you unravel beneath his touch, to watch as the purity he so desperately craves is tainted by his darkness.
but then it happens—the siphoning. as your magic hums against his skin, he feels it, that dark, forbidden pull. his body reacts instinctively, drawing from you, leeching the life and power that pulses so vibrantly through your veins. his blue grey eyes widen, panic flashing across his face as he tries to pull away, to stop himself, but your hands hold him there.
you don’t pull away. you don’t stop him. your fingers tangle in his hair, pulling him closer, as if you’re offering yourself up to him, willing him to take what he needs. the sensation is euphoric, a twisted ecstasy that sends shivers down his spine. he knows he’s killing you, knows he’s draining you dry, but the hunger—oh god, the hunger—it’s too much. it consumes him, drives him to keep going, to take more, to take everything.
his lips press against your neck, teeth grazing the tender skin as he siphons your magic, his grip on you tightening. he can feel your light dimming, your body weakening, and yet you don’t pull away. you cling to him, your breath ragged, your heart pounding against his chest. you’re giving him everything, and it’s destroying you.
every touch, every kiss, every desperate gasp is a sacrilege, a desecration of something sacred. the rot inside him, festering for years, bubbles to the surface, and he knows he’s dragging you into it, pulling you down into the filth and decay of his soul. the scent of lilies turns acrid in his mind, a reminder of funeral flowers, of death and decay.

I find one thing funny. KFP fandom say that they don’t care about TDK, since it’s not canon, so that’s why they won’t watch it, but then turns out that LuthePo and KlaRuca exist and everybody turns out to care about the show more than enjoyers themselves xD

Tumblr media
You were tired. So damn tired that you could barely open your eyes as you slowly but surely slipped out of your dreams.
It took a while for you to come to your senses and realize what was going on.
„Fucking finally“, Ben grumbled against your neck as he heard your breathing quicken. You lay on your back, the blanket barely covering your naked body as Ben's hands took over the job. Your nipples were already hard when he pinched them. His rough hand ran from your tits across your stomach, down between your legs, leaving a trail of goosebumps.
“I've been waiting a fucking eternity... I'm not into necrophilia, you know?”. Your boyfriend was laying on his side, next to you, his lips still on your neck.
“Ben”, you sighed tiredly as you finally opened your eyes. Your gaze met his smirk as he leaned back a little to see your tired face. “I thought I fucking ruined you yesterday”, he pressed one of his thick fingers into you, groaning softly when he felt how wet you were. Your heart began to race almost immediately and your cheeks were flushed from the heat that suddenly rose within you. "But it seems like you just can't get enough”, he whispered before bringing his finger, which was buried in you, to his lips. Your breath hitched as you watched him lick your juices off his middle finger. “I bet your dream was just as fucking sweet as you”, he groaned.
With that, he climbed over you and pressed his lips to yours, so you could taste yourself on his lips.
“Ben…please…I’m beyond sore. Everything hurts”, you whined as he roughly pushed your legs apart and placed his head between your thighs. Ben just rolled his eyes at your plea and immediately pressed his tongue flat against your bundle of nerves, making your body tremble.
Ben wasn't a fan of foreplay, but he knew that without foreplay he had absolutely no chance of taking you anywhere close to how he liked.
“Stay the fuck still!”, he growled annoyed, pressing you harder into the mattress with his left hand.
“No…please”, you whined again, letting your head fall back into the soft silk pillow. Whether you wanted to or not, you had no chance. If Ben wanted something, he’ll get it.
“I’ll do the fucking work, so stop complaining like a little bitch”.
Before you could reply, Ben pushed his middle and ring finger inside you. As a sharp pain shot through your body, you inhaled sharply and dug your nails deep into his shoulder blades. Despite the tension in your abdomen, the pleasure overwhelmed you and you could feel yourself getting wetter and wetter. Ben wasted no time and began pumping his fingers into your wet heat. You didn't know why, but Ben was obviously quite impatient.
“I don’t think I-”. Before you could even finish your sentence, Ben pulled his fingers out of you and sat up a little. “You don’t need to think. You just have to fucking behave yourself and be a good girl for me. Can you do that?". His voice was as stern as his expression. A cold shiver ran down your spine as your eyes met. Your answer took too long, causing Ben to grab you by the jaw.
“Will you?!”, he repeated himself. Even though Ben loved you in his own strange way and would never really force you to pleasure him, you don’t wanted to deal with his attitude, if you denied him his fun now. “Yes”, you breathed quietly, earning a quick and satisfied kiss from your boyfriend.
Within a few seconds, Ben positioned himself between your legs. His gaze met yours again. His eyes narrowed as he listened more closely to your blood, heartbeat, and breathing. “I’m not going to fucking hurt you”, he growled annoyed before wrapping his right hand around his erection and using his left hand to brace himself next to your head. He positioned himself at your entrance and let his gaze fall between the two of you.
Slowly, far too carefully for his liking, he pushed himself into your tight, but thankfully wet pussy. “Shiiit”, you moaned loudly, gripping the sheets beneath you.
Ben licked his lips before speaking, obviously aroused by the sight of you completely exhausted and overwhelmed. He knew you liked a little pain during sex, so pushing you a little didn't faze him. “Look how fucking good you’re taking me”, he grinned down at you, kissing your forehead and calming you down a bit. You look up at him as he sat back up, his broad shoulders blocking the rays of sunlight coming through the huge window. You suppressed his questioning look by pulling Ben's face towards yours with both hands and pressing your lips to his. As your tongues battled for dominance, Ben pulled out of you, only to immediately sink himself back into you.
If your lips weren't stuck together, your screams would definitely have been heard all over the floor. But as it was, you both swallowed almost every moan from each other.
Only when he felt you slowly relax a little, his thrusts become faster and harder. Your pain has now mostly subsided and the room was filled with your moans and Ben's heavy panting mixed with the sound of his pelvis slapping against your wet clit.
“You’re fucking perfect”, Ben moaned in your ear before pressing his face into the crook of your neck. “So fucking tight”, he praised, barely audible as you began to clench around him and squeeze his cock.
“Ben… I’m-… shit!”, you moaned loudly as Ben spilled his cum into you with one firm and final thrust, making you moan his name over and over as you reached your high too.
Before you could catch your breath, Ben pulled out of you and stood up from the bed. His cum immediately drips out of you, down your thigh and onto the sheets. You rubbed your eyes and slowly sat up. Every single part of your body ached, and it was written all over your face. You pulled up your blanket, watching Ben walking to the door that most likely led to the bathroom.
“Ben?”, you whispered, completely exhausted, knowing that he could hear you. You would have followed him to find out why he was in such a hurry, but you were sure that if you had stood up now, your legs would have given out.
A few minutes later Ben came back in his supe suit. His eyes scanned the room. “Where’s my fucking shield?!”, he muttered and shoved his phone in his pocket.
“Where you going?”, you crawled a little further to the end of the bed, grabbed his hand and tried to pull your boyfriend towards you.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I thought we could have breakfast and spent some time together?". Your voice sounded so weak and exhausted that it surprised even yourself.
“Butcher has a lead on Homelander”, he finally looked at you. “Go and get cleaned up. I want your little pussy to be as shiny as possible when I get back”, his thumb brushed over your heated cheek. "Fuck. You look so fucking hot when you’re all messed up like that”. He grinned down at you, his thumb leaving your cheek and traveling to your swollen and bruised lips.
Ben leaned down and kissed you roughly when Butcher's voice sounded along with a knock on the door. “Oi buddy! Are you coming or what?!”. Ben just rolled his eyes, before kissing the top of your head. “I’ll be right back”, he whispered before heading to the door.
“Take care Ben”, you said quietly, watching him leave, still a little overwhelmed.
