Day 1 - Introduction
Tumblr media
Tamber ⭐️🪻
My main KH OC Tamber, created in 2007 and till this day I never stopped carrying on and developing her. I'm very fond of my purple starflower lady.  💜
She's motherly, shy, caring, and with poise, but better not to provoke her by putting any of her beloved people in danger.
She's from Radiant Garden, childhood friend of Lea and Isa. They form a trio together (either called Radiant Trio or Celestial Trio). 
Loves astronomy, books, and flower language.
Stars and flowers are her representative themes.

Day 2 - Past
Tumblr media
Tamber used to happily live along with her older sister and parents. Her days started to be even brighter since the moment she met her childhood friends Lea and Isa, when they all were just 5 years old.
Due to a dissension inside the family that made the members pass away, she became orphan at the age of 8: that event left a fracture inside of her. Lea and Isa were the only thing she could rely on and they supported each other no matter what, day after day.
Very soon enough, she is taken by Ansem the Wise at the castle -like Ienzo much time after. Her life would have become even harder from that point, passing most of the time studying and locked up.
She rarely could see her two friends, unless she would find a way to sneak out and meet with them.
During KHBBS however, when teenagers, she and Lea developed feelings for each other. They kept their relationship secret for the sake of Isa and their friendship, however he eventually found it out and, as predicted, he started to detach as he secretly also felt something for Tamber.
After losing Lea and Isa due to Terra-Xehanort and his experiment, Tamber became a Nobody out of despair and negative emotions, ending up being part of the Organization under the no. 0 (zero) rank.

*Leon sat listening to Riku Kairi and Sora talk about growing up on destiny islands*
Leon: wow…
Riku: what?
Leon: I just realised I had a bad childhood.
Kairi: yeah we know…
Leon: what do you mean you know?!
Sora: well look at you! People who had good childhoods don’t stand like that Leon.

For @radiantemperorweek Day 4, Brothers
“You’re my brother,” Esen frowns, that rare, frustratingly stubborn furrow forming between his brows. “It’s as simple as that.”
Baoxiang sniffs, idly waving the idea away and pretending to admire Ouyang’s graceful, economical, barely-restrained motion past Esen’s shoulder. “So you insist.”
The furrow deepens. “We share a father.”
“Did we?” Baoxiang asks, sharper than he intended. Irritation twists in his chest at Esen’s bewildered look. “It takes more than blood.”
“We have more than that!”
“What,” Baoxiang challenges, wrinkling his nose in distaste as Ouyang wordlessly extends his arm, “our vast array of shared interests and experiences?”
Esen reaches back to accept the offered mug without looking. “You had the same lessons! The same—”
“Slightly different performances, though, one might say,” Baoxiang cuts in, making his tone sardonic and droll as he pulls the embroidered cuffs of his sleeves just so.
The furrow returns. “That doesn’t matter.”
“No?” Baoxiang lets his eyes slide back to Ouyang. He wonders sometimes if Esen actually believes it. “Chaghan begs to differ.”
Esen hesitates, shifting in his seat. “He just says things sometimes, you know that.”
Baoxiang cuts Esen a scathing look before he can catch himself. “And what, shall I just disregard those things because he’s still my father? Because he bothered to put it down on a few papers?”
“A few—yes!”
Baoxiang presses his lips together and stares at Ouyang’s tight, erect back another moment, his white-knuckled hands. Then he turns to Esen, eyes narrowed. “And that’s what it takes then, for brotherhood?” he asks silkily, something hot and jagged seething in his chest as Esen hesitates again, wary. “A shared childhood and a shared parental figure, no matter how actually parental he was?”
“I—” Esen’s mouth works a moment and Baoxiang settles into the flare of triumph at the frustration lashing over Esen’s face like it always does when Baoxiang decides to set more than a quarter of his mind to stymieing him. “Yes!” Esen finally rallies, straightening with fresh bravado just as Baoxiang knew he would. “Yes, because that’s—”
“—what brothers are?” Baoxiang finishes for him, voice blandly curious, softly venomous, and Baoxiang watches with a dark kind of satisfaction as Esen startles as Ouyang slams out of the room, the ‘yes’ clearly caught in his throat, clearly sticking alongside the ‘no.’
“As simple as that,” Baoxiang finally says softly, sweeping away from the table with a swirl of fine robes and derisive toss of his head, leaving Esen frozen in his decision, something familiar and bitter in the back of his own throat as he traces Ouyang’s path away.

🪢 KH-OC Week 2024 🪢 - Day 6 Package
Tumblr media
Prompt: You're a magic girl. Draw yourself in a suitable Kingdom Hearts / Disney world.
Again my mind was giving me grief for this one, but then the opportune moment came for inspiration to seep through, and here is that drawing for @khoc-week Day 6 :3
Tumblr media
This was one of the times that Terra came through and he said he'd take me to Radiant Garden. And Riku decided to come along; the two main KH teddies as well.
Instead of the main KH3 outfit, I have drawn myself in the specific 'Radiant Garden' dress. Now where does this dress come from?
About a year or two ago, I set myself a series of challenges where I would try and manifest each KH-BBS world in my night time dreams, and I'd have to draw, at least to a close resemblance, whatever outfit I was wearing. This is the one that I was in for Radiant Garden.
Now back to Day 6's conversation point. Radiant Garden is obviously known in KH lore as the City of Light, and this is supposedly where Kairi comes from. I was considering also putting this world in my Day 5 preferences, but then I thought as per the prompt, what is Dinh-Yu going to do there? I don't really do much when I'm in Radiant Garden either.
BUT, my background on this world is that this is where I supposedly located Terra and intercepted into his timeline in the BBS parallel. After the situation fell apart with Aqua and consequentially Ventus, I knew I had to find Terra and I actually made him stop and listen before he left on his Keyblade glider to the next world. With Radiant Garden being the 'City of Light' and a magic world, it makes sense that this is the world where Terra saw potential in me or finally knew and/or took a liking to me as it were... Or at least took me onboard... Whichever parallel timeline wormhole we seem to follow at the time lol. I'm always shifting between timelines these days as you may have seen from days 3 to 5 😂
But yes, VERY fitting for Terra to catch me in an energy break and offer to take me to Radiant Garden. As well as the above story with him, he was also sadly involved when Xehanort used him to process Kairi in the lifeboats. So Terra also took me for some 'teaching'/bonding when we did an in-dream operation on his relationship with Kairi and he was talking about the events while we were in that world.
---
Riku gets very familiar with Radiant Garden in Kingdom Hearts 3 and then also KH-MoM, which is why he decided to tag along as well. But seeing as Dinh-Yu's prompt is about 'magic', Riku decided to step back and even encouraged Terra and I to have a moment of 'magic' in that world.
With the timeline that we're (me and KH) in, the emotion that Terra is expressing in the image is that he's grateful for me and all that I've contributed to his life. He's giving me a hopeful look that Ven will become more independent and/or cluey and find his way back to us, and that Aqua will eventually have a change of heart and we can 'transcend' to 'Kingdom Hearts' [end of KH3; like Eraqus and Xehanort] as a foursome. Terra is hopeful for The Wayfinder Trio +1.
As a dream guide, Riku is also due to 'transcend', but he's obviously not in the circle of Terra's Land of Departure crew.
---
Admin note: Now again due to the in-character craziness of mid-OC-Week and a few helpful revelations that this event has brought on re. Terra, Dinh-Yu has changed the prompt for Day 7, but we'll still be 'eating good' as the mainstream of my generation like to say. To rev up and keep excitement, the main prompt of the package won't be revealed until the day and moment it is addressed 😊

Scenarios of the alt bbs timeline that come to mind that I wanna make cause they're fun and I want more scenes of the polyfinder trio hanging out:
-the ending of Castle of Dreams where Aqua asks if she can try on the glass slipper but Terra's at the top of the staircase facepalming cause there's no way they'd let her try it on
-Ven learning about the Unversed because I don't know why there wasn't a few lines of him in canon wondering what they are
-Ven being able to come up with a world order excuse to Phillip cause Terra and Aqua can't think of anything
-Terra and Aqua noticing Ven's outfit in Dwarf Woodlands and complimenting him about it
-Ven coping with finding out he's an accomplice in Snow White's murder
-Terra and Aqua wanting to go after Snow White in the woods but Terra's worried he might lose control and take her heart
-these mofos actually sitting down and having a conversation without any misunderstandings and shit

young god! shouto, with a burning hatred for his father, lord of the underworld. laurels split in colour neatly, like the rest of him, and now that he’s learnt the truth about his mother, he finally understands why. the prince knows his father won’t just let him leave the underworld, the scar covering his face a grim reminder of when he first tried. but, really, he should have known it would only make shouto try harder to reach the surface, and thereby his mother.
leaving alternating footprints of fire and ice behind him, he climbs through tartarus, asphodel and elysium, fighting vanquished foes and slain heroes alike. but he’s no longer alone, for his quest has reached the eyes and ears of olympus.
on his journey he receives the blessings of various gods, whether it’s his father’s bright-smiling brother, excitedly talking about how his own son can’t wait to meet him, or a radiantly golden god carried by crimson wings, who barely slows down long enough to muster the prince like he’s looking through him at someone else.
shouto half expects, half dreads to find a peek of white or a flash of cerulean eyes among the shades that cross his path. even by the time he comes to face his father one last time, the young god is not sure if it’s a good thing he saw no such shade at all…
hear me out… bnha x hades

Tumblr media
The hot Miami heat bared the warmth of a deep-emotion smile at dawn but as night fell, it raged into an inferno, chaotic and wild. It charred and blistered the abode floor, once chilled by seasonal rains and engulfed the city with a tragic blaze.
Even in the heatwave, Miami bustled with life, men and women toiled across the dancefloor, their bodies weary and scorched beneath yards of thin fabric. They jived and boogied to the setlist with as much passion as their drunken states could emote and drank to their hearts' content. At the end of the night, they busted through the doors into the artificial glow of street lamps, staggering, failing to hail an Uber or move on to the next attraction. In the charcoal night, Miami Beach weaved together crowds of partygoers and workers alike, as the early morning sunshine threatened to peek through the sky.
(name) hissed and hollered her way out of the nightclub as her heels clicked onto the pavement.
She had worn them for the sake of fashion. The open-toed stilettos were to die for; they matched perfectly with her mini dress and petite shoulder bag. But now as she waddled, her feet were paying the price. The four-inch stilettos were not meant for walking, the leather straps dug into her skin and the arch pinned tiny knives into her feet. Each step she took sent a shockwave of pain through her feet.
Adjusting her stride, (name) attempted to distribute her weight more evenly into the shoe. It made little difference but she would make it work– the night was young and she had a couple more hours in her.
Straightening her shoulders, (name) fixed her bag and quickened her pace, walking in conjunction with her friend.
“Where are we going?” She had spoken out between anxious breaths, inwardly wincing at the pressure dented into her toes.
“Um…..” Kayla stared into her phone. “Nightingale, Candace said she’ll meet us there.”
“How far is it?”
“Just a couple blocks down. We’ve been there before, remember?”
“I do,” (name) huffed. “It's just– my feet are killing me. I don’t know how much longer I can take this Kayla. I’m tired.”
Kayla stopped, causing (name) to falter in haste as she slowly turned. She faced her friend, boring her eyes into hers, her lips forming into a hard line. She gripped her friend’s arm, holstering her close and darted her pointer finger to her.
“You,” She began slowly, her voice was low at first but grew louder and more boisterous as she glared into (name). “Are not going anyway, do you understand? Today is our night, our night to go out, get drunk and do something stupid, okay? No shoe and no bitch is ruining our night, comprende?”
“Sí. Sí. I understand.” (name) replied shortly, hiding a smile between her teeth.
“Good.” Kayla nodded, tucking her arm around (name’s).
The pair beelined across the strip, accustoming themselves amongst the crowds of partygoers pulling and pushing their way across South Beach. They found Candace waiting by the entrance, looking radiant in a yellow, mini-dress, her wind-tousled hair fell over her shoulders.
“Hey!” She exclaimed, giving them each a hug. “I’m so glad you’re here.”
The bouncer let them in without hesitation, ushering the trio past the long, ascending line trickling across the street, and they made their way towards the bar. The music blared and pulsated from wall to wall and the stage lights flared and spun above them.
“So….where’s this boyfriend of yours at?” Candace asked inquisitively, sipping on her margarita. She wriggled her eyebrows playfully and passed a simple glance at (name’s) phone as she placed it on the bar, a picture of her boyfriend printed on her lock screen.
“Somewhere,” (name) shrugged. “He wasn’t home when I left for Kayla’s place.”
“So you snuck out?” Kayla jeered, propping her chin atop her hand. “You never told me that.”
(name) shook her head. “Nah, it's nothing like that–”
“Wait— this means you can stay out!” Candace bellowed happily.
“Of course I can–”
“No more talking, let’s dance!”
Candace shot up from her seat, slamming her drink on the bar counter, and reigned her hands around Kayla and (name). She wrung them out from their seats with the strength of a colossal giant and tugged the two towards the dancefloor, declaring the two move to the rhythm of the song.
It took a while – a couple of short seconds before Kayla and (name) joined Candace in dance. The three danced in conjunction with each other, keeping close to their circle with a light bounce from side to side and trigger fingers.
As the night wore on, the air grew thicker and (name) and her friends were tipsier. The club music had grown louder and more intense as the DJ turned to play Sexyy Red and the crowd had begun to surge forward in retort to the sharp change in tempo and pitch. The crowd was like a tide, rolling in and out, its rhythm intermittent to the beat.
No more did the throbbing of her feet cloud (name’s) mind; the blend of a rhubarb fizz and vitality was a deterrent. With her closest friends surrounding her, (name) felt at ease, her smile so wide and bright, that she feared it would become permanent.
She rocked her hips, her hands travelling across her thighs and slowly craned forward. She held onto her legs, shaking her thighs as motion rippled across her calves and ascended towards her ass. (name) shook her bottom with a smize, moving her cheeks with such fluid, curvaceous motions it left nothing to disguise that the skirt of her dress began to hike. Undaunted, she continued to move, placing a careful hand between her cheeks as the other tugged her dress down.
So young and so free, (name) craned herself upwards and placed her hands against her chest. She bopped from side to side, twirling her hips gingerly and scored her hands across her breasts and middle. She looked heavenward at the ceiling, the club roof clouded by bright, neon lights and flashes, she squeezed her eyes shut in retort. She dropped her head and opened her eyes, bouncing on the balls of her feet before letting out a raring shrill.
The night flew by in a blur of music, laughter and good company. And by 2 am, the club slowed and the crowd began to disperse. Exhausted but exhilarated, they left the club and amidst themselves between the sea of bodies flooding out from the club.
Letting out a refreshed sigh, (name) turned to her friends. Her hair was dampened, her hot-rod curls once full of life and shine, had dropped, now frizzy and weightless. The fabric of her dress had clung to her sticky skin and her bag was hung at the edge of her shoulder.
“I’m so lit right now,” she moaned, closing her eyes. She wobbled on her two feet, swaying from side to side, pressing her weight onto one shoe and when she threatened to stumble to the side, hauling her weight onto the other.
“Me too,” Kayla replied, stumbling over Candace. She clung onto the woman, grasping onto her dress and pressed herself against the wall.
“I….I think–” Candace couldn't help but giggle to herself, dropping her head.
(name) smacked her lips, her eyes slowly peeling open and peered at the two women. She swallowed deeply, curling her lips in practice before she spoke. “You girls….wanna head off to Oasis?”
“Yeah.”
Both Kayla and Candace hummed in agreement and staggered to height. They adjusted themselves, sheepishly picking at each other, one fixing the other’s hair and the other fixing her dress as (name) collected her belongings into her bag.
“Aye!” A voice began. It was deep and hoarse, breathy as his mouth approached a few more words. “Aye miss!”
Though inebriated, (name) couldn’t mask her quickening discomfort as his heavy footsteps rattled behind her.
She tensed, hiking her shoulders and carefully turned. She wore a tight smile on her face, a mask of politeness.
“Yes?”
The man was tall, handsome, and smelt good. And yet, he failed to strike (name). As she stood before him, swaying from left to right, he grinned, bewitched by her charming features and supple figure.
He smiled at her, his eyes never leaving hers. “I just wanted to tell you that you looked good.”
(name) shook her head and waved her hand, feigning appreciation. “Thank you.”
“You know, I was watching you, inside, dancin’ and shit,” He laughed, tossing his head back. “You can shake that ass pretty good.”
“Thank you–”
“And I– lemme get your number.” His words were quick and sharp; his intent was clear.
“Oh,” she tittered, throwing a glance at her friends. “Well…I’m sorry but I’ve got a boyfriend–”
“You’ve got a boyfriend….” He repeated sullenly. He laughed heartily as if (name) had said the funniest thing ever and shook his head.
“Listen,” He began, swiping his tongue across his bottom lip. “I know it doesn’t seem like it, but I promise you I ain’t no weirdo. No bear here.”
Kayla was prompt in grabbing (name’s) hand, making no effort to hide her disgust. She moved from behind her, Candace following in tow, and attempted to pull the girl along. “C’mon (name) let's go.”
Like a colossal giant, both the man and his voice grew towers tall. He gripped (name’s) arm and jerked her back. “Aye, I wasn’t done talkin’!”
(name) yelped, stumbling over her feet and sharply jeered her head at the man. “What the fuck are you doing?!”
“Just give me your number.” He demanded, digging his nails into her skin.
(name) profusely shook her head, quickly sobering up and attempted to pull away. “Let go!”
No more did the nice guy act continue, the man once cheerful and hopeful, sneered at (name), puffing out her chest and flaring his nostrils. He was quick to insult her, hurling a hail of curses aimed at her figure as he fiercely yanked her backwards, swinging her frame towards him.
“Fucking bitch!” He cursed at the top of his lungs, splatters of spit flailing out from his mouth. “You bitches are always too full of yourselves! Wanna act all uppity when a man wants to talk to you!”
“Then fucking let me go! The fuck!” By then, amidst the chaos, a crowd had gathered. Like a mob of meerkats, they gawked, gasped and videoed in disbelief at the rage pelting from the colossal of a man. They watched, uttering words of discomfort and dismay as (name) attempted to rear herself away from the man, thrusting herself against Kayla as she pulled her forward.
“I didn't even want to holler at your ugly ass anyways!” He roared, his voice loud and menacing.
“Oh my fucking god! Let me go! I don’t want to fucking talk to your stupid ass!” (name) shrieked back. Her eyebrows furrowed together and her lips pulled into an irritated scowl.
“Nah you fucking listen to me, bitch!” His voice erupted out from the vessels of his throat like a disgorging volcano, propelling a warcry in the wake of a lava-filled avalanche, in the form of a fist.
In a few short seconds, the colossal revolved free his arm, balling his into a fist and drew it back. He reigned his fists forward, fuelled with fury and humiliation, and swung at (name), striking her in the jaw.
She staggered to her floor with a loud yelp, the contents of her purse pooling across the floor. Both Kayla and Candace circled (name) in protest, pulling into their embrace as the colossal hovered above, jeering.
Candace gasped, her eyes were wide, her mouth agape as she held (name’s) face between her palms. “(name)!” She cried, fretting her fingers across her face. “Are you okay?”
Sore but unharmed, (name) could manage a nod, nursing a hand to her swelling jaw. “I’m…I’m okay.”
Candace shot her head up and leered up at the colossal begrudgingly, shrieking. “What the fuck is wrong with you?!”
Rapidly, she climbed onto her feet, jumping between the colossal and her friend’s dazed figure, and glowering, waving her pointer finger and screeching like a banshee. “Do you like putting your hands on fucking defenceless women?! Huh! Do you think that’s okay?!”
“Aye, shut the fuck up! That bitch got what she fucking deserved—”
The neigh of engines and the screeching of hot tyres hailed across the strip, and the sound had bequeathed a play of silence across the beach.
The once vivacious party strip, nestled with drunk partygoers and deafening music, had quickly shimmered into silence. And all that sounded was the row of heavy footsteps mounting from the street onto the sidewalk. The footsteps marched into the crowd, dispersing the tide and began to section off each corner one by one as the clatter of a single pair of boots trotted forward.
Armando stared at (name), his face firm, and carefully crouched to his knees. It was a while before he spoke, his voice deep and guttural, his eyes boring into hers. “Are you okay?” Slowly, he brought his hands to her face and brushed his thumb against her jaw, the surface of her wound spreading purple with yellow blotches, and when she cowered back his expression darkened.
(name) could only utter a wary whisper, her eyes darting between him and the colossal behind him. “…yes.”
Inhaling deeply, Armando rose to height, hauling his girlfriend up to her feet. He held her hand in his, offering a forgiving glance and turned.
He clambered away from (name), his shoulders taunt and chin heavenward. Armando was angry– enraged. He did a good job of hiding it, but (name) knew the signs.
He wired his neck, rearing it from side to side and heaved slowly, his chest rising and falling. Every muscle on his face tightened, his eyes narrowed, and his chin jutted outward.
He approached the colossal, his arms pinned behind his back and gave him a once-over, sizing him up.
He blinked, parting his lips slowly, and then blinked again. “Do we have a problem?”
The colossal shook his head and feigned a hearty laugh, his pupils flared and mouth twisted. “Nah man, we’re cool–”
“Let me ask you again,” Armando snarled slowly, gritting his teeth together. “Do we have a problem?”
“Listen, man, I can assure you there’s no problem here–”
Armando sucked at the air like it had suddenly become thick and shut his eyes. He’d become deaf to his galling words, his rapid chatter professing a tale of ignorance and regard, a rapid back-tracking to his previously tough stance. And by then, his anger was irreversible.
He lunged at him; pummelling, hitting. Each hit landed with a sickening thud, the blow between skin and fist astounding. The man had swung back, wailing his fists in the air, but succumbed to the force of Armando’s blows. His movements were swift and silent, spectral. The pivot of his feet from place to place was incorporeal. He was impenetrable evading each wild blow before he swung again.
Armando flitted around the man, his movements a blur of speed and precision and winded his knee upwards. It prodded into his middle, driving into his chest, and sent him stumbling backwards, off-balance. His tumble left an opening, a gap between his face and Armando’s revolving leg.
He took the opening, rearing his leg upwards and swung it forward, striking. A rapid combination of punches and kicks followed, each came and landed with more precision and power till the colossal succumbed to near-coming death. He crumbled to the ground, in a grotesque mess of blood. His eyes were swollen over and bloody spit drooled from his slack jaws. He was now as revolting as he should be, finally, the outside reflected the spoiled man within.
Armando stood victorious over the bloody mess that was his adversary and sneered at him with such venom and disdain. He crouched down, his knuckles wounded with welts and stained with blood, not of his own, and grabbed his shirt, his grip like a vice.
He pulled him towards him, his face taut with rage and displeasure, and glowered over him. Under his grip, the man hung like cattle, his limbs astray as blood sputtered from out his mouth.
Armando rubbed his lips, swivelling on the balls of his feet, and gnashed his teeth together, chiding grimly. “You see..” he shook his head, his nostrils flared. “If it wasn’t for her…”
He turned to (name), lugging the man along and pointed. He leaned into his ear, his voice began small as a whisper and bubbled into a rue of senile and ghastly distaste. “…I’d kill you….”
“Consider this a warning–” Armando released his grip, the man flailing back onto the ground, and stood back on his feet. “You fuck with her, you fuck with me.”
He scowled, whipping his hands and leered at the crowd before him. In a stop-start fashion, one by one, the crowd fizzled out in groups of threes, fours, and fives. Song and chatter fizzled back across the strip in small bites and vivid hues flashed across the beach.
Armando turned to (name), his face closed up and extended his arm. He reached for her, placing her hand in his palm and grasped it tenderly. He held her hand to her face and wrapped her wound beneath her hand. He looked at her as her gaze trembled, her shoulders shivering and tugged her towards him. He held her in his arms, his tight embrace swelled around her middle and carefully coaxed (name) away.
Despite the return of vibrance and euphoria flooding across the party strip, an unsettling mist hung over. A monochrome of silver glanced over the black night. There was an uncharacteristically grim line etched across the faces of those among the dispersing crowd, a sense of sadness, remorse, dismay and dread.
Armando Aretas was not to be toyed with— and neither was she.

💫 Redraw
In BBS when they were able to see each other, they would spend the time together by playing frisbee, chat, or even napping, as they were used to lay on the flower beds and gardens. 💜
My comfort trio is my everything 😭
Had the random idea to redraw also this other old bad artwork from ages ago (around 2019) when I was wasn't daring to use Nomura style much yet as I was very insecure, everything was still very much in my own style only and barely in digital too 💀 I would even make everything out of watercolors as I literally started IG more than a decade ago with that very technique, and graphite + copic markers. Happy I could develop more.

PART 1 - PART 2 - PART 3 (NSFW) - PART 4 - PART 5 (NSFW) - PART 6 - PART 7 (NSFW) - PART 8 (NSFW)
You started having the dream again. The disembodied eyes of your father floating in a black void. Just the eyes. Nothing else.
And for hours- and it really felt like hours- they would just stare at you. The eyes never moved, or blinked, or did anything other than hang in the air. But there was a terrible sense of dread when you looked into them. You couldn’t force yourself to look away.
And so that was why you had been losing sleep. You didn’t tell your mother that though. When she asked what troubled you, you made up some excuse to quell her worry. You could never tell her the truth; the truth that there was some piece of you left which never recovered. But guilt nearly destroyed your mother, and you couldn’t bear to let it fester in her any longer.
On Sunday you spread all of the ingredients the orc man gave you across your table. He didn’t even tell you the measurements. Your mother glanced down at you as she made her way to the root cellar. She stopped in her tracks, “By the Gods, are you making golden eggs?” You cocked your head at her questioningly. “Where did you find turmeric all the way out here?” She grabbed a pinch of it, “And so much of it too!”
“Uh-“ Your mother had a sparkle in her eyes that you hadn’t seen for a few years. She chuckled to herself, “Years ago. Many many years ago. There was a very nice orc family who lived just down the path. The wife taught me this recipe.”
Orc family? This was the first you have heard of an orc family. “You never told me you had orc friends Ma!” You jeered at her. She smiled warmly. “You hadn’t been born yet, of course you wouldn’t have remembered. Your elder sister loved playing with the little orc girl.” She reached for a jar from the cupboard and began concocting the mixture. When she was done the eggs swirled around in the vibrant yellow brine.
There was still turmeric left over, and your mother was so excited to show you how it could even be an excellent clothing dye. She took one of your more drab frocks got to work.
~
You weren’t used to feeling pretty. Sure, you knew you weren’t ugly by any stretch of the imagination. But to feel pretty? Beautiful even? It had been years.
But today, on regular Monday, you felt radiant. Your mother actually gasped when you stepped out of your room. You looked like a dream in the yellow shade your mother had dyed the fabric. She insisted on arranging your hair specially to go with the dress. “It’s just another Monday, Ma. Any more primping and I’ll be over-dressed.” The older woman sighed, kissing you on the forehead, “Fine go along now… before I start braiding daisies in your hair.” You giggled and practically skipped out the front door. Tucked in your basket was the jar of golden eggs.
The town square was nearly vacant, save for a few other shopkeepers opening up for the day. And then you saw the trio of orc men sharpening their arrows and adjusting the tension of their great longbows. You reckoned they were just about to leave for a hunt. Curse the Gods for your lingering gaze, but you made direct eye contact with one of them. You made direct eye contact with him. The orc you had bloodied and bruised the previous week.
Something (probably a lack of self-preservation) compelled you to start walking towards the bunch. If your mother could make peace with orcs, why couldn’t you? “But this isn’t a peaceful family with children, they’re trained killers, y/n…” You thought to yourself. The little muscle inside your chest was puttering away as you got closer. The two other hunting mates had started to notice your approach now. Your orc acquaintance had sort of a surprised yet dumb look on his face as you stopped before him.
”You didn’t write me a recipe, but you can thank my mother for knowing how to prepare these.” You extended the jar to him. His friends were snickering to themselves, and the orc just sat there staring at the contents of the jar. One of his buddies guffawed and whacked a big hand onto his back, “This simpleton can’t read to save his life… won’t be getting any recipes from him!”
You also held out the two silver pieces he had given you, and dropped them into his open palm. “And I can’t take these. Not after I injured you. Can we consider ourselves even now?”
“Khargaad, you didn’t tell us this was who the scuffle was with.” The other orc friend chuckled, “And look at that, not a scratch on her. Guess she won.”
Khargaad. Was that his name? Or was it a word in their mother tongue? He shot a venomous look to his friends, and with that they backed away leaving the two of you alone. “These look… like they’re supposed to,” He said in a tone of mild surprise. “Your mother… She knows other orcs?”
Was he trying to make conversation with you? “Um- Yes! Yes, it was a long while ago. They lived down the road from my family. It was before I was born, but they got along well from what I hear,” you replied. There was a deeply awkward pause before he glanced quickly at your dress. “Oh!” You gasped, “my mother taught me about this as well. The yellow stuff you gave me is an excellent clothing dye.”
“Yes, I know.” His tone was a little gruff. You felt foolish for telling him what he probably already knew. “Your name is Khargaad?” You blurted out. A hint of color rose to his cheeks, “Yup. Khargaad. And- um- what may I call you?”
”y/n,” you replied with a nervous smile. Silence hung over the both of you for a second. “Well, I’ll be on my way.” He said, turning on his heel to join his hunting mates. “Stay safe out there!” You responded. Your inner-self cringed, that reply was probably too familiar. He glanced back at you one more time before jogging to catch his friends.
~
The next day Milo found you sweeping outside the shop. “Why were you talking to those orcs?” He spat at you. You didn’t look up at him, “Just customers.” This technically wasn’t untrue.
”You don’t have orc customers”
”Says who. You?” You snorted at him, pushing the dust from the cobblestones onto his shiny leather boots. He yanked the broom from your grasp, “Why are you wearing that?” He hissed. You glared at him, wrenching the broom back from his grasp. “It’s none of your fucking business-“
“Let me buy you new dresses, y/n. You look like an orc.” You straightened a bit. “What do you mean?” Milo rolled his eyes. “It’s turmeric. They often dye their clothes with turmeric. It looks ridiculous if you ask me…” He trailed off. You were tired of this conversation, leaving him standing in the street. He didn’t bother to follow you inside.
The rest of the day was uneventful. You spent the last hour hammering some boards over the window still shattered from your target practice.
You didn’t notice Karghaad watching you across the square.

Looked to the Sky - Chapter 19
Summary: 
Eira Archeron was neither a Valkyrie, nor a Seer, nor the High Lady of the Night Court. She was, however, Azriel‘s mate with her own mysterious, untrained powers.
Also known as: Azriel tries to court his mate the human way.
Warnings: 
THIS IS THE LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE SEQUEL! SO READ THAT FIRST IF YOU WANNA READ THIS ONE OTHERWISE THIS MAKES NO SENSE!
Mention of domestic violence and without @k-godling this would have never happened.
(super pretty dividers by @tsunami-of-tears)
Tumblr media
The day was perfect.  It dawned bright and clear...the perfect wintery day.
"You are nervous," Cassian teased him. Azriel just glared at him.
"Of course, I am," Azriel gave back with a growl.
"And here I thought you had nerves of steel," Cassian's voice dripped with a smirk as he helped Azriel adjust his shirt for the millionth time.
"I do," Azriel shot back. "Or did you forget this morning? When I knocked you on your ass?"
"You caught me off guard," Cassian protested.
Azriel let out a snort, smoothing down his shirt.
"Yeah right," he said with a roll of his eyes. "Keep telling yourself that, brother."
"I like seeing the all-mighty Shadowsinger be reduced to a terrified groom," Cassian snickered.
"I am not terrified," Azriel protested. "I have seen battle. I've fought gods and lived to tell the tale. I can handle some flowers, and some guests, and some vows."
"Yeah, but you can't handle your pretty little mate in a wedding dress, can't you?" Cassian asked with a grin.
Azriel couldn't stop the heat that rose to his cheeks as the mental image of Eira in a wedding dress popped into his mind.
Of course, he couldn't hide the flush of his skin from Cassian, who started laughing at the sight.
"You're blushing," Cassian accused, a wide grin on his face.
Azriel shot him a glare, smoothing down his shirt again.
"Keep telling yourself that in order to feel better about your ass being handed to you this morning," he grumbled.
Cassian was still chuckling as they heard the sound of the door opening, revealing Rhys, who was clad in his own wedding finery.
The High Lord had a smug look on his face that Azriel didn't like the look of at all. "Finally got the groom into his clothes, I see," Rhys said, shooting Azriel a grin.
And then, his eyes were immediately pulled to his mother, standing in the doorway. Rhys had gone to fetch her just now.
She was dressed in her own finery, and she looked more radiant than Azriel had seen her in years. Her hair was braided back and pinned up, and even her green eyes were bright and shining as she looked over the trio of males.
She immediately came over and smoothed a hand over Azriel's hair, adjusting his shirt as he had done.
"You look perfect," she told him. "Handsome as ever."
Azriel's heart clenched at his mother's words, and he had to fight off a sudden wave of nervousness, even as Cassian clasped him on his back as he backed off. 
"Are you...sure you're alright?" he asked his mother quietly. She didn't often leave the safety of Rosehall. Esmeray just gave him a look. 
"I'm perfectly fine," she told him reassuringly, patting his cheek affectionately. "And you'll do great today."
Azriel felt a flush rising to his cheeks at her words and the affection in her voice, and he ducked his head to hide it.
"Thank you, Ma," he whispered quietly. "And you look stunning," he said quietly, his eyes sweeping over her blue dress and the hair pinned up with sparkling pins.
His mother's eyes softened, a fond smile on her face as she gently pinched his cheek as if he were a little kid instead of the fearsome shadowsinger.
"You'll make me cry," she said, her voice still soft. "And you don't want me to show up to the wedding with a red nose and puffy eyes, do you?"
Azriel managed to laugh, gently covering her hand on his cheek with one of his own.
"Absolutely not," he teased gently. "It would ruin the whole occasion."
His mother laughed at that, patting his cheek again before she reached up to fix the buttons of his jacket, and he tried not to twitch at the fussing.
He was the spymaster, for Cauldron's sake. But here he was, blushing at his mother's affection and letting her fix his clothes like he was still a child.
"You look wonderful," his mother said to him, her eyes searching his face. "I have seen you as a warrior, and as a spymaster. Today...today I will see you as a husband."
His heart stuttered a bit at the words, and he had to fight to keep himself steady, forcing down the sudden wave of nervousness that threatened to consume him.
"And..." he began, his voice coming out a little rough. "Do I...measure up to husband standards?"
His mother chuckled at that, gently patting his chest.
"You've always been more than enough for me," she said warmly. "And you've always strived to be enough for yourself. But that beautiful girl you asked to marry you? She thinks you hung the moon and the stars. For her? You are everything."
He swallowed.
His mother cocked her head to the side. "What's wrong, darling?" She asked him quietly.
"I don't...I don't want to be like him," he whispered.
Realization flashed through his mother's eyes at his words, and she paused for a moment.
"You are nothing like him," she said firmly. "Not one thing like him. Not in your words, not in your actions, not in your heart.
"I look just like him," Azriel disagreed. Just like his father.
His mother's eyes softened again, and she reached out to cup his face in her hands.
"You have his nose, my darling, and your hair is the same tone of black..." She paused for a moment, staring into his green eyes. "...but that is where the similarities end. Your father was cruel to me. Brutal even. He took joy in hurting me, and you. But you, my dearest boy, are the opposite.  "
"I did things," he admitted, a hoarse breath escaping him. "Things that..."
His mother gently shushed him, running a hand through his inky black hair.
"None of us are perfect, my darling," she whispered. "And none of us have perfect pasts. I won't tell you that what you did was right, but you're not him. You are a good man. A better man than your father ever was."
Azriel felt his shoulders relax slightly at his mother's words, and he took in a deep, steadying breath.
"I just want to be good to her," he whispered, his voice almost cracking with emotion. "I need to be. I want to be good to Eira."
His mother looked like she wanted to hug him then and there, but she settled for gently stroking his hair again, her expression warm and kind.
"I know, my sweet boy," she told him gently. "You already are. And if you are good to her, and care for her, and treat her like the precious gift that she is, then you are nothing like your father. Nothing at all like him."
Azriel let out a shuddering breath, taking a step forward and hugging his mother for a brief moment, burying his face in her dark hair.
"Thank you," he whispered as he pulled back slightly, his voice still hoarse. "Thank you so much."
His mother smiled again, gently patting his cheek one final time.
"Now go get married, my darling," she said. "And be happy with your wonderful mate."
Azriel had to fight the sudden burning in his eyes, and he looked down, afraid that his eyes might give him away.
But then a second pair of hands were on his shoulders, and he lifted his head up, seeing Rhys next to him.
"A little bird told me that you'd need this right about now," Rhys said, producing a glass of amber-coloured liquor.
Azriel couldn't help but let out a little bark of laughter at the sight, grabbing the glass and taking a long, slow swig of the liquor.
It burned going down, and he coughed as the alcohol hit his tongue. But it was good, and helped ease the nerves and the ache in his chest.
***
For all the thoughts that Eira had had about wanting a husband and children...she had never really thought about how it would feel to get married.
She never had had thoughts about a poufy white dress and flowers...
But here she was. Letting Azriel's shadows weave snowdrops into her hair, as she was perched at her vanity table. 
It was almost like a dream...like something out of a storybook. A beautiful wedding dress fit for a fairytale, flowers woven into her hair, and a mate waiting to speak his vows.
This...this was something beautiful.
The last snowdrop was added to the others in her caramel brown hair, their shimmering white petals almost glowing against her hair.
Eira stared into the mirror as the shadows moved back, her breath catching in her chest as she saw the flowers...and how beautiful all of it, all her was.
She was almost afraid to look up, afraid to look away from the mirror, her hands clenching against each other.
"You look beautiful," Feyre said softly from where she was sitting on the bed, Nyx on her lap.
"What about jewellery?" Nesta asked her. She hadn't even finished the sentence, before the shadows had already brought her that velvet box from Solstice.
At the sight of the black velvet box, she felt her heart clench in her chest, a bittersweet pang of affection moving through her.
The shadows placed the box in her hand, and she undid the latch, lifting the lid and gazing at the shining pearls, the glittering diamonds.
They were the most beautiful things she had ever seen, shining against the backdrop of the black velvet. Gorgeous.
Eira picked up the necklace first, carefully clasping it around her throat.
The bracelet was next, her hands shaking a little as she struggled to fasten the delicate clasp.
And then…then they opened the drawer of her vanity table and pulled out another velvet box. That velvet box. Those pearl earrings. The earrings.
“I can’t wear them,” Eira protested quietly. “I don’t have…”
But then the shadows already opened the box. We had them fixed. They are clip-on earrings now. No need for your earlobes to be pierced.
Eira stared, shocked, at the earrings.
Her throat was suddenly tight, and she had to swallow down the sudden lump in her throat as she looked down at the earrings.
They were absolutely gorgeous. She had thought that from the first time she had seen them. Pearl and Diamond. Simple and elegant.
They were perfect.
And the shadows had altered them for her. Changed them into clip-on earrings, so that she wouldn't have to get her ears pierced.
They had gone to the extra effort for her, had wanted to make sure that she could wear them, even without her getting her ears pierced, and...it was more than a little overwhelming.
“Thank you,” she whispered, biting back the tears. “Thank you.”
It was ridiculous, how such a small thing could nearly make her tear up...but it was just so thoughtful, such a sweet, meaningful gesture, for a stupid little pair of earrings, and -
The shadows twined around her, giving her a reassuring little nudge, wrapping themselves around her with a gentle squeeze almost like a hug.
She could finally wear Azriel's gift.
She exhaled, the motion shuddering and a little unsteady as she just stared at the earrings in her hands.
They were just...beautiful, and so very thoughtful, even more so now that the shadows had gone to such great lengths to make them accessible to her. So that she would be able to wear them, without having to go through the trouble of getting her ears pierced.
It was so...thoughtful...so considerate...It...It was almost painful, how much this small thing meant to her.
They tightened them on her earlobes and then brushed against her cheeks. 
She almost didn't notice that Feyre had gotten up until the High Lady of the Night Court stood behind her and put an arm around her waist.
"You look gorgeous," Feyre told her for the second time, a gentle smile on her face. "So beautiful."
Eira's breath caught in her chest as she stared into the mirror, seeing her reflection. The pearls and diamonds. The snowdrops. .
Feyre was right...she looked beautiful.
And she wasn't even wearing the best part yet.
The Dress.
The dress that she had made...that she had designed was perfect. It was beautiful.
It was white and silken, smooth to the touch and hugging her body perfectly...the lace and silk dripping off her like liquid. She had spent hours carefully beading the lace and the tulle with dozens and dozens of crystals and pearls...until it was perfect.
Beautiful, and flowing, and perfect. Like something out of a dream, or a fairy tale.
She reached out and gently touched the skirts, her heart thundering in her chest as the realization hit her all over again.
She was wearing a wedding dress.
It was something that she had almost resigned herself to never having. A beautiful wedding dress, with flowers in her hair and her mate waiting at the end of the aisle.
But now...now there was no turning back. No turning back as Nesta and Feyre closed the dozens of tiny pearl buttons that kept the dress closed on the back. As Nesta smoothed down the train that fell from her shoulders to the floor, the layers upon layers of silk and lace.
She looked up as Nesta stood, her hands smoothing along the beautiful silk and lace. "Perfect," she said quietly, a warm smile on her face.
Feyre was smiling too, her eyes sparkling a bit as she looked at the dress. Even little Nyx was quiet with fascination, staring at Eira from Feyre's arms.
And then...there was a single knock on the door, and all three of the Archeron girls went very still, realizing the significance of it.
Eira's heart was pounding in her ribcage so hard that she felt as if it might burst, her hands clenching and unclenching at her side.
"Ready?" Feyre asked her quietly. Eira tried to say something, but her voice wouldn't work and she simply nodded.
"Good," Feyre smiled. "Then let's get you married."
Eira forced herself to take a deep, shaky breath, her chest tight with nerves and excitement and love.
And then, before she could think too hard about it, Feyre was opening the door, revealing Rhys in all his wedding finery waiting behind it.
Every bit the High Lord, his hair slicked back from his face, and his suit dark and crisp, a warm smile on his face.
"You look beautiful," he told her quietly, a hint of a gleam in his violet eyes. "Stunning, little sister."
"Thank you," Eira whispered back, her voice a little hoarse.
Rhys offered his arm to her and she took it almost shyly, her heart racing.
"Time to get you married," he said, grinning at her.
Eira managed a shaky laugh, her chest tight as she took a few trembling steps. 
She couldn't see anything but Rhys and her vision had started to blur, and the thundering of her blood was so loud that it almost sounded like drums.
“Please don’t let me fall down the stairs,” she blurted out and Rhys laughed softly. 
“Don’t worry, I got you,” Rhys promised her, as they reached the staircase landing. “We’ll get you safely to that temple.”
And then…then Eira only needed to get down the aisle without tripping.
“Just hold on to me,” Rhys said as she managed the first few steps of that staircase, Nesta behind her managing her train. 
She could do that. Probably.
But Rhys was solid and unmoving and his easy strength meant she could depend on it and…
“You alright?" Rhys asked quietly, noticing her nerves and her shaking.
Eira swallowed hard, trying to steady her heart. Her palms were damp and her knees felt like jelly but she managed a nod at her brother's question, trying desperately to focus on anything but the nerves. Rhys squeezed her arm again, reassuring and comforting. "You'll be alright," he said quietly. "Just breathe."
She forced herself to take a deep breath, filling her lungs with air, and slowly letting it out, focusing on the feel of her feet moving on the floor.
“Please don’t leave me,” she whispered, her breath choking in her throat. 
There wasn’t a father that could walk her down the aisle. That had been taken from her along with her humanity, during that war. But if she could just depend on Rhys’ easy strength, that immovable presence of his…maybe she was going to be just fine with that... 
Rhys squeezed her hand. “You’ll be fine,” he promised, violet eyes shining. “I won’t let you fall, little one.” 
And he didn’t. 
Rhys gently squeezed her arm, his smile kind as he carefully guided her outside into the garden and then towards that temple at the far end of it. 
One step, and then another, and then another, moving closer and closer to these double doors and the room beyond.
It was like a whirlwind, and she was only aware of two things. Rhys's arm under hers to keep her steady...and the fact that Azriel was waiting at the end of the aisle, his wings flared behind him.
And suddenly…suddenly it was so easy.
She didn't notice anything besides him, his wings flared out behind him and his suit crisp and black against his dark skin and onyx hair. He was staring at her, his eyes wide with a mixture of amazement and love.
And she felt her heart clench in her chest, a surge of adoration moving through her at the sight of the male who was to become her husband.
She was barely aware that she was moving again, slowly walking down the aisle, every step bringing her closer to him. Eira hardly noticed the people watching or saw the soft smiles on their faces.
All she could see was her mate, her eyes completely locked on to him, and all she could hear was the thumping of her heart in her chest.
She heard the sound of Feyre behind her, laughing softly, and feel Rhys gently letting go of her arm. 
The only thing that mattered…the only thing that mattered was him.
She drank him in, her eyes glued to his, as she held out her hands for him to take and warm, scarred fingers closed around hers. 
The Priestess said something to her, the words were a little hard to process, her heart still racing in her chest, her breaths coming faster than they should have. But she still managed to respond immediately, her voice hoarse as she smiled up at her mate, grey eyes meeting hazel-green.
"Yes."
She heard a quiet, almost shaky sort of breath from Azriel, his wings shifting behind him, as he stared at her in wonder, as she heard with half a mind the priestess repeat the question, this time to Azriel…
She heard Azriel's chest heave with a deep, steadying breath before he responded, his voice like gravel, like velvet, the most beautiful sound of them all. 
"Yes."
The priestess began speaking again, the words passing over Eira like some kind of dream. She was too focused on him, her mate, the wonderful male in front of her that was hers.
This felt like something out of a dream, like the fantasy storybooks she had been reading as a child...
But the male standing in front of her, looking at her, looking at her as if she was the only good thing in all the world...that was very real.
A real as the priestess in her robes continued to speak. She caught snippets of what he said. Words like promises, and commitment, and love. Forever.
And always.
No one had every looked at her the way he did. Or loved her the way he did.
And then...then, finally...his hand lifted to her face
She felt as if the entire world stopped around her at the touch.
His hand was warm on her cheek, callouses rough against her skin as he touched her, and she leant into the touch, closing her eyes for a moment before opening them again.
His eyes were wide, his face soft with adoration.
“You may kiss your bride."
Time seemed to slow to a stop as she looked at Azriel, her heart thundering against her skin, her blood rushing in her ears.
There was nothing in the world that she wanted more at that moment than to kiss her husband.
He gently cupped the back of her head in his other hand as he pulled her closer, his wings spreading out behind him as he leaned down to meet her.
The second his lips met hers was like lightning striking through Eira, setting her blood on fire and sending a shiver down her spine. Her head was spinning and her heart was racing and her lungs had completely forgotten how to work as time seemed to slow down around them, only him and her and the moment that they shared.
His lips against hers, his hand in her hair…
And then, somehow, they had to stop, separating just barely, their breath mingling together as they slowly pulled apart.
Eira could feel her heart hammering in her chest, feel the way her whole body seemed to hum at his touch, the way her blood was still on fire, burning hotter than it had before.
She was faintly aware of the cheering of their family, the applause and whistles of the people around them, but she hardly cared.
She was far too focused on the feeling of him, her mate, her husband still holding her…She had married him....her wonderful, beautiful Azriel.
And she smiled.
Eira grinned, beaming up at him. 
Azriel stared down at her, his expression still wide-eyed and a little stunned. But then, after a moment, he smiled back, his hand curling gently against her cheek.
I love you.
The words weren't spoken, but she could see them on his face, in the adoration in his gaze,  in the way his eyes shone as he looked at her.
She could feel everything through the bond, every bit of his intense, unwavering love for her. Every bit of his adoration and affection and tenderness.
He was staring at her as if she was the most beautiful female in all of Prythian, and she had never felt more loved in her whole life.
"We're married," she murmured, her voice shaking just a little as she spoke the words.
"We are," Azriel murmured back, his voice rough with emotion.
And then he was pulling her closer into his arms, her body melting against his as he held her close, holding onto her like he was holding a precious treasure in his hands.
Like she was something to cherish.
He held her tight, his face buried in her hair while he took a deep, shuddery breath.
"My wife," he murmured quietly, his voice a soft rumble.
And gods, did she like hearing that. Loved hearing that.
"My husband," she whispered back, tilting her head back a little to look up at him, her eyes glowing with pure adoration as she smiled at him.
Her husband. Her mate. Her most wonderful, caring, incredible male.
She wanted to spend hours in his arms, the feeling of his touch against her body. She wanted to be claimed, to be marked by him as his wife.
His mate.
His everything.
She wanted all of his attention, all of his love, all of his adoration. All of it, forever.
Gods, but she wanted him. Wanted to have him, and be had by him.
And judging by the way his eyes darkened as hers glowed brighter, the way his arms tightened around her, the way his breath hitched in his chest....he wanted her just as much.
But first...first...first, there was their family descending on them, congratulations and cheers.
Through the wave of well-wishers and kind words, Azriel never let go of her.
He didn’t let go, he just kept her tucked against his side, his hand never leaving her body, gently touching some part of her. Her hand, her hair, her shoulder.
Even as Feyre stepped up, looking almost blissed as she grinned and drew them both into a tight hug.
"I'm so happy for you both," Feyre told them, looking beyond happy as she smiled at them, a genuine, joyful smile.
Nesta stepped up then, a soft, warm smile on her face, a single tear in the corner of her eye as she gave them both a quick hug before stepping back.
"Congratulations," she said warmly, before stepping back to stand with Esmeray, who was dabbing at her eyes with a handkerchief.
Rhys was there moments later, pulling them both into a tight hug and clapping Azriel on the back, his smile nearly splitting his face in half.
"I always knew you had it in you, brother," he said with a low chuckle, which he quickly quieted when Feyre pinched him on the side.
After him came Cassian, grabbing them both in a bear hug and lifting them off the ground for a moment before he set them down, grinning at them both like some kind of excited child.
"You're both married!" he exclaimed, looking utterly ecstatic. "I'd never thought I'd see the day!"
Mor stepped up after him, her face glowing as she wrapped her arms around them, pulling them into a tight hug.
"Congratulations," she murmured quietly, her voice tight with emotion. "Both of you...I'm so happy."
Amren was last, her face set in its usual cold, stoic expression. But then, she stepped up in front of them, giving both Azriel and Eira a brief, quick hug before saying, "Congratulations. I'm very...pleased, that both of you have found happiness in each other."
Esmeray was grinning with excitement as she stepped up, the older female looking utterly joyful as she gave both Azriel and Eira a tight hug, squeezing them tight.
"I'm so happy for the both of you," she said quietly, her voice quavering a little. "Thank you, Ma," Azriel said quietly.
"Thank you," Eira echoed, her voice soft as she looked at her new mother-in-law.
Esmeray just smiled fondly at them both, reaching up to gently pat each of them on the cheek.
"You're both wonderful together," she said quietly, her voice soft and warm. "I hope you're both very happy together."
She looked away briefly, her eyes glowing, before looking back at them with a bright smile.
"And no doubt you'll be having some wonderful children too," Esmeray said, her voice almost singsong. Azriel almost choked...while a faint blush crept up over Eira's cheeks.
"Mother," Azriel said, his voice almost strangled.
But Esmeray just laughed, grinning at both of them with a mischievous sort of twinkle in her eye. "I'm just saying," she said with a laugh. "I would love to be a grandmother."
Azriel groaned, facepalming as Esmeray continued to laugh.
And in the midst of all the laughter, all the joy and love and well-wishes...Eira felt an almost overwhelming sense of contentment settle in her chest.

Hunted
synopsis: You're walking home late from work one evening and encounter a stranger..
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tags: yandere, smut, kinda dubcon, non canon characterization, afab reader, satoru gojo
Tumblr media
You felt it again, that unmistakable feeling of the fine hair rising behind your neck. 
That feeling had been your loyal companion for the last few months, coming on and off. It came just often enough for you to not forget about it, but not enough to warrant true concern. You chalked it up to getting accustomed to this climate, you had recently moved to the area around the same time you first noticed it. Oh how naive you had been.
As you walked home from work after staying late to put in overtime, that feeling was accompanied by the rustling of footsteps. Soon enough the racing of your heart joined in, creating a daming trio. It was nearly midnight and though the office you worked at was only a few blocks away from your small town home, the route was dimly lit. 
Again the rustling permeated the air.
Pausing now, you turned around.. no one. 
It was only when you turned the corner that you peered over your shoulder and saw a tall male figure walking towards you. 
Instinctively, you picked up the pace but his long stride made it difficult to out pace him. 
“Hey are you okay? You seem shaken,” the male called out. His voice was smooth and confident and when he stepped into the light pole’s beam you understood why. 
This man wasn’t like anyone you had seen before. His skin radiant, free of blemishes, and his hair was a snowy white. Most striking were his eyes, a celeste hue that made it seem as though pieces of the sky fell into his lids. 
“You okay?” He asked again, laughing slightly. You figured he was used to the ogling. Who would suspect that someone who looked like they could be on the runway would live in the shadows? 
“I think so.. I was just walking home from work,” you voice said, still timid. 
“Me too, mind if I walk with you?” He asked. 
“Guess not,” you shrugged. 
He fell into a stride next to you, matching your slower pace. 
“So you’re a workaholic,” he teased. 
“I suppose. It’s only temporary, I need the money to pay my rent. I moved here not that long ago,” you said. 
He let out a tsk.
“You don’t have family to hold you over?” He questioned.
“No, I moved for my career.” 
Silence settled as the townhomes came into view. Why were you letting him walk with you? Why were you telling him personal things? It went against every survival instinct you knew. 
“Well this is me, I'm going to head home now,” you said as the two of you entered the neighborhood. 
“I’ll walk you to your door,” he said. 
“Oh you don’t have to-“
“I insist,” he said with enough permanence you knew it wasn’t up for debate. Perhaps he had been raised a gentleman and insisted on making sure you got home safe. 
When you were at your door you turned to thank him and saw he was watching you intently. 
“Thank you,” you said a little dismissively, hoping he’d leave now. 
“You’re welcome,” he said, with no sign of leaving. It was then you noticed how empty handed he was, a detail you had missed earlier due to his striking appearance.
“You don’t have any work equipment with you,” you stated suddenly your laptop bag on your shoulder felt much more heavy.
“Left my stuff at the office,” he replied coolly. 
Your heart began to thud.
The thud reminded you of the trio: the hair rising, the rustling, heart racing.
At the current moment they were all present except one.
One had stopped once this stranger had appeared and only silence had ensued in his presence besides his questions.
“I think I’ll be going inside now,” you said, quickly fumbling with the lock. 
As you opened the door and bolted in, his strong hand stopped it from closing. 
“Aren’t you going to invite me in?” He asked, smiling, his brilliant white canines like daggers. 
You tried to force the door close but his strength allowed him to open it just enough so he could side step inside. 
You backed away and he closed the door behind you, locking it ominously. 
Even more frightening, your laptop bag fell off your shoulder and onto the floor with a thud so loud it rivaled that of your heart.
“Now we can be alone,” he laughed as if it were an inside joke only he knew. 
“Please leave. Please don’t hurt me,” you began to plead.
He raised a brow.
“Hurt you? I’d never hurt you, unless you ask me to,” he teased. 
His demeanor was a combination of playful and menacing. 
Bridging the space between the two of you, his lips came down roughly on yours before you could even process it. 
Moaning into his mouth from the shock, your head spun as he devoured your tongue with his own. He was a good kisser, his lips moving skillfully. 
“I’ve wanted to do that for so long,” he whispered once the kiss broke apart. 
“What?” you asked. 
By way of response, his lips moved to your neck, and your body betrayed you by responding, a jolt of heat formulating between your thighs. 
“Mine. All mine,” he said between kisses on your neck. 
“I don’t even know your name,” you stammered. 
He laughed against your skin.
“Satoru,” he replied before continuing to lay kisses on your neck with his soft lips. 
“Satoru…” you repeated more to yourself than to him but you felt his lips curl up in a smile. 
“That’s right, it sounds so much nicer coming from you,” he said. 
His lips came down on yours again, more passionate and hungry than before. Your head began to spin when suddenly he broke away.
“Take me to your bedroom,” he demanded. 
“What?” you asked, voice shaky. 
“You don’t like that idea?” he asked. For a moment his face seemed extremely vulnerable but then it was replaced by a stern look. 
“No it’s not that, it’s just- I don’t know you,” you stammered, hoping he wouldn’t grow angry. On the contrary, your words made him playful again. 
“You don’t need to. I know you, I’ve been studying you,” he said, his hands going to rest at your hips now, “I know you’re lonely, so let me take care of you.” 
You couldn’t even feign offense. You were so deeply lonely. Moving here for your career away from everyone you knew was no easy feat. You had the same routine work, home, and occasionally the store for errands. His hands traveled lower resting right on your thighs, one hand gripped the flesh lightly. You let out a whimper at that. 
“That’s a good girl, I can tell you want me. So it looks like I’m just gonna have to take us to your bed myself.” 
The next thing you knew, he lifted you up with extreme ease, throwing you  over his shoulder with your rear end a little too close to his face. 
“Satoru!” you exclaimed. 
He seemed to move through your small home a little too comfortably, a little too familiar. 
Finding your bedroom at the end of the hall, he threw you down on the bed. 
Your face flushed with embarrassment at all your trinkets on shelves and your plushies on the bed, by all accounts you have never had a man over before. 
Satoru only seemed to have eyes for you, however.
He bent down on his knees before you, parting your legs open. He jeered at the sight of your white panties, easily accessible due to your wearing a skirt. 
You gasped and clamped your legs shut again. 
His eyes narrowed at that. 
“Don’t be rude, let me look,” he said. 
A part of you felt violated while another part of you felt excitement. 
“Satoru, this is all so fast,” you said. 
He raised a brow. 
“Actually it is not going fast enough for me. I’ve waited months for this moment,” he replied. 
It had been several times now he made comments of the sort implying he had been watching you, and it shifted things into perspective. 
The hair rising that had been your one and only companion in this stage of your life was due to him. 
“How long have you been watching me?” you asked. 
“Since you first moved in,” he replied simply as if it were the most normal thing in the world. He inched forward until he was hovering over you on the bed, his hands resting along on the mattress. He kissed you again and you fell further into the cot. You hated how your body seemed to love his touch so much, you were so responsive to him. You even felt your panties begin to dampen with arousal. 
When the kiss broke apart, he rubbed the tip of his nose against yours, an act of unwarranted intimacy for two strangers. 
“I want you and I intend to have you. I won’t take no for an answer,” he said directly. His striking eyes were serious.
“Satoru you’re handsome and I’m not saying no but this is just so sudden,” you said trying to hold on to some shred of dignity. 
“I want you and I know you want me, what more is there that needs to happen?” He asked. 
He slipped back into his prior position in front you before speaking again: “If I have to prove how good I can make you feel, I will do so gladly.” 
His hands effortlessly parted your legs again and when you tried to clamp them shut again he held them in place.
“Stop denying yourself pleasure,” he said. He smiled upon seeing the wet stain on your panties, “look at you all eager for me.” 
His voice grew husky and his eyes were lustful. His fingers intruded their way into your underwear, pushing them aside slightly so he had access to your folds. 
Your breathing hitched as you felt him find your clit, the mere touch inducing a pulsing sensation that was impossible to ignore.
“Satoru.. please..” you said but you didn’t know what you were pleading for anymore. 
Was it for him to stop? Was it for him to keep going? 
“Hmm?” He teased as his fingers gently rubbed little circles on your clit. 
Eyes rolling back in pleasure, you felt your resolve to resist him begin to fade away. 
“That’s a good girl. See you don’t know what you want, you have to be shown,” he said. Suddenly he stopped rubbing. Your expression like you just had cold water thrown on you made him laugh. “Don’t worry, I have something better.” 
He removed your heels, tossing them to the floor, soon afterward your underwear followed as he rolled them over your knees and discarded them. Your skirt remained, but it was thrown over your plush thighs, no longer offering coverage.
“Fuck, so this is your pretty little bud,” he whispered as he parted your legs again. 
You were still pulsating, it grew more fierce as he had stopped before you could reach your climax. 
He leaned forward smirking and suddenly you felt his tongue at your folds. He began to slurp at your arousal causing guttural moans to slip out of your mouth and your back to arch slightly. 
Your hands went to his soft hair as you searched for something to anchor you when every part of you felt like it was setting afloat. 
He was ravenous, his mouth greedily tasting every part of you, and he was nearly abusive to your clit with his rough laps. 
“That’s it… that’s a good girl,” he coaxed as he felt your sweet release coming on. He talked you through it, telling you sweet nothings of how good you looked right now and how he had fantasized about this for so long. 
Three. 
Two. 
One. 
And your breasts raised and fell like setting suns as you caught your breath. 
“Now I want you to do something for me too,” he said as he began to unbuckle his pants. 
“Satoru, wait,” you began to protest again. 
“I told you I won’t take no for an answer. I proved myself and made you feel good,” he said. He took his pants off so he was in his boxers, his shirt soon following after. Calloused hands pulled your skirt off. Your blazer and blouse were soon discarded roughly. 
He hovered over you again going to kiss your lips, salvia intermingling with yours so when he pulled away again a translucent string connected the two of you. Leaning back, he pulled down his boxers revealing his big cock, some slight precum on the angry pink tip. 
“Satoru.. I’m not on anything,” you began. 
He had been right, you were so dreadfully lonely it had been a long time since you had been touched like this.
He smiled as if he suspected no different.
“It’s fine. I’d look after you and the baby,” he said. 
You whine at this.
“Please, be serious,” you chastised. 
“Fine, I’ll pull out. I’ll take care of everything but for now,” he paused as he lined himself up with you, he placed his dick on top of your labia rubbing up and down before he continued, “just let yourself enjoy it.” 
Your body was on fire, every nerve seemed to make itself known and you were embarrassed by just how aroused you really were. 
He was so dreadfully attractive, the perfect predator. Even his scent was intoxicating as it wafted into your nostrils from having him so close.
The truth was you were doomed to lose from the moment he set his sights on you. He was the hunter and you had been the naive and ignorant prey. Everything about him was inviting. In truth that’s why you had let him walk with you, why you had told him personal details. In the end you had been responsible for your own demise but you couldn’t bring yourself to regret it.
Now you were going to have sex with your stalker, how fucked up was that? 
“You’re so fucking soaked,” he whispered as you felt him move his cock down and between your folds now. “Ahh.. fuck.. you’re so goddamn tight. How many guys have you let in here? Actually, don’t answer that. I don’t want to get mad.” 
You moaned as you felt yourself stretch to accommodate his impressive and imposing girth. He pushed himself deeper in, using his hands to wrap your legs around his waist so he could go even deeper still, until at last he was bottomed out inside you. 
He seemed delirious now, completely pussy drunk as he began to set a rhythmic pace of fast thrusts. 
“So big,” you whispered, but he heard you all the same, groaning at that. 
“Fuck.. I've wanted this since the moment I saw you.. Had to stop myself from taking you then and there-“ 
Your bed frame had begun to hit the wall with each thrust and you blushed to think of any neighbors who may hear. 
You could feel his pulse beating inside you as if it were your own and the lewd sound of wet skin slapping against skin only aroused you more. 
“Moan my name,” he commanded.
“Satoru..” you moaned. 
He groaned at that and his hands went to grope at your breasts, sensitive nipples spilling over onto his fingers as he continued to thrust into your mercilessly. 
“Such a little minx, you know that? I loved watching you.. following you.. coming into your place at night while you were sleeping.” 
Your eyes widened in fear at that, mortified.
No wonder he had been so familiar with your place. 
“Shh.. did that scare you baby? Don’t worry. I’d just watch you sleep is all. Sometimes I’d stroke myself off when you’d moan in your sleep. Believe me it took everything in me not to ram myself down your throat when you’d do that.. but even I have morals,” he laughed. 
You felt your heart racing in panic now, in fear of the invasion of your privacy but he took the opportunity to fuck you even harder than before. 
“‘Toru.. so rough,” you moaned as your hands went to his muscled back in an effort to stabilize yourself. 
“Fuck- your pussy is gripping me so much tighter. Thought you were scared, but maybe you like the attention.. hm?” 
His strokes became slower now, more deliberate. And for a moment his rough fucking turned into intimate love making as he kissed you, his tongue chasing after yours.
You felt yourself nearly close to your peak, and he felt it too, his lips moving to your neck biting as he returned to his fast speed.
He found your sweet gummy spot and his cock nicked it over and over, practically abusing it to the point of overstimulation that you felt tears of pleasure roll down your cheeks. 
“Satoru… it feels so good,” you moaned. 
“Yeah, I bet it does,” he teased, his own eyes half lied and full of lust.
He himself was enjoying this as well, enjoying how incredibly tight and warm you felt it was like nothing he had ever experienced before and well worth the months of waiting and meticulous studying of you. 
God, how he had enjoyed watching you, had enjoyed following you home from work every night. 
Tonight has been his breaking point, he couldn’t stay away any longer and when you didn’t resist him didn’t tell him to go away and that he could walk home with you.. well you had practically invited him to fuck you, or at least that’s how he saw it. 
“I’m.. I’m so close,” you whimpered underneath him. 
“Shh I know baby me too,” he cooed. 
“Satoru.. remember not inside-“ you tried to remind him, but your face was so flushed, makeup smeared, and voice so breathy, you couldn’t possibly mean that could you? 
Your words didn’t seem to have any effect on him as he continued to thrust into you. 
In truth he was imagining you pregnant, it would be a true testament that you were claimed by him, belonged to him. 
Because as far as he was concerned you did belong to him, he hadn’t invested all this time into you for nothing. 
“Fuck…” he groaned as he felt you gripping him even tighter still. 
Close so close.. 
Then the two of you finished and you screamed out in panic as his hot fluid rushed into you. 
“Shhh… it’s okay, baby,” he coaxed, shutting up your panicked babbles with a tongue filled kiss. You relaxed a little at that, he did have a way of calming you down with his touch, with his out of place intimacy which was far too familiar for what the two of you were to each other. 
He reluctantly pulled out of you and cradled you against his chest, stroking your hair and kissing your forehead. 
In this moment it was easy for you to close your eyes and pretend the two of you were lovers. 
Too bad the truth was much darker.

Christmas with the monster trio.
Tumblr media
Characters: Luffy, Zoro, Sanji x gn! Reader
Cw: English is not my first language, teeth rotting kind of fluff, kind of suggestive at some parts? (But nothing actually happens)
Notes: I really need to stop accidentally pressing the publish button instead of save. Hope you enjoy!
Tumblr media
Luffy 1k
The entire ship was filled with excitement and festive spirit, from the kitchen you could smell at least ten different dishes that you just knew your mouth would water at. Everyone was there, Usopp was telling Chopper about a time he had supposedly fought against a giant candy-cane-looking fish in order to get Kaya the perfect gift, Brook was playing music besides Robin and Franky while Sanji gave the finishing touches to the food and Zoro and Nami were having a drinking competition to which you were the judge.
Yet your captain was nowhere to be seen.
The past few days Luffy had been talking your ear off (and that of whoever would listen to him) about how excited he was for Christmas and how he couldn't wait to exchange gifts and eat all the banquet Sanji would prepare for the occasion. So it was kinda weird when he simply disappeared in the middle of the evening.
The beginning of a fight between the crew's swordsman and the red head navigator pulled you out of your thoughts, behind you Sanji approached the table to offer some snacks and take Nami's side on the dispute, even though he most likely didn't even know what they were fighting about. In the midst of the moment you took your chance to leave for the deck of the ship, you felt the need to know were your captain had ran off to.
The night air was chilly, Christmas lights had been put up all across the deck, which made the task of seeing where you were going all the easier. Everything was calm, except for the sound of the crew back inside, and something else, something akin to a well known laugh, a 'shi,shi,shi' in the wind.
Giggling to yourself you followed the sound all the way to the figurehead of the ship, and sitting there, in the dim light, was your captain with his hat on and his back facing you, you could see his shoulders shaking with laughter.
"Oi, captain" you called out "what you got there?"
Luffy's head, had he not been made out of rubber, might have snapped from how quick he turned around. The grin on his face widened to a radiant smile and his laughter grew in loudness.
A rubber hand grabbed you from your lower back and with a whip you found yourself on your captain's lap. Suddenly your face wasn't as cold anymore as you could feel all your blood rush to your cheeks.
"Watch'a got there, captain?" You question at Luffy, whose other hand was behind his back as if hiding something from you, his laughter had become an almost silent giggle which he clearly was trying to keep in.
''Imma need ya to close your eyes" He told you whispering, getting close to you enough for your noses to touch. You complied and closed your eyes, being then able to feel his breathing on your eyelids.
Something almost weightless was dropped onto your lap, nothing told you what it could possibly be but you trusted your captain to not give you anything awfully dangerous or something of sorts. While you were trying to figure out what the object could possibly be you almost didn´t notice a few strands of hair caressing your cheeks.
"You can open your eyes now" came the low whisper of Luffy right by your ear, sending shivers down your spine and sparking little giggles. Luffy took a moment to bask in the warmth of your laughter before finally going back to his previous position, allowing you to see what he had left on your lap.
It was a cilinder. At least that was what it had the shape of, a cilinder the size of your head made with paper and a wire structure of sorts. And staring back at you, drawn on the cilinder with colorful paintings were two figures. It took you a little while to really figure out what the drawing was, first you saw a blob of yellow and red with a black blob right underneath it; but the more you saw it the more you were able to put together the picture, the blobs of yellow, red, black and pinkish were a drawing of him, and right next to him were you.
The you on the drawing was smiling brightly and you could barely see your own eyes from how they were almost closed and squished on top of your cheeks. Bliss, could be a word used to describe how you looked, completely and utterly happy.
"Ya´ like it? It´s us, I was gonna add more color to the rest, but ussop hid the rest of his paints so I wasn´t able to" Luffy´s explanation almost fell on deaf ears, your eyes felt like they were burning and tears started to gather on the corners of them only to fall down your cheeks leaving a trace of warmth, like little rivers that carried all the love that Luffy gave you since the day he met you.
Your tears took him by surprise, but instead of panicking as many others would he just started laughing. Loud and unapologetically, exactly like he was.
In between your tears you didn´t see were he got a match from, but he lifted the cilinder and made you hold it while he lighted something inside of it. The interior lighted up and made the drawing even brighter, the warmth that now emanated from it gave you a cozy feeling.
Holding with you what you now knew was a floating lantern Luffy slowly lifted it into the air and let it go. It took you a few more seconds to do the same, your fingertips grazing the paper as a goodbye. From behind you both more lanterns ascended onto the sky, looking like orange stars, and looking over your captain´s shoulder you could see the rest of the crew lighting lanterns and releasing them.
That seemed like a nice tradition to keep for Christmas.
Zoro 730
Who would say that decorating a Christmas tree could be so complicated? To be fair the damn thing was almost the same height as the mast of the ship but you had grown tired of climbing up and down the stairs in order to hang up the decorations.
Luffy at the very least was stretching his arms to reach higher and add details that he thought looked good. You weren´t a huge fan of hanging sandals on the christmas tree, but from where you were standing you could barely see them, and besides, captain's orders.
What you could not figure out however was what Zoro could possibly be doing. You had seen him when you all had started decorating but had lost sight of him since then. Tired of the stairs you chose to find the swordsman instead and kill some time until dinner.
You put your hands in your pockets to keep them from the cold and to search for the little bag you had stored there. A sigh escaped your lips, a small cloud of mist to show your nerves regarding giving zoro a gift.
Sure, it was Christmas Eve, everyone was giving gifts and you had gotten one for everyone, expensive dresses for Nami and Robin, a big piece of cotton candy for Chopper and you even got a present for Brook! even though he almost always got on your nerves along with Sanji.
But for whatever reason the gift you got for Zoro really got you on your nerves, you had spent almost the an entire day looking for a gift for him on the last island, and you had used quite a lot of berrie on this little thing (even if you would never admit actually spending that amount for him).
Walking around the deck it wasn´t actually complicated at all to find the moss head swordsman practicing his art with... dumbells? big dumbells at that. It kind of felt like if he was rubbing on your face how strong he was, or showing off, shirtless on the falling snow.
Of course you knew he was only training without any other purpose than to get stronger, but it was fun to imagine that he wanted to show off to him, it made your cheeks blush.
"Oi Zoro! How much longer are you going to be there? It´s freezing out here" Even if he clearly didn´t notice the cold it had been the first thing to come to your mind and at a lack of better things to say you had said it out loud.
"If it´s so cold out here maybe you should go back inside" he responded without even looking your way. Did he think you were so weak you couldn´t even handle a litlle cold?
"I meant for you, you know? Wouldn´t want for the night to come and you getting lost in the snow trying to get to the kitchen"
That seemed to do the trick, for Zoro put the dumbells down and turned around to stare at you as if you were crazy. Eyes wide and confusion, along with annoyement, written all over his face.
You turned around and started to walk towards the kitchen with him following behind you asking what you even meant with that. Once you had finally gotten inside the kitchen you took one of the hot mugs that Sanji had prepared, and sat down, soon enough an angry green haired man stood besides you screaming your ear off.
You took the little bag from your pocket and handed it to him, which managed to shut him up pretty quickly. He looked at you, back to the bag and back to you, finally he took a seat besides you and opened it.
On Zoro´s hand fell three golden earrings, each one shaped like one of his swords.
"I know you only use the ones you already got on, but I thought that if you were going to represent your three sword style might as well use something close to the actual swords and..." Your rambling got cut off by two words from your partner.
"Thank you" but it wasn´t the words that made you shut up, it was his smile, small and genuine, not the mocking one he gave to sanji or the one he wore to the battlefield, a smile dedicated only for you.
"You´re welcome".
Sanji
One of your favourite parts of Christmas was definitely the food, and one of Sanjis favourite parts of Christmas was having you on the kitchen with him taste testing almost everything he prepared.
This year in specific Sanji had made a list of the things you liked the most ,and he spent all the day making them. But the one you seemed the most excited for seemed to be the sugar cookies he had baked.
The cookies in cuestion had laid on the counter for a little while now, cooling off while he prepared the glaze. They were all different shapes, there were trees, reindeers and even bells. And besides Sanji, with the glaze he had done earlier were you, glazing cookies with colors and smiling like a little child.
Some of the lines came out a little wonky but for the most part you were doing a great job, and Sanji didn't miss any opportunities to tell you so, it seemed not even five minutes went by without you hearing "Those look beautiful love" or "You have real talent for this" and even " You could help me out with the pastries more often, we would make an entire batch only for you and I" which honestly just sounded like him finding an excuse for the both of you to spend more time together.
But regardless of the blonde cook's comments you were a hundred percent focused on your task, so focused actually, that when a stray hand landed on your waist you jumped out of your skin. It all happened really quickly too, Sanji had been trying to slightly move you to the side one second, and then the next one he found his face and apron covered in light blue glaze.
Your face showed how sorry you were, but in between your wide open eyes and hand covering your mouth a laugh was trying to slip by. You tried to apologize but every time you tried to say sorry it sounded broken with laughter.
"Well, I thought you were decorating the cookies, not me" he said while smiling.
Finally taking your hand off your face you pointed out "I think you have.. a l-little.. pffft.. a little blue.. on your cheek" was the first thing you managed to choke out without your laughs distorting it.
Sanji swiped his cheek with his thumb, and stood there for a few seconds just staring at it, then he finally raised his gaze... towards the kitchen door?
You turned around to see what he was seeing but there was nothing. Before you could turn back around you felt a something cold on your face.
"I think you, have a little blue on your cheek"
You were sure your expression was as if Sanji had grown a second head, but for some reason you could not understand how him would do that.
You stood staring at him while you felt around the counter, but once you found a bowl, oh it was game on.
Sanji had barely blinked when he felt you fingers on his face, spreading green glaze as though he was a cookie. In response he dipped his fingers on the bowl with red color and painted your forehead with it.
Soon enough both of you were covered in the sugary mix like it was face paint and running around the kitchen trying to smudge the other one a little more. Your laughs, you were sure, could be heard all around the ship just from how loud they were, and Sanji's hair had long lost his blonde color, now tinted like a Christmas rainbow of sorts; he had made a joke about you being chopper at some point so you knew that there was most likely blue on your nose.
For a moment, only one, you stopped to catch your breath, but it was enough for him to grab you from behind and twirl you around, his arms around yours. Your laughter died down eventually, but you both remained there, hugging each other in a comfortable silence.
Looking down at his hands holding you, you grabbed one of them and brought it up to your face. You swiped some of the glaze of the back of his hand and onto your mouth.
From the surprise Sanji released you, and while he looked flabbergasted you continued to eat the glaze off of your own hands.
You started heading towards the door but turned around one last time.
"We probably shouldn't let all of this go to waste" you winked at him as you walked out the kitchen.
You almost missed the way his nose started bleeding slightly.

REVÓLVER SEXUAL | HC
supernova trio x gn!reader (separately)
very light angst + implied nsfw + hispanic/latin reader + past fat shaming + insecurities + fluff + mentioned past unhealthy mechanisms
a/n: totally not self indulging. this has been in my drafts for a year LMAO please like 🧍🏻‍♀️
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
૮ ּ ۟ monkey d. luffy ׅ ۫ ✧
when you first joined the crew, luffy KNEW you had some sort of trouble with food
you were so hesitant of EVERYTHING that he found himself insisting and making sure you ate well, along with sanji
“y/n, eat more.” you felt like he was your MOM.
you could hear the “estas muy flac@” from your family members or the “ni que estuvieras a dieta” from your mother
but it was so HARD to say no to luffy, captain or not.
you still didn’t have a healthy relationship with food, and still felt a little guilty if you found yourself eating more than you FELT like you should’ve
sometimes you’d go all day without eating until luffy drags you for dinner, it’s not that you did it intentionally, you just don’t find it in you to eat
honestly, it worried luffy but he never really commented on it
all he would do is make sure you at least ate
but when you would play with your food more than eat or even just stare at the plate before you, he would frown and actually force feed you
“Y/N YOU HAVE TO BE STRONG AND HEALTHY SO WE CAN BEAT EVERYTHING THAT COMES OUT WAY!”
yet, one day he finds out you literally had an issue with eating, you had mentioned it to chopper and he just happened to overhear
then it clicked why you were always squirmy during intimacy
and WITHOUT FAIL, to your surprise, he started being reassuring to you
he’s always a sweetheart with you, your hype man regardless but this time you knew his intentions were for you to understand you shouldn’t worry about your physical appearance
his eyes were ten times more tender outside the bedroom
yet, when it came to intimacy he was like a hungry animal— kissing, biting and grabbing. it had taken you aback at how specific he was being, but you still melted into him
he made you forget the voices that would say “hide that” or “don’t let him notice” but he made sure you understood that he’ll love you regardless of what you think
and he’s an eater
he’ll eat you up. always.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
૮ ּ ۟ trafalgar d. law ׅ ۫ ✧
he’s a DOCTOR. man’s knows when someone is off.
he mistook your lack of interest in food for a stomach bug, genuinely concerned and forcing you to take pills and medicine
lowkey made you feel bad and ashamed to the point you came clean
medical confidentiality right?
😭 the face he gave you!!
“it’s unhealthy to neglect vital nutrients to your body.”
very stern about your meal intake, takes it upon himself to make sure you eat what you can stomach at first and make sure you grow comfortable with both him and food
he’s sweet really, just shows it in private
he literally sits you down and asks you what you would like for your body, because if you have any concerns then you MUST attend them CORRECTLY
no more unhealthy mechanisms
and he falls even more in love when you seem more radiant, more confident.
he’d come up from behind always and just plant a warm, wet kiss on your ear before whispering a compliment on your appearance
he made you feel like no one else’s opinion mattered anymore.
literally it didn’t matter if people commented on your weight, the results you were having made you feel confident
he was definitely surprised when you’d initiate intimacy, when you’d devour him like a starving animal
“someone’s hungry,” he teased once, but when you had paused, he realized his wording must have affected you
he low key panics and stutters out an apology but you smirk at him
“for once i don’t feel guilty for eating-“ and you devour his heart and soul too

૮ ּ ۟ eustass kid ׅ ۫ ✧
i’m sorry but this doofus was really oblivious about it until killer pointed it out
he was so mad at himself. how dare he not see your issue with food?? he thought you gave him your leftovers out of love!!
dude he’s like, an insensitive giant thinking he’s being helpful
it made sense of why you were always trying to put off intimacy or why you’d try to make him see less of you
“i don’t give a damn about how you look. why would i care?” he asks.
in his head he was being sweet and saying “i love you just the way you are.”
but it made you feel like shit
you were already struggling with feeling right with yourself, and he comes and says he doesn’t care? maybe you’re being sensitive but even that made you feel worse
it felt like you’ll never be enough for anyone, even eustass.
you never felt like you mattered, but growing up your weight put labels on you. you grew up with insults being used as nicknames, yet you felt like eustass saw you as nothing
“why aren’t you eating?” he asks when he notices you still aren’t developing a good eating habit, some days you eat well and others you either overeat or don’t eat at all
“does it matter?” you huff.
“i give a damn when you could get sick!”
“you said you don’t give a damn about how i look, so shut up about what i do.” you growl.
“eh? when did i say that!? you need to eat!” he huffs.
“well no thank you.”
you ignore him and he has to corner you in your room to get you to pay him any mind
his interrogations fall deaf in your ears as he cages you under him on your bed
“if i don’t matter to you get out,” you blurt out.
“what are you talking about? when have i made you feel like you don’t matter to me.”
“you know i’m struggling and you just- you just said you don’t give a damn about how i look!”
“because i don’t! does it have to matter? i love you for you! pirates seek out people for their bodies and for their own pleasures! i’m with you because i love you for who you are!”
“and i am not saying you’re ugly or whatever it is you think i think!” he beats you to every argument.
and then he goes on to show you PHYSICALLY what he means. not like, harsh or anything. you’ve never felt so precious under his care before, he kissed you so tenderly.
he didn’t make you feel fragile, like something that could break in a bad way
he made you understand how he sees you as more as his partner- as an extension of his soul, his missing piece
“i’ll make sure you never feel like that again, as long as you’re with me, you’ll be more valuable than a poneglyph. whatever you struggle with, i’ll help you through it.”
your confidence went up, because honestly he’s brutally honest and many people take what the captain says seriously; yet you knew he’s never lie to you
at the end of the day, what your lover says is what matters to you.
