moodboard by @milla-frenchy 🖤 a rb will not stay up-to-date.

WARNINGS: 18+ canon-typical violence, noncon via implicit threat, evolving to enthusiastic dubious consent (stockholm syndrome), depraved use of praise and pet names (sweet pea, baby), unsafe P in V, exhibitionism, extreme possessiveness, dark fluff (🖤), angst, and more.

I never realized how much Crystal Dynamics stole content and ideas from Core! Is that even legal? It breaks my heart to learn how many things were stolen from AoD and put into the reboots!

Crystal's behaviour regarding the saga and the franchise have been, if not illegal, at least quite unprofessional from the beginning, spreading fake news and slanders concerning the previous developers of Tomb Raider and not taking professionally their new roles as developers of the franchise.

What anyone would expect from professionals would be, imho, to take what had been already produced and go on with the legacy trying to be quite loyal to the source and spirit of the games, completing what had been left unfinished (that is, TRAOD trilogy and the TR1 remake, at least) and then, go on with their own vision if they might - they were entitled, after all, to their own ideas concerning the franchise -. Instead, TRAOD was left unfinished, its remains and fandom dragged through the mud, some original ideas exploited to their credit and what was left simply canned. All to proceed with a first, then a second reboot that have barely stood to the quality and spirit of the original franchise.

As such, nowadays Tomb Raider is barely recognizable and there's nothing left of the character named Lara Croft, except her very name. It's a shame Crystal didn't live up the expectations of a studio inheriting a legend and an icon, instead, they thought they could be better and acted cockily and disrespectfully, and failed to provide a decent follow-up to the franchise.

Of course there's plenty of people that won't agree with this, but at this point I care little about it. The LAU trilogy or even the survivor reboot could've been nice games if they stood up alone as independent games, but as Tomb Raiders, they are simply not living up the original franchise and character. That strikes simply by the fact they've changed her biography or motivations so many times to the point it's a mess impossible to unify, as they claim to be doing.

For me, Tomb Raider died short after 2003 and it was Crystal Dynamics, and not Core Design, who killed it. Same with Lara Croft.

Well, not just Crystal. Eidos too have their fair share of guilt.

Hi Toxic

I'm not sure if this has been asked before (sorry if it has 🤷‍♀️)

Do u think Raider Joel would ever jerk off?(maybe Sweetpea was really tired after an outing, or she's been under the weather, so he thought he'd let her sleep) and what would Sweetpea do if she saw/caught him?

🖤🖤

She overhears him. . .

Joel x f!reader ("sweet pea," undescribed)

raider au

Oh how I missed you, friend. What a beautiful, mouth-watering question. If you want it is the only glimpse we have i think 💀. 18+, (half unwitting?) mutual masturbation, vocal. Sweet pea undescribed.

Her forehead is warm. It's just a cold--normal this time of year--all she needs is rest and water. Joel tries to let her sleep as much as possible. . . .No matter how sweet she looks when she's sleeping, or the soft little sounds she makes, or the way her brow furrows in her dreams, or the way her nightgown has ridden up to where he can almost see her--or the little moan she lets out . . He just lies there watching her, getting less sleepy and more aroused as the minutes tick by. He could swear he smells her arousal too, but resists the urge to check. When her lips part and "Ohh," slips out, then "Joel," his heart skips a beat, then pounds in his chest. "God damn, baby," he whispers. Then as quietly as he can, he slips out of bed, squeezing his aching manhood as he picks up a pair of boxers off the floor.

. . .

"Ohh," he's moaning from the restroom, "Ah--oh, god damn." His heavy breaths echo off the tile. By the time this wakes her up, she's well rested and throbbing, aching to have him. She could whine, and he'd be inside her within seconds, pumping her full of cum. But this is new--it's something she needs to hear. So she lays on her tummy, slides her hand between her legs, and lets her hips grind on the heel of her palm. She's already soaked. "Ohh, God," Joel echoes in the bathroom, "Oh, baby---fuuuck." She bites the pillow to stop from making noise herself, but soft little "mms" and grunts and whines still slip out, absorbed into the damp spot between her lips, and the slick between her legs sliding all over her wrist, between her thighs. "Ohh, ff--ohh," his breathing pattern sounds like he's about to come, and so is she. He groans and she can practically hear each pulse of his cock, she can practically taste each salty, silky ribbon. She's overcome by a wave of pleasure and whimpers into the pillow as it takes her. She tilts her forehead onto the pillow, giving her mouth room to utter, "Joel---Joel" as quietly as she can, and as he finishes himself, he sighs, "Ohh, sweet pea," making her moan, "mmm," as she comes down. "Such a good girl," he whispers to himself.

girl talk.

1.6k, sweet pea x f!reader

for @romanarose (ask) 💕

Neither of you is physically described. SUMMARY: You're alone together in the trailer. WARNINGS: I8+ AU where Carter has a gf. angst, kissing, grinding, fingering, cheating I guess, a little bit of alcohol, crying, slight dacryphilia?, fluff. Unedited. not the same au as river of dreams.

You're Carter's girlfriend. He and Joel have to go do something dangerous. When you and Carter get to the trailer, sweet pea is begging him not to go just the two of them, but Joel says they don't need more men. Before they leave, Carter cradles your head and kisses you goodbye, long and deep. When you open your eyes, sweet pea is watching longingly. She tears her eyes away from you and Carter and asks Joel if she can come. He says no, the two of you are staying. He kisses the crown of her head and grabs her behind.

Once the boys are gone, the two of you sit at the table for a while, then go for a walk. She doesn't talk much. You try not to think about how you and Carter have kinda roleplayed as her and Joel. Not by name -- but the situation you played out was basically theirs, and you were thinking of her when you did it. The fantasy was your way of getting Carter to be more aggressive, and it worked. Now that you're with sweet pea alone, you feel like you've sold her short in your characterization. It's easy to think of her as passive and meek with how dominant Joel is, but she has a strong energy of her own. She oozes sensuality in the way she moves, like she can't help it.

---

When you're back, you play cards and read. Later, you pull out a flask of whiskey and you both have a little bit to drink. You look at a magazine and talk about what you would wear and do if you went out on dates. She brings out some old nail polish Joel brought home one day. She paints your nails and the light touch of her hands makes you tingle.

She's pretty, really pretty, and there's something magnetic about her. She's quiet and sweet, and on the surface there's an innocence about her, even if it's just the way Joel dresses her, or the contrast between her and Joel. But there's something darker underneath; you can see it flickering in her eyes during some moments, like when you ask her what happened to Jackson and she seems to suppress a smile.

---

Carter and Joel don't come back when you expect. Sweet pea goes to bed. You wait up a little longer, then you hear her crying.

Your shoes are already off. You tiptoe to their bedroom and the door is open, but you knock lightly anyway. She ignores it. She's curled up in the bed with her head buried in the pillow, facing the door where you stand. The room is dim. You step forward and sit on the edge of the bed. You reassure her, "they're gonna come back, they're fine."

She shakes her head and wipes her eyes. You insist they'll be fine.

"It's not just that," she mumbles into the pillow.

"Then what is it?"

She keeps sniffling into the pillow. You sit there for another minute then slowly lift the comforter and she lets you. You slip into the bed. You're wearing pants and a t-shirt. She's wearing a nightie and one nipple is peeking out of it.

"He doesn't kiss me," she whispers, with her eyes still pinched shut and it breaks your heart. “He wont.” Her cheeks are wet.

You scoot closer to her. You're facing each other on your sides. Her eyes are still closed. Her tears are wetting the pillow. You brush one off her cheek and her eyes flutter open. She deserves to be kissed. You look at her apologetically and she looks at your lips. You look at hers.

You find yourself scooting closer and your face drifts toward hers. You get closer and closer until your noses are almost touching. You cup her cheek, and brush your thumb across her bottom lip. She tilts her chin up, then you cup her cheek and close the gap. Your noses brush and you press your lips into hers. You cradle her head and she kisses you back. Your tongue parts her lips and her mouth accepts yours, first passively, then hungrily. Your hand moves from her head to her back, holding her against you. She holds you, too. You're throbbing in your pants. Seeking pressure, you put a leg over hers and let out a little "mm" into her mouth as the crotch of your pants presses into her nightie.

Your lips smack as she abruptly pulls her face away. You reflexively take your leg back. She licks her lips and rubs them together, furrowing her brow, looking down. She takes a deep breath through her nose. "I shouldn't," she whines. “He-”

You nuzzle your nose against hers without kissing her. "It's ok," you whisper into her cheek. “He's not gonna know.” You kiss her cheek, still wet and salty with tears. Then you kiss her neck, and she doesn't stop you.

She repeats your words. "He's not. . .mm--hes not gonna know."

You can't resist her. You put your leg over hers again. This time, her thigh nudges between your legs. Your hand comes to the warm bare skin of her upper back. She's sweet, and she feels spring loaded with desire. You begin to suck her neck. She sighs and melts into your arms. God, no wonder Joel can't keep his hands off her. You could devour her.

You're beginning to suck her neck harder than you realize. "Careful," she whispers and she's right. Her hand comes to your face and she nudges your chin so your lips return to hers. You grind against her thigh and her hand comes between you. Your pants suddenly loosen - she's quietly unbuttoned your jeans. You urgently kick them off, briefly wondering if Joel would kill you, but unable to stop. You'll hear them get back, and it'll be like you just went to bed. You leave your underwear on.

As soon as your pants are off, your bodies and faces come together. You breathe through your nose as you kiss her and nudge the loose strap of her nightie off her shoulder. You palm her tit and feel a bolt of need between your legs. You pry your mouth from hers and bring your lips to her breast, sucking her nipple into your mouth. She lets out a whimper. You're gentle and careful.

You nudge her onto her back and you lie on your right side with your left leg over hers. Your lips return to hers and you grab her thigh as you kiss. Your hand slides up her thigh and you find she's not wearing panties. Yours are soaked, she can probably feel it against her hip as you grind against her. You're mostly on top of her now. but still bracing some of your weight on your right arm. You lift your leg enough to put your hand between her thighs. Your clit twitches when your fingers touch her curls. Your middle finger nudges between her folds and she's dripping for you.

Your lips break apart as she shudders at your touch. Your nipples harden and you breathe heavily against each other's cheeks. She holds onto the sheets and her hips lift into your hand. You rub her, and your clit throbs. You've only been touching her for a minute when she lets out a little whimper. She's so sensitive. She moans and you catch it in your mouth, kissing her again. Her mouth falls away from yours with another moan, and her spine arches. Her body jerks and she whines. "Jo–ohh," she whines as she cums, then whispers "shit," with her brows furrowed, "Mmm."

You're throbbing against her hip. Her noises are so sweet. You lightly grind against her as she finishes, and you begin to pulse. You bring your hand from her cunt back to her breast and press yourself against her. You kiss her again with her nipple digging into your palm and your hips pressing into her as you ride out your peak. When you're finished, you take your weight off her and roll back onto your side. You lightly stroke her hand. It's kinda sweet that she can't cum without thinking about him.

"I'm sorry," she whispers. "I wasn't thinking. I just–"

"It's ok," you whisper and fix her nightie. "It's how it should be." She turns on her side to face you. "He loves you," you reassure her. Her eyes widen and get watery, then she pinches them shut and shakes her head.

"Carter thinks so," you whisper.

"Really?" She asks and opens her eyes like that means something.

You nod. "Some people just… have their own way."

She sniffles. "Thank you."

You put your pants back on and fix her hair for her, then you get a blanket from the other room and you lie on top of the comforter. You feel bad for her. You thought she was so lucky - dicked down by Joel Miller at least once a day and it's no secret what he's packing. You saw her as queen consort of the raiders. The men were afraid to even look at her. At first you were a little jealous of how much Carter cared about protecting her, until you were around them enough to see she was like a little sister to him. The way Carter talks about Joel, it’s obvious Joel's crazy about her. But he needs to show her, damn. He needs to show her with something other than his dick and his gun, even though it's hot how violently protective and possessive he is. Hopefully he at least goes down on her. Shit, he's probably really good at it. You want to know but don't want to make her sad by asking. You imagine their private moments as you drift off.

You fall asleep.

and I guess you could have an MFFM dream where you're making out while your guys fuck you
