Swiss x reader

A/n: plz reblog and give me ur thoughts!

“Oh? You like that bunny?” A large ghoul says, a hand holding your head extremely close to the big knotted base of Swiss’s cock.

His other hand holding his phone, his arm tense and making his veins pop as his whole body feel incredibly high off of the way your pretty doe eyes look up at him. Swiss’s eyes are like melted sugar, his sweat caramelizing his delicious grey skin with a chocolatey undertone. His eyes squeeze shut, feeling your fingers caress his heavy balls.

“Fuck- you little-“ he’s cut off by his own groan, “ah~”

All Swiss hears is your angel voice say some muffled sentence under his aching cock.

“You’re lucky I don’t bend you over and fuck you face first into a pillow, naughty girl.” Swiss’s voice is raspy and tangy with venom.

His cock getting hard in your mouth, the heat, feeling his heartbeat on your tongue. Then the precum oozes out of his cock, it tastes delicious. With all of that awarding praise, a mouthful of warm cum awaits which you always swallow and love the taste of.

Swiss is a strong and thick ghoul, his voice is sturdy and his touch is perfect, but he can’t help that he’s a bit sensitive where his swollen tip meets the rest of his length.

His cock is so warm and fitting, a mouth full for sure. His knees lock and he tightens his grip on your hair.

At this point, the camera on Swiss’s phone might not even be focusing on you. From how blissed out he is, how beautiful his moans sound.

He sounds like a siren singing a song, you are infact past dead if not dying again. He’s just so huge, so thick, so much to swallow. You feel his hard tip jamming against the back of your throat, probably leaving purple bruises.

“Bunny can you take my knot this way?” He tries to calm down, catching his knot against your red lips.

You don’t care, you might choke or gag, you might even throw up at how big he has chubbed up inside of your hot and wet cavern.

You nod.

Swiss begins to fuck into you, moving his hips to meet your chin.

You can’t breathe.

It’s too much, your nose is now up against his abdomen and your hands can’t help but find themselves grabbing and clawing at his lower back as he goes ruthless on you.

Without any warning, his knot passes your lips, a hard stretch that makes your whole body shake. It leaves tears rolling down your cheeks and your eye brows furrow.

Your cheeks match the dusty shade of red on his tip as he pulls out quickly.

You whimper

“Why did he pull out?” You think, but the amount of hot white liquid squirting onto your face is answering your question.

You’re blinded now, all senses burned away, all thoughts focused on your now covered face.

“M~ sorry bunny..” he apologized with a shaky voice, “I didn’t want to hurt you any more that I already did.”

Oh dear…you can’t even see his face because when you look up all your met with is his milking cock…blocking all sight…

Statue of The Republic by Daniel Chester French 1893. Going to make this my '4th of July post', happy 4th all! Sources and more images on my blog, link at bottom.

The Republic statue was created for the Chicago World Fair of 1893 and was known by a variety of names: The Golden Lady, The Republic, Goddess of the Republic, and Statue of Liberty. The fair lasted from May 1st-October 30th. About 50 different countries participated in the fair and 18 erected their own buildings at the site. The site was known as the "White City" for its predominant white Greco-Roman style buildings. It also featured the first ferris wheel, created by George Washington Gale Ferris Jr. for the event.

After the fair closed the small city was destroyed in 3 fires, but the Goddess statue survived all of them:

"On January 8, 1894, the first great post-Fair fire consumed much of the east end of the Court of Honor. French’s Statue of the Republic stood “in the midst of it all like a gigantic silhouette, with uplifted arms as if appealing for help,” wrote the Chicago Tribune (Jan. 9, 1894). She held her liberty cap defiantly among clouds of black smoke as fierce flames danced around her for more than an hour. While the heat from this “Peristyle Fire” was intense enough to melt the ice on the Grand Basin, it barely tarnished the golden statue. By morning, the conflagration had completely destroyed the Peristyle, Casino, and Music Hall and damaged parts of the Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building. Had the firemen not saved it from the flames, the Republic likely would have burned down that night, too. The next morning, the majestic golden goddess of the Fair looked as brilliant as ever, “except for a blistered right arm and a black spot over her heart,” noted the Chicago Herald." (from worldsfairchicago1893 website)

"When arsonists set a fire on February 14, 1894, the Republic watched the blaze destroy much of the South Colonnade between Agricultural Hall and Machinery Hall. She faced yet another and much bigger scene of horrific destruction on July 5, 1894, as the western end of the Court of Honor burned in another arsonous fire. Seven buildings—Terminal Station, the Administration Building, Mines and Mining Building, Electrical Building, Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building, Agricultural Building, and Machinery Hall—succumbed to the inferno. The next morning, a single serene statue towered above a field of blackened ruins of twisted iron framework." (from worldsfairchicago1893)

"...the Chicago Inter Ocean also recognized that, with the surrounding buildings of the White City gone, the Republic now stood to better advantage: “Particularly was this so when last winter the golden figure towered above an unbroken field of snow. On the night of the last fire the flames seemed to separate and pass by on either side, and when the sun rose the next morning there seemed nothing left untouched but the golden woman of the lagoon.” (from worldsfairchicago1893)

“With only the sky for a background,” observed the Washington (DC) Evening Star, the statue “shows it proportions and lines to better effect now than before.” (from worldsfairchicago1893)

Redesign plans for the area to be turned into a park by Olmsted, Olmsted & Eliot initially included the statue at its current location but later omitted it from the plans. Minimal efforts were made to repair the parts of the statue that had been damaged and the city decided, in secret, to destroy it:

"While the South Park board had spent around $250,000 making improvements to Jackson Park, focused mostly on the northern end near the museum, they had devoted a mere $400 for repairing staff and repainting the Republic. This despite a claim by J. F. Foster, General Superintendent and Engineer for the South Park Commission, that “every effort had been made to preserve the statue.” On Thursday, August 27, Captain Kelly of the South Park Police placed the orders to burn the Republic the next morning, and Capt. Shippy of the Woodlawn police notified the fire companies in the district that a blaze would be set in Jackson Park at dawn. When taking this decisive action at their meeting on August 12, the South Park board chose to keep the execution a secret. They delegated the task of destroying the statue to mechanical engineer and Assistant Park Superintendent A. H. Wilder, who chose fire as his tool. The Commission deemed burning the statue at night too hazardous because it would attract too many people, and a proposal for a public ceremony and celebration also was dismissed. They thought it best to raze the Republic—in secret—at daybreak. Her executioners slipped away quietly as crowds arrived on the scene, curious about the smoke rising over the park."

Blog on Udaipur

Udaipur is a true gem of Rajasthan, described as the "City of Lakes." This city was established in 1559 by Maharana Udai Singh II, after the former capital, Chittorgarh, was captured by the Mughal emperor Akbar. He wanted to form a new capital for his kingdom. Strategically set in the rich Girwa Valley amidst the rolling Aravalli Hills, this acted as natural protection against attacks.

Maharana Pratap is one of the most celebrated sons of Udaipur, remembered for his continuous resistance against the forces of Akbar, as in the famous Battle of Haldighati in 1576. Even after the defeat of Pratap, his defiance became a symbol of Rajput valor and independence.

Marathas invaded Udaipur in the 18th century and later, the rulers applied to be placed under British protection in 1818 under a treaty. On India's independence in 1947, Udaipur was integrated into the Indian Union but continued to retain all its historic and cultural values.

I think I am a kind, caring, and affectionate (to very few people tho). My hobbies include writing, reading, listening to music, cooking, baking, and photography. My love language is physical touch and quality time, also I love making playlists for people I love (can we make this a love language please??). My fav subject is psychology and economics. I prefer tea over coffee.

My cards are heart, diamond, and spade.

My choice of word is serene.

YOUR SOULMATE: Ushijima Wakatoshi

TROPE: connected dreams | soulmate au

GENRE: romance | fluff! | soulmate universe | dreams | mutual pining

GIST: Every time you flutter your eyes close and succumb to sleep, you meet with a man from your dreams. Last night, the two of you went by the shore, your favorite place with him, and watched the serene waves meet with the sun. It was peaceful, perfect escapism from your busy and chaotic life. But as soon as you wake up, your world with him diminishes. At some point, you were convinced that he was real, but your rational mind argues to differ. Not until you decided to go visit your favorite place with him. As soon as your bare feet touch the sands, you see the same man from your dreams. He is relaxing by the shore underneath a palm tree. His vision darting to every direction as if he was waiting for you to come.

DIAMOND: best friend

YOUR BEST FRIEND: Morisuke Yaku

TROPE: childhood best friends

GENRE: wholesome fluff! | slice of life | purely platonic tho other argue it's not lol

GIST: Your serene afternoon was disturbed by an enthusiastic greeting from your best friend and libero of the volleyball team, Morisuke Yaku. He slumps next to you with his hands carrying the weight of his upper body by anchoring it behind him. He looks at you sideways and directly spots the fake smile on your face. “What’s wrong?” that’s a thing between the two of you. You have known him for more than you could remember, and the boy could instantly notice the shift in your mood by the minuscule changes in your facial expression. He grins, knowing precisely what he should do to make you smile. “I was thinking of giving this to you on your birthday, but today is probably the best time for it.” From the pocket of his shorts, he pulls out an old mp3 player, along with it is a wired earphone connected to the device. “I found this in my drawer and thought of giving it to you.” his smile stretches, making his eyes turn into crescent moons “It's my turn to make you a playlist.”

SPADES: ex lover

YOUR EX: Oikawa Tooru

TROPE: unresolved feelings

GENRE: angst | moving on | hurt with comfort | a bit suggestive | exes with benefits? | exes | why is tooru so fun to write as an ex? lmao

GIST: Your trip to the rural part of the country serves as your stress reliever for the hectic week that passed, and accompanying you in this adventure is a DSLR and film camera. One of your past-time hobbies includes photography, and one of your favorite subjects is a serene view from the mountain top. It was all doing well until your camera caught a familiar figure from a distance. His back is facing you and but his head is turned sideways. You knew him so well to know who the person was. Oikawa Tooru, your ex boyfriend. His hand slowly reaches for the woman's hand next to him before intertwining it with his. The woman giggles at the affection the boy shows. And you, feeling quite bitter with what you see, walk out and immediately delete the photo you have of him.

A lot of the time you’re at the Beach Hut, you and Bakugo decide what really goes on during the day; going to a nearby pier, relaxing in the hut with a book or a board game. But Bakugo realises that Tamaki hasn’t put his 2 cents in: - “Kay’ - we’ve got Kayla’s ice cream. What are we doin’ afterwards?” “I-I d-dunno... What do you wanna’ d-do afterwards?” Bakugo frowns, a little irritated. “Y’know this is your holiday too. Choose somethin’ you’ve been wantin’ to do - it’s about makin’ memories, and shit like that. You’re gonna’ regret it if you keep a lid on yourself all the time...” -

Bonfires are a must! On the nights where the forecast is good, you guys stay till the sky is full of stars. There’s something about the crackle and combustion of a bonfire, and the serenity of the sun setting upon the ocean, that just sits right with all of you. It’s just a perfect way to end the day

44 and 51 with Mimosa 👀👀👀

44: foursome

51: breeding season

Mimosa: mountain ghoul

A/n: sorry this is short, but I HAD to get it off and out. It’s not proof read, neither is it nice and slow. But I also crave to finish this aether/cirrus ask

Everyone says that ghouls in heat are insane, feral, or even dangerous. After years of doubting this “myth”, you didn’t expect to find a particular ghoul of yours acting so strange with his pack mates.

You had only cracked open the door to his room, you were concerned by all of the huffing and puffing, whimpers and moans.

But your mind had NOT prepared you in any way to see this!

There mountain was, on his knees taking another ghouls dick in his mouth. He’s whimpering and crying, tears spilling down his cheeks, eyes red, cheeks pink, the tips of his pointed ears red. The more you took in the situation, the more you noticed how he humped a pillow. His long cock was purple by now, the tip swollen and almost blue.

You looked at the ghoul face fucking him, which seemed to be aether, he didn’t bother looking at you. It seemed like he was also crying from pleasure, as well as his ears red. You noticed the other ghoul, watching from afar.

You just stood there, taking in the ghouls one bye one. You looked at aether, almost loosing himself on the heat of mountains mouth. Then to mountain, who just stood there pitifully looking at you, begging you for release. A soft whimper caught your attention, the ghoulette in the back behind mountain on his green silky bed. She rubbed circles on her Clit, her cunt pulsating with her heart beat, how her juices dripped out.

“Mm- p- ease.” Mountain muttered as aether pulled out of his wet mouth, his dick springing up.

“Let me- please I beg of you.” He whimpered, dragging you into his arms.

He pulled at your clothes, taking them off quickly.

“Mountain?!” You gasp, his fangs sinking into your neck, droplets of blood falling.

“Need to fill you~ I need I have to stuff you bunny…”

“What- I, mounti are you in heat?” You franticly ask watching a mix of blood and slobber roll down your neck.

“Yes~ we all- fuck- are.” The ghoulette moaned, crawling to the scene.

“Fuck,” you whine, feeling heat pool between your legs, “yes, yes, holy shit.”

As soon as “yes” left your soft pretty lips,

Aether slid right to between your thighs, pulling your underwear off and going to town.

The way his tongue felt was angelic, the hot wetness of the ghoul spreading your pussy lips apart and lapping at your clit was a sensation you never thought would feel so blissful.

Mountain choked a sob, feeling your hand accidentally bump into his erection.

“Please- I need your dick now, please aeth…” the ghoulette said, her ass sticking up as she slid closer to him.

The minute aether left your thighs, he went straight to squeezing and pinching her tits.

Mountain grabbed your arms, twisting you around onto his lap.

“You- baby you know our safe words.” Mountain said, impatience making his claws grow longer.

“Y-yes!” Mountain tugs at your hair, pulling you back to where he could see your gaping hole soaked already.

“Fuck please, please fuck me up mount.” You beg, grabbing ahold of his cock and positioning it right under your throbbing clit.

Mountain pushes you off of him, shoving you into the floor and slamming into you with full force. Your breathe is nocked out of you, and you bounce under him with every unforgiving thrust.

His cock hits the perfect place, sending you to pleasure heaven right on the spot.

You’re already so close, so near ready to feel him paint your walls. Who was this? Was this mountain? Was this a ghouls heat?

Till Death Do You Part {Part 2} (UF Frans)

Her young Lord made her happier than she could ever express. At that moment as her eyes met his, letting the veil of her brilliant white wedding dress fall away, that was the moment she knew she had fallen in love with him. Her soul fluttered just basking in that gentle grin of his. Even after the ceremony, she couldn’t keep the smile off her face. 

The festivities were rather lavish but instead of presenting her to the crowd, she felt his arms around her waist. He pulled her away to bring her to the veranda where the sun slipped behind the mountains beyond. They both watched as the sky shifted from soft blues to deep pinks, “May I have a dance with my beautiful bride?”

She turned in his arms as the temperature began to decrease, “You do not find it too cold?” Her eyes fell closed as the skin of his palm met her cool cheek. The cold had always been harsher for her than it did for others. It did not take much for her dainty form to begin to shiver but his hands were warm, soothing. 

He found himself feeling more relaxed as he stared down at her, an amused grin playing on his lips, “Hardly. I find the calm and serenity of the night far purer than the harsh light of day. It holds its own beauty. None of which can compare to your own.” A gentle hand-worked to brush a few strands of stray auburn hair from her face. What was he saying that was true and which was a deception? He could no longer separate them.   

Instead of dwelling on his sudden spark of emotion he slipped his hand into hers and swayed along with the violins playing in the background. He wanted his privacy with her since he knew far too well that the eyes of his siblings would be on him. 

As a lady of status under her father’s name, Frisk, had been taught to dance with as much grace and poise as royalty. At times her governess was rather harsh but that did not stop her from enjoying the time she had with her new husband. She ended up in a twirl as he pulled her back against him, “I find the evening to be peaceful but I tend to feel its icy bite rather quickly I’m afraid.” Red slipped his hand to her shoulder before removing his coat. Ever the gentlemen. 

He draped the garment just over her porcelain shoulders making sure that she retained the warmth she needed. A vampire like him certainly had no need for outerwear and the magical blood that coursed through his veins gave off that supernatural warmth. It was one of the reasons why no humans had suspected his rather rare affliction, pale or not. 

He brought his hand to adjust the cravat resting at his neck to loosen the fabric's hold. The styles had changed little over the centuries but he could without a doubt say he would much rather be comfortable than the latter, “I do not wish for you to catch your death of cold. Shall we retire for the evening?” Red could feel her shivering just beneath the layer of his coat. 

So fragile. 

His instinct was to bring her back to the celebration so he would prevent his brother’s suspicions but he let this moment linger. He leaned down letting his lips nestle into the crown of her hair. A vampire’s sense was heightened but why did he just now capture that sweet scent of honeysuckle and lavender? Her scent left him bewitched,  "Now we begin our life together Frisk." Their “life” together. It was a shame he didn’t know how long that would be. 

Taking his time had never been his way. He was very much a fast mover, gentlemanly in all the ways that mattered but a demon inside. He had torn through bodies, bathed in blood, and far more horrifying activities. And here... here was this sweet intelligent young woman that looked up at him with the most tender smile. Her eyes sparkled in the flickering gas lamps. Those dainty soft lips parting to speak something he was barely paying attention to. 

“I would not want it any other way.”

He found himself pulling away from her enough so that he could tilt her chin up to look at him. A part of him wanted to tell her of his 400 plus year ruse but alas he could not bring himself to do so. Instead, he found himself tracing those pretty pink lips with the pad of his thumb, leaning forward and brushing his own against hers. 

His eyes fell closed, sliding his fingers into that lustrous red hair, pulling her closer to him. A kiss that was meant to last. It had to have been the sweetest kiss that he had ever given anyone, perhaps, the only one. He could not stop himself from deepening it only to be forcefully yanked out of the moment. Frisk had pulled away from him now nursing a bleeding lip.

He let his glamor slip during that one moment of passion. His eyes blazed bright ruby before returning to their faux chocolatey hue but his bride did not seem to notice as he caressed her cheek, “Are you alright?” He produced a white cloth from the inside of the coat she was now wearing, dabbing at the wound. There were many things he could have done, erase her memory, use his own abilities to heal her, or try to explain it away. It wasn’t clear if he could even do so in the first place. Never had he once used his powers on her.

She giggled softly, “No need to worry I am perfectly fine.” He could practically feel the love radiating off her as she adjusted their position to touch his platinum, nearly white, blonde hair.  He didn’t have to use compulsion at all, “It is a simple cut and nothing more.” 

Why did she not question it? She may have been fine but he began to struggle with his more heightened senses. He could feel her pulse fluttering against his fingertips. How that sweet scent of her blood lingered in the air. His control was impeccable but she was not just any meal. It forced him to swallow thickly as he swept her off her feet, “Shall we retire for the evening, my Love?” 

It was pure instinct when he scooped her into his arms. That only made his hunger far worse than before. He couldn’t and he wouldn’t. Not yet. He decided to make up some excuse that his bride was exhausted from the evening events and that now it was time for him to return home with her. No one seemed to question it, not even her father.

They returned to his estate only to find her relaxing peacefully against him. Her sweet blood still was branded into his senses but he no longer struggled to prevent himself from sinking his fangs into her jugular. It was not like he did not want to, however, after as long as he had been living he knew how to maintain control. The reason others ended up staked or worse was because they chose not to. Many vampires had a superiority complex. 

Her skin was no longer cold to the touch as he set her down to see her new room, their room. Tomorrow he would take great care to show her around the estate but for now, he wanted her to get some rest. 

Frisk was nervous. As wonderful as the day was and as much as she adored her new husband the idea of post-marital obligations caused her cheeks to flush in embarrassment. She was sure that he would expect that of her but she didn’t know. A young lady was supposed to please her husband on their wedding night. 

They of course were alone in the bedroom and she truly was exhausted. There was no way that she would be able to remove this dress by herself. One should not sleep in such finery. She had to ask him for help which painted a darker blush over her pale cheeks, “May I ask for some help?” He obliged her request as the zipper slowly gave way to her smooth porcelain skin, feeling his presence behind her. 

His hands just rested on her shoulders brushing his fingers the length of her spine. When it came to his self-control in this area he had always failed. Her skin was so soft, nearly as pale as freshly fallen snow. He wanted to be gentle with her, unlike his usual escapades, trailing kisses along her neck. Even though she didn’t breathe a word he could tell she was scared. He mused that it was far from the true reason she should have been but he found it sweet nonetheless, “You need not do anything that frightens you. I feel it’s better for you to rest.” 

He had picked up on her nerves it would seem. It was embarrassing especially at how much she wanted to give in after feeling his mouth on her neck and shoulders. Most would remind her of her “duty” but he did the opposite. She didn’t quite know if she was ready for that yet. As a true gentleman he understood. He had since the very beginning, “I... know my vows... what is supposed to take place but I...” 

Red had a difficult time placating that side of him but he couldn’t deny the sweet voice that wavered as she spoke. It reminded him of a frightened little kitten, “You need not worry about it. If you wish I shall draw you a warm bath and we can simply enjoy each other’s company before slumber takes us both.” There was no pressure on her from him. Was that what love was?

She did as he suggested, taking a warm bath, slipping into something comfortable for evening wear, and then fell asleep next to him. Unbeknownst to her, however, she ended up snuggling up to him in the middle of the night. In her mind, it was the perfect evening to end a perfect day.

He could have fed from her, taken that precious lifeblood as his hunger grew but he abstained. In more ways than one. She was not a doll, yet her kind and gentle nature filled him with this indescribable protective and possessive instinct. The call of her blood was strong so much so he found his face buried in the crook of her neck later into the night without realizing it. 

Just a taste...

That sweet taste during the party lingered on his tongue and it was driving him mad. He shouldn’t have to hold back who he was. It was something he refused to care about before. His thoughts drifted to their moment on the veranda. This was no longer about a stupid game or a simple meal for him. No, this was a hunger he had barely known before and feelings he thought died with his final breath. 

She stirred next to him, feeling his warm breath tickling the side of her neck. His arm was wrapped around her waist pressing her flush against him as his lips worked over the skin. They were sweet kisses at first only for her breath to hitch. A sharp pain pricked her throat before it dulled and eventually numbed. Did he just bite her?

Her blood was the single most delicious thing he had ever tasted in his life. The moment he sank his fangs into that supple flesh a warmth spilled into his mouth. Most human’s blood tasted just fine but hers was like drinking straight from a well of dopamine. The power hidden that just resided in her blood was incredible. He could practically taste the magic on the tip of his tongue as he pulled back to look at her. 

A thin line of ruby dripped from the corner of his mouth,  glamour now gone. She saw what it had been hiding all along. His canines were far sharper than any humans were, his eyes a gemstone ruby that contrasted her sapphire. Her eyes were wide as she gazed upon him. She watched, petrified as his thumb slipped over his mouth to wipe at the excess of life he had taken from her. He, however, just looked down at her not saying a word and in the end, he wouldn’t let her say anything either. After a meal like that his powers would be at full strength and he could easily wipe that memory away. 

His fingers slipped under her chin, having her look deeply into his eyes as he used his abilities to suggest the scene away. She simply had a nightmare in the throes of the night. That was all he had to do, quickly healing the puncture wound that marked her nearly perfect flesh so she would be none the wiser. 

He was glad it had worked without complications. The worry that her magic would have made her a touch resistant was but a musing that seemed unfounded. His fear was not of her physical harm but rather her emotional... her mental harm. He was what he was and there was no changing that but here she was sleeping soundly next to him. This is where he wanted to be. He rolled to his side to peck her cheek before wishing her a good morning, "hmm.. good morning my Love."

The following morning she did not utter a word about the nightmare that had come to her. Her body felt a touch weary but when she received that gentle kiss she turned to him with a soft smile. Nothing could change her view on him, not even the fears she had been gripped by the previous night. Her hand came up to play with some of the hair at the back of his neck, "Good morning." He nuzzled into the side of her keeping her close to him, "Did you sleep well?" A little test, surely.

She nodded still half dazed from the sun now filtering through the curtains, "Just a little tired." A soft chuckle came from her as she looked up at him lovingly, "I think my happiness of being wed to the finest gentleman took quite the energy from me." Her eyes fluttered closed residing comfortably in his arms.

She honestly could not be happier, "I love you."

He returned her declaration with one of his own, “And I, you.” 

----------------------------------------

That's how it was for months though the poor thing started to feel more lightheaded, weaker. It grew worse but she still tried to keep up her carefree personality even though she was in pain. She rested on the bed, propping her back up with a pillow and reading a book. Her husband had told her to rest regardless of her physical state and so she did. It couldn't be helped but she felt bad that she couldn't do the things she used to. The things that were expected of her.

He played the worried husband but knew for a fact that it was because he was feeding on her often, just enough to keep her weak but not enough to kill her. It would soon be half a year since he slipped that wedding band on her finger. It was far longer than any had lasted before but could that be to his own doing? This was common now. A young woman so full of life and love wasn't meant to be bedridden like this.

He came in with hot soup, tea, and the medicine that her doctor had prescribed to treat her ailments that morning, "My dear? I've made you soup and tea as the doctor advised..." he replied softly, setting the tray on the nightstand with a light clatter.

Even her once gemstone vibrant eyes seemed paler. The very thing that spoke to his very soul. She tried her best to smile at him softly when he came in the room but there were days when the pain was far too much to bear, "Thank you." 

I’m sorry.

Their unspoken bond allowed him to hear her thoughts if he so desired and he accidentally let that fact slip from his mouth, "There is no need to feel sorry my Love. We cannot help that you fell ill... And I believe you will survive and begin to thrive again soon.” His voice was soft, loving, caring exactly how he felt at that moment. It was his own doing after all that had made his blushing, lively wife bedridden. If his brothers came to call and found her perfectly healthy then they would not hesitate to be rid of her. 

She tried to keep it together not realizing she had not spoken her apology out loud. Her eyes had begun to water, "I've been such a burden." Every time that she blinked another trail of tears were carved onto her already stained cheeks. Red knew he had finally gained a heart because it was breaking, "You have not. Now dry those tears, my love." He brought his lips to her forehead to place a chaste kiss there, "I love you all the same. This moment shall pass. You have my promise."

She nodded gently after that sweet little kiss, "I love you too." It was so hard for him to see her like this. In her mind, she had failed and all those sweet promises from so long ago seemed impossible now, "I pray I get better soon."

Once again she fell asleep unable to keep her consciousness in the waking world, "You will my dear.. I have faith” he whispered softly when he knew she no longer could hear him. While she was asleep his brothers showed up with a soft ring of the outside bell. This was far from the acceptable time to be entertaining those two. It caught him off guard as he hadn't been expecting them.

He continued to let her rest before heading to the main foyer and swinging open the door. Naturally he would be excited to see his two older brothers but his mind was filled with his wife's misfortune, "Carthus? Gered? What are you both doing here? Is there some sort of occasion I have become unawares?" He knew damn well why they had appeared at his doorstep.

Carthus had his arms crossed as he glanced at his brother, "What? We can't see how our baby brother is doing? I feel as though I should be offended in some way. Are you going to invite us inside?"

He had no choice as he gestured toward the living area. The same in which just months before he had joked about the end of his beloved, "But of course. Be quiet, lest you wake my wife. She is asleep with illness." His tone was firm as he shut the door with a soft click. He had to restrain himself from growling as the eldest spoke up, "Why do you care about her at all brother?" Gered asked with a raised brow.

Carthus stepped inside still ever with an amused smirk plastered to his handsome face, "Ah yes... illness. How... unfortunate. I wonder why that is." He just waved his hand gently before heading toward the formal sitting area. Play the game, "Yes... a terribly dreadful thing. The doctor hopes for the best but he cannot seem to find the source." Red followed them to the sitting area playing the dutiful host, "Wine, brothers?" he offered, pulling out a special bottle. 

Gered snatched a glass from the tray, crossing one leg over the other, "Yes... Now I wonder... we've both done away with our little pets brother.. but what of your little... fancy?" There it was and he could tell Gered was suspicious before he was even allowed to explain himself.

Carthus could not help the smirk on his face, "Is that even a question? It has been months. You are usually finished in days. It is rather... strange." The middle brother eyed Gered who he was sure had the same question.

Red poured a few glasses giving him time to think, "Ah but you see she has mage blood, and the amount of power I receive from just one feeding rivals any other empty-headed fool I should have the misfortune to stumble across in the coming decade.” His finger tapped at the glass of ruby liquid he was now staring into, “I take all the necessary precautions of course. I wipe her memory each time. She is none the wiser." He said the words flatly with barely any hint of emotion.

Once again the switch to his humanity had been temporarily flipped off. It was required to play the game. He was doing it for her and he knew she would be the one to switch it back within moments. His brother seemed placated by his response. Gered took his glass, swirling the contents before taking a sip, "Curious... so you toy with her then?"

----------------------------------------

Frisk's eyes fluttered open just catching voices. Who was downstairs? Even in the grip of physical pain, she was as spirited as ever. She got out of bed slowly before making herself presentable and heading down the steps. When she was close enough she stopped. He rarely talked about his family. What were they like she wondered?   

Carthus swirled his glass like he usually did, leaning back into his chair as if he were a king, "So you are keeping the human alive due to her being special. Is that what I am being led to believe, brother?"

Red removed himself from the decanter and stood before enjoying the vintage he had picked out for himself. It was actually wine this time though there was that hint of a distinct metallic tang to the human senses, "Of course. She is quite delicious for a human, rather enjoyable. She will end up falling eventually anyway. It is the way of their fragile little bodies."

Carthus just laughed, "Indeed though I much prefer the fear that flows through them when they discover the truth of our kin and now they are going to die by the fangs of such a creature. An honor if any at least that they bore witness to our ability before the light is extinguished from their eyes.~" He had always been the sadist.

Frisk froze solid listening to them talk. Delicious? Human? Fragile? CREATURE?! Her soul sunk into her chest. It hurt but nothing like the physical pain she had been in these past months. What kind of a creature lived by the throes of the night, took human form, had an aristocratic lineage, and were sustained by the life of human beings? The conclusion was far too fantastical to believe. VAMPIRE. 

He... the one she loved not only was using her but he was a vampire. The night of her wedding she finally realized that her nightmare was no figment at all. It was the truth. That was why she was so weak.

He was killing her, slowly. The heartbroken girl couldn't keep the tears from her eyes as she placed a hand over her mouth holding back any noise that might alert them that she was listening. Her soul felt as though it had cracked in two and so did her heart. 

Why? She was so naive. The worst part was... even knowing what he was she would have offered to ease his hunger but no. He lied to her and pretended that he cared. 

That was so much worse.

She wouldn’t be able to see that the words he had spoken in an effort to deflect his siblings, pained him. He looked down at his chest now tight with anguish. Frisk. Why do you hurt so? Even he did not know she was hiding just beyond the threshold so near to him.

hi there ! this is my first time participating in one of these events so I hope I'm doing it right 👉👈. so some fun facts about me are that

1) I cut my bangs/hair that frames my face probably every two weeks because I can't decide what style suits me best

2) I tend to hyperfixate a lot even though I know that I shouldn't

3) I work at a clothing store where people bring in their old clothes and we give them a portion of the profit after we sell it. its my first and only job and absolutely love doing it.

My favorite place in the world is the bank of a creek by mt old house. its super serene and beautiful; and completely quiet. my favorite spot was a clearing in the grass where I could set down a chair and just look at the water flow by and see the crawfish swim.

Your writing is wonderful, thank you so much kskdjcid 🥺

aaaa I forgot to ask for a scenario as well in my ask (if you don't mind 👉👈)

thank you for sending this in <3 this is the last matchup of the event! happy new year everyone!

your new year’s kiss will be...

someone who’s quite observant; he doesn’t say much but he always tells you which hairstyle he’s liked the most on you, and sees your new hyperfixations a lot

visiting you at work! he loves to see you do what you like because it just brings a simple smile on his face

accommodating with your hyperfixations, but also tries to make sure you’re open to other coping mechanisms

in the comfort of your own home, just quiet and enjoying each others’ presence

hanamaki takahiro!

there is nothing that needs to be said when the sky is clear and the grass is green and he looks at you like you’re made of the prettiest and nicest smelling flowers.

you’re sat in your chair, looking over the bank of the creek, waiting for and watching the crawfish pass idly along the current. it’s a silent sight, with wind picking up underneath your fingertips reminding you of the lighter days.

your head turns to the side, and there sits your boyfriend on an identical chair, eyes already pointed at you.

“how do you like it?” you extend your hand, motioning towards all the greenery surrounding the creek by your old house.

hanamaki nods, a satisfied expression on his face, “it’s nice. serene.”

your legs fold up, and you curl up on the chair, letting the sun bask on your skin. you start telling your boyfriend a story of some thing in some place at some point in your life that he hadn’t known of before. he laughs with every comical pause and gasps at every dramatic turn of words.

he thinks you’re beautiful - and tells you.

when your stories taper into comfortable silence, hanamaki shifts in his chair, his chin resting on the palm of his hand. this way, he’s all eyes on you.

“you’re beautiful.”

with your thighs held against your chest, you turn ninety degrees in your seat, facing the man. his hair is longer, his build is bigger, and yet his forward attitude towards you remains the way you’ve always remembered it. 

“might have to double check if we know the same person you’re calling beautiful.”

he swats his hand out, “stop it. you’re hot.”

you exhale through your nose, “thanks.”

“and your hair.” he gestures lazily, calmly, yet his voice seems full of energy.

“what about it?”

“it suits you,” he states matter-of-factly.

“you say that all the time-”

“no, for real. anything suits you.”

you roll your eyes, “and what if i shave off all my hair one day?”

“i’d kiss it,” hanamaki grins cheekily, “and then rub oil on it. so it’s shiny.”

you laugh at his response, enjoying his calm presence underneath the warm sun. it’s in these times, when the world is reduced to your direct surroundings and you’re accompanied by the man you call your lover, that you fall into your romance, quietly spoken in words and in silence.

this was the last matchup for my 300 + 400 event! thank you for participating, truly <3

WIND BENEATH MY WINGS

400 followers special! here is a kamado tanjirou x reader as a sign of my gratitude to all of you for your support. if you wish for an event, do let me know. if not, i am content in simply keeping my request inbox open and allow requests to flood my notification. this song is based on the song wind beneath by wings by bette midler. there will be another song fic after this one, so watch out for that! (or maybe you can send me a song and a character and i’ll write them throughout the whole weekend to the next end of next week!)

it must have been cold there in my shadow

to never have sunlight on your face

you were content to let me shine, that’s your way

you always walked a step behind

Tanjirou has a smile that could warm someone up like the sun during summer, the patience of a saint which never wavers, the voice of an angel like music to one’s ears and a heart of gold. What is it in this world that deserve such a human being like Kamado Tanjirou? 

He has always been content to be behind someone to support them, being in their shadow for the purpose of being their pillar, as ironic as that sounds. His kindness is astonishing; to be filled with such serenity, warmth and consideration in one body is something to be awed over.

so i was the one with all the glory

while you were the one with all the strength

If anything, Tanjirou is everyone’s strength and last bit of sanity; he’s stubborn but tender at the same time because he always lends his shoulder for someone to lean and cry on. However, anyone with that fortitude and warm smile hides pain and trauma.

a beautiful face without a name for so long

a beautiful smile to hide the pain

Even you don’t understand how he can stand on his own after what happened to him in the past; to his family, to his friends - to everyone else who he had seen perished right before his very own eyes. The trauma is overwhelming for any normal human being, yet he’s still standing on his own two feet while carrying the weight of his burdens as well as everyone else’s. You voice your concern to him but he simply waves it off dismissively as something small.

But you know it’s not.

Nights when he thought that everyone is asleep, when he thought you were asleep, he sheds the tears he’s been holding back. It’s exhausting, you realised, to carry his burdens and the death of his family and close friends weigh him down to the point it must have been disheartening. You wanted to reach out and hold his hand, and tell him everything will be alright but you refrained from doing so, instead, you let him cry and let it all out to his heart’s content.

did you ever know that you’re my hero?

You asked and Tanjirou pauses, confusion swimming behind amber irises - the way he tilts his head brings a smile upon your tiers and without hesitation, you reach out to fold your hand over his.

you’re everything i wish i could be

❝  [name]...  ��  When your hand squeeze his own, it feels like the dam has been broken. Tears brimmed in the corner of his eyes as he leans forward; without a word, you wrap your arms around his shoulders to pull him close against his chest.

You hum,  ❝  For once, let me be your pillar.  ❞

i could fly higher than an eagle

for you are the wind beneath my wings

Tanjirou, the boy who suffers from a lot of trauma and pain from his childhood; Tanjirou who has been everyone’s support through thick and thin; Tanjirou who stubbornly follows the water pillar in order to knock some sense back into his head; Tanjirou who has always carry his own burden on his shoulders and never allowing anyone else to worry about him. 

Tanjirou has always put others before himself, he has always been the one to seek justice. Tanjirou who has been nothing but kind and radiates warmth like the summer’s sun.

Anyone with that fortitude and warm smile hides pain and trauma; you simply cannot carry all your burdens alone. As long as there is someone there you can trust and they are willing enough to help carry that weight, then I’m sure everything will be alright.
