Paradise
Summary: a collection of short drabbles about reveling in nature with them. Includes collecting seashells, making snow angels, picking flowers, climbing trees, cloud watching, stargazing, and more. Names in bold are those I originally built these around, but I decided to expand it to include other characters I could imagine in these scenarios.
Characters: Luffy, Sanji, Zoro, Ace, Sabo, Law, Kid, Shanks, Beckman, Mihawk, Robin, Nami, Usopp
Genre: fluff
——— 
Climbing out of bed before dawn because neither of you can sleep, having a cup of coffee, and walking hand in hand down the beach, stopping to bend down and pick up rare seashells to add to the collection on the bookshelf in your bedroom, not talking much at all but simply admiring your shared bounty in the pale dawn light as the sun creeps over the horizon.   
(Robin, Law, Beckman) 
——— 
Waking up to fresh powder blanketing the ground and jumping out of bed, barely getting your boots and one of his coats on before you’re outside, romping through the snow. Falling into a snow bank with your arms out, giggling as you make a snow angel, grinning even wider when he surprises you by laying down beside you and doing the same, letting his inner child show through for a brief moment. 
(Zoro, Law, Kid, Mihawk) 
——— 
Wandering through a flower field and picking some of the more beautiful blooms that catch your eye, sprawling out on a picnic blanket in the late morning to bask in the sweet scent, enjoying the breeze as it ruffles your hair, weaving some of the flowers you picked into a delicate crown that they wear proudly while the two of you share sweet kisses. 
(Sanji, Nami, Sabo, Corazon) 
——— 
Meandering through the woods in search of the tallest, most impressive tree, him giving you a boost up to the first branch to get you started before climbing up himself, staying behind you the entire time so he can catch you in case you fall. Finally piercing the canopy and poking your heads up above the forest, his hand on your leg to keep you steady, the two of you grinning as birds fly by, basking in the afternoon sun. 
(Luffy, Ace, Sabo) 
——— 
Escaping the chaos of life and climbing a desolate hill, sharing a late afternoon snack as you stare up at the clouds and point out different shapes, saying, “that’s you,” when you see a funny one. Arguing over which one of you gets to be the dragon cloud, your argument turning into roughhousing and the two of you accidentally rolling down the hill, him laughing and kissing your cheek when he knows you’re okay and then starting the argument again. 
(Luffy, Sabo, Usopp, Kid, Shanks)  
——— 
Waiting until late evening to meet beneath a peach tree, speaking at first in hushed tones, worrying someone is on to the two of you, eventually forgetting about all of that and settling into easy conversation about nothing and everything simultaneously, him jumping up to pick a peach for you to have as an evening snack, you taking advantage of the last bit of light to carve both of your initials into the tree trunk. 
(Sanji, Sabo, Beckman, Mihawk) 
——— 
Sitting out on the deck of the ship long after everyone else has fallen asleep, climbing into their lap once the two of you are alone, both of you staring up at the sky and picking out constellations in the night sky. The conversation eventually shifting from actual constellations to the ones you two invent on the spot, with wild fables to go along with them. 
(Ace, Usopp, Robin) 
——— 
Tossing and turning in bed, waiting for the clock to strike midnight, sneaking out as soon as it does and meeting them at the spring just inland. Stripping out of your clothes and diving into the warm water with him, splashing each other and floating on your backs, losing track of time and hurrying back to the ship when the moon dips below the horizon. 
(Zoro, Robin, Nami, Shanks)
———

Between broken bonds, a betrothal, and flames that still burn deep within you; this is the story of how you fell apart and found each other again.

Masterlist | Previous chapter
Tumblr media
The perfume of wildflowers overwhelmed your senses, they bloomed in several colors around you; white, pink, blue, yellow—a field of untouched beauty, tucked away on the outskirts of the forests that surrounded King's Landing.
You sat in the middle of the field, soaking up the late afternoon sunlight as you gently plucked a few of the flowers to form a unique bouquet. It was only your third day in the capital and you already felt the need to sneak away and breathe some fresh air.
A loud huff of air came from beside you then, and a chuckle escaped you when you looked at your dragon. She lay peacefully just a few feet away from you, her ash blue scales being caressed by flower petals as the wind made them flow; one, in particular, tickling her nose and making her huff without opening her eyes. Her massive frame dwarfed the trees of the forest behind you and her tail disrupted the few bugs hidden between the grass as it swished from time to time.
The small smile you had slowly vanished, however, once your mind drifted back to thoughts of Aemond, for the umpteenth time today. Your talk with him from last night replayed in your mind over and over, while you were trying to sleep and first thing in the morning. It had felt wrong and unfair, and it left a cold feeling inside your chest. And yet a feeling that you thought—hoped—you saw mirrored in Aemond's own expression last night.
It was a fragile thing, but maybe, just maybe, what you once had could still be repaired.
Even from this far away, the Red Keep could still be easily spotted in the distance. You watched as a flock of birds flew by, as nothing but dark silhouettes against the golden sunlight.
You eventually pushed yourself up from the grass, brushing away any remaining dirt from your clothes. You walked up to your dragon, laying a hand on the warm scales of her muzzle.
Her fiery blue eyes lazily blinked open at your touch, and she leaned the slightest bit into your hand. "Istiti kostilus bartos arlī, riña." ('We should probably head back, girl.')
A low and deep groan came from the back of her throat, her large mouth prying open just enough to reveal a glimpse of her sharp teeth in complaint. Yet she slowly raised her head from the ground, the motion of her tall and heavy frame sending hidden fireflies flying away from between the flowers.
"Nyke gīmigon, ziry iksos lyks kesīr, yn se jēda kessa aderī mazverdagon zōbrie. Kosti māzigon arlī hemtubis," you promised with a smile as you looked up at her, walking beside so you could mount up. ('I know, it's peaceful here, but the hour will soon grow late. We can return tomorrow.')
She lay her chest and left wing down to allow you to mount easily, only raising to full height once you were settled in the saddle. Her steps on the ground were almost booming in the quiet field, with a small roar coming from her as she awaited your command.
You gripped tightly onto the saddle, heart tuning in with the powerful beat of the one belonging to the dragon carrying you. With a grin, you spoke; "Sōvēs, Khamira."
─── ⋄✧⋄ ───
Aemond's sword cut through the air, on unsteady feet he narrowly avoided Ser Criston's attack. His boots skid over the gravel of the training yard, panting heavily as he rolled his shoulders to keep up appearances and not attract a crowd of onlookers.
Sweat ran down Aemond's temple, getting caught on the leather of his eyepatch. Today was not a good day for him.
Cole seemed to catch on, dropping his shield to the ground and suggesting a break in their sparring session.
Aemond huffed, walking to the side to lay down his sword while he tugged at the collar of his vest that felt like it had been cutting his intake of air by half. His muscles ached from the exertion, yet as he let go of the hilt of his sword, his mind was already elsewhere. Trapped back in a moonlight haze that outlined the features of the one who'd taken residence in his mind and heart.
"You seem distracted today, my Prince," Cole spoke, slowly walking closer to Aemond as he caught his own breath. "Is something troubling you?"
A pair of young squires sparred to his left, two ladies and a guard stood together by his right, and Aegon made his way down the stairs that led to the grounds of the training yard—Aemond was acutely aware of every single person around him, and each one, he knew, was salivating for some royal gossip. He kept his back turned to Ser Criston, fidgeting slightly with the cuff of his sleeve; "No trouble. Simply not a good day for me, it seems."
"Oh, brother."
Both Aemond and Cole turned towards Aegon's obnoxious voice as he wandered towards them, both hands stretched before him as the first Prince gestured between his brother and Ser Criston, "Could this finally be the day that this poor man has bested you in combat?" He sported a wide and amused smile on his lips.
Aemond hummed, holding onto his composure. "We aren't finished yet."
"Well, by what I've just watched, the result seems pretty obvious," Aegon chuckled, leaning back against the weapon's table, "You were nearly getting your ass kicked."
"Watch your tongue," Aemond warned dryly, fists closed tight.
"Were you daydreaming about your childhood sweetheart, then?" Aegon ignored him, teasing further in a quieter tone, his smirk provocative. "Don't think I didn't notice you two eye-fucking each other at supper last night." He laughed at his own words.
Aemond clenched his jaw, nostrils flaring. "I mean it, you drunk, mind your tongue." He leaned closer, only for his brother to hear; "Lest I pick up a sword and do it for you."
Aegon raised his hands in mock surrender, fighting a smile and losing. "Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, eh?" The older brother picked up a small dagger from the table, twirling it between his fingers, the sharp tip slightly digging into his skin. "And here I thought you would be overjoyed with the news."
A small, barely there frown made itself known in Aemond's features. He took half a step back, "What do you mean?" Coming from Aegon, it could hardly be anything good.
"Oh you know, brother," Aegon shrugged, hesitating only for a moment as he took a glance at Cole who stood behind Aemond with the same confused expression, "Mother's agreement with Daemon, the one... involving his dear eldest daughter."
Aemond's blood pumped faster at the mention of you, his breath stumbled and he grew more impatient, "What do you speak of?"
A beat of awkward silence passed as they held each other's gazes.
"Oh seven hells, you do not know yet," Aegon deadpanned, before a small, surprised giggle escaped him.
"Aegon..." The Prince's name out of Aemond's lips came as a warning and he narrowed his one good eye.
"Oh no, no." Aegon shook his head, dropping the dagger in his hands to take slow steps back to the same path he came from. "I'm sure mother will be the one wanting to break the news for you then, beats me wanting to be on the receiving end of her ire if I do it." He reached the stairs, one foot already on the first step when he looked at Aemond with one final grin; "But I'll say, you need not worry about your darling leaving your side ever again." Aegon winked and skipped up the stairs.
The feeling of being left in the dark was all-consuming as Aemond's eye skimmed over the training yard, the sound of steel against steel becoming muffled to his ears as he tried to find a sense of direction for his running thoughts.
He left Ser Criston without another word, quick steps taking him inside the Keep in search of his mother.
─── ⋄✧⋄ ───
You flew over the cloudy sky with no hurry, your dragon's wings stretched and steady while she danced in between clouds. You'd taken the scenic route, as you liked to call it, the longer path to the dragonpit so you could linger a few minutes more on dragonback.
The flap of her wings was slow, yet not less powerful for it, her size creating shadows over the capital. Without you needing to say a word, your loyal dragon knew not to hurry today.
You kept on for a while longer, and just as you were close to reaching your destiny, you heard a familiar sharp screeching coming from behind you.
A roar came from your own dragon as she felt the presence before even seeing it. You turned your head around, looking over your shoulder. Caraxes' slithering frame suddenly emerged from between the clouds, his long and red body a stark contrast to the pale sky.
He flew beside and then overhead from you, and you could barely make out the grinning face of your father as he passed you.
"Aderī," you spoke the command and leaned forward on your saddle, holding tight. With a single movement of her wings, your dragon propelled herself forward, her lean body shooting through the skies as she caught up with Caraxes with an excited roar.
You came from under the Blood Wyrm, rising in flight just short of hitting them as a giggle went past your lips and heavy wind kissed your cheeks.
Khamira flew ahead, her ash-blue scales shining under the fading sunlight. You had yet to meet a dragon that could match her in speed. Caraxes' screeching could be heard from afar as he tried to keep up.
You were undeniably the first one to reach the dragonpit, your dragon raising dust as her large body landed on the ground. The keepers tried to approach her slowly to guide her inside the caves, but as instant as a wild lioness she was quick to greet them with a deafening roar and a show of her sharp teeth, taking a single haste step forward as a warning.
"It's alright," you called from above her, gesturing to the keepers, "I'll see her inside."
Khamira had been a temperamental wild beast ever since you claimed her; she disliked most people and had a tendency for ferocity if anyone dared to cross her boundaries, or worse yet, dared to threaten you. The dragoness bowed her head to you, and you only.
You jumped down from the saddle, feet hitting the ground as you bit back a smile. Your hand traced the warm scales along her neck as you walked, "Emi ȳdragotan nūmāzma bisa, ao jorrāelagon naejot gaomagon aōha vēdros, riña." You reached her face, caressing the shape of her muzzle while she cooed quietly at your words. ('We've spoken about this, you need to mind your temper, girl.')
Soon after, Caraxes also reached the ground, grumbling loudly as if annoyed for losing the race. "Sȳrkta biarves hembar jēda, rōva vala." You approached your father and the red dragon, watching as he climbed down from his saddle as well. ('Better luck next time, big guy.')
"Kesi iēdrosa pyghagon ao lanta." Daemon walked up to you, steps lazy as he pointed a finger at you with an amused smile. ('We will still beat you two.')
You laughed, meeting him in the middle of the otherwise empty grounds of the dragonpit. "Gaomagon ao jaelagon." ('Keep dreaming.')
A few feet away from you, Khamira and Caraxes met up as well, circling each other and exchanging low grunts, roars, and harmless bites. Two formidable beasts who had become friends over time.
You watched the two dragons with fondness for a beat, before turning your attention back to your father; who, you noticed, looked at you with a strange and unreadable gaze.
Daemon had both hands resting on the hilt of his sword, there was a small frown on his features, as if hesitating with the words he was about to say.
He sighed, glancing down. "I've been looking for you."
"Oh, we just went out for a flight." You explained easily, gesturing to your dragon, "I took her outside King's Landing for a few hours, you know how she gets if she's cooped up for too long."
Daemon chuckled, no stranger to the deep bond between you and the once-wild dragon. "Of course." Yet his small smile seemed strained, almost uncomfortable.
You frowned, shifting on your feet for a moment, "Is… something wrong, father?"
"We need to talk, about a rather urgent matter," Daemon spoke slowly, minding his words. And you don't think you've ever seen him this hesitant; this is not a conversation he's overly happy to be having.
You hesitated, his nervousness seeping into you. "Okay... what is it?"
What looked like a grimace passed over his features, as if searching for other ways to say what he needed to say. Eventually, he simply cleared his throat, "After last night's supper, Rhaenyra and I have talked." Daemon held your gaze for a beat, before quickly adding; "It was mainly her idea, so don't come for my neck." He tried jesting.
It did nothing to help the growing confusion inside your stomach, and you leaned your head to the side with a deeper frown on your brows.
"We all know our family has been drifting apart more and more as the years go by." He further explained, taking half a step closer to you so as to better hold your gaze, "And with the King solidifying Rhaenyra's claim to the throne, the greens won't be happy to… be left out. So we've decided, that it would be in everyone's best interest," His words seemed to get caught in his tongue, "To unite our families again, once and for all."
You kept quiet, yet distantly you could feel your heart pick up its pace. Your fingers tingled and you grasped at your overcoat with a bruising grip. "And what… does this have to do with me?"
Daemon chose to ignore the question. "Rhaenyra has already spoken to Alicent and my brother, the King; and after some reasoning, both have, surprisingly, dare I say eagerly, agreed to it… as well."
You blinked once, twice, shaking your head; "Father, what in the seven hells are you on about?"
He breathed in deeply, holding the silence as he regarded you with something akin to sympathy. "We've decided to unite this family again, by offering a betrothal."
Your blood ran cold. You held onto the air in your lungs until he spoke again.
"Between you, and Alicent's second son, Aemond."
It felt as if your heart ceased its beating entirely. His words left you disarmed, and you were suddenly drowning in the waters of the Narrow Sea; sinking deeper, deeper, deeper into cold and dark waters that suffocated you from the inside out.
"What?" It fell as nothing but a breath past your lips.
Daemon could clearly see the sudden panic in your wide eyes, he reached both hands up, taking hold of your arms and rubbing his thumbs on the thick fabric of your overcoat. "I know it came suddenly, daughter. I… tried speaking against it, but believe me, even I know this is the right choice."
You tried finding your voice again, all choked up and tight; "I- No, I can't- Father, there must be something, anything else that can be done to repair this-" You stammered, "This rift between our families. Anything other than trading my life for it."
"I've been in your shoes before, I know how you feel, but it's not the end of the world-"
"Not the end-" You gulped back a sob, groaning in frustration, "How can you say that? It is to me. And then what? What would be expected of me? To bring gods know how many children to this world?"
Daemon huffed out a small laugh, avoiding your eyes, "No, worry not, we don't expect you to have children, you're not in direct line to the throne so there's no need for heirs. We only need a powerful alliance, a direct connection between both our families strong enough to keep our squabbles at bay, and that," He shook your shoulders, gaze intent, "You can provide."
Slowly, drop by drop, reality downed on you. The time had finally come for your betrothal, a day you had wished would never come at all. "You're asking me to be a means to an end," you whispered, "Why me?"
"I have… noticed how close you seem to be with The One-Eyed Prince," Daemon spoke with poorly concealed disdain, "We believe it would be in your best interest-"
Tears welled up in your eyes. Aemond. Of all people, his was the hand you'd be taking in marriage, being forced together for the sake of uniting your families.
How tragically ironic, for you to be promised to one another with broken bonds and stained hearts. Just as you had found each other again, just as you hoped to make up for all the lost years. Soon, the overly fragile bond you had only started to get the hang of again, will become public knowledge. It won’t be your secret anymore but rather an over-discussed gossip.
Aemond would resent you for it, surely. You knew he would, and you wouldn't blame him. Because right now, you feel something similar, angry and bitter, as it took away your choice of falling for him all over again on your own terms, in your own time. Instead, you were being forced into a closeness none of you were ready for.
Staggerly, your watery eyes rose up again, "It is in my best interest not to be married off against my own will, father." You pleaded, taking hold of Daemon's wrist from his hand on your shoulder, "Please."
"You are also closer to being Rhaenyra's child than Baela or Rhaena could ever be." Daemon continued his reasoning, "Besides, they are already betrothed, as is Alicent's firstborn. You and the second Prince will be the final piece, so to speak."
You shook your head weakly, "I love Rhaenyra but she's not my mother, not by blood, we both know it."
Daemon raised his brows, placating you. "You're not her blood but you are mine. And Rhaenyra took you as her ward, raised you as her own since she first met you. Our… differences with Queen Alicent lay heavier on her shoulders, as you know."
His words left you lost and uneasy. You bit into the inside of your cheek until nearly tasting blood, avoiding your father's stare. He made a good point, deep down you knew he did. Tensions were high between your family, and a strong union was necessary for a chance of peace. And heavens know Aemond is most dear to you, oh he is; but no girl wants her freedom taken away like this. "Please father, don't. Don't take away my choice on this." You tried one last time.
There was a beat of silence, and then Daemon's hands came to your cheeks, thumbs smoothing the skin of your cheekbones; just a little rough yet holding nothing but affection. "My first daughter, my zaldrītsos." He spoke low and soft, a voice he most used to you during the nights you were young and afraid of storms. "Ever since I took you from the hands of your drunk of a mother, what do I tell you? Do you remember?"
A sob climbed to your throat and you failed to bite it back. There were tears in your eyes one blink away from spilling. "That as long as you lived... I'd- I'd be alright."
A small, proud smile came to your father's features. He nodded once. "That's right. I would never do wrong by you, I wouldn't ask this of you if it wasn't our only playing card. Marriages are political agreements. It's a contract for a chance of peace between our families. Once it is done you can pursue happiness wherever you'd like."
And yet you didn't know how to tell him, that this political agreement might destroy your last hope of rebuilding what you once had with your now betrothed. You knew what would be expected of you and Aemond now, at every court and royal gathering you'd have to be side by side, it would be your duty to hold the appearances of a united Prince and Princess of the realm.
How will you do it? How will you hold his hand knowing it was neither yours nor his choice to do it?
How will you pretend to be in love, knowing nothing will be real, when deep down in your heart you wished it was?
"I wish it could be different," Daemon spoke again when you kept quiet, gaze miles away, "But a war is brewing." He dropped his hands from you, glancing up at the darkening sky. "And this union may help us avoid it, the one between our families, at least."
You closed your eyes and emptied your lungs. All your fight left your body, and a feeling of numbness settled in. You opened your eyes. "Does- does Aemond already know about this?"
─── ⋄✧⋄ ───
There were two knocks on the doors that led to Queen Alicent's chambers, a moment later, the doors were pushed open.
"Prince Aemond, Your Grace." The guard stationed outside the doors announced. Aemond slowly walked in, and the doors were closed behind him again.
Alicent sat on the couch in the middle of her room, a cup of tea in hand as she looked out the open windows. Her attention shifted once the doors opened.
"Mother," Aemond called, halting his steps by the edge of the couch. His hair partially disheveled from the speed with which he traversed the long hallways of the Keep until reaching his mother's chambers, anxiety and apprehension spurring him on.
"Aemond," Alicent placed her cup of tea on the small table, getting up to take a few steps closer to her son, "I was just about to send for you."
Aemond gulped back, striving to keep his voice from sounding as nervous as he felt, "I've just met with Aegon in the training yard." He frowned, recalling the confusing words of his brother. "He speaks of… some news regarding me, I believe, that I do not yet know."
His words made Alicent groan, closing her eyes momentarily, "He must have overheard my conversation with Rhaenyra and her husband." She sighed, regarding Aemond with a look he couldn't decipher. "I am glad he held his tongue, I wished to tell you this myself."
Aemond took a step closer, his voice softening in the slightest. "What is it, mother? Did something happen?"
"No," Alicent spoke even softer, extending her hands and taking hold of Aemond's forearms who promptly held her the same. Her thumbs moved up and down on the fabric of his sleeves. "But, my son, your father and I have made a decision, one which I hope you can understand."
A frown then came to Aemond's features. He held onto his breath until his lungs ached, tightening the hold he had on his mother's arms; fearing the worst, even if he had no idea of what 'the worst' could be. And in the midst of it all, the headache came back. It always began with a heaviness in the back of his skull, but it would soon spread to his temples, forehead, and down the harsh scar.
Aemond blinked a few times, trying to chase the pain away even if he knew it was to no avail.
Alicent inhaled deeply, giving Aemond what looked to be a bittersweet smile. "Rhaenyra and Daemon have made an offer," she hesitated, "A betrothal between you… and Daemon's eldest daughter."
Many times in his life Aemond has felt lost, helpless, unable to move his body while his heart thundered inside his chest. Yet he wondered if any at all could compare to how he's feeling now.
The One-Eyed Prince tried to keep his face impassive, almost painfully so; but he knew his wide eye reflected his surprise, he knew his tight grip on his mother's arms reflected his desperation, he knew the wobbling of his lower lip reflected his fears.
You. He was to be betrothed. To you.
The one person he wished to have back for so many years. The one person who he has missed for so many years. The one person who he'd convinced himself that, for better or worse, did not care about him anymore. The pounding pain in his head grew stronger, following suit with his spiking emotions, and he gritted his teeth.
"My son," Alicent reached one hand up to Aemond's cheek when the helpless look in his eye tugged at her heart. "I believe it can be a good idea. Your father wishes for peace between our houses, between our families, and… perhaps we should honor his wish." She held a pause, minding her next words. "He's not doing well, your father, as you know. And Rhaenyra is to take the throne, maybe sooner than we thought."
Aemond took in her words one by one, trying to find his voice but with no luck. All he did was look at his mother. He knew, of course, that she was right. If anything he'd made tensions even higher between their family after what happened at supper last night, and part of him didn't want to bring more sorrow to his mother's life by going against this betrothal.
"With this marriage, our families would be united once again." Alicent squeezed Aemond's arms, willing him to understand, "I refused an offer such as this in the past… and I don't think I should make the same mistake now." She gulped down any pride, yet still raised her chin, "For the sake of our lives. Yours, your brother's. A union with the hope of peace during Rhaenyra's rule."
Aemond averted his eye, his hand still sore from holding his sword during the sparring session with Cole, his scarred eye socket stinging persistently. He dropped his arms to his side, flexing his fingers. "I am- I am to marry…" He hesitated on your name and closed his eye in frustration.
Alicent understood anyway, and her son's hesitation brought sympathy to her. Features softening, one of her hands rubbed Aemond's arm in an attempt to comfort him, "Yes. But I remember how the two of you used to be the best of friends, always together. I am sure your marriage will be a happy one, my son." She spoke with a note of empathy, gently; "It is a privilege, to marry someone you like."
Aemond exhaled shakily. Few and far in between as they were, the moments when he could lean into a mother's embrace were always cherished by the One-Eyed Prince. Yet there was a poorly concealed lump in his throat, a restlessness making his fingers tap his thigh.
Aemond refrained from telling his mother how he feared you didn't like him as you once used to anymore. He refrained from telling his mother how he would never wish for a woman like you to be stuck with a man like him.
With a tightness in his chest, deep down Aemond knew you deserved better. Better than he could ever be.
But alas, he opened his eye, looking down at the hopeful look on his mother's face even if his headache almost got her blending with the faded sunlight seeping through the windows.
Aemond managed a small, pained smile, and nodded.

Back at it agains with another svsss au im pulling out of my (slightly) sleep deprived brain
Basically yada yada everything happens as normal UP UNTIL the immortal alliance arc. SQQ gets this searing headache and the system just keeps popping up with errors, so while they are all fighting the spider hoard the system just kinda snaps and breaks. SQQ suddenly feels like he’s hit by a truck, his body starting to act like his sickly Shen Yuan body and his cultivation is tying itself into dead knots and every bone in his body feels like it’s locking up. There’s no system to blame for things as he and LBH confront MBJ and he just has to do his hardest to survive with just his spiritual sword.
And then the worse thing happens, Xiu Ya shatters.
SQQ panics at this, continuing to try his best fighting people off and eventually MBJ leaves *hooray* except not really because all the system errors are getting louder and louder in his head, and everything is blue and blaring and he might be bleeding and he can’t understand what LBH is saying even though he is right there, shaking his body and crying.
And then the abyss opens. He suddenly has the choice. He can send LBH, his white little sheep, down there to continue on with the PIDW plot, or he can… not do that.
So he pushes LBH.
Away from him. Away from the abyssal rift, only for him to be the one that falls though. He had prepared various lesson plans, life advice, what skills people to work on and so much more once he got without-a-cure, just incase he slipped up one day and couldn’t protect himself. So SQQ was satisfied as he knew his peak would be taken care of if LBH opened a specific drawer, everyone could still be taught by the hall masters and also have some future help prepared for each of them.
So SQQ let’s himself fall into the abyss, watching his student’s horrified expression as he plummets. He hears the system disconnect from LBH as he falls, all of the glowing blue error messages and pop ups instantly go away and he’s left in the dark as he sinks further and further into the abyss.
Surprisingly, he wakes up. He landed in the same field of flowers that are the reason LBH didn’t die in the original, they are filled with celestial qi in a place meant to be horrible and deadly. The one good thing about this place. He lays there for awhile and lets the plants essence fix up his meridians.
Then he has to experience the same horrifying things the protagonist did in person, fighting off each beast and trying his damn hardest to survive. It takes him a while, fighting and walking his way through what’s practically hell on earth, slaying beasts ten times his size, making sure not to fall into the trappings of demonic plants. He cuts his long hair, he thinks he will never see his peak again, so what do filial ties matter when you’re barely surviving. Sometimes the worse thing is his own mind, he feels a heavy layer of guilt to himself for so willing going along with the system. He sometimes forgets it’s not his fault too, that he was threatened to return to a dead body if he didn’t do as he was supposed to. But he’s happy sometimes too, he goes back to that field of flowers, laying in them and basking in his memories of a happier LBH, a LQG that isn’t dead, a Qing Jing peak full of song and happy healthy students.
He ascends from the abyss that day. He doesn’t know how or why but he wakes up in the same field of flowers, the sky above him no longer a damning black with red cracks seeping light in. it’s blue, soft, it hurts his eyes almost to look at it. It hurts so much but he can’t look away. He picks himself up, looking at all the grime and blood on himself and weeps in relief that he can go home. He hides his face and asks people where he is, somewhere in HHP territories, and begins to make his way back to his sect. Once he gets to his peak he sits down softly at the gate, it’s night time and there haven’t been many people about. He basks in the feeling of being home, leaning his head against the tall bamboo pole as he falls asleep.
He’s glad tomorrow is a new day, when he can see his family and just go back to his life.
(in the years he’s been gone all of CQS has been in some kind of mourning. LBH found all the letters from his shizun and they made all the disciples of QJP weep. Some of them took the advice given and left, some of them stayed and took care of a lordless peak. None of the hall masters or disciples were qualified to step up, and when the issue was raised even the peak lords agreed he shouldn’t be replaced. It was LQG who found him at the gate, going to visit the sword shrine in the bamboo house after an expedition, going to leave another fan to rot at the shrine’s foot. instead he heaved up his shixiong, hair not even reaching his shoulders, hands callused and dirty, and brought him back to the bamboo house, waking LBH in the process. Once morning light came everyone would know that their lost peak lord came home, but first they had to get the doctor to make sure he actually got through the night)

The Calm After The Storm: Law X Reader
Tumblr media
______________________________
Hello hello, I'm back again with something else this week! Now that I'm finished with Dressrosa I can finally start writing for Law which I've been wanting to do for awhile so here, have this and I hope you all enjoy!
Warnings/Tags:
Spoilers for Dressrosa if you haven't finished it
Fluff
______________________________
Narrator POV
It was the day after the events that took place in Dressrosa. You, the Strawhats, Law and a few others were all hiding in Kyros' cottage, recovering and staying away from the Marines.
The you thankfully didn't receive any major injuries so you could move after a few hours. Which helped since the cottage was a bit cramped and noisy. The cottage was situated in the middle of a large and beautiful flower field. Making the excuse of watching out for marines, you left the cottage and wondered around the field, you found a nice shady spot on the edge of the field and sat down to watch the clouds. A calm breeze hit your face and you closed your eyes, everything was perfect, Doflamingo was in jail, the citizens of Dressrosa were happy again with their old king, the marines hadn't found you... Everything right now, was just right. Until you heard footsteps coming close to you. You readied your Haki/devilfruit/weapon in case it was the marines attacking. Luckily when you looked up you saw that it was just Law walking towards you with a small limp.
You instantly relaxed and lowered your guard again. Law made it next to you and sat down. "Glad to see you moving around" you said as you leaned back against a tree. Law was slightly hunched over a bit as he spoke, "Mm... I knew you weren't really sitting out here for lookout and decided to steal your idea of coming out here for quiet." you chuckled have looked back at him. Your eyes wondered around his figure and landed on the bullet wounds where Doflamingo shot him. Your hand instinctively reached out to feel around him but Law moved back and raised an eyebrow at you. You lowered your hand and mumbled out an apology, Law relaxed again but still kept his eyes on you. You raised your hand again, "May I?" Law debated but sighed and agreed. Your hand reached out and began to gently trace the edges of the bullet wounds. Feather soft touches, gently grazing around the wounds but never over them. Law's body instinctively twitched a few times but you felt him relaxed when he let out a quiet groan and leaned back against the tree behind you two. "I don't know how you can walk after injuries like this, I know that little fairy princess helped but it must still hurt a lot..." you said and finally took your hand away. Law looked back at you, a small smirk tugged at his lips, "It's not the worst pain I've been through. If you have enough emotional pain it numbs the physical pain." "Well you're stronger than me, I probably would've still be stuck in bed if I went what you went through yesterday" you chuckled and Law's smirked widened.
You both fell into a comfortable silence for a but until Law spoke up, "Do ou mind if I take a nap here?" He asked. You nodded and said 'of course' since this was a perfect place to rest. What you didn't expect was for Law to move closer to you, take off his hat and lay his head down on your lap. You were very surprised but didn't move him. Law's eyes closed and just watched as he began to relax and sleep on your lap. You sat back and relaxed in the moment. Everything was calm... Everything was peaceful... Everything was perfect... You ran your hand over the grass and a flower got caught between your fingers. You carefully picked it and examined it, a small white flower, how cute, then your eyes landed on Law and an even cuter idea came into your head. You gently placed the flower in Law's hair close to his ear, Law almost instantly noticed this and looked back at you. "What are you doing?" He asked as he narrowed his eyes at you, "Oh, I'm just playing with your hair.... If it's okay with you...?" You said as you tried to maintain eye contact and not look at the flower in his hair. Law seemed to believe your lie and simply nodded before laying his head back onto your lap. Seeing he believed you, a smirk grew on your face as another idea grew in your mind.
Flower after flower, you kept picking them and carefully placing them in his hair. Small ones, bugger ones, and each time Law thought you were just playing with his hair. Pretty soon, his hair just looked like a bouquet of flowers, you gently ran your hand over them which caused Law to stir. He sat back up and rubbed his eyes, "We should probably get back before they fund us..." He said and reached out to put his hat back on. Not wanting the flowers to fall out you quickly grabbed it and put it on yourself, Law raised an eyebrow and you awkwardly smiled, "I think it looks better on me! Ehehe...." Law scowled slightly and mumbled something under his breath before getting up and walking back to the cottage.
You breathed a sigh of relief and took a minute to calm your giggles before going back yourself. Once you got close enough you heard echoes of laughter coming from the cottage and Law standing frozen by the door. You quickly hurried up and saw Law looking distressed while everyone in the cottage laughed at him because of the flowers in his hair, eventually when everyone calmed down Robin handed him a compact mirror and Law opened it to see all the flowers in his hair. His distraught turned to anger as he quickly shook all the flowers out his hair then slowly turned towards you. You gulped and took off running back to the field but it didn't help when Law used his Devilfruit to teleport right in front of you and grabbed your arm. You screeched and froze, Law then let go of your arm but grabbed your face and squished your cheeks tightly. He looked like he was about to kill you so you just started sputtering out apologies but he remained quiet as he reached out and took his hat off your head. "You're lucky you're cute..." He muttered so only you two could hear before squeezing your cheeks again then letting go. He put his hat on and looked back at your now confused look, scoffed and walked back. You stood there bewildered and your heart racing, you just got away with pranking him and he even called you cute! Your cheeks heated up and you looked back at Law, a small smirk tugged at his lips as he went back inside after leaving you flustered.

If I don't have any requests by next week then I'll post the last part of my Slasher Lucci X Reader but don't be afraid to request because I'll still happily write it! See you all next week

Thank you @radpunch for giving me an excuse for more Farmtale Sans... he's the love of my life
I don't usually do this, but I thought I'd add some recommended music for reading this piece. I listened to this the whole time I was writing, and I think it really adds to the vibe.
---
To anyone else, the sight of a body in a field neighbouring yours probably would’ve caused no small amount of alarm. Instead, you just sighed, finally laying down your shovel for the day and hopping the fence you had only just finished repairing.
The grass brushed against your hips as you walked, moving your feet as if wading through water. The evening sun caught the long, glimmering single stray cobwebs that trailed from the grass flower heads, and illuminated the tiny fluttering bodies of disturbed insects that fluttered up and away when you walked by. Though it was a pain to move through, you always liked when the field looked like this. It was your own romantic summer sea.
Eventually, you came across the ‘body’. Sans was lounging with his head propped up on a pile of empty seed bags, straw hat placed on his chest, sockets shut. The sun didn’t reach him now, the tall grass on all sides of him left a perfect little shady spot where he had nestled in. He looked very comfy... very peaceful. This wasn’t unusual at all, for him. He had a knack for finding hidden places to nap.
You crouched down. You could hear him faintly snoring. There was a tiny iridescent beetle sitting proudly on his bent knee, using the vantage point to observe its surroundings. It didn’t seem bothered by your presence in the slightest.
Sans was nice to look at. You had always considered him kinda good-looking, but he had grown more and more on you over time. Despite his brother being more classically ‘handsome’, with his high cheekbones, strong jawline and impressive physique, Sans was the one you found yourself getting caught staring at. He was... so easygoing. Not softspoken, too confident for that. Just never needing to raise his voice. Quick witted, strong, smart. Casual. Despite his silly straw hat, constantly muddy pants and crappy jokes, something about him was effortlessly cool. Effortlessly pretty.
And you were...
...
He had dirt on his cheekbone. Without thinking, you reached out, wiping it off. 
Before you could even blink, his hand snapped up, catching yours by the wrist. You let out a little inelegant shriek then slapped your free hand over your mouth in embarrassment - he snorted, sockets opening up, pretty fuzzy green eyelights landing on you. 
“well hello there,” he said, voice only mildly sleepy, with a gentle purr to it. He turned his face, and kissed your palm.
You shrieked a second time. Well... this one was more like a yelp, yanking your hand out of his grip as both of you descended into laughter. “Gross!”
You weren’t going to admit the move had given you butterflies. Nor that the way he was looking at you was making you feel things you didn’t have words for yet. You made a point of wiping your hand on your work pants.
“am i still asleep, or d’you just look like a dream to me?” he asked, leaning back, knitting his fingers together over his chest. 
“Charming.” Your tone just made him snicker. “The sun is setting. You getting up soon, or are you planning on sleeping under the stars tonight?”
Sans’ gaze was very soft. “hey, that actually don’t sound too bad. ‘specially if i had the right company.”
“True. Stargazing with someone is always nicer.”
“could always join me. room for two, in this patch.”
“Unlike you, I have to worry about ticks.” You flicked his shoulder. “I’ll think about it when the grass is cut.”
He grinned. “dang. never felt so motivated to do a chore before. s’that a promise, then? when i cut the grass you’ll come stargaze with me?”
You rolled your eyes. But there they were again; the butterflies. The thing with Sans was you never had any idea whether or not he was serious. He said entirely joking and entirely genuine things with the same tone of voice, the same smile, the same twinkling eyelights. Maybe in a few years you’d know him well enough to tell. Right now, though, you were much too afraid of embarrassing both of you by assuming his 'flirting' was anything but banter.
He finally sat up, and the beetle on his knee took off into the sky. It felt so cosy, somehow; the two of you were almost entirely below the top of the grass, hiding in a tiny den. It smelled like... well, grass, duh. But a specific kind of grassy smell - sweet and dry, more like hay, summery and clear. It reminded you of playing outside as a child until the sun had long gone down. 
“you been exertin’ yerself? all red.”
“Yeah, I’ve just been fixing the fence.” A lie and a truth. You had been fixing the fence, but it was a menial chore that hadn’t required huge amounts of strain. The blushing was from something else.
“ah, jeez." A break in his easy mood. "we’re still really sorry about that. pap is absolutely mortified, think he's set aside a whole load of crop for you.”
The brothers’ goat had managed to break through several fences, including yours, to take a 'visit' to your garden. You’d found her in your flowerbed, happily eating the tops off the marigolds you were going to cut and take to market. 
You’d never seen someone more apologetic than when Papyrus showed up to bring her home. The animal still had bright yellow petals in her beard as he led her away.
“It’s alright,” you said, warmly. “it wasn't like it was malicious or anything. Animals get out. I don’t think I’ve ever met a more sweet-natured goat anyway.”
“should’ve told me you were fixing that fence. i would’ve helped out.”
“Oh would you have?” Your tone was mock-suspicious. “How convenient that you waited until I was finished to tell me that.”
His sockets raised at the corners. “i’m serious! you doubtin’ my honesty? dang. thought we were close.”
Uh oh. Butterflies again. You swerved, doing your best to avoid it.
“So does your brother know you’re out here?”
“course not,” he snickered. “he still thinks i’m working.”
“Maybe I should go tell him that you’re flunking. I’m certain he already knows, he just needs to catch you in the act.”
He put his hat back on his head. “well. guess now i have to kill you.”
You laughed - and in the shade, entirely missed the little green shimmer across his cheekbones.
“How’s the day been then, sleepyhead?”
He shrugged, picking at some of the flattened grass. “busy. exactly how you think late summer on a farm would be. harvestin’, packin’ stuff up. lotsa ploughing. even with magic, it’s hard work. i’m just stealing whatever breaks i can find. you?”
You gave him a look. “You came over yesterday. You know how I'm doing.”
He leant over, lightly elbowing you. “c’mon. i’m doin’ the small talk thing. can’t leave me hangin’ here.”
“So now you’re guilt tripping me? You’re a real piece of work.”
That got another snicker out of him. He was so handsome when he laughed. 
Sans always liked knowing what was going on in your life. It was weird, you never saw him do that with anyone else; it had taken you a while to notice it but even with his closest friends he didn’t talk half as much as he did with you. The first time you’d seen him talking to Toriel you had thought he was in a bad mood, with how little he engaged, how simple his questions were, how sparingly he spoke.
“BAD MOOD? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?”
“Sans just didn’t seem very chatty tonight. Did something happen?”
“OH? OH! NYEHEHEHEH, HOW FUNNY! SANS WAS COMPLETELY NORMAL TONIGHT, HUMAN, DON’T YOU WORRY. THIS IS HOW HE ALWAYS IS AT GET-TOGETHERS.”
“But he...”
“HE’S JUST MUCH CHATTIER WITH ME AND YOU.”
You liked to think he felt safe around you. You definitely felt safer around him, that was for sure. 
You pulled your knees up to your chest, relenting under his gaze. “Okay okay, fine. I’m doing alright, I guess. The old trees came right back to life as soon as the thickets were cleared away. There’s already fruit, they just need another year or so to get market ready.”
“and yer flowers? they sellin’ well?”
“It’s a good way to plug the money gaps in the meantime. Living in the age of the internet definitely helps, there’s lots of information floating around that has made it so much easier for me to get started. I dunno. It’s alright.”
You wanted to stop talking. You looked away, staring off into the ‘forest’ surrounding you, the waning sunset catching certain blades and turning them into a warm burning orange. In the distance you could hear the rolling and bubbling singing of a particularly loud bird somewhere overhead.
Despite your desire to shut up, Sans wasn’t about to let you. His lovely eyelights just continued to bore into you. 
“i can hear a ‘but’ in there.”
...
You sighed. Oh well. Who else were you going to be able to talk to?
“I thought the impostor syndrome would be gone by now.”
He cocked his head. You had no choice but to continue. 
“I’m just... I still feel like I’m not part of this. My mind hasn’t settled in. Every day is a confusing fight where I feel like I barely make it out the other side. Most of my flower boxes are stuck together with tape and hope.” You settled your chin onto your knees, sulking. “Every time things start to make sense, and I feel like I’m finally starting to get some solid ground, another problem shows up. Another thing breaks. Another bug I didn’t know existed is eating the fruit, another tree disease I have to prep against otherwise it might wipe out the orchard, another colony of aphids eating the flowers. I can’t win.”
“sounds pretty normal to me.”
You looked up from your knees. “Does it?” 
“that’s just life, ain’t it?” He had somehow shuffled closer to you, entirely without you noticing. “there’s always some new problem. if ya ask me, sounds exactly like a day on our farm. one of the ducks is injured, a coop is leaking, chicken got eaten in the night, goat escaped and ate the neighbour’s flowers. nothing goes how you expect. if you ask me, you’re doing great.”
You hummed. “Doesn’t feel like it.”
“doin’ good on paper, too. human from the suburbs moves to the countryside and buys an abandoned orchard. most of the time that ends in disaster. but yer trees are fruiting, could be ready in a single year, the flowers are already bloomin’ and sellin’ at the market. not sure how you could do any better.”
... You couldn’t help but feel warm. Especially on your face again. Partially because of his kind words, yes... but mostly because he seemed so intent on making you feel less bad. It made your chest all fluttery.
“... Thank you,” you mumbled. "that does make me feel better."
“course. anytime. just wish you’d ask for help, more.”
The bird from earlier started singing again. You glanced up, but could see nothing from within the little 'den'.
“Any idea what that bird is?”
He leant back. One hand, conspicuously, resting on the ground just behind your back. “s’a skylark.”
“... Skylark.” 
You stared up into the clear evening sky. You weren’t great with bird names, but you’d definitely remember that. 
...
Feeling like he was looking at you, you turned to the side. Sans was looking at you - and his face was only really a few inches from yours. Close enough that if he tilted his head down a bit, the top of his straw hat would bump against your hair. His expression was calm... a lot calmer than you felt. The two of you quietly held eye contact, and the skylark continued to sing.
... Suddenly, and with no apparent trigger, you felt immensely flustered by the proximity. You pulled back, shuffling, unceremoniously dragging yourself to your feet and brushing off your pants. Your head popped up above the grass; immediately, some tiny birds scattered up and away, sun shining into your eyes.
“I should head home.” You were messing needlessly with your hair. “Dinner isn’t going to make itself.”
Sans looked up at you, for a few silent moments. You couldn’t read his face at all, the only thing you knew was that his smile was very soft.
“agh, i should head out too,” he eventually said, not standing, but folding his arms behind his head and stretching. “need to get home. pap probably thinks i fell into a ditch.”
You put your hands on your hips. “Then you can finally rest, after a long hard day of skipping your chores?”
He chuckled. “why of course.”
“Pft. Say hi to Papyrus for me.”
“sure thing. later, doll.”
With that, you headed back across the field, leaving Sans to pretend to wake up. Knowing him he had probably laid down and gone straight back to sleep.
... You put your hand over your chest, now that you were out of sight, trying to still your fluttering heart. It wasn’t really any use.
The more time you spent with Sans, the more you realised you were falling for him.
///---///
Sans watched you walk away, the golden light catching in your hair.
... He sighed, stretching again, before finally actually dragging himself to his feet. The green flush became more prominent on his face as he stopped to watch a skylark hovering just over the grass before tilting its wings and dancing away.
He’d been completely serious about the stargazing. Once again, you thought he was joking, his own persona had bitten him in the ass. He’d wanted to tell you as you were leaving - he’d wanted to finally put his foot down and make a date out of it, ask you when you were free and do what he’d been dreaming of doing for weeks. 
But just like always, when you’d looked at him, he’d completely fallen to pieces. The words had gotten stuck in his nonexistent throat. And by the time he’d shaken himself out of his stupor, you were already leaving.
Sans just sighed, adjusting his hat. 
“... next time,” he hummed. "there's always next time."
With that, he shortcutted home.

TF2 MERCS RELAXING
scout: if scout has an actual day of relaxation, he will end up asleep within 30 minutes of him realizing he can relax today. for those 30 minutes, however, he is an absolute terror. and whoever is his victim for the next 30 minutes will be fielding some of the most irrelevant, obvious, outlandish, generally some combination of those terms, questions. and he does not shut up. for 30 minutes you’re fielding questions well outside of your knowledge, and as he starts to make fun of you for not knowing, a small yawn escapes. and it’s the beginning of the end. all of a sudden, he’s checking out the bed. the couch. an assortment of chairs in a precarious line. the floor if there’s a good enough rug. starts patting the area. lays down. “i mean it’s not even that comfortable, it’s enough to sit on but i couldn’t fall asleep—” and the next thing you know all you hear is a soft snore. the team leaves him wherever he crashes. if he falls asleep on a line of chairs they play what they call scout jenga, where they see how many chairs they can pull from underneath him before he falls off. once he wakes up from his nap, he is generally more able to go do a quiet activity alone. likes his comics. will generally fall back asleep in bed in a couple hours. only seen during mealtimes.
soldier: soldier doesn’t relax, per se. to find him in a conventional state of relaxation is during mealtimes and his nighttime routine. that’s really the only time he is “relaxing” in the sense you’d expect him to be relaxing. otherwise, training is relaxing. pushing his body to the limit is relaxing. making the trek from the infirmary to training is relaxing. firing his rocket launcher is relaxing. if you held a gun to his head, he might read a book or two. nothing overly complex. probably war journals. maybe catch some rest if he has nothing else to do. him and scout together is engie’s nightmare. stupid questions asked in cut time with doubled duration. he’ll kick them both out if they can’t be quiet.
pyro: depending on the weather they’ll spend some time outside! normally takes walks. likes to pick the flowers they find to give to the team. maintains their flamethrower in worse weather. they have various ways they keep themselves entertained during down time, but they aren’t quite sure whether that counts as relaxing. one of the few people engie lets hang out in the workshop because they’ll actually sit there in silence. engie got them some coloring books for when they’re down there. keeps them occupied until they’re hungry or tired and ready to go back to their room. sometimes they can even convince engie to take a short nap too.
demo: lovingly cares for his bombs. overlooks his notes on them. ponders if he can improve them. normally gives up and gets a drink. comes back, continues to think and ponder over them. sometimes medic will ask if he would be willing to get on the operating table for the day, which is fine for him. they’ll make idle chatter until they run out of things to talk about, then he just lays there. likes to take off days to make various jerky. he’ll give them to the team to test it. scout is always incredibly pumped for whatever kitchen experiments demo’s cooking up.
heavy: when he’s not caring for sascha, or natascha, or the tomislav, or his shotgun, or with his doctor on the operating table, he likes to read. generally located in an easily accessible common area so if anyone needs him he’s right there. can get anywhere in the base in about a minute. he’s normally quietly hoping everyone will leave him alone for his down time, but he never refuses a teammate who wants to come sit with him… quietly. likes to go to gun shows. will take old man naps on the couch in the common area. the team can tell where heavy is based on his snoring. his naps do not affect his ability to go to sleep at night. if anything, he feels even better the next day after a full day’s rest. greatly enjoys sunbathing. he’s not a big enjoyer of the warmer weather, but on a nice brisk day, with a clear sky, if he can find a place out of the wind chill, he’ll just relax on a chair, sunglasses on, reading or resting quietly.
engineer: engie doesn’t relax. engie is a blue collar working man with too many things to do; he doesn’t relax. not to mention, because he’s one of the few teammates who consistently has a full plate, the teammates who don’t have consistently full plates come down to his workshop to ask him some of the most baffling (derogatory) questions he’s ever heard. but when he gets some down time… it’s beer time bud. he’s laid back, bottle in hand. generally thinking about all the work he has left to do while he sits on his ass. planning how to most efficiently manage the rest of his day. will go outside to stretch his legs if the weather’s nice. if pyro is particularly in need of companionship, he’ll spend the day with them.
medic: medic also doesn’t relax. he’s one of the other mercenaries who have a consistently full plate. the difference is when scout and soldier go ask him stupid questions he becomes interested in answering them. sometimes the results are favorable, normally they are not. and it’s too cold for pyro to hang out down there. so if he’s not doing paperwork, one of the worst parts of his job, or performing a surgery in the infirmary, or fiddling with his medigun, he is with his birds. tending to them, making sure they’re in good health. he enjoys sitting with them as he reads, which normally becomes a light nap. they’re his babies. paints their talons.
sniper: if sniper is not asleep in his van, or on grill guard, then sniper is just not on the base. generally nowhere to be found on the base. he is either out completing errands for the base, “out completing errands… for the base”, or he’s out on a drive, enjoying the wind and the sky through his windows. it’s hard to get a hold of him when he’s gone but somehow he always has a sense for when he’s needed at the base, and is always there just in time. sometimes he’s walking in to the team preparing for dinner, and he’s a little heartwarmed. sometimes he’s walking in to absolute chaos. really depends on how the team feels. either way, he’s prepared for it.
spy: will spend all day in his smoking room. sometimes he’ll come out and interact with the team, or slip out just long enough to cook something and be out of the kitchen by the time the smell of cooked food starts to linger, or he’ll sit with engie in his workshop, but usually he’s watching sniper. there was a time he snuck into the van to see where sniper spends all his free time. he was not happy to find out it’s normally the grocery store and a trip to the payphone. he almost feels like sniper knew he was there, and he did that on purpose (he did know, and he did do that on purpose).

Family vacations
Tumblr media
Includes- Toji, Sukuna, Nanami, Gojo, Geto
Tumblr media
Sukuna-
He didn't care for vacations, he didn't care for much stuff, even if it concerned you and his daughter. Taking you to a private island was the maximum he was doing, sat near the pool as watched over you two Sat on the other side of the pool as you dipped her legs in the water, splashing about as a stimulation method for her. Giggles filling up the gaping silence. "Would've been better if uraume was here", talking about the fact that his favourite cook wasn't there with him, meaning he couldn't eat humans for the next 2 weeks, you knew that when he got back to Japan he would be going on a rampage, ending an entire village for the freshest of meat.
"Let them rest, you make them cook for you everyday" trying to defend his cook as you carried on playing with your daughter. Your daughter grabbing into the top of your shirt as she pulled down on it, clearly wanting more of your attention. "Yeah yeah, you humans don't know anything about proper food"
Nanami-
He knows you'd have a hard time communicating with the locals in Malaysia so he opts out of that trip and takes you to the countryside, his second favourite vacation destination. Living in a rural area was a dream of his, getting to sit down at the bay window reading a book as his daughter played beside him, he was waiting for you to wake up so that he could take his daughter on a walk around the field.
"Mama!" Slapping your sleeping form awake, head still resting on the pillow as you gained awareness of your situation. "Me and papa are going on a walk!" Noticing her attire, pink floral dress to match your favourite flowers, her hair typed up into two pigtails. Nodding in response as you wished her a good time.
Your husband and daughter walked along the path after around 25 minutes, coming back with freshly picked strawberries and tulips, his daughter sleeping in his arms as he carried the basket in his other, head resting along his clothed shoulder with her hand gripping along his collar.
Geto-
He doesn't mind where you 3 go, but he would prefer somewhere hot, walking along the beach in the evening, sun setting along the beach as nobody was in sight, daughter trailing behind him, always reaching towards the water every few seconds since she saw something pretty. "Daddy I want that!" Pointing to the red seashell which washed up. Stopping in his tracks as he held your hand, waiting for you to stop walking. "Can I grab it?" She had asked that since last time she touched something on the beach it was a jellyfish, fortunately it didn't sting her.
Nodding his head as he held your hand tighter, squatting down as your thumb rubbed against his knuckles. Slowly sundress touching his shoulder slightly. "Look mama and papa!" Holding the shell in her small palms, tracing the details with her chubby fingers. "It's very pretty sweetheart!" Rubbing her hair gently, not enough to mess it up though.
Gojo-
He loves hot countries, getting an excuse to flex his body off. Sat in a bathing suit at the side of the bed as you picked out outfits for your 2 year old daughter, "Hurry up Y/N!" Laying down on the bed, stretching his slender arms out, hitting the edge of the bed. Giving him a glare back as your daughter sat on the armchair beside you, kicking her legs as she picked out an outfit. "Shut up Satoru, you come help our daughter then" defending your actions as you showed her a few more options, you didn't even know why she had so many bathing suits if you were just there for a week. "I'm good" a smile being heard in his voice as he checked up on you two.
"That one mummy!" Pointing at the light purple bathing suit. "Took your time" throwing a pillow at him as he gave you attitude.
Toji-
He didn't care much about where you went, as long as you 3 were together. Wandering around the city, you had dragged him out of the hotel room at 8pm, since you wanted to visit a local restaurant, scowl on his face as he held his daughter in his arms, hands gripping onto his hair as she looked around. "Are we almost there daddy?" The small girl eyeing all the food stands you walked past, peeking her face into his eyesight as she tugged further. "Ask ya' mother" pointing towards you and how quick you were compared to him, you clearly were eager for the restaurant.
Sat down at the booth as he placed down his daughter. "Was it really worth coming out at 8pm for this?" He wasn't in the mood for your stuff, especially since you had told him not to eat today since the food here was so good, he hadn't even seen the menu yet he was already annoyed, daughter laying on his torso as she tried not to fall asleep despite not doing any walking if her own.
"I told you it would be good" watching your husband stuff his face as your daughter tried your food, dipping her spoon into it. Smiling at him as he gave you an acknowledgement glare.

YOUR COLOURS
Tumblr media
━─┉┈◈❖◈┈┉─━
Request:
I need any kind of soulmate AU , Bruno Madrigal X Reader
━─┉┈◈❖◈┈┉─━
When you were little, your mother told you millions of times about the day she met your father, and you, loving that story, asked her to tell it to you millions of times more.
She recounted that one day, during a walk with some friends, the wind blew away the shawl around her neck and a young beautiful boy picked it up for her, as soon as his hand touched the small piece of cloth, the silk became light blue.
Until a person finds their soulmate, their eyes can only be seen in black and white, but if one of the two predestined touches the same thing in a short amount of time, the object and the world around will slowly become colourful and their love would be strong as a mountain.
The years passed and you got tired of seeing the world only in black, white, grey and all the combinations in between.
One day, you were helping a new married couple, the Mejors, to move from their parent's house to the one their friend Luisa Madrigal had built for them.
Balancing two large boxes in your arms, you crossed the street with your field of view so limited that all you could see was cardboard and because of this one of your feet caught an uneven stone.
You were prepared for hitting the floor, but someone in front of you managed to avoid your fall and with your eyes still closed in fright, you thanked the stranger and entered the couple's house.
"Where do I put these?" You asked.
"In the bedroom, please" Mrs Mejor answered.
You placed the boxes on the floor and as you were about to leave, something caught your eyes.
The bottom box, the one you actually held in your hands was slowly changing colour, from a place grey to a light brown, the tone spreading from a handprint on one side.
"Oh Dios mio" you shrieked.
"Did something broke?" Señor Mejor told you.
"No! The box... The box is changing colour, I can see its colour!" You shouted.
"One of you saw the man that helped me before?" Saying so you walked outside but there was no one to be seen.
"Y/N, that means he is your soulmate. Do not worry, Encanto is not so big" the lady tried to cheer you up.
"I know..." You murmured.
You returned home distraught and with your head in the clouds, you had waited so long for that moment and due to an unfortunate case you were not able to see him.
Not having even eaten a single bite of your food and seeing you down in spirits, your family asked you what had happened, so you told them everything, they were happy for you but sorry that you had missed that very special moment and like Mrs Major, they were confident that you would find him again.
Laying in your bed you trashed around for a while but since sleep wouldn't come you schemed and planned how to find the mysterious man.
You thought of going to the main square and touching as many surfaces as possible hoping that passing by, your soul mate could touch them in turn in a short amount of time.
You soon discarded the idea.
So you imagined of purposely losing a shoe with your name written on it and-
"Ew, that's lame! Who goes around losing shoes without realizing it?" You grunted.
Several days later you informed your father that for the whole day, you would have to help with the decorations of the village in preparation for the Spring equinox.
"Buenos Dias, Y/N" the old lady that lived in front of your house greeted you.
"Buenos Dias señora! ¿Qué se dice de bella hoy?" You asked.
"You did not hear? Bruno Madrigal returned home!" She whispered.
"The one with precognition powers? Mama told me about him once but I was just a kid back then"
"I saw him going that way, be careful, he cause misfortune!" And she pointed the direction with one of her bony fingers.
You lined the streets with decorations and flowers of which colours you could not even imagine, helped by the only member of the Madrigals that could actually create flowers out of nowhere.
The ebb and flow of time seemed to slow to a halt, even the slow setting of the sun took you by surprise and climbing down from the ladder you were on, you saw a stranger talking with Isabela.
He was strangely fascinating and you found yourself staring at him for a few moments until you managed to disenchant yourself.
The man had long curly black hair with grey streaks and looked like he hasn't had a day of sleep in months since his prominent eyebags were impossible to ignore.
He wears a ruana two sizes bigger that has seen better days over a shirt, pants, and a pair of sandals.
"Hello! I'm Y/N, nice to meet you" you said greeting him cheerfully.
You extended your hand but looking at it he took a step backwards, staring at you in disbelief.
"You don't know me?" He demanded.
"No, that's why I'm presenting myself" You responded perplexed.
"I'm Bruno Madrigal, you certainly have heard about me and what I am" told the man fidgeting with his oversized ruana.
"I have, nevertheless, I'm glad to finally meet you" you smiled gently.
He was about to reach for your hand when a cascade of flowers dropped on your head, Bruno tried to catch them but they just brushed his fingers.
"I'm so sorry," Isabella said sincerely "one of the big flower decorations just broke right above you!"
"I'm fine! No need to worry " you laughed but Bruno was walking away.
The flowers on the floor became blue and bright pink, the ground became dark brown and all the rest of the world took finally colour, but as beautiful as it was you didn't care about that.
"Bruno wait!" You called after him.
"No, please. I don't know what you're seeing but there's a mistake." He blurted walking faster.
"We're seeing the same thing! Slow down!" You ran in front of him and blocked his way extending your arms wide open.
"I'm probably older than your parents, don't do this to yourself..." He tried to convince you.
"I've waited all my life for you! Now that I find you...you don't want me, do you?" Your eyes were filling with tears and your heart was hammering in your chest.
He softened a bit "You're my soulmate...I think I'm in love with you, even before you introduced yourself, actually...I've been seeing colours for days, since the time I helped you to not fall."
"You what?" It was your turn to be frightened.
"You touched my clothes, maybe you didn't realize it. Suddenly I was seeing the world as it is and...I ran away." He admitted.
"Why? Tell me why you didn't tell me about it" You implored, grabbing him weakly from his clothes.
"You are so beautiful and young...I didn't make it. I believed there was a mistake. I never had happiness so I thought I wasn't worth it. Or worth of you" he explained, looking down at his sandals.
"Worth of me? We're destined to be together from the day we were born, Bruno. Somewhere in the universe is written that you're made for me as I'm made for you" you said placing your hand on his cheeks, rubbing the skin lovingly with your thumbs "You're perfect and if you'll look into our future, you'll see me always by your side"
Bruno was positively crying at that point, hiding his face in your neck as you held him tight, he was mumbling apologies between sobs and you shushed him gently until he recovered.
"Colours are beautiful, aren't they?" He questioned letting you go and still sniffing a bit.
"Yeah, but nothing compared to you." You responded, stealing a quick peck.
Bruno reddened like a child caught with his hands in a cookie jar, so you stole another kiss but that time he reciprocated.
"I believe my family would love you" he expressed taking one of your hands in his.
You brushed a curly strand from his face, marvelled at how gorgeous were his features and the colour of his eyes.
"You know what? I want to meet them!" You informed him.
"I have to tell you, sometimes they are a bit too much" he wanted you, walking on the way home.
"They seem wonderful, just like you," you said with a laugh.
As the sun disappeared behind the high mountains of Encanto, you walked hand in hand with your soulmate and just at that moment you realized that it's not finding the right person that makes you see the colour of the world all of the sudden but love and being loved surely does.

What if the monkey Y/N Behave like Gudetama.
Female Monkey Lazy Egg (Y/N)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Lmk Wukong) You guys are the lazy couple. Just loves how chill you are. When first met you, he was Wild and all over the place. But settle down as the years go by, and you kinda helped him with that too. He and others were shocked at how you were surprisingly good at giving advice. Especially to Mk The manifestation of anxiety and trauma and Red Son The Personification of expectations made to never be reached. The two had once stopped fighting because you told them that you were trying to take a nap and they were being too loud. Wukong Love's lazy days with you. Because all you two get to do was sleep, eat, and sleep some more. He loves to listen to your soft. Exhausted voice as you tell him, the daily advice and most at the time You always tell him to go with the flow. On a side note, you also get along with Macaque, but of course, nobody knows that.
Tumblr media
(NR Wukong) You are the only one who is able to get him, to chill out at least 5 minutes. Li and Su minds were blown because one moment He was bouncing off the walls. Then, all you had to do was call him down to the couch. And then he was laying next to you and didn't move a muscle. The two will never know how you're able to do it because they can't get them to sit down to save their lives. Your husband loves how laid back you are and at leaves him open to getting kisses and cuddles from you. Not that you mind you love how warm he is and how silly he can be. But it's not easy being married to him. And his never-ending energy despite his age. But like you always told him, you always go with the flow, and everything turns out okay in the end.
Tumblr media
(HIB Wukong) You guys are like a good match. Their is never a time when you guys aren't chilling somewhere and a quiet grass field. But ever since you talked in Liuer and Silly Girl, your lives have been more Eventful than unusual. Wukong was always running around protecting Liuer, and Silly girl would stick to u like glue. You were pretty sure she thought you were her mother. You didn't care too much, but they were both certainly a handful, but you're able to get the two under control better than he can. But overall, Wukong and the children wouldn't trade you for the heavens. Maybe they can go with the flow like you can.
Tumblr media
(MK Reborn Wukong) Your personality causes you to bump heads with Master tang on a daily basis. You hate how he pushes his Buddhist philosophy on to you and your husband. You even straight up told the monk that you guys have been married before Wukong met him, and there ain't a damn thing he can do about it. You're often hanging off your husband's back because you get tired of walking, which he doesn't mind because he likes to be close to you. Although the month didn't like how unmotivated and gloomy. You actually were, but in reality, well, you're just real. The first thing you told your husband when you first met was why when you let somebody else tell you what you worth. It was like he was shot down by Cupid's arrow that day. He definitely likes to cuddle and take naps with you and listen to your tired voice. Talk about your day even though he was right there with you. The main point is you taught him how to go with the flow and just relax. It's gonna be so fun for him to take back to flower fruit mountain.
Tumblr media
(Netflix Wukong) He relies on you for so much. More than you can ever comprehend, He never knows how you could just let things wash over you without a problem. How you're always chill and you never let things get to you. Do you really want to know your secret. You even taught him that no matter how hard he tries to show he's got control , he really doesn't. He asked to go with the flow and that sometimes everything turns out the way it should be. He has a lot to learn, and he's glad that he has you to learn it with and from. Also, cuddles and kisses with you are the best thing. Peaches, and he hopes to always have you around him forever.

【MEGUMI F.】 flowers.
A/N —> I can just imagine Megumi trying to hard to hide his feelings for you but Gojo can see right through him and so he tells Megumi to leave you flower until he’s ready to confess !! ★彡
✧. ┊︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶┊.✧
➤ it’s been two weeks, two whole weeks of flowers being left outside your dorm room every single day. There’s never a note leaving you flustered and confused. You had asked around the entire school and no one knew anything. “I wished I knew who it wass!” you said with an annoyed huff.
Fushiguro, Kugisaki and Itadori sat with you on the ground of the training field. You had all been training for hours while you talked there ears off with all your different theories. You decide that it must of been someone outside of Jujutsu Tech “do you really need to know who it is…?” Megumi asked clearly annoyed with you at this point.
“Yes, yes I do?” You threw a handful of grass at the raven-haired boy, “I think it’s Yuta!” Nobara stated her thoughts ignoring Megumi “he’s always looking at you” she pointed a finger at you emphasizing her idea.
“Whatever” Megumi rolled his eyes before storming away from the group leaving all three of you confused “what’s got his panties in a twist…” you muttered throwing the other two first years in a laughing fit, “he’s…just jealous” Yuji said in between laughs.
His words causing you to stop giggling “w-what?” Itadori and Kugisaki look at each before falling back into there laughing fit. “Ugh you guys are no help” you rolled your eyes and walked off to go find Fushiguro. When you didn’t see him in the hall you decided to knock on his room door.
You stood in front of his dorm waiting to see if he was even inside, after a few minutes past you decided that he probably wasn’t in his dorm so you turned to walk away “what…?” A low voice said behind you making to spin on your heels back to the now opened door.
His hair was wet and he was wearing gray sweat pants, he clearly had just gotten out of the shower the biggest give away was that… he didn’t have a shirt on.
Oh god
“Why’re you here?” He raised a brow at you, his voice snapping you out of your thoughts “oh… I just wanted to check up on you… you know, because you stormed off…” you tried your absolute hardest not to let yours eyes wander to his exposed chest.
“I’m fine” he said quickly, he moved the towel that adorned his head to rest on his neck. “Well… can I come in?” A small smile found its way to your face “I promise I won’t talk about the flowersss!” You said jokingly.
He nodded his head slightly, you pushed past him and made your way to lay on his bed “training was so exhausting…” your eyes shut sleep slowly enveloping you. You could feel a dip in the bed when Fushiguro sat down next to you “do… do you enjoy the flowers…?” You opened your eyes to look at him “definitely!” You nodded your head happily.
“Is there… anyone you want it to be…?” You shut your eyes once again smiling at the idea of a certain someone giving you these flowers “there’s one person”.
“Oh…”
His tone confused you for the 100th time today “why do you sound disappointed…?” You sat up on the bed opening your eyes to look into his, “I’m not” he shook his head quickly, “mhmm” your eyes wandered across his room and soon landed on a bouquet of white roses.
“You should go back to your dorm… it’s getting late” he said getting up from the bed, you ignored what you had saw and quickly exchanged good nights. You were tired from your long day and decided to call it a night.
─────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───────
The next day was another extreme training session with Maki and Toge, you tried your best to take your mind of your current situation, you and Maki walked back to your dorm to find another Bouquet of flowers.
But this time they were familiar… way too familiar.
It was a bouquet of white roses. The same bouquet that you had seen in megumi’s dorm last night. You pick up the flowers and made a run for Fushiguro’s room. When you got there you started knocking non-stop “I know your in there Megumi!” you yelled from outside the door.
The door was pulled open, an annoyed expression planted on the boys face “wha-“ you slammed the bouquet into his chest “so it’s you! It’s been you all along!” His face went from annoyed to absolute fear and shock “I-I can explain” his fingers wrapped around the bouquet nervously.
“It’s not what it looks lik-“ his eyes widened when you pulled him into a passionate kiss, you hands moving to his hair, your fingers getting tangled in his dark locks and his own hands found there way to your waist.
You pulled away from the kiss trying to catch your breath, he looked into your eyes “if I knew you felt the same… I would’ve told you sooner” his voice was just barely a whisper, you roll your eyes before pulling him into another softer kiss, his lips soft when they pressed against yours.
“I really love you Gumi…”
“I love you too…”
— yours truly, Viki

I have hc request! May I? Imagine Muichiro, Rengoku and Tanjiro admiring you dancing and humming under the moonlight from afar but then suddenly you appeared beside them and pulled them to dance with you🫠🫠🫠🫠

“All the pretty stars shine for you, my love.” -Lana Del Rey
˚ʚkamado tanjiroɞ˚
Tanjiro was able to tell you had gotten up and left the room. Your sweet scent slowly leaving as your soft footsteps against the wooden floor were receding.
The moment the shoji door could be heard closing, the boy stood up, getting off the futon laid out for him. Inosuke and Zenitsu were still sleeping, not even realizing you had left. 
It took a while to shake himself awake, but once he finally did, he walked over to the door and slid it open. Tanjiro slipped on his shoes before exiting out to the engawa and closing the door. He didn’t exactly understand why you had wandered off in the middle of the night.
You were a demon slayer, you knew about how dangerous it was to wander off alone at night. 
Tanjiro walked across the path of the engawa, sleepiness written all over his over face along with slight confusion.
If not for the gentle sound of humming filling his ears, he would’ve walked right past you, not even able to tell you were there due to the darkness of the night.
The soft hums made him stop yet made him feel even more tired than before. Tanjiros head slowly moved to where the hums were heard. He couldn’t see much due to his slightly blurry vision, all he could make out was a figure. His eyes squinted before he rubbed them, ignoring his exhaustion that attempted to consume him.
That same figure he saw gently swaying and humming under the moonlight had turned out to be you. Without delay, Tanjiro turned his whole body in your direction, finding himself entranced by you.
After some time, Tanjiro found himself moving to sit down. His legs dangled off the engawa as he watched you with a gentle smile on his face.
Tanjiro watched you for quite some time before closing his eyes, intaking the smell of the flowers planted across the grass field im front of him. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw you weren’t there. Only the flowers and the trees could be seen now.
Tanjiro felt himself tense up as his heart dropped. He didn’t have his katana with him but he got ready to stand up and find you.
Suddenly he felt a gentle hand on his shoulder, making him whip his head in that direction. The moment he saw you, his tensed muscles relaxed as the kind smile appeared on his face again.
You smiled back before grabbing Tanjiros hand to pull him up. You watched as the boys eyes widened as you dragged him off to where you had been previously standing. 
Tanjiro seemed nervous and you could tell by the way he had cautiously followed your steps as you continued dancing and whirling gracefully.
“Have you ever danced before?” You asked Tanjiro with a small smile, laughing at the way he had tripped over himself yet didn’t fall. His face burned a bright red soon after.
Both of your hands reached out, grabbing Tanjiro as you tried your best to help him learn. It didn’t take long until he figured out how to do it. But with the way you looked under the bright stars was enough to distract him.

˚ʚrengoku kyojuroɞ˚
Going on missions with the flame pillar was something you got used to. With the compatibility of your breathing styles, Oyakata often assigned you two missions together when rumors of the twelve kizuki were spread.
Currently you were on a mission with the flame hashira. You had been laying on your futon, turning endlessly and you couldn’t get a rest at all. A lady had been kind enough to let you two stay at her residence after you saved her from the demon causing havoc in the town.
Yet even after defeating the demon you still couldn’t get sleep. Your body turned over to the side as your eyes glanced at Rengoku who was sleeping peacefully with the smallest smile on his face.
A slight sigh left your lips as you sat up, pushing yourself off the futon. You slipped on your shoes, sliding open the shoji door to head outside.
Next thing you knew, you found yourself humming to yourself while swaying yourself around, hoping to eventually tire yourself out.
Only a few minutes after you had gotten up, Kyojuro awoke as well. His eyes traveled over to where your futon was, only to see you missing. His eyes widened in the slightest as he jumped up, quickly grabbing his katana before running outside.
Despite being tired, he found himself running off to find you. Suddenly melodic humming filled his ears, making him pause his actions. It wasn’t the first time he heard you humming to yourself. You often did it on missions. So he immediately knew it was you.
Rengoku found himself moving in the direction of your voice. After turning a certain corner, he saw you. His heart rate slowed down as he stood there, watching you dance swiftly under the moon. 
The shining night sky had easily complimented your beauty. But in his eyes, with or without a perfect scenery, you were absolutely beautiful.
With the way you had moved to gently, he couldn’t get his eyes off of you. Suddenly, you had disappeared. Since you were a hashira, he was used to the way you had moved so quickly. But it had seemed like you had just vanished.
Suddenly, he felt two hands grab his own. And before he knew it he was with you in the same small field he had watched you dance in. A large smile plastered itself onto his face, making you smile as well.
Your humming continued and Rengoku eventually took the lead. However it didn’t take long until you fell asleep, Rengoku carrying you off back inside.

˚ʚtokito muichiroɞ˚
You didn’t often spend the night at the mist pillars estate. You offered to leave multiple times as to not be a bother, but he continued on telling you he didn’t mind you spending the night there. When you had arrived at the estate you were just supposed to drop something off. However you got distracted and next thing you knew, the night sky fell.
Even with being in the presence of a hashira, you felt you weren’t able to sleep peacefully. You never really received an undisturbed sleep. And eventually giving up, you left the room you had been staying in at the estate and wandered off outside.
Muichiro had always been a light sleeper. It was easy for him to wake up at the smallest noises. And since you had been in the room right across from his, he could hear your footsteps slowly going to exit the estate.
A small sigh left his lips as he got off his own futon. The first thing he thought of was an attempt of yours to leave. He understood you weren’t as skilled as him and if you were to run into a demon while leaving his estate, he would  blame himself.
It didn’t take long until he paused, not even halfway through looking for you. Of course he had ended up forgetting what he was doing outside. But before he could turn around to head back inside his estate, he heard soft hums coming from his favorite spot to watch the clouds.
He followed the soft noise, quickly assuming it was a demon of some sort. He found you right after. Dancing around a small field with a smile on your face. 
Muichiro moved down to sit on the soft grass as he continued to admire you, listening intently to your mesmerizing humming.
He had been completely silent, not making a noise as he continued to watch you, his eyes not leaving you once. You hadn’t even realized he was there. Your eyes wandered along until they soon fell on Muichiro. 
You paused for a quick second. The moment your humming stopped and your moving came to a halt, Muichiro’s head tilted. A small smile made its way onto your lips.
Muichiro watched as you walked over to him, extending your hand out for him to grab. He averted his gaze away from you before finally putting his hand in yours.
You watched as Muichiro’s stoic face remained although now a light pink hue covered his cheeks. He didn’t at all move as gracefully as you. You had to lead him and show him how to do it but you could tell he was hardly paying attention. More so just admiring you.

Spider and Tuk being the bestest siblings ever and spider being the mvp big brother we all know he is hc's (modern + adopted spi au addition):
Before he could drive he would wait at Tuk's bus stop to get her off the bus. He insisted on doing it to "ease the workload on his parents" (since with Jake and Neytiri's work schedule, Tuk would have to go to an afterschool program and someone would have to pick her up) which it does, but it was really cause he liked to have the quality time with Tuk.
On their walk home he would ask her about school. He asks about what she did, if she brought anything home she wanted to show him (normally stuff from art class), if she did anything special or fun, that sort of stuff. He also stays up to date on her school gossip and makes sure no one's bothering his baby sis.
They hold hands the whole walk home, and more often than not he ends up carrying her or her bag for her.
Once he gets his license he picks her up from school and fills the 45 minute-ish time she would have normally spent on the bus and walking home at the park or getting ice cream or something else of the like.
When they get home he makes sure to look at anything she brought home. All the cool stuff first; art, school work she's proud of, a pretty pebble, or the occasional half wilted flower from the recess field. He makes sure to give all the praise and compliments possible, especially to the art and school work, cause he's supporting those skills early. Then he makes sure he gets all the homework, permission slips, things like that.
When his siblings ask why he does it, he says, "Who's gonna ask her to see what she drew during recess? Who's gonna ask if she did anything fun with her best friend? Who's gonna make sure she's not left out of the loop? We're a busy family, I don't want her getting left out just cause she's little, I'll ask, I like doing it anyway" he knows his family's busy, he knows Tuk tends to fall to the background cause she's the youngest, and that Jake and Neytiri are busy trying to keep them all afloat, so he takes care of Tuk.
He helps her with her homework and never raises his voice or gets frustrated. He sits next to her and they figure it out together.
He's always proud of her, even for the little things, so he's always giving her hugs and kissing her hair and other classic big brother things.
More often than not, Spider puts Tuk to bed. Either Jake and Neytiri give up trying to tame the "cranky banshee" (what Spider call her when she's tired) of a child and call Spider in, or she asks for him. He'll lay down next to her and pull her close and tell her stories until she gets sleepy and cuddled into him. Only then does he pull out the "put'em to sleep" combo, as he calls it; he hum to her (he hums "a la nanita na", like his mama used to hum to him, fight me) while rubbing her back with one hand and plays with her braids with the other. She's out like a light in a few minutes every time.
He often refers to her as a little banshee whenever she's being feisty or especially energetic.
There was an almost 2 month streak where Tuk would only sleep if Spider stayed in her room for the night or if she was in Spider's bed (which she preferred cause it was bigger and cozier). Spider didn't mind so he gave in almost immediately. Best sleep he got in years, even with the bony knees and elbows poking him.
Spider will sacrifice himself when she gets sick, opting to be the one to go comfort her, knowing he'll be sick soon after. He has spent many nights holding her on the bathroom floor and wiping snotty noses. (he always gets it and gets it *worse* but it's worth it for his baby sis)
Tuk always does he best to take care of him after. She'll sit in bed with him and pet his hair or bring him snacks/water. When she was little, she'd bring out all her Doc McStuffin's toys (cause she'd love Doc McStuffin's, again, fight me) and try and 'make him better'
Spider has the strongest cuteness aggression ever for Tuk, like, he wants to squish her and bite her and squeeze her and shake her, with all of the love in the world. He satiates himself by snatching her, flopping on the floor, and bear hugging her as tight as he can, with his legs too, and just rolling back and forth till she's giggling so hard she can't breathe.
He is deeply invested in multiple children's shows because of how often he watches them with her. (His favorite is Wild Kratts, Paw Patrol, and Ninja Turtles)
(this one next one is so random but Spi and Tuk have pastina lover vibes, again, I dare you to fight me on this)
Spider spent time in the system and fending for himself, meaning he picked up a lot of easy recipes, one of which, was pastina with butter, broth, and cheese. He passed this on to Tuk, who has now decided this is the best snack ever and asks him to make it all the time.
Spider works out, just so he can carry her around forever and ever.
He always make sure that he and his older little siblings always give time to Tuk and involve her in their play.
They go on day trips after he gets his license, sometimes just the two of them, other times with all the Sully kids. They go to museums and science centers and such. He again holds her hand most of the time, or makes sure that she doesn't get lost while playing.
Worries over her constantly.
They trade art all the time. He'll make her a knew piece of jewelry and she'll give him a new painting to keep in his room.
He has a picture of her in his wallet.
He takes so many photos of her, he's like a facebook mom. Lo'ak makes fun of him.
He's teaching her how to skateboard, cause she thinks he's the coolest ever cause he knows how to skateboard. He got her a pretty skateboard and hot pink gear (in which he went overboard in buying considering her basically bought her a hot pink suit of armor) and helped her decorate it. He also makes sure she's not picked on when they go to the skate park.
He kisses every boo boo.
He makes and (never ever breaks) lots of pinky promises.
they have a special handshake.
When the Sully's go out anywhere, you can tell when Tuk wants to go home, because she'll be in Spi's arms, cause he'd never turn down an opportunity to hold his baby sister.
They match hair beads. Spi will always have at least one that matches with hers at all times, and Tuk will have one of his on the braid behind her ear so she can fiddle with it.
Tuk always double and triple checks that Spider has his inhaler (he doesn't know how she remembers better than he can)
She wears his shirts to bed a lot. They're big and soft and who could blame her?
should I do more of these (maybe one for each sibling?)

I told you I was going to kill myself tonight
Tw-suicide, suicidal thoughts, eating disorder, skipping meals, hanging, suicide note.
Tumblr media
This morning Bi-Han didn’t wake you up to do his hair
He didn’t guide you to your station
He didn’t save you a spot beside him- so it got filled. Then you ate alone, you didn't finish it. You were hungry, but it felt fattening when you ate alone
Then he didn't go on a walk with you to cool down after your day- which in turn, means he also didn't hold your hand
While getting ready for bed you didn't tell him about your day, he didn't even notice
He didn't face you when sleeping either- or say anything when you cried yourself to sleep
That was what you wrote a week ago, things haven't changed
You told him how you felt, how you can't eat lunch alone because it makes you feel fat, but he won't save a spot for you, or eat with you outside
So you stopped eating lunch
You didn't have time to eat breakfast, because he wouldn't get you up to do his hair anymore
Then you stopped eating dinner because you were losing focus- and started to take longer to do things
Which led you to get to bed later, Bi-Han didn't care. Or at least he didn't say anything
Until he did
‘Your performance is disappointing, I expect better from you’
‘I know..’
‘Fix it then, you don’t get a free pass just because you are sad. You are choosing not to get better. It’s pathetic.’
‘You’re right, I'm sorry.’
He doesn't say anything, and he turns away from you and just goes to sleep
You are taking matters into your own hands now
You lay next to him, and whisper in his ear
‘I'm going to kill myself tonight, I am going to hang myself. I can't do this anymore. I hope you can make your vision of the clan a reality. I love you. But I don't think I can be with someone like you. I wish you could say you loved me. I don't think you can, I understand.’
You didn't want it to happen like this. You wanted to have a little family with him. You wanted to be happy. But you can't, you’re sorry.
That’s what you write, then you leave
You’re now in a flower field far from home
Now you’re hanging from a vine in the trees
Now your dead, and you can’t hurt anyone or anything
You can’t be upset when Bi-Han doesn’t wake you up
You can’t be upset when he doesn’t save you a spot
Or take a walk with you
Or listen about your day
You can’t do anything
You are nothing, you are no one

The sunflower field was healthy and strong, the sun shined brightly, and the partly cloudy sky was beautiful, the little yellow monkeys lazed around on top of the giant sunflowers, some sleeping while others picked bugs off one another. On the ground, a few baby monkeys could be seen running through the thick stems of the flowers as they cooed to one another happily. You hummed a sweet little tune as you walked along the bridge that lays in the valley of sunflowers, you were on your way to water the more newly bloomed sunflowers, so you made it a habit very quickly to give them water first so that you didn't actually forget.
You stopped as you turned to look over the edge of the bridge, far down below you could see the newly bloomed flowers, they were young and they stood around your height. You smiled down at them happily as you continued on your walk coming to a 4-way crossroad in the bridge. Three going in two going in different directions while the last one came back towards you but went down in a slight slop. The bridge was built like a zigzag below you, while in front of you, it became a crossroad. You turned to walk down the zigzag, making your way down the slopes as you walked further down.
Once you were at a decent height over the flowers you raised your hands high above your head, and you cuffed them like you were holding water before you closed your eyes and your hands glowed, and out came water. It sprayed upwards from your palms creating a light 'rainfall' over the flowers. You stood there for a while, patiently allowing the plants to soak up as much water as possible. A few of the baby monkeys that were playing through the larger flowers came running to play in the 'rainfall'.
You chuckled at them sweetly as you watched them play under the light shower, a small twinkle in the sky appeared behind you, unaware, you continued to water the sunflowers before the small twinkle flashed again and like a meteor, a flaming object shot out of the sky in the distance landing far in your sunflower field. You tensed up in shock when the object landed hard on the ground making the earth shake. You turned around in confusion as you saw black smoke coming from the distance. You frowned as you stopped watering your flowers and you went to go investigate. You hopped along the top of the large sunflowers, taking the quickest route to the area.
When you arrived you stared on in curiosity as you saw a giant crater in the ground, not too far from the edge of the sunflower field. A few of the monkeys gathered around you as they too stared down in curiosity. "Stay here, I'm going to go and check things out." You told the monkeys as you jumped off the flower, you landed on the ground not too far from the crater, and you eased up to the edge of it, peering down into the deep hole. You checked for any impending danger in the hole before you slid down the slope of it.
Once at the bottom, you approached the smoking middle cautiously, there, you waited patiently for the smoke to clear, and it wasn't long before you saw a figure. You stared intensely as it became clearer for you to see and once it was clear enough your eyes widened when you saw that it was a black-furred monkey. You approached him cautiously, seeing that he was injured, his clothes were burned and torn, cuts ran along his body as well as matted fur from blood and mud. You frowned in worry before you summoned a sunflower underneath him, it gently bloomed around him before it closed and vanished. You looked around the crater before you shook your head.
"Property Damage." You said tiredly before you hopped out of the hole. You made your way back to the top of the large sunflowers, there the monkeys all cooed at you in concern and you smiled down at them. "Don't worry you lot, everything is okay, if he's nice then you'll have a new friend to play with soon." You said sweetly to them. They all jumped and clapped in joy as they began to coo among themselves. You smiled at their antics before you hopped along the top of the sunflowers.
In the center of the sunflower field, lay a large yet simple home, it was at the top of a gigantic sunflower, you ran along the vines that acted as stairs till you reached your front porch. You opened the door and in the center of your living room laid the giant bud of an unbloomed sunflower. You closed the door behind you as you held your other hand out to the bud making it bloom. In the center of the sunflower lay the unconscious black-furred monkey. He lay in the fetal position, a painful groan came from him but he remained asleep.
You stared down at him in concern before you walked into your bathroom, coming back shortly with a medical kit. "Don't you worry, I'll make sure you feel good as new when you wake up." You said gently.
*:・゚✧*:・゚✧ *:・゚✧*:・゚✧ *:・゚✧*:・゚✧ *:・゚✧*:・゚
It's been a few hours since you've cleaned his wounds, wrapped bandages around him, and washed his tattered clothes. You'll have to repair them later. You were brewing herbal tea as you hummed softly to yourself while you scrubbed his dirty boots in the kitchen sink. A painful groan sounded out and you looked behind you, seeing that the black-furred monkey was rubbing his forehead. The petal that acted as a blanket slightly lifted itself off of his body while another petal gently petted his back. You smiled at the sunflower's actions before you picked up a hand towel to dry your hands.
You walked over to the sunflower, staring down at him patiently. You watched as he opened his eyes, he looked around in confusion and alarm as he took in his foreign environment, you watched silently as he suddenly moved to sit up quickly, but he paused when he grunted in pain and held his side. You remember seeing a nasty gash on that side so you weren't surprised to see him wince. You nearly chuckled when you saw the sunflower gently pet his head with one of its petals and he flinched back in alarm, he stared at the yellow petal in shock before he grew confused. He gently sniffed it and he arched a brow.
"A flower?" He muttered, he looked down to see that he was lying on a giant sunflower, your brow twitched at the language he used but that wasn't an issue for you. You watched as the petal that was acting as a blanket before gently laying back over his lap, he stared down at the petal in question before he gently rubbed it in curiosity. You chose the moment to speak up. "The flower really likes you, it can sense that you're a good-hearted soul." You explained gently. He whirled around in alarm and he winced but he didn't hold his side not wanting to show pain. He glared at you while you smiled at him.
"Who are you?" He asked. "I'm (Y/n), I'm the owner of this field and this house." You explained. He stared at you cautiously, he eyed you up and down. "Where am I?" He asked, he noticed that you hadn't moved an inch since he noticed you which made him relax slightly. "You're in Sunflower Field Forest." You explained. He arched a brow at that. "Huh?" He questioned, you smiled at his confusion. "I can tell from your language that you're from China, so I'm not surprised that you've never heard of 'Sunflower Feild Forest.'" You explained. He looked around himself for a second before he looked back at you.
"So, where is, 'Sunflower Feild Forest' then?" He asked. "Welcome to Mother Russia, the home to the most beautiful sunflowers." You explained as pride filled your voice. His eyes widen at that. "MOTHER RUSSIA!!! HOW DID I END UP HERE!?" He shouted in confusion. You shrugged your shoulders. "Well, from the looks of it, you were in a pretty bad fight and you fell from the sky, you were pretty banged up so I brought you here and I nursed you back to health." You explained. He looked away from you, his eyes bouncing as he thought over what happened before he landed here.
You decided to walk over to the oven, picking the kettle up as you poured some tea into a cup. You added some sugar to help ease the taste of the herbs and you carefully took the cup to him. "Here, blow, it's scalding." You said gently as you crouched next to him. He gently took the cup from you, heeding your advice as he blew the liquid. You watched as he took a sip and you smiled. "This is actually pretty good." He said. You closed your eyes in pride as you placed your hands on your hips. "It's my special blend." You proudly said. He took another sip. "Well it's pretty amazing, I might need this recipe." He said with a small smirk. You lightly chuckled at him before you walked over the the couch that wasn't far from his sunflower bed.
"I'll gladly teach it to you If you'd like?" You offered. He looked over at you with a pleased stare. "Would you really? It would help out quite a bit." You nodded as you shrugged. "Sure, I have nobody else to teach it to, so I might as well teach you." You said. It was quiet for a while after that, the sound of him sipping his tea sounded out while you gently hummed a small tune. He looked around your home, taking in the decor with a better understanding now, as the strange decor made sense. "You know, I wasn't expecting another 'Mystic Monkey' to be living way out here in Russia." He said in a cheeky voice as he gave you an amused smirk.
You smiled at him as you leaned on a closed fist. "I didn't expect there to be another 'Mystic Monkey' to land in my field from such a long way. Tell me, are you the famous Monkey King?" You asked. He gave you a sheepish chuckle as he smiled awkwardly at you. "Ah, no, that's my... long-time friend Sun Wukong. I'm Macaque, six-eared Macaque that is." He explained as he proudly introduced himself.
You stared at him with interest. "Six ears hmm? Interesting, your hearing must be amazing then." You said thoughtfully. He smiled sheepishly as he looked down at his lap. "Yeah, you can say that, my hearing is the best." He said. You observed him, taking in his meek actions, you observed his actions as his emotions were everywhere but his meekness was his rawest emotion yet. 'He's a timid thing.' You sweetly thought as you stared at him. He looked up at you in question. "What's with the staring?" He asked as he seemed to shrink in on himself as he became defensive.
You smiled at him. "Nothing, just admiring your uniqueness is all." You said. His eyes widened at your words before he rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm not that unique." He muttered. You chuckled at him. "I wouldn't say that, you literally landed out of the sky, if I didn't know any better I'd call you an angel." You teasingly said, he slightly blushed at your words.
*:・゚✧*:・゚✧ *:・゚✧*:・゚✧ *:・゚✧*:・゚✧ *:・゚✧*:・゚
You hung up his freshly repaired clothes on a clothing line, Macaque fell asleep once he finished his tea, as you weren't surprised, it was supposed to make you sleep so that it could do its job better at healing the body. You sighed happily as you watched his clothes gently blow in the soft breeze. His boots sat under his clothes also air drying. You looked out at your Sunflower, the sun that was once in the center of the sky was now at the 4:00 pm mark point in the sky, making the shadows longer. You sighed once more as you reached over to roll your shoulder tiredly, you weren't expecting anyone to come falling out of the sky, but it was in your nature to help any who came across your path.
You looked down when you saw a little monkey hop over to you curiously, and you smiled down at the little monkey. "hey little buddy, what's up?" You asked him sweetly. He tilted his head at you for a moment before he hopped over past you and towards your front door. You watched him curiously before you saw your door wide open. You walked over and peeked in curiously. You smiled as you saw loads of monkeys roaming around Macaque's sleeping body on the flowerbed. You watched in amusement as they crawled all over him, some snuggling up next to him while others poked at him curiously.
"Would you guys stop and let him sleep, I know that he's a monkey and that's different to see as I'm the only monkey you know of, but it's rude to do so." You gently scolded them as you pulled them away from him gently as you placed them on the floor. You watched as they cooed in complaint and you nodded your head. "yes, yes, I know, I know, but you have to let him rest first before you can play with him, he's badly injured and he needs to heal." You explained. They cooed some more in concern and you sighed. "Yes, I'm worried about him too, but all we can do is wait and hope that the herbal tea and medicine do their job." You said.
They all grew quiet as they stared up at you before they looked at one another and they all nodded before they began to make their way out of the house. You smiled fondly at them before you looked over at the sunflower bed, you watched as the baby monkeys snuggled up further into Macaque's side and back before they all dozed off with him. You shook your head as you walked away. "They're going to have a hard time saying goodbye once he has to leave." You muttered to yourself.
*:・゚✧*:・゚✧ *:・゚✧*:・゚✧ *:・゚✧*:・゚✧ *:・゚✧*:・゚
It's been a few weeks since Macaque landed in the Sunflower Field Forest, he's grown to be quite popular among the monkeys that live through the forest, and he's also been a great help to you. He's taken a liking to gardening, your simple and quiet lifestyle, and he was beginning to grow addicted to it very quickly. He couldn't do much due to his wounds but he helped with what he could, such as helping you water, helping the smaller sunflowers get sunlight, and aiding in babysitting the baby monkeys when it was heavily needed, it was small but it was meaningful.
You really did appreciate him, and you've also grown to like his company, he didn't talk much but he did enjoy asking questions as well as listening, he enjoyed learning about your country and the stories that belonged to your life that the humans have told throughout the ages. You weren't a bragger but you did enjoy talking about your victories. And just as he would ask questions and learn, so did you. He was pleased that there was a person interested in hearing his backstory for once, it was refreshing.
His wounds slowly healed up and he was able to do more by the 3rd-month mark, he was honestly pretty much completely healed by the 2nd month, but he honestly didn't want to leave. He was growing to love this place as a real home. He had his own monkey friends now, a place to call home, and he had you... He didn't know how to feel about you. You were the first besides MK to show him any kind of real acceptance, but it was different from MK's, it was more... he couldn't explain it but he just knew it was more.
You washed his clothes, you cooked for him, you rubbed his fur as he relaxed on your lap, you'd spend time together in the garden and throughout the forest with the little monkeys, you'd laugh with him and sometimes even cuddle with him. You were like a missing puzzle in his life that he never realized he was lacking, you made him feel whole. His insomnia wasn't as bad anymore, he ate more, he trained with a purpose now... in fact, he was doing everything for a purpose now, and he wasn't sure when he started doing that.
You gave him happiness, joy, comfort, and love. You accepted him and all his flaws with no questions asked. He adored that about you. By the 5th month, he began to crave your constant attention, always wanting to hear your voice, whether it's laughter, talking, humming, or even just snoring, He always wanted to have you by his side, whether it was close or somewhat far, as long as he could see you he didn't feel alone. He began to cuddle with you at night when you'd both sleep on your bed, he started cooking breakfast with you, and his own collection of clothes began to build up.
Possessions from his old home that he could sneak over without your knowing, and even if you did, you never seemed to care. You never seemed to complain when you had to wash more of his underwear and socks than the one pair he used to have, you didn't complain when some of his weapons began to appear on one of your empty walls, you didn't complain when his shadow was being more playful with you, you didn't mind when he kissed your cheek good morning or good night, you didn't mind when he wanted to slow dance with you in the living room, you never minded, and that just encouraged him further.
The thoughts of MK and his friends would cross his mind, but the idea of leaving behind your sweet smile always made him put the group at the back of his mind with a fleeting thought. 'If they need me, then they'll come find me.' He'd think before he'd continue on with his new life.
*:・゚✧*:・゚✧ *:・゚✧*:・゚✧ *:・゚✧*:・゚✧ *:・゚✧*:・゚
3 years have passed, and here he lives happily with you, the love of his life, his other half, the rings on your fingers shining brightly in the sunlight as you both sad outside on the porch on a small loveseat bench, his arm draped over the back of the seat while you landed into his side practically on his chest, watching over the newly born baby monkeys play with some of the slightly older ones, the little monkeys sat around you both as they enjoyed the quiet day with you both. Macaque chuckled as he shook his head and you looked over at him curiously. "What's so funny?" You asked, he shook his head with an amused smile as he looked out over the Sunflower Field Forest. "Oh nothing, just that I never knew what I needed until I met you." He said sweetly as he looked down at you.
You giggled at his words as you leaned further into him. "I'm glad you fell from the sky because you're something I never knew that I needed too."
