You were a courtier of the blasphemous couple, and a much beloved one at that. Your attendance to any meeting or merry event was highly coveted by them, each word spilt from your lips lapped up like wine. 
It doesn’t take too long for either of them to fall smitten with you, and they aren’t the type to be restricted by custom.
As soon as one realizes how fond of you they are, they’re already plotting with the other to win your affections.
That’s what it is — plotting.
These two are among some of the most passionate and charming Machiavellians to have ever roamed the Lands Between. They know everything there is about romance, obsession and suave flirtation.
The problem? They can be kind of scary.
Tanith is more straightforward in her flirting, and she comes on heavy. Her words are beyond just “flowery” — she speaks in poetry.
Poetry about wanting to rip out her still-beating heart and present it to you as a gift. Poetry about her heartfelt wish to have you kill and consume her. Poetry about wanting nothing more than to live inside your ribcage just so that she could be nearer to your heart.
It’s dramatic, it’s morbid, it’s … working?
She’s always calling you sweet little nicknames and holding your hand while you stalk the halls together, as coupled sweethearts typically do.
“How sweet you are. Why, I could just eat you up!” 
Rykard is less blunt. His flirting is more traditional in the sense that you just can’t tell if he’s trying to romance you or not.
Every interaction leave you with butterflies in your stomach — if not a little unnerved
He’s a tall, intimidating individual, and you never know when next he’ll strike with a sweetened word or two.
He takes you on tours around Gelmir and the manor often, surveying you more than he does his own property 
“Oh, I’ve seen it all before, dear. Thou art a far more alluring sight.”
Always greets you with some sort of glittering gift. There is no end to them, either. You receiving a priceless artifact he calls “jewelry” is as inevitable as the sun rising.
He often implores the help of his wife when flirting with you, hoping to make your heart beat double. 
“Dearest, tell me, hath thou beheld ever a more darling creature?”
“Never in all my years, my Lord. Such a precious thing it is.”
Rykard and Tanith on their own can fluster to no end when attempting to woo you, but when they’re together? It’s almost unfair. 
You’d be invited to dine at the manor one night, which wasn’t all too unusual. 
Really the only strange thing about the whole ordeal was the absence of Tanith’s knight from her side.
Even when the question was popped, it all seemed quite natural. Neither of them appeared all too nervous or desperate, though they undoubtedly were. 
“We wish for you to join our spousal covenant as family. ��Concubine’ fits just as well as ‘jester,’ and you are far dearer than either title.” 
The food was still hot when Rykard explained it to you, and it continued to steam when you accepted. 
Your wife commissioned your portrait the very same night. 
Their bed is stupidly huge, like it was always meant for three people. You typically sleep in the middle, and while there’s plenty of space the three of you always end up nestled together.
You’ve found that married life is not so different from the courting phase of your relationship. They’re still capable of flustering you, and dote on you often.
Even after Rykard’s serpentine transformation, your relationship remains the same.
Both you and your Lady visit his chambers daily to chat, dine and be lifted into his hand to press some kissed upon those darling new scales of his.
You and Rya become the best of friends from the instant the enters the picture. 
Lady Tanith plays the role of a mature mother, wise beyond her years -- and you are something of a playmate. 
Rya just adores you, giving you cute little gifts (geodes, pebbles, flowers, dead mice …) and clinging to you constantly.
Tanith thinks you spoil the girl too much, but how can you not when your dear daughter deserves every bit of it?
Volcano Manor, despite its grim appearance, is dutifully ruled by such surprisingly loving individuals. Your Lady wife holds you in adoring reverence, your Lord husband’s heart swells to the tune of your voice and your kindly Zorayas takes great pride in her parentage.
Though a blasphemer, you felt somehow close to the divine when wrapped in the tender coil of those who you called “family.”

Could I request a romantic concept for Rykard and Tanith from Elden Ring sharing a darling? I think of them as a package deal, they cannot be separated 😌 This would preferably be before Rykard has the body of a giant serpent haha
🕊️ anon
Sure! I'm going to try my best and see what I can come up for these two :) Of course before The Shattering and stuff... so, before blasphemy snake. ELDEN RING WIKI CAME IN CLUTCH!
Sorry if this is short... They are definitely OOC but we don't see much of this time period... I think.
Yandere! Rykard + Tanith Sharing a Darling
Pairing: Romantic - Sharing
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Manipulation, Possessive behavior, Unhealthy power dynamic, Violence, Blood, Mentioned torture (Not to you), Isolation, Murder, Forced relationship implied.
Tumblr media
Rykard, under The Golden Order, was known to be quite ruthless.
He was a justiciar, aka an administrator of justice, who commanded inquisitors.
You see, The Golden Order never liked to be opposed.
Rykard was essentially meant to hunt down heretics to torture and interrogate.
He often lived at Mt. Gelmir in a volcanic manor.
He was known to travel the lands too, which is where he met Tanith... His consort.
Tanith was originally a dancer in a foreign land... but when she and Rykard met, the two grew fond of one another.
While Rykard held up The Golden Order with his family, eventually he turned against it.
Tanith is the only human who stays with him once he turns to blasphemy.
I feel no matter what there's going to be a difference in power between Rykard, Tanith and their obsession.
Rykard is considered at least a demigod, due to his parentage.
But the good thing is Tanith is human to balance things out.
I imagine you'd first meet the two as you were either a servant or supporter of Rykard.
It was best to be on his good side, after all.
Many knew how ruthless Rykard could be to those that didn't agree with The Golden Order.
You weren't blind to the hidden torture chambers within the manor, after all.
You know very well what happens to those against The Golden Order.
There's no denying you're often fearful in Rykard's manor.
Even after Rykard gives into blasphemy, now you have new reasons to fear him.
Ironically, for being so feared, Rykard wouldn't harm his obsession.
He is intimidating to all but them and Tanith.
Tanith worships Rykard as her lord... and even encourages you to join.
You being involved with these two is most likely against your will.
You become the favorite of one, only for the other to do the same since they like each other happy.
It most likely starts with Tanith trying to encourage your support of Rykard as a fellow human.
Feeling overwhelmed? That's understandable...
But she'll help you out.
Then when Tanith introduces you to her lord, Rykard begins to see your... potential.
You end up accidentally becoming their third, something you were not intending to do.
You do not wish to meddle with Rykard and his consort.
You just wish to keep to yourself, to tend to your duties and turn a blind eye to the horrors in these walls...
Oh, foolish human...
You never really had much of a choice.
You are treated well by the two.
While Rykard specializes in torture/punishment, he supplies you with what you need.
Tanith is the one who gives you the most affection, encouraging you to give Rykard a chance.
In terms of their dynamic, Tanith is the affectionate one, while Rykard is the one who enforces the relationship you three have.
You can't tell me Rykard doesn't use the manor's torture chambers to get rid of those he feels will ruin what he's creating with Tanith.
You're manipulated into it by Tanith all while Rykard punishes those who have issues with it.
You are meant to be their company, someone who will support their cause.
At first it's The Golden Order... then Rykard brings up blasphemy, becoming the very thing he fought to destroy essentially.
The entire time, even if you're terrified of Rykard starting wars, Tanith reassures you.
They both love you very much... They always will no matter the form.
You're terrified because you see all the bloodshed... you hear all the screaming...
You're told they're heretics, that they are those who defied Rykard...
But why do the screams sound so familiar?
You can't help but cry when you hear a familiar voice.
Yet Tanith merely comforts you... and Rykard tells you what's done is done now.
The heretics shouldn't matter to you, they aren't helping you...
They're taking you.
Ignore the screams... The heretics will be dealt with to keep you beside them... your consorts...
Your family.

Only Pretending #6
Word count: 3.5k Author's note: sooo, I've decided that until I'm shadowbanned, I'll be posting this series here! I'll still reblog the chapters so it is on my primary blog. I won't be able to reply to comments still (as this is a secondary blog), but know that I sincerely appreciate every single note you people leave, so thank you so much in advance, you are so beautiful!
Tumblr media
If pressed, you wouldn’t be able to tell how long you spent kissing that night. Wouldn’t be able to remember when you straddled her lap, holding on for however long you could.
Larissa’s hands were the gentlest torturers you’d ever known, softly but surely going from caressing your face to gripping your neck and ending up on your hips, pressing you closer with a desperate feel to it.
You could not remember the last time you were so thoroughly studied. Maybe never. There was no part of you her hands did not travel through and for the first time, you cursed your fuzzy pyjamas. What wouldn’t you have given to feel her fingers grip your thighs without any barrier between you? It was a curse but also a blessing. If you had felt cold fingers on your heated skin, you might not have had the strength to stop it.
Larissa was following a clear path. She had a goal, and it was undeniably thrilling to know she wanted you, but you were both intoxicated by more than one another. This was not a pure desire-driven endeavour; you were drunk and while your feelings and want were very clear to you, you could not know of Larissa’s. Hell, only yesterday she had asked you to be her friend. You could very well be the available option.
When you felt her hand skirting dangerously up your thigh, you mentally kicked yourself and put your hand over hers.
You separated for just a fraction, looking her in the eyes. They were heavy-lidded and you could see more than just a simple adjustment to lighting on her wide pupils. It killed you to know what your next words were when she looked so incredible, still towering over you even when you were on her lap.
“Larissa…” you whispered, and she chased your lips, stealing a brief kiss before you had the strength to part again, “I know this is frustrating, and you might hate me or thank me tomorrow, but I’d prefer having the knowledge that you were completely clear minded before choosing to go down this route with me.”
“Why are you so concerned about me all the time, it should be me who’s saying this,” she sounded defeated, dumping her head on your shoulder for the second time that evening.
You brought your hands to her nape and started to gently scratch her scalp.
“You’re concerned with everyone around you all the time.” You smiled. “Only fair that someone does the same to you.”
Her arms circled your waist, and she buried her nose in your neck. You kissed the tip of her ear and nudged her up to face you again. You felt a satisfying surge of pride seeing her small affectionate smile, and had to kiss it one more time, just as affectionately.
Getting up and turning to lie on the bed, you pulled her with you so she would be the one on top. You went down kissing, smiling, and chuckling once when she pressed her thigh between your legs a little too much and made you groan.
“Tomorrow, we discuss it, ok?” you breathed in the now darkened room and felt Larissa nod against your chest.
“Good night, y/n,” she whispered.
“Good night, Larissa.”
You woke up alone the next morning. Sunlight was coming through the half-opened deep-red curtains, warming a line up your jaw and burning your ear. Larissa must have woken with it in her eyes.
You got up and dragged yourself to the bathroom. Larissa was probably downstairs, which shouldn’t bother you, but you thought you would talk first thing in the morning and the fact that she preferred being in Morticia’s company instead of waking you to accompany her was nauseating. Maybe she was sparing you the bother of putting up with the woman and you were just worrying unnecessarily.
Taking your time to get ready and dress, you left the bedroom almost forty minutes later.
Upon stepping into the main hall, you were surprised by the large front doors opening abruptly. Through them, a squealing Enid ran inside, dropping two travel bags by the stairs and returning just as quickly to hug an unimpressed Wednesday, walking calmly inside (though the slight quiver on the side of her mouth hinted at her true feelings).
“I can’t believe I’m finally here! Stop with the pout, Addams! Your brooding days are over, time to enjoy the holiday!”
Wednesday rolled her eyes in your direction, still in Enid’s arms, as if she could convince you she wasn’t happy her girlfriend had arrived. As if it wasn’t all she talked about at dinner last night on the rare occasions she bothered to make a comment.
“Professor!” you were next in the queue of hugs, and Enid’s joyful skips towards you managed to soothe the minor discomfort that Larissa’s absence had caused. “I’m so happy that you’re here,” she whispered timidly and quite adorably, “I didn’t talk with my parents yet. I’ll do it in person, but I wanted to thank you again for our talk.”
“Of course, dear,” you tightened your arms around her, “And I’ll be here no matter their reaction if you want to talk again, ok? We can go to the Weathervane or the park, whatever you’d like.”
You separated and she smiled sweetly at you. You knew it was young love, but you wished they’d work out because looking at them, you could think of no one else who would protect Enid as fiercely as Wednesday and not a single soul that would keep Wednesday in check as Enid did. They were such an adorable pair you almost felt jealous.
“Rissa?” Morticia’s voice sounded again, a bit louder, snapping Larissa out of her reverie.
“Yes?”
“If you’ve finished eating, I’ll summon Lurch to clear the table for you.” She gestured while seating in one of the garden chairs around said table.
“No, I’ll wait for y/n, thank you. I think she’d like to have breakfast in the garden,” she smiled, remembering your idea of what your first date would have been like. She didn’t know much about you from these last few days, but she was certain you’d appreciate the fresh air and Morticia’s deadly plants.
“You know, I don’t understand what you think you’re doing,” the woman replied, rushing through the words in an uncommon manner.
“Whatever do you mean, Morticia?”
“Oh, don’t roll your eyes at me! I can see clearly what’s happening here!” she sounded impatient, which wasn’t unheard of, but she rarely showed it to anyone; that’s how Larissa knew they were alone, she got used to that secret side of the woman twenty years ago.
Masking her discomfort with a long-since practised smile, Larissa tidied the spread while choosing her words.
“And what do you think that would be?”
Larissa heard a snort, “You’re being used! You always had a soft spot for the unremarkable and that is a very generous quality of yours. I admire it, truly, but it’s the third time around, amore, and this will end up badly.”
“What?! Careful with your lies, Morticia, they’re getting bigger and bigger, and someday they’ll lodge in your throat,” Larissa was shocked by her own reaction. She thought she’d mastered how to maintain the higher ground around Morticia, but clearly, she was mistaken; at least when it was about you, apparently. “Be honest, you can’t care less about how this will end. You didn’t care the first time, why would you now?”
At that, her old roommate stilled.
“I didn’t know about her, and you know it very well,” her tone was dangerously controlled, she was looking ahead with her jaw set and from time to time her eye twitched, “When I heard the news, Gomez didn’t even have to finish sparring, I just ran to the car.” With a deep breath, Morticia turned to face Larissa, eyes sparkling and nose flaring. “You are an intelligent woman, Larissa; we both know that. So, you must have noticed the recurrent theme of charming young ladies trying to use you for their own purposes.”
“Don’t forget to include yourself on the list,” Larissa’s tone was colder than she’d expected, but Morticia’s uncharacteristic avoidance of her gaze was an exquisite treat.
Without another word, the woman stood up and walked back through the path from where she came.
The previous night, you attributed the mansion’s imposing aura to the melting of its high towery roof against the darkening of the skies that created a strange sense of elongated walls. However, through the morning sunlit corridors, the high ceilings and medieval-like decorations didn’t alleviate you of the notion in any way. You could swear one of the rooms you passed through had an actual medieval torture device.
When you started walking down the rock path, Morticia appeared from around tall white oleander bushes, looking sour, and even though her sweet smiles had been mostly false until that moment, you preferred them. Whatever happened to her, you prayed you didn’t have to know.
Upon seeing, though, her face morphed back into “alluring menace mode��.
“Good morning, my dear. Did you sleep well?” she said in a slightly hoarser version of her baritone, coming right up to you and standing close.
“Yeah, you have very good beds,” you smirked, “they barely make a sound.”
The twitch of annoyance in the corner of her lip gave away her feelings, and her expression changed again in a matter of seconds, brows knitting together and downward lips.
“Oh, did something happen in the morning then?”
“What do you mean?” what was she talking about?
“I’ve just spoken with Rissa, and she seemed very pissy about something, could barely talk to her for a minute…” you knew you shouldn’t trust her concerned tone, the glint in her eye had amusement written all over it.
So, Larissa wasn’t in bed because she was angry? Or she regretted your actions last night and seeing the person whom she started this all for irritated her? If she hadn’t wanted to prove Morticia wrong, nothing would have happened. No cuddling on the sofa, no trips and highroad hugs, and definitely no kissing like mad until you fell asleep.
She placed her hand on your shoulder and murmured, “I’d say to approach carefully, you never know when she has a temper.” before parting with her usual saunter.
So much for hope, in the end. You could only be grateful for the chance at knowing what it could be like to be… you didn’t want to finish the thought, even that felt tainted by Larissa’s repentance.
Turning where Morticia came from, you saw a few meters ahead a beautiful black iron garden table with matching chairs. Larissa’s shoulders hung softly. She didn’t look tense from her back, more contemplating with her fingers absentmindedly tracing the rim of a teacup.
You approached slowly, and when you were in front of her, she didn’t look near throwing you the cup. Unsurprisingly, Morticia was fond of hyperboles.
“Before you say anything, I just wanted to say that I’m sorry. It was a mistake, it’s ok…” you felt your throat tight and breathed slowly in to control your emotions before continuing, “We were both drunk, and I’m happy we stopped because if not this conversation would have been a lot more awful than it already is to have. I won’t say a thing to anyone, and I won’t ask anything of you, as well, don’t worry. We can just pretend it never happened.”
Larissa’s confused expression didn’t last long. You could point out the moment she stopped being Larissa and became principal Weems in front of you. Her unguarded posture swiftly shifted to the picture of a professional stance, her face was neutral and her voice calculatedly suave.
“Of course. I’m glad that we cleared it out, I’d hate for it to be a source of miscomprehension between us,” she smiled, “Good thing that we both feel the same and can act as adults about it.”
You only nodded, too stunned to muster a response.
“Well,” she got up and gestured to the overstocked table between you, “I thought you’d enjoy breakfast in the garden. You did seem rather fond of picnics if I recall,” she ended with a breath. If you knew any better, you’d say she sounded wounded before she circled you walked away.
As soon as her towering figure was out of sight, which you knew because you watched her go without so much as blinking, you let all the air you’d been holding out, finishing with the mixture of a broken whimper and a sob. Now you knew, undeniably, that your feelings weren’t reciprocated. You felt so drained you couldn’t even cry; you simply fell into the closest chair and ignored the food by your side until someone came to get it.
When Morticia saw Larissa’s face coming from the garden, she concluded her little deception had worked.
More guests arrived in the afternoon. A lot of them very eccentric and intriguing. There was one particular guest you found very charming. Wednesday introduced him to you as Cousin Itt; apparently, he also attended Nevermore years back and was a consistent winner in debates.
“I and Pugsley facilitated his marriage years ago,” Wednesday said curiously by your side, a sinister smile indicating her rare amusement, “It was good fun to dispose of Cousin Margaret’s late husband.”
“Whatever do you mean by that?!”
She only smiled a bit more and stalked away to join Enid at the garden.
Larissa was missing for the greater part of the day. After lunch, which was stilted and awkward, only balanced by Enid and Gomez lively debating Wednesday’s adventures in the previous year, she left for who knows where and only appeared in your bedroom closely before the party was scheduled to start.
You knew you still were trying to deceive Morticia, and by her comment that morning she did seem to believe you were together, but now you didn’t know if Larissa wanted to continue with the plan; she looked so tired.
“Do you think we should talk about it?” you asked when she left the bathroom in one of the fluffy robes.
“Talk about what?” her tone was clipped.
You really wanted to maintain the illusion of being an adult, but it was so difficult with her displeased principal face. You felt like a child politely scolded for your bad behaviour. Your shoulders hurt and your chest ached; spending one afternoon away from her, not knowing what was going through her head was torture. You wondered how you’d survive the rest of the year now, if it would all fade away or if the dull aching would be a consistent reminder of all you wanted and could not have every time you walked by her or were called to her office.
It was Larissa who talked fist, prompting you out of your misery with an exasperated voice.
“Fine!” she snapped, “You want to talk about it? Let’s do that. Where do you want to start from? The part where I-“ she cut herself, looking at you with ill-concealed rage and… betrayal? What? “You know what? You start… this was your idea, to begin with,” she ended in a much quieter tone, rummaging through her belongings and producing a wine bottle before dropping into one of the armchairs by the unlit fireplace.
“You brought wine?!”
She was silent for a few moments before speaking, “I thought we could share it the first night, but you were already drunk and I was tired so I didn’t even remember it,” she sounded defeated, and the emotional rollercoaster of feelings this trip was putting you through was starting to exhaust you. You wanted just that. Simple things. Sharing wine and giggling about fooling her old roommate, being friends and not worrying about screwing everything up all the time.
“Can I have some?” you approached and seated in the chair in front of her.
“We don’t have glasses.”
“Do you really mind sharing a bottle? I mean, we did worse than that already…” you winced at the comment, but when she huffed and smiled you felt almost overwhelmed with relief and fondness.
She unscrewed the bottle and took a swing before passing it over. It occurred to you it wasn’t even the first time you drank from the same place. Last night you shared your last glass you whisky without even thinking about it.
You gulped down a healthy amount and were surprised by the sweet smoothness of it. It was the same you shared the first time you went to her office. She smiled again when your eyebrows shot up and you took another sip, savouring it this time and not just swallowing for the sake of liquid courage. You didn’t know quite what to say at the sweet gesture.
“How about we start with the reason you disappeared on me the entire day,” you prompted, gently, passing her the bottle.
She huffed a laugh again, but it was bitterer this time around. “I think you know why that was.”
“I really don’t,” you were speaking quietly, as if it was any louder something would shatter, “I can guess, but I’d prefer knowing. Not knowing things have already caused enough commotion between us, don’t you think?”
“Ha, I wonder how we’ll ever work together again after this,” she didn’t take the time to appreciate the drink, downing an amount that had her throat moving slowly to manage it.
“I think you should stop with that for now…” you took the bottle and set it on the floor. She did have a different system than you, but it was starting to feel like too much too soon.
“I don’t usually… I have been drinking much more than normal the last few days,” she confessed, her eyebrows kitting softly.
“It’s ok, I just think we’re always out of sorts before having honest conversations. The time in the car was the healthiest discussion we ever had, and it took us very high amounts of stress to even start talking.”
“You are correct, once again.”
“Again?”
“You said before that it was a mistake,” her voice was just above a whisper.
“And you agreed… with me.”
“Do you really believe that?” she huffed again, “You must know by now how I feel, you’re just too kind to tell me it is one-sided. Stop trying to protect my feelings, I’m more than a decade older than you.”
You were a bit oblivious sometimes, but you couldn’t misinterpret what she was saying, however, you could not believe it either.
“What do you mean, Larissa? Please don’t say things you don’t mean thinking it will make me feel better.”
She hid her face in her hands with a deep breath. Her hair was wet from the shower and even looking cosy and casual in her robe, all you could see in Larissa was tense exasperation.
“Who stopped us yesterday?” she murmured, dropping her hands, eyes almost boring holes in yours with her piercing determination, “Who came to me this morning offering me an out, implying we both made a mistake and not only me?”
“I thought you were…” you started saying, but she cut in.
“You thought I was what? Not interested after kissing myself molten in your arms? That I regretted while waiting for us to eat together in the garden? What did you think, y/n? Enlighten me because it really is a mystery to me what passes through your head.”
You were stunned into silence by her small outburst. She really was incomparable when her eyes lit up like that when the persona of masterly disguised feelings was put aside, and the real Larissa appeared.
“M-Morticia told me you were mad… in the garden before I met you,” you breathed, “I thought you snapped at her because she was the reason we’re doing this in the first place.”
At that, Larissa got up, you were still dazed to accompany her movements, but you felt her hands on your shoulders and suddenly she was kneeling in front of you.
“This is just a guess, but don’t you think Morticia would love nothing more than to ruin whatever it is we have since it’s exactly what she’s been trying to do since we got here?” you could very well drown on those resplendent blue eyes, clear as the Weddell Sea with emotion, “It would be laughable if we were actually together, let’s be honest, her methods are ‘petty teenager’ level, but I think we are so deep into our heads we’re falling for them just like a pair of teenaged fools.” Her hand came to caress your cheek, and you weren’t sure you were being played or if this was really happening, but you couldn’t think of any words, even less muster a sentence to agree with her, so you just had to pathetically wait for Larissa to fix everything by herself. She didn’t seem to mind so much, with a small smile and drawn eyebrows.
“Did you really regret it?” she whispered, looking almost vulnerable if it weren’t for her resolve to soothe your insecurities, “Or would you say something different if Morticia hadn’t found you before me?”
“You were all I could think about…” you covered her hand on your cheek, “I just wanted to be sure your feelings wouldn’t change…”
“They didn’t,” she said simply and leaned in to kiss you.

Dead Men x M/n - Angry kids (Part 5 of Dead Men meet M/n)
WARNING!: Blood x Gore, Violence, Serpine will die, a bit graphic, death, cursing AND MORE ! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!
The names are all pronounced this !: Keiran(M/n) – Keer- in or Keer-awn Laoise – Lah-weese Lorcan – Lor-ken
Part 5 – Angry kids
Stephanie was at China’s, worried sick for Skulduggery. Serpine ambushed them and took out the Detective, while he tried to kill her. China knew her name and used it against her, to keep her in the library. She should have called Keiran.
China was out right now and Stephanie broke down the door to her private room, snatching back her phone...if she could...reach out to Keiran ?
She activated her phone and dialed his number quickly. He picked up instantly.
“Keiran Fox.”
“Keiran, help, please. China knows my Given name and she is keeping me hostage in her Library. I called her in a panic. Skulduggery and I got ambushed in Grimwood, by Serpine and his paper pals. He captured Skulduggery too.”, she quickly informed.
It was dead silent on the other end.
“Lorcan...Laoise...get your weapons and magic ready. We are going to beat some Serpine ass and get the Mortal girl out of China’s clutches.”, Keiran said with a dark voice.
“On it !”, Lorcan yelled and Laoise was slightly to hear too.
“Sit tight, think of a name and we will pick you up ! Lorcan will tell the rest of the adults and we will get ready. We have to inform Meritorius and then get Skul as fast as possible !”
“What if he is already dead ?”, Stephanie asked worried.
“Serpine thinks Skulduggery has the key. As long as he doesn’t have it, he won’t kill him.”, Keiran assured.
After that they hung up and Stephanie found her name, ten minutes, before Keiran broke the doors down, to collect her. China wasn’t happy and tried to force Stephanie to stay. But she didn’t listen anymore.
“So you have taken a name. May I know who you are now ?”, she asked the girl.
“Valkyrie. Valkyrie Cain.”
“Fuck you, China Sorrows. If Uncle Skulduggery is dead, because of your ugly ass, I will personally set this place on fire and kill you.”, Keiran growled out darkly.
“Now, now. Don’t be so dramatic.”, she scolded.
“That man has a FAMILY, you BITCH !”, Keiran screamed at her and charged at her with a dagger.
China tried to use her sigils on Keiran, but noticed too late, that they don’t work on him. He cut into her arm and she hissed. He charged again and cut at her right eye, giving her a nice scar, she hissed again in pain. She tried her sigils again, but nothing worked.
“WHORE ! JEALOUS BITCH ! SELFISH BIMBO ! DISGUSTING MURDERER ! TRASH ! WALKING GARBAGE CAN !”, he screamed at her as he charged and charged at her again, giving her cuts.
Keiran stabbed her into her abdomen and she fell on the floor. She was far from dead though.
“KEIRAN ! STOP !”, Lorcan yelled.
Keiran froze in place and looked at Skulduggery’s Son.
“We don’t have time, for that backstabbing Bitch ! Father is more important !”, Lorcan yelled.
He looked at China again.
“Remember well who saved your pathetic life, Bitch. Next time, I won’t be so merciful.”, Keiran spat and left, sheathing his dagger again.
Valkyrie stared at Keiran in shock.
“I hate that traitorous whore so much. Why we let her live, will be a mystery to me...”, Keiran scoffed.
With that they left and hurried to Meritorius. As soon as he heard that Serpine was accused again, he denied it, refused to believe them.
“Listen to me RIGHT now, Meritorius !”, Keiran yelled at him, angered.
Meritorius stared at him.
“You do not talk to your elders like that-“
“I don’t give a flying FUCK what you want ! Skulduggery is MISSING, most possibly DEAD already and you expect ME to be CALM ?! YOU expect someone like SERPINE to keep a TRUCE, for the rest of his LIFE ?! I think your old age made you forget what a person Serpine is ! He is a fucking PSYCHO, STALKER, MURDERER, FACELESS GODS LOVER and PURE EVIL ! He stalked Skulduggery’s Family since the TRUCE started ! He killed behind your back ! He was about to KILL Valkyrie THREE times now, which mind you, YOU wanted to go back to her NORMAL life too ! That could have KILLED her ! He took Skulduggery now and it is HIS life on the line ! Sorry that I told you from the BEGINNING that a TRUCE WON’T cut it ! But now get your old ass up and GIVE ME PERMISSION TO KILL HIM AND GET MY UNCLE BACK ! HE HAS FAMILY FOR FUCKS SAKE !”, Keiran screamed at Meritorius pissed royally off.
Everyone stared at him. No speaking mistake and there was a very dangerous fire in his eyes. Meritorius knew better than to argue with him any further. He will have to give in.
“If you drag us into a war, Keiran, so help me the Ancients.”
“The war started a long time ago, again, already. Your old ass just refused to see it. We are in the MIDDLE of it and YOU still sit here and do nothing but sit in your own Dream World.”, Keiran scoffed.
Then he stormed off and waited for the help, he knew they needed.
The Dead Men, Lorcan, Laoise, Valkyrie and Meritorius looked at him in utter shock and respect. Keiran wasn’t messing around and when he is pissed off and worried sick about his Family, he will get violent. Both, physically and verbally.
After a few minutes two Cleavers arrived. Meritorius arrived with the rest and Keiran scoffed.
“Is that all you will give us ? Damn, you WANT us to die.”, he accused the Grand Mage.
“We have no more, that we can give you.”
“Sure and I am the Easter Bunny. Whatever. Get rid of Sagacious Tome. He is a spy for Serpine. I spotted him a few times enter an alleyway and Serpine left it minutes later. Don’t trust him, no matter what he says. Serpine wants the book of Names and he is looking for something that can kill you. If you die, the book is unprotected.”, Keiran explained annoyed.
They were all in shock, but didn’t question it. They soon enough met Tanith, Valkyrie stated that she met her once already and that she was nice, and so Keiran allowed her to tag along. After everyone, besides Anton and Meritorius, jumped into Ghastly’s Van, did Meritorius talk.
“Your Son really is violent.”, he told the Gist Master.
“I know...”
“But...he is only violent, when he is worried sick about one of you. Be careful with one another. He seems...protective and territorial of you all.”
“We will try our best.”
“Good. Now go rescue Skulduggery.”
Anton nodded and jumped into the Van and Ghastly sped off. It didn’t take them long to arrive there and Keiran wasted no time into getting out and getting ready for kill or be killed mode. Lorcan did the same and Laoise copied her Cousin and Brother.
Tanith sent the Cleavers to distract the Hollow Ones and then they ran for the wall. Hopeless, Ghastly, Lorcan, Laoise, Erskine and Keiran made it over the wall easily. Ghastly helped Anton and Saracen with a small boost of his Magic, while Keiran helped Larrikin over it and Lorcan helped Dexter Vex over the wall. Tanith helped Valkyrie over the wall.
Together they ran into the castle of Serpine’s and started a wild search in a Team of two. Lorcan and Keiran found Skulduggery and he looked in bad shape. That, made Lorcan, go into rage mode.
“Oh, hello you two.”, Skulduggery greeted them weakly.
“What the fuck did that Bastard do to you ?”, Keiran growled out.
“Oh, just some torture with his red hand.”, he chuckled out weakly.
Lorcan and Keiran saw red at that. The others all came rushing in and Ghastly tried to crack open the handcuffs. After that was done, Saracen and Hopeless helped Skulduggery to get up and walk.
The rest of the Team tried to keep the way free, only to realize way too late that three members were missing, after they fled. Laoise, Lorcan and Keiran.
“Wait...where are Lorcan, Laoise and Keiran ?!”, Anton asked in panic, after they were in the Van.
“Shit !”, Ghastly cursed.
“We have to go back.”, Skulduggery said weakly.
“YOU need medical attention ! This is serious and urgent !”, Hopeless scolded.
“The kids !”, Skulduggery protested.
“They know what they are doing. We have to get you to Kenspeckle.”
“They are going after Serpine.”, Valkyrie whispered.
Everyone was silent.
“What ?”, Dexter asked in shock.
“Didn’t you see the murderous glares Keiran and Lorcan had ? They probably told Laoise, because she had the same murderous look later on. They are going after Serpine, to make him pay for what he did to Skulduggery.”, she explained.
“Fuck. We have to go back !”, Saracen yelled.
“If we go back now, Skulduggery will die.”, Larrikin argued back.
“Let’s hope these three are careful. We have to get Skul into medical care and that fast.”, Ghastly said worried.
Anton sat in the car, worried sick for his Son, Nephew and Niece. They were all worried, but Anton was the most worried with Skulduggery. Their children’s lives were on the line.
-With Keiran, Lorcan and Laoise-
They followed Serpine, ready to kill instantly. They had the perfect torture session planned out for Nefarian Serpine. One that he will beg to be over fast.
As soon as Serpine was alone inside a room, Lorcan locked it and Keiran knocked him out cold. Then they dragged Nefarian away from populated areas and into a deep forest. All they did was set up some cameras and then waited for the Bastard to wake up.
-With the Dead Men-
They reached the Cinema and rushed Skulduggery inside.
“Kenspeckle ?! Kenspeckle we need your help, urgently !”, Ghastly called as soon as they were in the soundproof hideout of the Professor’s.
Kenspeckle arrived after a few seconds, with his two assistants, Stentor and Civet. The older man’s eyes widened as he saw Skulduggery.
“What in the ever loving hell happened to him ?”, the Professor asked.
“Serpine.”, Saracen answered.
Kenspeckle’s face turned grim and he instantly led them to an operation room.
“Put him on the bed and then leave. This is urgent.”, he told the Dead Men.
Valkyrie was scared for Skulduggery. What if he won’t make it ? The left the room quickly and stayed seated in the waiting room.
“Shouldn’t we search Lorcan, Laoise and Keiran ?”, Valkyrie asked worried.
“We don’t know where they are right now. It would be like hunting a needle in hay.”, Dexter replied softly.
Anton just sat there, eyes unfocused. He was worried sick.
Ghastly put a hand on the Hotelier’s shoulder, which made him snap out of his thoughts.
“Don’t worry, Anton. I bet they are okay.”, the tailor told him with a soft smile.
“I hope so...”, Anton replied.
Hopeless, Larrikin, Saracen and Valkyrie had a grim face. They hoped so too, for Anton’s and Skulduggery’s sanity’s sake.
-With the kids-
Serpine woke up finally. The children already had sinister grins on their faces and Laoise started the cameras.
“W-what happened...?”, Serpine groaned and rubbed his head.
They agreed that Lorcan can break Serpine’s bones, Laoise can stab him anywhere she wanted and Keiran will cut off the hand.
“Well, well, well~ Awake at last, aren’t we~?”, Keiran purred darkly.
Serpine stiffened up, eyes wide in horror.
He quickly turned around, right hand stretched out to instantly kill, but Keiran saw that coming and grabbed the outstretched arm, then pressed it to the floor, making Serpine hiss in pain.
Before Nefarian could make Keiran let go of his hand, by causing him pain, he screamed in agony already. Keiran’s dagger came crashing down and made quick work of cutting through the bone of Serpine’s red hand, severing it from his body.
Keiran smirked darkly at Serpine, who looked at him with tears in his eyes.
“You disgusting piece of trash, hurt and tormented my Family for long enough. It’s time to end it, don’t you think ? I told you, you lay your hands on my Family, you will regret your existence.”, Keiran said darkly.
Then he got up and picked up the cut off red hand. Just then did Serpine see Lorcan and Laoise, Skulduggery’s children. They didn’t look very happy.
“Oh, we will have fun, won’t we, Serpine~?”, Lorcan asked darkly, a dark promising smile on his face.
Laoise giggled darkly and gave Serpine also a dark, promising look.
“N-now, now ! We can talk about this, kids !”, Serpine tried to convince.
“Yeah, no. You bothered us for way too long. You broke the truce. You HURT my Father. You tried to kill us. You tried to kill Keiran and now you want to TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING ?! Fuck you, Nefarian Serpine.”, Lorcan snarled.
With that Lorcan lifted the sledge hammer and let it slam onto Serpine’s right leg, making a satisfying loud cracking sound. Serpine screamed in pain, while Lorcan continued to break his bones to pieces.
“When we are done with you, you wish you were never born.”, Keiran promised Nefarian darkly.
Serpine was scared. He never saw them this pissed off, nor did he ever had to feel this threatened before. He didn’t want to die...
-With the Dead Men-
Kenspeckle came out of the room and everyone looked at him. The older man sighed.
“He will be fine soon. Give him a few hours and he can leave. He had a few cracked bones and open wounds on his torso.”, Kenspeckle informed.
“Oh thank the Ancients ! He will be fine.”, Larrikin said in relief.
“If you would have came two seconds later, one of his ribs could have broken apart and stabbed him in the heart, so good instincts to bring him to me.”
Everyone grew pale at that information.
“Holy shit...”, Ghastly muttered.
Kenspeckle looked around and then was confused.
“Where are the kids ? Usually they are always with you.”, the Professor asked.
“They went after Serpine without our knowledge. But we had to choose. Either Skulduggery or them. They can handle themselves and we would have searched for them, if we knew where they are.”, Dexter explained.
Kenspeckle stared at them then sighed and muttered under his breath.
“I hope for you all, that you won’t regret your choice.”
With that he left them alone.
-With the trio-
Serpine just took his last breath and the three kids pouted.
“Oh, our toy is already broken...”, Lorcan pouted.
“Such a shame.”, Keiran said as he looked at the bleeding messy pile, that used to be Serpine.
“What do we do with the body ?”, Laoise asked.
“Burn it. We give Uncle Skulduggery the hand as present. I bet he wants to burn it himself.”, Keiran answered.
Lorcan turned off the cameras and brought them to Keiran.
“What about the recordings ?”, he asked his Cousin.
“I am making a quick Movie out of it. A great memory for life. We killed a bastard that hurt Family. A warning for future foes too.”
“I like your idea.”
“You always do.”
With that Keiran took the Cameras and started to make a small movie out of it, while Lorcan and Laoise collected wood, to burn the body.
-Time skip with the Dead Men-
Ghastly was pacing around, just like Anton. Anton paced because his worries got to him, about his Son. Ghastly paced because of Skulduggery’s kids, Keiran and impatience. He wanted to see his friend.
Soon enough Kenspeckle came out of Skulduggery’s room and looked at them.
“You can go in now. He is responsive and well rested.”
Instantly they all rushed inside and saw Skulduggery sitting up in his bed, slightly hunched over, but he was sitting. He looked at his friends and Valkyrie and waved, with a smile. It looked stronger and more healthy, than the last one he gave them.
“Hello you all.”, he joked.
Ghastly shook his head and hugged Skulduggery.
“Idiot. How are you feeling ?”, the tailor asked.
Skulduggery hugged him back and huffed out a small laugh.
“I am doing just fine. A bit healing still, but I am feeling ready to beat some ass again.”
“The kids are still not back yet, Skulduggery.”, Anton informed the man, worried sick.
Skulduggery looked at Anton and frowned, worried too.
“Let’s hope they are fine. As much as I would love to chase them down now, I can’t. I am still recovering. Serpine did more damage, than I thought.”, the Detective replied.
Suddenly the doors swung open and everyone looked in the direction of the swung open doors. Their eyes widened as they spotted Lorcan, Laoise and Keiran, covered in blood, but they looked smug and satisfied with themselves.
“Kids ! Are you alright ?!”, Dexter asked in worry.
“We are just fine, Uncle Dex !”, Lorcan replied, energetic and smug.
Keiran and Laoise nodded, big grins on their faces. The Dead Men, Tanith and Valkyrie grew concerned.
“What did you do ?! Why are you covered in blood ?!”, Anton yelled in worry.
“It isn’t ours, Papa.”, Keiran replied still smug.
“Then...whose is it ?”, Ghastly asked.
“Serpine’s.”, the three replied happily.
The Dead Men and two girls stared at the trio in shock.
“WHAT ?!”, they all screamed in shock at the kids, who were still smug.

Can we get some Rykard x Tanith x reader up in here please? ♥️ NSFW welcome if you're cool with it. (pre-serpent rykard pls 😭)
𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐲 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐳𝐚, 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 - 𝐑𝐲𝐤𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐱 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐱 𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐡 (𝐍/𝐒𝐅𝐖)
Tumblr media
"TOGETHAAAA...!"
Rykard and Tanith were the ones to approach you after the tension became too much.
Rykard was the one who put a name to it, this... thing that was going on between you three. Careful planning went into the when, where, and how they'd approach you.
To your surprise, despite the man's public persona, he's actually quite congenial behind closed doors. The same goes for Tanith, albeit she is much more inclined to speak what's truly her mind in the comfort of your bedroom. You've laughed more times than you can count because of her.
In the bedroom, they are FAR from dull. From an outsider's point of view, it would be easy to perceive Rykard and Tanith as being rather boring and stilted people (you later find out this is intentional) but when it comes to the carnal arts, well...
Rykard and Tanith love to indulge your senses, though Rykard himself enjoys indulging his senses just as much. And by the Golden Order does he enjoy being captivated by you both.
Rykard loves to watch you and Tanith, loves to watch the sensual way she moves her body, the way she explores every part of your body.
Tanith greatly enjoys the way you shudder every time Rykard teases you, running slender fingers along your skin, the cool metal of his rings leaving goosebumps in their wake.
And kissing? Rykard's passion is most seen through his kisses. They are firm, they leave you breathless. Tanith is the teaser, feathery light, tongue tracing your lips.
Rykard who's pressed against you from behind, sheathed to the hilt inside you, the deep raspiness of his voice gently guiding you as your fingers bring Tanith to climax. Rykard bends you over and rewards you; he fucks you mercilessly and you give it just as good to Tanith. Your head is buried between her thighs and soon you all are a hot, sweaty, overstimulated mess. And you love it.
Pristine nature be damned, Rykard holds you two close to him as you bask in the post-coital afterglow; he revels in the post-orgasmic shudders as you three come down from your high, as you and Tanith continue to die 1000 deaths.
And to say you're incredibly satisfied with your lovers would be the BIGGEST understatement ever uttered in the Lands Between.

Laugh Like Me Again
Pairing: Billy Washington (Trigger Point) x f!reader Warnings: Angst, smut. Word count: ~7k
Summary: Billy accidentally strikes up a friendship with the girl that's just moved into the flat next door, but when faced repeatedly with the baggage of their pasts they struggle to take it any further than "just friends".
Author's note: A (belated) birthday gift for @targaryenrealnessdarling. No tag list. Follow @fics-by-ewanmitchellcrumbs and turn on post notifications.
It was a quiet Saturday afternoon. Billy sat on the sofa in the living room of his flat with the curtains closed, blocking out the midday winter sun. He’d not long gotten out of bed, barely lucid as an episode of Come Dine With Me played away to itself in the background. He stared at the TV screen, but wasn’t actually taking anything in, it may as well have stayed switched off.
A loud crash against his front door, followed by several soft thuds upon the floor outside of it, startled him out of his torpid state, the sudden noise causing him to jump slightly. Billy didn’t cope well with unexpected loudness anymore, he hadn’t for six months, not since he’d watched his car explode into a fiery wreck on Cranstead Fields. He grasped the arm of the sofa tightly, eyes wide and breathing accelerated as he looked towards the door, his heart pounding so hard in his chest he worried it might burst out of it.
It wasn’t until he heard the muffled voice of a woman swearing on the other side of the door that he finally relaxed, fear giving way to curiosity, as he rose slowly from his seat and walked towards the front door, opening it with trepidation.
There, upon the carpeted floor, knelt a young woman, a collapsed cardboard box discarded to the side of her, as she scrambled to pick up books that were strewn across the communal hallway floor.
“You alright?” he asked tentatively, watching as she huffed, attempting to gather the books into a tidy pile.
“Give me a hand, would you?” she asked distractedly, not looking up at him. “Fucking box was too heavy and the bottom gave way.”
He hesitated a moment, taken aback by her request. Nobody ever asked Billy for help, nobody ever asked him for anything really, he wasn’t usually a person that anyone felt they could depend upon, yet here was a complete stranger trusting him to come to her aid.
Finally, he stooped down, picking up as many books as he could manage to carry. His eyes skimmed the covers, taking in the authors’ names; Stephen King, Terry Pratchett, Tanith Lee – he’d read none of them. He had never been much of a reader though; the last book he had touched had been Of Mice and Men for GCSE English. Billy hadn’t understood it, and the F grade he’d gotten had reflected that.
He adjusted the heavy load in his arms, standing awkwardly, as she finally righted herself, the remainder of her books cradled against her chest.
Fuck, she’s gorgeous.
“So, erm, where we taking these then?” he asked.
“Just next door,” she replied, glancing over her shoulder at him as she walked the short distance to the front door next to his. “We’re gonna be neighbours.”
Billy followed close behind. The flat next to his had sat empty for months. It had been nice not to have to worry about the odd hours he kept, or how loud he had his TV.
Oh god, had she been able to hear him watching trash telly through the wall?
Her front door had been left on the latch, and he watched as she gently nudged it open with her foot and began to place the books in her arms down upon the floor, off to the side of the doorway. Once her arms were empty, she gestured for him to pass her the ones that he was holding and then did the same with those.
“D’you want help shifting anything else?” he asked, stuffing his hands into the pockets of his grey jogging bottoms once he’d passed her the last of the books.
She straightened, turning to face him as she wiped her hands on her blue jeans. She really was stunning. Her hair was pulled away from her face in a high ponytail, leaving her features open and unobscured, and despite the casualness of her oversized jumper and jeans, she carried herself with a self assuredness that, to Billy, made it seem like the sexiest outfit in the world. He was immediately self conscious of his own scruffiness at that moment. He hadn’t looked in a mirror since waking up, but he knew he needed a shower and a shave. A giant stain from last night’s Pot Noodle emblazoned the chest of his black t-shirt, the very same t-shirt that he’d worn all day yesterday and then slept in. It was suddenly difficult to look her in the eye.
“That was the last of the boxes from that carload, actually,,” she said with a soft smile. “I can only fit so much in my shitty Fiat Panda, so having to make a fair few trips. Thank you for helping me though, and sorry for chucking books at your front door.”
Billy huffed softly through his nose, the corners of his mouth tugging upwards as he rubbed nervously at the back of his neck. “Don’t mention it.”
She pulled the door closed and locked it. “Well, it was nice to meet you,” she smiled, giving him her name, “and what should I call you?”
“I’m Billy,” he told her, his tone almost apologetic.
“Well, see you around, Billy.”
He watched her retreat down the hallway, until she disappeared through the door to the stairwell. He really hoped he would see her again, if anything just so he could prove to her that he was capable of not looking like an absolute slob.
Billy headed straight for the bathroom once he was back inside his own flat, not emerging until he’d showered, washed his hair, brushed his teeth, shaved and changed into clean clothes. It all felt like an effort, everything did these days. Piecing his life back together in the months that had followed his car being blown up had been difficult. It had been hard to come to terms with the idea that he had been radicalised by a terrorist group, impossible to make peace with the fact that he’d survived the explosion designed to kill him. His older sister, Lana, had nagged at him to go to therapy, to work through the trauma of what had happened, but therapy was expensive and he needed to keep a roof over his head, especially since Becky had split up with him and moved back to her mum’s. He had managed to get a job behind the bar of a local pub – the hours were shit and the pay wasn’t much better, but it made him feel useful, especially when it came to the manual aspects such as changing barrels and taking deliveries of crates of mixers and spirits. Each shift left him too exhausted to think about all he’d been through. He was existing, not really living, but that suited Billy just fine.
As the sky outside darkened into the purgatory that exists between late afternoon and early evening, his stomach began to rumble and he realised he hadn’t eaten yet today. Pulling open the fridge, Billy sighed at the bare shelves within. A half used bottle of ketchup lay on its side, a red puddle of sauce gathering beneath its lid, while the dregs of a carton of milk that was already two days past its use by date occupied the space in the door.
Fuck’s sake, he muttered to himself, stepping into his trainers and pulling on his coat, preparing for a trip out into the cold to buy groceries. A soft knock caused him to pause as he was zipping up his coat, and he tugged the door open, eyebrows raising slightly in surprise at the sight of his neighbour standing on the other side. He hadn’t anticipated seeing her again so soon, but he was glad he was in a better state than he was on their first encounter.
“Sorry, me again,” she said, raising her hand in a slight wave. “You’re probably sick of me asking for help, but I’ve unpacked my kettle and was gonna make a brew, but realised I’ve not got any milk. Don’t suppose you could lend me some?”
Billy couldn’t help but grin as he looked down at her, clearly amused by her question. “I thought people only did that in films,” he admitted. “I was actually just on my way out to buy some, if you wanna come? I can show you where the Tesco Express is.”
“Yeah, that’d be nice, actually,” she said, her face lighting up as she smiled brightly, “let me just grab my jacket.”
It was bitterly cold as they walked, the frigid air nippled relentlessly at Billy’s fingers, causing him to put his hands in his coat pockets to keep them warm. The street lamps were starting to come on as the sky turned a blue so dark it was almost black, and the continuous shine of the headlights of passing cars, coupled with the hum of their engines felt almost oppressive. He looked to her, seeking distraction. Billy worried that she might be cold; she’d only put on a leather jacket over the top of her jumper, though she had paired it with a massive, woolen scarf that she kept her face buried in up to her nose. 
“You all moved in now then?” he asked.
“Yeah, all my stuff’s in the flat now,” she replied, lifting her face from her scarf to look up at him, “just need to unpack it.”
Billy nodded, rounding a corner to the street that would lead them to the nearest Tesco. “So, what brings you to this neck of the woods then?”
“Had to leave my last place pretty sharpish,” she told him, “needed somewhere that was furnished and available straight away. This was the closest available to where I work.”
Her eye contact was avoidant as she explained this, seeming to retreat into herself. They were almost at the Tesco anyway, and Billy didn’t want to push a topic she was clearly uncomfortable talking about, so they walked the rest of the way in silence.
Billy grabbed milk, chocolate covered digestives and a couple of frozen pizzas, while she did a larger shop of essentials she didn’t have at her flat. As he watched her scan bread, eggs, milk and fresh fruit and vegetables through the self checkout, he couldn’t help but feel embarrassed by the junk food within his own basket. She had done a proper grown up’s shop, his own was the furthest thing from that.
“Let me make you a cuppa, to say thanks for everything today,” she offered as they stepped back into the warmth of their block of flats.
“Alright, sounds good,” Billy nodded, following her through her door.
Her living room was a sea of cardboard boxes, with barely any room to stand, let alone to sit down to drink tea.
“I know the cups are in here somewhere,” she said, setting down her shopping bags and beginning to open a box marked ‘KITCHEN’,
“Tell you what,” Billy suggested, “let’s go to mine for a tea. You can owe me one once you’re unpacked.”
Her eyes softened in gratitude as she looked up from the box at him, and it made warmth spread through his chest that rose all the way to his cheeks. He had to look away for fear she’d notice.
“That would be lovely. Thank you, Billy.”
He regretted his offer almost as soon as they stepped into his flat. Billy had never been tidy, if he hadn’t realised it himself, then the countless times that Lana had visited and nagged at him for it had certainly driven the message home.
You know, you can tidy up, Billy.
You’re allowed to open the curtains.
When was the last time you washed up?
It was easy to ignore when it was his own sister's passing comments, however, with a pretty girl by his side, it was as though he was looking at his living space through a fresh set of eyes, and he hated what he saw.
“Sorry…” he muttered, shame settling over him like a weighted blanket as he looked at the array of empty beer cans and crisp packets that were strewn across the coffee table.
She huffed an easy laugh as she followed him through to the kitchen. “Honestly, it’s fine. It’s not like you were expecting company, and you shouldn’t feel the need to apologise for how you keep your own space.”
He turned to stare at her, his brow furrowed in confusion at her lack of disgust. There was sincerity in her eyes, she wasn’t just being nice, she meant it. Her reaction eased his embarrassment somewhat, until he opened the cupboard to find he had no clean mugs.
“D’you live alone then?” she asked as he flicked on the kettle.
“Was it that obvious?” he replied with a grin, fishing two mugs out of the full sink. He busied himself with rinsing them out, while she leaned her back against the kitchen side, watching him.
She laughed at his response, and he couldn’t help but smile to himself as he scraped off the plate of used tea bags into the almost overflowing bin. It had been a long time since there had been laughter in his flat.
“So, what do you do for work then?” he asked, once they’d settled on the sofa with their teas. Billy had discarded his dirty washing to make space for her to sit next to him, and cleared the table so they could set down their mugs, alongside the packet of chocolate digestives he’d bought.
“I’m the social media manager for a publishing company,” she told him, before helping herself to a biscuit from the open packet and taking a bite.
Billy didn’t think he’d ever heard anything so daft in his entire life. He took a swig of his tea in an attempt to hide the way his features twisted in disdain. “So…er…do you just sit on Facebook all day then?”
She covered her lips with her hand as she giggled around a mouthful of biscuit. “That’s a bit of an oversimplification,” she said once she’d swallowed, “there’s a lot more to it than that.”
“Yeah, I s’pose there’s Twitter and Instagram too,” he said with a playful cock of his eyebrow.
“Oh, fuck off!” she grinned, swatting playfully at his leg.
Billy adored how easy he found being in her company, he had anticipated them not having much in common when he’d helped her to pick up her books earlier, but was now finding he hadn’t been this relaxed around anyone in a long time.
“So, what do you do then?”
The question made him tense, all sense of relaxation leaving his body as the familiar feeling of shame found its home within his body once more. His gaze drifted down to the mug that he held cradled in his hands as he spoke, feeling the need to justify his answer, and terrified she’d judge him for it. “I…erm…I work at The Joiners. It’s a pub not too far from here. It’s just temporary though, until I find something else.”
“What would you rather be doing?” she asked, before sipping her tea.
Billy blinked, stunned by the genuine interest in her tone. He was used to ‘you aren’t trying hard enough, Billy’ or ‘there’s always an excuse not to’. No one had ever bothered to take the time to ask him what he actually wanted.
“I dunno,” he admitted, lifting his eyes to meet hers, “I applied to join the army a couple of times, and kept getting rejected. Not sure what else I could do, I just wanna feel useful y’know? Work with my hands.”
She nodded in understanding, shifting to sit cross legged on the sofa as she faced him fully. “So, like manual labour?”
“Yeah, I s’pose. Bricklaying or something, would be cool to have a trade.”
“Then why don’t you?”
He sighed, leaning forward to put his half empty mug on the coffee table, before settling back against the sofa cushions. “Not that simple, is it? I’ve got no experience, I can’t just rock up to a building site and ask for a job.”
“No, but you can train,” she said, leaning towards him, her eyes lit up with enthusiasm, “there are vocational colleges that have two year courses for that sort of thing, and it would fit in perfectly around your bar work.”
“I wouldn’t know where to start,” he admitted, raking a hand through his hair.
“Well, that’s why it’s good you’ve now got a friend that sits on Facebook all day for a living,” she said with a playful wink, “because I do. Let me help you.”
Let me help you.
The simplicity of those four little words made Billy’s heart soar, the warmth of his smile lit up his entire face as he nodded at her. “Alright then.”
“Good,” she smiled softly, before gesturing towards his Playstation. “Got any two player games?”
She had utterly destroyed him at several rounds of Street Fighter, before all too quickly they had to call it a night. Billy went to bed happier than he’d felt in ages, never more grateful for someone having chucked books at his front door by accident.
When he woke the next morning, he was surprised when he looked at his phone to see that it was before midday – 9am, to be exact. Billy never got up that early, yet he found himself slipping out of bed with ease and, for the first time since Becky had left, he opened the curtains.
Letting light into the flat felt like opening up a new chapter of his life, but also it highlighted just how much of a shit state he’d allowed the place to get into. He busied himself that morning, clearing rubbish off of every surface, washing up, wiping down the sides, emptying the bin, and filling the washing machine with dirty laundry. He even hoovered the floors and cleaned the bathroom – neither one a job he had undertaken since moving in. It filled him with pride to think that the next time his new friend visited, she’d see his place clean and tidy.
By the time Billy finished cleaning the flat, it was almost time for him to leave for his afternoon shift at The Joiners. As he stepped out of his flat, he noticed a luminous pink post-it note stuck to his door.
‘IOU one cup of tea’ it read, with a smiley face next to it and the link to a vocational college’s bricklaying course scribbled beneath it. Billy smiled to himself, plucking it from the door and stuffing it into his pocket, before making his way to work.
A few days went by and Billy didn’t see or hear anything more from her. While he wondered about her, he figured it wouldn’t be unusual for them not to cross paths – they kept completely different hours – she worked a Monday to Friday nine to five, while he worked a combination of late afternoon and evening shifts at the pub.
It was a late afternoon shift he was returning from that evening when he heard raised voices coming from her flat. They were muffled from behind the door, but he could hear the distinctive anger of a deep male voice, and her softer one in response. She sounded upset.
Billy paused, his key lifted halfway to the lock, as her front door flew open.
“Just get out!” she sobbed, “I don’t want you here!”
She shoved desperately at a man that was slightly shorter than he was, but of a much sturdier build. He moved clumsily out of her flat, righting himself against the wall as he stared her down with fury in his eyes. “You can’t leave me,” he seethed, “who else would want you? You’re damaged goods!”
Billy’s anger flared as he heard that. That stupid cunt had no idea what he was talking about, and certainly had no right to say that to her. He shoved his keys back into the pocket of his jeans, and stalked over to where the bloke stood against the wall.
“Don’t speak to her like that,” he glowered, staring intensely at the man before him.
“Billy, don’t–”
“Who’s this then?” the guy scoffed in amusement, cutting her off. His gaze moved between her and Billy. “You moved on already? You lying bitch!”
“I said, don’t speak to her like that!” Billy snarled, grabbing him by his jacket.
“Liam, no!”
Her shout of protest came too late. The impact of the fist against Billy’s face whipped his head to the side, the inertia knocking him off his feet as he landed heavily on the carpet with a shocked expulsion of air.
Liam stepped over Billy, walking away towards the stairwell, leaving him to cradle the side of his face as he lay on the floor, a dull pulse of pain throbbing against his cheekbone and spreading out across his eye socket.
“Oh god, Billy, I’m so sorry,” she cried, kneeling beside him and placing a gentle hand on his shoulder, “are you okay?”
A few minutes later, he sat in an armchair in her flat, with a bag of frozen peas clutched against the side of his face. The eye that wasn’t obscured by the makeshift medical aid took in her living room. She’d unpacked. The shelves were filled with books, the sofa adorned with colourful throw blankets and cushions, and she’d placed plants and candles on almost every surface. It was cozy, it felt like a home.
“Thought you might want something a bit stronger than tea,” she said, appearing from the kitchen with two open bottles of beer in her hands. She handed one to Billy, before moving to sit on the end of the sofa that was nearest the armchair that he currently occupied.
“Thanks,” Billy said, offering her a tight smile, “for the beer, and the peas.”
Her brows arched in concern, her eyes still red rimmed from crying as she looked at him. “I really am sorry. You didn’t deserve that.”
“Not you that needs to apologise,” he told her, pulling the peas away from his face as he took a swig of his beer. “Who was that prick anyway?”
She sighed, her eyes downcast as her thumbs picked anxiously at the Birra Moretti label on her bottle. “My ex, Liam. We didn’t exactly part on good terms.”
“Yeah, no shit,” Billy huffed in mild amusement, placing the bag of peas on the table in front of him.
“You’re gonna have a bruise,” she said, her tone apologetic.
“I’ve had worse,” he replied with a shrug, “are you alright?”
“I will be…” - she drank deeply from her beer - “was stupid of me to tell him he could come round anyway. He said he was gonna drop off a few things I’d left behind and I was gullible enough to think it wouldn’t end in an argument.”
Billy longed to comfort her. He’d only known her a week though, and they’d only hung out once, he wasn’t sure how she’d take it if he just pulled her into a hug. His heart ached for her, yet at the same time his own selfish jealousy flared within him, wanting to know precisely what had led to their split, to know if Liam was still a part of her life.
“So, what happened between you two…if you don’t mind me asking?”
“Caught him in bed with someone else,” she sniffed, wiping at her eyes with the back of her hand, “Liam had always had a bit of a wandering eye, but I never thought it would amount to anything serious. It did, so I found this place and moved out as quickly as I could. As you saw, he’s not enjoying dealing with the consequences of his own actions.”
“You think he’ll come back?”
“I dunno,” she shrugged, “I wouldn’t put it past him.”
Billy furrowed his brow, growing pensive for a moment, before an idea occurred to him. “Give me your phone,” he said, holding his hand out.
“What? Why?”
“I’m gonna put my number in it. If he comes back, I want you to ring me okay?”
“So he can deck you again?”
Billy rolled his eyes. “He caught me by surprise, is all. I’ll be ready next time.”
He knew he was lying. Billy had never been a fighter, physical strength just wasn’t a skill he possessed, it was part of the reason the army had rejected him twice. Still, as he entered his number into the contacts of her phone, he knew he’d feel better just knowing he could be there for her.
She never texted him, though over the next couple of weeks they spent every evening that Billy wasn’t working together. At his place, they played Street Fighter and he imposed a rule that she wasn’t allowed to choose Chun Li as her character, as her knowledge of her special moves put her at an unfair advantage. When they were at hers, she read aloud to him from a copy of The Shining by Stephen King – a chapter for each visit. Billy had never enjoyed books, until now; the story was engaging, and not just because of Jack Torrence’s slow descent into madness. Her voice made every word more captivating and he found himself disappointed when each part drew to a close.
He was coming towards the end of an afternoon shift when his phone vibrated in his pocket – a text from an unknown number.
‘Hi stranger. Got a surprise for you back at the flat xxx’
His heart skipped a beat, his pulse racing as he realised it was from her. She’d never text him before, which is why her number wasn’t saved. He wondered what she could possibly have in store for him, and the rest of the afternoon felt as though time had ground to a halt as he waited impatiently to go home.
He frowned as he heard music playing softly from his flat as he arrived back – how had she gotten in? She didn’t have a key.
Opening the door, the music grew louder – some 90s R&B song that he didn’t know that name of, and there were lit candles on the coffee table in the living room.
“H–hello?” he called out, struggling to keep the anxious tremor from his voice.
“In here,” a voice replied from the bedroom.
He froze at the sound of it. He knew that voice. It filled him with a sense of dread, and for a moment, he considered simply turning and leaving.
Slowly, he made his way to the bedroom, pausing in the doorway. The sight within formed a pit in his stomach. His ex, Becky, lay provocatively on her side, her curves encased in lacy black lingerie, as she looked at him with a sultry smile upon her lips. Six months ago, he’d have been a goner for the display before him, now it made bile rise in his throat.
“Hiya, gorgeous,” she cooed, “I’ve missed you.”
His lips set into a hard line as he looked away, annoyance in his tone. “Becky, what the fuck are you playing at? How did you even get in?”
“I wanted to see you,” she said, pouting as she slipped off the bed to move towards him, “and I’ve still got my key.”
Realisation set in – the text had been from her. On the advice of Lana, he had deleted Becky’s number when they’d split for good, a means of avoiding the temptation to reach out to her. It had helped a lot in the process of getting over her. But it was now apparent that she had kept his.
He backed away from her as she reached for him, his face hardened in an expression of disgust and anger as he clenched his fists at his sides. His nostrils flared as he battled to keep his voice from raising. “Well, you can give your fucking key back when you leave. I don’t want you here.”
“You can’t be serious?” she scoffed, “You are rejecting me?”
He stared at her, unable to believe that this was a person who he had once mourned the loss of – he felt nothing but irritation seeing her now, a desperate need to be rid of her. “I am, yeah. You bailed when things fell apart. I don’t need you hanging around like a bad smell now that they’re finally piecing back together. Get out.”
“You’ll regret this, Billy,” she said angrily, her movements erratic and hurried as she snatched her tan coloured trench coat from the floor and belted it around herself, “you won’t do better than me.”
“I think I already have. Keys,” he demanded, holding his hand out.
She pulled them hastily from her pocket, chucking them towards him, before barging past him and out of the flat. Billy followed, watching her leave. She paused once in the hallway, looking to her right and smiling, before turning her attention back to him.
“Bye then, Billy,” she said, her tone saccharinely sweet. She blew him a kiss and then sauntered away.
His brow furrowed in confusion at the sudden change in her behaviour, until he looked to the left and saw his neighbour standing in the hallway, her copy of The Shining clutched to her chest. Her eyes were wide, a look of shock upon her face, though Billy was certain he could also see something akin to hurt reflected in their depths.
“Oh,” was all she uttered, before hurrying back inside and slamming her door behind her.
No. No. No. No. No.
“Fuck!��� he cursed under his breath, slamming his hand against the doorframe in frustration.
Billy’s heart felt as though it was dropping endlessly through his body. Every part of him screamed at him to go after her, to explain to her what had happened, to reassure that what they had was – what?
The more he thought about it, the more he realised he didn’t quite know what was occurring between them. It would be weird for him to show up at her door and explain all of that away, under the assumption that she’d care. Perhaps he’d misread the situation, but as he retreated back into his flat he couldn’t shake the heavy burden of misery that settled upon him. There was a lingering sense of loss, a feeling that he had just allowed something important to slip through his fingers.
Billy fell back into a state of miserable, lifeless existence over the following week. There were no further hangouts with his neighbour, and he ached with the sensation of missing her. The flat grew messier with each passing day, but he found himself not caring, trapped in his own cowardice of not being able to simply reach out to her. All it would take was a knock at her door, but it felt too big, too scary. The curtains had closed around his world once more.
As he stuffed his hands into his coat pockets on his way to work one afternoon, his fingers brushed against a slip of paper. Fishing it out, he saw that it was the pink post-it note she had left on his door the morning after they’d first met. He smiled faintly at the memory, though his heart twinged with sadness. He looked at the URL scrawled at the bottom – he had forgotten about it until now.
During a lull between customers at the pub, Billy disappeared around the corner of the bar, pulling his phone free from his jeans pocket and hastily typed the link from the note into the browser. It led to the page to register for an open evening at a local vocational college. He’d left it so long to check it out, that the day was now only a week away. For a moment, he considered simply locking his phone again and forgetting about it. It was overwhelming, the unknown, the possibility for failure, but something niggled at the back of his mind – the memory of how enthusiastically she’d offered to help him out – he owed it to her to register. Before he had time to convince himself otherwise, he input his details, hit submit and then pocketed his phone once more.
As he worked the rest of his shift, his mind was preoccupied by thoughts of the open evening. What if they told him he was too stupid, laughed at him for even considering applying to any of the courses and told him he was useless?
He realised he needed someone there with him, otherwise he wouldn’t go at all. For a moment, he considered asking Lana, but that would put too much pressure on the situation – she’d ask too many demanding questions, expect him to know straight away what course he wanted to apply to, and then feed it all back to their parents. That was the absolute last thing he needed; nagging from mum and disapproval from dad. He wanted her there with him, the person who had started all of this in the first place. She made him feel supported and inspired, and the thought of having her by his side made it seem less overwhelming. The question was, would she even want to come?
Once he finished work, he found himself outside of her flat, fist raised to the door, but not quite able to knock. In the time they hadn’t spoken, their friendship had existed in limbo to Billy – it either was or it wasn’t, but there was still the hope to cling to that she did still think fondly of him. He hated the idea of knocking on her door and her reacting negatively, telling him to get lost. It would add a sense of finality to it all, confirm once and for all that he was alone again.
Fucking idiot, just knock, he muttered to himself, before finally rapping his knuckles against the wood.
He heard her soft footsteps on the other side of the door before she opened it and for a moment Billy just stood there, lips parted and unable to say anything as his entire body surged with warmth at the sight of her. Her hair was loose, tousled around her shoulders, and she was wearing an oversized white t-shirt and pyjama shorts – it looked as though she was ready for bed.
Her eyes widened slightly at the sight of him, obviously not expecting to see him. “Everything okay?” she asked, a tinge of concern colouring her tone.
It was then Billy realised he hadn’t said anything, had just been gawping at her like a creep. He lowered his gaze, swallowing thickly as embarrassment made his cheeks blaze. “S–sorry…yeah…I erm…I registered for that open evening at the college you mentioned.”
“Oh…oh, right,” she said slowly, nodding as she wrapped her arms around herself, “that’s good…that’s really good.”
“It’s next week,” he told her, finally looking up to meet her gaze, “I wondered if you wouldn’t mind coming with me…if…if you’re not busy?”
She chewed her lip anxiously for a moment before replying. “Isn’t that something you’d want your girlfriend to go with you to?”
Billy sighed in frustration, pinching the bridge of his nose. He knew exactly what she was referring to. Of course that was what she had thought. Fucking Becky.
“She’s not my girlfriend,” he admitted, “I mean…she was, but she hasn’t been for a long time.”
“What was she doing at your place then?”
Billy fought the urge to smile at the imploring look upon her face as she asked that question. She was jealous, and it made his stomach flip to know she still liked him enough to feel that way.
“Can I come in before I answer that?”
She gave a slight nod, stepping aside to let him in before closing the door behind them. They both took a seat on the sofa, and Billy felt a part of himself grow lighter as he was once more immersed in the familiarity of her flat. It felt like just as much of a home to him as his own place did.
Billy turned the upper portion of his body to face her, watching as she placed a cushion in her lap to cover her bare legs as her shorts rode up her bare thighs. The sight made his throat run dry, and he had to wet his lips before he spoke, to remind himself why he was actually here.
“Her name’s Becky,” he began, “we split up about six months ago. She left me when my life had gone to shit – that’s something I wanna tell you about one day, once I’m ready. I want you to know. But yeah, she came round, wanting to rekindle something, I guess. I chucked her out, and that’s the end of it.”
Billy watched her, eager for her to say something, anything, as she stared pensively at the cushion she held in her lap, her fingers idly stroking its edges. “I suppose it’s not my place to be upset, considering my ex decked you,” she finally said, her voice quiet, “and really, it’s none of my business–”
“But I want it to be your business,” he interrupted, “I don’t want anyone thinking I’m still with her, especially not you!”
His eyes were wide as he stared at her, hoping that she could see he was being sincere. She said nothing as she stared back, though her posture softened, becoming less defensive.
Billy wasn’t sure who moved first, but he hoisted her into his lap as their lips connected, weeks of pent up tension melting away as their mouths moved with urgency. His tongue licked against hers, messy and desperate, as he hands caressed and squeezed every part of her body his hands could reach. She was soft, so soft, and she felt right against him. He cock stirred to life, hardening in his jeans with embarrassing quickness.
When they broke for air, both panting softly, she pulled her head back as he tried to kiss her again.
“What is it?” he asked, stroking his hands up and down her sides in a soothing gesture. She hadn’t moved off of his lap and didn’t look disgusted by what had happened, much to Billy’s relief.
“I just…maybe it’s too much, too quickly?” she whispered, “We’ve both got so much baggage, I don’t want to lose you if this doesn’t work out.”
Billy shook his head, giving her hips a gentle squeeze. “I get it, I do. But why write it off before we’ve even given it a chance? I’m sick and tired of waiting for my life to start, tired of acting like we’re just mates. Can we just…”
He threaded his fingers into her messy hair, guiding her lips back to his. This time she didn’t pull away, she kissed back eagerly, only stopping to tug her t-shirt up and over her head, chucking it to the side as she straddled his lap. 
Fuck, she was gorgeous.
His hands trailed up her bare torso, tentatively palming her breasts, feeling their weight and softness in his palms. When she lifted off of his lap to tug down her pyjama shorts, she giggled as she watched him struggle with the button and zipper of his jeans. God, he loved her laugh, he’d missed that sound. He pulled her back onto his lap with a lazy grin, his eyes screwing shut as a groan escaped him. The feeling of her wet folds stroking across the head of his hardened cock sent shockwaves of pleasure shooting all the way up his spine, making him feel light headed.
“Go slow,” he pleaded, as she sank down onto him, enveloping him in her tight heat. He knew it would be over all too soon if she continued to make him feel like this. His balls were already drawing up tight against his body.
“Thought you were tired of going slow,” she teased with an experimental roll of her hips.
“Fucking hell,” he gritted out, burying his face in the crook of her neck as she rode him. Each rock of her hips made his entire body tense and tremble. The slap of their flesh meeting punctuated every undulation of her hips, combined with their soft pants and moans.
“You have to stop,” he whimpered, as the telltale build of pressure at the base of his spine signalled his end, “I’m gonna–”
“It’s okay,” she whispered, tugging at the hair at the base of his neck to prompt him to look up into her eyes, “let go for me.”
Billy stilled, holding her hips in a grip so hard he was certain he’d leave bruises as his vision turned white, his mind going blank as his cock pulsated and spilled inside of her. The sensation made his entire body shudder, his thoughts not returning until the last of the tremors had subsided.
“Fuck…fuck…” he panted, brushing his hair away from his forehead as he looked up at her, “I’m sorry, you didn’t–”
“It’s fine,” she reassured him, pecking his lips gently with hers, “you’re not getting away with doing this just once tonight.”
A grin spread across Billy’s face. He was no longer a bystander in his own life, and he had her to thank for that.

Infirmary
Larissa x blind! reader
Warnings : mention of violence.
Flirting and teasing.
You are the new school doctor at Nevermore...
Word count: ~2.9k
Thanks to @tanith-rhea and @bobia13 for beta-reading it! (And @on-an-egotrip who was a bit late but still thank you)
Tumblr media
You were writing on your Braille keyboard. This was the end of your first week at Nevermore as the new school doctor. An earphone on, you were listening at the computer-generated voice saying the sentences you were typing.
You heard someone walking next to the infirmary. Long strides, steady click of heels on the parquet. Probably Principal Weems. The steps stopped in front of the opened door. Yes, that definitely was Principal Weems. You recognized her deep breath rhythm. You waited for her to talk to you, but she didn’t say anything.
Larissa was watching you. You seemed so absorbed by your work, she found this somehow cute. She may have had a little bit of a crush on you. She was staring at you, at your hair falling in front of your white eyes, at your hands running on the keyboard, at your so attractive lips, unaware that you could hear her.
And you knew she was staring. That made you smile. Principal Larissa Weems, staring at you… That was quite pleasant.
Why are they smiling? she thought
And you continued typing, as if you didn’t know she was there. And she continued looking at you, your white coat, your skin... When she had read your resume, she was reluctant to hire you because of your blindness. Nevermore was not really suitable for blind people. But in your interview with her, you told her about the abilities of your other senses which allowed you to move around without too much trouble. And then you had an assistant, Simon. Now she was very happy to have hired you. She was very happy because she could look at you. But during the interview, she also noticed this ring you had. A little gold ring, a little gold ring engraved with fine writing that she could not read. And as you had a ring, she knew she would never be able to make a move, and flirt with you. You already belonged to someone else. She knew she could never have you. So she just looked at you.
“Do you want to talk to me, or are you just here to stare, Principal Weems?” You asked.
Her eyes widened. How did you know?
“If you just want to stare, go ahead. I don’t mind.”
“Can you… see me?”
“I can’t, I’m blind, Principal. But I can hear you.”
She cleared her throat.
“I wanted to talk to you but… as you were working I didn’t want to disturb you.”
“Don’t worry, come, I always have time for my boss.”
You heard her heels approaching you, and her floral perfume wrapped you. She sat on the chair in front of your desk.
“I wanted to ask if your week went well.”
“Oh, pretty well, thank you. Do you want tea or something? I have tea, coffee, herbal tea, some sodas or fruit juice.”
“Er…”
“Tyl’, can you make me a cup of tea, please? Do you want one, Principal Weems?”
“What kind of tea?”
“Earl Grey. I’m pretty basic.”
Now she thought about this, the entire infirmary smelled Earl Grey. Actually, your mug was never empty. Everyone has their own addictions.
“A safe bet. I’d like one, thank you.”
“Two cups of tea, Tyl’.”
The kettle began to boil.
“Who’s Tyl’?”
“Uh? Oh, Tylgoedin, it’s an enchantment a friend of mine made for me. It’s basically like Alexa but more efficient.”
“And… Can you do all that you want with it?”
“No, I _or anyone else_ have to do the action at least one time for it to memorise. And then it just does the same thing again and again. I can teach him new things, but usually, it's a non blind person who does it for me.”
“I didn’t know that kind of thing existed…”
She looked at the kettle, and then two mugs floated in the air to the table on which the kettle was. Two tea-bags went out of a small box, settling on their own in the mugs.
“It allowed me not to have someone permanently with me. I can live alone thanks to this enchantment.”
She frowned. You had a ring. Did your… partner let you live alone? What kind of partner was it?
“You live alone?”
“Yes, why?”
“I thought you… were engaged or married. Or maybe you don’t live with them… Which is… totally fine. I’m not questioning your life choices. That would be unprofessional and inappropriate.”
You suppressed a chuckle.
“My ring, isn’t it?”
“Yes.”
“Mh, that’s Tyl’, the enchantment is on ring, I mean. I decided to put it on my ring finger to show my ex-colleague I wasn’t interested. But that’s true I don’t need to do this anymore.”
Her eyes widened, her heart warmed. So you were neither engaged nor married. She might have a chance with you.
“A simple ‘no’ wasn’t enough?”
“He learnt I was a lesbian and thought he could change me...”
The tea now brewed, the two cups came towards you. So you were a lesbian, uh? That was good to know. Larissa took a sip.
“Men…” She said in a sigh.
“And you?”
“And what “me”?”
“Engaged? Married?”
She blinked in disbelief. Were you really asking her if you had someone?
As she was taking time to answer, you got worried. She was your boss. You couldn’t just flirt with her like that.
“I’m sorry, that’s inappropriate. Just forget what I-”
“No, that’s okay, sweetheart. I’m single.”
You blushed and coughed, hearing the pet name.
“S-So, what did you want to ask me? Apart from whether my week went well.”
“Yeah, I have two more questions. First, is everything alright? I understand if you need facilities due to your disability.”
“I will just need time to program Tyl’, that’s all.”
She nodded.
“Did you see many students this week?”
“See? None.” you giggled.
“Oh, of course, sorry, well… You know what I mean, right?”
“Yes, don’t worry, I’m just messing with you. A few came here. headaches, stomachaches, hypoglycemia...Usual stuff. Mmh, yeah, one panic attack. But that’s all.”
“Who was it?”
The worries in her voice made your heart melt. She cared so deeply about her students, that was adorable.
“Enid Sinclair, if I remember well. But I'm not quite sure.”
“Blue eyes, blond hair, pink and blue high-” she stopped as she realised you couldn’t recognize her with this kind of description. “Talks a lot, really kind, unbearably curious”
“I think that’s her. I cannot tell you more about it, but don’t worry, she’s okay now.”
“I understand, thank you.”
You instinctively fidgeted your ring, as the silence returned. You knew she was watching you. It was as if you could feel her gaze on you. But you didn't know what she was thinking. You were afraid you had been too direct with your question, a little earlier, that you had said, at one point, something inappropriate. She made you nervous. But you tried to hide it.
“Do you have… another question?”
“No, that’s all, Dr Y/L/N. Thank you for answering.”
“You’re welcome, principal Weems.”
And then she left. Only the scent of her perfume lingered behind her.
.
A week went by.
You were eating your lunch on a bench in the courtyard when your phone rang. That was Simon, your nurse colleague. 
“Simon, is there a problem?”
“Y/N? Yes, yes, there is a big problem now. I can’t handle it. Either you come now or I call the emergency room”
“I’m on my way, what’s the problem?”
“Principal Weems had been attacked by normies. She managed to drive back to Nevermore and walk to the infirmary, but she threw up and her head is bleeding.” He quickly spouted off.
Your blood froze as you recognized the words "attacked" and "Principal Weems" in his frantic gibberish. Shit. It could have been a concussion…
“I’ll be there in one minute.”
You hung up.
You almost ran into three students. You knew the way to the infirmary by heart, but you couldn't predict where the students were, and your ear was overwhelmed by all the noise around you. 
“Sorry, sorry, it’s an emergency.”
You tried to protect your ears as much as you could. This was really uncomfortable. Some teenagers grumbled "watch out!" as you passed.
You arrived in the infirmary, breathless. But you had no time to catch your breath.
“Where is she?”
“She is lying in one of the resting rooms. The left one. I gave her water and painkillers.”
“Thank you Simon.”
You walked to the resting room. When you opened the door, you heard Larissa’s breathing. It was calm, and it comforted you. The stillness in the room was appeasing the tinnitus in your ears.
“Dr Y/L/N?” she articulated.
“Yes, that’s me, how do you feel?” you said as you carefully closed the door behind you.
“Strange.”
“That’s normal. Can you give me your hand, please?” you held out your hand towards the voice.
“Why?”
“You know, my ability. I can know where you’re hurt by touching your skin.”
“Oh, right, right.”
Her hand touched yours. You gently squeezed it, appreciating the softness of her skin, and concentrated. You automatically knew all of her body, from its outer form to the smallest cell of which it was composed. You spotted a superficial wound on her temple and some bruises on her ribs and arms. You inspected her brain very carefully, trying to ignore the dopamine and oxytocin her brain was secreting. But there was nothing abnormal or serious. A small concussion, she would need to rest. More fear than harm. You let her hand out.
“You’re really beautiful, darling, you know?”
You felt your cheeks warming. Why would she say that now? The blow to her head must have been harder than you thought… But why didn’t you find anything?
“I was about to say nothing serious, but I might be wrong.”
“Oh, come on, can’t you just accept a compliment?”
“Then thank you, you too.”
“You don’t need to say that, you know. Especially if you can’t see.”
“I touched you. I know all about your body. Even your blood type and your chronic back pain, darling.”
“Jesus! Do you know my DNA too?”
“I cannot know that. But what I do know is that holding my hand makes you secreting pleasure hormones”
“Eh! That’s unfair!”
“Life’s not fair, Principal Weems.”
You smirked, and while turning around, you asked Tylgoedin for some bandages, cotton and antiseptic for Larissa's wound. You heard her moving in the bed, behind you, but gave it no attention. The three items floated to your hands, and you took a step back, willing to approach you from her.
But she was right behind you, sitting on the bed. You didn’t properly calculate the distance between you and her. You lost your balance, bumping into her knees, and fell directly onto her lap, as everything you had in your hands hit the ground. She wrapped her arms around your waist.
“Nice catch.” she said.
Nice calculations, she thought
“I’m sorry, Principal Weems. I didn’t want to…” You felt your heart racing.
“Call me Larissa, darling.”
“Al-alright. Then I’m sorry, Larissa.”
“Don’t, that’s not your fault.”
“Can you let me stand up, now?”
“Can't you bandage me from my lap?”
You were about to argue but… Being on her lap was quite nice. You snapped your fingers, and the items on the floor flew into your hands.
“I can.”
Tylgoedin poured a few drops of disinfectant on the cotton. You could hardly concentrate, her arms around your waist, her breathing so close to you. You could almost hear her heartbeat.
“Good, because I won’t let you go,” she purred
“Is that a kidnapping, Principal Weems?” you teased.
You began to disinfect her wound, and you felt her tense up as you applied the antiseptic.
“Sort of. For me to release you, you'll have to allow me something... a date, for example.”
You tried to hide your giggle and your blush, but as your head was a few inches separated from hers, she could see your reaction. You wondered if she could feel the warm glowing from your cheeks.
“How dare you flirt with me during my working hours?” 
“Well technically, this is your lunchtime.”
“True.”
She turned her head towards you. Your hand on her cheek allowed you to know where she was looking. And she was looking at you, at your eyes, your lips, your neck.
“You know, when I said you were beautiful, I meant it.”
“Oh, hush. Stop talking or I’ll disinfect your eye.”
You never liked this kind of compliment. It reminded you you could never tell if it was true or not. And honestly, many people, especially teens and pre-teens, told you you were not beautiful, even ugly, because of your white eyes and the fact you couldn’t wear makeup. Now, compliments  sounded like a bad joke to you.
“Why would you disinfect my eye?” she asked, half laughing.
You wrapped a small bandage around her head.
“Because to say such nonsense, you probably have something in your eyes which prevents you from seeing properly.”
“Darling, among the two of us, you are the blind one. So trust me on all the appearance stuff, okay?”
“You might be right. It’s just… Compliments on what I look make me uncomfortable.”
“Okay then. What if I say you have a really beautiful voice?”
You smiled. That was the kind of thing you liked to hear. You put your lips on the bandage on her temple and kissed it.
“Are you kissing my boo-boos?”
"Yeah, it’s a part of my ability, I can remove pain with kisses." It wasn’t. But she had no way to prove it.
"What if I feel pain somewhere else?"
You verified, but you couldn’t spot pain anywhere else right now. She was lying.
"You don't, I know it"
"I do! Just here." With a smirk, she put her fingertip to her lips.
“You smart girl…”
You put your other hand on her other cheek and kissed her. Her lipstick made it feel strange, but not unpleasant. And you could know her heart was racing, and her brain was releasing oxytocin. She moved her hands behind you, holding you tighter. Her lips against yours, her breath on your face, that was all you wanted right now. Her teeth sunk into your bottom lip, and you made a sweet moan. She kissed you, again and again, moving very slowly to lay you down on the bed. She left some kisses on your cheeks, on your jaw, on your neck, at the edge of your shirt, which wasn’t covered by your white coat since it was your lunchtime. Her hands went under your clothes, caressing the skin on your ribs.
“Larissa…”
“I want you, Y/N”
She was driving you crazy. You knew she wanted you. Through the contact of her lips on your skin, of her fingertips on your belly and of your hands on her cheeks, you knew she was getting wet.
“I know,” you whispered.
You buried your fingers in her hair, it was soft, almost smooth. Her perfume enveloped you completely, so that all around you was her. The lips on your skin : her. The intoxicating scent : her. Those hair you felt under your touch : her. This body, towering you, pressing you against the bed : her. The sweet moans : her. The hands on your hips, running a finger under your shirt : her. The breathing sound and the heartbeat : her. But you couldn’t get enough. You wanted more.
Then the clock rang. It was the end of your lunchtime.
You sighed. You had to work. You didn’t want to but…
“Larissa, let me go, please.”
She groaned and caressed your cheek.
“I don’t want to.”
“Me neither, but my boss won’t be happy to learn I spend my working hours kissing a pretty girl in the resting room.”
“This is a kidnapping, sweetheart, your boss won’t say anything, it’s against your will...”
You chuckled. You really wanted to stay with her. You wanted her. Her body, her scent, her hands, her breathing, her hair, her lips, and her heart.
“I accept your offer of a date, then.”
“Okay, okay, you may go. But wait a second.”
She rubbed her thumb on your skin.
“What are you doing?” you asked
“You wouldn’t want every student to see my lipstick colour on your skin, would you?”
“God, I forgot it could leave stains…”
As hard as you could love her dominating you, you loved her just as much taking care of you. You let her clean your skin, knowing she was smiling while looking at your own smile. 
“That’s all, no lipstick stains left.”
“Thank you.”
You stood up. Now she wasn’t touching you anymore, you couldn’t know what she was doing, you didn’t like that, not knowing all about her.
“You need to rest, at least for 24h”
“Can I at least have my laptop, I need to work.”
“No work.”
“But I have to-”
“It is a work stoppage, doctor's order. No work.”
“Not even a single email?”
“Not even a “single” email. Nothing. Nic. Nada. Nichts. Nulla. Nietsego. Capice?”
“Okay, okay, Dr Y/L/N.” she laughed “And for our date?”
“What about… Sunday? To the Weathervane?”
“Sounds perfect.”
“If you need anything, I’m at my desk.”
And you went out of the resting room.

It Will Come Back (NSFW)
Jane Murdstone x Reader
Jane and you keep meeting for your weekly book clubs, but the books seem to all be sharing a central theme.
gahhd this was fun to write. thank you @tanith-rhea for the post that got me motivated to write this and thank you to my sweet baby @alexusonfire for being a beta <3
Tumblr media
You know better, babe, you know better, babe
“Are you even listening? Honestly, sometimes I wonder if there is anything going on in that head of yours.” The sound of Jane’s cutting voice drew you from your daydreams of her. In your fantasies, she had you pushed back on the settee, her lips hovering inches above yours as she berated you for ogling her. In reality, she was seated next to you, her hands folded atop of a book in her lap. 
Each week the two of you met to discuss your chosen book of the week. She had been a faithful customer of the bookshop in which you worked and had both met, and while your friendship was quick to grow, you occasionally found her to be abrasive and self-righteous. It was something you could easily overlook when compared to her incredible wit and mesmerizing beauty. 
She repeated your name once more when she didn’t receive a timely reply; shaking your head and turning your gaze upward to meet hers, you spoke quickly to subdue her growing frustration, “Yes, I’m listening. Sorry... as you were saying about Ms. Brontë’s work?” 
Before speaking, Jane looked you up and down, her lips pursed and eyes narrowing in disbelief that you had actually been listening to her. She chose to begin her thought once more, her eyes lingering on yours to ensure you were paying attention this time, “I was saying that it seems like Brontë’s female main characters engage in obsessive relationships with other women... Would you agree with this sentiment...?”
“Are you referring to their relationships as platonic... or something more Biblical?” Your eyes widen at the unreserved question, which went far beyond the realm of polite conversation for your two person book club. 
Since meeting Jane, there were many urges stirred within you that you had rarely experienced up until that point. The occasional brush of your hands at the bookstore would set your cheeks aflame and cause your breath to hitch. Never had you been more attracted to another individual, and Jane being who she was made those romantic and lustful feelings far more intimidating than anticipated. 
She hesitated momentarily, her fingertips dancing around the edges of ‘Villette’s’ hardcover. It was hard to not focus specifically on her hands and the skillful way her pointer and middle fingers graced the inside edge of the book, “From my perspective, it would require reading through the lines to determine the full extent of their relationships.”
“Indeed...” You nod, holding back on providing too much of your own personal input until she prompted you further. 
With a deep breath, Jane set her book on the table nearby and turned her body towards you, her shoulders back and face proud, “How good are you at reading through the lines? And of course, I’m referring to the moments when you are not spacing off into oblivion, daydreaming about only God knows what.” The final four words were spoken in a lower register, one that made your insides churn with a sensation you had never experienced before. 
Your mouth felt dry as your mind went completely blank. Internally, you were wrestling with yourself: was Jane trying to accrue these feelings within you or was your mind just running rampant? Shyly staring down into your lap, your fingers twist and pull at one another you focus on the specifics of the book rather than your personal relationship to Jane. “If we refer to the text, Lucy finds Ginevra to have many negative characteristics, yet she finds her quite attractive anyway.”
You could feel Jane leaning in close to you, but you felt frozen in your current position, only able to watch her leaning in from the corner of your eye. Her hot breath was on your ear, you could swear you felt her lips grace your ear lobe, “A familiar experience for you, hmm?” 
“Pardon?” You croaked, eyes closed as you waited for her to touch you further. What you hadn’t connected was her recognizing how you looked at her, both finding her deeply flawed yet alluring. 
Than to smile at me, smile at me like that
You were positive she knew what she was doing. She would ask for you specifically when she asked your boss to deliver her weekly order of books for her Lady, each weekly shipment containing her own book for your book club. Each Monday, your employer would have a stack of books ready to be taken to the home of Jane’s Lady. 
As always, when you knocked at the door of her Lady’s home, the butler answered with a neutral expression and a nod. He silently led you down the same path as usual, down the hall to the parlor on the right where Jane was always patiently waiting for you. He announced your entry and Jane’s blue hues were on you in a millisecond, “Ms. Murdstone. This week's books are here for you.”
She set her embroidery to the side and picked herself up from her place on the settee, coldly looking to the butler, “Thank you... You are dismissed.” Upon the closing of the parlor door, Jane finally addressed you once you were both alone, her tone shifting from cold and uncaring to pleasant and, dare you say, loving, “If it isn’t my favorite bibliophile. How are you today?”
Your arms were beginning to feel heavy from the weight of the books, but you wouldn’t place them anywhere until Jane directed you to. She had scolded you previously about being presumptuous and you weren’t looking to get into trouble with her once more. Shifting the books from side to side, you answered her question absentmindedly, “Quite well... and you?”
“Books can be placed on the credenza.” Her hand gestured to a finely made credenza on the far side of the room and you immediately started towards it, looking to liberate your arms of the soreness beginning to build. From the sound of her voice, you could hear her following you across the room, stopping directly behind you. “No complaints... Are we really going to persist with this tedious small talk or shall we talk about something more stimulating?
You turned on your heels, chin tilting upwards to look into her eyes rather than staring at her chest. The smile spreading across her face was one of pleasure in her perceived dominance over you. Taking one more step forwards, she caused you to take a step back, your back hitting the credenza and her hands coming down on either side of you. Your voice was shaky with nerves, “Apologies, miss. What, uhm- What books do you have for us to- to read this week?” It was challenging to maintain a gaze with her as she leaned in closer, your eyes flickering down to her lips. 
“This one was a special order from a friend. I had your copy delivered to your home.” Her head gently cocked to the side, her hands sliding in closer to land on your hips, fingers balling up the fabric of your skirts to keep you close. You were hesitant, but you timidly reached forward, the very tips of your fingers grazing against the black fabric at the base of her corset. Jane’s voice was as seductive as ever, bringing chills across your skin, “I think you will find it... diverting.”
Your voice was barely above a whisper, the pure anticipation of her kissing you at the forefront of your mind, “And what is it called?”
“Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure.” When the words hit your ears, your eyes widen in shock and she lets out a light chuckle, releasing you from her grasp and backing away from you. Her eyes raked down your body before she spun around, returning to her place on the couch where she could finish her embroidery project. 
You know better, babe, you know better, babe
Jane sat closer to you than normal on the couch for your regularly scheduled book club meeting, her body turned towards you with a hand outstretched to stroke at the fabric of your dress, “And what did you think of the readings this week, pet?” 
Her term of endearment caught you off guard. The pet name combined with the memory of the erotic readings from the past week had your heart beating faster as blood rushed to your face. Speaking quietly under the heavy gaze of Jane, you were beginning to think she had suggested reading ‘Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure’ as a way of purposely driving you wild, “Salacious... How did you get your hands on a book like this?” You had no clue where Jane obtained a copy; she clearly hadn’t purchased it from your employer as you were the one to deliver all of her purchases.
The book had more than its fair share of erotic scenes, many of which left you having to set the book aside for a few minutes as you had never read something so graphic and sexual before. It truly left nothing up to your imagination. 
Jane ignored your question, not wishing to divulge the details in the arduous process she went through to garner two copies of the book for this week's readings. Her hand came drifting closer to your thigh, playing it off as her playing with the small ruffles at the edges of your skirt. “I wish they would have included more about the main character and Phoebe... Don’t you?” 
The relationship between the two women was mentioned briefly, but Phoebe was the woman who prepared the main character for the life of a ‘woman of pleasure.’ The details about the two’s love affair was brief and veiled, so Jane’s asking was intentional as she probed you about your interest in women loving women. Since meeting Jane, you only felt your desire for her growing, but you had yet to verbalize this feeling, making you hesitate in answering her question, “I- Uhm...”
“So much was written in such detail, but their small moment was far more compelling than her relationships with men.” Jane stated plainly, her hand now dancing up and down your heavily clothed thigh. There was a stirring deep within the pit of your stomach, much like the feeling that had grown when she had you pinned against the credenza earlier in the week. 
“That is very true...” Deciding to answer honestly, you glance up to meet her eyes again. This was an incredibly dangerous act as the urge to close any gap that existed between the two of you only grew stronger. 
“Have you had an experience such as this? With another woman?” Jane was incredibly straightforward, her hand’s relinquishing their grasp on your dress. The relief in anxiety you felt was only momentary as her hands only drifted higher, hands coming to rest on either side of your cinched waist. 
The way your heart was beating, you would have thought you had run around the manor twice with no breaks. As always, you answered Jane’s question with complete honesty (even though you hesitated and cut yourself off in the end), “I have not... but I-” 
“But you what?” She implored, drawing you in closer by your waist. You wondered if it was just your imagination, but you could feel the squeeze of her hands through the bindings of your corset. 
Even if it was just a figment of your imagination, you let out a whimper, your words a breathy whine, “I would.”
Her lips twisted into a satisfied smirk, eyes drifting slowly from your face to the top of your dress where your collarbone was bared for all to see. Wide eyed, you watch as she lowered her lips to your collarbone, placing a kiss to your flesh, causing a shiver to ripple through your body. 
Than to hold me just, hold me just like that
You would like to say that you didn’t know how you ended up in your current position pressed up against the parlor door with Jane’s lips on your neck and your skirts hiked up around your waist while her hand was quick at work within your bloomers, but the events over the past month clearly showed you would end up here at some point.
“Look how easily you gave into me...” She mumbled, pressing kiss after kiss to your skin. The movements of her fingers against you felt like nothing you had experienced before, but you knew you would be desperate to experience again. 
You can only let out a brief whimper in response, the movements of her fingers against your clit making your brain unable to form true sentences. Little ripples of pleasure coursed through your body, leaving you to become absolute putty in her hands. Melting against her touch, the only thing holding you up was Jane’s knee between your legs and the need to keep her mouth on your neck. 
Her free hand slipped your dress off your left shoulder, her lips coming down on the tender flesh there, beginning to suck at the flesh to leave the sweetest of bruises that would certainly impact your dress choices for the next week. Jane’s voice was hoarse and desperate, unable to hide how much she sought to pleasure you, “You just couldn’t resist me, could you?”
“No...” You whined, shaking your head frantically. With more confidence, you were beginning to participate more in the act of sex, your hips bucking against her hand while your hands wound up around her neck to keep her close to you. 
Her fingers drifted back, dipping into your sex momentarily to gather some of your juices to then rub against your clit, creating a slick friction that made your hips buck while a quiet moan escaped your lips. Jane continued her recounting, her mouth kissing its way back along your shoulder to your neck, so her teeth could grasp at your earlobe, “I saw the way you stared at me... Your mind drifting off. No doubt thinking about terribly sinful things, weren’t you?”
“Yes.” You admitted quickly, unable to hide any secrets of your desire from her. 
She seemed to hit just the right spot, a moan rising up in your throat that you were able to strangle out just in time was an indication of her pleasurable movements. Jane was so pleased with herself that her fingers worked firmer against your clit and her body put more pressure against yours, making it impossible for you to move away (not that you wanted to anyway). Her free hand snaked up to your face, grabbing your chin and forcing your gaze to meet hers. “You aren’t just a common whore though... No. You are my whore.”
Her filthy words made you whine and for the first time, Jane’s lips captured yours. It wasn’t the gentle kiss you always imagined to be your first. No, this kiss was rough and desperate, her teeth latching onto your bottom lip and allowing it to slide through her teeth before releasing it.
You felt your body begin to tense in the strangest way. All of her ministrations have culminated in the growing of the most delightful of sensations between your legs, but this reaching of the peak felt far too intense for you to handle. Throwing your head back, you stare up to the ceiling, biting at your lip and hoping to repress the intensity of the pleasure you felt. 
Jane must have sensed your nervousness as she leaned in close, hand coming to rest at the back of your neck while her work against your clit slowed ever so slightly. She leaned in close, her lips hovering over yours momentarily, “Give into it, my darling. You will be happy you did.” Her lips were then on yours again, kissing you deeply as her fingers quickened their pace once again, sending you over the edge in seconds. 
Your final moan was muffled by her mouth, making the ravenette smile against your lips. Pulling her hand from your underwear, she lifted her fingers to her lips, dragging her tongue across the digits languidly, making eye contact the whole while. Your chest was heaving, brain unable to comprehend the events of the afternoon. 
Jane pressed a lingering kiss to your lips before stepping away. Her hand strayed downward, fixing the layers of skirts that had become disheveled. When she was done, she pulled you towards her by pulling at the fabric of your dress to get you away from the door. Reaching out with her opposite hand, she grasped at the door handle, twisting and pulling it open, indicating for you to leave, “See you next week.”

Important to me, please be honest...
I am planning on making Oneshots that are...less innocent in the SP Universe. Like, putting one of the Dead Men into a relationship with either the Reader or another Dead Men. (Besides Valkyrie. I don't plan that on her. Jesus christ no.)
Like...Idk...Dexter x Saracen or Anton x Reader or Ghastly x Tanith and all that stuff. I mean yeah, I give you that, in my Skulduggery Pleasant x M/n AU I did pair Ghastly and Tanith already, but I don't plan on anything N A U G H T Y.
Just keep in mind, if you say yes, that this means that the Reader (You) is NOT a child. You were NOT raised by the Dead Men and you do NOT see them as your own Brothers. At least the one the Reader is paired with won't be. If I write a wedding, then of COURSE you see the other Dead Men as Brothers.

Little snippet:
You heard the bench creak as she got up as well. A hand took yours and led it to the top of Brienne’s head. Her hand was softer than you imagined. It wasn’t a Lady’s hand like yours, hands which never touched anything else than silk fabric, wax tablet, silver cutlery, and Storm’s back. Hers were a bit rough, true, a bit callous, true. She had held so many swords, so many weapons, you knew she had blood in her hands. You also felt a scar on her palm, and you wondered how she did that. Was it an enemy who cut her hand with a dagger? Was it a white walker, during the long night? Was it by accident, falling from a horse? But her skin was soft, and the way she held your hand in hers… it was so delicate. You wanted to know every story about every inch of her skin. And now, under your fingers, they were her hair. Fine, soft as well, and you had heard it was fair too. You fought against the idea of burying your hand into it.

So yesterday morning I was feeling gender dysphoria, cause of transphobic family member. So to cheer myself up i wrote this. I hope it also helps anyone else feeling dysphoria rn
Gentle note, that this is very self indulgent, and it reflects mostly what I'd look for in comfort
Characters included: Morgott, Mohg, Varré, Rennala, Rykard and Tanith, Blaidd, Marika, Radagon, and Godwyn and Fortissax.
I'll do a second part to include Maliketh, Radahn, Kalé, Ordovis, Godfrey, Gideon, Godrick, and maybe my OC Ravis.
Someone intentionally deadnames, and misgenders you infront of your Elden Ring lover(s)
Morgott
Morgott has pretty thick skin. He's used to insults, and sneers thrown his way. He can take a lot of disrespect unfazed. And with you to reassure, and praise him? Nothing really gets to him anymore.
The moment someone has the audacity to disrespect you however? Especially if they target your gender dysphoria purposefully.
It would take a divine act of the greater will to stop him from putting the offender in their place, or you holding him back, should you wish to avoid violence.
Morgott is not one to throw around his power, and title as Lord of Lyndell so casually. But for you he'll take advantage of it's privilege to make sure the offender pays for their insult.
Expect extra attention for as long as your dysphoria eats at you.
Morgott will be with you constantly, well more than usual. Mother hen mode has activated.
He'll offer as much of gender affirming praises that you need.
He'll take you into his arms and trail kisses along the parts of yourself you may feel uncomfortable with.
Morgott would wrap you so gently around his tail, and bring you flush against his chest as he whispers everything he loves about you in your ear.
"Allow none to tell thee who thou art. And should they yet persist, I will be by thy side, always, to ward those vermin away."
Mohg
The person that disrespected you has now permanently volunteered for, the very available position, of bloodflame incantation test dummy. The new recruits will be very pleased :)
Mohg will show the offender no mercy, and will let you choose whether they die quickly, or slowly.
If Varré is part of the relationship, he will carry out the deed. Should you prefer the offender to die quickly, Varré will "accidentally" make them suffer.
Mohg would be quick to wash your dysphoria away.
He'll bring you close, using his wings to shield you from everything else. He'll trace his claws gently across your cheeks before cupping your face in his hands. He brings his face close to yours, your breaths mixing, and traces his tongue over your lips and across your face then finally to your ear. Where he'll whisper to you gender affirming praises, among other praises ;)
Anytime he mentions a body part of yours he likes, he'll give it a gentle caress before giving it a teasing squeeze.
"My dearest consort. Should any dare slander thy name, allow them no mercy."
Varré
The offender will know immediately they fucked up. Whether you notice Varré's menacing aura behind you, depends on how murderous he's feeling that day.
You know for a fact that the offender wont live to see tomorrow.
Varré will take his sweet time showing the offender the error of their ways. Should you be feeling especially dysphoric, however, he'll deal with the offender quickly.
Regardless of how fast they're dealt with, you won't see it. Varré prefers to make sure you see only the best sides of him, even if you already know what he's capable of.
When you do see him again, he'll be nice, and clean. Ready to take you in his arms.
He'll whisper praises to you as he pets you gently with one hand, and holds one of your hands with his other.
He'll have also brought you a bouquet of roses. Some of which he'll remove the thorns from so he can adorn you, without pricking you.
"My sweet little Lambkin. You are a radiant rose, and should any wish to pluck you, show them your thorns."
Rennala
Rennala cant imagine why anyone would disrespect you in such a way. You, her dearly beloved, who she holds so close to her heart, deserves not a second of this insult.
She's the most civil than anyone else on this list, but by no means does that imply that the offender will not know the full might of the Carian Queen, and the majesty she conjureth.
Once the offender is put in their place, whether that be 6 feet under, or much deeper to be worked to the bone in the mines, is up to you.
Rennala will hold you to her, resting your head comfortably on her chest. She'll sing to you until you're fast asleep.
She'll set all her work aside for the rest of the day, so she may spend time with you. Rennala wants to make sure that the offenders words are out of your mind, for they hold no merit.
"Rest my dearest. Tomorrow thou shall awake stronger than before. For it is another day the land bows to the majesty of thy soul."
Rykard, and Tanith
They're already plotting the offenders demise. There is no escape from their fury.
Rykard is quick to distract you while Tanith is busy attending to some... urgent business :)
Pre-devour Rykard will pull you to his chest, and plant kisses on your face, his beard tickling you. He'll make sure you know how much he loves you. Whether it be from praises, or his wandering hands, and lips.
Post-devour Rykard will have you safely snuggled on his body like a heated nest.
Although he is insecure about his voice, he knows you would never mean any harm or disrespect against him, so he'll do impressions for you to make you laugh. Eventually you'll forget about the offender.
Once Tanith returns, you'll notice her loyal Crucible Knight is suspiciously absent. You'll quickly forget your observation as Tanith joins you by your side.
Her arms slips around your waist, and her mask is set aside. She'll place a gentle kiss on your cheek, and then another on your lips.
The three of you will engage in whatever conversation catches your fancy. The rest of the day is spent in eachothers company.
"A true family stands by thy side, and supports thee through thick and thin."
"Should you find that to not be the case, then do not hesitate to leave, and find your true family. Family is not given, it is earned."
Blaidd
Blaidd is quick to correct the offender, thinking they were unaware of your real name, and gender.
Once he catches on that it's intentional, Blaidd's demeanor quickly changes. He serves them a chilling threat. His size, and fangs are suddenly more noticeable to the offender.
This alone would cause most to scurry with their tails between their legs, but should the offender foolishly stand their ground, they'll meet the unfortunate end of Blaidd's sword.
After the offender is dealt with, Blaidd will tell you to pay no heed to their words.
He'll take your hand in his large ones, and you'll both continue with your journey together.
You'll notice Blaidd saying your name more, and taking more opportunities to use your pronouns, should you use any.
If you're still feeling dysphoria, he'll settle down to rest with you. Discarding most of his armor so he can pull you to his fluffy chest, knowing full well how you adore being surrounded by his soft warmth.
He'll also opt to play games with you. Such as hide and seek, fetch /hj, sparring, or any other games or activities you have in mind.
Many may find it childish, but Blaidd doesn't care. If it makes you happy why force yourself to give it up just because you're an adult?
Besides there are plenty of adult activities he'd be more than willing to participate in ;)
"Don't let anyone tell you what you can and can't be, my love. Who are they to decide that? I like to picture it this way. If it sounds like something Seluvis would say, then I know it's full of shite."
Marika
It doesn't matter who the offender is, they just made the biggest mistake of their life, and most likely the last.
Marika is always so patient, and sweet with you, that it's really easy to forget how cruel, and cold she can be.
The offender will be executed for sure. Whether it's a public, or private execution will depend on you. Marika values, and respects your input, and since this concerns you, she wants to include you in that decision.
If you have the negotiating skills of a god, and are able to convince Marika not to have the offender killed, she'll demand that they receive a fitting punishment.
She'll have you decide on the punishment, but if you decide to let her choose, know that whatever she picks is final, and will be much worse than whatever you could imagine.
She expresses a lot of her love language in acts of service, so she feels that punishing the offender, is an ample display of her affection for you.
However, if you express otherwise, or the offenders words still ail you? Expect high praise, gifts, affection, and whatever you desire. She'll spoil you more than she usually does.
"Never lower thyself to the level of those who spit at your feet. Thou will only break thy back."
Radagon
Radagon is genuinely very shocked that someone that stupid even exists. First of all, to even have the audacity to disrespect you period. Second of all, to do so with him present? He severely doubts the offender has a will to live.
Just like Marika, it's so easy to forget what Radagon is capable of. He's so loving, patient, and approachable with you, that when he does a 180, it always takes you by surprise.
Unlike Marika, he will consult you on the offenders fate from the get go. However, whatever you choose know that he will not let the Offender slide too easily, no matter how merciful you may choose to be.
Whatever the offenders fate, he'll make sure that you don't take the offenders disrespect to heart.
Radagon would do absolutely anything to reassure you, and get your mind off it.
He doesn't usually spoil you as rotten as Marika would, but makes exceptions when you're feeling especially down, or dysphoric.
He will be at your beck and call. Whatever you ask for, he'll personally do. Whether it be to get you something, a massage, praises, or affection. He'll do it with purpose, and passion.
He'll also take you on walks through nature, as he believes it can be soothing to the soul. If you wish to eat, he'll somehow already have a picnic spot ready for you.
Radagon is a devoted lover.
"Turn thy head away, and look at me. Without thee, the sun will never shine the same, and the very winds will change it's course. Thou art a force of nature, and the world would be emptier without thee."
Godwyn, and Fortissax
(Some inspiration from @/prismatic-starstuff thoughts on Godwyn's temper. You are gods send, and i really appreciate you! Check out their blog, it's hella awesome!)
Some, especially foolish, people may mistake Godwyn as a pushover. He's kind, gentle, and patient with all he meets. That kindness should not be mistaken as weakness, as anyone who's seen, the very rare instances of Godwyn's anger.
The quote from the wiseman's fear, about the anger of a gentle man, fits Godwyn well.
Whoever disrespected you in front of not only Godwyn, but also Fortissax, has a bigger death wish than any of the other offenders on this list.
Who looks at the lover of not just a demigod, but also a notorious dragon, and goes "Yeah, Im gonna shit on that person in particular"???
The offender is either dead on the spot, or later to spare you the scene. (The former is more likely)
Fortissax genuinely doesn't understand those that don't know to mind their own business, especially on matters that dont concern them.
It also doesn't understand the discourse on gender identity either. If someone states how they identify, how difficult is it to respect that? It can think of an endless amount of things more difficult. Like trying to avoid it's sisters wrath when it knows it's done fucked up, like that one time. Fortissax shudders at the memory.
It'll tell you not to pay anything to the offenders words. Their words have no worth, and shouldn't plague you.
If Fortissax does notice it still bothers you, It'll offer to nap with you. Sleep usually helps it when something is on it's mind, so it'll take you in it's large clawed hand, and hold you gently to its chest, or neck. Or just this once, should you insist, it'll allow you to lay on it's warm snout.
Don't tell a soul, especially Lansseax, she'll never let it hear the end of it.
Godwyn will set aside a few days to spend quality time with you, and Fortissax.
He'll also offer to write you poetry should the offenders words still bother you.
He will write an entire book of poetry on how wonderful you are if he has to. He wants you to see yourself the way he does.
He'll hold you close as you both cuddle against Fortissax, the dragon already having it's arm trapping you both to it's chest.
Godwyn will kiss every inch of you, gender affirming praises whispered in-between. His hands wandering wherever his lips are not. He'll worship you.
Once he's satisfied, and you're feeling better, he'll take a nap with his lovers.
"What wisdom wouldst a blinking idiot with their head in the ground offer thee? Scowl upon them, and move on. Waste not a moment more."
"Thy radiance outshines the very sun, and eases mine eyes so that I may look upon thee. The moon wanes in thy presence, it's magnificence second only to thee. I may be known as golden, but without thee I am as dull as copper, for thou art my glimmer."
