Ooo tell me about the Hitman's Bodyguard AU👀💜

Okay this is my current baby I have invested so much time and energy into this fic so I'm very glad you asked!

Similar to the plot of the movie but I did also change a lot, Buck was a hitman who was forced to work for Doug. When Doug is arrested, Buck agrees to testify to ensure he never leaves prison and Maddie can be free. Only Doug has a lot of very loyal employees who want to make sure Buck doesn't make it to court.

Enter Eddie Diaz, professional bodyguard who absolutely hates Buck because he was always trying to kill Eddie's clients and even succeeded once, costing Eddie his triple A status. Eddie's offered his status back if he can bring Buck alive to court. They both agree to be civil for the greater good and then fall in love on the way.

There's also gonna be a lot of action and a lot of angst but the falling in love part is more exciting.

“Him?!” Eddie yells, pacing back and forth.

“Hi!”

“Evan Buckley?! That’s who you want me to protect, Bobby?” Eddie ignores the other man, too wound up to even look at Buckley without wanting to bite his head off.

“I know you two have a history” Bobby states. He's so calm it actually annoys Eddie more.

“We do?” Buckley asks.

“You’ve tried to kill me 17 times! 18! Fucking Prague.” Eddie finally glances over at him, he looks way too much like a kicked puppy for a literal killer.

“That’s just work man, no hard feelings” Buckley places his hand out for Eddie to shake, Eddie regards it with shock and disgust. 

“He’s the key witness for the Doug Kendall case, without him that man goes free.”

Eddie stares Buckley down, “how do we know he’s not working for Kendall still? His lackeys seem pretty loyal.”

“I’m not his lackey” Buckley snaps, voice suddenly cold, “I want him dead, but jail will do.”

TigerCub!Yang: (roars fiercely, but it comes out as a scratchy yowl as she attacks a giant stuffed tiger)

Blake: Get it, Yang. You get that plushy.

TigerCub!Yang: (bowls ass over teakettle but shakes it off and tries to run wobbly)

Blake: (sneaks a red bull stuffed animal out from behind her back and bonks the limp horns against her leg) Ah! Yang, help! Taurus is attacking me!

TigerCub!Yang: (glares at the bull, roars a little better, and pounces on the plush. Effectively digging her claws into the flimsy fabric and going for the jugular)

Blake: Good job, Yang! (Picks up TC!Y and snuggles her close while the cub still has a death grip on the toy) Such a big, strong, brave tiger!

TigerCub!Yang: (chuffs proudly)

Ilia: You know. Now that I've seen this, I can't testify in court that it wasn't premeditated if your ex suddenly gets found in the ditch with suspicious mauling injuries.

Blake: Come on, Ilia. What are the chances that Adam ever gets out of prison after everything he's done?

-Three Years Later-

Tiger!Yang: (pinning Adam to the ground as she roars in his face, a bloodthirsty, feral fire burning in her eyes)

Adam: OH GOD HELP ME!!!! WHEN WAS IT LEGAL TO HAVE TIGERS AS HOME SECURITY?!?!?!?!

Blake: Huh.... Ilia might have had a point.

Yang: That the abusive ex-boyfriend?

Blake: Yup

Yang: (locks and loads shotgun) Be right back. Love you! (Jumps out the window and joins her tiger counterpart in the roaring match against Adam)

Blake: (sighs) I love them 💜

Hi there! Thank you, I’m so happy you enjoy the recs 💜 here are some great Harry-centric long fics, I hope you enjoy:

At the Doorway, On the Stair by dwell_the_brave (T, 30k)

A year after Draco Malfoy goes missing, his mother has one last option—Harry Potter. Having left the Auror department and made a name for himself as a Private Investigator, Harry cannot help but get involved in the disappearance of Draco Malfoy.

Faint Indirections by ignatiustrout (T, 30k)

Draco Malfoy is the last person Harry expects to turn up in Boston, Massachussetts. But now he's here, and he won't stop requesting books from the library where Harry works.

On Your Shore by @xanthippe74 (M, 35k)

Clearing out a remote house full of cursed collectibles in the Outer Hebrides? Not a problem for an experienced curse breaker like Harry Potter. Spending a week with the straight, happily-married man that he’s starting to have feelings for? And sharing a bed with him at night? Surely Harry can handle that, too.

Rush (For A Gap That Exists) by @sleepstxtic-drarry (M, 42k)

A story of love and loss that grew amidst the most infamous rivalry in Formula One history: the story of Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter.

Blood and Fire by @lqtraintracks (E, 45k)

Harry has spent the last twelve years in Romania, not returning to England as often as he knows he should. It's complicated. But when Ginny asks him to be her best man and help her plan her wedding, he can't say no.

The Way We Wind by @thesleepiesthufflepuff (E, 45k)

After the war, Harry’s life falls to shambles. Each day revolves around an intense battle with his mental health, and there’s nothing that Ron or Hermione can do to help him.

fly like paper, high like planes by @harryromper (M, 47k)

Harry Potter, Head Coach of the Appleby Arrows, is very content leading a quiet life. He has a doddery old house-elf who makes his breakfast, a team of players who love Quidditch almost as much as he does, and a Kneazle that curls against his damaged leg at the foot of his bed at night.

Crossing Lines by Ren (E, 48k)

While investigating a ring of smugglers, the Aurors receive a tip saying that the European Express is being used to move contraband across state lines. To solve the case, Harry has to unmask the smugglers and find the hidden contraband before the luxury train reaches Bulgaria.

Here's The Pencil, Make It Work by ignatiustrout (M, 49k)

Harry thinks "Why is Malfoy working in a coffee shop in muggle London?" is a much simpler question than, "Are you going to accept that auror offer and, if you don't, what will you do?"

I Won't Let You Fall Apart by @xanthippe74 (M, 50k)

Harry has spent the year after the war staying out of the public eye, dodging political battles, and standing firm against pressure from his friends. But he has a secret plan to get away from it all. He just needs to testify at one more Death Eater trial: Draco Malfoy’s.

New Message by @m0srael (T, 58k)

Harry Potter has a crush on his roommate--like, a BIG one--but he can't say anything to him, can he?! Naturally, he does what any early 2000s young adult would do and asks the internet for help, and gets a lot more back than he expected.

Modern Love by @tackytigerfic (E, 61k)

Harry Potter, of all people, knows that life isn’t always fair. And no one gets to be happy all of the time. But surely there’s something more—something better—than a rubbish Ministry job, and a lonely old house, and that feeling that everyone out there is doing a better job of living than Harry is.

The Beauty of Thestrals and Other Unseen Things by @writcraft (E, 63k)

Harry has terrific friends, an amazing girlfriend and his job as Head Auror enables him to work on challenging cases and Ministry reform. He just wishes he could work out why he’s been so out of sorts.

The Promise of Summer by Omi_Ohmy (M, 66k)

How was Harry supposed to know that coming back for eighth year would be so confusing? Everything is the same, and yet not the same. And nowhere is this more obvious than with Draco Malfoy.

Crown Witness by @slytherco (E, 70k)

After the war, wizarding society is oppressed by a new kind of plague—an organised crime group calling itself the Family. When Harry Potter goes to interrogate a potential witness, he doesn’t expect to end up on the run again, trying to keep Draco Malfoy alive, while a manhunt follows in their footsteps, adamant on eliminating the one witness that could ruin everything.

Little Deaths and How to Avoid Them (or Draco Malfoy's Guide to Stop Dying and Start Living Instead) by nerakrose (T, 96k)

Malfoy is way too interested in coroner reports for somebody who's definitely not looking for ways to die, Harry wants to be friends with him, and Ginny wants to break up with Harry.

Pages of You by @wolfpants (E, 101k)

Summer, 1980. Harry is floating between university and becoming a Real Certified Adult. He's not ready. He really isn't. In a desperate attempt to have the Best Last Summer ever, he takes a casual job at his godfather's bookshop in London, starts an illicit pen pal affair with a wordy posh boy that he's catching feelings for, all while dealing with the son of Sirius's business rival, one Draco Malfoy, insufferable know-it-all extraordinaire.

Make Yourself by AnyaElizabeth (E, 103k)

Harry just wants to be safe within the freshly painted walls of Grimmauld Place, with his friends around him. But when he hears Draco Malfoy has been spotted at the local soup kitchen, he can't help but encourage a different type of stray to come under his roof.

By the Grace by lettered (T, 140k)

Harry is an Auror instructor. Malfoy wants to be an Auror.

where all the veins meet by eight_of_wands (E, 146k)

It's the summer of 1998. The battle is over, and Voldemort is dead, but Harry still has more questions than answers. Who is he without a piece of Voldemort's soul in his head? What is he supposed to do now? His friends try to help, but the only thing that can hold his attention—one of the only things that ever has—is Draco Malfoy, out on parole and weirdly hanging around the British Museum.

Steve was sipping coffee at the kitchen table with Winnie in silence. He was waiting on Jessie to drop Ben off so he could go to the bank with her. He thought back to last night when he finally got to meet his son and spend time with him. For five years he had missed out on so much that it broke his heart. Now he plans to make up for not being around. Steve thought about the years he lost with Jessie. They would have been married by now with a couple of kids. They could have had the future they dreamt about. Now he has to win her back from another man. The same man who testified against him, something he will never forget.

“Thinking about Jessie and Ben?” Winnie’s voice cut through his thoughts and he almost choked on his coffee.

Wiping his mouth with his hand he coughed a few times before replying. “Am I that obvious?”

Winnie smirked at him. “I watched you both yesterday and I can tell there are still feelings between you. A mother always knows Steven. I’ve seen that look on both your faces since you were kids.”

“If that were true, why is she still with Billy? It doesn’t make sense to me.” Steve looked away from Winnie and played with his mug.

“I’ll lay out the hard truth to you as a mother would. You broke her heart when she saw you in prison and told her to move on.” She raised her hand as Steve was about to speak but he closed his mouth. “I had to pick up the pieces of my daughter while she was pregnant with Ben. Then Billy started to help her with things you would have been doing if you were free. He helped her buy things for Ben, paint the bedroom, set up the furniture, and was there for her emotionally. After Ben was born Jessie relied on me, Nat and Billy heavily. Nat and I would help her during the day and Billy was stopping by after he got off work. After Ben turned one Billy asked Jessie out for dinner. The rest is history as they say. I think she is with Billy cause she thinks she owes him. Yes, there could be some love there but I guarantee it’s not like what she has for you.”

Steve sat speechless, trying to process everything that she just said. Inside he beats himself up as he knows this is his fault. He pushed Jessie away and into another man’s arms. At the time he thought what he was doing was the right thing but now he questions the choices he has made. If he hadn’t lost hope he would have never pushed Jessie away but he thought he was going to be locked up for twenty years. Seeing his son’s face light up when Billy came around made his stomach sink. His son should be like that with him or with the guys from the biker club, not the Sheriff. 

Steve sighed, “You’re right. This is my screw-up and I plan to do what is right.”

“And what is the right thing, Steven?” Winnie asked behind her cup of coffee.

Steve smirked, “I want my family back and I won’t stop until Jessie realizes her feelings for me.”

“Good boy.” Winnie reached across the table and patted his hand. 

At that moment Jessie’s truck pulled up to the house. Steve and Winnie stood from the table to meet Jessie on the porch. Once Ben was placed on the ground he started to run toward them.

“Mamaw! Daddy! I’ve come to see you!” Ben was running towards them at full speed. As he reached them both Steve bent down and caught Ben in his arms. Steve and Ben hugged tightly. Steve kissed his son on the head as the little boy squealed in delight. Then Ben made grabby hands towards Winnie who scooped him up into her arms. She gave him several kisses on the cheek while Ben continued to laugh. 

Jessie walked up the porch and took the three of them in. “What do I have to do to get some love like that?”

Steve grinned as he reached his hand towards her arm and gently pulled her into a hug. He kissed the top of her head and Jessie melted into him, her arms wrapped around Steve’s waist. She couldn’t help but breathe in his scent of sandalwood but as she nuzzled into his chest Jessie quickly pulled away. What was she just doing? Her stupid emotions were screaming in delight and guilt.

“Sorry I didn’t mean to do that,” Jessie quickly said. 

“No worries, that was my fault I just thought you meant it,” Steve replied as he rubbed a hand on the back of his neck. 

“It’s okay Steve. Why don’t we go to the bank? That way you can get some money to your name.” Jessie looked from him to her mom and Ben. “Now Ben be a good boy for mamaw okay?” Ben shook his head yes as he cuddled up to Winnie. 

Steve leaned over to Ben and kissed his head. “See ya later Ben.”

“Bye, mommy! Bye, daddy! I love you.” Ben waved goodbye to them as they headed towards the driveway.

“I was thinking Jessie, maybe we could take the bike. I know you like riding.” Steve watched as she bit her lip, contemplating whether she should or not. After a moment she nodded her head.

Steve smiled as he headed over to the bike and got on. Jessie waited while he settled in and she got behind him, her hands wrapping around his waist. Steve started the engine and the bike roared to life. Pulling away from the house they waved goodbye to Ben and Winnie, heading into town towards the bank.

The bike ride wasn’t far to the bank but Jessie enjoyed every moment of it. The last time she rode on one was five years ago. Going riding on the back of Steve’s motorcycle was always her happy place. Wind in her hair, sun on her skin, and the rev of an engine were bliss. This is where she belonged, a part of her screamed in joy in her head while the other part tells her she needs to work things out with Billy. 

As they drove into town Steve passed the diner and garage before turning on a side street to the bank where they parked. It didn’t take long to add Steve to the account that Jessie had just for his check and Ben’s expenses. Steve was shocked by how much she saved after pulling some out to take care of their son every month. The account was in the six-figure range. Jessie had only used two thousand a month for the first few years. After Billy moved in last year and once he was using his income to help with Ben she stopped collecting from Steve’s account unless there was an emergency with Ben. This left Steve’s account with more than enough to get his own place and start over. 

Steve couldn’t help the tears that swam in his eyes as they walked back to his bike. When he told her to take his check every month he was sure that she would use it all. Now he could see she only took what she needed to raise their son. He let out a sigh. “I can’t believe you left that much money in the account.”

Jessie shrugged her shoulders. “Deep down inside I always knew you would be coming home early. I wanted to make sure you came home to something if you did get released.”

“If that’s true, why did you move on?” Steve inquired.

“Please not this conversation again. You already know why I moved on. Let’s not ruin the day.” Jessie gave a pleading look trying to change the topic.

“I will drop the conversation for now but eventually we need to talk out our feelings for one another.” That caught Jessie by surprise and she turned a shade of red. “You can act surprised all you want but I know how you feel.”

“Can we go somewhere else and have this conversation? This is too open to town folks and I don’t need them gossiping.”

Steve nodded and hopped on his bike. Jessie got on afterward and Steve sped away from the curb. If she wanted a safe place to talk he knew just the place.

Billy was once again seething at Jessie. This time he watched her drive by on the back of Steve’s bike while he was inside eating at the diner not once but twice! He was going to get to the bottom of this later tonight. Billy would be damned if she left him for Steve. What he needed to do is call the Hydra biker gang in the next town over. They worked for the jigsaw and used to harass the Barnes family for years over their debt. Maybe they could rough up Steve and send a message that he needed to stay away from Jessie. Billy paid his bill and walked out to his SUV. Inside he dialed a number on his burner phone. After the second ring, someone's voice answered.

“Yeah, boss?”

“I have a job for you,” Billy informed Jack on the phone. 

“I’m listening.”

As Steve parked the bike Jessie couldn’t help the smile on her face. He had driven to an oversight area on top of a small mountain that oversaw the town. Growing up they came up here and sat on the ledge taking in their small town. This is what Jessie called her secret place. As she got off the bike Jessie walked over to a spot on a rock and sat down. A few steps behind her Steve sat next to her as they both looked over the town. 

“You know nothing can happen between us right? I made a commitment to Billy. Not only has he helped me raise Ben but I said yes to his marriage proposal.” Jessie declared as she continued to stare into the distance.

“I remember when you said yes to me and we promised to love each other always. Can you honestly say that you still don't have feelings for me? That you don’t love me deep down inside of you? After everything, we have been through and after all the years together. Tell me you don’t love me and I will stop.”

Jessie’s eyes started to water at what he said. She honestly couldn’t deny she had feelings for him. She was battling a war inside her, one that felt she owed Billy, even loved him and the other her love for Steve that has been around since she was a kid. God, how could she think that? She loved Billy, right? She shook her head cause maybe her love for him was different than it was for Steve. 

“Why do you have to keep pushing this issue? You told me we were over Steve. You pushed me away.” Jessie pointed a finger at him as her temper started to show.

Steve sat closer to her, gently cupped her face, and kissed her. The kiss started slow but when Jessie carded her fingers in his long hair it built into a passionate kiss. Tongues danced with each other and Jessie moaned into the kiss. After a few moments, they pulled away from one another. 

Taking a breath Steve spoke with all the hurt and love he has been feeling. “I was a fool for pushing you away. I’ve not forgiven myself for how I acted and for that I’m sorry. I’m sorry for breaking your heart. I’m sorry for not being around to raise Ben. This is all my fault but dammit Jessie I love you with every part of me. I don’t want anyone else but you. Just say the words and I can help you figure things out.”

Jessie continued to wipe the tears from her eyes and took a deep breath. “I love you too Steve but I can’t make a decision just now. I need to think it over.”

“I would wait for you forever if I knew I had a shot at being with you again. Now let’s get you back to your ma’s house so we can see Ben.”

As Steve and Jessie pulled up to Winnie’s house they were met by Billy who was on the porch playing with Ben while he talked to Winnie. Jessie’s stomach instantly dropped and she felt like she was going to be sick. Billy looked at her with an unamused look, arms crossed over his chest. He got up from the porch and said something to Winnie who shook her head. Jessie hopped off the bike and walked quickly up to the porch. 

“What are you doing here? I thought you were working?” Jessie asked nervously. Steve strolled up beside her and narrowed his eyes at Billy after hearing the nervousness in her voice made him be on guard.

“Oh darling, I was looking for you. I’ve been trying to call you all morning and I got worried so I came here. Winnie said you had to run an errand but I had no clue it was with Steve. I need to talk with you at home and already asked Winnie if she could watch Ben for us. She was more than happy so this will give Steve some time with Ben along with her. Is that okay with you?”

Jessie fidgeted with her hands, rolling her engagement ring around and around her finger. Avoiding eye contact with him she shook her head. She knew the look on his face all too well. Billy was pissed off with her and no doubt they were going home to argue, which she hated doing. Jessie went up to the porch and said goodbye to Ben, giving him a big hug and kiss. She turned to her ma and thanked her for taking Ben until tomorrow. As she walked down the stairs with Billy she made no eye contact with Steve. She headed to her truck and left, followed by the Sheriff’s SUV.

Steve watched as they drove out of sight. He turned to Winnie and asked, “What was that about?” 

Winnie came down the porch stairs and pulled Steve away from where Ben could hear. “I can’t prove anything but I don’t think he treats her well when he gets angry. I tried to talk about it years ago and she just denies it. I’ve never seen her with bruises but I know that look all too well. Becca had the same one when she was Brock. It haunts me but there isn’t anything I can do with him being the Sheriff.” 

Steve was getting angry with what he was being told. The thought of Jessie possibly being hurt by that man made his veins burn hot. “For Billy’s sake, he better not put a hand on her, or I swear to God…”

“Steven, you will do no such thing. You just got out of lockup and have a son that needs YOU! Not Billy. I may be sweet when Billy and Jessie are around but my mama bear instincts tell me they need to break up.”

“Mamaw, I’m hungry,” Ben yelled out to her.

“Figure this out Steven but do it the right way.” Winnie turned towards the porch. “Let’s go inside Ben and mamaw will make you something.”

Steve watched as they both disappeared into the house. He was even more determined now to win Jessie over. Maybe he can start spending more time with her through Ben. He now knew she had feelings for him, hell even loved him still. Now it was time to pull on that thread.

Jessie walked into the house with Billy on her heels. He slammed the door behind him and grabbed her by the upper arm in two long strides. He turned her to face him as he slammed her into the wall. Jessie instantly started to shake in his grip.

“What the hell is going on with you? Hmmm? First, you called out his name while we were in bed. Secondly, I see you driving all over town on the back of his bike like a biker whore. Then Mrs. Davis at the bank tells me when I went in to get money from my account that you put Steve on the account we were using to take care of Ben. What are you exactly doing?” His grip on her upper arms tightened and made her cry out. 

Her eyes refused to look into his angry ones as her heart started to race with fear. She started to speak quickly, “Nothing is going on with me I swear. I already said this morning was an accident. I don’t know what came over me but I’m sorry. I was only on his bike briefly while we went to the bank. That money was never meant to be ours. It was Steve’s money and now that he is out he deserves to have it back.”

Billy’s head tilted as he stared at Jessie and then quickly slapped her across the face. Jessie’s hand went to her cheek that stung and cupped her face gently. Tears filled her eyes as she looked at him dumbfounded. 

“Now Darling, I know you are lying. You were on his bike longer than to the bank and back. Remember the town likes to gossip. I know where he took you afterward but the question is did you whore yourself out?”

“I-I didn't, I swear!” Tears slid down her face as she stared into his dark eyes. 

His brown eyes took in her crying face and searched her blue eyes as if she was lying. Satisfied with her answer he let her go. “I believe you. Just remember you are mine. If you try to stray even once your punishment will be far worse. Now I have to get back to work but I expect a meal on the table for dinner and a willing partner in bed later.” Billy turned and left the house, slamming the door again behind him.

Jessie slid to the floor and wept. This stupid small town was going to get her in trouble with their gossip. Heck if Billy knew she kissed Steve things would have been worse for her. She knew this wasn’t healthy but a part of her felt she owed Billy for the five years he helped take care of her and Ben. The other part was screaming leave, run, go to Steve and he will help. She knew what she had to do. Grabbing her phone she dialed a number quickly.

As soon as Steve greeted her Jessie tried to steady her voice. “Steve, I need to talk to you in person. Can you come over?”

“Of course, I can. Is everything okay?” He asked.

“No, it’s not, I need to see you now.” Jessie’s voice started to falter as she fought back tears.

“Hang tight, I’m on my way doll.”

*crashes through the ceiling* Hello, hello ~💜

So, not an ask game question, I'm just curious af. Would you mind telling me more about Sora Kurohoshi? And Rin Amamiya? And Dolores "Lolita"? And Jeff the Pom?

Also, how do Kitana Garrison and Nerissa look like? (description, picrew, whatever you prefer!)

hewwo!!

sora was originally made for a death note RP forum that i made with my friends. she was really egotistical and was the catalyst for one of the "big events" of the thing. she at first killed a bully of hers then went on to kill her family to get more attention from kira. she threatened to kill her cousin who was testifying against her and smuggle in a weapon to her court case then she would somehow steal it and then cause an even bigger scene that kira just couldn't ignore. she really wanted to die by kira but light winds up having her kill herself by using the death note (like writing in the fact that she commits suicide, not like giving her the note and then lol.)

i used this anime girl as a face claim. you just dont see anime girl pics like this anymore :')

Rin Amamiya is basically a female version of Joker Persona 5. i got super attached to her as i fleshed her out and wrote more about her. i rp as her a lot on a ERP site and have done crossover stuff which led to her MHA AU counterpart.

MHA!Rin is a petty criminal. she isn't super serious about actually committing crimes and is lowkey kind of a coward despite the showiness of her heists and costumes (which is a revealing leotard). like the traditional phantom thief, she sends a letter announcing that she is going to steal X thing and that the police better catch her and stop her. i personally think that she does all this for attention because she's so unassuming and considered really plain outside of the Joker persona.

she has beef with Neito because she couldn't use the name Phantom Thief due to him. the two butt heads a lot because he always wound up having to chase her and stuff when he was on his internship.

(art by nemirutami)

Dolores (though she wants you to call her Lolita-chan! its totally more cute that way!) is a trainer born in Paldea but had to move to Galar for most of her life. she has a huge fangirl crush on Raihan (and Bede when he becomes a gym leader) due to his amazing charisma and impeccable social media prescence. he inspires her to try to become a champion and idol as well. she has a HUGE fascination with sinnohian and hoennian culture, finding them really cute and aesthetically pleasing plus the animation that comes from there is really cool.

she has a tendency to get new crushes ALL THE TIME even if she's in a relationship atm. her girlfriend goes to another school (naranja while she is an uva student). you don't know her. (the girlfriend is real and is named maria, she belongs to my partner). her biggest crush is probably professor jacq, her biology teacher, but she doesn't pursue it.

jeff the pom isn't the most fleshed out tbh. he be my dog, jeff who is a pommeranian, but as a sonic character. i imagine him being a 'speed' type character in a sonic heroes setting. he's a doofus who wears his heart on his sleeve and sleeps all the time.

i dont have a ref image for him yet sadly gshfhgsdfh

when i originally made kitana, i used this anime girl as a face claim.

i eventually drew her in 2014 and lol its kinda rough to look at.

nerissa looks like this!

on the left is her current design and the right is her old design.

thanks for the questions!

Escape (FANFIC)

New Chapter of my Angst series 💜

“I need the two of you to please behave while I’m gone”

This was bad, but this time Geppetto had no other choice but to leave the house, he was being summoned to testify about matters involving the puppet frenzy that occurred two years ago, Geppetto had managed to avoid all suspicion until this point, it was extremely easy to blame everything on the alchemists and he wasn’t stupid he knew how to cover his tracks, however, there is a new journalist who has kept pushing the issue, not just about this but about many other conflicts that have occurred in Krat.

Krat isn’t the same place that it was before and recently it shows, crime has gone way up, a new group of stalkers has formed, but these don’t care to help people, they would rather harm them, and this so-called journalist wanted to put an end to all of this.

Well, that idiot is just going to get himself killed, so Geppetto isn’t too worried about that, the man is after people with even more influence than him, and it’s not going to take long before someone reports news of his tragic suicide.

What Geppetto is worried about is leaving Carlo and Romeo alone.

“Especially you Romeo” Geppetto knows that if they try something, it’s going to be Romeo’s idea in the first place; Romeo is a good boy, but he is a little boy and little boys sometimes tend to misbehave.

As for Carlo he is more worried about him hurting himself again, but Romeo cares about Carlo and he wouldn’t let him hurt himself, Geppetto can fully trust Romeo with that.

His sons stay quiet and don’t say anything, he lets out a big sigh, Geppetto wants to believe that everything will be fine but he is worried about his little boys, it's already hard to trust them to take care of themselves, much less be left alone.

Before Geppetto leaves the house, he gives them one last stern look.

“If the two of you are going to try anything that will get you in trouble, at least have Gemini with you”

The two of them just gave him a nod, Gemini may be small but at least he has more sense than them, he could keep them safe.

——-

A few hours had passed before Romeo finally spoke up.

“Carlo we are leaving”

“Romeo daddy said-“

“I know what he said, we are leaving, this is our only chance, please” Romeo is begging Carlo with his eyes to come with him, he doesn’t want to leave him alone here, Carlo is clearly hesitant, but it makes sense their father fully has him under his spell; and Romeo knows that truly Carlo can’t take care of himself, that if he leaves with him it’s going to be hard to survive out there, but he is willing to do what it takes to protect Carlo, no matter how hard it would be.

Carlo relents and they make their preparations to leave, they pack each a small bag with supplies, they just need something to defend themselves if the worst comes, Romeo goes to his father’s workshop and finds a machete there, that would do. Carlo straps Gemini to his belt, obviously, they aren’t leaving without him, and Gemini tells them to be discreet and careful; the front door is locked from the outside but with the machete, he breaks the lock and they easily open the door, Romeo takes Carlo’s hand and they leave together.

———

Romeo and Carlo can barely recognize Krat, it’s a complete mess, it seems like everyone except the elite class of the city is having a bad time, the air is even tense, and they can tell that people are not happy about their situation.

They follow Gemini’s advice and are discreet while moving, specially because of their clothes, it’s a dead giveaway since their father obviously buys them clothes only rich spoiled brats would wear, well at least they can’t deny that the clothes are comfortable.

They are trying to get to Krat central station, and it’s hard, as their house is in the complete opposite direction, taking any mode of transportation would make them stand out but they have no choice but to keep going by foot; when Twilight has engulfed the night sky, they take a quick break, this was extremely tiring, their physical strength is not the best, both of them are underweight and constantly being sedated has taken a toll on their muscles.

Carlo and Romeo look at each other, they are worried, it’s only a matter of time before their father realizes they are gone, a part of Romeo is starting to regret this, if they are caught… he doesn’t even want to think about it, they have to keep moving forward.

As they are resting, Romeo can sense that Carlo has become tense, his body starting to shake, and he starts to cover his ears; Romeo knows him too well, and he knows that he has to comfort him. 

“Carlo, Carlo look at me” He grabs his brother and pulls him into a hug, “That's not your mother, she would never say those things to you, she loved you” 

Romeo can see that Carlo is panicking and desperately trying not to listen to her, trying to tune her out. 

“Carlo you are strong, I believe in you, please you have to calm down, you have to pull yourself together” He has to, for their own sake he has to, he can't panic here, if they are discovered here it's bad, specially since people will ask questions and no one can find out that they are alive. Romeo hugs his brother more tightly, he can hear Carlo trying to calm himself down. 

“I'm not going to cry, I'm not going to cry, I'm not going to cry”

Gemini starts chirping to get their attention, Romeo is glad he is lucid enough to understand him, he picks up Gemini from Carlo's belt and hands him to him, Carlo holds him to try and calm himself, it works, and they continue moving forward.

Eventually dark consumes the night sky, it’s almost pitch black, and most city lights are broken or are barely functional, thankfully with Gemini by their side they have a source of light, and with enough perseverance they manage to make it to Krat Central station. However there is a problem, it’s already too late, the station has just closed down, this is bad, they are going to have to wait till morning to enter.

“Romeo I feel tired,” Carlo says in a drowsy voice.

Romeo looks around, there is a beach that is thankfully illuminated by a lamp not too far from them, they make their way and Carlo sits down, Romeo is thinking of asking him to sleep there and that he would keep guard, it’s completely deserted, it’s… odd, he knows it’s late but he would figure there would be at least other people outside, but the more he is outside the more he realizes how much Krat has changed.

Gemini is chirping at them and that grabs their attention, he is telling them that maybe it’s best to find a place to hide, that this area is too exposed, Romeo agrees but unfortunately, it looks like it is already too late, someone else has noticed them.

“What’s a pair of pretty boys doing out here so late?” They turn to face that voice, it’s a stalker with a tiger mask, it’s a man probably a few years older than them, next to him is another stalker, one with a lion mask, his man is extremely muscular and very tall almost two meters tall.

Romeo can tell instantly that they mean trouble and tells Carlo to stay behind him.

“What? Are you scared of us? The man in the tiger mask said, “Well, you should be, we don’t take kindly to rich kids coming to our territory” He gave out a small laugh and continued, “So, I’ll give the two of you the benefit of the doubt and ask again, what’s a pair of pretty boys doing out here so late?

They stay quiet, no matter what they say, they can already tell that those two want to harm them.

The man with the Lion man got closer to them and drew out his weapon, but the one with the Tiger mask waved his hand to stop him, He looked like he wasn’t done talking to them.

“Oof, though crowd, why the serious faces? I’m here trying to be friendly and have a normal conversation, yet the two of you are no fun, or do you rich kids believe that you are beneath speaking with us?”

“Look, we are going to leave if that’s what the two of you want “ Romeo really hates their guts but he needs to de-escalate the situation and find a safe spot for him and Carlo.

“Mmm, I’m afraid it’s not going to work that way” The man in the tiger mask now drew his weapon, “Two young high-class men outside at this hour? Don’t tell me the two of you ran away from mommy and daddy”

Carlo looks away, Romeo wants to look away as well but he takes the machete, it looks like there is no other choice but to fight.

“Wait, don’t tell me it’s true” The Man in the Tiger mask laughed again “Why did the two of you not get what you wanted and decided to throw a tantrum? This is just perfect, we are going to have fun asking your family for the ransom money”

Despite the huge disadvantage, Romeo had the upper hand, his training as a stalker was still paying off, but in the end, there was only so much he could do, and when the machete was broken it was all over.

Carlo and Romeo were backed against a wall, literally, as the Lion mask stalker cornered them and grabbed each other with force, they didn’t like the fact that Romeo had fought back, the stalker with the Lion mask had a tight grasp, if he really wanted to, he could break their necks. 

Carlo started to cry, he started to call for daddy, he was scared, Carlo closed his eyes, he didn’t want to face this, he didn’t want to think about this, he wanted daddy to save them.

This was a mistake, this was a huge mistake, Romeo cursed himself for being so stupid, for trying to act tough, he should have been a good boy and listened.

The two stalkers are mocking them but there is nothing they can do. Romeo closes his eyes as well and starts to cry, he starts to ask daddy to save them, daddy always made everything better, and he wants daddy to be there.

The Lion stalker kept adding pressure, they both felt like they were running out of air.

…

A loud bang echoed through the empty streets; Romeo and Carlo felt the grasp lose, falling to the ground.

“What the-“They heard the voice of the tiger stalker but then, another loud bang, it was very close, and they could now smell the gunpowder left behind by the bullets.

Calo and Romeo opened their eyes, their daddy was in front of them, he had a gun in his hand, and his face and parts of his clothes were covered in the blood of the now-dead stalkers, who had been shot in the back of their heads.

They ran up to him and hugged him, desperately not wanting to let go, their crying had begun to be more intense, in between sobs they were apologizing, Romeo more so than Carlo, he was begging for forgiveness.

Geppetto wanted to comfort them, but they needed to leave right away.

The only way they can get caught is if they are seen by someone, and the streets being empty were in their favor, no one would miss those two, clearly, they were trouble, they got lucky, and a police investigation sure won’t happen, it would become a close case rather quickly, this is how Krat is now, this is why he doesn’t want to let them outside, it’s dangerous, it’s cruel and unforgiving.

Back home Carlo and Romeo fell asleep almost instantly, exhausted from what transpired.

Geppetto cleaned himself and let out a deep sigh, he knew this would happen, that’s why he told them to take Gemini, they didn’t know that Gemini had a tracker on him, hell not even Gemini is aware of that.

When he went to bed with them, he pulled each of them closer to him, he was shaking, he was scared, he almost lost them again, they could have died, had he not been there just in time his two sons would have been dead. Geppetto began to cry, it was too much for him, he knew they would try and run away but he didn’t know things would end up so badly.

He can’t let this happen ever again, he needs to make sure that they won’t leave him again.

He needs to start showing them why he knows best for them.

I love crazy, unhinged women (you) & I hope you know anons like the one about drugs know nothing. If anything, you are an advocate. 💜

i jus screeched but thank you anon 🫂 i too am a fan of unhinged and frankly, insufferable women! and this is probably not a convo you meant to start, but i always think it’s funny that women in media who are considered unhinged and difficult, often are jus incredibly vocal and internally wounded women. get ready for an insane ramble (im walking btw so if none of this makes sense ignore it)

as much as i joke about my own behaviours, i’ve always been the first to own my (many) flaws! it’s why i can’t stand this talk about romanticism of drugs or whateva, cah when have i ever tried to get yous to live the life i’ve had? id be heartbroken if yous did like! and i get angry cah it’s also like? i’ve been very open about numerous things, about how even as early as primary school i went from the girl who scored well, wanted to be a doctor and almost always had friends running to her for help but also had an incredible temper problem became ONLY that. i only became the problem child and nobody questioned why! i’ve been open about extensive sexual assault/trauma, despite keeping details and things as a whole to myself, i’ve never hidden that it’s a part of me. it’s driven the hypersexual nature we all joke about, it’s (probably) driven the various kinks we’ve sometimes talked about, and i don’t mind joking about it as long as it’s not flung in my face after in the name of??? idk. i’ve always said yep i did heaps of drugs for quite a few years and that was… not healthy?? i shouldn’t even have to clarify that and i’ve also spoken so much about how i drop from the face of the earth, maybe do some drugs, and come back like nothing happened! i’ve always been open (to an extent) about my past : sa, abusive parents, forced into being an adult too young, my ex literally beating the shit outta me like 😭 do yous think i’m like this for fun!!!!! it’s also why i get incredibly annoyed at this whole “bully” thing that was pushed by random anons for months at a time cah truly, yous seen any woman with a bark and a bite and scream bully!!!! when they’re really jus not taking your shit. i’ve always said that i have insane anger and temper management issues, that i was literally forced into therapy for EARLY. like young as fuck. and i STILL do not have anywhere near the amount of control i need to have, it’s an active working thing. i don’t mind anons like you, i don’t mind anons who poke fun at my abrasive nature or aggression, but it does make me a little ??? when i get asks framing me to be a terrible person 😭 im not perfect!!!! im quick to anger, quick to lash out and yes, i absolutely can be defensive in the way of : let me hurt you before you hurt me. but i also think i get painted as JUST that. it seems like half my anons these days want to be mad about something they’ve made up? as much as yous can laugh and sometimes have a go at my anger problems, i have to remind yous all that i have to live with that anger and constant tug of war daily. it’s not fun being like that either! i’ve gained sooo much self control and i don’t think half of those angry anons see that.

and i have to remind yous, as bad as some of you might think i am, i have friends on here that can testify im not all bad all the time. i have sides that some anons ignore, and it’s frustrating when it’s like… okay?? one of my literal best friends - hey @zalimaaa - is someone who yous KNOW wouldn’t be friends with me if i was half as bad as yous seem to think (not to drag her into this) 😭 she’s always been what i am not : gracious and classy at all times, even to people who don’t deserve it but she’s always stood up for what’s right (she’s done it in a better way than me!) im not a monster!!!!!! im loyal to the bone, always there for my friends and i’d do anything for them. unhinged women are not jus their negative traits <3 it also falls incredibly flat when the same anons trying to call me a bully are actively saying things like “african scum” !!!!!! (which is why i believe it’s all the same 2-3 people, especially since some of them seem extremely angry whenever my hatred for pigs comes up)

my point is jus that i really appreciate anons like yours, who can at the very least have a fun airy convo about it and not make it out like im a complete insanity case cah… close but not quite there yet. yous have had quite a few years of knowing me online to know that i’ve got a few screws loose but a brain still exists! 🤨💘💓🫁
