I do love that I'm both freezing and having the worst back pains.
But at least I still have a roof above my head, right?
#personal#so here's the thing:#i don't think any of the radiators in my apartment are currently working#which kind of sucks bc it's winter in northern europe lmao#one of them had blown a fuse. which i changed yesterday. and now it's cold again. so there's definitely something wrong with it#two of them. which are located in my bedroom/living room combination. have red lights on#but they are both cold and not heating up my apartment. which means i'm freezing here#so it could be a thermostat or something. i don't know#but because my place was a mess. after having worked for a few months and not having energy to do anything else#i had to clean up here yesterday. because i couldn't call my landlord who lives closeby in case he decided to drop in and see#the mess i was living in. to you know. check on those radiators#so anyway. my apartment is pretty okay now. stuff i still need to clean though but it's mostly minor#but i seem to have strained my lower back doing it. or from sleeping in an awkward position because i was cold#the kind of pain i haven't experienced in months which must be a record for me now#but yeah now my lower back hurts. i can't properly crouch or even twist my body to the side without my knees trying to give out#and i've already taken painkillers for it today. which kind of put me to sleep again and had a lovely little nap a while ago#but this is bothersome#i hope my back feels better by tomorrow so i can finish my cleaning and then message my landlord#because i don't want to freeze here anymore xD and i also don't want my houseplants dying because of it so

that back. |R.R|
Tumblr media
heyyyyyyyy. this is dedicated to @harmshake for inspiring me. love ya twin. ty always <3 ty for getting me out my funk and inspiring me.
and @shes2real. loveeeeeee ur fics. gotta go check em out if you haven’t.
warnings: pure smut. no plot. nun. just freakayyyyy. no one under 18.
parings: roman reigns x black!reader
“ah!” your fresh manicured white toes popped as your leg laid over your man’s shoulder
“i know, babygirl, i know…” he sighed into your neck as his hips continued to snap towards your pussy, “been a good girl all day for me…gotta give my baby her reward.”
roman loved being vocal during sex. he loved making your head spin and your heart swell with his words making you speechless. well…you were already speechless but yk what i mean.
he grabbed you other leg hiking it up further around his waist allowing you to feel him deeper, “why are y—you fucking me like this?” you strain latching your hand onto his back, digging ur nails into it attempting to relive the pressure in your center
“why not? tight ass pussy always ready for me. you hear her crying for me? let me show her daddy’s home.”
squelching noises echoed from around the room. you could feel yourself dripping down roman’s dick right onto the bed sheets creating a wet spot. your pussy swollen and worn out yet still squeezing down on him pulling him back inside for more. he loved you like this for him—a babbling, dizzy, dick drunk mess. you loved it even more.
he pampered you in and out of the bed room; this all starting from coming home to a hot bath waiting with candles and pink rose petals scattered around. you let him wash your body down, an intimate act all too familiar, before his washcloth covered hand got closer towards ur aching pussy—washing rubbing you there letting the heat from the cloth bring you towards your first orgasm of the night. you both quickly took it to somewhere it wouldn’t turn into a slip n’ slide…well?
that familiar feeling for the 4th time tonight pulsed inside your belly again ready to gush out onto your man’s dick.
“shit! You gotta stop scratchin’ me baby…” he hissed before throwing ur legs over his arms, pushing them towards either side of your head
his movements sped him, continuing to dig at your pussy making a mess in the middle of your thighs. bad choice.
you lived for your man’s back. the way his body loomed over yours like a shield felt nearly romantic. and it was beautiful to say the least. you knew if you kept leaving marks, he’d kill you for it in the morning. he’d have to cover up again, which would make him loose out on money. roman knew his fan base, the ladies wanted what they wanted. but fuck those hoes…you’d give them something to stare at for-sure now. you’d carve ur name with your nails if you could.
your nails caved inwards again in his skin dragging all around to relieve both the pain and pleasure your man was creating with the swivel of his hips. the vein in his dick pulsing against ur spot with the new stroke. your hips attempting to buck into the mattress to escape the new rhythm.
“you feel me baby? right in that pussy? right where i need to be, baby. you wetting it up so good baby. i’m not stopping till you cum on it.”
“f-fu-uckkk! i can’t roman, ah!” you sobbed out sinking ur teeth into his shoulder. your pussy clenching and unclenching, his dick desparate to find its hiding place in your pussy.
“why not baby? fuckin’ good ass pussy. gimme what i want, babygirl. get that nut.” he roared into your ear
not for the first time, you felt the white flash behind ur eyes as heat radiated from ur toes right towards your pussy. with a loud whine of incoherent words, your cum gushed out around roman’s still thrusting cock now with a new layer of your cum coating it, fucking your through it. you let out a mixture of screams and sobs as he chased his nut, fucking into you faster, the stimulation becoming too much to bare. your nails scratching roman anywhere it could, clawing at him.
“where can i cum baby? where you want it at?”
“in my pussy..” you whimper out hoarsely
“nah, speak up. Where you want it at, baby? i can come in this pussy? My pussy?”
“in my pussy! fuck! cum in meeee, roman. cum in me, pleaseeee.” you beg with a pout, he leaned down connecting your lips together. his strokes becoming erratic before you felt the long hot spurts of his cum spraying your walls.
“shit! fuck! i can’t stop, baby. ahh!” he moaned in your ear as his thrust slowed down. your breaths both racing to pull it back into your lungs
roman continued to feed you small soft thrust before pulling out. he eased your legs of your shoulders to watch the mixture of your cum oozing out of your pussy and dribble onto the bed sheets. he lowered a thumb to your clit to rub small circles, causing your pussy to convulse and push his cum out in bubbled pools. after, he used his thumb to finger fuck it back into you with a small whimper, he got up to grab a towel to clean you off.
“damn, baby!” you hear him call out from the dark bathroom
“what?” you strain out, still trying to catch your heart rate back to normal
“we gotta invest in some gloves or something for you, when we fuckin’ baby girl.” he reemerged from the bathroom with a towel in hand. you took the time to notice all the bright red scratches that coated his tanned arms, and the teeth marks in his neck. he did a small spin, to show you his back.
he damn near looked fresh out of a TLC match.
“shouldn’t have been fuckin’ me like that than.”

perfect wife
Tumblr media
words: 1.9k
warnings: 18+ only, smut, p in v sex, unprotected sex, breeding, mating press, established relationship, marriage, housewife stuff? cooking and cleaning
taglist: @drewstarkeyslut @thelomlisrafecameron @f4ll-for-you @dilvcv @drudyslut @drewsbabygirll @jjmaybankswifes-blog @rafescokenostril @jjsmarijuana @jjmaybankisbae @seeingstarks @angelofcigs @cece45450 @babygorewhore @vanessa-rafesgirl @michelleisheres-blog
it’s not that you enjoy cleaning all the time, but you get in certain moods, when your energy level is high and you got enough sleep the night before, that you absolutely love to clean, especially satisfying deep cleans.
today happens to be one of those days, and ever since you woke up, smiling at the note that rafe left you on his pillow, wishing you a good morning and saying he regretted not being there with you upon waking up, but also couldn’t bear rousing you from your sleep when he had to leave for work. it makes your heart flutter to see it signed not by his name but rather ‘from, your husband.’
you’ve been married to rafe for two whole months now, and it feels like a fairytale, somehow even better than being his girlfriend. you feel like a truly good wife as you already scrubbed all the bathrooms spotless before 10 am, and are now working on the common areas before hopefully cleaning the bedroom before rafe gets home from work.
you hum along to the music you have playing throughout the house wide sound system as you wipe down dusty surfaces, taking care to clean all the little crevices that normally get missed. 
time flies and before you realize, your stomach starts to grumble as noon rolls by. you take a pause from your work, having just finished the living room, and move into the kitchen, deciding to make yourself some food before getting to cleaning.
you love to bake, but cooking is not your favorite thing, so you make yourself something simple before you get a spark of creativity, making a stew to simmer so it would be ready by the time rafe got home around dinner. you finish your meal, having disregarded it halfway through to make the stew. 
you clean the kitchen while stirring occasionally before it gets to the point that you can lower the temperature and walk away, now off to clean the bedroom. you grab rafes hamper, filled with clean clothes that he didn’t have time to put away last night, too busy kissing and cuddling with you in bed.
you dump them onto the freshly washed bedsheets, taking the time and care to crisply fold everything or hang up what went on hangers. you even spend some time organizing rafes closet. he kept it pretty clean already, but you wanted to make everything perfect.
you run downstairs to check your stew before continuing onto your closet, it being a much bigger mess than rafes. you have a terrible habit of trying on clothes, deciding its not want you want to wear for the day, and tossing it onto the floor instead of putting it properly away.
“baby!” you hear rafe shout just as you finish up. you quickly flatten your hands over the comforter on the bed, smoothing out any creases to make the room truly flawless before you rush down the stairs, greeting your husband with a kiss as your arms loop around his shoulders.
“something smells good.” rafe says, taking a sniff of the entryway, the smell of the stew having radiated throughout the whole house.
“i made you food.” you tell him, smoothing your hands over his shoulders, keeping your body close to his having missed him all day. “it should be ready in about 30 minutes, just enough time for you to shower.” you know rafes routine well enough, he liked to shower right when he got home from work, to wash the day away.
“you’re the most perfect wife ever.” rafe bends his head to press kisses to your neck, making you giggle when he focuses on your ticklish spot.
“go shower!” you shoo him away, wanting him to have the soup when it is nice and hot.
“love you, honey.” rafe kisses your cheek before heading up the stairs. you echo the words back to him before heading towards the kitchen to check on the stew, but pause when you hear rafe calling your name from your bedroom.
you rush up the stairs, worried that you maybe accidentally threw something out that was important or moved something and he didn’t know where it was.
“what is it rafey?” you question, eyes wide as you see him looking around the room.
“you cleaned all this while i was at work? and put away my laundry?” rafe questions, seeing that even the baseboards have been cleaned of the bit of dust that always collects on them.
you give a shrug. “i like cleaning for you.” “you know you don’t have to do all this baby.” rafe moves to wrap his arms around your waist. “i mean i appreciate it, but don’t feel like you’re required to now that we are married.” “i know.” you smile, cupping his jaw in your hands. “i seriously just wanted to.” “okay.” rafe nods, satisfied with your answer. he knows you get little bursts of cleaning, but doesn’t want you to get the wrong impression about your role, even if you do stay home while he is at work.
“go shower.” you press a kiss to rafes lips before leaving him in the bedroom, smirking to yourself knowing that he’s about to see that you cleaned the bathroom as well.
you return to the stovetop, stirring everything together before preparing the final touches, even setting out the perfect silverware for the occasion, choosing the dining room for such a meal rather than the island where you and rafe usually eat.
you jump when rafe enters the kitchen. he always moves so quietly through the house that it catches you off guard.
“god, if we weren’t already married i would propose to you all over again right now.” rafe wraps his arms around your waist as you work on ladling the stew into individual bowls, deciding to keep the rest in the pot on the stove for easy splitting up into tupperware later.
“i like making food for you.” you hum. “don’t expect it all the time though, i also love getting take out.”
rafe laughs and nods his head in agreement, you have a habit of ordering food at least two times a week, making it a tradition on fridays to watch an episode of tv while you eat in the living room.
“let me carry them in.” rafe stops you before you can carry the bowls yourself, picking them up and following you into the dining room.
you blow on your spoon to cool the stew as rafe begins to eat, commentating over and over how delicious it is, even going so far as to moan and roll his eyes back into his head, but when you take a bite you can’t help but admit that it’s very good.
“when we finish eating-” rafe says after a few minutes of silence, too engrossed in your meal. “i’m going to take you upstairs and fuck you.” “rafe!” you giggle at the sudden lewdness.
“i’m serious, baby. i need to after you did all this cleaning, put away my laundry and made me food? i need to put a baby in you immediately.” 
“well… hurry up and get back to eating.” you gesture to rafe. you talked about having kids after marriage, but this was the first time since your wedding that rafe brought up actually bringing them into the world.
you both rush through the rest of your meals, leaving the dishes on the table to be taken care of tomorrow as rafe sweeps you into his arms, carrying you up the stairs with ease. he sets you down on the bed, his lips connecting with yours as he works on taking off his pants, throwing them in the general direction of his hamper before pulling away to pull your shirt off over your head.
“i can’t fucking wait to see you all filled up with my kid.” rafe says, massaging your breasts through your bra, unable to keep his hands off of them, even to take off the fabric covering them.
“need that so bad, rafey.” you whimper. you’ve always wanted to be a mom, and it feels like the perfect time to make that dream a reality.
“gotta fuck you now, princess.” rafe says, quickly taking his shirt off, his cock already completely hard as he pulls his underwear down, clearly excited to put a baby into you.
you reach behind your back to take your bra off before sliding your leggings and underwear down in one go, needing rafe just as desperately as he needs you. you move up the bed, resting your head on the pillow as rafe moves to hover over you. 
“i would eat you out or finger you but i need this right now.” rafe says, reaching down to rub at your clit as his tip presses against your entrance.
“i need you right now too.” you tell him, letting out a moan as he pushes in, moving slowly to let you adjust. you wrap your arms around his shoulders, rafes chest heaving with deep breaths, trying to control himself.
“you can move.” you tell rafe after a minute. he doesn’t give even a second for your comment to sit before he is thrusting in and out, making your joint moans echo throughout the room.
rafe presses sloppy kisses against yours, lips vibrating together when you’re both unable to hold back your noises of pleasure. “feels so good.” you whimper, his thumb still rubbing against your clit, never stopping making you feel good.
“i know it does, princess.” rafe says. “you’re doing so good for me. gonna fill you up real good.” “you’re gonna be the best daddy.” you tell rafe, and its true, you know just from the way he treats you, how he straightened out and takes care of you, that he’s going to be an amazing dad.
“fuck-” rafe curses, somehow able to move faster, slamming in and out of you, annihilating your cunt with the ferocity he is thrusting into you at. rafe is grunting with the effort he is giving as you grip his shoulders tightly, sure to leave red marks from your nails come morning.
“gonna go fucking crazy, your pussy is so good.” rafe says, as if he hasn’t already gone crazy with the way he’s fucking into you.
“keep rubbing rafe, i’m close.” you moan, back arching off the bed as his thumb rubs over your clit easily due to your slick.
“cum for me princess.” rafe begs you, needing to feel your cunt squeeze around him. you’d never deny your husband as he rubs you to orgasm, entire body shaking as your high hits you, moaning wildly as rafes cock maintains its blistering pace.
as soon as your clit pulses underneath his finger and your back settles back against the bed, rafe moves, pulling out briefly to reposition you, slotting his hands underneath your knees and pushing your legs up and open, spreading your cunt wide for him before his cock reenters you.
he begins to thrust immediately, keeping up the aggressive, feral pace. you’re so sensitive from your orgasm but you can’t complain when you know he’s working to get his cum inside of you, to fill you up, to grow your family.
“gonna cum.” rafe warns briefly, his words slurred out, his eyes half lidded from the ecstasy of your cunt as he pushes in for a final time, shooting his cum as deep as he can, leaning forward and pressing you into the mattress, not even caring as your thighs burn from the stretch.
rafe grinds himself into you until there is nothing more to release, moving your legs back to a more comfortable position but keeping his dick buried deep inside of you.
rafe looks at you with a smile, his sweaty hair sticking to his forehead. “gotta make sure it takes.”

For the teen!Ghost au, has there ever been a time where Price hasn’t come home? A mission gone badly and he gets injured? Maybe Nik has to handle the fort for a little while on his own because Price is trapped in the hospital?
(Also Roach is a precious bby)
———
John getting hurt bad enough he had to go straight to the hospital. He was unconscious or just unable to call home to tell Nik or the kids that he won’t be coming home that night. So Kate has to call, and she didn’t know enough to know that John would be fine after a minor surgery to correct whatever injury he obtained.
She calls Nik and tells him that John was in the hospital after a mission with south, and that she doesn’t know much about the situation or his condition. It was enough to make Nik’s blood run cold and him to be near hysterics. But Nik’s a professional and he was able to keep a mask up and keep the truth from the kids.
But they knew something was wrong. Dad wasn’t home when he was supposed to be, they hadn’t heard anything from him and Nik was being too quiet. The fact he wasn’t acting worried made them worry.
“Where’s Dad?”
“He’s held up at work. He’s not sure when he’ll be home.”
Nik never felt so much anxiety before, especially in the comfort of his own home. All it took was a phone call and now he felt so out of control. The hospital where John was hadn’t been disclosed with him, Kate hasn’t called and gave him any updates. For all he knew John was dead. And there wasn’t nothing he could do but stay home and care for the kids and animals.
There was nothing else he could do.
Simon and Kyle were not handling this well. Of course they knew something was wrong. They’ve always been anxious boys, and now their dad was missing. Farah was harder to read but Nik could tell this was affecting her as well. She was worried, scared. She was good at hiding how she felt, but he could see her fidget and watch her phone, waiting for a phone call from John.
They were all torn up about this, terrified of what the next call will bring. Nik couldn’t sleep for those two days of silence. He just laid in bed or just rested on the couch, hoping the front door would open and John would come in. He couldn’t speak on the subject with the kids, and he knew that made everything worse.
Kate finally stopped by when the boys were at school and Farah was at work. Nik had to do everything he could to keep himself calm when she walked up the driveway and to their door. He was expecting the worst, he was expecting having to tell the kids the worst thing he could imagine. Having to handle paperwork to become the boys’ legal guardian. Fuck- Pull strings to make it where they stayed with him if that wasn’t possible.
He was expecting the worst and it showed. And Kate blinked when she noticed the stress practically radiating off of him.
“God- He’s fine, Nik.”
Nik felt relief flood him, tears wanting to spill. Then he yelled.
“WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME?!”
“Don’t you dare yell at me! This has been the most hellish week of my life! I’ve been having to clean up John’s mess and practically live at my office, not having a moment without someone calling me- Are you crying?”
He did start crying. And Kate had him sit down and coached him through what had to be his first panic attack in years. And once he was calm she was able to explain everything that had happened and where John had been. Both him and Kate had been practically isolated after their intel went sour.
John, having been the most hands on in it, was put through debriefings, meetings, and picked apart by his superiors the moment he came out of surgery. He wasn’t allowed to call anyone until SAS was sure he had nothing to do with everything going wrong at once.
“He’s coming home tonight. He asked me to check on you before I headed home.”
Nik felt stress and relief flow intertwined, his heart pulling every which way. John was coming home, and he wanted to strangle him for making him worry. He didn’t strangle him when he saw him get dropped off. Nik instead swung the front door open before he even made it onto the porch and grabbed him and pulled him into a fierce hug. John squawked when he was grabbed but didn’t fight him, just slumped against him, exhausted.
“Missed ya, too,” he had muttered against his shoulder. John could have easily fallen asleep right there, in Nik’s arms.
He wouldn’t get a chance to, however. Once Riley started barking, the house came alive and John wouldn’t know peace for the next few weeks. A small price to pay for the worry he had put his family through.

JOEY/ANA LUCIA CRUZ — Spring Writings 🩵
Tumblr media
A/N: because I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t get inspired by a horror film. This isn’t anything big since I’m “supposed” to be on a writing break but I’ve been in the mood for something domestic lately so here you go 🙂‍↔️
PROMPT is from HERE & I’m using: 2.       “Why did I let you remodel the bathroom?”
.☘︎ ݁˖⚘‎₊˚⊹ 𐦍༘⋆₊ ⊹ .☘︎ ݁˖⚘‎₊˚⊹ 𐦍༘⋆₊ ⊹ .☘︎ ݁˖⚘‎₊˚⊹ 𐦍༘⋆₊ ⊹ .☘︎ ݁˖⚘‎₊˚
Joey’s in a mood.
When she wakes up, she’s already aware of the type of time she was on. The room feels like it’s spinning even when she’s laying in bed, the light from her phone to check the time only makes her head feel heavier, and when she pushes herself up into a sitting position in bed she feels as if she’s going to tipple right over onto the floor.
She figures she’s been coming down with something these past few days but did all the proper care the minute she felt unwell. She was a medic, she knows what to do and what her body should feel like. She also didn’t want her sickness to interfere with any time she got to spend with her son. It was baby steps bonding with her son and not to mention her hard-ass of a mother but Joey made a promise to herself to put in the work.
Giving herself time, she’s out of bed and making her way down the hallway which feels like one of those walkthroughs with the strobe lights at the museum. Now that she’s on her feet, she feels as if her body is about to cave in from rattling against the cold. Her shoulders are turned inwards as she uses the wall for leverage to make it to the bathroom. Joey doesn’t bother to feel for the light and just wants to find the toilet, which isn’t far from the entrance, but she doesn’t see the pair of feet stretched out that sends her flying through the bathroom towards where the shower wall should be, that her hands have to reach out for support as she slams to the floor.
She’s hissing at the pain that radiates from her hip and down her femur. Through half lidded eyes she glances around, fingers pressed into her forehead in aggravation as well as discomfort. “Y/n?! Are you fucking serious? Why are you on the floor in the dark?!”
You’re sitting up now, “I see better in the dark remember? That fall looked like it hurt, you good?”
Joey scoffs, “no! I’m not good, I just busted my ass because of what?”
She listens carefully as you clink a wrench against the side of the toilet and her blood feels like it’s simmering as she recalls the reason for your actions, “…Why did I let you remodel the bathroom?”
“To save us money, duh.” You respond as you get up to head over to the brunette.
You hold out your hand, waiting for Joey to find your hand in the dark so you can pull her up. It’s much quicker than anticipated but you help her to her feet anyway. Now she’s moving around you to flick the dim lighting of the room on and gets a good look of the small space. The tub was no longer a tub—being broken down and leaving a mess all along the floor, there were multiple paint swatches on the wall, the mirror above the sink was still in tact along with the toilet.
Joey blinks, “aren’t vampires supposed to be wealthy? Why not have someone else do it for you?”
You cackle, which always sounds like windchimes.
“My carpenter of a father didn’t leave shit behind for us and always expected us to work for our own…just imagine how disappointed he was to hear that his eldest daughter wanted to be a cellist for a living—which was somewhat satisfactory centuries ago. Then my mother? A complete gambler? it would be a miracle for us siblings to even see a hundred dollars. I have the skill so I can do it and you’ll thank me later once my craft leaves you stunned.” You bounced on your toes with a grin while Joey just shook her head.
She never thought after what happened at the manor that she would ever interact with vampires again. Foolish woman. Yet you came along months later when Joey was trying to get her life together and all of a sudden she had a new roommate. Who happened to be a damn vampire! You tricked her and although her guard should have been up, you swore you didn’t want to drink her dry—stating that you weren’t a fan of AB negative blood—you still threw that threat around that you would although it happened to be a empty threat.
Joey was still aware of the strength that you had. And living with a vampire wasn’t so bad until now, with you renovating and her forgetting the crime scene you committed days ago in this same bathroom. You liked to keep the hunts outside of the apartment since the clean up took up quite a lot of time and the stench stained your nails that you had to stop seeing your manicurist and do it yourself! To put it simply, matters went left that night all because of your fling Klaus and Joey came home a lot sooner than expected! You’ve noticed that Joey’s been under the weather a lot lately, being in a brain fog that she seemed to be forgetting things, cold, and sleeping a lot more.
She didn’t relapse, which was great considering everything she told you one late night when she couldn’t sleep. The pack of lollipops were commonly on the list to pick up but as long as she kept up with her meetings and dentist appointments then there shouldn’t be anything to worry about, right?
I know you didn’t believe that.
“Every time you say that, that always equals another outcome,” Joey’s gripping the sides of the sink now and exhales.
You twist your body back and forth as you innocently say, “not sure what you mean buttercup—
“Ugh, shut up! Don’t do the pet names, it makes me nauseous.”
You lightly ask, “Are you pregnant?”
“What the hell did you just say?” Joey is baffled as her head whips to where you stand.
“Just a thought.” You lift your shoulders, “i thought you hit it off with…shit I’m so bad with names.”
“The guy that you forgot to mention was a fucking mutant? I don’t even know what’s worse a mutant or a vampire?!” Joey growled before taking a deep breath after glancing at you pouting at her, “You don’t need to worry about my love life, what you need to worry about is us having a functioning bathroom!”
You point the wrench in the direction of the said item, “the toilet and sink still work. I didn’t mess with the pipes yet! And as your roommate and best friend you’ve ever had or only had—it’s my job to make sure you’re spicing things up.”
Joey lifts a brow, “you think I need a man of a mutant to do that?”
“…if that’s what you prefer, unless you state otherwise…” you place your hand on your hip in anticipation.
Joey huffs, “I’m not doing this with you this morning—
“It’s one pm.” You inform but pull your lips together as Joey glares at you with her dark downturned eyes.
“Could you leave the bathroom so I can actually use it?” Joey manages to get out, feeling a chill and a turn of her stomach wash over her body.
You nod, “sure! Do you think it’s roughly going to be a five minute sesh or forty five because I can get started on dinner or brunch?”
Joey picks at the back of your shirt, actually lifting you off your feet to walk you out of the bathroom, tossing you a bit into the adjacent hallway wall, before slamming the door behind you.
“That wasn’t pleasant,” you sharply exhale as you fix your shirt and make your way down the hallway.
You pass by the kitchen, through the living room to your bedroom which you leave the door open just a crack as you plop down onto your bed belly first. Reaching for the copper rotary, your fingers rotate against the numbers before the ringing begins in your ear.
“Hammy! How are ya? Are we still on for dinner tonight? My friend is getting worse and could really use your help.” You keep your voice leveled just in cause those senses kicked in too.
No matter what Joey thought, you were friends and you only wanted what was best for her.
This life was just not that, in your opinion.
You had to prepare for the worst before she was even aware of what this all was. However tonight with the visit of Abraham, would open her eyes some more unfortunately.

Your last uncle!percy fic was EVERYTHING and I was wondering if you could write another one in the same universe where reader and Luke go out on a date so Percy and annabeth babysit? And maybe more interaction with Percy and reader? Feel free to make it your own juts thanks so so much for your contribution to the Luke lovers with that last one you posted haha
Date Night
MASTERLIST
word count: 1000
pairing: luke castellan x posiedon!reader
warnings: none!
a/n: icl Luke is kinda a minor character in this one, and i chose to just have Percy in it coz i felt like it made more sense?? idk hope you enjoyed love u anon
“Ok, so, dinner’s in the fridge, as well as formula for Violet. James normally goes to bed at 8, but I told him he can stay up later if he wants.” 
You explained, as you flitted around the kitchen with a list in one hand and a clutch in the other. Your brother followed after you with an attentive expression on his face. 
Tonight was you and Luke’s first date night since Violet was born, and you had been looking forward to it for weeks. You’d spent the last two hours getting ready, and now it was just a matter of making sure everything was prepared for your favourite babysitter, Percy. 
You stood at the door, peering down at the list while you husband sat on the stairs, tying his shoelaces. 
“Honey, did I forget anything?”
“Hm, did you tell him about the thermostat?”
“Oh, shit yeah.” You turned to Percy, “The thermostat is broken, so if you need to turn on the radiators or anything you’ll have to do it by hand, but I mean, it’s summer so you shouldn’t need to.” 
“Ok cool. Sounds good.” 
“Alright. I think that’s everything. You have a good night, and call if you need anything or have any questions-!”
You were about to go on another spiel about caring for your youngest daughter's specific needs when your husband swept an arm around your waist and practically dragged you out of the apartment. 
“Thanks man, see you at 11!” Luke shouted, giving Percy a quick thumbs up before shutting the door behind you both. 
“Why’d you push me out!” You asked as you both began making your way down the stairs.
“Coz you need to trust your little brother and relax. He’s a good guy.” 
“I know that.” You pouted, “But I also know that he can be a bit scatterbrained sometimes, the boy needs detailed instructions.”
“That’s exactly my point babe. He’s not a boy anymore.”
“God don’t remind me. It makes me feel old.” 
“Sorry. You're not old. Now, stop stressing about Percy and enjoy the date night you incredible husband has so kindly planned out.”
You giggled lightly, rolling your eyes, but agreeing nonetheless.
*
The date went perfectly, and you were back by 10. When you walked inside the house, you were pleasantly surprised to see that it was still standing, and your son hadn’t managed to cause a mess while you were gone like he usually did. 
Luke went up to check on Violet, meanwhile you made your way into the living room, where you could still hear the low hum of the TV in the background. 
In the room, you could see your brother, and your son curled up on the sofa, both of them fast asleep, and snoring slightly. On the TV Cars were playing (James’ favourite), and on the table there were a few mostly empty bowls of snacks. 
You laughed quietly, remembering the movie nights you and Percy had had all those years ago. 
After you left Camp half blood to go to college, he’d come over to your house a few times during the school year, in which you’d have movie marathons, pillow fights, and intense mario kart competitions. 
It’d always end the same, with the both of you passing out on the couch at 2 in the morning, cheeto dust covering your fingers and popcorn kernels all over the floor. 
They were some of your favourite times with your half-brother, when you could forget the worry of getting killed by monsters or the like, and have fun with your only sibling. 
“Hey, Perce.” You whispered, shaking him slightly. It didn’t take much to wake him, and soon his eyes were fluttering open. 
“Oh, Y/N. You’re back already?” 
“Yeah, it’s 11:30.”
“Really?!” He asked, loudly, and you quickly shushed him, pointing to the sleeping child beside him. 
Percy slapped his hand over his mouth, mumbling apologies. You rolled your eyes at him, helping the man off the sofa and leading him out of the living room and towards the spare bedroom (aka Luke’s office).
“You can stay here tonight if you want? It’s pretty late.” 
Your statement was confirmed by a loud yawn from Percy, to which he begrudgingly nodded. 
You directed him to sit in the nearby armchair whilst you grabbed the sheets from the cupboard and began to make up the bed for him. 
“How was James?” 
“We had a great time. He’s a good kid y’know?”
“Yeah.”
“It reminds me of our old movie nights.” He said, his voice slightly wistful. He had always been so sentimental, just like you. 
“Funny. I was thinking the same thing.” 
“Do you remember that time we got snowed in?” He asked, laughing lightly at the memory. 
“Of course! And the snow was so high the pizza delivery man had to climb in through the window!”
You both erupted into fits of giggles and you had to pause in your bed-making to finish laughing. 
“I really appreciate everything you did for me, Y/N.” He declared suddenly, staring off into space. 
“I didn’t do that much Perce. You give me too much credit.” 
“No, I really mean it. You did your best to give me a normal childhood, and looked after me like I was your real brother.” 
You frowned, “You are my real brother. Just like James is your real nephew. And I helped you because you were a good kid who deserved it. You earned the life you have now. We all did.” 
He broke into a bright grin at that, standing up from the armchair to give you a big hug. You could still remember when he was so much smaller than you, just a kid. Now he was an adult, and taller than you (although that mop of curly hair gave him some extra height). Still, despite how tall he got, you were certain he’d always be your little brother.
“Thanks Y/N.”
“No problem kid.”

The ask game
Zuma please
Tumblr media
Two asked for Zuma. This pup is so loved. Why can't Spin Master see this. Hey Spin, hey Nick, re-stock Zuma merch in Brasil please I'm begging, if it's not selling in other countries, bring all that over here bc we're out of stock and there are children crying--
My first impression - Oh, they have a plain brown pup without marks or anything. That's... Oddly cool. Also he tastes like orange flavored chocolate.
My impression now - MY PRECIOUS SON TOO PURE FOR THIS WORLD, the show runners may not appreciate you BUT THE FANDOM DOES, DON'T WORRY--
Favorite thing about that character - He's always so chill and in a good mood. He radiates good vibes but is also very balanced as he gets serious sometimes too. It got to the point I legit associate the sea with him, it's not just for being the water rescue pup, I SEE the sea in him. Chill but also UNHINGED and free.
Least favorite thing - The color. Orange, I mean. It's one of my least favorite colors and he's making me wear orange in the near future as soon as I'm done painting a t-shirt of him for myself. Oh the things I do for my favorite characters, as if it wasn't bad enough I'm wearing orange in a Camp Half-Blood shirt too.
Favorite line/scene - SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE WHO DIDN'T WATCH THE MIGHTY MOVIE YET---- Dude, I LOVED the fact he was the chosen one to put an end to Victoria when they had to share the one Crystal they had. It could have been any other pup but Ryder was like HAVE AT HER, ZUMA. AND HAVE AT HER HE DID. Oh boy he was LIVING HIS MOMENT there. Peak badassery. Favorite scene so far, he was awesome there, he had fun tricking her around, he messed her up SO GOOD.
Favorite interaction that character has with another - I could go on all day with several moments between him and Rocky but-- I just recently saw him and Marshall windsurfing together AND IT WARMED MY HEART IN A WAY I CAN'T DESCRIBE????? I know it was for the plot so Marshall could do something else later in the episode BUT STILL, IT WAS SUCH A NICE THING TO SEE
A character that I wish that character would interact with more - Rocky, Liberty and Cap'n Turbot. I want Cap'n Turbot to teach him more about the ocean life. They could have so many adventures together too, we wouldn't feel like Zuma's left out all the time if we would at least see him interacting on the regular with Cap'n Turbot.
Another character from another fandom that reminds me of that character - GOMAMON GOMAMON GOMAMON
Tumblr media
A headcanon about that character - I feel like not many people saw the old post with random headcanons so I'll say it again, I like to believe Zuma is a descendant of Merpups who left the sea to live on land.
A song that reminds of that character - "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride" specifically the Pop Version by Jump5
An unpopular opinion about that character - I don't think he is THAT sad about not being called for missions as often as the other pups. You can check more about it on this post here.
Favorite picture - Whenever he's jumping to become water. HAVE YOU SEEN HIS FACE WHEN HE DOES THAT. HE'S SO THRILLED TO BE ONE WITH WATER. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
His little tail wag in this last one just before jumping 😭💜

Somewhere with an Aurora
A couple days ago I asked for Avior one-shot suggestions. This one came from @pinksparkl 1.5k words
“Ah crap,” I muttered, shoving the gear shift into Park. “This place used to be open a lot later than this.” I made a face, staring at the abandoned, dark coffee shop.
“Probably because it’s New Year’s Eve.” Avior’s face was still tense, partially screwed up like the emotions from that attack at the academy was still weighing on him. It probably was. He was keeping it in, but that many emotions—that much pain—he had to feel dangerously close to falling apart.
“Maybe. That’s kinda frustrating. I knew I should have checked the hours on Google Maps before we left the academy.”
“It’s alright,” he said.
“But you wanted to come here and get something warm to drink and be able to think through everything that just happened,” I protested.
“I know. But we’ll have plenty of time to come here later. Right now I don’t care where we go.”
I bit my lip. We’d been essentially living together for six months in Hell. I swallowed. “Want to come back to my place?” I offered.
Avior cocked his head to one side. “If you need some space I’ll understand, starlight. What we’ve just gone through—I can go back to Aria for the night. The Hellscape, this Inversion nonsense. It’s a lot and I don’t blame you if you’re feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.”
“I am. Both exhausted and overwhelmed. But I don’t want to be either of those things without you, Avior. I want you with me. Just your presence comforts me.” I reached across the center console of my little sedan and took his hand. “Come home with me?”
His gold gaze bored into me. “You’re sure?”
I tried to remember the state my apartment was in. Had I left anything embarrassing out when I left to head on whatever errand I’d been running? My memories had come back like I’d never lost them, and it felt like I’d last seen my apartment six months ago. Was that pair of underwear that had been draped over the radiator to dry after they missed getting placed in the dryer and ended up still damp? Had I put those away? Were there still papers all over my coffee table? Leftover from grading at the end of the semester?
“I’m sure,” I replied.
Avior knew me better than anyone. My lover. Our relationship literally forged in Hell. He would understand if my apartment was a mess.
“Okay.”
I nodded and pulled the gear shift back into gear. “My place it is then.”
Creak!
“I really need to oil that damn hinge,” I muttered as I shoved the front door open. “Sorry it’s not much. I don’t really entertain. I never have guests, actually.”
Avior glanced around. Tension was still coiled in his shoulders and back from the attack—that was centered on the far other side of the city now. “No. No, it’s nice. Homey.” He let go of my hand.
I fidgeted with my keyring, not meeting his eyes. “Let me get you something to drink. I don’t know about you, but months in Hell have left me pretty parched. Even if it wasn’t real. It must be worse for you.” I slipped to my kitchen, bustling around to find a two glasses for drinks. I put them under the fridge’s spout and filled them one by one before returning to the living room.
Avior was standing at my bookshelf, examining several of the knick-knacks I had sitting between two bookends. “What’re these?”
I couldn’t look him in the eye. “That’s, uh… that my amiibo collection,” I admitted.
“What’s an amiibo?”
“They’re little figurines that can interact with certain video games. I… I, uh… I only have ones from The Legend of Zelda because it’s my favorite Nintendo series. I’ve been playing Zelda games since I was a kid and the first couple amiibo were gifts but after that I just started kinda collecting and… what? Why are you looking at me like that?”
Avior shrugged and shook his head, grinning slightly. “It’s nothing. Just… your eyes lit up, even as your emotions also tasted embarrassed.” He set the Wolf Link and Midna amiibo back down on the shelf. “You never told me which video games you enjoyed, although I do remember you mentioning you liked to play video games if you ever had enough downtime to do so.”
“Which is rare these days,” I remarked. “But I’ll dink around in Breath of the Wild for a couple hours on a Sunday night when I don’t have any assignments to grade. Sometimes my students ask why I assign less homework than the other professors—like they can’t fathom that I don’t want to grade as much homework as the rest of my colleagues assign.”
Avior snickered. “Amateurs—asking for more homework.”
I laughed. “Well, not exactly. But for any other professor questions like that could lead to more homework. Not for me. I love teaching—I just hate grading. I especially hate busywork. So I don’t bother. And that leaves more time for me to spend doing things I actually enjoy.”
Avior lifted a brow, suppressing a smile. I chose not to press for what was humoring him. I had a guess anyway.
When I didn’t take the bait, he cleared his throat. “Anything else I don’t know about you after living with you for six months?”
I glanced around my apartment. “Well… I collect comic books. Not even particularly valuable ones. I don’t do much with them. People just give them to me because I’m a nerd and I keep them. Because I’m a nerd.”
“Do you read them?”
“I would—but they’re all random issues in the middle of random storylines and none of them make any sense out-of-context.”
Avior chuckled. “Fair enough.”
“What about you? Anything I don’t know about you, living in Hell with you for six months?”
Avior drew me closer to him, resting his chin on my head. “I want to see an aurora one day,” he said. “I could have rifted somewhere with one whenever I wanted in the past thirty-six—thirty-four—years… but I never did. I always wanted to share it with someone who meant something real to me. And… no one ever did. I never figured I’d fall in love but… even a good friend. And I… never had one.”
I smiled. “We’ll do it, then. We’ll go somewhere with an aurora. Probably Alaska. It’s closest.” I reached and cradled his face in both hands. “I’d love to see the lights with you.”
He turned his head and kissed my palm, holding my wrist in his hand. “I’d love to see the lights with you too, my starlight.” He smiled softly. “Though, I fear they will pale in comparison to you.”
I looked away, ears turning hot. “Stop it,” I mumbled.
He hooked a finger under my chin and drew my head back to face him. “Never. I mean it. You are incredible. And I consider myself so lucky to have fallen for you as deeply as I have.”
This was the Avior I remembered. Not the dry, acerbic, sarcastic bastard who welcomed me to Hell after I lost my memories. The sincerity, the gentleness, and the depth of emotion was back in full-force—and I couldn’t have been more grateful. We had each other back after we both lost one another in different ways.
“I love you, Avior,” I whispered.
“I love you too, my starlight.” He leaned close.
We shared a long, slow, tender kiss. Unhurried. Easy.
I remembered desperate kisses in Hell, scrambling to remove clothing like we wouldn’t live to share more affection. I couldn’t be more delighted that urgent feeling was gone.
He pulled back just slightly, both of our eyelids fluttering open to meet each other’s gaze.
“Something else you might not know about me,” he said quietly. “You’re the first person I ever slept with—both literally and euphemistically.”
I choked on trying to suppress a laugh. “Really?”
“Truly.”
“Thirty-four years since you coalesced and you never—”
“Like I said, I never knew anyone well enough to want to try anything like that. And demons obviously have no physical form in Aria so anything that intimate is purely emotional. And I never had that either.”
“Given how smoothly you charm me, I find that a bit hard to believe.”
He kissed me again. “It just came naturally with you.”
I kissed him back.
We stood in my living room, kissing in front of my bookshelf, for quite a while.
Until Avior pulled away again. “So. My people’s ancient gods exist and have a mission for us to save the world. Where do you reckon we’re supposed to start?”

E&T: Looking Towards the Horizon
It’s a-me Crisp Rat-Anyway hi yes this is real it is here sorry it took *checks watch* over a year 🤪 what can ya do. But it’s a chunky one so hooray 2nd longest chapter to date i hope it makes up for the wait a little bit (°ー°〃) have fun kids
←Previous - Masterlist - Next→
Ingredients: bones breaking, including a compound fracture, a little bit of gore but it’s rather vague, the usual noncon body mod being a thing that exists and those dubcon touching vibes, implied perceived threat of noncon kiss that is in fact not that, mention of butchering
Erebus didn’t think he’d ever been so hot in his life.
He’d suffered through the humid heat of the rainy seasons at home, preferring the hot dry season that came before. But now, with the late-afternoon sun’s rays beating down on him from above and the heat radiating off of the black sand below, he found himself missing the muggy humidity and torrential rains. He couldn’t believe Neteri expected him to fly out here in the desert, but it was the next logical step now that he’d built up more than enough strength to walk properly again.
He shot a glance at Neteri, who was wiping her presumably sweaty hands on the sides of her coat. She returned his look with an apologetic smile. “Sorry, I know it’s hot out here. Pretty, though.” They both gazed out over the black dunes of the Greikala Naman Desert, the towering cliffs behind them stretching out to either side, remnants of an old mine cutting into the rock face to their left.
“Still, not why we’re here. I just thought it’d be a great place for you to learn how to fly since the sand should help soften the impact in case you fall, and no one’s around to see so we won’t have to deal with people asking questions or you getting too self-conscious-”
“I’m not that self-conscious-”
“Hold these.” Neteri had taken off her glasses and was now holding them out to Erebus. He took them, confused as he watched her bury her face in her hands and take a deep breath. “You’re so self-conscious, Erebus,” she mumbled into her hands before lifting her face and replacing her glasses. “You’re like the most self-conscious guy I’ve ever met, okay?” She shook her head. “Seriously. You can be so dense sometimes.” Erebus opened his mouth to argue, but…no, she was probably right, wasn’t she? He couldn’t help it; he’d lived in an environment where people’s opinions and perceptions of him mattered a lot for the vast majority of his life. 
He cleared his throat. “Anyway, um…am I just going to start trying to fly now?”
“Yup.” 
“Okay…so, do I just, um,” Erebus flapped his wings hesitantly, “do that?”
Neteri shrugged. “Probably? It’s not like I’ve ever flown before. Really, I don’t think any other human has, especially not like this, so…you’re kind of on your own here.”
Erebus felt his face flush slightly. “Right.” He turned away, looking out over the vast expanse of dark sand. He-he shouldn’t be nervous about messing this up in front of Neteri, since she’d said it herself that no one had ever really done this before, but he still found himself proving her point about him being self-conscious to be spot on.  Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath. Don’t think about Neteri. Just focus. 
Slowly, Erebus started to flap his wings, shifting them as he did in order to find the best angle, the one that fought against gravity the most. He couldn’t really explain it, but he just knew when he found it, something in the way the air pushed against the wing membranes feeling right. Neteri was probably taking-no, no, don’t think about Neteri, just focus. Focus on his wings, on adjusting them bit by bit, getting them in just the right-
“Woah!” Erebus’s feet left the ground for just a moment, but due to the shock of it he forgot to keep flapping his wings and fell back to the ground, stumbling and falling down onto his back. Still, he couldn’t stop himself from smiling. “Did you see that, Neteri? I-I was-I was in the air!”
Neteri smiled back, extending a hand to help him up. “I saw! I’m sure you’ll do even better next time.” He took her hand and stood, some part of him…excited to try again, to possibly succeed, to actually fly. Once she’d backed up enough, he tried again, able to find the correct angle faster than last time. Soon enough he was in the air again, actually staying in the air, rising higher bit by bit, but…how was he supposed to go forward? Maybe by moving his wings like-nope, down into the sand he went. It did help cushion his fall, just like Neteri said it would, so he was ready to try again right away.
Over and over, higher and higher, faster and farther, his take-offs getting smoother and his landings resulting in less scrapes and falls, and he was doing it, actually flying. He was rather clumsy still, but he ignored the burning in his muscles and lungs and kept trying. The feeling of freedom, of actual control over something was far too intoxicating for him to do anything but reach for it again and again.
But when he ended up falling gracelessly into the sand, his head spinning and breathing short, he realized he may have been pushing himself a bit too hard. Attempts at sitting up were met with waves of dizziness too strong for him to overcome.
“Hey, are you alright, Erebus?” Neteri knelt by his side, turning him onto his back as she felt his forehead. “You’ve been using a lot of magic to help you fly, huh? I was trying to keep an eye on your condition, but you were taking off again so quickly that I figured you were alright. Sorry about that. Here, let me give you some of my magic power.” She removed her glasses and took his hand, pulling him slightly. “Sit up, Erebus.” Shakily, he did so, his ears ringing as the world spun around him. But Neteri, she, she was moving towards him, moving her face towards his, like she was going to-
Erebus collapsed backwards onto the sand, resisting the urge to scramble away as she looked down at him in concern. “I’m sure you’re dizzy, Erebus, but I promise you’ll feel better if you let me do this, and, well…it’ll be less awkward if you’re sitting up for it, yeah?” 
He desperately shook his head. “I-if that’s-that’s what’s going to-to-I don’t want it so-so please just-” 
Neteri cocked her head. “What do you-” A look of understanding, and slight horror, dawned on her face. “Oh, no, no, no, Erebus, I wasn’t going to-that’s not how we-” She sighed. “I suppose I shouldn’t have expected you to be familiar with how magic power is shared between wizards, seeing as you aren’t one yourself. Here, sit up, I promise it’s nothing like that.” Feeling he didn’t have much choice but to trust her, Erebus sat up once more, resisting the urge to flinch back as she leaned towards him, eventually just squeezing his eyes shut.
He felt her forehead and nose press against his, but that was where the contact ended.  “It’s alright, Erebus, this is it. Just breathe deep, in and out. When we share magic, we do it by sharing breath like this.” Erebus felt a puff of air on his cheek as she laughed a little. “It’s always a little awkward the first few times you do it, but after a while it’s just as normal as shaking hands.” 
“Huh.” It was a little awkward, but he was sort of used to Neteri touching him however and wherever she wanted that he was mostly numb to it all by now. Well, not numb but…he was okay with it. “Why…why is it done like this?”
“Because sharing breath is sharing life, and magic is life. Well, I mean, magic isn’t what makes us alive, but, like…magic power comes from your life force. The bond between your body and soul. That’s why you get weak and start bleeding if you use too much magic power, because the bond grows weaker, and…you’re closer to death. The bond grows stronger again over time, obviously, or else all wizards would die pretty young.” She laughed a little. “But…if you use too much all at once, it can kill you. Like, there are some spells that one person can’t do alone because they require so much energy that it would kill the caster. Not to mention that some require different elements of magic working together, but that doesn’t have anything to do with the amount of energy needed.” There was silence for a few moments. “Sorry for just dumping all of that on you-”
“No, it’s okay, I asked.” It felt weird having a conversation with their faces together like this, but Erebus wasn’t about to lean away since it did seem to be working. And…maybe talking was better than just sitting like this in silence. “It’s weird how little I really know about magic. I mean, I know a lot of what it’s capable of, but…I never really knew just how it worked or anything.”
“Well, it’s not like you’d need to know it to run a kingdom, right? You can’t use it yourself, so it’s not really something you’d have needed to know. But, for me, things you don’t need to know are the most fun to learn about, ‘cause then it’s all about learning for the sake of it.” She shifted slightly, her breath coming out differently for a moment, like maybe she was smiling now. “Curiosity is a wonderful thing, really. We’ve made so many advancements because of it, and, really, it’s why I’m doing what I’m doing now.”
Erebus sat back against his better judgment, gulping as he opened his eyes to look at Neteri. “I-is that why you did all of this to me? Because you were curious?”
“No, I-” Neteri sighed, closing her eyes and shaking her head as if to clear it before putting her glasses back on. “That came out wrong. I was curious about demon anatomy in the beginning, and after so much study it led to-” She looked up at the sky, blue starting to fade into orange. “Look, why don’t you practice flying some more before it gets dark. You’ve got your strength back now, right? Just don’t go too far. And after that we can eat and…I can tell you why I’m doing this.”
Erebus stood, steady on his feet once more, and brushed the sand off of himself. “Fine.” He wanted to stay put, to protest, to not let the chance of finally learning the reason for all of this disappear, but Neteri sounded sincere enough, and he doubted standing his ground would result in him actually getting what he wanted. He’d waited all this time, so he could wait for a few more hours.
Besides, he wanted to try and fly again.
After a couple more attempts, he felt like he was really starting to get it, figuring out how to best move his wings and body in each different scenario. He was nowhere near feeling like he’d mastered it, but as far as the basics went, he was feeling pretty confident. For this next flight, he wanted to try and go high enough that Neteri’d look like a little white dot on the black sands below. 
As he rose up, he felt himself starting to get tired again, but upon looking down and seeing how much further up he’d have to go, he kept pushing. Going straight up was difficult, and he’d been finding it much easier to rise at an angle, sort of gliding, but he’d never tried going this high before. Neteri was getting pretty small below him, much smaller than normal, so maybe he’d stop here for now. He waved down at her, not sure how well she could even see him, before looking out over the vast desert stretching out before him, the sky above now stained with shades of orange and pink, making the dark sands below seem to sparkle. A feeling of joy welled up inside him, and he couldn’t help but laugh, the world around him so open, calling him to come explore, because he really could go anywhere now, and he couldn’t resist swooping towards the horizon, to fly as far as his wings could take him, to-
There was a harsh tug at the collar around his neck, and everything spun out of control.
Erebus began to plummet towards the ground as he choked, trying to get air flowing through his throbbing throat, flapping his wings desperately, trying to right himself befo-
Reality hit him, and it hit him hard.
Sand sprayed through the air as he hit the ground, grains taking his place in the sky before falling back down on him like rain. His arms were scraped and bleeding, little pockets of sand collected under the skin, but that stinging was hardly anything compared to the sharp pain in his legs. His lower left leg was roaring in agony, and his right ankle felt like it’d been stabbed through with a nail. Through the ringing in his ears, he could hear Neteri running over to him, shouting his name. He pushed himself upright slightly before looking down at his legs, hoping it felt worse than it looked.
All it took was the sight of white bone poking out of his torn pant leg for the world to go dark.
                                                            ~~~
Consciousness pulled Erebus to the surface all of a sudden, mercilessly dragging him back into his body. He jerked awake, crying out slightly as the pain in his legs returned full force. Neteri stood over him, and he was lying on his back in...the old barracks of the mine, on one of the bedrolls they’d laid out on the cots in here before going back outside so he could practice. She gave him a reassuring smile.
“Hey, Erebus, just breathe, it’s alright. You had quite the fall, and…not the best landing. Thankfully I know a spell that makes things lighter temporarily, so I was able to carry you here without much issue.” Erebus started to sit up, wanting to check the state of his leg, but Neteri pushed him back down. “No, no, I just finished cleaning the wound, Erebus, but I haven’t had the chance to heal you yet, and based on how you reacted to seeing it earlier…” 
Erebus sighed in defeat and laid back down. “H…how serious is it?”
“It’s going to take a lot out of me, but…I should be able to fix it. Most of it, anyway. You’re lucky that your t-no, you don’t know what bones are called, do you-your smaller leg bone? That’s the only one that completely fractured in half and broke through skin. Your…thicker leg bone is cracked, but not completely broken, which is good. The ankle on your other leg is also kind of messed up, but that I should be able to fix pretty easily.”
Erebus’s stomach sank as she kept talking, adding to the list of things she’s going to need to fix, the number of painful procedures that he’s going to have to sit through. “O-okay.” He gulped. Neteri didn’t seem mad at him, but…“I’m sorry I flew so far, I…I just got caught up in the feeling and I wanted to-”
“No, it’s alright, Erebus, I’m not upset with you. I told you not to go far, but I probably should have told you what would happen if you did. I have this ring, see, and when I wear it, it’ll pull your collar back towards me if you get too far away, and…I just didn’t think you’d be able to go that far so quickly so I figured it wouldn’t be an issue, but…I’m sorry.” She looked away as she apologized, but soon turned back to face him. “But everything will work out. I’ll get you fixed up and hopefully you’ll be able to try flying again tomorrow.”
The apology was a bit of a surprise, but Erebus wasn’t complaining. “So flying too far away from you so fast is what ended up making me…” Neteri nodded, and Erebus couldn’t help but sigh. He’d felt so free in that moment, but, really, he’d just been like a bird in a cage. One that flew straight into the bars. He couldn’t believe he’d deluded himself into thinking that he could actually fly away from all of this, even for a little bit. Just look where it got him.
Neteri gave him something to bite on and asked him to be still, and all he could do was comply and endure as she fixed the damage his naivety had caused. She started with the most serious injury, the bone sticking out of his torn leg, and he was already fighting back screams as she carefully worked the bone back into its proper place, but he knew it was only going to get worse. Memories of the surgery on his arm came flooding back, of the awful, fiery needles that stabbed through his bone as she worked her magic, and soon enough that same sensation returned full force, a dazzling array of stabbing pains surging up the entire length of his leg, paired with the sickening feeling of Neteri’s gloved hands probing around inside the wound, holding things in place as she lit them on fire, rearranging twisted muscle fibers and reconnecting ripped blood vessels.
At least, some of them.
Her hand left the wound behind, the pain telling him it was not fully healed yet. He shot her a watery-eyed look, and she smiled at him weakly. “I’m just going to fix your ankle up first. I had to use a lot more magic power than I thought I would just to get your leg bones fixed, so sit tight.” He swallowed and nodded, as if there was any other choice. The type and intensity of the pain in his ankle was much the same as it healed, and at one point Neteri had to hold his foot still so it stopped twitching in pain so much, despite his best efforts to keep it from doing so. At least he wasn’t tied down, able to grip the sides of the bedroll or wipe the tears from his eyes as he pleased. It wasn’t much to be grateful for, but he’d come to appreciate the smaller things.
Once she was done, Neteri practically collapsed to the ground, resting her arms on the side of the cot. Blood was steadily dripping from her nose, which she didn’t seem to register for a couple of seconds. After hastily shoving her handkerchief up her nostril, she sighed. “I fixed all of your broken bones, and I stopped the bleeding in your leg. I still have to…have to finish healing some of your muscles and close the skin back up but I…I just need a break.” 
Erebus couldn’t help but stare, now realizing what it meant when Neteri was wiped out from using her magic. “So you…you’re closer to dying right now? Because you used all of that magic power, your life force, to…to heal me. You…you put your life on the line to do this to me, Neteri, so why…?”
“Because I wanted to help people, can you believe that?” She laughed at the notion, her lack of lucidity almost making her seem more aware than ever. “I always thought anatomy was interesting, from the first time I saw my father butcher an animal as a girl.” She steadily crawled her way over to her bag, pulling off her bloodied gloves before rummaging through it. “I studied human anatomy, and then demon anatomy. I wanted to study dragons, too, but it’s basically impossible to get your hands on a cadaver, especially legally. So I studied humans and demons, demons and humans, and I got to thinking, what if demons didn’t come from dragons like we always supposed? What if they were humans to start? What if we’re similar enough to-” dropping the small package she’d pulled out of her bag, she laced her fingers together, “to become one?”
The silence that followed was impossibly loud, and Erebus ended up breaking it before he’d even fully processed what she said. “One like-like me?”
Neteri smiled dreamily, some of the jerky they’d brought along now clutched in her hand, the other wrapped around a familiar crystal. “Yes and no. What I really wanted to do was organs.” Her face fell, took on a coldness he’d rarely ever seen. “So many people need new organs. New limbs, even. We can only take so much from willing, healthy people. But demons,” she smiled, “demons can be butchered all we like. So I wanted to test my theory. Replace human organs with demon ones, see if they take. My proposal was accepted, but only if I made certain revisions.” 
Erebus could see in her face that she was coming back to herself, realizing everything she’d just said, realizing she couldn’t stop now that she’d started. And she’d promised to tell him, hadn’t she? “It had to be all on one person. Someone disposable. Seven surgeries, one part from each kind of demon. Things more tied to their innate magic. And that all was just to be phase one.” Her tone indicated that she didn’t plan on speaking any further. 
Someone…disposable. The phrase had made Erebus’s throat tighten. At the end of the day, that was him, wasn’t it? A prisoner of the Empire, branded as property and sentenced to live out the rest of his days in chains. His life could be thrown away without a second thought. But even worse than that…“Phase…phase one? What…what’s phase two, then?” Try as he might, he couldn’t imagine something worse than what he’d been through, so…maybe it wouldn’t be as bad.
“It’s…it’s the fate I want to save you from.”
“What?” Neteri was looking at him, determination in her eyes, and for a moment he wasn’t sure if her “saving” him was a good thing or not.
“At the beginning I thought this part would be easy. That my subject would deserve to…” she looked away, swallowing, “but you don’t. You didn’t deserve any of this to begin with, and I was too focused on my goals to see it.” She laughed hollowly before turning back to him. “I don’t want to freak you out, so…I’m not going to tell you what phase two is just yet. I promise I will eventually, once you’re out of danger. I just…don’t want anything to go wrong, and if you know what might happen if we fail…I just don’t want it to keep you up at night.”
“I can-okay.” What use was it arguing? Neteri was standing up now, putting her gloves back on, ready to get back to fixing him up, and this conversation was over. He laid back and tried to relax, but this was all a lot to process.
“Actually, Erebus…healing all this combined with the magic power I lent you earlier…I don’t know if I have enough energy to fix your leg and...do the other thing I need to do.”
“Which is…?”
She gave him a tired smile, leaning in close, her voice almost a whisper. “I’m going to remove the tracking magic from your brand.”
Erebus’s eyes went wide. “You…you’re serious?!” When she said she wanted to save him…he didn’t know what exactly he’d been expecting, but was she actually going to let him go? Was-was he really going to be free?
“Dead serious.” She straightened up. “I’m not going to get rid of it entirely, just transfer it to a crystal that you’ll keep with you until the time is right. It’s actually the main reason why I brought you all the way out here. Because I really am going to get you out of here.” A genuine smile spread across Erebus’s face at her words, as much as he was afraid that this was some sort of trick. But Neteri had always been honest with him. She’d hidden things from him, sure, but never outright lied, at least that he was aware of. “Thank…thank you, Neteri. Really, I-”
She shook her head. “It’s the least I can do. And I’ll do more to help you, I promise. But for now…is it okay if I save my energy for the brand and take care of this wound the non-magic way?”
“Yeah, that’s alright,” Erebus agreed, even though he suspected this meant he was getting stitches.
He was completely correct, but the gash in his leg wasn’t too long, so soon enough she’d tied the thread and bandaged his leg up neatly. She healed the scrapes on his arms, at least, since they were so minor that the amount of magic she used doing it was negligible, but the process of her cleaning the sand out of them first was far more painful than it had any right to be. Once that was done, they ate the portion of dried food they’d reserved for dinner, Erebus mostly making small talk while he thought through everything Neteri had said, hoping she was truly going to make good on her promises. 
He’d never been happier to hear her ask him to take off his shirt and lie down.
After he undid the knots of the special shirt she’d made to accommodate his wings, he nervously laid back, excited for what lay on the other side of the pain for once. Neteri told him that it would hurt, that it might be like being branded all over again, but he could handle it if it meant he was really going to be free.
He could handle it, right?
The burning was exactly like it was the first time, and before he knew it he was crying, biting back screams as Neteri slowly slid the crystal over his brand, igniting white-hot pain as it went, and suddenly he was right back up on that stage, rough wood pressing into the wounds on his back, all of his people watching, the collar tight around his neck, heavy chains on his wrists, the taste of blood thick in his mouth despite his missing tongue, the smell of burning flesh suffocating him, the Emperor’s almost bored expression as he pressed the hot metal to his chest, the sky above unfairly blue, unbearable heat overtaking him in waves don’t ever forget that you’re property now you’ll never be free you’ll never amount to anything more than a twisted science project everything you’ve studied and worked for means nothing and all you can do is watch as your very humanity is ripped away and torn to shreds and nothing will save-
“Erebus.”
Erebus tensed up, suddenly finding himself back in the present, Neteri looking down at him with concern. A rag was shoved up her bleeding nose again, but she gave him a weak smile as she wiped away some of his tears. “It’s over. I’m sorry it hurt so much, but it’s over.” She squeezed his hand, holding out the black crystal she’d bound the tracking spell to with her other one. He nodded and took it, numbly worming it into his pocket as he tried to crawl out of his daze. “Let’s go to sleep, then,” Neteri said as she started to pull her hand away.
“Wait-” Erebus sniffed, holding tightly onto her hand. “Please, could you…?” He still didn’t want to say it outright, but he hoped she’d get the message, and he couldn’t help but smile when she gave his hand a squeeze. 
“Alright. But let me get ready for bed first, okay?”
“Okay.”
She got ready quickly enough, even giving him something to help with the pain in his leg since she wasn’t going to be using magic on it anytime soon. Once that was done, she sat on the edge of the bed, holding out her arms and letting him bury himself in her stomach, causing her to laugh a little. “Would it be easier if I laid down? I mean, I have my own bed, but…I think I’m about ready to fall over.”
“T-that’s fine!” Erebus sat up quickly, scooting over to make room. He hadn’t been expecting this, but after what happened with his brand, he wasn’t complaining. Once Neteri had laid down, he cuddled up next to her, her arms around him so comforting. Before he knew it the tears he’d been holding back started to flow again, the horrible memories of that day still at the forefront of his mind. He’d mostly buried it under all the awful things he’d experienced since, but now it was all he could think about. Neteri mostly stayed silent, her hand stroking his hair and rubbing the base of one of his horns. After he’d started to calm down, she spoke up.
“You know, I’d never thought I’d lay like this with a guy.”
“Oh, I, uh-sorry, do you not want to-”
“No, no, it’s okay! I didn’t mean it like I don’t want to or anything, it’s just…weird? No…unexpected? Yeah. I never would’ve thought I’d do this, you know? Like if you told me ten years ago I’d be cuddling with a boy someday I would’ve laughed at you, you know?”
“Well, if you told me at the start of all this that I’d want to do this with you I would’ve…I would have been…” He sat bolt upright, trapped between her and the wall. “This isn’t…maybe I shouldn’t do this or even want this I-”
“Erebus.” Neteri took his hand, holding it firmly as she sat up slightly. “It’s okay to want comfort from me. After everything you’ve…no, after everything I’ve put you through, it’s only natural to want to be comforted, to need it, really, and, well… it’s not like you have anyone else to turn to. And I want to make it up to you, so, please, if you want to…it’s okay.” She smiled. “It’s not like anyone will know, anyway, if that makes you feel better.”
“But what if they did know, what if they all found out that I’m-they’d think I’m pathe-”
“You’re not a prince anymore, Erebus.” He stiffened like he’d just been slapped, jaw falling open slightly before he finally turned to look down at Neteri, his eyes wide. “You don’t have to worry so much about what everyone thinks of you. You’re not setting an example for anyone, you’re not expected to be a leader, you’re allowed to be vulnerable now, to want things without worrying about how you’ll be judged for it, to just be…you.”  She sat up fully, still holding his hand. “So if you want this, Erebus, it’s okay. Really.”
“I…am I ever going to see any of them again, Neteri?” he asked as his shoulders sagged in defeat.
She gave him a tired smile. “I don’t see why not. After we get away I can get you all fixed up, and…maybe you’ll be able to go home. Just as long as you keep it on the down low, it should be okay.”
Erebus smiled wide. “Okay. Thank you, Neteri. We can go to sleep now.”
“Alright.” She nodded sleepily, her eyes unfocused without her glasses on. She glanced over at her cot and bedroll before lying down and closing her eyes. Erebus hummed happily as he laid on her chest once more, his horn resting on top of her shoulder. As exhausting as today had been, he was almost too excited to sleep. The prospect of actually being free was…exhilarating.
Honestly, he couldn’t remember the last time he’d felt hope like this. For so long he’d been resigned to this life, the fate he’d been dealt, because he’d come to accept that escaping on his own was impossible and no one who’d cared about him would be able to save him.
For the first time in a long time, he let himself think about his friends back home, all the people he’d known and loved, of Lythia, and he remembered how they’d tried to save him. That…that was the last time he’d felt hope, the day he was whipped and branded and had his tongue cut off. Lythia had told him he was going to be rescued, and he’d believed wholeheartedly that he would be. And here he was again, being told he was going to be saved, and believing that everything was going to work out in the end. 
Last time he’d had hope like this, it had been destroyed right before his eyes.
Would this time be any different?

Who Let Vampires Run Rock n' Roll?! Part 3!!
Tumblr media
—————————————————————————
We got blood, biting, breaking and entering, a bit of hypnotism, and slight intimacy. Part One. Part Two!
About 1,000 words.
Happy reading!
—————————————————————————
After a couple glasses of water, a shower, and binge-watching random slice-of-life anime, I temporarily forgot about the whole situation. 
All this attention and confusion should go away after a week or so, I just gotta lay low. I know that I cannot handle being in the spotlight anymore than what I’ve already been. I could probably explode from all the exposure. 
I headed downstairs into the kitchen to warm some leftovers up; I hadn’t eaten since yesterday. I grab a prepped meal of chicken, red potatoes, and string beans, placing it in the microwave. I put in 2 minutes, any less would leave the plate hot and the food cold.
I pretend not to care about the food as I look around my house. It’s small, but it’s spacious enough for me. Realistic-looking plants take over my corners as my old paintings dwell on my walls. Fairy lights hang from the ceiling, making the whole place seem more comfortable.  A custom-made rug rests on the floor while being surrounded by couches and chairs. The coffee table that’s pinning the rug down has accumulated a mess of receipts, unimportant mail, and dead batteries. I never got around to cleaning it. 
Beep! Beep! Beeee-
I open the microwave door and grab the food with a hot pad. I walk over to my couch and sit, turning on my TV so that I may have entertainment whilst I eat. 
I put on an anime where the main group relies on the power of friendship and the villain does everything in his power to destroy their friendship, thus destroying their power.
“Now go ahead and play THIS,” the villain on-screen said as he unveiled a popular party game which relies on winning at other people’s expense.
“Oh no!!”
The group on-screen screamed at the same time at the horrid sight, which got a chuckle out of me. I stab my fork into the potato and pop it into my mouth. 
“Come on, you guys can do it,” I cheer with my mouth full. I eat more potatoes, quickly finishing them off before I move on to the chicken.
Soon, the plate is close to being finished and so is the episode. I take my final bite and savor the flavor of the string beans. Once it hits the credits, I get up and put my dishes in the sink.
Then a chill ran down my back. 
“Hm?” I look around, for any disturbance that could’ve caused me to get that sudden cold, but there’s nothing. 
Shrugging it off, I sit back on the couch, the show starting up the next episode.
That chill then turned into total uneasiness, as if I’m suddenly not alone in this house. It felt just like that weight I felt on my shoulders at the concert. I turn off the TV and rise from my position, swaying my head around in trepidation. Still, nothing from what I can see.
I head into my linen closet and grab a baseball bat Mai had gifted me once I moved here. To defend me from big bad criminals, she said. Hopefully I won’t have to put it to use. 
I survey each room, looking for any potential threats. Nothing in the living room. There was a bug in the kitchen. It’s no longer living. Nothing in the bathroom except for the fact that I need to replace the toilet paper roll. 
Aside from some minor matters, there’s no threats down here. Now for the second floor. 
I head upstairs to survey those rooms. Nothing in the bigger bathroom and there’s nothing in my office. All that’s left to check is my room, which has been radiating this overwhelming energy that I cannot describe.
It’s heavy enough to deter a bodybuilder, it could smother the air itself, it could cause the Berj Khalifa to fall if it wanted to.
Everything in me was telling me to drop the bat and run from this potent energy, yet I grabbed the doorknob, my heart racing like it would never beat again.
I turn the doorknob and walk forward, my legs weighing a thousand pounds. 
I see my room, with its walls covered in posters and pins I’ve collected. I look at my bed to see…Lucien laying upon it as if he’d been waiting for me. Once I entered, he gave me a smile.
“Pleasure to see you again, sweetheart,” he said, winking at me again.
I stare at him, eyes widened, questions running a marathon in my brain, and dropping my bat.
“You were quite difficult to find, you know. It’s not easy finding someone just from their scent, not to mention how far you were from the place I’m staying at.”
I regained my senses and straightened myself.
“H-how did you get in here,” I questioned. “I thought vampires needed permission to come inside someone’s home!”
“I got permission,” he retorted. “From myself. I asked myself if I should enter and…here we are.”
I know that Iooked perplexed, because he took one glance into my eyes and giggled. 
“What? Not all of us follow the same rules, sweetheart. Also, I didn’t catch your name.”
“Did you break into my house just to know what my name is??”
“No, of course not.”
He sat up before continuing.
“I didn’t break in, I simply envisioned myself inside your home and I was brought inside. Also, why would I enter your home for something as silly as that? No, I wish to speak with you, sweetheart. But first, your name.”
I gave him my name and he nodded, his smile widening a bit.
“Such a lovely little name,” Lucien said. “It suits you.”
As he spoke, I noticed his fangs were out, no longer looking like caps.
“Uh, thank you- oh wait!” 
Memories from this morning came back to me, rushing into my thoughts like a bullet train.
“You bit me but everybody else thought that it was a kiss,” I said. “On the lips! I felt like a crazy person this morning!”
He laughed again.
“Seems like you’re more worried about the audience’s perspective rather than the fact that I bit you, sweetheart.”
“Oh yeah, that too! You said that you wanted a drink, how was I supposed to know that you were gonna bite me?!”
“Sorry about that,” he said sincerely. “I hadn’t fed ever since me and the band got here, despite their warnings. Plus, you were in the crowd, looking absolutely…delectable.”
I swallow at how he enunciated that last word.
“And to answer your previous statement, me and my band just so happen to have a special ability that masks our, well, inhuman traits.”
He said our…is the whole band made up of vampires??
“You know how some people are able to use makeup so well that it completely alters their appearance?”
I nod, waiting for him to continue.
“Well, we have a little illusion we like to call ‘The Forbidden Mask’, but other vampires call it glamour. It hides our vampiric tendencies and appearance in plain sight. Bites become passionate kisses. Fangs are veneers. Things like that. The only way this mask is taken off is if we directly bite or show that person who we truly are. With the benefit that no one else knows but that person.”
“How do you know that I won’t let other people know,” I ask. “I could just call up a friend and tell them.”
He laughs again, this time sounding like a villain.
“Because I can make you not tell others.”
“Oh really? How,” I ask, picking up my phone to test his statement. “What’s to stop me from calling my friend’s number?”
He cleared his throat and started to sing for me.
“Put that phone down for me, sweetheart…”
Without thinking, I place my phone onto the dresser top, making my eyes widen again in disbelief.
What?!
Lucien then brought his hand out, gesturing for me to come closer.
“Come here, my sweet little girl…”
My foot went in front of the other despite my attempts to turn around or stop. I soon stood in front of him, watching as he gave me a look that said, ‘told you so.’
“Why don’t you sit with me, my darling darkling?”
I was seated next to him, leaving no leg room.
“See,” Lucien said. “I can control humans with my voice. So even if you manage to get your little secret out there to some believers,”
He leaned in as if he wanted to make sure I got his message.
“I can make them do as I say. Or, do as I sing, rather.”
He leaned back and scooted to the side, giving me some space.
“So that’s how we’ve managed to stay hidden in plain sight. Fascinating, isn’t it? To be a flamboyant secret; hidden to the world, yet not.”
Goodness, this word limit is killing me. Imma try to get part 4 out ASAP.

I hope I can explain this well.
Tumblr media
I've been thinking about this infamous power that I asked @imaginesecondson a while back. Here's the post if you wanna read it but to summarize it. I ask what if a conduit had power that is tied to an emotion? I don't know if it's weird or terrifying, but I love it.
I kinda imagine this conduit's power to where they can absorb someone's emotions and weaponize them.
More simple emotions have simple looking abilities, for example:
• Sadness: Watery, like the tears that have been shed for too long.
• Happiness: Radiant, like the light that radiates around the person’s smile.
• Anger: Raging beast with a scarlet red cape. The flames that rage inside it are like that of a roaring inferno, which consumes everything in its path.
While more complicated emotions could become more abstract and weird:
• Nostalgic: The wind, which blows through the air as easily as one does through grass, or clouds.
The user would be able to create an atmosphere of nostalgia and sentimentality around them based on the person they absorbed memories. I imagine the nostalgic power could be used to create a place where the user can share their past experiences and memories with others and to help them regain a sense of peace and comfort through those memories.
• Love: Small and tender like the tiny flower, or even the little flecks of pollen that longer from the morning dew.
I imagine the love power would be one that is very passionate and powerful - it would be a power that could be used to create an overwhelming sense of love and passion, both for others and for oneself. I imagine the love power would be a very strong, intense power, and it would have the potential to be very destructive if used carelessly.
• Fear: Shadowy and dark, like a monster that lurks in the darkest of night.
• Disgust: Smelly gas-like substances that have no discernible smell or taste except that they stink to high heavens.
I was thinking that depending on the type of emotion the person was feeling before, the condit absorbed them. For example, if the person was feeling angry, the Condit could either use just anger or annoyed or frustration, which would change the power that works entirely.
Instead of Anger's raging flame is now Frustrated explosive rage would consume everything in its path and leave destruction and chaos in its wake.
Also when the conduit absorbed the emotion of some the conduit feels that person emotion. Completely taking of them.
Here's the Condit that has this power, Joop Lee
Here's ideas I have for her backstory:
Joop has always struggled with her emotions. Joop's parents were killed when she was young, and she was left alone and without family.
She was forced to grow up quickly and deal with her grief and loss on her own. She had no one to help teach her about her emotions and the dangers of not keeping them in check and how they could be taken advantage of or used against you.
So what does she do? Let them explode out of her every time someone tries to mess with her. It makes sense. But she doesn't enjoy it.
Joop was 24 when her condit gene activated.
Joop had just found out about her mother's side of the family. They had just moved to the United States from South Korea, a place they had lived in for many years prior.
When they found out about Joop's parents' death, They were heartbroken, especially for Joop, so they opened their home to her. And offered to help her if she needed anything. Joop was happy for a while. She had a home, a family, and people who cared enough to look out for her. Until things got worse.
There were some Conduits that gained their powers, and the DUP came looking for them. In the commotion, Joop's uncle died, and Joop was injured during the fighting. Fear started setting it off. Joop couldn't control herself anymore, and she lashed out at everyone. She absorbed the fear into herself. Defeating the rouge condits who had taken her uncle away from her.
She didn't even feel bad about it until she looked over at her younger cousins and saw them. Making her stop to get them away from the danger.
Joop's face claim is Rico Nasty.
Tumblr media
Also, when Joop got her powers, the right side of her hair went blond, and her right eye turned blue.
Thank you for reading. Please ask questions about her. I wanna talk about her.

hello !! can i request gary "roach" sanderson x gn!reader headcanons ? like how he is in a relationship , how he got together with the reader etc. ( feel free to ignore if requests arent open ! )
Petition to get more Roach imagines, headcannons, and oneshots🪧👋
Edit mid writing: I got carried away with it😅
Edit from right after finishing this: I did this for a whole hour, please somebody get me a therapist this is not healthy.
GARY “Roach” SANDERSON X GN!READER HEADCANNONS
-
(If you weren’t in the military) you knocked on his door asking if he had a battery charger because nobody in the neighborhood seemed to have one
The moment his eyes captured you he was amazed by how pretty you were, he went to grab his charger for you, and gave it to you, you left and he saw that you lived right next door to him
He didn’t want to be a creep so he went back to cooking his dinner and listening to the tv, but you did stay stuck in his mind for those two hours, the way your eyes looked, the scent you radiated, and your smile when you said thank you and introduced yourself to him.
He remembered that at 6pm he heard an engine roaring, when he went out to look he saw you sitting in your car checking something, he saw how happy you looked, before he knew it you sped off, only leaving echoes.
(If you were in the military) you two were in different squads same units but never met, only ever seeing each other occasionally.
Price had called you in to talk with you, telling you— you would be working with another squad on a mission, then he introduced you to Roach
There was an immediate connection, something was there, some type of electricity that you couldn’t specify.
But nonetheless you are quite determined when it came to your job, even with you being confused with your emotions about Roach, you got your job done, that’s what made Roach more interested in you. How efficient you were, and how good at your job you were.
But apparently you two weren’t efficient enough to get out of the only building with a bomb planted in it, you two were so fixated on getting your teams out of the building and grabbing intel you two didn’t realize you were too late to get yourselves out of the building.
To you the bomb got louder with every tick it made, and when it finally gave off three quick ticks you prepared yourself. You felt someone grabbing you, covering you with their entire body wrapped around you and all you heard was the explosion and your ears began to ring. You opened your eyes for a few seconds seeing Roaches eyes before you passed out.
You woke up again hooked up to an IV and laying in front of a doctor/medic. The doctor called Price in and the first thing he said to you was “kid, I didn’t know you were being serious when you said you would die for this job” both of you chuckled. You looked around the room noticing someone in the chair next to your bed, it was Roach.
“He been waiting for you ever since he got out of his own bed” Price told you, you heart melted when you heard him say that, “he really cares about you, you should give him a chance” Price said, you looked back at him confused
“I saw the way you two looked at each other when you two first met, you should give it a shot. go on a date with him, you might love it” Price told you “yeah, I’ll think about it” you told him smiling
Now here’s the headcannons
He pretty quiet so he loves to listen to you talk about your day, even if it was bad, in that case he tries to cheer you up and make you feel better.
He’s a good cuddler, he likes being big spoon but prefer having you lay on his chest
(Loves it when he gets to be little spoon)
He’s a pretty good cook, you two have a schedule (he cooks on Monday, you cook on Tuesday, and so on)
But every once a month you two go out to a restaurant
(That’s when he’s home)
When his team found out he had a S/O they were pretty stunned but when they saw you in a picture/met you, they were astonished, I mean how did their mate Roach pull You?
(If you were in the military) they were messing with Roach when they started hearing rumors about him and you going out, but when Roach straight up told them it was true they were stunned, jaws were dropping.
Now if you weren’t in the military, you two moved in together somewhere else, roach had been wanting to move somewhere else so after two years you guys got a house together
Roach is a sweetheart, he’s literally such an amazing bf, like a golden retriever but can also just casually turn into German Shepard police dog
Roach doesn’t get jealous easily, it’s pretty hard to get him jealous cause he knows you would never cheat, but he does get mad when guys put there hands on you without consent (obviously)
(For non-military reader) So it’s not like he tries to stop you from going to car meets, he actually enjoys going with you
He finds that you actually know a few of the people there and he becomes friends with them because you always find them
He also takes note of the ones you like, the rims you like, the colors or wraps so he can make you a future Christmas or birthday gift.
Yeah he’s a good bf
NSFW? He’s probably like 7.6 inches maybe even a little bigger
He likes to give oral (a bit more than receiving)
Sometimes he gets lost in the moment and ends up hurting you a bit but never hurt hurting you, probably just digging his nails into your hips
Leaves hickeys each time, he can’t not leave a mark on you, he likes that it looks like claiming almost
Also likes waking up and seeing all the scratches on his back from the night before
(F!reader moment)
Loves it when (he’s giving you oral) and you push his head down, or wrap you legs around him more, it makes him go feral knowing you want more
Position? He probably just loves the basics: missionary, doggy, downward dog, cowgirl
Favorites are probably missionary and cowgirl
He’s open to do anything with you other than bdsm probably, like choking would never happen
As I said he loses himself in the moment sometimes so he would never even trust himself with choking you or wtv
That’s it 🤗

You can’t sleep.
Might be because you’re not in your own bed. Could be jet lag kicking in. But it’s probably due to the fact that you’re sandwiched between your two very hot friends, Jungkook and Namjoon, as they both slumber beside you. 
Ten years ago, you would’ve been elated to find yourself lying between your two crushes. Tonight, though, you’re worn out from traveling, and you’re burning up, because they’re not just gorgeous, they’re literally hot, warmth radiating from both like they’re living, breathing furnaces. And the motel’s ancient AC unit is failing to keep the temp down. 
The night started on a high as you met up for dinner and drinks. Although it’s been a decade since you were together, you easily fell back into your old rapport. The three of you were a perpetual trio on campus - where one went, the other two always followed. But you never went there with either of them. Time and again you’d had a chance to say something, do something, but you never found the nerve, and your crushes went unrequited.
At check-in, the motel couldn’t find your reservation. Namjoon graciously offered to let you crash with him and Jungkook. But the motel messed up their booking as well, giving them a room with only one bed. And thanks to the college reunion that brought you all to town, there are no vacancies tonight. 
Your friends insisted that you take the bed, but you’d stubbornly countered that you could share. A queen-sized bed is big enough for three, right? Maybe, if two of those three aren’t as ridiculously swole as Jungkook and Namjoon. When had they become gym rats and why weren’t you notified? Perhaps deleting your social media was a mistake. God only knows how many Insta thirst traps you’ve missed. 
It’s just too hot. Your t-shirt and shorts are sticking to you. If only you were alone, so you could peel them off. Maybe you should’ve let the guys have the bed and slept on the floor. It’s probably a lot cooler down there. 
You shift slightly, seeking a more comfortable position. The mattress appears to be carved from stone and your back already aches. And sweat is starting to trickle… well, everywhere. As you fidget, your hips brush against Jungkook’s. There’s no change in his steady breathing, so you twist, turning onto your stomach. No relief is found there, so you roll back onto your side, bringing a knee up, your ass bumping him again as you contort yourself into a less painful pose.
A tattooed hand suddenly grabs your hip. 
“Noona. Stop that.” Jungkook rumbles, the command laced with exhaustion and maybe… frustration?
“Sorry,” you whisper over your shoulder, trying not to wake Namjoon. “Just trying to find the right position to keep my back from hurting.” 
“Well, unless getting your back blown out will help with that, you gotta stop rubbing on me.” 
“I - what?” Shocked by Jungkook’s response, you roll over to face him. He’s always been a flirt, but he’s never brazenly offered to, uh, perform sexual chiropractics on you before. He smirks at you in the dim light filtering into the room through the dingy blinds. 
“You heard me.” His hand finds your side again, and your gaze wanders up his inked arm and across his broad bare chest. 
“Do I need to give you two the room?” Another deep voice grumbles.
You roll over again to find Namjoon facing you, dark dragon eyes cracked open sleepily.
“No, I’m not sure what Kook is on about, but I’m just trying to get comfy,” you reply, flopping onto your back. 
“Is the heat bothering you?” Namjoon asks. “I was afraid to crank the AC too high, didn’t want it to short out.” 
“It is pretty warm,” you admit, and Namjoon hums apologetically.
Fingers tug on the bottom of your t-shirt. 
“You could take this off,” Namjoon murmurs huskily, sliding the fabric up your stomach slightly, and you shiver at his gentle touch. “Might help a little. Would you be more comfortable without clothes?”
“Uh….” ‘Comfortable’ seems to be a relative term here. More sweat prickles your forehead as you fail to reply, gaze bouncing from man to man. 
Something pulls at the fabric on your thigh. You glance down and watch the tattoos on Jungkook’s hand flex as he grips the thin material of your shorts. 
“What… what is happening right now?” You’re pretty sure you’re not dreaming, since you can feel every droplet of sweat beading all over your body. Not to mention the wetness pooling between your thighs.
“Kook-ah and I had a long talk a while ago,” Namjoon informs you, hand still playing with the hem of your shirt. “About regrets.” You tilt your head to peer at his face. There’s a yellow flicker in his eyes, just the streetlight outside reflecting there, but you could so easily believe it’s a flame.
“Do you have any regrets, Noona?” Jungkook purrs. His nose nuzzles into your ear, and you gasp as his soft breath tickles the sensitive skin there. “Anything you ever wish you’d said? Or done?”
“Um…” It’s very hard to think with a pair of teeth nibbling sharply on your earlobe and several large hands sliding beneath your clothes. You stare at the ceiling as if it might have an answer for you to give, but there’s nothing there except the outline of a water stain.
“We both agreed that this reunion is a second chance. That if any opportunities arose, we’d seize them.” The bunched cloth of your shirt pauses at the underside of your breasts, as Namjoon’s hand halts in its path. 
“So what do you say, Noona?” Dark curls fall across Jungkook’s brow as he draws back to study your expression. “Are you with us?” 
You uncurl your fingers from where they’ve been digging into the sheets beneath you. Placing one hand over Jungkook’s and the other over Namjoon’s, you nod. “Yeah. I’m with you. Seize away.”

Congrats Rhi!!! You so deserve the followers, you're so talented and I honestly can't get enough of your work 😊 for the sleepover can I ask for some fluff with Frank and reader being neighbors? I'm so sorry, it's my favorite trope ever lol
hi christie my lovely, thank you so much for your kind, uplifting words, always. you're such a gem and i absolutely love you from inside out! <333 this is also one of my favourite tropes, so enjoy! <3 (don't mind me changing my format again because i am indecisive 😵‍💫)
check out my 500 sleepover!
fluff headcanons | being neighbours with frank
frank castle would be the dream neighbour. not only is he the absolute sweetest, but c'mon, the way this man is gorgeous from head to toe?
his kitchen window faces yours, so he comes to the window whenever you're washing up or cooking, taps on the glass so you open yours, and asks you about your day
sometimes he just watches (or well, he's trying to be subtle) -- suddenly finding a random dish in the sink to wash up or put away; making any excuse possible to see you
meeting you over the shared fence, leaning those incredible forearms over top, sweat beading on his forehead as he works out or plays with his dog in his backyard
disrespectfully looking while he's doing said workouts, shirtless and grunting
also, him noticing that you're looking and flexing, making you loosen a little gasp
inviting him over for games and wine, just the two of you
and you're trying to convince yourself that he's just your neighbour and you don't like each other like that
but the way he beams when he sees you... it makes you think differently
he helps you fix stuff that breaks in your house, and gets rid of the bugs you don't want to kill (he's big and scary, but it's funny because he never kills the bugs; he lets them loose outside)
frank gets worried when you're home late, or when you don't come home at all. he wonders if you think the same of him when he goes out of town, or when he stumbles home bloody in the middle of the night
there's a guy you've been seeing a while, and you're not sure if it's going anywhere. sure, he's very charming for a lawyer, and he has the body of a greek god, but nothing compares to the way frank makes your heart flutter
shit. did you really just admit that?
frank castle, the man you've lived next to for a good while, the man you know everything but also nothing about?
one night, it's late, and you can't sleep. you're standing in your kitchen, hair messed up from your fitful attempt at rest, but you flick the light on, peering into frank's window to see if there's any chance, any chance at all that he too might be awake
and he is. evidently roused by the light emanating from your kitchen at what? three in the morning? wearing nothing but sweatpants until he tugs a tight fitting t-shirt over his head
"do you-- can i come over?" he mouths
"yes" you whisper, eyes twinkling
and he asks you what's wrong as he steps over the threshold of your front door, pulling you into a hug that leaves you breathless. "it's not that murdock guy keepin' you up, i hope?"
your eyes narrow a little. you've never told frank the name of the guy you were seeing, but you shrug. "no- no, frank. he's uh... we haven't seen each other in a while. just... can't sleep tonight. needed some company. familiar company."
"of course. what do you need?"
you look up into his brown eyes, expression softened at the way you're biting back a smile. the moonlight filters in through your windows, highlighting every contour of his face, every little perfect imperfection you've come to know and love.
love?
"shit, darlin'... if i- if i didn't know better, i would've thought you were gonna ask me to kiss you--"
"i want you to kiss me"
and his eyebrows raise, his hands still firmly on your forearms. but he presses his lips together, corners turning up into a small smile that radiates through him
your eyes dart up, suddenly nervous. "only if you want to"
and he tilts your chin up, gaze flickering over your face before it settles on your lips. "nothin' would make me happier"

Alrighty let's go Just a little heads up I will touch a bit on the accident itself as just some background info. Rambles underneath the read more
Okay okay so For some background, what I'm mostly talking about is the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Essentially back in April of 1986 (which thinking about it now isn't really that long ago), a routine systems check of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant failed and caused the amassing chemicals and heat to explode and blast radiation into the surrounding areas causing radiation fires to the surrounding forests. The nearby city of Pripyat was evacuated and many pets were left behind. Fun little tidbit: Mr. Bobinsky in Coraline is theorized to have participated in the liquidators (people who were fighting the fires and trying to clean up the mess) due to the medal he wears! Now unfortunately the nearby forests had burned down from the fires. And regarding the elephant's foot (a conglomerate mass of radioactive waste material) not much is known about what is currently happening with it since the elephants foot ate at the flooring and is most likely at the lowest floor of the building. The roof had been mostly sealed over but for all we know the elephants foot could be getting better or worse. There just isn't a whole lot the can be done due to the high levels of radiation.
Which is why the exclusion zone was set up and will most likely remain that way for the foreseeable future.
Now, fast forward Despite the high levels of radiation life finds a way. Remember how I said pets had been left behind due to the immediate danger? Well, interestingly enough over the years dogs have actually created their own species by interbreeding and essentially creating the Chernobyl dog!
Tumblr media
While we are still studying the genetics of the free roaming dogs, surprisingly many live near the vicinity of the power plant. Genetically these dogs have a LOT of genetic diversity but most prominently have german shepherd and various kinds of Eastern Shepherd breeds in their dna and even in another city, some dog families were found with dna common in boxers and rottweilers.
Now, it's not just pets that are thriving in the exclusion zone but also wildlife.
Wildlife has skyrocketed and made itself home in the radioactive land.
Wolves, coyotes, hawks, various species of bird, and most famously, the endangered Prezwalski's horse. Granted most fauna in the zone have significantly shorter life spans but regardless they are growing and surviving successfully. What is curious is the Prezwalski's were native all across Europe and Asia but almost went completely extinct due to farming and competition for resources.
Tumblr media
However, 15 were captured and raised and then released into the Chernobyl wilderness as part of conservation efforts. Those fifteen horses are the grandparents of the 115 horses in Chernobyl and 2000 altogether across Europe and Asia. What the coolest thing about the Prezwalski's though is the fact that they are the closest living cousin to ancient horses. The horses you would see on cave paintings and in stories. They are the last of the "true wild" horses (Btw fellow Americans who don't know uhm, I hate to break it to ya but the American wild horses is a myth. Unfortunately the native wild horse to America went extinct centuries ago and what we have now is the domesticated and selective bred horses from Europe and Spain.) (I have more I can talk about Chernobyl, I've barely even gotten a 1/4 of the way through but I am a little sleepy and tumblr is throwing a fit and I don't want to lose my progress)
Me when my ecology teacher doesn't want to hear me talk about Chernobyl again for a presentation
Tumblr media
(I hate presentations but I love talking about Chernobyl and how it's impacted and changed perspective on how nature continues to thrive and move on please I prommy I can do a better presentation than I did last time, lemme talk about radioactive moss pretty please-)

All The Damn Time
Tumblr media
Pairing: Adrian Chase x plus size! reader
Summary: You scold and nurse your boyfriend when he comes to your place, bloody and bruised.
Warning: blood, scars, stitches, vulgar language, mentions of sex, a bit of peril
Adrian was cut all over his body. He thinks he bruised a rib as every time he breathed, he felt like a cow was sitting on him.
To quickly recap, he thought it would be a smart move to use his gun near a highly sensitive radiator during a mission.
How was he supposed to know it would blow up?
Small bits of metal was still lodged in his skin as the impact of the explosion made him hard to walk. Chris was able to carry him out and stole a car to travel to the nearest hospital.
"No hospital, man. I don't want to risk them taking off my mask." Adrian said, hissing as talking too much was taking all out of energy out of him.
"Well, where do you think we should go dipshit?" Chris asks.
"My-My place, my girl's there waiting for me. She's a pre-med." Adrian sputtered out.
"Wait, you have a girl?" Chris said, staring surprisingly at him.
Adrian grunts louder, making Chris swerve to where his friend lives.
Once he parked, Chris runs to Adrian's side and wrapped an arm around the back of his neck as they slowly walked to the small stairs of the door. Chris banged on it and looked down at Adrian.
"How pissed will your girlfriend be with me bringing you home like this?" Adrian laughs at Peacemaker.
"She'll stab you with the scissors in the first aid."
Two of the men look up to who said that as they see you with anger all over your face.
Adrian was about to say something but you raised your hand for him to shut up.
"Put him on the couch." You said sternly to Chris.
He obeys as he walks into your shared space and lays down Vigilante on the couch. Chris steps aside for you to do your work as you tore off your boyfriend's armor and mask. For once, Adrian chooses not to speak as you're still mad that he arrived home like this.
Chris needs to asks for your secret to shut him up.
"You big baby." You mutter under your breath as you start taking out the small bits of metal as Adrian yelps in pain.
"I'm your big baby..." Your boyfriend replies, trying to ease the tension.
Chris quietly gags in his mouth and decides to walk around your shared apartment. He sees polaroid pictures that decorated the walls. There's some of you flicking off the camera or some of Adrian who's making those ridiculous faces. He then sees a framed picture of both of you at your undergraduate, where your boyfriend dips you as you shared a romantic picture.
"My favorite picture." You said as you were near Chris.
He looks at you and sees the blood-stained latex gloves that you wore.
"Will he be alright?" Chris asks.
You look down at your hands and see how you might have scared him off. You take it off and disposed of the gloves.
"He'll be fine. He just passed out after I stitched him up."
Chris chuckles as you move around the kitchen that connected hallway he was in and sat by the kitchen island.
"Adrian never talks about you." Chris said out loud, trying not to be disrespectful.
You give a dry laugh as you washed your hands in the sink.
"Yeah, he um... thinks I'll be in danger if people knew if I was associated with Vigilante. But he doesn't care if he was in danger." You said, drying your hands.
"I'm sorry, I wished we met under better circumstances," Chris said.
You scoff as you turn around.
"Please, I already knew I would be in some sort of trouble if I met Adrian's hero."
Chris is shell shocked. "What?"
You quirk an eyebrow as you place a hand on your waist.
"The man talks about you 24/7. Even when we're having sex, he wants to check how you're doing. I even think you were the person who inspired him to get into this mess." You said.
Chris feels some sort of pride in his heart, he just thought that Vigilante was an annoying piece of shit. But all he wanted to do was be best friends with the person who shaped his path.
"You can stay until he wakes up." You said to Chris.
"I'm alright, I need to check on Eagly. He gets angsty if I'm not around." He said, already making his way out.
He turns to you before turning the knob.
"Tell him he's a good kid." Chris says as he leaves your place
'That man and his damn eagle.' you thought, rolling your eyes.
You then turn around to your boyfriend who was snoring like a pig. You filled a glass of water from the sink and splashed it in his face, making him sit up abruptly.
"Motherfuck-" your boyfriend screams, then moans as he remembers his bruised rib.
"That's for almost dying today, you asshole!" You screamed, crossing your arms.
He lowers his head down, ashamed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come home like this." He says, looking at you with puppy eyes.
You grunt from how fuckin' cute he is as you grab a small cloth and sit on the coffee table, drying him up.
"You're lucky I love you, you dumb fuck." You said, carefully wiping away the drops of water that were mixing with the grime and dry blood on his face.
He stops you with his free hand and stares at you. He didn't even have to say a word as he knows what his side job makes you feel.
Your eyes begin to water as you sob in his chest, as he wrapped his arms around you.
"I worry about you, all the damn time. You think you're so invincible because you don't think about the consequences, but what about me? I don't like how I think that tomorrow will be our last day together. What if one day, we have kids and I said that their daddy died because he has a freakin death wish, huh?" You said.
He bites his lip, seeing how torn his actions made you feel.
"You're right, I wasn't thinking." He admits.
You don't see the sincerity of his response, so he grabs your hands into his.
"Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it." He says.
"Anything?" You question. He nods his head yes.
"No sex, for a week." You said with a serious look.
His facial expression looks like you just broke up with him.
"E-ven-"
"Yes, even oral and masturbation," you replied, knowing that he would ask that.
He visibly gulps but releases a sigh.
"Okay." He simply says, kissing your knuckles.
He knows something like that would happen, but he wants to earn your love and respect. You would tell him to cut off his fingers and he would do it without question.
Having no physical intimacy for a week? He'll survive for now.
He pulls you in his arms as both of you carefully layed down on the couch, as he holds the dips in your waist.
"I love you, and I promise to be more careful." He says, looking at you with those doe eyes.
You kiss his nose, then his lips as you hold onto each other.
"Oh, by the way... Chris said that you're a good kid."
"WHAT?" he screams like a fangirl.
'oh boy' you thought as your boyfriend squeals out that this was the best day of his life.
