#the starling and her darling

[yakool-foolio]

Do you hav3 any personal theories on what Yakou’s wife’s name could be?

I do! It's less of a theory and moreso a 'well we don't know her name but this sounds fitting so I'll go with that' kinda deal. My personal choice for her name is Yonaka! Ya can find my full reasonings in this reblog so I don't sound like a broken record. This was prior to Yakou's DLC releasing, but I've been sticking with it! I also like to think Yakou gave her star-related nicknames, such as 'starlight' or 'starling' (pun on 'darling' but is also a very pretty bird!).

I've been layering on the symbols used as personifying metaphors for these characters, mostly cause they end up being utilized a lot when I write Vivia's dialogue for short stories n ditties. I'll probably make a separate post someday later about what symbol is tied with each character for future reference, mostly for my sake whenever I'm writing for Vivia heh.

[bigbrainbiology]

I'd like to be able to stream and hang out when I draw one day <3

I decided to name this OC 'Saengdao' - แสงดาว, meaning 'Starlight'

Whilst it's not quite how Thai nicknames work, I think shortening her name to 'Dao' - ดาว, as a nickname would be cute as this also means Star!

[crypt-keepers-den]

I need more of Astarion and his little spawns- You don't understand how much I fucking loved that fic, PLEASE WE NEED MORE DADDY STARION 😭😭😭

I DIED BUT NOW IM BACK ENJOY!

𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐬 (𝐃𝐚𝐝𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐧)

Astarion never claimed he'd be a good father, but as soon as your little ones arrived into the world he sure was the proudest. When Lyra, your oldest had been born he fainted (can vampires faint idk), and when you announced your pregnancy with your youngest, Caspian, he was elated and told anyone who'd listen that his darling was blessing him with a second child.

when your oldest was born he was too frightened to hold her, in fear that he'd hurt her, but after a long talk from you (and a stern talking from halsin who'd offered to help you deliver naturally) he did hold her, frozen in place however as he did so. "she's perfect my darling" soft silvery tears cascading down his pale cheeks as the new-born yawns, when your youngest was born, he was prepared this time, holding your hand with confidence as you brought a new life into the world, bringing your 1yr old daughter into the bedroom to meet her baby brother, the elf had a grin etched on his face.

becoming a parent is one thing, but a parent to a dhampir baby is another, when lyra started teething you found out the harsh way. One evening you had lifted the infant to breastfeed her, settling back down on the couch with the infant nestled to your chest as she contently latched, your adoring husband sitting next to you a book in hand, his free hand stroking the top of his daughter's head. "star, read that page again i was too focused on lyra" he nods starting again until he heard a sudden yelp from you, "my love whatever's wrong?" he watches you exam the giggling baby's mouth "holy Avernus, star she's got fangs!" his eyes widened at your discovering as he leans over to see what your talking about, your holding the drooling baby's mouth open to allow him to see the two little white points that had pierced through lyra's gum. His eyes widen now understanding what had happened causing him to laugh, earning him a rough slap to the shoulder and a stern glare. safe to say you switched from breastfeeding to bottle and continued to do so with your second born (not that it helped but it saved your poor breasts from being gummed on by your children atleast).

Astarion prided himself in his inability to say 'no' to his children, "papa can i has?" caspian stares up at his father with the same puppy dog eyes you use on him, "caspian no treats before dinner!" you'd call out, the little boy would then pout before looking back up at his daddy, "papa a'peas", oh dear your son has him in the palm of his chubby little hands, astarion cant remember his childhood anymore, nothing but faint smells of what he assumes is his mother's perfume, but he does remember having nothing when he was under cazadors control. And he had made a promise at each child's birth, they'd never suffer like he had and they'd want for nothing. in this scenario its astarion sneaking your son a cookie before dinner, the pair hiding under the kitchen table laughing "our little secret little starling" , "you two know i can see you right?" "quick run!". with choas ensueing as you chastise the pair for ruining their appetite for dinner.

"lyra please stopping scaring your brother with your bat form!", the first time your daughter had found out she could shift scared you shitless, toddler lyra suddenly poofing into a bat mid hiccup causing you and astarion to jump out of your skin, not knowing how to get lyra to turn back until she hiccups again poofing back and landing in a panicked astarion's arms while giggling at her parents panicked faces. Since then astarion had taught her how to use it properly, however she had a terrible habit of scaring her little brother with it, startling the tot causing him to wail and run to the nearest parent crying "a bwat!, a mama! a papa! noo!" earning lyra a scolding, you and astarion made her promise to not use her abilities in the cottage and not infront of her brother, not until he was a little older anyway.

(hey! im back with some dadstarion stuff! how are we all liking this? i could go on forever about dadstarion scenarios, what would you like to see?)

[kararisa]

darling, starling

— 23. neon escape — ✦ (wc: 0.7k)

You first found this little spot at the end of your senior year.

The untamed greenery yields with a satisfying crunch as you dismount from Scaramouche’s motorcycle. A cool breeze brushes against your face as you eventually arrive at a clearing that overlooks the Inazuman cityscape. Towering skyscrapers command the horizon, windows reflecting the vibrant neon lights that litter the urban skyline. The air here is alive with the hum of insects, replacing the commotion of the city you’ve grown used to.

This view hasn’t changed at all, but you can’t say the same for yourself. Or for the person you’re with.

“You know,” Scaramouche starts, leaning against the railing. “You didn’t need to drag me all the way out here just to ask me how I’m doing.”

You give him an unimpressed look. “I didn’t drag you anywhere, thank you. I wanted to go here and you happily agreed.” A white lie. Both of you knew that.

Your gaze sweeps across the breathtaking view from the elevated terrace, catching the glimmer of city lights and distant stars. “Besides, I know you like this spot.”

It’s been a year since the two of you last stepped here. A year since Scaramouche returned to Inazuma.

A year since you asked him to live with you.

"I'm sorry for dragging you into this mess." The words don't feel like a sufficient apology. Even before your deal, he’s been subjected to tabloid gossip and rumors just by being your friend. Now he’s being bombarded by the press more than ever.

Scaramouche scoffs, "Don't be stupid. I was the one who proposed the deal in the first place."

“We could end it early,” you start. “I mean our projects are guaranteed to be published. The two of us could even gain a bit of clout if we time it right.”

“I get that you’re concerned about my safety, but I know how to hide.” he rebuts. To be fair, he does have a point. He and his sister did grow up in the public eye because of who their mothers are. Well-respected journalist Yae Miko and multi-award-winning actress Raiden Ei. Who doesn’t know their names in this industry?

It’s been a while since Scaramouche last spoke with them. Their relationship never really went back to normal after what happened with his aunt.

It was all over the news when it happened. Actress Raiden Makoto dies in fatal car crash — her sister, her nephew, and her niece sustain minor injuries. It made headlines for a month before the world moved on.

You know this. It’s why he hates being in cars, after all.

After a minute of silence, Scaramouche breaks the silence with a voice laced with both determination and a hint of resignation..

“Once our deal is over and everyone mourns the death of our relationship, I’ll move back to Sumeru and we can stay on friendly terms. It’s the best-case scenario for us.”

“That won’t be necessary. But you being harassed on the daily was never a part of the deal.” Liar. You knew from the beginning that this torment would be a part of his life again if he accepted. You even went as far as to warn him.

And yet he chooses to stay with you, even if it’s only because of your deal. Why?

It’s likely due to the potential backlash he’ll receive if the two of you were to break up. You’re not blind to the hate the two of you get on a daily basis. But is this really easier?

“Me going back to Sumeru after all of this is said and done is for the best, and you know it. Rumors would just stir up if the two of us still lived together after we split up.

“And I don’t care about the harassment. I knew what I was getting into when I made that deal with you. I’m not stupid,” he turns to face you, his indigo-blue eyes reflecting fragments of the night sky. “And neither are you. So stop thinking you can get rid of me that easily.”

His words are laced with a gentleness you’re unused to. Here he is, saying he’ll leave while saying he’ll stay with you. What the hell is his problem?

But whether you like it or not, he’s here with you for the time being. And damn it, you’ll cling to every last second with him if it’s the last thing you’ll do.

✧— previous — masterlist — next —✧

summary: being the world-famous singer-songwriter "zenith", the limelight has been on you ever since the start of your career. however, the media becomes relentless when leaks of music you never meant to release begin to circulate. your friend scaramouche, meanwhile, seems to have gotten stuck while writing his second book. with a deadline fast approaching, he comes to you with a deal: act as if you're dating him so he can gather reference material and, in turn, he'll help keep the press' eyes off of your leaks until you release your next album. a win-win in your book, so why not help a friend out?

Clannibal au

au where both Clarice and Lecter work as criminologists with the fbi

-when she first starts working with him he is looking forward to testing her and getting under her skin

-he’s suprised when this doesn’t work and soon she’s looking like more of a threat, working faster than him and taking on his responsibilities

-despite the tacit power struggle and attempts to one-up the other they soon learn to work together, staying up late in the office well past their hours. sometimes just hanging around until the other is finished

-when they finish particularly late Lecter sometimes walks Clarice to her car

-Clarice intensely reading a file while Lecter stares at her with an equal intensity

-Lecter falling for all her micro-habits, chewing the end of her pen, tapping it against her chin, resting her head in her hands

-constantly mocking her accent

-leave sticky note messages to each other, Clarice usually leaves him reminders or asks for something done

- they both spend more time at work than at home, it becomes a domestic setting to them

-they take it in turns to make each other tea or coffee and know how the other takes it ,Lecter brings in the expensive brands and doesn’t bat an eyelid at Clarice using them

-both ditching the office christmas party to smoke outside and talk about their current case

-Clarice proof-reading some of Lecter’s work for him only to find doodles of herself in the margins

-they become completely co-dependent, they can’t work without each other but also refuse to work with anyone else

-they are both perfectionists and obsess over every job they get, Lecter has a natural attention to detail and Clarice is extremely dedicated and fixated on any task that comes her way

-‘Starling’ accidentally becomes ‘darling’ one day, he pretends nothing happens but is secretly embarrassed about it the whole week

-Lecter frequents a cafe nearby for his breaks, Clarice prefers using her time off to keep working but he encourages her to join him

-they end up going to that cafe constantly, even after work they go for ‘dates’ but neither of them would dare call it that

-Clarice actually prefers the tea that Lecter makes for her at their office but she likes to come with him for the chance to relax and to get to know him better

-when Clarice is weeks deep in a case and it has consumed her life she falls asleep over her work, she wakes up to find Lecter has finished off her notes for her so she didn’t fall behind. He pretends it didn’t happen but she’s very touched.

-Clarice saves up to buy some office decor, she can’t afford much but a picture or two and cushions for their chairs. When Lecter sees what she’s done he comes in with a plethora of desktop decor from practical organisers to useless ornaments. Clarice’s favourite is a paper weight with a moth encased in glass, she uses it for everything.

-the room smells like Clarice’s perfume (among the smells of paper and coffee), if Lecter stays later than her it feels as if she’s still there and it is very comforting to him

just clannibal falling in love through the mundanity of life and being able to work closely together as a team

also Clarice’s betrayal when she realises he’s the serial killer they’ve been tracking and he disappears leaving their shared office empty… pt 2 maybe hehe

Hi, I recently read Alison Rumfitt's book Tell me I'm Worthless and I loved it so I requested her other book brainwyrms from my local library. But i was wondering if there are any other trans or lesbian horror books.

Sure are! If you like her stuff, check out Gretchen Felker-Martin's as well - Manhunt and Cuckoo, and there's also The Woods All Black by Lee Mandelo - trans horror but with a male protag (and historical). A little further away, Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White and Old Wounds by Logan Kisner are YA trans horror. And in lesbian, check out My Darling Dreadful Thing by Johanna Van Veen, The Wicked and the Willing by Lianyu Tan, We Ate the Dark by Mallory Pearson, Yellow Jessamine by Caitlin Starling, and Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield.

Night time wip of Cassie Starling from Star Darlings!

I miss this series

The designs were so cute, the concept was nice, and the MUSIC

I kinda want the books just to have

Posca markers are so finicky sometimes

Cassie matches my astral sign, even though I'm apparently a cusp, so her and Leona

[mosneakers]

Hey darlings! Since I don't have any more Halloween treats planned this year, I just want to take you with me for a moment, as we reflect on probably one of my most ambitious projects to date; the Rocky Horror Picture Show homage the characters of My Darling 4 put on 🥺💖 It was well over 30 renders consisting of both stills,animations, gifs and videos. And of course the last finale post, which came an entire year later, the Rose Tint My World scene, which felt like making a whole new movie all on it's own. I definitely caused myself some burn-out but I think the end result was well worth it! During this time I got to connect with some lovely souls who reached out, sharing their experiences with me about RHPS and living in the era where annual RHPS showings were a common tradition, and just stories I probably wouldn't have heard had I not taken this on. I got to geek out with fellow simmers who shared our passion for the movie (for example, @whyhellosims who SLAYED her take on it with her OC Felix!) It was so fun and exciting to put the MD4 characters in situations they'd normally never be in (Coni and Brick? I'm sorry??? Tycho and Morgyn in bed sharing a steamy kiss? I'm SORRY? STARLING WORKING A MINIMUM WAGE JOB? SHUT. UP.) I look back on this project so fondly, I feel like each of the characters matched RHPS so well, it just felt like fate ❤ Thank you all who showed so much love during that time, it definitely kept me fueled!

Check out the whole series here 💋

🩷 This is something I wanted to make this to another friend, @dearest-painter . She's seems to be a big fan of yandere, and she's also a big fan of both Lewis Legend & Mariska. I recommend you go look at her blogs as they are just as great as my other friends. 🩷

Pairing: Yandere Lewis Legend x Starling!Fem!Nurse!Reader

Genre: Romance

Warning: Possessive Behavior, Major Character death

Fandom: Lollipop Chainsaw Repop

Summary: Hiding won't help you out when you're being hunted down by a zombie who knows all the right places.

Note: This is inspired by one of posts created by @dearest-painter . Her last post had ended with a cliffhanger and I wanted write what happens next. I also believe you wear the nurse outfit from the game, only that I had added some more details to it.

"Damn it, babe! When I get my hands on you, I'll show you why you dont try hiding from me!"

Those are the only words you remember before everything went down. Now, you were hiding under a desk keeping yourself from being noticed by the strongest & last member of the dark purveyors.

Sadly enough, Juliet had sacrifice herself to save you and Nick which ended up with her getting killed in the process to which adds up to two lifeless bodies, your lover & now your sister.

You were able to put Nick's head in a more secure and safe place inside a closet so he won't killed too. As much as he wanted to protest wanting to avenge his dead girlfriend, you knew you're sister would've wanted him to be save much more as you.

Unfortunately, it won't be too long before Lewis finds you and does god's know what to you.

Though, he's not your only concern. You were worried about the rest of your family and friends as well. Knowing full well that those other purveyors, including Swan, are after their darlings as well. And they will not be taking no for a answer.

Those could be one of the main reasons why the whole zombie apocalypse is happening in San Romero once again. If anything, you were really hoping that the rest of your family are still alive as well.

You heard the footsteps getting closer to your hiding spot as you kept your mouth close not wanting to make a peep. Your heart beating rapidly as you felt every pase as you were holding your breath. Looking down, you can see his shadow creeping across the tile floor crossing your path.

Suddenly, the footsteps stop as the shadow came into a halt causing you to tense up, worried it might be the end for you.

It been few minutes before the sound of the footsteps came back, but in a opposite direction from you, taking the shadow with it. Before you knew it, they came into a further distant as the steps became quieter as you heard the door slide close and they disappeared.

Relief washed over you as the feeling of the coast being cleared came into mind as you crawl out from your hiding place. The next thing that came to thought was your presumably deceased sister's boyfriend, Nick, who still in the closet just outside in the hallway.

Without even checking the room, you ran to the door only to find it locked from the inside. And before you can think of anything else...

"Did you really think you can hide from me for so long?"

....You had nearly jumped when you heard a hand slammed on the right side of the door right close next to your ear. You immediately spun around and you're eyes were met with two dead tired eyes as you found yourself pinned to the hard surface.

Lewis smirk down at your pathetic attempts to puts some distance between you both as you started hitting his chest viciously. "Let go of me!" You exclaimed as you tried to fight him off with every might you have left.

He laughed. "Struggle all you want, I'm not letting you out of my sight again, babe!"

You immediately pulled out one of your arms swung at Lewis in attempt to slap him. However, he had caught it before the palm of your hand could make contact to his jaw and held them in strong grip. "Feisty little whore, I love that!"

Before you knew it, your back was off the door and onto the hospital bed with your feet still on the floor as Lewis held both your wrists above your head keeping you in place.

You had wanted to scream, curse, or just called him any offensive names you can think of. But before you could, you instantly became silent with something pressing against your lips....

His lips....

You frozed.

Your face was suddenly flustered as you blushed into a light shade of red and you immediately shut your eyes closed.

It was your first kiss. Your very first kiss. And the biggest part of it is, you never had kiss your lover, even when you had started dating. Which means, the zombie of rock n roll just stole it, single handily.

Just as you were about to give in to it, it ended.

And not long after, the buttons on the top of your white dress were suddenly being unbuttoned, barely revealing your bra that fits perfectly and tightly to your bare breast.

You knew what was about to happen, and you were unsure if you should fight him off or just let him be in charge and enjoy the pleasure.

With your eyes still close, you merely gasped as Lewis lips were now at your collarbone, only this time, you can also feeling the tip of his tongue.

"I got a feeling when I start biting, you're gonna be begging for more..."

I would really, reaaally, really appreciate suggestions of some good fanfiction about Clarice Starling. I can never get enough of her in the books, not to mention movies, and I want to undergo a thorough read with lots of her introspections. Be a darling, share your finding!

[zerogravityinq]

Nicknames Harry gives his Kids [and Bruce]

i am completely normal about my little crossover AU....But IF I WASN'T

Harry's nickname/pet name for Bruce and Jason is BruBear and JayBear respectively because they are both so big. He uses Jason's more as a confidence booster then in full effect when he was grown and massive.

He doesn't have a nickname for Dick since they are not particularly close and Dick had a grudge against him for the longest time. If he uses one its usually just Dickie or Dickiebird.

He calls Tom, Tomcat or Hissyfit usually to mock him. If he's actually being affectionate he calls him Tommy or Sweetheart.

Cass is Little Shadow and Rina [short for Ballerina]

He calls Tim, Dragon or Little Bird [side note, Bruce calls him Duckie]

Steph is called Steffie or Ame [short for amethyst] or Aubie [nickname for Aubergine which is another name for Eggplant]

Harper is called Gadget, Gidget, or Tinker

Conner is called Starling or Darling

Cullen is called Len. Lenny or Sweetie

Damian is called Baby, Baby Bird, or DamiDarling.

Terry is called Little Bat, Baby Bat and Ter-Bear

Lilith is called Little Boo, Little Demon or Lili

Danny is called Prince Boo, King Boo, Baby Boo

Bonus: Calls Barbara Barbie because Barbie can do anything. He's the only one she allows to call her that.

Poly and Love Triangles Snippets

Written for if the player is bisexual. If the player chooses only  female love interests, then all the RO's are all women. Same as for if  the player chooses only male love interests.

Poly Groups

“Darling, who is this?” The lady gazed at you, her gloved hand still lingering on Victor’s forearm.

He shot a smile at you, the spell between him and the Soprano broken the moment he cast his lazy green eyes over to you.

“They,” Victor slipped from her fingers and cupped your elbow, his secret, soft smile soothing your beating heart. “Are my companion for the evening.”

“Ah.” She stared at you for just a moment, but in that very moment, there was something dark and cunning and hungry slipped into her own pale green eyes. Then it dissolved into warm sea foam and she extended her hand for you. “Quincy Beaumont. Hope you enjoyed my performance, especially since you’ve stolen Victor for the evening.”

Victor stiffened up next to you a bit but Quincy didn’t even give him a moment to say anything, slipping her arm through yours and leaning in, almost conspiratorially. The hard glint of sea glass that was her eyes before had vanished, and now there was something else in them. Something you couldn’t quite place…

“Poor old J. Couldn’t hold a candle to you, can they?” She whispered, her satin gloved finger momentarily brushing your chin. “What a gem you are.”

You figured it out. In that moment, you realized that they had the same hunger in their eyes. Both looking at you like they could devour you whole.

“No.”

“But-”

“I said no.” Starling finally gave up his act of aloofness. He tossed his book down to the side and sat up in his chair.

“But Star, I’ll be perfectly safe-”

“That’s not the problem.” You almost jumped out of your skin as a cold hand pressed against the small of your back, Zaniyah leaning forward to rest her chin against your shoulder. “The problem is that the good doctor is worried he might end up with someone else dead hanging around him.”

Starling grumbled in his chair, crossing his arms and eyebrows scrunched.

“Z, I-”

“Although…” Zaniyah gave you such a soft, fond look that it seemed to shut the doctor right up as he watched. “You’re less dignified than a bird, my little love. He won’t be able to stand your pawing at his trousers as he sews up cadavers.”

You couldn’t help but laugh a bit and pecked Zaniyah on the cheek.

“There. A peck instead of the dog licks I usually give you.” You teased her softly as she relaxed fully against your back.

You hadn’t noticed Starling’s silence, not until you finally stopped looking at your undead lover. He had a strange look on his face, the same he used to give you when you were bothering him with your questions a few weeks back. Except he was looking at Zaniyah with the same… Reluctant softness.

Oh.

Ambrose’s warm fingers were laid over your knuckles as you slowly woke up, his head buried into your side as he slept, breathing low and soft. You raised your head groggily, just to smile at his sleeping face, so serene, all sternness dropped. Like a slate wiped clean of dust and scratches.

“Didn’t expect him to be a heavy sleeper.” A voice from the doorway said, and you looked over to see Dietrich. “He used to wake up at the drop of a pin.”

You gave the professor a similar smile you gave Ambrose, as he made his way into the room, holding a tray precariously, laden with a pot of something hot and a few pastries.

“When you were kids?”

“Hmh.” Dietrich set it down on the bedside table and started to pour out the contents into two pretty, porcelain cups, leaving the third one empty. “He also had nightmares. Would take my hand in the middle of the night to make him feel better… Guess your hands are the ones he prefers now.”

You glance down at where Ambrose’s fingers were curled over your hand. Secure. Warm. Protective. Just like him. But… You couldn’t shake the almost sorrowful tone Dietrich’s voice carried. Glancing over at him this time, you managed to catch his soft eyes, fixed on your and Ambrose’ gently clasped hands. He felt your gaze, quickly blinking away and instead fixing up your saucer to have a pastry on the side as he handed it over.

His fingers felt soft, warm, against your own when he handed it over. You couldn’t help but smile up at him, and colour rose to his pale cheeks.

Love Triangles

The nightmare wrenched you awake, and for a few short moments, everything was alright in the world. Until it wasn’t.

“Awh, afraid I’m going to take your place by the fire?”

“No. It’s just discourteous for a guest to outstay their welcome.”

“Hmmm. Your owner has allowed me to stay as long as I want.” Saleos’s soft voice lilted as she teased, an edge appearing to make it tip over into mocking.

“That’s because you’re nothing but a fucking tool.” Seir hissed, his voice growing darker with anger. You felt your connection tug. Better to get up and break up the fight. “And they know they can fucking use you.”

“Hmh.” Saleos hummed. “I bet they will. Such a sweet thing they are-”

There was a crash, glass breaking and you sat bolt upright in bed. Fuck.

The two siblings sat on opposite sides of  the table, Luther nursing a glass of whiskey as Emilia tapped the edge of her cigarette off, into the ashtray, smoke curling up into her eyes. The atmosphere was frigid, still. A far cry from when you had met the both of them all that time ago.

It took them a moment to notice you in the doorway. Emilia spotted you first, straightening up in her chair and putting out her cigarette quickly. You couldn’t help but notice that her shirt was very thin and wasn’t wearing anything underneath it.

“Hey, angel eyes.” She grinned at you, exhaling the last bit of her cigarette smoke.

“Em.” Luther grunted, his calloused fingers tightening around his glass, his impressively broad shoulders tensing. “Stop it.”

“Don’t be such a puritan.” She snorted, leaning back in her chair, her eyes never leaving your figure.

You kept your eyes on him as he drove you towards Thor's creepy dungeon again. You didn't know why he was taking you there but you knew you were completely safe as long as you had him, your eyes drifted towards the strained knuckles on the steering wheel and that's when you noticed the bruise on them.

"What happened there?" You asked him so he shrugged in a manner that always meant "Don't worry about it"

You continued to stare at his face so he looked to the side and gave you the smile that made you want to curl up to him immediately. Moments like this made you wish you were as small as a cat.

"What?" He asked you as your fingers caressed his scalp.

"Can't I just stare at the sexiest guy to walk this planet without being interrupted?" He chuckled as you answered him,

"You really do suck at flirting sweetheart"

"As if you're any better" you smiled at him and you could see the wheels turning in his head.

"I don't need to flirt with you to fuck you" your breath quickened at the deep sultry voice he used.

"That is ummmm well it's true"

It took two hours, you even fell asleep on the way and he couldn't help but keep his eyes on your sleeping form. His heart fluttered at the sight, maybe he needed to cuddle you up sometimes later. He really wanted to make you feel cherished but he just didn't know how to do that, he was only good at fucking things up and hurting you, that came naturally to him, it was in his genes.

He looked around properly this time as Thor's place arrived, it was deep into the woods with no sight of other human beings whatsoever.

"Hey darling wake up" the back of his fingers rubbed over your cheek so you opened your eyes and looked at him. You took your seat belt off and climbed onto his lap like a cat, he appreciated that alot. His arms wrapped around your body as you snuggled into him

"You trust me right?" He asked you again so you hummed in response. Of Course you trusted him, it just felt a little weird to be back here "You're safe I promise okay? He won't hurt you..if he does I'll kill him right on the spot"

"Okay daddy..kiss me" a smile crept on his lips as you mumbled like a child, he grabbed the back of your neck and kissed you as passionately as he could but before it could get heated you heard a knock on the window of his side and it made you jump. It was Thor so loki lowered down the glass of the window.

"Time is up love birds" he snickered so you glared at him "Ohh hey little starling"

You winced at the nickname, it wasn't new, he used to call you that when you were just a kid, you remembered him visiting your mother at the center, especially at nights sometimes when your daddy wasn't there. As he opened the door you looked at Loki so he assured you with his eyes and you stepped out, as soon as Loki came out you grabbed onto his fingers.

"Thor"

"Loki"

They glared at each other momentarily before Thor started to walk away, his dungeon seemed weird, he probably bought it on Craigslist, it was under the ground, there was no structure, just a narrow corridor that lead to a hall and it had four rooms in total, you recognised the one he had kept you in. At the end of the hall there was a kitchenette and what you assumed was his living space

"Where is mother?" Loki asked him as he looked around.

"Sent her someplace away, don't worry about her, she won't trouble you and your little starling…sit down..relax" You crossed your arms as Thor said that

"And where is she?" You looked at him confused as Loki questioned again.

"The first room" Thor answered him

"Where is who?" You asked Loki so he sighed.

"Just stay here and relax okay I'll be back in a few"

"You're leaving me alone with him?" Your eyes teared up so Loki looked at Thor, Thor was looking at him with a constant smile on his face.

"Don't worry okay? Just calm down, I just need you to trust me" He said to you so you nodded, he kissed your forehead before he walked back into the narrow corridor that led to the first room. You turned around and glared at Thor before you picked a chair and sat down.

"Sooooooo what will you have? I have wine, whiskey, plain ol' orange juice..no tea or coffee unfortunately"

He said to you but you didn't respond so he sat down with a glass of whiskey on the single couch. You looked at him and you were going to say something insulting and super mean but then you remembered his life, he wasn't exactly spared from the abuse, you were mad at him for never protecting Loki but maybe just like Loki he didn't have a choice either.

"Lucky lad ain't he, got a sweet girl who'd come back to her kidnappers house so willingly" he smiled but his eyes were teary.

"He'll kill you if you even try–"

"Oh nooo noo ..not trying anything, you're like a sister to me now" you scrunched your face as he said that.

"I'm just going to forget that you didn't drug me that night and kidnapped me and slapped me and tried to rape me"

"I wasn't going to do the rape thingy ..not really, just wanted to see you piss your pants with fear but you surprised me little starling" you rolled your eyes as he said that.

"Why are we here?" He chugged on his drink before he answered you.

"He wanted to see her"

"See who? You said Frigga wasn't here"

"Natasha" your eyes widened at the name. Why the fuck was she here?

"Wait what?"

"Do you really think she changed her statement because she suddenly wanted to be nice?" He chuckled and you didn't need to ask more questions.

"Loki I swear if you don't get me out of here.. I'll destroy you and everything you care about" Loki chuckled as she threatened him. She was in position to do so right now.

"How does it feel to be taken against your will this time for real?" He asked her as he sat down on the chair in front of the bed.

"I have a child, he needs me loki.. pleaseee" her eyes teared up but it only made him feel better.

"Well I'm glad it's not a girl, hell knows you don't deserve a baby girl after what you have done" she chuckled as he said that.

"You think you're on some sort of higher moral ground here lokiii? Really" She taunted him so he smiled.

"I actually don't. I know who I am but you seem to have forgotten. How long do you think you'll survive here? You know how Thor gets when he's ummm angry" her jaw clenched and the facade dropped again.

"Odin should have killed you both" his eyes teared up as she said that. She hasn't changed at all and she never would, he never should have trusted her at all knowing that she fancied a man like his father.

"Anyways just in case you don't know I know where your boy is so don't act funny, I won't hesitate to add one more name to the list of children who have died because of me" The arrogance melted away from her face as he said that. For once she actually feared him.

"You can't do that Loki..you're not like that…pleasse I'm sorry..I'll do whatever you want..just please don't hurt him..you're not like that I know" she begged him and he closed his eyes at the relief he felt in the moment. He looked at her intently and then smiled devilishly.

"Ohhh try me, why don't you? I am Odin's son after all"

After staring at each other for a while, You stood up and walked towards Thor so he looked at you, he wondered if you were going to slap him again.

"Have you ever been hugged?" He looked at you confused as you questioned him.

"What?"

"Stand up"

"What are you doing starling?" He chuckled so you grabbed his arm and made him stand up then you hugged him as appropriately as you could.

"You're supposed to hug me back" you mumbled to him so he wrapped his arms around you.

"Ummmm what is thisss?"

"It's called hugging..it makes you feel better"

"How many times you have hugged my brother in past few years?"

"Plenty of times"

"Is he better? Less evil? Saner now?"

"He never was evil" Thor chuckled as you said that even though he knew you weren't wrong, he has spent sleepless nights thinking about his life at the center, he wanted to change his past, he wanted to go back and protect his Little brother but it was impossible to do that now. That day when he was on top of you and you begged him to protect Loki, he saw it as a chance to redeem himself, he hoped it would make him sleep that night but nothing of that sort happened.

"What's going on here?" You heard Loki's voice so you pulled away from his brother.

"Before you punch me in the face she came onto me and not vice versa" Thor chuckled and you glared at him.

"It was just a hug…my goddddd" you walked towards Loki and got on your tiptoes to kiss him. You heard Thor whistling in a teasing manner so you stopped immediately.

"What are we going to do with her?" Loki made you sit down on the couch as he questioned Thor.

"You tell me brother..I can ..you know..push her off the cliff or something" your eyes widened as Thor said that, these people talked about murder as if it was nothing. You were going to say something but as you felt Loki's fingers running over your scalp you ate your words and relished in the feeling like a starved puppy.

"That's only going to come back and bite us in the arse, I need her to confess that she came here because of Odin"

"Leave it upto me then..here..have this" Loki looked at the glass of whisky as Thor offered him "Don't worry ..no drugs" Thor gave you that infuriating smile again so you rolled your eyes. Loki grabbed the glass and took a sip.

"Give her something to eat" he said to Thor.

"I offered..she denied "

"Do you blame her you oaf?"

"Noooo" Thor walked towards the kitchenette and took out a pre-made sandwich from the fridge to pass it to you which you took hesitantly.

"What is your new name now?" You asked Thor and Loki wondered the same, he never really asked, it's not as if they both had a proper conversation since Thor shoved himself back into his life.

"It's Theo" you chuckled as he said that

"I mean it's fine..nice name..it's just too similar to Thor" you chomped on your sandwich as you finished your sentence.

"I wanted something with Th..you think your name is nice? It sucks ..y/n.. huhhh what even is that?" He retaliated and before the back and forth could continue Loki intervened.

"Where's mother?" Loki asked him

"Told you she's safe somewhere..need one more?" He pointed towards the empty glass Loki was holding so he nodded. You didn't want to stop him if he wanted to drink with his brother, you couldn't even imagine how weird this must be for him but you knew he still cared about his brother so you wanted them to bond with each other.

"I'm going to look around" you stood up to give them a little privacy but loki grabbed your arms.

"Don't go up there to wander okay?" He told you sternly so you pressed a kiss on his cheek.

"Okay daddy" Thor's eyes widened at the name but he didn't say anything.

"Ask him first" you turned to Thor as Loki said that. He indeed acted like your father sometimes.

"Can I look around?" You asked him so he nodded, as you disappeared out of their sight Loki sat down on the couch and sighed.

"What kind of fucked up relationship do you share with her?" Thor asked him as he pulled up a chair next to him, he did refill both of their glasses again before he sat down.

"The same kind you shared with her mother" Thor's eyes teared up as he was reminded of her again.

"It's not the same is it?"

"Not really"

"Does she know about us? Me and her mother?" He asked Loki

"I don't know..she never talks about her mother, only mentions her when she's trying to make a point"

"Do you love her?" Loki chuckled as Thor questioned him

"What is love really? Monsters like us don't deserve that"

"You do. You saved a life at least "

"That won't erase my sins" he chugged on his drink in one go and picked the bottle up from the floor to fill his glass again.

"Well ..at least you got her to take your mind off" Thor chuckled so Loki glared at him.

"She's not a fucking distraction"

"Then what is she to you?"

"Necessity"

Thor smiled as Loki said that. He was happy for his brother, he deserved to have someone in his life.

"What about you?" Loki asked him so Thor sighed deeply .

"Got drunk and married this chick in Vegas once, lasted like a year, sex was amazing but she couldn't handle the secret relationship..she was kind of famous at the time" Loki looked at him confused as Thor said that.

"I got married too once..you must already know her since you sent her to spy on me"

"Mother wanted it and it was fun to do it not gonna lie"

"You're an asshole "

"Thanks, still can't wrap my mind around the fact that you found a woman to marry you in her right mind"

Loki chuckled as Thor said that. Now that he looks back he couldn't believe either that a woman like Jolene chose to marry him. Why would anyone do that? Why would you even love him? That question always bothered him.

You laid down on the bed in one of the rooms, there was a roof window on the ceiling and you could see the stars lightening up which seemed beautiful, it also terrified you because anyone could find the basement and look inside the room. You sat up as you heard the door opening, it was loki though so you took a breath of relief.

"Hey there" you mumbled softly as he closed the door, he seemed drunk.

"I'm a bit buzzed so we should wait before I drive us back" he mumbled as he took his jacket off, leaving him in that white shirt he had on this morning. He looked up at the window and his brows furrowed "That's cool"

"Come lie down with me" you tapped the side of the bed next to you so he kissed you before he lowered you down on the bed.

"Thank you" he mumbled as he sucked on your neck

"For what?"

"For trusting me enough to come with me here, I know it wasn't easy" your hands sneaked inside his shirt so you could caress his skin, your fingers ran over the long scars on his back and he moaned slightly at the feeling.

"You don't have to thank me, I'll follow you to the hell and back" he looked at you lovingly and kissed on your cheek before he laid next to you, you lifted his arm up and placed your head down on his bicep, you could feel his fingers caressing your shoulders while the other hand linked with yours. Your fingers mindlessly trailed over his forearm, the only light coming into the room was from the starry night that reflected right upon your faces because of the roof window

"What is the plan Loki? I know she should be punished for what she has done but this is not the way" you mumbled softly so he hummed in response

"I just need her to confess that's it"

"You know they'd look for her"

"I know baby..I'll take care of it I promise"

You turned your head to the side and kissed him, he tasted like whiskey and smoke, he never really smoked unless he was extremely stressed. He didn't have any bad habits, the only one he had was promiscuity, you had fixed that one too hopefully. You kissed the bruises on his knuckles and he smiled even though it was getting hard for him to keep his eyes open.

"I love you lolo"

"And I love you sweet buttons"

Yeah he was definitely drunk.

Your legs spooned around his waist, the bulge in his pants made you want to rub against him but you didn't want to take advantage of his drunken state, you knew he'd never do that to you if situations were reversed.

"Touch me darling" your breath hitched as he whispered softly.

"You're drunk baby"

"I know what I'm asking for..touch me ..please" he grabbed your hand and placed it on his hardening cock so you rubbed him up and down slowly. You opened the button of his jeans and unzipped him, his hard cock slipped out of the confinement so you stroked him in your fist, he laid down on his back as the sensation grew, your mouth latched onto his neck, the precum dripped down so you collected it with your thumb and used it to aid your movement. The ragged moans escaped his throat and you wished you could have captured this moment into a film somehow because you didn't think you'd ever get to see something so pretty ever again.

You lifted yourself up to kiss him while your hand continued to work his cock, you were practically on top of him but you didn't think he noticed that just yet. You didn't want him to notice either.

"Goddd my goddd you're beautiful you know? So beautiful" you whispered the praise in his ear and his jaw flexed.

"So are you baby..fuckk keep going little girl..i fucking love you yeah? Daddy loves you so much" You kissed him again as he finished his mindless words. You didn't think he even knew what he meant at the moment.

"I love you Loki, you're loved baby, you're so loved and you always will be..you'll always have me i promise"

As he came all over your hands he moaned your name out loud, you allowed the moment to pass by you before you got up and used the bathroom to clean him, he seemed intoxicated out of his mind so you pulled his pants up and laid down next to him to hold him as tightly as you could. You knew you both won't be going back home tonight.

In the middle of the night he shifted a little so you placed your hand on his cheek and kissed him again, he spoke immediately after that and the words made you smile.

"Happy birthday sweet buttons, I'll make this a good one i promise"
