#this idea doesn't work without a very happy ending ok

[a-dauntless-daffodil]

me: don't think about it

me: Charlie going to the demon over lords like "hey look! heaven attacked and we fought and (mostly) didn't die and a sinner got yeeted up to heaven! Will you please support my (newly rebuilt) hotel now??"

(most) demon over lords looking at charlie like: shit the second most powerful person currently in hell, who was BORN with that power, is trying to fuck up the power that WE clawed our way to the top of (she's ruining it by giving sinners hope) (meaning they won't be so eager to sell themselves off to bigger demons) (meaning bigger demons will have less power) (if she has it her way they'll be fewer sinners at ALL) (which won't work) (bc this is all still Stupid) (BUT) (if the people of hell start thinking they have a chance...) AND she wants us to stick OUR necks on the line in the fight against heaven (who don't traditionally go after her or her family anyway but love hunting US) now she's also got her dad actively backing her up, so we can't just say a flat "no" or try fighting her over it, especially not since she's shown herself to be not so lame after all.... we need a way to get all of hell doubting and mistrusting her, so they don't go to her hotel thing instead of to us... but what can we use against her? what weak spot does she h-

over lords, looking over at charlie's girlfriend vaggie, and her newly returned, never-before mentioned angel wings: ......Hmmm...

charlie: trying to explain that her gf WAS an exorcist yes ok, and sure she DID kill lots of sinners but- No charlie didn't know that when they started dating but they've worked through it and vaggie- look she fought on hell's side during the hotel battle she was right there with charlie up in heaven advocating for sinners getting a second chance-

What? Yeah she, she went back to heaven that one time. No I guess she's not banished exactly, they just tore off her wings and left her to die here after she- NO she does NOT want to go back- yes ok she COULD but she doesn't WANT to, the hotel is her home now and- look she almost died fighting for it-

it wasn't a LIE, she just, she was scared and didn't tell the truth! What do you mean "can't trust your judgment"? I know her and I knew she'd have my back and she DID, the whole POINT of the hotel, which WORKS by the way, is that people can change-

NO SHE ISN'T SPYING ON US FOR HEAVEN! she hates them! no I'm not "just" saying that because "she said so" I can TELL we've been together for THREE YEARS- YES FINE SHE WAS HIDING SOMETHING FROM ME ALL THAT TIME OKAY but look at what she's done and been DOING! Yes, thank you Caramilla- she got her wings back and used them to fight for- she- WHAT?! NO! She's the hotel manager- she's OUR hotel's manager- she can't leave, that's- wh- fire her? It's her HOME! I'm her partner not her boss!! No I'm not listening to this! This is stupid- the whole hotel wouldn't even BE a thing if I hadn't MET her and it wouldn't work without her! I-

vaggie: I'll go vaggie: charlie's being modest. she's got things covered here vaggie: I'll be hell's spy in heaven, if it'll help. IF you all support the hotel.

and the overlords smile and promise-

(of course of course they will, really, it's nothing against her just a little PR issue, a matter of building trust, so naturally she'll report only to them yes? she and charlie will make a little deal not to contact each other otherwise? they're just worried, you see, wouldn't want an angel taking advantage of the princess of hell's confidence again, so glad she understands)

-nice and sharp and already watching eagerly as charlie's newfound backbone crumples while she stares at vaggie, wordless again just like up in heaven, and doesn't react when vaggie takes her hand and gives her a pleading look-

back at the hotel, alone, vaggie is swapping out her hotel vest for the clothes she was in when they met, wrinkled and crammed at the bottom of drawer, while charlie sits on their bed refusing to watch. vaggie doesn't pack for heaven. she walks over with just her spear and holds it out- here. she'll feel better, about being away, if charlie keeps this with her. charlie doesn't take it. charlie doesn't answer. charlie's crying and she latches on tight when vaggie drops the spear to hug her. she should've been able to stop this- she can't keep the hotel running on her- she doesn't WANT to TRY doing this alone-

she won't be. vaggie reminders her, lucifer and the others are all here, charlie isn't alone anymore. she's got the hotel. she's GOT this. and vaggie will come back

but she's tired of being scared and she's not gonna risk both their dream because of it. not again.

so, vaggie goes to heaven, supposedly to help sir pentious settle into his new life up there, with the help of emily to smooth things over and the fact that adam and lute swept her under the rug instead of making her fall an official thing- and considering the circumstances, emily argues, they were in the wrong anyway, especially now a sinner HAS been redeemed

meanwhile charlie stays in hell, at the hotel, without her.

and she's short tempered with worry, impatient with the everyday problems of the hotel- vaggie up in heaven with LUTE the woman who ripped out her eye ripped off her wings tried to kill her- all because charlie couldn't convince the overlords- couldn't convince (wasn't enough to convince?) vaggie to STAY- and,

the other's notice, notice that asking how things are NOW is too raw but asking about the past is easier, lighter, get's charlie lost in memory instead of on of her worry spirals, and there's flashbacks of them getting together- there's vaggie up in heaven quiet and listless as she shadows sir pentious around keeping lute at bay and he looks over at her nervously, he brings up how much he misses cherri, and how he could use a few relationship tips for when she (surely) eventually ends up here too-

charlie and vaggie, both of them apart in the present, neither of them okay, maybe vaggie's snooping up in heaven leads her to lilith and gets her in trouble- maybe charlie makes deals she regrets down in hell trying to keep things going without her- but we see them in the past, together, and them pulling on those memories now, trying to get back to each other again

or something like that.

Hiii!🩷I have an aangsty idea if you're feeling up to it!:)))

Bucky and reader are a couple,and they are generally happy and healthy,but sometimes Bucky gets emotionally distant because he still is working on communicating his emotions.He is away on a particularly rough mission,which reminds him a lot of his time in Hydra so he neglects calling you and when he does,he is kinda cold and doesn't speak much.You know him very well,so don't take it personally,but you try to reach him and get him to open up.Bucky doesn't respond well to that.He wants to let you in,but he doesn't know how and that frustrates him.Reader is chronically ill and has to do a last minute operation,and calls to tell Bucky.However,you hear how unwell he is,and you focus on that at first,trying to get him to talk to you.This time though,he snaps,lashing his pent up frustration are you.You end up hurt by his words,and coldly hang up without telling him about the surgery.Later on you decided to send him a small text to inform him about it,so he won't get worried that you won't be responding to his calls for a few days.Bucky ignores his phone for the night but he wakes up in the morning and regrets his attitude.When he sees your text,he freaks out,feeling even more guilty.He knows you won't be able to respond,but spends the next 2 days texting you,apologizing and telling you how much he loves you.He ends up asking Steve to cover him up to leave earlier from the mission,and comes to find you.He comes to your apartment,where your best friend is keeping you company while recovering.He rushes to your bedroom and finds you sleeping.After you wake up,you end up talking about it,and get some fluffy cuddles

GIF IS NOT MINE! Gif credit goes to the creator.

You and Bucky have been dating for a year. For as long as you known him, he’s always struggled with communicating with his emotions, but he always shows how much he loves you. The ways he shows you he loves you is, telling you how much he loves you, hugs and kisses, and flowers.

Recently, Bucky has been distant emotionally. He’s currently away on a mission. He always tries to call and text you when he can, but this time around, he’s been neglecting on doing that. If he’s not busy with the mission, then his phone is probably dead. You don’t always expect him to call and text you when he’s busy, which you understand. You got excited when he finally called you.

“Hi, baby!” You say excitedly.

“Hi, doll.” Bucky says with no emotion in his voice.

“Are you ok, Bucky?” You asked softly.

“I’m fine. Why wouldn’t I be?” He asks.

“I just want to make sure you’re ok. You know you can tell me anything.” You say, trying to get him to open up.

“I’m fine. How many times do I need to say it?” He says harshly.

You took his harsh tone as him being tired from the mission so you didn’t take it personally.

“Do you want to hear about my day?” You asked.

“You’re going to tell me anyway.” Bucky says.

You told Bucky everything about your day, starting with how much you miss him being next to you when you woke up this morning to what you’re going to make for dinner tonight. As you were talking, Bucky’s mind drifted. He was thinking about rough this mission has been and how much it reminds him of HYDRA.

“Are you still there, baby?” You asked.

“Yes.” Bucky says with annoyance in his voice.

Usually when Bucky is away on missions, he tries to tell you how much he loves and misses you and he can’t wait to come home. You did most of the talking this time. The answer he gave you were “Uh huh” each time you said something.

“Doll?” Bucky speaks up for the first time in a few minutes.

“Yes, baby.” You asked.

“I’m tired. I’m going to lay down and rest.” He says.

“Oh ok. I-” Bucky hung up before you could tell him you love him.

You didn’t take it personally. You could hear the tiredness in his voice. Bucky sighs and drops his phone on the hotel bed. He lays down and rubs his hands against his face.

“Why am I like this?” Bucky says to himself out of frustration.

Bucky hates that he’s doing this to himself and you. He wanted to tell you how much he loves and misses you, but something in him isn’t letting him and it’s frustrating him. He just wants this mission to be over with so he can go home to you.

———

Bucky hasn’t made an effort to call and text you since you and him talked on the phone, which was a couple days ago. In the same couple days, you haven’t been feeling good. At first, you assumed you were coming down with a stomach bug or something like that, but something didn’t feel right. So you went to the doctor to make sure it wasn’t anything serious, in which it is. Your doctor told you that you have to get surgery, which you don’t want to do, but you have to if you want to feel better. You called Bucky as soon as you got admitted to the hospital, but he didn’t answer. So you just kept calling him until he answered. You felt relieved when he finally answered his phone so you can tell him what’s going on with you.

“I’m busy.” Bucky says harshly.

“I know. I’ll try to make it quick.” You say.

“Whatever it is, it can wait.” He says.

“No it can’t.” You say.

“Not everything is about you, Y/N!” He snaps. “What do you not understand about the word busy? Or are you too stupid to understand that? When I say I’m busy, I’m busy. You can wait to tell me whatever you need to tell me later or when I get home. Knowing you, you’ll mostly likely talk so much that you don’t know how to shut the fuck up.” He says really harshly.

Your eyes teared up. Bucky has never talked to you like that. Everything he said hurt your feelings.

“What? You don’t have anything to say now?” Bucky says sarcastically.

You hung up on him and dropped your phone on your lap and started crying softly. Bucky rolled his eyes when you hung up on him. You decided to relax now and text him about your surgery later.

Bucky🩵: I know you’re busy so I’ll keep it short. I found out I have to get surgery and I wanted to let you know how much I love you🩵

You sent the text and sighed as you shut off your phone. Bucky groans loudly when you texted him. He didn’t bother reading the text. He decided to stay off his phone for the rest of the night and went to bed.

Bucky felt instant regret when he woke up in the morning. He didn’t mean to say those harsh words to you. He’s just frustrated with himself that he can’t communicate with his emotions. He grabbed his phone and turned it on. He seen a text from you. His eyes went wide and his heart thudded against his chest when he read it.

“N-No.” Bucky says to himself.

Over the next two days, Bucky has been blowing up your phone with apologies and how much he loves you. He couldn’t focus on the mission. The only thing on his mind is if you’re ok or not.

“Steve, I have to go home. Y/N needs me.” Bucky says.

“Is she ok?” Steve asks.

“I don’t know. Y/N texted me a couple days ago and told me she got surgery. She’s not texting me back. I need to know that she’s alive and well.” Bucky says.

Go ahead and go home. I’ll cover for you. Let me know how she is.” Steve says.

Bucky grabbed his bag from the hotel and immediately made his way home. It took him about a day for him to get home, due to how far the mission was. He went straight to your apartment. He unlocked the door with the key you gave him. Your best friend was walking out of your bedroom at the same time Bucky walked inside of your apartment.

“How is she?” Bucky asks.

“She’s in pain, but she has pain medicine and is sleeping.” Your best friend tells him.

“Why did she need to get surgery?” He asks.

“She didn’t tell you what kind of surgery she was getting?” She asks.

“No.” He says.

“She got her appendix taken out.” She tells him.

Bucky’s heart dropped to the pit of his stomach. He feels even more guilty now. If he wasn’t harsh to you on the phone, he wouldn’t known sooner and would’ve came home right away.

“I got it from here.” Bucky tells her.

“Ok. Let me know if either of you need anything.” Your best friend says before leaving.

Bucky went to your bedroom to see you sleeping peacefully. He quietly shut your bedroom door and went to the living room. He sat down on the couch and started crying softly. He feels like the most horrible boyfriend in the world. He hates himself for it. He doesn’t know how long he was crying when he heard you call out for your best friend. Bucky wipes his tears away before checking on you. You were surprised to see him when he opened your bedroom door.

“Bucky?” You asked.

“Hi, doll.” Bucky says softly.

“You didn’t need to come home.” You say.

“You worried me with your text and I wanted to see if you were ok.” He says.

“You said hurtful things to me on the phone, Bucky.” You say.

“I know. If you give me a chance, I’ll apologize.” He says.

You stared at him for a second before nodding. You sat up, leaning your back against the headboard, wincing in pain from the incision on your lower abdomen. Bucky sat down on the bed next to you.



“I am so sorry, doll. I didn’t mean to say any of those things. I was just frustrated with myself that I have a hard time with communicating with my emotions and I just took my frustration out on you and I shouldn’t have done that.” He apologizes.

“You made me cry.” You say.

“I didn’t mean to. I promise I won’t take my frustrations out on you ever again. I’ll try my best to talk out my emotions.” You can hear the sincerity in his voice. “Please don’t hate me. I love you more than anything, doll. That text made me think I was going to lose you. I can’t lose you. I don’t want to experience life without you. I’ll do anything to make it up to you.” He pleads, his voice cracking and his eyes filling with tears.

You didn’t say anything. You looked at him for a moment. You know he means every word he said from the sincerity in his voice.

“You have to learn how to be open with your emotions.” You say.

“I know. I’ll try my best to work on that.” He promises.

“Don’t get mad at me again when I’m trying to help you be more open with your emotions.” You say.

“I won’t. I promise.” He promises again.

You leaned forward just enough to put your hands on his bearded cheeks. You rubbed your thumbs over his beard while looking in his teary blue eyes. Bucky closed the rest of the distance between the two of you and kissed you passionately.

“Is there anything I can do for you, doll?” He asks softly after pulling away from your lips.

“Hold me.” You say with a smile.

“I can do that.” He smiles.

You laid down and Bucky laid down next to you. You laid your head on his chest while he wrapped his arms around you, being careful not to accidentally touch the stitches on your incision. Your fingers played with his Army dog tags while you listened to the sound of his heartbeat.

“I love you so much, babydoll.” Bucky whispers softly.

“I love you more, baby.” You whispered back.

[oh-no-its-bird]

Obkk modern au where where Kakashi and Obito are online friends who have never seen eachothers faces. It's a years long friendship (and mutual silent crush) where they've helped eachother through what was truly the darkest parts of eachothers lives.

But irl they also happen to know eachother from childhood due to having gone to the same schools and shared the same classes, and they fucking DESPISE the other. You can not stick them in a room without someone starting a fight.

When they interact irl, play into specifically the early dynamics of obkk, with kind of superficially happy/dumb Obito and a "follow the rules to the letter" grumpy overachiever Kakashi

But when they're online, play more into the older obkk dynamic.

Where Obito shows that he has a pretty big mean streak/humor and a serious talent for playing dumb; where he overlays his happier side irl for just social reasons.

While Kakashi shows he's actually super lazy and imperfect with most other factors of his life outside of work/school (and ofc downplays his actual work ethic when it comes to work/school, framing himself as doing bare minimum when he should really do more (bc he genuinley believes that)) and has a pretty wicked sense of humor himself, a love of over-romantic, fluffy porn, and a habit of using endless "cute" emotocons

Kk: Did my proposal today, it was so bad... I really slacked off this time on it. I was so nervous they'd tell me no (｡﹏｡")

Kk: I guess the other presentations must have been pretty bad too because they picked mine anyways? I feel so lucky (╥﹏╥)

Ob: it's ok even if you tried your best!! Im proud you were able to do even as much as you did.

Ob: I'm glad you got it, at least one of us won their proposal today. That jackass had a fucking 30 slide detailed slide with 6 DIFFERENT PIE CHARTS and a scheduled water break inbetween. Fucking kissass

Kk: nooo im sorry ( •̯́ ^ •̯̀)

Ob: it's whatever. Just glad you got the thing :)

Ob: want me to kill your boss tho.

Kk: lol

Kk: I'll help hide the body ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

And then one day Obito does some sort of very mean prank on Kakashi. And it goes uhh. Badly.

I mean, badly for Kakashi. Obito thinks it went great!

That is till he gets home and finds his best friend for a decade, and crush for even past that decade, texting him about a very specific mean prank that got pulled on them.

Wait. No. Wait. WAIT. FUCK.

So like. Obito is a bit conflicted now. He doesn't know what to really do here??? Like. What if it ruins everything with his best friend??? But also hey best friend why the FUCK are you such a BITCH.

But also also, suddenly Obito is recontextualizing SO many of their interactions— from Kakashi suffering the devistating loss of his father when he was especially annoying, to explanations of why he reacted certain ways. And oh my god Obito is... also a kind of a bitch???

Obito has NO idea what to do and is just swinging so violently back and forth on what are really his only two options.

And sometimes he's like gleefully feeling vindictive bc after arguing with irl Kakashi, online Kakashi is ranting about "that same asshole again" at work, so Obito is like "I KNEW it was getting to u, haha you're NOT better than me after all!!!"

But then later he feels kinda bad about it bc like. Aw wait no he actually might have genuinley hurt the person he loves. And also he doesn't want to lose getting to see the real Kakashi, a mix of both of his masks, by fucking this up and choosing wrong.

Anyways Kakashi finally somehow figures it out on his own, they fight, they make up, they make out.

The end yay happy ending

There's an alternate universe where neither of them every found out about eachother and continued to be friends online and hate eachother to escalating degrees offline. But one day they start to slowly shift in dynamics. Irl they get closer and online they get so much angrier and more distant. Till we've swapped and now online they just have this GIANT fallout but offline they're actually in love now. And this continues till they're about to get married/no longer on speaking terms with eachother. And so on their wedding day they reach out again online but ONLY to hate on eachother like "oooo fuck you I'm so happy rn I just got MARRIED."

"Oh yeah you bitch??? So did I. And my husbands better than anything your ugly ass could ever pull"

"FUCK YOU MY HUSBANDS FUCKING AMAZING AND YOURS IS PROBABLY LOOKS AND ACTS LIKE SHIT"

"OH YEAH????"

"YEAH!!!"

"PROVE IT!"

And then they very sharply turn and take simultaneous photos of eachothers furious faces and then angrily, instinctivley press send.

And then they stop. And then they have a moment of dead silence.

And then they begin to have an actual, physical fist fight in front of the uncut wedding cake with ALL of their friends and families watching. And the photographers with their very ready cameras.

There was a lot of cake.

Yeah that was ah uhh. Interesting

The good news at least is now they have a photo of them fist fighting like they want to kill eachother while covered in wedding cake in a frame that says "happy marriage <3" on it, and they like to joke about it (to many, many peoples horror)

The end yay happy ending x2

If I were to write this fr I think I'd legally have to write both versions bc both are excellent

[edgeray]

Ray! 🍅 anon here, I said I wasn't going to request but there's one idea I've been really, REALLY itching at.

So you know how you reblogged "cold nights" by beiibeii? Yeah about that... I think I cooked an angst idea of this on a related tangent? (If you choose to write this, ofc)

How about Mother!Reader who is faced with the same scenario of Arle neglecting them to the point that she loses hope in their relationship? Think of the angst when the children constantly remind their Father of important dates but she's away or somehow missing most of them because of work. To the point reader just implies for them to stop trying and accepts the fact that they married Arlecchino but is now simply the Knave's wife? Like even the children can see them losing hope which is why they sometimes lowkey plead with their Father to actually pay more attention to Mother. Mother marrying Father means that Mother is strong but behind their strong facade you can see their sadness! You can feel their loneliness! And their sense of isolation and sorrowful acceptance of their new reality. And Arle does not pick up on the subtle signs until it's Too Late. Like. Reader in the coffin Late.

And as the Knave's wife Reader does need to undertake missions like in "I am Fine in Your Arms" but because reader has lost so much hope in living a wife outside of being the Knave's wife, reader does not make an effort to return alive. The angst of the burial, maybe the children blaming their Father etc. The really young ones aside, I don't think they would be actively angry with their Father, just very, VERY, disappointed. HotH would lose its warmth for a while before Lyney, Lynette and Freminet try their best to build it back (but of course, it never becomes as warm as it used to be)

Whether or not you choose to give this one a happy ending is up to you, but on my end the only happy ending that I cooked up for them is that Arle wakes up in the next Samsara with all these memories of losing Reader and prevents the relationship from going South in the first place. (Bonus points if Reader also has the memories and compares it to how they were treated by Arle previously, makes a comparison, and goes "How I wish this were my Arle" without knowing that it actually IS their Arle, just acknowledging she fucked up BIG time and is now making heavy amends for it. and Arle Knows because of that look that Reader gives her, sorrow and joy in a complex blend.)

...I think by now you can tell that I'm an angst writer too HAHSHHSHA Nobody leaves my fics without getting a knife and I promise it's just for the plot (like we always say).

I've still been keeping up with your writings (Beauty and The Beast actually fits, holy-) (Someone send Siren!Arle a whole farmhouse of ham for her consumption please) and yes I agree that you've been pumping out bangers after bangers. (I mean. Given that, you probably can afford to be a little indulgent? If writing this much quality about your muse doesn't give you the OK to put your hands all over them, abs and all, what does?)

As always, prioritise your sanity and schedule first, stay well rested and hydrated!

Lost Warmth

(Arlecchino x GN! Reader)

A/N -  Link to my momma's (@beiibeiii) piece right here. If I see you read this before reading the masterpiece I just linked, know that I am a very disappointed axolotl. 😔  Anyways, you might be able to tell just how long this has been sitting in my inbox… haha… my bad guys. T^T. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to write more angst. :3 And thank you for the additional comments 🍅 anon. I do have quite a soft spot for siren! arle, seeing that she was my first request (and requested from my momma :3). Wanted this to be a little longer, but I do have to wake up earlier tomorrow, so this is what you get T^T. Hopefully it's still good. Content warnings / info - angst, character death (duh), reader is referred to as ‘Mother’ but is otherwise GN!, 1.4k words

Cold is a feeling you've long gotten used to. Cold is your husband's dismissal of your existence, with every interaction ending with her blunt words and back towards you, leaving you with a crumbling heart. Cold are the long nights as you anxiously wait for Arlecchino's appearance for a candlelit dinner you spent half the day preparing, only for her never to return until you fell to exhaustion on the couch, a flower bouquet that remains unreceived in your hands. Cold is the creeping loneliness in the late hours of the night, when you've finally grown tired of anticipating someone that will never come, and returned to bed alone. Cold is the way you shiver underneath the thickest of blankets, no one's body warmth to sink into, no one's softly whispered words into your ear to drift you to sleep. Cold is when instead of your husband, only dim stars, a bottle of liquor, and the tears that stream your face join you in bed.

When was the last time you had felt warmth? 

You recall when the Knave first started courting you, how gentlemanly she was for such a rumored cruel Harbinger. You were first just a caretaker of the House of the Hearth, this small orphanage which you quickly found to be home for you. You couldn't help but adore the endearing children, watching as you slowly became a staple in this family. Despite your best efforts of hiding it, Arlecchino noticed when you snuck in the occasional pastry or cake from the town's most lavious bakery for the children, out of your own paycheck as well. It was then, your husband admitted, when she first fell for you. It had taken her months of encouragement from her ‘pestering’ children before she asked you out, and it was impossible to not fall for her charm.

How could you not? Not when she held you like you were her world. Not when she viewed you higher than the Tsaritsa herself. Not when her touch was heavenly, her words silky and sweet. When she proposed to you, your heart leapt with levity, and you thought your life was perfect now. A warm house, fitted with warm parents, that was what you had had, you had never felt so content. 

Then came the long nights. Nights when she trudged home later than usual, where she fell asleep without a word but sunk into your arms still. Then she started forgetting, forgetting about the dates and birthdays, and anniversaries more and more. At first, you chalked it up to her demanding Harbinger duties, but as time grew and the excuses started to run out, the perfect life you knew was crumbling. 

You became aware of this two years after your marriage when you had been preparing dinner for the two of you once she arrived home, slow cooking a steak since the early hours of the morning. Just as you exited the kitchen, you heard some children surrounding your husband before she left for another Harbinger meeting, telling her that you had a surprise for her once she came home and how excited you were for her to enjoy a new recipe you created. Your heart swelled with hope and appreciation for your children, especially when Arlecchino promised she would return in time. 

You should have known better.

You ate your tear-ridden steak alone and went to bed, leaving the steak out for her for whenever she returned home. Just like how you fell asleep, you woke up without your husband's presence, and when you arrived at the kitchen, the meat and the note besides the plate were untouched. 

You tried to eat the cold steak for lunch as well. You threw it away at the first bite. That day, you gathered your children, pleading them not to ‘pester’ Father with more reminders, as she was very busy. All that you gained back from the children was pitied expressions, and the agony in your chest worsened. Your children could pity you, but your husband couldn't? Even with your husband's coldness, you still carried out your Mother role, if only for the children. You cannot deny that the children's antics helped you forget the ever-present void inside you, caused by Arlecchino. 

You never learned the reason for Arlecchino's behavior, why she had grown so cold towards you. Now, you suppose, you would never know.  

Red fills your hazy vision as you lay on the ground, your entire body aching and fatigued, desperate gasps for air while your heart pounds in your eardrums. Your side was sliced, and the crimson liquid quickly poured out of the wound while you tried to stop the bleeding, but to no avail. 

This is your end, you think to yourself as you weakly turn on your side, every nerve in your body protesting against the movement. Your bloodied hand comes into view, your engagement and wedding ring gleaming slightly underneath the blood. The rings bring your thoughts to Arlecchino–oh, how you imagine the common disappointment in her otherwise apathetic expression, disappointment at your mission's failure. Your eyes bubbled and blurred with tears, vivid memories of your wedding flashing through your mind. The wedding ring is beautiful, still polished with that bold scarlet, the same color of her eyes, the same eyes you could never stop drowning in.

Would she even know your absence? Would she ever acknowledge you, treat you properly like her partner even if you did return? You doubt it. Did you want to return a cold bed, to a husband that does not love you, to a house no longer warm? 

It's warm. 

Your body feels like fire courses through your veins as you feel inexplicably hot, yet it's a welcomed heat. It's the first time you've felt this, but it feels familiar, comforting, like a hearth, and you want nothing more than to surrender to it. It soothes your heartbeat and calms your breath, easing your body as if you were to sink into the most plush of beds, swallowed by the thickest of blankets. The warmth coils around you, wrapping you like a cozy embrace, evoking you to sleep. Your eyes flutter shutter, a faint smile plastered on your lips.

It feels just like Peruere's arms. 

— 

Arlecchino receives a letter addressed to her on the third day you've been sent on a mission. The contents make her drop the paper, and she rushes outside, without an additional word, leaving the House. 

The children do not see her until she returns late into the night, a body wrapped in cloth in her arms. Arlecchino raised her children to be smart, to be attentive, to be logical. Whose body it is, they realize with little difficulty. 

The children weep that night. Arlecchino does not. How can she, when her source of emotions is gone? 

The burial takes place soon afterwards. As your body is placed into the ground, Arlecchino can feel the weight of her children's stare on her back. The charged tension between her and the children is palpable without words. She cannot discern which of the two reactions cut deeper. The seething fury underneath the oppressive grief for the young ones, having to lose another parent, or the crushing dismay inhabited by the older ones, specifically the twins and Freminet. 

Their thoughts are clear, even when none of them speak out loud. 

How could you fail Mother?

The House of the Hearth no longer suits the orphanage's name, not with your missing presence. There is no warmth, no matter how much the trio tries to fuel a lost flame. Even with Arlecchin's pyro vision, it is futile.

Arlecchino stands before your gravestone, a bouquet of your favorite flowers in her hand, and she rests it beside the other bouquets by your grave. Six bouquets in total, for each day after your burial. 

“For all the flowers, I should have given you, my love,” she whispers as she addresses you, glancing up to the heavens. The last two words make her feel like a fraud, undeserving of calling you hers, when she had clearly never shown so. 

Arlecchino, the Knave, the Fatui Harbinger, does not plead, does not beg, does not kneel. However, her knees drop to her dirt, and she grovels. “Please… wait for me one more time, my dear. Once I meet you again, I promise I'll never leave you alone, I'll never let you out of my arms again.”

There is no reply. 

Arlecchino feels cold.

Animal control with jaune and Blake

I don't know if what I wrote below was what you expected, but what's done is done. ------------

Animal Control

Jaune and Blake drive in their van to their first client.

Jaune: *Driving* So, what kind of job do we have today?

Blake: We have to appease a crocodile.

Jaune: Is it a "catch and release" type of job?

Blake: No, they just need us to relax her.

Jaune: Oh, I see, it's their pet.

Blake: *Quietly* I wouldn't say that.

Jaune: What's her name? The crocodile, I mean.

Blake: Tock

Jaune: Ok, first time I've heard a name like that.

Blake: Make a left here and the house will be on the right.

Jaune: Thanks

Jaune follows Blake's directions and they stop in front of the house.

Jaune: Here we are. I'll go take some tranquilizer darts.

Blake: It won't be necessary.

Jaune: Really? Is a crocodile.

Blake: Trust me, you won't need it.

Jaune: If you say so

They get out of the van, walk to the door and ring the doorbell.

Jaune: After these, do you want to stop and eat at the taqueria I told you about yesterday?

Blake: Sure, if we have time.

Jaune: Great.

Suddenly the door of the house opens. In front of them 5 very scared people appear and start talking at the same time.

Jaune: Wow! Quiet! Don't worry… As you can see, we are animal control and we are already informed of what is happening. You.. *he points to one of the people* ..where is the crocodile?

Stranger 1: T-That way.

He says as he points to a door at the end of the hallway.

Stranger 1: She's in there. Please be very careful.

Jaune: *Smiles* Don't worry, we are professionals.

He says with great confidence.

Stranger 2: If you survive, we will follow you to the depths of hell.

Jaune: (Holy cow, what kind of crocodile do they have?!) T-That's not necessary.

Blake: Jaune, lets go.

Jaune: R-Right.

The two pass between the people towards their objective. The more they do it, the more they hear the chaos happening inside the room.

Jaune: So, how do you plan to appease her?

Blake: By using you.

Jaune: *Surprise* I'm sorry!

Blake grabs the door handle and opens it without any worry.

Jaune: Wait!

When they open the door completely, they find a very upset woman.

Tock: How the hell did I lose that money?!! That bet was supposedly a sure winner!!! *She grabs a chair and throws it against the wall* AAAAH!!!!

Jaune: Blake...

Blake: Hm?

Jaune: That's not a crocodile

Blake: Wrong, she is.

Jaune: She is a person!

Blake: Correction, She is a Crocodile Faunus person.

Jaune: That doesn't matter, you told me that we would work with animals!

Blake: She is an animal.

Jaune: *Gasp!* Now that's racist.

Blake: Ok I lied! Actually this companionship business for women.

Jaune: And I'm the product?

Blake: Y-Yes... *Ashamed, she lowers her head*

Jaune: *Sighs* Look Blake, if you need money, I can help you.

Blake: *Happy* So you'll work for me?!

Jaune: Hell no! I leav-!

Tock: *Grabs his shirt* You finally arrived handsome.

Jaune: *Worry* Hey wait a minute! I was just leav-!

Tock: Enough of the talk, let's fuck!

She pushes Jaune into the room and locks the door. Blake puts her ear to the door and listens.

Jaune: Wait this is all a misunderstanding! If you let me explain-!

Suddenly the sound of clothes falling is heard.

Jaune: O-Oh God~

Tock: You like what you see, big guy~💕 This is all yours for the next hour~

Jaune: I-I don't think it's a good idea-

Tock: If you're worried about my teeth, don't be. I don't bite…hard~

Jaune: Is not that, the thing is...

Then the sound of a zipper is heard.

Jaune: H-Hey!

Tock: Holy fuck~💕 They told me you were big, but I didn't expect such a massive cock~ God, I need it inside me~💕

Jaune: H-Hang on a minute! I don't think she will fit! Hey! WAIT!

The sound of skin slapping skin echoed through the room.

Tock: MoThErfuCkEr!!💕

Jaune: *Worry* Are you ok?!

Tock: I'm fine! Just… fuck~💕… I think I just came. Shit, you sure have a nice cock~ I will definitely book you again. Now let's test your stamina~💕

Jaune: Mu stami-*Gets kissed*-MHH!!💕

Tock: Shut up now, will you, just fuck me~💕 *Kiss* *Kiss* *Kiss*

Blake: (Looks like my plan was a success)

Blake walks away from the door and starts typing on her phone.

Blake(text): I have a space open this Saturday, is that okay?

*Ting!*

White_Queen: I take it. It would be at my beach house. I'll send you the address later, along with the deposit.

Blake smiles at the text

Blake: (Oh Jaune~ You don't know how valuable you are.)

[turniparts]

Ok ok, I feel like I need to have a chat with y'all about Kris in the newer chapters. Bit of analysis/theory of mine. SPOILERS INBOUND

I've seen a fair amount of people interpreting their interactions with the knight and Carol to be inherently evil, and I have to say I really disagree. Yes, they're 100% working with Carol and the knight(who I think is Dess because I just don't think Carol would appear in such an odd, powerful form in the dark world, since all the other regular lightners look very recognizable), but I don't think it's necessarily out of free will.

First off, in the knight fight, though Kris clearly knows the knight and doesn't seem unhappy to see them, they hit harder when Susie and Ralsei go down. Though this is partially to make it possible to deal enough damage with just Kris alive, it also indicates that they do care about the two of them, enough to deal around 3x their normal damage. This, plus all of their voluntary fun interactions with Susie and even Ralsei sometimes, makes me believe they enjoy their adventures and don't necessarily want harm to come to their travel buddies.

Secondly, when we first see them get a phone call from Carol, they don't look happy about it at all. They sink further and further down, until we can only see their head on the table. This isn't something you'd expect if Kris was fully willing to do the things Carol asks of them, especially given the knowledge they care deeply about Susie and Noelle.

Thirdly, at the end of the chapter, they still don't look happy about what they're going to do, and Carol's words don't seem like something you'd say to a willing partner in crime. "You promised", isn't something you say to get someone to do something willingly, it's something you say to keep someone in line.

Their actions are definitely bad, in line with the antagonists, but I don't think Kris themselves is a bad or evil person. They hate you even more in the weird route, and clearly cared a lot about trying to help Noelle recover. They do a bunch of silly stuff with Susie, completely without the player's input. They even voluntarily hug Ralsei at the end of chapter four, when all the player selects is "it's okay not to smile". None of this indicates someone who wants the roaring to happen.

My theory is that something bad happened to Dess, and Kris either saw or was involved in some way. This is what led to them needing the art therapy from the egg room in chapter 4, as well as what was behind the tree. I think whatever this bad thing was, it caused Dess to go into a fallen down state, and Carol did something that allowed her to be preserved. I'm not entirely sure when or how, but perhaps Kris' actual soul ended up going to Dess, which is why we are now possessing them. Clearly, Carol knows about us, since she references the soul when talking on the phone.

Whatever the exact sequence of events, it ended with Dess in a weak state surviving with Kris' soul, or maybe determination extracted from it. Carol, learning about the prophecy and dark fountains, may have come to the conclusion that the only way to bring Dess back is to bring about the roaring. She's roped Kris into it, and that's why they're going along with creating the fountains and stopping Susie from getting the code.

Again, I'm not entirely sure what could've happened to Dess, or how it did happen, but it makes the most sense to me that she's in a somewhat weird state in the light world, which is why the knight appears so strange and powerful in the dark worlds. I'm not much of a theorycrafter, but I just don't think that Kris being evil makes sense, and this is my best explanation as to why they're doing what they're doing. I'm sure gaster is probably involved somehow, but, again, I'm not that deep of a theory crafter myself, so I'm not sure exactly how or why.

Feel free to counter my points or give me your own ideas, this is just my thoughts that I needed to get out of my brain lol. Really, I just wanted to make a case for Kris, because I see them being controlled both literally by us and through manipulation by Carol as far more likely than them being straight up evil. Definitely see them more as morally gray than anything else.

Part 2 of snotlout fic ideas ( some may be inspired but other fics i read )

13. A reader who's parents kind of keep them from integrating into berks society if that makes sense. The reader is allowed to work but only pretty easy and mundane tasks such as cooking, cleaning, helping with livestock, stitching clothing. But no fighting and dragons. They've pretty much been raised as non traditional viking and is only taught to work and to one day marry which that day is unknowingly coming soon. ( if the reader actually enjoys fighting and dragons or the work that they have done is up to writer and whoever the reader ends up engaged to which is either snotlout or a different character is also up to writer )

13. Now I low-key love modern au's characters from older time periods ( game of thrones/house of the dragon modern au fics are my roman empire ) so some type of modern au fic with snotlout would be great i have no specific plot for this one so pure imagination from writers is going to have to come through

14. A more specific enemies-to-lovers fic - Snotlout and the reader had hooked up a few times and people low-key knew they were "hanging out". Reader thought things were starting to get serious after having feelings for him since they were kids. Snotlout does like reader he just let his father get in his head and said something about reader without knowing they heard. It goes from there

15. A reader who's mute/selectively mute ( whatever one you want ) and snotlout likes them but is confused why they don't interact with him

16. The reader has had a crush on Snotlout for years but has kept the crush a secret because they don't believe Snotlout would ever romantically like them. The reader doesn't like fighting and has a dragon. The reader is mostly involved in crafting things for the village. Snotlout overhears the reader and their friend talking and hears them admit that they like him. Can continue from there

17. Snotlout and reader are in an arranged marriage and it's not very happy. As much as a reader tries to make the best of it Snotlout doesn't seem to accept them. On top of that reader's family blames them for the marriage being rocky. So when the reader finds out they're expecting they take off with their dragon not wanting their child to experience the pain they've gone through. Which results in snotlout rushing out to find and fix his family before it's too late ( the fic is imagined with a fem or afab reader, gn works to )

18. Reader is pretty cold towards almost everyone in berk since their parents passed. Reader pours themselves into their siblings and helping out around the island instead of even attempting to have a life. Snotlout tries to break through the wall that the reader has put up

19. Forced proximity fic ( i had to do it guys ) ok so boom... Snotlout and reader don't necessarily hate each other but their personalities clash very often since they're both very extroverted and have huge egos. The gang knows they're into each other or have a feeling they are into other so they find a way to keep them in a secluded area for while. No dragons, No friends, just snotlout and reader spending some time together. Will they kill each other ( really reader killing snotlout ) or will they kiss. Maybe even more than kiss 👀

- Part 1

[nice-and-accurate-fictions]

Strangers to lovers and meet cute

It could be a chance meeting, a blind date or business that bring them together, but we all know that once they set eyes for each other they'll end up together. But, oh, the fun of reading the path they'll take to get there! Most of the fics I read are very low in angst, and the ones in this list are no different, so just relax and enjoy!

90 Days To Change Your Life (A Wanting You Companion Fic) by SpectrallyDistracted. Rated M, 20k. P. Mar 25.

Oh, I loved this story so much! Human AU that starts with a fantastically self confident ace, cage dancer Aziraphale and a fairly cynical Crowley who goes home with a different woman every week. This is the story of Crowley's journey and is told in his POV; its companion, Wanting You… Is New (which I haven't read yet, but will soon) will tell you Aziraphale's POV. I loved every minute and every aspect of this story: Aziraphale's joy, Crowley’s self discovery, a touch of angst, and the two of them working hard on themselves because being with the other is what matters most. A special mention goes to Bea, whom I thoroughly adored!

My own A Little Lighter, After All, rated T, 3k. P. Jun 25.

Little human AU where Crowley and 5 year old Warlock move to Tadfield. As a new single parent figure, Crowley is resigned to the idea that there isn’t any space for romantic love in his life. Enter the local bookseller.

Free Wheelin, by theRavenMuse. Rated T, 783 words. P. Jun 25.

Hilarious crack fiction where Crowley takes part in the Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake and Aziraphale is a paramedic. They are adorable.

Ear Plugs And Ever After, by Siobhans_world. Rated E,13k. P. Jun 25.

Human AU where Crowley, recently divorced, and Aziraphale meet at a metal concert. Crowley taking his vulnerability seriously is very cute and Aziraphale being self confident and caring is, as always, lovely.

There's No Algorithm For The Ineffable, by Thinkinginscripts. Rated T, 12k. P. Sep 24.

Aziraphale runs a matchmaking agency for queer professionals, and he's very successful at his job. Crowley has come to accept that he might need help to find a lifelong partner; unfortunately there seems to be something quite wrong with all three candidates Aziraphale introduces him to. Zero angst, this fic is heartwarming and adorable. 

My own fiction, Deluded, rated M, 27k. P. Apr 25.

Human AU rated M for Misunderstandings and Miscommunication (yeah, ok, and mature). Crowley agrees to go on a blind date with Aziraphale, but he doesn't really do dates. He tells as much to Aziraphale and leav... lea... leeeeeeavmmm... All right, stays, OK? I started off lighthearted, added a pinch of angst, skipped the smut, clumsily attempted some humour, and landed safely on fluff. These are literally the five themes of the five chapters.

Infernal Escapes, by journeytogallifrey. Rated T, 37 k. P. Jan 22.

Human AU where Crowley works at an escape room company. Aziraphale has always wanted to try escape rooms and finally does. You will have to read it to know the rest but this was such a lovely story, very low angst and a happy ending. I believed I did squeal in excitement at the nod to the whovians in the Roman room chapter.

My own  Only Ever Meant For Someone Else, rated T, 9k. P. Dec 24.

mas morning of 2023 he was ready to go home and rest with a cup of tea, a mince pie, and a book after a long night.

Guess who?

This my very first attempt at human AU, and it was great fun to write it without being bound by anything canon. It gave me a chance to play with some feelings and characterisations that I just don’t see in canon, but I like in fiction. I tried to throw in the mix a bit of humour, a tiny bit of short lived angst and, of course a happy ending!

Postcards From Paris, by ghostrat. Rated G, 12k. P. Oct. 23.

I very seldom reread whole fictions, but I'm so glad I reread this one! (Thank you and shoutout to the Good Omens Fanfiction Club Community on Tumblr!)

Human AU. Crowley has recently moved to a new flat and he receives postcards meant for the previous owner.

Ghostrat managed to tell us the building of a lovely bond only through short messages.

I love Crowley's quiet and relatable vulnerability in this story, and I absolutely love Aziraphale’s mask of confidence shining through Crowley's POV.

The gentle jokes, teasing and feelings: all felt very well balanced, but not less emotional because of it. A classic.

The Art Of Being Seen, by cheeseplants. Rated G, 3k. P. Aug 24.

Lovely and sweet strangers to lovers human AU. Aziraphale asks Anathema for advice on how to know whether he’s in love with someone, and Anathema tells him to stare into their eyes for two minutes and he will know. Such a shame that handsome, clever, funny date just won’t take his sunglasses off. Obliviousness in action!

[heartach3d]

my boy

todd anderson hcs!

not requested

1k words

ok so basically the names you call him that correlate with him being your boy yknow?

my boy:

- this one would be a normal cutesey name that you would call him on a daily basis.

- he likes it better than all the 'baby's and 'sweetheart' even though it isn't common and that's the most he likes about it.

- it also doesn't show much pda or bring unwanted attention from strangers if you say it in front of everyone.

- just a bit of teasing from his friends of course since its obvious he likes it.

- his cheeks turn a hintish red and he'll smile and look at you like he wants to marry you right then and there. (don't give him any ideas now)

- "my boy could you please get that for me" you would say as you guys are studying during the afternoon with everyone else.

- he would straighten up and immediately get whatever you were talking about previously just to see your smile when he does end up getting the thing.

- it could be as simple as a pencil or a note and could be closer to you than it is to him and he would still do it without hesitation and without ask if he notices it.

- "man you are so whipped it's crazy!" you'd hear Charlie say yell from across the room, rather staring at the whole interaction unfold than actually do his homework.

- todd looks up defeated as everyone joins in on their experiences seeing you guys together.

- you'd try not to laugh at some of the dramatic stories but just can't help it sometimes.

- you'd whisper "thank you my boy" in his ear and watch his ears go red a flush as he nods and they get on him again about it.

my smart boy:

- I think this one is adorable and he loves it but would never say.

- only because he always has to keep up with the standards of being in his brothers footsteps so hes always trying his hardest for his parents but when you call him this he feels free from everything as you reassure him and how great he's doing especially if he just had a major milestone.

- you'd pet his hair down slowly as your sitting next to him and lift his chin slightly to ensure he sees your endearing smile then congratulate him.

- "I'm so very proud of you my smart boy and don't think I won't ever be any less proud of you if you weren't able to ace it."

- as soon as he heard you mutter these words he crumbles and just gets really smiley.

- he wouldn't even know what to say as a kid who doesn't get this a lot from anyone really he'll just sit there smiling especially if you keep on going with your rant about how proud you are of him.

- "you hear me todd hm? I love you my smart boy. grades or no grades you'll always be my boy.

- you'll ask him to respond and talk to you and he'll try to. Definite keyword try.

- when he's snapped out if this state like basically 30 minutes later is when he'll finally try to reply to all the praise.

- he'd be more fragile if he met with his parents first before you and you'd go all out to try and make him his happy self again after getting practically scolded for still not doing enough.

- he loves it all. afterwards it's all worth it in his book when you guys are laying down cuddling, in his little welton bed all smooshed up against each other

- but he wouldn't have it any other way.

my cute boy :

- this would be a cute temporary one whenever he's doing something that makes him look even cuter in your book.

- like whenever he's working on homework with you, you'd just stare at him and catch all the little habits he does that he doesn't even notice.

- like whenever he gets a hard problem his facial expressions are all bad and whenever he gets an easy one his facial expressions are the opposite.

- very expressionate with his face and or hands.

- you'll stare at him until he notices you stopped working on your work to look over at him.

- and then when your eyes meet you'll smile sweetly before getting back to work leaving him staring.

- (I tried to make them all the same length but really didn't know what to put for this since its a small one)

my pretty boy:

- PERSONAL FAVORITE AND I WON'T TAKE ANY OTHER ANSWER BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL WRONG

- he gets all flushed and tries to hide his face away more because he knows how red his face looks.

- you always call him it randomly to see his reaction and it never gets old.

- he'll be doing anything and you'll say it in a simple sentence and he'll just melt in his chair

- "do you have my books from yesterday pretty boy I can't seem to find them in my room."

- he'll flare up and you'll wonder what happened the first time you said it before smiling as you figured out what you'd now done.

- "aww" you would say walking past him kissing him on the cheek being going to look in another pile of school work.

- and if he's near other people he'll just start smiling and thinking about what you guys were gonna do later (if anything AND I don't necessarily mean it in a dirty way I just realized what it sounds like)

- every single time Charlie notices the little things like him getting all red or start smiling out of the blue after you just whispered something in his ear he's gonna get teased about it.

- but he says it's all worth it.

I HOPE SO BADLY I DIDN'T MAKE IG LIKE HE'S SO SOFT AND LIKE CRINGE SO I'M SORRY IF I DID I DON'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE IT AS CUTE A POSSIBLE SORRY AGAIN also can you tell I started getting lazy at the end FINISHED 3/11/25

Thunderbirds Rewatch 5th Week

@thunderversary-rewatch-party

Slingshot

Alan and Kayo have to pick up Ned from a asteroid, which got hit by a solar flair and is now heading towards the sun.

This episode proves that not all rescues go smoothly and anything can go wrong.

Alan does start of being overconfident but when things go wrong and even doubts himself, he thinks of good idea's and does get them out of danger.

John wakes up Alan, who is asleep on the floor. Pretty cool to see his bedroom, It's a shame we never got to see the other bedrooms.

Scott, Virgil and Gordon are in the Pyrenees (that's the mountain range between France and Spain) dealing with a tunnel collapse. That could be pretty good watch.

Alan thinks he could handle the mission on his own but is advised to have someone go with him, just in case things go wrong. So Kayo goes with him.

It's a long flight and Alan wants to play a Zombie game but Kayo wants to look at the readouts just in case things go wrong. So Alan reads the readouts too

When they get close to the asteroid, they are hit by a solar flair and TB3 is now without power and out of control and now heading towards the sun.

Alan is unsure what to after trying to reset TB3 but Kayo assures Alan everything will be ok and remember his training which gives him a confidence boost.

John is worried about them, he regrets sending them out there and needs to tell the others. Brains does try to reassure John that they will be ok and will fix the issue but John is still worried.

Alan does fix the navigation and propulsion and gets he control of TB3 again.

With no communications, Alan has to use morse code to let Ned know to let them into the asteroid. He remembers they use it, in the readouts.

Ned didn't like that he's being rescued by kids but Kayo tells him that they are risking there lives to rescue him.

Even though they will be too late leaving the asteroid, Alan has a great idea by using explosives to slingshot around the sun.

John come down from TB5 and is still worried about Alan and Kayo. Virgil reassures him that Kayo doesn't need anyone looking out for her and not underestimate Alan because he's the youngest as he's a lot smarter than any of them.

I love that Scott has an arm round him

The explosives does work and they are now going round the sun but now they haven't got enough fuel to get home.

Poor Alan he thinks it's all his fault and probably going to die and doesn't like being so far away from his brothers. Kayo tells him that now of this his fault as things do go wrong.

They fix the communications, Alan is so happy, I love his little flip.

Everyone is relieved that they are ok.

They use the last explosive to give them a kick in the right direction.

Alan and Kayo are back home and Alan tells everyone what happened.

Alan goes to bed and Scott asks Kayo how was it really and Kayo tells him it was scary but Alan did save them.

Poor Alan, just as falls asleep, he has to go on another rescue, hopefully it's just a simple rescue and maybe one of his brothers could go with him.

Tunnels of Time

Pen & Ink episode.

Virgil and Gordon help rescue some trap miners and a temple is uncovered.

I assume Gordon likes history as he takes an interest in the temple

A few months later, Lady Penelope and Parker visit the site as she is member of the World Heritage society.

Professor Harold who is voiced by Matt Zimmerman (Original Alan Tracy's voice actor).

Gordon unexpectedly arrives and is not carrying light. Parker confessed to calling International Rescue to help Lady Penelope (who wasn't very impressed)

Parker hoped that it would of been another Tracy helping and not Gordon.

They go into the temple but ended up getting trapped, Professor Harold does manage to escape.

The temple is full of traps and toxic gas starts to rise. Luckily Parker accidently finds an opening.

Sadly it turns out Professor Harold is asshole and doesn't even tell John that the others are trapped in the pyramid.

Gordon saves Lady Penelope from the spears but she complains to him that he nearly broke her nose and the spears were no where near her.

Then Lady Penelope saves Gordon from some big stone block

Scott and Virgil arrive and Scott is pissed off with the professor for not calling it in and Scott calls him a rat faced weasel and nearly punches him. Virgil has to hold him back.

Scott and Virgil find them using a cable camera

But it ends up braking and they lose them again.

They end up in the final chamber and it starts to collapse.

I love that Gordon holds her hand.

Was he about to kiss her??????

They are rescued at the last second.

When they are rescued Gordon does admit thinking they were done for. So I do think he was going to kiss her.

Lady Penelope tells the Professor that he's going on gardening leave.

Parker has lost his keys in the temple.

Sun Probe

Three guys in a rocket send a probe to the sun but they get too close and the rocket fails and they go on collision course to the sun

Alan, Scott and Tin Tin go in TB3 to shoot some beam at them. Virgil and Brains also go in TB2 as a backup beam.

They are watching TV coverage of the sun probe

Brains is working on Braman

Alan and Tin Tin getting a bit close there. Oh and Virgil has turned up, Where is Gordon?

Oh there he is. But sadly no John in this episode.

This feels like the slowest rescue mission, there still discussing, how to rescue the people on the sun probe

Alan and Tin Tin sitting close together again.

Tin Tin already changed for the mission, Scott and Alan have to change while they are in TB3.

Apparently it's going to take them 65 hours!!!! The sun probe guys look already too close to the sun.

As usual Gordon is left behind.

Nice hats, I would of liked to have seen TAG Virgil wear one.

As TB3 gets close to the other rocket, they start to sweat. they manage to fire the beam at the other rocket and is saved. But now the retro rockets have failed and now heading towards the sun. Turns out Tin Tin falls unconscious leaving the beam on, Alan tries to get to her but he falls unconscious too. (Scott is already unconscious).

Brains uses Braman (they accidently brimg the wrong box) to do some calculations and they manage to fire a beam at TB3 to stop there beam and the retro rockets work again and now out of danger.

Phew, this was a long one today, I even had to cut some pics out because I exceeded the 30 pics limit.

‼️NIGHTBRINGER LESSON 34 SPOILERS‼️

masterlist | all lessons | season 2 | lesson 33 | lesson 35

i might be getting ahead of myself here, but are we lilith ?? like is that what's happening rn ??? he's not saying mc's name, and raphael doesn't day their name in the next scene...if so then that's actually really fucking sad 💀

it makes sense though, belphie not wanting mc to go into his head bc he's still clinging to the past and doesn't want to lose them forever like he lost his little sister forever, especially since human life is so finite compared to that of a demon or an angel or a reaper

also it's obvious by his choice of words that despite him looking older, belphie is very, very young in his mindscape, just like mammon was. i feel like this also shows how close mams and belphie are even if it's not shown much on screen in the game, or at least how much belphie takes after mammon's, if not all of his older brothers traits, for better or worse

well nvm...i still think my theory is valid though. belphie wants to go back to his old life and end up not losing lilith, but still have mc with him

i wonder how similar mammon and belphie's bond in the celestial realm is to their bond in the devildom. is belphie still as reluctant to ask for help and advice openly? is the banter still the same? are there less insults? how does the age gap here cause them to treat each other differently if at all? or the lack of angelic status?

oh i'm gonna cry

big brother mammon will always have my heart and i need more of him

we know belphie's love of stars and constellations and the night sky in general started when he was in the celestial realm, and seeing it manifest in mammon in his mindscape makes my heart happy, even if mammon isn't the reason he became interested in astronomy (was it michael? lucifer? idk i don't remember)

i also think it's very interesting how belphie's brain is actively working against him "wanting to hide from mc". he literally said "i don't want you to see the inside of my mind" and is hiding away from them. i think, in reality and in his mindscape, he's running from the fact that he has to face his feelings about the idea of mc leaving to go to the "human realm" and the possibility of losing them forever like he lost lilith

this was (obviously) not beel speaking, but his inner thoughts in the shape and voice of beel. circling back to belphie having the best and worst traits of his brothers, his insecurity and need for reassurance rivals levi's, and we don't get to see it as blatantly because he masks it way better than levi does

ok so we're here in the timeline...interesting. how much time passed between luci and dia's first meeting and the celestial war? how much time had passed between the celestial war and mc's initial arrival to the devildom? how much had belphie aged?

angels and demons age different than humans do, and belphie doesn't feel any older than like...10 or 11 at the most, but beel seems older than that. maybe its his mind warping things to make himself seem and feel younger, but maybe he really was that young. was lilith even born at this point? how old was belphie during the time of the war ?????

also i'm mad we didn't get to see michael bc i wanna know what he looks like but oh well 🧍🏾

oh baby :((((

i'm not the biggest belphie fan AT ALL, at least canon belphie, but i think it's necessary to acknowledge how his trauma severely affects the way he acts. he went from blaming himself, to blaming an entire race of people for his sister's death. he feels like he should've been the one to die, even if it meant leaving his twin without him

now, if he got a proper redemption arc after lesson 16, THEN we could talk. i think the devs fumbled his character in that regard, but my hcs about his redemption will have to suffice for now

he didn't want mc to see this dark part of himself because he hates that he still has this mindset, that he's trapped in a cycle of "what ifs" and wishing it were him instead of her, constantly ruminating and letting his anger and grief fester without ever dealing with it properly and letting himself heal. he not only thinks he doesn't deserve to heal, but that he doesn't deserve to live long enough to see himself heal, that he doesnt deserve to live at all

WHY ARE YOU BEING DIFFICULT????

i mean i knew this would happen since its only lesson 34 and there's still 6 more to go...but damn

i love and hate the fact that he's so smart. like, they could easily just ask barbatos to send them back to the human realm if it was that serious. he's clearly taken a liking to them. lucifer knows something's up, and he won't forge a pact with them until he gets to the bottom of whatever's going on

initially, i thought it was a spell to bring them back since he'd been the one facilitating the trips into the brothers' mindscapes this whole time, but this is wayyy more interesting

i feel like the barbatoses communicate across timelines, or that their lives intermingle with each others' somehow, so whatever they feel for one person in a specific timeline is felt for ever version of them in every timeline. we know barbatos, at the very least, knows that kayden is an important person in the grand scheme of things, whether it be because of the way diavolo feels about them or because they play a large part in the obey me version of a canon event

if it's more than base level importance, we can assume that there's a level of trust and love that barbatos feels for mc that stretches across time (callback to the login screen's dialogue)

maybe he gave us the piece of the grimoire for a reason outside of belphie's mindscape escapades. what if this is how we gain lucifer's trust? if a demon as powerful as barbatos can give mc a piece of his grimoire, then he should be able to make a pact with them, seeing as they're trustworthy enough to be in cahoots with THE time demon

anyways barbatos is nightbringer and you can't tell me otherwise. unless you think it's michael. then i might hear you out...i'm stuck between thinking either of them is the titular character simply because of the simultaneous lack and abundabce of emphasis on michael's importance

The King's Men by Nora Sakavic reread

Did Aaron and Nicky really see Andrew without drugs? I mean Aaron must have but, oh oops I'm messing up the time drugs was post mom death not post juvie nvm

I know we aren't supposed to like the "therapeutic reenactments" but like am I reading it wrong or was Andrew raped again (and again and agin) in Easthaven...

"You were supposed to be a side effect of the drugs." (Page 24)

Andrew was basically like "take you shirt off" when striking a deal with Neil (Page 58)

Snort. I hope Roland says concerned about very obvious handcuff marks "from a fight" and a guy who seems really clueless about what handcuff could be used for (Page 64)

🤣 the fact that the "doesn't mean it wouldn't blow you" line was said right in front of Kevin (just in German so he would understand) (Page 65)

The fact that Aaron and Andrew "can't stand the sight of eachother " but they are identical twins says a lot about how they feel about themselves....

I know Andrew doesn't interfere with Kevin and Neil fighting because he has a crush on Neil but it's also a little funny yo assume that his pets can fight eachother butoneone can fight them (NOT like siblings, but also like siblings: I can make fun of my brother but a random does it and it's fight time)

I never quite got why Neil thought the happy birthday message was from Riko, even my first read I figured it was his dad/ his ppl

Look I love angst so Neil grieving his own death (not a identity but truly himself) is 😘

Can we talk about Andrew for a moment: he told Neil (basically) I have a crush on you and Neil went....OH ok... and then did nothing different with that info. I can imagine that is reinforcing Andrew's low self esteem? (Idk) but also like kinda nice, like whether or not they will say the word friends they are and Andrew's crush didn't change that

"I won't be like them. I won't let you let me be." (Page 178) them. Not him. --(Page 369) oh. I forgot about that --- (Page 381)

Ah Neil. I do enjoy your work around there from am nothing" to "you've always said, you want mothing." (Page 224) very good

"You're a different kind of suicidal-... -You're the martyr no one asked for or wanted." (Page 233)

I remember being confused and concerned my first read when Neil was kidnapped only 1/2 way through the boom (my kindle says 58%) - I mean I'm glad cuz then you actually get to see the fallout but I remember worrying how long was Neil going to be there? (I also remember being like oh fuck. He's really gonna die isn't he)

....I don't have any specific reading disabilities but any character with the same starting letter I sometimes confuse. Aaron and Andrew get mixed up sometimes but at least the shape of their names is different enough that it doesn't happen often. Nathan and Nathaniel tho.... ya I'm reading every sentence twice to make sure I'm reading the right name....

I do enjoy when we don't wait for the villain speech and just interpret them with violence (Page 266)

I imagine Nathaniel's manic laughing at the end looked and sounded a lot like medicated Andrew... (Page 268)

Idk why but the scene around Andrew prepping Neil for the shower always confuses me. Not in a "oooh what" but just in a "having a problem following the plot" way... (Page 307)

Andrew "I'm not taking in any more refugees." (Page 341) LOL actually doesn't he? (I haven't actually read most of the extra content but he takes in Robin, right?) Also could u imagine Andrew taking in all of Riko's "perfect court" It would be madness (Also kinda funny cuz Neil would flip between "mom" and "sibling" to Jean and Kevin depending on the situation)

I like the idea that post Nathaniel Neil is more like Andrew than anyone expected. Like, he's got more of a dead neutral face and doesn't pull punches when talking (or hide the violent thoughts he has)

"Die free or die a failure." (Page 343)

I don't remember where I read it (maybe it was one of the extra bits or something?) But it said that Andrew hates women and I just don't think that's right. I think he generally hates everyone and doesn't trust anyone easily but I don't think that's gendered in anyway (his history would more likely say he hates men, I think, but I don't think he thinks of it that way)

So ages are: Jean (who is a current junior), Kevin and Riko ( who are sophomores? Maybe they are also juniors?) Then Neil (who is a freshman)

"And my father comes to all of my games." (Page 410)

So. I don't read mafia books so Riko's death absolutely shocked me my first read (Also Neil's reaction to it) (Page 428)

On to The Sunshine Court. I actually haven't read this one before, some because I needed a break for the mafia vibes, some because I didn't realize that it was Jean's story and not Neil's (which is fine but when ur not expecting it...), and some because I read the first chapter and found Jean very annoying..... but based on some fanart I've seen maybe he will be less annoying and be more sad hurt boi (look internal angst is my jam)

[oh-no-its-bird]

Ok so everyone say thank you to @kirabasai for infecting me with the thought of Commander Fox getting zapped from starwars to naruto

Mitsuki and Fox clone solidarity,, I know Mitsuki only exists in Boruto but I don't give a shit so now not only is this a dimension travel au it's also a time travel

Somehow both Fox and Mitsuki end up in normal naruto canon, and work together bc uhhhh. Reasons, I dunno.

Fox gets zapped first to boruto, probably through spooky Palpatine sith shenanigans that don't actually matter. But he's only there for a second, with just enough time to knock into Mitsuki before he's zapped again into naruto— accidentally bringing Mitsuki with him.

Oops.

He actually feels kind of bad ab it. Or like, as bad about it as Fox can feel, bc he's Fox. But then he learns Mitsuki is a clone and it isn't just awww shit he accidentally kidnapped some kid but aww shit he accidentally kidnapped a Shiny

Head in his hands, he didn't ask for this,, he was a good boy,, he did his job so diligently,, he hid all the bodies and killed all the people Palpatine told him to,,, literally never done a thing wrong,,,,

Fox winds up with Palpatines lightsaber somehow, and over the course of the story it kind of becomes his. It freaks the absoloute FUCK out of literally any sensors, it is radiating legit evil over there and Fox is holding it like it's no big deal (bc he can't sense shit and is kind of numb to sith energy anyways)

Fox also has a blaster and I am definitely thinking ab the comedy of like. A gun in Naruto. It's a gun. It's a gun that moves fast as light. No one knows what a gun is and Fox is going to get SO much milage out of just having a weapon he can aim places without people realizing what it's ab to do (shoot you in the fucking face)

If someone were to pry into Fox's mind they'd actually have a really awful time of it, then probably walk face first into some nasty lingering sith mind fuckery stuff. Bad experience, 0/10, Fox is very happy w how it turned out but also has no idea why he got that effect. Either way, keep ur nasty ass mind fingers to yourself

Also, Fox speaks Basic. Not Japanese.

I'm thinking he has some sort of standard translator chip that allows him to communicate, but it sometimes translates the stuff he says weirdly. For example, from everyone else's perspective, he keeps introducing himself as Kitsune.

Which, for obvious reasons, doesn't really go over that well with a lot of people in Konoha when he gets there.

He's also visibly foreign and keeps being mistaken for being from Suna

So anyways, Fox and Mitsuki first fight bc like. Hey!! You fucking kidnapped?? Me???

Mitsuki gets the jump on him bc shinobi kid vs guy who doesn't know what a fucking shinobi even is

But then they're able to kinda talk it out and like, look neither of them know where they are so... truce?

Ok so now the fun part:

Fox has no fucking clue what's going on.

From his point of view, he's on... some kind of semi primitive planet. Doesn't remember how or why, but he's here now. So standard GAR procedures; find a way to contact home base. He has his normal gear on him, but no deep space radio, so he'll have to just... make one. Fuck, ok. If he can find the parts, it's doable. All command class clones are taught the basics of how, just like how they're taught how to assemble a blaster from scraps.

But from Mitsuki's point of view, they time traveled.

Mitsuki's POV is the only reason Fox knows there's smthn seriously up, but he's not exactly gonna go "aha! Dimension travel!" On top of it all

Now here's the thing. They're in early naruto canon, some time after wave arc.

Mitsuki only knows chunks of history, and only what has been taught to him second hand from school, Orochimaru, and very very occasional stories from Sasuke or the rest of team Taka

(I feel like Suigetsu especially would have fun telling all sorts of stories)

Not... all of these stories are completely accurate. And even if they are, they're often dumbed down to be easily understood by children— think that one Boruto episode where they put on some sort of silly play about the sanin (which was adorable btw and also fucking hilarious. Actual war criminals son learns about war crimes in class and everyone is just cool happy magic of friendship about it. Amazing.)

So now Fox is learning these fuckin third hand stories from Mitsuki, who literally learned it from the villains of many of the stories, and there is some SERIOUS biases going on

They go to Orochimaru for help.

Local scientist, parent of child (= dependable?) Best source of tech for potential radio + blaster repairs if needed. Fox can trade information to him if needed, it seems like a good choice.

It is not a good choice.

Orochimaru is like nearing the heights of his insanity, and I think it'd be real fun if he decides Sasuke is cool and all but a man from the stars??? A man literally made in a vat to be the perfect example of human physique???? Who's also resistant to many forms of corrosive chakra????

New perfect body alert.

Mitsuki is cute but Orochimaru isn't really in a parental sort of mind set, sorry <3

Mitsuki is going "Huh!! My parent did say they had a pretty severe midlife crisis..."

"Kid I think this is a bit more than just a midlife crisis."

Anyways, then they escape and continue to fuck around trying to build a deep space radio, which at this point is Fox's only hope home which also means it's Mitsuki's bc maybe the jedi can help with the whole uhh... time? Thing?

I'm thinking that after the thing w Orochimaru goes to shit, they're both a lot more wary of the fact that Mitsuki's information may not be the best.

After Oro in terms of figures of power and safety, almost everyone else is either a child, not born yet, or their current location is unknown— except for good old dependable ✨️ rokudaime Kakashi ✨️

Ok so picture this. You're Kakashi, sleeping peacefully in bed after a long day fucking with your students (who you're still very conflicted about having) You wake up to a presence in ur room and there's some fucking snake kid leaning over ur bed going "Hatake-sama—"

You freak out.

Knives may be thrown.

The snake kid has a very angry looking, foreign adult man body guard.

This is so fucking suspicious.

The snake kid says he's a time traveler, and that you are the eventual Rokudaime and also the only person he knows he can trust 100%

This is so fucking suspicious.

So obviously, Kakashi plays along then turns around and reports the fuck out of their asses to the Hokage.

Yeah, Fox doesn't really know what he expected. If some random kid showed up looming over HIS bed in the middle of the night, said he'd be the next chancellor and they know bc they're a time traveler and also pretty please help me build a deep space radio so I can go home— well, he wouldn't report them to Palpatine because not even he's that sadistic. But he'd probably toss them into the cells for a minute, if only because it was one of the only perks of his job

Or, well, for that analogy to work it wouldn't be a deep space radio, because he was used to space travel. It'd have to be something wilder— like an interdimensional radio. Haha, good one. Like that existed. God, imaging having to try and make one of those, that'd be insane. Fox would just kill himself at that point. Good thing he doesn't have to, right? Right?

Anyways mid adventure, they bump into Jiraiya who is fucking horrified to recognize Orochimaru's way of smiling in Mitsuki and gaslights himself into thinking he HAS to be wrong.

I think its Jiraiya who finally helps them out

Drunk together. | LN4

★ Let's get drunk together so I can kiss you and blame it on the vodka.

FANFIC + SMAU « Eng & Esp »

Lando Norris x Male!Oc Former Rider

« K » I got tired of English halfway through the story. (Although it was counterproductive) (I ended up writing twice as much) (well, I like to find some dialogues in Spanish in Eng fanfics. Sometimes, I get tired of thinking in English).

Warning: suggestive jokes. Zak Brown mentioned.

★ Chapters: One. | Two. | Three. | Four. | Five. | Six. | Seven. | Eight. ★

Sacha: Let's see if you answer me, because Lando doesn't even say good morning.

↳ Are you together? Are you okay? Alive, at least?

↳ Do you work? You don't work? When does Lando plan to fly to the USA?

Ezequiel: Hello good morning dear Sachita

Sacha: GOOD MORNING ???

↳ IT MUST BE LIKE 3PM THERE

Ezequiel: four*

↳ Come on, have you never been in love?

↳ Has it never happened to you that time flies by with that person you love?

Sacha: It seems that they loved each other a lot last night

Ezequiel: I didn't want to say it like that, u nasty, but ok.

↳ Let's see. We're together, yes. We're fine and quite alive. Yes, I work. Tonight, I leave for Australia & Lan for the US tomorrow morning

↳ Two whole weeks apart😿

Sacha: God, why did I make you a couple?

↳ I have three weeks off anyway. I'm bored.

↳ I'm going to see you in Australia and Landito in Mexico. Let him know.

Ezequiel: He says he can't wait. He's consumed by emotion, as you can see.

↳ He also says that you should stop texting me because you are stealing his time before I leave.

Sacha: You two are so annoying.

Ezequiel: ⁉️

↳ Yes, both of you

↳ Bye. I'll never accompany you in any crisis again.

Ezequiel: You don't even believe it. You love first-hand gossip

          He locked his phone with a smile, as Norris wasted no time in demanding his full attention. He couldn't refuse, so he dropped onto the couch, pulling the Brit with him so that he lay on top of him.

          —Te voy a extrañar. —He told him in Spanish. For a few weeks now, Lando has been insisting on practicing the language. There was little to really practice. He had to teach him everything. (I'm going to miss you)

          —Me too. —The older man laughed, taking off his cap to let a hand get tangled in his brown curls, while the other gave soft caresses to his back. Norris relaxed into the touch, letting his head rest on Torres' chest. —Another day, can we talk about... coming out? —he asked, playing with the edge of the sleeve of Ezequiel's shirt.

          —You want to come out? —he asked, surprised. Even without seeing him, Lando nodded. —Well, yeah! We can talk about that later, whenever you want. —He accepted, excited by the idea. Also very nervous.

          Lando had made it clear to him all those months that nothing would change his mind. He would choose Ezequiel over anything. Even if it cost him his place at McLaren or his seat in Formula 1. If he and Ezequiel weren't happy, then he wasn't interested.

          "Zak Brown can pay my salary, and that's fine, but -thank God- I don't have him in my bed every night." The mere image of Norris's boss disgusted Torres so much that he preferred not to press the issue further.

          Yes, Lando would sacrifice everything for them. Lando felt the same way he did.

          Ezequiel still couldn't believe how lucky he is.

Can you do Zolu x reader I want a baby headcannon

I deiced to do half headcannon half story :)

Zoro X Luffy X reader, Poly relationship, Established relationship, Reader is Female.

Warning: Bad language.

^ You have no idea why but you've been thinking about it a lot lately, wanting a baby was the only thing on your mind for days and days turned into weeks. You tried hiding it but when ever you stopped off on an island you notice more and more kids interact with their parents, at times it felt like they were mocking you and soon it got too much.

^ Sitting on the top deck at the front of the sunny Staring out to sea with Zoro asleep next to you and Luffy on the Lions head blurted it out without thinking. "I want a baby". You shocked both of them, Zoro waking up immediately like he had a nightmare and Luffy's head turned so fast you thought it would fly off.

^ You regretted saying it as the two started asking question after question, Why?, are you serious?, is this a joke? Do you know what your asking? But all you could do was shrug looking at their shocked faces.

^ You are gonna give Zoro a heart attack 100%, You all live a very dangerous life and even though things are going well at the moment adding a baby into the mix is a bad idea in his opinion.

^ Luffy is half-and-half on the idea, he wants to give you what you want but at the same time he doesn't know anything about taking care of a baby.

^ You couldn't give much in the way of answers and ended up telling then to leave it and that you were just thinking out loud. You told them it was just a silly idea and to ignore you.

^ Luffy wasn't happy with how things went down, he apologized and gave you lots of affection throughout the day. Even though you laughed and smiles at him the Captain could still see sadness in you and it hurt, it made him re think everything and how you've been acting the past few days.

^ When Luffy doesn't know or understand something it frustrates him and since he couldn't get anything off you he went to Robin and Nami instead. He made it sound like he was talking about a friend but of course the girls knew he was talking about you so they explained everything they could. Nami was more of the emotional side and Robin was more Logic but it worked and Luffy started to understand more.

^ Zoro didn't push you to talk about it, but he kept an eye on you all day, he knew you were upset, but he just couldn't justify having a baby right now. Yes he wanted to comfort you and tell you it'll be ok, but he also didn't want to give in, he worries about you and his Captain enough, he didn't want to add a defenseless baby onto the list.

^ Sanji noticed something was wrong right off the bat when Zoro didn't get into a fight with the cook all day so deiced to ask him about it. Of course Zoro ignored the cook and all his questions but as Sanji was going to leave he sighed and blurted out everything. Your poor Swordsman was dragged into the kitchen and yelled at for almost an hour but Zoro did learn a few things which surprised him.

^ You thinked about one question all day, why do you want a baby? It seemed like a simple question to answer but you just couldn't find one. You some times talk to Robin when your confused about something but you couldn't find her anywhere. The only other person you could think of was Jinbe.

^ You were very unsure about asking him so you ended up being very vage not mentioning a baby in any way, it was along the lines of "I want something but i don't know why i want it... i just have this overwhelming need to have it" Jinbe helped as best he could, but he did ask about what "it" was.

^ Still not having the answer you caved in telling the fish man that you wanted a baby and to your surprise the man wasn't shocked in fact he smiled and let out a booming laugh and told you that it might have something to do with what happened on Wano. It hit you very hard but you had your answer.

^ Zoro and Luffy had a talk after dinner about you and the baby thing sharing what each other new and found out, Luffy learned more about hormones and how some times girls get this overwhelming need to have a baby because of them while Zoro learned that maybe you weren't feeling loved enough and that they needed to do more for you.

-----------------

The sun had long set but you couldn't sleep, the shared room you have with your two boys was too quiet as you sat on the bed cross-legged facing the door. You needed to tell them why you wanted a baby, even if they still said no at least you got it off your chest and maybe you could forget about it. When Zoro and Luffy walked in they were surprised to see you awake, your normally asleep by now and you have a sad look on your face. Luffy runs up and jumps onto you wrapping his arms around you as you fell back onto the bed "Y/n Please don't be sad" The Captain held you tight placing his face in your neck while your arms went around him, Zoro sighs getting you to look over at him as he closes the door and makes his way over to the bed. Laying down next to you the swordsman runs a hand through your hair noticing you look more nervous than upset "I urm... I've been thinking and i think i know why now" You manage to get out looking at Zoro who's face is right next to yours "We think we know two, it's your hormones right?" Luffy smiles sitting up and straddling your lap as your hands go to his hips, letting out a sigh you shake your head making your captain very confused.

Zoro sits up slightly using his elbow to support himself "Have we not been giving you enough attention? I'm sorry if we haven't" The sad look on his face makes your heart tier, reaching up you place a hand on the swordsman's cheek while the other holds into Luffy's hand "No, no its not that, you two are great. Your there when ever i need you and your always so sweet... its nothing like that, i-" You sigh again looking form Zoro to Luffy seeing them both confused and concerned. What else could there be? "You don't have to say yes, i think i just need to get this off my chest" Zoro holds your hand to his cheek as you talk while Luffy leans down and places a kiss on your cheek "You can tell us anything" The captain smiles taking his hat off and placing it on your head, it makes you feel a lot better and you even manage to smile a little and squeeze his hand.

Taking a breath you compose yourself before talking "After Wano i started thinking about having a baby and its only gotten stronger and i think it's because... You two almost died, i thought i lost both of you during the battle and i couldn't handle it" You tear up a little and pull Luffy's hat over your eyes unable to look at the two as you continue "All i could think of was that i wouldn't have anything. Two head stones and some trinkets? I wanted you two not that, i needed you with me, one way or another, not a hat or a sword or a shirt but... something that was you" Tears fall down your cheeks as you ramble the image of the two bandaged up laying almost lifeless filled your mind, you couldn't bare the thought of being without them. "Baby, where alive" Zoro leans closer wiping some tears off your cheeks, you never talked about what happened on Wano and maybe they should have brought it up if this is how you were feeling. Luffy sits on your lap in shock, he remembered you being so happy when him and Zoro woke up and you never seemed sad about it but now he could see you were hurting.

Leaning down Luffy takes your hand off his hat and tilts it up seeing your eyes shift to look away from the two men "I'm sorry, i didn't know it hurt you but i won't leave you again" Luffy leans down and places a kiss on your other cheek "But, what if it happens again, we come up against stronger and stronger people and your always getting hurt.... i know your both strong but i can't, i just can't" You left a hand up wipe away some tears finally looking up at Luffy and then to Zoro "You did die and yes you came back, but what if next time you don't" Zoro leans in and places a light kiss on your lips placing his forehead against yours "I'm sorry baby, i should have seen you were hurting but like Luffy said i'm not gonna leave you again" Luffy places a hand on Zoro's back the two boys looking at each other with a nod seeming to silently agree on something. Your eyes flick between the two managing to stop crying and wiping away the last of your tears as Luffy take the hat off your head and puts it on his with a smile.

Zoro leans over and places light kisses along your shoulder and up to your neck, your unsure of what is going on but you don't stop him, his light kisses make you feel better and loved. Luffy leans down and pulls your chin, turning your head to look at him before placing his lips on yours. Humming in relaxation you run your hands up the captains chest and to his cheeks as he shoves his tongue into your mouth, Luffy runs a hand up and down your side while the other goes into Zoro's hair who moans slightly while kissing around your neck. Luffy pulls away hovering over you with a kind smile moving his hand from your side to your cheek running his thumb under your eye "Do you still want a baby?" The words that leave his mouth shocks you making your eyes widen, Zoro chuckles into your neck feeling you tense as he pulls away to look at you with a small smile. "Yes" The words leave your lips before you brain can process but you don't regret it. The swordsman places his lips on yours biting your lip so you'll open your mouth for him which you gladly do, letting his tongue in, moaning into Zoro's mouth you jump a little when you feel Luffy lift up your shirt a little and start kissing your stomach.

how does naoya act during foreplay 🥺🥺🥺

Heya anon!

Ok so first, this is the first time I thought of foreplay, gee, that makes me sound terrible doesn't it? Lol.

Also, I get this idea you wanted something sweet... but I have to apologize because I ended up going the complete opposite route, in other words, Naoya is 200% nasty. (I have more to say at the end) I hope it's still to your liking though!!

As always, here are the warnings: minors dni. SMUTTTTT also, someone is obsessed with your boobs. slight mentions of pregnancy. also, you're called a whore too.

Without further ado, happy reading!!

Naoya’s version of foreplay doesn’t necessarily limit itself to the bedroom, or to “immediately before the act kind of thing”.

It’s a day long affair that starts the moment he opens his eyes and simply knows he wants to, you know, rearrange your guts.

Your husband is essentially obsessed with every inch of your body, but he likes to begin his morning by kneading your boobs—there’s a relaxing notion to be found in the soft and warm sensation of your skin underneath his fingertips, which eventually guides him to the pinching and teasing of your nipples that in turn, make you whine, soon attempting to push him away.

And it’s not because you didn’t like it, truth to be told, you also found relief in his touch, even with his cruel and mischievous nature—specially that which involved certain… areas, often seeking his hands and placing them over your chest just so he could fondle you to both your and his pleasure.

But rather, his schedule didn’t permit him to follow through—he has a meeting with the hei, followed by another one involving the elders and the future of the clan—and if you were to remember your duties as his wife, the future Lady of the house, you had to keep him on track.

Thus, much to your chagrin, you play the role.

“Naoya… you have to get ready for your meeting…” you whine, even as determined as you were to help him, you were still distraught by this unwanted predicament.

“I know, my love. I just want to check everything is fine with your mochi’s before I go.”

“Naoya!” You gasp, face burning out of embarrassment; because of all things he could’ve said, he just had to go with the most embarrassing one!

“Are they getting heavier?” he murmurs, attempting to weigh them.

“…No.” you say with a pout, knowing well what he was referring to. “Not yet.”

You can only imagine how consumed he’ll become once you’re finally pregnant.

But until then, Naoya would leave you hanging, needy as he eventually peels himself from your body, dressing up in his everyday attire, kissing you goodbye, before dejectedly heading out the door to start his boring day, with you doing so soon after.

If there’s one thing Naoya knows how to do, however, is convert a boring day into a thrilling one, and there’s no convincing him otherwise once setting his mind into it.

As if it wasn’t obvious enough, Naoya cannot be a single moment away from you, not even for one second, or he feels like he’s going to lose his mind.

So, when he finally comes around for a break, get small treat before jumping back to his duties, you find yourself very permissive—even when you wished to not be so.

The first thing he does after his dreary meeting with the hei is over, is search for you, instinctively going to the kitchen and finding you there, already preparing some snacks and drinks for the following reunion…

A duty that inevitably fades into the background when wrapping his hands around your waist, resting his head on the crook of your neck and letting you know just how much he needs you by pressing his hardening cock against the cleft of your ass.

“Na—Naoya…” you whine, doing your best to quiet your voice less you wished to be caught red handed and flustered, as well as figure out why he’s in such a needy mood. “I can’t work like this…”

“You know you shouldn’t be doing anything as my wife, right?” he whispers, nibbling your ear while his hands travel up your waist and to your chest, taking their rightful place just beneath your breasts. “All you need to do is stay home, in my room, preparing for the moment I’ll come back and finally make you a mommy.”

A jolt of pleasure travels down to your core at his words, evident by the way you press your hips against him and whine against his touch.

But even when prepared for the ensuing, it’s still not convincing enough for him to seek your release.

Not now, and certainly not when he calls for you once his second meeting is over, coincidentally the time his lunch was to be served, to which you happily answered to, as usual, taking a seat on his lap and feeding him—

Or attempting to, at least, because his lips would only take your kisses as substance, ignoring your efforts to serve him—food, that is.

“My princess is so eager to please me, isn’t that right?” he says, a smirk growing on his lips when feeling you instinctively rub yourself against his cock, hands on your waist to keep you still, just where he wanted.

“It’s only—my duty.” You whisper, wrapping your arms around his shoulders. Now it’s your words sending a jolt straight to his member, which you immediately feel by the twitches against your ass. Oh, how he must be suffering underneath the tight layers of his clothes… “I want to… make you happy.”

Naoya smirks before placing one of his hands behind your head and pulling you closer to him, taking your lips in a heated kiss for the nth time that occasion, yet again leaving you breathy, whiny, but above all wanting—just as he always did whenever reminding you of his ownership.

From the confines of your mind to the acknowledgement of the staff members, the truth prevailed:

You were his.

And all that he wanted; you’d gladly oblige.

“Nao—Naoya—!” you’d moan, hand scrambling to whether hold onto the wall before you or cover your mouth, only for him to make the decision when pushing you further into the wall, pulling aside the underwear you’ve surprisingly decided to wear today, before taking your wrists with your hands and fervidly continue rubbing his cock against your slit, coating it with your slick, yet denying you of the stretching sensation that always sent you over the edge.

Your husband was a cruel man—a cold, merciless person who took great pleasure in making you suffer like this, denying you of one of the most principal necessities of a marriage.

And yet, you still loved him for it.

“Naoya—please.” You whined, moving your hips against him in a way you’d hope he’d accidentally slip his head into you and properly fuck you—however, his talent not only exceeded in jujutsu, but also in figuring out your intentions and stopping them before sprouting any further. “Pleaseeee—I want it, Naoya, I want to cum!”

“Not yet, whore.” He groans against your ear, briefly releasing his hold on you to swiftly turn you around, eyes dazed in pleasure as he looks down to your chest yet again, a newfound goal flashing across his mind once returning his cock back to your dampened cunt. “Show them—show them to me, quickly.”

You don’t need him to elaborate to immediately get to work, nimbly undoing the covers of your chest and releasing your breasts for him to tease and suck on, like his life depending on it—Naoya is delighted by your unconditional obedience, which he could never get enough of…

Or perhaps take it to the next level.

“You’d do good in staying like this, you know? Not bothering to wear anything anymore, just so you’d always be ready for me.”

As if you hadn’t long discarded the semblance of wearing underwear for that same reason—only doing so today in hopes of keeping him focused on his duties, or at least hindrance him into reconsidering.

But who are you kidding—Naoya was a greedy man, and an insatiable husband who became unstoppable when it came to his lust. With you doing little next to nothing to be his sense of responsibility, opting to instead please, because you were equally, if not more, perverted when it comes to indulging one’s desires.

Thus, the thought of you being completely naked, eagerly welcoming him after a long day of work, ready for him to use you as he pleases is one that enthralls you very, very much. Enough to reconsider pushing him to get that department the two saw a while ago, just so you could let go of any inhibitions (you still had some, surprisingly) and forget about the world around you.

Undoubtedly, you’re spoiling him, enabling him, and more. You really are.

Yet, these things held little space in your mind when the night finally arrives, finding yourself in the confines of your shared bedroom, freed of the silky restrictions against your body, clean of the cum he encased between your cunt and underwear —which he had tasked you to keep there until the end of the day, unnecessarily so since you’d be in a similar worse state by then—but wholeheartedly prepared to serve him as the compliant wife you swore to be.

Because foreplay with Naoya isn’t like a warm-up, or a preparation.

It’s the continuous threat of the inevitable—a reminder that you are nothing but a willing vessel for Naoya’s desire, prepared to receive all that he will give you, even if you knew it would put you in such a state of fuzziness, making remembering who you were or what you were supposed to be doing the next day would an impossible feat, if not worse…

And yet, you wouldn’t want it any other way.

Ok so, either I'm in a very specific mood or Naoya is always nasty. I think it's mainly the last one, but either way, Naoya never struck me as someone to be overtly sweet—like, he can be, but there's always something... perverted behind his actions, if you know what I mean 😏

Also, I want to add that I never really thought of Naoya and foreplay, I just thought this horndog would literally tease you so goddamn much, you'd be ready to go whenever (just one touch and you're wet and ready to go lol. Literal soulmates!!!) but I guess him buying you gifts and bringing you flowers can get you in the mood too... (for a baby, I mean. It's like: *sees flowers* I want him to be the father of my children.)

Anyways, I hope you liked this small piece :> I'm still getting used to writing smut, so I apologize if there are some... things that show my amateur ways, either way, I stil enjoyed writing this very much ❤️

Now, take care, and hope to see you soon!!
