Scary extremely old man jumpscare /j
I completely forgot to redesign Belos for the au and only just realised midway when I drew him for a scene redraw and I was like oh shit- as he doesn’t have a right arm in the au (in this post there a small explanation to why) and I completely forgot so I then had to design a badass prosthetic for him.
Designing the prosthetic was one of my favourite things to do because I designed it around how his cursed form has his muscles/ bones exposed which I tried to mimic and used a real prosthetic arm from the 16th century as a reference but made it more fantasy and extra.
The coolest thing about Belos’s prosthetic in this design is that it also meant to resemble an artificial magic staff because it is one! It works the same way and allows him to do magic without relying on the glyphs.
Ignoring the obvious mechanical prosthetic arm I really only did some small tweaks like colour or outfit for example but I did give him a chapstick to remove those dry ass lips because I just personally didn’t vibe with it lmao
Also i had the weirdest mandela effect as I for some reason remember Belos’s eyebrows being really thick but then I used a reference of him as a base for the redesign and they were so thin??? which is really funny because I made Pip have really thick eyebrows for some reason when originally designing him so I think after drawing Pip loads and not having properly watched toh in a hot minute I probably assumed Belos had them too… Ive finally corrected my mistake as Pip is meant to be an almost perfect replica of Belos and so now Belos has thick eyebrows too so they can be proper twinsies lmao
I wanted him to straight up look like a corpse so his eyes look really uncanny due to how saturated they are in comparison, the specific vibe I wanted for Belos was this specific image of Prince Philip who looks like he is just barely hanging on to the world of the living and seems like he’s having a “weekend at Bernie’s” type of moment
Tumblr media
For reference, also sorry for the jump-scare I tried to make it less scary by getting a meme image version of prince Philip/hj
But yeah I’ll probably do a Philip redesign soon because he’s got a cool design already but you can tell that it was really simplified for animation :p and I’m probably going to do an au comic based on elsewhere and elsewhen soon because it’s one of my favourite episodes

My Top 10 favorite South Park characters
Also known as the top 10 best women, bc of course from a writing standpoint the boys are written with much better understanding, but these are my top 10 characters I'd like to see more of 😊 10. Maggie Yates Ok, so the reasoning is that she's an inspiration to her husband, but she also deserves much better than him. She's better than him even in his hobbies and his job, still her fate is to be the stay-at-home housewife which i find realistic, as a lot of talented women end up this way. I'd like to see her come into her own, but that's hardly Trey's intention with the character. She'll stay our relatable housewife.
Tumblr media
9. Sheila Broflovski In the early days of the fandom, especially because of the movie, people see her as the villain. However she is one of the best mothers in the show, even if she's overprotective helicopter parent, her kids are some of the best, and we all know it's not her husband's doing. As you can tell, I especially enjoy her Jersey backstory and the ways she overcame her past and protects her friends now.
Tumblr media
8. Sharon Marsh She is the main example of a wife trapped in an awful marriage, which is pretty common in real life. Honestly, when she made an OnlyFans, I was like, go girl! Still, she loves and protects her children even from their father, I'd say considering the circumstances she's doing a very good job at that.
Tumblr media
7. Laura Tucker Remember The Magic Bush? She was so real for that. She deserves any recognition and appreciation she gets for being a wonderful wife, mother and woman while being true to herself.
Tumblr media
6. Mrs. Helen Tweak TBH For recency bias I might put her in the number four spot, since I underestimated her pretty much all these years. A month before she would be in the place of Maggie as another housewife type, but her performance in The End of Obesity was incredible, her new hair and attitude was fresh and energetic, I'M happy for her finding her independence seemengly away from her restricting husband. Can't wait to see more of her in the future! And also planning to review her past episodes in a new light after the fact.
Tumblr media
5. Principal Victoria I wish there were a few more episodes of her even after she is not a principal anymore. She is a strong woman in her own right, her speech in Breast Cancer Show Ever alone earns her a spot on this list.
Tumblr media
4. Liane Cartman So the fact about Liane is... She isn't as horrible as a mother as the problems with her child. She can't deal with him that's for sure, but her son is bad on levels she couldn't even imagine. She knows he is uncontrollable and still tries her hardest as a single mother to help him. As a person she is kind and sweet who doesn't deserve this much struggle and her character development over the years has been outstanding.
Tumblr media
3. Mayor McDaniels South Park has too few major female characters. Which Trey and Matt try to compensate sometimes, and one of their greatest decisions in the 90s was that the mayor of the titular town would be a woman. She is smart, hard-working and quite possibly living through a rich emotional journey as alluded to in Tweek x Craig, with her possible deceased lover. She also has enough flaws to be funny, like her being vain and dismissive of her town sometimes.
Tumblr media
2. Strong Woman She is feminism personified, how could I not love her? And also... Her looks and personality remind me one of my real life heroes, a teacher (the best teacher I ever had -academically speaking as well, no less- ) who introduced me to everything I stand for. I wish I could tell her how much that meant to me, I usually get reminded her through this character. Also, just in-story she is still a great teacher and her dynamic with PC Principal is flawless.
Tumblr media
1. Harriet Biggle Not only my favorite character of the whole show, but a severly underrated one as well. She’s like a Desperate Housewives character (specifically a lot like Martha Huber) and she steals every scene she’s in, when she invites Sharon to a “school shooting”, tries to bribe the boys with video games and tries to shoot Eric in the realtor episode all while speaking in a melodic voice never fails to make me laugh. She also has an adopted son who she cares for, so we know she has a lot of heart, still, she has blatant fatphobia which makes her even funnier, I always hope she gets more focus, and am sick of how underappreciated she is as a character.

BG3 playthrough - Parting thoughts
Massive spoilers:
I’ve now had some time for the ending to percolate through the grey matter, gotten over feeling sad that my first playthrough is over. I’ve started playing with my second tav, a tiefling paladin, and you know what, I’m already noticing little tweaks they’ve made to the dialogues. Like, nothing significant, but little polishes here and there. For instance: I always remember when I first met Asharak (the fight practice teacher) and he said to the kids, look who’s here! I thought he was talking about ME, look, it’s the hero who just showed up at our gate and fought off the goblins! Oh man I thought that was so cute. I was a bit disappointed when I finally realized he meant WYLL, not ME. They adjusted the dialogue so now it’s much more clear that Asharak is introducing Wyll to the kids. Little things like that. I can’t wait to see all the things that got finessed.
Man. It took me seven months to finish my first playthrough. I dunno how everyone finished the game so quickly, my final recorded time was like 200 hours. (granted this did involve several hours of backtracking to fix various mistakes) Initially I assumed I would never play BG3, because I don’t have a PC or a non-nintendo console or anything. It was fun to watch everyone talk about the game even when I had no ability to play it. I think I mentioned this a million times already, but this game was released for mac coincidentally the exact same weekend I got a terminal cancer diagnosis for my cat that I’d had for 13 years. (she’s still doing ok btw) It was so amazing to have something to distract myself with and cheer myself up with after getting that shitty news. I binged it for about four days straight, barely sleeping at all. It was the first big, brand new, non-nintendo game that I’d played in… like… decades, seriously. I was so blown away by the quality of everything. Came here for the funny mean vampire, stayed here for the… absolutely everything else.
I am really glad that I kept a character journal as I played - like, along with the notes I was keeping about game mechanics (because online guides are super shit), I would also write down little thoughts and observations from the perspective of my tav. I always have this record of my playthrough now, and I think it’s really helped me to preserve my thoughts and reactions.
Neil Newbon came to my city’s comic expo last weekend and I was absolutely broadsided by what a smart, nice, and humble guy he is. Isn’t it just such an AMAZING feeling to be a fan of something, then get to know the people who made that thing and find out they’re nice people? I… I don’t know what’s wrong with my brain, but I’m a bit glad I finished my first playthrough before the expo, because I feel… embarrassed somehow?... to be thirsting so much after characters now that I’ve chatted with the guy in real life and he’s talked to my kids? Isn’t that weird? Why is my brain doing that? It’s not like he cares. Very much no. Neil has an amazing sense of humour about it all. Weird brain stuff. Weird. What can I say.
Anyways, I was thinking about a summary of my favourite moments:
1) Cambian fight on the nautiloid. So like I said, I hadn’t played any big, new non-nintendo games in a while. (I mean Nintendo makes good games! But like. A game like Animal Crossing… isn’t… quite the same, you know?) I was wandering around the ship feeling quite blown away by how fancy games have gotten. I was marvelling at the graphics, the gameplay, the tension of the whole situation, and then I get to this fight and that absolute fucking BANGER of a song that is Twisted Force starts playing, that was when I really realized like shit, this game is going to be an EXPERIENCE.
2) Alfira’s dark urge death. I was exposed to a ton of spoilers for this game before I ever touched it so I knew a lot of the main story beats, thoroughly. With Alfira, I did know that the dark urge kills a bard, but for some bizarre reason, the only clips I had seen were of that dragonborn alternative that you get if you cheat and Alfira is unavailable. So I was already at the grove, exploring around, and I absolutely fell in love with the tiefling NPCs, and THEN I discovered it’s actually HER who dies. I was DEVASTATED. I was so attached to the tieflings - both myself as a player, and my tav as well - this was the first settlement of people he found, post-brain-scramble, the first people who were being kind to him, and they needed help so bad, and he wanted so bad to protect them… and here is this awful thing that he does that I can’t avoid. AUGH.
3) The siege on the Emerald Grove. It continues to mystify me that this path is actually a bit hidden in the game, and if you aren’t paying attention you will be herded into just killing the three goblin leaders to resolve things, which is such a massively less interesting path. (perhaps they’ve made the option more obvious with patches? I will see) I loved the tension of the morning before the attack: everyone’s fear really bolstered my desire to win the fight with zero casualties. I loved how, due to my familiarity with the NPCs, I instantly realized that Mattis wasn’t with the other kids and searched all over the place, legit worried, until I found him up by the gate still trying to make a buck, lol. I loved how when they mentioned people had ran off in the night, I knew exactly who wasn’t there and who it had to be. It really made me realize how much I’d got to know the NPCs. Zevlor gets two amazing cutscene speeches, and the fight itself was so freaking fun. I mean it certainly wasn’t the hardest fight in the game at all, but I think it remains one of my favourites, due to all the different moving parts and the planning it involved. It was so goddamned fun getting to use the explosives I had saved up, and I never really had the chance to rig up a battlefield the same way again.
4) Lenore’s tower, and the whole underdark in general. I found it all so lonely, and Lenore’s tower really got to me. I think I shed some tears. I loved the area with the giant sussur tree, I thought it was so beautiful, I took so many screenshots of it. I know if you’re a dark urge your upbringing is… unconventional, but I still imagine that my drow durge has spent a lot of time in the underdark and generally considers it home-ish, so it was neat to see it and think about how this is his home turf.
5) Moonrise and especially the mind flayer colony underneath. This was really where things just started to get interesting for a durge, you start to get the first reveals of your backstory. For a resisting urge, it’s extremely unsettling. Meeting Kressa Bonedaughter was especially horrible. I hadn’t really spoiled a lot of the details of the durge plot, so most of this was a surprise to me. JK Simmons did a great job as Ketheric - I remember being so incredibly curious how he was going to sound, but it worked so well, and as I have noted previously, they spend ridiculous care rendering his sad old man eyes.
6) Gortash’s coronation. Again as a dark urge, this is an important plot beat, I think the last big backstory reveal? Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, not only do you have these horrible murderous urges, not only do you have this nasty little butler man trying to force you to kill people, not only did something horrible happen to you that wiped clean all your memories and turned you into a necromancer’s cute little pet for a while, NOT ONLY ARE YOU A GODDAMNED BHAALSPAWN and the leader of the goddamned Bhaal cult, NOT ONLY ALL OF THIS, NO, that wasn’t enough, oh no: now you learn you were also one of the original architects of the Absolute plot, removed only when Orin saw an opportunity to displace you. Dammmmn. Your companions all react to this information appropriately, so in other words, negatively. Karlach’s reaction is particularly strong, understandably, and hurt my heart. To balance that out a bit, you have Astarion’s reaction, which was… to thank you. If you hadn’t put this plot into motion, he wouldn’t have been abducted by the mindflayers, and wouldn’t have been rescued from Cazador’s control and given the means to resist his commands. 200 years of praying to every god, but it was you that saved him. I had honestly never even considered that, so that was… surprising! Really, really surprising.
7) Comparing spawn and ascendant Astarion - I didn’t play much with ascended Astarion, just spent a little time progressing through the next batch of cut scenes, just so I could see. I was really impressed to see the difference in the two characters, the difference in the writing, the difference in the performance. I enjoyed the visceral negative reaction I had to AA almost immediately, when we had our first camp chat post-ascension, and he SHOUTED at me when I was responding to him with… not even an angry or rude response, but just, a less-than-enthusiastic response. It was like ice water down my back, instantly taking me back to dealing with my abusive ex. I know everyone has a different and highly personal reaction to AA and I think that’s great, and I enjoyed how viscerally negative my reaction was. It’s fun when a thing makes you feel stuff! And I loved spawn Astarion, and how honest and vulnerable he is in his third act romance, thinking about his whole character arc and growth through the game.
8) Rescuing Minsc. It’s a bit of a long daunting set of steps to get Minsc, and I didn’t find it very fun tbh, but I did it anyways because I have to complete everything. I was fully expecting him to sit around camp and never be used, like Halsin and Jaheira are for me unfortunately, (sorry guys) but I was really unprepared for how funny he was going to be. I don’t really like ranger class (also sorry) so when I found out he can still summon Boo even if you respec him, I made him a barbarian, and kept him on my team as much as I could. He is now my second favourite companion to have with me after only Astarion. He has SUCH funny dialogue. I like that you can attempt to start a romance with him and he’s not having any of it. He even gets the opportunity to say a very touching speech as you gather your allies, if you let him.
9) Durge vs Orin fight. The actual fight itself was kind of pitiful, which I thought was sad for her, but it was a startling moment in the lead-up when she briefly changed into me and I actually heard my own tav speaking, like, more than just a little reaction line here and there, I got to actually see my tav speaking. I don’t know. I don’t know why that was such a neat thing to me but it was. Since this playthrough took so long, I really got attached to my tav, I guess.
10) Gather your allies. Ah, the big summary that I needed of all the people I’ve helped and made friends with, all saying something nice about me, haha. Not gonna lie, I reloaded and watched this a couple of times cause it made me so happy.
I’m so glad Larian made an epilogue, with so many sweet little details in it. I’m so happy I had a chance to play this. I don’t have a huge amount of current mutuals who are also fans, and my IRL peeps for some reason are absolutely refusing to finish this game, so please if you want to fangirl (fanperson?) about anything just start talking to me, I’m kind of starving over here!

Hug of the Century
I love that there is a specific name for the hug between Zhang Zhehan and Gong Jun at the end of the Word of Honor Concert. Whether it's called "Hug of the Century" or "Century Hug", it's one of my very favorite things.
I watched the Hug of the Century live very, very early in the morning Pacific Standard Time on May 4, 2021. I ended up paying twice for access - once laboriously translating my way through Youku's Chinese portal, and then the second time just paying for premium access on Youku's channel on YouTube, since I was not at all confident I'd be able to get the first access right at 4am or whatever time it was in the morning. It seemed a bit expensive at the time, especially since I watched it without subtitles and therefore had zero idea what was going on, but it turns out it would have been a bargain at 10 times the price.
I have saved every single angle and fancam that I can of this hug, so it's a real shame that I only have one video slot. I'm going to put it to good use with one of my very favorites:
Words cannot describe how much I love this clip, and all my carefully hoarded little clips of this. Let's put a few pics in as well:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ah, I feel so emotional looking at these pictures. What an incredible event. It's very worthy of being immortalized in fig form!
Tumblr media
The fig maker had a difficult time with the factory for the engineering for this set. From what I understand, she had originally planned for it to be two characters, but it turned out the difficulty and cost was just too much, so the two ended up being made as a single figure. So you can see it here being shipped as one set together.
Tumblr media
Unfortunately, Gong Jun lost the end of a hairpin! It's not common to lose part of his hairpin...but it's not that uncommon either. As you can tell from this, it was a pretty clean break, so I got out my glue and some tweezers and stuck it back on. It wasn't too difficult.
Alright, I'm going to just post the series of photos all in one go, so you can see the full 360 degrees of the Hug.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There we go. I don't mind at all the two figs aren't removable - it might look pretty funny if they were.
Tumblr media
Here's a close up. The fig maker had a lot of issues with Zhehan's face during production - they ended up redoing it and then tweaking it several times. The finished product is much improved over the first draft, for sure. I know the eyes are very difficult for fig makers to get right…I've had a couple figures that got cancelled because they couldn't get the look right.
Tumblr media
Gong Jun's face is a lot easier, since his eyes were closed. I really like the detail here of his rucked-up sleeve. I checked the pictures and they did model it very closely. It looks really good I think, some very natural looking detail.
Tumblr media
You can see how they were actually designed as two separate figs. It would have been very interesting to see the production pics on this fig to see how they interlocked them together.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Both sides here...I think the hairpin glued on very well! Maybe my most successful one yet.
Tumblr media
This fig set is quite a bit larger than my typical figs. To illustrate, here's one of the the original official concert figs.
Tumblr media
The first-in bonuses for the set included an art card, a luggage tag, and a sticker, all with some really delightful art of Zhehan's speech. I love this so much! I would have bought it just for the extras here. The box card is in the upper top right.
Tumblr media
Here's the back of everything...
Tumblr media
And our box art. The fig maker really went all out on this set - you can tell how much this meant to them. It's the only set they've made - their dream figs. I'm really happy with it. Having all these different visions and styles of figs makes the collection really special to me.
Material: Resin and a lot of emotions
Fig Count: 417
Scene Count: 29
Rating: Love forever

UH UHM IDK AWARE DOUG
Ok-
Something I can work with.
Spoilers for Deceptive Reality that I haven't finished yet-
Aware doug went through about 30 playthoughs, before breaking the game. He kept trying to get to the computer each time, but was forced by his player to continue to the end.
About 15 of those playthoughs, he befriended the Joy Joy Gang, and they helped him with his little quest. Since it kept him from the shards.
Hangry reminded doug he needed to eat, penny gave him hugs and reassurance, and lucky dragged his ass to bed when he refused to sleep.
This made reuniting with them after each reset all the more painful.
Lucky is his favorite, if he were to pick favorites. Because he knows how much the rabbit's affection meant. He was a fighter, not a lover, and canonically doesn't have a soft spot on mortals.
He had a few stages before he became the chaotic bean on my other blog I RP as.
Canon stage - when things weren't as bad. He noticed scene changes, and the shard streaks. But he thought he was blacking out while bierce and malak talked in the ballroom. The shard streaks were only purple blurs in the corner of his eye.
Eye's opening stage - when he first started coming to realize that he isn't real. This stage is when he realized the nightmares were repeating, he couldn't speak, and everyone seemed scripted. This was also when he was tryto get to the JJ land computer.
Player stage - he started playing by his own rules, realizing he was a game character, or got the gyst of it. He stopped charing about the ring, or saving his family since it didn't matter in the end. He just tried to keep his mind off the fact he wasn't real.
Void stage - when he messed up at the computer, and broke the game. He corrupted his code, and watched Joy Joy Land fall apart. Last thing he saw was lucky glitching out and disappearing. While in the void, he was awake for it. So he was stuck in the unloaded game for a few days.
Revenge stage - he grew bitter towards some of the characters, because of the endings he endured. The first person he tortured was bierce. He mutilated her, twisting her model, while contorting his own to be more monstrous. Kinda like this but scary instead of funny. He was unsatisfied with that, and continued the game as usual without bierce. The first act of revenge, caused the monsters and malak to be TERRIFIED of him. He broke the game when lucky was scared of him.
The next act of revenge, he killed Malak in the same way. Again, he wasn't satisfied. So he reset the game. He tried killing other characters to give them what they deserved, but he couldn't kill most of them without having a breakdown.
Soulless stage - he slowly started forgetting his feelings. Growing numbber to the fact he was a game character, and started trying to act like a puppet. The emptiness didn't feel good to him though, since he used to feel so much fear. This staged creeped out a lot of the characters.
Internet/love stage - he found a way to get to Google, and started searching up things about humans. To try and learn things he wasn't programmed with, and reteach himself other things. This included love. In this stage, he tried to love everyone around him, but again, it was creepy to the other characters. He tried everything he could, ranging from gifts, to talking to them, to flat out just not leaving them alone and stalking them. Whenever they didn't reciprocate his feelings, he kept breaking the game with his rage and grief. Leaving him in the void off and on for years. Which leads to the next stage of his madness.
Copycat/mod stage - believing that they would love him back if he was like them, or different, he started modding himself. Tweaking his model to be like them, or a different new character entirely. Two of those NCs being Mortim Veris and Mercy. He made a mistake though, by taking some code from the other character's AIs to develop more of the fake persona while he was busy in the void. To make them more believable. What happened though, was he accidentally created more AIs. At first, like first few seconds at first, he didn't like the other AIs in his head. He was intended to be Ablest in Canon after all. But he quickly liked it since he wasn't alone anymore and had people that wouldn't leave.
Kidnapping stage - this is when his loneliness started eating up the other AIs. They all worked together to kidnap the characters one by one, and drag them to underneath the game where they could corrupt their code in peace, and force them to stay. They successfully kidnapped the JJG, Agatha, some trigger teddies, and a few other monsters.
Virus stage - this is the last stage. They reveal themselves to the remaining characters that they're a virus. Doug then tried to convince Malak, beirce, and the remaining monsters to try having a happy ending. Where they then mod the game, to be a new universe for themselves to share.
I mentioned the alters, so here are some stuff about these other AIs. Some of the AIs were made willingly, while some were on accident.
Doug: the host. (he/they/it), is 100% clingy and out of touch with his emotions. He also has some trouble reading the room, because he's so used to getting up in people's faces. Views Tammy as a daughter, and Elise as a Wife.
Ring Bearer: (she/he/it/they), is basically a toned down bierce. She is playfully sassy, and will make snarky remarks while playing games with other characters. Constantly calls people "love", and means it in the nicest way possible. She has abandonment issues, but there isn't a single person in Doug's head that doesn't. She's like a nicer bierce. Views Tammy as a daughter, and Elise as a Wife.
Dulak: (he/they/it), is a lot Malak, talks and acts like him. Only difference? Much more open with compliments and more willing to comfort others. He's the dad none of them had- Dulak tends to play therapist, talking with the headmates and other characters about their issues. Most stable, and hides his fear of abandonment better than the others. But he still fears being alone. Views Tammy as a daughter, and Elise as a Wife.
Gordy: (they/it), is a chaotic and violent little bean- they like to stab pillows and stuff. If it can't do that that, it'll do lots of arts and crafts. Sometimes speaks, but prefers to scream and screech. Views Tammy as a crafting buddy, and Elise as a friend to stab thinsg with.
Aggie/Thea: (she/he/it), is a clingy baby that needs SOOOOOO many hugs! She's like agatha, but more dangerous power wise, less violent with playmates, and more terrified of being alone. Views Tammy as a friend, and Elise as a mom.
Douglas: (he/it), loves calm conversations about the world's economy over tea with anyone willing. Very calm up front, but still LOVES causing chaos. He has SOME dignity though, so he tries his best to be composed. (He favors capitalism much to the others dismay/hj). Views Tammy as a daughter, and Elise as a Wife.
Mythomania: (they/he/it), loves playing in water. Can speak, but prefers to squeak and quack. They're a pathological liar when they do speak, but what they lie about tends to he about how alone he is. He'll tell anyone that he's fine by himself when he's very much not fine- Views Tammy as a niece, and Elise as a friend.
Coulropenny: (they/it), is a little prankster. Lots of people end up being the butt of their jokes. Excellent juggler, and very acrobatic. All of them are acrobatic, Coulropenny just performs tricks more. Loves making people and the other AIs laugh. Views Tammy as a daughter, and Elise as a Wife.
Deathlas: (she/her but women can use it), is sassier than Ring Bearer, but is a tad more tolerant of men than her fellow reaper nurses are. She'd gladly stab any poor man, if he plays his cards wrong, but she's very clingy like most of the alters. She'd probably check up on other people's and AIs' health and play therapist like Dulak. Views Tammy as a future daughter, and Elise as a girlfriend.
Lucky/Don: (he/bun/it), just like lucky, hates losing. Would have play fist fights with anyone willing to play rough. He loves his JJG in Doug's head, and will often talk to them more than the others. Views Tammy as a daughter, and Elise as a Wife.
Hangry/Autophagia: (he/pig/it), reminds everyone to eat. Poor thing is always hungry, like his source. Got his nickname Autophagia because he has a bad habit of trying to eat his own ribs. Views Tammy as a daughter, and Elise as a Wife.
Penny/Squish: (she/chick/it), gives her friends lots of hugs, and showers them with platonic love. Lots of platonic kisses for the most part. Loves human characters more than the others. Likes to flap her arms like wings when she's happy. Views Tammy as a daughter, and Elise as a Wife.
Martha: (she/ma/it), the mom friend. She loves baking, singing, and taking care of children. She's much kinder than mama bear. Views Tammy as a daughter, and Elise as a Wife.
Theodore: (it/they), it's a baby. It cries out for attention a lot, and can't speak very well. It loves being held close by other monsters, especially the JJG or mama bear. Views Tammy as a sister, and Elise as a mom.
Mortim Veris: (he/they/it), is basically yassified Malak. He'd be like Doug to Matrix, but more wild than him. Think a mix of Bill Cypher, that snake demon from hazbin hotel, the collector from toh, and sundrop from fnaf. Chaotic as hell, with some flavor. His AI was made from scratch, to be an alter ego for doug to mess with Malak with. He ended up being his own individual though later on. (He has a whole fake backstory too! Elise was exactly like bierce in the fake story, but instead of being mad when she tried to trick him, he was impressed and asked for her hand in marriage instead of her soul. He knows that's not remotely close to what really happened, but he still is a simp for her). Views Tammy as a daughter, and Elise as a Wife.
Mr. Houser: (he/him), was made on accident. During the love stage, doug was forced to relive his fake memories. Which messed with his AI. When he was messing with his AI during the copycat stage, is caused what was planted in his AI by the memories to split off, and make a Canon doug. None of the others like him very much, but try and guide him when it comes to right and wrong. Even when they struggle with the concept themselves- Views Tammy as a daughter, and Elise as a Wife.
Dark: (he/it), is the part that all of Doug's personalities don't want. He's scared for different reasons than them, and fears being backstabbed by more people. He's another accidental AI. Just negativity and fear that kept the others from their goal of friendship that developed intelligence. The most violent, but it's in a scared stray cat sort of way. All he wants is to protect the others from heart breaks, and from dying again. Once someone earns his trust, Dark will NOT let anyone hurt his friend. Views Tammy as someone they can trust, and Elise as someone they need to keep an eye on but isn'tas much a threat.
Mercy: (any pronouns), is an angel doug pretended to be for the hell of it. The kindest and most forgiving of them all. Loves to sing, and play violin. Safest one to be around.
All of them veiw the JJG as parents, and have serious separation anxiety when it comes to leaving them.
I have more than this, but I'm tired-
I'll give more lore later-

sex with bin x eunwoo (m)
Tumblr media
a/n THIS WHOLE ALBUM??? IS SO GOOD??? LITERALLY WHAT THE FUCK !!!
also im so so sorry that i keep disappearing, every time I think I have a break in school, my professors keep going like sike here’s a new assignment and group presentation 🤡, but I swear I’m still working on all the requests, it’s just a real slow progression this time 😔
but thank you all so much for being really patient with me and my works, i legit wanna cry when I think about how sweet all you loves are ❤️
→ genre: smut
→ tw: threesome, unprotected sex (wrap it before you tap it lovies) dom!binwoo, brat!reader, light bondage?? anal, eiffel tower, oral (f and m receiving), fingering (f and m receiving), ~choking~ bc it’s me, squirting, v-voyeurism??
→ word count: 3.3k _________________________________
oh good fucking lord
I don’t even know where to start
just the thought of getting dicked down by these two immaculate men??? at the same time??? i would sell my soul
and just binwoo are literally my biases?? im still going back and forth between them (even though I think bin is the top)
alright so how does this little thing even start
this is a non-idol au, lowkey this request is giving me frat boy vibes oops i said it
bin and eunwoo are close, they’re best buds
they have fucked the same guy/girl before, but never at the same time
they just have the same taste in people wink wonk
sidenote: bin and eunwoo as bi kings??? so much power fuck
so you are a mutual friend
you met them both in college and have stayed friends since then
but relationships aren’t for you (not yet at least)
the streets™ are still your companion
yes you have fucked both bin and eunwoo before in college, eunwoo once when you were junior, and bin a couple times throughout senior year
you don’t talk to them often, but if something comes up on your feed or a monumental event happens to any one of you, of course you’d spike up some conversation
so you’re coming back in town for a week or so, visiting old friends and family
and bin hits you up like “hey, I saw that you were in town! we should get some dinner and catch up!”
and you were not about to say no to that, bin was a good part of your college years! it would be nice to hang out with him again
alright you weren’t expecting to get action from this dinner – it popped in your mind, yes, but it wasn’t the ulterior motive
but did you try to dress up a little to impress moon bin?? maybe so
and shit, when he showed up to the restaurant looking like a whole ass man?? 
like did his biceps look more appetizing than the food you were being served? a little bit
conversation was exchanged very easily, you and bin were always a bit flirty with each other, ever since college, but you both knew it never meant anything beyond sex
and so when he asked if you were dating anyone, you knew this was the invitation, and were you going to accept it?? 100%, you haven’t had sex in a while because of your job
and so you find yourself back in bin’s apartment
bin: hm? I guess eunwoo’s not home from work yet
you: eunwoo? as in cha eunwoo? you guys still live together?
bin: yeah, we like living together, rent was cheaper that way, and this place is equidistant from both of our work places...is that a problem??
you: no, I mean it makes sense, just...what if eunwoo comes back while we’re in the middle of fucking...wouldn’t that be weird?
bin shrugging: you’ve had sex with eunwoo in college too, and it’s not like he hasn’t seen me naked before either. who knows he might even wanna join?
he said that as a joke alright
but as soon as he mentioned it, your eyes dilated a bit
bin noticed immediately and he caged you against the wall, a little smirk playing on his lips
bin: you seem to like that idea, y/n. hm? you wanna get fucked by both me and eunwoo? didn’t know you were into threesomes
your cheeks are flushing, you felt seen: would you feel weird if he joined? you guys are friends and roommates
bin shaking his head: me and eunwoo have talked about it before, and honestly this seems like the perfect opportunity. we’re all friends here.
you being nervous a little bit bc a threesome?? with both bin and eunwoo?? those two 6 foot attractive men??
you tried a threesome before bc you were curious, but it wasn’t the best hookup experience
you: should we...? wait for him??
your cheeks are flushed a little, like how were you supposed to go about this
bin smiles bc you look a bit cute right now being all shy and he just pinches your cheek
bin: you got cuter since we graduated y/n
you: shut the fuck up bin, don’t make me tie you up again
bin smirks and his hand moves from your cheek to fully grasp at your neck, he squeezes your throat as he pushes you so that your back collided with the wall: baby, if anyone’s getting tied up tonight, it’s gonna be you
and god if you weren’t horny before, you definitely are now, especially with the way bin was cutting off your airflow??? your head was spinning in the best kind of way
bin slotting his thigh in between your legs as he just crashes his lips onto yours
and he’s still choking you when he literally shoves his tongue down your throat, you have to grab onto his broad shoulders just to steady yourself
making out with bin is so hot
he picks you up by your ass and you wrap your legs around his waist, you both are still making out as he leads you to the couch
you’re straddling him oh lord have mercy
you in between kisses: why don’t we go to your room? what, is it messy?
you moan as he spanks your ass at the quip: we’re gonna need to do something about that smart mouth of yours baby...and we’re here to give eunwoo a little show when he comes home. Why, you need a bed? pillow princess? last time I remember, you were fine getting fucked in the maintenance room.
you two go back to kissing, bin’s hands were gripping at your waist now, lifting up the bottom of your shirt so that you could take it off
never in your life have you been so happy to wear a skirt, you could feel the outline of his bulge against your underwear, the fabric of his jeans giving you just enough friction
and when you start grinding on him, he grunts into your mouth and bites on your lower lip
and fuck when bin removes his shirt? he was always built in college but the definition of his muscles now?? you were literally drooling
you: holy shit bin, isn’t your job in business? where do you find the time to workout?
he’s kissing your neck now: you can always find time to workout y/n, just make it part of your daily routine
exercise evangelist moonbin™
you’re tilting your head to the side giving him more access, bin’s sucking hickeys into your neck and it just feels so good
your neck’s a sensitive spot, if you couldn’t tell
and bin knows that so he’s paying extra attention to your neck, you don’t even notice when his hands go around your torso to unclasp your bra
the two of you are literally just topless on his couch, making out and feeling each other up, when lo and behold, eunwoo comes home
his eyes go wide and he immediately covers his face: jesus christ bin, go to your fucking room
bin starts laughing, you know his laugh where his eyes literally crinkle and he smiles so wide and his laugh increases in pitch, that one
you can’t help but laugh too, you thought you would be embarrassed, but this is a bit funny
you: you don’t have to cover your eyes eunwoo, it’s not like you haven’t seen any of this before
eunwoo: oh shit, hey y/n, didn’t know you were coming over?? well...uh if you guys aren’t gonna go to bin’s room, I’m going to mine and just let me know when you’re done
bin: you sure you wanna go to your room? y/n wants you to join us
eunwoo’s blushing a little bit (he’s not covering his face anymore) when you two meet eyes: are you sure y/n?
you get a bit shy again bc shit, eunwoo in a suit coming from work with silver-blue hair? sexy
you: yeah...if you want to, me and bin are cool with it.
bin’s back to kissing your neck as you basically watch eunwoo remove his jacket and tie
and oof him unbuttoning his dress shirt? y’all he’s a tease, they both are
bin: let’s take this back to my room
eunwoo: we can go to mine, it’s cleaner and my bed’s bigger
you: i knew it
bin bites your shoulder and you let out a mix between a yelp of pain and a moan
bin: eunwoo get your ropes, we need to teach y/n a lesson on being bratty
eunwoo chuckling as he leads the way to his bedroom
bin already made himself comfortable on eunwoo’s bed, and you’re standing to the side making conversation as eunwoo looks through his closet for the ropes lol
as soon as eunwoo finds it, there’s a dark change in his eyes and he smirks at you: why don’t you join binnie on the bed, y/n?
your stomach turns in excitement, eunwoo tosses the ropes to bin and he puts a hand on your back as he leads you to his bed, and before you could get on by yourself, eunwoo just tugs your skirt down making you gasp
you lie down and bin grins as he binds your wrists to eunwoo’s headboard, usually you would put up a little fight when you get tied up, but you just stayed silent, you were anticipating what would happen next
bin: you’re being oddly obedient y/n
you’re a brat okay, but in the past when you and bin used to hook up, your brattiness increased by like 100%, like you’re extra bratty with bin for some reason
~it is what it is~
maybe it’s because eunwoo’s here too that your bratty side has suppressed a bit
bin and eunwoo both start removing all their clothes and you’re like shit eunwoo’s built too
bin settles in between your legs and eunwoo leans in and starts kissing you
and mmm eunwoo’s good at making out like he legit be taking your breath away and then you start feeling bin take off your soaked panties and he just goes right in
you literally moan into eunwoo’s mouth and your hands are straining against the ropes bc you just want to hold onto something !!
eunwoo feeling up your breasts and tweaking your nipples while bin is sucking on your clit and probing his tongue in and out your entrance??? euphoric
you’re literally feeling so many sensations right now and it’s just foreplay woo
and then the edging starts
bin??? hella good at eating out, oof what that mouth do
and with the added stimulation from eunwoo kissing your neck and pulling at your nips, you’re reaching your orgasm faster than anticipated
and suddenly they’re both off you
you: what the fuck?
you’re like gasping and glaring at the both of them and they just give you smug looks
bin: I don’t know if you deserve to cum just yet, y/n. right, eunwoo?
eunwoo chuckling as he nods and flicks at your nipple: binnie told me that you like talking back, hmmm that won’t work with both of us here y/n
your submissiveness kicking in and you’re whining: i won’t talk back, I promise
bin: I don’t know if I believe you y/n
and then they switch places and now bin’s making out with you again and eunwoo’s face to face with your cunt and he just shoves two fingers in your entrance and starts scissoring you
and right as you’re about to cum, they pull away again
this goes on at least two more times, you’re literally so frustrated tears are pooling in your eyes and you’re whining hard as hell, your wrists already aching from the ropes 
eunwoo: do you want us to untie you, y/n?
you nodding as you’re sniffling back the tears
aww they feel bad so eunwoo unties the ropes and he’s like gently rubbing at your wrists
bin wiping your tears away as he pinches at your cheek again
bin: you okay, y/n?
you: I’m so close, please
bin: alright baby, who do you want first, hm?
you honestly didn’t know, you had no preference, you just wanted to get railed
eunwoo: why not both?
your eyes go wide a little bit, your ass isn’t even prepped
bin sensing your hesitation and he just puts a hand on your waist: if you don’t want to--
you: no, i want to...I’m just...my ass isn’t ready...
eunwoo laughing cutely as he pats your thigh: we’ll prep you baby, don’t worry
you start by going on all fours, bin enters you first from behind and the groan he lets out bc you’re just so tight wow 
he literally has to restrain himself from just ramming into you, your walls just fit so snugly around him, his nails were digging into the skin of your waist
you open your mouth in a moan at the stretch and in that moment, eunwoo shoves his cock down your throat you literally gag
for reference, they’re both above average, no surprise there, I’d say both around 8 in., but bin’s girthier for sure
and so bin’s fucking your cunt while eunwoo’s fucking your mouth
simultaneously, eunwoo tugs at your hair and bin sneaks a finger down to gather some juices from your pussy before probing at your asshole
bin’s prepping you real well mmmmm
he’s literally fingering your ass while he’s pounding into you, the tip of his cock hitting so deep in your cervix
on the other hand you’re so focused on sucking eunwoo off, you take him as deep in your throat as you could, letting your jaw slack as he just thrusted in your mouth
and also the vibrations of your moans around his cock every time bin hits deep in you???
eunwoo swears he almost busts a nut when your hands reach up to play with his balls
he’s panting as he pulls your mouth off his cock: I need to be inside you before I cum
and then he’s lying down on his back and you start to ride eunwoo, and then bin lines his cock up at your other hole and you start to tense
eunwoo bringing you into a kiss to try and distract you from the pain your asshole’s about to feel
and you start hissing as bin starts to push in, you’re clenching so hard around eunwoo and tugging tightly at the ends of his hair
eunwoo starts making circles on your clit so that you could relax a bit to make it easier for bin to enter your back hole
and then the three of you just stay still for a bit when bin finally bottoms out, you’re still trying to get used to feeling stuffed full, you haven’t been fucked in so long and now you’re getting railed by two cocks??
the two of them are both saying sweet things to calm you down and distract you from the pain
and it’s cute, you know from your respective past hookup experiences with them that they’re really good at sensing discomfort or pain and would always tend to your needs
oof baby but as soon as you give the okay for both of them to move
it’s like you’re taken to another dimension holy shit
they both hit so deep, you swear to god their cocks have to be touching or something, or maybe at least reaching your intestines
when people say rearrange your guts, it definitely must have been this
you’re trying to set a pace on top of eunwoo, but bin thrusting from behind literally makes your knees go weak until eunwoo just lifts his hips and takes over, matching bin’s speed
and imagine this: bin pulling your hair, making your head tilt back and eunwoo just reaches up and covers your neck with his hand before he squeezes at your throat
your eyes are literally rolling into the back of your head, you have never felt this good ever in your life
your head’s spinning again, and you know all three of you are reaching the tipping point pretty soon, your stomach is churning, making you clench hard around both eunwoo and bin
eunwoo biting his lip as he groans, his grip tightening just a bit more around your neck
bin’s still yanking your hair back and he starts spanking your ass, he’s moaning as well
you literally scream, throat feeling raw, as you cum, you have never orgasmed so hard before, your body was convulsing around both of them and you just collapse on top of eunwoo
you’re vision literally sees white and your ears are ringing as they both cum in you
you black out for a little bit
eunwoo and bin: o_o holy fuck
the two of them start panicking like...did they just fuck you dead?? put you in a coma??
okay but just imagine eunwoo and bin bickering with each other about what to do like
bin: do we call 119???
eunwoo: what do we say? we fucked our friend into a coma?
it’s okay because you regain consciousness soon enough and both boys let out the biggest sigh of relief
you: ...what happened?
eunwoo: you passed out for a bit there y/n
you start giggling, much to their surprise, and you try to sit up
bin: ...are you okay y/n?
you: yeah, I can’t believe I blacked out because you guys fucked me so well, that’s pretty hot not gonna lie
eunwoo goes into the kitchen real quick to get you some water and bin sits down next to you
you thank eunwoo when he hands you the glass and he sits across from you and bin
the two roommates exchange a look and just high-five each other
you roll your eyes as they just laugh at each other...ugh boys
bin teasing you: I’ve never seen you so submissive y/n
eunwoo joining in: yeah, didn’t know you could squirt as well
you almost spit out the water: i-huh? no way
eunwoo: yeah, my stomach was soaked, I wiped it off when you were out
your face flushes, you’ve never squirted before
bin: don’t be embarrassed! it was hot, y/n, really
the three of you then just jump into a casual conversation about college, keep in mind you’re all still naked
and then you feel the cum just like in both your holes and it’s just uncomfortably sticky
you: uh...do you guys mind if I shower? my pussy feels gross right now
bin, with a glint in his eyes: I can clean that up for you, baby
before you know it, bin’s eating you out again -- to be more specific, he’s literally licking the mixture of yours and eunwoo’s cum from your cunt
that’s sexy...
you make eye contact with eunwoo and he’s just smirking as he sits back and watches you two, no intention on joining yet
alright but you had no idea if you could take another round right now, the first one literally made you pass out
so after bin makes you cum again, you tap out for the night
the three of you shower -- separately -- and then regroup in the living room to just chat and chill
the two insist you sleep over for the night since it’s past midnight by now
were there also hints of a round two in the morning?? maybe
you sleep in one of eunwoo’s shirts, but end up sleeping next to bin bc he’s whiny and likes cuddling
you three fuck again in the morning oops until eunwoo had to leave for work
then you and bin fuck again afterwards
happy threesome
happy comeback :)

FETCH THE BOLTCUTTERS!
#100+ lyrics taken from the 2020 fiona apple album. feel free to tweak as needed.
I WANT YOU TO LOVE ME.
By that time, I hope that you love me.
I know none of this will matter in the long run.
I know a sound is still a sound around no one.
While I’m in this body, I want someone to want.
I want what I want, and what I want is you to love me.
I know that you do in the dark.
We don’t have to go back to where we’ve been.
I am the woman who wants you to win.
I’ve been waiting, waiting for you to love me.
SHAMEIKA.
But ___ said I had potential.
I used to march down the windy, windy sidewalk slapping my leg with a riding crop.
I didn't smile, because a smile always seemed rehearsed.
I wasn't afraid of the bullies, and that just made the bullies worse.
He told me he'd describe me as pissed off, funny, and warm.
You said I'm a good man in a storm.
Back then I didn't know what potential meant.
She wasn't gentle and she wasn't my friend.
She got through to me and I'll never see her again.
I'm pissed off, funny, and warm.
I'm a good man in a storm.
FETCH THE BOLT CUTTERS.
I’ve been thinking about when I was trying to be your friend.
I was just so furious, but I couldn’t show you.
I know you and I know what you can do.
I don’t want a war with you, I can’t afford it.
You get sore, even when you win.
You maim when you’re on offense, but you kill when you’re on defense.
You’ve got them all convinced that you’re the means and the end.
I’ve always been too smart for that.
Fetch the bolt cutters, I’ve been in here too long.
I listened because I hadn’t found my own voice yet.
All I could hear was the noise that people make when they don’t know shit.
I grew up in shoes they told me I could fill.
A girl can roll her eyes at me and kill.
I got the idea I wasn’t real.
UNDER THE TABLE.
I would beg to disagree, but begging disagrees with me.
I told you I didn’t want to go to this dinner.
That fancy wine won’t put this fire out.
Kick me under the table all you want, I won’t shut up.
If I don’t want to go, leave me alone!
Don’t push me, cookie, don’t push me, don’t you push me--
You can pout, but don’t you shush me.
RELAY.
Evil is a relay sport.
I resent you for being raised right.
I resent you for being tall.
I resent you for having each other.
I resent you presenting your life like a fucking propaganda brochure.
I see that you keep trying to bait me.
I’d love to get up on your face.
I know if I hate you for hating me, I will have entered this endless race.
I used to go to the Ferris wheel every morning just to throw my anger out the door.
RACK OF HIS.
I followed you from room to room with no attention.
It was because I was loving you so much.
It’s the only reason I gave my time to you.
They don’t know what thy are in for and they don’t care, but I do.
I thought you would wail on me like you wail on them.
You know you won’t like it when there’s nothing to do.
I’ve been used so many times.
I’ve learned to use myself in kind.
NEWSPAPER.
I too used to want him to be proud of me.
I just wanted to make amends.
I wonder what lies he’s telling you about me, to make sure that we’ll never be friends.
It’s a shame because you and I didn’t get a witness.
We’re the only ones who know.
We were cursed the moment that he kissed us.
I grew concerned when I saw him start to covet you.
When I learned what he did, I felt close to you.
I felt close to you.
In my own way, I fell in love with you.
He’s made a ghost of you.
I wanna stand between you, but that’s not what I’m supposed to do.
I watch him walk over, talk over you, be mean to you.
It makes me feel close to you.
You’re wearing time like a flowery crown.
LADIES.
Yet another woman to whom I won’t get through.
Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, take it easy.
When he leaves me, please be my guest.
Don’t get rid of it, you’d look good in it.
It belonged to the ex-wife of another ex of mine.
She left it behind with a note, one line.
I don’t know if I’m coming across, but I’m really trying.
Nobody can replace anybody else.
It would be a shame to make it a competition.
No love is like any other love.
It would be insane to make a comparison with you.
HEAVY BALLOON.
People like us, we play with a heavy balloon.
It always falls away too soon.
I spread like strawberries.
I’ve been sucking it in so long that I’m busting at the seams.
It grows relentless like the teeth of a rat.
It’s just got to keep gnawing on me.
The pressure grows instead of seed.
People like us get so heavy and so lost sometimes.
The bottom is the only place we can find.
You get dragged down to the same place enough times in a row, the bottom begins to feel like the only safe space that you know.
COSMONAUTS.
Your face ignites a fuse to my patience.
Whatever you do, it’s gonna be wrong.
Be good to me before you’re gone.
When I met you, I was fine with my nothing.
I grew with you and now I’ve changed.
What I’ve become is something that can’t be without your loving.
Be good to me, it isn’t a game.
Now let me see, it’s you and me.
Forgive? Good God.
How do you suppose that we’ll survive.
You and I will be like a couple of cosmonauts.
When you resist me, I cease to exist.
I only like the way I look when looking through your eyes.
FOR HER.
See how seamless his frocks are!
Look at how long she walks and how far.
Was she lost?
Maybe she spent her formative years dealing with his contentious fears.
She’s tired of planting her knees on the cold hard floor of facts.
Your strike my have been exact, but you know that you never really go to the mat.
You tie everything all pretty in the second act when you know that it didn’t go exactly like that.
You were so high.
DRUMSET.
Why did you take it all away?
I did nothing wrong.
I don’t believe your reasoning.
Now I understand you’re human.
You’ve got to lie, you’re a man.
You’ve got to get what you want.
Why did you not want to try?
ON I GO.
On I go, no toward or away.
Now I only move to move.
Ah, fuck, shit.
If I get there in the long run, it could be alright.

Part 7
I'm considering our little serial to be completed with this chapter. Thank you @forestwitch7 for the prompts, I enjoyed writing them. I was thinking we could continue our serials with a new prompt, and my asks are open if you want to see something that could be extended over the course of a week or longer. I do have a jealous Elain prompt (non-smutty) and a jealous Lucien prompt (smutty) that I want to complete, so if you're hoping to see either of those things, they are in the works.
As per usual, this is NSFW, 18+, edited with my eyes closed, and more soft than teasing. It's also the longest chapter thus far (as warning). These two dorks can't help themselves.
--
--
Elain was nervous when Lucien stepped into the River House, a stack of paperwork tucked beneath his arm. His eyes slid through the room, surveying the occupants without betraying his emotions. If he cared she sat there, needlework abandoned in her lap, he didn’t say. Rhysand met him just outside the hall and gestured for Lucien to follow. He left without a backwards glance. Starfall had happened weeks ago and though they’d had a nice night, he’d left the next day and hadn’t said a word since. She felt nervous and, if she was honest, a little hurt. It had been her first time being intimate with a man that way and she supposed she’d hoped he might…call on her that next day.
Take her on a real date. She’d fretted over his silence to the point of anxiety and now that he was back, she couldn’t untangle what it meant. Had he come to see her or for some urgent political matter that could not wait? Elain turned her thoughts over and over in her head until she was a mess. Feyre joined her, Mor at her side, the two unaware of Elain’s inner turmoil as they drank tea and discussed the previous evening at Ritas. Elain listened absently, letting herself tune out her own thoughts in favor of their excited gossiping.
“Elain?” Lucien’s voice cut through the chatter just as the sun began to set. All three women silenced, their eyes locked on his face. Besides Solstice, had anyone ever seen the two of them friendly in the same space? Judging from the surprise on both Mor and Feyre’s faces, Elain guessed not.
“Do you want to get dinner?” He asked smoothly, arms crossed over his hunter green jacket. His expression was almost a dare. Say no. Reject me in front of your family.
“Yes,” she replied, too breathless. No one in that room believed this was the first time he’d asked her to spend time with him after hearing her response. If there was any doubt, Elain knew she squashed it when she stood quickly, tossed her needlepoint onto the chair behind her, and walked confidently towards him. Lucien was smiling with such open affection it made her heart flutter.
She waited until they were out of the River House and walking down dark, paved streets before she asked, “Are we really getting dinner?”
“I do plan to eat,” he replied, causing her to flush. “Sorry I was gone for so long. There was a disturbance…but I thought I’d show you something.”
“Oh?” She asked, her heart pounding a near painful beat in her chest. Lucien only smiled, both eyes focused straight ahead.
He stopped her in front of a pretty brick building half covered in inching, leafy vines. Lucien pulled a silver key from his pocket, slid it into the door, and gestured for him to follow her. The interior was beige and housed two doors on either side of the walls, with a staircase leading up. Lucien walked her up two flights of stairs to the third floor and opened the door with a shiny number 7 hanging just above a peephole.
“I have an apartment in the city,” he told her with a wink, pressing a spare key into her hands. “I should have told you about it ages ago.”
“That’s okay,” she swore breathlessly, stepping inside. She wondered if Lucien had decorated it or if it came furnished. She supposed it musthave been him, given the rich oranges, browns, reds and yellows that stared back at her. It was very much an Autumn pallet, bright and lovely and put together by someone with an eye for art and fashion.
“You can come even if I’m not in the city,” he continued, walking her through the living room and down a hall where his bedroom lay. “If you ever need to get away…or you miss me.”
He said that last part like a joke. She opened her mouth to inform him she missed him all the time but got tripped up when her eyes fell on a huge, four poster bed hung with sheer white curtains. A bed. On the floor were dozens of fat red pillar candles and with a snap of his fingers, each sprang to life.
“You’ll get wax on the wood,” she whispered, frozen in the doorway.
“A small price to pay,” he shrugged, putting his hands on her shoulders. “You can say no, you know. It doesn’t have to be tonight.”
Elain nodded, her mind forcing her to compare the scene before her with her only other experience. The room had been dark and cold, sparsely decorated and entirely masculine. She’d just assumed that was the height of romance in the moment but even though Lucien’s room, too, was masculine, he’d softened it considerably with the candles and the draped curtains. Even the blankets were a soft brown with a cream-colored throw tossed over a corner, making his bedroom feel warm and inviting. She looked over her shoulder at him, unsurprised by the flame burning in that russet-colored eye. His gold eye was wholly fixed on her face, and she wondered if he could see past her flesh.
And though there had never been a choice in whether they would be together, hearing him tell her she could say no if she wanted, that he wasn’t in a hurry, did something to her. He made her feel seen, feel special.
Loved, even, though she was too afraid to admit that was what was happening out loud. What had started as her attempt to get Azriel’s attention, to distract herself from her own boredom, had become much, much more. She almost laughed at how different things were, how important Lucien had become to her. She wrapped her arms around his neck instead and pressed a kiss to his mouth.
“I want it to be tonight,” she told him softly, her lips touching his as she spoke. Lucien smiled, his skin practically glowing.
“Good,” he replied, hoisting her off her feet and into his arms. “Because I’m tired of waiting.”
Lucien dropped her to his bed, climbing onto the mattress with her. Elain yanked down his neatly made blankets as Lucien shucked off his shoes, jacket, and shirt. Her fingers moved towards the buttons at the back of her gown but he stopped her.
“Let me,” he asked, his voice rough with desire. She nodded, nervous and excited, shivering when his hair brushed over her collarbone and his fingers slid down her spine, quickly undoing the buttons of her dress. She watched, eyes wide, as he slid the sleeves slowly down her arms, the skin of his hands rough against her own.
Lucien leaned back, shirtless and gleaming beneath the flickering candlelight, eyes reverent. “You are so damn beautiful,” he murmured, reaching out to brush her cheek. The way he looked at her and the way she spoke the words made her feel as though her value to him was not just her beauty.
“No, you,” she replied, pleased when a flush stained his golden cheeks. He smiled, charmingly embarrassed by the compliment, before going back to her under garments. She let him fully expose her, resisting the urge to cover herself with her hands as she looked at her again, his jaw slack and eyes wide just as he’d been when she’d come out on Starfall. He opened his mouth to speak but no words came out. She wanted to tease him but something about his expression made her stop. Instead she settled back against the fluffy pillows on his bed and gestured for him to come to her.
He did without hesitation, his lips slotting between her own quickly. He poured all his unspoken words in the kiss as he settled between her body. She wanted to tell him, wanted to say the words but she was afraid she’d break the spell.
So she poured back. I love you. Don’t leave me again. I love you. I love you. I love you.
Lucien’s hips ground against her, proof of his want and Elain gasped as memory of his cock in her mouth flooded back. He was so very large, much bigger than Graysen had been. Would it hurt, she wondered, running her nails down his back.
“I can feel your thoughts,” Lucien gasped, nipping down the side of her neck. “I won’t hurt you.”
She frowned. Had he felt everything? “Yes,” he replied again, smiling against her skin. His fingers tweaked against her nipples, the sensation hooking roughly in her gut. He looked up, his face resting in valley between her breasts, his eyes impossibly soft. “I love you too, you know.”
She started to say it back, a giggle bubbling in her throat, but Lucien’s mouth clamped over one over sensitive nipple, and nothing felt funny anymore. Desire coursed through her veins, taking over her body just like the day he’d taken her in the garden. She felt needier now, desperate in a way she hadn’t then.
He surged forward again, kissing her hotly, his tongue messy against her own. It was a prelude to what he planned to do between her legs, and she wished he’d stop teasing her and get on with it. She was way too shy to just ask and when he broke the kiss, she whined, pushing his head down her body.
Lucien chuckled darkly, his breath warm on her cool skin. “Say please,” he whispered, rubbing the flesh of her thighs just close enough to the crease of her center without actually touching her. She lifted her hips and wondered if he’d deny her if she didn’t do as he asked.
“Please,” she begged, delighted at the groan that slipped from his throat.
“Embarrassing,” she teased, squirming against his fingers.
“Oh you don’t know the half of it, sweetheart,” Lucien crooned, lowering his mouth to her body. She squealed, delighted by both the nick name and how willing Lucien was to play along. Her thoughts vacated at that first swipe of his tongue, dragging her back to that place of limitless burning heat. She couldn’t take her eyes off him, his hair spread over his broad, muscular shoulders, one hand pressed against her lower abdomen to keep her pinned to the bed. His eyes were closed, the expression on the part of his face she could see utterly lost, as though he were experiencing some form of nirvana just by touching her. She could see his hips grinding against the bed in time with her own and she wished he wasn’t wearing pants. She wanted to see him fully undressed.
She felt electric beneath his touch, building up, up, upbefore she shattered around him with a scream and a fistful of his hair, forcing him to stay clamped between her trembling thighs. He didn’t stop, his tongue sweeping over her in quick, efficient circles until she was sobbing mess. She tugged and he came, his mouth covering hers with an intensity that excited her. She hooked her fingers in the waist of his pants and tugged.
“Impatient,” he tried to tease but the word was more groan. She watched him roll over and stand quickly to shuck off his pants.
“Wait!” She cried, drinking in the hard, naked, muscular body standing in front of her. Lucien shifted his weight from one foot the other other, his cock twitching beneath her gaze.
“Now who is beautiful?” She asked while he crawled back to her.
“Still you,” he promised, kissing her gently. She hesitated when she felt the crown of his cock notch against her entrance.
“Go slow,” she murmured. Though his expression seemed pained, Lucien nodded, his hair creating a curtain between the pair of them. She could pretend they were in their own little world where no one but them existed.
She sighed when he slid that first inch in, her body stretching but not in a painful way. It was pleasant and comfortable and by the time he was fully seated inside her, Elain regretted asking him to go slow. Lucien seemed to be strained above her, his body weight braced on his elbows beside her.
“Are you okay?” He gasped and she nodded, leaning up just enough to kiss him.
“You can move,” she told him with what she hoped was a sweet and not deranged smile. Lucien nodded, sliding himself out too slowly for her liking, grunting as he came back in. She let him for a moment, worried that perhaps he needed to prove to himself he wouldn’t hurt her, before she hooked her legs around him and drove her heels into his ass, forcing him to snap into her hard.
“Oh,” she gasped at the same time he did. “Again.”
Whatever leash Lucien held himself with vanished and Lucien thrust hard, the sound of their flesh meeting punctuating the silence around them. She was building again, writhing beneath him, doubly so when his hand snaked between them to rub quick circles over her already swollen clit. She was panting, begging.
“Harder,” she heard her voice plead, half stunned at the sound. “Don’t stop, Lucien, please.”
Lucien grunted again, sweat dripping down his back. “So fucking wet,” he groaned, the sound more animal than man. “So tight. Fuck, Elain—”
His words were drowned by the sound of her scream, so loud she was sure his entire building heard it. Lucien didn’t stop though the snarl that erupted from his throat made her shudder even as blinding white pleasure stole her last little sense of self. She was an extension of him and he the other half to her. Connected, Elain felt as though life suddenly made sense.
“Again,” Lucien demanded, somehow increasing his speed, pounding into her with an intensity that threatened to drive her mad. She was whimpering, her whole body overly sensitive beneath his hands. She moaned at the feel of one of his hands palming her breast, tweaking her nipples before gliding back to the quivering nub of flesh at her apex. “Again.”
And whatever it was that existed between them, the bond or their connected souls, made her desperately want to please him. She bit her bottom lip so hard she tasted blood, her hips unable to keep up with the pace he’d set, her thighs still trembling from her last release. He didn’t let up, even in the wake of her pleas.
“Please, Lucien. Lucien, Luci—” Her climax was edged with pain, the scream hoarse. Lucien growled with pleasure, pumping once, twice, and then once more before he held himself over her, groaning loudly with his own release. She could hardly catch her breath, her vision spotted, her body utterly wrung out when he collapsed atop her, head buried in the crook of her neck.
“Did I hurt you?” He asked, kissing along her jaw.
“No,” she whispered, her words threatening to turn to hysterical laughter. “You were perfect.”
His teeth tugged along her ear and though she was exhausted, more arousal speared through her.
“Are you hungry?” He asked, withdrawing himself from her body. She frowned, mewling with protest. Lucien merely smiled as he clambered from the bed, padded across the room, and returned with a warm rag to wipe her up with.
Elain propped herself up on her elbows to look at his flagging erection, his beautiful body, his absurdly lovely face. “I love you,” she said, tasting the words as she said them. Lucien beamed, seeming as though he were lit with some inner light only she could see. He tossed the rag back into the bathroom before joining her in the bed again. He dragged the blankets over them, cuddling her into his arms.
She smiled when he kissed the top of her head. “I love you, sweetheart. Are you hungry?”
“Yes,” She admitted, snuggling closer into his chest. “But it can wait.”
“Tell me what you want, Elain.” “You,” she said without hesitation. “With me, all the time.”
His thumb stroked over her cheek. “Consider it done.”

MK-S: Had another thought about the Homura let’s it slip in a sleep-deprived hazed and Oktavia choosing to tell the Kanames on the same day; depending on how you (or anyone else) would want, I can think of a few ways to tweak the ratio of comedy to seriousness;
More comedic: Homura spills the beans, falls asleep, and Madoka has to awkwardly explain everything, and she can’t tell a convincing lie to save her life (Sidenote, I think it’d be funny if she ironically had the best poker face of the Quintet, but only when actually playing poker.) She tells her Mom about magical girls, witches, and then Oktavia. Junko doesn’t believe her, tells her to not lie, knock on the door, Junko sees Oktavia, and Junko apologizes to Madoka, who in turn says she understands. Junko has the 3-5 girls go and spend the night in the guest room, saying “If you’re still real in the morning, I’ll brew a pot of coffee, Tomohisa can make a large batch of eggs, and we can talk about all the magic sci-fi madness then.” Oktavia and co are relieved at this, as it may help them ease into interacting with the Kanames, almost like a nostalgic sleep over.
Middle of the road: Homura spills the beans and passes out. This time the knock on the door occurs before Madoka has been able to run out of poor excuses for why Homura said Sayaka was alive, and why Madoka said “No, no, of course Oktavia passed away.” “…who’s Oktavia? Do you really think we’ll believe you forgot the name of your best friend?” “…would you? Please?” Stuff like that. Then the knock on the door for Oktavia’s arrival. Junko answers and the 3-5 girls are present. Junko invited them in and (after hugging Oktavia and getting over how she’s alive, however long that takes,) she asks if the girls want any coffee; Mami says something like “Oh, you don’t have to do that for us.” But Junko clarifies that she’s making a batch because she needs one, she’s just asking who wants some of it; Either way, a fresh pot is going to be made. For more comedy, Homura could occasionally partially wake up, speak partially correct and partially nonsensical things, and then pass back out again.
More Serious: The knock occurs right as Homura lets it slip about Oktavia being alive. Oktavia and co are let in, and Junko says how Homura just mentioned something about that; Oktavia gets mad at Homura (who’s still awake, exhausted, and not thinking straight) accusing her of deliberately letting her secret slip, or of not being able to keep things secret. This causes something within Homura’s barely functional brain to snap, and could lead to her first reveal of the loops, or just the dark things such as times where the witch Oktavia killed Madoka and Kyoko, how Mami died by Worm or would try to blow their brains out, of how she had tried to warn Sayaka over and over, but she never listened, and of having to mercy kill Madoka. At this point Homura could finally collapse from exhaustion, with Oktavia realizing that Yuma’s not the only one in desperate need of therapy.
(I can also see Homura talking about her loops in the morning in the two non-heavy serious interpretations.) This way it’s still Oktavia’s choice, and also opens some doors on how hard it can be to keep secrets. These were just meant it get ideas rolling and to entertain, so I hope everyone enjoyed them. Have a good day, to one and all!
My personal favourite has to be the middle road, definitely.
(Also on a different note: I previously mentioned it before but Homura mentions the timelooping first when Kyoko shows up at Mami's doorstep with Oktavia, and then first properly spills when they got right of Walpurgis ((whether thats theough domestication or death doesnt matter)), which over the years she talks more and more about, even the bad bad stuff.)

The Scars You Hide
Masterlist
We Meet Again | Next
Summary: After your meeting with Bakugou, you get an unexpected call to meet with someone else from your past. Is it possible to mend a relationship you weren’t sure was even there?
“Hey Mina, does Bakugou ever talk about me?” You asked, skimming through the clothing rack next to her with that wide smile you always seemed to have.
Her hands were filled with clothing items, and at your question she seemed to almost drop them. Her pink skin seemed to pale slightly as you watched a small sweat begin to breakout on your face, and in your heart you knew the truth. You couldn’t help but let your smile drop ever so slightly, but you gave a light laugh to calm her down and bring the mood back up.
“It’s okay, I know he probably doesn’t talk about me. . It was just worth a shot to ask.” You giggle falsely, feeling not a trace of humor in the feeling you got in the pit of your stomach. “Let’s go pay, my treat!” You repeated the words you said every time you went out with any one of your friends, the return for spending some time with you.
It was weird with Mina though, whenever you offered to pay it looked like she was conflicted. Her yellow eyes would soften like you spilled some said truth, but you never questioned it. That look scared you with the fear that she might be tired of you, so you’d ignore it for as long as you could. . .
“Ryu, how many times do I have to tell you not to use your quirk in the house!” You yelled to what seemed like thin air as your son clapped once again with another crayon in his hand.
When his little hands met, a small explosion went off that burned the crayon to ash and he sheepishly looked up at you from his spot next to the coffee table. Ryu was so much like his father that it bewildered you, he managed to be a carbon copy of someone he never even met. Not only did he steal most of Katsuki’s physical genetics, he acted nearly identical and had a variation of his quirk. You wondered if being quirkless was the reason all your genes seemed to fail to make the cut, but how could you be mad at that when you loved everything about the blonde little boy?
It would have been nice if he had a little less of Katsuki’s temper, though.
“Honestly, it’s like you want to see me go gray early,” you huffed and continued on your way to the laundry room with your basket full of clothes.
Seven years ago, doing laundry would have been a funny joke to you. There were maids that were perfectly capable and paid to do it for you, so there was virtually no point in learning. The only time you lifted a finger was for makeup and eating, that’s how your father preferred you to live. It was a big contrast to now, where you stood in leggings and an oversized band t-shirt doing every bit of the cleaning and laundry, for not only yourself, but also the six year old son that was never in the plans for your future. In fact, no part of the life you created for yourself was apart of the original plan.
Your phone rang as you finished putting in your first load into the washer, and you answered it without looking, propping the phone between your shoulder and your ear as you put on the proper settings. The unfamiliar voice you heard nearly made you jump since only a handful of people had your number.
“Hey,” the woman said with uncertainty clear in her tone.
“Hello. Who is this?” You asked straight to the point, still continuing your chores as you went from the laundry room to the living room where Ryu was now coloring peacefully and began picking up his mid placed toys.
“Oh it’s Mina. . Sorry for calling you out of the blue, but I was just wondering if you’d like to talk?”
You froze in place, immediately going into mental hyperdrive over all the things she could want to talk about, but none of them seemed reasonable. Neither of you had any contact after Katsuki told you the truth about everyone, you completely went off the grid and she went on with her life like everyone. It would make sense to come up with a bullshit excuse to get out of it. . . but then again it would be much easier to clean with someone entertaining Ryu.
“I’ll send you my address, we can talk here.”
“So. . he really is Bakugou’s kid.” Mina sweat dropped as you both watched him stand on top of the couch with two hero action figures in hand, one of them being Bakugou, yelling nonsense about how he can’t be beaten.
“HAHA! Not even Dynamight and Ignenium can stop this villain, but I will be victorious!”
‘Honestly, that whole strive for victory mindset could be Katsuki or my dad’s genetics.’
“Carbon copy with some tweaks,” you shrugged and continued on your way to your bedroom with your basket full of laundry.
Mina followed you through your small — but well decorated due to your mother — home looking as troubled as she was hesitant as she always did around you. It still bothered you like when you were just a dumb rich girl, and you were must less keen on ignoring it to keep the peace. You were strangers now, after all, not friends due to business.
“So,” you started as you dropped the basket on the ground in front of your queen with a loud ‘plop’. “I know you didn’t come here to just get a peek at the bastard child of your friend, and you certainly aren’t here to rekindle our fake friendship, Ashido. . Spill it.”
You stared at her with accusation, stance showing that this easily could shift from a friendly encounter to a hostile environment depending on her next choice of words. Mina was a hero now, she most definitely could tell that this wasn’t the time to play pretend and get straight to the point like she would in the face of a real villain. She may be more of a commercial hero, enjoying the occasional spotlight and taking down many villains for a camera, but you remember that she looked death in the face the moment she got on the hero track.
The atmosphere in the room became tense as Mina was taken back by your commanding attitude, one that showed that what she suspected about you was true; this wasn’t the same Y/N she met as a kid. Your eyes were colder, uninviting and daring her to take a step too close into your world. Your posture even deterred her from thinking she was anything more than a stranger you invited into your home. Everything about the way you acted was a clear indication that the worst case scenario she had thought of after you contacted her had most likely come to fruition.
“What. . happened to you, Y/N?” Mina asked hesitantly, and you blinked at the question with your arms unconsciously reaching for your right side, something that didn’t go unnoticed by Mina.
After a moment of silence you explained, “I had him. My father didn’t like that. . and he told me not to go through with it, that it would be a shameful mistake. When I refused, he kicked me out onto the streets saying I wasn’t his daughter. I had nothing and no one, my pregnancy was high risk, and I had just been told that everything I knew wasn’t real, but we made it just fine.”
The answer was so vague beyond being disowned that it didn’t take a genius to figure out what happened between being on the street and now wasn't something you’d be willing to tell just anybody. Especially not the girl who was only her friend in hopes of getting an up on life in her future. The fact that you told her that much was a privilege she should never expect to receive again. Mina could only frown and think of how lost and heartbroken you must have been, all because she couldn’t bring herself to stand without the herd and tell you the truth. You probably didn’t trust anyone now, and the fact that Katsuki probably thought you were living an easy life on your father’s money didn’t sit right with her when you did everything for yourself now, and obviously lived a modest life with his son.
This was her chance to redeem herself for her first failure as a hero, and she wouldn’t make the same mistake twice.
Mina looked you dead in the eyes with determination that you’d never seen before and said, “I want to help you take care of Ryu.”
Your brows furrowed at her declaration, “I don’t need help-“
“You do, and I’m going to be here for you. I don’t care if you hate me now, but I’m going to make it up to you for being selfish.” Mina pressed, her bouncy pink hair jumping as she bounded closer to you with a grin that used to always make a smile come on your own face. Her smile widened and her eyes closed as she made her words sink in with you. “I want to get to know the real you, Y/N, and I’m not going to miss the opportunity of seeing how you managed to keep a little Bakugou alive.”
You didn’t know what to say, no words were good enough to express every emotion she made you feel after six years of doing everything on your own. There probably weren't any words that could sum up the feeling of someone wanting to see who you really were after being someone else your whole life. You werent fully convinced — you couldn’t be, this not only affected you, but your son too — but there was a simple statement that would let her know that this meant something.
“Thank you.”
A/N: I hope you like this Mina x reader moment! I know there wasn’t much Bakugou and Ryu action, but more to come soon. Also, Ryu’s quirk is explosions that are activated by contact with his hands, meaning that he has to touch something to let out an explosion unlike Katsuki who can just let them rip at any time!

Chain Reaction {Kurapika and Leorio}
Tumblr media
A/N: oughh these were both cute but i decided to go with Kurapika and Leorio because i adore them, i love how Leorio is like a dad to basically the whole group, but I especially like how sweet he is with Kurapika hehe. I must warn you this might be ooc since its my first time writing for hxh and i’m still only on episode 20 or so whoops. Still hope you like it!
Summary: Kurapika has been preparing a new trick, but when trying to show it to Leorio, things go a bit haywire.
Word Count: 1.1k (under the cut)
“Leorio, I need to show you something,” Kurapika said, sounding eager as he tapped Leorio’s shoulder, who was sitting at the table working on something.
Leorio turned in the chair, looking at the shorter blonde boy as he smiled.
“Sure, what’s up?”
Kurapika grinned. He had been working on a new way to use his chains, a way without Nen. It wasn’t perfect yet, and he was still making a few mistakes, but he felt confident enough to share it with Leorio.
He took a few steps back from Leorio, raising his hands. His chains slowly swirled around him, almost like a carousel as he focused, straining a bit.
“That’s really cool Kurapika!” Leorio said encouragingly, and Kurapika grinned, his confidence growing.
“You haven’t seen anything yet,” He said, almost cockily as the chains changed directions, Leorio watching enthusiastically from where he sat. He made a funny face, one that suddenly caught Kurapika’s attention. Leorio sneezed, the loud noise breaking Kurapika’s attention as his chains whipped around out of his control. Kurapika let out a sharp cry, tripping backwards over his own feet as his chains wrapped around him.
Leorio gasped, quickly jumping out of his chair and rushing over to Kurapika. Kurapika struggled, trying to get out of the chains, but only managing to free one of his arms, which didn’t do him much good.
“Kurapika! Are you okay?”
“I-I’m fine, just a bit embarrassed now. Sorry, I meant for my trick to be cooler…”
Leorio shook his head, kneeling down next to Kurapika and immediately reaching over, grabbing onto the chains.
“Don’t apologize, kiddo. Let me help you out of these,” Leorio said, and Kurapika smiled. It was always nice to have Leorio around, he was like a father to him and his other friends, Gon and Killua. 
Kurapika winced when Leorio grabbed at a chain near his hip, Leorio quickly noticed and pulled his hands back, looking at Kurapika with worry on his face.
“Did I hurt you?” He asked, and Kurapika shook his head, his face heating up slightly from embarrassment.
“No, it just - it tickled…”
Leorio raised an eyebrow, Kurapika quickly averting his gaze to avoid further embarrassment, which also led him to missing the grin from Leorio.
“Alright then,” Leorio said, a lilt in his voice that he couldn’t hide. Leorio went back to untangling Kurapika, though he slipped in a few “accidental” pokes that made Kurapika flinch. 
“Leorio!” He whined, “Stop messing around and get me out of these!”
“Oh? I don’t think you realize the situation you’re in, Kurapika~”
Kurapika looked at Leorio with wide eyes, shaking his head as he giggled nervously. Leorio only chuckled, Kurapika already attempting to roll away before Leorio grabbed him, digging into his sides as Kurapika squawked immediately and uncharacteristically, though still managed to hold back his laughter.
“L-Leorio! Quit it! J-Just get me out of this!”
“Heh, you’re awfully cocky for someone who’s so ticklish you know,” Leorio teased, tickling his sides gently as Kurapika bit his lip, trying to keep himself from so much as giggling. Leorio raised an eyebrow, chuckling amusedly.
“I wonder how long you can go without laughing?” He proposed, almost as a challenge as Kurapika whined, a giggle slipping through when Leorio moved to his waist. Leorio tutted and Kurapika’s face started to go red from all the laughter he was withholding.
“I… was joking, Kurapika. You can laugh, you might explode otherwise.”
Kurapika shook his head, still refusing to laugh. Leorio rolled his eyes at the younger ones antics, figuring it was more funny than anything as he kept up the work on his waist, reaching down and tweaking his hip experimentally.
Kurapika jolted, looking up at Leorio fearfully, who flashed him a mere grin before digging in, making Kurapika instantly burst into laughter.
“Leheheorio! Wahahait!”
“Why wait? Not like you’re getting out of this anytime soon,” Leorio chuckled, Kurapika swatting at him with his one free hand, too busy to care about getting out of the chains now. Leorio dug his fingers gently into Kurapika’s hips, slowly climbing up to his ribs as Kurapika squealed, trying to wriggle away but only managing to tangle himself up more.
“Careful now, keep wiggling and I might not be able to get you out. I’m trying to help you, y’know!”
“Nohohot h-hehelping!” Kurapika wailed, his free arm flailing and whacking Leorio, though not hard enough to hurt. Leorio hummed, now scribbling his fingers over Kurapika’s exposed tummy, making Kurapika jolt.
He flopped around, trying to roll away again, Leorio quickly adjusting him as Kurapika cackled. He struggled in his chains, trying both to get away from Leorio’s tickly fingers and also to try and free himself. 
Leorio laughed with Kurapika as he tickled the poor boy, who flopped around like a fish out of water, his blonde hair all over his face as he tried to wriggle away. Leorio went back to Kurapika’s ribs, now his upper ribs.
Kurapika panicked, feeling Leorio get closer to one of his worst spots as he kicked his legs as much as he could in the chains, Leorio’s hands slowly creeping upwards…
Kurapika shrieked when Leorio finally dug under his arms, scribbling his fingers in the hollows as Kurapika arched his back, laughing loudly and rather undignified compared to his normally composed nature.
“LEheheorio!! Not thehehere!” Kurapika cried out, squirming from side to side as Leorio whistled, continuing to tease the sensitive hollows as Kurapika flopped, clamping his already trapped arms harder against his sides to try and nullify the sensations, only managing to trap Leorio’s hands.
“Not where? Not here? Why not?”
“Behehehecause! I-It’s bahad!”
Leorio hummed, pulling his hands out from under Kurapika’s arms. Kurapika panted heavily as Leorio chuckled at him.
“Had enough?”
Kurapika nodded quickly, and Leorio laughed. He finally helped Kurapika get untangled from his chains, minding how he grabbed the chains so he wouldn’t accidentally tickle him again. Finally, Kurapika was freed, and he immediately stretched, glad to be free.
He squeaked when Leorio poked his side as he stretched, retracting his hand quickly as he chuckled.
“Couldn’t help it.”
“You sure could’ve,” Kurapika huffed, though there was a small grin on his face that Leorio didn’t miss. He went back to his chair, turning it so it was facing Kurapika as he sat down.
“Well? Are you gonna show me the trick for real this time? I won’t sneeze, I promise.” Leorio said, and Kurapika raised and eyebrow. “Or tickle you.”
Kurapika smiled, going back to his position at the start of the trick with a grin.
“Watch this.”

Heyyyyy baby! Okay, I don't know if I'm the only one who's experienced this but did it ever happen to you that you're really good friends with someone in a platonic way and then one night you have a dream about them and you just wake up with this weird crush? Making you notice things about them? Maybe you could do a Tom x Co-star reader oneshot based on this? I'd want reader to be working on Spiderman then we could explore her relationship with the rest of the cast. But that's up to you. ;*

“Don’t be scared. I got you.” A smirk lit up Peters face before he slipped his mask on as you peered off the ledge hesitantly.
“What if I fall?” You chewed your bottom lip.
“Don’t worry about that, pretty girl.” He said softly as he held your chin between his thumb and pointer finger. “I’m always gonna be here to catch you.”
“Okay.” You agreed, and Peters pumped his fist in the air.
“You might wanna hold me a little tighter.” The eyes of his mask widened in excitement as he wrapped his arm around your waist. “For safety reasons, of course.” He added timidly.
You rolled your eyes at him but complied. You wrapped both arms around his neck and fit yourself as close against his body as you could.
“You ready?” He asked you and you nodded.
“You’re gonna love this.” He said excitedly and stepped off the building. You began to fall freely until and a scream ripped through your throat. Peter shot a web at a nearby building and you were suddenly lit flying upwards, wind rushing in your ears.
“Don’t let me go!” You squealed and tucked your face into Peters neck.
“I won’t.” He laughed in delight as he swung towards another building. Sensing your fear by how tightly you were clutching him, he decided to land. He swung towards a building and landed gracefully on the rooftop. You still held him tightly and he let out a chuckle.
“You can let go now.” He said shyly, not that he wanted you to. You slowly slid your arms down and opened your eyes.
“How was that?” Peter asked you as he removed his mask. He noticed the look on your face and worried that he had upset you. “Did you not like it? We don’t have to do it again.” He said apologetically. You flung your arms around Peters neck and pressed a kiss to his lips. When Peter recovered from the surprise, he kissed you back and let his hands rest on your hips.
“I love you.” You mumbled against his lips when you pulled away. The corner of his mouth tweaked up in a half baked smile. “I’ve felt it for a while. I don’t feel scared when I’m with you. I feel like I can do anything. Isn’t that love?”
“I think it is.” He nodded, eyes full of hope.
“Then why are you just standing there?” You asked him and he made a face that showed he didn’t understand. “Kiss me.”
The moment your lips touched Peters, your eyes fluttered open and you found yourself staring at the ceiling of your trailer. Your heart was beating out of your chest as you sat up in bed. Even though it was just a dream, you felt a sinking feeling in your stomach that it was over. You felt oddly disappointed, and a little dazed. You had hours upon hours worth of fittings and rehearsal to look forward to that day, but there was only thing on your mind: Had Peter Parker always been that cute?
You’d seen Tom in his Spider-Man suit a million times since filming began, but the thought of him in that red and blue was making your heart skip a beat that morning. You rushed out of bed to get dressed, suddenly feeling eager to see him. You threw on a dress he had complimented once before and smiled at your appearance before something dawned on you.
“Oh shit.” You whispered.
You now had a crush on Tom Holland.
You sped walked out of your trailer on high alert. You spotted Zendaya by the makeup trailer and waved her over.
“DAYA!” You shouted. “Daya come here.”
“What’s wrong girlie? You look like you’ve had a fun morning.” She folded her arms and laughed at the panicked look in your eyes.
“You know when you have one of those dreams that make you wake up with a crush on a person you thought you could never have a crush on?” You asked her quietly and she raised her eyebrows.
“Oh shit. Are you asking me out?” She teased you and you clenched your jaw.
“No, Daya. It wasn’t you.” You looked around for anyone who might be listening and quieted your voice. “It was Tom. Well, it was Peter. But now I think I like Tom.”
“Everyone knows that.” She shrugged you off and you scoffed.
“No, everyone speculates that.” You corrected her and she pursed her lips. “I honestly never had feelings for him until now. How am I supposed to act around him?” You whispered harshly.
“Just act like you always do.” She said and you groaned. You ran your fingers through your hair and tugged it.
“I can’t even remember how I used to act. All I can think of is that damn suit.” You folded your arms and blew out a breath. Zendaya looked you up and down and cocked her head.
“Damn, girl. What kind of dream was this?” She raised an eyebrow and you shoved her playfully.
“It wasn’t like that. It was romantic. I kissed him.” You insisted and she nodded skeptically.
“How did the kiss feel?” She interrogated you.
“I mean, I left my earthly body and saw the time knife but that’s it. It wasn’t anything special.” You dismissed it and Zendaya let out a laugh.
“So mediocre then?” She asked sarcastically. “Just talk to him. It’s the only way to tell if these feelings are real or just from your dream.”
“What do I say?” You asked desperately.
“I can’t think of everything. You need to take it from here.” Zendaya told you and you nodded reluctantly.
“You’re right. I’ll talk to him.” You squeezed her arm and walked away. You only got a few paces before you ran into a lady from the props department.
“Hey, Y/n.” She greeted you. “Could you take this to props please?”
“Oh, sure.” You smiled at her and took the fake knife she was holding. You kept walking and tried to think of a plan for what you were going to say to Tom.
“Hey there Juliet.” Jacob nodded at you. You stopped in your tracks so hard that your shoes skidded.
“Juliet? What have you heard?” You held the fake knife up to his throat and he held up his hands in defense.
“Woah there ku’uipo. Relax.” He chuckled and you lowered your knife. “I was just referring to the knife. You know how those crazy kids killed each other in old England.”
“Romeo and Juliet takes place in Verona.” You said and Jacob made a face like he didn’t understand.
“It’s in Italy. And they killed themselves.” You corrected again. “Why are we talking about this?”
“You’re right. What we should be talking about is what you think I heard.” Jacob smirked. Knowing Jacob wouldn’t drop the subject, you confessed.
“Have you ever had one of those dreams that makes you wake up with a crush on someone?” You whispered and he nodded.
“Yeah. I had one just last week and now I’m in love with Jake Gyllenhaal.” He said seriously and you glared at him. “Why, have you ever you ever had one of those dreams?”
“No.” You said quickly.
“Then why did you ask?” He challenged you.
“Ask what?” You played dumb.
“I…I don’t remember.” He blanked.
“You asked me if you could bring this knife back to props. And I said yes.” You lied and handed him the knife.
“Okay.” He shrugged and began to walk towards the props department. Jacob turned around again with a cheeky smile on his face.
“Tom.” He stated, and your heart stopped.
“What?” You faked a laugh.
“You dreamt about Tom.” He said, sure of himself this time.
“What? No.” You tried to lie but saw no use. “How did you know that?”
“Hawaiian intuition.” He tapped his head twice.
“That’s not a thing.” You accused him.
“Oh yeah? Then how did I know you’re crushing on Tom?” He asked you with a knowing smirk.
“I think Props is really missing that knife.” You tried to get out of the situation by sending him away.
“Alright. See you around, Juliet.” He saluted you with the knife and walked away. You swallowed thickly and soon as you turned around, you were met with Tom smiling face.
“Hey Y/n!” He greeted and you jumped back.
“Christ on a bike, Tom. You scared me.” You clutched your hand over your heart.
“Sorry, love.” He laughed softly, making your knees weaken beneath you. “Why was Jacob carrying a knife?”
“It was a prop knife. You could find it at a dollar store. It’d probably be more than a dollar, though. My guess is $3.99. Are you excited for the holidays? I am.” You rambled and Tom tilted his head in confusion.
“Are you okay?” He chuckled, taking a step closer to you and stuffing his hands in his pockets.
“Are you kidding? I’m fine. It’s almost crazy how fine I am. How are you? Are you parents doing okay? They were so nice to me last time I saw them.” You said through a smile and Tom snorted.
“Yeah, you are pretty fine.” Tom commented and you gulped loudly.
“God in Heaven.” You said in a straggled voice and looked up at the sky.
“I’m sorry, Y/n. I didn’t mean to offend you.” Tom said, thinking he offended you. “I just meant that I think you’re pretty. I’m sorry if that was inappropriate.”
“No, no, no.” You stammered and he relaxed. “Totally appropriate. Don’t even worry about it. I don’t even remember it. What were we talking about again?”
“That I think you’re pretty.” He played along and you pretended to remember.
“Were we? That’s crazy. You’re a crazy guy, Holland. One crazy son of a gun. But I uh, I think you’re pretty too.” You said quietly as you looked down at your shoes.
“Hey uh, did you hear about the crazy actress who killed her costar?” You asked suddenly and he furrowed his brows.
“No, oh my God. Who?” He wondered.
“Reese.” You nodded and looked past him.
“Witherspoon?” He asked in shock.
“No. With her knife.” You gave the punchline and grimaced. “I’m so sorry. That was a bad joke.”
“I thought it was funny. I always think you’re funny.” He smiled. Your breath hitched in your throat at his gaze. You’d never noticed how pretty his eyes were, or the little flecks of gold embedded in them.
“I , well, you — but you know, it’s just — I didn’t even uh, it was just a joke so, you know.” You stammered.
“Are you sure you’re okay?” He asked you and you felt your palms beginning to sweat.
“Never been better, Peter.” You gave him a thumbs up, not realizing your slip up.
“Peter?” He repeated and your face fell.
“I didn’t say Peter.” You said quickly, eyes shifting to the left.
“I’m pretty sure you did.” He looked you up and down, wondering why you were acting so funny around him today. His stare only made you worse.
“Really? That’s funny, you must be hearing things. Hold on a minute, COMING DAYA.” You yelled behind you as if you were being called.
“I didn’t hear Zendaya calling you.” Tom said skeptically, beginning to think you didn’t want to talk to him.
“Wow Tom, you better get your ears checked. They are all out of wack, my man.” You laughed nervously as you began to back away. “I gotta go help Daya with something but I’ll catch you later.”
“Okay. Have fun.” Not too much fun, though.” He joked and you pointed finger guns at him, immediately killing you inside.
“Fank yew! It’ll be an alright time, it will.” You shouted in a cockney accent. You shut your eyes and covered your face with your hand. “I’m so sorry. I regret that so much. Can you please forget I just did that?” You pleaded with him.
“Might be a little hard to forget, love. I think it seared itself into my frontal lobe.” He tapped the side of his head and smiled at you. You gave him a big smile and hurried away. You stormed all the way to Zendaya’s trailer and shut the door behind you.
“I cannot believe that just happened.” You whined and covered your face with your hands.
“Woah there. Why are you all red?” Zendaya put down her script and laughed at your appearance.
“Because Tom just tried to talk to me and I forgot how to person.” You yelled in frustration, only making her laugh harder.
“I’m sure it was fine. It’s just Tom.” She insisted in dismissal.
“Exactly!” You exclaimed. “It’s just Tom. So how come when he looked at me, my brain told me to go EFF myself and put on a Nikki Minaj song.”
“Oof. That bad, huh? What song?” She asked you, amused with your embarrassment.
“Super Bass.” You half smiled. “The whole time Tom is talking to me I hear “this one is for the boys with the booming system. Top down, AC with the cooler system.” I couldn’t even think straight!” You whined.
“You’ve been friends with Tom for years.” She pointed out. “What happened?”
“It was that stupid dream! I had a dream we were in love and now I’m whipped. Whipped like…” You trailed off when you couldn’t think of the right word.
“Whip cream?” She raised an eyebrow and you glared at her.
“Shut up. I feel ridiculous.” You sighed and took a seat on her bed. You rested your head on her shoulder and she rubbed your back.
“I’m sure he didn’t think you were ridiculous.” She said quietly. “And look on the bright side.”
“Which is?” You asked her as you plopped down in her swivel chair.
“There are worse people you could be crushing on. Tom is a really great guy. He ill, he real, he might gotta deal. He pop bottles and he got the right kind of build.” She said in a serious tone.
“The way I’m about to shadow kick you right now.” You said gravely as you looked up at the ceiling.
“I’m serious. He’s one of your best friends right? What’s so bad about him being your boyfriend?” She nudged you gently and you sighed.
“There’s nothing bad about it. But what if that’s not what he wants?” You asked quietly as you played with your fingers.
“Take a look at yourself in the mirror, model.” Zendaya spun your chair around to face the mirror as she tucked some of your hair behind your ear. “Of course that’s what he wants.”
“You better be right.” You looked at her in the mirror and she smiled at you.
“I am. Now come on. We have rehearsal on the Crown Jewels set.” She held you up out of the chair.
“I’ll meet you there in a second. I have to grab my script.” You told her before leaving her trailer. You went back to your trailer as she went to set.
~
“Is this mace real?” Jake asked as he weighed it in his hands as the rest of the cast went over their scripts.
“You really think they’d give us a real mace? Especially with you on set, Donnie Darko?” Jacob teased him and Jake began to play with the mace like it were a sword.
“Do they even make maces anymore?” Zendaya wondered, backing away from Jake a little as his swings gained momentum.
“Who’s they?” Jacob laughed.
“The blacksmithes.” Jake said seriously before we went back to moving his mace.
“Yeah, Jacob. Don’t you know about the blacksmiths?” Zendaya asked sarcastically, making a face at him.
“This thing is kinda heavy, though. Makes me want to swing it around and take down the leader of the Huns or something.” Jake realized as he began to swing his arm in a circle.
“Jake, put the prop down.” Jacob laughed nervously as Jake got a little too close with the mace.
“I physically cannot put it down. It’s in control now.” Jake insisted as he swung it around even harder.
“How are you the oldest and most childish person here?” Zendaya asked as she hide behind a suit of armor for protection.
“I feel so free.” Jake smiled wildly. “Is this how the vikings felt?”
“How would anyone here know that?” Zendaya sassed.
“And why do you want to know how the Vikings felt?” Jacob added.
“Hey guys.” You greeted the room happily only to get smacked in the mouth with the mace upon arrival. You collapsed to the floor and felt warm blood trickling down your face.
“Y/n! I am so sorry!” Jake covered his mouth with his hand when he realized what he had done. He bent down beside you and sent the mace down.
“Jesus? Is that you?” You asked groggily as you looked up at Jake.
“Yes. Jesus accidentally hit you in the mouth with a mace. But Jesus was just trying to feel like a Viking. Do you forgive Jesus?” Jake as he he picked your head up a little and let it rest on his hand to keep you elevated.
“Yes?” You asked in confusion as the corners of your vision began to blacken.
“She’s okay guys!” Jake called to Zendaya and Jacob. “But can we get a medic?”
Zendaya rushed out of the room to get a medic right as Tom entered it. He took one look at you on the floor and bloody and dropped to his knees.
“What the hell happened here?” Tom snapped as he took your hand. He dabbed some of the blood off your chin with his sleeve and saw a large cut on your mouth. He looked up at Jake for answers and Jake looked very sheepish.
“Someone hit Y/n with a mace.” He said quietly.
“Hm. Could it be the man holding the mace?” Tom asked in sarcastic anger as he pointed to the mace. He turned his attention back to you and slowly helped you sit up. He held you against his chest and tried to get the hair unstuck from your face.
“Jesus hit me.” You whined and Tom looked at Jake with a raging anger.
“You hit her? I’ll kill you.” He tried to move towards Jake but you patted his chest.
“Jesus hit me accidentally.” You added, and Tom calm down.
“Are you okay, darling?” Tom asked, switching to his most gentle tone. He pulled a pack of tissues out of his pocket and held it against your mouth to slow the bleeding.
“I’m all dandelions and fruit cups down here, handsome.” You giggled, vision still swirling.
“She’s losing consciousness. Where is the medic?” Tom growled and look towards the door right as a woman in white came in.
“Right here. Move aside, please.” The medic ordered. Tom reluctantly laid you down on the ground and backed away to give you space.
“Pickle side, pickle side.” You laughed to yourself and moved your hands like you were conducting. The medic transferred you to a gurney and began to roll you towards the door.
“Where are you taking her?” Tom asked as he followed them.
“We’re gonna take her to the closest hospital. It looks like she needs stitches.” The medic told him and his heart sank.
“I love that song.” You mumbled and began to hum Stitches.
“Can I come?” Tom pleaded as he helped push the gurney along.
“Are you family?” The medic asked him.
“Yes.” He said quickly but she didn’t look convinced. “No. Please. I need to be there when she wakes up.”
“Fine. Get in the back of the ambulance.” The medic nodded towards the ambulance and Tom climbed inside. He waited until you were loaded in and took your hand in his.
“This is just like Grey’s Anatomy.” You smiled a little, then stopped when it hurt. “Nobody knows where we might end up. Nobody knows.” You sang to yourself.
“Thats right, Y/n. Just hang tight, sweetness. It’s gonna be okay. We’re almost there.” Tom said soothingly as he stroked your hair. You smiled at him softly before you fell unconscious.
“We’re almost there. Just hang tight.” Peter looked over at you, taking your hand in his to kiss the back of it.
“Is she gonna like me?” You asked him, hoping for an honest answer.
“Sweetheart, May is going to beg you to move in before dinner ends.” Peter chuckled. “She’s gonna love you.”
“How do you know?” You worried, trying to distract yourself by looking out the window.
“Because I love you. And I’m her kin.” Peter shrugged and you snapped your attention to him.
“That’s the first time you ever told me that.” You smiled softly at him as the streetlight lit up his profile.
“Is it?” He raised his eyebrows to play along. “I didn’t know.”
“Pull over.” You pulled your bottom lip between your teeth.
“What?” He laughed, his smile fading when he saw that you were serious.
“Pull over.” You repeated. Peter obliged and pulled over as soon as he could.
“Is there something you needed?” He asked you with a coy smile.
You smirked at Peter before unbuckling your seatbelt. You leaned across the gear and pulled him into a long kiss.
“I love you too.” You told him, and kissed him again.
“Love? You awake?” Toms voice pulled you out of your dream. Your eyes fluttered open and you looked over to where his voice was. He was sitting in a hospital chair, pulled right up to your bed. “How you feeling?”
“Like I got hit with a mace.” You tried to sit up and he immediately went to your side to help you. You gave him a grateful smile and rubbed your eyes.
“Yeah, I figured. Jake said he’s really sorry. He’s been calling me every five minutes to see if you’ve woken up.“ Tom smiled softly and touched your cheek. He kept his touch light, not wanting to hurt you.
“Thanks, Peter.” You leaned into his touch and rubbed his wrist lightly with your thumb.
“Back to the Peter thing, huh?” He laughed softly. “They told me they got you on some crazy pain killer that was gonna make you loopy.”
“You wanna know something?” You raised your eyebrows suggestively.
“Tell me, darling.” He took a seat on your bed and gave you his full attention. You walked your fingers up his arm and drew patterns on his shoulder with your fingernails.
“I’ve been dreaming about us.” You told him, something you’d never admit if you weren’t on the medicine.
“Have you?” He raised his eyebrows. “What are you dreaming about us doing?”
“You’re mine.” You leaned into him with a sleepy smile. “And I’m yours.”
“You’ve been dreaming about us being together? Like as a couple?” He asked for confirmation and you nodded.
“Uh huh. And then I wake up and I’m sad.” You pouted and stuck out your bottom lip.
“Why are you sad?” He asked quietly, his heart beginning to speed up. You looked up at him through your eyelashes and gave a sad smile.
“Because it was just a dream.” You told him. Tom let out a shaky breath and tried to process what you were saying.
“Are you saying your want us to be together?” He tilted your chin up so he could see your reaction. He knew you were high on medicine and probably had no idea what you were saying, but a part of him hoped you were telling the truth.
You leaned in with a dopey smile and pressed your nose against Toms.
“You’re the boy of my dreams, Peter.” You cooed and he pulled his face away in annoyance.
“Right.” He sighed and looked away. “Peter.”
“Are you mad at me?” You worried when you noticed his reaction. Even with the medicine compromising your mentality, you could tell he was angry.
“No. No darling, I’m not mad. Not at you.” He mumbled, avoiding your gaze.
“Come here.” You pulled at his shirt and he cradled a smile. “I want to be close to you.”
“Okay.” He obliged and scooted closer. You shut your eyes and rested your head against his forehead.
“Can I ask you something?” You whispered, and he could’ve sworn you were sober for a moment.
“Anything.” He nodded against your head.
“Can you hear my thoughts?” You asked seriously and Toms face fell in disappointment.
“No. No I can’t hear your thoughts.” He told you and pulled away.
“Good.” You cupped his chin and turned his face back to you. “Because they’re all about you.”
You let your thumb slowly drag down his lip, laughing a little at the sound it made when you let go. Toms throat tightened at your action and he gulped.
“You’re so pretty.” You smiled as your eyes trailed down his face.
“You’re pretty too.” His lips tugged into a grin.
“Peter.” You whined as you pushed him away.
“What?” He asked, confused with your mood change.
“You’re giving me butterflies.” You said timidly as you played with the edge of your hospital gown. “But I like someone else. I can’t like you too.”
“You like someone?” His face paled. “Do I know him?”
“Yeah. He’s like a really, really good friend of yours.” You blew out a breath.
“Is it someone on set?” He questioned you.
“Maybe.” You said in a sing song voice and shrugged.
“Who?” He asked, getting more worked up by the minute.
“I like Tom.” You whispered loudly and Toms eyes widened.
“What?” He whispered back.
“Shhhh, Peter.” You pinched his lips between your fingers. “You can’t tell Tom that I like him.”
“I think he might already know.” Tom said when he pulled your hand away from his face.
“What?” You panicked. “Who told him?”
“Whew, I don’t know.” Tom played along. “I think Zendaya did.”
“Daya? No. She swore she wouldn’t. It must’ve been Jacob.” You hit your fist against the bed.
“You told Jacob before me?” Tom exclaimed.
“I didn’t tell him. It was his Hawaiian intuition.” You tapped the side of your head twice.
“His what?” Tom tilted his head to the side.
“I have to go to sleep now, Peter. I can’t talk about this right now.” You waved your hand and pulled the sheets over your lap.
“You’re gonna tell me that you like me and then go straight to sleep?” He whined. 
“I don’t like you, Peter. I like Tom.” You corrected him. “I like Tom and his curly hair and his brown eyes and his cute ass nose. God, what a nose. And I like his accent and his smile and his ambition and FUCK, his nose.”
“You mentioned that already.” He chuckled shyly.
“I did?” You sat up slightly and shrugged. “Because I love it. I love it all. And if you’ll excuse me, I needs my sleeps.” Tom sat back in his chair and sighed, knowing he wouldn’t be getting any real answers until you woke up.
~
“Good morning.” You said weakly as you reached for the ice pack next to your bed. You held it against your cheek and sighed in relief.
“Hi sunshine.” Tom smiled softly. “Are you feeling any better?”
“Yeah. I don’t feel like someone put my brain through a pasta maker anymore.” You said as you rubbed your eyes.
“Aw. How about your mouth?” He questioned. 
You gave him a weak smile until it hurt and returned the ice pack to your face.
“There she is.” He smiled back. “You may want to keep the smiling to a minimum until those stitches heal.”
“That wont be a problem.” You groaned in misery and leaned against his body. He hesitantly brought his hands to your head and stroked your hair.
“Hey, can we talk about before? About what you told me?” He asked softly as he combed the tangles out of your hair.
“Tom, if you think I remember a single thing since this morning…” You shook your head as you trailed off.
“You told me that you liked me.” He got straight to the point. “Or, you told Peter that you liked me. But I heard, o-obviously.”
“Oh God.” You buried your face in your hands to hide your shame.
“Jacob knows, Zendaya knows. You told everyone but me.” He said softly. You began to panic now that he knew. Even if he was cool about it, it’d never be the same between the two of you.
“Sorry, no.” You blurted, back to forgetting how to act around Tom.
“Sorry, yes. You told me a few hours ago, love.”
You turned away from him in shame and squeezed your eyes shut, wishing you were anywhere but in that hospital bed.
“I’m sorry if that creeps you out. I guess I don’t really have control over the fact that you’re…” You trailer off with a loss of words.
“The boy of your dreams?” He humored you and you huffed out a breath.
“Leave me alone.” You groaned and put your head back in your hands. Tom gestured for you to scoot over so he could take a seat beside you, and you did.
“You know, those stitches come out in a week.” He brought you and you looked at him quizzically.
“And?” You asked, unsure of his point. Tom took your chin between his fingers and placed a kiss on the corner of your mouth. Your entire body froze as he pulled away and gave you a half cocked smile.
“Find me in a week.” He winked.
“Pssh.” You smirked. “In your dreams.”

For the Trope ask, 14 and 27 with Juke, then 19 and 72 with a ship of your choice
I’ll get to the second half of this soon. But for now part 2 of Bodyguard AU Juke! 
Read part one here. 
Bodyguard AU + Sick/Injured fic
Julie Molina was not sick.
Ok, maybe she had been dragging for days and her brain had gone slightly fuzzy and she was pretty sure she had a temperature.
But she wasn’t sick. She couldn’t be. Not when her first ever national tour started in less than a month and her second album had just been released. She had radio appearances and tv interviews and stage rehearsals and a million other things she had to do that week.
So she couldn’t be sick.
Unfortunately her body didn’t seem to get that memo.
“Hey, are you ok?”
Julie turned her head sluggishly toward Luke who was frowning over at her from the back of the car they were being driven towards her next interview in.
She shook her head then realized that was the opposite of what she meant to do. She stopped mid-shake and switched over to a nod.
“Yeah, I’m fine,” She told him, the slight croak to her voice doing little to help her credibility.
Luke’s frown deepened and his eyes narrowed as he examined her from across the car.
Alex turned to look back from the front seat.
“You are looking kind of like a ghost, Jules,” He observed. “You’re paler than me.”
“I said I’m fine,” Julie insisted even as she shivered involuntarily. “Can we just go over the schedule for today again?”
“Oh look at that,” Alex said, typing furiously on his phone. “It just cleared up.”
“Alex…” Julie whined.
“You should listen to him, Julie,” Luke broke in. “You’re not helping anyone by passing out on live tv.”
Julie crossed her arms and let out an indignant huff. She could feel her lips pursing like an annoyed toddler. She couldn’t help it. Being sick always reverted her back to her younger days and left her feeling pouty and clingy.
Not that she was sick.
Only her head was killing her and her nose was kind of stuffy and she was so tired.
“Maybe…” Her voice cracked and she studiously ignored the look Alex and Luke exchanged at the sound. “Maybe I could take one day off.”
“I’m glad you’ve seen reason,” Alex said. “Not that you had a choice but still.”
Julie sighed, deciding she didn’t have the energy to engage with her best friend at that moment. She sank back into the leather of the seat, closing her eyes and trying to ignore the throbbing in her head. She would just rest her eyes and by the time they got back to her place maybe she would feel up to doing some work remotely. She could tweak the lyrics for that Spotify exclusive she had promised for next week and maybe even call into a couple of radio shows she had been booked on. She would convince Alex that was a good idea. She just needed to rest for a few minutes first.
At least that had been the plan.
Instead she found herself being shaken awake to the sight of Luke’s face hovering over hers.
“Jules? We’re here.”
Had he ever used that nickname for her before? She didn’t think so. She decided to blame her apparent illness for the sudden fluttering in her chest at the sound of the word tumbling casually from her bodyguard’s lips.
“Alex,” She mumbled, still half out of it. “Maybe I can do a couple of my interviews on the phone…”
“Go to bed,” He interrupted. “Seriously. I’ve got this.”
Julie wanted to protest but her brain was moving a little too slow and Luke was already pulling her out of the car, those absurdly defined muscles being put to work, and she lost her train of thought.
“I can walk,” She grumbled as he led her into her building and over to the elevator, one arm wrapped firmly around her waist.
“I know,” He said in an annoyingly agreeable voice. “So can I and right now we’re walking together.”
Julie rolled her eyes but let herself be hustled into the elevator. Luke scanned his key card to authorize it to take them to the top floor.
“Who gave you a key to my building?” Julie asked as she leaned against the wall and let her tired eyes slide shut.
“That would be you,” Luke answered, his amusement clear even though she didn’t open her eyes to check his expression.
“What an idiot,” She mumbled.
Her head was now not only throbbing but had suddenly started to feel too heavy to keep upright.
She felt Luke lean against the wall next to her and gave into the urge to lean over and rest her head on his shoulder. Or she would have if he hadn’t been quite a bit taller than her. As it was her head landed awkwardly somewhere towards the middle of his arm.
She sighed and decided it was too much trouble to try again.
He didn’t comment on her behavior, only leaned a little closer to her so she had less of a stretch.
It felt like only a second later that she heard the familiar ding that let her know they had reached her floor.
“Come on,” Luke said, raising her gently off of his arm so he could wrap it around her waist again and steer her towards her front door. He swiped his key again and pushed the door open, half dragging her inside and straight to her bedroom. She briefly had the wherewithal to wonder if she had left anything embarrassing out in plain sight but quickly gave up as she sank onto the edge of her bed.
“Thanks,” She mumbled. “I’m good now.”
He ignored her statement which was clearly intended to dismiss him. He crouched down in front of her and reached up to place the back of his hand against her forehead. Julie shivered, unsure if it was her fever or his proximity that caused her reaction.
She decided the fuzzy feeling in her head was excuse enough to let herself examine his face up close. She hadn’t been this close to him since they were pressed up against each other while hiding in her closet. It wasn’t a good memory exactly, she remembered how scared she had been in the moment, how violated she had felt later when she let it sink in that someone had invaded her home. But she also remembered his hand clutched in hers, soft palms and calloused fingertips confirming her suspicion that he was a musician in his spare time. She remembered his eyes, impossibly big as they searched hers for signs of panic. She remembered his messy hair and how badly she had wanted to run her fingers through it even during a terrifying situation.
And she remembered how he had refused to leave her that night, insisting that he sleep on her couch, just in case. She had gotten up that night, telling herself she needed a glass of water but knowing deep down she just wanted a glimpse of his sleeping face.
It was a good face.
His lips quirked up slightly.
“Thanks,” He said as he dropped his hand from her forehead.
“For what?”
She scrunched up her face in confusion.
“You just said I had a good face.”
Julie would have reacted more to that if she had the energy. As it was all she could do was groan slightly at the knowledge that she managed to say something she didn’t mean to in front of him again.
“Don’t worry, I know you don’t know what you’re saying,” He assured her. “You’re burning up, Boss.”
“I think I’d better lie down,” She mumbled.
He nodded and stood.
“Do you have some...where can I get you something to sleep in?” He asked.
“You don’t have to,” She tried to dismiss but he just stared at her expectantly. “Middle drawer.”
He crossed the room quickly and opened the door in question, grabbing an old baggy shirt and a pair of sleep shorts, bringing them back to her quickly.
“Thanks,” She said again.
“I’ll just…” He jerked his thumb towards the doorway indicating he would leave the room so she could change.
She nodded and started pulling her top off without hesitation. His eyes widened and he spun to leave the room quickly. Ok, she knew there were perfectly good reasons why she should have made sure he was turned around before she did that but she couldn’t latch on to them at that moment. She just wanted to be horizontal as soon as humanly possible. She had just managed to change and slide under her comforter when she heard the door to her condo click shut.
She tried to ignore the sinking in her chest at the sound.
Of course there was no reason for him to stay. He was her bodyguard not her babysitter and certainly not her boyfriend. Sure, she could admit to herself that she had been nursing a little crush on him for months and there had been times she was sure he was flirting with her. But then she reminded herself that was just how he was, chemistry with literally everyone. It didn’t mean anything to him.
So it couldn’t mean anything to her.
Julie sighed and sank deeper into her pillow. She wasn’t sure if she actually slept or if she just drifted in and out of feverish confusion but the next thing she was fully aware of was Luke once again crouching in front of her.
She wasn’t sure if he was real or not and somehow in her fever addled mind that seemed like a good reason to reach out and touch his face.
His eyes softened affectionately when her fingers brushed his cheek and she wasn’t sure if that was evidence that he was real or a fantasy.
“Hey, Boss,” He said softly.
“Hey,” She whispered. “You came back.”
He smiled and held up a plastic bag.
“Of course. I got Tylenol and tissues and some soup I can make you later.”
She felt a surge of treacherous joy at his words even as she struggled to hold on to enough logic and propriety to let him off the hook.
“You don’t have to stay,” She told him, pulling her hand back to her side. “This isn’t part of your job description.”
He chuckled and she wanted to demand he tell her what was so funny but she was distracted by the way he reached out to run his hand over the top of her head.
“Go to sleep, Jules.”
Her brain seemed to take his words as a command, her eyes fluttering shut. Unfortunately only a few seconds passed before a shrill ringing was causing them to shoot open again.
“Don’t answer it,” Luke tried even as she was reaching for her phone which sat on her nightstand.
“Hello?” She muttered, holding it up to her ear weakly.
“Julie? Are you ok?”
She frowned as the familiar voice of her big brother washed over her.
“Reggie? How did you even know I was sick?” She asked.
“Alex called me,” He said as though it should be obvious. “Look, I’m getting in the car right now. I’ll be there as soon as I can.”
“What? No. That’s like a 6 hour drive,” She croaked out. “There’s no reason for you to come all the way from San Francisco.”
“The flu isn’t something to mess around with, Julie,” He insisted. “You shouldn’t be alone and Alex is working.”
Julie’s head was spinning and even the weight of her phone seemed to be too much for her in her current weakened state.
“I’m not alone,” She mumbled.
“What? Who’s there?” Reggie demanded.
“Just talk to Luke,” She instructed.
She just had time to hear Reggie ask semi-frantically who exactly Luke was before she was shoving the phone into her bodyguard’s hands. He looked slightly panicked but to his credit he took the phone and raised it to his ear.
Julie had intended to eavesdrop on their conversation but in the end she sank into a fitful slumber before she could hear a thing.
The next time she woke up she didn’t feel any better. If anything she felt even worse. Luke was there though. He brought her more pain medicine and walked her to the bathroom to make sure she didn’t fall. He made her soup and hot tea. And when she started to droop again he tucked her back into bed.
“Goodnight, Boss.”
He was still there when she woke up the next day.
She had a text message from Alex saying he had rescheduled her commitments for that day too and she still felt too miserable to fight him on it. Apparently Luke had gone back to his place at some point while she slept because he was wearing fresh clothes when she emerged from her room.
She felt slightly better by lunch, managing to sit up and join Luke on the couch to watch some tv. She discovered he loved the trashy reality shows that drove her crazy and she adored the cooking shows he called criminally boring. They both loved 90’s sitcoms though. At one point he grabbed her acoustic guitar and started playing her a song she had never heard before.
Dreaming like we’ll live forever
But living like it’s now or never
Julie managed a tired smirk.
“Is this your way of telling me I’m dying?” She asked teasingly.
“Not on my watch,” He said firmly before shooting her one of those troublesome grins she would always associate with him. “And that is part of my job description.”
Right. Because he was her employee. Only...surely employees didn’t just hang around for two days to keep their boss company while she was sick...did they?
The next day Julie was starting to feel more human. She insisted that Luke go home. It had taken some convincing but finally he had agreed, insisting that she call him if she needed anything.
Julie spent two more days recovering alone in her apartment, most of her symptoms having abated but a deep sense of exhaustion taking a little longer to leave her. She called Reggie back and ignored his pointed questions about why a bodyguard was so dedicated to her well-being when it wasn’t life threatening and was she sure there wasn’t something she wanted to tell him?
Brothers.
Alex wasn’t much better, texting her every five minutes not with work updates but asking if she had spoken to Luke. Of course she hadn’t. He was her bodyguard not her boyfriend and if some small part of her was disappointed that he hadn’t called to check on her she wasn’t about to say that out loud.
She was feeling back to herself and prepared to return to her hectic life the next day when she got one more message from Alex that had her nearly dropping her phone.
Just a heads up, I found out why lover boy hasn’t called. He caught your flu.
Julie felt a lot of things as she read Alex’s text.
She felt guilty.
She felt worried.
She felt an overwhelming urge to make sure he was ok.
She knew she could accomplish that by shooting off a quick text. If she really wanted to go the extra mile as a boss she could call. That would be normal. That would be appropriate.
But hadn’t they passed that a long time ago?
So that’s how she found herself outside of his apartment, knocking nervously on his door.
At first no one answered but just as she was debating knocking again the door swung open to reveal a pale Luke, his slightly sweaty face scrunching up adorably in confusion.
“Julie? What are you doing here?” He asked, his voice a familiar croak.
“You caught my flu,” She said simply as though that should explain everything.
He managed a smile even if it was slightly pained.
“So you what...came to apologize?”
“No, I…” She held up the bag she gripped in her hand. “I brought Tylenol and tissues and some soup I could make later. If you want.”
His eyebrows raised sluggishly in surprise.
“You’re going to take care of me?” He asked, that soft look back in his eyes.
“I can’t have you dying on me,” She shrugged with a small smile. “Who else would protect me from the over zealous tweens on tour?”
He chuckled before cutting himself off with a cough.
“That’s sweetly pragmatic of you,” He said. “How did you even know where I live?”
“Um, I had Alex pull your personal file,” She admitted.
“Wow, pretty sure that’s an HR violation,” He joked.
“Uh, yeah. Sorry about that. So...can I come in?” She asked only slightly nervously.
In the end she shouldn’t have worried.
He only grinned tiredly and stepped aside to let her pass.
“Come on in, Boss.”
And so she stepped over the threshold thinking about how if this was a song she was writing that would be a metaphor for the start of something.
But that was a song to write another day.

10 Best Books of 2020
I’m super excited for this post because this has been my best reading year since early high school. That means that I got to read many books that I really liked so it was actually kind of hard solidifying the entire list. I had been updating it after every book I read but for this post I made a few tweaks.
Of course, as a fair warning, these are simply my opinions. If you hate these books, that’s perfectly fine with me but I personally loved them and gave them all 4 or 5 out of 5 stars.
1. A Court of Thorns and Roses series (#1-#3.5) by Sarah J. Maas
Although two books separated the series in my ranking, I thought it’d be unfair for 4 out of my top 10 to be from the same series. This series seriously blew me away. It was the first time that I had to buy the next book immediately so I could read it. I was hooked into the drama and fantasy world quicker than I have with any other fantasy I’ve read. I believe it was the first book that really pushed me toward fantasies for the rest of the year and I’m happy with that.
2. The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
This is my favorite novel of the year but, as I said, the entirety of the ACOTAR series trumped it. Regardless, I’ve never been so drawn into a story and plot. I finally understood what reviewers meant when they claim that a story is “atmospheric”. The entire time I felt like I was experiencing every little thing with Addie because of how beautiful and lyrical Schwab’s descriptions are. I really, truly hope that, if/when I become more serious about my writing, that I will be able to write like this.
3. Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins
This was my contemporary romance of the year! Oh my gosh did it make me so happy and giddy with excitement and laughter, even sadness. Out of all of the books in this trilogy, this was definitely the most mature and therefore my favorite. Nothing felt ridiculous or over done like in Lola and not immature like some themes in Anna. Josh easily moved towards the top of my list for fictional boyfriends because he was honestly so cute and real. The depth was amazing!
4. All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
The book that made me sob at 2 a.m. This book holds a special place in my heart because it’s only the second novel to have made me cry so heavily. Finch and Violet were such brilliant characters and I loved their arcs individually and together so much. Even though for a few pages I could see it coming, my heart still broke into little pieces over the last however many pages after. Although it had it’s funny and heartwarming highs, I really felt the lows.
5. We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
The third book that has ever made me sob. This was a narrative structure that I’ve never seen before and I didn’t hate it’s mysterious plot twists and turns. Although I feel like there are some hints that I might have missed, I still fully grasped the weight of the book. It broke my heart in the third part because of how much I had grown to love our four liars. So much so that I started to dislike them due to their very consistent (yay!) personalities and habits leading me to be even more upset.
6. Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
This was important and impactful. The way that Celeste Ng managed to encompass so many histories and storylines and futures was beautiful! It takes true talent to have so much control of so many characters and relationships. The way that she hands the question of morality to the reader, that the narrator doesn’t justify anything, just tells us the story and let’s us decide needs to happen more!
7. Carve the Mark duology by Veronica Roth
Once again, a series grouped together because they didn’t rank far apart. This duo was specifically boosted for me due to the second novel, which I found was also the case for many others on Goodreads. The experience of the growth in writing was brilliant! This was fun and adventurous and the world is so expansive. I really loved how the plot and pace in both books were handled. Nothing was ever rushed or ignored and no plot holes were left open. That’s all I ask for, especially out of such a short series.
8. The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken
This was another dystopian fantasy read that I enjoyed because of how fun it was. I liked the way that Bracken handles writing younger characters in a traumatic setting. It felt more real than the 16 year olds in YAs from my middle school years who just knew everything immediately or fell in love in .2 seconds. Ruby grows and builds her strength and abilities throughout the entire novel so that she’s able to use them in the chaos at the end, and we’re proud to see that she’s taking control of her powers, not only in a life or death situation. The relationship between Liam and Ruby (and Chubs and Zu) is adorable and the slow build into friendship and the drive to protect each other and then to love (?!) is the sweetest thing.
9. City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
There were a lot of ridiculous things in this first book but it was entertaining. The world is so expansive and I believe that when Clare grasps it in the later books it’ll be even better. The pacing is what keep me afloat in this book because it was constantly moving towards something new. Although that allowed plot holes to open as we flew past subplots, I’m sure they’ll be addressed in due time. I mean, Clare and this series/world wouldn’t be popular if it didn’t get better, right?
10. Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
I didn’t include this with Isla and the Happily Ever After like I did with other series because it didn’t meet the level of love I had for Isla. It was fun but it was incredibly dramatic and unrealistic on some fronts that I couldn’t manage allow. But I laughed and I swooned exactly where I was supposed to. Even with it being ridiculous, the exaggerations were endearing because it felt like a world further away from mine than most contemporaries. People need to admit, extremes can add to the appeal more than it takes away.

When He Loved Me
Tumblr media
Title: When He Loved Me
Summary: “Through the summer and the fall We had each other, that was all Just he and I together Like it was meant to be”
Pairing: Mikey x OFC
Word Count: 513
Warnings: Angst, heartache, untimely death.
A/N: I made this wedding moodboard for @emyearns on Monday for Valentine’s Day, and she and I started talking about how much we loved that it was an elopement and she suggested that they would tattoo rings instead of him wearing a band cause they were kids, they couldn’t afford it anyway. I tried my damnedest to get her to write it but she refused, she forced me to do it. First time I’ve written anything in close to a month, hope it doesn’t suck too bad.
(Summary is a tweaked stanza from the song “When She Loved Me” from Toy Story 2, sung by Sarah McLaughlin. GIF credit goes to @amancanfly)
Tumblr media
“Let’s get married.”
He said it so calmly, I wasn’t certain he was serious. Arguments immediately flooded my mind: we’re too young, people would frown on it, what did I even know about love and marriage. And yet, there was something in his tone that was so certain, so sure, I couldn’t help my reply.
“Okay.”
That very weekend we wed. I wore a simple white dress, five people came with us, and nestled deep within the forest, blanketed in snow, ‘he and I’ became ‘we’, and we were so in love. We had our rings tattooed right there at the wedding because we couldn’t afford real ones, but I preferred the permanence anyway. All was happiness, all easy joy, all was excitement for the future. Together... We.
Our little apartment barely held us, but we didn’t mind. There was so much laughter that happened in that place, so much love. And so, so much sex. Maybe we weren’t together that long, but that boy knew me in ways I didn’t even know myself. He brought forth desires within me, created new longings and emotions that I’d never experienced in my short existence. Lost in our tiny world, we were lost in each other, unaware of the looming presence of darkness. No, there was no light at the end of our heart-shaped tunnel. We barely had the chance to be whole before suddenly I was learning how to be broken.
Some wounds never heal. He’s there in the moments that he’s not, a haunting presence of the life that never got to fly. When I remove my wedding band before bed because pregnancy has caused night time swelling, he remains behind in the slim line of ink that circles my finger. The ghost of his touch is on my skin at every party, lurring me to secluded corners and reminding me of stolen moments. Every now and then I’ll see him in a stranger’s eyes, bright summer sky flashing through the depths of my soul until I can’t breathe.
My daughter looks like him. She was born five years after he left me, and yet I can’t help but see him. His curls, his smile. She’s funny like him, but maybe he was funny like him because I’m funny like me and he was funny like me. Maybe I see him in her because a part of him was a mirror of me. She looks like her father; maybe I have a type. The line is so blurry.
How can one forget what never got to be? How could I possibly get over a life that I wasn’t allowed to have? I was a different person with him, but I buried her in his casket. She died when he did, the memory of her happiness six feet under for the rest of my time. I am no longer that girl, the starry-eyed girl who said yes to the handsome young boy without a penny to his name.
Because he is gone, therefore so is she.
But life goes on.
And so do we.

The Fugitive
13th Doctor x Reader
Summary: You break into the Judoon prison in hopes to save the Doctor, however she doesn’t react in the way you had expected.
Warnings: Non-consensual drugging, hallucinations
A/N: This has been in my drafts for months, but no we’ve finally got some information about ROTD I decided to tweak it a little and finally post it.
Tumblr media
The Doctor is sat in the corner facing the wall. The one mercy is that they're made of stone, meaning that when she's bored (which is most of the time), using the sharpened rock which she found on her second day here, she can carve whatever she likes into them. Over the months, they had been slowly covered in tally-marks and doodles, a sort of time line of her sentence here so far. She had started off with nice drawings - ones of the fam, of custard creams and of her TARDIS console. However they had gotten progressively... darker. Images of the Time War, Daleks and the Timeless Child adorned one small section, which she had started rather desperately in her seventh month, and it was getting larger and more detailed by the day. They sort of reflected the inside of her brain, she'd thought vaguely in one of her saner moments. She had started her time here relatively sound of mind, though now she could feel pieces off her falling away, bits of her morals she had once held onto so tightly crumbling bit by bit. She doesn't jump when she hears the door open, no matter how startling the noise. Instead she carries on with her very detailed drawing of a beheaded Cyberman. It's just the Judoon. They'll give her her evening meal of grey porridge - which she won't eat - and then disappear until morning when they'll collect the neglected tray. "Doc?" She freezes, stone pressed against the wall.
"Hello?" She goes back to her carving, stone scrapping quickly over the concrete. It's just a hallucination. It'll go away soon. "Look at me, darling." Why were they always Y/N? She does jump when she feels a hand on her shoulder. That's new. Hallucinations didn't usually do that. Quickly, she grabs it, nails digging in and the hallucination gasps in pain. The Doctor turns, standing up but not letting go, drawing herself up to it's height. "Doc-" You gasp as she draws blood. "What are you doing? You're hurting me!" After a second she lets go, but her stoney expression shows no remorse. You look around the cell as you clutch your bleeding wrist to your chest, gazing at the walls. "Is that how long you've been here?" You ask, softly when you see the tallies. She doesn't reply, just stares at you unsurely. She looks more like a feral animal than a composed Timelord, wary and waiting for you to try and pounce on her. Just as well, you supposed. Apparently she wasn't meant to be a Timelord anymore. "Darling," You try again, your heart breaking slightly as you realise just how long it's been. Her greasy hair, long enough to sweep her shoulders and her chapped lips are testament to god knows how many months of being alone. "I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get you out of here." You reach out, unbloodied hand going to her cheek, but she practically growls, flinching away until her back hits the wall. You snatch your hand away, seeing the mix of fear and confusion in her eyes. What had prison done to her? "Doctor?" You ask cautiously. "Do you know who I am?" "You're not real." She says hoarsely. "Why would I not be real?" "You're just my imagination - you'll turn on me eventually." "What?" "You're not real." She insists. You're not exactly sure to feel about this development. It's still too early to fall into a panic - she may simply be having a funny moment. You knew months in solitary could do strange things to a person, especially when their home planet had been destroyed directly beforehand. "Even if I'm not real," You say calmly. "Then what's wrong with talking to me?" The Doctor frowns, mouth slightly parted and looking up at you through thick eyelashes as she considers this suggestion. In the beginning, she had tried talking to her hallucinations. 
Well - that was one word for it. She'd screamed at the Master, cried to Rose, and when Tectaun had appeared, her throat had closed up and she'd simply huddled in the corner until she went away.
"Can you do that?" You ask softly. "Talk to me?" Slowly, she nods. You sit down on the excuse for a bed which is in reality a slightly raised stone slab, and pat the blanket next to you. Cautiously she sits down, although noticably as far away as possible. "How long's it been for you?" You ask. "It's been five months for me." She doesn't respond, simply stares down at her hands clapsed together on her knees. "Yaz misses you. A lot." You try. "Graham and Ryan do too. Ryan's got his old job back and Yaz's been promoted. She doesn't like it much though, apparently. Being a PC doesn't compare much to saving the universe." Still no reply. "I've got the TARDIS. It's down the hall, under a perception filter so the Judoon don't see. You wanna come with me? Home?" "It's been ten months," She says sharply, her accent thick and her tone sounds almost like she's blaming you. It's been ten months. Where have you been? Why didn't you come for me? "Oh, Doctor, I'm so sorry." You reach out to take her hand, but as soon as you begin to lean over, her other hand shoots out, clamping down on your throat and shoving you down against the stone bed. "Don't you dare touch me." She growls, her face inches from yours, and it's the most clear and coherent thing she's said since you got here. You lie there, paralysed in fear as you can do nothing but suck in the little air she's allowed you. Then abruptly, she pulls away. "Why can I do that?" She asks no one in particular, voice small and stark in comparison to the threat she had just spat at you. She looks at her hand and then up at you in confusion as she backs away to the other side of the room. "Why can I touch you?" "Because I'm real!" You insist, pushing yourself up. "No, no, no, you can't be real, why would you be real? Y/N wouldn't want to come here, she'd hate this place." "I'd go anywhere for you, love." "You're not real." "Why did you do that? Hurt me?" You ask as she stares at you with wide eyes. "You never do that." "Doesn't matter," She shrugs, flexing her fingers. "If you're real or not. Or if I hurt you. I don't even know who I am anymore, so who cares about stupid morals or ethics or what the Doctor would do? The Doctor doesn't exist. Never did. All there were was some escaped lab rat." "What, so we're both not real now?" "Have you seen the things they keep here?" She asks, ignoring you. "The other monsters they keep in these cells?" "I saw Weeping Angels on the way here. Cybermen. Ptings." "They put me in the prison made for the most dangerous creatures in the universe, because in the end, I'm just as bad as them." "You're not." "I am." She hisses. "I've lost count of how many people I've killed. My list is longer than the Dalek's, the Timelord's, the Master's. They've put me in here for good reason." "But since the Time War you've done nothing but save people, Doctor." "Futile distractions." She says dismissively. "Yeah, maybe I've saved a few thousand lives, but that's nothing compared to the billions I've killed. There were three billion children on Gallifrey that day." You swallow, because ultimately, what she's saying is true. "I'm not going to do anything to you, Doctor," You tell her softly. "Can I just take your hand?" She looks at you for a second, licking her dry lips and squaring her shoulders. "Okay." You gently curl your hands over hers. A part of you wants to pull her into your chest. Another part of you wants to hit her. This wasn't how it was supposed to go. She was supposed to jump into your arms, tell you she'd missed you and then you'd both head to the TARDIS, happily on your way. Not... whatever this was. "Doctor, look at me." You say, searching her face until she lifts her gaze to meet your own. "You're not in your right mind." "Prison does that." She states hoarsely. "Do you remember the Time War? Do you remember meeting your tenth regeneration and going with him to Gallifrey?" She thinks and then slowly shakes her head. "The Judoon did funny things to my head." "Doctor, darling," You say, taking a deep breath. "We went back to Gallifrey, do you remember? With Clara? We fixed it, we put Gallifrey in a time bubble. You never hurt any of them." She just stares at you, her expression unchanging. "Doctor?" You try again. "Did you he-" "No." She says suddenly. "Stop it." "The Master destroyed Gallifrey, not you." Her eyes well up and uh oh, that was the wrong thing to say. "But I'm not who I thought I was." She whispers. "Why does any of it matter?" It feels like you're going around and round in circles. She doesn't look like the Doctor anymore, she looks like a child. Someone so lost and scared she doesn't know what to do with herself. "We can fix this, love." You say softly. "Come with me? The TARDIS is right down the hall. I drugged the Judoon, they'll be out for an hour yet." "No, I don't want to go with you." She replies, aiming for defiant but sounding small and unsure. "You have to!" "No!" You sigh. You hadn't thought it would go this way, but it occurs to you that you still have one tranquiliser left in your pocket. 500 mililitres - enough to knock out a Judoon and also enough to make a Timelord woozy. "Doctor," You whisper. "I'm really sorry." "Wha-" The needles in her side before she can register it's out of your pocket and in your hand. She stiffens, opens her mouth and then slumps forward into you where your arms catch her gracefully. You feel like a terrible person, watching her head loll against your shoulder as she remains limp in her red boiler suit. The rough material scratches the pads of your fingers as you hoist her up into a bridal carry. You didn't have a choice. You needed to get her out of here, get her somewhere safe, get her home. You take one last glance around the cell as the Doctor watches you through almost closed eyelids, too weak to do much else. In the corner, down where she had been sitting, there's a tiny unfinished, disturbingly detailed doodle of a Cyberman without a head. However, to the left of that there's your name and a simple sketch of your face. You smile, looking down at her in your arms as you turn to leave. "Where there's risk, there's hope Doctor." The corners of her mouth turn up, just slightly.
