Note
you should totally definitely absolutely completely watch star wars JUST to watch ahsoka and hop on the wolfwren train.
(if you genuinely want to i can help narrow down the list of things to watch since there’s quite a bit of star wars media to cover)
Honestly Star Wars has seemed pretty interesting to me for a while so adding lesbians into the mix just made that about ten times more intense but it also feels like such a giant series to get through and I have such a hard time getting through stuff so I could use some advice!

Hero, Villain God 58
(Prev) (Next) (First)
*Scar's pov*
You don't even have to wait that long for Altostratus and Ocean Queen to arrive, It's a bit impressive to be honest... You hope they didn't violate the speed limit to get here or something, you really don't want anyone to get in trouble for you if you can avoid it.
The black windowed car stops in front of the building, It's definitely property of the association...not fair, you weren't given a car... You don't know how to drive one but still, unfair.
The front door opens, It's Altostratus at the wheel with Ocean Queen sitting next to him, she waves at you. He lowers his sunglasses (Who even wears sunglasses during a storm???) and looks at you.
"Get in losers we're going shopping"
... Eh?
"But we are going to see Cuteguy"
"I know, jeeze, just wanted to say the quote"
"Oh!"
Yeah that makes sense! You would do the same for Star Wars quotes. You nod and make your way onto the backseat, Cub follows quietly behind you.
You expected the car ride to be silent but almost immediatly Ocean Queen turns towards you and Cub to ask about Cuteguy.
"Oh Sheriff is so mean, he won't tell me anything about the guy! Can you believe it?"
"I mean, I doubt he's allowed to" Responds Cub while sipping on sone kind of juice...where did he even get that!?
"Well, as his sister I feel like I'm owed at least the bare minimum! So! Hotguy, Cub, what is Cuteguy like?" She fully turns her head around, you can hear Altostratus protest at the sudden movement.
"Well, I've met the guy few times, seems like a nice guy and all even if sarcastic. Can't tell you much more then that though, Hotguy is the exper here."
Two sets of eyes turn to you, you didn't expect this to become an interview. "Cuteguy... he's great actually! He...well, I'm not going to say too much without him agreeing to it but he's really kind. And brave, he put himself in front of a bullet for me."
The conversation continues from them and when you tell them all you think you can tell them the conversation somehow turns to movies and from there to cartoons to you ranting about the decline in quality of Disney films.
Cub ends up shutting down 5 minutes in and Altostratus almost slams his head into the steering wheel at one point, Ocean Queen seems pretty interested though... It's at this point you remember the one question you had.
"So...uh, are the two working are working a case together? Oh! Is it a big super secret thing?"
Cub focused back. "If it was a 'super secret thing' I doubt the would be telling you".
Ocean Queen turns to Altostratus. "Should we tell him?"
In response he straightens up in his seat."What? Why?"
You are... Very confused... and suspicious. Especially suspicious. Are they hiding something from you? Why?
Ocean Queen just pouts in response. "He's our coworker, he should at least get know that much... Plus he did tell us about Cuteguy, It's the least we could do."
"... I ...I guess??? Just-" he sighs. "It's not something you can take back."
She turns her body so that's she's now somewhat looking at you again...
"So uh...me and J- Altostratus are actually married. So uh ... Surprise?"
Wait, is she serious? That's awesome! Really, you don't get why they didn't say so earlier.
"Congratulations-"
You are interrupted by the car coming to a stop.
Altostratus shuts off the car and steps out. "We're here lads, try not to let too much rain into my car when you get out, It's just been cleaned. If you do I will know and I won't be happy about it."

until next time / part one / jake's letter
this is not a full fic! this is the text-post version of the letter photos from my fic over on my main blog @vivalas-vega that you can read here
Tumblr media
Dear Raven,
My name is Jake Seresin, but you probably know me best as Hangman, and while introductions are important I’m sure you couldn’t care less about who I am and just want to know why I’m writing you a letter. I don’t blame you, I don’t really know why I am either but I felt compelled to after a mishap with the mail out here. Your last letter to Rooster ended up on my pillow, and in my haste to open it I assumed it was just from my mom. I wish I could tell you I didn’t read it after I realized my mistake, but unfortunately that is not what happened. I read the entire thing.
I found it to be very compelling, and it really made me laugh at times which is why it was so hard to put down, not that flattery is going to correct this massive invasion of your privacy. I wanted to write you to apologize, I’m trying to be less of a dick and this seemed like something someone would do if they weren’t a dick. How am I doing so far? Anyways, I’m very sorry for reading something you only intended to be seen by one person. Super uncool of me.
Now that that’s out of the way, I have some thoughts on what I read. This Matthew guy sounds like a real tool and I’m never inclined to agree with Rooster, something you probably already know if he’s ever mentioned me, but unfortunately, I have to agree with him. Hotshot doctors are always douchebags and definitely a waste of your time. However, just because he was right doesn't mean you were wrong. I hope he doesn’t give you too much grief about not listening to him because the only person in the wrong here is Matthew. The whole thing sounds like something right out of a bad sitcom and I’m sorry you had to go through that.
This will probably mean a lot more to you coming from Rooster but I feel I need to say it anyway: you deserve better than someone like him and I am proud you held your tongue. I don’t think I could do the same in your position. Throwing your wine in his face would have been nice though, doctors are always so particular about their fancy expensive shirts, I think the wine would have complimented it nicely. Is dating in New York really that bad? Your comment about rom coms made me realize I did kind of envision it as the perfect place to fall in love. Commercial romance propaganda worked on me, I guess. But when I really think about it, all those people on one island all chasing big dreams seems like the perfect storm for some hearts to get broken. I’m sorry yours had to be one of them. Maybe you could tell me more about New York if you’re not too pissed about the whole invasion of privacy thing, I never got the draw but there must be one if so many people live there.
I didn’t realize you’d known Bradley long enough to know his mom – I didn’t really realize how close the two of you were at all. He’s very protective about the people he loves, which I’m sure you know, so it makes sense he hasn’t mentioned you much to me. I have a bit of a reputation on base that I’m hoping you don’t already know about otherwise this whole letter thing is going to seem a whole lot worse. Really all he’s ever told me is that you’re good friends and that you don’t live close. I know now from unintentionally snooping that you’re a writer who lives in New York and likes Star Wars. Side note, if you ever meet the rest of the squad, don’t mention that to Fanboy unless you want to be stuck in a conversation about it for hours.
I’m really bad at this whole letter thing and I feel bad I don’t have cool paper like you guys. Like I said I thought yours was from my mom when I saw it on my pillow. She sends me one or two every deployment and I always respond with the bare minimum – I can’t tell her much about what I do, legally as well as just in general. She worries and the one time I let something slip she cried for much longer than I’d like to admit. I wouldn’t mind getting one from you that was actually meant for me, though. I wasn’t just trying to flatter you, it was really compelling to read and things can get pretty bleak out here.
If I found out someone had read a letter about my breakup meant only for my best friend I’d be pretty embarrassed, which you don’t need to be, but in the interest of fairness I’m going to share an embarrassing story with you. When I was in high school I was pansted by the captain of the soccer team in the dead of winter… I’m from Texas so people don’t assume it gets very cold there, and they’d be right, but that particular year we had an unseasonably cold winter. Whatever you’re thinking happened, aka the worst thing a growing boy can go through, I promise happened. I’ve never shared that story with anyone, for obvious reasons, and it still follows me to this day every time I go home.
I hope that makes us even, and again I’m really sorry for reading your letter. I hope the anniversary party went well and that any drama didn’t include you (but I do really hope there was drama, I love hearing about scandals involving people I’ve never met). If you ignore this letter and tell Rooster what a jackass I am I wouldn’t blame you in the slightest, but if you want to respond I definitely wouldn’t mind that either.
Until (hopefully) next time, Jake Seresin
P.S, keep ignoring his calls and I hope you got your Manolo’s back. Those things are ridiculously expensive.

"be as openly anti racist as possible"... so that's why you made this year alone a video in which you joked about using the n word two times? is that why you used the race of a Star Wars OC as a shield, while openly aknowledging and acting as if you never in your life made the bare minimum research into how to write black characters in any respectful way? always putting the burden of educating you into other black people or people who already did that research? is that why you made rey into a fetihisizer that swoons over exclusively black women? is that why you deleted the comment of the black non binary creator whose article you plagiarized for your SU original video? is that why you called "vultures and stalkers" to the black people who were calling you out for fetishizing black skin?
is that why you whitewashed "wellfare queen" by using it as an insult without any recognition of it's racist history? is that why you have been smearing and supporting Ginger into smearing POC who criticize you? is that why you actively ignored SEA when they talk about their own representation in the movie Raya? is that why you said that if people like Willow from TOH they had an "orientalism problem"? is that why you said that Japan's culture was completely colonized by the USA, that their cultures were practically the same, and you said it like it was a good thing? is that why you completely ignore the existence of asian people, except when you want to bash anime or Japan... something that asian people have called you out on, only for you to turn around and treat them as stalkers? is that why you insist that Japanese can be completely replaced with English without losing any of any importance? is that why you used your ex Carousel as your entire and sole defense as to why you couldn't possibly be a fetishizer of black women? basically making a "i can't be racist, i have a black friend", even though you weren't even friends at that point? is that why you lied for years about being Cherokee, but have no connection whatsoever to the culture, the Nation or even it's people, demostrated by the fact that you didn't even know that your grandfather was never Cherokee in the first place until Courtney, the sibling you molested for years, spoke out? is that why your avatar for years had a brown skin you never had? is that why you said you refused to watch shows like the Boondocks because it made songs with the n word too catchy for you to resist singing them all the time? because you were trying to be anti-racist? LO, if that was you trying to be anti-racist, then you failed. espectacularly so, and should be embarassed for yourself. mind you, i could keep going. but you only put two years as the timeframe in which you cared about racism, so i only concentrate on the things that happened in that time frame. thanks for telling everyone that the years that you were posturing as a leftist before 2021 are meaningless because you weren't even trying to be anti-racist then btw. i think this ask is a self send, but even if it's real... Carousel not talking about LO means nothing. it certainly doesn't mean that she has any positive or negative opinion about LO, despite the many times LO badmouthed her in public, and i believe it's self send because that's an increibly childish way of thinking in the first place. "this one person haven't said anything about this other person, then that means all the other bunch of people who talked about them must be wrong" is not rational thinking, it makes no sense. only a child would come out with that.

Kevin Stoley
Tumblr media
-They are just bad dreams, nothing more. Just fall asleep at once, Kevin, you're almost eighteen, you're going to school and you have a girlfriend, you've got to grow up-...
Tumblr media
 These were his sister's words to reassure him after a nightmare. Kevin was a weird guy, but weird in a good way, Kevin was very interested in science fiction and comics. His room reflected this very well: From posters of  giant Star Treks that filled the entire ceiling of his room, to a complete collection of Star Wars lightsabers. If you needed someone to tell you about a universe that involved a minimum of spaceships, whether it was any comic, book, movie or video game, chances are Kevin Stoley had you covered. This perhaps doesn't sound so bad; But Kevin's sister: Esther, I knew Kevin was a bit of a person... "Sensitive", Kevin used to present constant nightmares with monsters from video games and movies, this would not have any problem if Kevin was still in his childhood, but the problem that his sister had was that her brother was seventeen years old, this was just almost sad, and although Esther was always happy to comfort her brother,  Even she was starting to get irritated from getting up at one in the morning every night to tell her brother that the stain wasn't real and that she wasn't going to kill him.
"I know, but you really have to treat me like a little boy because of that?"
Tumblr media
-Listen, just try to fall asleep today without getting up, OK? I have an online exam tomorrow and I should be **super** rested. Esther smiled at her brother one last time and kissed his forehead.
-Argh! Esther, you know I don't like this, it's embarrassing and I'm too old for you to kiss me. Kevin complained while frowning a little. His sister still treated him as if he were ten years old. Although well, he was the one who asked her for help when she woke up from a bad dream
-Kevin, first of all I remind you that I still have to come to comfort you almost every night, second: You shouldn't act like that with those who give you love. His sister asked as she looked at him with that smile that his brother had seen so much before falling asleep.
-Well, obviously not... Maybe because she's not my sister! Kevin shouted in a friendly tone and somewhat sorry for having to wake up his little sister practically every night.
"Look, Kevin, you shouldn't feel ashamed that your sister shows you care, if she didn't, she wouldn't come to wish you goodnight. Besides, who knows if this will be the last time I'll see you, who knows and I'll die in my sleep. we should not be like this with anyone, much less your old reliable little sister! Esther made jazz hands while spreading a big smile on her cheeks. Kevin, on the other hand, just smiled and hugged his sister, that smile of Esther's had now stuck to him too, and he couldn't help but just hug his sister for a while.
"Esther, I promise I won't wake you up today, you always worry about me, it's the least I can do..." Kevin was about to shed a tear when his sister stroked his hair and said:
"Oh, Kevin, you don't need to, just for today, will you?" Someday I'm not going to be there for you, and I hope Red is there to take care of you, I don't know. I only ask you to give it a try tonight. His sister winked at him confidently and left his brother's room, but not before turning off the light in the room and closing the door.
The hours passed; Kevin was already asleep in a light sleep, barely four hours had passed since he had gone to sleep. It was two in the morning, that day it rained incessantly for hours and hours, from morning until almost sunset, it was really an extraordinary event, at first he was relieved not to have school, but "as happened to almost all the children in the town and its surroundings" he realized that the signal was unstable and the light was even worse,  It was almost a miracle that their computer or TV had not short-circuited so many times that they were victims of sudden blackouts. That rain was an event that the whole town would remember for several years to come... And even more, he suffered the tragedy of not being able to play any of his video games for long and agonizing hours, he was truly sure that he had suffered more than everyone in the village combined.
But that didn't matter anymore; The rain had ended a few hours before he went to sleep and all he could hear now was only the loud barking of a dog that seemed to be trying to scare something away. Those loud screams were enough to wake Kevin, who had been sleeping too light for as long as he could remember, so anything no matter how insignificant it seemed was almost certain to wake him up.
"Hell, is it that no one is capable of going to calm their dog?" Kevin said quietly as he rubbed his eyes somewhat irritated. After a few minutes of trying to go back to sleep Kevin noticed that he was simply not able to do it anymore, but it did not seem strange to him nor was it like that in general, once something woke him up it was almost impossible for him to go back to sleep without someone asking him. That was mainly the reason why his sister always had to come and make him sleep. "Or at least that's what was always said in his mind."
Kevin got up: He was short in stature, his hair was straight but extremely soft, his face had some acne marks and he had to wear glasses because of his myopia. He wasn't the most attractive guy, but that didn't matter to him, Kevin used to be quite friendly with everyone around him and "even though he never wanted to admit it" he always thought of others and others thought of him. This had given him quite a few friendships and he was generally appreciated by everyone around him. Kevin put on his glasses and walked to the window of his room and silently admired the stars for a while; With his hands he began to draw the face of his beloved Red MacArthur in the air. She thought for a while what she would think of him if she found out that he still needed someone to comfort him before sleeping, that was the most precious secret Kevin Stoley had, because if someone found out, well... I only knew that at least I would be the laughingstock of the school for five painful months. He quickly shook his head and forgot about that thought, still in his pajamas he decided to go out to his backyard and walk around a little until he got sleepy. But even worse was that she felt that her sister was lying to her, she felt as if she only wanted him to grow up and stop waking her up every blessed night just because a dog barked too loudly or because she dreamed that a monster was devouring him alive. That was indeed the most troubled in his mind. The teasing was temporary, but feeling like a martyr to someone you love was truly the painful thing.
Again he tried to forget those intrusive thoughts and went down in silence so as not to wake anyone up to his backyard. He felt something strange in that place, the screams of that dog had stopped, there was not a single hint of sound in the whole place... Kevin felt a déjà bu, it seemed as if he had already experienced this before; In a dream from many years ago, perhaps. He could not remember for sure what it was that bothered him so much, he felt that he was going to die soon, that there was something extremely wrong in that tranquility of the night, he simply felt... false.
His thoughts short-circuited when he heard something go up near his house, he turned to his right corner; from where the sound had originated and he saw a person climb the fence. He stepped back a little frightened, but it seemed as if the person who had just crossed the fence of his home was not very uneasy or scared.
"Tally-ho, Kevin!"
Tumblr media
"What, who the hell are you!?" - Kevin slowly backed away as he watched as the person approached him. It looked like it had some strange fake "wings" and "horns" on its back and forehead as it tried to hide its teeth with a short smile.
Tumblr media
"Oh, don't you really remember my name?" Oh Kevin, look how much you've grown! Are you still with Red? Or even better, do you happen to know where Damien is?" said the intruder as he approached with a big smile; His teeth being somewhat long and even somewhat sharp, his clothes were too clean and shiny, but he noticed that there was a little bit of what seemed to be a strange black liquid in one of its corners.
"D-Damien!?" Eh-listen~ j-just get out of here! I-I'm going to call the police if you don't leave~-
"Oh Kevin, would you really do that with your old friend Pip?" I doubt it, now be a good boy and tell me if you've seen Damien anywhere, he's been spending a lot of time on earth and I'm starting to worry already!" Pip started to walk nonchalantly towards Kevin, staring at him, penetrating into Kevin's soul with is purple eyes, even when the boy with glasses tried to scream, Phillip was just getting closer and faster towards him,  until finally stopping for a second; Kevin watched as Pip's expression for the first time denoted some anger and frustration.
-Kevin Kevin Kevin... Do you really not remember my name mhm? Okay, I get it, I was never the most popular or the most loved. That doesn't make me angry... What makes me angry is that you don't want to cooperate..." Pip quickly approached Kevin; Who, helplessly, looked at a great and sharp smile, the blond one formed on his face; his teeth opening massively until revealing that in his mouth there were only rows after rows of sharp teeth, Kevin heard how the jaw tore and stretched to inhuman reaches; Phillip's skin stretched and revealed Phillip's red-hot skin, you could even see Phillip's throbbing veins, the two long horned ones began to slowly expand on Pip's forehead as he laughed maniacally in an increasingly distorted and heartbreaking voice, two long tongues that looked as if they belonged to a snake peeked out before Kevin's helpless gaze; Who only tried to struggle in vain and scream for help.
Tumblr media
It was a great and agonizing scream that woke Esther up: it seemed that it came from her backyard, but first she went to check her brother's room as a precaution. "He's not there..." she said to herself in her mind. But Esther didn't feel real panic, the fences in her neighborhood were not very long and this meant that rodents and other wild animals often scurried around the yards, Kevin was already quite afraid of animals such as raccoons and mice, so knowing his brother he had probably only met one of these animals and got a good scare... and, hearing no more screams, he assumed that Kevin had calmed down and probably only admired the nightscape.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She calmly went downstairs and turned on the lights in the living room, but her expression changed completely when she saw what appeared to be a monster on top of her brother's inert body.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That demon looked at her with blood in her mouth for a few seconds; Their pupils were extremely small and luminous: of which a mixture of purple and red light was visible through them. Esther screamed and rushed to save her brother, Pip on the other hand fled the scene quickly. But that was the least that could matter to Esther at that moment, she went to see if her precious brother was still alive, but a quick inspection of what was left of his face and torso was enough to confirm that nothing could be done to save him.

I just rewatched the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow". And oh by golly do I have a ton of headcanons and ideas regarding what happened in the Other-Jim's timeline, as well as how that affects La'an when she gets back to her own timeline. And since you obviously want to know about all of my thoughts on this, I will share them.🙂
This is gonna be a long one, lads and lasses. So buckle your seatbelts.
Also, Spoilers for season 2 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds below the cut.
All ideas I'm about to talk about stem from the fact that I am convinced that the first thing to convince Jim to help La'an get her timeline back, was the fact that in her timeline, Sam was still alive. He would risk his entire universe, just to know that his brother was still there. (Just to be 100% clear, I do have eyes and can see that he and La'an developed feelings for each other. Obviously. I'm just talking about before that happened. The look on his face when she said that she knew Sam. Getting his brother back was a first priority, I think.)
There are two main ideas that I have. I'll start with the first one I came up with:
George Samuel Kirk, and James Tiberius Kirk were both born on the SS Iowa. Three years apart.
Growing up during an intergalactic war wasn't easy, and at some point, they made a pact to keep each other safe. No matter what.
Sam learned at a young age how to do whatever it took to keep himself and his brother safe. Even if that meant killing someone.
Sam joined the fight first. He was a soldier and a protecter. And that's what Jim thinks of first when he thinks of his brother.
Sam dies in some sort of suicide mission in order to save the Enterprise. To save his brother.
When La'an and Jim first meet, it's been a minimum of five years since that day. Maybe more.
At some point, Jim asks La'an about what his brother is like in her timeline, which leads to them comparing and contrasting about Sam Kirk, and learning that the two were very VERY different.
The Sam that Jim knew would never shave his face because "The Romulans aren't going to leave us alone for a minute because we need a shave." And he barely if ever would even trim the hair on his face. (La'an laughs at the thought of her timeline's Sam with a shaggy beard.)
Jim's Sam knew how to shoot to kill. He would run first into the fight, just to make sure that everyone made it out alive. And La'an almost wishes she could've met that Sam.
When Jim mentions that he always thought of his brother as a peacemaker and a pacifist that never had the chance to learn what peace was, La'an is glad to be able to tell him that in her timeline, Sam isn't a fighter. He doesn't know how to aim to kill, and would rather run than fight. And Jim smiles at hearing that.
When they think that maybe Jim can come to La'an's timeline, he stops to himself and thinks about seeing Sam again.
It wouldn't be his Sam.
It wouldn't be the same Sam that taught him how to play chess so that he wouldn't hear the sounds of war outside the window.
It wouldn't be the same Sam that would smack him on the back of the head when he ran into a firefight, only to do the same thing almost immediately after.
It wouldn't be the same Sam who wished for a time where he didn't have to fight to keep them safe.
It wouldn't be the same Sam that he watched die.
But for all their differences, the two Sams were very much alike.
Both enjoyed studying biological sciences. (That was one thing that made Jim's Sam so deadly.)
Both Sams had the same Kirk stubbornness, which meant they would never back down.
They both had an annoying habit of saying the wrong things at the worst possible times.
Most importantly, both Sams loved their "idiot" younger brothers.
La'an found all of the differences amusing, and I think she probably wondered just how different the Jim in her own timeline was, from the man that was sitting next to her. The man that she was starting to fall for.
And when things went wrong, his last words were, "Tell Sam I said 'hi'." Even at the end, he thought about his brother.
And La'an went home, alone.
She was told that she wasn't allowed to discuss what happened with anybody. Ever.
She probably avoided Sam for a while. Because even though she never met the Other Sam, she didn't have to.
Sam and Jim look just enough alike for it to be painful. They have the same look in their eyes. Even though Sam's are dark and Jim's are hazel, the light in them is the same.
They also talk in the same way. La'an didn't know that until she got back, but Sam and Jim both use their hands in the same way when they talk. And the way that they shrug with one shoulder, the way they move their mouths when they're thinking. The little things add up.
So La'an just avoids Sam like the plague.
Until eventually, when she's had time to properly process everything that happened. (Sometime post "Subspace Rhapsody" I think would be best.)
She finally catches Sam alone in a turbolift.
She doesn't look at him, and he thinks that he must have done something wrong.
And she just says three words. "Jim says 'hi'."
She fulfills her friend's dying wish. And then she doesn't say anything else, and just gets off as soon as the doors open back up.
Sam knows that something else is going on for two reasons:
One, he just spoke to Jim less than five minutes before.
And two, his Big Brother Instincts were blaring red alert. She was a little sister that needed help.
I don't know if he acted on the Big Brother Instincts or not, but that can be left open to interpretation.
The other concept that I have, follows the same as the first one for the first few bullet points, with one major big change: Other Timeline Sam was closer in additude to Main Timeline Sam.
Instead of being a fighter, Sam was always the one that would hide from the fight. This is partly what prompted Jim to be the one to fight in the war.
Despite his own self-proclaimed cowardice, Sam worked hard to try and protect his brother. Which is what led to his untimely demise.
Instead of dying in a suicide mission to protect the Enterprise, it was something more like a Romulan got on board and was trying to get to Jim
So Sam did what any big brother would in that moment. He kept his baby brother safe.
Claiming to be Jim (or something. Details aren't specific right now.) Sam ends up dying. He managed to kill the intruder too.
Jim doesn't get to his brother in time. By the time he gets there, Sam's dead. And that moment shapes him.
It's still around five years after that, that La'an and Jim meet.
They still end up comparing Sams, but this time, they're surprised by how much alike the two are.
The biggest difference that the two can find is that Jim's Sam was clean shaven.
Jim this time is more hopeful about seeing his brother again. He's sure that there are tons of differences between the two that they don't know about. (La'an and Sam aren't exactly close.)
But what matters to him is that the two Sams are similar enough.
When Jim dies, this time, La'an avoids Sam even harder. She can't bear to look at the man that Other Timeline Jim wanted to see so badly.
The similarities between the brothers are too much. It makes her angry, just as much as it makes her sad. So she avoids Sam.
She walks out of the room as soon as he walks in.
She doesn't even look at the turbolift if she can hear him talking.
Sam's starting to think that he's done something to make her mad at him. It's not like they ever talked much before, but now? Something definitely happened.
In this version of events, she avoids talking to Sam for way longer than she did in the other one. Even after she sorta comes to terms with everything that happened.
It takes some sort of outside intervention to get them talking. (Idk what though. An away mission or something like that maybe? It's not like anyone is shoving them in a room together or anything like that. Aside from the two of them, I don't think anyone else really notices or cares all that much.)
When she does finally say her three words to him, it's a little more angry. They got into a fight because Sam made a comment that his brother doesn't care that much about him. (Don't ask me why that would even come up. It just does. Go with it.)
She yells at him, telling him what Jim's last words were.
She doesn't want to even look at him. Because looking at the Sam that Other Timeline Jim would have been so excited to see hurts, especially when that same Sam is claiming that his brother wouldn't care if anything happens to him.
Maybe it all spills out. Well, not all of it. But some of the big parts. The part where a different version of Sam's brother died in her arms.
The part where the last thing he said was to tell Sam he said hi.
The part where Other Timeline Jim missed his big brother so much that he was willing to destroy the entire life that he knew just to see him again.
By the end of that, she's sobbing. And so is he, really.
Sam apologizes for saying what he did. He didn't know how it would hurt her. (He still doesn't quite believe everything she said. But he really didn't mean to upset her.)
La'an doesn't respond to him, and just walks away.
She doesn't avoid him as much after that.

i'm sending you another ask because wth. anyway. i know we know bare minimum about thomas but what is the owl city vibe
So I went back and tried my best to dig up any scrap of information about I can about him and now this turned into more like me yapping about Thomas himself than his Owl City vibes. I greatly apologize.
So there's a cut just in case and the usual tldr;
Dementia & Deer in the Headlights
That second one might be a bit (a lot) of a stretch but I was fully vibing by then.
He gets two because I said so dammit.
Dementia
youtube
This was the song that immediately popped up when I first read the ask. Since we don't see a lot of him in the story, I only really remembered him as Rafayel's stressed manager.
His character profile literally says he works himself to the bone every day planning Raffy's exhibitions and scheduling appointments and as much as Rafayel is extremely entertaining in-game, I think if I had to work with him, I'd have an anxiety induced breakdown within two days. Have you read Rafayel's first anecdote? I want to strangle him. Motherfucker said 'yea I'll get it done in three days' and then DIDN'T GIVE HIM ANYTHING. He is the motherfucker in the group project who does sweet fuck all because he doesn't care. My anxiety levels are rising just thinking about it.
So yea. If Thomas is anything like me, Dementia is right up his alley. It's his fucking background music.
All the verses in the song describe how incredibly stressed he is. Because they all end with
Dementia you're driving me crazy.
(Cuz' this is driving me crazy)
In fact, just replace every instance of the word 'dementia' with 'Rafayel' and it's just him talking.
And then the chorus hits, especially the last iteration of it,
Big surprise I'm a ghost keeping out of sight
Rub your eyes, you're a star in the summer night
This is love, this is war, it's insanity
Dementia, oh dementia
The first two lines. Yes he's the one that organizes all the exhibitions but it's not his paintings that are on display, he's not the one who gets swarmed by reporters wanting to know why the painting is the way it is. He made the sky but he didn't make the stars.
And then the second half,
Through the skies you're en route at the speed of light
So realize there's chaos in the air tonight
This is love, this is war, this is pure insanity
Dementia you're driving me crazy
Again, first two lines. Rafayel's first anecdote is from Thomas' POV and I re-read it today and felt kind of sad because he was an artist himself in the past, it's only after he met Rafayel that he switched to business to become his manager. (more on my feelings on that in the second song)
I think those first two lines are his thoughts after his first encounter with Rafayel and that is the exact moment he accepted, invited even, all the chaos that's currently in his life.
Deer in the Headlights
youtube
I thought about this one. I really did. But I think it's still a stretch and I'm definitely just projecting with this song in the background. I'm basically gonna go through Raffy's first anecdote and how the sequence of events fits with the song.
In the anecdote you see Thomas was kinda cocky at first, he wants his paintings to bring in the big bucks so he made it so his and Rafayel's paintings are in the same exhibition.
Then he actually sees Rafayel's paintings and I think his reaction can line up with the two verses in the song,
Met a girl in the parking lot,
And all I did was say hello
Her pepper spray made it rather hard for me to walk her home
But I guess that's the way it goes.
And
Met a girl with a graceful charm
But when beauty met the beast, he froze
Got the sense I was not her type by the black eye and bloody nose
But I guess that's the way it goes.
The 'girl' is Rafayel's painting while the 'pepper spray' and the 'black eye and bloody nose' is the slap in the face that comes with the realization that Rafayel's work thoroughly stomps the 'beast' he calls artwork.
Then we have the chorus,
Tell me again was it love at first sight?
When I walked by and you caught my eye
Didn't know love could shine this bright
Well smile because you're the deer in the headlights.
The fact that Rafayel's paintings are incredibly beautiful compared to his probably already hurt but I feel like it hurts more not knowing why something that's so similar to your own work is somehow miles ahead in terms of quality. (I mean the closest hint he got was some old guy saying 'the color in your painting is off', load of good that does)
It's suffocating to say but the female mystique takes my breath away
So give me a smile
Or give me a sneer
Cuz' I'm trying to guess here
He meets with Rafayel and what he sees is someone who is beyond his comprehension. Someone who doesn't mind crushing bugs or conches for three days just to get a gram of paint
He even asks him,
"Isn't it better that every color can be chemically synthesized? It makes them more accessible."
At the end of the song, when the last chorus plays it replaces the last line with,
I'm sorry I ever tried
and
If life was a game you would never play nice
If love was a beam you'd be blind in both eyes
Put your sunglasses on cuz' you're the deer in the headlights
Have you ever accepted that no matter how much you try, no matter how fast you run, you will never ever catch up to someone because they're just that good? They look at things in a way you could never imagine. I have, and I think Thomas has too.
So does that mean he fell into despair and that's why he quit art? No. He wouldn't be Rafayel's manager if that was the case.
Sometimes you will meet that person who is so far ahead of you and you will want nothing more than to do everything in your power to help them succeed in life. That's why Thomas works so hard for a guy who could not give more of a fuck about who sees his art because he's the same guy who taught him what it truly meant to be an artist and appreciate art.

Quiet Time 3/29
What am I feeling today?
Pretty good, I woke up on time and I’m going to be meeting with a friend soon that I haven’t seen in maybe 5 years? It’ll be really nice to catch up with her because we used to be very close. I’m feeling hopeful about today and looking forward to what I can accomplish!
Women’s Midweek Lesson - Teachability - Recap
The women in our church had an incredible lesson on teachability and as much as I’d love to share the whole thing, for this morning I’m just going to focus on what stood out to me🤗
How easy is it for someone to teach you?
We were asked this question at the beginning of the lesson and I originally put down a 7/8
Are you unteachable?
Proverbs 12:15 NIV
“The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice.”
Are we being fools? Am I so stuck in what I believe is right that I won’t allow anyone to tell me otherwise?
I know I can be like this sometimes. I acknowledge that I’m a stubborn person and I don’t like to say I’m picky but rather particular about how I like things done/handled. I know that stems from a desire of control and familiarity. I don’t like change, I don’t like unpredictability, I don’t like feeling unprepared so I stick with what I know.
To give examples, I read the last chapter of a book before starting it, I watch the same shows over and over again, I read the whole summary of a movie before watching it, I cook the same meals every day, I organize everything in the same spot and have designated hangers for each of my clothes, and there’s many more things I could list. These are all things I do to ensure my comfort and sense of control (I’ll touch more on the comfort zone later though).
Do you only do the bare minimum?
I know I am guilty of this. I don’t wish for my response to come across as making excuses but moreso and explanation. I take on a lot of tasks and responsibilities. I have a lot on my plate and they are all things that I have chosen to do. However, with all of those things, my time is constrained and most days I feel that I am stretched too thin. I block time for each responsibility but I feel as though I’m not always able to give my best or as much as I want to or something else will go unaccomplished.
This relates to my life as a disciple. I block an hour of time each morning for my quiet times but I feel that it’s the bare minimum. I wish I could do more but to do more, I’d have to sacrifice something else. My hope is that when summer comes around, many of my responsibilities will be freed up and I’ll have extra time to dive deeper into the study of the Word.
Do you talk a lot to avoid hearing advice?
Proverbs 10:19, 18:2 NIV
“Sin is not ended by multiplying words, but the prudent hold their tongues.”
“Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions.”
These two scriptures touch on holding the tongue and airing out one’s own opinion.
I go back and forth on this. Many people when they initially meet me regard me as shy and quiet. That’s how I’ve been labeled my whole life, I even remember times in school when some classmates would ask if I even talked🫥
However, I love to talk. I joke sometimes with my brother saying I’m a professional yapper. Or I’ll post things like this in reference to me:
Tumblr media
Which roughly translates too, I talk a lot, I’m like a podcast. My family knows this. I’ll talk to them all day long about everything and anything. Sometimes I don’t even say things of substance, just mumbling the theme songs to mario or star wars or making random sounds.
But I digress, see even in texting I talk too much.
Anyways, when I have time with my discipler, sometimes I worry that maybe I talk too much. I’ve tried to implement something new the past few months. I let her give me whatever lesson she has planned and once we finish that, I have my own list of things I want to discuss and take the end time to bring it up. I think this works and prevents me from wasting time talking but I’ll talk with her again today about all this and see if she thinks I talk too much because I think I do😅
Do you always look for comfort and familiarity? Are you prepared to get out of your comfort zone?
Proverbs 1:32 NIV
“For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them;”
I looked up the definitions to be sure and then synonyms. You can think of wayward as willful, headstrong, stubborn, and complacent as smug, pride, self-satisfaction.
I touched on this earlier, noting that I’m stubborn and like my comfort. But here it says that these same traits will kill and destroy me. That’s worrisome. I want to know the root of it though. Obviously people like to be comfortable, I feel that’s human nature.
But whats the root of my stubbornness? why do I feel the need to be in control? what’s the reason for me being so particular? why does it bother me so much when something is not done the way I like it/do it? (I’ll try reading this out or finding a plan to work through this)

Captain Jealous - William Lennox
Tumblr media
Pairing: William Lennox x reader
Requested: By @neemonroe​
Prompts: #20, #41, #42 from the smut-list. 
Warnings/notes: Takes place before Transformers. Not proofread so sorry in advance for any mistakes. Might be a little bit OOC but I still hope you’ll enjoy it. Please reblog and comment, it would make my day <3 
Wordcount: 3806
Summary: Flirting with Will only seems to result in annoyance, but when you finally turn your attention elsewhere, he’s not very pleased. 
Growing up, your mother had always told you to be the kind of woman that, when your feet hit the floor each morning, the Devil says, “oh crap, she’s up”. 
You lived by those words every day of your life, not once backing down from a fight, always standing up for what was right, as well as holding your own and never giving up on getting the things you wanted.
To most, you were one of the strongest and most admirable women they’d ever gotten the pleasure of meeting, but to others… well, let’s just say that you might have taken your mother’s words a bit too literally.
You were absolutely relentless when you put your mind to something and one of the many people who had fallen victim to that stubbornness was William Lennox.
Having enrolled in the army around the same time and being equally as good at what you did both back in training and in the field, the two of you had always respected each other and rather than being competitive, tried your best to lift each other up.
If one of you took control of a situation and started shouting out orders, the other didn’t question it, not even when Will eventually passed you in ranks. Because your minds worked in the exact same ways and so it didn’t really matter who gave the orders since the orders would be the same in the end, anyway, no matter whose lips they passed.
But you did differ in the way that Will much preferred to keep his personal life separated from his professional life, while you had a habit of letting them merge together, which inevitably resulted in you bringing the obvious attraction you felt for him with you out on the field.
Will was one of the people who thought you had taken your mother’s advice a bit too literally. That was what he told you on a daily basis as a response to your endless flirting, at least. But you knew better; you knew that he, at least to some extent, reciprocated your attractions, thanks to the few moments you had shared back in training.
“It was all fun and games back then”. He liked to say in that stern, military voice he had picked up the second he was promoted to Captain. “But this is the real deal. This is serious, and this, this thing you’re doing, is unprofessional.”
Ever the workaholic soldier, he was, at this point basically having dedicated his entire life to the job with no time to spare for fun. But no matter how hard he tried denying it, you knew that the two of you shared something, and so did every other member of your squad.
The only ones who seemed completely clueless to this were the newbies and as you gradually lost hope that your stubborn captain would ever admit and give in to his feelings, you found it to be a breath of fresh air to be able to spend time with people who weren’t constantly making suggestive remarks and fueling the attraction from your side.
One, in particular, caught your eye; tall, dark and handsome. He had yet to gain more muscle than the bare minimum and was, admittedly, kind of lanky. He was one year younger than you which was way too young seeing as you’d otherwise not even go for guys the same age as you, but he had banter and shared your flirty, dirty, cheeky sense of humor which, most definitely, made up for what he lacked in life-experience.
Will had smugly watched all of the newbies try to make a move on you only to be shot down quicker than your enemies, but then the last of the soldiers had swept up by your side, put a long, lean arm over your shoulders, and hit you with the cheesiest pick-up line he had ever heard. 
“How you doing, mama? You must be a parking ticket, ‘cuz you got fiiine written all over you.”
While Epps, Fig and the rest of the team broke out into laughter at the man’s poor technique, Will’s face transformed from smug to stone-cold murderer. 
Why? Because he knew that you didn’t want a man to tell you the stars reflected in your eyes or that you took their breath away with your beauty.
What you wanted was someone who could make you laugh, and when you threw your head back and joined in on the seemingly endless laughing fit, he was overtaken by a feeling so strong that he didn’t quite know what to do with himself.
And you noticed the change of demeanor immediately. The long, hard stares were only the tip of the iceberg, as was the way he would move closer to you and find a way to touch you as much as he possibly could without making it inappropriate or suspicious. 
The most extreme part of his change in behavior was how hard and strict he suddenly became with the rookie, who had quickly earned himself the reputation of your very own lapdog. 
He got scolded even for the most insignificant of mistakes, always got put on parade as the “example” in exercises in which he was usually thrown to the ground by Will himself and totally and completely humiliated.
Of course, those moments were just poor thinking on Will’s part seeing as you, besides being incredibly flirty and witty, also happened to be one of the most caring members of the team. 
Not only did he have to watch you laugh until your stomach hurt at the rookie’s bad jokes, but he also had to watch you comfort and reassure him after his one-on-one’s with the Captain.
And still, Will couldn’t stop himself from making the same mistake again and again, the consequences every time being that he was stuck watching you fuss over the younger soldier, because no matter how much it vexed him, he knew that you knew why he was acting the way he was. 
It was all a game to you and he played along because he wanted to keep showing you that he was the better option. Unluckily for the rookie, though, Will’s method of showing dominance was through physical contact.
You knew what Will was doing, how he was trying to punish the rookie, mildly and legally, of course, while simultaneously trying to show you that he was displeased with what was going on; that he wanted it to stop.
To a start, you only showed interest in the rookie to fuck with Will, but you quickly realized that he was actually a fun guy to hang around.
You enjoyed spending time with him. Not a second with him went without laughter and it was nice to be able to have fun like that for a change, and soon enough, you’d more or less forgotten about the silent war between the two of you.
You probably knew that it wasn’t a real interest, judging by the way you didn’t even care enough to remember his name, but it was fun to have another banter-buddy.
You’d had an identical friendship with Epps since the start, but two people could only keep the creativity up for so long; after a while, you just couldn’t come up with witty remarks and sarcastic jokes, anymore.
Up until then, Will had still kept his disapproval about the whole thing lowkey, because as long as you were only doing what you were doing to make him jealous, you were still interested. 
But when you started making moves on the rookie with genuine interest, without looking over at Will while doing it, it was no longer a game. 
While already on the topic of games, you were completely useless when it came to cards. It didn’t matter what game you played; you’d always end up as the loser. And although you enjoyed the banter that followed the teasing of your poor card-playing abilities, your patience wasn’t endless.
“Alright, I’m calling it.” You chuckled after losing the fifth game of the evening, dropping your thick deck of cards onto the table in front of you.
“Really? But it was going so good for you.” Epps wasted no time in firing back with feign-surprise, to which all you did was deliver a sharp slap to his head.
The table broke out into laughter. “You had that coming.” Fig shook his head, successfully starting a metaphorical war. 
You chuckled at their antics and pushed back your chair, getting to your feet and stretching your arms above your head.
“I’m gonna take a shower.” You said, and wasted no time in starting to collect your things.
The rookie’s attention was instantly piqued, and so was Will’s, who had been playing in silence nearly the entire time you’d been there.
“You know, I need to shower, too.” He stated, shrugging his shoulders with a smirk. “So, I should probably join you. You know, save water. Provide some extra heat.”
“Oh, yeah?” You raised a playful eyebrow and chuckled. “Tempting offer, but I’ll have to take a raincheck on that. Glad to know I have options, though. Maybe next time.”
Without waiting for his reply, you snatched your jacket from a nearby stool and playfully flicked his forehead, before turning around and walking away, completely oblivious of the pairs of eyes that kept watching you from the table you had just left.
You went about your shower routine like you always did; get undressed, wash hair, wash body, turn off the water in-between washes, get dried and get dressed again. Sharing the water with so many people could be hard, so you couldn’t really take the long, thoughtful showers you did when at home.
You were out again as quickly as you had gotten in and took your time getting lotioned and dressed, getting as much self-care into your night as you possibly could when at a military base.
“What are you doing with the new kid?”
You should’ve been significantly more aware of your surroundings as a soldier but in your defense, everyone dropped their guard to some extent when in a safe environment, so the scream that came out of your mouth at the sudden sound of a voice was completely justified.
“Jesus fucking Christ!” You swore as you jumped around, hastily reaching for your damp towel to cover your bare chest.
Coming face to face with a furious-looking Will, you glared. “Knock much?”
He didn’t look amused in the slightest, crossing his arms over his chest. “Knock, knock. Answer my question.”
Your mouth snapped shut at the dominance behind his voice and your eyes instinctively flickered to his biceps, veins and muscle more defined than ever in the way he had positioned his arms.
You were, however, proud to say that you were quick to come back to your senses, your eyes snapping back to meet his.
“Do you, maybe, oh, I don’t know, want to turn around?” You asked sarcastically with a raised eyebrow.
If you wanted him to turn around to gain privacy for yourself or simply because you couldn’t stop glancing at his bulging biceps, you didn’t know, but no matter the reason behind your wish, he didn’t move an inch.
“Answer the question.” Was all that he said, and you rolled your eyes.
“I’m just having a bit of fun.”
“Do you like him?” His questions kept shooting out as quickly as bullets and, again, you couldn’t refrain from rolling your eyes.
“He’s fun to be around.” You said simply, giving him a slightly annoyed glare before turning around and dropping the towel to continue getting dressed.
Will didn’t even try to cover the fact that he was checking you out, eyes shamelessly traveling your form and taking his sweet time to remember all the details his eyes could reach. 
It wasn’t like this was the first time one of you saw the other only partly clothed – you know, it was kind of inevitable for all of you to catch a glimpse of each other’s birthday suits once every blue moon - so once the shock of his sudden appearance had melted off, the nervousness followed.
“But do you like-like him?”
At the sound of that question in particular, you couldn’t help but snort.
“What is this? Third grade?” You threw him an amused look over your shoulder. “Say that I do like-like him, do you think I should ask Epps if he can give him a note asking him to check yes or no on whether or not he’d like to be my boyfriend?” You gave him a sarcastic pout.
At this point, Will was completely fed up with your inability to take anything seriously and spun you around by your arm. 
Luckily, you had just finished hooking your bra behind your back, said bra thankfully covering your chest from his view.
“Can you not make a joke about everything?” He asked, your wrist firmly held in his hand. “You have to realize how bad this looks to our superiors. First me, and now him. You can’t go around flirting with everyone. It makes you look unprofessional and uncommitted and that, in turn, makes it look like I can’t do my job.”  
“Is that really what’s got your big-soldier-boy panties in a twist, though?” You narrowed your eyes challengingly, and slowly fought your wrist out of his grip to, instead, grab a hold of his hand.
Further proving your point, he did nothing to protest, the glare remaining in his eyes, but the rest of his face being overtaken by exasperation.
“I just don’t get it.” He said. “You spend all this time pushing my buttons, being completely insufferable with your never-ending flirting, and now you’re suddenly interested in someone else?”
“I think the real question here is why you’re suddenly interested when I’ve spent so much time trying to get your attention to no avail and now, what? You suddenly want me because I might be interested in someone else?” You raised an eyebrow, and couldn’t deny the flash of heat going through your body when he lowly growled.
“I’ve never not wanted you.” He objected. “And you’re not interested in the rookie.”
“How would you know?”
“Because I know you.”
“So what you’re saying is, basically, that you can’t be with me, but I also can’t be interested in anyone else.”
“We both know that relationships in this work are highly frowned upon and-“
“Highly frowned upon, but not forbidden. You’ve still had the option to choose, and you actively chose not to act on it. Just making that clear.”
“I haven’t acted on it because it’s wrong.”
“If it’s so wrong…” You started, a sharp shiver going down your spine as your bare back hit the cold, wet tiles. “Then why did you just corner me in the shower?”
During that short minute of back-and-forth arguing, he had done just that, the two of you now standing chest against chest in the darkest corner of the room.
Your face was pulled into a determined glare, as was his, and the tension and intensity behind your shared stare was enough to have all of the previously discussed issues forgotten in less than a microsecond.  
The proximity between you in combination with the fact that you were at an obvious disadvantage in height and size made you feel both hot and cold at the same time. You felt like prey under his stare. You found yourself liking it all the while you were hating the feeling of being so powerless, and your inner conflict only added to the tension.
“You have no idea how much willpower it’s taken me to keep resisting you, to keep turning you down.” He spoke slowly, and lowly. “Each of my thoughts about you are improper and you put all of those thoughts into my head every day, pulling my strings, pushing my buttons, just walking around being… you.”
In one smooth motion, he intertwined his fingers with yours, and your eyes automatically flickered down to watch your now joined-together digits; rough and calloused meeting even rougher and more calloused.
“I like you. I care about you. More than I should.” He continued, prompting you to look back up with an eyebrow raised.
“And?” 
“What do you want me to say?” He asked, exasperated and impatient. “Do you want me to say that I want to be with you? Because I do. I. Want. To. Be. With. You.”
You snickered at his over-dramatic emphasizing, finding it nothing short of amusing that he’d been protesting and telling you how wrong it was only seconds before, and now he was more or less proclaiming his love for you. That, more than anything, just showed how stubborn he was.
“Took you long enough.” You mused, leaning your head back into the wall and smirking, all while looking him straight in the eye. “It’s just too bad that I’ve grown so fond of the rookie. You know, he’s quite-“
Before you could finish your sentence, you were interrupted by Will’s lips crashing into yours, roughly and urgently. In the process, you were pushed even further into the wall behind you, and as the sudden force threw you off balance, you instinctively reacted by moving your arms up to his neck to hold yourself in place.
In return, his hands moved to each side of your waist, big, warm hands squeezing down on the flesh that had long ago turned cold from being bare in the nippy air for so long.
You had always imagined what it would feel like to be touched by him like this, but not even your wildest imagination could compare to the intensity of the tingles that spread through your stomach and chest.
Your hands slowly sneaked up the back of his neck, your body reacting automatically, but just as you were about to tousle your fingers in his hair, the moment ended when he pulled away.
Both of you were left panting in silence, the only sounds available for your ears to hear being your ragged breaths and the rhythmic dripping of the shower beside you.
“Wow, Captain.” You were the first one to speak. “I knew you were hot for me, but try to keep it in your pants. That was hardly professional.”
Just like that, your sarcastic persona returned as if it had never left in the first place, your eyes opening after having been closed up until then and meeting his with a playful grin.
A deep chuckle rumbled through his chest. “I’m pretty sure you threw professional straight out the window the first time we met.” He pointed out and much to your dismay, stepped back. “Are you going to stop encouraging the rookie, now?”
Getting straight to the point, okay.
“I don’t know…” You shrugged casually, bringing your hand up to your face to inspect your nails and peeking up at him through your lashes with a devilish smirk. “Jealousy looks kinda good on you.”
“I’m not jealous!” He exclaimed quickly, and you immediately raised an eyebrow as a way to say ‘really?’
“I’m not jealous.” He repeated, this time in a lower, calmer tone. “It’s just, you’re mine.”
Those two words alone were enough to make you inwardly groan, like one would when eating that first scoop of ice cream after not having been able to eat any in a week. Or a day.
But in a brave attempt to not make a fool of yourself, you remained in your teasing element, raising your eyebrows and hitting him back with a feign-uncaring: “Is that so?”
To that, he stepped closer to you once again, brought his hands up to cradle your cheeks, and playfully glared.
“Stop flirting with the rookie.” He repeated.
“Is that an order?” You asked.
“I’m asking politely.” He lied.
“Hmmm….” You hummed, pretending to think only for a moment, before flashing him a shit-eating grin. “No. I’m having way too much fun watching you squirm.”
Still leaning against the wall, you carefully pushed yourself up, pushed your chest against his and watched in success as his eyes flickered down.
Taking your sweet time, you brought your hands up to his chest with agonizingly slow movements and leaned your head up to his.
His breath shook as you brushed your lips over his and whispered against them lowly. 
“You’re hot when you’re mad.”
Will pushed his head forward with obvious intentions, but before he could press his lips against yours, you slid out of the tight corner, resulting in him having to catch himself on the wall left behind.
With a proud smile, you walked over to the bench by which you had previously been working on getting dressed and snatched your shirt where it laid.
“You’ll drive me crazy before all this is over, you know that?” Will spoke from behind you, which only made your smile widen.
Quickly pulling on your shirt and collecting the rest of your things, you turned around and walked back up to him where he still stood in the shower.
“That’s always been the plan.” You replied simply, placing a quick peck to the corner of his mouth before once again turning around and walking away, this time leaving him completely alone in the room.
He had to take a few moments to collect himself and regain his composure, and by the time he walked back out, you were nowhere in sight. 
With only you on his mind, he headed back to the table where the rest of the team were still playing cards, and sat down in the chair he had occupied before leaving.
“So, now that it’s just us here, I could use some advice on-“ The rookie wasted no time, but didn’t get to finish.
“You couldn’t handle her even if she came with instructions, kid.” Will interrupted without even looking at him, reading his mind without struggle since the person of his interest was one they had in common.
Growing up, your mother had always told you to be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor each morning, the Devil says, “oh crap, she’s up”. 
You lived by those words every day of your life, not once backing down from a fight, always standing up for what was right, as well as holding your own and never giving up on getting the things you wanted.
To some, this was an admirable quality while, to others, you might have taken your mother’s words a bit too literally.
When it came to Will? Well, he just had nothing bad to say about you. You might’ve gotten on his nerves ninety-nine percent of the time, and been completely and utterly insufferable, but God did he love it.
Taglist: let me know if you want to be tagged in any future Will Lennox fics!

curse your dad
Movie/Game/Show: Marvel Dynamic: Peter Parker/Reader (Scott Lang/Reader (Platonic)) Warnings: peter’s father figure death curse Summary: Peter meets your dad and is actually worried when he starts liking him. Word Count: 1.4 K ~~~
Scott bounces his leg as he sits across from Peter at the dining table, an awkward smile strapping itself to his lips, “So, do you… control spiders?”
Peter chuckles slightly, “Do you control ants?”
“Yeah,” Scott lights up, “It’s pretty cool, actually.”
“Oh,” well now he feels bad, “uh, no. I don’t control spiders. I just have some similar abilities to them. That’s all.”
Silence settles between the two once again, Scott leaning up out of his chair to peek at the upper stairs, “So, you and my daughter. She seems really happy with you.”
“Yeah, she’s great,” Peter nods, a genuine, soft grin rising at his lips, “Really nice and she just listens. I don’t even know how to describe it but she’s so- “
“Great at understanding? Yeah, she gets it from her mom,” Scott taps his fingers against the table, “Hey, Peter, look, I don’t wanna be one of those dads that’s all,” he brings both hands up in a vague choking gesture and throttles them about, “you know? I just wanna make sure my daughter’s happy, that’s all that matters to me. So, the real question I like to ask to all her partners is this…”
Peter straightens up, nodding along, “What is it, sir?”
“Don’t call me ‘sir’,” Scott puts up a finger to stop the boy, “Way too formal.”
“Sorry, sir- Scott. Mister Scott. Sorry, Scott.”
“No worries, now, the real question I have - is this,” your father sets both hands on the table, palms down, “You have a Baja Blast, you asked if my precious girl wanted one and she said no, but now she wants some of yours - what do you do?”
“Let her have as much as she wants,” Peter shrugs immediately, “I mean, it’d be a little weird to get upset if she wanted some after saying she didn’t. People change their minds. Besides, how could I deny her a drink - it’s like the bare minimum.”
Peter almost begins rethinking his answer when Scott’s silence rings through the room, then a broad grin smears over the older man’s face.
Scott nods and pats the smooth wood table, “I like that answer, Peter. You’re a good guy, which I already guessed because you were Spider-Man…” he tips his head to the side slightly, “Even though you were with Iron Man.”
At the mention of his former mentor, Peter feels his chest ache - it’d been years, sure, but it still hurts. He misses Tony.
“Thanks, s- Scott.”
“Yeah, man, hey! We should hang out- like get tiny and go into a LEGO castle or something. I don’t know if you’ve ever been in one, but they’re actually pretty fun.”
Peter’s jaw nearly drops open at the offer, “Oh my God, you have no idea how much physical pain it puts me in to turn this down, but I can’t go tiny like you.”
“Dude, no worries,” Scott tosses his hands up, “We can just make the LEGO castle big!”
“Really?” Peter leans forward against the table, “Do you like Star Wars? Cuz my friend, Ned, and I have a Death Star replica and I managed to rig it to fly.”
“No way, how?”
Leaning back, Peter claps his hands, “Come find out!”
“Are you two making plans?” you come down the stairs to find your father and boyfriend thoroughly engaged in conversation with one another.
“You!” your father points directly at you as you come to stand behind Peter, settling your hands on his shoulders, “You didn’t tell me your boyfriend was actually cool!”
“Sorry, Dad,” you sarcastically huff, “If only I’d known you wanted to hang out with my boyfriend.”
“I told you I wanted to take him fishing.”
“I assumed that was a joke!”
“I hate fishing,” Peter mumbles, largely without thinking.
“No way!” Scott points at the teenager, “Me too!”
“Then why - “ you shake your head, “Whatever,” leaning down, you rest your chin on Peter’s shoulder, “Ready to go, bubs?”
“Oh, yeah, of course,” he pushes away from the table and turns, “You look great,” cupping your cheeks, he presses a kiss to your forehead before turning back to Scott, “We should still plan that giant Death Star, though.”
“I’m glad you like my dad,” you begin once you and Peter are outside, “And he likes you, too. It would’ve been awkward if you two didn’t get along.”
“Yeah, your dad’s cool, I just don’t wanna curse him or something.”
You pause to process his words before continuing down to the car, “What?”
“You know, like, curse,” Peter shrugs, swinging open the car door, “MJ said I had a father figure curse cuz my dad, Uncle Ben, and Mr. Stark are all… you know.”
“MJ - God, Peter, don’t listen to her. I’m sure it was just a joke.”
“Well, yeah it was, but still.”
“You’re not gonna curse my dad, Peter, don’t worry about it.”
“Are you sure?”
“Certain.”
“How? How are you certain?”
“I’ll cancel it out, how ‘bout that?”
The topic is dropped as you drive towards the restaurant for that evening’s date night location. Traded in for trivials such as a cat you’d seen on the street, a flower Peter came across on patrol that reminded him of you, if aliens have religions (and consequently how to bring that topic up to Rocket and/or Groot), or if the world is further from flying cars than closer since Howard Stark. Something, anything, to get Peter’s mind off of his nonexistent curse.
“I heard you guys from upstairs,” you suddenly say while sitting across from Peter at the table.
“Oh,” Peter stirs the ice in his coke with his straw, nodding alongside a smile, “sorry to have disturbed you.”
“No, I just- I only bring it up because I heard him ask you the Baja Blast question.”
“Ah, so it’s a recurring thing,” he laughs and takes a sip from his drink, “Thought I was special.”
“Sorry, no,” you tap your boyfriend’s shoe under the table, “But, uhm, yeah. My dad, he’s uh, he’s never given such a good reaction before.”
“Wait, seriously?”
“Yeah! He’s usually just ‘oh, okay’ or something,” you shrug, reaching across the table to take one of Peter’s hands, “To be fair, he usually gets like ‘let her have a sip’ or ‘too bad’ as an answer.”
“Oh my God,” Peter leans forward slightly, eyebrows raised, “You’ve dated ‘too bad’ people? You poor thing.”
“Okay, man, don’t make fun of me.”
“What? Me?” his free hand comes up to rest over his heart, “I would never, I can’t believe you would even suggest that.”
“Hm, yeah. Okay, dude.”
There’s a brief lull in conversation before Peter speaks again, “Hypothetically, though, if I did curse your dad, would you be mad at me?”
“You won’t curse my dad!”
“But hypothetically!”
“Honestly?” you purse your lips with a slight nod, “Yeah, I think I’d be a little peeved but that’ll never come up because you’re never going to curse my dad.”
“You don’t know that, Lang,” he points a fork at you, “You’re not a fortune teller.”
“That’s where you’re wrong, my dad actually taught me magic - I’m a certified fortune teller.”
“He specializes in close-up magic. With cards.”
You narrow your eyes at the boy, “And you know that specificality because…?”
“He told me while you were getting your keys, showed me a trick - it was actually kinda cool,” Peter pokes your forearm, “I like poking you.”
“Adorable,” you tilt your head, reaching over to poke at his forearm as well, “I like poking you, too.”
“I don’t wanna curse your dad.”
“Babe,” you sigh slightly, taking both of your boyfriend’s hands in your own, shaking your head, “you won’t curse Scott Lang, the curse would just roll off him. He’s like a dolphin.”
“You said that backwards, but thank you,” he nods, leaning over to kiss your forehead, “I love you. Just so you know.”
“I love you too, dork, now stop talking about my dad. I love the guy but if I start associating you two I’ll never recover.”
“Alright, fine, I guess I won’t talk about your dad more than I talk to you,” he huffs playfully, “Fine, then.”
“Really though,” you pat his forearm, “you’re not cursed.”
“I know. I know. Yeah. It’s just… I know.”
“Good, and I’ll keep reminding you.”
“Gonna make me go fishing with your dad?”
“Oh, for sure. You’ll both hate it. I hope you have fun.”
“Thanks, babe.”
“Anything for you.”

Hard At Work - Kuroo Tetsuro
a/n: HERE IT IS!!!!! it’s really bad. i struggled. i just wanted to get it over with but this idea weighed heavily on my mind for so long and i cant seem to get it out the way i want so this is the bare minimum with what i was trying to go for sorry :/
Warnings: 18+ minors DNI, timeskip!kuroo, dom!kuroo, language, teasing, literally half the fic is foreplay oops, smut, oral sex, unprotected sex (no glove no love y’all), kuroo smacks your ass once, sir kink?, SIZE KINK, belly bulge, overstim, squirting, creampie, as always my shitty writing. *thoughts in italics… if i forgot a warning pls lmk*
Summary: you never thought you’d find yourself in this situation, let alone with the man in charge of your paycheck. luckily those files weren’t that important.
word count: 4.7K
You’ve only been working in this position for about two months now, assistant to one of the smartest sports promoters in the country. It’s a wonderful job and you get to meet star athletes almost every day, but what wasn't in the job description was the super hot promoter that you would be working under literally. If you thought it was hard coming into work with someone so damn attractive, the amount of teasing that went on in and outside of the office was insufferable.
Your day began like every other; come in, bring Kuroo some coffee, a full list of the day's meetings and tidy up in his office. While setting the coffee on his desk, you anticipate what comment he’ll make about the lack of a baked good to accompany his beverage.
“Awe Y/n, looks like you forgot to bring something to munch on again,” he was currently going through emails while twirling a pen in his hand. That scheming smirk that you’ve come to recognize all too well plastered all over his smug face. 
“I’m sorry, Kuroo, they were all out at the café.” You placed your belongings on the small desk located in the corner of his office, spending some time to go over today's schedule as well as sort through a few contracts and client files.
“It’s all good,” he let out a soft chuckle. “You could always let me eat you instead, shortcake.”
You gave a pointed glare to the man before sighing and closing the file cabinet you just finished sorting. “I think it’s best if we get to work, we’ve got a long day ahead of us, sir.” he sends the smallest smirk in your direction then returns to his tasks. Shit... Did I mean to make it come out like that? Whatever he always teases the ever-living hell out of me so it's about time I had my share of the fun too, it’s only fair. Right?
Most of the day was uneventful, the typical routine coming and going without any interruptions. At around 4 pm though, you found yourself swamped with far more paperwork to go through than usual as well as having to scan and digitally file. We didn't have this many meetings today, did we? I just did a stack like this… Most of these need Kuroo’s signature, they shouldn't be on my desk.
Raising your head you shifted your gaze, letting your eyes land on him. He’s seated only ten feet in front of you behind his desk but today it seems like an entire mile. Did he always look that good going through his messages?
While gathering the papers that were wrongfully in your pile and saying a quick prayer to anyone out there, you walked over to sit in one of the matching seats opposite him. Placing the folder down softly to not mess up the flow of his work. He instinctively moves his elbow away to make room for the file and side-eyes it momentarily.
“Just give me two minutes here and I’m all yours sugar,” he says with a quick smile in your direction.
Humming your response and relaxing into the chair you take the time to admire his features. The messy but somehow put together hair that, according to his long-term clients and friends, has been that way since childhood. The sharp features of his cheeks and jaw, his pink lips permanently resting in his signature smirk that can mean an infinite number of things as you’ve come to find out. A muscular neck that is far too appealing for your taste, broad shoulders leading to strong arms, and an equally muscular chest. It’s no doubt that he is built like a god under that dress shirt, it fits him so perfectly it's almost offensive.
You’re so caught up in your thoughts of the man in front of you that you don't even notice how he moves his body, giving all his attention to you.
“Stare any longer sweet girl and you're gonna start drooling all over that cute outfit of yours.” His deep chuckle vibrates through you, definitely causing something to happen deep in the pit of your stomach. Your body was so hot and your throat was so damn dry from the way he was looking back at you. Is he undressing me with his eyes? Fuck! I’m one to talk, I’m doing the same thing.
“Uh it looks like some papers of yours got in my pile, if you can sign them, I’ll finish scanning and get out of your hair.” 
You sat up to hand him a pen then rest your palms against the desk. Those pieces of paper are the only thing separating the two of you and it helps you keep a grasp on reality for the time being.
He toyed with the edges of the folder, lifting just the corner, not even bothering to read over the contents. “Yeah, I put them there thinking it would keep you in the office just a bit longer but you caught on to my plan faster than I thought.” He met your gaze with a semi defeated smile.
“You thought I wouldn't notice at all? Kuroo, I thought you were supposed to be the mega genius here because I had just filed all of those this morning.” A sudden boost of confidence ran through your body and your hands found their way to the folder and started mimicking his previous action that, hopefully, would drive him just as crazy as it did you. Your cold fingers delicately traced above his watch then to his forearms, stopping right where he cuffed his sleeves. A small hiss escaped him through his teeth followed by an airy laugh.
“Call it an experiment.” You couldn't help but giggle at his response.
He suddenly moved back, completely reclining and relaxing in his chair. He went to loosen up the tie around his neck and even went as far as to open two buttons on the restricting shirt. Cheeky bastard.
Kuroo cleared his throat. Resting his elbow against the arm of his chair, chin resting in the palm of his hand. “I bet I can tell what you're thinking right now, shortcake,” he continued to roll his chair back slightly.
Without giving a second thought you moved around to his side of the desk, sitting and leaning on the end farthest from him. You conjured up the best comeback your normally shy and reserved self would never think of, but right now, it's war.
“Oya oya? Tell me, boss, what am I thinking right now?” you finally turned your gaze towards him, pulling off the most convincing innocent eyes you had.
He stood up from his seat, taking the slowest steps toward you and stood right beside your small body. His large hands are dangerously close to the edge of your skirt. If he could feel how hard your heart was beating in your chest you’d be done for. 
That contagious laughter of his booming throughout the room once more. He’ll never admit it but your teasing words sound a lot like him.
“Well if the way you're clenching the hell out of your thighs right now isn't the biggest sign.” His calloused fingers finally make contact with the exposed skin on your legs and slowly rise to trace the curves of your body. Finding a place to rest on your jaw with his thumb gripping your chin forcing you to look directly at him. “I’d say you're thinking of all the different ways I could make you cum on my desk,” his thumb began to slowly trace your lower lip.
You were barely aware of the small moan you let out while fluttering your eyes closed. “Let's say you're right Kuroo,” you nearly choked on the lack of saliva in your throat. “What else am I thinking?” your response barely above a pathetic whimper.
He let out a happy sigh as he placed his thumb between your lips, pressing slightly to signal you to open up. That sigh quickly turned into a small moan when you let your tongue slip from your mouth and wrapped your lips around the digit. Years of hard work and skill evident in the sensation of his thumb pressing against your tongue.
“You’re probably thinking about my cock filling every inch of your tight little pussy,” he moved to stand between your legs, his other hand finding residence on your hip and squeezing the clothed flesh possessively. “Or maybe you’re thinking you might just have the upper hand here because you caught on to my little trick,” he began to mess with the hook and zipper on the side of your skirt. Lowering the piece of flimsy metal agonizingly slow. 
“If that’s the case then you're seriously mistaken sweetheart also when it's just us, call me Tetsuro,” he whispered his name in your ear and if you weren't trying to match his teasing energy, you would’ve made the first move but the build-up was so much better.
He finally let go of the zipper on your skirt and began to pull it slowly down your thighs, all while maintaining eye contact. He slowly removed his finger from your mouth and trailed any lingering saliva along your bottom lip and down your jaw before his hand found comfort around your neck, offering the softest squeeze, eliciting yet another breathy moan from your lips. If only you knew how much those sounds of yours were causing him to short circuit.
“Tetsuro. If there’s anything I know very well, it's my place in this office.” You kept steady eye contact while attempting to squeeze your thighs together. 
Kuroo noticed your struggles and continued to strip the skirt from your body. Your lower half was beginning to burn with anticipation. His long fingers then traced the outline of your panties, if he looked any closer he would see the little wet spot forming right at your entrance. He lightly pulled on the thin material and snapped it back against your body, a small chuckle rising from deep in his chest because of how cute and responsive you are to his actions.
“And where is that exactly?” He can't help but tease you, even though his cock is absolutely suffocating, he still wants to make sure you know who’s in charge. 
“I'm an employee on your payroll, aren't I?” your voice was so soft, focusing more on steadying your breathing. He began to run the back of his hand along your hip and grazed his knuckles against the area that you ache for him the most, a throaty sigh escapes you and some of that newfound confidence as well. Where the hell did she come from?
“It only makes sense that my position is under you.” Kuroo is slightly surprised by your response but he can tell that you’ve had enough of his teasing just like he’s had enough of having to come up with new ways to fluster you. Now it seems that all his prayers are being answered, he finally has you to himself all alone in the office, and there’s only one thing on his mind after hearing the words slip from your lips. “That’s definitely the right answer, but I hope you don’t mind if I spend some time on you first?”
His fingers were now pulling the fabric of your panties down and off your body, he never breaks eye contact, rubbing his hands all over your legs and occasionally squeezing your soft skin. He finally returned to eye level and placed both hands on your cheeks, bringing you in for a hot and desperate kiss. He managed to push you further onto the desk so you can rest comfortably, the cold sensation of the wood on your bare skin forced a tiny gasp to escape. 
Kuroo began to play with the buttons of your blouse, pulling on the material. By the time he gets to the last button, you’re halfway done removing his, finally seeing the strong body underneath it all. Hot. Once he had you completely undressed he took a single step back. Biting his lip and admiring your body.
“You’re so god damn sexy.” He came back to you, hot mouth leaving kisses all over your neck and chest. He spent some time on each of your breasts, sucking and biting on your sensitive nipples, sending waves of pleasure straight to your core. His hands hooked under your knees and spread your legs. You're practically dripping onto his desk by now and can’t help but grind your hips against nothing, desperate for some sort of relief. 
“Someone's a little needy, huh?” his breath was hot against your stomach and fingers digging into the meat of your thigh. Once he got on his knees in front of you, his fingers found their way to your throbbing center. Slowly parting your folds and massaging your sensitive hole with perfect pressure. “Fuck. You’re so fuckin’ wet too,” with his other hand he used his thumb to play with your clit. You threw your head back, letting out a soft moan as you made contact with the desk below.
Kuroo wasted no time putting your legs over his shoulders, leaving wet kisses along your thighs and placing several on your hips. He finally placed a kiss on your clit, causing you to yelp and buck your hips against his face. “You taste better than I imagined baby girl,” he licked a stripe through your folds, then sucked on your clit softly. “Mmm it feels so good!” you’re a moaning, whimpering mess already. Kuroo has to use his hands to keep you still but he’s humming happily while lapping up all you have to offer him and you can't help but shake. “Am I making you feel good, pretty girl? Your cute little pussy is so sensitive huh?” his tongue was replaced with one of his fingers gathering up your slick and slowly entering you.
“Yes yes fuck I love it. I want your cock. Please.” you looked at him through lidded eyes sucking your bottom lip harshly in between your teeth. He can't help but smile at how cute you look begging for him. “Relax baby girl, we’ll both get what we want but I gotta work you up a bit more.” He added another finger curling them a little to find your sweet spot, while sucking on your clit. He knew he found it when you squeezed your thighs around him and called out his name. Your walls twitching around his fingers, reaching your first climax of the day. 
He pulled his fingers out of you and brought them to his mouth, sucking off every bit of your juices, moaning in sheer delight. Another kiss was placed on your clit before he began a trail of them to your neck and jaw, teeth sinking into your skin. One of his hands caressed your cheek as he kissed you on the lips, your taste and his hot breath sending another wave of arousal through you and you moan into his mouth. He pulls away and rests his forehead against yours. “Wanna make you cum with my tongue one more time okay sweetheart?”
You wanted to whine and throw a fit but his mouth was magical and you weren't one to complain. With a small ‘okay’ and another kiss on the lips he made his way to your pussy once more, already swollen and ridiculously sensitive. He began with the same rhythm as before, soft groans of satisfaction driving you wild. The grinding of your hips against his face only became more violent when he added his long fingers. Finding that same spot as earlier. 
“F-fuck oh fuck I’m gonna cum!” you arched your back off the desk and brought a hand to your chest massaging squeezing your nipples. The only thing you hear before your orgasm rips through you is the loud squelching of fingers inside your pussy and his moans of praise. When you open your eyes and finally come back to earth, you see Kuroos face, hand and wrist covered in your juices. “I haven't even fucked you yet and you squirted just like that? You're gonna be the death of me Y/n.” 
You giggled a little, hiding your face in embarrassment, body still trembling from the intense orgasm. Of course that smart mouth of his is sinfully skilled. He moved your hands out of the way, intertwining his with yours, lifting you and pulling you into another kiss. 
You let go of his hands running yours along his toned chest, leaving small scratches, quickly removing his belt and slacks. You squeal at how big he looks in his boxers, his cock begging to be free. Pulling the waistband down and letting it drop to his feet, you moan at the sight. A small bead of precum forming at the tip, now an angry red from being neglected for so long. “I wanna make you feel good too Tetsu.” 
Before you can drop to your knees for him he puts his hands on your hips, rubbing soothing circles. “Next time gorgeous, I wanna feel you right now.” he lifted you off the ground, legs wrapping around his waist and lips meeting in a sloppy mess of teeth and tongue. One of his hands made their way to your ass, squeezing softly before landing a smack. You moaned in response and ground your hips against his throbbing member, the tip creating glorious friction against your folds. He finally placed you back on the desk then fisted his cock a few times, running the tip against your folds and teasing your entrance.
“Want you inside me now Tetsuro. Please.” your chest was heaving in desperation and he loved that he made you like this. “Okay sweet girl. If it’s too much let me know.” You gave him a small nod and he kissed you while letting himself slip inside your warm walls. You were already so wet from before but he was so long and thick that the intrusion was slightly painful. 
“Holy shit! you’re so damn tight.” he says through gritted teeth. 
You wrap your arms around his neck, fingers tugging softly on his hair when you feel him bottom out inside you. He lets out a few puffs of air because it's taking all his willpower not to cum with the way your pussy is gripping onto him right now. You let out a few whimpers and he checks your face for any signs of discomfort before retracting his hips and thrusting into you. You make eye contact with him, he’s absolutely mesmerizing with that lusty look in his eye and a small layer of sweat on his forehead. 
“S-so big Tetsu. It feels so good.” you squeeze your legs wrapped around his waist, bringing him closer to you and he groans in response. He begins to thrust into you slowly, still trying to keep his cool but finding that sweet spot inside you every time. “Oh you're gonna make me cum with the way you are clampin’ down on my cock like that sweet thing.” he shifts the angle of his thrusts and cages your head between his arms. His large upper body casting a shadow over you that makes you shiver. You can see the way the muscles on his forearms and biceps are flexing with every thrust. How he’s looking down at where you two are connected in pure fascination, tugging his lip between his teeth.
Using his arms to push off the desk, he tugs your hips to the edge and keeps his fingers embedded in the soft flesh, meeting each of his thrusts. You lift yourself as well, resting on your elbows and watching him. You notice a small bump on your belly each time his hips meet yours and it's enough to have you roll your eyes back. Holy fuck now that’s different. Kuroo noticed your surprise and pressed a hand against your tummy, making you feel him even deeper if possible. 
“I’m right there baby girl. Can you feel it?” You feel as though you're being split open but it hurts so good. His stare and dominating aura so sinful and addictive, you know you're in trouble. “Yes it feels so good. I love your cock.” He feels you fluttering around him and picks up his pace. The sharp sound of skin slapping echoes throughout the office along with his animalistic growls. 
“Is that right. You gonna cum on this cock, like a good girl?” his thumb found your clit, working small circles. “Make a mess all over my desk? Let me cum inside this tight pussy?” his thrusts were reaching deep, that bulge in your tummy only looking bigger now. You tried meeting his thrusts halfway, your hand gripped his wrist and you neared another orgasm. “Y-yeah, oh fuck. please. I wanna cum so bad. wanna make you feel good too, sir.” 
At the last word you said he thrusted into you once more. your walls fluttering around him bringing his release as well, he hunched over with a groan and found your lips as he spilled his seed inside you. The warmth filling you up and making you feel nothing but bliss. Your ankles locked around his waist, heels digging into his lower back, keeping him buried inside you while you caught your breath’s. 
He pulled away first, watching as his cock slipped from your tight hole, both of you letting out a sharp breath from the sensitivity. His cum followed right after, dripping down onto his desk. The sight of your clenching pussy and the mess was enough to get him hard again. He wants as much as you’re willing to give him. Lifting your upper body he pulls you in for another kiss, this one a bit sweeter. 
You pulled away and began kissing his jaw. “I want more.” You said looking up at him with bright eyes. Your makeup is messy but you still look delicious as ever. 
He gave you a playful grin and a peck on the lips. “You read my mind gorgeous.” 
He spun you around and bent you over the desk, pressing your body into the wood but not enough to hurt. His fingers slowly ran down your spine, leaving goosebumps in their wake. You turn your head slightly so you can see him, right now he looks intimidating as ever. Large muscular body towering over you, one hand gripping your ass and the other teasing the head of his cock along your folds. He can see how your dripping hole is clenching around nothing, your frame trembling from previous orgasms. He's so damn overjoyed that he slips right inside you, not wanting to waste another second outside of your tight pussy. 
The stretch that he provided was nothing you've felt before, he was definitely the biggest you’ve been with. You felt every ridge and vein, every twitch, you still feel him in your stomach. Nothing beat how warm he is though, flooding every nerve with heat and electricity. 
He set a brutal pace, balls slapping against your clit each time, making you cry out and moan incoherent versions of his name. His left hand gripped your thigh and hitched your leg on the desk, the shift in position causing him to drag the tip of his cock perfectly against your g-spot. “Right there Tetsuro, feels so fucking good.” you ached your back in ecstasy. 
The hand he had hooked under your knee creeped up your thigh and rested on your hip. He used the other to raise you off the desk and wrap around you. His warm hard chest pressing into your back and his large, rough palms massaged your tits. You can feel his warm breath on your ear and you shiver when he groans. The deep rumble of his chest crashing into you like a wave. 
Hearing his moans right in your ear was like heaven, the feeling of his cock twitching inside tells you he's close. “Oh fuck I’m gonna cum so fuckin’ hard. Your little cunt’s squeezing me so fuckin’ tight. You gonna be a good girl and let me cum inside again?” his rough pounding turned into slow, deep strokes. Slamming into your sweet spot with pin-point accuracy.
“Please. Feels so good and I want your cum. Want it in me so bad.” his hand moved to your jaw turning your head, squishing your cheeks and leaving a sloppy kiss against your lips. You brought your arm up, grabbing his face, pulling him closer. You sucked his bottom lip between your teeth and he growled in response, slow thrusts gaining some more speed.
The hand he had on your hip made its way in front of you, fingers trailing softly against your swollen clit. Tears were pricking the corners of your eyes from overstimulation but you loved every second of it. “I want you to milk my cock, take all your filling like a good little shortcake and make a mess on this desk. Can you do that for me?” you only nod and moan your answer.
The intense eye contact between the two of you, mixed with his hard thrusts and rough fingers, make that tingling feeling in your core seem like the first one all over again. Your head falls back against his chest as your body locks up and shakes uncontrollably, the tight fluttering of your walls brought his release as well. 
You can feel his warm load inside as he keeps fucking into you, allowing you both to ride out the intense wave of pleasure. All while massaging your clit, only bringing on another orgasm, making you squirt once more on his hand and desk. Feeling it drip down your legs, surely his too. 
Once the rush of euphoria passed, you both fell forward, his cock still inside you as you both caught your breath. You were still quivering with aftershocks of pleasure when he slipped out of you, a mixture of both of your cum spilling onto the floor and down your thighs. 
He stumbled back onto his chair and took a deep breath. Hypnotized by the way you’re still spread out for him to see, the beautiful sight of your plump ass becoming something he wants all the time. You finally sit up slowly turning to lean against the desk, legs feeling like noodles. Both of you catching the other staring and letting out a fit of laughter. He reached for your hand and pulled you down on the chair with him to relax, wrapping his strong arms around you. 
“So, I was thinking, maybe I should give you a promotion.” he kissed the top of your head and you pinched his nipple teasingly. “Stop fucking around Tetsu.” he smirked and gave you a knowing smirk. 
“We just did, sweet heart.” you rolled your eyes and nuzzled into his neck. 
------------------------------------------------------
After resting for a while the two of you got cleaned up and dressed, tidying up the office so it didn't look like two people just fucked in it. Once you were done you both stood and looked out the window of his office, watching the sun disappear and the stars start to shine. He made a sound like he just remembered something. 
“Do you wanna go out to get something to eat?” he looks at you while putting his coat on.
“I’d love to, I’m starving,” you grabbed your purse and put on your coat as well. “Oh, uh what time is it?” you ask him. 
He lifted the sleeve of his jacket, looking at his watch and raising a brow. “That’s weird. My watch is stuck at 4:45.” you look at him in confusion. 
A sudden burst of wheezing laughter echoes through the walls and you’re still wondering what’s so funny. He turns to you and looks at your face, melting at how cute and innocent you looked. 
“I think you ruined my watch, Y/n.” he brings a hand up to your face moving a piece of hair that was out of place. You can't help but blush at his words, instantly turning away from him and opening the doors to his office.
“Well we’re even now because you ruined any other man for me.” You walked ahead of him in annoyance but he knows it won't last long.
He’ll have you screaming his name again in his bed in no time. 
I wonder if he was joking about that promotion though…

Andor starts small. To the point that the first 4 episodes may be even hard to get into if you didn’t have the resolve to push through. But it steadily becomes bigger and starts hyping you up pretty well around the middle of the story (almost like a movie). I have my issues with the show. One of them being the fact that there are still not as many women in the Galaxy as I would like to see, but the show definitely does better than any other one before it when it comes to the female representation (as long as you are willing to settle on not asking why there are not many black women there). By all means and purposes, I see it as a good thing that Andor tries to do better with representing people. It is a sign that maybe step by step franchise will change, but I won’t hold my breath, because one show that tries harder than the others doesn’t mean the next one will try to do the same. We have to always be vigilant and not let them think that giving people the bare minimum that should be there from the start, that should be at point 0 of the norm, instead of the point 100, is enough to satisfy us.
It’s ok to like Andor, but it is also ok to be angry that it pushes only to a certain point. Anyway, what I wanted to talk about isn’t that, but I had to mention it nonetheless, so people would stop badgering me that I am unfair to Andor when my argument is about the franchise as a whole, not one show specifically. Andor is just convenient to mention, because it is the most recent show we got, and it has useful visuals and scenes that can be used to illustrate the points of the argument that expose the issues that this franchise had since 1977.
What I wanted to point out, and which I saw online magazines like The Mary Sue already point out, Andor is different from Mandalorian or Kenobi, because it doesn’t just show us the glimpses of the fight against the Empire or very redundant vision of it rallied around one hero that is “the chosen one”. It shows us all the gritty reality of the rebellion and how Luke Skywalker was not some god that ended it all. He was part of the net of actions that were taken long before he even appeared. He had a task, and he did that task splendidly, and he lived to see the outcome of it, but many did not. People who put years of their lives and sacrificed everything to see the Empire fall, did not get that privilege, and Andor shows it in the Prison Break Arc specifically. Some of those people didn’t make it. They hoped to leave for so long, and they died trying, and we don’t even know how many made it back except Cassian and his friend (also can I point out that it was a friendship forged in anger, fear and pain? I never saw Cassian get on with someone so quickly as he got with his inmate friends, he was always the mistrustful and careful one, so you can probably guess how impactful that image is). Rebellions are not fairy tales. They are not some heroic stories in which everybody gets a happy ending, because heroes journey said they do. Rebellions are messy, and there is no morality to them. If anybody tries to tell you that there are moral and amoral things to do during the Rebellion, they are not aware of the reality of the Rebellion itself. There will be sacrifices. There will be heinous acts committed for the sake of justice and freedom, and all of it is needed so at the end there could be people who still live to see another day, the day without their oppressors. The day they can smile knowing it is all over, and not think about what was the price for that new-found peace. Still, as a franchise, Star Wars fails to do one thing constantly. It is true that Star Wars, is a "reflection of our world", but its commentary as a whole is often not visible and often comes off as reinforcement rather than critique. (Or at least did until very recently. Andor serves as a perfect example of a positive change, because I don’t know how to stress it, but some people need it spelled out and said out loud, instead of just hinted at with clever storytelling, that fascism is evil). Just look at all those Star Wars fans who fail to see that Star Wars was always political, and demand it to stop being "woke” simply because they don’t like the fact that there are more women and people of color in the picture now. Their perfect comfort fantasy about fascist regime ruined. Oh, my. How very sad for them.
Anyway, what I was trying to get at since the beginning of this post is that because this franchise is about fighting the baddies, every time it gets continued there must be a new enemy and a new resistance to fight it. It’s an endless war, because it is “Star Wars”. Times of peace are apparently not worth representing in a franchise that is build on showing war (which saddens me because the TV show in which we are shown how hard it is for people to switch from “fighting mindset” to “rebuilding mindset” would be really nice and maybe even helpful to former soldiers, if it showed the struggle and solutions to how to abandon fighting after war is over and put yourself to use in creating a better future). Star Wars as a franchise highlights the circularity of the issue, and lack of steps taken into the direction of progress for positive change that we all see in the real world. But in opposition to the real world where we can only influence the outcome of our future with voting and private endeavors, in SW we could write a natural and progressive change after all those wars, and show that it is possible to break the cycle. At least try to show that each time the Empire comes back under a new name, it is smaller, and needs to adapt to conquer and oppress people again, because each time we became smarter (however unrealistic that may seem to some people, we are able to do that, we just don’t, because we don’t put enough effort into eradication of harmful ideologies and allow them to fester).
Give us some hope for the future. (Is only Star Trek allowed to do it?)
So what SW franchise ultimately fails to notice is that Hitler lost and nothing was the same in history after what he did, to the point that historians declared “an end of history” right there, because it was so horrifying it was unthinkable. (Very convenient of them to blame it on one man and one regime, as if it was not an outcome of hatred that existed long before it. They focused on the scale of it, instead of the true issue - the ideologies of dehumanization that we should have eradicated by now, but still struggle with even in 2022). Regimes still exist, fascists still exist, but the scale is so much smaller than in the case of the Third Reich, which SW uses as their primary influence. We didn’t have any major scale war since WW2, because we started to do something, working to prevent it (with varying success, mind you). SW universe, however, seems like a place where people learn nothing from their own fights. There is no systemic change for the better. No lesson learned. There is just a constant come back from oppressive regime to faulty status quo that breeds another regime, and it keeps ongoing forever and ever, for thousands of years. With no hope at all, even though it could become better if only the story was allowed so.
Star Wars as a franchise is not even allowed to experiment. They are so obsessed with keeping the formula intact that it hurts everything.

figure it out ~ colt grice x reader
colt grice x reader; 6.5k words; nsfw summary: colt is determined to proving himself in any test, even if that means figuring out why you were staring at him...?
masterlist
Tumblr media
“I suppose congratulations are in order.” You smile when Colt jumps slightly at the sound of your voice.
“So, you heard?”
“Magath made sure to come tell the rest of us after you got pulled from training. Wanted to remind us we’re still scum, maybe even a little bit more so since we weren’t chosen.”
It probably wasn’t the best thing to say, you can already see Colt feels badly, as he rubs his neck, “I’m sorry. You know, the Cart and Armor titan successors will be selected soon enough.”
“It’s okay Colt, it was never in the cards for me. Not being in your class and all.” You shrug, giving him a sly smile thinking of how hard he’s been training these last few years, desperate to redeem his family’s betrayal to Marley. But you suppose that’s something the current Beast titan has in common.
“I wouldn’t give up hope yet.” He flashes you a grin that makes you feel weak in the knees.
But with being so dedicated to inheriting a titan, you know Colt has never so much strayed an eye off his goal. No use dwelling on those smiles he sends your way.
“Well, I’m sure with being selected you can finally ease up on the studying and training that’s consumed your life, if you wanted to go get a soda or something?”
You already know your answer when Colt’s face screws up in that apologetic look he gets, “I’m supposed to be meeting with War Chief Zeke.”
“Really not waiting a moment for this training to begin, huh? Is he going to tell you all the secrets to being a titan?” You tease, hoping your disappointment is masked in your voice.
Colt laughs slightly, “Not sure, but he told me to bring a catcher’s mitt.” He gestures to the leather in his hand.
Speak of the devil, you see the War Chief rounding the corner, “Colt.” He calls out, not bothering to come any closer.
“Well, don’t let me keep you.”
Colt looks over his shoulder, and then back of you, seeing what maybe your mind is wanting to be a flash of regret in his eyes, “Another time, okay?”
You smile and nod as you watch his retreating form. But another time will probably never come, just like it hasn’t every other time he made that promise. It’s pathetic the way you throw yourself after him, every other warrior candidate thinks the same thing. You’re not sure if the ignorance or the whispers hurt more.
Whispers that Colt definitely has never heard, too focused to give petty gossip the time of day. Which you’re thankful for, you’re not sure how you would handle Colt knowing about your massive infatuation with him. But with the way things are going, it’s likely he never will.
Kicking a rock and huffing to yourself you turn down the street to return to Liberio.
“Who’s the girl?”
It’s been almost three months since Colt was selected to inherit the Beast Titan. And while Colt knows there’s still over two years until his terms starts, he wonders if there will ever be anything more than playing catch with War Chief Zeke.
Colt throws the ball back, “What do you mean?”
Zeke just raises an eyebrow, his eyes drifting to the line of warrior candidates where you stand, clearly sneaking peaks at the two.
“Oh, her?” Colt drops his hand, his focus on you instead of the ball heading his way, “Ouf!” He groans, bending over trying to catch his breath from where the ball had knocked it out.
“Never take your eye off the target.” Zeke is standing before Colt, hand outstretched.
“Right.” Colt stands grabbing the War Chief’s hand, his eyes drifting to you, where now you’re openly watching, concern on your face. Colt sends a smile, more of a grimace, your way before following Zeke.
Zeke puts a cigarette between his lips, lighting the end. He takes a deep inhale, smoke wafting around Colt’s face, “You never answered.”
“Oh. She’s just a friend from my warrior class.”
“Watches you a lot.”
Colt doesn’t respond because he doesn’t know what Zeke means by that. You don’t watch him, at least, not more than you watch any other person. Right?
“You don’t notice?” Colt shakes his head, “Well figure it out.”
“Sir?” Colt cocks his head.
“Part of being a Titan Warrior is being strategic. Knowing what the enemy is thinking before it even crosses their mind.”
“I’d assume she’s still hurt she wasn’t selected to inherit your titan.”
Zeke lets out a mixture of a laugh and scoff, “I’ve never talked to the girl and I already know that’s wrong. Consider this your first test. Report back to me tomorrow.”
Colt nods eagerly at the thought of impressing the War Chief tomorrow, now he just needs to find you and get an explanation, even if he isn’t too convinced you were even looking at him in the first place.
Colt waits for you outside the gates of the training grounds. He watches as you and another warrior candidate come closer, the smile on your face is a pleasant sight. He likes when your eyes crinkle because of how wide your smile can get. But that’s not the point right now. He needs to focus on the task at hand.
“Colt!” You call out as soon as you spot him leaning against the wall, waving your arm wildly.
He waves back as you split off from your friend.
“I feel like I haven’t seen you in forever.” You’re a little breathless from jogging up to Colt, hoping you didn’t look too desperate to be in his presence.
Colt smiles and rubs the back of his neck, “Yeah. War Chief Zeke has me in a pretty tight schedule.”
“Well, you seem to be free now.” You comment off handedly, you know he’s probably on his way to another meeting or another training, just passing by and decided to say hi.
“Yeah, that’s why I’m here. I was hoping we could go for a walk or something?”
“Wait, really?” You ask incredulously, this man has never had a free minute in his life. And now that he does, he wants to spend it with you? You might faint.
“Unless you have somewhere to be.”
“No!” You shout, making Colt to jump slightly, “I mean, I’d love to.” Nodding too much, “How about you show me around the barracks? I’ve always wondered what it’s like to live in style.” You laugh.
“Okay but believe me when I tell you it’s not much.”
“Lead the way.”
Colt smiles and turns leading you down the block to the giant brick building.
The two of you catch up about the things he’s missed since being pulled from training. The different candidates that have dropped and joined. He tells you about all the things he’s learning, which isn’t much.
“It’s just a lot of playing catch.” Colt opens a door leading to his private dorm, “I mean we talk while we do it, but not how I imagined it going.”
You follow behind him into the sparse room, there’s the bare minimum of furniture, as most Eldians are lucky to even have. “Wow, you sure know how to decorate.”
Colt smiles, “I still try to go home as much as I can. My parents are proud, but I know Falco misses me more than he lets on.”
“A truly selfless big brother you are.” You nudge him with your elbow.
“Ah.” Colt grimaces, hand flying to where your elbow dug into his stomach.
“Are you alright?”
Colt huffs a laugh, rubbing is side, “War Chief Zeke’s throws sure pack a punch.”
“Was that from yesterday? When the ball caught you in the side?”
Colt nods, “It’s no big deal. Just a pretty nasty bruise.”
“Well at least let me look at it. I did rank higher than you in our first aid training.” You reach for his side before he turns away from you.
“Why were you staring at me yesterday?”
You freeze your movements and feel your face heat up, “What are you talking about?”
“War Chief Zeke says you were staring at me. Why?”
Mortification is all you can feel right now, “I wasn’t starring at you! And besides, I just felt bad that you got nailed in the stomach because you weren’t paying attention!” You all but stomp your foot. There’s no way he noticed you since he never has before. Which means War Chief Zeke must have pointed it out, which honestly might be worse than Colt noticing on his own.
“It was just a question. There’s no reason to get upset.”
“I’m not upset! And you’re being an idiot!” You know it wasn’t the best comeback, but you didn’t know what else to say. With that you turn around and fly down the hallway, ignoring Colt when he calls after you.
“She said she wasn’t starring at me.”
“Hmm?” Zeke doesn’t look up from the papers on his desk.
“Well, I tried to complete the test you assigned me yesterday, but she said she wasn’t staring at me, sir.”
Zeke looks up and studies Colt for a moment before sighing and leaning back in his chair, taking off his glasses to rub his eyes. Colt feels a rock settle in his stomach. It’s the first time the War Chief has really asked anything of him aside from playing catch and he’s let him down. He’s going to be stripped of titan before he even gets it, and his family will be at risk, maybe even more so than before. Falco will have to become a warrior to save them now. That’s something he was hoping to avoid, but it could already be too late for Colt anyway.
Colt is broken from his thoughts when he realizes Zeke is laughing, “Sir?”
“Don’t tell me you outright asked her?”
“Well.” Colt trails off, “I figured a head on tactic would be most successful.”
Zeke laughs to himself, rising from his chair to open a window, “One of your highest marks was in tactical and strategic planning, but I guess that only applied to categories of war.” Zeke pulls a cigarette, “Have a seat, Colt.”
Colt sits as the War Chief rounds the desk, smoke clouds in his wake. “Do you know much of the person who possessed the Beast before me?” Zeke leans against the desk.
“Tom Ksaver, sir.”
“Yes. Tom helped me through some of the most difficult times in my life, was more of a father to me than Grisha ever was.” Zeke takes a long drag, “I’d like to help you that way in the years I have remaining.”
“Of course, sir. I’d truly appreciate it.” Colt nods.
“Well, let’s start with yesterday. How exactly did you figure out that she wasn’t staring?” Zeke has a smile on his face like he knows something Colt doesn’t. Which isn’t necessarily uncommon, but Colt feels like he’s missing something here he should know.
“Well, I had given her a tour of the barracks, and she was asking to examine the bruise on my side from playing catch and I asked why she was looking at me then anyway. As you pointed out, sir. And she told me she wasn’t.”
Zeke takes a last drag from his cigarette before putting it out in the ash tray, “Let me get this straight. The two of you were alone in your room?”
Colt’s eyes widen, “I’m sorry, sir. I should have asked for permission before bringing her in there.”
Zeke continues, not even acknowledging Colt’s apology, “And she was asking you to remove your shirt, which is when you decided was the best time to question her stares?”
“Yes.”
Zeke’s silence bares down on Colt, and he’s about to break the silence when Zeke let’s out a deep hearty laugh, “I’m assuming the years you’ve spent as a warrior candidate have had you focused on your training and nothing else.”
Colt nods, slightly confused, “Of course sir. I wanted to redeem my family’s sins against Marley.”
Zeke nods, understanding all too well, “And you’ve done it. The next inheritor of the Beast Titan. It’s safe to say the Grice family is in good standards.” Colt nods as Zeke continues, “And you’ll have plenty to learn now, and I’ll try my best to prepare you. Most will come on your own, long after I’m gone.” Zeke pauses to pick up the baseball that always sits on the edge of his desk. “Doesn’t mean now’s the time to slack off, but I’m sure a little excitement in your life could do you well.”
“I’m not sure I follow.”
“The brightest can truly be the densest.” Zeke mutters to himself, “If I were a betting man, I would say she has a schoolgirl crush on you.”
“What! Me?” Colt shouts.
“Who knows, might not be exactly schoolgirl either. I’m assuming you’re aware of the sexual innerworkings between individuals?”
Colt feels his face go red, this is not what he thought warrior training would entail.
“Colt. The second you were selected to inherit a titan, your life became a countdown. Don’t waste the moments you would regret.”
“I thought Warriors didn’t bother with things like that for the same reason exactly.”
Zeke hums, throwing his ball into the air a few times before placing it on the desk again, “Now that is something we can discuss at a later date. But as for now, I’d say take the day to make amends with your friend.”
“Are you sure, sir? I only just arrived.”
Zeke scoffs, “Please go.”
...
You barely had the energy to make it to the training grounds today. Laying in your bed all night replaying the Colt’s words in your head made sleep elusive. Not the typical thoughts of Colt that kept you up at night.
Never in your life had you been so embarrassed. Maybe you should drop out of the Warrior program all together. It’s not like you’ll ever inherit a titan anyway, and if you found a job in Liberio it would be easier to avoid Colt for the rest of your life.
Well, you suppose it would only to be about fifteen years of hiding, and then his term would come to an end anyway. The thought makes your stomach churn, and you wish it had never entered your brain in the first place.
The day drags on. When you’re finally free, you say quick goodbyes to your friends hoping to get home and crawl into your bed until you can erase the mortification from your consciousness.
But that’s going to be hard with Colt standing at the gates just like yesterday. Hoping to make yourself as small as possible you duck your head and try to hurry past without him noticing.
But your plan is unsuccessful when you hear your name being called behind you.
Stopping in your tracks you turn around, Colt just a step behind.
“Hey.” He says, “I wasn’t sure if you saw me back there.”
“Must have missed you.” You give a tight smile, “I’ll see you around though.”
Turning around you’ve decided you will be going home to curl up in a ball and die, but your hand is tugged back.
“I was hoping we could talk about yesterday.”
“What’s there to talk about?” You fight the heat building behind your cheeks.
“Well, I think I said some things that might have upset you, and I wanted to apologize.”
“You didn’t upset me. I just had remembered I needed to get home is all. Which is also where I need to be now. So, I’ll see you around Colt.”
“I was thinking we could go get that soda finally. I know I always say next time.” He gives you that lopsided grin when he knows he has someone caught, and you’re sure you’re actually going to go weak in the knees.
And a tiny part of you hates yourself for not being strong enough, “Okay.”
It’ll be sunset soon, and you know you should be getting home soon, but you’re laughing at Colt’s impression of Magath and you know these moments will be worth it even if you get shit from one of the gate guards.
“I am sorry if I upset you yesterday.” Colt says, abruptly.
You pause before answering, wishing Colt hadn’t brought this up again. “It’s okay. I might have overreacted anyway.”
He stares into your eyes, and you think he’s searching for something before looking back at the street in front of you two, sighing, “I’m just trying to do my best. And I feel like I’m falling behind, and that any second everyone will realize they should have picked someone else.”
You scoff, “Well that’s just wrong. You were basically the top of our class in every subject! I don’t think there was or will be anyone else who has dedicated so much time to the program.”
Colt doesn’t answer, eyes now at his hands, clearly lost in thought.
You nudge his shoulder, “You okay?”
“War Chief Zeke thinks you have a crush on me.”
You freeze, feeling your stomach dropped, “God! Do you believe everything he says?” You shout.
Colt jumps at your outburst, clearly not expecting it, “Wait!” He puts his hands out, like he was preparing for you to run away, “I didn’t mean it like that! I mean he did say that, but I was just wondering, I guess if you did?”
“What do you care anyway?” You fold your arms.
Colt groans, “I don’t know. War Chief Zeke basically told me to stop wasting my life and to figure it out.”
“So, do you want to know for yourself of because War Chief Zeke told you to?”
“Would it be bad if I said both?”
You roll your eyes and huff, “This is why you’ve never realized! You’ve always been so focused on inheriting a titan, that you never realized what was right in front of you!”
Colt frowns, “That’s not fair. You know why I’m doing this.”
You feel horrible for a second, “I didn’t mean it like that, Colt.” You whisper, sitting down again. You groan before dropping your head into your hands, “Everyone else has picked up on it. I’ve never even spoken to War Chief Zeke and he knows.” You meet his gaze, “I mean, am I that invisible?”
Colt opens and closes his mouth a few times, “I wouldn’t, I mean that’s not-” Colt trails off. “I’m clearly fucking this up.” He sighs, shoulders dropping.
You sit there in shame for having spilled your guts out and Colt can barely get a word out. Hiding for the rest of your life is starting to look better and better.
“I think you’re stunning.” You whip up your head, but Colt is still looking at his locked hands, “I think you’re intelligent, and so kind, and this amazing person.” He looks up at you, “I’m an idiot for ignoring that, and I want to try showing you how sorry I really am.”
“Oh.” You can barely whisper, mouth slightly parted.
Colt’s eyes flick between yours and your lips, “Is it okay if I kiss you?”
You nod, afraid to say anything that might break this moment. But your heart is thumping so loudly you’re sure he can hear it.
His head leans in towards you, and your eyes flutter close waiting for his lips to touch yours. Instead, you feel a sharp pain on your forehead.
“Ow!” Rubbing your forehead, you see Colt is doing the same.
“Shit.” He mutters to himself, he looks up, face redder than you ever thought possible, “Sorry I’m so helpless.”
“Colt.” You press a hand into his cheek, this time guiding your mouth to his. And you don’t close your eyes until your lips are firmly pressing against his. He isn’t moving against you, more like he’s shocked still.
Taking the lead, you wrap your hand around the back of his neck, pulling him closer. He gasps at the feel of your tongue sliding against his lips, and you use the opportunity to slide it in.
This is about as far as you’ve gotten with anyone, so you aren’t quite sure what to do next. But Colt seems to have returned to the moment and has some intuition, because he meets your tongue in his mouth with his. Swiping his over yours several times that has a chill running down your spine.
You feel one of his hands grab at your thigh, pulling you closer while the other slides to cup your face. He continues wrestles your tongue with his and it’s making you a little dizzy. And suddenly you feel his teeth nip at your bottom lip that has you gasping a moan.
He pulls away, both of your chests heaving like you just ran laps around the training field.
“That was nice.” You say, cringing at how awkward you sound.
“Really nice.” He keeps fluttering his gaze between your eyes and lips like he wants to go back for more.
“So-” You trail off, not quite sure what to say.
“You know,” He starts, “It’s getting pretty dark out. You should probably just stay the night, that is if you want to?”
Your mouth drops slightly, “Yeah. Okay.” You give him a small smile.
His hand has moved from your thigh to grab your hand, and stands pulling you up along too, “Okay.”
You smile interlocking his fingers, “See? You’re not completely helpless.”
“What do you- oh. Oh.” Colt’s face flushes, “I didn’t mean it like that, I mean, unless you want to me to mean it like that.”
Squeezing his hand, you take a little pity on the boy, “Let’s just go.”
And now you’re sitting side by side on his bed, exchanging small kisses between giggles.
“Do you think this could be easier?” He asks between kisses.
You pull back, “What?”
“I mean, like if you sat in my lap, or something, I guess.” Colt trails off, embarrassed for even asking.
“Okay.” You push Colt to sit back further on his bed and straddle his hips, “Is this okay?”
Colt doesn’t answer. Can’t answer. He didn’t realize how warm you would feel in his lap, and how dim light from the single lamp would make your eyes seem more vibrant. But he does give a slight nod and you return your mouth to his.
Shifting slightly to reposition more comfortably, you feel his bulge brush against you. The sensation sends a tingle through you, so you try it again. Maybe a litter harder than last time because now Colt lets out a quick groan while bucking up into your body.
You gasp at his sudden movement, surprised that you elicited such a reaction.
Both of you pull back to look at each other. And there’s some unspoken communication happening between the two of you because he’s pulling you down on top of him and you’re reaching for the bottom of his shirt while he’s running his hands along you sides and kissing your neck.
After you get all his buttons undone, he pulls away for moment to tear of his shirt and pull the under one off over his head.
You sit back, feeling his hardness that seems to have grown press into your ass. You’d be more interested in exploring that, if you weren’t so memorized by all the skin Colt just exposed you to.
You flick your eyes up to Colt’s quickly, seeing he’s waiting for you to make the first move. So you begin your assault on his neck, running your tongue along his collar bone, biting at his skin that earns you a squeak.
Your hands have been tracing his stomach, scratching and rubbing at the hardened muscle. You continue to scoot further down his body, now straddling his thighs.
“Wait!” Colt straightens and grips your hand that was edging closer to his belt, “It’s just, I’ve never really done this before.”
You smile and shrug, “I figured, but I haven’t either.”
“No.” Colt says, his face grave, “Like I haven’t really even done things with myself, like that.” His cheeks are a dark pink and you can’t help but wonder what other parts of his body are flushed.
“Oh.” You straighten, realizing just what he meant, “So, you’ve never thought about things like this? Even at night?”
Colt flushes and grumbles, “Kind of hard when I shared a room with Falco.”
You smile, “That’s okay. I think I’ve thought about this enough for the both of us.” Pressing a quick kiss to his lips, and then continuing to his neck, enjoying the small whines pouring from his lips, “I’ll take care of you.” You whisper into his shoulder, loving the shiver that dances across his body.
Pushing gently on Colt’s shoulder, he lays back onto his elbows, his gaze never leaving you as you scoot further down his body until your face to face with his groin.
You check once more with hands on his belt buckle. When you get a small nod, your fingers have never undone a belt so quickly. You pull at his pants and briefs, Colt helping by lifting his hips just enough to free himself.
And then you’re met with the glorious sight of his erect cock, already leaking from the slit. You can’t help but run your fingers along the shaft.
Colt lets out a sharp gasp, grabbing at you, unsure if he wants to push you away or ask you to do that again.
You never believed the others who said boys would react that easily, surely it took more than a few soft touches. But here’s Colt, looking at you like you’ve single handedly tilted the world on its axis with that single movement.
You sit up on your knees and Colt whines, but he quickly appreciates the action as you start to unbutton your own shirt, throwing it onto the pile of growing clothes on the floor.
You tentatively reach for his cock, a hand wrapping around the base, “You’ll tell me if I’m doing something wrong?”
“I’m pretty sure everything you do is going to be perfect.” Colt has his eyes on where your hand is grasping him. You smile at how transfixed he is. You lean down, still looking at his face waiting for him to make eye contact.
When he does you take the head of his cock into your mouth, swirling your tongue while still locked with his eyes.
Colt breaks first, throwing his head back, unable to feel and look at the same time.
You laugh slightly, sounding more muffled with your mouth full. You continue to suck, rotating your hand in tandem with your mouth. All while Colt moans helplessly.
“Wait, wait.” Colt gasps, his hands on the side of your head, gently pulling you back, “I don’t want to end it there.”
You smile coyly, “You want to fuck me, Colt?”
“I would, I mean, if that’s what you want to?” He’s still panting, looking quite the sight.
Nodding, you pull yourself up. And Colt reaches for you, kissing you deeply which surprises you because your mouth is filled with the taste of him.
His hands run up and down you side, squeezing you when he gets to your hips, “Are you going to take this off?”
“Okay.” Rolling off and onto your back, you shimmy out of your pants and throw them on the ground. You know Colt is staring at you. You feel a little shy under his gaze and avert your eyes to his clothing situation.
“Are you going to take yours off?”
“Shit.” He mutters, “Right.” Colt stands awkwardly pulling at his pants that makes you giggle and has Colt laughing with you.
When he’s completely naked, Colt joins you on the bed, capturing your lips. You feel his hardness pressing into your thigh with the way he’s straddling your leg. His kisses continue to the corner of your mouth, your cheek, and trails down your neck until he comes to your bra.
Looking at you for permission, you nod and watch as he pushes the fabric off your shoulder and does the same to the other side. You reach behind yourself to undo the clasp, shyly pulling it off. You’ve never been so bare in your entire life.
“You’re beautiful.” Colt breaths, a hand coming up to cup your breast. He pushes up to his knees, his thigh brushing against your covered center, and the friction makes you moan and roll your hips back against the hard muscle.
You meet each other’s eyes, both a little startled at the reaction. Colt recovers quicker than you, pressing kisses to the top of your breast, a hand still pulling and massaging the other.
He presses his weight further into you, the pressure sending jolts of lighting straight through you.
A cry leaves your mouth that you try to cover with your hand, biting into the flesh of your palm.
His hand slip further down your body until it’s dancing at the edge of your panties.
“Take them off.” You whisper, eyes fixed on the ceiling above you.
You notice Colt pause his movements and then after a beat hooks his fingers on either side, slowly pulling them down your legs. His hot breath fans over your stomach, thighs, until he’s sitting back on his heels between your legs.
His cock still painfully erect, but he’s focused on you, eyes flittering between yours and your newly displayed cunt. He places his hands on your thighs, rubbing them up and down, closer and closer to where you both want them to be.
Colt hesitates, “Will you show me what to do?”
You nod taking his hand and guiding it between your legs with your own. Placing your fingers over his, you guide him in a circular motion, “This feels the best.”
He watches the motion of both your hands. And you have to hold back a laugh because his face is so intense like he’s studying for an upcoming exam.
You remove your hand, allowing Colt to find his own rhythm.
He rubs a few circles before looking back at you for your reaction. But you don’t have to say anything because the heaving of your chest and hand grasping at the sheets is all the answer he needs.
Colt continues rubbing you while returning his mouth to one of your breasts.
You can hardly breath with the way his fingers are pulsing at your nerves and his warm tongue sloppily flicking your nipple. You gasp when you feel a slight pinch that must have been teeth and cry out, “Fingers!” Colt’s face jumps up with confusion written across it, but he doesn’t stop his movements which makes it hard for you to explain, “You fingers. Put them in.” You’re rotating your hips in tandem with his hand, thrusting wishing for something to fill you up.
Colt must understand because a second later you feel a finger rubbing your opening. You’re about to complain again when Colt decides to take mercy and pushes one inside.
It’s all over for you there. The sudden stretching paired with his constant movements on your clit and warm body pressed into you, it sends you over the edge. Colt doesn’t stop though, lost in the look on your face. He couldn’t bear to move his eyes right now, not when you’re crying out like that because of him.
He can feel you pulsing around his fingers even though he’s barely moved them.
You cry out, trying to lock your legs together, but his body stops you from barely being able to move them, and you have to grip his wrist to rip his hand off of you, the stimulation being too much.
Panting heavily, you feel Colt withdraw his finger, and you whine at the loss. But then you see Colt sucking the finger into his mouth, wet with your slick. You almost cum again at the sight.
“Can I do what you did for me?”
You smile at his eagerness, “Maybe later? Right now, I really want you in me.”
His eyes widen at your boldness, “Oh, okay. Umm, how do you want to do it?”
Sitting up you grab his cheek for a kiss, the taste of yourself filling your senses. Gently pushing his shoulder, Colt lays down giving you the opportunity to swing a leg over his hip, “Is this okay?”
“More than okay.”
You smile before slowly grinding your slit along his cock. The feel of your slick coating him has Colt gasping for air. Reaching between the two of you, you grasp his cock, holding it as you line yourself up.
You slowly lower yourself on to the tip of his cock. The stretch burns more than you thought it would, and immediately pause the movement.
Colt freezes, going rigid under you that causes a pulse in your cunt, “Are you okay?”
It’s hard to find the words to explain the pain but also the pleasure and desire to go harder “You feel so big, Colt.” 
“Oh.” He blushes, which earns a giggle from you. And it’s a slow process after, only taking a little bit of him in at a time.
Colt can barely utter a word, too transfixed on all of you. From your wide eyes to tits in his face and cunt slowly sucking in his cock. He has to clench his eyes to avoid ending this all too soon.
You exhale sharply when he finally bottom’s out, his cock is splitting you in half. And he looks so sweet under you, so you can’t help but to caress the side of his face, fingers dancing along his cheek, “You’re doing so good.”
His jaw is dropped and digs his hands into the flesh of your hips to ground himself. “Please.” He whines, “Please move.”
“You have to be quiet for me baby.” You slowly rise on your knees, hands planted on his chest for balance, before slamming down harder than you meant to, both of you letting out a groan, his louder than yours. You lean down and let your lips brush over his ear, “Unless you want the other warriors to hear us?”
Colt’s eyes snap open and search yours frantically. It’s clear the thought turns him on if the twitching of his cock is anything to go by.
You hum as you rock forward, “Want everyone to know how good you’re giving it to me right now? On your first try and you already have me creaming all over your cock.”
Colt doesn’t answer, can’t answer. Captivated with sight of his cock repeatedly disappearing into your cunt, sucking him in over and over and over.
You use your free hands to pull at your nipples, twisting the sensitive nubs.
“Please.” He mutters, eyes screwing shut, “I think I’m going to cum.”
“Not yet baby.” You tilt your head back, you’re almost there, and it feels amazing. You can’t believe you’re actually going to cum with Colt’s cock inside you. All the nights pretending it was your fingers could never match up to this.
“Slow down.” Colt holds your hips tighter, trying to change your movements, “You have to slow down.”
“Just a little bit longer.” You take his hands and hold them above his head, “Can you be good for me just a little bit longer?” Colt’s eyes are wide on yours as he gives a slight nod. You smile leaning down to capture his lips, tongue sliding along his. He groans into your mouth and you know you’re getting him closer and closer to his edge. And it really isn’t your fault when you clench around his cock, earning a strangled gasp he’s barely able to choke out.
The world shifts suddenly as you’re flipped onto your back with a squeak leaving your mouth.
Colt pulls out to stand on his knees before wrapping his hands into your thighs hard enough that it’ll surely bruise and buries himself back into the hilt, knocking the air out of you.
“I. Told. You. To. Slow. Down.” He punctuates every word with a hard thrust that has you seeing stars.
“Colt, please!” You cry, reaching for him to pull him into a kiss but he only grabs your hand, trapping it between his and the bed, getting a little more leverage as he continues to pound into you.
Colt doesn’t say much, focusing on holding off his impeding orgasm until he can get you there. He hitches your leg higher around his waist, giving it an almost stinging slap, but you get the message and wrap both your legs around him, locking your ankles.
He slides his hand downward until he reaches the bundle of nerves you showed him earlier, and presses begins pressing tight circles into it.
“Yes, yes!” You begin to pant, your legs starting to shake from the pressure building, “Don’t stop!” Suddenly you tense up, legs locking in place and eyes rolling into the back of your head. You feel Colt work you through the orgasm, stroking that spot inside you again and again that you swear makes you cum for a third time that night.
Going limp, you let your legs fall to the bed and head lull to the side. Colt’s thrust become more erratic before he pulls out, pumping his cock once, twice, and spills out. Warm ropes hit you stomach and breasts. You don’t even have time to think about it before Colt is collapsing on top of you, harshly panting into your neck.
You both lay there, sweat cooling on your skin that makes you shiver slightly.
“That was,” Colt trails off, still trying to piece his brain back together. It makes you smile to see him so off kilter for once.
Bringing your hands up to his jaw, you pull him back slightly, “Yeah, it was.” And press your lips to his, not really kissing since you’re both smiling too much.
And that smile stays on Colt’s face all through the night and next morning as he walks you back to the training grounds. Only widening after you press a kiss to his lips before quickly ducking into the building.
“So, you worked things out with your friend?” Colt looks up to see War Chief Zeke behind him smoking a cigarette, and Colt can’t help but blush at the fact Zeke might have just witnessed your goodbye, “No need to be flustered.” Zeke drops his cigarette on the ground, stomping out the embers, before tossing the extra catcher’s mitt into Colt’s hands, “Nowhere near as graphic as what we all had to endure last night.”
And only then is when Colt’s smile finally falls.
But maybe you can get it back later tonight.

Master Post of things I wanted to post while reading ACOSF- mostly humour/ crack lol (Spoilers... Duh...)
First, general opinion: I liked the book generally. I knew it would be very Feysand friendly and I was prepared for that. Not my first choice but I get it. I really had to take a few hours off with the whole hiking scene. That really fucked with me to see Cassian so pissed and militant despite already knowing where Nesta was coming from and how betrayed she felt (ESPECIALLY once I learned that he had guessed they were mates already). I know that self loathing was a major theme but I do think it was laid on a little too thick for too long. I also think there was so much Nessian interaction when things were angsty and then when they were happy I was just WAITING for that full chapter of soft happiness and I feel like a lot of that got lost to Nesta’s relationship with her sister. Above everything though I gotta say that it BREAKS MY HEART that Cassian never actUlly says I love you to Nesta at any point in the book. I know it’s meant to be that he’s always loved her and it’s his actions that show it etc etc but it’s still kind of a blow for him to never say it... never even outright think it in his own perspective (go back and look the closest he gets is saying he’s acting like a lovesick puppy. We only get to see Cassian loving Nesta from her perspective as she realizes it which I get and is beautiful but maybe ONE DECLERATION THANKS). Anyway, I am hoping that opportunity arises in future books. Although.... I don’t think I will read the future books. Maybe I will, but honestly this was just SO MUCH. Like... I think there was too much in the book. Each of these quests could have been its own book and I was happy to keep going because I’m obsessed with Nesta, but I just don’t think I’d be interested enough in the other characters to read something so convoluted again (like I’m sorry the blood rite started with basically 100 pages left that is WILD). It was also so clear that so much of this book was setup for future books and that’s fine but it was kinda messy just being honest. ANYWAY onto more specific thoughts/ jokes:
Chapter 2:
Cassian: I just hope that Nesta knows we are doing this for her benefit, because we care.
Feyre: I don’t care this shit ends now. I’m burning your apartment to the ground.
Also Cassian: *Let’s Nesta fall down a flight of stairs*; *calls Nesta pathetic every day*; *tells Nesta everyone hates her*; *walks around slamming doors all pissy as if he’s the one being held captive*
Chapter 11:
Nesta:Rhysand is an asshole
Me:
Tumblr media
Cassian: well everyone fucking hates you
Me:
Tumblr media
The way that Cassian thinks about Russet Potato is just straight up not healthy. Like I get looking up to a sibling or whatever but I’m starting to think that Rhys is Cassian’s one true love. Cassian being THAT blind to every one of Rhysand’s flaws is a character flaw of his own. Even Feyre isn’t THAT blind.
Chapter 11 Pt 2:
Nesta from day one: I’m not training in that camp. I hate that camp. I’m not training there. Fuck that camp
Cassian: this is because you hate me, isn’t it?
Me:
Tumblr media
Like I’m sorry did we really need Feyre to show up to help him crack that code???
Chapter 10 (and beyond):
My OTP? Nesta and the House of Wind.
It’s a solid enemies to lovers story (chapter 6 she says even the house hates her then later it’s her only friend and ally. Great love story.)
It reveals its heart to her before Cassian does
It knows what she needs
Gave her water on the steps instead of watching her fall down them
Pushes Nesta gently by keeping the fire so Cassian can see that she is afraid and haunted instead of empty and broken. Encourages her to go to dinner with people by barring the library but doesn’t FORCE her to go. The house does not judge her.
Spoils her and is silly with her while she has her sleepover.
Takes an active interest in something important to her and shares one of her hobbies
Side note- this book even has me pissed at the IC about how they treated a damn house!! Like how dare they say no one likes going there! How dare they be so rude to my new #1 favorite book character??? The house just wants to give you cake and books and run you a bath. Perfect partner IMO.
Chapter 17:
Me when Cassian does the bare fucking minimum and tells Rhys to calm the fuck down and stop threatening to kill Nesta:
Tumblr media
Chapter 21:
When Rhys said that Nesta always has a choice here I said, out loud, “that’s fucking rich rice ball”. My dog looked up. That’s all.
Chapter 21 (and beyond) pt 2:
Prythian: mating bonds are very rare
Archeron sisters: survey says that was a lie
Prythian: fae fertility is very difficult. Conceiving can take decades
Archeron sisters: survey says that too was a lie
Prythian: No High Fae can survive the birth of an Illyrian winged baby
Archeron sisters: once again, the survey is not on your side here
Chapter 42:
Rhys: this is a bad idea
Cassian: that should be written on the Night Court’s crest
Me, wine glass raised to mouth, scoff more bitter than necessary: yeah it Fucken should”
Chapter 42 pt 2:
Yknow I was genuinely shocked by one thing in ACOSF. I was shocked that Rhysand and I agree on something.
He absolutely fucking shouldn’t be High King.
The mere SUGGESTION that Nesta’s power and fight and trauma and depression and war and entire FUCKING STORY has all been so that Rice cake and French fry can be a high king and queen literally set my blood BOILING at exactly the point in the book that I was starting to VIBE
Side note- Can we please just Fucken stop with the stars blinking in and out of existence in Rhys’ eyes. Like calm down. Rice pilaf has purple night eyes we get it. Just like... simmer please.
Chapter 46:
I GET that it shouldn’t have come out like that and that Nesta’s reasons weren’t right, but get ABSOLUTELY FUCKED RHYSAND for thinking that it is your right to HIDE THE DANGERS OF LABOUR FROM A WOMAN WHO DOES NOT KNOW YOUR SPECIES!!! This had me truly wildin and I think it was a disservice to Feyre’s character too that she didnt lose it more.
Chapter 55 (and earlier):
Cassian: *bows to death as Nesta emerges from the black depths on a throne to rule her undead armies*
Cassian: *watches bleeding as Nesta plucks the harp and wields her Made sword of death to murder Lanthys and claim the ability to stop time itself*
Nesta: So, now I go after the crown
Cassian:
Tumblr media
Chapter 57 (and earlier):
Kelpie: You shall be my bride before you are my meal
Helion: *rides enchanted horse up to shoot his second shot with Nesta*
Lanthys: Tries to seduce Nesta into being his Queen even as he attempts to kill her
Eris: I’ll give you anything in exchange for Nesta as my bride
Cassian watching every male being in the universe trying to get with his mate:
Tumblr media
Chapter 60:
Emerie: we’re not entering the blood rite, are we?
Cassian: Only if you want to
Brialynn:
Tumblr media
Chapter 80:
Nesta: *Saves Cassian’s life in the war*
Rhys: I still hate you and will never forgive you for what you did in not hunting as a child.
Nesta: saves Feyre and Nyx
Rhys: I bow before no one and nothing but my crown and now I shall fall to my knees before you oh mighty saviour queen of all
Side note- can someone please compile a list of all the things that Nesta Archeron had done/retrieved/gone through for the Nigh Court because that shit is astronomical at this point and I really need everyone to start sipping their Respect Nesta Archeron Juice RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!
Anyway I’m emotionally wrecked but shoutout to anyone who made it this far into my ramblings!

when we’re alone | 1930′s!Din Djarin x Fem!Reader | Part One
A/N: So here’s a unique idea for you all to be like “Caitlin why” about
Rating: T
Warning: Din was in WW1. People are very mean to him bc he’s scary man who kills people (bad people!! ya jerks!!). Mentions of abuse towards women and children, but they’re not detailed. He’s lonely and bitter, so...he’s him.
Word count: 1,242, apparently!
Summary: Din Djarin is a legend; a world war veteran turned hitman, everyone seems to fear him even though they need him. You're a movie star who hires him for his protection, and with the stars he’s helped, he’s sure you’ll be just as judgmental and frightened.
Tumblr media
GIF credit: damerondjarin yes I know that’s Javi but I need the most 1930′s-esque GIFs I can find there ain’t no helmets
Tags: Open! This is a unique story so I’m gonna leave the taglist for those that read this and want to be tagged!
                                         ------------------------------
Din Djarin was a legend.
A veteran of the world war with an impressive enemy kill count and honor for saving his fellow soldiers when they were backed into a corner, he always wore the many medals he’d been awarded.
Retirement was not really something a legend was able to enjoy and he was perhaps four months out of the war’s end when one of the men from his group sent him a letter inquiring if he could help him with a...problem.
Karga had been one of his favorites who always had his back, so he was happy to do him a favor, even if it was ridding him of a man who was causing him trouble.
He declined the small sum of money that was being offered for it, but took it upon his friend’s insistence, and decided to use it for the first month’s rent on a cheap apartment above a seamstress’ shop where he hoped to retire.
And then Karga told him of a man who was targeting young women, and he thought he could do another job if it meant that kind of scum would no longer be around.
He could relax after that; he was still young, he could find a job in the city, and marry someone, and have a family.
But when letters started coming in from strangers of how they’d heard of his service in the war and the work he was doing now, telling him stories of men wreaking havoc or old friends who’d slighted them, and he was starting to think that this was his job.
The more jobs he took, the more letters came from people who knew he wouldn’t fail them: women with overbearing husbands and young men with controlling fathers, monsters who yelled at children and cads who raised their hands to women.
Before Din knew it, the war had been years ago and he’d become quietly known for being the man to come to if someone needed a person gotten rid of.
So, yes, Din Djarin was a legend.
A legend who made a name for himself in the war.
A legend who could kill anyone you paid him for.
A legend who women recoiled from in horror and quickly moved to the other side of the street so they wouldn’t walk by him.
A legend who made parents warn their little boys not to grow up to be like him and their little girls not to ever marry a man like him.
Marriage and a family was all he’d ever wanted once, but he’d forgotten the idea when he realized almost any woman who came near him would tremble in fear as if he was wild and would kill them for no reason.
Perhaps he was just meant for this, and that was...fine.
There were times when his services were required to protect someone from a person, and he would keep watch on them wherever they went until he was able to kill whoever was trying to harm them. The extra money was nice, but the treatment was not.
It seemed like people treated him as both something they needed and something they feared.
When he received a wire about a movie star who needed protection from an uncomfortable admirer and read she wanted the ‘best of the best’, he rolled his eyes.
They all wanted the best of the best, and they all flinched from him like he was going to bite them or something.
He liked the pay that was being offered, though, and he knew why it was a good amount when he read your name; Din wasn’t the type who went to see moving pictures since there was no one to accompany him and they all seemed to be about romance, but you were famous enough that he’d heard about you and seen you on posters.
With how much the theatre and radio starlets hid from him and politely insulted him, he could only imagine what a big-headed one such as yourself would think of him.
But the money convinced him to send a wire back to your agent to let them know he would be there to meet with you the following day, and he was pretty good at letting the hurtful reactions and comments bounce off him now anyway.
You lived in a penthouse on the rich side of the city and he wondered if he should’ve slicked his hair back for this — something he hadn’t done since he was right out of the military, seeing no need to try and impress people that would hate him whether his hair was styled or messy like he usually left it now.
He might’ve run his fingers through it as an elevator took him up to your apartment, though he wasn’t sure why considering he knew exactly what you were going to be like.
You would need his help, but you would act like he was some kind of monster.
Perhaps you would hide behind your father or husband, trembling and begging them to make him stay outside.
Maybe offer him a cup of tea only for your hands to be shaking so much that it would shatter at his feet.
Flat out tell him that he was brutish or frightening like you were greater than him.
Not that other starlets had done those very things to him and he now held a special dislike for the famous because of it.
Even the elevator attendant was staying in the corner so he wouldn’t have to stand too close to him, cautiously stepping up so he could open the doors for him.
He didn’t care too much, thinking of what you were going to do when you saw this known killer stepping into your large, lavish penthouse.
Would you faint?
Would you scream?
Would you cry?
Would you try to pretend you were okay with it then run away to hide when you found him too terrifying?
He wondered if you would do all of the above, maybe offer him a laugh at your antics and assumptions when you were the one who so desperately needed him to protect you.
The first thing he noticed when he stepped off the elevator was the marble flooring, much fancier than the worn hardwood in his own apartment.
Nothing about your penthouse was anything like his home; where his was small and dark, yours was spacious and well-lit with furnishings beyond the bare minimum.
There was a large kitchen to his left with a table to dine at, then the rest of the room was too much of a sitting room, with doors at the back wall that he imagined lead to bedrooms, and bathrooms, and libraries, and studies.
He let his gaze roam over velvet couches before they landed on the two people sitting on one, waiting for him.
He recognized you from movie posters and the man sitting next to you looked a little familiar too, though he couldn’t place him.
The two of you were looking at him as he stepped off the elevator and he said nothing, staring at you for when you would cry and cuddle into the man at your side, telling him you wanted Din to stay away from you.
What he didn’t think you would do, however, was jump off the couch and run right into his chest as you wrapped your arms tight around him.
