Hiiii may I request a fem! Reader x husband! Leon where they watch their daughter play on the playground not until some small boy who creating paper rose and give it to her. The reader is in awe mode while Leon was in protective mode (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡
❛ 𝐃𝐀𝐃 𝐌𝐎𝐃𝐄. oneshot
feat. Dad!Leon Kennedy x Fem!Reader | wc. 0.9K
sum. dads are always protective to their daughters, leon is no exception.
note. leon be taking out his guns for this—
Tumblr media
main m.list re m.list
Tumblr media
The scene in front of Leon is more intimidating than any zombies he has fought in his life and this man has been long acquainted with them.
"How miserable I would be and my daughter if her father were to be thrown in jail for attempted homicide." Your satire quip earned you defeaning silence from the man, who merely watches the whole scene plays out, but his hands are undeniably twitching to click something dangerous.
"Your concerns are misplaced. And even if I'm guilty, the President would undoubtedly pardon me."
"Darling, you couldn't possibly be thinking of murdering an innocent boy."
A week ago, you had new neighbours settling in with their cute boy just a year older than your daughter, you took the initiative to warmly welcome them in the neighborhood with your daughter in tow. They were just as sweet as their son, who's a lot more vibrant than your daughter.
Her personality is a carbon copy of her father— quiet and observant. Though it wasn't a hindrance for her to make friends, she just doesn't have the initiative. You're partially glad the boy is unwittingly helping your daughter to socialize more.
"He gave her roses. Those things could be dangerous." He refuted.
"Paper roses, Leon. Are you afraid of our daughter getting a paper cut?" You deadpanned.
"He could be dangerous."
"How could you say that to a cute boy?" Out of disbelief, you gesture your hand as if emphasizing the innocent display of friendship between younglings.
He raises an eyebrow. "Back in Spain, there was a time I had a young boy as my enemy. Believe me when I say he was far from cute."
You cross your arms, glaring indignantly. "And believe when I say he's harmless."
Leon sighs and glances at you, inquisitive. "You seem to be familiar with that boy."
"Duh, he's our neighbor's son. Which explains why he and our daughter will get along just fine."
A flash of emotion passed his eyes, he hummed. "...Makes it easier for me to—"
"Dad! Dad!"
His girl came running with the paper roses, the wide grin on her lips makes it seem like it's impossible to turn upside down. Even in your peripheral vision, Leon's rugged look softened drastically at the sight alone. Murder plan? Gone.
He bend down to pick her up in his arms. "What is it, sweetcheeks?"
"Look! Caelus gave me roses as thank you gift from the cookies last time."
"Cookies?" He blinked.
She nodded, revealing her uneven teeth as she presents the paper roses. "Me and mom went to them and gave them cookies."
"As what a good neighbor does." You added, giving Leon a pointed look. "Did you say thank you to Caelus, sweetie?"
"Yep! Ohh... Mom, let's introduce Dad to him!" Her face brightened significantly as she wiggles out of her father's hold and came running back to her friend, who's waving at you as a greeting.
As you wave back to the young boy, Leon stood there dumbstruck. "She hasn't even come of age yet I feel like I'm meeting her boyfriend." He murmured to himself.
You elbowed him. "Oh, come on. Are you not happy with our daughter having friends?"
"I am, and I'm not against it. But why does he have to give her roses of all things?" He seems exasperated at the idea.
"Do you prefer a Boquet?"
"No, I..." He sighs, clearly exasperated.
You merely rolled your eyes. When you first met him, he gave you the impression of a strong and unwavering man, undeterred by any distrubances. Yet here you are, a sole witness of a possible murder.
"Dad, meet Caelus! Caelus, meet my Dad!"
The said boy beamed at Leon despite being unsure how to approach an unapproachable looking guy like him. "Hello, it's nice to meet you."
Leon looked hesitant but mirrored the greeting with half assed enthusiasm. "Be kind to the child, Leon. Or you're sleeping on the couch." You whispered with a tight smile.
"Not the couch." His satire response has you slapping his arm jokingly.

where do we go now? | qh43
-> 1.7k
sum: you’re the best in my life and I lost you
warnings: HAPPY ENDING in the second part don’t run away, not as heartwrenching as the song I promise, breaking up, angst, feeling like a pile of emotionless trash ❤️, she/her for reader, use of y/n. you’re Quinn’s age and your favorite flowers are marigolds btw.
a/n: I love this song, it hurts so bad <3
You flop on the couch, looking disheveled and tired. Junior year really brings out the worst in everyone. Quinn, who was sat at its end, immediately threw aside his phone and put his sole attention on you.
“Hi, Goldie. How was school?”
“Horrible. I’ll kill mys-” 
“Okay, okay I won’t let you finish that,” he muses. “I worry about you sometimes.”
“You don’t need to, Q. I’ve got it under control. Swear on Jack’s life.”
“I can’t decide if that’s reliable.”
“Hey!”
The younger boy was the one who gave you the nickname after your favorite flowers, and as annoying as he can be, he never fails to make you smile.
“Alright, boys. No need to throw hands. Quinn, could you wake me up in twenty minutes? Carla’s coming over for tutoring.” You add sleepily as you lay your head on Quinn’s lap, and he immediately threads his fingers through your hair, giving you a gentle scalp massage and acknowledging that he heard you. You really could get used to this everyday, til junior (closest thing to hell on earth) year ends.
The tutoring session with Carla goes by fast since its always fun with her sharp personality. She always has the right words at the top of her tongue. Which is why it was concerning to see her quiet after the session was over. 
“What’s up, Car?” 
“I don’t know,” she sighs, running a hand through her short hair, “You- well, it’s weird since I don’t seem like the type to talk about these things-”
“Spit it out, Carla,” You deadpan. 
“You’re, like, in love with Quinn, right?”
It catches you off guard and you check the door of your designated room in the Hughes’ house to be safe before answering, “Yeah?” 
“Do you ever plan on telling him?” 
You can’t help the way all of your insides turned to mush, “I did, actually. A couple of days ago.”  
You flushed as you remembered that night. 
You and Quinn had just sat down to study for the same stupid French exam you both needed to take. It was exhausting but studying with your favorite person made it so much better. 
“You know, you’re, like, my best friend.” 
You pause, but continue a moment later because you knew that Quinn could sit in silence for hours with everyone except you. 
“Yep.” 
“Okay.”
You laugh through your nose, he might be the most endearing person ever. 
“I love you.”
Now. 
You would’ve lied if you said you didn’t feel your stomach lurching in a good way. 
“I love you, too? Quinn, what’s-?” 
“It’s like.” He shuts his textbook. “You’re the one person who knows me inside out and you’re, like, always there for me. And I-“ he huffs, running a hand through his hair as if he couldn’t find the right words, slightly distracting you with his bicep. 
“I don’t know what I would do without someone as constant as you in my life, y’know?”
Quinn was definitely more empathetic than his brothers, but the sentiment was almost too much for you to handle. 
So, the sudden bravery and burst of emotion in you decided that you will not start crying and instead throw your notebook to the side and straddle his lap. And cup his face. 
As soon as you realized what you did, mortification took over all of your senses and before you could clamber off of Quinn’s lap, he puts his hands firmly on your hips to lock you in place. 
“Goldie,” he murmurs your sweet nickname as if in a trance. 
“Can I-?” 
“Please.”
His voice was borderline desperate when your lips collided in a firm, dizzying kiss. It started to escalate when the kisses went from soft to feverish and his hands were all over your body and tangled in your hair, French textbooks long forgotten. 
“I love you so much more, baby,” You managed to say between pants and stolen kisses here and there while you and Quinn stayed intertwined. That’s when he shoved your face into his chest so you wouldn’t see the blush on his face. 
You two eventually broke apart because it really was super late and even with the adrenaline, you weren’t sure if you could stay awake any longer. 
So, you and Quinn made your ways to your separate rooms, grinning like complete idiots but not without sharing a goodnight embrace. 
“Shut the actual fuck up.” Carla snaps you out of your trance, jaw hitting the floor. “Honestly, I never thought you would ever grow the balls to do that.” You could never stop smiling around Carla. 
“Well, I did grow the balls and you weren’t finished with what you were going to say.”
She looked uncomfortable again. You spared her the misery and said it for her instead. 
“Jack.”
“Oh god.” 
She buried her head in her hands. 
“I can’t have a crush. That’s literally so embarrassing, golds.”
“It’s absolutely not embarrassing, Car. It’s okay to like someone if they’re worth it, y’know?”
“I don’t like him.”
Sure she didn’t, but you ended it at that.
One thing you learnt from being the oldest child with neglectful parents was to lock up your own feelings and put them away in some dusty top shelf while you attend to others.
And now it was almost the end of senior year. 
The Hughes’ knew you since you walked into their life at 11 years old. They all, especially Quinn, understood you better than anyone else. 
They started noticing small changes. 
How you stopped spending special time with Luke where you both did his homework and helped with girl problems. How you stopped organizing pranks with Jack and his friends and having witty banters. How you’d started to shy away from Quinn’s touch and become nervous-uncomfortable around him rather than nervous-giddy.
Every time he would praise you, you would think of the lower than average score you got on the test earlier. Every time you two were out for lunch, you would remember how you started falling off in your favorite sport, and your hunger would go away. You felt sick to your stomach about every little thing you did. 
Quinn isn’t that much of an idiot though. He knew you needed space so he avoided prodding too much. 
“Hey, goldie”
You let out a soft hum, acknowledging that you heard Luke before he takes a seat next to you, a spot where you were usually found overlooking the vast lake. Luke would always be a little brother to you, even now that he’s 15 and understands so much more than he did when he was 7. 
“You’re sad,” he noted. The corner of your lips twitched.
“Not anymore, Lu, and you don’t need to worry about me,” you gave him a glance before shifting the conversation to him and asking about school and hockey. He took the bait, bless his heart, and talked while you gave the occasional hum and raise of your eyebrows. He knew not to be offended; you weren’t exactly… you anymore.
“You know.” He breaks the few minutes of silence. “If there’s something that’s really bothering you, you should tell us. Or at least Quinn. He’s worried.”
You were wrong. The little boy you grew up with wasn’t stupid enough to take the bait.
For the first time in days, tears sprang to your eyes. You look up at the sky that was getting darker with time, just like you.
“it’s just- everything, I feel so useless and sad and I’m always snappy, and.” You take a deep breath. “Quinn’s moving. He has his whole life planned out. And, so do you and Jack. What the hell am I supposed to do? Michigan is so far away from Vancouver, I don’t even know my majors yet I just-” You stop, because the boy who you were almost four years older to didn’t deserve to hear your worthless problems.
Regardless, he pulls you into a tight hug without intentions of letting go.
“Y/N.” You momentarily freeze at the lack of your nickname. “All of us can’t really imagine a life without you. Those stupid things don’t decide your worth. You mean so much to us, goldie.”
You knew his words held meaning, but you couldn’t bring yourself to believe them.
The next day, you were found at the same spot. Not by Luke this time, but by a softer, deeper voice that used to be sugar to your ears. Still is, but clouded with the mess of emotions in your head. Or lack thereof.
“Hey, baby.” The pet name actually did something to your stomach this time. You don’t deserve to be called baby by him.
“Hi,” You whispered back. You look up at him as he he sits next to you, mustering a small smile because its the least he deserves. He seems to light up at the slight display of emotion, and leans in to kiss your forehead.
You don’t deserve to be taken care of so gently.
You don’t deserve any of it.
His touch was so comforting but it felt like poison. You lean into it and pull away because this may be the last time you ever talk to him.
“We need to break up, Quinn.”
He’d spoken softer words to you at first but it escalated. He couldn’t be blamed for fighting back, because the girl he knew, the girl he laid his heart out for, wasn’t there anymore all of a sudden. His eyes were teary and yours were dull and dry. 
“Quinn, I’m leaving and you need to stay away from me.”
“No.”
“You look so hopeful, trying to convince me that we- we were made for each other and we’re supposed to last forever and that I have it figured out as well as you do. We are so different, Quinn. It was never going to work out.”
“Just-” he ran a frustrated hand through his hair. “If it’s the space that you need, you know where I am.” His voice had grown soft, but you had already turned your back. 
The rest of it was a haze; packing the few clothes you brought with you to Michigan, leaving without telling anyone. Except Jack, who saw you packing through the doorway and got sad, knowing exactly what’s going to happen.
You went to your aunt’s home after that, which was in a small town that was annoyingly close to Vancouver. It was serene and quiet and Carla had committed to college there. 
If it’s the space that you need, you know where I am.

so part two yes no idk

Trailer park Steve AU part 16
part 1 | part 15 | ao3
cw: unsympathetic religious discussion, mentions of oral sex (istg if you’re under 18 i will send such a sternly worded letter to your legal guardian, go aWAY)
“So just, to recap…” Eddie says dully, digging a thumb into his brow bone like he’s got a headache coming on. He’s sitting on the floor with his back against a work bench — one knee drawn to his chest, the other stretched out long, nearly tripping Steve where he's pacing a hole into the concrete. He lets his head fall against the bench with a thunk, looks up at Steve and continues, “we just got abducted by two asthmatic freshmen—”
“Pretty sure Dustin's the only one with asthma.”
"Okay, and I’m pretty sure that doesn't fucking matter when we've just been kidnapped and forced to play the world’s shittiest version of Seven Minutes in Heaven!"
Eddie takes a shuddering breath, brings his voice back down an octave. "Sorry,” he says, then sighs morosely to himself. “Imprisoned by my own sheepies…”
What a goddamned drama queen.
“Sheepies?” Steve asks.
"Never mind,” Eddie huffs. “Just... I mean, Jesus Christ, is this really what's happening? This? This is really where my life's at right now?”
Steve’s been wondering that himself.
“It's an intervention!" Dustin screeches. "It's for your own good!” “I’m gonna intervene your head from your body!” “That doesn’t even make sense!” Steve gives the metal above him one final, fruitless shove, then sinks down on the steps and puts his head in his hands. Pinches the end of his nose. His voice is hoarse from yelling, his temples starting to throb. Eddie’s shaking beside him like a cat that fell in an ice bath. “Seriously,” he pleads, lowering his voice. “Let us out; this isn’t cool.” “We will, okay? We promise. Just talk to each other first. Please? Just fifteen minutes.” Aaand he's yelling again. "Fifteen— are you out of your mind??" He's about to say 'hell no,' or maybe 'go fuck yourself,' but then Dustin yelps, “U.S.S. Butterscotch!” 'U.S.S. Butterscotch.' It’s basically the Scoops Troop's 'Olly olly oxen free.' “Goddammit, dude, FINE!”
“....Yeah, that about sums it up." Steve runs a hand through his hair, sweeping his bangs back off his forehead.
Eddie gives him a worn-out stare. “Well, shit.”
“Yep.” He goes back to his pacing — back and forth, back and forth, like it's actually doing anything to calm him down. (It isn’t really. If anything it’s just making his lower back damp with sweat.)
On the floor, Eddie shivers and draws his other leg to his chest, chin resting on bony knees, arms wrapped around his legs. "Christ, it's freezing," he complains, rubbing a hand over his shins. "If we die of exposure before I get to exact my revenge on those little assholes I'm gonna be so pissed."
"Here—" Steve starts to shrug off his jacket to give it to Eddie, but then he remembers the pills he still has stashed in the left pocket and abruptly changes course. He turns to the storage shelves, scanning for anything that might be useful, and— "There we go."
He makes his way to a messy pile of old camping supplies, scoops up an armful of whatever he can find: sleeping bags, flashlights, a lantern, some old citronella candles. They won't do much for warmth, but they'll make the place a bit less Russian torture chamber, at least.
Eddie eyes him a little warily as he sets up a spot right beside him on the floor. He spreads one sleeping bag out for them to sit on like a picnic blanket; offers the other one to Eddie, who drapes it over his shoulders like a cloak, his long, dark curls spilling over the edge.
"You got a light?" he asks, arranging the candles and the lantern in a half-circle around them.
"Sure do,” Eddie says. His face lights up when he slips a hand inside his pocket. "Oh, hell yeah, baby! Look what else I got."
He pulls out a silver flask, flashing it at Steve, and Steve ignores the way the words 'hell yeah, baby' bounce around his skull like an echo through an empty cavern.
"A little insurance policy in case the dinner party was a bore." Eddie unscrews the lid; takes a wincing swig. "Would have taken boring over this, though. Think I might’ve gotten a little more excitement than I bargained for." "Yeah,” Steve laughs under his breath. "You think?"
Eddie passes him the flask, sets to lighting all the wicks while Steve takes a shot. The whiskey is cheap, and it stings on the way down, but it's nice. Warm. Liquid amber in his chest, glowing like the candlelight Eddie sparks to life.
Eddie settles down beside him. With the workbench at their backs and the warm tint to the room, it's almost cozy. Reminds him of backyard sleepovers with Tommy; a little fortress built for two.
“Do you think they’re still listening?” Eddie's eyes flit to the stairs.
“Probably." Steve takes another swig, gesturing to the shadows beyond their makeshift camp. "He probably got Suzie to help him bug this whole place."
"Ah, yes. The crazy hot, crazy smart summer camp girlfriend who totally exists."
"She does, actually,” Steve laughs, “if you can believe it."
"No shit?"
"I know, right? I mean, like..." He scratches the side of his nose. "She's Mormon and lives all the way out in Utah, so it's not exactly like... but, whatever. He's super into her, so—"
"Hold up. Dustin's dating a Mormon?" Eddie says it like he’s spitting sunflower hulls. "That's almost worse than her being fake."
“What, you got some kinda history with Mormons?”
“Oh, yeah," Eddie snorts derisively. "The Mormons and I go waaay back."
"Wait, for real?" Was Eddie in a cult? Because that would actually explain so much.
"Dude. No. Hell no. Those fuckers love to solicit the downtrodden, though. They show up at the park all the time.”
“Great,” Steve deadpans. Another wonderful amenity of the Forest Hills experience.
“Don’t worry. Wayne usually just crosses himself at them until they go away.” He makes the sign of the cross, his rings glinting in the light. “Catholic middle-aged men and LDS teens, now there’s some quality petty drama.”
“So you’re Catholic, then?” Steve asks.
“Jesus, Harrington. We’re supposed to be kissing and making up and you want to start a religious debate?”
No, he absolutely does not. He wants to make fun of Eddie, because, "That’s the second time you’ve mentioned kissing." Eddie’s cheeks go horribly pink; peach tint in the deep orange glow. “First you wanna suck my blood at dinner, now you’re talking about making out. What next?” Steve teases. “You gonna offer to suck my dick?”
He means it as a joke — a slightly rude one, sure; insinuating, but still. He expects Eddie to get it, to roll his eyes and play along. Ha ha, Harrington.
When he used to say shit like this to Tommy, Tommy would always just laugh and shove him off, tell him to go suck it yourself.
Only Eddie doesn’t laugh.
Eddie goes quiet. Runs his tongue over his teeth. He fixes Steve with one of those looks; the kind that make him feel like a burglar caught in a flood light’s beam. “Why?" he teases back. "Did you want me to or something?”

Favorite Party Banter [Druid Edition]
[Astarion (Ascended)] [Halsin/Jaheira] [Gale] [Karlach] [Lae'zel] [Minsc] [Minthara] [Shadowheart] [Wyll]
I often miss party banter because of party comp (and sometimes just straight up can't hear??) so here's a collection of my favorite bants while going through dialogue files. I know the wiki has the banter (most? all?) but I added the file names and dev notes.
Either Jaheira or Halsin is the main speaker/subject or I think their reaction is good shit.
Not in any particular order.
Tumblr media
[PB_Astarion_Jaheira_OskarsBeloved]
Astarion: Cazador always warned us to stay clear of this neighbourhood. Never said why, though.
Jaheira: The last spawn who tried was sunk into the cobblestones and left for the sun to find. I had an unfortunate taste for theatrics, in my youth. {Devnote: A little abashed, but shrugging it off}
Astarion: Ah. Yes, that was probably it.
[PB_Halsin_Jaheira_Park]
Halsin: Ah, a glimpse of nature. Like a sip of water to parched lips, eh, Jaheira? {Devnote: content}
Jaheira: Baldurians think all druids to be hay-haired idlers, Halsin. Perhaps we ought not speak of nature - but high art, or politics? {Devnote: ‘change the record, all these city folk think we’re hippies as it is’ A little tongue in cheek, she agrees with him entirely}
Halsin: I think on them also. But nothing matches the splendour of an ancient tree. {Devnote: Unfazed}
Jaheira: It is so. And, should one favour bear-form, that tree in particular makes for excellent back-scratching… {Devnote: Idle, teasing - offering a direct tip to Halsin under the guise of a hypothetical}
Tumblr media
[PB_Shadowheart_Halsin_ROM_Act3]
Shadowheart: Halsin, if I were a druid, what animal do you think I’d be? {Devnote: Idle banter, either Loyal/Reject Shar arc}
Halsin: Given your memory issues, perhaps a goldfish? {Devnote: Gently teasing}
Shadowheart: I’d hoped for something a bit more exotic… but would you carry around my fish bowl, feed me flakes of food?
Halsin: Only the finest, of course.
[PB_Laezel_Halsin_Act3_ROM_001]
Lae’zel: You’ve quite the appetite, Halsin. I’d wager you’ve bedded more of your foes than you’ve felled.
Halsin: Hmm. A challenging sum. The chimera has three heads… but does it still count as one? {Devnote: Not offended, thinking back}
Lae’zel: Must have been a challenging kill.
Halsin: Kill… yes. {Devnote: ‘Yep, that’s definitely what I mean.’}
[PB_Halsin_Shadowheart_SteelWatchFoundry]
Halsin: The birthing ground of those steel monstrosities. I would feel little sorrow if this place should close forever. {Devnote: some disdain (in a factory making robo-sentries)}
Shadowheart: Oh come on, you have to be at least a little impressed by the craftsmanship. There's only so much you can do with wood. {Devnote: gentle poking}
Halsin: Not so, in my experience. There is little I cannot whittle.
Shadowheart: Did you do that on purpose...? {Devnote: half-amused groan}
[PB_Halsin_Gale_ROM_Act3]
Gale: Halsin, you must have accumulated considerable wisdom on matters of the heart in your long life.
Gale: Anything you'd like to pass on to a strapping, love-struck wizard such as myself?
Halsin: Dispensing advice on matters of the heart would be like swapping boots - what suits me may be a poor fit for you.
Gale: Ah. Well, there's no faulting that logic. At least you didn't tell me to 'be myself'. {Devnote: Accepting the answer. Thinks 'be yourself' is naff advice}
Halsin: Oh no, perish the thought. That can be outright cruel advice to offer in certain cases.

Beautiful Vengeance
Tumblr media
cover by @blvckryx my advisor and friend
paring: Mafia boss Gojo x model reader (killer)
words: 4,7k
warnings: murders, violence, guns, some kidnaping, smut (sub Gojo/dom reader)
Tumblr media
Your mother always wanted you to have a good life. That's why when you told her you wanted to be a model when you grow up, she supported you as much as she could. To give you what you might need to make your dreams come true.
Your career took off when you were a teenager. When you were 16, you won a modeling contest, and your name made headlines.
And because you took the victory from one person, your life was about to end...
You competing with a girl whose family was more important than yours. You won anyway thanks to your innate charm, which made you stand in the first place and people considered you a beautiful, future model.
Thanks to this, your career could continue to roll and grow. And you couldn't take that chance.
You've worked so hard. You were the pride of your parents.
But your only opponent was a spoiled female dog who after losing to you all she wanted was to get rid of you.
She was the niece of mob boss Q. A man going by the name Q, who made his living by killing people for hire, dealing drugs and weapons. Even human trafficking. His mafia teams were everywhere.
You didn't know about it until you saw a group of people enter your house.
You were in your room then, and you heard screams and sounds of fighting.
As you quickly made your way down to your parents' living room, all you saw was pools of blood covering the soft carpet.
And three people dressed in black with black masks on their faces. In their hands bloody knives that they used to make your parents lie on the floor with open but dead eyes.
You were sad. You were afraid. You lost your parents. You wanted to cry over their loss. They were everything to you. They loved you, you loved them. You could have lived with them 16 years of your life. And now... It's all over.
Or you die and join them. To shorten your suffering.
But something else popped into your mind. To make them suffer.
You could have died at their hands, or you could have gotten revenge for your parents by killing them.
And you want revenge for the destruction of your life...
So you silently walked over to the cupboard until the opponents saw you, and unscrewing the bottle you let the water flow out of the plastic, soaking the entire floor where one of the people was standing.
You smashed a nearby lamp on his head and stabbed him with the sharpened glass at the end. Throwing the damaged item onto the wet floor, you jumped back quickly, letting his body quiver with the current coursing through him.
You hit the other's neck with your elbow, pulling his head back until you heard a crack.
Such easy ways to kill someone...
You've already killed two people with your own hands. Even if the metallic, disgusting smell of blood was nauseating.
Before you were stabbed by the last man, you took the knife from the dead body, and plunged the bloody blade into his chest.
While his body was still moving, he managed to scratch your head with the tip of the knife, just above the ear. Cutting off some of your shiny hair. Making your ear and the side of your neck covered in drops of blood.
The man in front of you writhed in pain as you pushed the knife hilt towards him, holding the knife in it. Stuck in his sternum in the chest.
Even though you saw the fear of death in his eyes, you felt no regret. Even if he cried and looked at you pleadingly, you showed no mercy.
Just like they had no mercy for your parents.
As he fell to the floor, the knife fell out of his chest, staying in your hand. Covering your hands in scarlet liquid.
When he was twitching and moving away with the last strength, you just walked over to him, and sitting on his stomach, you drove the knife into his heart, slowly watching the life fade from his eyes.
You felt your pajamas soaking in warm sticky blood. However, you didn't let go of the blade as you walked over to your parents and hugged them, not caring how dirty and bloody you were. You slowly and gently closed your eyes and left the house. Heading to a place where you know where a girl used to live surrounding herself with people with "Q" marks on their clothes.
There was a calm expression on your face as you walked straight down the runway, focusing on going perfect. The flashes of the flash bouncing off your eyes. The outfit you're wearing looks so good on you. One of the collections of one of the most famous fashion designers has been selected for you. Alternating with two other models, you go out there, showing the clothes on your body for less than a minute. A then you go back to change into your next outfit, and leave when it's your next turn.
It was your job.
You like it. You are a famous model.
And you don't mind that people only look at what your body looks like.
You go to clothes exhibitions, you take part in advertisements for clothes, cosmetics, nail polishes, jewelry. You are the face of many advertisements.
A lot of people who hire you choose you because you're sexy. And there is mystery in you. And your eyes show killer sexiness.
Your pose is flawless, sophisticated.
Everyone who knew you talked about this mystery in photos and videos. Something obtained without photomontage and without any additional make-up.
And Dark Beauty when you're seen in the ads for the blood red collection. Everything from lips to nails was a rich red.
That color just reminded you of what had happened over the years of your life. You don't care as long as no one knows about it.
Besides, your revenge isn't quite complete yet.
When you were 16, you swore revenge on those who hurt your family and you. You are 23 now. You are a famous model that neither the media nor anyone knows the whole truth about.
Nobody knows anything about your childhood, nobody knows anything about your past.
"Our killer only kills those from Q? Pretty good..." the white-haired man muttered, looking at the lists of names killed by one person this month. Three people. He couldn't feel sorry for these people. Each of them had the symbol of the Q family. How could he worry about the death of his enemies?
"Gojo-san, there's going to be a fashion show party soon with Q's boss."
He looked at the man who had spoken to him.
He stood up, adjusting his white shirt, adjusting the collar. He put on a black jacket and black glasses hiding his face.
"I couldn't miss it. Let's get together, guys. Time to bust some Q's heads."
Upon arrival, Gojo sat in a chosen spot next to the raised stage for models.
Soon after, the lights all around went out. The stage was lit.
This made it difficult for them to find their target.
So they decided to wait until the main banquet and party started to catch their enemies then.
Those who hinder his mafia cannot exist. Creating a business is a daily routine for the great "Six Eyes. And when people who have contracts with him are suddenly found dead with a "Q" burned into their skin, he can't sit idly by.
When he watched the fashion show, he thought it was everything he had seen before. All models the same, with fake smiles, with everything to make them even more attractive to the viewer. In none of them, in his opinion, was one whose eyes reflected the soul. And Six Eyes draws attention to human eyes. He knows people's eyes when they show fear or anger. When they show emotion. According to him, there was nothing interesting in the eyes of these women.
Until you came out from behind the curtain, walking calmly ahead. In an elegant black dress.
Your face showed a certain coldness, but warm at the same time. Your eyes were so mysterious.
White hair caught your attention, and you looked at him once.
And then, the mysterious darkness in your eyes made his heart beat faster.
Despite your emanating true model face, coupled with a nice façade, he felt your beauty was deadly. And he liked it very much. Mysterious danger.
A beautiful cat that can scratch her claws at any time. Even to death.
His eyes sparkled behind his glasses as he felt a little blush appear on his cheeks.
It was the first time he fell in love with someone at first sight.
No... It was the first time he truly fell in love. And he didn't want to lose this chance.
That's why he memorized as many details of your face as possible to catch you at the party after the fashion show. Because he sincerely hoped you'd be there.
Even if this party here may be bloody and trashed tonight.
But the moment everyone heard a few shots and one man fell to the floor lifeless, Gojo knew that this was no time for love or fun for him.
After all, he came here to get rid of enemies in an easy way.
And the orders to anyone who came with him said only: "If you see someone from Q, shoot without hesitation. They're definitely here."
All the people panicked and started to run.
And then each of them took out a gun and started shooting at the enemies.
When the white-haired man saw that you were standing behind the curtain on the stage, without a moment's thought he ran ahead, jumped on the platform and pulled you on his shoulder, to sit behind a meter high and shoot to protect you. His goal in sight has already killed three opponents today.
"What're you-?!" You screamed as you pulled away from him.
You already had a plan to approach one of the Q's from behind and slit his throat!
And he interrupted you.
"Don't be afraid, you won't die." He said to you.
You couldn't see his eyes clearly through his glasses. But you know he's not a cop.
You are in the middle of a fight between mafias.
Arrows started raining in your direction and he then quickly pulled you in front of him, making you kneel in front of him, and he lowered your head to his chest as he bent down so they wouldn't shoot him.
As he knelt, leaning forward, you were underneath his body. That's how he protected you.
You don't know why he did it. But you guess there's a deeper meaning to it.
It was the first time anyone protected you. It was nice of him. Because that man didn't even know you. You only looked at each other once during the show. Few minutes ago!
When there were fewer shots in your direction, you crawled out from under his chest, heading around the narrow stage.
And you, too, reached into your thigh and pulled out a folding knife.
Ignoring the screams of the white-haired man behind you and the shots, you kept walking. Until you finally saw a man with a "Q" tattoo on his neck.
You literally felt the knife sharpening in your hand and you quickly walked over to him without making a sound and smashed the knife into his neck. And then to the side of the head.
You quickly pulled away and sheathed the knife to check for blood. Fortunately not.
You were pulled to your feet by the same man who tried to save you right after all the shots had stopped.
You looked at his face without glasses.
You noticed the beauty and unique vigor of the eyes.
You heard another shot.
You looked to the side to see a dark haired man firing a gun at a man who was sitting with his back against the stage to make sure he was dead. With his head on the side. Because of this, no one could see the hole in his temple and neck, which is why he died.
"That's everyone. None of them managed to escape." He said, addressing the white-haired man. "What about her? Shoot? You don't have glasses."
He pointed the barrel of the gun at you.
You'd love to fight. If only that guy's hands weren't on your shoulders.
"She saw my face, huh... It's okay. We're taking her with us." He said with a smile.
"What?!" you shouted pissed off.
"Baby, you couldn't see my face. It's not against the rules of my Mafia. No one except those closest to me has seen my face or knows my real name. According to the rules, I should kill you or lock you up so you don't tell anyone. However, killing you would be a great loss. You're so beautiful and you got me curious... I don't want to kill someone I fell in love with."
"...Hold on!" You screamed as you pushed him, but he only held you tighter.
"Come on. I just have to admit there's something mysterious about your eyes. What you show on stage is not the real you, is it?"
"Fuck off!"
"Aw, honey..." he mumbled sadly.
He started to drag you by the wrist to the car. And even though you kept leaning against you, when the other man helped him to immobilize your arms, you were put in the car and he got in right behind you. The door was closed.
You noticed the black window in front of you, separating you from the driver.
That's good. Maybe you can kill him.
When he looked away for a moment, you put your hand under your dress, pulling your knife from the belt on your thigh, and suddenly jumped into his lap, putting the blade to his throat.
"Hey, baby, this is how you repay me for helping me? Understand that these are the rules we have." He said with a smile, hands raised in front of you.
"I could handle myself." You growled.
"Such a dangerous, beautiful woman. What part is the real you?"
"Who are you?! Someone from Q?!"
"Slow down a bit. Actually, it's like I'm taking you, so I should be the one asking the questions. But okay. I'm Six Eyes. Mafia boss. And when it comes to Q, I'm their biggest adversary."
You wondered if you should trust him. He didn't seem threatening now. Also, there was no Q anywhere here.
Holding the knife to his throat, you hesitated for a moment on what to do.
This caused his hands to quickly pull you down to the seat. His both hands held your wrists while his hips touched your ass as you lay on your stomach.
"If I was from Q, I'd rather kill myself than be there. And besides, everyone from Q would pay no attention to anything. They would just tie you up, rape you, kill you, and then dump your body in a ditch. Did I do that?"
"If you tried, I'd castrate you." You growled.
"Dangerous. I like it. However..." he let go of your wrists and sat in his place, giving you space. "I don't know if you could do something for me. I must admit your ferocity and hostility is strong. But let's say I'm the Mafia boss and you're the model."
"Do not underestimate me..."
"So tell me, (y/n) (l/n), why shouldn't I underestimate you? Tell me something about you. Because you are famous, but your biography is not known by anyone."
You were locked up in the large villa that was his home for several days. Why? Because he didn't want to lock you up in your old garages. He didn't want you gagged and bound while you sat there for who knows how long.
Your relationship was closer because you liked him. However, there was still some tension between the two of you.
Him, the annoying, selfish asshole and egotist who spoke to you the way he wanted to, and always came in when you least expected it.
He was able to come to you in the bathroom while you were taking a bath.
And he joined you.
That's why things became intimate between the two of you quickly, even though you weren't even a couple. You could just be considered friends now.
And you both liked the relationship you already had.
Nothing changed for the next two weeks.
It doesn't matter how many times you hit him with a pan until he finally let you go.
Of course he didn't because he acted like a child after being hit on the head with a pan. He pretended to cry.
You took good care of him and checked him for any head injury. Everything was fine. So you didn't have to worry.
And then he wouldn't let you get out of bed, wanting to make you feel guilty for doing it.
He was lying on your stomach, making you rub and stroke his head because it hurt. And it was your fault.
You apologized to him, and what else were you supposed to do?
It was your revenge for him locking you in here. And for skipping one of the most important performances where you were supposed to show clothes on stage. However, you couldn't complain, because as compensation for your lost money, you received from him a wardrobe worth half a year of your work. Or even more.
If only he was still good at sex, then you wouldn't complain so much. Because your partners were terrible. It's as if they couldn't do anything.
Besides, you've also been given a luxurious house that you have to live with him anyway.
"Come on. I already apologized to you..." you said, running your fingers through his white hair.
"But it hurt..." he said, pretending to cry.
"You don't even have a trace of it. There isn't even a bump on your head."
"But it still hurt...
"You've probably watched the ball through your opponents more than once, right?"
"Not at all..."
"You're in the mafia, Satoru..."
So yes, he told you his real name with the idea that you can't leave him and leave his house anyway. So your names were used by you on a daily basis.
"I've been in the mafia since my mother gave birth to me. I took it from my father... Besides, nobody ever shot me. Because I shot faster and more accurately than they did. When I was 15 I killed a spy who was looking for our weak point in our defense." He laughed, purring as your fingers swirled in his hair.
"So you had a bloody childhood too?"
"I doubt you shot anyone when you were a teenager." He laughed. "How old are you anyway?"
"I'm 23." You replied.
"Same as me! You see? We are made for each other!" He stood up suddenly, looking at you with sparkles in his eyes.
"Apparently you have a headache." You laughed as you saw him quickly lay down on top of you again. "Come on. Come, let me stroke you a little more."
"Which means you had a bloody childhood?"
"Do you really want to know? Don't you prefer that I leave my mysterious eyes?"
"You're smart and cold, or so you think. At fashion shows and commercials, you change it to a mysterious and sensual façade. However, you can care for someone else."
"I hit you with a pan. Is this supposed to be taking care of someone?"
He laughed slightly.
"It was different. Because I don't forbid you to be aggressive. I understand that you hate me. But now you're stroking and hugging me. You wash me while I wash you. We are not such enemies. Can you say we're lovers?"
"I don't know. But when I was 16, I also did something that probably no other model has ever done." You laughed.
He looked at you for a moment, analyzing what you said.
And 7 years ago, almost 10 people were murdered. And from that moment on, the murders of everyone in the Q group and family began. Starting with some of the closest ones from the family of the boss himself.
And these murders continue to this day. The murderer is impossible to catch because no one knows who he is. The gender of this person is unknown. No one knows what his goals are in these murders.
"This knife... You..." He looked at you questioningly.
"I have a knife scar under my hair. And the blood stains are washing off the skin." You said softly. "You can beat me if you know the truth now. If you think I'll be in the way or I shouldn't kill people like them. But remember that if you try, I will try to protect myself."
"You know it doesn't matter to me We may even be partners in crime. Because this is the woman I fell in love with at first sight." He hugged you, holding you tight.
Your actions for revenge are not ridiculed by him. On the contrary. He supports it.
And he promises that everyone from Q will die.
Because he fell in love with mysterious dark eyes. Eyes that from the beginning hid something murderous. So beautiful.
Just like all of you.
Your relationship was like lovers and enemies at the same time.
Or was it more like partners in crime now?
Dark lovers who don't care about the lives of their enemies. You has a mafia boss, the famous Six Eyes, wrapped around your little finger.
You guided him. His heart.
Such a powerful man was so small and sweet to you. So submissive.
That's why you could give that big little boy what he wanted.
You were still riding his cock until you were out of breath that night.
Or rather, his breath.
When you wonder if he's good at sex, you thought he was going to be average.
However, it is different.
He has a big nice dick.
It really stretches you out. It goes so deep. It hits all the best places.
You could barely feel the thin condom against his thick length as your pussy slid over him, lovingly inviting him into your tight warmth every time you lowered your hips.
His arms were bound with the string you found. It felt so good in his muscles.
He couldn't move while you scratched his arms and bit his neck.
You were riding him, making him moan. His hips pushed upward to meet your warmth. Your hand on the back was catching his balls and you were squeezing the skin in your palm. You pinched his thighs. You ran your hands over his lower abdomen, running your fingers along the veins running down his pubic bone.
Your fingernails ran over his chest, occasionally grazing his nipples.
While riding him, you massaged your clitoris to make you come faster. And you smiled as you watched as his head was thrown back as he red-faced moaned at the feeling of your pussy sucking him. His chest heaved rapidly.
His cock twitched inside you.
And then you pulled it out of you, leaving it out in the air. Only with a thin condom on it.
He moaned as your fingers tightened on the base of him, not allowing him to come.
It was his first ruined orgasm you gave him.
And you think he was always driving during sex. He was downstairs now, but he didn't protest. This guy just needed someone to dominate him the right way.
Very slowly and unbearably, you took the condom off him as the precum began to form a transparent puddle in the sperm reservoir.
Leaning down to his red cock, you kissed his head, listening as he moaned, his hips jumping as he felt a sudden touch against a sensitive part of his body.
He was so red and sensitive from a ruined orgasm. It was so cute.
You sat on his hips, and rubbed your pussy against his length, pressing his shaft against his muscular belly.
At the same time, you pulled his face down to your chest, doing something he always did when he saw you shirtless. You put his head in your breasts and he immediately started sucking on your nipples. Feeling the softness of your skin.
Soon after, he started moaning again and you stopped touching his cock again. If he wasn't tied up now, he would grab the length of it and start stroking himself to feel relieved. But alas, his hands were tied. There was nothing he could do and he was at your mercy.
You pressed your fingers against it again. Ensuring not one drop of his cum will come out of his tip. He couldn't come yet.
You want to see him throw his head back and moan when he wants to cum so much.
You sat on his cock when he didn't have a condom on, and he hissed through his teeth at the hot and tight feeling when he had nothing to separate your insides from his sensitive skin.
You grabbed the second condom and ripped open the wrapper. Only then did you get off of him, watching his wet tip drool.
You put the rubber all the way down his length, and then you sat on him again.
Warming his cock until his eyes were glassy and hazy and his face was so red.
As he threw his head back and his shoulders and hips trembled, wanting to start thrusting into you to come, you gave him some mercy.
You started jumping on top of him, smiling as you watched his heavy breathing and closed eyes.
The mighty mafia boss began to moan beneath you. And his ragged moans coupled with light sobs were the cause of his intense orgasm which was a combination of the three he was about to get. His thighs trembled as he came filling the condom inside you, the heat from his fluids pushing his sensitivity to the limit.
As you pulled him out of you, his cock fell soft against his stomach. You took the filled condom off him and tied it, putting the sticky rubber on his abs.
You lay down next to him, untying his hands, letting him pull your body against his.
Your nights together made him unable to resist you. So when you wanted to go back to your dream job, he had to agree.
Two people followed you across the city.
Even if he trusted you not to tell anyone.
He had your secret and you had his.
Little cameras in people's suits let him see what you were doing.
Well, he knew what you would do with those two.
Besides, he didn't feel sorry for them. They were two deserters who ran away from Q to join his mafia.
And he promised you that everyone who is or even was with Q will die.
That's why when he suddenly saw a pool of blood on the other side, he wasn't surprised and didn't even feel sorry for the two people.
Then he saw your face as you held the camera in one hand and your knife in the other.
"Not nice, Six Eyes ~. I don't like being followed. And we'll keep your punishment for that for later, Okay?"
When you said that, he felt a pleasant shiver that passed over his spine. And he couldn't wait for you to come home.
You were his dark queen.
His dark, beautiful queen will have her beautiful vengeance.
Because you will get everything.
Every year, on your birthday, he would take you to one place where the dirty work of killing was often done.
As a surprise, you got one or two high-ranking Q people.
Because his beautiful queen will always get what she wants.
So if you want revenge, you'll get it. In the best way for you.
You are his killer beauty. His deadly love.

✧˖°. i found you ✧˖°. (4)
|| the sandman x dead boy detectives ||
SUMMARY: You run the dead boys detective agency along with your two best friends. And somehow two ghosts and a living girl make it work. Until you dream one night, of dream himself.
PAIRING: dream of the endless x fem!reader
WC: 3K
WARNINGS: none I can think of
PART 4✧˖°.
"So let me get this straight, ghosts cannot lie to you yet you work with two ghosts who apparently can," Matthew cawed from his place on your shoulder where you were huddled in one corner of the Dreaming library. 
Earlier that day, Dream had intercepted your walk to the bakery nearby your apartment, almost giving you a jump scare, and then brought you back here with him once you'd pleaded to let your ghost friends know you were going out. Since it was a weekend and the agency remained closed, they didn't question you. Although Charles did tease you about a date. If only.  
"Yep that pretty much sums it up. But it's not out of compulsion, it's that ghosts trust me, it's like they have no other option than to trust me. I don't know how it works seriously, just that it has helped a hell lot of ghosts successfully cross over and boom our business. And as far as Edwin and Charles are concerned, well my powers, if you could call it that, did happen after meeting the guys. So," you shrugged.
"Interesting," Matthew mulled over your words, "and this has been going for the past.."
"4 years.”
"And you remember nothing before that? No family, no one from your past?" 
An all so ever familiar brush of sadness tingled every bone in your body. "No," you exhaled. 
"I am sorry.”
"Eh I am used to it now. Besides I love my life with the boys. I did search for any signs of my family, if I had one and then just gave up after a year. The boys are my family now." 
"Include me in too.”
You laughed at Matthew’s response. "Of course you are my precious little raven." 
"My lady," Lucienne's voice greeted you, "he’s ready.”
While you were away, Morpheus had tried to repair the damage only for a fresh bout of earthquakes to replace the previous destruction. Now you made your way to where he stood crafting dreams or nightmares. 
"Mortal," he said in greeting, his back turned to you. 
"Dream.”
He moved aside and your breath got caught in your throat. Staring at you, was a half human, half monster who had a tongue of a reptile and teeth like razors. The stuff of literal nightmares.  
"Make him trust you," Dream spoke.
"Are you crazy?" You looked at him as if someone had cracked his skull open and was gorging on his brains and someone might have with what he was suggesting. 
"You dare-?" 
Yes you fucking dared. What was he expecting you to do, commit suicide? 
But he was after all an Endless, and you did not wish to invoke his wrath so you only mumbled, "I can't do this, you can't expect me to get a nightmare to trust me! It's unreal!" 
"But ghosts trust you.”
"Yes because they are ghosts and he is, well a bloody nightmare.”
"Try.”
"And who's guaranteeing that I won't die trying?”
"I am.” His words were solid pebbles dropping in your guts. 
You don't know what made you take the next step, maybe it was the conviction in his voice, but you stretched your arms forward and warily tried to approach the monster human. You took baby steps towards him, just a few more, you assured yourself but then the nightmare lunged straight for you. You tripped backward and the sandy ground contacted your back. But before the nightmare could contact you, Dream raised his hand and the nightmare vanished into darkness, flecks of what he once used to be gracing the ground in front of you. You got up on your feet, the image of razor teeth inches away from your face still imprinted in your mind. 
"I am sorry Dream I can't do this." 
"What?” A frown displayed on his face. “But I ensured no harm came to you.”
"Dream I was saved from becoming nightmare food by a mere second!" 
"I would not have let any harm befall you." His eyes sook yours trying to convey the determination behind his words. 
Your face softened. You wanted to believe him. You really did. But how could you trust his creations when you did not trust the creator himself.  
"And I am just supposed to believe you?" 
"Morta-"
"You know I have a name. If you want me to help you, the least you can do is stop perceiving me as a fly in your path and call me by my name!" you snapped. 
Dream was silent. 
"Get me out of here.”
You half expected him to deny your request but sand began swirling around you, and the next moment you were teleported back to the waking world. Had he so easily given up on you? Good riddance. 
When you pushed the door to the apartment open, the guys were huddled together on the couch, watching television. 
"Hey! how was your date?" Charles asked, his gaze fixed on the television. 
"Terrible," you murmured and slammed the door to your bedroom behind you. 
The king of Dreams sat on his throne, gazing at the universe contained in his ceiling, when he felt you enter the Dreaming. He always did. He entered the mountain clearing, your lone figure was sprawled on the grass in the distance beneath the starry sky. Before his brain could object, he started towards you.
You must have felt his presence because you bolted upright when he neared you, “Dream,”
His name felt so weightless on your tongue, he wanted to hear it again and again. You on the other hand didn’t know why you were so surprised to see him here, it was his realm after all.
“I told you I am not-"
“Relax Hazel, I am not here to impart any lessons to you.”
Hazel
“So why are you here?”
He opened his mouth and closed it, no answer left him. Had you just seen the Dream Lord hesitate? You patched the grass beside you, an invitation for truce. Tentatively, he sat down, his cloak spooling around him. It was an odd sight, seeing the Dream Lord on the ground beside you, instead of his ceremonious throne.
“Did you create this?” You asked.
“Partially, I had help.”
“I thought only you had the power to create dreams and nightmares.” Your time in the library had been well spent.
“It is true, but the vision can always belong to someone else. His voice was soft, words floating into the winds.
You imagined someone having the vision for this, for this phenomenal beauty you were sitting in and you thanked them.
“It’s beautiful.” Your voice came like a whisper.
Morpheus looked at you. “It is.”
You both sat in silence, gazing at the stars twinkling above you.
Dream’s voice penetrated the quiet. “Mort-Hazel, I never mean to belittle you. And believe it or not, I am grateful to you for your help. But you have to understand that-”
“Then make me understand.” You repeated your words from your first visit to the Dreaming.
Morpheus sighed before the low baritone of his voice reached you. “You know there are seven of us. There is Death, Destiny, Desire, Delirium, Despair, Destruction and I. And it is our purpose to ensure the smooth running of humankind. We have been here since the beginning of time itself and will be here when the last soul departs the Earth-” You had already read all this in the library but let him go on “-but along us siblings, there was,” he paused.
You thought it was for dramatic effect but when he didn’t continue, you called to him, “Dream?”
He inhaled sharply, “Hope.” The word left his mouth in a breathy exhale.  “There was Hope, and she held together what you could call the fabric of humanity.”
“Where is she now?” You asked.
Dream looked at you for some time and answered, his voice a whisper, “dead.”
The hurt in his voice took you off guard. 
“I am sorry.”
Silence engulfed the both of you again.
“Is that the reason behind the earthquakes?”
“Hope and Dream are co-dependent. Neither can exist without the other. We thought, we hoped that the future could withstand the loss of hope, but the inhabitants of the Dreaming grow weak without her pulse and the realm itself is failing.”
“And if it does, so will humanity.” Your words sunk in you.
“Because what are humans, rather any of us, without dreams and hope?” He looked at you.
“And that is why you need me, to instill trust in the dreams and nightmares so that they don’t stray from their purpose to serve humanity,” everything clicked, "Dream I had no idea-“
“It wasn’t your fault,” he stated. “But now since you know how imperative it is for the dreams and nightmares to learn to trust, the shadow of hope, will you help me,” his eyes held yours and there was a delicate plea seeping into his gravelly voice, “save the world?”
“Yes.”
You rested your head against Edwin's torso as you flipped through the mail you were holding. He was propped against the back of the wall as he went through a thick volume of ghost fungi or something. You couldn't care less. The past week had been tiring, an understatement of course. Your every organ was tired, despite sleeping for 10 hours a day. But it wasn't like you were sleeping, Morpheus and you trained every night in the Dreaming, and your grueling efforts had reaped no fruit yet. And during the days, the agency's work took a toll on you. The only respite from your exhausting and rigorous routine was the hour just before dawn, when you'd sit with Dream in your little bubble and gaze at the stars together. You'd begun looking forward to it every day, you had realised with reluctance. 
"Aha! This seems interesting.” You held out a paper in your hand, grabbing the attention of both the boys. 
Charles tilted his head from his position on the table to read the print on the paper. "A demon possession, brills!" 
"So your believe you are possessed by a demon?" Edwin scribbled notes in his notepad. 
"Yes.” The girl's voice was hoarse with crying. 
"And what makes you believe that?" 
"I-I wake up in strange places which I have no memory of traveling to, and there are voices inside my head-”
"Yeah, welcome to being alive duh," you snorted. 
Shit you had said that aloud. 
Charles gave you a rebuking look. 
"Sorry," you muttered. 
"The voices inside my head, they are too loud. He makes me do things I would never do," the girl continued.
"Can you..feel him right now?" 
"No,” she shook her head, “he surfaces only occasionally," she sniffed. 
"Hey." Charles held the girl by her shoulders. "Don't worry, you will be okay. We will get him out, we promise.”
Oh no, there was only one rule. You never ever promised a client. You look up expecting to see Edwin's dismal expression but only find a thin veil of envy coating his features. Oh boy. 
You were just beginning to tease him when you caught the unmistakable unruly hair of the King of Dreams to your right in the distance. 
"Uh guys, I will be right back," you told the group, "really need to pee."
God you needed to work on your excuses. 
"What are you doing here?" You hissed when you neared him. 
Matthew cawed on his shoulder. 
"Pleased to meet you too Hazel.”
"I thought we had a deal, no training during daytime.”
"It's not I but Lucienne who seeks you. She needs your help with the library.”
"Oh?” Spending an entire day in the library of dreams? Sign me up. “Well then I could make an exception for her,” you hummed. 
“Of course, it doesn’t assist any fascination of yours,” he mocked. 
“Did you just attempt sarcasm? They grow up so fast.” You wiped false tears.
“Come now-”
“I need to tell the boys first, and don’t-don’t do that whirlpool thing here,” you looked around, “there are witnesses. Meet me at the-”
Before you could finish, he dissolved into nothingness. Great. 
“Were you um talking to yourself?” Edwin’s voice spooked you. 
You whirled around. “Yeah, just normal sane things.” You added hurriedly, “what’s with the girl?” 
Edwin’s expression changed into annoyance at her mention. “Charles insists on taking her back to the apartment to-“ he drew quotation marks in the air, “-monitor her in hopes of expelling the demon out of her body.”
“Well all the best with that.”
“What do you mean? You aren’t coming back with us?” 
“I just think that since she’s not a ghost and I don’t have any leverage over her, I might pursue other activities today.”
“Like the date?” Edwin frowned.
“No-Yes,” you sighed, giving up. 
“Uh alright have fun. See you tonight.” 
“You too.” 
You were propped up in Lucienne’s chair, combing through yet another volume of the history of the universe. The sheer rarity of this knowledge baffled you. You hadn’t seen Morpheus since he had apparated the both of you in the library. Turns out, Lucienne had been rearranging vast sections of the library today and even though she didn’t exactly need your help with that, she welcomed an eager friend and her joyful company. After hours of studying her intricate filing system and aiding her in that, your tired self now sat a few feet away from where she stacked the remnant books in their allotted places. You simply were in awe of that woman. Matthew chirped from your shoulder, he had seemed to make a home there. Eyes drooping with exhaustion, you slammed the book shut. Should you ask them? It’s now or never right?
“Who was Hope?” 
Lucienne froze in her movements, and Matthew stopped chirping. A feather could be heard dropped in the quiet that you had unknowingly compelled the room into. 
The librarian answered after what felt like hours, “it isn’t our place to say, my lady.” 
You nodded, a part of you had already known her answer. 
“Hazel please Lucienne.”
”Sorry my la- Hazel.”
Jesse, you had learned was the name of the possessed girl, giggled at an extremely, extremely horrid joke of Charles. 
“I don’t understand. That wasn’t funny,” Edwin said. 
Man he really needed to learn to conceal his jealousy better. 
“You and me both buddy,” you said more to yourself. 
“It’s alright mate, it isn’t exactly Victorian humour,” Charles said in between laughs. 
Charles and Jesse were clustered together on the couch, being unnecessarily touchy. Edwin was viewing them with a bitter scowl. 
You nudged him in the ribs lightly, “Someone is jealous.”
“Please, like she is someone a human or ghost could get jealous over.” 
Was he seriously that utterly daft?
“Eds I meant Charles,” you said it in a ‘duh that’s so obvious’ tone. 
“What?” He got immediately defensive. “Charles is my best friend, and nothing more. Nor do I wish him to be,” he jutted his chin out.
“Ok liar, pants on fire,” you squinted at him. 
“Hazel I don’t know how to prove that to you.”
You tittered, “prove it to yourself, love.” 
Edwin sat in deliberate consideration for a while. You glanced at the time, 9:00 pm, you were so tired but the day was young even though the moon was out. A part of you just wanted to escape your destiny and blah blah, but the part that was slowly growing attached to Dream didn't let you do so.
“Hazel?” Charles’ voice pulled you back. 
“Uh yeah,” 
“So tell her about it.”
“About what?” 
“About the case of the sea monster we solved a while back," he said with annoyance, "were you not listening to me?”
“Uh uh. No can do.” You got up, brushing imaginary flecks of dust from your pants. “Anyways lads, I am going to disintegrate myself into my beloved bed now where my beloved sleep awaits me.”
“Who are you and what have you done to my Hazel?” Charles pointed his fingers at you. 
“What?” You laughed. 
“Mate you have been going to bed at 9 pm for more than a week now, you, the one who put the sleep schedule of owls to shame.”
“Yeah I don’t know man I just feel super tired recently.”
“Everything's aces right?” Charles’ voice was concerned. 
“You just seem a lot distant lately,” Edwin added. 
“I do?” Genuine shock seeped into your tone. You needed to cover your tracks better. You fucking hated keeping things from them. Jesse looked curiously at you. 
“Yep boys everything's aces, it’s just called being in your 20's right?” You tried to lighten the atmosphere with a joke. 
They didn’t even seem half convinced but didn’t interfere further as you entered your room and subsequently the land of Dreams. 
The river babbled as it shimmered under the stars. Morpheus and you sat together after another training session. You were getting closer, both you and him were sensing it. You turned your head towards him, his dark eyes held the entire cosmos in them, and his cloak blended into the surroundings. Here in the dark, under the cover of the night, he almost felt like an extension of darkness itself. His hair was wild like always, falling on his forehead, and you had the sudden urge to glide your fingers through them and tuck them back. Embarrassing. 
“Do you wish to say something, mortal?” 
This time the mortal wasn’t used as a deriding remark, rather it had now become a term of endearment between you two. 
“Did you love her?” The question escaped you. 
Morpheus was silent. “Love who?” 
“Hope,” you said, her name on your tongue a weird sensation. 
He didn’t answer. But that was answer enough for you. Dream in love? The literal king of Dreams was capable of experiencing an emotion as tender as love? A pang of something hit your insides. Jealousy? No, can’t be. No way in hell you were falling for an Endless, least of all him. 
Time laughed somewhere in the universe.

Hi! I keep seeing people asking for proof about your manifestation I think it was? Anyways, I was wondering what brought this on 😭 did you make a post saying you manifested a car or smth
Yes it all started with this user loaisacult basically calling loa a cult
And also to note before this person loaisacult made that acc
I’ve had ppl sending me ask on anon right but I never responded to them
Like one of them were like telling me that I’m lying about me manifesting being rich cause I remember in August I showed a picture of how much I manifested money that specifically month August it literally said “August”
And others were asking if I could show something expensive that I own or maybe video it or sum I ignored it
This was back then btw before the loaisacult user made that acc
And I made this post talking about the election if you scroll down you will see it all sudden I saw this user talking about loaisacult calling loa suicidal stuff like that and that made me like really mad it hit my nerves you get what I mean? So after those anon ask or wtv that I have been getting I decided to just show actual video of proof
Of a car a red car Lamborghini right so I entered my car I showed the logo before starting the car I made sure to show the logo to make people see that it’s actually Lamborghini and I also did start the car for some mins
If you watch the vid you can tell that there’s this car next to mine I was at a different place I was sleeping somewhere with my friends I hang out a lot it wasn’t where I lived and there you can’t talk loud like if you’ve ever been in a garage you will understand
This was on November 7 btw
I literally got like many ask sending death threats and other were like doubting me saying “oh this was on somebody ig “ but couldn’t even provide the ig username ?
And so I had my lovely followers and mutuals in the comments saying that I don’t need to provide more proof because it was actually leading to serious issues like it was getting to far
I showed my ig because I said I’m more active there and if you have any questions right you get what I mean
But anyways day after that few days later
I went to tumblr I saw this ask telling me to draw ❤️ + you on my car
I was inside my house and if you look at the back you can see the other cars there yep those are my friends car they came to my house and if you look at the ground you could see a water bottle I put it there so I can erase the the thing I wrote on my car right
I had to come out of my house to just write that thing on my car
Mind you I already stated before that I own other cars the red car is not the only car I own I put it in my car collection
So I was like okay let me just draw it on the car then
After I showed that picture of me drawing on the car I literally got death threats sent to me and my friend so that’s why I rushed to tumblr saying that I’m not providing any proof anymore
Like it got to a point where they sent death threats to my friends even tho I did exactly what the anon told me to do ? It’s like no matter how much proof you give you will still get death threats
So I was like I’m not providing any more proof to anybody because I’ve had enough I care about my friend’s safety if something is putting negativity in my life I will not do it
And then this user I forgot her username she came in asking if I could write my username on a paper to the red car ignoring how I literally did what the other anon asked me to do ?
And I was like thinking to myself that no matter what you do people will not believe and I will still get death threats so what’s the point ?? Plus she came late I already have reached my limits
She went on calling me a liar because I wasn’t consistent with my post and how I was with the red car and now I’m with yellow even tho I have stated that the red car is not the only car I own
Plus the vid with the red car was filmed on November 7 and the death threat I got was today November 14 she didn’t even know the date💀 and just went on telling me that im inconsistent with my post
That user IS SO LATE yet have the odacity to say something
She also mentioned how the place was different and I said yes you could clearly see that that place was a different place I was at my friend house I slept there
And she said that “oh so does your friend know you’re claiming their cars to be yours”
It’s just so insane because if my friend can own that car that means I can’t own a car like that too?
And I told her do you know something called driving ? (Because of the yellow car )
Or car collection? (Because of red car )
And I told her that she just proved my point that no matter what you do people will not believe you
You can paint your car, write something, and even write your username THEY WILL NOT BELIEVE YOU and they will still send me death threats
Me giving proof resulted in me getting death threats and my friends somehow
So I was like I’m not providing any proofs anymore like what the hell?
Wait part 2 coming

"Dancing this Short Summer Night Away with You" Cain SSR Card Story - Visiting the Orchestrion ~ Respite for Cain
Tumblr media
✦✧☾✧✦
Here's something that happened on a day where the birds outside were singing especially cheerily.
Akira: (It's almost Cain's birthday. I wonder if he'd like to go to the Orchestrion of Respite with me to celebrate.)
I held the magic item that Rustica had given me--the Orchestrion of Respite--and drew my hand across the lid. It looked like a music box from back home, but if you held it while making a wish for a certain someone to be truly at peace, it would transport both oneself and the wizard in question to a little pocket dimension designed to do exactly that.
Akira: (But if I'm going to do that, I need to make sure I have a solid image of who he is. It's hard to sum him up in just a word, though…mm…)
Owen: Well hello there, Master Sage. Looks like you've got something good there.
Akira: Oh, Owe--waugh! You're all dirty and beat up! Did you get in a fight again…?
Owen: That has nothing to do with you.
Akira: Wah?!
Owen snatched the Orchestrion from my hands and promptly lifted himself up into the air, just out of reach no matter how desperately I tried.
Akira: Um, Owen…!
Owen: If you want me to give this back to you, then I need you to do something for me.
Akira: …Like what?
Owen: This can trap someone inside it, right? So I'm going to put Cerberus and wolves and poisonous insects in it, and you are going to go get Mithra for me. Isn't the idea of Mithra getting stung by bugs over and over in a place he can't escape from just delectable?
Akira: Are you mad at him right now…? Wait, no, that's not the point. This is supposed to be for letting everyone rest and recover…
Owen: Oh, is that right. Hey, out of nails and eyes and eardrums, which do you like best?
*Akira: Eek…!!
Cain: --Hey, Owen! What are you doing to the Sage?
Akira: Cain!
Cain ran out of the main building and stepped directly between me and Owen. Owen narrowed his eyes, clearly irritated, and put his fingers on the clasp that kept his trunk locked shut.
Owen: Don't interrupt. Do you want me to ki--
Cain: Yeah, yeah, I don't want to die, et cetera. Instead of worrying about that, check this out: I got crepes.
Akira: (Hello?!?! Owen's on the verge of releasing Cerberus and that's what Cain has to say about it?!)
Owen: … Crepes?
Cain: Yep, Nero just finished making them. I came out here to ask the Sage if they wanted any, but I guess you can come too, Owen.
Owen: …Are they filled with sweet viscera?
Cain: Viscera… Well, there's no custard cream, but there is whipped cream, fresh fruit, chocolate cream, and that stuff made by boiling apples.
Owen: It's called compote. …Hmph, well, I guess I don't need this after all.
Akira: Huh… Eep! Hey, don't throw it, what if I couldn't catch it and it fell…
Owen: Bye-bye.
Cain: Woah! He vanished… Good grief, he really just does whatever he wants, huh.
Cain shrugged. He looked a little frustrated, but he was still acting casual about it all. The two of them had a lot of history together, but the fact that things hadn't turned fatal was all thanks to Cain's natural personality.
Akira: (It's sort of like he's saying that he wants them to start over fresh. Even though surely there's parts of that history that stick with him, he's just accepted it and kept moving forward…)
Cain: Let's go eat, too. If we don't hurry, he's going to eat all the sweet stuff before we can have any.
Akira: Ah, okay! Yes!
I followed after him, admiration for his way of life warm in my heart.
✦✧☾✧✦
A few days later…
Akira: (I'm getting hungry. I wonder if there's any snacks in the kitchen…hmm? I can smell something tasty from outside…)
Cain: Oh, Master Sage. I haven't seen you since this morning.
Akira: Oh, Cain! Good afternoon.
Cain walked into the hall with a paper bag in his arms, which was perfuming the air with the smell of butter and sugar.
Akira: Did you go shopping?
Cain: Yeah, I had some stuff to do near the marketplace, so I got some financiers to bring back. Want one?
Akira: Yay, thank you!
Cain: Let's go find Riquet and eat with him. He's usually…in the common room with Mitile around this time of day. Hold on, I'll go get them. …Wait, that's right. I still need to do something about the new one…
Akira: New one what?
Cain: Right, so, I actually ended up buying so much that the shopkeep gave me one of a brand-new flavor as a little bonus. But there's exactly one of them, so I'm kinda worried about people arguing about who gets to eat it. Arguing over snacks would suck.
Akira: Yeah, I get it. Well, since you were the one who bought them, I think you should--
But right as I started to say that, my stomach decided to make its irritation with its emptiness known and cut me off with a very embarrassing growl.
Akira: (I… I'm so embarrassed!! That was as loud as Oz's thunderstorms…!)
Cain: Ahaha! Sounds like you're feeling lively.
Akira: I--I'm so sorry!
Cain: What are you apologizing for? Here, say ahh.
Akira: Huh? Ahh…mmph!
I just opened my mouth without really thinking about it, and Cain pulled a financier out of the bag and popped it into my mouth. I snapped my mouth shut in surprise, biting into the sweet treat, and taste of butter filled my mouth.
Akira: Munch munch… That was so good!
Cain: Right? That was the new one. It was made with seasonal fruits. Pretty decadent, huh?
Akira: Huh?! I can't believe you gave me something so valuable just because my belly rumbled…
Cain: You don't need to get all worked up about it. If anything, it's good that I got to give it to you before anyone else got one. Now no one's gonna argue over who gets to have it. Everyone else will have the chance to go out and get one of their own, anyways. …Oh, Akira, hold on a second.
Cain brought his hand up to my cheek, an airy, careless gesture. The look of care in his eyes as he drew near, the feeling of the pad of his thumb brushing over my lips… It was hard to describe how they made me feel.
Cain: Haha. You had some crumbs on your mouth.
Akira: I…I'm sorry. Thank you.
Cain: What's your face getting all red for? Embarrassed?
Cain smiled his ever-charming smile. I felt the warmth of the summer sun blooming in my chest.
Akira: (Cain's kind, carefree nature is something I've been relying on since the very first day I arrived here.) (Ah… Yes, that's it.) Um, Cain, your birthday's coming up soon, right?
Cain: Oh, yeah. Something up?
Akira: The thing is, I…wanted to take you to the Orchestrion of Respite as a thank-you for everything you do. Would that be okay?
Cain: Of course, I'd be happy to go! Arthur told me about it a while back and I've been kinda interested ever since. I'll be looking forward to it, Master Sage.
Akira: …! Of course!
And I meant it with all my heart. I smiled and walked with an extra spring in my step--that day couldn't come soon enough.
✦✧☾✧✦
And finally, it was Cain's birthday.
Akira: Are you ready?
Cain: Yep.
Cain nodded, clad in the outfit that Chloe had made especially for today. It made him look a little more classy…a little more formal than usual.
Akira: (Alright…) (I wish for Cain, so compassionate as to let bygones be bygones, so kind as to shine light into the hearts of others, to feel the same peace he grants to others.)
I squeezed my eyes shut and directed all the emotions in my heart into the music box in my hands. And then, the lid silently opened… On the stage within, a little doll that looked just like Cain began to dance, pirouetting in place. It took only moments before I could hear the sound of music, at first gentle, like a far off wave lapping against the metaphorical shore we stood upon-- And then, a dazzling light embraced us.
✦✧☾✧✦
Cain: So this is the Orchestrion of Respite… All the greenery smells great. This is a nice place.
The light dimmed, and we found ourselves in a wondrous location. Transparent instruments, as though they were soap bubbles or made of glass, floated jubilantly through the air as sunlight filtered through the leaves above, gently illuminating the area.
Cain: What song is this? Obviously I can't see them, but is there an orchestra here, too?
Akira: Nope! It's all part of the magic, or so I was told. It's set up so that the person invited inside has a perfectly fitting song playing for them!
Cain: I see. Well, just standing here listening to it is making me want to gallivanting around in armor, so I'd say I like it. It's a good song.
Akira: I'm so happy to hear that. Alright, now come this way.
His smile had put a spring in my step, so I got there before he did. It didn't take long for him to join me at the edge of a small plaza that had low tables around the edges.
Cain: Freshly fried bacon, alcohol, juice… Were you the one who came up with all this?
Akira: Yes. I figured that knowing you, you'd want this to be a place where you could dance, so…here's a wide-open space to dance in, and snacks and stuff for when you want to rest.
Cain: Haha. You know me so well. Well then, let me take you up on that. Shall we dance, Akira?
Akira: Yes!
I nodded eagerly, and with one hand Cain took one of mine, and the other he placed on the small of my back. His mismatched eyes sparkled with hidden mischief.
Akira: Wahh…!
Cain: My fair Akira. Have you had the chance to dance a waltz before?
Akira: U--umm, I wouldn't say I'm good at it, but I know the basic steps, at least…
Cain: I couldn't ask for more. We're all alone here--let's dance however we want together. Now, let us take to the floor.
Keeping his hand on my back, Cain led me out into the clearing--a knight escorting his partner. At first it felt like we were just walking together, but soon enough I realized that I'd completely fallen in step with Cain. We were dancing together. I let myself get lost in his lead, laughing happily as we danced and twirled. All of my anxiety about if I could dance well had evaporated.
Akira: Happy birthday, Cain. And also, thank you for everything. You've been looking after me ever since the day I first arrived in this world.
Cain: Hey now, I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for keeping all of us together. I feel like if the new Sage was anyone but you, the twenty-two of us wouldn't all be living together in the manor the way we are now. Even if we did still end up living together, if it was because we were ordered to, or because someone was forcing us…we definitely wouldn't have the life together that we have now.
Akira: Th-that's giving me too much credit…
Or so I said, but Cain looked directly into my eyes.
Cain: It's because you're you, Akira. It's because of your kindness, your sincerity, and your fair and impartial judgment that all of us are together the way we are now. Certainly, unpleasant things have happened, and there have been times when I've just had to grin and bear it. But we've been able to talk things out, argue constructively, and the next day we all still want to stay here, together. You're an amazing person.
Akira: …I…
I didn't even know what to say. I just bashfully looked down at the stones under our feet. The weight of these words, coming from the person who had always been at my side…was so gentle that I wanted to cry. Today was his birthday, but I was the one who was being celebrated.
Cain: Getting to have you all to myself today has made this the best birthday I've ever had. Thank you for giving me such a luxury.
Akira: …I need to thank you too, for letting me spend today with you when everyone else loves you, too.
My chest burned with the heat of how grateful I was to have this irreplaceable moment with him--so I said the magic words one more time.
Akira: Happy birthday, Cain.
Training Episode: Until the Day I Pull the Cork
Akira: Good morning, Cain!
Cain: Oh, Master Sage. Good morning. Thanks for yesterday. Our party in the Orchestrion was tons of fun.
Akira: Oh no, thank you! It was your birthday, but I ended up feeling like I was being celebrated right alongside you. Right, speaking of, after the party everyone else from Central Country gave you a present, right?
Cain: Yeah, a bottle of liquor I really like. Apparently Oz remembered me saying how much I liked it every time I had the chance to drink it in Shylock's bar. Arthur was the one who actually acquired it, and Riquet made some prayers over it.
Akira: It's a present that has all their feelings wrapped up in it! The flavor must be extra special now.
Cain: Well actually, I haven't drank it yet. I know I'd just down the whole thing in one go, so I'm exercising my self-control instead.
Akira: Ahaha, I get you. I think keeping good care of it until you feel like the time is right is good, too.
Cain: Oh, I know. Maybe I'll put it up on display in my room with my memories of yesterday… Maybe I'll wait to open it 'til Riquet's had his first taste of alcohol.
Akira: Oh…! That sounds like a lovely idea!
Cain: Right? We could turn it into a whole thing and have an uncorking party with everyone under a big banner or something!
Akira: In that case, I'll have to make some extra special snacks for the occasion. If you don't mind me joining in, of course!
Cain: Of course you can! Ahaha, even though it's gonna be a long wait from now 'til then!

It's Been A Long, Long Time (R13+)
Pairing: miguel o'hara x f reader
summary: your canon event was losing your family including your husband, Miguel and your daughter, Gabriella. Instead of Miguel, you became this Earth's Spider-woman.
word count: 900+
warning: depression, trauma dumping
characters: hobie brown, jessica drew, miguel o'hara, y/n
A/N: Hi! This'll be my first post in this account. I just love the plot and reality shifted into it and now I got sum tea for all of y'all. This is just a part of what happened in my DR, just added some details.
Tumblr media
Exhausted from yet another grueling overtime shift at work, you arrive home craving to be greeted by the warm embrace of your husband. Instead, you find an empty home, with no signs of life or activity. It's been 4 years since they've passed.
The silence is deafening, and you can't help but feel a sense of emptiness wash over you. You managed to eat a fastfood take out dinner, take a bath, cry in the tub and then go to bed. You laid down and felt a tingling sensation in your brain.
It's your spidey-sense. You knew something bad is gonna happen but you just don't seem to care, your heart froze over the years. Mourning and grief is all you've ever known.
Still, you reached for the lamp and looked by the window in your apartment.
"Why can't they all just die?" You sighed coldly, raising an eyebrow.
Two men was fatally struck and got ran over by a truck. You notice that glitch again as the sirens fill the road, You went back into bed like nothing happened, still as empty as before. It's been a year since you stopped meddling with civilians, you didn't see a point in saving them.
As you drift off to sleep, a bright, glitchy hexagonal portal appeared into your room, interrupting your sleep. A 7 foot tall, muscular spider variant, another female variant and a spiderpunk variant appeared from the portal.
You pressed the arc reactor at the back of your neck and immediately changed into your spidersuit.
"Amor?" The tall variant asked softly. You recognized his voice immediately because he's the only one who calls you that. You started to tear up under the suit and asked yourself if you're only dreaming. Emotions rush back into your brain after a long time.
"Miguel?" You removed your mask.
"Amor mio!" He greeted you with an embrace, his squeezing hug felt real. You froze in place, completely shocked and confused.
"Is she?" Spiderpunk whispered at the lady.
"Yep. Just let him have his moment." She replied calmly.
"You're back." Your voice breaks as he removes his mask, revealing his watery eyes. He looked at the window for a moment and asked the spiderlady and spiderpunk to fix the 'canon disruption' outside.
"What's happening?"
"Amor, you left traces of canon disruptions for the whole year. Lyla, can you run it?" A small holographic display of a virtual assistant appeared next to him. She explained what canon events are and you ignoring your senses and not saving the neighborhood is a canon event that should be stopped.
"So you were monitoring me since then?" A punch of anger and confusion struck your chest.
"Mi vida, I'm not from here. I'm from another dimension." He explains, holding your hand. He's kneeling on your bed where you sat.
"Wow. So, you can do all this, visit me." You scoffed. He looks down, fidgeting his shaky fingers.
"You can access this dimension all this time but you never did." You have so many questions and you're walking back and forth, having a crisis while asking where he's been all this time. Those questions are left in the open, halted by a moment of silence.
"I lost Gabriella too." He sighs. You halted for a moment to face him. He's staring at the floor, inner brow raised, openly expressing his sadness and regret. His words hang in the air, the gravity of what he's just said hits you like a force of a bullet.
"I tried to live in a universe where I was dead and you're both alive..... but tragedy followed me everywhere.
When I found you and this universe, my hopes went up but I realized that I should probably leave you alone cause I got scared."
"Miggy..."
"It's better being a coward than watch you glitch away repeatedly." His grinned with a pair of watery eyes, trying to hold it back.
"Honey, I'm sorry. I didn't know." You placed your hand on his shoulders. Your touch provided him a sense of comfort and relief.
"I understand, but what you did here, almost causing a nexus event, It's gruesome, It's cold, That's no way to live." He sat next to you, looking directly at your dark hollowed eyes. He's not mad but rather concerned. He knows everything you did, ignoring the city, causing New York to be a hellhole and a safe haven for criminals.
"I know. I feel rotten since you've been gone. I was weak and I didn't know how to cope. I know I can never bring back their lives, I can't save them if I'm drowning but I'll accept the consequences of my actions."
"I'm sorry you feel that way, but this is the only way I can take you with me. I won't make you suffer any longer." He sat you down on the bed and kneeled in front of you, holding your hands in a loving manner.
"Wait.. am I dying? Are you.. are you a ghost?" You cupped his cheeks and lightly taps it, checking his body heat.
"No no no, I'll take you with me. To my universe." He let out a soft chuckle, taking your hand and planted kisses on it.
Your face lightens up, you didn't understand how that would happen but you're just grateful to be together with him. That's what you both longed for, finally having a chance to be together.
"Let's go home."

I will say, going back and reading the past chapters to the recent pages, Bright's chaotic and kinda...unstable personality that has a callous regard for life is hinted at before now. Playing with that mouse just to amuse herself. Her narrowed eyes and smile while waiting for Jasper like hehehehehehe my dad is gonna fuck someone up. She takes pleasure in the work her father gives her, and we know her family's work is often bloody or cruel. The breadcrumbs for chaotic evil were very much placed.
All that to say, props to you guys!! Excellent writing and setup.
Yep, Bright's whole deal is purely personality based. She just sees everything - and I mean everything - as a game and just has a dark sense of humour. Many have taken to comparing her to Harley Quinn and I think that pretty much sums up what we're going for.
And thank you so much, I'm glad you picked up on tidbits that Bright... is just Bright. No tragic backstory or secret medical diagnosis to be had. She's literally just being her and I'm looking forward to writing this kind of character because of that. c: - RJ

Boycott!
Tumblr media
I'm running out of gifs… This is not a joke
Tumblr media
But well, I guess I'll have to repeat the same gifs from this anime/vocaloid/manga (Yep… That's the best way I can sum it up)

Now that I have your attention:

RANDOM THOUGHTS: Unknown ep. 9
Considering the preview we got in the previous episode, I’m expecting chaos in this one. And I’m expecting the chaos to get emotional. Let’s see.
We’re back in Yuan’s teenage years.
Is it weird that I think Qian is hot when threatening to show Lili what the end of the world looks like?
Damn, the episode is called “The day before the end of the world”. That’s ominous.
Seriously,  I can listen to soft-spoken Yuan all day long. It’s the most soothing voice I’ve ever heard.
Shirtless Yuan!
Come on, Qian. Don’t go through Yuan’s stuff… I get that Qian finding that letter might be a catalyst for something, but still…
So, Yuan’s a secret hacker or something? That’s hot.
The way I cackled when San Pang said Quian acts like a wife trying to catch her cheating husband!
Look at Sam playing a doctor with his own noodles now. (If you know, you know.)
The way I cackled when he opened the pack of noodles! I wasn’t expecting to laugh this much while watching this episode. But, perhaps it’s an indication of the emotions that are coming…
Yuan is taking care of business.
And so it begins…
So I’m guessing Le got a gun from Long.
Qian just flung himself right into the fight without thinking. That’s my boy! Protecting his family is his number 1 priority.
Yep, there’s the gun.
Seriously, who’s the boss? Le or Hu? It’s about time Le gets rid of Hu who keeps undermining him. So, I’m guessing Hu will get the bullet in this Russian roulette?
Qian screaming like that is killing me...
Damn, it was ballsy of Le to try one on himself.
Yuan's pleading is even more heartbreaking. This soft-spoken guy… Screaming and pleading like that… With that panic…
Um… I seriously thought Le would shoot Hu. That was kind of an anticlimax…
But the way Le left made me chuckle. He’s so ridiculous and threatening at the same time it’s funny.
If “my life can be summed up with two words, Wei Qian” isn’t proof that Yuan’s whole world revolves around Qian, I don’t know what is.
And now Qian is finally doing some introspection. That trigger (and the letter he found) did really trigger something in him, didn’t it?
This was another great episode. I was expecting Qian and Yuan to both survive the Russian roulette. But there were some other things I didn’t expect in this episode. Like Hu getting away with challenging Le again, and that I would laugh as much as I did.
I can’t wait for the next episode where it seems like Yuan will be upset at Qian for keeping his health condition secret (understandable). That’s going to be an interesting episode, isn’t it? And, honestly, I can’t wait to see Yuan being avoidant.

Heart on fire: spark.
Yang woke up as stretched before hoping out of bed and noticed... Her teams form was empty. Guess she probably overslept. She soon got dressed and made her way down to the mess hall as she saw something not surprising. Jaune frozen in a block of ice as a very frustrated Weiss was eating her eggs.
Yang: what VB do this time?
Thats when yang noticed a box of chocolates that ruby was devouring. With Weiss glaring at the red reaper.
Weiss: you have no idea if bad timing do you dolt?
Ruby: what? Jaune spent L50 on this for you. And I don't feel like having good things go to waste. You want some pyrrha?
Pyrrha: o-oh thank you ruby but I'll have to decline and also Weiss I wanna ask you something.
Weiss raised an eyebrow as pyrrha whispered into her ear before Weiss went red in the face.
Weiss: t-thats very bold of you pyrrha. Let's discuss this in my teams dorm.
Weiss got up as her pyrrha left with yang just sitting at the table.
Yang: Blake how much you wanna bet-
Blake: oh their already doing it.
Yang: oh right you can hear em.
yang then stared at the still frozen jaune as she sighed.
Yang: VB probably is gonna have the shock of his life
Ren: he's still conscious. So he just saw everything.
Nora: yep. Atleast now he's not gonna be frozen in ice anymore... Hopefully.
Yang: well look on the bright side next time he'll keep his c-
Blake: yang. Don't even finish that joke.
Yang: oh come on it's funny.
Ruby: yang. No offense sis but I think you can hold off on the jokes for today
Yang: you sure? Alright then. and tell vb good luck with the reveal
Yang got up and began walking as Blake perked up and looked at her questioningly
Blake: and what leads you to say that?
Yang just shrugged as she continued walking
Soon the lewd moaning of Weiss was heard and gauging from the height the sound was coming from. They were doing it on Ruby's bed... Lovely.
To describe how jaune felt could be summed up In one word... Humiliated. he felt so stupid for all the attempts he made for Weiss. Jaune wanted to just bury his face in the dirt as he groaned into his hands. That's before a knock was heard on his teams door as he got up and opened it and was immediately met with a bag being handed to him... Well more of.. thrown at him.
As he caught it he saw one familiar yang xiao long.
Jaune: oh hey yang. Uh what do you need? And why did you throw a bag-
Yang: we're training lady killer. So pack a towel and extra clothes because I'm gonna make you sweat.
Jaune went wide eyed as yang had a grin on her face before jaune responded with a smile on his face as he nodded.
(feel free to continue this if you want everyone.)
(and sorry my writing is probably shit, really tired at the moment)

I place Tami back in her crib, then turn on my recording equipment to start another video for my channel.
Wade: *in front of the camera* What’s up, SimTube? It’s your boy Dub. I’m back to update you on what life’s been like with a new baby girl. I can sum it up in one word - disgusting. *laughs* Yep, I’ve been spit up and peed on. But I say it with a smile on my face. I’m not upset because I know these are the badges of fatherhood, and I wear them proudly.
Wade: *continues* I grew up on a farm, and part of my duties was cleaning the cow shed. I hated every minute and despised my Dad for making me do it. I can’t even count the number of piles of poop I accidentally stepped in during that time. I ruined so many pairs of sneakers. But it was a sacrifice I had to make because our cow, Cocoa Puffs, needed me to keep her environment clean so she could stay healthy and thrive. It didn’t matter if it was my birthday or a holiday — there were never any days off. I didn’t appreciate it then, but now I see that my Dad was teaching me the selflessness it takes to care for something other than yourself. Now, those same things apply to my daughter. Caring for her will probably ruin every pair of pajamas and favorite shirt I own before it’s all said and done. But I’ll wear those spit-up and pee stains with pride because I know I’m doing what it takes to ensure she grows healthy and happy. It will be worth it.

On billionaires and why they shouldn’t exist
I don’t think anyone that earns a normal wage who supports the ability to earn 1,000,000,000 dollars (yes, there’s 9 zeros) truly gets how much one billion of anything is. One million, sure. Ten million, yep! One hundred million, maaaybe… but one billion???
To put it into perspective, if we traveled back in time by one million seconds, we’d travel about 11 or 12 days into the past, so about a week and a half ago. If we traveled back in time by one billion seconds, it would be 1993.
So now we know, one billion is a lot. But one still asks, “Why shouldn’t you have a billion dollars? Why is that level of wealth inherently bad or wrong?” First, I’m so glad you asked! Second, when there are people living paycheque to paycheque, when there are people living in tents who can’t afford to feed only themselves, let alone any kids or pets, why should someone who could afford 76, 923, 077 copies of The Catcher in the Rye have that kind of wealth?
Is life fair? No. But could it be fair enough that there aren’t people who could drop 100k on a Rolex and not see a dent in their bank account and people who can barely afford a new shirt living side by side when one could easily help the other? YES!! It could be!! There is no truly ethical way to earn a billion dollars.
From musicians selling dozens of variants of the same album or CD to keep their charts up and fill their pockets, to entrepreneurs cutting costs on literal vehicles, to apps charging for verification, to business owners underpaying their workers, one cannot earn such a sum of wealth and be able to truthfully say, “I really earned this in my own right, and no one has been hurt by my rise to luxury.”
Yes, the world of business is competitive. Yes, it’s eat or be eaten. But it doesn’t have to be. Capitalism will kill us all, with the rich being cryogenically frozen to be awoken in the far future, and the rest of us dying as either drones or deviants in the system.
When you can pay your way out of accountability or shame, the rules just cease to apply. When you can’t, the rich crack down on you like the gum stuck to their shoe, no matter if you committed arson or if you just looked “too mangy” too near to them.
News flash to the rich, charitably is an option and basic kindness is free… but when you have a Rolls Royce you can afford to give something to the less fortunate.
