ace and deuce resting their head in S/Os lap

Re-upload from terminated blog squid-god-supreme

Deuce spade ♠♠♠

Deuce was definitely not having a good day

Between tests and people testing his already very thin patience he was pretty down in the dumps lemme tell you

So when he saw you he was like “finally”

And when you offered to let him rest his head in your lap!?!?!! Akaknshsoansbeoekbe

Baby boy almost exploded right then and there.

Stands still for a while shocked before enthusiastically nodding his head

He’s so red aknsjsjejsns it puts riddle to shame!

He feels stiff at first but once you start peting his hair and singing???

He melts in your lap like a puddle

Never wants to leave he’s so comfy and content alsbdiebslnd dksmdbd

You honestly make him feel so much better 👉👈🥺

Really likes if you maybe scratch his scalp a little, maybe give him a for head kith 🥺👉👈

I simp so hard ngl

Ace trappola ❤❤❤

It takes a lot to get ace down but he’d honestly had a really shity day ngl

Completely skips out on his chores lmaooooo

Go’s straight for you in order to rant

When you offer to let him rest his head in your lap he 110% jumps at the chance skskskks

Is about to start complaining about his day when you start running your fingers through his hair and he shuts up

Prolly the most calm you’ve seen him

Legit melts like aksbdhgubrsn.

And when you start singing???

What was he even mad about again??

Likes if you ruffle his hair every once and a while

Deadass falls asleep not even kidding he’ll deadass fall asleep on your thighs

Now that full moon has come out, how do you think apology tour will play out, with clips from the trailer that seem to be from that episode? We know now how their conversation went after the crystal which was about 75% what most fans thought. Whether stolas was invited by verosika or not, he will sing a song about Blitz, at a concert called Blitzo Sucks. For me, after this episode, stolas singing a song bashing blitz seems unfair. And I’d hate for it to be seen as character development for stolas to feel empowered by saying he’s better off without blitz.

Hum ok so here's the trailer without full moon.

(sorry it makes the sound a bit garbled)

So yer we can assume all stuff with Verosika, or them in the same outfits is going to be apology tour. 🙂

Wait didn't we see Stolas calendar.

This half of the season has been fairly close together.

Humm ok going to guess that whatever gets Stolas to Voroskia's show is the scary thing with 2 !!

Heh he also put a dick on the calendar, these two are so alike. 😆

Hang on, I'm about to fall down a rabbit hole. So Western Energy and Oops are a week apart, with Mammon's Magnificent Musical Mid-Season Special shortly after.

Going to guess Western Energy is on the 4th with the 5th and 6th blacked out with Blitz's freekout to find Barbie.

Can see the 5th says 'kill all!!' and 'check the van!!'

Humm can see why it'd need checking after that.

Could be Oops was on the 15th with 'Call Fizzarolli" being the day after?

Not sure where Mammon's Magnificent Musical Mid-Season Special would be though. Maybe 21st if 'kill that fucking guy's is about the creepy stalker?

Ok, back on track.

Going guess that Blitz goes to talk to Stolas in his garden.

Trying to pretend nothing happened, that they can just go on as normal like they did in seeing stars.

And gets snarked at because Stolas isn't having it. Something he says makes Blitz need to talk with Voroskia.

Possibly the "any kind of remorse for what you do?" bit. (Honestly still sounds like a line to Stella, but they played the other bits straight so now less sure).

Think Blitz sneaks in, looks like he might have hidden under a drop cloth from backstage. Gets into a fight with Verosika before the show " the everyone in hell is shity" bit. Possibly mentioning the breakup with Stolas.

He ends up ticking around for the show when he sees Stolas there.

Voroskia does her normal Blitz sucks song (effigy cake cutting in it);

then invites Stolas to also dump on him because of what Blitz says.

Stolas song starts off about how his life was crap before Blitz (parles with You will be ok),

that he loved this guy who made him happy, but who never wanted him back,

that their relationship was just coursing them both pain, that Blitz was never happy with him,

and that the image in his head of them has been shattered.

Looks like Voroskia comes to twist the knife at how badly Blitz screwed up a really good thing.

Hopefully with them talking and her getting real closure? While Blitz finally come to see Stolas.

Blitz breaks into Stolas' bedroom after the show and they both talk. (Can see they're on his bedroom sofa).

With them agreeing to give it a shot but not really defining what that is. (What can I say I still think they'll be dummies).

(Sorry this tuck a bit to get back to you. My draft got eaten by save errors grumble).

[julietapark]

Man is happy

Ohh I’ve loved this JK’s live…

He was happy an confortable with us…

The comments almost all were ok… suggesting songs… purple hearts…

It really made me happy, it was a healthy moment

So…

He did as we predicted because I ’m 99% sure he knows we know his pattern: “JM is busy… Bam is in the school… let’s have fun with armys”…

And

Who knows… Maybe he is relieved with what happen the past week. Imagine being romantically shipped with a good-hetero-friend of yours by some crazy f**kers that say they are your fans… and suddenly ( well.. if it wasn’t Taennie’s decision, that I believe it was) something happens that gets you out of that shity equation… ohhh I would be thrilled!!!!!!And so maybe he has spent some quality time with his Jimin… with that relieved feeling, doing whatever they want…

And

Then our beautiful man starts to sing Angel part 1 !!!!!!!! And keeps doing it!!! Ohhh 😍

I’ve read somewhere that we should be happy and feel honored for being witnessing this amazing and unique love story, and I do!

Have a good day!!

[mrs-monaghan]

They click each other....after the concert when their eyes meet they can understand each other's feelings.

Its about their bond that we are talking....how many time everyone debunks it, jungkook will take jimin's side no matter what. There is history of his defending his hyungs for his jiminie hyung. If everything is still a fan service for you then i have no words. Some anons are getting on my nerves. If you're insecure about jikook please leave and believe whatever you want. We here talks about jikook and their bond.

To believe in jikook we don't want 'proofs'. They didn't said you about NY trip didn't mean that they ain't together. They didn't said you about jeju trip doesn't mean they ain't together. Let tme leave alone.

But are you ready to take another GCF ft NY??? I don't think releasing (if there is any) it during this time is that so easy for jeon. Pjms might go wild and dragging jk for using j/m for covering those so called 'shits' which happened yesterday too.As usual tkkrs calling it as fs. I won't be surprised. But that is JK we are talking about. The man who give idgaf attitude and hot af.

So jikookers ain't getting contents doesn't mean that we were jokers who believed in our imagination. They are closer than anything in this world. If not please explain Letter and his little secret jungkook in that song. They never uttered a single word about it. Jungkook has listened to it in his live too...never he went like " oohh jiminie hyung asked me to sing this last part or oh jiminie hyung skjsjsjjs" upto that song he was literally 'jiminie hyung this jiminie hyung that' He never talked about it because it was jimin's story. If jimin is not ready to talk about it why should jungkook do it ? How can jungkook do it ?

If he is having some other person in his life , why would the presence of jimin is calming him down? Making his feel comfortable? Do you think he is such a shity bf? That man has showed most of his sides... atleast just trust him.

Mount Everest is the highest mountain in this world..but I haven't seen it. Just because I haven't seen it doesn't mean there is no such thing. Some anon need to calm down and some may leave as a fandom cleanse.

I'm just pouring out my heart here. Thankyou shaz for always being a comfortable person.

Oh wow... I love this anon. Great read. Excellent points.

[dyingtobehim]

not that anyone was talking about this but dying in la is such a wildly awful song like i guess it sounds... fine enough but its so BORING it sounds like stock music like even worse than the other songs on pray for the wicked it sounds like you asked an ai to make an emotional ballad to play in the background of some pivotal manufactured touching moment in some shity movie made by universal studios that they spend millions to make and then absolutely bombs at the box office the tune is so BORING the song does nothing EXCITING the lyricism is SO uninspired its all such fluff idk why im complaining its late panic and the song came out six years ago but im weirdly fired up about this WHY would you even make a song like this i know the answer is money because who gives a shit about art anymore but fucking GOD like what!!! is the point!!!! of this song!!!!!!!! where is it getting you what is it trying to say do you think you have put a piece of yourself in this song or are you just singing it to hear yourself HOW did this POSSIBLY take four people to write

god fuck call me naive but art should feel like theres soul in it!!!!

[dykepvppy]

You keep asking for blurbs or something so.... here's some from like everything I can think of! (Also idk the survivors need in tcm but like am in love with them? And sissy.) But I'm obsessed with Yellowjackets and love Sam Carpenter!

1. SISSY - Ok what would happen if I tried to fight her? Joking! I need this woman to call me Suger. Like her lines in game 🛐 I'd run towards her (I wouldn't make it off the chain 💀) just her calling you Suger as you like run from her and stuff...

2. SAM, Ghostface Sam? - Her girlfriend has to help her with a "random" wound on her stomach, and just checking her out like "I know what you are." Your ghostface, and I'm ngl that's hot as hell come over here so we can debate who's next

3. NATALIE - I NEED to smoke with her on the roof of her shity trailer and watch the stars as we either sit in silence knowing damn well both of them are in love with the other

4. LOTTIE - idk if you write for her, but, Shrooms Lottie has my heart. Like yes girl go crazy and hunt this man! Yeah! Girl things! Now could you hunt me? Like that seemed scary as hell but I need to know if I could get away. (I couldn't) And then instead of cannibalism it's like a weird cult wedding/bonding.

If you see a pattern here no you don't 🏃

I enjoy your writing btw! Need more wlw writers (especially for sissy.)

This is random and rushed as I know how annoying boredom is 🏃💨

MARKS - SISSY SLAUGHTER

( and yes I do the girl survivors 😫 need Ana to top me idk but y’all think sissy a Lana stan idk )

Tw: blood, bitting,marks, dirty talk, fingering , possessiveness (?)

'please open'' you picked at the door with a lockpick, stuck in the basement of the slaughter family, wishing you didn't come here. fighting for your life with the damn door.. ''come on come on'' breathing heavily, upon trying to pick at the door you heard soft singing and humming.   ''my love your love our love'''. the feminine voice hummed.. ''fuck fuck'' you groaned as you kept picking at the door. as soon you got the door unlocked you felt a hand pull you back and it was sissy one of the family members.

''look what we have here sugar'' the blonde giggled

 as she crouched down to your level , her razor cutting you a little causing blood to drip out, groaning from the pain. sissy smiled getting close to you licked the blood off your neck sucking it.. you tried to hold back a moan. ''mm you taste so good'' the slaughter member spoke.. you froze in horror you couldnt move. she left marks on your neck..  her slender finger grabbed your chin and made you look at her .

''imma keep you sugar'' her fingers traveled down to your shorts she licked her lips she slowly got close to you again and bit your neck softly her hands roaming around your body, you tried not to moan.. ''mm sugar let it out'' her hand unbuttoning your shorts she quickly pulled them down and saw a wet damn in your underwear.. ''oh sugar are you this wet''  her blade slowly cut your underwear showing your throbbing clit. this caused sissy to tease you. her fingers was almost inside you.. 

''mm sugar your this wet'' she jokingly teased you, you moaned out and grabbed her other arm for support, ''please'' begging for the girl to finger fuck you.  ''mm you want it sugar'' before you could say anything she added her two fingers in you pumping in and out of your tight cunt.. ''mm sugar your so tight have you been saving it for me'' speaking to you going fast into you. you loved how her fingers felt you wanted to deny it but you couldnt.. you were close to cumming on her fingers the blonde pulled away fast , licking the juices.         ''sugar you taste so good'' whimpering from her comment.. she opened your legs and licked your puffed clit. whining out in pleasure her nails digging into you as she ate you out.      she was ravaging you like someone tried to take you..        

''oh fuck'' your legs wrapped around her head making the girl go deep.. ''mm'' sissy muffled in your clit causing vibrations.    you slowly grind on her face.. you felt a knot in your stomach bubble up.

"FUCK...fuckkkkk.. im gonna cum'' moaning loudly as you let go, the family member lapped up every drop as she pulled away , you breathed heavily..       ''sugar i might keep you'' she spoke.. but you were to tired to stand up or hear her your legs was shaking and sore, sissy giggled.

''your mine sugar say that yer' mine''     

everythinge was a blur but you were so drunk on her sluring your words ''immm yours''. the blond gave a grin and rubbed your cheek ''good now get some rest''

she put you back in the room hoping you dont leave her.

[wavesoutbeingtossed]

When you take into account the conceit of Midnights being things that have kept her up at night, Vigilante Shitis so fucking funny, because who among us has not seethed and festered over someone who’s done us wrong and concocted elaborate revenge scenarios in our minds to vent our anger??

It’s such a hilarious and ingenious way of illustrating the anger she felt towards 🛴 by crafting it as this Cell Block Tango-esque takedown full of espionage, spilled secrets and comeuppance. Do I think Taylor actually dreamed up a scenario in which she had him tailed and submitted proof of his cheating to his wife and spilled his secrets to the FBI? Probably not although you never know with her lol. But the story is SO rich when you think about it, and all the scenarios she sings about detail different parts of her anger and the things she wish she could have done in the real world.

You did some bad things, but I'm the worst of them Sometimes I wonder which one will be your last lie They say looks can kill and I might try -> Telling on him for the lies he spread about her (not just about the masters, but his likely involvement in the kimye shit)

I don't start it but I can tell you how it ends Don't get sad, get even So on the weekends I don't dress for friends Lately I've been dressing for revenge -> she didn’t start this war (eg snakegate, the fight over the masters) but she’s got the last word with her “name” being cleared years later and her rerecordings’ unprecedented success. Instead of wallowing in her grief over losing her work and her name at one point, she recalibrated and forged a path through the pain and worked night and day to reclaim her life.

Ladies always rise above Ladies know what people want Someone sweet and kind and fun The lady simply had enough -> she was sick of living up to everyone else’s standards for her and she upended her entire world to survive this mess. She was mad as hell and she wasn’t going to take it anymore.

It’s contrasted so chillingly with the imaginary (?) revenge fantasy, about selling him out to his ex wife and the FBI and the world for his white collar crimes (and drug use lol). Unfortunately it seems like that part didn’t come to pass irl lol, but the imagery of her telling on him to his wife and the cops and the world as payback for what he did to her is a stand-in for what really happened: his deceit was exposed, she was proven right re: the phone call and vindicated for her claims years before, he lost part of his power and status and reputation (and money with the resale of the masters), which probably cost him his marriage, while her career skyrocketed into the stratosphere even more furiously than had she not lost her masters he bought from right under her.

The song is saucy and campy and fun, but it does a really good job of crafting an allegory for the rage she felt about the situation and the payback she so desperately yearned for in the aftermath. And that is definitely something that would cause many a sleepless night indeed.

[waifu-13]

I’m not sure if take request or not but I had request idea but if u aren’t taking request it’s ok aslo are famailar with charcter Uta from one piece just wondering?

an- this lovely follower here is a creative genius so my part here is just putting everything together. I give credit where credit is due.

tw bullying.

your Face to face with the red-winged man in the void of self-destruction you made to get back him and the hero commission.. but no good fight starts at the main point let's go back a few lyrics shall we?

You stare at the white walls every day in this god-forsaken place. The lie of it being a "wonderful" training place for future heroes is bullshit. 24/7 vocal rest unless you're in training so you can't "run out of sound" whatever that means. white walls white clothes and constantly being compared to others. Ever since you got your quirk, you can't even sing or feel anything with someone slapping a muzzle-like contraption on you. at this point, you've mostly given up the only thing... well, the person that had made this bearable is the bird guy named Hawks. the adult at the hero commission swoons over him. As kids, it never got to his head but as you've gotten older it got to his head.. cocky man.. getting all this praise and you sit here looking like a lost puppy most of the time.

As time went on your hatred towards your past friend and this shity place that claimed to make the "best heroes" only grew. Your dreams of being number one have died out only to be left with the goal of bringing this place down as soon as possible. Wishing to of never learned how corrupt your own dream can be. Papers on top of paperwork on you from every single experiment you've been through are stacked in the corner of your "room" which can be better described as a jail cell.

"We can't do anything with them without risking damage"

"dump them. we have the bird to use from this round of test subjects anyways" a harsh tone you hear from outside the door. We're they talking about you? Are you finally gonna get revenge-

Which brings us to now your quirk in question? Euphonious Voice. it allows you to make a virtual space for yourself or others making you the main puppetry with your own voice. downside? once your energy is out the world collapses. You still don't remember what happened on the day you were let free. Can't remember how you got a new life all you knew from the moment you woke up you had to work, so you did. training every day. practicing vocal scales. Growing strong to become a force that can't be stopped running on pure revenge. Using his stupid face and red wings as motivation for this very moment.

Face to face, limb to limb with your old friend turned enemy. You can't understand how someone who claims to stand up for peace can sit back and not speak out about the tortures of your childhoods. As darkness floods around you incasing all signs of light to form your own personal revenge world.

"yn, CUT IT OUT YOU'LL HURT EVERYONE" hawks calls out distressed trying to break your rhythm of rage

"over my dead body birdboy" your words like Venum spitting out nothing will stop you now.

You and him the only signs of any form of hero or human life in the world you've made, as tension builds in the fight he gets closer then just as hawks is about to lay what he thinks is a finally blow the end to this madness...

BOOM,LIGHTS OUT

A large flash grows across The black relm as it grows to a different shade of black almost void like. All life seems...gone as the sounds of your songs flatten almost lost in the void of what can only be described as self-destruction but did it really end that way?

Wait..no..my..my story can't end like this..can it? Everything I worked for..just over?! All the pain? That fight? Just gone? C'mon give more to the story! give more to MY story!

The end... Or is it

FABLE MEADOWS : playlist commentary . 

01. THUS ALWAYS TO TYRANTS , the oh hellos.  do not weep, do not wail, I am coming home to you

this song’s title is about how bad people always get what’s coming to them. I think it encompasses some of the hope that she has that goodness and rightness will always prevail. the song is upbeat, and reminds me of twirling in front of a bonfire with your closest family. there’s just such a sense of optimism and hope that the song radiates that I thing resonates deeply with her character. 

02. NEW SKIN , vérité.  new heart, new limbs to bury myself in

I really like this song for fable because it feels like it really vibes with this body metamorphosis she goes through. a lot of fable’s themes have to do with rebirth, identity and loss, and there’s a longing note to the song that I think she can relate to. 

03. HELLO MY OLD HEART , the oh hellos. are you still there inside my chest?

I think the song kind of speaks for itself, but it’s basically just a representation of that closed off-ness that fable feels after being reborn. her heart is still in there, but is it still beating? does it still feel? and is it worse if it doesn’t? 

04. PEOPLE HELP THE PEOPLE , birdy.  and if you're homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it

I like birdy’s version of this song because it’s a lot more fragile and delicate. fable, deep down, longs to connect and to feel. even her name isn’t really hers, so much as it is a collection of other people’s stories. and whether she knows it or not, she needs to be a part of someone else’s again.  

05. HUMAN , daughter. and despite everything I'm still human

the acceptance that she is not a machine. she is not a set of armor and a shield. she is a person with feelings and a soul. and she should never forget that again. meadow is waking up and fable can’t pretend she isn’t there, inside her. 

06. I CAN’T BREATHE , bea miller.  how can I be alright? 

her autonomy, having been taken from her, sometimes makes her feel like a visitor in her own body. not only that, but her emotions regarding her trauma are locked away. this song is every time she’s been forced to reckon with the indignity of what was done to her. 

07. FREE, florence + the machine.  to exist in the face of suffering and death and somehow still keep singing

I love this song so much as one of the more hopeful and optimistic songs on fable’s playlists. the idea that even though there’s so much shitiness and pain out there, that there are brief moments of respite. and the realization that sacrifice isn’t gloried. that living is better, braver, more. 

08. NOT THE GHOST, the crane wives. I won't be afraid of all the things I've wanted, it’s the fear and not the ghost that leaves me haunted

I have three different crane wives songs on her playlist, but I chose this one as it really encompasses fable’s need to move on and leave her fear and guilt behind. it’s a song about haunting yourself, even when there is no need to. it’s a song about being afraid of moving on, but needing to do it anyway, because it’s time. 

09. NINE, sleeping at last. I’m just trying to find myself through someone else’s eyes 

though fable is a two type enneagram, the song for two is much more fitting for her in a shippy scenario. nine feels fitting more lyrically to who she is after becoming reborn. I read it as a song about not knowing who you are without being in the company in other people. it speaks to fable’s loss of identity quite clearly. 

[thegreenbisamurai]

This bizarre capitalistic brainrotten take is my canary in a coal mine, the fact that it is still singing shows me y'all are still here falling for the pink washing while still nominally criticizing it as a concepet

News flash everyone, we aren't safe! The big box stores aren't keeping us safe with their shity slave labour queer flags and topical shirts, their acceptance beings us nothing, you just learned to take confort from something meaningless and are scared in its absence

And the damned fucking activists who fought for their rights in the vague past that shall not be named? They also weren't fighting for the right to buy at target, they wanted safety, the freedom to exist, target doesn't sell that stuff, and yet you're here blaming the advance of fascism over the ever unstable bourgeois "democracy" on people COMPLAINING ABOUT PRIDE MERCH???

very funny (irritating) to me that everyone whined and yelled about stupid rainbow capitalism and how performative wokeness/allyship is a net bad we should all refuse to support and now like.

tumblr is doing nothing for pride and target isn't selling much (if any) of their pride collection offline except at certain stores (in democratic areas, basically) and build a bear has a much tinier collection than normal and all the actual pride stuff is on their "adult" website (not sure if it's in stores, but pride = adult is a hell of a message)

there are genuinely good criticisms for performative allyship in all its applications. it shouldn't be the only thing we expect from people and companies. but if all the shit I see being called performative stopped tomorrow then in terms of the LGBTQ+ community especially we just. wouldn't talk about queerness or queer issues or celebrate pride or do anything.

open your fucking eyes. we are very close politically to having gay marriage rolled back. now companies are basically being let off the hook to even make a miniscule effort (which matters to the people who don't have access to any other kind of support in their communities! which normalizes the community in public spaces!) because the only reaction they have gotten over the last few years are negative ones from BOTH sides.

we are so entrenched in discourse at all times for the sake of our OWN performance of who is the wokest and who is REALLY an ally or a good community member that we have basically handed over all the work of activists of the last several decades to the other side because we'd rather scream at each other over fucking chicken restaurants and shit than the real life backsliding that's happening.

and this goes for other shit too. feminism, poc rights, all of it.

also. trans rights aren't discourse and aren't just culture war arguments. in case any terfs think they can spin this to be antitrans.

Crossing Musical Frontiers: Sugar Scars' Journey Hey, do you know Sugar Scars?They are this cool group of musicians from the Juarez-El Paso border region. Their music, for that matter, is so entirely different from one another - it is as if they have combined all the cultural trends from both cultures and created something different! These guys are all about providing those special moments on the dance floors you might be looking for, right?Just when people are all dancing about and grooving to the beat. Their songs touched me too, they sing about love and all those things that people get emotional about. They recently released a new single titled “Miss U” in the last week of June. It is a track which will be included in the album ‘Rhythmic Body Reflexes. ’ That song is just impressive; it has raw beat, distorted synth strings, and eerie vocals. Another lovely aspect of Sugar Scars is how they mix various styles. The thing is that it is not only in one genre ,it is like they have their own thing going on. For our next interview let us get a chance for you to be familiar with Sugar Scars as we engage them in a discussion on inspirations, creative work and the process that led to their unique music taste. Listen to Miss U https://open.spotify.com/track/1Tkjo7G9x1nKL89m36aZGi?si=3b664126427c4fd3 Follow Sugar Scars on Soundcloud Youtube Spotify Instagram What is your stage name? We go by Sugar Scars Is there a story behind your stage name? Mmm.. Well to us, there’s always been this beauty between pain followed by cathartic realization. Kind of like a relief or epiphany that brings some happiness to your heart. So sugar is something sweet that comes from a scar which is bodily evidence of pain hence the name, Sugar Scars Where do you find inspiration? Wow, from the most random places .. all I know is that when we feel inspired,we quickly take advantage and hit the studio. It’s kind of like inspiration finds us rather than the other way around What was the role of music in the early years of your life? It’s weird because no one in our families were musicians, So it didn’t really play a role in our preteen years, but everything changed in the teens ..I guess cause that age is when you think you know everything and you are conflicted about who you are as a person and that is where art comes in because it’s a reaction in expressing your reality. Are you from a musical or artistic family? Not me.. I think Luis is. Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry? I think shity lives and feeling hopeless inspired us… lol.. but as far as the word industry goes.. that’s a word we don’t like. When I think of industry, I think of child labor, slave labor, environmental destruction. We just see it as a necessary evil. How did you learn to sing/write/to play? By having inspiration and desire. That gave me the motivation to teach and push myself to learn chords and to progress. After that you must be brave and show what you have.. without caring how other people see it. What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform? My family and I went to this waterpark during Memorial Day. They had live bands there. I saw a local cover band, followed by Steppenwolf. How could you describe your music? Damn, that’s hard to answer. It’s basically a mix of any sound we like in any genre by any artist. From there,we make the song our own. Because at the end,what is music?? It’s just 12 notes that you use differently to produce the sound that makes you happy [caption id="attachment_56155" align="alignnone" width="532"] It’s basically a mix of any sound we like in any genre by any artist.[/caption] Describe your creative process. Well we show each other parts that we wrote wile being inspired. Then we add to to it till it’s done. We each add our own flavor then we both have to agree on what we wrote for it to be recorded. What is your main inspiration? Anything that will make us get off our ass and find an instrument to create.

It could be a sound or phrase. Sometimes I just play my guitar to distract me from my restless mind and something comes out that is inspiring. It just kinda happens. The point is, that there is not only one thing that can inspire. It’s actually all over the place. What musician do you admire most and why? Wow.. mmm.. probably the founding fathers like Little Richard, Robert Johnson, Chuck Berry. They basically created something that changed everything. I credit them with discovering Rock n Roll . They had an idea that revolutionized the world. Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career? Absolutely. if you ain’t growing, then you’re shrinking. Who do you see as your main competitor? Wow, let me see it could be ourselves not reaching our own potential.. depression not allowing us to be inspired… other musicians trying to make a competition out of art. There is a lot of competing entities What are your interests outside of music? Breathing and eating. Just kidding. Mmm Drawing, buying records,reading … Having OCD and organizing my clothes by color and alphabetizing my medication lol If it wasn't a music career, what would you be doing? Damn we’d be dead , Addicted to drugs and homeless.. I don’t know really.. that’s a big plot twist. I guess every human being could have a surprising explanation. It wouldn’t be reality unless it really happened so that’s a tough one. Who knows how we would react to certain realistic pressures. What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music? Being very hard on yourself for not producing the right musical idea.. the apathy of some people, Close-mindedness.. being sabotaged by other artists .. having secret haters.. It’s a long list. If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be? Do not allow businessman to run the industry, but instead unbiased artists. It just seems like everything that corporations and stock owners put their hands on becomes corrupted and motivated by only profit. Why did you choose this as the title of this project? I guess the title , “ Rhythmic Body Reflexes”refers to just dancing ( moving) naturally as a-response to music. That’s like the most natural reaction of expression to something that moves you. It’s kinda magical. https://open.spotify.com/artist/3WCaN9QEGnSeC67w0n1LCQ?si=iexUhGpcTgOfulGMNY_W0g What are your plans for the coming months? Playing more shows and continue writing for our next project Do you have any artistic collaboration plans This whole project is based on artistic collaboration. It’s very difficult to find someone that understands music the way you do and that complements you artistically. So we’re keeping it just between us. What message would you like to give to your fans The one that Poet wrestler John Cena gave.. “ Hustle Loyalty and Respect”

I'm finally getting more ideas for Vapor and Bog. So I’m thinking every now and then the Lemen family will spend some time downtown, either to spend time with friends or for Ember to do some business talk with an employee. Either way, they all eat together, go off to do their own thing for a while, and then meet back up at a certain time. The restaurant where they go to just so happens to have Bog as their waiter. XD He had to start up a part-time job since his mom and dad kept losing all their money from their scams. Obviously, Bog is delighted to see him, while Vapor pretends not to notice him. Hiding his face behind the menu.

Wade and Ember embarrass him further by going "Oh, your Bog? Our boy Vapor talks about you all the tim-" "There not all good things! …just so you know"

After the meal, since Bog’s shift is over he decides to tag along with Vaps, and he ain’t taking no for an answer.

They end up having a good time, checking out a record store, a game shop and Bog snuck a bunch of pics of them together. When it’s almost time to go, they take a breather and sit at the edge of a fountain. Bog looks through the pictures on his phone and picks his favorite and sends it to Vapor.

Bog ends up revealing that today is his birthday in conversation. Vapor: You work on your birthday? Bog: I do if I wanna eat~ Vapor looks at him a bit disturbed. Bog: It’s not a big deal really, I never celebrated my birthday anyway, so. That just made Vapor look even more concerned. Vapor: Never? Why? Bog: shrugs Just… never been a thing in my house. Never really bothered telling any of the guys about it, no doubt they’d go over the top with the party and the gifts hehe. At this point Vapor is realizing something might not be right with his home life. And how lucky he is to have parents that celebrate the day he was born.

Bog: But so far today has been a pretty great birthday, I actually got to spend some time with you, and you didn’t even try to ditch me this time! Hahaha! Vapor is feeling like like a pretty shity person at this point, so he asks him; Vapor: Do you have your notepad? Bog: Hm? Yeah always do. Why? Vapor: I’ll do it Bog: Uhh Vapor: I’ll… I’ll sing your song. Bog is stunned silent for a moment and Vapor is hoping he doesn't notice how red his face is. Bog: Dude, you don’t have to just cause it’s my birthday. I mean don’t get me wrong, it would be super cool if you did, but I kinda want you to sing them when you actually want to and not when you feel pressured. Vapor is getting a little impatient. Vapor: Well I do want to and this might be the only time I will want to, so are you gonna let me sing them or what?! Bog doesn't object and gives him the lyrics. Vapor was about to sing, but once he sees Bog face completely focused on him he gets tongue-tied.

I thought about how exactly they ended up alone when the family went out together. Hazel just tells them vapor is going to walk him home so they just leave lol. Hazel texts him "go for it bro ;)"

Vapor texts her back

You pull up to The Stanley's farm, you’d know the Stanley’s for a long time. Everyone in this town knew everyone, that’s how it always been. Which is why, when Natasha sent you texts saying to come find her in a corn maze. You knew this was where she was talking about and despite the fact that it was technically closed right now, you knew the Stanley’s wouldn’t mind. You hopped out of the warmth of your car and into the autumn night. You loved the countryside, but you hated the fact that there were no lights. You only had the stars and the moon to guide you as you stumbled across the rocky path towards the corn maze.

It wasn’t far, you could see the sign, but you could also see a foreboding wooden cross standing outside the corn maze that you’d never seen before. You stopped in front of the wooden cross, running your fingers across the red paint chipping off the splintering wood. There’s nails with shreds of fabric still tangled around the posts; there was something hung up here at some point, a scarecrow more likely than not “The shity neighbourhood kids probably ripped it off” you huff “Always ruining everything, they threw paint in the plaza fountain only last week.” You drag your hand to the apex of the cross, it’s warm. Peculiar. You brush it off, despite your uncertainty, and look back at the text Natasha sent you.

I’m in the corn maze

Bet you can’t find me, scaredy-cat 👻🐈‍⬛

She had some nerve calling you a scaredy-cat, who in their right mind wouldn’t be scared to go alone into a bloody corn maze at midnight. It was pitch black, aside from the piercing light of the moon that parted the slate clouds that drifted across the inky, velvet blanket of the sky.

You stand infront of the en tree dance of the corn maze. It’s marked by an ornate metal sign, with chipping discoloured paint ‘Stanley’s Corn Maze’ it said in a faded orange paint. It felt like the beginning of a horror movie. Two friends enter a corn maze at night, now you just need a killer.

“Natashaaaaa” you sing “where are youuuuuu?” You’d been walking for what felt like forever, your phone was only on 4%. Nerves were starting to prickle in your belly “Come on I can’t find you! I give up okay so let’s go! I wanna watch a scary movie. Oooo maybe we can watch ‘Stay out of the Basement’ that’s meant to be good.” You hear the rustling of the dying corn leaves being pushed aside behind you, but still no reply from Natasha “Nat, if you’re trying to scare me it ain’t gonna work. I can hear you.” You spin around on your heel. It was not Natasha.

It was a man, he looked to be well over six foot tall. From where you were standing he was an Adonis; a halo of blonde hair and bulging muscle. He stepped closer, you remained still.

In the moon's pale light you could see the dirty blonde hair, tousled and scruffy with loose bits of hay and dirt tangled in his locks. He had a thick beard and moustache, but the glow from the moon still allowed you to see his prominent cheekbones. His firm chest strained against the thin fabric of his red, plaid shirt. You could see the contour of his torso and arms, he was covered in muscle and towering over you. As he stepped closer, further into the moonlight, you could see his face clearer; there were two messy stitches on either side of his mouth, clotted blood surrounding the punctures and strands of hay protruding from his skin. As he neared closer. You stumbled backwards. Fresh blood coated his thick, veiny arms all the way up to his sleeves rolled at his elbows, the cloth of his sleeves stained and dripping “Where are you going little bird? I want you to sing for me.” The stitched corners of his lips stretched into a smile as he lunged forward at you, his heavy body's ungraceful movements allowed you to dart past him into the thicket of corn. Your hands guarded your face defensively as you dashed through the corn, the brown, aged husks and leaves whipping at your exposed skin “Birdie! I’m gonna find you!” His bellowing voice pierced through the deafening sound of your blood rushing in your head.

You paused as your foot treads on something squishy, yet firm, you turn your gaze to the floor. Natasha. She’s beaten and bloody, clothes torn and her head appears to almost be severed from her shoulders “Nat…” you whimper, her eyes are still open. You hear the jostling of corn. You have no time to close them as you take off again, the bleak night air drowning you as you gulp it down like a fish. The burning tears dripping from your eyes burn your icy skin, you turn your head back to try to see him. He’s not there. You practically jump out of your skin as you hear a loud crack of thunder rumble around you, then cold drops of rain begin to fall. The drops that sprinkle across your skin send goosebumps across your skin, your hairs prickling to a point as you shiver.

You need to keep running, despite your exhaustion you find it within you to keep going. You can hear the corn rattling around you from every direction, you were so disorientated. As you jogged through the maze you reached down to your pocket to search for your dying phone, that’s when all hope drained from you. You’d dropped your fucking phone. The rain began to pick up, turning from a light dusting to harsh, thick droplets that fell with such speed that it hurt your skin. You came to a halt in a patch of newly formed mud, what were you meant to do? You felt doomed, you could no longer restrain the sobs that left you, lip wobbling as you choked on your sorrows.

One second you're standing, the next you’re tackled to the ground. Your shoulder collides with the sludgy earth and air catches in your lungs as you let out a choked yelp. You smash your hands into the Scarecrow's strong chest as you writhe against his fierce grip, he only needs one of his hands to overpower you and pin your hands above your head. You’re forced to look at him atop of you. His hair is glued to his forehead with sweat and the moonlight causes the thin sheen covering his skin to glitter like tiny diamonds. He bends closer to you, hot puffs of air from his heavy breathing suffocating you. He presses his face into the crook of your neck; the bristly hairs of his beard scratching against your neck as he licks at your neck, he shoved his nose into your hair and takes a long deep breathe in “Smell so good birdie, better than other woman. Ari’s gonna give you pleasure now.” You thrash against him kicking at him, he ignores it and bends one of your legs over his shoulder, “Lie still, Song bird, gonna make you feel so nice.” He grunts as you kick at his face, catches your ankle in his free hand and squeezes. His grip strength is inhuman. You shriek as you feel your bones creaking against the pressure he applies, your bones threaten to snap.

“Stop! Stop! I won’t kick you please!” You scream, the agony sending shocks across your nerves and to your brain, a dull ache lingering in your skull. He lets go of your ankle and lands a powerful punch to your gut, grit your teeth and grunt “Oof!” acidic sickness rising in your throat, you swallow it.

“Other girl wouldn’t stop screaming. Squeezed her too hard. Always squeeze too hard, it was an accident. Not gonna squeeze as hard with you, Birdie, like you, like your voice, like your scent. Want you alive.” His large hand tears your shorts and panties with one pull, the display petrified you but it also made your pussy drip. He ran two fingers through your fold, collecting some of your slick and bringing it to his mouth. He sucked his fingers clean of your cream, releasing his fingers with a loud pop “Taste so good. Need to fuck you.” Ari grumbled, undoing his jeans, releasing his member that slapped against his clothed stomach. It was long and ribbed with a thick purple vein running up the shaft and patch of pale blonde hair dusted his pelvis.

You moved your hips away from him. He hooks his calloused hand under your knee quickly and pulls you closer “No riggling, Birdie. Don’t wanna hurt you.” The fear freezes you in place and he takes the chance to thrust all the way inside you, smashing into your cervix causing you scream out and thrash as his dick crams uncomfortable inside you, he’s too big. You can feel the rubbed texture of his cock as your walls clamp harshly in an attempt to push him out. He pistons his hips without a care, unbothered by your body's feeble attempt at rejection. Your shrieks appear to fall upon death ears until he lifts you slightly by your wrists and then slams you back into the ground. Your brain rattles in your skull as your head hits the floor; a pounding pain throbs across the back of your head, and you look at him with a bewildered expression.

“No, Birdie, you’re meant to sing nicely. No screaming, or I’ll squeeze.” His scratchy knuckles brushes away the tears flowing down your cheeks. You nod and whimper, fighting the pain and letting out soft ‘oh’s and ‘ah’s as he continued his brutal pace, bending closer to you pushing your legs into you, angling your hips so he could thrust even deeper. Spearing you all the way to the hilt of his girthy length, you let out a guttural cry as he grunted and groaned in response to his own wild thrusts. Heat spread across your back as his pelvis rubbed against your clit “Tight.” He growled, pressing a kiss to your temple, he smelt strongly of hay and dirt, but underneath that strong scent of petrichor was a uniquely manly musk. Your pleasure was interrupted as his hand released your wrists, he slammed his fist into the ground, snarling as he thrusted. The hand holding your knee squeezed extremely tightly, you could feel bruises forming under his touch.

“Ow! Ari! Squeezing too tight!” You yowled, he was going to snap your knee. You dug your nails into the back of his neck, his pace slowed; his hips stuttering as he came to a stop entirely.

“Sorry, SongBird. Won’t squeeze anymore.” For a man…Scarecrow who was raping you he was being surprisingly considerate. He rubbed the pad of his thumb against your reddened cheeks soothingly before pulling out all the way to his tip before ramming back into you, hard enough for your body to slide around in the mud below you. Your lungs burn and your throat is raw. You bite back a scream when his bulbous tip collided with your cervix once again “Close. So close. Sing! Sing for me Birdie!” You whimper and let out an involuntary moan as his cock rubs the sweet spot within you. His barred teeth soften into a smile at your moans, his free hand comes to neck and he begins to squeeze. You remember Natasha, the way her head laid in a pool of blood. How you could barely see any remnants of her neck. You began to thrash once again, Ari ignored you, lost in his own pleasure. You could feel his cock twitching inside, in your mind you pleaded for him to come. For it to be over. His thrusts quickened even more, his hips bashing painfully into your ass. The sound of his balls slapping against your skin overpowering the crackle of thunder. He threw his head back and let out a full bodied groan, which resembled a roar as he came inside you. The ropes of his come were cold, just like his whole body-ice cold, the amount of his spend was unrelenting. He released your neck, you let out a series of cough thanking God for answering you as took deep breaths of air. You’d never been so grateful to be able to breathe.

Ari still hadn’t pulled out, he was still hard. Your pussy was rubbed raw from his pubic hair, and your clit ached painful from the force of his pelvis colliding with it. Then his thrusts continued. He wanted to go again. You clawed at him and he pinned you again “Bad Birdie, not done yet.” He murmured. You stared up at the moon as it mocked you, moving so freely through the sky. You curse the moon for letting him come alive. Your thoughts begin to fade as you just gaze up at the moving clouds heavy with more rain.

Resistance was futile. So you just laid there taking it. You close your eyes, your head was heavy from the adrenaline crash. You hoped sleep would take you, and it did.

The orange, pink tinge of sunset colours your vision as you open your eyes. Your ears are ringing, a piercing static reverberating in your skull. Your eyes sting and your throat is strained and scratchy. You push your hands beside you, they sink into the mud slightly as you sit up. A dull pain radiates throughout the apex of your thighs and legs, the bruises that litter them clear in the garish glow of the orange morning sun. You look around you, there’s hay scattered across the ground and beside you is the Scarecrow, face down in the mud your phone beneath his freakishly human hands. The baritone sound of his voice echoes in your mind as you pull your phone out and turn it on. 1% battery…Better call the right person.

Hi! I love your Loki series and one shots💚💚

Can I request a Loki x villain!Reader. Like, she do some shity things and the avenger defeat her, but her powers are kinda a mystery so them decided to secured her in the compound for study her powers (like something to do with darkness or fire). Loki started to "visite" her. She's mean, egocentric, and gets under his skin. But at the same time he is amazed of her.

Just Breathe - Chapter 1

Just Breathe Masterlist Complete Masterlist

A/N: Sorry, Nonny, I got carried away and made this into a series. I'm sorry I made you wait too long. I know you requested this a while ago. So, thank you for being so patient with me. I hope you like it. Edit: Thanks to Inkywinds on AO3 for the German translations. Pairing: Loki x Female Villain Reader Word Count: under 3k Warnings: Angst, history of trauma, some cursing, mild violence, more of my bad translations Dividers by: @firefly-graphics

Loki watched through the monitors as they brought you in. They secured your arms in weighted metal cuffs that went straight up to your elbows, constricting your wrists as well as your hands. You walked in with no less than ten SHIELD agents accompanying you. You looked like a maiden sacrifice being led to her fate.

“Who is that delectable creature?” Loki asked with a growing smirk.

“She calls herself Zephyr,” Thor answered watching Loki to the side of his eyes. “She’s been setting fire to hidden SHIELD facilities up and down the eastern seaboard. Killed 20 people, and injured 50. She’s targeting your record.” Thor laid his hand on Loki’s shoulder. “She threatened to blow up the whole site, but we can’t find any explosives. Leave it to you to be attracted to the outlaws,” Thor whispered with a chuckle. Loki just raised an eyebrow at him and dusted his shoulder off where Thor had patted him.

“We need to know how her powers work. Before she does it again,” Rogers added. “FRIDAY is running a background check on her as we speak to give us any clues. Wanda is still on her honeymoon with Vis. I don’t want to contact her unless absolutely necessary. Do you think you can get into her head? See her memories?” He asked Loki.

“I can try,” Loki answered, trying to hide his elation.

They led you to a cylindrical cell in the lower levels of the building. It was made out of indestructible glass and light. You couldn’t escape the watchful eyes of the cameras or the glaring reflection of yourself.

You had formed dark circles under your eyes. Your hair was knotted and singed at the ends. You looked like you hadn’t eaten in days. They took the manacles off of you, leaving welts below your elbows.

If only they knew. It wouldn’t have mattered if they bound your whole body. You’d still be able to set fire with or without your hands.

The first time you used your powers, was when you were eight. You set fire to your shared bedroom and nearly killed your baby brother. You didn’t need your hands then. You just simply stopped breathing.

Your parents, being the doctrinal extremists they were, had decided that eight years of loving a child was not enough to protect said child. So they had abandoned you to a research facility in upstate New York. Fear and loathing in their eyes. They had solemnly believed that they were looking into the eyes of the devil herself when they looked at you.

So, you became one.

A figure stepped into your reflection, interrupting your thoughts down memory lane. You instantly knew who he was. His long face and high cheekbones were more prominent in person. His long dark curls were secured in a half-ponytail. The sleeves on his dress shirt were rolled halfway up, exposing the veins in his arms. He carried a small plate with a sandwich and a bottle of water.

“It’s peanut butter and jelly.” He said to you, holding the plate up to the glass for you to inspect it. “I was told, it’s a favorite amongst you mortals here in this region.”

“I’m not hungry.” You snapped at him.

“Oh no darling, this is for me.” He chuckled. “I hadn’t eaten lunch yet. I was about to until you had to pick this time to come in with your retinue.” He grabbed the nearest chair and sat down on it, backwards. His legs spread apart as he straddled the chair facing you.

He took a bite of his sandwich, eyeing you. You paced back and forth in your cell. Your eyes darted between the man and the sandwich he devoured. You really hadn’t eaten in days. You couldn’t help the growling complaint of your stomach as you watched him demolish it bite after bite.

When he finished, he licked the jam off his fingers and proceeded to drink half of the water bottle. You could see his Adam’s apple bob with every chug of water he swallowed. You crossed your arms and narrowed your eyes at him.

“Oh, I’m sorry. How rude of me…” He said to you, acknowledging your hungry stare.

“Finally! What’s a girl gotta do to get a meal around here?”

“…I didn’t introduce myself. I am Loki, Prince of Asgard. The rightful heir of Jotunheim. Odins…”

“OH MY GOD! Do you come with an off button? I know who you are!” you growled, matching the energy of your empty stomach.

“So feisty! You know my name, but I don’t know yours.” Loki beamed.

“Does it matter?” you rolled your eyes.

“Yes. I’d like to know the name of the person whose head I’ll be rummaging through.” He said.

A new sense of panic trickled through you, but you refuse to show him the effect he had on you. He stood up from his chair. His long legs unmount the seat. He stopped right in front of your cell, his hands in his pockets, staring you down.

His gaze felt intrusive and speculating. You could see his smile, so sweetly towards you, and a glint in his eyes. How is that possible? That shit only happens in books, right? You walked up to him slowly, pressing yourself up against the glass. Your wrists cross over, above your head.

“Why don’t you come in here then? I’ll let you rummage all you want.” You tried to say in the most seductive way you could.

“Oh, I won’t do it right now, darling. You’re too guarded and wild. Plus...” Loki knocked on the glass causing you to cover your ears from the loud echo. “It’s no fun being in there. I would know.”

He started to walk away. “When you’re ready, dear. Do call for me.” He saluted and walked off. You continued to growl at him as he retreated. You slammed your fist against the hard glass trying to make a dent, knowing it wouldn’t have mattered.

You turned, leaning against the blue-tinged glass, and slid yourself down onto the floor of the cell. That’s when you noticed a small plate in the center of the chamber with a full sandwich, and a bottle of water.

Loki came to visit you that night, unbeknownst to you. You had fallen asleep on the floor of the cell. You used your jacket as a pillow, leaving you to weather the cold of the basement. He conjured a blanket over your shivering figure and he saw you instantly relax into a fit-less sleep.

 He had already seen inside your thoughts earlier that day but didn’t lead on. There was so much heartache and pain. Trifling through your memories had triggered his own childhood recollections. It also triggered some protective instinct of his that he didn’t know existed.

Maybe he just felt a kindred spirit with you. That perhaps you would understand what it was like. Because he certainly understood the suffering you were going through now. He tried one more time.

He let his invisible strings find their way inside the cell. Crawling slowly over the floor, then into your temples.

You must’ve been eight or nine. You were so small, but you had the same shade of hair, the same intelligent eyes. Loki looked around and saw that he was in a nursery, perhaps your bedroom. He could hear an argument in the background happening somewhere inside the house. You sat on your bed as your baby sibling started crying in his crib from the loud argument outside the bedroom doors.

You covered your ears. It was too loud. You rocked your tiny self, back and forth. Loki saw you take in a deep breath and shut your eyes. That’s when the first flicker of flames appeared.

It started with the bedsheets you were on. Then it traveled to the curtains. Pretty soon the whole room was engulfed. Your parents entered the room alarmed. Your mother grabbed your brother from his crib and then tried to grab you. “Y/N!” She yelled. But you were surrounded by flames. Your father came back with an extinguisher, dousing the room with white foam.

The flames had receded enough for your father to grab you from your bed and haul you out.

Loki jumped out of your head as you started to stir awake. You sat up, looking around the brightly lit room outside your cell, not seeing anyone or anything. Except for the chair that Loki was sitting in earlier. Vacant. You went back to sleep, pulling the blanket over your shoulders.

Blanket?!

You recalled the dream you had just woken up from. Loki was there in your dream, reliving the fateful night you triggered your powers. Now looking down at the conjured blanket on you, could he have been here? Could he have gone into your thoughts, unguarded? Just like he said he would? You threw the blanket across your cell and stayed up all night.

The next day, Loki came in with two sandwiches on a plate. “Let me guess, they’re both for you? You little glutton,” you asked eyeing the plate.

“No, darling. One’s for you. I wouldn’t be that heartless.” He splayed his hand and the other sandwich appeared inside your chamber with a bottle of water. “I figured we could have lunch together.”

“Usually, you take the person to lunch before you intrude on their thoughts.”

“I was not aware you knew I had done it.”

“Does it make you feel better? Does it make it any more moral? Now that you’ve fed me?”

“No. Not really. But innocent lives are getting hurt-”

“Innocent, my ass!” you chided.

“And an amazing ass it is. But pray, tell, what exactly makes them not so innocent?” Loki asked.

You raised your eyebrows at him. Then rolled your eyes. “You have got to be kidding me! That’s all you people ever see, isn’t it? The damsel in distress. Surely, we can save her. Well, listen up ‘Lucky Charms.’ I’ve been way past saving. Where were the Avengers twenty years ago when I nearly burnt my house down? Where were you guys when my own parents sold me to the nearest SHIELD facility for research? Where were my heroes, huh?” you yelled out to him, tossing the sandwich against the glass wall.

“I wasn’t here twenty years ago. But we’re here now, Y/N.”

“Don’t you ever call me that again!”

“It’s your name isn’t it?”

“It’s what those hypocritical excuse-for-a-parents called me. I refuse to answer to it!”

“Ok. Zephyr it is. Zephyr. Zep. Phyr? Zee? Can I call you Zee?” Loki said, trying your name. Trying to taste it on his lips. Feeling how it sounded with his tongue.

“No. Is my name too long and complicated for you? Loki? Prince of Ass-guard. Yada yada yada.” You deadpanned. Loki was getting agitated with all your irreverent backtalk. He almost preferred it to when you were asleep.

“I’m going to try and get into your mind again, Zee. It would be easier for you if you didn’t resist.” Loki warned.

“Or what?”

“Or else, you might see something you might not like. Memories you’ve tried to repress. I can guide you. But you’d have to follow my directions.” Loki said ever so calmly, putting his hands back inside his pockets.

“Oh, I’m not worried about what I’ll see. I know what goes on in my head.” You taunted. You walked back towards the opposite end of your cell, leaning back on the cool glass as an invitation to him.

In an instant, Loki was transported to a dark room. A brick façade lined one side of the walls. On the opposite side of the room, floor-to-ceiling windows showcased the moonlight outside. The view was six, maybe seven stories up, and overlooked the Brooklyn Bridge. Loki took note of some major street names that he could read.

A soft moan from behind him stole his attention. There was a couch and some furniture that had appeared mere seconds before. He saw you on the couch. Your back to him. A man’s hand tangled in your hair and his other hand gripped your hips tightly.

The man’s legs spread apart as he pulled you in closer to rub against him. You whimpered. And that sound sent a delicious rush down Loki’s spine arousing him.

Who were you tangled with? Loki was curious. You started grinding against them, eliciting a staggered familiar moan from the stranger. You cocked your head slightly to give Loki a better angle to watch.

Loki jumped back in shock to see himself staring back at him. The Loki under you smiled a mischievous grin as he grabbed more of your hair and angled you to get a better kiss.

Loki quickly jumped out of your head. Shaking in disbelief. He stared at you, unable to say anything. He knew that neither of you had ever met before. So this wasn’t a memory. Were you strong enough to block his advances? To make him see what you wanted him to see?

“I told you. You might not like what you see.” You gave him a knowing smirk.

“What did she show you?” Bruce asked through his headpiece.

“Are you alright, brother?” Thor added.

“Do you need one of us to go down there with you?” Rogers offered.

“No. I’ll try again.” Loki whispered.

“Try all you want. You’re not getting anything out of me. Those fuckers deserve to die!” You yelled as you hit the wall of your cell with your fist. Hot white light erupted from your hands, momentarily blinding Loki.

Loki jumped back in and landed in a field with tall dry grass. The half-moon had shown above and the only sounds he could hear were that of cicadas.

He spotted you walking through the grass and muck. You were younger, but well past your teenage years. You were wearing a tattered jumpsuit. Your hair was greasy and slick. Your eyes were a lot deeper and darker than they were now. You had a chain wrapped around your ankle attached to a heavy metal ball. You pulled on the chain, its weight slowing you down, dragging along the dirt. The cuff biting into your weak ankles.

Alarms sounded in the air as searchlights began their hunt for you. You looked up and sucked in a lungful of air, then blew at the weight around your foot. The surrounding air began to lift the heavy ball and carry it as fast as you could run.

The ball and chain followed you. There were men chasing after you now. They had the SHIELD insignia patched on their arms. One caught up with you and grabbed you by your arm, marginally missing the ball you had thrown his way.

“Come, kleiner lufthauch, we mean you no harm.” The man said to you. You sucked in your breath again, but this time you held it. All of a sudden the reeds around you caught fire, catching the pant leg of your assailant. The man was too distracted to notice that you threw the metal ball at his head. All by just exhaling your breath. The man fell. A concave dip where his face should have been.

You ran.

Loki snapped back to reality. Air, breath. That’s her power. He sent a projection of himself into the control room. Thor, Banner, and Rogers standing around a giant monitor, watching the two of you on the screen.

“Her powers come from the air around her,” Loki said behind them. Two of them stumbled forward, startled by Loki’s sudden appearance.

“For goodness sakes, Loki!” Rogers warned. Thor stood unfazed, accustomed to Loki’s surprise attacks.

Loki rolled his eyes as he continued. “It seems she can control the air around her.”

“How does the fire come into the equation?” Thor asked.

Bruce contemplated. “Fire needs three things. Fuel, heat, and-”

“Oxygen!” Rogers finished his sentence.

“She was being held against her will at a SHIELD facility. I saw her trying to escape.” Loki started again.

“Why are there no records of her?” Rogers asked. “Even with her given name, FRIDAY still can’t seem to find any trace of her.”

“The jailor I saw in my memory-walk called her ‘little breath’ or ‘little air?’ You could try looking that up.” Loki offered.

“How did he say it?” Bruce asked, typing into the keyboard.

“Kleiner lufthauch.”

“That’s German.” Steve stood straighter looking Loki in his eyes. “You don’t think she escaped an undercover HYDRA facility, do you?” Rogers said starting to put pieces together.

“Maybe the facilities she’s been targeting have been undercover HYDRA bases?” Thor questioned.

“If that’s true, how does she know which ones are true SHIELD offices, and which ones are HYDRA bases?” Banner posed. Loki left them to ponder it out. His projection leaving.

Back down below the building. Loki still sat in the chair facing you. “I have a proposition for you, darling?”

“No,” you said without hesitation.

“But you haven’t even heard it yet,” Loki said feigning hurt.

“Don’t care. Don’t want it. Especially from you.”

“What if it means, I could get you out of this cell?” He dangled the sweet bait of freedom in front of you.

“Loki! Don’t promise something we can’t deliver.” Rogers said in his ear.

Loki ignored him  and continued, “What if…you join us, and we can go after your little HYDRA spies with you?”

[readingreylo]

In honour of my birthday this year I present to you...

Readingreylo's Absolute Favourite Reylo Fanfics

Jessie's be-all and end-all fic list. The fics that I have re-read multiple times. The fics I would pay money for. The first fics I reach for when I've had a shity day. The fics that I have downloaded and printed off and have in a secure place in case the internet ever goes down. Those fics.

(And because it's me, 90% of these are Modern AU. There are some incredible canonverse fics that I have enjoyed, but not many that I come back to again and again like these fics)

Janus by englishable | @englishable | Teen | 48k | Complete | Modern AU | Neighbors | strangers to friends to lovers | Slow burn | Recovering drug addict!Ben | Ben POV | She moves into the apartment beside his, with her flowers and her singing and her brisk optimism, and Ben Solo knows himself just well enough to realize that a person like him really shouldn't have anything to do with a person like her. His good friend Snoke, of course, has other plans, because he gets a certain enjoyment from watching Ben - Kylo Ren, rather, as he calls him - screw things up. Which Ben inevitably does: but that's not where he wants them to end, and maybe Rey doesn't either. | The story of a man facing down his demons and moving forward with his life. | Brillaint charcterization across the board (Snoke was a highlight!). Not just a regular romance, but episodes in Ben's life that culminates in a satisfying payoff. Loved the use of flashbacks. I can't get over all the little details the author pulled from canon to weave into the background! This was the first fic I printed out to keep for a rainy day.

Hanging by a Moment by crossingwinter | @shmisolo | Explicit | 44k | Complete | 2000s AU | Funerals/wakes | Dysfunctional Family Drama | Misunderstandings | Chronic illness | Angst with a HEA | Ben POV | There are many things that Ben could have tolerated about his parents’ divorce. That his mother had finally had it with his father’s borderline illegal—or rather, as he liked to put it, borderline legal—company, the shady activities it covered that would doubtlessly end her political career if a reporter got hold of them; that his father had finally had it with the way his mother nags, because sure, he’d thought it was hot twenty years ago, but he is in fact an adult who can actually keep his shit together—all that he would have gotten. He’d have been wrecked, but he’d have gotten it. His dad leaving his mom for a nineteen-year-old gold-digger though, and his mother not even putting up a fight—that had caught him by surprise. | Ben comes home after years away for his father's funeral to deal with his gold-digger step mother. But nothing is what it seems, and this week away will turn his life upsidedown. | The story, the tension, the emotion! It feels like a movie! Great characters and plot! Drama and romance and a touch of humor with a beautiful and satisfying ending!

between two lives by neonheartbeat | @urulokid | Explicit | 31k | complete | Modern AU | Strangers to lovers | Fashion Model!Rey | Mechanic!Ben Solo | PTSD | military backstory | sexual disfunction | psychological trauma | CW: graphic depiction of violence | Rey POV | Rey Niima, a model driving from Chicago to New York, finds herself broken down in the middle of nowhere, Indiana, without any way to fix her rented car. Ben Solo, the big, silent, resident jack-of-all-trades in Kirby, a town with almost two hundred people, happens to come across her on the road, and offers her a place to wait for a tow, but Ben has a secret he's not willing to share, and Rey is determined to find out what it is... | I cannot count how many times I have read this fic. There is just something about the characterizations, the raw-ness that keeps bringing me back. The story itself is deceptively simple, but sets the stage for multiple emotional punches. On the technical side it's so well crafted. Love the author's prose and the pacing and plotting are engaging. The smut is out-of-this-world hawt.

a place to go by delia-pavorum | @delia-pavorum | Explicit | 52k | Complete | Modern AU | Snowed in | Christmas | Strangers to lovers | Sharing a bed | Cabincore | Canada | Multi POV | Rey is a teacher trying to have some peace and quiet over the holidays. Ben is a writer trying to run from his problems. They both end up snowed in at Luke's cabin. | This feels like a hallmark christmas movie, you know where its gonna end up, but the chemistry and Charcterizations surprise you along the way. With beautifully written prose, an attention to detail that adds a richness and some *chef kiss* smut.

Flux & Solder by angharabbit | @angharabbit | Explicit | 23k | Complete | Modern AU | Neighbors | Domestic Reylo | Retired RCMP!Ben Solo | Artisan!Rey | Angst PTSD | Sexual Disfuction | HEA | Multi POV | Rey’s established a quiet life in the suburbs. Working in her stained glass workshop and reading on the front porch may not be enough though, after a new neighbour makes her question her accepted loneliness. | Brilliant and beautiful! Soft and lovely with a healthy dose of emotional constipation and personal drama. It's not fast-paced, but it's by no means slow or boring. If you can't tell, I love haunted-by-demons Ben Solo, and this fic has that in many suprising details! One of the first fics I truly realized "That's my favourite!"

Cupcake Wars by crossingwinter | Explicit | 36k | Complete | Modern AU | Enemies-to-lovers | Bakers | Rivals | Hate Sex | Rey POV | Entirely by accident, Rey ends up fucking someone who works for Snoke's Cupcakery. She's just blowing off steam. It doesn't mean anything at all. It certainly won't come back to bite her in the ass. | or Rey and Ben work at rival bakeries, and are hooking up for hate sex on the side. What starts as casual slowly becomes anything but. | Beautifully written, fleshed out with great steamy smut. Such a great realized story. Not what I was expecting AT ALL!

Children and Other Wild Animals by Virginia_Tradescant | @silmarilliant | Explicit | 90k | Complete | Modern AU | Multi POV | FBI | Witness Protection | Bodyguard | Organized Crime | Undercover agen!Ben Solo | Hitman!Kylo Ren | Teacher!Rey | Schools/Children | Forbidden relationship | Pining | Drama | Action/violence | Angst | All-aboard-the-pain-train | HEA | Multi POV | Ben Solo's return to field work should be easy, but a sting operation to draw out a mole within the FBI, disguised as Witness Protection will test his every resolve and push him to his limits. Caught in the crossfire is Rey Niima, a early childhood educator who is just trying to teach children and not fall in love with her very own special agent. | Fucking brilliant. Great chemistry between all characters, engaging prose. Love the multi POV (It really added to the drama/angst). Never have I read a fic, where (almost) every chapter I wanted to comment "it hurts so good!". Defintly a Pain Train, but with a super satisfying HEA that makes it worth it.

Above us, stars. Beneath us, constellations. by crossingwinter | Mature | 74k | Complete | Canonverse | TFA re-write | Strangers to friends to lovers | Action | Angst | Multi POV | Ben woke, but Luke’s saber wasn’t ignited. Instead, he saw a master who had shattered his trust, who thought he was a monster, and—worse—he was probably right. So he fled Yavin IV, to Skywalker’s dismay, and no one heard from him since. Years later, on a wasteland planet, a girl and a fugitive stormtrooper board a Corellian YT-1300 light freighter in desperation to find they are not the only ones trying to steal it. | or Ben Solo is on the run from the voices in his head, and gets caught up with a girl, a former stormtrooper and a droid carrying a map to luke skywalker | A brillaint exploration of the butterfly wing effect! You think you know where the story is going, because it's so familiar, but it veers off in suprising directions! Love the story!

Sip the Honey Sweet by dietplainlite | General | 14k | Complete | Historical AU | Edwardian | Prince Edwards Island | Romance | Strangers-to-lovers | Falling in love | Heartbreak | Angst | teacher!Rey | Jewish!Ben Solo | Reconciliation | story within a story | Rey POV | Spring, 1902. It's Rey's first day of teaching at Chandrila school on Prince Edward Island. Her perfectly planned morning starts off on the wrong foot, setting her on a completely unexpected path. | or Rey manages to catch the eye of a man no one has been able to entice before. Friendship blossoms into romance, but Ben's past haunts him. | Beautifully evocative and romantic! Well written, with a charming story. Loved the characterizations and backstories. So much packed into 15k.

At the Edge, Alone, and Burning by Ben_Solo_Good_Boy_Sweater_Emporium | Teen | 24k | Complete | Histroical AU | 1920s | Strangers to lovers | Orphan!Rey | Lighthouse Keeper!Ben Solo | Small town gossip | Marriage of convenience | Falling in love | Rey POV | Orphan Rey starts a new life for herself in a small coastal Maine town. There barely two weeks her life is thrown into turmoil when her benefactress dies unexpectedly. Faced with returning to the loneliness and poverty of the orphanage she instead accepts a marriage proposal from the equally lonely lighthouse keeper, Captain Solo. | Wonderfully romantic! I love the dynamic and budding romance between Rey and Ben. Just the right amount of angst and small town drama. The ending is tooth-rottingly sweet!

The Ballad of You, Me, and Everything in Between by bluetoast | @blue-toast17 | Explicit | 27k | Complete | 1960's AU | A/B/O | Strangers to lovers | Road trip | Porn with Plot | lactation kink | breeding kink | Domestic Fluff | Falling in love | HEA | Multi POV | "Alpha Ben Solo just wanted to get to his new job in Yellowstone National Park by the weekend. He'd had it planned out - get through the major cities outside of rush hours, be there and settled by Saturday. Pretty easy, considering most traffic was headed east, to Woodstock. That was before an omega named Rey Johnson tapped on the window of his Volkswagen bus in some spit in the dirt town in Ohio asking for a ride." | No drama, just fluff, romance and lots of smut! I am such a sucker for a good period peice and bluetoast writes them well!

Back Together by UnderTheCancerMoon | Explicit | 20k | Complete | Modern AU | Infidelity | Strangers to friends to lovers | Drama | Minor Rey/Poe & minor Ben/Bazine | Multi POV | Rey discovers her husband has been having an affair with a colleague. Ben's wife abruptly leaves him after telling him she's in love with someone else. An unusual relationship develops as two strangers try to figure out how to put back the pieces of their broken lives. | Deliciously angsty! A brilliant peice about hurting people finding love again. Every time I read this fic, I can't get over how 'real' these characters and the world they inhabit feel!

the man, the stallion, and the wind by voicedimplosives  | @voicedimplosives | Explicit | 17k | Oneshot | Modern AU | Roadtrip | Strangers to lovers | Snowed In | Multi POV | Weary and alone, Rey barrels west on the Trans-Canada Hwy in her old pickup truck. Weary and in need of a lift, Ben Solo stands by the side of the road with his thumb out, in the hopes of hitching a ride. One hell of a winter storm’s about to roll in, leaving them stranded. What ever shall they do? | it's a pretty predictable plot but the charcterizations feel so genuine that you don't mind at all. Well written with interesting backstory and steamy smut and delicious chemistry. And it's set in Canada too!

The Tenant of Theed Cottage by WaterlilyRose | @waterlilyrose | Explicit | 9k | Oneshot | Historical AU | Regency | Family Drama | PWP | Rey POV | Rey has been a ward of the Organa-Solo family since the age of six. Her memories of their only son Ben Solo are brief but powerful. Now, after a thirteen year absence, he has taken possession of a home within close range of his old family seat. Rey believes a reconciliation can come about. The man is not the boy she remembers and she could soon come to realise she longs for more than the return of a boy she knew so briefly but now recognises as a powerful man. | This feels like a Jane Austen movie adaptation! Steamy AF and Love the plot!

The Mechanic by DaytonBay | Explicit | 122k | Complete | Modern AU | London | Europe | One-night-stand | Unexpected Pregnancy | Strangers to lovers | Poverty | Organized Crime | Violence/action | Drama | Mechanic!Rey | Mafioso!Kylo Ren | Rey is a cinnamonbun | Kylo does not nice things to protect Rey | Found family vibes | OC's | Breaking the law has consequences | HEA | Multi POV | After a memorable one-night-stand Rey finds herself in a spot of trouble-- pregnant with the child of the 2nd of command of The First Order, one of the most powerful organized crime syndicates on the continent. Rey's life will never be the same as she's unwittingly pulled into the high stakes world of Kylo Ren. | So. Fucking. Good. Right off the bat the prose grabs you and immerses you in this engrossing story! Brilliant characterization - especially Rey, so heartbreaking and well written! Fascinating story/plot! Great writting! Love Rey and Kylo*cough*Ben*cough*'s chemistry/dynamic! Lots of steamy; satisfying smut. Interesting, fleshed out OC's that enhance and don't detract. Some crazy dramatics that make it an addicting read! The author does a great job of invoking the setting of London/Europe which I really enjoyed! I repeat: So. Fucking. Good. You know what? A testament to how good this fic is, everytime I come across this fic in my bookmarks I want to read it again!

And Ben Solo is nothing like what she expects. | Brilliantly written, tightly constructed story with a emotional punch. Brilliant characterization for Rey.

Even though she's a beta, for some bizarre reason, she can smell the newly-presented alphas and omegas that surround her in every class. And they STINK. All of them. Especially big, brooding alpha Ben Solo. The only silver lining is that since she is most definitely *not* an omega, she'll never end up with a stinky alpha... she thinks." | brilliant worldbuilding. Defintley a flip-script with Beta's being the minority and facing discrimination. Ben is such a loveable idiot and Rey is my favourite kind of Feral sand goblin. Engaging prose and stellar story telling.

Rey Niima, female, 26, a month's worth of woefully underwhelming hospital charts. A series of inexplicably linked symptoms and no diagnosis in sight. That’s why her file arrives on his desk. He’s the most sought after diagnostician in the country. Prick extraordinaire. Mr. Dry-humour but only at the expense of others. He likes solving complex cases for the sheer thrill of unravelling what others can’t. And he’s finally met his match. If only she could stop saying “Alpha?” Clinical Note: How did the omegaverse start? Or shall we call it the alphaverse? Where did designations come from? It all started with one Patient Zero." | Engaging prose and witty dialogue. Love the dynamics of this fic. It's also a great introduction to the Omegaverse for new readers to a/b/o fics!

An escaped convict discovers a rare omega, hidden in plain sight, and he will not rest, until she is his." | This fic is fucking brilliant! It's been a while since I've read a fic that has been this engrossing! I couldnt stop reading and had to force myself to get some sleep. The author took an original premise, weaved in canon, and then gave it an ending that was satisfying to both canon and the unique world they created! (Way better than that TROS garbage).
