Hi there. That 1993 First board golden book of mother goose nursery rhymes, does the back cover have twinkle twinkle little star? I'm trying to find a complete board book I had as a toddler and all I remember is very vague details. I'm trying to find it for my daughter.
Hi! That book doesn't have Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on its back cover, but it does have it as the final rhyme in the book! Here's the complete book in the order it's printed in:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The inside pages are all the standard, thick cardboard you'd expect from a board book, but the cover is slightly softer, it has a little give to it. If this is the correct book, the ISBN number is 0-307-06143-4 and there's actually a couple copies available for purchase on Thriftbook (though potentially with a different binding)
I hope this helps! If it is this book (or if it's not and you find the correct book later) please let me know, I'm invested in whether the hunt is successful ٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´-

*After a few days or so D10 and the others were finally able to get back to their home. Though the atmosphere felt very different. D10 went upstairs to his room still trying to remember what happened.... What caused that accident to happen?*
Tumblr media
D10: ....... *He tried his best to think, but all he could hear was Diesel and Atharva talking from out of D10'S room.* "Why was I so angry? Why can't I remember? Why....?"
*Out of D10'S room*
Diesel: For the last time we are not going to take his powers! If those powers are the only thing keeping him alive and well then NO! You will NOT take his powers!!
Atharva: YOU don't understand! Those powers are too dangerous for a simple diesel humanoid to handle! Your father is lucky that he even woke up!
Diesel: And you are just going to take his life away if you take his powers!! Besides I don't think you're that powerful anyway! If you really are that powerful then you should easily help us stop the corrupted!
Tumblr media
Atharva: It's a lot more complicated than you think little Diesel.... Unfortunately though you are correct.... *He mumbles* If only that book hadn't been stolen then I would have safely taken those powers away from your father!
Diesel: Well guess what? WE DON'T HAVE THE BOOK! SO NO ONE IS GOING TO TRY TO TAKE HIS POWERS THE WRONG WAY!
*Patchwork listens to the fight and then he goes to D10'S room to see if he was ok. He opens the door a bit.*
Patchwork: ...... Uncle D10?..... Uncle D10.... You... You ok?
Tumblr media
D10: ???- ..... Oh..... Patchwork...... I'm fine..... I'm just tired... It just has been a long few days for me....... I'm trying to remember why and what happened..... But no one is telling me.....
Patchwork: .....oh..... That's not good..... *He was worried. Especially when he saw the figure sitting by D10.* ...... ???- *he was the figure looking at him it kinda looked sad.... It only made things more depressing...* Uncle.... Who's that? *He points at the figure.*
D10: ????- *he looked behind himself but no one was there for him* I think you are just imagining things...... I don't see anything kid...
Patchwork: !?
*The figure looked at patchwork.*
Tumblr media
Patchwork: ...... *He was very quiet and he didn't like how sad the figure was.* ..... *He didn't understand why D10 couldn't see the figure sitting right behind him* .....
D10: Why don't you go check on your siblings.... I'll be out in a bit.... I'm just thinking for a bit.... *The figure only seemed to make D10 sad and depressed in a way.*
Patchwork: *He wanted to tell D10 about the figure again but he didn't want to upset D10*...... Ok..... Uncle D10..... *He slowly walks away while looking at D10 and the figure with D10.* ....... *Then Patchwork looked at Diesel and Atharva and thought for a bit.* "That book.... That father took.... Maybe I can give it back to the angel ...... But then my father would be upset then..... I need to find a way to get it ..." *He thought to himself*
*Somewhere in the abandoned area of Sodor.*
Scotsman: *He is trying to figure a way out to escape this hell. Since he was only in his core form he didn't have that much movability.*
Corrupted Leader: *he sets the book down on a old desk and looked at Scotsman* "Trying to find a escape I see?"
Scotsman: *he grumbles to himself* LET ME OUT OF HERE! TAKE ME BACK TO MY BROTHER!
Corrupted Leader: ah.... Hehe.... Well I don't think I can do that... Besides your brother is busy dropping off passengers to the mainland.....
Scotsman: .... How..... How do you know that? ......
Corrupted Leader: Well I snuck some of my scouts in the few coaches he is taking to the mainland....
Scotsman: !!!!!- WHAT!!?! NO!! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!
Corrupted Leader: Ha! I think it's a bit too late to say that to me.... Oh!! I almost forgot! I have a little surprise for you!
*He picks up Scotsman and puts him on a different table but this one had something on it and it was covered by a huge sheet.*
Scotsman: ???- W-what.... What is that.....? Oh God what is that horrible smell!
Corrupted Leader: *he grabs the sheet* Why it's your surprise silly! *He takes off the sheets to reveal a ripped up and horribly disfigured Scotsman humanoid body.....*
Scotsman: OH DEAR GOD!! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!!! *He screamed loudly*
Corrupted Leader: what do you mean... I fixed it up for you..... Do you like it....? I'm still working on it but it's very close to being done....
Tumblr media
Scotsman: *he was hyperventilating a bit* I..... I .... I just want to go home.... I want to go home *he quietly cried out* ....
Corrupted Leader: Oh don't cry..... My child.... You'll be able to do what you need to do when this body is fully completed.... I got to make sure it's perfect.... *He smiled underneath his mask* Now I have to go to something real quick.... I have to get that Topham Hatt to this world so .... *He grabs the book* See you in a bit I hope you love your surprise!!
Scotsman: ..... *He begins to cry quietly he just wanted to go home. That's all he wanted just to go back home. He wanted his brother and family with him he was afraid of what he is going to turn into.* Gordon.... Spencer.... Everyone..... Please be ok.... I'm sorry for what is going to happen to me.... I don't want to hurt anyone.... I just want to go home........

okay one more dr ask thing (dont feel obligated to answer if you dont want to BUT) Id really love to hear what you think about the big questions 20 and 42, its bit something Ive seen peoole discuss on tumblr at length recently
Had a few thoughts for the first one so putting them under the cut
20. What is your favorite aspect of Danganronpa?
This one's a bit hard to put into words but I'll try.
I love Danganronpa plotlines that kind of HAD to happen based on the context was built up, and characters who are doomed by some core aspect of their situation (either plot context or their own intrinsic character traits).
I think Nagito's a good example of this, because him being Like That is so tied to his talent on every level as well as to the setting of the killing game, but with context it feels like he couldn't have turned out any other way. His whole "this despair will lead to even greater hope" thing cannot be separated from the fact that his talent literally guarantees anything unlucky that happens to him to be reimbursed with something lucky. Everything in his life is so dialed up to 1000 that his only way of staying hopeful on a personal level is to believe that the cycle ends at the universe righting itself, a sentiment that the setting of the killing game makes the others see (correctly) as illogical but him cling to as salvation. He's the most extreme version of what Chiaki and Kamishiro describe where people get defined by their talents.
Dr3 Chiaki is another one of my absolute favorite examples, though in her case what gets me is more a matter of framing. You first see her and your immediate thought is "WAIT why is Chiaki here? There isn't any human Chiaki later-" and then after a second the dots connect™. But if you're anything like me, you still end up endeared by her, and so will find yourself hoping against hope that maybe she'll be ok. And so of course, she isn't, she was never going to be, she dies as horribly as possible, setup and payoff. Aside from all the junkozuru stuff, Chiaki's arc is easily my favorite part of dr3 because it takes advantage of its nature as a prequel and uses your own expectations to build dread.
Speaking of prequels, I feel like Danganronpa Zero (my favorite part of the Dr series thus far) also utilizes its chronological location well to build an air of inevitability. Like you know after this book comes The Literal Apocalypse, so the question isn't if or how everything will go to shit but when. And our protagonist's attitude of denial only heightens your unease, because she's so singlemindedly set on having a happy life with Matsuda and blocking everything else out that you can't help but assume that ultimately will become impossible (and of course in the back of your mind, the fact that neither of them is ever seen again later in the series nags at you). But then it turns out that Ryoko is doomed not only by the narrative but also by her base character premise. Her very existence was conditional and she was never going to win; Junko would never be able to find satisfaction chasing such dreams.
(Sidenote: I would also argue that Junko and Izuru are both intrinsically doomed by their own boredom tied to their ridiculously OP talents. This is why Junko devotes herself to insane schemes that will never be enough, and why Izuru's two choice coping mechanisms are a) give up or b) help her).
Plus on reread, not only does Ryoko's plight become more tragic, but Matsuda's whole thing feels a lot more predetermined, both because Junko had the whole thing literally planned from the beginning (which is foreshadowed in ways that drive me up the wall), and because it's like. All Matsuda's actions tie back to the combination of his classmates being murdered + his loyalty to Junko + his suspicions he's trying desperately to first ignore and then disprove that she's behind this + guilt over harboring her + guilt over Soshun + guilt over lashing out at Ryoko about this when she doesn't remember and LOVES him, guilt guilt guilt guilt. Of COURSE he's a confused, bitter contradictory mess, how would this character be anything else in this context.
So, the short answer would be that dr0 Mukuro's repeated "that's the kind of story this is" quote encompasses the ideal Danganronpa vibe (ik she only repeats that in one of the two dr0 fanstranslations I have on hand but I like the quote and so am hoping it's canon)
42. How do you feel about the Danganronpa fandom as a whole?
Eh, I feel like I'm not really the best person to ask here? My perception is skewed by the facts that a) I only really interact with dr fans on Tumblr (or insta but then it's mostly ppl who've followed me first) b) I'm very quick to block strangers if it seems like they're shitty or annoying and c) I've been into dr for less than a year. So I feel like I've been able to keep my own experiences relatively good bc of that?
Generally a lot of the weird bigotry I've seen here is people uncritically parroting the same stuff present in the games, but also I've been a fan of media with far fewer issues where the fandom really wasn't much better (see: utdr. Trying to find letsplayers who I didn't hate was just as hard there as here; currently I've got like 2 channels I trust to be normal about dr but that's it). So basically no good fandoms only good friends

— sweet dreams
feral boys x gn! reader || headcanons
Tumblr media
genre : fluff
warnings : swearing
summary : the feral boys' reaction to you falling asleep in their embrace or on them!
a/n : AYY HELLO!! i'm so sorry for the lack of content these last three days OTL but here's something i wrote, hope you guys liked it! ♡
song to listen to while reading :
— DREAM
let's say dream has just finished recording for his upcoming manhunt video and it was a chilly night
well, the solution? a gun CUDDLES!!! ♡
he's a sucker for cuddles and you love cuddling with him too, so why not?
the two of you plopped yourselves on the bed, warm blankets wrapping the two of you together
the first plan was to watch a movie, but the two of you ended up talking to each other and leaving the movie unwatched
he share many stories with you, letting you rest your head on his chest whilst listening to him. he would also put an arm around your shoulders to keep you warm and close to him 🥺
as time passes by, it was getting late. you felt really safe around dream, especially if you were in his embrace
your eyelids grew heavier each time you tried fighting it off and focus on dream's voice, which leads to you unconsciously falling asleep on his chest
after a few seconds talking, dream would realize your sleeping figure in his embrace and OHMYGOD
HE WANTS TO FREAK OUT SO BAD BECAUSE HOW CUTE YOU WERE—
lowkey scared that he might somehow crush you or something because you're the tiny little spoon in the current situation
man, he had to refrain himself from taking a picture of you sleeping in his embrace
and the fact that you felt safe enough to fall asleep in his arms makes him tear up (in a positive way!) 🥺
would slowly move you to a more comfortable position and carefully pull you closer to his chest, making sure that he doesn't wake you up
[hugs you tightly]
ALSO just like any other times, mans would secretly mark the date in his phone's calendar because OHMYGOD????? this date better be stamped on history books
after getting into a slightly more comfortable position, dream would just adore you— even only from looking at you, his serotonin level will always go 📈📈
would 100% whisper i love you's or other sweet words while looking at you
mans just smiling to himself, thinking about how much he loves you and adores you— and how lucky he is to have you in his embrace 🥺💞
after some time, he would start to drift away too and ending up sleeping while hugging you tightly in his arms 🥺
— GEORGE
the two of you were sleepyheads
like at the weekends? both you and george would just lazily lay on the bed and fall asleep together regardless what time it was
even at noon? NAP TIME
and today was one of those lazy days
you were laying your head on his lap, which leads to him to his habit of playing with your hair while joking around with you and talk about random things
he just absolutely adores your fluffy hair 🥺
he'd also learn how to braid hairs from youtube just so he could braid yours 🥺
AND SURPRISINGLY HE'S SO GOOD AT BRAIDING HAIRS 💞💞
the way he caressed your head was so comforting, which leads you to feel sleepy. you still wanted to talk with george so you tried fighting off the sleepiness but ended up falling asleep anyways
after not hearing a respond from you, he realized you fell asleep.
WAIT, YOU FELL ASLEEP ON HIS LAP AND THE WAY YOU LOOKED SO ADORABLE SHOULD BE ILLEGAL—
a blush crept up on his cheeks as he looked at your sleeping figure on his lap
ohmygod he absolutely adores this and 100% would plan more sleepy days with you just to see you fall alseep on his lap again
george would admire you shyly, his fingers still softly caressing your hair while making sure not to do it too hard since he doesn't want to wake you up 🥺
he looks at you > gets shy from how adorable you are and how much he loves you > look away > missing looking at you > back to the first step (put this cycle on repeat)
GOSH he just wants to pull you close to his embrace now but that's not possible to do since he doesn't want to wake you up ;(
as he secretly admires you, he would slowly feel sleepy too but he doesn't want to move you away from his lap
so this man right here decided to just sleep in a sitting position which he didn't mind too much since he could still lean his back on the stacked pillows
come on— he doesn't wanna ruin this adorable moment :( it's worth the back pain according to him 👍
and so with that, the two of you fell alseep peacefully 🥺💞
— SAPNAP
mans a whole ass tease @ you
mf would browse through hundreds of websites and collect the cheesiest jokes he can find to use them on you later 😳
also won't stop clinging on you for 24/7 but you don't mind since he's so adorable 🥺💞
and today was just the same like any other days, he clung on you and begged you to cuddle with him
how can you refuse such a sweet offer????
so here you are now laying on the bed with his arms around your shoulders, holding you close to him
the two of you would just joke and laugh at many things, just havin' a wholesome fun time 🥺
don't forget the fluffy blankets around the two of you (you adore soft blankets so sapnap bought you at least 3 blankets and you absolutely loved all three of them 🥺)
until at one point everything felt so comfortable that you didn't even realize you were drifting yourself to sleep
and the moment sapnap realized you fell asleep sweetly in his embrace?
[!(-?#?2@&&????? SCREAMS???? —NO, MAKE THE SCREAM SILENT SO IT WON'T WAKE YOU UP]
he can't help but let out a soft chuckle when saw your sleeping figure
oh man, he was gripping on the pillow tightly so that he doesn't lose control and pull you closer to him which could wake you up
100% gonna make you cuddle with him everyday until you fall asleep on him (mans just making it a routine now)
he would also have to refrain himself from squishing your cheeks while looking at you in awe 🥺💞
even though he's growing sleepy too, he won't give in so easily
like— hello??? a cutie pie just fell asleep in my arms, sleep can wait 🖐🖐
but then eventually he'll fall asleep anyways, but he swore he tried his best keeping his eyelids up and that's sweet 🥺
((would 100% unconsciously pull you closer and just hug you tightly in his sleep ♡))
— QUACKITY
we all know how much alex LOVES driving and mans really good at it (he knows what he's doing fellas)
especially with you 😳😳
the two of you would blast banger songs together while enjoying the road and the pretty view from the window 🥺
it was one of those afternoons again where the two of you went for a stroll with his car
both you and alex planned on only going for a short stroll, but ended up strolling around for almost 3 hours now
but neither of you cared, alex loves spending lots of time with you and same goes with you 🥺💞
the two of you wanted to get some fresh air for a bit after such a long drive, so you stopped by at the nearest field before driving back home
and man, the view was indeed beautiful
the two of you had moved to the back seat so he can get closer to you
as the two of you talked while watching the sun setting down, you started feeling a little bit sleepy
you shrugged it off at first and continued to talk with alex, but then you couldn't help but fall asleep with your head leaned on his shoulders eventually
and when he realized you has fallen asleep on his shoulders?
OH MY— HIS HEART WENT BRRRRRR BECAUSE OF HOW CUTE YOU ARE
definitely will plan on doing this in the furture but at home so he can just adore your sleeping figure for as long as he wants to
he has to drive back home but this moment is very important so he chose to stay there for at least the next 1 more hour 🥺💞
he just wants to kiss you on the forehead so bad but he's scared that he might wake you up :[
but then again, it was getting really late and he has to drive the two of you back home so he would carefully make you lay down on the back seat and he would put his jacket underneath your head as a pillow 🥺💞
and when the two of you arrived back home, he would carefully carry you back in and just cuddle you up for the rest of the night until he falls asleep too ♡
— KARL
karl jacobs has 2 moods : the wholesome mood and the cursed mood, no in betweens
he can either be very wholesome and send you the cutest hamster pics ever or just send you cursed, unexplainable images like macaronis boiled in gatorade
but even though he's in the cursed mood, his clinginess for you will stay the same ♡ (which you absolutely loved)
you loved both of his moods anyways since it's sweet and funny 🥺💞
today, he was feeling extra wholesome so he would just chill with you on the sofa in your matching frog hoodies and your head on his lap
((yes, he bought matching frog hoodies with you at christmas to wear them together 🥺👉👈))
the two of you would be watching cartoons, especially adventure time!! (it's superior cartoon, you can't change my mind)
then as time passes by, you felt your eyelids grew heavy but you tried fighting it back
yeah, you ended up falling asleep at the end 😔
karl noticed how you grew silent and when he checked on you only to see you sleeping on his lap?
yeah karl's never gonna leave his seat, 100%
mans just smiling to himself from looking at how cute you are in your oversized frog hoodie, asleep on his lap 🥺
GOSH this better happen frequently in the future because if not? he'll commit ARSON
he would try softly play with your hair, making sure his touches were soft so he doesn't wake you up
the cartoon is now long forgotten, his focus is just full on the sweetheart sleeping on his lap 🥺💞
he would constantly check on you and pull the blanket back up to your body if it moves back down, and make sure that he doesn't shift his legs too much because it might wake you up :(
will also try his best to not fall asleep because MAN, HE CAN'T JUST SKIP THIS HISTORICAL MOMENT
but he fell asleep anyways after holding back for around 40 minutes, which is impressive 😳
just like george, he doesn't mind falling asleep in a sitting position 👍 backpain = worth it

Haikyuu poly headcannons!! <33
 Pairs: Kageyama & Hinata, Oikawa & Iwaizumi, Ushijima & Tendo, Sakusa & Atsumu, Kurro & Kenma, and finally Bokuto & Akaashi. 
part 2
Sfw AND Nsfw 
Slight time skip spoilers!!!
let me know what you want to see next
word count: 2.6K I got a bit carried away. lol
FEMALE READER
Tumblr media
Kageyama Tobio  and Hinata Shoyo
Sfw
It's a constant fight for attention
They are polar opposites, Hinata is warm and energetic while Kageyama is confused and awkward, but  they both love you so much it hurts.
How you got together was kind of a funny story, you and Hinata knew each other from middle school and reconnected when you met at a local mall in tokyo. So when you and Hinata started hanging out more he couldn't help but brag to Kageyama about it, which led to him wanting to meet you and thus began the year long fight for your love. 
You couldn't choose between them so they came to the decision that they would just share you!
Your dynamics are pretty simple, you spend as much time with whoever is not at practice at the time, lucky they have two completely different practice schedules, Hinata in the morning and Kageyama in the afternoon.
That meant cuddling with Kags in the morning and cooking lunch with Hinata in the afternoon. 
You guys also have a weekly date night! You have a rotation of who gets to choose what they want to do. 
Unsurprisingly Hinata likes volleyball inspired dates, but he also likes the movie and picnic dates!
Kageyama is a bit more romantic, shockingly (he read a dating book), like romantic dinners and late night walks , shopping, anything to see you happy.
They also love anything you want to do, stay in? They make popcorn for movies. Dinner? Where, what and when should they make a reservation. 
They are literally so whipped for you.
Nsfw
Oh~ ho ho~
I am a firm believer that these two are switches. 
Hinata is a bit more submissive than Kags (for the most part), but he has his moments. 
And i have this thing where Kags makes you and Hinata fuck while he watches biut votgh of you are power bottoms.
Toys toys toys
I'm talking double ended dildos and vibrators galore.
Punishments are usually for Hinata and consist of you riding Kags while he watches, and its absolute torture.
They also have nights where they have you alone and those are sweet and romantic, rose petals and candles. 
It's never boring <33
“Tobio, doesn't she look so pretty?” 
“God Shoyo you’ll cum in your pants if you grind like that” 
“ go fuck yourself on the fucking dldo like a slut” 
Tumblr media
Oikawa Tooru and Iwaizumi Hajime 
Sfw
There are two ways that this happened
1. You grew up with them and slowly fell in love through your life, and you all got together in highschool
Or 
2. You met Oikawa in Argentina, literally fell in love at first sight, stars in your eyes. This led to him bringing you back to Japan, which led to you meeting “Iwa-chan” (who looked much more beautiful in person). After hanging out everyday for about 3 weeks Oikawa bright up the idea of sharing
And here you are! 
You guys are all similar but you share personal things with each boy
With oikawa you have the obsession with aliens and you too even have a beauty routine that you do every night before bed.
With Iwaizumi you, of course, make fun of Oikawa at every waking moment. But! You also do all different kinds of exercise with him. You have a monthly yoga class and a swim aerobics program every other tuesday! 
These two spoil you so much it's ridiculous.
Perfumes, jewelry, clothes and even gaming things.
They will get you anything even if you don't want it (and they are rolling in cash so it doesn't really matter.) 
Nsfw
Iwaizumi rules the bedroom.
And as much as Oikawa pretends to be the top, he falls apart the second you kiss him neck. 
Favorite position?
Simple. It can go two ways.
Oikawa laying on his back, Iwa fuking him into heaven and you sitting on his face OR you on your stomach ass up with Iwa between your legs and Oikawa's dick in your mouth. 
The only real times Oikawa is in you is when Iwazumi wants to see both of you be pathetic sluts, or when Oikawa is being punished, mostly cockwarming while he is tied and not able to thrust in you.
 Double penetration?
 Your punishment.
Whine and cry all you want neither of them are slowing down, this is really the only time Oikawa is dominant in the bedroom
“Aw, Tooru, look at her! So pathetic!”
“You look like two whores trying to fuck, Harder brats” 
“Oh! Iwa her throat gets tighter when you do that!” 
Tumblr media
Ushijima Wakatoshi and Tendo Satori
Sfw
Oh bby how did you get so lucky?
You have the best of both worlds!
Tendo, who you can joke around and cook with.
And Ushijima, your pillar and voice of reason. 
This relationship was 100% started by Tendo. No question. He saw you and decided right then and there that you were his, and what kind of best friend would he be if he didn't share with Wakatoshi! 
Thank god you were willing to do this, it would have Broken Satori AND Wakatoshis heart :((
This WAS the best decision of your life. 
Your first date as a threesome was so cute, it started with walking around tokyo and you stopped and ate in a small cafe. You begged them to pay and they didn't let you so this became a game to see if you could ever find a way to pay before them.(you're still failing to this day) 
After the cafe they took you to a small beach that had a little volleyball net set up. Insert uwus here
They taught you how to play, the basics if you didn't already know, and you guys played around until it was 2am 
All of your dates are different but they either end like that or cuddling on the couch wachting movies. OR you know ;))
Nsfw
UHHH there are two ways this could go. 
You being absolutely ruined by these two. Both being pretty big, they easily overpower you. 
Tendo also has the obsession with being in your ass while ushijima rips your poor pussy apart. 
Sadist tendo also makes a slight appearance, not letting yu cum for hours then making you cum over and over and over again
Or 
Mr. Tendo controls what you and Toshi do! 
Trust me Wakatoshi is still controlling you every waking second, but having Tendo tell him what to do (being slightly unaware of what to do anyway) gets him off just as much as you. 
And when he’s feeling more adventurous, Tendo has kept you and Ushijima on literal leashes at his feet while he just chilled out. (i literally love this so much-)
You guys do a lot of exploring!
“Harder Toshi, the slut can take it”
“” we don't have enough dicks to fill all your holes” 
“Satori! Please!” “Shhh, floor whores don't get to talk” 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sakusa Kiyoomi and Miya Atsumu
My #2 pair 
DAMN, i can't even put how whipped they are for you in words. 
You defiantly knew Sakusa first. 
You two met in the supermarket, much to his displeasure he had to shop for himself, it was the classic strangers to lovers trope 
You both reached for the same countertop cleaner! 
To both of your shock you touched his hand and immediately started to apologize to him (he couldn't even reply because he was so stunned by your beauty) 
He snapped back and started to interrogate you about what cleaning products you use, you both didn't even realize how much time passed with you just talking about how you clean.
Eventually you exchanged numbers and texted almost all day.  
This led to him texting you back every chance he had during practice breaks, but he never told you he was a professional volleyball players AND happened to be on one of the top teams in the country, (you found out when he randomly followed you on instagram)
Eventually he got sloppy and Atsumu looked at his phone and found your number! Aren't you lucky ;) almost immediately after he started to question Sakusa about you
Who is she?
Where did you meet?
Is she pretty?
Gimmie her number Omi, i wanna know her too!
Eventually Atsumu just stole his phone and started to non-stop call you. 
“Uh Kiyo? This guy keeps calling me and asking me questions about you.”
“Ignore it” 
It got so bad that when you officially met atsumu he had followed Sakusa to your meeting spot, and you hit it off! (much to Kiyoomi’s disdain) 
After a few months, and a lot of talks, all three of you entered a relationship!
Your dynamic was great! You were clean like Sakusa and fun like Atsumu!
Perfect!
Another spoiling group, it's like they just know what you want. It doesn't even matter what you think :// no take backs :))
Plus you have girl time when they are at practice, a good time to plan surprises ;)
You even got Atsumu into skin and hair care (kiyoomi approves) 
You are literally perfect (and the hottest couple in the planet) 
Nsfw
Sakusa is in control.
No question.
He wants ti fuck you? Done.
He wants to watch you play with yourself. Already rubbing circles on your clit. 
He wants you to ride Atsumu until you squirt? You're bouncing on Atsumu Cumming and cumming. 
Believe it or not Sakusa AND Atsumu love messy blowjobs, seeing you slobber all over yourself and their cocks is the most beautiful thing to them. 
Atsumu also has the dirtiest most vulgar mouth on earth, will not spare your feelings one bit. 
But that doesn't even measure up to how Kiyoomi speaks to you. He has no shame is telling you that they are going to let everyone on the team fuck you senseless. 
Sakusa also loves to punish you and Atsumu for literally anything, he will tie you to each other and put vibrators in your holes and just watch you  two desperately grind on each other to get relief that just won't come. 
(they both love to ruin your orgasm too) 
“Go Whore i know you can bounce faster than that” 
“Look at her Omi! Isnt she the best little cumdump? Yes you are! Yes you are!” (pls he treats you like a pet) 
“Hey Miya. Wouldn't shugo just love to have her on her knees for him? I think we should let her sometime” 
I would do anything for these two- 
Tumblr media
Kuroo Tetsuro and Kozume Kenma
Oh? You're the most spoiled pet in the world?
You definitely grew up together, aka you've had both of them wrapped around your finger since you were 8.
 You guys probably started dating after you accidentally let it slip that you were in love with the both of them. 
After you all confessed and talked for hours, you were officially dating!
Not much has changed, but they were more affectionate and loving and more physical with you. 
Your dates are really random, all the varying schedule and all. 
They take you to anime cafes and gaming cafes and ALL the different cafes. 
They always tell you you don't have to work but you feel bad so you started a makeup channel on youtube! And of course you were a sensation! 
You and Kenma make little collab videos and were voted as the cutest couple of the year! 
But that doesn't1 mean you aren't involved in Kuroos life just as much! 
You help him get ready every morning, he just “can't” tie his tie even after doing it since highschool. 
You make him a unique bento everyday! 
You even buy him little chemistry sets whenever you see that a new model was released!
Plus living with two cuddle bugs is a dream for any girl ;)
Nsfw 
The way that both of them are into cockwarming- 
Whenever Kenma is not streaming he wants you to sit on his cock, just be a good kitten and do it. 
No worries! Between rounds he'll start to pound you for as long as he can, but it's never enough  for you to cum :// too bad you'll just have to wait until he’s done, or when Kuroo some home. 
With Kuroo it's usually when he is doing more work in his home office. This is pure torture.
He won’t even pay attention to you until HE wants to cum. 
To add on to that neither of them are afraid of fucking you infront of people. 
Kenma has no fear of keeping you at his feet while he streams so you can suck him off whenever he wants. 
One time he was on a zoom call with his PR team and they had no idea you were deepthroating his cock under where the camera could see. 
Kuroo is the worst with this too, he’ll start fucking you when he knows he ahs a work call in a few minutes, so in the middle of fucking he’ll just answer the phone and make you shut up :((
Both of them together? You’re fucked. (literally haha) 
Kenma a bottom , 100%, just not as much as you.
Sex mostly means kuroo fucking you and sucking kenma off. 
“I wonder if everyone would still follow you if they  knew what a slut you are” 
“Kitten you have to be quiet for Daddy now, this call is important” 
“Look at that kenma, she’s cumming all over the place while drooling all over you!” 
Tumblr media
Bokuto Kotaro and Akaashi Keji
The owl nest?  Yes Ma’am.
You were akaashis girlfriend first, but that meant you were practically dating Bokuto anyway. 
Akaashi? He loved it, you were just so cute when you tled to Kotaro! 
When he got excited, you got excited and you were just the cutest two babies in the world!
 The way you would talk for hours about nonsense and laugh about the stupidest things. 
Slowly but surely Akaashi braugh Bokuto into the relationship, and you had no objections! 
It started with small things like movie nights that turned into sleepovers that became full dates! 
Dates? Oh man you go on one almost every night! 
The movies! Bookstores! Restaurants! 
Even to the volleyball gym.
Sometimes Akaashi takes you to Bokuto’s games and you two just Cheer your lungs out!
This seems crazy but one time on your anniversary that took you to an owl farm! 
It was probably the funnest night of your life, and that was it all three of you knew that this was how you wanted to spend the rest of your lives. 
Nsfw 
Bokuto might be the driving force but Akaashi is the real mastermind behind the bedroom life. 
Sex mostly includs being railed by Bokuto for hours while Akaashi whispers sweet praises in your ears, telling you how good your gtaking Bokuto. 
Akaashi is also a firm believer in punishing people with toys,aka Bokuto getting ahead of himself and ignoring Akaashis commands which lands him tied up and a vibrator pressed to his sild until his orgass are dry :)
 Of course you are no better, cumming before your told or vene worse masterbating without permission. 
That lands you with a bunny vibrator, unable to move and just watching as Akasshi fucks Bokuto with your favorite dildo :( 
But if you'd just listen this would have never happened, just promise not to do it again! 
“Keji please, pease, wanna cum s-so bad” 
“Gee, you're just sucking him in huh? After all this time you still want more!” 
“You are just the prettiest little thing huh.”

I saw that you were accepting applications for a romantic match for Twisted Wonderland, and I just couldn't help but write to you.
So, I'm 21 years old, I'm Sagittarius, INFP and Hufflepuff. I'm quite an open, gentle and emotional person. I like to give others cute nicknames and make compliments. I'm an artist, and although I'm often in a calm mood, sometimes I get a little chaotic. To climb into the water for reeds, being in beautiful shoes? Yes.
I really like saturated bright colors, so I prefer to dress that way. My favorite colors are red and green. I also like to decorate my clothes with badges, acrylic paints and decorative buttons. I also love hiking and nature. I like to challenge myself and overcome ten thousand steps or more. Mushroom and strawberry themes are my favorites, so I often wear jewelry with fly agarics or strawberries. From interests: drawing, reading, writing stories, walking and collecting. From music, I like to listen to folk, sometimes classical music.
I hope my letter didn't get too messy. Thank you for considering my request!✨
A/N: Thank you so much for your request! I had a lot of fun with writing this one! I also happen to have quite a mushroom themed collection xD.
A/N: This one is certainly longer. What can you say? I love this man and went on a rampage xD
Tumblr media
I match you with.........
Jade Leech
• Hiking dates, hiking dates, HIKING DATES! Honestly, when this eel heard about your love of hiking and then also hears about the collection of mushrooms themed items, he was whipped. Someone he can share his interest with and won't look at him funny for it! You get someone who also loves mushrooms and hiking and he gets to spend time with you. It's a win-win.
• Your INFP personality is something he loves about you. Intuitive and perceptive. You're quiet but you are very much aware of what is happening around you. Almost as if you are a dangerous predator lurking within the deep, unknown to those around you but you are certainly fully aware of them. You take the phrase 'Don't judge a book by its cover' in quite the sense. Perhaps when he first met you, he saw you as an easy mark, someone for Azuk to easily swindle into a contact, but, oh how wrong he was. You were far more perceptive of other than he had originally thought. The idea was to keep a close eye on you. Well, that soon turned into infatuation and adoration. His twin still teases him relentlessly over it.
• Speaking of Floyd, the brothers are a package deal most of the time. Floyd wants to see who managed to get his ever calculating brother completely whipped and pretty much wrapped around your finger. He finds the whole situation amusing. But, if his brother is happy, then so is he. But don't go off breaking his heart. Floyd WILL need to be held back.
• As stated, there are certainly hiking dates, but other places include the Mostro Lounge (he refuses to let you pay. Again, we need a raise from the 'headmaster'), maybe a local Cafe in the town on the island, or even if you both are lucky enough, he takes you to the Coral Sea. He's reverted back to his original form, and you have an underwater breathing potion, courtesy of Azul.
• Again, speaking of his original eel form, he was initially a bit worried as to what you may think of his true self, in this form. But just like so many other times, you've managed to surprise him. Not to mention, getting hugs and cuddles in a form that's at meant twice of human size? Bliss.
• Jade would join in on your collecting hobby. After all, think about what tou cab gather beneath the waves of the ocean you couldn't get to before? You guys could go up into the mountains, him just admiring what you've worn for this day, with those beautiful shoes, then seeing the joy on your face. He wouldn't trade this for anything.
• Perhaos he has found you a souvenir back home, or while school wss on break and for whatever reason, you couldn't be with one another. Little mushroom earrings, a Strawberry pendant necklace, all the way to a beautiful charmed bracelets with such themes are among the collection of things he's gotten for you. What can he say? He quite likes to spoil you.
• There was one time he was in the greenhouse, tending to his mushrooms and you were there with him, back againsy a tree with your knees tucked up, and sketch book in hand. He could never miss thr way your gaze would continue to glance back at him from time to time when he finally questioned you about it. As it turns out, you decided that he would be your muse for the day and you had drawn him as he was tending to the growing collection of mushrooms that he had. He requested the picture. It now sits in a frame on his desk within his dorm rroom. Floys also teases him on that.
• If he catches you within the Lounge while he is currently working, either your studying, doing homework, or reading a new book you either got from the library or one he managed to get for you, a smile is on his face and you are served a drink on the house by yours truly.
• Azul also seems to take notice that, even though Jade already is an exceptional worker, he goes even more above and beyond wheen you're there. Cue a nice little spot reserved just for you whenever you come in where Jade gets to be able to see you no matter where he is at. Or maybe you can study within the VIP lounge? Though. Jade is iffy on that. He's not about to let you get roped into a contract. He knows how those work and he doesn't want you on the receiving bad end of a contract gone bad.
• While fights are very far and few between, they are still.bound to happen eventually. It's all a part of a growing relationship. After a fight though, while he may be stubborn, he does not like seeing you upset. Whime be won't downright apologize, because you can never know what this eels words really mean at times, there are the subtle hints that are there. He's more attentive than usual, he becomes just a little more touchy with you, maybe even hold onto you in the quiet moments the bith of you are either laying in his bed or yours. He's a firm believer that actions speak louder than words and he will die on that hill.
• For a while, he never understood fulky his brothers fascination and love when it came to squeezing people all of the time. Sure, it's in their biology, but that's the most thought he's he's put into it. Then he met you, and now he understands. While he may not give squeezes like his brother, he would rather not break one of your bones as he would never forgive himself, in the quiet moments, he finds himself clinging onto you a little tighter than usual, wrapping his arms around you, legs tangled together. Yeah, he gets it now.
• I believe that there are times when Jade's moods changes like his brothers but not to the same extreme. It's harder to tell when he gets into one of his own moods as he is so much better at hiding things. When he gets like this, take him back to your dorm (let's say, if you're on Ramshackle, he managed to get you a much better set up in your room), get them shoes off and jacket, play some of your more softer tunes of folk or classical music, and lay down with him. Keep his head on your chest, he loves the sound of your heartbeat, a reminder that you're actually here with him. And gently comb his hair. You can feel him relax quite a bit as he clings to you and eventually lulls him to sleep. Between his vice housewarden duties, his status as a student, work at the Lounge, taking care of things for Azul, and wrangling his chaotic twin, this poor eel is tired and basically on the brink of a burn out. He needs this.
• Overall, you are the one thing in his life that he never knew that he needed. He's always been taking care of others, mostly his twin, and working for Azul, that he also needed someone to take care of him. He loves you and he would much rather give up his prized mushrooms than to loose you.

Cql The Untamed rewatch and cry party
These updates will come so slow, i apologize. I'm getting busier, don't worry i won't forget.
Episode 3
Last time we ended with Wei wu xian remembering the time he and his siblings went to study at Cloud Recesses. Easily one of my favorite arcs, the last time we will see weiying be truly be a kid and free. Later on everyone was forced to grow up way too fast.
Tumblr media
Mianmian makes her first appearance, i truly love her. Strong, cute, beautiful... no wonder wwx flirted with her (although i know what his motive was).
Tumblr media
Talking about the peacock... ugh, honestly i agree with a lot weiying and jiangcheng have to say about him. We get it, you're from a big sect, do you need the whole attention of everyone in town? See… i'm getting heated again. In the later episodes i warm up to him, but in the days he was studying in cloud recesses? Bleh! Jiang Yanli shouldn't have been so terribly sad about him.
Let's focus on the important again! Lan wangji has arrived!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is, for everyone who didn't know, different from the book. In the novel Wangxian meet each other for the first time at the night-roof scene. Personally, i'm not mad about the change. This entrance was so powerful. There will be multiple mentions of this but how Yibo plays Lanzhan is just perfect. In my mind there couldn't be anyone else. The same, very much, also applies to Xiao zhan. I admire how well both of their demeanor changes with the age they portray.
Question: Do you think young Lan zhan already got fond of Weiying after their first meeting, or was that later? (When?)
I'm on the side of "He was already slightly fond of this new student from Yunmeng the first time they met". Of course i will defend my stance. Surprisingly i really only need one thing.
The fact he went back to get the Jiangs.
He wasn't asked to find them by his brother or uncle, actually HE explained the situation to Lan Xichen and asked if he could let them in. You can’t tell me he would do this for anyone else, this is very much out of the ordinary. No invitation, no entry. He basically broke a rule by letting them in. How romantic, first day and he is already breaking rules for Weiying.
Tumblr media
One of everyones favourite scenes, and i can only agree. This troublemaker... Wei wu xian, how dare he break so many rules in one go? And why is he so hot while drinking alcohol on the roof? I wouldn't know, lanzhan, sorry. This was the point where both got more interested. Honestly, i think Weiying would've teased him regardless, his personality just makes it so easy. But especially after that short fight, in the book he says how he's the best in fighting and even Jiang cheng only sometimes wins. Imagine being a young wwx and meeting this young master from another sect who makes fighting interesting and matches your level, how exciting. Lan wang ji on the other hand was very... annoyed, and somehow intrigued by this troublemaker who shows up and is an equal to his sword skills. Lwj wouldn't have admitted it but i'm sure he did have the assumption that wwx is lazy and only brings trouble. Turns out this new student is actually very skilled and smart when it's important. Surely that surprised him and piqued his interest.
Boo, no more romantics. Now is death time. But also not?
We get "Lan Zhan gets exposed for his fondness for Weiying". Lxc accidentally explains how Lwj asked him to let the others in, and Lan zhan tries to stop him. Which... wow that must've been embarrassing for him to speak up like that. Weiying is notably excited while Lanhuan reassures him. "So you aren't that grim", the imprint will be noticeable for days if you keep gripping your sword like this, Lanzhan. You're lucky wwx doesn't know you well, but i'm sure your brother noticed that wasn't out of anger.
Tumblr media
Ok, now we're back to the unromantic part again. Our love, Wen Qings first appearance. We'll talk more but i truly love her, love of my life.
There isn't much action yet, but we first get a feeling for the Yin Irons powers.
Let's go back to talking about Lan zhans crush, brought to you by yours truly - Lan Xichen. Ok let's first talk about that weird puppet and our plan. Blahblahblah This will more interesting later. Although i've only now noticed that they mention the death of their father. In the novel he dies when cloud recesses is burned down, and was only in seclusion up to that point. I wonder why they changed this. Back to your crush, lan zhan. "I think this wei kid is actually pretty good :)", *lanzhan aggressively grips his sword again* "don't you think so?". I love Lan xichen so much lmao, as someone with younger siblings i understand.
Tumblr media
Back to action, Xue yang. Bleh. That smile makes me want to slap him so bad... i guess that kinda is the point. We talk more about the great power of the Yin iron, which according to the novel doesn't even exist. You heard me right. It's something added for the live action to replace the necromancy part of wwx. Maybe it was added to make it more tv friendly? i don't know, but it certainly gives some excuse to wwxs later actions.
Tumblr media
Let's see what comes from Weiyings teasing and that plan of the Wens, in Episode 4.
Small observation: I know this person was a side character but i just find it so funny how the lace is sososo visible... he got a close up... please guys TT it's so funny

As the world caves in. (Farlen x reader)
Tumblr media
Synopsis: Farlen is a new member of the Survey Corps and you're attracted to him the second you lay eyes on him.
You'd been talking with Hange about it all night into the morning. The new recruits from the underground. You couldn't help it, when you wanted something you just had to have it no matter what.
"You're telling me he's not cute to you?" You asked as you leaned your back against the table, looking at Hange upside down.
"You always worry about the wrong things." Hange replied, with a strained smile.
"Doesn't matter.." You replied, seeing the group of three entering as you spoke. The three of them really never separated. It annoyed you a little that you couldn't find an opening to get him alone. "I'm gonna talk to them before you do!" You smirked and with that you were up.
"Y/N!!" You heard Hange hiss but the noise was quickly dissipating as you walked further into the crowd.
You slowed your pace a little staring in the opposite direction of Farlen, Isabel and Levi perfectly placing yourself at the right angle. And-
His cup clattered to the floor with a pretty obnoxious thud. You grunted, that wasn't quite what you had in mind..
"Geez, you can't watch where you're going?" He huffed, reaching down to pick up the empty cup.
"Yeah! What's up with you!" Isabel added
You smiled, leaning in a little closer. "Oh.. sorry, I didn't see you there. But now that I'm looking I'm intrigued."
His blue eyes widened and his lips parted staring at you with slightly furrowed brows. "You're.. Farlen aren't you? And you're Isabel and Levi?" You asked even though you knew pretty much everything that Mike and Erwin knew about them.
"Who's asking?" Isabel huffed, crossing her arms.
"I'm Y/N, I've been in the survey corps for almost two years now. I've heard a lot about you guys." You explained "Though I was never made aware of someone so cute joining our ranks."
"Eww." You heard Isabel whisper. Levi just glared, eyebrow slightly raised.
"I-I uh.. Me? You think I'm cute?.." Farlen asked
Now Levi's stare was turning into one of disbelief angled at Farlen. "Hmm." You just hummed as a reply leaning in closer to him. "Uggh I can't believe I ruined your shirt.. and spilled your drink. I'll go get you another one, ok." You remarked and with a little bounce you were walking away to get him a drink replacement.
You managed to find the table where the three of them were sitting easily though as soon as you approached the conversation between them seemed to die off.
"Here you go and listen if you need any help getting the stains out-" You leaned into his ear feeling a spark run through you at the sudden jolt of his body from your presence. "I'm always around."
And with that you circled on your heels, hips swaying right back to your table. You plopped down in front of Hange trying to ignore the roll of her eyes.
"You can't try to get with any of them. You should know that the commander is not gonna be happy about this."
"Aw let him not be happy. The man never smiles anyway."
"Not a shred of life preservation exists in you does it?" Hange laughed
You turned to look over at Farlen your chin resting on your palm. A little shocked that he was already looking at you. You sent him a wink and his skin bloomed pink as he swiveled around. You almost laughed.
"No one in this very room has a shred of life preservation. A wise woman once said, take as you may a sexy man while you're still young and before you get defiled by titans."
"You definitely just made that up." Hange replied, setting aside her book and picking up her cup of water.
~~~~
"Jeez Hange it's so late at night. Aren't you tired?" You asked
Your feet were kicked up onto her desk as you stared down at the notes in front of you. Your yawn was the thing that actually made her look up from the mountain of books stacked in front of her.
"If you're tired take a break."
The chair clattered against the floor as you stood arms outstretched above your head. "I'll be back in a couple minutes." You remarked
Helping Hange so late at night wasn't exactly your favorite thing to do but you did love walking through the empty corridors at this time. Staring out at the deep blue of the night sky with stars dotted over it like a huge tapestry. Air filling your lungs from open windows and the soft flicker of candlelight keeping you company.
Though tonight you heard voices. Slightly inaudible but definitely more than one voice. You slipped around a corner, tilting your head as the sound grew. After a little more walking aimlessly you could fully hear the conversation and each person individually.
You smiled a little when you recognized Farlen's voice on the other side of the door. With zero hesitation you pushed it open. Farlen's eyes immediately widened and his mouth hung open while Levi and Isabel's faces scrunched up.
"What're we talking about?" You giggled playfully
"Don't you ever mind your business!" Isabel huffed, her cheeks puffing cutely.
You smiled at her. "I can't help it.. the gossip around here is amazing."
Before you could completely register his movements Levi was forcing you out of the room, shoving your shoulders back against thick walls. You winced at the sudden pressure and the pain flowing through the back of your neck.
"This has nothing to do with you. You should butt out while you still can."
You blinked at him, his dark eyes honestly intense enough that for a second you did feel a bit intimidated.
"Levi.." Farlen tried
Levi backed up slightly and Farlen stepped forward a little. "How much did you here?"
You giggled looking down at the ground. "What? About your plan to kill Erwin and steal some documents from him?"
"Now can I take her out?!" Isabel huffed but Farlen just pushed her back.
His blue eyes wavered a bit and he stepped a little closer. "How do you know that?"
"Lucky guess.."
"Don't fuck with me."
You sighed in mock defeat. "I didn't hear your conversation. I've known there was something off about you guys since day one but if I wanted to talk I would've already."
"Why would you not rat us out? What possible reason could you have for keeping our secret, you know your precious commander could die and it'll partially be your fault." Farlen said
You rolled your eyes bringing a hand smoothly up Farlen's arm, squeezing his shoulder blade a bit before resting your fingertips against the back of his neck, thumb softly stroking his jawline.
"I wasn't lying when I said I think you're cute Farlen so I couldn’t bare to see anything bad happen to you."
Isabel made a sound like she was gagging and she turned away. Farlen's hand came up to yours gripping it with surprising roughness he pulled it away from his face.
"We have a mission here. You need to stay out of it." He said letting go of your hand.
Levi gave you one last glare before they were all turning but your words made Farlen look back. "You should know at no point will you ever have to trust me. But I doubt anyone you ever meet will come at you with this much intensity completely based on pursuing a relationship." You turned and now Isabel and Levi were watching too. "Hope you succeed." You said 
And with that you were gone. Surprisingly you felt a pang in your chest. You couldn't help the grunt that slipped off your lips into the quiet hallway as you gripped your shirt between your fingertips increasing your pace.
~~~~
By morning the stack of papers on Hange's desk had diminished slightly and honestly you were surprised. The mountain seemed completely unmovable but now you could see Hange's face without having to move your head.
"Ok!" Hange announced causing you to flinch. "We did a sizable amount of work!" She patted your head giving you a light thumbs up.
"Without a lick of sleep." You yawned
"You're off tonight so you can sleep then." Hange retorted, heading to the door.
"What about now??"
"Training starts right now. You head out I have to get these papers to the Commander."
You groaned loudly as you exited the cramped space. Though it felt nice to stretch the noises your back made when you did so were less than nice. You twisted your shoulders first to the left and then to the right as you walked, little details from last night flooding your memory.
It had been nice to not have them for a while. Your thoughts completely bombarded all night with paperwork and Hange's chatter. You didn't mind spending so much time with her, especially since Hange really was the only person in the survey corps you considered a friend.
Though your brain continually played everything over again on a steady loop. Farlen's words echoing off your skull.
We have a mission here. You need to stay out of it.
The same pang returned but slightly duller. You just ignored it. It took a few minutes to get your gear on and as soon as you did you rushed out to the clearing, feeling the wind brush past your face. The feeling soothing in comparison to the hot room you'd been in all night.
It only took a few minutes for you to get to the clearing. Immediately being called to do drills with your odm gear. You ran past Farlen who happened to be standing next to Isabel and this time you didn't say a word.
Two hours had passed and training was starting to slow as people jumped off their horses and sat themselves down to drink. You sat where you always did, on top of one of the fences to watch as everyone talked and sometimes laughed with each other.
"You don't hang out with anyone?" You jumped, hoping it didn't look as dorky as it felt. Farlen stood by your side, his soft blue eyes illuminated by the glaring sun that washed over every inch of territory around here.
"Hey." You replied looking back out towards the captains standing together conversing.
"Can I.. sit?" He pointed awkwardly to the fence by your side.
You nodded, bringing your water back up to your lips. You glanced over at him through the corner of your eye and he shrunk where he sat.
"Didn't know what you were gonna say before you came over here?"
"I don't.." Farlen sighed, playing with his fingers in his lap. "Look.. I.. it's good that you like me. I'm sorry. I've never had a girl or anyone feel this way towards me.."
"What makes you think I still do?" The flicker in his eyes as he looked back up to you made you waver. "Sorry I'm kidding."
He huffed with a playful roll of his eyes, looking back down to his hands. "Isabel and Levi don't want me to hang around you.. or to talk to you at all.."
It was hard not to say all the thoughts currently clouding your mind. Even if you knew you shouldn't say something you normally said it anyway but somehow you managed to suppress the urge.
"I.. I don't really know anything about girls or relationships or anything like that but at the moment I have to focus on my mission and once that's done.. me and Isabel and Levi are gonna leave this place.. I'm sorry."
You leaned closer to him. "What do you think of me?"
"When?"
You giggled, "Now? In general? When we first met?"
He paused staring into your eyes. "Now.. I think you're.. close." You pressed a kiss to his cheek. "In general.. I'm not sure." He continued 
His hair clung messily to his forehead and you couldn't help but brush any stray hairs aside. His entire face seemed to not only flush color but heat as well. His gaze transfixed, not pulling away or moving closer.
"When we first met?"
He gulped, "Beautiful.."
"Hmm?"
"I.. thought you were beautiful."
Your smile was almost shitty as you reached over to his other cheek pressing a slightly longer kiss on it.
"You're not so bad yourself."
"I feel like you're trying to make this difficult." He hummed you were surprised when his forehead came down to rest on yours.
"If there's one thing I've learned from the Survey Corps-" You brushed your knuckles against his, slipping your thumb over the back of his hand. "It's do what you can while you still can."
You squeezed his hand once more separating yourself as Levi and Isabel started to approach. With one last shrug you were off.
~~~~
There was a mission outside the walls tomorrow so you'd gone to bed incredibly early considering your usual track record.
Around what had to be 12 am you were awoken by a couple sharp knocks on the door of your shared room. Your roommate huffed in agitation and you slid out of bed. You wrenched open the door fully intent on letting the person on the other end have it-
"Hey.." Farlen exhaled as if he’d been holding his breath.
"Wh-" You paused rubbing your eye as you looked over at Isabel and Levi their scowls enough evidence that they were here against their will.
"I needed to see you again." Farlen explained
"Well, twelve am is the impromptu time for bringing your friends to someone's room." His face fell and heat rose to your cheeks. "Sorry, I get sarcastic when I'm sleepy."
"You were sleeping this early?" Isabel asked
You shrugged with a soft smile. "I don't have the endurance you guys do."
"She's not like us Isabel." Farlen muttered
"Is that why you like her?" Levi questioned though it sounded more like a statement.
Farlen's face turned probably the brightest red you'd ever seen. "Oh so you do like me?" You said smirk evident. 
"I've.. I said it before.."
"Not in those words." You moved closer and Isabel grunted.
"It's getting gross again.." She remarked "I hope you didn't bring us here to watch you make out with her."
"No! Shut up!"
You hummed. "Shame, though if you'd come alone we could've done a little more than make out." Your fingers played with the top button on his shirt shifting over to the collar, gaze never faltering from Farlen.
"Tell her already." Levi huffed, eyebrows pinching together.
"The mission is tomorrow. After the mission we're.. leaving we'll have succeeded in our mission." Farlen said You tilted your head backing away a bit."We'll be citizens though. Which means maybe.. you could come visit sometime?"
For the first time since you'd met them Isabel and Levi actually looked apologetic.. Isabel more her big eyes soft. Levi's face mostly the same as always though his eyes wavered.
"If you choose to come to us because you wanna visit Farlen, then me and Levi bro will be cool with that. Right Levi bro?"
Levi sighed but didn't say a word. You looked back to Farlen, his features twisted with concern as he took in your expression.
"I hope you'll be happy up here on the surface."
"Wait, what.."
"What kind of life did you want up here Farlen?" Your fingers crept into his hair pushing the strands aside to press a soft kiss to his forehead. Your free hand squeezed his wrist.
"A life where I'd be free with Isabel and Levi."
"And now?"
".. Now I want you too. I wanna see where it could go.."
You rested your head on his shoulder. "Do you think it's possible?"
You felt his chin swiping back and forth against the back of your head and you sighed. "You're right."
With one final squeeze to his chin you tugged yourself away from his warm grasp. "Good night guys." Your door was opening and then closing just as quickly.
~~~~
It hadn't been raining when you guys first set out but by the smell of things you could tell it was gonna get dangerous out here soon.
"Split up in your groups! Don't lose sight of each other!" Erwin shouted over the onslaught of rain.
You could hear distant shouts and some fading gallops as the groups quickly followed orders. People are gonna start dropping fast you thought. You looked straight ahead catching Farlen's gaze as it fell back on you.
Right now the only people surrounding you were Isabel, Farlen and Levi. Gripping the reins on your house you trekked along with them keeping an even pace. The other's from your group had basically vanished and as much as Farlen's eyes boring holes into the back of your neck made you wanna do the same you stuck close.
Fate would do terrible things to those who strayed from the group.
"I'm going to grab the documents. Now while the storm is distracting everyone." You heard Levi yell to Farlen.
"You better not get hurt!"
"You got this Levi bro!" Isabel called in her normal playfully brash way.
Levi huffed and with a final "stay safe" he was speeding off.
"Should he really be going off by himself in a storm like this?" You asked, pulling your horse up next to Isabel.
"Don't worry Y/N, Levi bro is one of the toughest guys to come out of the underground. He'd never be beaten by titans or Erwin."
Farlen turned to look at you, "What if I stayed?"
"Huh? Stayed where?" Water was pouring down the hood of your cape into your eyes but you blinked it away.
"I could stay in the Survey Corps. We could stay in the survey corps!" Farlen announced
Isabel shook her head chaotically. "That wasn't in the plan Farlen!"
"You're not staying in the Corps for me!"
"But-"
"If you have the option of a better life you should definitely take it."
"How will I know which version of life would be better for me? Nothing is completely decided yet and we can still talk to Levi and-"
"ISABEL!" You yanked at your horse’s reins not even slightly prepared for the way you were thrown off. Your horse skidding in the collected mud.
Isabel's scream was silenced almost immediately as a huge titan with long black hair gulped and then regurgitated her head, swallowing down her limps with ease.
"Piece of shit!" Farlen yelled
"Farlen no!"
Farlen landed on the grass with a hard thud. His eyes wide and mouth hung in a wide O. A gasp fell off his lips and you looked to him a shooting pain flooding your right side. You heard his gasp once more eyesight hazy.
"Farlen.." You breathed out suddenly taking in the harsh reality of spreading pain. Blood running cold down your legs. "You're even beautiful now."
“Y/N!”

Chapter Four
Tumblr media
Nora I
Nora was in one of the nicer cells. She didn't like to brag, but she had been arrested often enough to know the difference. And she had the cell to herself, which was new and different. Normally, the Corrie Guard shoved as many beings into each cell as they could manage without crushing anyone.
Soon enough, some of the more violent members of Clone Rights filled the surrounding cells. Even then, Nora's cell remained single-occupancy.
"You gonna get us outta this one, Czajak?" a male Bothan named Esk Meh'reer asked through the transparisteel barrier.
"Of course, Meh'reer," Nora said with a scoff. "We didn't even do anything. This one'll be easier than any of the other times."
"Well, you didn't do anything," Meh'reer told her with a grin. "We may have defaced some property after we saw you get arrested. Nothing too bad, though. Just tore down some signs. Oh, actually, I'm pretty sure Gadi threw a bench."
Nora rolled her eyes at the mention of the exuberant Lasat. "Gadi always throws something. I think she cares more about throwing stuff around than she does about getting rights for clones, but at least she's on our side."
"Hey, our cells share a wall!" Gadi cheered, pushing herself out of the crowd as if she had been summoned. "Want me to see if I can throw this bed?"
"Probably not, Gadi," Nora discouraged. "It'll be a lot harder to fight the charges if we start breaking things inside of the precinct."
"Aw, you'll be able to get us out of it," Gadi told her. "You're the best lawyer on Coruscant!"
Nora chuckled and shook her head, choosing not to tell her fellow protesters that she may not be a lawyer much longer if she kept doing this. Her boss had already threatened to demote her after he had found out about her work. Was it a bad thing that she had a tendency to defend protesters pro bono?
"Nora Czajak," a clone trooper announced, opening the door to Nora's cell. "You're being charged, come with me."
Surprise made Nora slow. The charges were almost never filed this quickly. She had been arrested less than twelve hours ago! Still, the sooner she knew how bad things were going to be, the sooner she could start forming a defense for herself and the others. Gamely, she rose and followed the trooper, admiring his red-accented armor as she went.
When she stepped from the room, cheers erupted from the surrounding cells.
"Go, Nora!"
"Give 'em hell!"
"Pinch that guy's ass while you're in there!"
"Gadi…" Nora sighed to fight back a chuckle. The temptation to laugh grew worse when she turned and found that the trooper had stopped and was staring at her. She couldn't see through his helmet, obviously, but she would have bet that he looked less than thrilled. With her most professional lawyer smile, she said, "Following you, sir."
He shook his head a little bit and kept walking. They passed another red-accented trooper as they walked, and he leaned in a bit to place his helmet's speakers next to Nora's ear. "If you pinch Thorn's shebs, I'll transfer you twenty credits."
"Will that be worth the jail time for harassment, though?" she asked with a conspiratorial grin.
He shrugged. "It would be for me."
"Thire, leave her alone," her escort - presumably Thorn - ordered. "I have to take her to see Stone."
Stone was one of Nora's favorite troopers, and she didn't even need Thorn's guidance to find her way to his office. Thorn gave a polite knock on the door. "Nora Czajak for you, Commander."
"Stone! How are you? Did you redecorate the office?" Nora asked, breezing into the office like it was her own.
Stone blinked at her. "Of course I didn't redecorate. When would I have redecorated? You were here last week."
"That is a difficult point to argue," she conceded.
"I'm sure you'll figure out a way," Stone said dryly. "Thank you, Commander Thorn."
As soon as Thorn had left, Nora crossed her legs comfortably and leaned forward to stare at Stone. "So, what's it going to be this time, Commander? A fine, some jail time..?"
"Neither," Stone told her shortly, crossing his arms over his chest. It would have looked more natural if he weren't in full armor - minus the helmet - but Nora had to admit that there was something intimidating about the dull crack of plastoid meeting plastoid. "Command has decided that fines don't seem to work for you. And every time you spend more than a few days in jail, you come out with more violent followers for your Clone Rights group. Then those followers trash the city even worse in your next demonstration. It's a vicious cycle."
"Mm, such a conundrum," Nora agreed. "What's the solution, Stone?"
"Community service."
Now, it was Nora's turn to blink in confusion. "Community service? My sentence is community service?"
"Yeah, a hundred hours of it," he said, shaking his head a bit.
"And- what about the others? What are they getting sentenced to?"
"Community service," Stone repeated, sounding almost as confused as she was. "All of the demonstrators we arrested are serving time. Not as much as you, but it'll all be community service."
Nora opened her mouth, closed it, and opened it again. "Stone, this is stupid. What is going on? Community service is for parking violations and cursing at shop-keepers. You have us dead to rights on destruction of property, disturbing the peace, and intention to incite a riot. What are you doing?"
"Are you asking for a harsher punishment?" Stone asked with a twinkle in his brown eyes.
"Of course not!" she snapped. "It's just suspicious. Since when does the Coruscant Guard let violations like this slide?"
"Since today," he said with a shrug. "Orders straight from Head Commander Fox himself."
"Head Commander Fox?" Nora asked, distracted by the mention of the clone trooper she had met the previous night. He had been willing to debate her in a cruiser on the way back to the precinct. His method of forming an argument had been clumsy, but his points had been valid. It was a welcome distraction from the unpleasantness of the march's end. And here she was, finding out that Fox was actually the commander in charge of the other commanders. "What was a Head Commander of the GAR doing babysitting a Clone Rights march?"
"Maybe he wanted to come see your model behavior first-hand," Stone told her sarcastically. At Nora's sharp look, he relented. "Fine. Commander Fox doesn't pass duties along. He does everything he asks his men to do. That includes supervising marches, pulling patrols, and booking troublemakers."
Ignoring the pointed implication that she was a troublemaker, Nora changed the subject. "Who is going to be supervising my community service hours?"
"That'll be…" Stone consulted a page in front of him before answering - though how he found a single piece of flimsi in the disaster zone that was his desk was beyond Nora. "Trooper Beam. He's in charge of community service efforts. Poor evaar is gonna have his work cut out for him, supervising your protesters."
"That has to be about seventy people," she argued. "One trooper can't supervise all of us."
"That's his job," Stone said with a shrug.
Nora leaned back, lost in thought. "You know, it would be terrible of me to expect one trooper to supervise all of the arrested Clone Rights members and all one-hundred hours of my own community service. I should really request to be assigned to another Coruscant Guard trooper."
"Who were you thinking?" Stone's voice was filled with wariness.
Nora peered thoughtfully around the room. The morning sunlight didn't even reach this part of Coruscant. Instead, the light from a nearby holo-ad provided the only outside light in the commander's office.
When she felt Stone staring at her impatiently, Nora smirked and answered, "Why, Head Commander Fox, of course."

Fox II
It had been a long night, and it promised to be an even longer day. Fox was already on his second set of stims, and he still had an estimated twenty hours before he could think about collapsing in his quarters.
At that particular moment, he was talking to Sergeant Hound about some woman the sergeant was processing. He was trying, anyway. Fox's attention was far away. Part of him was trying to calculate how long it had been since he had last slept while the rest of him was trying to calculate how long he had until he could sleep again.
"So, what do you think, Commander?" Hound asked, bringing Fox's attention back to him.
"You know I trust you, Hound," Fox told the trooper, patting him on the shoulder. "Do what you think is best."
"Really? Thank you, sir!" Hound said, face brightening.
Briefly wondering what he had just agreed to, Fox turned away and was immediately met with Commander Stone beckoning him over.
"Sir, I need you to come speak with the woman I'm sentencing."
"You know you're the one in charge of sentencing, Commander Stone," Fox reminded.
"I know, sir, but she's requesting that you oversee her community service personally," Stone told him.
Fox's brows lifted before he could stop the expression. "And that is Trooper Beam's area." Honestly, what was the point of dividing the Coruscant Guard into departments if everyone was going to ask him to do their job anyway?
"Yes, sir, but…" Stone sighed, looking more defeated than Fox had ever seen him. "Can you please come tell her that? She won't take my refusal as a proper answer."
Fox shook his head, but started for Stone's office. "Who is this woman?"
"Nora Czajak."
"Kriff, no," Fox refused before he could think better of it.
"You're lucky I'm not easily offended, Head Commander," Czajak said, appearing in the doorway of Stone's office.
"I won't oversee your community service," Fox snapped.
"Maybe you should step inside, Commander," Stone wearily advised. "She has a full argument ready."
Well, he could at least hear her out. Fox entered Stone's office, immediately feeling as though a trap had been sprung when the other commander shut the door - with himself on the outside. Fox cracked the door open enough to peer out. "Stone, aren't you coming?"
"Kriff, no, Commander," Stone denied. "I'm going to get some caf and maybe some alcohol. Good luck."
When Fox turned back around, he found that Nora had seated herself in Stone's chair behind the Commander's desk. Everything was a power game for her. Since he refused to give her the satisfaction of asking her to leave the seat, Fox walked to the transparisteel window beside her. He peered outside, as if an advertisement for nerf steaks was the most interesting thing he had seen all day.
"I still won't oversee your community service," Fox's tone was blunt.
"You look like hell," Czajak's tone was also blunt, and he almost turned to look at her, but caught himself in time. "Don't you sleep?"
Even the mention of sleep was enough to make his eyes burn. "I'm a busy man, Czajak. Too busy for sleep and too busy to supervise community service hours."
"Maybe you should sit down before you fall down, Commander."
He scoffed, still staring out of the window. "I don't need your pity."
A moment later, a hard bump against the back of his knees had Fox falling backward into a chair he vaguely recognized as the one that sat behind Stone's desk. Czajak stepped around him, shaking her head, and sat down in a guest chair. Fox frowned. She had given up a position of power, the implied high ground in this office.
"I think you should be the one to oversee my community service," she started.
"I disagree," Fox countered.
"You are the one who decided that community service was the right answer for members of Clone Rights who were arrested, yes?" He nodded, already searching for the trap in her question. "How is it fair for you to put that much work on your trooper in charge of overseeing it? He didn't ask for so much responsibility."
Why was this woman always fighting to infantilize him and his brothers? "I assure you, Beam is fully capable of withstanding the stress."
"Well, I would hate to put him in such a bad position," Czajak mused. "I probably would feel so guilty that I would skip all my community service appointments."
"Then you'll be arrested for failure to appear."
"And I'll be sentenced to jail time, in which I will gain more followers," she said with a satisfied smile. "That's the fear, correct?"
Kriffing Stone and his running mouth. Fox gritted his teeth. "If you fail to appear for appointments, I will take the appropriate measures to ensure that you pay your debt to society."
"I'm sure you would," Czajak agreed easily. Too easily. "However, would it not be more simple to agree to oversee my community service yourself? We could avoid all of the unpleasantness for the low price of one-hundred hours of your time."
"You couldn't afford that low price," Fox snorted.
Czajak's eyes glinted in amusement. "How about this, then? Your men rave about your leadership and how you never ask them to do anything you wouldn't be willing to do yourself. I know most of your men consider me to be the worst of the worst. I received the highest number of required community service hours. By taking on the responsibility of… well, of me, you would be proving that your willingness to do all aspects of the job is true in every situation."
Fox's head ached as he tried to find a way of refuting her point. It was a solid argument and she knew it from the way she was smiling at him. He suddenly understood why Commander Stone had refused to come to this part of the meeting.
"Fine," he ground out, voice low and harsh. "I'll oversee your community service. I don't know why you're being so insistent about it, but it won't be fun. You'll show up when and where I tell you, and stay as long as I deem fit. And if I hear a single complaint from you, I'll toss you in a cell, new followers be karked. Understood?"
"Perfectly, Commander," Czajak agreed. She was all demure compliance now that she had gotten her way. "Please notify me with the details of our first meeting."
"Consider yourself dismissed," Fox growled at her.
Czajak winked and rose to leave. As she opened the door, Fox heard Chase say, "Ouch! That one pinched me!"
"We talked about this, Gadi!" Nora lectured, leaving Stone's door to close behind her.
Fox rubbed at the lines between his brows. For his own sake, he took a moment to breathe before he had to go deal with whatever that was about.
---
Ransom I
"Okay, the Commander said I was cleared to deal with you as I see fit."
The sentence may have been worded as a threat, but Ransom could sense no malice in the trooper's tone. It didn't matter either way. She had been arrested too many times to count. There was nothing this pleasant-faced officer could do that would frighten her. Well, short of throwing her to his massiff. Even then, she was certain that she would do a great deal of damage before it could take her down.
"Whoa, what's with that face?" he asked, and Ransom immediately smoothed her expression.
"Just waiting for this to be over."
"I also treasure our time together," he smiled, reaching out a hand as if to pat her on the arm. Ransom was a comical distance away, seated on the other side of a wide desk, and she raised one eyebrow in his direction.
"Good news is that I think I've finally located your file," he said, not deterred by her lack of response. He hadn't been all day, actually. Ransom wasn't willing to work with him at all. She believed that he shouldn't need to read through a history of her life to know that the alterations to her cybernetics were illegal and needed to be removed or licensed. Instead, the trooper - who had cheerfully introduced himself several times as Sergeant Hound - had used a biometric scan to track her file.
"Ransom," Hound read from the display. He stared at her for a long moment, dark brows furrowed. "Your name is Ransom?"
"Your name is Hound," she fired back immediately. "Are you sure you want to start this fight?"
"Yeah, but most civvies have a last name."
"Why would I need a last name?" Ransom asked with a frown. "To keep from being confused with all of the other cybernetically-altered Coruscanti women named Ransom?"
"...That's true," Hound conceded. He turned his attention back to the screen and Ransom tensed a bit at what he would find. She braced herself for any number of unpleasant responses. In the past, she had seen everything from pity to awe to disgust, but he simply scanned through the documents - she had a lot of them - and nodded. "Well, you're being charged with disturbing the peace, but that isn't worth jail time or any significant fine. The Head Commander has been on a real community service kick lately, so we'll get you signed up for some of that."
"I'd rather take the jail time," Ransom spat out.
"No you wouldn't," Hound said seriously. "The jail is rough. Full of unsavory characters, terrible food, bad lighting. Plus, your job wouldn't take too kindly to you spending time in jail. None of them ever do. Don't you want to keep working at…" he checked the screen again, "...Red Squad?"
"Red Squad wouldn't fire me for being in jail," Ransom assured him.
"You can't know that for sure," Hound argued. "Trust me, community service is the better way to go."
"I do know for sure, actually," Ransom argued, unsure of why she was pressing the issue.
"Why, you sleeping with the boss or something?" he asked, tossing the datapad to land on the desk's surface.
Ransom smirked a bit at that. "Only in the occasional dry season. I am the boss. Owner, actually. I run Red Squad."
Hound laughed at that, and it was such a rich, cheerful sound that Ransom almost didn't mind that he was laughing at her. Almost.
"Your name is Ransom, no last name, and you own and run a business called 'Red Squad'. Are you secretly a clone trooper?"
"If I ran a squad, wouldn't that mean I outranked you?" Ransom fired back.
"Probably," he said, seeming unconcerned. "It would make you a captain, at least."
"Well, I already have a better-regulation haircut than you," she tried again. She had yet to see a member of the GAR rise to the bait about ranks - particularly the implication that a civilian outranked them - but clone troopers were notoriously fastidious about their appearance.
Hound raked a hand through his too-long hair and grinned at her. "Yeah, it's been a while since I visited the barber. Is my hair distracting you?"
"Hardly," Ransom snorted, pressing away the spark that had lit her belly at his waggling eyebrows.
"Good, then let's talk about your community service," he said. "Normally, you would be in the care of Trooper Beam, but he's recently experienced a flood of requests. I have it on good authority that he has some three thousand hours of community service to oversee after today, so I'll take care of supervising your hours. I'm thinking forty should be more than enough for something as minor as disturbing the peace. Give me your comlink information and I'll contact you for scheduling."
Ransom felt her eyes fly wide before she could bite back the response. "No."
"No?" Hound asked with a pouty sort of frown.
"You're an ARF trooper," she tried again.
Hound beamed warmly at her. "Great job! The average civilian doesn't even know what an ARF trooper is, let alone how to recognize one."
"I'm not an average civilian," Ransom told him, the response flat. "But my point is that you're an ARF. I don't want to do any community service that has to do with massiffs."
His dark eyes softened and warmed with understanding, and Ransom hated it. She didn't want - didn't need - anyone's pity. In her irritation, she lashed out. "So throw me in jail if you want to, bucket head, but I refuse to work with those beasts."
"Hey, I get it," he sympathized, face still kind. Ransom wanted to put her fist through it.
"No, you really don't," she snarled. "I'll-"
"Everything okay in here?" another trooper asked, ducking into the small office.
"Yeah, just chatting," Hound said easily, as if Ransom hadn't been in the middle of threatening him. "What are you up to, Stone?"
"Head Commander's in my office with the Czajak woman," he explained. "I needed to lie low."
"Makes sense to me," Hound gave a sympathetic grimace. "Ransom and I are going over community service options. You're usually in charge of bookings. Care to explain the process?"
"Oh, uh…" Stone hesitated. Ransom would bet that he hadn't expected Hound to actually need help. "We try to match civilians with their skills and interests."
"So you wouldn't force someone to work with an animal they have a strong dislike towards?" Ransom asked sharply, full of skepticism.
"Absolutely not," Stone answered with finality. "And if you mean the massiffs, a lot of civvies are uncomfortable around them. They're not even an option for community service, so there's no worry about that."
"Thank you, Stone!" Hound said, voice cheerful. Looking more than a bit confused, Stone gave a short nod and left. "Feel better?"
"If you knew working with massiffs wasn't an option, why didn't you tell me that?" Ransom crossed her arms over her chest.
"It seemed like you weren't really interested in listening to me," he said with a shrug.
"So you won't need my comlink information after all," she summarized.
"Now, no one said that," Hound hedged. "I can still supervise your community service."
"How?"
"Hey, I do other work around here!" he said, clearly defensive. "I can trade shifts around, pick up some duties cleaning streets or… working with- um, old people..?"
"I think I'll pass," Ransom told him with a snort.
"Suit yourself," Hound shrugged. "In that case, I'll still be the one supervising the licensing process for those cybernetic alterations."
Ransom was ready to argue, but something about the look in his eyes warned that he wouldn't give in so easily. Telling herself she would get a new frequency as soon as she was done registering the alterations, Ransom gave Hound the information he needed. She couldn't leave the precinct soon enough.

A/N - There! A full chapter without one Hound POV! Are you proud of me? I'm proud of me. And with this chapter, we've set up all of our couples! Though I might end up having to make a one-shot or side fic with Stone since I love him. This is also one of the longer chapters of this story, so congrats for getting through it!

Turn for the Better
Someone To Stay Ch. 1
Spencer x fem!reader
Spencer POV:
I open my eyes and glance around the room. It's darker than I remember. I must have fallen asleep reading on the couch again. I glance down and see a pile of books on the rug. Oh yeah...I only made it through about four books this time before I nodded off. I sigh in frustration that I'm awake. Might as well get up I suppose.
I wander into the kitchen and pull open the fridge only to be met with a jar of peanut butter, week old left overs, and a half empty jug of juice. Next.
I try again with the pantry. Almost completely bare. I guess this is what happens when you stop going to the grocery store. I settle on a cup of apple juice and a bag of chips... better than nothing right?
I slump back down onto the couch and pull my green wool blanket over me. As I stare up at my ceiling, as I begin to let my mind wander. But this was dangerous territory. I have to keep my mind occupied, I just have to. So I quickly sit back up and turn the TV to one of my favorite Dr. Who episodes. They say that anxious people re-watch the same shows because they find the familiarity comforting. I could definitely understand the feeling.
It was the weekend, which meant I wasn't called into work. Cases had been slow lately, as we spent quite a bit of time doing paperwork back at the office. Unfortunately for me, this meant less distractions. Distractions were good. Distractions were necessary. They are the only way I make it through the days anymore.
Things had finally returned to normal for me back at work. I was going into the field, and it felt like my coworkers were no longer tiptoeing around me. I hate when they do that, and it bothers me more than any amount of teasing ever could. I'm not so delicate, so easily breakable. Look at everything I have been through, everything I have endured. Yet here I am, still alive, still doing my job. I didn't need to be babied. So it was a relief when I felt the regular rapport I shared with my friends return. They had gone back to the sarcastic remarks and silly nicknames. I was grateful for it. They did, however, continue to check up on me. This was something that I did appreciate. They've seen me go down a dark road once before. I have no intentions of ever returning. I was stronger than that... I think. All I know is I have held on this long without resorting to any unhealthy coping mechanisms.
Coping mechanisms...oh how I wish I had something to make the healing process easier. Having a fairly empty social calendar left me alone often. Normally I would find comfort in the peace and quiet of my solitary apartment, but not quite so much lately. I couldn't very well make plans to go out, and I wouldn't even know how to begin to do that. Who would want to hang out with me right now anyways? I'd be a damper on the fun, and everyone knows it. That's probably why my friends stopped inviting me to the nights at the bar.
There I go again, letting my mind slip into a dark hole of anxiety. Its not a safe place to be. I quickly turn my attention back to the show in front of me, letting it drown out all other thoughts.
The ring of my phone quickly draws my attention away. Finally...another case! I jump up to answer, seeing the name on my screen: Derek Morgan. That's odd. Usually Hotch or Garcia call to notify us of a new case.
"Hello?" I answer, confusion lacing my voice.
"Pretty Boy! Buzz me up!"
Well now I'm even more confused. Derek never comes to my apartment. I quickly press the button letting him into the building and opening my apartment door, waiting for him to arrive.
As he comes up the stairs, he gives me a grin shouting, "Come on man! Get dressed. We're goin' out!"
I roll my eyes and retreat back into the apartment, Derek close behind me.
I sink back onto the couch, my eyes glued to the television as I tune him out.
"Aw c'mon. Don't be like that. How long have you been sitting there watching TV? Have you done anything else today, at all?"
I don't answer, I don't even look at him.
"Oh, let me guess. You've been reading all day, huh?"
"Wow, can't get anything past you huh?" I say dryly, regretting my tone as soon as the words left my mouth.
"Alright that it. You've been cooped up in here too long. Like I said before, we're going out. And I'm not taking no for an answer" he says sternly, raising an eyebrow at me.
I finally look up at him as I roll my eyes.
"You know I can kick your ass right?" Derek smirks.
"Fine" I concede. "Well...where are we going? I don't know what to wear unless you tell me what our plans are."
"Don't pretend you don't wear the same fancy button ups no matter where you end up going."
I let out a small laugh...he's got me there.
"Dinner at Rossi's. I know pretty boys are high maintenance but, hurry up or you'll make us late!" I smile at the nickname. Same old Derek.
Y/N POV:
You let out a sigh of relief as you watched your coworker approach you, ready to receive report. It had been a particularly busy shift, and you were ready to get some much-needed rest. You walked to each patient room, giving Clementine summary of the day and the latest updates on labs and vital signs. You stepped into each room with her, checking one last time to make sure each of your patients was doing well and didn't need anything else before you left. Normally you and Clem would spend some time catching up and making jokes, but she could tell you were tired and needed to be home more than anything. You wished her good luck on her shift as you made your way to the break room. After putting away your stethoscope and the large collection of pens, pencils, and markers you kept in your pockets, you finally headed towards the elevator to leave for the day.
You opened the door to your apartment to be greeted by your dog, Juneau. She was a rescue you adopted a few months back. She still needed to make progress, but she had really warmed up to you and your friends and seemed much more comfortable in her new home. After feeding her dinner and taking her for a short walk, you heated up a quick frozen dinner and sunk into your couch.  Curling up in your blanket, you spent a few minutes browsing through different streaming services only to land on The Office, as usual.  Your mind drifts to what your next few days might consist off. You just so happened to land 4 days off in a row, but you had no idea how you would spend your time. You glanced down at your phone as it lit up.  It was your Uncle Will.
"Hey, whats up!" you chimed, glad to hear from your favorite uncle.
"Hey, (Y/N). I'm actually calling to invite you to a dinner some friends of mine are having tomorrow night. I know your schedule is real busy. But I haven't seen you much since you moved up here to Virginia! I know you haven't met many people here yet, but I think I can help you make a start. "
The kind gesture made you smile. You had always been fairly close with your father's side of the family. He had grown up in Louisiana and met your mother at a college in Texas. You spent your childhood in Houston but frequently visited the Cajun half of your family. Uncle Will had moved away once he fell in love with Jenifer Jareau, his now wife, and you hadn't seem much of him the past few years. But as luck would have it, your nursing career had lead you to a hospital in Fredericksburg, VA. You felt extremely lucky to have family nearby, or else you would have been completely alone. But sometimes you still felt that way, which is why you were so grateful for his offer.
"That actually sounds great! I am off for the next four days, and I didn't really have anything planned. Who will I be meeting at this dinner?"
"Well it's some of JJ's coworkers. They're like a second family to us, and I know they'll be just as welcoming to you. I already told them you moved up here, and they've been begging to meet you."
"Aww I can't wait to see Aunt JJ and my sweet little cousin, Henry! Its been so long since I came to visit you guys. I think Henry was barely two years old the last time I saw him."
"Well we all hope to see you a lot more now that you're here. You're like a daughter to us, Y/N. You are welcome to visit any time you like. I know nursing is a stressful job, and it can take a toll. Its important to have family and friends around you when things get tough." You could hear that this was a genuine offer and you fully planned to take him up on it in the future. Being alone in a new state was taking its toll.
"So where and when should I plan to meet for dinner?"
"I'll text you the address real quick. Everyone is planning to meet around 6. It shouldn't be too far of a drive. It's one of JJ's coworker's houses. David Rossi. He's a real easygoing guy, and he loves cooking for everyone. He loves meeting new people even more, so you should feel right at home!"
"Sounds like a fun time. Thank you again for thinking to invite me. I'm really looking forward to it!"
"Alright boo, talk to you later."
You smiled at the pet name used by the entire Louisiana side of your family. I guess the north had yet to steal his southern roots. You hung up the phone. You finally had plans. It would be nice to talk to someone who wasn't a coworker.  It would also be your first excuse to dress up since moving and starting your new job. Too excited to wait, you jumped up from the couch and began to rifle through your closet for something to wear. You didn't want to be too over or underdressed. You grabbed a black spaghetti strap fit and flare dress and throw it on with some black panty hose, a lightweight maroon cardigan, and some black heels. You snapped a quick photo in the mirror and shoot a text to Aunt JJ.
Y/N: Apparently I'm joining y'all for dinner tomorrow night...is this too much???
Aunt JJ: I heard! I can't wait!
And oh my goodness, no! You look gorgeous! It will be perfect.
Also...Henry is so excited to see you!
You smiled, more confident in your choice. Aunt JJ had great taste. You had only had the chance to meet her in person a couple times, but the two of you had clicked right away and stayed in touch over text and Facetime. Sometimes she felt more like the sister you never had.
Starting to feel the effects of your particularly difficult shift, you start to get ready for bed. You wanted to be well rested for tomorrow. You say goodnight to Juneau and crawl into bed, snuggled under all the blankets. You fall asleep with a smile on your face, with the feeling that things in your life are about to take a turn for the better. You couldn't explain it...but somehow you just knew.

Fictober/Fantober 2020 -
Day 11 - Moving In
Tumblr media
Sorry for not updating. I created a really good story for "Road Trip" and "Enchanted Forest" together, but it will be a longer story, so I'll postpone it until later🙂 "It's nothing much compared to our apartment in New York.", Eiji said quietly, opening the door to their new apartment. While he had been treated at a hospital in New York, Eiji had looked for an apartment in Izumo for them. Which hadn't been easy from New York but with Ibe and his family's help, Eiji had finally found one. According to Eiji, it was small, but it was close to his family's home and college. After Eiji had unlocked the door, Ash peeked inside, then entered the apartment and looked around. He instantly liked it. It was small but modern and bright. It didn't have any furniture except for the kitchen that had come fully equipped. They had been lucky to buy it from the previous owner. In total, their apartment had a big living room, two smaller rooms for each of them, the kitchen as mentioned earlier, and one of those Japanese bathrooms he had read about. The living room also had a little balcony directed to the south so that they could enjoy the sun for hours there. He assumed that he wouldn't get shot here. Probably. "Eiji, it's perfect. I love it. It will look really nice once we've settled in." Ash smiled at Eiji, and he returned his smile, obviously relieved that Ash liked it. "I hope so.", Eiji said while looking around the rooms himself. He had only seen photos of it himself, after all. Ash stood behind him, then put an arm around him. "Thank you for all your hard work. Renting an apartment in Izumo while still in New York probably wasn't easy. Sorry that I wasn't able to help you with that." Ash had a guilty conscience because he had done absolutely nothing to help Eiji. "It's fine, Ash.", Eiji assured him. "You needed to rest after such a serious injury. And I haven't done much. My mom and Ibe helped me a lot.", Eiji replied, playing it down instantly. Ash smiled knowingly at him. Sure, his mom and Ibe had probably helped with the paperwork, but Eiji had probably done most of the work, looking for apartments and contacting the landlords and making appointments his mom could go to. Knowing Eiji, he had probably chosen their apartment with great care, knowing perfectly well that Ash had never had a real home, a place where he could relax and be himself. First and foremost, Eiji wanted to create a home, especially for him. A safe haven and a cozy place where he felt protected and comfortable. But playing it down was so like Eiji that Ash couldn't help but smile. "Eiji, you know I don't need a luxury apartment like the one we had in New York. The one in New York had always felt weird to me. I never felt comfortable there; it looked more like a museum than anything else. I felt like a stranger in my own apartment. I like this one much better. It looks bright, comfortable and cozy. And it will even look better when you have decorated it with some of your photos. And turned your room into a little photo studio." "And when you've created a library in your room for all the books, you'll most likely buy.", Eiji added, grinning. "So, which one of the rooms is mine?" _______________________ Ash woke up when the sun rays hit his face. He sat up and looked around in confusion but relaxed again when he saw Eiji next to him. He lay on the makeshift bed on his stomach and was busy making a list while Ash had still been sleeping next to him. "Hey, Ash. You're awake. Welcome to your new life in Izumo." He smiled happily at him before removing some strands from his face. "I'm making a list of things to buy for our apartment.", Eiji explained patiently while he slowly woke up. "Today, we can buy the most important things. I asked my mom for her car. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but I look forward to furnishing and decorating the apartment with you, Ash!" Eiji beamed at him with shining eyes. Ash lived for that innocent look in his eyes and his wide and honest smile.
Ash lived for that innocent look in his eyes and his wide and honest smile. Eiji could find joy in the simplest things. It was the one thing that Ash admired about him. Maybe one day, he could enjoy life as easily as he did as well. He really hoped so. In the morning, Eiji made a list of things they needed for the kitchen and all the other rooms: smaller furniture like lamps or chairs, cleaning products and a broom as well as a vacuum cleaner. And a ladder and a toolbox. Their top priority was a coffee machine, though. Meanwhile, Ash had measured all of the rooms and had written down all the details on a sheet of paper. Then they discussed which furniture they needed and how to arrange it best in their small apartment. That's a lot to buy." Eiji sighed dramatically but couldn't hide his excitement. "We probably need a whole week for that. It's a good thing we have enough free time at the moment. But that won't be cheap." A deep frown appeared on his forehead while he contemplated how they could afford all of that. "Don't worry about it, Eiji. I'll pay for it. I still have enough money left from my gang leader days. It always hid some money on the side in case of emergencies. That should be enough for all the furniture." "You can't pay for all of it. That's unfair!", Eiji exclaimed stubbornly while his burning brown eyes bored into his. "Eiji, please accept it, ok? It's my way to thank you for saving my life and convincing me to go to Japan with you.", Ash pleaded with him. Then he grinned at him, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "You can pay me back when you're a famous photographer." Eiji still had that stubborn look on his face, but then his features softened, and he quietly nodded. "Fine, I'll accept your offer, but I'll pay you back later." ______________________ After spending several days in DIY stores and furniture stores, their new apartment looked pretty good. Ash had put up most of the furniture himself or with Eiji's help. Eiji's most outstanding talent didn't lie in reading construction manuals and following them; that was for sure. So, while Ash had put up the big furniture like their beds, the wardrobe and the shelves for their living room, Eiji had done the same with their desks and chairs. Eiji had also installed all the lamps, had cleaned their apartment, and put away all their equipment for their kitchen. He also established the coffee machine and the rice cooker. When he was finished, he had helped Ash finish putting up the shelf for their living room. The only thing that their apartment lacked was a couch that would only arrive in the next few days. Then, their apartment would be perfect. Eiji had also framed a few of his pictures and had hung it on several of the walls. Ash loved looking at them. They were bright and cheerful, and reflected the innocent and pure way he saw the world. Eiji had a good eye for detail, and his photos reminded him daily that photos could also be beautiful and create or freeze perfect, unforgettable memories forever. By the time they finished, their clothes were dirty; their faces were smeared with dirt, and droplets of sweat were running down their faces. Still, despite all the effort and the hard work he had done these last few days, Ash had never enjoyed himself more. He loved furnishing their apartment because it felt normal. This was the ordinary life he had always dreamed of. It felt great. And he loved watching Eiji walking around their apartment in deep concentration. He always got that cute frown on his face when he did that. He also loved how Eiji was humming to himself, smiling all the time. Somehow his smile had become even warmer since he was in Japan. Maybe because he was back in his hometown or perhaps because he knew they were safe now. Eiji was enjoying himself, too. It was visible in the happy glow in his eyes that made them shine a golden brown and in his posture, his good mood. And, Ash had to admit, Eiji looked really cute when all sweaty and dirty. That was a part of him he hadn't seen yet

Summary: After being pulled out of hell Dean realizes quickly that the four months he had been gone made way for a lot of changes in the lives of everyone he knows, including the life he had known for himself before he died. Nobody was treating him the same, and there was seriously something going on with his brother that he could not figure out. He was spending most of his time alone nowadays, not really hunting anymore since Bobby and Sam were against it for him, and spending most of his time drinking instead to try and forget. He was angry, pretty much all the time. That anger really worked in his favour though when walking back to the impala he came across a freaking hoard of demons getting ready to attack some blond chick. He didn't know who she was or what the hell all the demons wanted with her, but there was no way he could just walk away. Maybe if he had any idea what trying to save this person was going to lead too he would have just walked away, maybe if he had actually given any thought to the situation before him he wouldn't have put himself in the middle of it, but even before hell he made impulsive and rash decisions... so maybe not.

Chapter Two: Welcome to the Batcave
Part Two
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Izzy watched the other actually curious for a moment to see if he would finally catch what he said. Aaaand, there it was! He had to give the hunter some props, he was taking the fact that he mistaked Izzy for a girl better than he could remember anyone else had. Demons especially hated him for it. Not for the same reasons that humans seemed too, most demons really didn't care what your fucking gender was as they body hopped so often, what they didn't like was that someone so small, sweet, and innocent looking was actually a deadly assassin sent by a prince of hell. And worse, he was good at it. Izzy looked away from him again and back at the book he was holding when Dean started to talk, crossing one leg over the other as he started to look through the book. "If the idiots would just abandon their stupid plans of trying to break Lucifer from the cage I would just leave them alone," Izzy muttered as most of his attention was back to the book in his hands, not realizing he even said it out loud or knowing if Dean had heard about what this specific group of hellions were planning. "I wouldn't count too much on actually finding one, I've only ever found info on one and I can't find that fucker for the life of me. I've never not found a mark before him, it was actually really frustrating…" he said, talking more naturally and easily than he had before with most of his attention focused on something else. He could feel his heart racing as he read through the pages. The first few were just about Cain. How he had become a demon. That was actually interesting even if none of what he was learning would help him track the mother fucker. Cain was the only demon specifically named though. After the chapter on him, the book went on to explain how because of him it had become possible for a human to turn. And what had to happen to said human for something like that to happen and Izzy found that for the first time that he could remember, he was grateful for something. He was really fucking grateful that he couldn't remember being human. Because this shit sucked. 
Dean relaxed his shoulders when the other didn’t point out how obviously awkward his mistake was. It must have happened quite a bit and it was obvious as to why. Though he didn’t dwell on it for too long after catching Izzy mutter under his breath. So Izzy knew about Lucifer and over half of Hell’s plans to free him. Not too many hunters really knew what was going on, just that demons had been kicking up a shit storm lately. He crossed his arms over his chest as he leaned against the table Izzy was sitting on. He raised a brow when Izzy said he’d only found one and he couldn’t track him. “A mark?” He asked, not following him. “Do you think they could make more demons like that? I have a feeling they’d be a bitch in a fight.”
"Not a mark, my marks. Whatever demon I'm hunting at the time," Dean really did get kind of lucky that Izzy had found this book if he wanted to ask questions. The lithe demon was only half paying attention to whatever he was saying, basically only enough to make sure he didn't let the fact that he was one of these demons slip out. "Though he does actually have a mark that turned him in the first place. Didn't know that." Izzy nodded without hesitation at the other males next question though, "Definitely. Seriously time consuming and difficult, but not impossible. Looks like when it does happen, it's usually an accident. And they are definitely totally awesome in a fight. Stronger than a knight of hell but not quite as strong as a prince. And not easy to kill. Our knives won't kill one of them." The book didn't actually tell him that last part, he knew it from experience back when Asmodues was first training him. He had kinda lost his temper at the pretty little blond and actually fucking stabbed him with the same knife he now had hidden in his boot. All it did to the blond was piss him off though. It ruined the dress he was wearing and had left a nasty little scar in his side where he had been stabbed. "So unless you’re Cain with his first blade or have that Colt and bullets that you killed Azazel with, or yanno, a crazy person like me, I would avoid looking for one of them." He took in a deep breath as he slammed the book shut, trying to not let it be seen how incredibly fucking furious he was right now. Well, at least he knew why Asmodues was so keen on him not knowing how he turned. "So uh, yeah. Thanks for the info. Great fucking room ya got here. But I gotta go find a certain prince and tear his fucking head off somehow," Izzy said, his voice showing he obviously was not happy with what he just read if his words didn't give that part away. He was caring less and less about whatever fucking cover he was supposed to be playing here. He couldn't fully remember right now what he had let on that he knew about the man in the room with him but he no longer really cared. He pushed himself down from the table and went to move past Dean, "Nice to meet ya and all that shit and like, thanks for the help…" he paused for a moment to look at the hunter again, fuck it. Dean gave him access to the information he so desperately wanted, he figured he could return the favour with some info that Dean probably actually needed, "By the way, you really should probably get your brother away from Ruby because bitch has him all fucked up, pretty sure that people shouldn't actually be drinking demon blood the way he is. Pretty fucked up. So yeah. Gotta go." 
“Oh they sound great,” Dean said when Izzy confirmed that more could be made this way. “Oh yea, awesome,” He shot back when Izzy went on about them and described them that way and mentioned that the knives were worthless against them. The only good thing that was mentioned was that apparently they were only ever made on accident and there were no rumored army’s full of them. He had noticed the others snapping of the book and the anger rolling off of him, clearly having read something he didn’t like. “Oh yea that sounds like a feasible plan, how do you plan on getting in Hel-?” He was cut off by the other male thanking him for the help. “Wait.” He said, not wanting the other to run off and get killed while half cocked. He didn’t get a chance to say anything else because what Izzy said after that shut him right up. “Wait, what the hell are you talking about?” He asked, his voice showing his own rising anger. “And how the hell do you know who he’s with?” He asked him. This ment Izzy knew who they were before he ran into him tonight. He started reaching for his pistol in a back holster without thinking much about it. “Who are you?” He asked, taking a step back and raising the fire arm.
Izzy rolled his eyes as Dean called after him when he turned and started to walk to the bunkers exit. If he did leave here right now, he really would go straight to the youngest prince and try and kill the fucker somehow. "Oh come on Dean, you're pretty and reckless but I didn't peg you for being stupid. I hunt demons. Ruby is a fucking demon. And your brother is running around with her. Do I really need to connect all the dots for you?" He stopped for a moment when he heard the click of the firearm and rolled his eyes again. Really? First time he ever tried to actually help someone else out and they pulled a gun on him. Not that Dean's pistol would actually hurt him, but he had been serious when he mentioned he liked this jacket. He didn't feel like throwing it out because of a bullet hole after he managed to actually keep it through the ambush.
He turned around and crossed his arms over his chest. "I was after her. I really can't fucking stand her. Unfortunately for me, your junkie brother was in the way and I couldn't get close enough without having to kill him first, and since I don't kill humans that wasn't exactly an option." He waved his hand at the pistole pointed at him, looking more annoyed that Dean was pointing it at him than anything else, "But I swear to fuck if you pull that trigger that'll change real fucking fast as I will slit your fucking throat." He wasn't reaching for the knife though, he wasn't scared of the gun and wouldn't pull it unless Dean actually did attack him first. After all, he didn't know the bullet wouldn't hurt him, he would definitely be trying to kill him and Izzy didn't take well to that happening. Threats were usually whatever, a dime a dozen when you did what he did, but actually trying to do it was another thing completely. "Now do you wanna play this game with me too or do you mind if I go now?"
Dean narrowed his eyes when Izzy said he hunted demons. He didn’t say anything for a minute after Izzy said all that and threatened retaliation by cutting his throat. His jaw was tense but he eased the hammer back and lowered his gun. He didn’t like anything he had said. He just knew Izzy was keeping something from him but… he was telling the truth about his brother and Dean hated it. He kept his hard eyes on the blond as he put his gun back in his holster and he pulled out a small piece of paper from his back pocket and grabbed a forgotten pen on the table. He didn't say anything as he quickly jotted something down, folded it and handed it to him. “In case you do something stupid like take on a prince of hell and want back up,” he said, his voice was quiet and calm. His reboiling rage wasn’t aimed at the blond any more so he tried to keep it from exploding on him. He had seen what he could do with that knife of his.
The anger at the hunter seemed to dissipate when he withdrew his weapon and put it back in the holster. Smart move, because the little demon had been deadly fucking serious about retaliation if he tried to shoot him. When Dean handed him that paper and said that, Izzy couldn't stop the confused look that crossed his face. Seriously? We both just threatened to kill the other and Dean was offering to back him up again a second later? What the fuck went on in human fucking heads? He really didn't understand them at all. Especially this one. And this happened to be the first one he spent any length of time with. "Right. Not gonna happen, but thanks? The backup thing. The prince thing is totally happening." After nearly sixty years around Asmodeus, Izzy didn't hold any fear of him. The prince needed Izzy and they both knew it. Besides, that was a long time to spend with anyone, and since the prince had wanted Izzy a secret until he was ready he had been the one Izzy trained with most often before he started throwing demon chum his way to practice with. Izzy knew that mans every fucking move.

the meaning of love
Tumblr media
| part one | x | part three | part four |
you felt weird, like really weird. the ride back home with jaemin was weird. the both of you barely spoke and he looked as if he was so done with everything. it felt as if he didn't want anything to do with you either.
i mean, he could have just rejected me, you thought, why go through all the trouble?
you decided to not think about it anymore. the run in with the dreamies were too weird, and it was probably the first and last time you will ever interact with them. at least you hoped it was.
just as you were about to leave the house, your mother called out to you, "i don't see wonwoo anymore. did you have a fight with him?"
you rolled your eyes, "no, i didn't. there's rumours that he's dating someone now. i don't know who's the lucky girl though."
"y/n doesn't need any man! she has me," your little brother ran to hug you, with his arms wide open.
"that's right, my little prince! i only need you," you kissed him on the cheek as you carried him up.
"what about me, princess?" your father coughed from behind the newspaper, "i'm practically the first man you love."
both you and your mother looked at each other and laughed, "well, someone's craving for some love."
"i'm going now. bye!" you shouted as you put your shoes on.
--
the rumours of wonwoo having a girlfriend was spreading like wildfire in school. no matter where you went; canteen, garden or even the toilet; you will keep hearing about it.
you sighed. your heart was hurting after all, and the fact that everyone was talking about it, made it worse. it was as if you were invisible, like you weren't the one who's been next to him all these while. everyone dismissed your existence now that wonwoo has a girlfriend.
break came, and when it was break, wonwoo would usually find you to eat together. ever since the rumour had spread, he no longer finds you anymore. so, you secluded yourself in the music room at the end of the hallway.
you entered the music room, finding solace in the silence as you sat down in front of the piano. wonwoo and you would usually hang in the music room from time to time, just catching up or even talking about random topics.
the music room was also one of the reasons why you fell for him. because when two people spend so much time together, they're bound to be alike. that was what happened to you and wonwoo, the both of you were inseparable.
remember when you told me you liked the colour green? you smiled to yourself, remember when you told me you wanted to write?
remember you told me you wouldn't leave me? your smiled faltered, remember you told me you loved me?
"it was probably as friends, though," you sighed.
"as friends? what is?" a voice boomed from behind you.
you jumped in shock, "oh god, make a noise! you nearly killed me!"
"you're exaggerating," you could sense the sarcasm in his tone.
you turned around to give the boy a piece of your mind, but you didn't expect it to be him, out of all people.
"jaemin?" you squealed.
"cat got your tongue?" he raised his brows.
before you could even say anything, the rest of the dreamies entered the room.
"y/n is here!" chenle shouted excitedly.
"luck is not on my side today," you huffed.
"what do you mean by that? we're the best you've got!" donghyuck snapped in fingers.
"i suddenly don't feel so good," you joked as you grabbed your unfinished lunch, trying to get away.
"she just called you thanos!" jisung laughed really hard, slapping mark's and jeno's arms.
"jisung!" both of them shouted in unison.
you were just about to escape the chaotic scene until someone closed the door shut from behind you.
"going somewhere?" jaemin voiced out.
you turned around, his tall figure hovering above you, "yes, i'm trying to get away."
"why!?" chenle questions you, very loud.
"i mean, aren't i intruding? seems like the music room is your hangout place," you shrugged.
"y/n... come sit with us. like chenle said yesterday, you're always welcome to hang with us," mark softens.
"why is mark so soft towards y/n? suspicious," donghyuck scratches his chin.
"yucks, i can't get used to mark being soft," jeno chides in.
"mark, i didn't know you had a crush on me," you cooed.
"oh god, y/n! stop teasing me so much. you always do that during our committee meetings!" he shrieked, "not here too, please."
you laughed, "i'll try."
the moment you looked up, your eyes made contact with jaemin's. you didn't realise how pretty he looked up close, almost too sinful to be that beautiful. you blushed momentarily and looked away, walking to take a seat to finish your lunch.
as you sat down, jaemin plopped next to you immediately after that. you looked around to see that there were a few other seats available, but didn't really heed much attention.
"so, y/n! do you like games?" renjun started the conversation.
"mobile games? not so. arcade games? hell yeah," you grew excited the moment you mentioned arcade.
jeno placed a hand on his heart, acting offended. you just laughed and stuck your tongue out as a joke.
"let's go to the arcade after school, then!" chenle suggested.
"that's very impromptu though," you widen your eyes.
"you don't like it?" renjun asked.
"hell no, i love it! let's go! i'm so excited!" you danced a little, out of excitement.
the rest of the dreamies laughed, except for jaemin. he tried stifling his smile, because he found you really cute and all he wanted was to squish your cheeks. not that you know anything though.
--
you were just fidgeting in class, and knowing that you're gonna go to the arcade right after that you couldn't control the excitement.
"ms y/n. i will have you know that my class hasn't ended yet," the teacher voiced out.
the bell rang right after that, signalling the end of class.
"well, it has now," you winked at the teacher.
you spranced out the door to get some of the things out of the locker that was needed for the weekend.
"arcade! let's get it," you whispered to yourself.
just as you closed your locker, someone called out to you. you turned around to see who it was and it was none other than, jeon wonwoo. right next to him was a girl, whom you assume to be his girlfriend.
"y/n!" wonwoo greeted you excitedly.
"oh, hey!" you forced a smiled.
"i know i've been missing in action a lot and i know you've probably heard the rumours and i'm super sorry for the late introduction!" he clasped his hands together, hoping you'd forgive him, "her name's aera, and she's my girlfriend!"
and those assumptions were correct.
"finally, jeon wonwoo! i've been dying to know who's the lucky girl!" you took his hands and jumped around gleefully, while your heart literally broke into a million pieces yet again.
"i wanted you to be the first one to know and i'm sorry for keeping this from you. you're my best friend," wonwoo smiled.
you're my best friend, he said.
"o-of course! you're my best friend too," you repeated to assure him but it somehow left a bitter taste in your mouth.
"let's catch up soon, y/n!" wonwoo waved goodbye.
looking at their silhoutte fading away, your tears threatened to fall any minute. i thought i told you to suck it up, you said to yourself again, suck it up!
he isn't worth any tears, you tried brainwashing yourself again, but the tears fell anyway.
you ran to the music room. you didn't care if anyone saw you or judged you, but you kept running. you just needed to be alone.
the moment you slammed the door open, you were face-to-face with 7 familiar faces.
"y/n?" chenle whispered.
"oh my god, what happened?" donghyuck tried to come closer.
you stepped back, shock evident on everyone's faces, including yours.
"i-i have to go, i'm sorry," you ran away.
"y/n!" you heard jaemin calling out to you.
you ran till you reach the one place with no memories of wonwoo and you together; dream book cafe.
with a heavy breathing, you tried to make yourself comfortable at the restricted section that was located at the end of the room. you hated that you cried easily, and the fact that you've fallen deeply in love with your best friend.
everyone said don't ever fall for your best friend, and you could see why now. there wasn't any guarantee that he/she will love you back. you only realised that now, which sucks.
"y/n?" a voice call out to you.
you immediately looked up and widen your eyes, "h-how did you know i was here?"
"i live around here remember? and you mentioned this cafe once before," jaemin sighed.
he came closer and sat right next to you, "wanna tell me what happened?"
"n-no," you stuttered.
"really?" he asked once again.
you hiccup, "n-no."
jaemin chuckled, "come here."
he placed his hand over you, making you lean onto his broad shoulder.
"are you comfortable?" he peered into your face, making sure that you're okay.
you nodded, "very comfortable, thanks to you."
jaemin chuckled once again, "so, do you wanna tell me why you were crying?"
you waited and contemplated for a little while, wondering if you should opened up to jaemin. i mean, he was actually the one who didn't talk to you, but also, what's the harm in letting him know.
you breathed in, wondering how to start, "um, well.. i like someone, and he turns out to be my best friend."
you looked at jaemin, and he was staring back at you, listening to every word you were saying.
"maybe it's more than just a like. maybe it's love, but i don't know. we've spent every day together and doing things together and that made me grown to like him so much, so the thought of us being together most of the time was never really weird. i thought maybe we had a chance together, until i saw his girlfriend."
you paused again, and you felt jaemin hugging you tighter.
"his girlfriend was so pretty and they really look compatible together. maybe, it was just me, being my delusional self, you know. wonwoo deserved way better and i can never match up to him, i would never. i was never meant to be loved by him but i wanted him to love me badly."
"you're fine the way you are, y/n. my words probably won't be of any comfort but, believe me when i say you deserve just as much love as wonwoo. maybe even more. the love you give to people is the love you're definitely gonna get back. wonwoo's girlfriend is pretty, you say? i think you're even more stunning and charming than anyone i've met."
you didn't dare to look up to meet his eyes. you didn't want him to see you've became a mess, a blushing mess. it wasn't even a confession, you know it, but it drove you mad, a wreck.
from then on, you knew things will never be the same.

Colter - Enter, Pursued by a Memory (2)
Tumblr media
"Goddamn, this cold!" Arthur groaned as he entered the morning freeze, using the sole of his boot to light the match for his cigarette, taking a long and slow puff of the tobacco as if his life depended on it. He forced himself to walk through the snow, mentally preparing himself to feel the cold wind cling to his skin through his clothing.
He rushed into the main cabin, seeing Missus Adler struggling to stay warm while she kept her distance from everybody else while Abigail Roberts, Tilly Jackson, and Mary-Beth Gaskill were surrounding the hearth for warmth. "Hello, Arthur," Abigail started as Arthur chucked a fresh log into the small fire.
"Abigail." He replied gruffly, holding his palms to the fire.
"Arthur...how you doing?" She said nervously as she approached him. He looked at her nervously, taking her in. He had always scolded himself for not marrying her when he had the chance, but he knew that wasn't how things were supposed to be. He cared deeply for her and young Jack, but in a way, he still loved her from when she had been friendly with not only him, but almost every man in the gang at one point.
He gulped as he held those memories at bay, where they needed to be, "Just fine, Abigail, and you?"
"I need you to...I-I'm sorry, I'm sorry to ask but..." She stuttered.
"It's little John...He's got himself into a scrape again." Arthur replied with annoyance and a bit of jealousy coating his voice. He brushed her off as he continued to find warmth from the fire.
"He ain't been seen in two...two days!" Abigail protested.
"Your John'll be fine," Arthur said, opening his arms at her. He hated arguing with her, but she needed to hear it. "I mean, he may be as dumb as rocks and as dull as rusted iron but that ain't changin' because he got caught in some snowstorm!" He argued.
"At least go take a look," Hosea intervened as he closed the book he was reading to young Jack. "Javier?"
"Yes?" Javier Escuella replied, looking up from cleaning his gun.
"Javier, will you ride out with Arthur and take a look for John?" Hosea asked. "You're the two best-fit men we've got."
"Now?" Javier questioned, exhaling a puff of smoke from his cigarette.
"She's...we're all...we're pretty worried about him." Hosea continued, taking note at the look of jealousy on Arthur's face as well as a bit of concern eating at him.
Hosea had played a major role in Arthur's life in the earlier years, seeing Arthur as a son to him. He could tell when things were bothering him or when he was keeping something to himself. Hosea knew Arthur and Abigail had a brief romantic history and that Arthur at some point thought that young Jack was his son, but he couldn't stop Abigail from falling in love with John Marston, who was his fellow brother, but also his competition.
"I know if the situation were reversed, he'd look for me." Javier said as he handed Arthur his sewed-off shotgun. Arthur nodded as he took the gun before turning on his heels, pushing out Abigail's 'thank you's out of his head as he walked through the doorway.
"This way! Last I know, John was headed up the river!" Javier said over the wind as he took the lead.
"For all we know, he kept ridin' north and never looked back," Arthur grunted, bowing his head so that the brim of his hat would shield his face from the wind.
"He wouldn't leave. Not like that." Javier doubted.
"Well, wouldn't be the first time," Arthur replied, clutching the reins tighter, wishing he had on two pairs of gloves instead of one. He and Javier trekked north, both of them encouraging their horses to continue on their journey. Arthur may not have had a bond as strong with this horse like he did with Boadicea, his fallen horse after the failed ferry robbery in Blackwater, but the mahogany bay stallion was pushing through. "Good boy!" Arthur encouraged as he gave the stallion an encouraging pat to the neck. "So... You were there, Javier, what really happened on that boat?" He asked.
"We had the money, it seemed fine, then suddenly they were everywhere," Javier explained.
"Bounty hunters?" Arthur guessed.
"No, Pinkertons. It was crazy. Raining bullets," Javier continued as the horses were now on steeper terrain. "Watch out for this crevice!" He warned. "Dutch killed a girl in a... bad way, but it was a bad situation."
"That ain't like him, though." Arthur replied.
"They continue along the cliff wall here!" Javier said, referring to the horse tracks he and Arthur found shortly after they left camp. "Davey got shot. Mac and John... Both shot too. Sean, we don't even know. I'm surprised we escaped at all. By the time you boys showed up from the other side of town, we were only just holding on." Javier continued.
Arthur sighed, "Bad business alright."
They were now trotting through fresh snow, which was too much for Arthur's liking, so he decided to slow his horse down to a walk as he knew the fresh and deep snow had to be hard on his horse. "You're alright boy," He encouraged. "The horses are struggling."
"Yeah, a lot of fresh snow here."
"I don't know about this, Javier. W-we can't follow nothing." Arthur doubted.
"Let's push on a little bit, maybe we'll pick up the trail again," Javier encouraged as their horses continued to push on up the steep embankment.
"Almost there, boy, c'mon now!"
"Hey, look! Over there, you see that?" Javier pointed as the men stopped their horses before nudging them to a lope. Upon closer inspection, it was a deceased horse. "John was riding that horse when we left Blackwater." Javier sighed.
"Oh... That's..." Arthur grunted. He didn't mind killing an animal when it came to hunting but seeing a dead horse hurt him on the inside. Aside from a buck, horses were his favorite animal as they represented so much freedom, beauty, and spirit. Something Arthur wrote fondly about in his journal was Boadicea. He sighed as he looked away from the deceased animal before turning his attention back to Javier.
"Let's see if he can hear us!" Javier said before firing his revolver, the gunpowder echoing through the icy canyon and empty mountains.
"Hey! Help! Here!"
"Come on... Up there!" Javier suggested as he pushed Boaz into a steady lope up the embankment.
"Hello? Over here!"
"It's coming from up ahead somewhere. I don't think we can go much further on the horses. We'll have to walk from here." Javier said as he dismounted Boaz. "I'd grab that shotgun from your horse. Who knows what's up ahead."
───※ ·❆· ※───
"That's quite a scratch you got there." Arthur said as he and Javier were now looking at John Marston from over the cliff he had sought shelter.
John looked up at the pair with his new three lacerations, "Never thought I'd say this, but it's good to see you, Arthur Morgan."
Arthur sighed as he eased himself down to where John was, looking him over briefly, "You don't look so good." He said as he slung John's arm over his shoulders.
"I don't feel too good neither," John groaned as Arthur easily lifted the man up, helping him get atop the cliff so Javier could help. "I'm freezing!"
"Don't die just yet, cowboy." Arthur said as he hoisted himself back up before slinging John over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, slowly walking behind Javier as he figured out a way to get back to the horses without having to go through the rough terrain they had encountered on foot.
"You see that on the ridge?" Javier said as distant howls echoed from afar. Arthur felt John shift his weight as he was still slung over Arthur's shoulder, looking up at what damage the animals had caused.
"Shit," Arthur mumbled as he helped John to his feet. "I'll distract them while you get to the horses. Go, I'll draw 'em off you." He insisted.
"Let's get back to the others!" Javier exclaimed after Arthur had successfully terminated the three wolves after a brief scrapple. Arthur clutched his wrist to rid the pain as he had gotten bitten, but it luckily didn't pierce through his skin, only his coat.
"I don't feel too good," John complained.
"You'll be fine. It's just like a...a dog bite."
John sighed, "I knew a feller, got bit by a dog. Died an hour later."
"You ain't gonna die! Not yet-" Javier assured. "More of 'em to the right!" He shouted.
Arthur quickly pulled out the sewed-off shotgun Javier had given him, hoping that his new horse wouldn't spook too bad from the shots and the wolves coming at his fetlocks. "Easy boy!" Arthur said as he shot two wolves quickly, regaining control as his horse's natural instincts took over.
"You see any more, Arthur?" Javier called.
"Don't think so." He grunted.
"Jesus!" John whined.
"You still with us, Marston?" Arthur teased.
"Just about." He groaned.
"You're gonna be okay. We have some shelter now." Javier assured.
"Thanks for coming for me."
"Of course. That bullet in Blackwater, now this? You had a hell of a time."
"And Arthur always says... I'm lucky." John croaked.
"You know, we're gonna need to come up with a better story for that scar!" Arthur teased as the horses trudged through the current of the river in an attempt to cover up their scent.
"So, freezing, bleeding, starving, damn near getting eaten to death, ain't good enough for you?" John questioned.
"Yeah...c'mon. Let's push hard and get back."
"See those buildings up ahead John? That's where we're camped. Nearly there." Javier assured as the camp was inching closer.
"Come on! Someone help John down off this horse!" Javier exclaimed.
"Can we get some help here?" Arthur intervened as he pulled his horse to a halt, dismounting as he heard the main cabin's door squeak as Abigail came running out. "You're alive! Oh, you're alive!" Abigail cried as she gripped onto John's jacket.
"Ay, careful idiotas, it's his leg!" Javier warned as he was still atop Boaz.
"Come on, let's get you warm!" Abigail said as Bill was acting as a crutch for John, leading him to the cabin. "Thank you! Thank you both!"
Arthur and Javier nodded as they were soon joined by Hosea and Leopold Strauss. "Thank you, Arthur. Thank you." Hosea said, patting his shoulder.
"You got any other lost maidens need savin'?" Arthur groaned.
"Yeah, that Minnie Barlow," Hosea teased, referring to the brief conversation he and Dutch had about the woman after they brought Sadie Adler to camp, Dutch explaining to Hosea that Arthur had kept asking questions about the fellow outlaw relentlessly, making it clear to Dutch and Hosea that he may be under the impression of a crush, which Hosea loved to play "matchmaker."
"I don't know what you're talkin' about," Arthur scoffed. Hosea chuckled as Javier and Leopold Strauss retreated slightly, "Dutch told me about your crush."
"Whatchu talkin' about? I don't have no crush!" Arthur blushed.
"You're forgetting that we know you better than you do, Arthur. Since when have you been so curious about an outlaw when you're an outlaw yourself?" Hosea questioned. Arthur shook his head as he wanted to get the topic of love interests from his head. 'Yeah, like a woman like that would have me anyways.' He scolded to himself.
"Have you and Dutch talked about how we're gonna get out of this?" Arthur asked, changing the subject.
"I was just discussing with Herr Strauss when the weather breaks I suppose we'll have to keep heading east."
"East? Into all of that civilization?" Arthur objected.
"I know," Hosea replied. "The west is where our problems are worse. C'mon, Herr Strauss, let's get warm."
Arthur nodded as he thrust through the snow, rubbing his palms up and down his upper arms in an attempt to generate heat, but he felt as if he was getting nowhere. He quickly shut the door to the cabin, retreating to his room for a brief bit of isolation, something that he needed. He had a sudden urge to write as if nothing that was going on even mattered. He sat on the edge of his cot, pulling the nightstand closer to him to make a table:
