trick or treat
hello anon and happy halloween! it is my privilege to fill your jack-o-lantern with a snippet from the next chapter of matter of luck 🍀
“Let go of me!” she yelled, her voice biting the wind, her fists railing against his back. “How dare you? I don’t have time for this!”
Argos adjusted Kagami over his shoulder, wincing as her elbow caught the side of his head. His hood had dropped a while ago, his cheek stinging from where her knuckles had struck. Still he soldiered on, carrying her toward the manhole where no one would hear her screams.
“No!” Kagami yelled, thrashing harder in his grip. “Not down there! Don’t even think—”
Argos stamped on the edge of the manhole, flipping it up and leaping into the darkness in a single swift movement. Kagami’s startled cry broke off as they landed hard in the shadows of the sewers, the smell suddenly rank in his throat.
Water trickled around them, the harsh fluorescent bulbs somehow still too dim in the maze of tunnels, the cement walls colored with unspeakable stains. Argos turned to Kagami, opening his mouth, and promptly gagged.
She shoved him, rightfully, looking rather sick herself. “Really?” she said, shriveling him with a glare. “Is this where you plan to kill me? You could have picked anywhere else, Félix.”
“I’m not going to kill you,” Argos said. His skin prickled beneath the suit at the way she spoke his name.
thank you for the ask! 👻

hey, happy 300! for the event, how about luck voltia + C7. “You want to know why I kissed you? Because you’re special to me.”?
Hello hello there Anon! Thank you for the request! Sorry for the wait but here it is now~!
Summary: Luck kissed you during a game of Truth or Dare. And though it was a dare, a happy little truth comes out of it.
Genre: romance, fluff
Word count: ~750
..........
“Truth or dare?” Magna asked while pointing to Luck.
“Oh dare!”
“Shoulda guessed… Okay then! I dare you to…” Magna looked around the circle of people gathered for the, admittedly childish, game that you and the other Bulls were playing. “Kiss someone in this circle. Doesn’t matter wh—”
Without Magna even finishing, Luck turned to you, sitting directly to his right, and grinned in his usual manner.
“You’re going to be the one I kiss, okay?” It sounded more like a statement than a question.
…..
You frowned at the memory of a fleeting peck on the lips that you’d likely never experience again.
It wasn’t that you disliked Luck that made the moment unpleasant. In fact, it was your affection for him that made the memory unbearable because… He probably only kissed you out of convenience. And he’d never kiss you again.
You grabbed your pillow and shoved it onto your face.
“Aaaauuugggh! Stupid!” you screamed into the pillow and writhed on your mattress. “Why’d it have to be someone as oblivious and romance blind as—! Ugh!”
You let yourself fall limp. What was the point of complaining about it? It was done. The sooner you stopped thinking about it—
“Heeeey! I heard suffo—”
“Gyaaaaaah!” On instinct, you shot up and threw your pillow at the intruder.
Before the projectile could hit its target, a hand donned in lightning armor caught the pillow and crushed it. Downy feathers exploded into the air and fell like snow around the room.
“Oh good, you aren’t dead!” Luck exclaimed with a grin.
“Loo-La-Luck?! Why are you here?!” you sputtered and scrambled to your feet.
“Like I said, I thought I heard you being suffocated,” Luck answered point blank. “Can’t let you die after all.”
Your heart twisted. His tone was so carefree but the implication of him being worried for you…
No! He’s just worried about a friend. A co-worker! Nothing more! You crossed your arms and smiled at him. “Well thanks for worrying. I suppose you’re off to bother Magna now that you know I’m alive?”
“Can’t; he left for a mission an hour ago.”
At this, you raised a brow. The only rooms near yours were Magna and Nero’s. And Luck never had much reason to talk to Nero. Which meant…
“I actually wanted to talk to you about something.”
“Huh?!” You felt your body lock up. Oh gosh, I’m blushing! Please don’t notice! “Y-yeah?” I swear, if it’s about—
“So yesterday, during the game I mean.” Luck closed the distance between you two and put his hands on your shoulders. With him so close, every feature of his seemed more handsome. “When I kissed you, you didn’t really kiss back.”
“Uh… Well… I mean, the dare was for you, not me…” Your tongue felt like lead. Static buzzed in your mind, paralyzing you. Why couldn’t he have waited a week or something?! I’m still processing this! “Why did you even kiss me at all?”
Luck’s eyes locked with yours. He stared at you, into you, for a moment, his eyes wide like he was searching.
“Because it was you!” Maybe it was a trick of the light but Luck’s face seemed… pinker.
“… Huh? Wha…?”
“I guess it wasn’t obvious…” Luck squeezed your shoulders and leaned in. The blush on Luck’s face was very obvious at that point. “You want to know why I kissed you? Because you’re special to me.”
“S-so you’re saying…” The heat in your face spread to the rest of your body. The sound of your beating—no, hammering—heart made you dizzy. “You like me too…?”
“Yeah I like you too!” Then Luck blinked, eyes going wide, as if realizing what had just been said. “‘Too.’ You like me ‘too.’” You mutely nodded. “That’s… That's great!” Luck did a jump, still gripping your shoulders, and when he landed he stayed on his tiptoes to stay closer to eye level with you. “So it was alright to kiss you? Does that mean we can kiss again? Does that mean we’re dating?!”
Luck’s smile was wider and his joy was brighter than when he was on a battlefield. And his exuberance was infectious. Laughter bubbled in your throat as you took his hands off your shoulders to hold.
“Yes! To all of those!” To push the point even further, you leaned down and kissed Luck’s cheek.
To your joy, and to Luck’s as well, that first kiss wasn’t the last. Only the beginning to many more.

omg katuski as kendall…so true bestie…anyways i like to imagine aside from looks reader is actually really good at their job which inturn makes them EVEN MORE SEXY TO THE OFFICE!!!
(succession!au tag - here!)
do notttt make me turn this into a post abt character x smart!reader bc that's my whole fucking life and i'll die defending it before i die doing anything else. on god.
but anyway, in the succession!au too?? *starts foaming at the mouth and spitting*
LIKE, they're almost all fucking nepo babies of SOME sort, cuz even the ones with more humble beginnings (like Kiri and Deku) never had to work that hard w/ Bakugo and All Might by their sides, helping to both teach them abt business AND offer them fancy jobs...
so meeting someone (Y-O-U) who actually labored for what they have? and truly earned their position w/ hard work and genuine smarts???
ooooh it's so sexy to them, especially since you can see right through almost all of their shit and don't give into their stupid requests and business moves just bc you wanna be in their favor or suck dick for a better position.
(let it be known that Deku has fumbled a few good deals letting a new recruit make decisions on his behalf just because he wanted to get in their pants... a fact that never fails to make bakugo smug asf LOL)
But there you are, working hard + minding your business AND THEY LOVE IT; love when you charge into meetings and assert your points, or fight back when you think a plan is stupid, even if that plan is All Might's or Bakugo's... you actually care about the company and they can tell.
...which is why you end up getting invited to all the foreign business meetings where the boys drool over your nice, revealing vacation clothes at the same you negotiate business...
and if your blatant denial of their interest in you and focus on your work makes them all the more horny? THAT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS.

Hey there's this girl in my class who's been writing me (outta 250 ppl in our class).
At the beginning it was to have sum information about a trip she couldn't go to, but now she keeps writing me without a reason n all my friends think it's bcuz she likes me but she didn't make my gaydar blip or anything... Actually she looks hetero 100%
How do I understand if she's being gay or just polite wtf please send help🙏☠️
Ahh the good ole “is she flirting” dilemma gotta love it
Unfortunately (again) i am really not the person to ask as i am both Oblivious™️ and lacking like most of the other context to this but if I had to give advice i would say:
Don’t discount her on stuff like gaydar like maybe mine is just faulty af but i get it wrong CONSTANTLY lol I learned really quick to just not try and guess and let people tell me themselves. And then also just be patient with it! Maybe she’s interested in you romantically or maybe she’s interested in being your friend! And both are great things to have :) either way if she keeps reaching out it sounds like she’s been enjoying talking with you so maybe just persue the connection naturally and see where it goes!
Idk maybe try inviting her out to a casual lunch and see how it goes, it’s hard to tell if a relationship will develop without first developing the base relationship at all imo
I’m really sorry I can’t be of any actual help but good luck with it all!!
