-Drunken Giggles-

Freddy Carter/Fem!Reader Platonic Crows Cast x Fem!Reader

Description: Freddy takes care of his drunken friend crush after a party

(Request from @opheliaofficial07: Hello, can I request a Freddy Oneshot where reader is a friend of one of the cast members and they get drunk and Freddy takes care of them)

Warnings: drinking, nausea, headaches, vomiting, clubbing

____________________

“And you’re completely sure this will be fine?” Y/N questioned, running her finger along the edge of the gift bag.

“Yes!” Jack exclaimed for the millionth time that day. “He will love it, I swear,”

“And you’re sure it’s okay for me to come along?” She asked yet again, leaning back against the passenger seat staring at her best friend as he drove.

“Yes Y/N, they all loved you, I swear,” he glanced at her before turning his eyes back to the road. “Now hush before I crash this car,”

She snickered, rolling her eyes, before turning up the volume on the radio station currently playing as her and Jack sang along to the cheesy pop songs blasting from the speaker.

Jack Wolfe had been her best friend since nursery she supposed. She couldn’t remember life without him. They had been there for each other forever. He was practically her brother if you thought about it.

She had been over the moon when he was cast as Wylan Van Eck in Netflix’s upcoming show ‘Shadow and Bone’ and even more delighted when he recently introduced her to his cast mates, which was only fitting as he wanted his new found family his own sister.

They all, naturally, loved her. With her witty jokes and dazzling smile, she was a hit and blended in seamlessly with them despite not even being on the show alongside them.

Freddy, in particular, had paid close attention to this beautiful girl and couldn’t keep his mind off her since.

So now, she had been invited to Kit’s birthday party and was freaking out constantly asking Jack for his reassurance that she wasn’t going to be awkward there and that she would be fine.

It wasn’t that she was nervous about seeing them again, well maybe only Freddy, but she felt like an intruder. Trying to mix in with an already established group.

She watched as Jack reversed into a parking space and switched off the engine, before opening the car door.

Quickly checking her appearance in the overhead mirror, she grabbed the bag in one hand and her purse in the other before swinging open the door and stepping out into the cool breeze.

She shut the door behind her with a bang and smoothed down her silky dress.

She and Jack walked side by side to Kit’s chosen club of the night. The sun was beginning to set and, since it was late October in England, it was already freezing.

“Remember to call a taxi on the way back,” he reminded her, flicking her with his finger.

“Yes, dad,” she groaned, smacking his hand away, laughing

She ran her hands up and down and her arms trying to keep herself warm as they neared the club.

The line was relatively short at this time so they got to the front fast enough.

They flashed the bouncer their ID’s before stepping inside.

As soon as the door shut behind them they immediately lifted their hands to their eyes trying to block out the colourful ribbons of light shooting out from every direction possible.

Loud music filled their ears as they turned to look at eachother.

The dance floor was completely packed with bodies already so it was hard to see anyone in this dim light.

Y/N turned to scan the crowd and noticed a certain brunette boy smiling at his friends.

“Look, there’s Freddy,” she said, raising her voice over the crowd even though she doubted she was heard.

She pointed in their direction and took Jack’s hand to make sure he followed her.

She wove her way around several bodies, grinding to the beat, or flailing their arms around, almost spilling drinks, before reaching her intended destination.

She leaned forward to tap on Freddy’s shoulder but as if sensing her arrival, he turned before she could actually make contact with him.

She did an awkward little half wave with that arm before lowering it.

“Hi,” she said, smiling.

“Hello," he returned the smile.

She was just about to open her mouth before Danielle crashed into her, hugging her tight.

“Hi Dani!” She giggled, hugging her back.

She took turns greeting the rest of the cast in similar fashion before turning to Kit.

“Happy Birthday!” She beamed, thrusting the gift bag forward. “I hope you like it,”

He gave her a hug and thanked her for the gift and coming along too.

Just then Calahan and Jack returned with a tray of drinks, everyone turning to grab one.

Let the party begin.

*****

Somehow, one drink turned into about five.

Well, six by the time Y/N finished gulping down the glass before joining Kit back on the dance floor

By now she was completely drunk.

As were many of her friends around her.

Kit and Y/N were drunkenly dancing, Dani and Amita had taken to loudly laughing at every little thing.

Only Cal, Freddy had remained sober enough, only downing a drink or two.

Jack had left earlier as he told her he had to see his dog? Or was it his mum? Y/N couldn't remember.

The alcohol blurred her thoughts together as she continued dancing.

Eventually, she all but tumbled, very ungracefully, into the seat next to Freddy, pacing just one last shot.

“Easy, easy,” he laughed, warmly, that sound wrapping around her like a blanket.

She laughed back, looking up at him, captured by his outrageously gorgeous eyes.

She leaned forward, a bit boldly, to brush away a strand of hair stuck to his eyelid. He blushed at the contact but it was quite dark so she wouldn’t have seen it.

“Thanks,” he replied but Y/N was already bounding off towards Kit and Dani, who was slow dancing with Amita, again.

He smiled at her dark hair, wildly flicking everywhere and how carefree she looked while dancing.

If only she knew how much he liked her.

*****

“Doing alright love?”

Y/N looked up at the sound of his familiar voice, shivering in the late fall chill.

“Helloooooooo,” she replied, staring into his eyes and leaning against the brick wall, furiously rubbing her hands down her arms for some warmth but to no avail.

Almost everyone had gone home now but Y/N seemed to have forgotten her phone in Jack's car before they left so she was stuck here, drunk and cold, with no way home.

“And who's coming to get you?” He asked, looking around at the street as she was alone outside and it was dark, not the safest of situations.

“I c-cant finnnnnd my phooooooneee,” she hiccuped, looking around her bag again even though she had checked like a million times.

“Oh,” his brows furrowed.

He couldn’t leave her here alone, not while she was drunk.

“I can drop you off,” he offered, searching her face for her reaction. He never would have said it if it wasn’t for the way she was shivering, or maybe it was the drunken smile on her face, the way she still looked perfect despite her current situation.

They had both been dancing around the flames of their attraction, not wanting to ruin their friendship and also completely oblivious to the obvious spark there.

He should’ve just ordered her a taxi but whatever. He cared for her.

Besides, she probably wouldn’t remember this tomorrow.

She nodded aggressively in agreement and bounded off towards the car park.

He laughed before calling, “Wrong way!”

She turned on her heel, remarkably fast for someone who was wearing heels, and let Freddy lead them on.

At some point, and she could not remember when, her feet had gotten so sore she ended up leaning on Freddy, with his arm draped around her protectively.

She was obviously shivering and he felt a slight twinge in his chest.

“Here,” he said, shrugging off his jacket, “Wear this,” he draped it over her shoulder so she would at least have some protection.

She sighed in relief and thanked him before hiccuping again.

He was absolutely freezing but the smile on her face warmed him up just fine.

He sensed the paparazzi would obviously show up soon enough and it was bad enough that Y/N was in this state so he didn’t look around for the occasional flash and focused on getting Y/N to the car quickly before she did something that would end up on tabloids tomorrow.

After what seemed like an age, they finally neared his car, parked in a separate car park a couple of minutes away.

He made her lean against the car frame as he opened the passenger seat for her.

He helped her in and gently shut the door, making his way around to the driver's side.

He settled in and slammed the door shut with him, sheltering himself from the cruel cold.

He rubbed his hands together before starting the engine and turning on the heater.

He looked over at Y/N who was leaning against the window, smiling, in her own world.

He gently tapped her on the leg to get her attention.

“What’s your address?” He asked as she turned around to face him.

She rattled off her address as he keyed it into his sat-nav and buckled herself in.

He slightly raised the volume of the radio station playing so it could fill in the awkward silence as he set down the road.

“So…” he cleared his throat. “Have a nice night?” He asked awkwardly.

He wasn’t really sure what to say.

“Y-yeah,” she hiccuped. “Ffffffabuloussss,”

He laughed warmly as the conversation grew a bit smoother as the journey continued.

Soon enough, they reached her apartment complex as he parked outside.

He turned off the engine and looked over at her, she was slightly snoring.

His lips tipped up in a smile knowing that she was comfortable enough with him to fall asleep.

He opened his car door and got out, rounding the car to her side and opening it.

He nudged her gently, trying to slowly awaken her.

“Y/N,” he murmured, “we’re here,”

She opened her eyes and blinked confusedly in his direction for a second before recognition flickered in her eyes.

He helped her out of the car and blipped it shut behind him.

They made their way towards the entrance.

“Ugh, I’m g-going to chooooop my f-feet offfff,” she groaned, wincing in her heels.

“That’s a bit dramatic,” he laughed but bent down and prised them off her feet.

She practically moaned when her feet were flat on the lobby ground.

He bent down slightly and stabilised his hand beneath her knee and armpits before scooping her up, not willing to let her walk on the dirty ground.

She murmured her floor number and relaxed in his embrace and he thumbed the button and the lift ascended up.

The building was practically silent at this time of night so nobody would see them anyway.

As the lift doors opened and he stepped out, she pointed to which door was hers.

He put her down for a moment, her heels still in his hands, as she fumbled around her purse for a key.

Eventually, she found it and held it in her shaky grip and unlocked the door.

She all but stumbled inside, collapsing on her velvet couch with a ‘thump’.

He shut the door behind him and placed her heels on the ground.

He looked around at her flat, while it wasn’t in the best state it definitely suited her, he supposed.

Chaotic yet beautiful.

He supposed he should go now, now that she was home safely, but he didn’t really want to if he was honest.

“Well, night then,” he waved, turning around to the door.

“Wait,” she exclaimed and shot up on the couch holding out a hand.

His eyebrows furrowed and he turned around facing her.

“Ssssstay, p-please, don’t l-leeeeeave me aloooone,” she slurred, clasping her hands, begging.

“Are you sure?” He asked, uncertainly.

She was drunk and wasn’t thinking right.

“Yes!” She gasped as if it were the most obvious thing on this planet.

He nodded and turned around towards the door again.

“Wait! W-where arrrrreeee you goinnnng?” She hiccuped.

“To lock the door,” he laughed, turning the key and hearing the satisfying click.

She sunk back into the couch and just lay there.

He laughed as she started snoring softly again.

He pushed open a door which he was correct in assuming was her bedroom.

The sheets slightly ruffled as if made in a rush, an overflowing makeup case strewn on her desk, clothes hanging from railings.

He pulled back the bedsheets and went back to the living room and scooped the sleeping beauty up. He lay her onto her bed, taking off the jacket, and pulled the duvet over her.

He supposed her dress wasn't the comfiest thing to sleep in but he didn’t want to invade her privacy like that.

He grabbed the water bottle beside her bed and filled it up with fresh water for her incase she woke up thirsty.

He also dragged a bin beside her incase she threw up.

He smiled softly to himself as she had already made herself comfy in her bed.

He flicked off the light and shut the door, leaving it fractionally open.

He looked around for a couple minutes before he found a spare blanket and he made himself comfy on her couch.

He lay awake thinking of the day's events and what led up to this before sleep began to overtake him too.

His eyes flickered open and shut as he listened to the sleeping girl in the other room, his breath subconsciously matching hers.

*****

“Bleuch,” she heaved into the bin.

Perfect start to the morning really.

She’d woken up with a pounding headache, the driest mouth, the sorest throat and the most aching body ever. Not to mention the nausea that had been rolling around her stomach since she’d finally gotten to her senses.

God, she was never drinking again, she thought as she spewed into the bin again.

Then she heard footsteps approaching her bedroom and she got confused.

Then flashbacks of last night hit her. Oh. It was Freddy. She had asked, no, begged him to stay. Fabulous. She threw up again.

The door tentatively opened and Freddy poked his head inside.

When he saw that she was leaning over the bin, he stepped fully inside and rushed over to her.

“Are you doing okay?” He wrinkled his nose at the stench of vomit.

Without lifting up her head, she gave him a thumbs up before falling back against the bed.

“I am never drinking again,” she stated, voice hoarse.

Jeez, how much did she actually drink to be this hungover.

He snorted, “How are you feeling?” He asked, but she instantly shushed him and he forgot how loud he might sound to her. It felt like a jackhammer drilling into her skull. “Sorry,” he whispers.

“Like I’ve been run over. By a truck,” she groans. Wincing, because everything hurt.

He went over to the window and pulled the blinds up about a quarter way, so the room was still dark enough, then opened the window to get some fresh air in here.

“Why don’t you go shower?” He mused, seeing her rumpled state. Hair matted to her forehead, face pale with nausea.

“I think I’m just going to wait here,” she winced, eyes shut.

“For what?” He scrunched his nose in confusion.

“Sleep? Death? I don’t know,”

He chucked before telling her again: “Go on, shower,”

“That’s if I can even stand,” she muttered before weakly swinging her legs over the bed frame and pushing herself up, grasping onto her headboard.

Freddy stepped forward, grasping her arms and helping her up.

He wrapped an arm around her and helped her hobble to the bathroom.

She smiled at him gratefully and locked the door as he stepped back.

She heard his retreating footsteps and she limped over to the sink and almost had an aneurysm at the sight in the mirror.

She looked dreadful. Her eyes widened alarmingly. How hadn’t Freddy ran away yet?

She groaned quietly. Her eyes were so bloodshot ,that it was genuinely scary, which stuck out even more on her extremely pale face. Her hair was matted in all kinds of ways which made her wonder if she would ever be able to detangle it. Her makeup was smudged and sticky and her party dress was all rumpled.

She stripped off everything in record time and practically cried in relief when that cool water hit her skin.

Meanwhile, after he had cleaned out her bin and replaced it, Freddy set to making breakfast for them. He had settled on a simple avocado on toast for Y/N seeing as she couldn’t stomach much anyway.

For himself, he decided on scrambled eggs and started making them.

The eggs hit the pan in a sizzle and he started to smile to himself as he heard Y/N humming in the other room, sure it was tuneless and random but he loved seeing her comfortable around him.

As he plated the eggs and placed them on her small dining table, he heard the shower turn off and the bathroom door open.

He scoffed down his breakfast in record time, not haven eaten dinner from the night before.

When he finished he washed his plate and left it in the rack for drying.

He gave her a few more minutes before picking up her breakfast and walked to her bedroom door.

“Come in,” she said, voice hoarse.

He opened the door and crossed over the dim room to her bed and lowered the plate beside her.

“I’m not hungry,” she sighs.

He frowns before raising his eyebrows, “You need to eat,”

“No,”

“Yes,”

She stuck her tongue out at him before grabbing the plate and taking a small tentative bite.

Then she let out a soft sound of pleasure: “Oh this is so good,” she moaned, crumbs dropping to her bed frame which she brushed away.

“Stubborn woman,” he muttered, smiling.

“What did you say?” She raised her eyebrow.

“Nothing, nothing,” he chuckled, and felt himself blushing.

“Better be,” she smiled back, heat creeping up her face, invisible in the dark room.

*****

They were both sitting on the sofa watching a movie, despite Freddy’s half hearted arguments that he should leave now, when someone knocked on the door.

He placed his empty soup bowl on the table.

Freddy looked at Y/N before he got up and walked to the door.

Y/N paused the TV and turned her attention to the door, curious to see who was there.

Freddy pulled it open, only to find Jack standing there.

“Oh,” Jack gasped, double-taking over Freddy’s frame before his eyes widened. “Hi,”

Freddy’s face went red, not expecting any of their friends to see them like this.

“It's not what it looks like Jack,” Y/N tried to call but her voice cracked half-way through the sentence.

“I’m here to drop off Y/N’s phone,” he explained, handing it over to Freddy, amusement lighting his eyes, this was unexpected. “She left it in my car,”

“Thanks,” Freddy smiled, not knowing what else to say at this moment.

“Well I’ll leave you guys too it,” he smiled, waving them both goodbye and instantly pulling out his phone as he started down the hall, no doubt to tell the group.

Freddy waved him off awkwardly and shut the door behind him.

He turned back to Y/N sniggering on the sofa like a child.

“Oh shut up,” he rolled his eyes, handing her her phone back.

“You look so embarrassed,” she laughed.

“I'm not,” he countered, laughing along with her.

She pressed play on the movie and they both settled back down to watch it.

Eventually, she had shuffled right close to Freddy, leaning against him with his arm around her.

She looked up at him and whispered in his ear even though there was no one around.

“Thanks for nursing me back to health,”

He looked down at her face and pushed a strand of hair back, smiling back.

“Anytime,”

[ freddy carter | non-binary | he/they | twenty-six ] —— it’s just another typical week in hawkins i guess — isn’t that right, jonathan byers? huh, guess they can’t hear me over should i stay or should i go? by the clash playing on their walkman, but it looks like they’re photographer for hawkins press. did you know jonathan has been in hawkins for their whole life? yeah, they’ve been described as a bit gloomy, but i suppose them also being loyal to a fault outweighs the negative. i’ve also heard people say they remind them of never running out of a film, a camera always strapped to your person to photograph memories before they’re gone, willing to do whatever it takes to protect your family, not knowing who you are anymore, trying to figure out what your purpose in a town that feels like a ghost, however, that could just be this weeks newest rumor.

character inspos: fox mulder (x-files), marianne sheridan (normal people), jo march (little women), rue bennett (euphoria), charlie kelmeckis (perks of being a wallflower), lip gallagher (shameless), amy antsler (booksmart), bonnie bennett (the vampire diaries), bobby drake (x-men), willow rosenberg (buffy the vampire slayer)

full name — jonathan byers nickname(s) — honestly none but probably doesn’t mind going by j name meaning — god has given age — twenty-six date of birth — november 3rd place of birth — hawkins, indiana current location — hawkins, indiana gender — non-binary pronouns — he/they sexual orientation — bisexual religion — atheist occupation — previously at bradleys / currently photographer for hawkin’s press education level — high school , some college family — lonnie byers (father, estranged) joyce byers (mother), will byers (brother), el hopper (step-sister), jim hopper (sees him as a father figure) finances — poor spoken languages — english, spanish faceclaim — freddy carter

tw: lonnie being the pos that he is (nothing too descriptive in terms of his verbal abuse), blink and there’s a gender crisis (non descriptive), implications of bullying, they have an anxiety disorder but they don’t wanna talk abt it smh but it’s implied

jonathan was born into this world on a cold november 3rd at 6:31pm, a month and a minute late than their due date. his mother used to say that he just wanted to be safe just for a little while longer. the world, as she predicated, would be cruel.

his father doesn’t know how to love him, and he has to watch the way that lonnie treats his mom before he starts to get that verbal abuse from his father. jonathan used to cry a lot as a child, but eventually he stopped crying, his heart hardened at a young age.

when will is born it’s like the house suddenly feels warmer, jonathan holding his sibling in his arms and smiling up at their mom as if to say thank you for giving me my best friend.

eventually the marriage between lonnie and joyce would disintegrate like everything else in their family and it would just be joyce, will, and jonathan. a family of three, but stronger together.

school isn’t easy for a kid like jonathan who’s naturally quiet and doesn’t care for most things like boys his age should. most lunches are spent in the bathroom stall or with one of his favourite teachers who take pity on the byers boy because kids can be cruel, jonathan with his hand me downs that don’t quite fit right on his body with a haircut that’s too long.

( jonathan doesn’t know how to say even now that he still doesn’t feel like he fits just right in their clothing , or their body or mind- doesn’t know how to say that sometimes he feels like he takes up too much space in this world for someone who feels so small all the time. )

when he gets hold of a camera things get easier, he can find beauty in things that no one else can. a surprisingly warm winter day, your mom standing in the kitchen making cookies for a bake sale, and your brother is sitting at the table drawing something–you don’t know what but it doesn’t matter, you take the picture anyway, preserving the moments as much as you can.

when his mom would go to protests jonathan would bring his camera, it’s good to preserve those, and he’d send a clipping to the press even if they wouldn’t use them.

they want to go nyu, but they also know they can’t leave their mom and sibling behind. jonathan would choose community college and getting his degree in photo journalism.

but then will goes missing, and then will gets possessed by the mindflayer and no matter what jonathan seems to do he can’t seem to protect his brother no matter how hard he tries.

people still make rumours about their family, and while jonathan elects to ignore it, it’s hard when they start talking about will. jonathan has been in their fare share of fights with people who have said something unkind about will to their face.

he thought that maybe when they moved to california it could be the fresh start that they needed but he was wrong.

with the town split in half he can’t seem to care about his future or even photography anymore.

other stuff:

gayer than usual

lowkey stayed a stoner

trauma that is never brought up or discussed they’re gonna hold it in until they die probably

became a photographer for the paper even though they don’t really know why they’re doing it… it’s been a long time since photography brought him any sort of joy. feels more like an obligation now.

literally doesn’t know how to exist in this town anymore everything seems very foreign to him.

wants to punch mike wheeler in the face <3

literally he has so much he wants to say but he doesn’t know where to start and honestly he’s afraid he won’t be able to stop once he does.

very bisexual , has had a crush on every male ever but has only ever loved one woman ! ( nancy )

nancy and jonathan have broken up about a month ago so they’re struggling with that right now pls look away ! alskjf;asds

protective as ever over will but trying not to be like their mom and keeping them too close but also ? they worry ! they wanna be there if will ever calls but knows that they’re not a kid and need to make mistakes

#hawkinstm.intro #━━ ❛❛ // JONATHAN BYERS ! ¦ jesus christ i’m so blue all the time and that’s just how i feel . 「 about ! 」

The Crow Club | Kaz Brekker x Sister!Reader

Requested by anon: “Kaz x sister reader where he notices some guys eyeing her up and subtly takes care of them while leaving her with jesper to fend off the creeps?”

Pairing: Kaz Brekker x sister!reader, Jesper x Reader (platonic)

Word Count: 1715

Warnings: asshole guys being assholes, teeny tiny mention of blood

A/N: Hope you like it! As always, spelling and grammar are not my strongest skills so please be kind :)

Masterlist

- - - - -

Over the years Kaz ‘Dirty Hands’ Brekker had earned a certain reputation in Ketterdam. The bastard of the barrel had a particular set of strengths and very few weaknesses.

His biggest weakness was you. His little sister. The fear that someone would hurt you just to get to him meant he was extremely over protective of you. He’d already lost one sibling, he couldn’t face the possibility of losing another.

You however were desperate for a chance to have some sort of independence. Fed up of being cooped up in the Slat you begged Kaz to let you start working at the Crow Club.

“You know nothing about running the club!”

“I’m not trying to run the place, I just want a job. C’mon Kaz, let me help out! I’m fed up being stuck in here feeling useless. Please?” you flash your puppy dog eyes, knowing full well Kaz has never been able to resist that face.

“Fine, you can help out serving drinks” he sighs and you grin “but only when I’m there too. You are never to enter that place unsupervised, do you understand?”

“Yes boss!” You salute with a smirk, but Kaz doesn’t find it amusing. You roll your eyes, dropping your salute. “I understand. Anyway its just the Crow Club, what’s the worst that can happen?”

— — — —

The club was rowdy, bustling with noise of coins flipping and excited chatter as you bustled through the crowds collecting empty glasses.

“I’ll have another refill please m’lady” a familiar voice says as you collect his glass.

“Jesper, shouldn’t you be on the door? Kaz will have your head if he catches you drinking on the job again” you warn with a laugh

“I’m on a break” he shrugs, leaning back in his chair to put his feet up on the table. The second his boots touch the wooden surface there’s a loud smack as Kaz’s cane comes crashing down on the table just next to his ankles.

“You need to work on your aim boss” Jesper smirks.

“Call it a warning shot” Kaz quips back and Jesper sighs as he removes his feet from the table “your break ended 7 minutes ago Jesper”

“No rest for the wicked” Jesper huffs, subtly rolling his eyes at you and you have to stifle a laugh. Kaz watches him leave then turns to you. You pick up the few remaining empty glasses and make your way back to the bar.

“Everything okay?” He says quietly to you, eyes darting around the room constantly on the lookout as he follows you through the busy club.

“Yes Kaz, everything is fine. Just like it was the last time you asked. And the time before that. And the time before that too” you place the glasses in the small sink behind the bar and start washing up “you really need to stop worrying, the frown lines on your face are getting deeper by the minute” you playfully splash a few drops of water at his face, causing him to sigh deeply.

“This is serious Y/N” he takes a handkerchief from his pocket, wiping away the soapy water from his cheek “I vowed to always keep you safe-”

“And I said I’m fine” you interrupt “why don't you trust me?!”

“It’s not you I don't trust. It’s everyone else. There are plenty of people in this city that want to hurt me, and by extension you. I can’t let happen… I can’t lose you too”

“Kaz…” you say, abandoning the washing up and turning fully to face your brother “I know you're just looking out for me and I appreciate it, but I am not child anymore. I can look after myself and I just really need you to not be breathing down my neck all the time. Give me a chance to prove I can do this on my own!”

Kaz thinks for a moment, breathing deeply.

“Fine. I’ll leave you to it. But I’ll just be upstairs in my office and if you need anything or see anyone suspicious, you come straight to me. Okay?”

“Okay. Thank you Kaz, I won’t let you down” you smile at your brother and watch him disappear through the crowd.

You didn’t expect Kaz to actually leave you alone, but true to his word you don't see him for the rest of the day. You do however notice Jesper spending more time inside the club and suspect your brother has tasked him with watching you but you don't mind. At least Jesper lets you get on with it without asking how you are every five minutes.

Weeks go by and the job is going well. The club regulars know you better now and even leave you generous tips. Kaz occasionally passes through the club and checks on you, but mostly he keeps to his office.

One unusually quiet evening as you were collecting glasses you spotted three faces you’d not seen before, sat together in a dark corner. They were watching you eagerly, but you chose to ignore them as you made your way back to the bar. A few moments later one of the men approached, leaning casually against the bar next to you.

“Now what’s a pretty thing like you doing in a place like this?” He asks with a rough voice.

“…working?” You reply, not sure what you were supposed to say. He shifts closer.

“No no no. Someone with looks like yours shouldn’t be working here”

“Well here I am. Can I get you anything?” You ask politely, trying to change the conversation.

“Three pints of your finest ale please, for me and my friends over there” he gestures to the table where the other two men were still sat watching your interaction.

“Coming right up” you say before moving away from him to the other side of the bar and starting to pour the drinks. He places some money on the bar and walks back to join his friends. You feel a weird shiver run through your body but you shrug it off as you place the drinks on a tray and head towards the dark corner they’re inhabiting. “Here are your drinks, and here’s your change” you say as you carefully place the tankards and some coins on the table.

“Keep it” the man who ordered the drinks says, gesturing for you to take the money.

“Oh! Thank you, thats very kind” you reach down to pick up the coins again, and the man pins your hand down with his own. You look at him wide eyed.

“Why don't you join us?”

“No I cant, I’m at work”

“C’mon love. There’s barely anyone else here, sit with us” he takes your hand, pulling you down onto the bench next to him. “Isn’t she a beauty?”

“Gorgeous” another man says “too nice to be in a dump like this”

“You should come work for us darlin’, our customers would love you” the other man says

“No thank you” you say trying to move away but the first man puts his arm around your shoulder, keeping you in place.

“We’d pay you well” he places his other hand on your thigh “we’d treat you right” he squeezes his big hand on your leg, inching closer to where you really don't want him to touch.

“I said no!” You elbow him in the gut and he releases his grip on you as you jump up from the table. All three men get up too and you take a few steps back.

“You bitch! You're gonna regret that!” The hurt man growls as the three of them advance on you as you back away. Suddenly a cane appears in front of them, creating a divide between you and them.

“Is there a problem here?” Kaz says, Jesper stood just behind him.

“This wench just assaulted me!” the man yells.

You see Jesper’s hand twitch toward the pocket you know his gun is kept in, but Kaz shoots him a sideways warning glance.

“I’m very sorry about that. If you come with me I’m sure we can work out some form of compensation.” He gestures for the men to walk with him.

Once they’re out of sight Jesper throws his arm around your shoulder, guiding you to sit with him. He picks up two of the untouched tankards of ale, passing one to you and taking a gulp of the other.

“Are you okay?” He asks after a few moments. You just nod your head silently, taking a sip of the ale.

The truth is the whole thing had shook you up, but you didn’t want to admit it to Jesper.

Some time later after the few remaining customers had left and you and Jesper had finished cleaning up for the night, Kaz reappeared. He gives Jesper a look and Jes nods before leaving the two of you alone. You can tell your brother wants to speak, but he also doesn’t want to pressure you.

“I’m okay” you break the silence looking at your brother “that’s what you want to ask me isn't it?”

“It’s okay if you're not. You don’t have to put on a brave face with me”

“Thanks Kaz” you say with a small smile “and thank you for saving me. I guess you right after all, I do need you to protect me. I always thought I was capable of defending myself, but in that situation I just didn’t know what to do”

“You almost broke his ribs Y/N! I’d say you did a pretty good job of defending yourself. I only stepped in because Jesper was about to shoot them.”

“Where are they now?”

“Dealt with.”

He tightens his hands around his cane and that’s when you notice the remnants of blood on the crows head. The two of you share a look for a moment, a silent conversation as you understand how he dealt with them.

“Thank you”

“I just did what any big brother would do.” He says softly and you share a genuine smile “Now off to bed. I need you full of energy for another busy day tomorrow”

“You're still letting me work here?” You ask, voice full of surprise

“can’t lose my best worker now can I”

Requests are open!

Feedback is always welcome ✨💕

“I’ll see you around?”

Freddy Carter x Reader

Requested - For @aliiiyyaaah

“okay so i actually got a new idea, maybe the reader is amita’s friend/or cousin and she was around set a lot because they really close and the reader loves to sing but is shy and idk maybe freddy is lowkey crushing on the reader and something super cute happens?”

Prompt - The melody of the music box soothed me”

Warnings - Small angst? Fluff 💞

————————————————

The melody of the music box soothed me.

I would play it over and over when I felt stress or anxiety gripping me.

Sometimes I would sing along with the tune and other times I would hum it.

I remember recreating the beats in my head when I met him.

The human version of sunshine.

We locked eyes for a single moment but my heart started to race.

He broke contact first and when he did I spun around to my best friend.

“Amita, who was that?”

“Who was who?”

I move my head slightly in the direction of the mystery man, doing my best to be subtle.

Amita chuckles and links my arm as we walk to her trailer.

“That was Freddy. He’s a shy one but he’s really sweet. You should talk to him!”

I shake my head.

“No no ‘Mita I can’t do that! Besides I’m only here for a couple of days.”

Amita just winks at me as she places on a film and gets comfortable.

“I will introduce you to the rest of the cast later, most of them are filming today.”

“Ahmmm” I mumble, sliding into the blanket on the back of the sofa and slowly feel my eyes slide close. Travelling always leaves me exhausted.

——————————————

I wasn’t sure when I fell asleep but I was awoken to a loud knocking on the trailer door.

I jump up and take in my surroundings. Amita wasn’t here but I see a note on the coffee table.

The knocking continues so I rise from my seat and open the door.

I come face to face with Freddy.

I silently cursed at me dishevelled appearance as he began to speak.

“Oh erm, I’m sorry. I thought you would be Amita? Is she in there?”

His voice was soft and gentle. Kinda like the sound that could soothe you to sleep.

I take a deep breath and pray that my words don’t fail me.

“No sorry, she left me a note saying she had to nip out. Do you want to come in and wait? I won’t mind”

He flashes me a small smile and comes closer.

“Sure, thank you”

He steps inside and takes a seat beside me.

“I’m Y/N ‘Mita’s best friend. She let me come and see production for a couple of days, I love the books and I study media so it helps with my degree”

It took Freddy awhile to warm up but soon we were chatting away, he would listen so intently and absorb everything around him. It was amazing to see.

Suddenly the door flung open and Amita rushes inside looking every wind swept.

“Oh! I see you guys have met!” She exclaims seeing Freddy and I together.

“I was just sorting out last minute arrangements for your stay, your in the same hotel as us” she explains to me. This prompted me to look at my watch which in turn caused me to gasp.

“It’s getting late and I still need to check in!”

Amita helps me with my luggage and I turn to leave the trailer.

“I’ll see you around?” I ask Freddy.

He responds by giving me a quick nod and a bright smile.

Amita giggles under her breath.

“He likes you”

———————————————

Days on set turned into weeks on set and soon I felt like part of the family. I got to meet the others and had many laughs, especially with Kit and Archie and Ben. The girls became my sisters, I loved spending my nights with Amita, Jessie and Danielle.

I didn’t see Freddy often but when I did I would always greet him with a wave and a smile.

I never really got much out of him, not since the day we actually met.

It was currently night and I was sat in Amita’s hotel room with her and and Jessie.

Amita was laughing with Jessie, telling her how we met and grew up together. I watched with a smile on my face reliving the memories in my head.

I lost myself in my thoughts and was startled when Jessie squeals and grabs me by the the shoulders.

“You didn’t tell me you could sing!”

A blush creeps over me and I lower my head.

“Erm, no no. I don’t, not really”

Jessie still spends the next hour trying to convince me to sing her something but to no avail.

I wish them both goodnight and head down the hallway to the elevator to my room.

A Ding! rings out and I step forward into the small metal box.

I small scream jumps from my throat as I see Freddy stood in front of me.

“Oh my god I’m so sorry! I should of watched where I was going” I gasp, trying to regain my breath.

“Oh no, it’s my fault, my apologies” Freddy replies before pressing the number 4 on the control panel.

Number 4, for the floor of my room.

Silence envelopes us but this time it nagged at my mind.

I couldn’t stop the words that fell from my mouth after that.

“Freddy do you not like me?”

I watched as his face fell, it was like seeing a wounded puppy and it tore at my heart.

“Why, why would you think that?” He asked, his voice cracking slightly.

“Have I done something wrong?”

I shook my head rapidly.

“Oh my gosh! No no, not at all”

I take a moment before continuing, or at least I tried to before a loud thump! caused me to lose my balance just as the lights went out.

“Freddy? Freddy what’s happening?” I panic.

“Hey hey it’s okay, it’s just the lift. Everything will be back up and running soon”

I do my best to listen to his words but I couldn’t focus.

I grab for the closest thing to me and I end up taking Freddy’s hand.

He brings me to his chest and strokes my head , whispering sweet nothings in my ear. When my panic finally subsided, I slide down the elevator wall and quietly sing that one melody to myself.

I didn’t realise that Freddy had sat next to me until the song reached its last note.

“You have a wonderful voice” Freddy mumbles and I smile at him.

“Thank you”

“And in answer to your question, I do like you. I like you so much I feel that when I’m around you I’m going to burst. You make me feel things I haven’t felt in a long time. I feel like I’m 15 again, always wondering what to say and stumbling over my words. You’re extraordinary and well ... well this ...”

Freddy leans into my face and slowly places his hand on my cheek, caressing my face just before our lips finally joined. It was a short kiss but one I that will be encased in my memory forever.

I lean in to go again but I stopped when brightness lit up behind my eyes.

The elevator was run and running. I jump up before it’s noticed that we were on the floor and help Freddy up along the way.

The doors open and I step out of them.

I turn to wink at Freddy with a smirk on my face.

“I suppose I’ll see you around?”

just one more drink||roger taylor x reader||part one

Warning(s): alcoholism

Word count: 2,291

A/N: Hello sooo this is my first go at writing anything so any constructive criticism/notes are appreciated! I’m also really new to tumblr so I have no clue how it works but I’ll be figuring it out along the way I suppose. This is more of a preview of what the story’s gonna be about but I just decided to call it part one since I wrote like over 2k words. Sorry for any spelling mistakes/grammatical errors! If this does well, I’m thinking about writing more and maybe taking requests idkkkk. Anyways, enjoy!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You did it for the thrill. Sure, the fame and special treatment was a nice plus (okay, a REALLY nice plus) but that’s not why you did it.

Being able to do what you loved for a living was satisfying in every way imaginable. Everything that you had dreamed of as a child became reality about a year ago. A few of your friends had started up a band and it shot up to international success shortly after you joined. The success of it all wasn’t a surprise, your music was amazing and creative (there were a few journalists who would wildly disagree which was to be expected of course). But how fast the fame and fortune hit was a little shocking.

As you sang with emotion into the microphone that hovered next to your crash, you hit out the last beat with a newfound energy. That was the end. That was the final song of the final show of your first international tour.

The lights cut as you tried to catch your breath. Standing, with adrenaline still coursing through your body, you ran up to the front of the stage to meet the three boys you had just spent seven months with on tour. The spotlight shined bright upon the four of you. With sweaty arms wrapped around one another, you took three big bows as the crowed roared. The sound of all the cheering was deafening but you wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. Running around the stage with the boys, you threw your drumsticks into the crowd. Okay maybe you shouldn’t have done that. Those were quite expensive. But maybe it didn’t matter. All of your shows had sold out after all. You’d be able to afford new ones and pay the rent on time for the first time since you had moved in.

“Thank you and goodnight!” your frontman shouts into the crowd.

Insisting on keeping your adrenaline up, you run backstage where there’s a raging party and loads of free alcohol. Soon, one drink turned to two which turned to four. Maybe there was a fifth? Or a sixth? You had lost count a long time ago. You were completely drunk. Stumbling through the crowd, you bumped into a man and spilled your drink, stepping back as it just narrowly missed your shoes.

“What the fu-” you stopped as you looked up and realized who it was that had just run into you. “Woahh! You’re Freddie Mercury,” you exclaimed absentmindedly. You hadn’t meant to show your excitement so openly but that last drink you’d had was really starting to mess with your head.

“Y/N darling! You were absolutely brilliant out there!” Freddie complimented.

“Thank you so much! That’s a huge honour coming from you, Mr.Mercury!” you managed to say with a half-conscious mind. That last drink really wasn’t going to let you off easily.

“Oh please, you don’t need to use those silly formalities just call me Freddie. Actually, I was talking to your manager just now about a possible collaboration between our bands. I absolutely love your work!” he said with adoration in his tone.

“That’d be amazing! I’m completely obsessed with Queen right now and in fact I’m freaking out a little right now because you’re Freddie Mercury and you’re right here in front of me and you’re telling me that you like our work,” you rambled on. Damn that fifth drink. “Sorry, think I’ve had one too many drinks. Anyways, I’ll be sure to talk to the boys about it. I guarantee you that they’ll be just as excited as I am.”

With that, you say your farewells and head back towards the party. Sure, you didn’t have all those groupies following you around like the guy had, but there were some cute guys around that you were sure wanted an in with the band. As you walk towards the noise, someone runs past you, knocking you backwards when they brush your shoulder. To a sober person, it would’ve been nothing but you definitely weren’t sober.

“Okay ouch that hurt…” you complained after being knocked back onto your ass. Looking up you saw your band’s bassist with two groupies in hand, no doubt heading to the dressing rooms for a bit of fun.

“Oh my god Y/N are you okay?” Lucas asked while reaching out a hand for you to grab. “You look absolutely shit-faced. Please don’t tell me you’re going back for more.”

“I’m fine...just lost my balance is all,” you slurred as you struggled to stand. “Just one more drink I swear.”

“No. No way Y/N. I’m gonna go call a cab to take you home.” Lucas scolded with annoyance in his voice. Pulling you up, he left his groupies behind and practically dragged you outside where the air was cold and unforgiving. Your teeth chattered and you shivered. It didn’t sober you up much but it definitely did make you more alert. “Y/N...you promised that this wouldn’t happen anymore.” Lucas said as he put his jacket around your shoulders.

He didn’t sound condescending at all. Just really...concerned. And he had a reason to be. You had promised that you’d work on your drinking habits but you always found yourself back at the bar.

“I’m sorry.” you whispered so quietly that it was almost inaudible. Not knowing what else to say, the two of you sat on the curb in silence. It was unbearable. You knew that you’d promised a thousand times that you’d work on it but you also knew that you had broken that promise just as many times as you made it.

“Look...you know I love you. You’re like my little sister and that’s why i need to tell you that this has to stop. For real this time.” he said, breaking the silence.

“I promise I’ll work on it. For real this time.” you vow sincerely as the cab rounded the corner.

“742 bluewhisp avenue please.” Lucas tells the driver as you practically collapse into the back seat. “I’m gonna head back inside. You gonna be all right?” he asked through the back window.

“Yeah. Think I’ll just go home and sleep this off,” you mumbled. “Hey and...thanks. You know, for always looking out for me?”

“‘Course. That’s what best friends are for,” he smiled sadly. “Make sure to drink some water when you get home.”

As you lay in the back seat on the way to your little apartment, you can’t help but think about how lucky you were to have such people that cared so much about your wellbeing. Thoughts of your little group that had turned into your family filled your mind as you dozed off. You didn’t want to think about where you’d be without them.

-----

The next morning you woke up to the screech of your ringing telephone from the kitchen. The all-too-familiar pain of a hangover began to take effect.

“Alright, alright I’m coming!” you yelled as you sped towards the wall, desperate to stop the awful noise.

“Hello?” you spoke into the phone while reaching up towards the cabinet for some painkillers for the pounding in your head.

“Y/N! Great you’re up!”

It was your manager.

“Yeah well now I am.” you said as you rolled your eyes, clearly annoyed that he had called you at such an early hour.

“Sorry Y/N but things are about to get a lot worse for you. We need you down at the studio in 15.”

“Are you kidding me?” you sighed, your head still pounding. “Fine. Give me 30 and I’ll be there.”

-----

You walked into the studio with dark sunglasses to block out the harsh studio lights that you knew would be a pain to deal with while you were still dealing with a killer hangover.

“Jesus Dan what’s so important that you needed us all here at bloody eight in the morning right after a big tour. Couldn’t we have pushed this back at least another da-” you paused upon rounding the corner and seeing who was sat on the couch.

Freddie Mercury, John Deacon, and Brian May were all sitting right in front of you with questioning eyes.

“Okay nevermind, I’d say that this is pretty important.” you admitted and sat in the chair next to the couch where some of your biggest inspirations sat.

“Now we’re just waiting for Rog as always,” Brian shook his head.

Although you were grateful and ecstatic to be in the presence of the musical icons that you had looked up to since the beginning of their careers, you were still confused as to why they were here in the first place. Just as you were about to ask, the phone went off. You held your head as the sound echoed until Hendrix, your guitarist, unhooked it from the wall.

“Hello?” he spoke.

“Hey it’s Roger. Taylor. Sorry but I’m gonna be a little later than I thought.”

“It’s Roger. Do one of you guys want to take it?” he asked and Freddie took the phone out of his grasp.

“Rog we’ve been waiting almost an hour already! Get your shit together and GET OVER HERE!” Freddie demanded and then slammed the phone back into place.

“Well there’s no point in waiting up for him even more. We’ll just catch him up once he gets here.” John spoke up.

“Actually that’s what I was wondering. Why exactly are you guys here? I mean--of course I’m not complaining but I’m just a little bit confused.” you questioned.

“Darling, I spoke to you about this last night! Although...you were completely drunk,” Freddie reminded you.

“Oh my god, the collaboration? But isn’t this too soon? Guys we JUST finished our tour. Last night in fact!” you spoke to your band.

“Yeah but we haven’t really worked on a big music project like this in so long, Y/N. Hell, we haven’t even worked on ANY new music. Plus, we’ll need to keep making more as soon as possible if we want to stay relevant on the charts and in the news.” Carter, your lead singer explained.

You nodded in agreement when you realized that you would most definitely get bored at home doing nothing if you didn’t have anything to work on. It would drive you insane to go from playing your heart out on stage every night to sitting around watching the television play reruns of some cartoon.

“Okay so what’s the plan?” you asked your manager who was silently chatting with Queen’s own manager.

“Well, we were thinking about taking this a different way,” their manager started. “Instead of all working together in a big group, we were thinking that we’d break you all up into sections by your role in the band. So, Freddie would work with Carter, Brian with Hendrix, Deaky with Lucas, and once Roger gets here he’d work with Y/N. Then once you’ve all come up with something, everyone will work together on the lyrics and such. You guys could make something really unique with an approach like this.”

You had to admit that it was an interesting approach to songwriting. On one hand, the music could come out messy without a flow considering that each of you would be working in pairs away from the rest of your band members. On the other hand, everyone would be able to focus on just one thing and make it the best that it can possibly be. It was a 50/50 chance.

Suddenly, the door flew open. And there he was. Roger Taylor. Drummer of Queen. Much like you, he walked in with his signature pair of sunglasses.

“Look who finally decided to show up! And only after two hours of us waiting around!” Brian called out to Roger, sarcasm thick in his voice.

“Oh come off it, I’m here now and that’s all that matters,” Roger replied. “So, what are we doing?”

After your managers had explained (again) how your collaboration was going to work, you split off into your pairs, eager to get to playing. You had already thought of a million ideas since the moment you stepped into the studio doors.

“Alright so I just thought of a little beat while they were talking,” you told Roger as you took a seat behind your drumset. You drummed the beat with energy and passion, keeping the tempo up perfectly. “So, what do you think?”

“I hate it.”

“Excuse me?” you asked taken aback by how blunt he was being.

“You heard me. That was absolute rubbish!” he laughed mockingly.

“Well then, I’d like to see you do better.” you stood and offered your drumsticks to him. After taking the drumsticks, he played one of the most generic beats that you had ever heard.

“You’re joking right?” you chuckled just as he had done to you earlier. “That was such a basic drum beat! Heard it a million times!”

“Well it was better than whatever crap you just played!”

“Was it really? Think about it again and tell me with a serious face that it was better.” you retorted. Just as Roger was about to argue, Lucas burst through the door.

“Hey we’re all gonna head out for lunch. You guys coming?”

As the eight of you walk towards the small restaurant around the corner, you can’t help but wonder if Roger Taylor would be this way through the entire collaboration. You wanted to have a good time and make music with a band you were such a huge fan of but it seemed that Roger wasn’t a very big fan of you. Maybe what they say is true. You should never meet your heroes.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N: So?? What do you think? I was really nervous to post this but I’m really glad that I did because writing this was so much fun! Again, any notes or reblogs are appreciated!

The Plan | Kaz Brekker x Sister!Reader

Requested by anon: “Could you write one where Kaz’s sister is the sun summoner instead of Alina, and he finds her at the palace after thinking she was dead?”

Pairing: Kaz Brekker x sister!reader

Word Count: 1287 (short and sweet)

Warnings: lame ending because its almost 1am and I suck. also not proof read because again, 1am. I need sleep. But I’ll read it tomorrow and fix mistakes...

A/N: As always, spelling and grammar are not my strongest skills so please be kind :)

Masterlist

Y/N/N = your nickname

- - - - -

Kaz Brekker always has a plan. He is always in control of the situation, always has a trick or two up his sleeve.

This plan was simple. Get into the Little Palace. Kidnap the alleged sun summoner. Be a million kruge richer.

He was confident this plan would work, and that even if something went wrong he and his faithful crows would know what to do. He had planned for every possibility.

The one thing he hadn’t planned for was seeing you.

He scanned the room, finding the faces of Inej and Jesper in the crowd. They each looked back at him, a subtle nod confirming they were ready as The Darkling entered the room. After a short opening speech that Kaz couldnt help but zone out from, the room was plunged into darkness as everyone silently waited for what would happen next. A mix of tension and excitement in the air.

Suddenly bright lights burst up toward the ceiling, a wave of gasps moving through the crowd. That’s when he saw you.

His little sister.

The sister he thought had died all those years ago, now stood before him as the sun summoner. He had to grasp the wall next to him to keep him from falling down with the shock.

As soon as the demonstration was over he went straight to find Inej and Jesper.

“You alright boss? You look like you’ve seen a ghost” Jesper asks.

“The plan is off.” Kaz responds, ignoring the previous comment.

“What?! But the million-”

“I said it’s off. New plan; find Arken, tell him we’re leaving”

“But why?” Inej asks

“Just do it!” Kaz snaps before turning abruptly, leaving the two crows watching him with confused faces as he rushes off.

He goes a fast as he can, ignoring the pain in his leg as he frantically searches the corridors of the Little Palace for Arken. He knows about Arken’s alliance with General Zlatan and his secret plan to kill you instead. Now he knows who you are, he definitely can’t let that happen.

His mind races as he turns a corner, crashing straight into you.

“Oh, I’m so sorry! Are you okay?” You say, placing your hands on his arms to steady him.

“Yes” he says, pulling away from you.

“Do I know you? I mean, have we met before? You seem really familiar to me” you study his face.

“I don't think so. But I am a guard here so maybe you’ve seen me around” he lies.

“Maybe” you nod, though still unsure. You feel like you know him, but you just can’t remember how. “Well I should get back to the fete. See you around” you smile and begin to walk away.

“Y/N?” He calls and you turn back to look at him “are you happy here?”

The question takes you by surprise, you think for a moment before answering honestly.

“Yes”

“Good” you see a tiny smile flash onto his face before turns away and disappears down the corridor. You find yourself watching him leave and feel a strange sense of loss in your heart, but its quickly forgotten when suddenly Baghra appears at your side, pulling you away into a quiet room.

— — — —

“I don't understand, what changed?” Arken asks.

“The plan changed. The deal is off.” Kaz explains simply but seriously.

“But why? Surely we deserve an explanation”

“You deserve nothing! You're lucky I’m not handing you over to the Darkling” Kaz snaps and Arken looks confused “I know Zlatan offered you a deal, money to kill the Sun Summoner. So now I’m offering you a deal. Walk away from here, leave her alone and I’ll let you carry on living your pathetic life.”

“And if I refuse?” Arken smirks.

“You really don't want to get on the wrong side of me” Kaz takes a threatening step closer “I can make your life a living hell. Or I can end it all together. It’s your choice.”

Arken thinks for a moment before backing down. He slumps away and Kaz watches him exit the gates of the Little Palace. Inej appears at his side and alerts him that Jesper has found a carriage they can steal to get them home. Together they head to the carriage and ride out, away from the palace. Away from you.

Or so he thought.

After travelling all night the carriage finally comes to a stop at the side of the road. Feeling now is your time to flee you carefully open the lid to the trunk you’ve been hiding in and jump out, only to find three faces staring back at you. A tall zemini boy, a short Suli girl and another tall boy who you recognise at the guard from the Little Palace. You panic and attempt to make a run for it, only for the guard to lift his cane up. It hits the trunk with a bang, startling you and stopping you in your tracks. You turn to go the other way but the zemini boy blocks that exit. They've got you surrounded.

“We don't want any trouble”

“Neither do I, so let me go and I’ll be on my way” you reply, trying to sound tougher than you feel after a night curled up in a confined space in an attempt to flee the man you thought you loved.

“Clearly you want out of East Ravka. We can help you” the zemini boy continues

“I prefer to travel alone. I refuse to be anyone’s captive ever again” you cant stop the tears that spring to your eyes.

The tall guard takes a small step toward you and you panic, lifting your hands and summoning orbs of light ready to attack.

“Woah!” The others take a step back but the guard stands his ground.

“Y/N, I promise we’re not going to hurt you” he says soothingly looking you straight in the eyes “its okay, Y/N/N, you're okay”

“No one’s called me Y/N/N in a very long time. Not since my brother…” the sentence drifts away from you as you realise who is standing infront of you “…Kaz?”

He nods, lowering his cane and taking another tiny step.

“No, no you're dead! They took your body away. I watched them do it, you and Jordie.. you were dead”

“I survived” he takes another step, closing the gap slowly reaching out to you “I’m alive Y/N, I’m here” he places his gloved hands on your arms, slowly making you drop them as the lights disappear. He pulls you into a hug “I’m here”

You allow yourself to relax into his embrace before suddenly pushing him away.

“Why didn’t you come back for me? Why didn’t you come find me?! I thought you were dead, I thought I had no one! I spent my childhood in a care home scared and alone”

“I tried Y/N, but they told me you’d died. If I had known where you were I would have come for you.”

“Why didn’t you tell me who were last night? You were just gonna leave me again!”

“You said you were happy.” Kaz looks sad “I didn’t want to jeopardise that”

You look away as you let it all sink in.

“Did you know I was in that trunk?”

“I did!” The zemini boy pipes up “I’m Jesper by the way and this is Inej”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Inej steps forward “I’ve never met a real saint before”

“I’ve never been a real saint before” you laugh “a few weeks ago I was just a map maker”

“What’s your plan now?” Kaz asks

“I have no idea” you respond honestly, shaking your head.

“Come stay with us. Not as a captive, but as a sister”

“Are you sure?”

“Of course. You never have to be alone again”

Hello there, can I request Kaz and littlesister!reader where Kaz just found out reader is actually well alive and is joining the Dregs, you don't have to force yourself on this one my dear, I love your writing <3

FREDDY EVENT, send in requests for any of Freddy Carter's characters (NOT the man himself (= no Freddy Carter (the real person) x readers), only his characters)!! The event will be on for an indefinite time, if you're unsure, see if the event post is pinned. If it is, then it's still on. (Other requests are open too, but they go to my normal to-do list which I'm not able to start doing anytime soon)

LOVE THIS REQUEST 🥰 I wrote this kinda from Kaz's POV, and I think that this might have potential for a part 2... so if you think so too, be sure to show this some love in form of comments (you can also send in anon asks if you don't wanna step forward with your url) and reblogs.

Warnings: trauma, flashbacks, mentions of death

Word count: 962

Kaz remembered that day. The water, fear of drowning, bodies touching him, screaming Jordie's and his sister's names, not receiving an answer. Finding Jordie dead, his eyes staring up at the sky without seeing, and Kaz making that disgusting decision of using his brother as a float and probably left his sister among the bodies. He knew he didn't have time to look for her if he wanted to survive. Someone had to pay for what happened, and that someone was Jakob Hertzoon.

Ten years later, he sat at his office at the Club as the leader of the Dregs, having fought his way to the top and his revenge for Pekka Rollins was finally at the reach of his fingers. Just a little more.

"Boss?" Doki's voice was heard behind his door with a quiet knock, and he let out a slight grunt, the door opening and Doki timidly stepping inside. "I... I was out uh, returning from a walk - a terrible rain, by the way, and people are-"

"Get into the point, Doki."

Doki's eyes immediately shot into his feet and he started wrangling with his hands. "I... of course, boss. Um... you have a visitor. A girl. Says she needs help with finding someone."

Kaz frowned, and continued writing. "Does she have enough money for that?"

"Um, actually she wants to join the Dregs and doesn't need to be paid. She says she's a quick learner, a great fighter and has wit, too. We'd just have to help her find out what happened to her brothers in exchange of her skills." Doki mumbled, glancing at the door every moment in a while.

Kaz sighed - he really didn't feel like taking some girl in who would most likely need guidance even though she probably thought she's skilled enough, and on top of that, she would need Dregs to run after her brothers who would most likely be either killed or abandoned her. Ketterdam was a rough city. She probably hadn't learned it yet.

So usually, Kaz would have told Doki to turn the girl away, but something in him told him that he should talk to her, see if she has potential for anything. So he sighed and gestured Doki to let her inside, laying his gaze back to his papers as soft footsteps neared his table, stopped and after a moment, the girl sat down on a chair across from him. Kaz still didn't raise his eyes to look at her, but he knew she waited for him to speak first.

"I hope you know we aren't a charity," Kaz started. He kept a brief break, and continued, "And if you want us to help you find your brothers, you have to pay it off with your skills. And we don't have time to teach you or coddle you, so if you won't prove yourself as useful, you'll be thrown out."

He still didn't look at her, but saw her shadow cast on his table nod. Then she spoke with determination in her voice. "I will be useful. I promise. I just... I just want to know if there's any chance that my brothers are alive."

But there wasn't just determination he heard - he heard something distinctly familiar in it, too. So he frowned and finally looked up, meeting her eyes. His scowl disappeared, his lips parted and he was thrown back into the sea momentarily.

It was her sister. Y/N Rietveld was sitting there in front of him.

No. He was dreaming. Another nightmare. Soon, Jordie would stand behind him and drag him under again.

But the rapid beating of his heart and how he felt like he couldn't breathe reminded him that this was not a nightmare. This was real.

Y/N stared at him, frowning - did he recognize him too or was she just puzzled about Kaz's terrified expression?

After a moment, Kaz could gulp air in again, and used it to rasp out, "Out."

She stared at him, probably even more puzzled about what was happening. Kaz took in another breath, and shouted, "Get out!"

Y/N jumped up on that moment, hurrying away from the office and Kaz heard her steps echoing in the stairs. Kaz closed his eyes, trying to even out his breathing and eventually, he succeeded in it.

He sat there in silence, carefully going through that night again - did he see Y/N in the boat, or had he just assumed she was there with him and Jordie? Y/N had been less sick than the two of them, even being able to help them drink. Could there have been a possibility of her surviving the Plague?

He wasn't sure if he wanted to find out. He didn't know if he wanted Y/N to know the man who he had become - to let her know her brothers actually were dead. He had just been reborn, and the man he was now most likely wasn't someone she wanted to call her brother anymore.

The sound of soft footsteps from the window made him open his eyes. Inej looked at him with a concerned frown, carefully making his way to him. "Are you okay, Kaz?"

He swallowed, realising she must have been outside during him driving Y/N out. He nodded, pursing his lips. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"That young woman seemed to make you feel upset. I've never seen you like that, Kaz - who was she?"

He shrugged, staring at the wall. "That's not your concern."

Inej studied him for a moment, but then sighed. "I guess not, then."

And with that, she had already gone out, leaving him alone once again with the sound of rain against the windows and the light crackling of fire in his fireplace.
