I wanna post about my recovery + ramble in tags at the same time but I'm not motivated enough to come up with a mediocre yandere post rn , so just know that my life is going?? Somewhat good in terms of romance
#mine#💿#i can only ramble in tags. posts feel too official im shy</3 i feel like tags are less likely to show up on search engines as well...#just forever paranoid about the blog being discovered you know how it goes. personal stuff (proceeds to post it online)#in the general scheme of things im doing alright. tho im currently obsessed with a game instead of a man so idk if that counts#feels like im just waiting for an important event to happen. like ill have a great life changing thing but rn im just in limbo. waiting!#i dont mind it because i take joy in the small things in my day to day life but i feel like i should be doing bigger things. doing more#hell. BEING more. theres lots of cookie cutter paths i could take but none of them fit the mould im making yk. its boring.#on one hand im proud of myself for being able to stay focused on my interests instead of wasting time on a guy who doesnt care abt me#like i still am doing that a Little Bit but its not as detrimental to my daily life as it used to be. like its fine now#on the topic of.. him. we dont really talk much but i feel theres sort of a weird air between us now and he could tell i was in the yanzone#im not too broken up about it because i repeatedly told myself this would happen n i knew it would but everythings okay as it is rn#i still do admire him but not as intensely. the moment he stops hinting at even the possibility he could be interested my attention drops#i want to be everything but at the same time i want to be nothing. i want to be god and the earth and the sun and death and disease.#im working up to being perfect but at the same time i know no such thing exists so meanwhile im just. working up. to SOMETHING#i want everyday of my life to be an adventure. at the same time im much too tired for that. guess thats why i stick with emotional trifles#im not in love with him or anything. its the same as everyone else. like various dials in a lab that i have to keep below 50#or else bad things will happen. like a scientist with anxiety. its like i be insane for a little while and the dial goes down#but any others could easily skyrocket because i find little things i adore about one person and latch onto them!!! like art#i feel im the most socially acptble level of yandere out of them all rn. in insanity specifically tho. in othr aspects im still weird#the power of autism is condemning me from learning proper social skills but by god i am TRYING my hardest n learning new things#i sit around waiting but atleast im building skills while doing it. part of what life is about i guess!#you come for the yandere content and then i just post philosophical rants. a tragedy most awful to those who can relate#but im okay with it as long as these strange lengthy rambles help me recover better!! no problem at all. one day i will be better#tl;dr i havent found love yet but im not miserable either. trying to improve myself through numerous mental quarrels n experience

❁ Watermelon, Surfing & Butterflies
summary: meeting JJ & him becoming an absolute simp for you at first glance
“Alright I’m here” JJ announces as he walks into the surf shop. John B glares at him. “JJ we opened two hours ago.” The boys finally opened their surf shop they dreamed about, but we struggled with the actual working part.
JJ glances at you, who looks around the shop confused. As if,you’re not sure what you’re looking for. JJ could feel his cheeks flush just by looking at you.
You were wearing a flowy sundress, covered with tiny flowers, a bunch of brightly designed bracelets on your wrist, and dangly earrings of a shape he couldn’t make of.
Everything about seemed like you walked out of a Jane Ally—Jane Alston—Jane whatever book Kie mentioned. That didn’t stop the urge he felt to walk over to you.
“You’re right. Going to get started right now” JJ says walking towards.
“Wait really—Oh ok “ John B tells him a teasing tone in his voice.
JJ glares at John B but still continuing making his way toward you.
“You need help” His questions startles you as you been focused on trying to find what you were looking for.
“Oh um no thank you—actually yes please” JJ smiles which makes you feel at ease.
“Do you know what surf wax is. I attempted surfing the other day & I kept slipping off my board. I’ve got like five big bruises to prove it. Anyway the internet said surf wax was supposed to help with that.” You ramble.
“You live in OBX & are just surfing now?” It was rare to find someone at Outer Banks who didn’t know how to surf.It was staple there.
“Ohh i’m not from here. I just moved here. I start college here. I mean technically it’s community college. I decided if I can only attend community college then I might as well attend somewhere pretty.” JJ wouldn’t be so sure about the pretty part, but he wasn’t going to crush your fantasy.
Butterflies. Your earrings are butterflies, JJ finally noticed. JJ interrupts his starring and realizes you’re waiting on him to answer your question.
“Oh surf wax, yeah we have surf wax. “ He says, directing you towards the section where it’s located. He points out all the different scents before you finally decide on watermelon.
You were about to leave the store, thanking JJ for his help before JJ blurted, “You know, if you're still struggling with surfing we offer lessons.” They don’t, that wasn’t a thing.
“Really?” You ask hopeful. Any help you could get would mean so much.
“Of course, just stop by any time & Ill teach you” JJ knew how much of a fool he was making of himself, how desperate he looked but he couldn’t stop the words from coming out.
You let out a smile. A genuine smile, one that instantly causes JJ to make it his life mission to have you smiling all the time.
Once you leave the shop, JJ turns around to find John B & Sarah watching.
“Shut up. Shut up. Shut up” JJ mutters but is ignored by John B mocking him.“Oh I’ll teach you”

In Sickness...
Jake Seresin x Aviator!Reader
Tumblr media
Summary: Jake feels his pulse jump and his stomach fly when he talks to or about you. Obviously, this must mean he's gravely ill.
Notes: mentions of a cheating boyfriend, jake convinced he's sick when really he is in loooveeee
Masterlist
Tumblr media
“Hey, Hangman, can I talk to you for a minute?”
Jake, despite his usual goal of doing everything in his power to get on Phoenix’s nerves, finds himself ignoring the need to be quite annoying. His antics aside, he knew his fellow aviator well enough by now to recognise when she was up for his shit, and when she absolutely wasn’t.
That doesn’t mean he’s not going to be a little bit of a douchebag, though.
“Give me a second, Trace, I’ll need to start my timer.” he makes a show of observing his watch and starting a countdown from sixty seconds. Phoenix ignores him, and in place of possibly giving him a dead arm, she instead comes to a stop in front of him, her arms crossing over her chest in a way that was just a Natasha Thing, and not actually a sign of closed body language-thing
“You’re going to be at Mav and Penny’s later, right?” she asks, even though he knows he’s never given the impression of having any other plans, and she knows it. Jake simply nods, still pretending to count down.
“Right. Well… maybe take it easy on Cricket tonight, okay?” Phoenix asks him, her voice soft and quiet in a manner that makes Jake mess up his countdown, and subsequently drop his wrist and the bit entirely.
“I’m under the impression that I always take it easy on my favourite member of the orthopteran insect family,” he poses, and it's not untrue. He didn’t snipe with Cricket like he did with the others, mostly because she never sniped back, so trying to maintain a faux adversarial relationship would just be boring. No, Cricket was far sweeter and more wholesome than literally anyone he’d ever met, like Elle Woods had a lovechild with Barbie, and instead of banter, he’d found it irresistible and perpetually rewarding to tease her about her Certified Disney Princess status.
(Jake will never let her forget the time a small child at the beach approached her to ask if she was a mermaid, and that wasn’t even the only instance he’d witnessed something like that happening.)
 Phoenix shifts uncomfortably in front of him and purses her lips.
“Look, just… give her a break tonight,” she pushes. Jake frowns even deeper, his own mood becoming solemn now.
“What's wrong? Is she alright?” the questions leave his mouth before he can really consider perhaps only asking one, to keep some semblance of cool. Phoenix dances from foot to foot again and nods, but then quickly makes the universal noise, gesture and expression of ‘well, no, actually’.
“She, uh, broke up with her boyfriend a few days ago.” Nat reveals, and oddly, it's the last thing Jake was expecting to hear, and the last thing he’d expect her to divulge to him.
“Oh.” he says, a little unsure of what else to say. Blinking rapidly, Phoenix starts nodding again, this time in a sort of commiserating manner, as if they often gossiped.
“Yeah, she came home to find the prick was fucking one of his colleagues…” She all but spits the words. Her hands form fists where they’re still tucking into her folded arms.
“She's actually really torn up about it, but you know Cricket. She’s not very good at not being positive, you know? So she’s just bottling it up, and I figured, maybe your usual game with her might not be so lighthearted right now. You know she would never tell you if you actually hurt her feelings, so…” Phoenix manages to catch herself before she descends into a full on ramble.
In all the years he’d known her, Jake had only ever witnessed Phoenix fully ramble once, several years ago back in Lemoore, when she and Halo had downed eight shots in ten minutes, and she then proceeded to give him a thirty minute TEDTalk about how cockroaches were basically just incredibly simple AI machines, interrupted every so often when she dozed off against his shoulder, only to pick right back up like nothing had happened.
Pushing the memory aside, Jake takes in her words slowly before at last he releases a deep breath.
He actually finds himself a little taken aback by the sheer depth of anger that lances through him at the thought of Cricket being treated like that. Nobody deserves to be cheated on, but Cricket was simply someone that Jake doesn’t believe anything bad should ever happen to. Around the same time he comes to this conclusion, Jake also becomes aware that as his anger simmers down, he’s struck with the need to seek out his squadmate, and comfort her, something which, if Jake is honest with himself, is not something he has much experience with. He was much more likely to offer space to someone in need, so this sudden urge causes his brow to furrow.
Jake chooses to compartmentalise this oddness for now, but makes a mental note for later to figure out when exactly he’d developed such a strong fondness for Cricket, and more importantly, how exactly that had happened without him knowing.
For now, Jake just gives Pheonix a level nod, and what he hopes is an expression she takes to mean he understands. He then tries to get a hold of his rogue fondness and leashes it with what he thinks is a brotherly, friendly reaction, a more normal reaction for him to have towards his squadmate.
“Does she want him punched or something?” he asks, feeling as though anything more would reveal too much of his scattered, fond thoughts. Jake purses his lips when he realises that ‘fondness’ was quickly becoming an understatement he’ll have to address at some point.
Phoenix's lips curve into a genuine smile, and she chortles softly, shaking her head.
“Well, you’ll have to get in line if she does. I’ve got first dibs.” she states, cracking her knuckles and then her neck, making Jake snort, and shrug, glad to know that perhaps he wasn't the only one suddenly feeling protective.
“I’m sure we could come up with a wrestlemania-worthy finishing move, a la The Hardy Boys to sort him out.” Jake chortles, imagining he and Nat in matching championship belts, and ignoring her raised eyebrow. He knows from that one movement alone that she is filing this information about him away to whip out like a trap card, but compared to the other information she might have gleaned from his reaction to the situation, he doesn’t care so much.
(Besides, Jake felt no shame about his love for Attitude-Era WWE, and if he ever gets the chance to repay her for the thirty minutes of cockroach facts he could have lived his whole life without needing to know, well, now he knew exactly what his topic of choice would be.)
Tumblr media
Four hours later, Jake, for some reason, cannot stop thinking about his conversation with Phoenix. He tried chalking it up to the fact that it was an unusual request she’d made of him, but he knows that is bull. Jake is far too invested all of a sudden in your personal life, in your feelings, in a way that honestly, he never has been before. Or at least, has never realised before, because the more Jake lingers on the idea that you were cheated on, he has to confront the fact that these feelings might just have been there all along, and that actually, your happiness and wellbeing are extremely important to him.
He keeps his distance when you arrive with Halo at Penny and Mav’s, but he eyes you hawkishly anyway, uncaring if he’s obvious about it or not. He wants to believe that if he hadn’t known, he’d have spotted your much more reserved demeanour immediately, but honestly, he's not really sure of anything now when it comes to you. Jake isn’t sure if Phoenix spoke to the others, if he was just the last to know, but there is an air of tenderness in the way the others greet you, which wasn't entirely unusual in itself, yet the softness is palpable even from where he sits on the other side of the yard.
He watches you put on a good show, smiling sweetly at Penny as she rushes over to say hello, but the moment you dont think others are paying attention, your features fall and Jake decides that it is basically unacceptable for you to look that sad ever again.
When you disappear through the backdoor, to put the share platter you’ve bought into the fridge he assumes, Jake doesn’t even excuse himself from the conversation he’s supposedly in before he’s beelining for the house. Behind him, he can vaguely hear Javy and Payback protest, but he doesn’t pay them any mind.
Jake steps through the sliding back doors quietly, closing the door behind him and shutting out the rest of the barbeque, if only for a few minutes. He moves softly through the small back room and towards the kitchen, once more surprised to find out just how pleased he is when you turn to look at him right away. That was new… or was it? Jake thinks perhaps he should stop trying to figure things out.
“Hey! Jake!” you greet cheerfully, and he’s comforted a little that your smile reaches your eyes.
“I didn’t catch you this afternoon, so I didn't get to find out your fruit platter preference, but Javy told me anything but pineapple–” you launch right away into friendly conversation, and oddly, this small normality brings him comfort too, after his afternoon of quiet worry. Jake nods at your words as you continue explaining your fruit platter, and if he hadn't other things on his mind, he would have voiced his amusement at the fact you’d somehow managed to cut or arrange all the fruits into the shape of jets.
Anger bubbles in him once again, at the idea that anybody would do anything to cause you to be upset. You, who cuts fruit into themed shapes, and who makes sure to ask every member of the team their food preferences, and who, he’s almost certain, has made the yoghurt dip you're currently unwrapping completely from scratch just for this casual get together.
How could any sane person know you, know how sweet and caring and fundamentally, altogether good you are, and still choose to do something that would hurt you?
More importantly, how could a man be with you and want anyone else?
Jake takes a step forward and fixes you with what he hopes is not an expression that reflects his inner anger, but gives off something more like softness. He’s not sure he’s ever really had a serious conversation with you before, especially not one that wasn't about work, so he’s surprised how natural it feels to show you something more genuine than his usual playful amusement.
“Are you alright?” he hears himself ask you, almost regretting it when your expression drops immediately, and you look away from him, back to your fruit platter which you now seem to be pointless rearranging just so you don't have to look at him. You attempt to wave him off after a few moments, plastering a smile on and scrunching your nose as you continue to not look at him.
“I’m okay. Really. Things weren’t right for a while, so it’s sort of a relief, really.”
Jake thinks that maybe in a few months time, those words might actually be believable, but Phoenix was right. You were such a naturally happy and uplifting person, it’s clear to Jake that you were struggling to let yourself be sad or angry about it all.
You seem to be expecting him to speak, because you glance back at him several times before you seem to really get a look at his face, at which point you stop messing with your platter and turn to face him properly.
“Thank you for asking, though, I… I really appreciate that,” you murmur, wringing your hands together, before realising what you’re doing and smoothing them out over your sundress instead. Jake feels his pulse speed up. Or maybe it slows, he’s not sure, he just knows that his heart beat becomes irregular, and before he knows what he's doing, he’s stepping even closer towards you.
“Cricket,” he begins, a frown beginning to crease his brow, which your eyes flicker to consciously, as if you were concerned about his feelings. “Just say the word, and his nose will be irreparably broken. For the rest of his life he’ll be telling people it's an old football injury. Maybe he’ll even need surgery to fix it enough that it’s even remotely normal again,” Jake watches your eyes widen and blink as he speaks, but he makes sure to keep any trace of humour from his voice, so you properly understand just how serious he’s being. “Hell, it doesn't even need to be his nose. I’ll break his collarbone, I've heard that's the most painful in the long run…”
When you let out a soft sound halfway between a laugh and a sigh, Jake almost thinks he needs to rephrase his offer, but your soft smile and the almost shy look you shoot at him before you drop your gaze for a moment assures him you understood that he wasn’t joking, even a little.
“Sometimes…” you purse your lips and frown, struggling to find the right words, but you begin wringing your hands slowly again and the movement seems to lend you some confidence. “Sometimes I really wish I could be more like Phoenix… or, more like anybody else, really–” Jake has to physically clamp his mouth shut to stop himself protesting that point and let you talk.
“Sometimes, I wish I was someone who would take you up on that offer. I… I feel like I should want to want that… but I don’t…” you trail off and sigh again, but this time, the exhale seems to take a weight off your chest, like simply admitting these feelings out loud was what you really needed.
You look back up at him properly, and smile again. Jake thinks his pulse has stopped altogether now, and begins to seriously consider reporting to medical first thing Monday morning.
“But, I promise that if I ever change my mind about the severe breaking of certain bones, I’ll know exactly who to talk to.” Your smile widens just slightly, a little mischievous almost, like even just joking about it was very cheeky of you. Jake on the other hand, just believes it to be the only correct course of action.
He opens his mouth to respond, but you begin talking again, dropping your fidgeting hands to hang more relaxed at your sides.
“A lot of my life I haven’t really been surrounded by people who’ve looked out for me, or folks who I can really trust… and I know we’re not really friends, more like work friends, but–” you suddenly cut yourself off and shake your head with a little chortle.
“It doesn’t matter, ignore me–”
“–We’re friends.” Jake can’t stop himself from protesting this time. You blink at him like this is surprising to you. “We are friends, Cricket… I know I–” Jake cuts himself off like you had just done and grinds his teeth a little. This was not a conversation he went around having very often, if ever, at all. “You know I wouldn’t poke fun at you if I didn’t care. I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t think we were friends,” he says, hoping his words didn’t give away exactly how much he cared. You seem to search his face, but you’re nodding, as if he was the one who needed assuring in this situation.
Jake starts to wonder then if he was actually becoming seriously ill, and all of his reaction to this afternoon has just been one big fugue episode. That idea is genuinely more believable to him at this moment, that Jake is really, actually currently unconscious in the on base hospital, with a skyrocketing fever and some other terrible things, than all of this sudden personal change and inner realisation happening so naturally and smoothly and without him having a say in it.
But then you’re smiling at him again, bright and genuine and all thoughts of climbing fevers and sudden illness evaporate. As sad as it sounds, Jake would never dream of you smiling at him like that, the sight so affecting and sweet that he could never come up with on his own. However, he does conclude he’ll probably be seeing it a lot in his dreams from now on. He thinks this should cause panic in him, he should not be planning to dream about one of his squad mates smiling at him, but unsurprisingly to him now, panic is the furthest thing he feels about it.
“Well, I just know that I’m not always good at asserting myself, but I know that you guys… you guys will do it for me.” You give a little shrug. Jake feels a little shame then, that he’s worked with you for several months now and has not once picked up on the fact that you were completely aware of your own tendency to be a bit of a pushover.
It dawns on him that every time he teased you for being ‘too nice’, and every time you laughed or shook your head in amusement, the real joke was on him. It’s a joke that Jake doesn't find particularly funny right now. He’s not sure he ever will.
“Sorry, I’m being so dramatic and grim!” you say suddenly, and this time your mood change isn’t fake or put on. Jake shakes his head at you, and at last feels some of his regular programming begin to seep back in. He chooses to make a show of leaning back against the counter and carefully crosses his arms over his broad chest in a way that he knows looks incredibly sexy (Javy has assured him), a small smirk slowly spreading over his features.
“Cricket,” he drawls out slowly, somewhat relieved that he feels more himself again. You double take as you look back up at him from where you’ve started fiddling with your fruit platter again, your eyes blinking rapidly as you now quickly try to avoid his whole side of the room. Jake’s grin grows ever so slightly when he has your attention, even if you seem too nervous to look at him now.
Unlike most of the women Jake had worked with, you didn't seem to try to, or perhaps you simply were unable to, hide the effect Jake had on you, how he could so easily make you flustered. It's not something he’s totally unfamiliar with, after all, plenty of women around the Hard Deck were the exact same, but the fact that you aren't some civilian looking to get laid, and are in fact one of the best aviators he knows, makes it all the sweeter.
(Jake had once tried to reconcile the way you handled yourself in the air, with the way you were at all other times, but he could never quite do the maths on it, so it was better for his brain if he didn't think about it at all.)
Honestly, Jake knows his getting a reaction out of you is an act of self ego-stroking, but he loved making a spectacle of himself, just to watch how you would sputter and go all mushy, and if he’s even more honest, a big part of his enjoyment lay in the thought that perhaps, he was doing you a favour, giving you something to think about, boyfriend be damned. He supposes he doesn’t need to worry about that being a problem anymore.
Jake then pauses then, and wonders when exactly you having a boyfriend had become a ‘problem’, a threat to him specifically, because the more he thinks about the idea now (hypothetical as it is), the more his skin starts to itch under his shirt.
Perhaps he was getting sick after all.
“Yes, Jake?” you ask, still avoiding looking his way, and trying to use a tone of voice that was either exasperated or ignorant, but your slightly higher pitch gives you away.
“You didn’t say that I was your friend, too,” he faux complains, watches you shake your head a little, but fail completely at keeping the smile off of your face.
With your platter now deemed ready, you pick it up and turn toward him, holding it out for him to take. Jake, without thought, does so.
“You are my friend, too, Jake,” you tell him, far more sincerely this time, and Jake feels his pulse do that odd thing again. He swallows thickly, and nods, before you direct him out the back door.
For the rest of the afternoon, Jake can’t help but hover, never moving too far away from where you are, and when he doesn’t have an excuse to linger close to you, he always keeps one eye directed your way.

Painful Petals | Aleksander. M
A/N: Its based off that one tik tok audio Warnings: softer!aleksander? Fem!Reader WC: 1485
Part two
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You smiled at genya as she fiddled with your hair.
“What is it?” She questioned with a small, tired smile. “I’ll miss this with you genya…” She tilted her head to the side curious at your words.
“You’ll just be moving rooms after the fete, not like you’re going away….you’re not leaving, right..?” She questioned.
“No, but it’ll be a bit different around the palace after tonight..” You trailed off, thinking of a certain newly found couple in the little palace that included your husband.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
As genya walked out of your room and towards Alina she ran into aleksander who paced around the halls.
“Ms Saffin.” He greeted.
“General.” She nodded back. As she went to turn into alina’s room she stopped in front of the doors and turned to aleksander.
“Is lady kirigan alright?” She questioned, making aleksander raise his head and look at genya with an unreadable expression.
“Why do you ask?” 
Genya shrugged.
“Just seemed off this morning.” She said before walking into alina’s room to get her ready for the fete.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
You looked at your dress with a heavy heart, it wasn’t your husband’s black, it was a dark green gown. 
Tears fell as you looked over your closet and noticed the farthest item in the back being your wedding kefta. 
You sighed before wiping away the tear and closed the closet doors before walking towards your bed and opened the nightstand.
WIth shaky hands you pulled out an old journal, you flipped through pages til you found your desired page.
“Hanahaki Disease | Death do you part.” 
Your tears fell down your face as your felt a dreadful cough crawl up your throat.
It had begun before alina had arrived to the little palace, when aleksander hid his affair with zoya from you. 
You noticed in the beginning you delt with weird petals in your coughing fits, you had panicked and ran to a healer where they claimed you as fine.
The second thing you took note of was when you had coughed up flowers buds and thorns mixed in.
When you had discovered the journal you had been tempted to hide it away, it wasn’t till you had hard time breathing properly you went back to the journal to read the rest, you had learned of your condition and kept in silent, it was already hectic with the new sun summoner around.
You had brokedown when you found out the outcome of your illness, you had grown to accept your fate, who knew possibly the saints were going to reward you for being brave by dealing with the illness by giving you a loving life in the next.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
You smiled as you greeted guests who passed by you.
“That’s general kirigan’s wife, poor thing hasn’t got a clue..” Two ambassadors gave you pity looks as they noticed zoya walking by aleksander who spoke ivan and feydor.
“Saints, bless her..” They whispered as you excused yourself to walk over to aleksander.
“Gentlemen.” You greeted, making them turn to you and greet you back.
“May i steal him away for a bit?” You questioned, your arm looping aleksander’s for support.
“Of course, lady kirigan!” You smiled and walked yourself and aleksander to the nearest balcony.
“You look nice tonight, aleksander..” You smiled as him as you let yourself go from his arm and held onto the balcony railing.
“You as well.” He looked around the balcony and noticed your gaze on the dark sky.
“I still remember when you snuck us out to see the stars..” You chuckled to yourself.
“You remember that?” Alexander asked, surprised.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
“I don’t we should be doing this, what if we get caught by someone, we don’t have a chaperone..” You rambled as aleksander helped you onto his horse. 
“Well, i’m their general..” He tried to argue back.
“Oh my bad, you’re the general, that changes the story now!” You both laughed as he had the horse trott through the forest.
“Where are we even going?” You questioned, looking around at the passing trees.
“You mentioned, the palace grounds were always to lit to see the stars.” He turned his head to see your embarrassed expression.
“You remembered?” You smiled as he slowled the horse down and helped you get down.
“Why are you surprised?” He chuckled as you looked at the sky with a wide grin.
You both had sat on the grass and watched the stars for a bit before your spoke up.
“No ones snuck me out of my room to show me stars, thank you aleksander..” You turned your head to him where he smiled at you.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
“Had a hard time explaining why I had grass stains on my nightgown..” you both laughed at your words.
Before aleksander could say anything else, ivan came to tell aleksander of the lantsov’s.
“If you excuse me..” You grabbed aleksander’s kefta sleeve.
“Before you go, i just wanted to tell you, that you were a wonderful husband experience..” you smiled, sadly at him.
“Thank you, now i must go greet the lantsov’s.” 
You left go of his hand with a heavy sigh, you quietly stood out on the balcony, weeping at your upcoming fate.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
As you walked into the palace you watched as alina and aleksander do their demonstration.
You felt your stomach twist as you caught the way he stared at her, it was how he looked at you during your wedding.
Without anyone noticing you had ran to your new room, all of your things had been put away and set in their correct spots.
Finally being alone in your room, you broke down.
You cried over the lost of your marriage, your husband and soon your life.
You had questioned why the saints were torturing you by the thoughts of your husband with alina or zoya.
A rough cough came out of your mouth, bloody rose buds fell out of your mouth along with petals and thorns.
You gasped as it got stuffier in your lungs to breath properly.
Your eyes watered as you fell to your knees, giving up as a rose blossomed out of your throat, choking you out.
Your times with aleksander fled your mind as you laid on the floor, accepting your fate.
He was a wonderful experience.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
A scream from down the hall made alina and aleksander jump from their position on the war table.
As the pair tried to brush it off a rapid knock on the doors made aleksander sigh and moved away from alina to answer.
“Yes, what is it?” Aleksander was taken back, it was a tearful genya and sorrow looking feydor who stood in front of him.
“Lady kirigan…” genya broke down as she tried to explain it.
“We’re sorry…lady kirigan has..passed on.” Feydor explained, aleksander stood up at the news.
“Excuse me?” He questioned. 
The pair lead him to your room, where the servants had laid you in your bed, ivan watched over with a pitiful expression.
Aleksander walked over towards your bed and noticed the curtains surrounding the bed were drawn closed.
He drew back the curtain and froze at the sight of your body. 
There you laid, lifeless. A bloody rose blossomed out of your mouth, ivan had been the one to shut your eyes to let your rest.
“What happened to her?” He questioned, his hand running to your hand were is was barley warm anymore.
“A servant found her on the ground with bloody flower petals and thorns around her..” Ivan explained.
Aleksander kept his eyes on the rose. “Everyone out.” He commanded, his voice wavering a tad.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Once the door had shut, he let tears fall as he held your hand.
“I had just seen you hours before, you were fine..what happened?!” He ranted, shaking your hand, hoping for you to stir and tell him it was a cruel harsh joke.
Memories of you played in his mind as he held your hand to his cheek.
“You look nice tonight, aleksander..” You smiled as him as you let yourself go from his arm and held onto the balcony railing.
“You as well.” He looked around the balcony and noticed your gaze on the dark sky.
“I still remember when you snuck us out to see the stars..” You chuckled to yourself. It was nice to hear your laughter again.
“You remember that?” Alexander asked, surprised. It had been years since. 
“I had a hard time explaining why I had grass stains on my nightgown..” you both laughed at your words.
Before aleksander could say anything else, ivan came to tell aleksander of the lantsov’s.
“If you excuse me..” You grabbed aleksander’s kefta sleeve. 
“Before you go, i just wanted to tell you, that you were a wonderful experience..” you smiled, sadly at him.
“Thank you, now i must go greet the lantsov’s.” He rushed off, unbeknown to him, it would be the last time he left you behind.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
“You were, my everything.” He whispered quietly.

country club bathroom part 4
Tumblr media
words: 800
warnings: 18+ only, smut, p in v sex, protected sex
part one / part two / part three / part four
you feel giggly, giddy as rafe has his arm around your shoulder, walking you towards tanneyhill.
you're so out of it, so excited and distracted by the sudden public display of affection that you don't even realize there are other cars sitting in the driveway until you're inside, coming face to face with ward cameron in the entryway.
“this is y/n.” rafe says. he doesn't use any label, but it's clear from how your arm is around his waist, gripping his side, that you're more than friends.
“y/n…” ward mumbles the name, trying to place why you look familiar. “don't you work at the country club?”
“yeah.” you nod, not sure what else to say as the silence stretches, until rafe breaks it by clearing his throat.
“we are uh, seeing each other.” he leaves it at that. 
“boyfriend girlfriend?” ward asks, making you stifle a giggle as you look at rafe, his cheeks turning pink, still embarrassed at being caught by his parent, even if he is a grown adult.
“i mean we haven't worked out the labels yet…” rafe mumbles.
“yes, sir.” you stop rafes rambling. “boyfriend girlfriend.”
“alright…” wards eyes flicker between the two of you. “be safe.” he says before walking away, your eyes widening when you realize what he means.
rafe hurries you up to his room after that, not wanting to encounter any of his other family members.
“did you mean what you said?” rafe cups your cheeks, pressing a peck against your forehead, then nose, then lips.
“about being your girlfriend? i mean you haven't asked me yet sooo…” you mumble, making your intentions clear.
“be my girlfriend? ive known country club workers who have dated members before, as long as it's serious they never get in any trouble.”
your heart warms a little at rafe considering your job, not wanting you to lose what he knows is a precious source of income for you.
“yes.” you nod. “yes, of course ill be your girlfriend.”
“perfect.” rafe hums, pulling you towards his bed. you kick your shoes off before you crawl up, slotting yourself on rafes lap as he lays against the pillows.
“want you so bad.” he mumbles, grabbing your hips and pushing them down into his crotch, dragging you back and forth so you can feel every inch of his length, even through the layers of clothing.
“yeah?” you smirk, slowly unbuttoning his shirt. “because you have me.”
the words send rafe into a spiral, instantly flipping you over, and before you know it, you are both naked, rafe having ripped both of your clothes off, his cock now sliding through your folds, only willing to tease you and take it slow now that you're both naked.
“remember what ward said.” you manage to gasp out, even as the head of his cock pushes against your clit. “be safe.”
“right, fuck.” rafe has to pull away to reach into his bedside table, to grab out a condom.
you take the foil from him the second it's within reach, smirking as you place it between your teeth to rip the packaging open. 
reaching down, you slide it over his length, suddenly looking a lot bigger now that he's going inside of your cunt instead of just in your mouth.
“fuck, your hands are so good.” rafes eyes shut as he hovers over you, your hand stroking up and down his cock. you smile at his clearly blissed out expression that you've seen so many times before. you angle his cock to line it up with your entrance, hand falling away when he begins to push his hips forward.
“oh fuck.” you whine out, arms wrapping around rafes shoulders as you tug him closer. he is slow to bury his cock inside of you, wanting to make sure you have plenty of time to adjust to make up for his lack foreplay, but he just couldn't wait to get inside you.
“m… more. it's okay.” you mumble. “i can take it.”
“mmm, you sure pretty girl?” rafe asks, a smirk playing on his face. when you nod and raise your hips slightly, rafe takes it as his sign, suddenly speeding up and deepening his thrusts. 
“shh, shh.” rafe presses his lips against yours when you moan a little too loud. “the walls aren't completely soundproof.”
he knows you're probably fine, but with sarahs room next door, he doesn't want to take any chances and get caught.
“sorry.” you whimper, still moaning but managing to keep it quieter, even when rafe reaches down and rubs his fingers over your clit, already knowing just how you like it from all the times in the country club bathroom where he flipped up your skirt to touch you.
“gonna have to fuck you somewhere no one else is around.” rafe says. “need to hear your moans.” “so you’re not gonna fuck me at work in the country club bathroom?” you giggle, nails scraping down rafes back.
“oh no.” rafe shakes his head, pressing a kiss to your mouth. “i’m gonna fuck you there too.”

So on the topic of iterators playing video games, this:
Tumblr media
which is a part of the set of holograms Iggy can show Moon after Rivulet powers her back up. Which based on the colors, grid, and way the tiles change, is probably Moon and Pebbles playing the iterator dominoes
(It's funny to think one of first message Moon sent to Pebbles after hundreds of cycles was essentially "Hey you wanna play games")
(I need Saint playing Dominoes with Moon now)
I'm beyond mentally ill for those two! I'm very aware of their domino shenanigans. If you pay attention to Moon's projections you can see a lot of neat stuff. Actually let's talk about that!
I think them playing together is just so.. fitting and beautiful. It's such a simple way to connect with others. Playing games is one of the easiest ways to build or rebuild friendships. Any kind of games. Something casual you can talk and share while you do. And those two have plenty to talk about.
Aside the games though..
Ramble about a bunch of her projections in Saint and Riv campaigns below! It was very fun!
Moon also remembers her various slug cat companions through the cycles.
Tumblr media
She tells Hunter how she wishes she could remember them. And now she can. Moon can remember her savior and remember just how hard her family and peers tried to contact her, to reassure her, to show how they cared. Even this image on it's own speaks a lot. Moon couldn't have taken it, because she was offline before that key ended up in her chamber. So it was Iggy. One of the overseers she no longer has control over yet tried to help her anyway. It's sweet.
Tumblr media
It makes it canon that Monk met her and gave her two neurons! A thoughtful and kind creature.
Tumblr media
Pet pictures of course! Here is little demon baby.
Tumblr media
Moon also has pictures of the local group in the distance! She never stopped trying to look after them and be a local group senior. Checking up on them in the only way she really can. I think that's sweet.
And what honestly breaks me is uh..
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
These. She also never stopped being Five Pebbles' administrator.. or more accurately his big sister. Checking up on how he is doing and the situation with his rot. It just makes me ache a little. It's been way too long for her to be angry anymore. She can finally talk to him and they both know it won't be for long.
Moon also has pictures of Silent Construct.
Tumblr media
Unless I am mistaken of course. But I get the idea that she has trouble reaching him. Or she can't find him. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Moon's overseers can’t reach Five Pebbles anymore. I don't think she'd stop being his company otherwise. Silent Construct is a place that has crumbled very badly and who knows in what state overseer tunnels are.. especially with the dense scavenger populations, it must be difficult to reach him.
Tumblr media
Of course we also have the fallen buildings of her local group in the distance. No longer standing. Their time is over.
Tumblr media
And! Something a little more fun is that she has a projection of the Moon. Looks to the Moon alright! How silly and sweet.
Hope you like the view Moonie.

hello lovely !!
— 🪩 dance floor — with the prompt ❝ now you want me like i wanted you? ❞ for carlos sainz? thank you <3 !!
too late
and one day you'll grow tired and it'll be too late frat!carlos x reader 800-ish words warnings: n/a ?
d rambles. . . this took too long and for no good reason. i hope this was alright. thanks for requesting!! <333
Tumblr media
anger had never come so easy. it flows, like waves rushing to kiss the shore. but the rage felt more like the riptide, like being pulled under angry currents and your lungs burning for air. 
you let carlos drag you through the tailgate, too furious to care about the curious stares and not-so-sublte whispers. you let him pull you along, allow him to lead the way until cold autumn air is blowing against your skin and the buzz of conversation dull behind you. carlos doesn’t turn right way, but he lets your go when he’s sure that you’re both out of earshot of the crowd of drunk college students. 
his hands are on his hips for a second before the right one is pushing his hair back aggressively. you clock the way he grips at the base of his locks, tugging before releasing and doing it all over again. his warm breath is smoke in the cold hair, comes out in quick clouds of aggression. you stand there, arms crossed across your chest, weight pushed onto one leg while the opposite foot taps impatiently.
“do you have something to say? because if not i’m gonna go back-“
“why are you here?”
your head jerks back, posture straightened and eyes squinted as you look him up and down. “excuse me?”
he turns, head in his right hand as he shakes it left to right. “with him. why are you here, with him?” 
him. him? 
“max?” carlos picks up his head, brown eyes down turned to compliment the scowl embedded into his face. you scoff, brows knit closely together. “he invited me.” 
“you listen to everything max says?”
a shot to your chest, the anger turning to humiliation, before quickly turning to rage. “you don’t get to talk to me like that, to throw some bitch fit because im here hanging out with a friend. let me be perfectly clear, a friend. max invited me— in fact you want to know who else invited me?”
“shut up.” 
you don’t. “lando. oscar. daniel. charles—“
“enough!” his chest heaves, puffs of hot hair coming out quicker, accompanied by eyes no longer warm and welcoming. “bragging is not very becoming of you.” 
“and jealousy isn’t becoming of you.” 
the anger, the jealousy, it mixes in the quiet. it mixes with poorly mixed drinks and cheap canned liquor. with the time spent apart, with the impending realization for carlos that maybe this time it really is over. but the worry a comes later. instead panic manifests itself in an ill kept temper and words he’d soon regret. 
he smirks, hides the way his heart trembles. “so how long do you need with your friend? a week, two?” 
you scowl, lurching forward to press a shove into his chest. he only takes a step back, a half amused hah coughed from the back of his throat. “fuck you carlos.”
“its only a matter of time,” he taunts, “you know it’s true. you’re mine.” 
your hands are shaking by your side, breath rattling in your lungs. there are tears, there are always tears when it comes to carlos. he’d seen every version of them, the ones pulled by hurt, or triggered by sadness, even the one caused by rage. he’d seen everything because it’s who he is. what he does. all this anger, all this pain, it’s always because of him. 
“i was never yours. just because you say it to me over and over doesn’t make it true. i am not yours.” 
who were you convincing? god you were his. irrevocably, unforgivingly his. and you resent yourself for the way you know it’s only a matter of time before you’re back in his back, back under his spell, and not doing a damn thing to stop it. your affections for the spaniard is a boulder rolling down a hill— unstoppable and bound to ruin everything in its path. 
but the rage makes you brave, makes you believe that this time it’ll be different. 
carlos tucks his index finger beneath your chin, tilting your head up at him so that you can see the warmth in his eyes, the lies they tell you. “you’ll always be mine.” he whispers. 
“not always. one day, i’ll grow tired of you.” 
“tired. of me?” he hums, shaking his head as his finger traces along your jaw, up the side of your face and pushing your fringe behind your ear. 
you find it in you to push his hands away, to push away the touch your skin had been craving since you had called it quits weeks ago. 
“what do you want from me carlos?”
“i only want you. i always want you.” 
a humorless laugh escapes your lips, a miserable smile curved onto them. “now… now you want me? now you want me like i wanted you?” 
a bit of silence. a bit of worry. a bit of regret. 
“well maybe you’re too late.”

i like your previous update
One more request 🥺
When you unconscious during a fight
Because you overwork yourself
Hello! I hope you meant &Team otherwise this is awkward 😅 (Also, I like to overwork myself, it is my form of therapy lol 🤣)
Masterlist
&Team reaction to their s/o fainting during an argument
Warnings: fainting, bit of angst
Word Count: 1004
Tumblr media
-K
-This guy is a hothead, alright, but he would see the signs you showed of feeling unwell or ill so he tried to be a bit less harsh
-But he did not realize you were so ill you would faint. Absolutely startled when he watched your body fall to the ground.
-Immediately by your side and trying to wake you up but is unsuccesful for the first couple minutes until you finally do
-Absolutely scolds you (with tears in his eyes) that you should take better care of yourself and how much you scared him
-Forgets whatever you two had fight over beforehand and hugs you tightly against him
-Fuma
-The argument was probably about you not taking enough care of yourself as he had watched you get worse and worse
-When he was trying to prove his point, you fainted and he felt his heart sink in his chest
-You would wake up on your bed with a wet cloth against your forehead and a glass of water on the nightstand with painkillers and a note
-'You are the most worrisome person in this world. Take the painkillers, drink some water, I'll be right home with food x'
-The cold was both nice and cold which did not make sense at all.
-Fuma would arrive minutes later with your favorite food so you could still talk things out while regaining energy
-Nicholas
-My man had never called 119 (Japanese Emergency Number) as fast as he had when you fainted during your argument
-Absolutely shaking and trembling when he explained to the help-line what had happened
-You'd wake up before the ambulance arrived but Nicholas made you stay on the ground as he knew you'd still be dizzy
-Stays by your side the entire time even when the doctor is checking you for your vital signs and blood pressue
-When you seem to be just fine (maybe low blood sugar) he hands you a coke and lets the doctors leave
-Clings to you afterwards and never lets go, afraid you'd faint again.
-EJ
-It was a mild argument but it was serious enough to talk about it inside the kitchen in the afternoon.
-He watched you hold onto the kitchen isle and frowned but did not say anything until he saw how weak you'd become
-Didn't let you faint and instead sat you down on a chair as he got a glass of water for you
-Would sit next to you, rubbing up and down your arm gently as he encourages you to drink a little
-You'd soon feel better but the argument was long forgotten. Ej's just glad you're okay now.
-Yuma
-I say this at every oportunity but Yuma is a hothead!
-Will not notice anything until you've completely blacked out
-He would stare at your unconscious body for a moment in pure shock before he scrambled to get his phone and call 119
-Explains to the emergency line what happened but begins to ramble and does not know how to stop because of the pure panic
-When the ambulance arrived and checked your signs (probably when you're awake) he just stood there and watched
-Would complain about how much you scared him afterwards and ask you to never push yourself to that point again
-Jo
-Again, I wholeheartedly believe you never end up in a bad fight
-But argument happen (even if he tries his best to avoid them) and you're trying to talk things out
-You'd feel terrible suddenly and tumbled to the ground
-Jo called Ej because he had no clue what to do and the poor boy was panicking
-Ej called an ambulance for ya'll and explained to Jo that he should get you some drinks and food for when you'd wake up
-When you're checked by the doctors and have consumed a bit of the food Jo had given you, he'd stare at you with teary eyes
-"I thought I'd lost you."
-Please hold this man
-Harua (this time I didn't forget, aha!)
-Ya'lls arguments are usually easily resolved so just when you two had apologized to one another, you'd feel a wave of nausea wash over you
-He watched it happen and screamed when you hit the ground
-Tried to shake you awake to no avail which is when the panic probably started to set in
-Didn't even think to call the emergency number because he was freaking out
-When you did wake up and asked him for a glass of water this guy returned with water, chocolate, an apple and three cans of coke
-Helped you up towards the couch and hugged you as if you'd disappear if he'd let you go
-Taki
-He was listening to you explaining your point of view of the argument when he noticed you'd act weird
-He called out for you but you did not respond. After a second, you fainted.
-Taki was happy it happened inside the dorms because he could call out to K who came over and calmed him down a little
-When you'd wake up, K would give you some water before he'd leave to give you some privacy.
-You were sure Taki had never hugged you as tight as he had in that moment and stroked your hair to remind himself you were okay
-Maki
-You'd been complaining about a headache all day which he was reminded of when you'd faint during the argument you two had
-He knew it wasn't healthy to not eat or stay hydrated when it was so warm during the day so he wasn't very surprised when your body shut down
-Still freaked out a little but got you some coke (with lots of sugar) and an apple before sitting by your side and stroking your hair
-You'd wake up confusedly and he'd help you sit up while explaining what had happened
-He'd make you drink the coke so you'd at least have a bit of sugar in your system before he'd scold you for being so reckless

Telekinesis | Rhea Ripley
Tumblr media
Pairings - Rhea Ripley x Ex-Bsf! + Wrestler!OC
Warnings - Against, Mentions of bruises, Rhea is violent, Sad Rhea , Sad OC, Just angsty Tbhhh :((
Word Count - 0.5k
NOT PROOFREAD ‼️
"What are you too insecure-" You were cut off when she slammed you against the ring post. You felt a sharp pain in your shoulder as you tried getting up.
" Stop talking to me like you know me" At this pint she was screaming in your face. Taunting and punching you.
Although this may have seemed somehow planned. Everyone backstage as well as the commentators were confused. You felt just as shocked by her random outburst. You felt your head pounding as she continued her attacks on you , it seemed as if she was trying to get something out of you.  But you had nothing to give. She was the problem. She caused the chaos between you two.
Soon she began talking again. "You know nothing about me and the struggle I went through to get here , so don't try to act like you do,"
The pain was unbearable and getting up was almost impossible. 
You felt like you could already feel the bruise forming on your shoulder as you tried standing up. But without warning , Rhea Swung the kendo stick in your direction, where did she get that from? The swing of the kendo stick caused a huge impact to your head, you pass out.
When you woke up , you were in the hospital. Wires around your arms. Your eyes felt droopy and blurry as you tried to open them wider. You suddenly heard the door open as you saw a black haired woman stand in front of you. As your vision slowly started unblurring , you relised it was her. The women who had put you in this situation in the first place. Rhea Bloody Ripley.
You heard her whisper something , that your ears couldn't quite reach.
"Im sorry , im so sorry Lara," you took a second to figure out what she was saying before she kept talking. Why was she using your government name? She hadn't called you that since you two were close. Before she ruined the friendship you two had.
"I know I hurt you bad, but I didn't want it to get this bad," She spoke again. It sounded like she was on the verge of tears as she ran her tattooed hand through her hair.
Looking down and seeing the state you were in , your stomach turned. You had cuts and bruises in places that wouldn't even be reachable while in your gear. You felt tears well in your eyes as you looked back up at Rhea, who was too stuck in her rambling to even notice the tear that rolled down your cheek. But when she did , she felt like the world had piled up on top of her.
"Listen Rhea I know you're sorry , but I think I need time to myself for right now. You've done enough damage,"You spoke. Your voice was sweet. Salutary. Almost like Rhea hadn't completely ruined your life in one day.
"Alright... if thats what you want, ill leave," those were the last words she spoke to you since , you had found out you couldn't be cleared to wrestle. You felt as if your world was crumbling when you found out. It felt like you didnt know who Rhea was anymore. She switch on not on the most important people in her life, but the person who cared most about her both mentally and emotionally .Which was you. And the fact that you wouldnt be cleared to wrestle in atleast a month , was the cherry on top. And it was all because of her. Rhea Ripley.
Tumblr media

Pairing - Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw x daughter!reader
Word count - 1,028
Warnings - colds, medicine, mentions of Goose and Carole, mostly just fluff
Summary - you're sick with a cold but thankfully your dad is by your side to help you feel better
A/N - hey y'all it's new fic time! this was a lovely anon request so I hope I did the idea justice because I always wanna do right by y'all! I won't ramble, as per y'all, please send in requests, feedback and enjoy!!!
Tumblr media
Like every child. You were prone to getting sick quite easily. At four years old, your immune system was still developing and so it was easy for a small bug that wouldn’t bother someone like Bradley to bother you. It always broke Bradley’s heart when you were unwell because there was only so much, he could do to make you feel better and he felt powerless.
This particular instance, you weren’t massively ill. You were running a slight temperature and you had a bad cough, but Bradley was relieved when he took you to the doctor’s and learnt it wasn’t cause for concern. As long as he kept you home to rest, gave you medicine and plenty of fluids, you’d recover in no time. When he had arrived home from the doctor’s, he called your kindergarten and told them you wouldn’t be in for a few days before texting Maverick to let him know he needed to be at home until you were well enough to go back to kindergarten. Bradley then took you upstairs, figuring you’d want to rest in your comfy bed.
“Okay, y/n/n. You wait right here and I’m going to get you some medicine. Sound good?” Bradley asks as he goes to put you down on your bed, only stopping when you whine in protest and cling tighter to him.
“No, daddy. Don’t leave.” You whine hoarsely, burying your face in his shoulder.
“Oh, honey, you’ll feel better if you rest. I’ll come back.” Bradley tries bargaining with you, fighting to not crumble when you pull away slightly and give him your famous puppy dog eyes.
“Wanna stay with you.” You whine once more, making Bradley fall apart right then and there.
“Okay, fine. Come on. Let’s find you some of your medicine.” Bradley says, scooping you up in his arms and carrying you to the bathroom where the medicine cabinet was. He manages to find your medicine easily since it was at the front of the cabinet, but he had a much more difficult time trying to open the bottle and pour it on the spoon when you were refusing to let him put you down which meant he only had one free hand.
“Alright y/n/n. I have to put you down, okay? It’ll be quick, I promise. I’ll sit you right here in front of me, give you the medicine and then you can have some more cuddles. Does that sound like a plan?” He bargains, sitting you on the counter right in front of him as promised and sorted out your medicine as quickly as humanly possible. Your bottom lip juts out in a pout when Bradley brings the spoon of medicine towards your mouth, and you shake your head fervently in protest.
“Yucky.” You state, glaring at the spoon in front of you as Bradley shakes his head with a soft laugh. Oh, if Carole and Goose could see him now, they’d be laughing their heads off. Carole always told Bradley that when he was younger and he got ill, he’d be an absolute menace when it came to taking his medicine so much so that his parents had to tag team in order to get him to take it. It was clear you inherited your hatred of medicine from your father.
“I know. But it’ll make you feel so much better.” Bradley says, watching as you consider his words before looking back up at him.
“Promise?” You ask, beginning to trust your dad but needing the promise to solidify your choice.
“I promise, sweetheart. Now come on. Open wide, this plane’s gotta land somewhere.” Bradley then says, miming as if the spoon was one of the jets he flew and ‘flew’ it towards your mouth, even mimicking the sounds of the engine as you giggle before taking the medicine once it reaches you. Once you’ve swallowed the medicine, Bradley puts everything away and scoops you up once more in his arms.
“There we go. That wasn’t so bad, was it?” Bradley questions with a grin as he bounces you on his hip slightly, eliciting a laugh from you that was quickly replaced by a cough.
“Okay, let’s get some rest, shall we? Do you want to lie on the sofa and watch a movie?” Bradley then asks, getting a nod from you as you wind your arms around his neck and snuggle closer. Bradley heads downstairs with you in his arms, first making a trip to the kitchen to fill a bottle with water for you and grabbing a few snacks before heading into the living room. Jokingly groaning as he eases himself to sit down after putting the bottle and snacks down on the coffee table. He lies across the sofa with you atop his chest and he pulls the blanket that sat on the sofa across the two of you tucking it around you more than himself.
“I wanna watch Lilo and Stitch please.” You request, snuggling as close as humanly possible while Bradley nods, finding the movie and hitting play before he wrapped his arms around you to give you the cuddles, he bragged had healing qualities. You barely made it half an hour into the movie before dropping off to sleep. Bradley looked down at you to check on you and smiled softly to himself. He knew from the second he laid down with you that it was just a matter of minutes before you’d fall asleep. You hadn’t slept well through the night before, and he knew the medicine could cause drowsiness. Bradley wanted you to get more sleep so he remains still so you can get the rest you need. He carefully placed the back of his hand against your forehead and was glad to discover your temperature had gone down since he last checked. Bradley then pressed a soft kiss to the top of your head, running a gentle hand up and down your back as he allowed his own eyes to slip shut so he could join you in sleep.
Sick days weren’t fun for anyone. But with a dad like Bradley, you knew you were in the best possible hands.

⦁When fears and worries rob you of your sleep, Prompto will tell you with that sweet voice of his, that everything will be fine. You will hear words full of love that will make your heart laugh again.
⦁He will probably freak out if you get hurt or catch some illness. He will take good care of you, but overacting sometimes.
⦁On the nights when you are in his arms, he is even more tender and loving than he already is. He loves you and the little one in your belly. Sometimes he sings to his child. Softly and in a gentle voice, while he lovingly looks at you and caressing your belly.
Nyx Ulric:
Tumblr media
⦁ Your pregnancy is not planned at all and you are afraid to tell him that you are expecting a his child.
⦁ Nyx is speechless at first and just stares at you with wide eyes. You don't know what's going on in his head and what he's thinking about, and that makes you very nervous. Does he want this child? Is he going to freak out now?
⦁ Your anxiety grows as no reaction comes from Nyx. But when he sees your tears and the sad expression on your face, he wakes up from his trance. He can't stand to see you so sad and immediately wraps you in his arms "Hey, hey... it's alright. It's okay."
⦁ Nyx is very loving and also understanding. He loves you more than anything. As time goes by, Nyx becomes more and more excited that you are expecting a child from him. A little being that grows inside you. A greater gift you could not offer him.
⦁ However, he is concerned about whether he can provide you and the baby with the life you deserve. He will do anything to make you happy.
⦁ His worries are great, but when he sees you, full of joy and also full of love, he forgets his fears. In you he has met his soul mate.
⦁ Your nights are full of love and passion. Nyx shows you how beautiful you are and how much he desires you.
⦁ Nyx and you become even closer.
⦁ Nyx will no longer risk his life so recklessly, for he has a great responsibility. He chooses his missions carefully and is highly concentrated.
⦁ He informs himself about pregnancy, gets books and guidebooks, so that he is prepared for the coming weeks and months. He supports you where he can, because he knows that pregnancy is not an easy thing.
⦁ When your baby is born, he doesn't leave your side and when he finally sees this sweet little creature, his beautiful blue eyes shimmer with tears. "I love you. Both of you", he says as he strokes your hair and kisses you full of love.
Cor Leonis:
Tumblr media
⦁ You have been trying to have a child for a long time, but it doesn't happen so easily for you.
⦁ The more time goes by and you don't succeed, the more unhappy you are about it. It is your greatest wish, but Cor also wishes to start a family.
⦁ You start to doubt yourself and are afraid that Cor might leave you. Even though you know deep inside that he would never do that. He loves you and wants to share his life with you.
⦁ But one day, when you think all hope is lost a small miracle happens, You can hardly believe it, but it happened!
⦁ Cor can hardly believe it when he comes home and you give him this beautiful news.
⦁ You kiss each other in tears, Cor showers you with kisses. He can't put into words how happy he is. Lovingly he embraces your face, looks at you with tears and smiles. "I love you, Y/N."
⦁ He lifts you in his arms and takes you to the bedroom where he loves you with passion. It's a long night of you making love. You lose all sense of time, because you are in your own world, forgetting everything around you...
⦁ Cor works less to be there for you.
⦁ You take many walks in nature and when you are not feeling well, he lovingly takes care of you.
⦁ You love his kisses on your belly, you like the way he looks at you; full of love and affection. You have found the man to spend the rest of your life with
Gladio:
Tumblr media
⦁ Gladio is completely shocked at first. This was not planned at all! He literally panics!
⦁ He becomes louder, asks you how this is supposed to work? Because as I said, it was not planned at all! He thinks he is completely unsuitable as a father. He has other obligations and can not also take care of a child!
⦁ His extremely negative reaction shocks you. You try to calm him down, but Gladio is much too upset.
⦁ "This shouldn't have happened! Damn it, Y/N!" He doesn't think about what he's saying "What are you doing to me, Y/N?!"
⦁ After that sentence, you can't hold back your tears and Gladio sees that too. He sees your shocked expression and immediately regrets his words. But we know how stubborn he can be and he doesn't even apologize to you at first.
⦁ He leaves the apartment, because he first needs a clear head. He must gain distance from you in order not to hurt you even more. Gladio really regrets his words, but he needs to be alone for now.
⦁ His friend Ignis manages to calm him down and give him some advice. As a result, Gladio calms down and his feelings don't take over his mind. Rational thinking is now the order of the day.
⦁ Gladio really loves you very much and he wants to be there for you.
⦁ When he comes home and finds you crying in your shared bed, it breaks his heart. He asks you for forgiveness and holds you tightly in his arms. "I am so sorry. Please, forgive me. Please, Y/N..."
⦁ He knew what an idiot he had been and deeply regrets it.
⦁ Gladio is very gentle and affectionate in dealing with you. He treats you as if you were made of glass.
⦁ And if anyone is rude or rough with you, oh, God have mercy on them! He becomes overprotective.
⦁ He shows a lot of understanding when your hormones go crazy.
⦁ Lying in his lap, he strokes your hair and is so happy about the course his life has taken.
Ignis:
Tumblr media
⦁ When you tell Ignis the happy news, he is overjoyed! You made him the proudest man in the world. His beautiful wife brings new life into the world! Who would not be happy and proud?
⦁ You both knew from the beginning that you wanted children. You didn't want to wait long to have them and now you are going to be very young parents.
⦁ Ignis takes care of you as if you were the greatest treasure on earth. Well, he did that before, but now his protective instinct has also become stronger.
⦁ Ignis cooks you meals that are healthy, but also very tasty! So no boring dishes, just really fancy things!
⦁ Ignis knows that you are going through a special time and that you need every support, and you will get it from him. He does most of the housework because he doesn’t want you to overwork yourself.
⦁ He will prepare baths for you, with fragrant oils, and petals of flowers. And while you take a bath, he admires you, caressing your belly, while he keeps looking at you gently. Full of love.
⦁ He often makes trips with you. Your favorite destination is Galdin Quay. There you spend passionate nights together.
⦁ Sometimes, you sit on the beach at night and look at the stars in the sky. You talk about your future. These evenings will remain in your memory for a long time, because they are very special.

" tighnari takes care of a sick reader… "
ft. Tighnari x GN!reader
cw: all fluff, tighnari sass!!, tighnari being a 10/10 caretaker, not proofread
Tumblr media
>> 🍁 kazuha's musings: no notes, just send me more requests pls i wanna write more!! i might do another ver of this but with cyno sequel/follow up to this fic here!
Tumblr media
Tighnari is quick to notice when you’re feeling ill. You had just gotten back from a trip to Mondstat, more specifically Dragonspine, and had seemed to catch a cold once you got back home. Of course, he’d already expected this would be the outcome, constantly lecturing you to be careful when traversing Dragonspine’s frosty and snow-covered terrain; but it seems that you took his advice too lightly, casually telling him you’ll be fine.
It’s quite funny, really, Tighnari being your long-time romantic partner yet constantly worrying and lecturing you whenever you did something unsafe like a concerned mother. This was the way Tighnari always had been and you’ve already gotten used to his endless lectures and so on…
Forest rangers always seem to tense up and lower their heads in shame when being given one of Tighnari’s never-ending lectures, but you just listen in silence, shaking your head in fake-annoyance and lightheartedly saying it’ll be alright. Tighnari cares about you. A lot. Your safety and well-being is his utmost importance.
Once you got back from Mondstat, you endlessly detail your experiences and funny mishaps during your trip to Tighnari; yourself seemingly not noticing how exhausted you are.
Tighnari’s ears angle downwards in worry, stopping you in your words and placing a gloved hand against your forehead. His face is slightly scrunched, eyebrows furrowed and lips pursed while his kind eyes stare at your complexion.
You tilt your head in confusion; “What?” a light blush was dusted across your cheeks and ears, Tighnari noted, but you didn’t seem embarrassed and the temperature of the rainforest was stable at this time of day, so you couldn’t have been flushed from the weather.
“Did you do as I asked before you left?” Tighnari’s gaze subtly shifted into a concerned one, eyes softening feeling your body temperature, “You’re warmer than usual..."
“I did, I promise,” you shook your head and smiled reassuringly, “I even used the Pyro-infused heatpack you gave me.”
Tighnari hummed, seemingly not convinced “Just get a good sleep tonight, if it gets worse let me know.”
The next morning, you were nowhere to be found. Worriedly, Tighnari took a detour to your hut and found you huddled up in your bed with a fever. Thankfully for you, he didn’t need to make the trip back because an arrangement of herbs and medicine were already accorded for in Tighnari’s bag.
He’ll give an off-handed remark about how you “Should have been more careful.” and to not spontaneously roll around in the snow without a winter jacket on, but Tighnari would rather let you rest for now. Once you’re better, you’ll be able to listen to his ramblings that usually fall on deaf ears.
This isn’t his first time taking care of someone sick, it’s a common occurrence in Tighnari’s day-to-day life due to Collei’s chronic illness and tending to young children who’ve accidentally scraped their knee while playing or caught a fever. Almost everyone comes to Tighnari for matters like this, and he’s all more than ready to play that role as a loving caretaker.
“I need you to sit up so you can take this medication..” his demeanor is radiating patience and tenderness, eyes calm as he speaks in a way that soothes your ears.
Reluctantly, you oblige, slowly sitting up from your bed that’s in disarray to see Tighnari enter your view. Your fuzzy vision eyes him pour a dosage of medicine into a silver spoon, Tighnari turning back to you. He motions you to inch closer where he sits, which is on a wooden stool situated by your bedside.
“Is it gonna taste bad…” you mutter; you coughed into your elbow hoping it would clear up any of the junk that stained your dry throat. Tighnari laughs almost lightheartedly, knowing that you already knew what the answer would be.
“The worse it tastes, the more it’s gonna help you get better.” the attempted reassurance makes you frown, praying that your tastebuds won’t feel the sour bitterness that immediately enters your mouth once Tighnari guides you to gulp it down. The taste is enough to make you gag, but you swallow your pride (and the medicine) and take it without saying a word.
“Oh, and drink lots of water, too.” he pulls out a canteen of fresh water from his bag, pulling up his chair so he sits slightly closer. He presumes you’re too tired to hold the canteen and drink yourself, so he cups your chin and tilts your head back a bit, letting the fresh liquid trickle into your mouth.
His own face flushes a pretty pink while watching you take the beverage, finding the blush that spreads across your face and unkempt hair to be quite adorable. He shakes his head and scolds himself. You’re sick right now, why is he thinking about kissing you?! Tighnari’s surprised and mortifyingly embarrassed that he’s thinking about such things during your time of need; letting you gulp down a good amount of water before quickly standing up from his position.
He fakes a cough into the fist of his hand, “Is there anything in particular that you want to eat?” Tighnari looks at your form that’s huddling back into the bedsheets; you mumble something incoherent, but he’s still able to make out what you said.
Soup. He nods, telling you he’ll be back before exiting your hut. Although the request is quite vague, he goes for a simple soup with a variety of vegetables and fish as the meat. When he brings back the dish to your hut, he finds you curled up on the bed sleeping peacefully like a cat. He smiles, setting the tray down by your nightstand and quietly sitting at the edge of your bed to not disturb you.
He hears you whisper something, supposedly in your sleep “…nari….” his name? He stares at you inquisitively, a soft snort of amusement coming from your sleeping form. "You're so clingy.... when you're sick, hehe..."
Oh. So that's how it is, Tighnari's eye twitches, maybe he shouldn't take precious time out of his day to take care of his lovely partner after all. He sighs to himself, sitting beside you and swiftly brushing his tail against your face teasingly; watching your face scrunch up and eyes squint open.
Unamused eyes met yours, "Morning, sunshine."
"I-It's already morning...? Ah, shoot! I'm late for my patrol-- ACHOO!" A loud sneeze interrupts your short haze of panic, Tighnari gently sushing you and pulling the covers over your chest again.
"Hey, I was just kidding; you can rest," he returned back to his caring persona and eased you back into bed, motioning your gaze over to the tray on your beside "I just need you to eat something and you can go back to sleep, alright?"
You mumbled something incoherent, nodding; coughing into your elbow as a fruitless attempt to rid of your dry and mucus-filled throat. Tighnari has a spoonful of a fairly appetizing-looking soup, blowing soft puffs of air to cool its temperature and slowly bringing the spoon to your lips. A part of you wanted to shy away as it was rare for Tighnari to coddle you like this, but the stuffy fog of your sickness made you gladly take the spoonful in your mouth. It tasted amazing, something both warm and comforting yet light in flavour and fresh in ingredients.
"Taste alright?" he hummed, a small smile on his face when he saw your tired eyes slightly sparkle when you tried the dish. You nod fervently, happily gulping down the rest of the soup that temporarily distracted you from the limbo of sickly pain your body was in.
Afterwards, Tighnari made you take more medicine, the bitter note coating your tongue washed down wish a flask of river water. You sighed, leaning backwards until your back hit the comfort of your mattress; eyes wandering to your boyfriend. "Tighnari..."
He turned his head, kind eyes attentive in its gaze. You shifted uncomfortably in your bed, pulling off the covers while gesturing your arms outwards "I'll get better faster if you sleep with me."
Normally these words would be coming out in a lighthearted and slightly flirtatious tone, but the rasp of your voice and fuzzy vision made it sound incredibly endearing to Tighnari. He shook his head and chuckled, "And what if I get sick?"
"Collei will take care of us..." you replied back. You huffed, satisfied to yourself when Tighnari seemed to easily agree to your (in hindsight, brash) request and crawling into what little space was left in your bed.
You moved to your side to face Tighnari, lazily pulling the thin covers over his back and closing your eyes peacefully. A gloved hand moves to your cheek, brushing a stray strand of hair so he could get a better look at your flushed features. He smiled, tail brushing over your thigh and tickling your skin. Tighnari could feel his own mind begin to stir, his eyes closing with your shallow breaths fanning across his face. "You're hopeless.." he muttered lovingly, finally bringing his mind to sleep.
A week later, Tighnari fell ill with a cold as well.

You should talk about the remnant parasite au more you really should i am wiggling my magic fingers at you and casting a spell at you that makes you talk about your interests and ideas forever💥💥💥💥💥
WAHHH it took me a hot minute to get to this ask but I am smiling big and wide and am ready to ramble about this AU. I may repeat some information from previous posts and some info might be different since I ACTUALLY THOUGHT ABOUT IT more. This will mainly be about Xylitol Nova's fall to the parasite and is somewhat of a preamble to the Cyborg stuff.
WARNINGS: Talk of Parasites, Terminal Illness
Xylitol Nova is infected with a parasite caused by his Xyl-Suit breaking during his search for XyL-Q. He seems alright for the first week or so on the ship that the Xylitol population is stuck with living in. After which, Nova begins to show small signs of infection. They're minor things. Mouth pain, eye aches while waking up, anxiety... And appearing a bit out of it now and then.
The leader "goes missing" for recovery, which essentially is him going into hiding (none of the other residents aside from Xylitol Researcher know) in one of many residential rooms on the ship while Researcher gives him the usual check-up.
Give it another week, and the symptoms have not gone away. If anything, they have gotten worse. Not to mention Nova being alone in his containment, as comfortable as it is, does not help his mental state. Thoughts of violence and destruction that once cropped up very rarely appear in his mind more often, scaring Nova much more than it should.
Researcher arrives to give Nova another check-in, getting some... odd results from the scans that they run. They run it again, and... It's shown to them that the infection that their leader has is sourced from the very thing that destroyed Planet Xylitol. The parasite is attached to Nova's heart.
Researcher emplores Nova to make an announcement for recovery, because despite all this, he doesn't want his citizens to worry about anything. Especially not after the whole disaster they've endured. Nova reluctantly agrees.
Before any more notes can be made, Researcher is spooked by the whites of Nova's eyes being blackened. They're blood-shot, but rather than blood, it's some black bile produced by the parasite.
Other symptoms that Nova experiences over time: Blood being replaced by the black bile, lethargy, an increase of violent thoughts and an increasing desire to act on those, a lowered ability to take in nutrients, replacement of existing teeth with much sharper versions, various aches and pains ranging from mild to debilitating, other parasitic symptoms...
Rather than having only Researcher working on this task, Nova permits them to have a group of medical staff (hence where Cyborg comes in). Progress is slow, practically non-existent.
The leader becomes less and less peaceful and willing to participate in tests and scans. There's a moment where Nova nearly wails his staff on Researcher but stops himself just before. The horror between those two lingers and only becomes worse the more time passes.
And though Nova becomes more intent on destroying others, after a particularly bad scuffle with Researcher, he stops attacking them. Particularly them. Testing is resisted, but Researcher isn't harmed. It's odd- as if there isn't a point to that any longer.
Researcher has the idea of throwing Nova into space or just. Killing him outright. That way the infection doesn't get any worse- though that only means the parasite would spread through the rest of space. This thought scares the hell out of them and gets them to check themself for any form of infection. And, unfortunately, the readings come back positive for the black hole's remnant parasite.
Not only have they caught the parasite, not only is the leader unable to act like himself and needs to be actively restrained in due time, but... Testing the other medical staff almost all come back positive. With no progress on slowing or stopping this parasite, the ship may very well be doomed. It doesn't help that the infection's symptoms halt any progress between staff members.
Note the Almost. Cyborg, not being a Xylitol and being made of different components and bodily composition, is resistant to the parasite. They essentially become the last hope the more the parasite spreads and the more hosts it begins to inhabit.
[WE ARE XYLITOL. YOU CANNOT BEAT US.]

But I'm in the Business of Losing Your Interest - Robert Chase Imagine (House MD)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Title: But I'm in the Business of Losing Your Interest
Pairing: Robert Chase X Reader
Based On: Come Over
Word Count: 1,013 words
Warning(s): insecurities
Summary: [Season 1] Robert and (Y/n) visit (Y/n)'s parents. Something about being home- about seeing him in their home- brought forward feelings and fears that (Y/n) was certain they had buried.
Author's Note: Hey, look! Kyli wrote a piece about Robert Chase that doesn't involve roasting the shit out of him! It's a damn miracle!
STICK SEASON - NOAH KAHAN WRITING CHALLENGE MASTERLIST
-------------------
"Wow."
One word that could hold a thousand meanings based purely on the tone it was said in. I wish I had been better at discerning tone, maybe I would've avoided rambling at awkward times if I was.
Robert was visiting my family for the first time. He had met them before when I invited them out to dinner, but this was the first time he was seeing the house that I had grown up in.
The idea made my chest tight, and I truly couldn't explain why.
"I know it's not a huge place," I said quickly, eyes catching on every part of the house that looked even a bit worn. "And it's kind of in the middle of nowhere. And a bit old. My parents adore it though. They put a lot of care-"
I stopped talking when Robert reached over and grabbed my hand. I looked over at him. He was already grinning at me.
"It's nice," he promised. "Come on. Your parents are waiting for us."
My parents were standing on the porch when we got out of the car. They both walked over to greet us as we got our bags out. My mom and dad hugged me. My mom hugged Robert before my dad reached out to shake his hand. I almost rolled my eyes watching the very firm handshake.
"How was the drive," my mom asked.
"It was gorgeous," Robert commented. "Looked like a postcard."
I grinned. It did comfort me a little that he thought something like that.
"Isn't it," my mom gushed. The beauty of the nature around the house was a major part of why they had bought the property. "Well, we set up (Y/n)'s room. We don't really have the space for a guest room, but if you guys are uncomfortable then we can figure something out."
"I'm sure we'll be fine, Mom," I touched her arm. She nodded.
The two of them decided to stay downstairs to get dinner put together while Robert and I went to put our bags away.
I had to fight the urge to cringe as we walked into my childhood bedroom.
It wasn't embarrassing. Just plain. Boring.
"Look at that," Robert muttered, walking ahead of me as I shut the door. He placed his bag at the foot of my bed as he stared out the window. "You got to grow up with this view?"
I chuckled and nodded, going to place my bag next to his before sitting on the mattress.
I looked around the room.
There was that feeling again. That tightness in my chest.
I had never considered myself boring before. Not before Robert started working with Gregory House and his team.
Robert would come home almost every day with some story about some rare illness popping up, some weird thing his boss had done, or just something that seemed so... interesting.
It made my stories feel like they could never compete.
I tried to keep it from going to my head, but it was getting harder to know that I was the less interesting part of his life.
And now... being here... seeing him here was just amplifying that feeling.
I felt so plain.
The little plain room with the basic decorations. The basic grades and basic clubs. Nothing special through school, nothing special after it. I was meant to be the background character in the story. How long did I have before I had bored Robert so much that he finally left?
"(Y/n)?"
I hummed, blinking at him a few times.
"You alright," he asked. "You look a bit... lost."
I was about to nod. Nod and ignore the problem. All I had to do was say that I was fine and move on.
But I couldn't bring myself to do that.
"Do I bore you?"
"What?"
I almost immediately wanted to forget that the thought of asking had even crossed my mind.
"Why would you ask that," he stepped over. I looked down at my lap. He knelt in front of me. "(Y/n), look at me."
I looked at him albeit reluctantly.
"Why are you asking if you bore me," he asked.
"It's nothing," I mumbled, shaking my head.
"If it's enough to bother you, then it's clearly something."
"It's just..." God, I felt stupid admitting this, "You come home from work, and you talk about your interesting cases and your weird boss and it all just seems so... exciting. I just... I know that I'm not especially interesting. I... I don't know. I just think about it sometimes."
There was a pause. I could see the look in his eyes shifting as what I was saying was starting to sink in.
"I don't want to lose you because you find something or someone more exciting or thrilling."
"Hey," he said. His hand cupped the side of my face. He grinned at me. "First of all, I never could get bored of you. I don't need some exciting twist to know that you will never stop capturing all of my attention. Second of all, I would be in hell if my relationship was anything like my work, so thank you for not being like my boss."
I chuckled.
"I love you," he added. "More than I'd be able to describe."
"I mean... you could try," I muttered. Robert scoffed at me. "I love you too."
He leaned in and kissed me gently. I kissed him back happily, letting my shoulders relax and my mind clear.
I leaned back first, smiling a bit as Robert pressed a few more soft pecks to my lips before relenting and leaning back.
"I could kiss you forever," he mumbled.
I laughed and turned my head away from him.
"I don't think I meant to say that out loud."
That only made me laugh harder.
Maybe I should give myself a little more credit. Maybe I was just a bit more interesting than I let myself believe.
That's what Robert seemed to believe anyway. And who was I to question him on such a thing?
