──★ ˙🍓 ̟ !! what is this? boyfriend material.
Tumblr media
☆⌒(ゝ。∂).ᐟ ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴀʀᴇ ʙʟʟᴋ ʙᴏʏs ʟɪᴋᴇ ɪɴ ᴀ ʀᴇʟᴀᴛɪᴏɴsʜɪᴘ ᴘᴛ. 𝟷
✿ ─ characters: isagi yoichi, chigiri hyoma, reo mikage, nagi seishiro ✿ ─ cw: fluff, gn!reader, no pronouns but there are a few 'fem coded' things referenced like make up or skirts, aged-up!characters, established relationships, pet names, kissing, groping, pda, use of foul language, suggestive themes, proofread so many times so if there’s a typo ill cry ✿ ─ notes: this is my first post ♪(´▽`) i haven't written stuff like this in a pretty long time so bear with me ‹𝟹 this is some hybrid of headcanon and drabble idk
Tumblr media
ISAGI YOICHI is a full-fledged bonafide simp...
he suffers from tragic a condition. when he’s not trying? flirting supreme panty dropper. however, when he tries to flirt with someone he likes? bro is fumbling. at first he seems like such an instant charmer. hes a classic gentleman, great listener, and super attractive. but the second he gets an inkling of a crush, he ruins it for himself. stuttering and getting his words mixed up, saying the most embarrassing jumbled combination of what he actually meant to.
follows you around to all your tasks because how else would he spend his free time except hanging with his baby. to sephora, to the grocery store, to the salon, the the ends of the earth if that's where you're heading that day. more than happy to hold onto your hand as you go about your business, rambling about global soccer statistics and looking at you like you hold the world. yoichi is a prideful purse holder too, his arms and pockets and car being full of your belongings makes him insanely happy for some reason he can’t put his finger on. always ready to press the lip gloss you’re patting yourself down for into the palm your hand, taking a kiss as payment.
he’s bad at planning dates, so don’t put him in charge unless you want to be late to a reservation at a restaurant 2 hours away with mediocre food. he’s good at paying for them though!! the dates he does get to plan are usually to the mall. what can i say, man likes to spoil you.
at the mall isagi can kind of trick you. because typically if he were to offer to buy you a couple hundred dollars worth of things, you would absolutely refuse. buttt if its just one thing from this store and one thing from another, and maybe its the fact that you dont feel the weight of all the items as your boyfriend carries it all, but it flies under your radar. and at some point you look at yoichi… and he has a lot of shopping bags. surely some of those were his right? the little pleased love sick smile on his face says otherwise.
its so worth it to isagi tho. he gets to spend time with you, make you happy, be a doting bf. but it also means that he can pick out clothes for you. as generous as he was, he could be a bit of a greedy gifter - never leaving the mall without a new skirt of his choosing. will personally pick out a pile of things he wants you to try on just for him.
once youre with isagi for a few months, he reveals his true colors. man is a serial PDA offender. he just thinks you’re so pretty, and it gives him such an ego boost to be the guy by your side. better hold his hand or its going in your back pocket. leans in under the guise of giving you a quick, generally acceptable peck on the lips… but all of a sudden he wants another before you even fully pull away from the first and its all downhill from there. sits on your side of the table at restaurants instead of across from you so he can rest his hand on your thigh and sneak in small squeezes when he thinks youre not paying attention. and be careful about walking in front of him, he’s not strong enough to resist the urge to smack your ass.
if the PDA thing wasnt a dead give away, isagi is just very affectionate in general, honestly has a hard time leaving you alone when you’re in the same room as him. he just gravitates towards you no matter what he was previously doing. very easily distracted, very easy to bribe. he’s the type of guy where when he goes to get out of bed in the morning to go to practice, and you cling to him and ask him for just 5 more minutes, theres nothing that could stop him from sinking right back into your arms. his attendance record has definitely suffered because he is unable to deny you a single thing you ask for, especially if that thing is him.
Tumblr media
CHIGIRI HYOMA is taken and makes sure everyone knows it…
hyoma’s partner very quickly becomes his best friend if they weren’t before they started dating. it’s not even intentional, but he gets very quickly attached to you. sure, he has a decent amount of friends, but none of them know him like you do. he loves to hear you talk about your life, invested in your daily drama and indulging you with all of his. he likes to hear your input and insights on situations. he takes notes in his phone when he sees things he thinks you would like, or conversations he had that he wants to tell you about. forever surprised by how much he misses you when you’re apart, chigiri is used to not needing anyone the way he needs you. is so much grumpier at matches that have him go abroad without you, texting you often throughout the day, whenever he can get his hands on his phone.
because you’re now his best friend and partner, chigiri’s a bit tied to you at the hip, but he would never admit to being clingy. not that you mind, hanging out with him is fun and surprisingly intimate. he never fails to hold your hand wherever you go or throw an arm around your shoulder. on dates he’ll lean in close to your ear to whisper little observations and jokes about the people around, the two of you sharing witty comments and secretive snickers behind your hands. when hanging out with mutual friends, the way yours eyes meet his wordlessly, both holding the same micro expression, indistinguishable to other people, that says “we are so talking about that later”.
speaking of clinging to your side, hyoma can have a bit of a possessive streak at times. i feel like it’s something you don’t really expect of him until there’s a guy flirting with you in a store. the way your boyfriend is at your side before you can even answer, standing at his full height, squaring his shoulders with a sour look on his face, not at all shy about the way his arm snakes around your waist. “they’re not interested.” he states plainly, as if it were obvious, but if you payed close attention to him (which you always did), you would notice the distasteful curl of his lip or the venom seeping into his tone or the way his usually gentle fingers hold onto your side with a firm grip.
he doesn’t meet your eyes after, already sensing the knowing smirk on your lips. his ears turn red when you break the silence to tell him that green was a good color on him. but, your ever clever boyfriend is quick to reply, “that’s cute baby, but i’m not jealous. you haven’t seen me when i’m jealous.” the mischievous glimmer in his eye and the smug smile he wears reminds you to not test him.
king of matching outfits with you. not in the novelty shirts cheesy way, but he always asks for a fit check before he picks you up on dates. chigiri is outside your apartment within the hour, wearing a jacket that matches the color of your shoes and a sly grin. generally starts to shift his style to be a bit more cohesive with yours, he loves going out and looking like you belong together.
not to mention, matching outfits give him more excuses to take pictures with you. photos of you and him are plastered all over his instagram, your handle in his bio and everything. he’s no amateur either, always able to catch your best side, in perfect lighting. really makes you feel as pretty as he seems to think you are. hyoma is a bit of a show off too, so he gets a bit of an ego boost getting to let everyone know how cute you are, and that you’re all his.
hyoma greatly values the alone time he gets to spend with you. the best part of his week is sitting on the couch as you help him with his hair care routine. you running a mix of the comb and your fingers through his hair as the two of you catch up on the k-drama you started together. your touch and your attention and your warm presence enough to make the stress of a pro soccer career melt off his shoulders. makes you teach him how to do your nails and learns your skin care routine so that he can return the favor, although he’s much better at the latter.
Tumblr media
MIKAGE REO is ungodly whipped and more than a little dramatic…
if we’re talking about social media boyfriends, reo is near insufferable. let’s be real, reo was already flexing on the gram before you got with him. constantly posting pictures of his car and expensive watches and exclusive clubs. he just becomes worse when you agree to go out with him. his story is full of aesthetically blurry shots of you, sometimes featuring him, anywhere and everywhere. in his car, on dates, cooking in his kitchen. he even found the audacity to post a picture of you in his bed, your bare back in full frame, the sheets pooled around your waist. “i’m so lucky” was the caption and the only context provided. unsurprisingly the lifespan of that post was quite short once you caught wind of it, with the assurance that he wouldn’t be getting so lucky in the near future.
i totally think reo is the type of guy that tries to act like a fuckboy but is secretly a hopeless romantic. in other words, reo is a huge sap™. has a picture of you in his wallet. you’re his screen saver and all his passwords feature your name. nagi is the last person left that will still listen to reo ramble on about you, all of his other friends having gotten tired of it.
we already know that reo is taking you to fancy dinners on the regular, but more unexpectedly i think he is a big fan of outdoorsy dates. previously mentioned hopeless romantic tendencies means reo loves a picnic way more than he lets on. his favorite is when the summer comes around and he gets to take you to the beach. if reo dies and goes to heaven and it's not you rubbing sunscreen into his warm back in a skimpy swimsuit he picked out for you himself, he's not interested. a close second favorite of his is late night drives with you. all the windows of his luxury sports car down, blasting a playlist the two of you made together, singing loud and ugly down the empty freeway. in these moments you make him feel weightless and he swears it’s addicting.
king of clingy. every time that you feel your phone vibrate, there's a good chance that it's your boyfriend. never with anything important either, asking where you are, how was your day, sending you pics of whatever he is doing, even resorting to imessage games when he runs out of things to talk about. he just always finds himself itching to open your contact. if mikage reo could eat up all of your attention, he would not hesitate to do so.
reo is usually the caretaker. when he obtained status of boyfriend, you automatically went on his list of special people in his life, only really consisting of you and nagi, and this granted you the exclusive privilege of walking all over him if you so please. truly a pushover and weak to your pouts. while we’re on the subject of ways to get him to fold, reo is surprisingly easy to flatter. your compliments are honey to his ears, no matter how many people have said the same to him before. his heart thumps loud in his chest whenever you do any act of service or labor of love for him. just wait for the day you buy this man some flowers. got his hand splayed over his red face, his palm not wide enough to cover his infatuated grin. "they're really for me, babe? god i knew i picked you for a reason.”
reo's feelings for you run extremely deep. scary deep. you make him feel stupid and irrational. he can't think straight, he's impulsive. you have to keep a close eye on him because give reo enough time alone and he'll convince himself that getting your name tattooed across his chest is an amazing idea, a grandiose display of his affection and devotion to you - sick as hell too. god forbid you go on a trip by yourself, there's honestly a decent chance you'll come home to a marriage proposal and explanations on how "no no, don't worry babe, i know its sooner than you expected but i've got it all planned out.” just be glad that up until this point he has resisted the strong urge to drop a fourth of his trust fund on a ring, a price he's more than willing to pay to make you all his.
Tumblr media
NAGI SEISHIRO is greedy and will readily take a mile if given an inch…
nagi is… new to the whole boyfriend thing to say the least. not to say he’s bad at it or anything, but i imagine that in the beginning of your relationship, things are a bit, for a lack of better words, lukewarm. he struggles a bit with recognizing that the switch from friends to more than friends is more than just the title, letting you completely take the wheel. but his passiveness doesn’t last long. not when he can’t escape the way you are constantly on his mind. he thought it was overwhelming enough having a crush on you, but now that he’s falling for you it’s on another level. he thinks of you when he first opens his eyes, facing the obnoxious blue light of his phone to send you your daily goodmorning :x . he thinks of you at night, when he’s restlessly fighting to fall asleep before he ultimately caves and facetimes you so that he can drift off to your tired mumbles and even breaths. he thinks of you when practice drags on, the anticipation of seeing you after the only thing keeping him from giving into his exhaustion.
nagi can’t get you out of his head for the life of him, but to be fair he doesn’t put up much of a fight. seishiro is used to getting what he wants, so what does he do when his desire for you becomes a hassle? he makes it your problem. constantly calling you and asking you to pick him up from social functions because he misses you. insisting that he stays the night at your place or that you come to his because he needs his daily dose of you. and he doesn’t have the shame to be shy of telling you everything on his mind either. he unintentionally says very flustering things, unabashedly demanding your touch and your company, no matter who is listening. it’s your fault he’s like this after all, you might as well take responsibility and give him what he wants.
and what he wants is affection from you, as much as he can get. serishiro is mesmerized by your reactions. being in love with you is uncharted territory that he maps out with piqued curiosity and newfound greed. especially kissing. once nagi gets his first taste of kissing you for real, messy and needy and drawn out, he never wants to go back. not after seeing your red face, eyes lidded and lips parted so cutely he just has to steal one more. now his day dreams revolve around you, what flavor of chapstick you’re wearing, what perfume do you have on, are you thinking of him as much as he does you? thats one thing he never really finds the courage to ask, but that he secretly hopes is true.
he loves to find things you can work on together, even if you always end up being the one putting in more effort. nagi will insist on cooking dinner together, and maybe you get his help for a good 10 minutes before he’s slumped in a seat at the counter eating the ingredients. buys tons of lego sets for the two of you to put together and while you’re following the instructions, he’s stealing pieces you need so he can build a little car to push around the table while he watches you figure it out. he’ll even settle for a puzzle and a movie, but your out of luck if you expect him to do anything but the edges.
the lazy genius only really has the time and energy to have a couple of important people in his life, but once you make it into that inner circle, that shit is permanent as far as he’s concerned. it begins with him telling you that it only makes sense to leave some clothes at his apartment, you’re at his place half the week anyway. and then its him smuggling over your favorite pillows and stuffed animals to his bed instead of yours. then he’s asking you to go grocery shopping with him every week. the jokes he makes about the fact that, “you keep all your stuff here anyway. just move in with me already,” are far too frequent to be subtle. but when he hits you with the puppy eyes, which are annoyingly effective, how could you say no?
you’ve put yourself in his orbit after all and now the solar system that is nagi seishiro will use his gravity to pull you inevitably closer. it’s doomed.

is my bias obvious?? cuz i feel like it might be… lmk which one was your favorite!!

𝐀 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐓 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 ;; 𝐕𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐎𝐔𝐒
⤷ feat. bakugou, kirishima and kaminari
Tumblr media
✧ cw :: gn!reader, fluff, denki calls reader ‘angel’, kiri calls reader ‘baby’
✧ a/n :: idk what this is either, but i do know that a pt 2 with the dekusquad boys will be written :D
Tumblr media
𝐊𝐀𝐓𝐒𝐔𝐊𝐈 catches the way you look at him instead of the homework sprawled in front of you, his red eyes focusing on the way you tap the end of your pen against your soft lips. those lips of yours curve into a smile— you've got him staring. katsuki doesn’t like how he can't do anything about it— not with kirishima sitting right beside him for your weekly study session.
it feels like an eternity until kirishima finally leaves, your study session eventually drawing to a close (though you still ‘need help’). it's then that you can start teasing him. “you shouldn't stare at my lips so blatantly, katsu— you’ll give us away!”
“s'not my fault they look soft,” he grumbles as you make your way closer to him, books long forgotten. “and don’t act like you were focusing.”
you give him a chaste peck on the cheek. “i was not.” you look at him, smiling simply.
“...so are you going to kiss me properly or not?” katsuki looks at you as though your next move should be obvious. his breath catches a bit when you move in closer, but stop with a smirk just before you kiss him.
“do it yourself, katsuki.” his gaze drops to your lips again, and you don't need to tell him twice.
Tumblr media
𝐄𝐈𝐉𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐔 needs to work on his poker face— it's obvious in how he blinks at the flirty text you've sent him, eyes widening slightly before he runs his hand over his face in an attempt to hide his infatuated grin. you bite your lip when his eyes dart up to lock with yours across the room, fighting the urge to smile right back. playfully, you wiggle your eyebrows at him, resulting in a light chuckle emerging from him before his gaze drops to his phone to reply to your text.
“you’re being so unfair, baby :/ yk i can’t hide how you fluster me”
your fingers move against your screen. “aw, sorry eiji— want me to kiss it better?”
“thought you'd never ask ;) my room?”
eijirou watches you nod at him slightly and wastes no time in excusing himself— this isn't the first time you've had to dodge others to have a quick makeout session, so you know how long to wait for before you come up with your own excuse to follow him.
Tumblr media
𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐊𝐈 can barely keep his hands off you, and it kills him to have to every time you're together in public. you're so aware of this, and you make sure to make him suffer just a little more by blowing him kisses whenever you're sure nobody's looking. as soon as you're back in your dorm, he’s quick to pull you into the kiss he's waited for the entire day, pressing you against the back of the door while his hands cling onto your waist. it's times like this when he wishes he could love you as loudly as he wants to, and kiss you whenever he could— you were just too pretty for your own good.
“i’m starting to think you like watching me struggle, angel,” he breathes, his grin creeping up on him at the sight of your playful smile.
“maybe just a little bit, baby— wanna watch a movie and cuddle?”
“took the words right out of my mouth.”

ok, sorry if this sound dumb but what if Miguel broke his arm on a mission or training or something and his kinky brain can't think of how to fight off his desire for the reader while his right hand is no longer useable? sorry words are hard. just thinking about obsessed simp Miguel and i can't even!
Need a Hand?
Miguel O'Hara x Reader
(no pun intended). NSFW, Masturbation, Voyeurism, Dirty talk, a little of sub! Miguel.
Bizarre.
There wasn't another word that described the situation before you, but a lot of different synonyms. Funny, preposterous, ridiculous.
Him, out of everyone, out of the high endurance and resilient people you've met, had broken his arm while fighting Kingpin.
Fisk had snapped his arm like a twig while trying to stop him from rebuilding the particle collisioner. Even though the big man was put behind bars on his world, Miguel had suffered the consequences of the criminal's misguided wrath.
Another lesson for the Boss, really. He might have encountered many variants and villains through the years, even gotten used to their fighting like a second nature, however he was often prone to forget that some of those variants were even more vicious than the others and that he was still human.
And this Kingpin was either narcotically enhanced or was having a bad bad day.
"Serves you right." You chided him while taking a look at his forearm, tucked in within a thick mesh of resin, allowing his skin to breath and heal properly without restricting his limb completely, something he had designed himself.
"You're not funny."
"And you're a sore loser. Anyways, I'll shall get going. This Spiderwoman needs to face the landlord for increasing my rent without telling. Stay out of trouble and rest, Miguel."
With a pat on his shoulder, a portal was open to your dimension. His eyes fixed on your disappearing form through it.
A deep exhale. His hands rubbed softly where you had touched him. Warmth still lingered for a second before disappearing.
"Heartbeat frequency and neural activity increased, should I arrange a visit to the medical bay?"
"No. Just... get the coffee machine brewing."
"Wouldn't that make it worse?"
"Lyla" He warned and Lyla rolled her holographic eyes
"Yeah, yeah. I'll get Jessica if a heart attack happens."
"That's not how caffeine works."
Lyla shrugged before disappearing out of his sight.
-----
Despite being light and doing it's work as it should, the cast was turning into a nuisance. Even the Spider doctor had told him to keep it easy. Spider people healed fast that was much true, but that didn't mean they had to be as reckless as he was being.
Holed up in his lab, trying to get a proper hold of his cock after his eyes had stumbled upon a rare and delicious gem. Footage of you removing the watch and taking a shower. Other of you getting out of your suit and laying naked on your bed as you scrolled through your phone to watch silly videos.
But the one that had put in him in the predicament he was now, replayed over and over, as if engraving it in his brain wasn't enough.
You in bed, naked, a frequent habit he supposed, dragging slow and lazy circles on your clit while watching a saved porn video.
Smooth flesh parted and toyed with, glistening by the neurological response to such imagery.
His hand stroked himself but it felt wrong and painful. His bone wasn't cooperating, and neither was he with the aftercare.
You'd probably be nagging him on how stupid he was being for being so careless and stupid. A lazy smile crept to his face. You were so annoying, pretty and clearly making a mess out of him. The pain remained in his arm but it mattered little as the strokes were heightening his senses.
But as soon as Miguel tried to increase the pace, the sharp discomfort anchored him back to reality.
"Puta madre" He growled and let his cock go, frustrated for being unable to jerk off properly. He tried with his left hand but it wasn't as coordinated and vicious like his right hand. His upper back muscles tensed before throwing a metallic jumble of things in the wall. Suit quickly trapped his cock again.
What was the use of having it free would be if he couldn't get off without feeling pain?
"Miggy Miggy, where are you?"
Shit
He punched the screen off before you ventured in his room. Just in time to not blow his cover.
"Heard something crash, what's not working properly this time?"
His eyes darted to his own hands, but yours were settled on him, red eyes followed your line of sight and it dawned on him. A little flush bloomed in your cheeks.
"Oh."
A smirk displayed on your lips. Certainly a reaction he wasn't expecting.
"Need a hand?" You giggled while he frowned at your own little joke.
"That's... That's not funny."
"I'm not mocking you, Miggy. " With every step closer you gave, he stepped two back, until his back collided with the TV he had just punched. Turning it on back to life.
The lewd moans of your video echoed behind him and your eyes widened.
"Is that..."
You gulped at the sounds. It was impossible to not recall such moans when you knew them by heart, your favorite video. Something you had fantasized a shit ton of times with Miguel, if you were honest. You pushed him out the way to see what had gotten him all worked up.
"W-Wait!"
Your eyes remained glued on the screen, watching how you played and touched yourself. Fingers spreading and toying your cunt.
"Where did you get this?" He had to snap his head your way to divert his attention from the video and pin it on you.
"You leave the... uh... channel open."
It wasn't a lie. Ever since a little mission your gizmo had been malfunctioning. And the recording had been one of them.
"Makes sense. Told you to fix it and you didn't listen."
He swallowed thickly, hoping you'd forget about it. But of course, that wasn't possible.
"Did you like it, though?"
That smirk of yours made his senses to flare up in danger. He shrugged and your brow quirked in disbelief.
"Your cock betrays you, O'Hara"
His eyes narrowed when you stepped closer, but again the chair behind him blocked his escape, he plopped on it while you sat on one of his muscular and meaty thighs. He had to improve the distribution of the place later.
"Let me help with that."
His breath hitched at your words. Eyes locked with his, visual contact sacred to him, as your hand slid down his firm torso, the suit vanishing as you reached down his groin.
Hefty cock sprung back to freedom, a pearly bead of his precum greeting you while you took a hold of his base.
"So big and pretty" You nodded. It sent shivers down your spine, the way he breathed. His generous lips parting to give you a low groan as your thumb smeared the cum on his tip.
"Yeah?" He rasped and you pumped deep.
His jaw clenched and his eyes drooped, lust blown. A fiery flush covered his cheeks. His legs instinctively spreaded more to you, giving you more access to him. We'll worked arms rested on the chair, clawing at the hardened material of it.
Your hand let him go for a moment, fingers collected a good amount of saliva, to then paint his cock with it, making the pumping motion swiftly and faster.
His mouth slacked open, his left hand coaxed your head closer, pressing your forehead against his.
His eyes never left you, just like your hand never abandoned his cock. In fact, your fist had trapped his tip and squeezed his tip, earning you a well deserved whimper.
"You like that, Miggy?"
He nodded in between breathless and deep pants. His groans increased their intensity as you moved your hands to his base. Index and thumb finger circled around him, tightening as much as they could without hurting him. A delicious hiss escaped his mouth followed by a shivering moan.
"Wished it was my pussy right now, don't you?" The pace you settled on him, had his hips slowly fucking into your hole shaped hand, your words only urging the already running rampant imagination.
"So tight and squeezing your cock, hmm?"
"Si" A hiccup as the chair trembled with your ministrations, "Ay por Dios, si"
Fingers focused on his tip again and his teeth ground together. His grip on your nape firmer, as if to prevent you from escaping
"Want to fill my pussy with your cum, Miggy?"
"E-Everyday" He croaked and you smiled above his lips, hot breath fanning over his mouth. Hands clenching and unclenching at the motions your hand provided him. His cum was a magnificent lube.
"My God, so so greedy" You cooed while smirking. You had him a babbling mess since your hand never waned, your voice was like a merciless guide, exposing his deepest desires with such ease it only added more gasoline to his scorching need.
His spine arched subtly, making his head throw back, chest heaved in erratic breaths, matching the thrumming of his heart and the unceasing waves of pleasure, set to drown him.
"Wanna ruin me, Miggy?"
"Yes." He hissed.
His body slowly melting into he chair. You could feel his thighs trembling.
"Are you close?"
His lips searched yours in a measly attempt to placate his babbling mouth, instead you took a hold of his jaw with your free hand, bringing his eyes to yours, and God, you groaned at the sight.
"Give it to me" You moaned. His brows knitting together in a deep yet pleasurable frown, mouth shaped in a messy 'a'.
"Así... Si..." He gulped a choking sob. He inched closer and closer to the fire, calling him to be consumed.
"Wanna cum?"
"No pares por favorno-" He slurred and tripped over his words as thick blobs and spurts of his cum spilled over your hand and wrist. His breath hitched to finally be released in a jagged groan while you gave him the last and deepest strokes.
"Dios..." He whimpered and held onto you, anchoring to something before his soul floated away from his body. The hot of his breath was captured between your lips, granting you a low growl as he rode his high.
Some of his cum had stained the floor. You stood and licked his cum off your fingers, relishing the tangy and salty taste.
"Let me know when you need help again, Miggy"
Before he could reach out again, you were already at the door, waving a little taunting goodbye. He'd definitely need help again.

hopelessly devoted; ryomen sukuna (og form) x fem! reader.
Tumblr media
not culturally accurate; will have aspects from both chinese culture and japanese culture tho it is based in heian era where sukuna was at the height of his power.
smut next chapter🤭
Ryomen sukuna, the king of curses. This name was known all around and was reasonably feared. People worshiped the man as if he was the second coming of Jesus. Those who were trying to curry favor with the man sent him beautiful women, including many of their daughters as concubines for sukuna.
Sukuna gladly accepted them and frequently visited the beauties. The beauties were all focused on pleasing sukuna and wished to birth him a son and elevate their status to a consort. Sukuna was like a deity to them and they believed pleasing him would bring their family luck and glory.
Now on the day, your parents were about to send you off to emperor sukuna’s palace as a concubine, your vicious sister born from concubine fed you poison in the guise of a nourishing soup.
Your concubine birthed sister thought if you were killed she would take your place and become emperor sukuna’s concubine. She didn’t anticipate that you would wake up and act like nothing happened.
In the modern world, You were drunk and ran out of the club. You didn’t expect to run onto the road in your drunken stupor and get hit by a truck.
When you woke up, you were assaulted with memories of the body you were inhibiting. You felt enraged at the way that low-birth sister and that wretched concubine pei treated you.
Since you were from the principal line, the rest of your concubine-born siblings were envious of you. You received love from your parents, and grandparents and it made them filled with jealousy.
You hated the way the body you were inhibiting was so naive. She treated the siblings like they were all birthed by the same mother. She gave away her clothes, her hairpins, and everything they wanted. You made up your mind that you were about to make these ugly bastards suffer.
You were about to enter the palace as a concubine today and you made up your mind you were going to grab the emperor’s golden thigh and make all that made the previous owner of the body suffer face a fate worse than death.
First, you had to see what kind of golden fingers you had. Since you were a gen z kid who read ancient-era novels and watched anime and Asian dramas you knew you could stir some shit up and wreak havoc.
When you heard from your parents that the man you were being gifted to as a concubine was sukuna who had quite a monstrous appearance it felt like you had hit a jackpot.
Ryomen sukuna was someone you were quite familiar with. Considering the simping you had done when the original designs of his body were released, you were very excited to see the man in the flesh.
Night time was approaching and it was time for you to be sent off in a carriage to your new home with your entire family seeing you off. Your parents and grandmother had tears in their eyes while your grandfather looked sad.
You could tell all of them didn’t want to part with you but this was something that had to be done and you understood that. The carriage reached the palace and you were ushered off to your tiny estate. You brought five dowry maids along with you. You were bestowed with two eunuchs and a maidservant.
You were given a rosewater bath and the maids dressed you up in a sexy negligee and put a huge ass wedding dress on top of that. A huge veil was placed, making you unable to see anything. The maids then left you alone in the room.
The room was dark and the only glimmer of light was from the candles.
You were squirming in excitement. You were about to meet one of your favorite anime characters even though his fraudulent behavior was questionable at times you loved him.
You yawned, feeling bored out of your mind.“When is sukuna coming? Like this is so boring. Been waiting for that guy for so long for fuck sake,” You grumbled loudly. You weren’t aware of your surroundings and failed to listen to the footsteps of someone approaching.
A deep chuckle was heard. “Did I just hear someone calling out for me?” The voice crooned, making you squeak.
“Aww is my concubine shy?” Sukuna spoke in a low voice. You shyly nodded.
“Words love.” He softly said. “M’not shy,” you replied, your face covered in a red hue.
Sukuna removed the veil from your face and gently caressed your cheek. “Your father didn’t lie when he said you were beautiful.” He whispered as he softly tilted your chin upwards.
You gasped, “You think I’m beautiful?” Hearing one of your favorite characters say that you’re beautiful was just sending butterflies down your stomach.
You huffed, “Look at you. You're hotter than anyone on this planet well… except Toji but he doesn’t exist right now.”
You added as a second thought, “Well if you have two dicks and we can count that stomach mouth of yours then you are the best man alive.”
Sukuna let out a deep chuckle. “And pray tell how do you know about my body anatomy?”
You cursed, you should stop babbling. “I have dreamed about you a lot actually.” “Well, shall we make your dreams a reality?” Sukuna teasingly spoke. You nodded your head.
Sukuna wrapped his hand around the back of your neck and pulled your face close to his. He rubbed his thumb on your lower lip. You were feeling a bit mischievous so you stuck your tongue out and licked his thumb.
“Sweetheart just say the word I can give you another thing to lick,” He smirked. “Oh I’d love that,” You winked at him.
“You minx,” He growled. He picked you up and sat you down on his lap, so now you were facing his humongous chest.
His stomach mouth decided to be cheeky and licked your hand, making you jump. “Pfft-” Sukuna chuckled. “Hey! It wasn’t funny!” You whined, feeling embarrassed all of a sudden.
Sukuna kept looking at you with that enamored look in his eyes, it made you feel shy and it made you want to run for the hills. It felt like the man was slowly getting obsessed, and if that obsession grew even deeper? You wouldn’t be able to escape, not that you wanted to.
You caressed his cheek. “You’re a beautiful being sukuna ryomen and being able to meet you was a pleasure,” you whispered.
“C’mere you sweet sweet vixen,” he spoke as he grasped your chin, tilting your head upwards so that you could look at him. His one pair of hands gently ran all over your body. You ground your body against his thigh, a feeling of bliss washing over you.
You gasped as his hand brushed over your waist, slowly and steadily making his way towards the inner of your thighs. He leaned forward and brushed his lips against your lips. His tongue brushed yours, he tasted like sweet sake.
“My sweet girl, you are a treasure,” Sukuna breathed out as he broke away from the kiss, a smile etched on his face as he glanced at you.

Tumblr media
The word "Nazi" has a specific meaning to normal people, but to vatniks and tankies it has five basic meanings…. "anybody I don't like" "anybody who disagrees with me" "anybody who's a citizen of a country that Russia wants to invade" "anybody who opposed or simply didn't want to live in one of the tyrannical regimes I simp for" "anybody who was oppressed or killed by one of my favourite mass murderers" EDITED TO ADD: a tankie clown reblogged this post and made some typically asinine comments, so I thought I'd elaborate a little bit…. Tankie clown: @well1x is either referring to the fact that a lot of the "deaths under communism" listed in "the black book of communism" (which gives us the 10 million number or whatever) are quite literally Nazis in WWII, or they're referring to the fact that the only people who have been made to deliberately suffer under communism have been literal Nazis and fascists (generally speaking)
Joining the tankie cult requires you to live in a delusional clown world and believe in a shit ton of made up (and often contradictory) nonsense that requires a considerable repertoire of mental gymnastics (and lies) to maintain….
@well1x is literally trying to claim that all victims of communism are "nazis and facists" (sic), which - back in the real world - is a very obvious lie. It's also a blatant example of victim blaming. For example, most of the millions of men, women and children who were robbed, raped, imprisoned, sent to the gulags, tortured, starved to death, executed or ethnically cleansed by Stalin's henchmen were not Nazis or fascists, and many were innocent of any crime. The vast majority of the population in Stalin's Soviet Union also had to put up with crippling poverty and backwardness, the brutal suppression of their religious and community life and the total lack of freedom.
Based on his comment, I doubt if the tankie clown has ever read "the black book of communism" and I'm also not sure why he mentions this book in particular, when there are thousands of others that thoroughly document the numerous crimes of the regimes tankies insist on being the useful idiots for, and I think it's safe to assume that he hasn't read any of those books either (in fact, I doubt if he's ever read any book whatsoever)…. Tankie clown: Karina then shows an image of (presumably) some kids in the Ukraine famine. This is completely unrelated though because this famine was not manufactured by the USSR as say the Irish famine was by the English. Can't really attribute natural disaster to "muh communism"
Again - a typical genocide-denying tankie lie.
Tankies generally start by saying that the holodomor was Nazi propaganda, and when you debunk that they claim it was just a natural disaster, and when that doesn't work they make up some bullshit about how millions of farmers who barely had enough to live on were wealthy kulaks who burned crops and slaughtered cattle (and therefore deserved to die). And when you point out that the red army actually broke into their homes and confiscated all their grain, every cow or chicken or any other food they had, and that the Soviet authorities blacklisted villages, sometimes purely for containing relatives of Ukrainian independence fighters, and prevented the villagers from leaving, shot them for even collecting ears of grain from the fields, and watched them starve to death - tankies will just deny it, or laugh, or pretend that millions of holodomor victims were all rich landlords (and therefore deserved to die) etc etc….
I've also never seen English people pretending that the Irish famine never happened, or claiming that the victims deserved it, or that it was a good thing, or that Britain should re-conquer Ireland. On the other hand, it's difficult not to notice Stalin's smooth-brained groupies swarming all over social media every day denying or justifying the holodomor and other crimes of Russia and the USSR, and hoping that Russia not only re-conquers Ukraine but also Finland, the Baltics, Poland and other countries it has invaded and occupied in the past.
There's no point trying to reason with tankies using facts, logic or common sense - and appealing to their sense of decency while they're simping for their favourite mass murderers is a complete waste of time. Tankie clown: Karina then says @well1x is defending imperialism(???), defending ethnic cleansing (which …what??), dreaming about labour camps and mass shootings (for Nazis yes plz), and does not do any praxis (based on?).
Yep - most tankie clowns claim to be communists while simultaneously embracing Russian fascism, supporting the imperialism of Russia’s mega-rich ruling class, mindlessly repeating the Kremlin's propaganda and cheerleading their war crimes. These morons seem to have no idea that the Russian Federation is an empire made up of many conquered states that Russia invaded, occupied and colonised in the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, or that Russia's war against Ukraine is a brutal attempt to reassert control over one of its former colonies. Russia's history of imperialism is at least as bad as that of any western country - and they're still doing it in the 21st century.
And I have seen countless examples of tankies speaking openly of wanting to mass murder their ideological enemies (or people they don't like) - because they also delude themselves into believing that if their revolutionary dreams ever came true, they'd be the ones doing the arresting and killing, despite the fact that in a real revolution they'd be about as much use as a fart in a spacesuit. They also have no idea how their small dick energy is somehow going to bring capitalism to its knees, which they'd inevitably end up crying about if it ever actually happened in reality.
Most of them are complete losers who spend the majority of their time sitting in their bedrooms huffing their own farts while reading tankie fan fiction online. Tankie clowns also claim to be against western imperialism and capitalism, despite living comfortable lives in western capitalist countries and owing everything they have to capitalism, including the freedom to use their capitalist smartphones or laptops to post anti-capitalist tantrums on social media platforms owned by western capitalists (thus helping these western capitalists to maximise their profits).
This is generally the sum total of a typical tankie's - ahem - "revolutionary" activity.
The vast majority of tankie clowns wouldn't dream of ever giving up the comforts of capitalism to move to one of the authoritarian shitholes they stupidly simp for, because then they might not be able to play their favourite capitalist video games anymore….
It's also a fact that Russia and the USSR have ethnically cleansed millions of people. Tankie clown: OP takes this insane train all the way to the station, and says @well1x is talking about anyone they don't like which… no. They're talking about the traditional Nazis.
No - they're falsely claiming that all victims of communism are Nazis and fascists. Learn to read…. Tankie clown: But also let's break this down. Who does OP think is being called a Nazi? "anyone I don't like" I mean I don't like Nazis, but I don't think everyone I don't like is one lmao. Funny tho, dude throws around the word tankie until it has no meaning.
In my experience, if you disagree with tankies about anything, they will pretty soon call you a fascist or a Nazi. It's they who throw around words like "fascist" and "Nazi" until they have no meaning (and most of them hilariously claim to be opposed to fascism while simultaneously supporting it - if it happens to be Russian). Tankie clown: - "anyone who disagrees with me" if you disagree that all human beings deserve to live a dignified life regardless of race/sex/gender identity/sexual orientation/age/disability/whatever then yeah you probably are a Nazi
Straw man. See above….
It's also amusing to observe the doublethink of somebody who apparently believes that "all human beings deserve to live a dignified life" while simultaneously thinking that when his favourite mass murderers oppressed and/or killed huge numbers of people it was perfectly OK…. Tankie clown: - "anyone who's a citizen of a country that Russia wants to invade" why the fuck are we talking about Russia? Believe it or not OP, USSR does not stand for "United Soviet States of Russia" lmaoooo
We're talking about Russia because most tankie clowns support Russian imperialism and mindlessly parrot the Kremlin's propaganda about how Russia's latest invasion of Ukraine is some sort of special de-nazification operation (see above). Tankies are generally so ignorant, gullible and stupid that they will literally believe anything the Kremlin tells them…. Tankie clown: - "anyone opposed or simply didn't want to live in one of the tyrannical regimes I simp for" tyrannical regimes lmao. These were only "tyrannical regimes" for people who actually were in fact Nazis.
Again - this is the kind of reality-denying nonsense I'd expect to hear from a tankie clown. One thing that really appalls people in the central and eastern European countries that experienced the reality of being occupied by the USSR and/or Russia, is the staggering ignorance and stupidity of western useful idiots who have no idea what it was actually like, and are not only dumb enough to join the tankie cult, but insist on westsplaining to the victims and their descendants about how the horrors they and their families suffered (usually for doing literally nothing) either didn't happen ("cuz the CIA made it all up") or claiming that they somehow deserved it ("cuz they were all Nazis/fascists/kulaks/slave owners").
Back in the real world, these were tyrannical regimes for tens of millions of ordinary people who had done nothing to deserve being subjected to tyranny…. Tankie clown: - "anyone who was oppressed or killed by one of my favourite mass murderers" yeah basically that's what I've been saying.
Thanks for proving my point….
And please note that smoking weed on your mum's sofa isn't actually going to bring the world revolution closer.
That was just a joke…. 🤣😂

💭 — RICKY AS YOUR BOYFRIEND !
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
SOPH — tysm for the two anons that requested this! sorry for the delay, i was trying to do a bunch of reqs at once but got carried away due to some school work </3 (yes i have summer hw im suffering). hope you enjoy these though!
GENRE — fluff, angst if you squint | WARNINGS — lower case intended, 2nd pov, and that’s it?
Tumblr media
— he seems the type to play it cool in a relationship but is actually a MESS. like what should he do? should he be flirting with you? should you guys be doing anything? besides that cool face, this mind is racking ideas of what he should do and what’s best for the relationship. anything for you!!
— i don’t think ricky could ever get mad at you. like maybe jokingly mad or being frustrated but that’s all. i don’t think he really likes conflict and tries fixing it. thing is, he may give silent treatment just so he could talk to myself on how to solve an argument between you two.
— now, ricky may forget a lot of things, but he never forgets anything about you! anyone can ask something about you, and he’s like a walking google about you. ik he whips his head if he hears your name come out of any of the member’s mouth. they can call him a simp for all he cares — he knows it’s true anyways.
— “you know ricky, you don’t know a lot of stuff of me compared to your partner.” “gyuvin yeah, cause you’re not yn.” “i get that but come on, how could you forget my favorite food?” “oh sorry, i forgot.” “ricky i’ll beat you up—” “yn!!!”
— he would get excited over little gifts you give him. he’s used to being the gift giver, so seeing you get him something just seems ten time more valuable than those luxury brands. probably shows it off to the others. “bet you don’t have this,” LMFAO hes so silly
— the type to send pics of himself or sweet msgs to you when he misses you. and he js plays it off with “i bet you miss me so here you go.” in reality, he just misses you and just wants to hear sweet things from you :( <3
— boy he LOVES strawberries. so he probably buys you strawberry items so that you can be reminded of him. let’s say his obsession can get out of hand, but who doesn’t love cute strawberry items???
— i feel like he would prefer a more private relationship?? but that doesn’t work out since he acts SOOO different around you. so when he announces that you two are dating, the others aren’t surprised whatsoever.
— pretty clueless so would ask you for help because it’s “you two getting along” he says. he would find any excuse to be with you at all times and just wouldn’t mind acting a little clueless.
— if there’s any language barriers, i feel like he’d try his best to communicate with you as best as he can. sure, he wants to give up at some times, but he remembers you, the main cause of his motivation. so he’d study really hard for you :)
— ricky isn’t always as open with his thoughts as he think he is. sometimes, he may isolate himself, just because there’s a lot on his mind. so that’s when you step in! give him comfort and offer to listen bc that’s all what he needs!
— secretly likes physical touch but won’t flat out admit it. he wouldn’t pretend he hates it either, he just lets it happen. secretly smiles when you suddenly become clingy around him. he likes you initiating it first because he doesn’t want to be annoying or a bother to you when he needs affection </3
— the longer you’re in a relationship with him, the more comfortable he is with you. and that’s a good thing! but he still gets flustered over small acts you do for him.
— partner privilege is probably a thing.
— would love showing you off :’) he’s just really glad yours is and sometimes can’t believe it himself. which is why he may just catch himself be quiet and admire you <3
Tumblr media
💭 — in bloom already has two wins 🙏 so proud of them <3
ZB1 PERM TAGLIST — @dwcljh @ilovewonyo @jiawji @tzyuki @kpoprhia @flamiricky @misoxhappy @lluvjjun @zzzhoonie

DROP YOUR DX FOR VOX !!!!! Please and thank you.
I would like to preface all my posts on headcanons related to psychology and mental illness with a disclaimer: diagnosing mental conditions, especially personality disorders, can be extremely challenging. It's a complicated process that relies heavily on a psychologist's interpretation of facts, making it susceptible to biases. Personality disorders cannot be diagnosed based on surface-level observations and are not just labels that we can assign to people like in the case of MBTI. Additionally, I am not a clinician with any expertise in diagnosing people. Therefore, the following post should not be taken as a reliable professional opinion. It's simply my interpretation of the internal mechanisms that may be responsible for the behavior of certain characters in my fan fiction. Furthermore, I want to make it clear that I have no intention of stigmatizing people with personality disorders by associating them with villains. A personality disorder does not determine someone's character or make them a bad person. Some characters may be evil because of the choices they make, not as a result of their mental conditions.
Tumblr media
(I've already posted some stuff here so I'm not going to repeat myself.)
Okay, so, Vox has Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). It's crucial to distinguish this from "common narcissism" (people often described as "narcissists" by others just because they are egotist assholes; kinda ableist, you shouldn't do it because it's extremely stigmatizing towards people suffering with actual NPD) . While those individuals typically function well, those with NPD exhibit all the traits – grandiosity, egocentrism, attention-seeking, intense power fantasies – but as it's a disorder, these traits lead to inflexible and maladaptive patterns of behavior and cognition.
NPD has its roots in intense feelings of shame, low self-compassion, and self-loathing. In my interpretation, Vox has always felt inadequate. His father inherited an enormous amount of money, establishing a media conglomerate in the 20's. Vox's mother, captivated by the world of movies, used them to escape her reality as a trophy wife. Despite her dreams of becoming an actress, Vox's father, possessive and protective, prevented her entry into the entertainment industry. As a compromise, he made their son a child actor, with the condition that it would be temporary. When Vox grew older, he was expected to transition to learning business and other skills, ultimately to take over the family's empire.
So, Vox was never enough for either of his parents. His father thought of him as annoying and unserious due to his talkativeness and exaggerated behaviors, attributing it to growing up surrounded by actors. As for his mother... Vox turned out to be a terrible actor, struggling to convey emotions that weren't bombastic and over-the-top. Being a teenager is humiliating enough, but imagine being a teenager bad at something and forced to do it for a worldwide audience, when the whole production crew is annoyed with you. Fortunately, he grew up to be devilishly handsome (not to be a simp, I just believe someone must be handsome to endure the ethereal punishment of having their face swapped for a TV screen) and entertaining, leading them to make him a TV host and media personality.
Tumblr media
Anyway, NPD is all about creating a perfect self and projecting it to the world when you're deeply ashamed of your true self. It means that, no matter what you're doing, you're constantly concerned about how it looks to other people. You constantly play an exhausting game, trying to win gold stars of social admiration for every-fucking-thing, guided by superficial ideals of wealth, perfection, beauty, and, above all, power. One reason Alastor's existence bothers Vox so much is the fact that he cannot comprehend the idea of someone choosing radio over his "objectively better and correct" medium. Vox lacks the ability to understand nuanced sentiments, which ironically makes him thrive in Hell. In this anarchocapitalist, lawless society, survival of the fittest prevails, and this is a game he excels at playing.
Tumblr media
Generally, the best approach for individuals with NPD is to pull them out of delusional thinking by confronting their beliefs about the world and themselves with reality (it should be performed by qualified therapist, especially when someone hasn't completed any kind of therapeutic process yet). However, in Hell, Vox's behavior was no longer in violation of social norms; on the contrary, it was highly rewarded. Consequently, he completely lost his shit, became unhinged, and began acting on all his previously suppressed urges. He finally fulfilled all narcissistic power fantasies and became (almost) untouchable. Now, he's ready to kill anyone who questions him, seeing it as threatening to his fragile image of the perfect self.
Tumblr media
He exhibits strong bipolar tendencies. Most of the time, he's power-tripping in a semi-maniacal state. Periodically, he undergoes deep, depressive episodes, locking himself up in his apartment and avoiding interaction.
Constantly guarding this fragile image of the perfect self that he built is exhausting. The bigger this image gets, the more fragile it becomes, like a house of cards. And guarding it becomes more and more exhausting. But there's nothing scarier than the idea of the facade falling apart and people seeing him as he is: imperfect and vulnerable, damaged and ashamed, rotten and evil. Deep down, he knows he's unlovable, and it hurts. He knows that true love exists; he craves this ultimate form of admiration and devotion, but it requires vulnerability and honesty, which he's not capable of. He's only vulnerable with Valentino, and only occasionally when he's intoxicated or when Val fucks every last thought out of his body. He's very much a controlling top insecure about his masculinity, so the latter happens rarely.
Tumblr media
Also, drugs. Oh, do this man enjoy some coke. Other drugs and booze, not so much; they make him feel less in control. But getting coked up, going out, causing a scene, killing some poor souls, and relishing this feeling of being completely untouchable? Feels so good.
When it comes to Alastor, he hates him because he's jealous. Despite all his efforts—building a perfect persona, a perfect company, perfect entertainment—this stinky, outdated, and boring radio demon gets so much attention and admiration that should be his. Moreover, he feels that Alastor can see right through his bullshit. He's so paranoid about it that he's almost certain Alastor knows about his childhood traumas, about his death, about all his truths, and could one day broadcast it for all people of Hell to hear. So, he needs him dead.
Note: these headcanons (especially Vox's past) are very important part of my fanfiction. Please feel free to use them in your fics but I'll appreciate if you tag me 🩷

Simping for fictional characters is therapeutic.
I have this intense need to protect, nurture, take care of Sans. Provide for him. Make sure he's got plenty of good food, good friends and good/bad laughs (whichever he prefers).
Let him rest, let him heal, let him quit those jobs and take up something he enjoys.
I want to see him freed from suffering.
I want to see him flourish.
I make silly drawings, I make serious drawings, but no drawing can show how important daydreaming is to me in everyday life. I suffocate without it. I need this outlet. It's not all about Sans, it's just that Sans is a perfect outlet, and daydreaming has always got me out of bed every morning.
And I am shameless about it.
It's a tool that gives my life colours. Makes it vibrant. And I think many of you can relate and let me tell you, we are badass. We are fierce. We rule. We experienced a problem, found a solution, and used it. And I think that's freaking cool. I think that rocks. Be proud!!!
I do not want to see a hint of shame in you. You are glorious beings of love and beauty and I love you and I want to see more Sans x reader / self-insert / anomaly art. Give me more!

How hyung line would look after you on your period ?
a/n: oh actually I’ve done one with the whole group before but since this is only for the hyung line, it’s going to be a new one! also it’s great to know i’m currently on my period as I started writing this🧌currently dying👍🏻
WARNING: since it is the hyung line, i'm making it more suggestive than usual. why? bc these four have me on chokehold. which also means minors please do not interact. mentions about giving head. mentions of makeout. i'm putting this in the smut tag only bc i realise the more i write, the more i want to go further😀.
Tumblr media
enhypen reacts [hyung line]: taking care of you during your period
Tumblr media
— placing this in case the read more messes up —
❦ heeseung
Tumblr media
oh lee heeseung…holding back myself bc i may pounce
but anyways, i've said in my other post with the whole group, heeseung would definitely be sweet
he buys you pads whenever you run out (with addition of him being terrified by the heaps of pads and tampons in that section)
helps make tea (or coffee but i'm more of tea girl) when you feel in pain.
helps you distract from your cramps by making you laugh
he still that sweet boyfriend but...
his patience is at the low when he's getting hot and heavy.
i mentioned that heeseung now uses kisses to make you feel better whenever you are having cramps.
and when those kisses get carried away, you bet your asses you will be laid back onto the couch as heeseung hovers over you.
and he would get annoyed if your cramps interrupt his kissing session with you.
if it escalates even further, you have to stop him and remind him that you are on your period.
to which, he groans
"i just want to give you some love. why does mother nature have to come at the worst timing." he complains.
oh lee heeseung, you wished god never made women suffer with periods every month but there was no choice.
so to suffice heeseung's lust, you umm well offer him to give him head.
and yes, he agreed bc who wouldn't want to receive head from their significant other.
❦ jay
Tumblr media
okay so i've mentioned before that since jay is an only child, he wouldn't know much about periods and stuff
after all, the only womanly figure around him is his mom.
however, he does quickly learn how to handle these sorts of things bc well he is simply park jongseong.
and once he becomes a pro at it then yay! happy girlfriend = happy jay
now for the suggestive part...
jay, to put it quite frankly, has a high sex drive. i won't lie
but he is a patient man so he will wait
however, not when you've been teasing him.
you've gotten more horknee during your period and like you have a hunk of a boyfriend
how are you not supposed to tease him
your kisses always lingered on him and it makes him want to swoop you in and kiss you hard
but he knows he shouldn't
"love, we shouldn't." jay says.
"but i just want to kiss you."
"if i kiss you, i won't be able to control myself."
but of course, you kissed him.
it ends with you and him having clothed sex and yes, it was the hottest thing you've done with jay.
❦ jake
Tumblr media
i've mentioned that jake has 'golden retriever' energy
and it's true he does
he would be a good boy and run around helping you whenever he needs to
bc he loves you
which does make him sound like a total simp, which he is. however, do you wear the pants in the relationship?
unfortunately, you don't bc although jake is all 'happy puppy', he can turn into a total menace with you.
tbh, he hates whenever you have your period. sure he takes care of you and whatever.
but to him, a period is like cockblocker
he can't have sex with you
and we all can tell that he has a high sex drive (read: scorpio sign staring right back at you)
so like whenever, it's that time of the month...jake has no choice but to either jerk off or be holy and not touch himself
if he decides to stay holy is bc he would rather feel you than use his hands.
however, if he can't wait then his right hand will be of use.
❦ sunghoon
Tumblr media
i didn't mention much in hoon's side bc it was just crack
and honestly, it's true
sunghoon just wants to liven up the mood bc he knows it probably hurts
or well you told him how much it hurts
sunghoon doesn't enjoy seeing you in pain so he opts to make you smile
or well...see you flustered
sunghoon likes to also tease you during your period
why? bc you can't do anything about it
little does he know, your hormones go way worse when it's that time of the month.
he will trap you against a wall, lean down to nearly kiss your lips and then pulling away.
you hate it but you also loved it bc god you loved the tension whenever it happens.
finally, you cracked. you wrapped your arms around sunghoon's neck and kissed him. he wasn't fazed by it since he wanted this too.
it escalates further, you were in the bedroom. straddling sunghoon's lap still kissing him and grinding down on him.
sunghoon knows this should stop but he drunk off the feeling, it had been a long time (it was only 2-3 days).
you had ended it off by giving him head and he helped you out by letting you ride his thigh.

*sigh* idk what to say at this point. I’m not even a major simp for the Jester but the Pierro brainrot was very infectious. Y’all can thank @frogchiro​ for converting me and @seakicker​ for inspiring this fic  =_=
As always, thank you to @diodellet​ for suffering with me as my peer reviewer!! I’m also grateful to Kin for helping with my characterization of Pierro. I ended up writing about a very detailed darling, but I hope you enjoy their twisted tale nonetheless :>

i. memento mori
You cooked too much food again.
You stare at your dinner. Out of habit, you had also set the table for two and filled both plates before realizing your mistake. You can’t finish the cream stew all by yourself.
Great, more stale leftovers.
You shake your head and pick up your spoon.
Old habits die hard. You’d made the same mistake before, but it had taken less time for you to adjust. It was easier when someone was still there to correct you.
The kitchen is too quiet. You can only manage a few bites before you grow sick of the empty chair across from you. Picking up your plate and cutlery, you go outside and take a seat at the temple entrance.
The forest is the same as usual, shrouded in a veil of mist. Through the haze, you can spot a few woodland critters darting to and fro. Somewhere in the trees, a pair of birds are singing a harmonious duet. The pasithea flowers are in full bloom.
You wave your hand and the mist rises. The berry bushes look ripe for picking. You can already imagine the many—no, Oizys won’t be here to enjoy your cooking.
“Help.”
You startle. Has a human entered your territory?
You can sense a distressed voice along with weak movement. From what you can tell, the wanderer must be at the edge of the forest, close enough to reach the mist.
You fix your veil, draping the sheer fabric over your face, and leave the temple.
It doesn’t take long to find him. The human is slumped against a tall tree surrounded by achlys flowers. His breathing feels unsteady.
“Hello?” You slowly approach him, clearing the mist.
He doesn’t acknowledge you. You lean down to examine him.
The poor thing looks close to death. His silver hair is messy and there is a cut on the side of his face. Judging by the weapons on his person, could he be a combatant? No, his torn clothes look too fancy for an ordinary soldier.
You tap his shoulder. “Can you hear me, dear?”
He opens his eyes.
Four-pointed stars.
You draw back. Those diamond-shaped pupils...this human is clearly from Khaenri’ah.
He lifts his head, blinking blearily. Based on appearance alone, he seems too weak to attack you.
You don’t sense anyone else within the forest. You could easily give this person first aid then hide in your temple. It shouldn’t take long for him to find the city once he recovers.
A hand weakly grips your wrist. The Khaenri'ahn dazedly looks up at you.
“Who are you?”
No, that would be absolutely cruel.
You crouch down, touching his forehead with the back of your hand. His temperature is too warm. And now that you’ve taken a closer look, is that blood on his clothes?
“Shh, it’s all right,” you whisper, offering a soft smile. “You’re safe here.”
The Khaenri'ahn stares at you for a few more seconds before his eyes flutter shut. His hand lets go of your wrist and falls to his side—did he pass out already?
You glance at the berry bushes and mutter a silent apology.
At least your dinner won’t go to waste.
ii. mea culpa
Thankfully, the Khaenri'ahn’s injuries aren’t too severe. After treating his wounds, you tuck him in bed and wait for him to wake up.
Even in slumber, his expression is weary. There are faded scars mixed in with his bandages. Has he been wandering Teyvat since the fall of his nation? How did he survive?
What should you do with him?
His expression stirs, followed by a pained noise. The diamond pupils are exposed.
“Ah, you’re awake!” you exclaim, rushing to his bedside. “Do you feel better?”
“What?” He turns his head in your direction, clearly confused.
You raise a cup to his lips. “Here, drink some water first.”
He finishes the entire glass. You point at the pitcher on the nightstand.
“Are you still thirsty? Or would you like something to eat?”
He shakes his head, looking at you warily. “Not now…where am I?”
“You’re in a safe place.” You smile, placing a hand on his bandaged shoulder. “No one will hurt you in my temple.”
His eyes widen. “Your temple?”
He lunges forward. A shocked cry leaves your lips as he sits up and grabs your arm.
“You.” His gaze turns hostile. “You are a god.”
Huh, he found out sooner than intended.
“That I am.”
You might as well reveal your true form. Wispy gray marks spread across your skin.
He holds your arm in a bruising grip. “What do you intend to do with me?”
“Believe it or not, I wanted to save your life.” You hold his gaze through your veil. “Don’t worry, even if my intentions were cruel, I am quite harmless for a god.”
“And who are you, exactly?”
You wince as he strengthens his hold on you. Are humans normally this strong?
“You may call me ______,” you reply calmly. “That is the name I go by nowadays. But since you are asking for my true identity, I’ll be honest: I am █████ the God of Mist.”
He glances at the shadowy swirls on your arm. “I have never heard of your title.”
“That is to be expected,” you reply. “Now could you please let go of me? I understand your aggression, but I can’t properly care for you with a broken arm.”
The Khaenri'ahn’s gaze is clear this time. Those diamond pupils fixate on your face then his bandages. After looking around the guest room, he reluctantly lets go of you.
“There, was that so difficult?” you ask him. “I am sure that you have many questions, and I can promise you my full honesty. But for now, you must rest.”
“I can—”
He tries to leave the bed, only to stumble. You catch him in time.
“Now, what did I tell you? Don’t overexert yourself.” Shaking your head, you help him back into bed. “May I know your name, dear?”
The distrustful look he gives you is an adequate response.
“Not willing? Fine, that is a wise precaution.” You check your arm for lingering marks from his grasp. “Moving on, I cooked cream stew earlier. Would you like some?”
A moment of silence precedes his response.
“Yes,” he mutters sheepishly, “and pardon my hostility.”
You smile at him. “No offense taken. It isn’t everyday that someone treats me this way.”
*✧・゚
The Khaenri'ahn remains cautious. In a few weeks, he regains enough strength to leave his bed and walk around the temple. You regularly change his bandages.
“Good, you don’t seem to be sick anymore.” You remove your hand from his forehead and leave the temple. “But it will take more time for your injuries to heal.”
It would be faster if Vesta were here.
He follows you. Since leaving the guest room, he has been watching you go about your daily routine. Cooking, foraging, doing laundry, cleaning the temple, checking the animal traps.
“For a god, you live quite a humble lifestyle,” he muses. “I assumed that you would have a horde of followers catering to your every need.”
“Hardly!” you scoff. “That isn’t my style of worship.”
The path ahead of you is obscured by mist. You are quick to catch the Khaenri'ahn when he trips on the steep slope.
“Are you all right?”
“I am fine,” he mutters, averting eye contact. “Where are your followers to begin with? I have not encountered any since entering this forest.”
“That is because they are all here.”
You wave your hand and the mist disperses.
The Khaenri’ahn stops in his tracks. “This is…”
The pasithea flowers have overtaken the cemetery. You walk past the gravestones towards a pair of half-broken statues.
“I suppose you’d like an explanation. Do you know about the Archon War?”
A short pause. “I have heard stories.”
Good, you don’t need to explain that far into history.
The pasithea flowers are concentrated around the shorter statue. Deep blue flowers sprout from the cracks, concealing her face.
“This isn’t my original territory,” you explain. “Before, I shared a vast area of land with three other gods. We retreated to this forest with our followers during the war.”
The Khaenri’ahn walks over to the other statue. “They survived as well?”
His face is discolored. A damaged Claymore rests in his hands, never to be used again.
You cover the statue’s eyes with mist. “Yes, but they’re currently dead.”
Silence. Picking up a broom, you sweep the leaves around the statues.
“At first, we defended our territory,” you continue. “That was the option I voted for, but we fled after Vesta was slain. A few centuries later, Pasithea succumbed to erosion. Wait, do I need to explain what erosion is?”
He shakes his head. “I can discern the meaning of the term. You may continue.”
“Okay then. In Pasithea’s case…she went mad and it affected our people. So one of her followers decided to end her misery.”
You sidestep a patch of pasithea flowers. If you try hard enough, you can still recall the lyrics to her lullabies.
“By the time I sensed them, it was too late…her death plagued everyone in the forest with insanity, and only a few survived. And before that, I learned that my friend Havria—she established her own new territory in Liyue—was also slain by her people.”
The Khaenri’ahn remains silent. You move on to a row of gravestones engraved with curlicues.
“Over time, my followers died out. The last ones lost faith in me and left; many switched to my last friend Oizys. I don’t blame them. His fortune, Vesta’s warmth, Pasithea’s dreams…what I gave them was incomparable. All my mist did was hide them from the world.”
“And what happened to Oizys?” he asks tensely.
You hesitate. “He died at the start of the war between Celestia and Khaenri’ah. He was on the gods’ side. A few weeks after he left, I discovered his body near the forest. I…I guess he used the last of his strength to come home.”
Tears prick the corners of your vision. You straighten your veil and walk over to Oizys’s grave, noting the Khaenri’ahn’s wary expression.
“And you do not resent my people for slaying your friend?” he asks.
You shake your head. “I’d rather not cause any more deaths. And I should be asking you the same question, really.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Until now, no grass has grown over his grave. Maybe you should try planting berries.
“I took a neutral stance during the Cataclysm,” you explain, “and that angered Oizys; he always called me too kind for my own good. But if I was truly kind, shouldn’t I have stopped him from joining the war? Shouldn’t I have cared more about his future victims?”
How long will it take for his body to decompose? Is his soul at peace?
“Maybe he would still be alive. Maybe your nation would have more survivors.”
The silence is heavy. You turn to the Khaenri’ahn, noting his solemn expression.
What did it feel like to lose all of his loved ones at once? Is it even possible for him to mourn their deaths?
Finally, he looks up to face you. There is no anger in his gaze, only sympathy.
“I did not advocate for the war, either,” he says, “but I was only a mage in the royal court. For that reason, the previous ruler heeded the sages’ words over my own.”
“I see.” You put down the broom and turn away from the statues. “Let’s go. It will take half a day to clean this place, and you need more rest.”
He follows you. “If you insist.”
The two of you leave the cemetery. The area is once again shrouded in mist.
The Khaenri’ahn meets your gaze. “I am sorry for your loss, ______.”
“I must say the same to you.”
He’s had less trouble walking lately. Soon enough, he will be able to leave the forest.
You walk ahead. “Once you have fully recovered, I expect you to leave. If you don’t have a clear destination in mind, I can guide you to Oizys’s city or draw a map of Teyvat for you.”
He responds quickly this time. “Of course, I would not want to overstay my welcome.”
“Oh, it’s not that.” You turn around to face him, a sad smile on your face. “It’s for your own good, dear. There is no future for you here.”
*✧・゚
After your visit to the cemetery, the Khaenri’ahn begins helping around the forest. You initially disapprove of it but he is insistent on “repaying your kindness.”
He doesn’t divulge any more personal information apart from the fact that he lived with an outlander for some time. You ask him general questions about Khaenri’ah’s culture instead; in turn, he inquires about your glory days.
“Are your old temples still standing?” he asks.
You focus on the chessboard. “The last time I checked, all of them succumbed to the elements. My friends’ temples are more intact; some of my statues are kept there.”
The Khaenri’ahn moves a black pawn. “And they remain in their place, unbothered?”
You make your next move. “More or less. I’ve run into a few adventurers, and they make the wildest assumptions about my images. They would be quite disappointed if they knew what the real thing is like.”
He looks around the temple. Your religious art had been destroyed years ago.
“I can only imagine what it is like to encounter the remnants of your previous existence. It must conjure painful memories.”
You change the topic. “Have you planned your next destination?”
“I am still undecided.”
“Maybe this question will help: What will you do now?”
The Khaenri’ahn doesn’t need bandages anymore. After months of his silent company, his departure will leave a new gap in your daily routine.
“You could start over in another nation. I’d suggest the city of Miseria as a new home; it is still thriving after Oizys’s death.”
He picks up another chess piece, planning his next move.
You continue speaking. “Or you could search for fellow survivors, maybe even preserve what is left of Khaenri’ah. Your life does not end with your nation. After some time…you will eventually move on from the calamity.”
The chess piece cracks in his hand.
You look up immediately. The Khaenri’ahn glares at you.
“Move on?” he asks angrily. “After the destruction I have witnessed, acceptance would be the most humiliating form of defeat.”
The diamonds in his eyes flash. This is your first time seeing him in such a furious state.
You glance at his clenched fist. You will need to replace the black king.
“In that case,” you reply carefully, “is vengeance a preferable option for you? It is one thing to live with resentment but taking action is a different matter.”
He returns the king to its original square and moves his queen instead. “At the moment, I have no concrete plan. But so long as I can remember the flames of Celestia’s cruelty, I would like to see them extinguished.”
“...Then so be it.”
You analyze the chessboard. The Khaenri’ahn turned out to be a formidable opponent. With how he constantly surprises you, you have no doubt that he will do well.
You are absolutely cornered. He topples your white king, a triumphant gleam in his eyes.
“Checkmate.”
iii. damnatio memoriae
The remaining weeks are dreamlike. You enjoy more meals, conversations, and chess games with your temporary companion. He has more energy these days, perhaps motivated by your earlier conversation. He even smiles on a few occasions.
It only makes his departure more difficult.
“Do you have everything you need?”
The Khaenri’ahn doesn’t stop to check his bag. “You have already given me more than enough for my travels.”
“Are you sure? Do you need more food? Another blanket?”
“I can take care of myself henceforth.”
How can he be so sure?
The mist swirls around you. You guide him to the edge of the forest.
“Then I guess this is where we say goodbye.”
The Khaenri’ahn steps out of the mist. He looks nothing like the pitiful creature you first met. No traces of sickness or injury. Mended clothes—he even allowed you to embroider stars and diamonds over the holes. A bright, determined gaze directed at you.
“Thank you for everything,” he tells you. “Had you not saved me, I would have lost hope ages ago.”
You smile, shaking your head. “That was nothing, dear. Thank you for your company.”
What will he do now? Will he really seek vengeance against Celestia?
He glances at the expanding mist. “Will you remain in your territory?”
“Of course, someone needs to take care of the cemetery. Oh, and…” Your voice trails off, a pause where his unknown name should be. “I have one last thing to say to you.”
He resumes eye contact. “Yes?”
He will be fine. It would be selfish to keep him here.
The mist recedes. You lift your veil, smiling.
“Your feelings are valid. If resentment is what drives you to continue living, then let it be. What matters is that you are still alive.”
So long as he doesn't give up.
The Khaenri’ahn doesn’t say anything at first. He stares at your face, likely taking in the details usually hidden by your veil. Why, though? He has seen it plenty of times during your meals together.
You clasp your hands around his. “Take care. May you find your new purpose in life.”
That draws him out of his stupor. He nods, standing up straighter.
“Your kindness will not be forgotten, ______.”
With that, he turns around and walks in the direction of Miseria. You remain in your spot, watching his figure shrink then disappear over the horizon. Not once does he turn around.
Back to your old routine.
The temple is too quiet. The dishes are still in the sink, speckled with crumbs of berry pie. The guilt finally sets in as you pick up the Khaenri’ahn’s—no, Oizys’s plate and clean it.
You put your tableware in the dish rack. Oizys’s is transferred to the cupboard, placed beside the three long-discarded sets.
*✧・
Time passes so slowly these days.
Even before the Khaenri’ahn’s arrival, you began oversleeping without Oizys’s wakeup calls. But with the former gone, you have less reasons to leave your bed.
You still sleep on the right side. You fill the left side with pillows to make the bed feel less empty, but there is no replacement for Oizys’s late-night ramblings. After a few more washes, his scent leaves the mattress.
On Vesta’s birthday, you leave the forest and return to your old territory. Their temple is still standing, but the fire has been extinguished.
At first, you think the empty hearth is a hallucination. You can still vividly recall the moment Vesta’s mangled body burst into fire. Even in death, their soul sought to provide warmth for their followers through everlasting flames.
Even in death, they provided more than what you could ever give.
The statues haven’t fared any better. Your friends’ icons have all crumbled into shards and dust. You don’t care to look for your own scattered fragments.
You visit Sal Terrae next. After greeting Havria’s remains, you run into Morax and exchange a few words with him. You leave immediately afterwards—he is busy overseeing Liyue’s recovery from the Cataclysm, and his nation only reminds you of your once-thriving territories.
That visit is what convinces you to rest. Back home, you clean the entire cemetery; the task takes an entire day without Oizys’s help. You go to bed and only wake up months later for your religious festival.
The forest is the same. Oizys’s grave remains barren.
You greet your followers’ graves. The temple is cleaned and decorated with your old tapestries. As you pick a bouquet of achlys flowers for yourself, the Khaenri’ahn comes to mind.
Is he doing well?
What a stupid question. The fact that he hasn’t returned is a good answer.
You bake a small cake this time, just enough for one person and topped with a ring of candles.
The fire is much dimmer than Vesta’s. What else is different? Your followers would return your greetings. Havria would visit to join the celebration. Pasithea would sing your hymns. Oizys would gift you another blessing of happiness.
You blow out the candles. Smoke curls into the air and mixes with the mist.
“Happy birthday, █████.”
*✧・
You sleep for longer intervals, dedicating a few wakeful days to your friends’ birthdays and the cemetery’s maintenance. The Khaenri’ahn doesn’t return.
Years after his departure, another human wanders into the forest. Her presence awakens you early, and you bring her to your temple upon sensing her wounded state.
Her injuries are severe, and you get blood all over your robes while stitching her wounds. After a brief introduction, she explains her situation.
“Your coworkers did this to you?”
“Yes,” says Alyona. “I tried to leave our organization and was branded a traitor.”
You look at the broken mask in her hands. “Where are you from, dear?”
Her eyes are glossy with tears. “Snezhnaya. Have you heard of the Fatui, miss?”
“I haven’t.”
“That makes sense; it is the new political department of my nation. They aspire to fulfill our Archon’s vision of a perfect world, but the things I’ve seen…”
She stares at her bandaged legs. You pat her back.
“It’s all right. You’re safe now.”
Her expression turns fearful. “No, even if I—the director of the Fatui personally recruited me! He knows who I am. Once he hears about this, he won’t let me escape so easily!”
Poor thing. “And who is he, may I ask?”
She visibly shudders. “I know nothing about him but he called himself Pierro, the Jester. His gaze is terrifying; I’ll see those diamond pupils in my nightmares.”
You stare at her. “His pupils were diamond-shaped?”
“Diamonds,” she confirms. “He doesn’t look like a native of Snezhnaya, but that doesn’t matter. He is devoted to the Tsaritsa; he said it himself.”
She continues describing him. Strong build, pale blue irises, silver hair with a dark streak in it, a refined way of speaking.
“Where is she?!”
You startle. Someone—no, two people have entered the forest. One of them mentions Alyona.
“Miss?” She tugs on the hem of your veil. “I should leave. I can’t put you in danger.”
“The same can be said for you, little one.”
Outside the temple, the mist thickens. You sense the reactions of Alyona’s pursuers.
“Katya? Where did you go?!”
“How did I end up back here?”
There, she should be safe now. You smile at Alyona.
“Don’t worry about me; I’ll keep you safe until you recover. Afterwards, you can take refuge in the nearby city. The locals are kind.”
“Thank you so much, Miss ______!” She wipes her tears and looks around the temple. “Who is this temple dedicated to, anyway?”
“A nameless god,” you reply nonchalantly. “She died a long time ago.”
“That’s too bad. She must’ve been a splendid being if her priestess is this kind.”
“Not really. The world has no more use for her.”
iv. oderint dum metuant
In the years following Alyona’s departure, more Fatui defectors wander into your territory.
You help all of them. In your human guise, you treat their wounds and guide them to Miseria. Their pursuers give up after spending hours lost in your mist.
A few have stories about their leader, be it hearsay or personal anecdotes. Their narratives only provide more evidence that he could be the Khaenri’ahn you saved years ago.
Pierro, the Jester.
So it seems that the Cryo Archon took him in. He must be doing extremely well if he now holds authority over Snezhnaya. Could the Fatui’s objective align with his grudge against Celestia? Is that why he swore loyalty to the Tsaritsa?
You don’t visit Snezhnaya for confirmation. If Pierro is truly your old companion, nothing good will come out of your reunion. You are better off as a memory.
*✧・゚
You sleep for an entire year this time.
Your solo celebrations have become unbearable and none of your friends will call you out for skipping their birthdays.
You do wake up for Oizys’s death anniversary. His grave remains a barren bed in the cemetery; not even your achlys flowers could flourish. The eyes of his statue have cracked, so you cover them with thicker clouds of mist.
Hunger eludes you. After greeting Oizys, you go to the kitchen and keep your tableware in the cupboard. It will only erode if you leave it in the dish rack for another year. Or what about two? Ten? A century, even?
No one will wake you up, anyway.
“______?”
You almost drop your plate. Is that an ex-Fatui acquaintance? You already forbade their visits. Before you can reinforce the mist, the person speaks again.
“█████.”
The plate shatters into pieces. You run out of the temple.
They know your real name.
The voice is familiar. And their location…
The edge of the forest has less achlys flowers these days. Someone is standing under a dead tree. Before you can call out to them, they turn in your direction and make eye contact.
Four-pointed stars.
He is the first to speak. “______, you haven’t changed at all.”
Before you know it, you are running towards him. “It’s you!”
The Khaenri’ahn gives you one of his rare smiles. “It appears that you remember me.”
“How could I not?” You stand in front of him, taking in his appearance. “Wow, I almost didn’t recognize you.”
He looks so different. Neat hairstyle, elegant Snezhnayan clothing, a black mask over the right half of his face. Has his posture improved? His demeanor is dignified, imposing even.
You unconsciously fix your robes. “It’s been so long. What happened to you?”
“I have found a new home in Snezhnaya,” he explains, “and devoted myself to Her Majesty the Tsaritsa. I believe you already know of the Fatui.”
“I’ve heard rumors,” you reply carefully. “You are the first Harbinger, correct?”
His expression turns serious. “You are not mistaken. Along with the title of Jester, I took on a new name. You may address me as Pierro.”
Was his gaze always so intense? It feels as though he is sizing you up.
You look away. “Then I can finally put a name to your face. If I may ask, why the Tsaritsa? I don’t know her personally, but the last thing I expected was for you to pledge loyalty to an Archon.”
“Neither did I,” says Pierro. His voice takes a reverent tone. “Her Majesty understands my pain. Through the Fatui, we will rebel against Celestia and create a new world.”
Your mind flits to Alyona and her successors. How many people will be sacrificed for such a lofty goal? And why do you feel so conflicted? Isn’t this what he wanted?
“I see. Your plan sounds outrageous but it must be promising if you are the one in charge,” you reply, smiling. “You’ve come so far. You should be proud of yourself.”
There is a faint glimmer in his eyes. “Your recognition is paramount.”
A heavy silence hangs in the air. What else can you say to him? Should you invite him to your temple? Why is he taking time out of his schedule to visit you anyway?
Pierro looks around the forest. “Have you been doing well?”
“More or less. Never mind me, I’d like to hear more about your new life.” You lean against the dead tree, twirling the hem of your veil. “So, a rebellion against the divine. How does one go about doing that?”
He takes a step closer to you. “Naturally, it will take years of preparation. In the present, I can see to it that our smaller objectives are accomplished.”
“All right, so what will you do now?”
“I shall overthrow the gods of the Old World, starting with you.”
Pierro slams his hand against the tree, cornering you. His other hand seizes your arm, holding it tightly enough to crush the bones.
“Pierro!” You bite back a cry of pain. “I—what are you doing?!”
Any and all traces of familiarity have left his face.
“█████, you have officially been recognized as a threat to the Fatui,” he declares. “Had you taken a neutral stance, we could have sought diplomatic relations. The assistance you have provided for the Tsaritsa’s traitors, however, cannot be overlooked.”
Of course he knows about Alyona and the others.
The mist swirls around you. Just before you can create a diversion, Pierro strengthens his grip on your arm. An unspoken warning.
You can’t keep the fear out of your voice. “I…what will you do with me?”
Overthrow the gods…will he kill you? But wait, your death could end up like Havria’s or Pasithea’s! You should warn him—
“Nevertheless, your punishment has been reduced by the mercy of Her Majesty.”
Don’t relax yet. He is still holding you. “What do you mean by that?”
Pierro puts his hand under your chin, tilting your face upwards. “What you are, truly, is an archaic god who poses little threat to the Fatui. I inferred as much from my time spent with you. For that reason, I personally pleaded your case.”
You can’t look him in the eye. “Then what exactly is my punishment?”
“I promised the Tsaritsa that I would oversee your subjugation by my side.”
“…Excuse me?”
The look on his face is completely serious. “I came here to bring you to Snezhnaya.”
Your arm shakes within his grasp. “And if I refuse?”
Pierro’s gaze pierces through your veil. “I advise you to be tactful in your decision, lest the city of Miseria be implicated.”
The mist rises.
“What do you mean?! Oizys’s people have nothing to do with this!”
He raises an eyebrow. “Are they wholly innocent? They have accepted numerous Fatui defectors regardless of their circumstances. We have yet to deliver retribution to the traitors.”
“No!” You shake your head, tears filling your eyes. “Please don’t—I’ll do anything!”
Your knees hit the ground. You bow your head, allowing the mist to disperse.
“I’ll listen to you! Just don’t hurt them, I beg of you!”
This whole time, you have endangered Oizys’s followers.
Pierro’s voice cuts through the fog clouding your thoughts.
“You astound me, ______. Your compassion knows no bounds, even for those who do not worship you. I now understand why your friend had deemed you soft-hearted.”
You remain in your servile position, staring at the ground. Pierro’s hand returns to your face, gripping it roughly under your veil. His thumb strokes your cheek and catches a stray tear.
How pathetic you must look in his eyes.
It is his next words, spoken in a soft tone, which make you shudder.
“That means you are a worthy soul for the New World.”
*✧・゚
You give up your territory shortly thereafter.
Pierro doesn’t let you return to your temple for any belongings. He simply guides you to the waiting carriage, keeping his hand on your back. The only thing more humiliating than your earlier display of submission are the chains cuffed to your wrists.
You take down the mist before you leave. Without its veil, the forest looks small and unremarkable. Whatever the Fatui does with it, you hope the cemetery will be preserved.
The trip to Snezhnaya is quiet. You say nothing to Pierro when he gives you a coat for the cold climate, neither when he escorts you to Zapolyarny Palace, not even during your introduction to the Tsaritsa.
You understand why he would serve her. The Cryo Archon is a sacrosanct figure and her mere presence makes you shiver. While she regards you with a cold gaze and some curious words, she clearly doesn’t perceive you as an equal.
Neither do you miss Pierro’s reverent attitude towards her. When the Tsaritsa demands your utmost loyalty, it is his gaze which scares you into bowing before her.
Never mind your pride, you are dealing with the god who made his goal possible.
After the tense meeting, you return to the carriage. Snezhnaya is a far cry from your old territory, but the people seem capable of enduring the harsh environment. They have no trouble finding their way in the snow.
Your final destination is Pierro’s estate. You give him a confused look when he identifies the grand manor, but he leads you inside.
The foyer is lined with masked servants. They silently greet Pierro; some curiously glance in your direction. Before anyone can ask, Pierro’s hand moves to your shoulder.
“This is ______,” he announces. “Henceforth, she is the lady of the estate.”
What?
The gasps that echo across the foyer aren’t yours. You can only stare at Pierro, your chains clinking with how quickly you turned to face him.
The serious look on his face is what silences everyone.
Pierro continues speaking but your mind is too foggy to process his words. His hand is still on your shoulder, a visible confirmation of his earlier statement. The unanimous “Yes, Lord Harbinger!” is what draws you back into reality.
The servants disperse. Only two women remain.
Pierro lets go of your shoulder. “I expect Lady ______ to be ready by dinnertime.”
They bow. “Yes, Lord Harbinger!”
He lightly pushes you in their direction. You hesitantly follow them, feeling his gaze on your back until you disappear up the stairs. The handmaidens lead you to a lavish bedroom.
Your own chambers. How considerate.
The shorter handmaiden takes out a key and unlocks your chains. They work quickly, cleaning you in the en suite bathroom then dressing you up. The wardrobe is fully stocked with elegant dresses, all in Snezhnayan fashion. The blue diamond jewelry looks familiar.
You don’t protest as they alter an ornate gown and help you into it. Neither do you cast a glance at your old robes discarded on the floor. They let you keep your veil, at least.
*✧・゚
Pierro is already seated at the dining table when you enter.
“Your new attire befits you,” is all he says.
The handmaidens close the door behind you. You walk over to the empty chair.
Fancy tableware, gourmet food, a banquet table with more distance between the chairs.
“Thank you,” you reply bitterly, sitting down. “Is that all you have to say? Because I have so many questions for you.”
His gaze is still trained on you. “You may speak.”
“All right, where do I start?” You lift your veil, exposing your face. “I didn’t expect this kind of prison. And what did you call me earlier? I’ve had my fair share of admirers, but none were so brazen as to pursue a god.”
Your jewelry twinkles under the bright light. It matches Pierro’s diamond accessories.
His face betrays no emotion. “Make no mistake, your previous act of kindness had no bearing on my decision to save your life. You may find it to your benefit to respect your savior.”
What a charming word. “Of course, I’d hate to be a nuisance.”
You sample your soup. It tastes like borscht.
Pierro just watches you. The tension in the room is thick, so unlike your previous meals together. You aren’t in the mood for any idle conversation.
“Why am I here, Pierro?” You put down your spoon and sit back in your chair. “I can’t imagine why a prisoner of the Fatui should have such luxurious accommodations or a status like the Jester’s…partner.”
“And what were your expectations?” he asks.
“To be kept in a cell. To have my powers utilized for your organization. To be, I don’t know, treated like a pawn.”
His gaze remains unfathomable. “Was I not clear with my intentions? You are meant for the New World, so I intend to keep you safe until our objective is achieved.”
“And it just so happens that only you can fulfill the role of my warden.” You rest your head on your palm, eyes wide. “You have truly surprised me.”
What use could the New World possibly have for you?
Another uncomfortable silence. Both servings of soup are left untouched.
It is Pierro who speaks again.
“You will not be without basic needs or comfort, so long as you listen to me. Regarding your current lodgings, I will confess that it is a reciprocation of your kindness. But that is all there is to it—never forget that you would be dead if not for me.”
The diamonds in his eyes shine bright with resolution.
“Rest assured, the Fatui will not make a pawn out of you,” he continues. “From this day forth, you are liberated from your divine burden.”
You belatedly realize just how far you have fallen. Stripped of your divine attire, trapped in a foreign nation, left to the mercy of a powerful human.
Likewise, any act of defiance would only make the Tsaritsa doubt her trust in him.
“I see. Thank you, I think I have a clearer idea of my situation.”
Your appetite is nonexistent, but you force yourself to eat. The sound of metal scraping against porcelain comes only from your side of the table.
“Is the food to your satisfaction?”
You stare at your bowl. “The borscht is too sweet.”
“I will tell the chef to rectify their mistake.” After a short pause, Pierro adds, “Are you still fond of cooking?”
“Not really. I lost my passion for it a long time ago.”
“That is a shame,” he says. “You were quite adept with the knife.”
v. nitimur in vetitum semper, cupimusque negata
Pierro wasn’t lying about the reality of your prison. It takes a while to adjust to your new routine, however.
Each morning, your handmaidens wake you up early for breakfast. Your meals with Pierro remain tense; he initiates most of the conversations.
After breakfast, he leaves for Zapolyarny Palace while you remain in the manor. You have no one to interact with, given the servants’ fearful dispositions, but he is gracious enough to give you a new pastime.
“You expect me to study?”
Your desk is stacked high with books. Judging by the titles, most of them pertain to the history and culture of Snezhnaya.
Pierro takes another book off the shelf. “Did you expect a life of nothing but luxury? You have lived an idle life for the previous centuries, ______, but your archaic knowledge will prove irrelevant for the New World.”
And to think you had originally been in awe of his private library. You slump in your chair, frowning at the written worksheets.
“You are absolutely cruel.”
He gives you a stern look. “Do not think you can feign studying. Your handmaidens will supervise you to ensure your proper education.”
You glance at the two women standing by the door. What must be going through their heads right now? Did their job description prepare them for sights like this?
“And do you expect me to study all day?” you ask.
“Once you finish your studies, you may do whatever you like so long as you do not leave the estate. You need only read the introductions today.”
Honestly, he should’ve just left you to rot in a prison cell.
Pierro’s hand rests on your shoulder. “Your mental enrichment will be instrumental to your adjustment.”
He leaves the library.
Shaking your head, you open the first book. The history of Snezhnayan technology turns out to be an interesting topic, and you quickly move on to the corresponding worksheet. Aside from an enumeration quiz, there is a section for subjective questions. You mull over your answers and explain your stance.
An opportunity for psychoanalysis, perhaps. At least the political propaganda is tolerable.
Most of your free time is dedicated to naps. The manor is too warm for the natural formation of ordinary mist, while the outdoor mist is quick to freeze. The only personalized item in your bedchambers is an embroidery kit.
So he remembered another hobby of yours.
You think of Pierro’s finely-tailored suits. The style is a world away from his old Khaenri’ahn attire. Has he disposed of his old garments?
Pierro usually returns from work in time for dinner. After another tense meal, he retires to his private office. Unless he invites you over for conversation or chess games, you return to the solitude of your bedchambers.
You sleep in the middle of the bed.
*✧・゚
After a few months, Pierro allows you to leave the manor for the first time.
Zapolyarny Palace is as chilly as you remember. You don’t know why he brought you with him to begin with—he just banishes you to the sofa with your books and embroidery.
…He looks hard at work. Every time you peek at him, he is writing reports at his desk or speaking with a subordinate.
Thankfully, you don’t have to greet the Tsaritsa. You do pass by the Doctor’s laboratory on the way out, only to be startled by a chorus of crazed screams and hypnotic singing.
You stop in your tracks but Pierro quickly leads you away from Dottore’s wing.
Your next destination is a town square. The visit is more of a formal tour than a leisurely stroll, and the bustling activity ceases upon Pierro’s arrival. Still, you obediently walk by his side.
“Is that the Jester?!”
“Who is his companion?”
“Their veil suits the Fatui’s masks, doesn’t it?”
“Her expression looks quite solemn.”
He doesn’t pay the whispers any attention, so you do the same. The Snezhnayan crowd isn’t here for you.
A few people catch your eye. You pause and wave at them, offering a friendly smile.
Pierro’s hand presses down on your back.
The smile leaves your face. You don’t need to turn around to know that he is glaring at you—or is it the people you’d waved at? They look frozen with fear.
“Sorry,” you mutter, looking ahead.
The both of you continue walking.
*✧・゚
Pierro leaves for a mission in Mondstadt. You remain in the estate.
Without him, the days are monotonous but easygoing. You eat your meals in peace and accomplish your studies. In your second week, you make an unlikely friend.
“My lady?”
You look up from your embroidery hoop. “Yes?”
The shorter handmaiden points at the half-finished design. “What flower is this?”
Where is her coworker? This is the first time a servant has approached you on their own volition.
“Pasithea,” you reply, tracing the blue and violet threads. “It’s…a special flower which grows in only two areas of Teyvat.”
“It must be beautiful.” She glances at your finished pieces. “Your needlework is exquisite, my lady. Are you preferential to any designs?”
“Not really. Would you like to suggest one?”
She smiles. “What about a snowflake?”
Her change in disposition is welcoming. She almost reminds you of your last priestess Charis. She was always quick to suggest designs for her new robes.
“What is your name, dear?”
“Eva,” she replies brightly, “and my coworker is named Anya. Please excuse her absence today; she caught a cold.”
“Send her my regards.” You smile, straightening your veil. “And thank you for your earlier compliment. It’s been a while since someone has praised my craft.”
She tilts her head. “You are quite nice, my lady. No offense but given your introduction, none of us know what to think of you.”
“None taken,” you laugh. “Honestly, I was just as surprised as all of you.”
How long until Pierro returns? Didn’t he say two months at minimum?
“I’m suddenly craving Brightcrown tea. Could you please prepare some for me?”
“Oh, sure!” Eva walks over to the door. “I’ll be right back, my lady.”
You might as well take advantage of this opportunity.
The needle pricks your thumb. You wave your hand, allowing the blood to evaporate into mist. It swirls around the room and dissipates into the air.
One room down. It would be more effective if you use your thurible, but you shouldn’t doubt the staff’s perceptiveness. You’ll have to settle for just a little blood and dominion.
If only this territory was meant for their safety, not yours.
“My lady? Your tea will be brought here shortly.”
Eva is back. You hide your thumb, squeezing the wound to extract more mist.
“Thank you, dear. May I have a tour of the estate later?”
vi. amor et melle et felle est fecundissimus 
The remainder of Pierro’s mission is enjoyable. Eva and Anya are wonderful companions, and they introduce you to a few other servants. You chat with them often.
Your mist only claims part of the estate. Several rooms are locked with no gaps under the doors, including Pierro’s personal quarters. You do manage to sneak a few drops of blood through the keyhole of his private office.
The information gained is useless. You can only hear fragments of the servants’ chatter, mainly gossip about you or praise for your captor. They keep talking about the many benefits the Fatui provided for their hometowns, from new technology to public hearths.
At least he has made their lives easier.
You do hear about Pierro’s return ahead of time. The servants are agitated but not so much as you. You remind Eva and Anya to keep your camaraderie a secret.
He finds out, anyway.
“Your handmaidens have been terminated from their position.”
“What?”
You look up immediately. Pierro remains focused on the chessboard.
“I also dismissed two other servants,” he says, moving a pawn. “Starting tomorrow, their replacements will attend to your needs.”
“But why?”
His gaze is sharp. “I was informed that they had overstepped their boundaries. It is unprofessional for a servant to be overly friendly with the lady of the estate, much less request embroidery pieces and assistance in the kitchen.”
“That—I insisted on it!” Your hands shake, chess game forgotten.
Eva, Anya, those young cooks. All jobless because of you.
Your vision turns blurry. “Could you at least transfer them to another building or give them letters of recommendation?”
He sighs. “You are too kind for your own good, ______. What would you have done if those servants sought to take advantage of you?”
“They’re good people,” you insist, blinking back tears.
“Perhaps you are right. To which their own righteousness could have been manipulated for your personal gain.”
You glare at him. “I don’t plan to escape if that’s what you are thinking. I have nowhere to go and Miseria would be in danger.”
“Even so.” Pierro glances at your clenched fists. “Remember where your loyalties lie.”
You glance at your thumb. The wound has long healed, and your mist is currently down. You’d take this opportunity to claim Pierro’s office but he would surely notice.
“So what do you expect me to say? I understand? I’m sorry? Thank you for looking out for my safety?”
He remains unfazed by your anger. “Whatever you’d like to say. Your countenance already reveals much of your sentiments.”
“Well then.” You stand up, adjusting your veil. “What would you like to hear from me?”
There is a new medal on the wall, another personal accomplishment on display.
“Shall I sing you praises?” you ask, bowing. “Show my utmost gratitude?”
Pierro just watches you, a judgemental look on his face.
How did your last followers act in their throes of madness? It was sickening to witness.
You kneel on the floor, hands clasped together. “O, Lord Pierro, I humbly thank you for saving an undeserving creature such as myself! Had it not been for your benevolence, I would have been doomed to a life of sorrow. Your greatness is unparalleled. You have brought glory to Snezhnaya. The Tsaritsa—”
“That is enough.”
The anger in his tone is undeniable. You almost flinch from his glare.
“Cease these foolish theatrics at once,” he snarls. “It would do you well to remember that Her Majesty’s name shall not be disrespected.”
“My apologies.” Despite the shiver running down your spine, you bat your eyelashes innocently. “Shall I exclude her name and continue?”
His eyes flash. “Even a court jester has more wit about them. Sit back down.”
“Gladly.” You return to your chair, wiping the dust off your skirt. A smug smile crosses your face as you analyze the chessboard.
Your king is in a tight spot. Pierro meets your gaze, challenging you.
“Draw?” he asks.
You shake your head and make your next move.
*✧・゚
Pierro wins the chess game. Nonetheless, you are quite satisfied with the results.
Your new handmaidens are more formal with you. For their sake, you avoid any sort of unnecessary interaction with them. The estate is rife with gossip following the dismissal of the old servants, and you disperse the mist. You don’t want to think about them.
With no one to appreciate your embroidery, you take to roaming the estate in your free time. The manor is extravagant for two residents and most of the rooms are vacant. During one stroll, you find a half-open door near Pierro’s bedchambers.
Isn’t this room usually locked?
“My lady, where are you going? We’re forbidden—”
You smile at your handmaiden. “Did the Jester permit you to restrain me, Esfir? If he finds out about this, I’ll gladly vouch for your innocence.”
She turns to her coworker, exasperated. “Karine, call Alec. That careless idiot…”
You go inside.
The room is dark. Opening the curtains, you find what looks like several furniture pieces covered in sheets. The locked bookcase holds ancient books and scrolls.
You uncover one item and promptly lock the door.
“My lady!” Esfir bangs on the door. “What are you doing?”
You return to the unveiled statue, hands trembling. The figure’s translucent veil and swaying thurible are flawlessly sculpted. The marble is cracked but polished to perfection.
Isn’t this your statue from Vesta’s temple?
You uncover the other items. To your horror, all of them comprise your old religious art. Broken statues, deteriorated paintings, ceremonial relics. So many images of you.
Calm down, it could be worse. The items are hidden in this room, not displayed for worship. Pierro probably stole these to erase your remaining influence. But why didn’t he just destroy them? Why is the artwork well-preserved? Why are there so many?
You can’t stand looking at those faces. They are too serene, too divine, too deceptive.
You cover the items and leave the room. Esfir and Karine surround you, along with a terrified-looking servant.
“My lady, did you—!”
You close the door behind you. “Alec, dear? Do you normally clean these items?”
He tenses. “I only dust the covers and the room. Lord Pierro forbade me from unveiling the items, lest I be…laid off like my predecessor.”
“I see.” You smile at him through your veil. “Lock the door properly next time, okay? If you aren’t careful, these items could be destroyed beyond repair one day.”
Pierro makes no mention of his secret collection later that evening, but you notice more locks installed on the doors. Despite your best efforts, Alec is fired.
*✧・゚
Oizys’s birthday rolls around.
You sit by the window overlooking the garden. The estate grounds are a paradise of white snow and Snezhnayan flora. There are no berry bushes in sight.
At this hour, his festival in Miseria must’ve begun. You should be preparing for his private party right now. He always came home early for your berry shortcake.
The curtain is pulled over the window.
“How long do you plan to stare outside?”
Great, he’s here.
“Good morning.” You make no move to leave the armchair. “Why are you here?”
The door to your bedchambers is open. Esfir and Karine are gone.
Pierro rests his hand on the back of the chair. “Breakfast should have begun ages ago. Your handmaidens claim that you refuse to cooperate.”
They must be terrified right now. “I’m sorry, they tried their best. I’ll go now.”
“Are you thinking of the Child of Night?”
“...How do you know?”
He evades your question. “Your sorrow has not diminished in the slightest. Grieving his loss will not bring your friend back to life.”
You grip the armrest. “Do you think I don’t know that?”
“I can imagine what other thoughts are plaguing your mind,” he replies. He turns to face you, gaze somber. “However you may spin his tale, what remains certain is that you were faultless in his death.”
He’s wrong. “I know.”
Your doubt must be obvious because Pierro wraps his hand around your arm.
“What killed the Child of Night was his own foolishness,” he insists. “You may call yourself weak, unkind, cowardly even, but it was your conviction that spared you from his fate.”
Is he trying to make you feel better or worse?
“Will you please stop it?” you whisper. “I don’t want your pity right now.”
His grip on your arm tightens. “You misjudge my sentiments.”
“Really now?” You raise your head, glaring at him. “Because you have been doing a fine job at courting me, assuming that I have not misinterpreted my new title.”
Someone like you has no place by his side.
“It would be easier if you just hated me,” you mutter, blinking back tears. “At least then I would have a proper punishment.”
An audible sigh. “Such cynicism is rather unbecoming of your kindness.”
He lifts your veil.
Your eyes widen. “What are you—”
“Silence.”
The air feels cold against your face. The hand on your arm moves to your chin, tilting your face upwards. Pierro leans closer and you can only stare back at him, frozen in place.
Nothing about his gaze is condescending.
His lips press against yours.
Your breath hitches in your throat. Mist rises from the corners of the room and you hastily disperse it. Before you can fully process the soft sensation, he pulls away.
“Y-You…” The words won’t leave your mouth. “How dare…!”
“Are my intentions clearer?” Pierro gently brushes his thumb against your cheek, wiping away your tears.
You can’t answer. Your heart is racing and it takes everything to hide the mist from him. You squeeze your eyes shut, gripping the armrest with all of your strength.
Just as abruptly as he kissed you, Pierro lets go of you and lowers your veil.
“I must leave for work,” he says. His voice resumes its authoritative tone. “I will tell the chef to cook a warm breakfast for you later.”
With that, he leaves the room. The door closes behind him.
How dare he.
Mist swirls around the bedchambers. You wipe your mouth and cover your face, bunching up your veil in your hands. The warmth in your cheeks is internal.
…Despite your mortification, the fluttery feeling in your chest is not unwelcome.
vii. dulce est desipere in loco
Pierro doesn’t acknowledge his kiss later that evening.
In the subsequent days, he works longer hours. The two of you eat separate meals. Your conversations and chess games are halted. The servants’ gossip provides no insight into his change in behavior.
What is he up to?
You answer another worksheet, taking note of the date written on the top corner. Has it been this long since your capture? Since moving to Snezhnaya, the days have felt longer and more memorable.
“______.”
“Oh, why are you here?”
This is the first time he has visited you during your study sessions. Judging by the clock, he must have finished work early.
Pierro picks up one of your finished worksheets. “What an interesting opinion.”
You tilt your head. “You think so? I just wrote what was on my mind.”
In all honesty, the subjective portion is quite engaging. Occasionally, the questions are direct responses to your answers from previous tests, as though your tutor—Pierro himself?—is indirectly challenging you.
He turns to Esfir and Karine. “Lady ______ and I will eat an early dinner. You may tidy up the library and retire to the servants’ quarters.”
“Yes, Lord Harbinger!”
You hesitantly stand up. “What is the occasion?”
He places his hand on the small of your back. “Why don’t you find out?”
The hallway is quiet. You match Pierro’s pace, casting a few glances at him. He stares ahead with a neutral expression, intentions hidden. What is so important about this dinner that he must personally escort you?
He opens the double doors.
Achlys flowers.
Every vase in the room is filled with white flower spikes and large trifoliate leaves. Tapestries hang from the walls, restored to their vibrant colors.
“I…” You clap a hand over your mouth. “What is…?”
Pierro silently takes hold of your wrist and leads you inside.
Your chairs are positioned side-by-side this time. The table is set with familiar food—your favorites, all cooked and presented in your usual style. A large bouquet of achlys flowers rests on one placemat.
You lift your veil. “My eyes aren’t deceiving me, right? How did you find out?”
He pulls out the chair for you. “Why not take your place at the banquet?”
Words fail you. You sit down and pick up the bouquet. The achlys flowers are perfectly fresh, tied with ribbons in your religious color.
In the center of the table is a large cake topped with glowing candles.
“It pleases me to see that my research was fruitful.” Pierro takes his seat and faces you, a familiar smile on his face. “Happy birthday, ______.”
That is the last straw. You burst into tears.
You can’t stop crying. Tears roll down your cheeks, drip onto your skirt, soak into Pierro’s suit when he hugs you. He feels warm.
“I suggest that you cease your crying,” he murmurs. “The food will go cold.”
“Quiet,” you sniffle. You wrap your arms around him, pulling him closer. Making sure that this is real. “You can’t just surprise me like this and expect me to react calmly!”
It takes a few more minutes for the tears to stop. You reluctantly let go of Pierro, closing your eyes when his fingertips brush against your damp cheeks.
To think that he of all people would be the one to make you this happy.
The birthday candles are still lit. The flames dance in the air, brighter than any fire you’ve seen before. You blow out the candles and the flames extinguish into thin curls of smoke.
“It’s been so long since I last enjoyed my birthday,” you mutter. You slump in your chair, watching the last traces of smoke disappear. “I almost forgot just how old I am.”
What kind of life have you been living up to now?
Pierro cuts the cake and gives you a slice. The flavor is bittersweet yet familiar. It brings to mind a memory of you chastising him in your kitchen for messing up the same recipe.
You put down your spoon, feeling more tears spring to your eyes. “This is all too much for one person, you know.”
He side-eyes you. “I believe that such splendor is to be expected for a god’s festival.”
“Oh, please.” You shake your head, smiling. “You deserve a grander celebration for your own birthday. If there is one thing you humans have over us gods, it is your ability to accomplish so much within your short lifespans. Compared to you…I never did enough.”
“I care not for such festivities,” he replies, holding your hand, “and I must say that you are gravely mistaken regarding your own personal significance.”
There is something so tender about his words. His other hand cups the side of your face, beckoning you to meet his gaze. Those four-pointed stars seem to peer into your soul, shining brighter than any celestial being in the sky.
“If there is one good thing which came out of your life, it was saving mine.”
Your heart twists in your chest. Try as you might, you can’t look away.
“I…I see.” Your hand shakes within his grasp. You want nothing more than to pull your veil over your face.
He knows just the right words to win people over.
This time, it’s you who prolongs the chaste kiss he gives you. It’s you who intertwines your fingers together. It’s you who whimpers when he pulls away. To your frustration, he remains mostly unfazed but the look in his eyes doesn’t lie.
How long has it been since you last enjoyed physical intimacy? What about him?
Oh well, you could play the fool for one night.
“Well, Pierro, this has been an impressive festival,” you tell him, smirking. “But where is my offering? Did you think a paltry kiss would suffice?”
“Oh?” He holds your gaze, eyes darkened. “According to the ancient records, only the divine friends of the God of Mist were expected to provide gifts. I presumed myself to be an exception to this tradition.”
“You disappoint me. But don’t worry, you can make up for it right now.”
The corners of his mouth tilt upwards. “And what exactly do you desire from me?”
You lay a hand on his chest. The pale blue diamonds of his necktie twinkle under the light, dimmer than his eyes.
“I believe you know exactly what I want,” you reply. Wispy gray marks travel up your limbs and around your eyes. “Are you up for the challenge?”
You aren’t even given a few seconds before Pierro clutches your waist and pulls you into another kiss, stealing your breath. His other hand cups the back of your head and pulls off your veil.
“Very well,” he says. “I might as well oblige you.”
*✧・゚
You are never underestimating humans ever again.
The room is dark. If you close your eyes, you can imagine yourself within a void. The Abyss, maybe. Any lovely dark place where your debauchery could go unacknowledged.
Offering? You were referring to your own birthday gift, right? So why did you end up feeling like one for your captor?
Pierro lightly shakes you. “______, have you fallen asleep?”
“No, I haven’t,” you reply quickly. You turn your head in his direction, chest heaving. “I’m just exhausted.”
The complacent gleam in his eyes is absolutely maddening. Even with his mask off, his face is both familiar and different. The way he looks at you is earnest yet far from reverent.
Is this the same person you saved all those years ago? How can the voice which once weakly cried for help whisper such degrading things in your ear?
You raise your arm to inspect your wrist. Dark bruises mix with the wispy marks, from when he pinned you to the bed. Combined with the warm ache in your abdomen and knees…
You feel utterly desecrated.
Pierro holds you tightly, turning your body to face him. Loose strands of silver hair fall over his face. Familiar scars litter his bare skin, including those you’d healed.
“We missed dinner,” he murmurs. “Would you like to eat something later? It would be a waste of the banquet preparations.”
His gaze makes you shrink. Where in the world is your veil?
You sit up. “No, I’m fine. We can eat it tomorrow.”
Somehow, the thought of your party leftovers doesn’t feel unappetizing at all.
Pierro’s mask and your veil are on the night-table, along with your diamond jewelry. Your dress should be somewhere on the floor.
He grips your arm. “Where are you going?”
You sheepishly face him, wincing at the light pressure. “Going to my room. To sleep.”
He sighs, pulling you closer. “Stay.”
“...All right.”
His bed is soft. You return to his arms and rest your head on the pillow, giving in to your exhaustion. He’s saying something. Something kind, judging by his tone. Your name.
The left side of the bed is comfortable.
viii. flectere si nequeo superos, acheronta movebo
Your relationship has improved since your birthday.
As much as you hate to admit it, you’ve become more resigned to your captivity. It’s so easy to ignore the reality of your situation when you feel so happy.
Pierro has been kinder to you. Beneath his strict exterior, you’ve been seeing more traces of your old companion. The proximity between your chairs remains close and you permanently move to his bedchambers. Your conversations have become more intimate.
“Am I allowed to be this happy?”
“What do you mean?”
Pierro looks up from the chessboard. You move another piece.
“I don’t know,” you mutter. “It’s just…you really don’t want me to do anything for you? You’re just going to keep me around for the New World?”
He moves a black queen this time. “I told you before: Your former status is no longer a concern. There is no need for you to question your place by my side.”
“I know but—” You shake your head and focus on the game. “Never mind.”
Pierro clearly isn’t satisfied with that response. Feeling the weight of his gaze, you adjust your veil. He didn’t suspect anything from your recent Flower Ball embroidery, but your puffy eyes will be an obvious hint to Havria’s birthday.
Your king is cornered again. As you move a pawn, the door slams open.
“Lord Harbinger! There has been an emergency!”
A Fatui officer rushes inside, followed by two frantic maids. Surprised, you slide the pawn to the wrong square and knock over a few chess pieces.
The air grows cold.
“I do not recall permitting an audience with you, Lieutenant Dominik.”
Even you flinch in response. Despite his composure, Pierro’s irritation is evident. The fearful “We tried to stop him!” of the maids affirms that.
Dominik kneels on the floor. “Forgive me, my lord! But this is an urgent matter!”
Pierro turns to the maids. “Escort Lady ______ to our bedchambers.”
“Yes, Lord Harbinger!”
“Pierro.” You turn to him, hesitantly leaving the sofa. “I’ll be waiting for you.”
“I will see you once this matter is settled,” is all he tells you, staring down your unwelcome visitor. “I expect more competence from an informant of your ranking, Lieutenant.”
Dominik shudders, remaining in their kneeling position. You follow the maids out of his private office and into the hallway. Just as they close the door, you hear their voices.
“The Child of Ni—”
“Silence.”
What?
“My lady?” One of the maids—Sofia, you think—turns to you. “We must go.”
“Of course.” You cast a final glance at the door before you begin walking. “Thank you.”
Were they going to say ‘Night’? They couldn’t possibly be talking about him, could they?
The bedchambers are quiet. The maids leave you inside and close the door. You lie in bed, staring at the empty space next to you. You can trust Pierro…right?
Just in case, you wave your hand and imagine the private office. Soon enough, you hear two voices. Soft, fragmented, but audible.
“...divine karma…many afflicted.”
“...send more troops…Miseria.”
Did Pierro just mention Oizys’s city? Why would he still care about Miseria?
You continue listening.
“Bad…cursed. Misery, misfortune…”
“...remains? Dispirited soldiers…assured victories.”
Misery, misfortune…why are they discussing Oizys’s divine ability? What does it have to do with warfare? And what did they mean about karmic debt?
Your nails dig into the mattress.
“...others? Archon Residue…”
“The Doctor sent a report…early stages.”
“Inform me…public hearths were…exceptional fire.”
“...singing. Hallucinations have…”
The taste of metal invades your mouth but you continue to bite down on your lip.
They could only be talking about Vesta and Pasithea. And what’s this about Archon Residue and the Doctor’s involvement?!
Vesta’s extinguished fire. The strange singing you heard from the Second Harbinger’s laboratory. Their discussion of Oizys’s curse and victory.
Has the Fatui been using your friends’ remains this whole time?
Blood trickles down your chin. With a shaky hand, you wipe it clean and turn to the right side of the bed. Would he really do this after everything you told him?
The voices suddenly sound clearer. Have they moved closer to the door?
“Where are you going, my lord?”
“I will summon a maid. The humidity level in the room has suddenly risen.”
Pierro leaves the office.
*✧・゚
“It appears that my suspicions were not unfounded.”
Pierro is straight to the point. You rise from the bed, glaring at his figure in the doorway.
On the blanket, a smear of blood evaporates into mist.
“How long have you known?”
“I’ve had my suspicions,” he replies, glaring. “How much of our conversation did you overhear?”
“Enough to give myself away, clearly,” you reply, gripping the bedpost. “So tell me, what is so urgent about Miseria that Lieutenant Dominik came here without permission?”
They specifically mentioned divine karma. Does this mean that Oizys…?
“There is no use in concealing information from you,” he sighs. “In summary, your former territory and the city of Miseria have been beset with curses in the previous months. We presume it to be the lingering resentment of the Child of Night.”
“And why is that?”
Pierro crosses his arms. “There have been sightings of a demon in your cemetery. It bears a striking resemblance to the religious imagery of your deceased friend.”
“I see,” you reply, gritting your teeth, “and what will you do to him?”
“That is confidential information.”
“Oh, really?” Your voice rises in volume, as does the mist on the blanket. “I think I have every right to know about Oizys and your other secrets. Tell me, what have you done with my friends’ remains?”
There is zero remorse on his face. “If you are pertaining to the Lord of the Hearth and the Goddess of Consciousness, then you can already deduce my answer.”
“How dare you!”
Mist swirls around the room, heavy and thick, but Pierro manages to cross the room towards you. You raise your arm but he catches it quickly.
“I advise you to be rational,” he snaps. “The Child of Night is dead. Whatever is prowling in your former territory is no longer your friend.”
“Don’t touch me!”
Your attempt to raise the mist is dashed as Pierro pins you to the bed. He grips your wrists with enough force to make you panic.
“Is this what you will do with me eventually?” you shout. Hot tears flow down the sides of your face. “Do you intend to make an instrument out of me as well?!”
Stupid. Not even Havria was this trustful.
“You already know how their deaths affected me, that their graves were still important to me! How could you—”
You struggle some more, only to shriek when Pierro strengthens his grip.
“I advise that you remember your place,” he says coldly, removing your veil and setting it aside. “Though your soul is worthy for the New World, even you are not safe from my scorn.”
“I don’t want to hear that right now! I’ve had enough of you and the Tsari—!”
A resounding pop interrupts you, followed by your pained scream. The only thing more excruciating than your sprained wrist is the sensation of Pierro’s fingertips wiping your tears.
“As I said, no harm will come to you so long as you are loyal to Her Majesty,” he tells you. “Your friends have long fallen, and your personal sentiments offer little insight into the importance of preserving their memory.”
“You…” Your voice is reduced to pathetic whimpers. “I…I thought I…”
Those diamond pupils hold your gaze, cold and unforgiving. “That is final.”
You should have left him to die that day.
The mist recedes.
*✧・゚
You return to your old bedchambers.
The doors and windows are locked. Your embroidery kit is confiscated along with the needles. Esfir and Karine visit you with your study material and meals on a tray, but you reject most of them. It takes a while to readjust to your empty bed.
You don’t see much of Pierro in the following days. He spends less time in the estate to evade your supervision, and the servants’ gossip is hushed. You receive no more news on Oizys and your friends’ remains.
Your wrist is treated. The ice pack numbs your pain but it barely helps. You can’t forget the ruthless look on Pierro’s face when he hurt you.
You’ve never felt more angry with yourself.
Why did you let him do all of this to begin with? Out of fear or pity? Because his dreams of the New World trumped your own worthless existence?
You could spite him. Fall asleep for a century…or more? As the Tsaritsa’s underling, he is probably granted immortality. Perhaps you shouldn’t wake up at all.
But Oizys is still out there.
“Karine?”
She puts down the breakfast tray. “Yes, my lady?”
Esfir also turns to you, bandages in hand.
“When is the Jester returning from his mission?” you ask.
They exchange looks. “We are not allowed to share that information.”
“All right. Could you at least give this to him when he returns?” You give Karine a signed envelope, wincing at the pain radiating from your wrist.
“Of course, my lady. We will do so immediately.”
“Thank you for everything,” you whisper, “and I’m sorry.”
A ball of mist hovers under your palm, accompanied by flecks of light.
“My lady, what are you—!”
Your thurible is pristine from years of disuse. You quickly open it and swipe your palm through the built-in blade. Blood spills into the censer.
Dark clouds emanate from your Catalyst, obscuring the room and filtering through the keyhole. Esfir and Karine rush towards you, only to disappear into the mist. You raise the mist in the manor, hearing their screams in the hallway along with their coworkers’.
“Where am I?”
“How did we end up in the kitchen?!”
“I can’t reach the foyer!”
“Inform Lord Pierro at once!”
Their panic is unbearable. You can sense every scream, every frantic movement, every cry for help. But this time, you must resist the urge to help them.
The window is next. It takes a few tries but your thurible finally smashes the glass.
“I’m sorry,” you repeat to the empty bedroom.
The servants will be fine. The mist will disappear in a few days, or perhaps earlier if you are slain first. Then the manor will be free from your dominion. Your signed letter will prove their innocence.
You swing your thurible, smiling. What will the Fatui make out of you, you wonder? A special weapon? A tool to spy on their enemies? Or maybe they will keep you alive to harvest your blood for the rest of eternity.
That doesn’t matter. It is only fair after all that you’ve survived.
ix. memento vivere
Miseria has fallen.
Your brief inspection is devastating. The Fatui has taken control over the city. The historic temple has been replaced with a church for the Tsaritsa. The people are consumed with misery and anxiety, likening their misfortune to a divine curse.
You almost cannot believe it. Oizys’s punishments were never this harsh.
You advance to your old territory before any Fatui officers notice you. After subduing so many pursuers, you already feel the strain from using your powers. Your thurible had to be refilled numerous times.
Your territory is even more unrecognizable. In your absence, the forest has been converted to a facility site. A Snezhnayan-style building stands in the place of your temple. The pasithea flowers have died out.
Surprisingly, the achlys flowers have multiplied. Fields of white flower spikes grow amongst the remaining flora in stark contrast to the unburied corpses.
So many masked humans. Did Oizys kill all of them?
A thick miasma of divine karma permeates the area, growing stronger as you approach the cemetery. Several graves have been excavated, leaving gaping holes in the ground. The two statues are missing.
A dark figure stands over an empty grave, holding a bloody Claymore.
“Oizys?”
He turns around. “█████?!”
The divine karma is so oppressive. You remain in your spot, but Oizys closes the distance and captures you in a tight hug. You nearly collapse from the miasma.
“It’s…is it really you?” you whisper.
A large smile cuts his shadowy face. “Who else?”
He feels so cold.
You pull away, processing the sight before you. This isn’t the body you cleaned and buried all those years ago. It is incorporeal, hazy at the edges, marred with bleeding wounds. Instead of his death suit, he is wearing his bloody robes with ruined embroidery.
You never wanted to see his mutilated corpse ever again.
No, you shouldn’t think that. This is still Oizys.
Pain throbs from your sprained wrist. You look down to find him touching your bandages.
“█████.” He grips your wrist tightly. “What happened to you?”
“It’s nothing to worry about,” you reply quickly, slipping out of his grasp. “Listen, you’re in serious danger. I don’t know if there’s a way for you to leave but—”
“Leave?” He stares at you with bloodshot eyes. “I come back and you’re gone, not a trace of mist left. The next thing I know, these masked Snezhnayans take over, destroying your temple and the cemetery! And you expect me to leave after all that?”
The miasma is overwhelming. Unsettled, you take a step back.
He doesn’t notice. “And do you know what I found in my own city? Those ungrateful ants worshiping the Cryo Archon as though I had never existed!”
You shake your head vehemently. “Oizys, don’t take it out on your people. They—”
“Is this how you felt?” he laughs bitterly, tears rolling down his cheeks. “I knew it. I shouldn’t have accepted your followers back then. I should have punished them for you.”
“You can’t say that!” you exclaim. “Think about it clearly; it’s one thing to harm the Fatui but they were all innocent!”
There is a murderous look in his eyes.
“Oh, █████,” he frowns. “Have you learned nothing from how humanity abused your kindness? How they abandoned you and killed our friends?”
He’s wrong. “That…I couldn’t provide for them or fulfill my duty!”
“Those wretched creatures caused our suffering!”
His voice cracks on the last word. Oizys coughs up black smoke and you immediately approach him, only for him to step back.
“Forget it,” he snaps. “It’s useless to convince you.”
“Says the person who joined a war and gained nothing from killing what must’ve been several civilians! At least I’m still alive,” you shoot back.
“Well, I wouldn’t have died if you had joined me.”
What did he just say?
The miasma intensifies. When Oizys raises his head, there is only disdain in his eyes.
“Among our friends, why did it have to be you?” he whispers. “Maybe things would have turned out differently if someone else survived.”
“Oizys.” Tears fill your eyes. “You…you don’t really mean that, do you?”
This isn’t right. This isn’t how it usually goes. It should be you saying that and him assuring you otherwise. If even he believes that, what else can you think?
His gaze flits from your wrist to your neck. “You didn’t answer my question earlier. Did those humans hurt you? Why are you wearing a foreign necklace?”
Your necklace? You look down, belatedly realizing that you are still wearing your necklace from Pierro. The pale blue diamonds twinkle in the fading light.
“Wait.” He touches the pendant under your veil. “I’ve seen this style before; it’s not from Snezhnaya. The design, the material…”
“Hey, not too close.” You try to step away but he keeps a firm grip on the chain.
“Is this from Khaenri’ah?”
You can’t look him in the eye. “I—”
“It would benefit you to lay your hands off what is mine.”
You are doomed.
Pierro enters the cemetery, wielding a sword. Despite his serious expression, his gaze is absolutely livid.
Oizys merely scoffs. “Another masked offender. How many of you—”
He stops talking, gripping your necklace tighter. His eyes fix on Pierro’s diamond accessories then his pupils.
“█████.” Any remaining warmth for you has been dashed. “Is he from that nation?”
You can’t answer him. Neither can you meet Pierro’s cold glare.
It’s too late. Oizys leaves your side and appears in front of him, swinging his Claymore, but Pierro dodges it in time. The miasma thickens.
“You wretched human!” he shouts, attempting another swipe. “How dare you!”
A dark blue galaxy-like aura appears in Pierro’s hand, shooting at Oizys’s neck. He gasps, clawing at his throat, but the Khaenri’ahn magic restrains him.
You grip your thurible. “Stop, you’ll—!”
Pierro’s glare is absolutely chilling. “I have finally been granted an audience with you, Child of Night. On behalf of my fallen compatriots, I return your blow.”
“I should have wiped out your despicable race until my dying breath!”
Oizys sets himself free and hits Pierro’s sword this time. The latter stumbles, only to quickly recover and fight back.
You rush towards them, swinging your thurible to spread the mist. Even if you can’t do much, you should at least distract Pierro and give your friend a chance to escape.
“Oizys, don’t underestimate—!”
The blade that cuts you isn’t Pierro’s.
Your back hits a gravestone, but what shocks you is the pain radiating from your cheek. Through the tear in your veil, you make out a disgusted expression.
Oizys looks away. “Just disappear already, █████.”
Why would he say such terrible things to you?
Pierro turns to you, eyes widening. Suddenly, he goes on the offense and successfully strikes Oizys in the leg. Whatever magic he had used earlier is imbued within his sword.
Oizys steps back, crashing into a patch of achlys flowers. He swings his Claymore again, slicing several flowers in the process. “Die already!”
You touch your cheek. Blood drips from the wound and onto the ground. Oizys didn’t hesitate to hurt you, not that he needed to in the first place—you were nowhere close to Pierro. The beheaded achlys flowers litter the ground, quickly trampled.
That thing is no longer Oizys.
What should you do now? The mist engulfs the entire cemetery. You can sense the entire battle. Oizys keeps flinging insults at Pierro, talking about how he will properly punish humanity this time. The latter doesn’t say much.
“You are gravely mistaken. I am not allowing her to escape from me.”
Oizys’s blade grazes his shoulder.
Pierro…did he just stumble?! Oizys laughs and hits him again.
The mist rises. You sense a shocked gasp as the ghost steps forward and gets transported to the other side of the cemetery.
“█████? Did you—”
The mist parts between you and Oizys. There is more blood on his clothes—Pierro’s, not his own. He stares at you, dumbstruck.
“Has your mind been utterly broken?!”
He runs towards you, only to disappear into a cloud of mist. You dodge his attacks, careful to keep Pierro at a distance. You take a few more steps and allow Oizys to find you.
He lunges at you, only to be splattered with a spray of blood.
Right in the eyes.
Mist rises from his eyes and wraps around his face.
He figures it out quickly. “█████! How could you do this to me?!”
His screams are too much to bear. You ignore both his frantic thoughts and the renewed pain in your arm.
Oizys begins stumbling in circles. The mist claims him, covering his eyes and obscuring his vision. This isn’t enough. It will take—
A blade cuts through his heart.
Pierro? When did he find you?
With a final cry, Oizys collapses to the ground. The miasma clears. His body turns more hazy and he ceases to think. When you approach his corpse and release your claim, his eyes are cloudy.
He’s gone.
A pained groan snaps you out of your thoughts. Pierro keels over, clutching his shoulder.
“Pierro!” Quickly, you help him sit down. “Where does it hurt? Do you feel faint?!”
Your voice can’t keep up with your thoughts. You grip his arms and inspect the wounds, horrified when you hear another hiss of pain. His mask lays on the ground, half-broken. There’s so much blood. You can’t lose—
“Compose yourself.”
He grabs your arm. The diamonds in his eyes are so clear, so bright.
“I…” You try to pull away. “Are you really all right?”
His grip is so tight, unwilling to let go. His fingertips press down on your sprained wrist, triggering another wave of pain. His glare remains terrifying.
“You will have to do more to escape from me,” he snaps.
The mist clears.
You raise your other arm. Pierro catches it in time, only for you to stomp on his foot.
He hisses in pain. “You—”
“You idiot!”
Hot tears roll down your cheeks, stinging your wounds. You try to stand up, only to collapse as dizziness overtakes you.
“______!” Pierro catches you in time, anger giving way to concern.
You glare at him. “What in the world were you thinking? Do you have no sense of self-preservation at all?!”
He examines your wounds. “That is a hypocritical statement coming from you.”
“I don’t care! It’s your fault that this all happened to begin with!”
You’ve never felt more relieved in your entire life.
You throw your arms around him and continue sobbing.
“I don’t even know the death rites for a Khaenri’ahn!” you sniffle. “How do you expect me to properly bury you?!”
Pierro lifts your veil and wipes your tears.
“You can cease your hysterics,” he says softly. “I am not letting you go anywhere.”
Behind you, Oizys’s ghost dissipates into the mist.
*✧・゚
The ride home is anything but pleasant.
“The chains are still uncomfortable.”
“That is a necessary precaution.” Pierro adjusts the cuffs and gives you a stern look. “Once we return home, you will release your claim on the estate. There will be no more eavesdropping.”
At least his touch is gentle. His hand trails up your arm, from your sprained wrist to the bandaged wounds. The field doctors had been efficient.
“You will also be confined under strict surveillance,” he adds. He meets your gaze, trapping your reflection in his diamond pupils. “In our bedchambers. I will keep a proper eye on you this time.”
You sigh and lean back in your carriage seat. “You are absolutely cruel. In case you haven’t realized, I could have killed you anytime and still chose not to. And even if I wanted to do that right now, I’m too weak.”
You can’t tell if your lethargy is from blood loss or karmic debt, probably both. Despite his own wounds, Pierro seems to be in exponentially better condition.
“The creature we slew was not the true Child of Night.”
“Huh?” You look up, facing the seat across from you.
Pierro’s gaze is sympathetic. “It was nothing more than the lingering resentment of your deceased friend, so whatever claims he made were untrue.”
“I know,” you reply sheepishly.
Oizys is truly gone. No more warm smiles, blessings of happiness, or lively meals together. May his soul finally find peace.
“Here, take this.”
Mist fills the carriage. Pierro sits up in alarm, only for you to toss your thurible at him.
He catches it, surprise painting his features. “Might there be a reason why you are voluntarily surrendering your Catalyst?”
“Must I articulate my answer?” You cross your arms, leveling him with a tired look. “Take it. Add it to your creepy collection, use my blood as you see fit, I don’t care. So long as I no longer need to hold that terrible thing.”
He stares back at you for a few seconds before setting your thurible aside. “The Fatui has no use for this weapon.”
You think you can believe him this time.
You take off your veil. The fabric is torn beyond repair; you will need to sew a new one. Maybe you can ask Pierro for embroidery ideas.
Outside the window, the scenery switches to a swirling snowscape. A few Snezhnayans are walking against the blizzard.
No need to worry about them; they can persevere. If not, they should still be safe under Pierro’s leadership.
You leave your seat and walk over to Pierro’s. Pain shoots up your leg and you nearly fall, but he quickly catches you and moves you to his side.
“Don’t overexert yourself,” he mutters, but his tone is less harsh. His arm wraps around you, pulling you close.
“Hey, Pierro? Are you staying home tomorrow?”
“Why do you ask?”
You rest your head on his uninjured shoulder. “I just feel like cooking, is all. Do you have any requests?”
A short pause. When Pierro turns to you, there is a soft gleam in those four-pointed stars. A small smile cuts across his face.
“Your cream stew was my favorite.”
You smile back. “That is good to hear.”
What else? You will need to prepare the ingredients, pick the right tableware, maybe even ask Pierro if he’d like to assist you again. And so many other things.
The sky turns dark. The estate is still miles away and you will be trapped in Pierro’s company for a few more hours…and the rest of eternity for that matter. But for some reason, that fact doesn’t bother you in the slightest.
For the first time in years, you actually look forward to tomorrow.

Debating whether to sign or not
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Azul x GN!Reader
Summary: You're struggling with only one assignment, yet Azul is asking you to sign a contract to be able to finish the assignment that you end up debating if you should sign it or not.
Established Relationship with Azul, Floyd being Floyd, Jade is nowhere to be found (looking for more mushrooms)
Warning: Thirdwheeler Floyd, I repeat, Thirdwheeler Floyd. Soft Azul, Lovesick Azul, "I love my partner" vibe Azul, and Azul being a simp for you.
Mentions: Mentions of mushrooms that Jade brings back to the dorm, Azul calling you love every single sentence /hj
! do not repost or translate my works anywhere. do not copy or use my works in any site, Reblogs are appreciated alot though !
Tumblr media
You can't finish an assignment because there was an error, you never learned about this! You don't remember having these lessons! Why in Wonderland would the teacher put this in, a lesson that most of the class aren't even aware of? But despite everything, you still climb lengths to finish that. Who knows, It could be an extra point for your grades.
You walk around the library, trying to find the book for the assignment so you can study for a while, When Floyd suddenly just appears from behind and drags you to Octavinelle.
Here you are, In Azul's VIP room. You already go here multiple times, you're just wondering why they would drag you here. "Please explain why you had to interrupt me." You sigh. "Well~ I heard that you were having a hard time with an assignment that the teacher did not teach." Azul crosses his legs. "And? Your point is?" You coldly say. "Now now, My dear. Don't be harsh, I just simply wanted to readdress the issue~"
You look at him, raising an eyebrow as you wait for him to continue on.
"So how about you sign a contract in order to finish difficult assignments as soon as possible?"
You almost spit the water that you were drinking out of your mouth the moment you heard the word 'contract.' You swallow the water, Soft coughs escaping your throat. You clear your throat. "You only brought me here to sign a contract?!"
"Wellll, It's not only that, I brought you here for tons of things." Azul shrugs, placing down the paper on the desk and sliding it infront of you. "Azul you-" You sigh, putting two fingers at the bridge of your nose. "..Fine, What's the catch?"
"Ah, Simple; It's nothing-"
"Nope. Not signing that."
"Aw, But why is that, My love?" Azul tilts his head to the side teasingly. "I don't believe you when you say there's no disadvantage. There is no way." You cross your arms and look away. "No but my love," You hear his chair move a bit, as a hand lifts your head up to look at him directly in the eyes.
"You, are a special case. Those other poor unfortunate souls may suffer with the assignment, but I do not want you to fail this one." Azul whispers. You stare at him. Are you falling for his tricks? Maybe, but there are some little parts of you that can fight back.
"Azul, we both remember what happened the last time you said there wasn't any catch. Clearly, You used magic to get rid of the disbenefit in the contract." You trace your finger around the paper. "Yes, I have remembrance of that, but the student was a fool. You are the love of my life, why would I do the same for you?"
Then again, Azul has proved his love to you.. Many.. Many times. "Azul, You do know you could just teach me the assignment, right?" You look at him, He walks around his desk, towards you. "My love, You are just adorable. I didn't say just one specific assignment. I said any assignments for whatever you'll struggle at."
Your eyes looks at his hand that was holding yours tightly, he raises your hand closer to his lips, Pressing it softly at the back of your hand. "Azul, that's technically cheating.." You whisper. "Love, What's cheating is that almost everybody in this prestigious school goes to me. To get help instead of studying, yet the Headmage does nothing about it."
"Can you guys get a room? It's sickening seeing you guys act like this infront of me." Floyd says in the background, You and Azul look at Floyd, Who was laying on the couch, occupying the space with his feet resting on the arm of the couch.
"How about you get out instead." You both reply. You had a cold tone, But on the other hand, Azul had a calm one.
Floyd only grunts, standing up and walking out of the room, He closes the door. Well that was easy, usually Floyd would be a menace and stay even if he was commanded to leave.
"Back to what I was saying.. My love, if you really want to have a catch for your safety, I'll make one. How about.."
Azul tucks your hair behind your ear. His fingers send a shiver down your spine as he traces your jawline and stopping at your chin, lifting your head up using a finger. "..You are to kiss me when I tell you to do so?"
"Azul,"
"What seems to be the matter, My love?"
You stare at him in disbelief. "Are you trying to find a way to kiss me as much as to your liking?"
"Hm, Maybe, Maybe not. Take a guess~"
"I think yes." You guess. "Bingo."
You sigh. "I don't see the point of me signing this." Azul raises his eyebrow in amusement. "Love, if your worried that I would take advantage of this, I won't. It would take me getting stuck in millions of nets to take advantage of it."
To be honest, You're surprised he's even that determined to help you. If you kiss him, Of course. Are you gonna sign it like a foolish person? Yes.
You look at his ear, a pen hanging on it. You raise your hand near his ear and take the pen, deciding to sign the contract. Your signature almost makes Azul just want to take marriage papers and make you sign it.
"Contract done! See?~ No harm done." Azul slides the paper aside, taking the pen in your hands and puts it on the desk. He gently grabs your chin. "Give me a kiss."
By command, You follow his order.
Your lips press against his. He stops the kiss, a soft 'mwa' sound coming out of his mouth. "There we go, It works." Azul chuckles. "..Azul, Hon. I feel like I can survive fourth year knowledge."
"It works well~" He repeats. "Well, Now that we got that out of the way, how about we go get us smoothies in the Mostro Lounge?" He asks. "Just the two of us?" You ask.
"Just the two of us. Floyd can just stand at the side, but he won't bother us." You stand up from the seat, Azul's fingers interlocking with yours. "Hm, I suppose this isn't that bad after all."
"See? Told you~ I would never put your life at stake." Azul states, dragging you along.
"Of course you wouldn't.. You care for me so much you'd let Floyd eat the mushrooms Jade comes in the dorm with."
"If I were to save one, it'd be you."

Pairing: Simon "Ghost" Riley x Reader
Summary: Ghost is finally home, and you want. to help him demask.
Authors Note: Did I come back after an unexpected 2-year hiatus just to post something about a man I only know from fanfiction? Yes, yes I did. Crazy bc I actually simp for Soap way harder and if he could only dick me down rq i would sure appreciate it thanks-
Tumblr media
His mask was always on.
You knew better than anyone it was a physical reminder of his guarded heart, the years of trauma and suffering he endured, the hope for himself to take whatever broken parts of himself he could and piece together someone who could help the world. Only getting thicker with each year, the mask was his reminder to protect those who needed it. Including himself.
Hard to know what a person is thinking without seeing their face, right? Simon Riley was an enigma.
But there was something in the way his eyes moved, the way they would follow as you walked around the room, carefully putting away his gear into a neat pile as he disrobed. Sitting at the end of your shared bed, he was a hulking specimen of a man. You couldn’t help but notice how his shoulders slumped forward in exhaustion, flickering to them for a moment before returning to your task.
You couldn’t look him in the eyes, not yet. That didn’t stop you from being able to feel them burning into you though.
After years of practice, he didn’t need to look to be able to know what button to press in what order, what hook to pull, what buckle to unsnap to free himself of his gear. He was meticulous, as with everything else he did, but his eyes were the only thing to betray his stoic personality. He watched you with a deep gaze as you silently took care of him like it was no big deal. Like it wasn’t making his hands tremble the slightest bit. How long has he been gone? How many nights apart from you? And how long was he allowed to stay before his phone crackled to life and he was whisked away on another endless journey? You didn’t want to know.
Neither did he, to be honest.
His eyes were trying to catch every little detail into his memory so he could pretend your time apart didn’t feel as long as it did. Your hair was different, he noted, and your nails were painted a different color. He didn’t recognize the pajamas you were wearing, nor the new pair of shoes that were by the door. Changes, changes, changes. He couldn’t help but notice them. He faintly recalls a story he read long ago, about a painting that changed every day despite it being impossible. You were just as beautiful as he remembers, just…different.
Your mannerisms, however, were completely the same. You skillfully tucked straps away, folded his padded vest just so, and even carefully untied the laces on his boots so they could slide off with little effort. You were kneeling in front of him now, pushing the boots to the side, making sure to wind the laces together and place them inside so they wouldn’t go everywhere on the floor. Simon couldn’t take his eyes off of you, not for a second. How he had missed you. He felt like a schoolboy again, tilting his head softly to and fro in order to catch your eyes. To get you to look at him for a single second, to feel relieved that you were here and you were safe.
Your eyes trailed up from his feet to his knees and thighs, no doubt looking for any new or reopened injuries. Your fingers carefully skimmed behind them. Wary. His skin erupted in goosebumps wherever you touched. You moved up higher, gently moving over his stomach towards his side where his latest injury was. Without even looking at his face, you could see the flinch in his body as you grazed the stitches over his shirt, only recently been patched up. You leaned forward and pressed a gentle kiss to his side, a silent apology (for what, he didn’t know). He almost smiled to himself. No doubt you were looking for anything he might have “forgotten” to tell the medic. Wouldn’t be the first time he hurried his own examination along to get the nurses to his teammates faster. After all, why waste their time on tiny cuts and bruises when he could simply come home to you and be showered in love and care he spent every waking moment craving. His hands were clenching against the blankets.
You continued on. Your fingers gently ran along his knuckles, gentle kisses of your fingers against hands that were trained to kill. That has killed. You didn’t even flinch, moving both your hands to his arms, gracefully sliding them up and up and your kisses continued on their trail from his injury. To his ticklish side, his rib cage, a cheeky one to his peck, and up and up until they reached the edge of his mask. His breath hitched. Years, he’s known you, and for years he’s trusted you. You know this. Know that this man trusts you with his life, a testament to the fact that you were one of the rare people to see his face (and more than once at that). But you still feel a little hurt when he flinches at your cold fingers sliding underneath it to press on either side of his neck.
Afraid. Closed off.
You gently nose your way up, running it along his face until your finally, finally, eye to eye. He’s hunched over so your neck isn’t cramping as much as you continue to kneel on the floor, and despite his large stature and the sheer predatory aura he emits without thinking, you can see his vulnerable eyes as they bleed into yours. You can see his struggle, the silent argument he’s having in his head to fight the instinct he’s carried with him for years and let you strip him bare. You press a gentle kiss to his cloth-covered lips, a silent acceptance. You love him, and will love him, no matter what. His lips chase yours as you pull away, his eyes flickering desperately for a second before he registers your resolve.
Ah. You want to help him.
Slowly, you lean down again, pressing your lips to the space at the end of his mask. Between his shirt and the mask is a sliver of skin that you greedily nibble at. He sighs, a smile sneakily tugging at the corner of his mouth. Little by little your kisses and nibbles push the cloth up, revealing more and more for your gentle kisses to attack. They’re light and delicious and Simon can’t seem to get enough, moving his hands to grasp at anything he can reach in order to pull you toward him in a desperate attempt for you to do more. More kisses, more affection, more love. More, more, more.
Your nose tickles his jawline, and he tickles you in return with his unshaven shadow. His breath hitches as the mask slips past his lips. He nearly doesn’t realize your lips attached themselves to his to replace the scratchy material that had just pushed past them. You kiss like you’re in a rush, a gasp of heavenly air after being trapped underwater for a second longer than comfortable. He makes a sound at the back of his throat that, should he have been a lesser man, he would have blushed at. He tries to desperately pull you closer, despite your body already being pressed against his chest, his arms nearly encircling your like a snake around its prey.
Once again you pull away too soon for his liking, leaving him breathless and wanting more. Your lips continue upwards, kissing his nose and the rosy apples of his cheeks as they are revealed. The room feels sweltering, but he can’t let you go. Not now, not after remembering what it’s like to have you in his arms. He has to close his eyes as the mask pushes over them. Your lips kiss each one before he’s able to open them again. You continue even into his hairline, pressing affectionate kisses there until the mask has been pushed completely away. It falls onto the bed behind him. For something that controls his day to day life, Simon easily forgets it in lue of bringing you back to his lips once more. You giggle quietly against his mouth as he attacks you.
Kissing you is like a fantasy he never believed was possible, and desperately, desperately, he wants to memorize each and every detail. He nearly eats you whole, and you’re nearly tempted to let him. He doesn’t attempt to stop the soft sounds that escape him as you once again pull away from him. Your smile is an easy Simon forgiveness pass. He can’t find it in himself to stay upset, especially not as you press one more kiss to his lips before standing, tugging on his hand in order to get him to follow you to the bath.
With his mask completely gone, you finally get to appreciate the small smile that morphs across his face, his adoring eyes saying everything you needed to hear. I missed you. I love you. Your Simon.

Base Yandere Adam Headcanons: The First Yandere (Hazbin Hotel)
[Hello, My Sexy Muffins! I am here finally with a new chapter! This one is Adam from Hazbin Hotel! He is a yandere so good luck, I hope you all enjoy this chapter here!] 
(Disclaimer: Adam is not yandere in canon! This is just for fun and not to be taken seriously at all Simping for fictional characters and yanderes is fine! Just do not be illegal or gross about it! also, remember to separate fiction from reality and headcanon from canon! Yanderes are not ideal partners to have in real life!) 
-Base Yandere Headcanons With Adam From Hazbin Hotel- 
.Adam oh man is he an egotistical man, and for you, the person he is in love with man oh man is his ego huge when it comes to him being the best for you? 
.If you are an AMAB and or masc presenting he sees you as the second-best man right behind him. 
.If you are an AFAB and or Fem presenting he is a bit more sexist with you and keeps his lady in line 
(Okay this is a disclaimer from the Queen in which I will HAVE To do small videos of male listener and female listener with him because he treats those two VASTLY differently so this is for SURE His very base yandere self) (Anyways back to gender neutral) 
.All in all, you are the only one worthy enough to be his new spouse 
.And you are damn lucky that he decided to have you as his spouse, do you know how many women and MEN would want to be with him. 
.He is the first man, he has the first dick! you should be on your knees worshiping him in more than one way! 
.He is also a narcissist and would remind you a lot that you are nothing without him, he is going to break you down, to build you up. 
.Making you the perfect partner to be with him and for him to worship the ground he walks on and get to work serving him. 
.He would deal with rivals (Okay another side not from me as the Queen I have to do also different listeners/Readers like in which one is an angel and another is a sinner and so forth, so if you want to see that comment what you want to see!) again he would mainly deal with rivals by first off mocking them and then unaliving them. 
.He does not care if they are seraphim or if they are hellborns. 
.You are his and ANYONE who gets in the way of stealing you is going to suffer. 
.He is a type of yandere that loses his shit fast and starts lashing out. 
.He thinks he is a cool man and a dick master but break him down he is just a frat boy kind of man that thinks he is better than anyone else. 
.He would confess to you and try and swoon you. 
.If you say yes, as long as he is in charge you will be treated like royalty HIS royalty 
.If you say no? He is going to get so pissy and possessive and aggressive 
.He will try and make you jealous by dating me and women to make you jealous. 
.If that does not work he will straight up kidnap you and make you his without a care of how you felt. 
.If he gets really desperate he might steal some love potion from hell to make you love him. 
.He does not care what he has to do or what boundary he has to cross you will be his, heaven be damned! 
[Anyways! Another chapter is done! I hope you all enjoyed this and if you want to see more specific Adamn yandere below Comment what you like to see UNLESS you see this on Tumblr then put your request in MY ASK BOX thank you and stay sexy all of my sexy muffins!]

bro out here acting like he didnt stay up late so he could facetime you every night 💀
will be clingy because while you obviously stayed in contact he missed having you physically there with him <3

his friends call him a simp but it’s okay cause he loves you
and yes he’s picking you up alone because he wants some time for just the two of you before the rest of 5wirl bother you lmao
cries when you give him souvenirs cause you know he likes to collect them
will ask you a million questions about where you went so he can plan a travel vlog so be prepared once he’s used to having you around again to never know peace /lh
Venti
menace, literally sobbing at your gate waiting for you. it’s okay though cause he’s pretty and brought you flowers
and like ten “welcome home” balloons 💀
dragged xiao along with him because no one trusts this man behind a wheel
a moment of silence for xiao’s suffering as a third wheel
anyone watching you two reunite would think you were gone for YEARS and he hasn’t been able to contact you for their enterity
will leave you at the airport if you didn’t buy him souvenirs /hj
takes a million pictures, makes like three different posts full of old pictures of you when you’re gone and has some emo ass captions (taking inspo from xiao fr /j)
as soon as you’re back he posts pictures of you at the airport and captions it “didn’t even know they left” and deletes his angsty posts like bro you’re not fooling anyone 💀
forces xiao to take pictures of you guys together cause that’s what besties are for
never lets you vacation by yourself
Xiao
won’t show it too much but is SO happy to have you back
panic called heizou to ask what a good gift would be to welcome you back and heizou, like a normal person is like “give them flowers”
xiao is like fuck that and brings you flowers, your favorite chocolates and boba
denies that he picked those gifts out of his own free will (heizou snitches lmao)
doesn’t even say anything just instantly hugs you really tight, he needs a moment

is going on vacation next time with you, non-negotiable /hj
Kazuha
just like aether has a cute little “Welcome Home” sign and a small bouquet of flowers, keeping it simple and sweet
kinda unrelated but i just KNOW his car smells heavenly and is cozy but still super clean
takes your luggage, he refuses to let you handle even a single backpack because yoh must be exhausted (the others would do the same but would let you carry your own backpack and are just not as extreme as kazuha is about it. bro is usually chill but he won’t budge on this)
ordered your favorite takeout ahead of time to be at your house ((lowkey craving some chipotle as i’m writing this))
posts a really cute poem about you on his alt twitter and how happy he is to have you in his arms again <3333
made a playlist for y’all to listen to as he’s driving, encourages you to take a nap in the car and drives as gently as possible
Heizou
brings you flowers and a cute little card <3
he told you not to tell him the gate you’re at so he could deduce it with his amazing abilities (he looked it up online but shush he wanted to tease you)
kisses your cheek, steals your bags and replaces them with a cute little chocolate box that he totally didn’t buy last minute at the airport 💀
kazuha is waiting in the airport parking lot for y’all because while heizou can drive first of all kazuha’s car is the nicest in the world and if he can make an excuse to be in it he will and second of all he wants to cuddle with you in the backseat <3
will not let you do anything for the rest of the week, as a detective who totally has credentials he sentences you to a week of relaxing on the couch and snuggling while watching movies sorry :P
will begrudgingly invite the rest of 5wirl but only if they bring snacks
