(could I be ⚔️ anon? TY IN ADVANCE!!)

Idk something about knights being "celibate" as a part of their oath just to keep their cocks as sensitive as possible so when a fair "maiden" (most beautiful boy you've ever seen) comes around, they have to hold their breath and hope, pray that they don't cum in their pants for being so touch deprived C:<

yes yes, sorry for the wait...

i saw this w feminine reader but also knight reader acting all stupid over a feminine guy,,, will expand on this in my google docs and post soon, thanks double swords. ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️ huzzuahahah

feminine reader;;

imagining a lil harem of knights being all gobsmacked as you walk passed them,,,. a trio. you weren't even in tradtional womens' clothing, yet of course, they still mistake you as one. your feminine visage, yet eyes narrowed in a mean glare... damn, making their knees buckle as you saunter pass and hoping that you actually come up to them with something,,, otherwise just glaring at you while bricked up uncomfortably in their armor bro,,, and actually going up to one of them to ask THEM about directions ?!?!!

a substance... dripping from below his waist, presumably his dick. a wet spot forming on his trousersㅡ"what is that." you point downward, accusingly with a smirk playing on your lips - and he flinches back in shock; clearly thinking you wouldnt be able to see except you did-!! "shit - s-sorry, sorry, that's nothing. that is nothing." so helpless - glancing around for help even though he is the help. having to run away all embarrassed with his dick half-hard and hastily thrown on armor clinking. such an embarrassment !!!

knight reader,,, teehee;;;

after using your hand secretly for many lonely nights, you had gotten a little sick of it... the oath you swore, echoing in the back of your mindㅡrepeating it to distract yourself from unholy thoughts plaguing your mind, until you were broken from your focus by a dainty little thing. you had no idea what to do with yourself. s-she was just so pretty - and coming up to you out of all the othersㅡ? with a soft question of; "will you help me, kind sir?" she stands in front of you, barely coming up to your chest - voice a little low and out of character for someone as tiny and dainty as her... help? help her? d-dear god...

ㅡ"help?" you squeak - eyes widening in surprise at your voice crack and clearing your throat, "help." sounding much more deep, and low... more masculine. affirming. hopefully this will attract her - a big, beefy strong knight helping her with whatever she possibly needed... feeling all squirmy and tingy and particularly excited for whatever reason as you follow her... eyes raking down her form and landing on her ... particularly round posterior... such a fine woman.

except she wasn't a woman. she - was a boy. who didn't even need help. you were just too easy to take advatange of, and he knew that. he liked you. he liked how easily you came on his fingers after a few languid pumps and a good staring contest that you couldn't hold - too much of a sensitive thing to stare into his dazzling half-lidded doe eyes... acting like a little damsel in distress for you to come and save just to fuck himself on you, ignoring your whines of how this was sooo wrong,,,

Personality development headcanons

#ragbros #I think diluc as a kid was one of those extroverted introverts with a heck ton of energy but none of it went to socializing #whereas kaeya was extremely closed off and reserved #who tried his hardest to make himself invisible or useful to someone to justify his existence #also kid kaeya can and will psychoanalyze every person he comes across #to a scarily accurate degree #meanwhile diluc is like social skills what’s that #(he was always off in his own world studying exploring #or causing havoc when he really wanted attention lol) #then as they get older diluc becomes more grounded in reality thanks to knightly and older sibling responsibilities #kaeya becomes less crushed by the weight of his reality and lets himself lighten up and enjoy the company of the people he loves #idk just some off the cuff thoughts #I am trying to capture their Vibes #I would love to read other people’s thoughts on this topic!!

Today I’m having feelings about the symmetry between Jaskier (who left his noble life and his name as Julian Alfted Pankratz de Lettenhove) and Geralt (who tried to take the noble name of Geralt Roger Eric du Haute-Bellegarde and was denied). 

#the witcher #geralt #jaskier #geraskier #the name geralt tried to take is hilarious but it's also kind of sad? like it's another part of his knightly dream that was taken from him #whereas jaskier was able to achieve his dream but the dream was opposite #idk i feel like there's something worth exploring there #might make another post later if i have more thoughts #wren talks

So supernatural au for Stranger things. Well, it's a more unnatural version. Still with the Upside Down, just a different version!

Season 1--->

The Wheelers were human, and Nancy was shown how to protect herself at a young age. But she befriends a banshee Barbara Holland and keeps to herself for the most part. But she falls for Steve Harrington, who was a siren. People warn her away, tell her that it's just because he's spelling her to love him.

Barb is the most protective. So she goes with Nancy to Steve's. Even though she's been feeling off since the youngest of the Byers pack went missing. And when she goes up with Steve, she swears she can hear Barb's scream.

Afterward, Nancy talks to Jonathan Byers from the Byers' pack, and they go looking for their friends/family. Only when they go looking, Nancy finds a weird portal. When she goes in, she's sees a creature she doesn't know. Before Jonathan's able to get her out there, it bites her.

And that night, she feels her body change. Jonathan is with her as Demagorgan's bite changes Nancy. The small scars form on her face, letting her face open up. Her nails are able to lengthen into talons. Jonathan walks her through dealing with the transformations, and Nancy develops a close bond to him.

And after everything goes down, she joins the Byers' pack. But other than that, nothing changes.

Season 2 --->

The next year, as the demodogs start acting up, Nancy, who's already struggling with Barb's death, snaps under it all. She yells at Steve and blames him for using his sirens call on her. How they couldn't really be in love and that it was all just bullshit. She goes to Jonathan, and it all stays the same.

Steve is stopped by Dustin Henderson, a young satyr. The boy had been trying to take care of a young creature, and it had escaped. Steve agreed and grabbed the trusty nail bat he had gotten from Jonathan.

They still go to the junk yard. Steve still protects them. Lucas, the young Gorgon and Max, the young Harpy. Before they head back to the Byers with the rest of the group.

And when Hopper, the human chief of police sees the young fae girl whom he had taken in, a new version of hell breaks loose. Steve, thankfully, is left in charge of the kids since a siren wasn't known for fighting (no matter how much Steve proved that he was strong).

And when Billy, the argogant werewolf, shows up, Steve protects them. He is doing his best, but Max still saves his ass. But he's brought into the younger kids' party/pack after that. Afterward, they headed into the tunnels, and Dustin was able to speak softly to Dart in his satyr speak.

Season 3--->

Has Steve with a witch Robin at Scoops. With Dustin pulling them into the Russian conspiracy. Then Erica joins as well later on. It has Steve trying to use his siren song on the Russians, but since Steve hadn't used a drip of it since Nancy, it comes out wrong and doesn't work. Robin is able to heal him a little, but without her herbs and books, she's trapped as well.

Little Gorgon Erica saves them by turning the doctor to stone, and Dustin gets them out.

Season --->

Eddie Munson is a known vampire. His dad had been one before he went feral from accidentally taking to much blood from his wife and killed himself in his greif.

That made Eddie half vampire, the other half human. But when Chrissy the sweet merfolk die in his living room, Eddie is quick to be blamed. He goes into hiding and is relieved when Dustin finds him.

And Steve, who had sworn off dating in fear of never being able to be with someone who truly loves him, falls for Eddie. And well, with Vampires' ability to charm others as well, he can't be charmed, and they can trust that they love each other for who they are.

That's it. That's my idea... all I got. Thoughts????

Steve - Siren

Nancy - Were-Demogorgan

Mike - human

Byers - Werewolves

Barb - Banshee

Sinclairs - Gorgon (think Medusa)

Dustin - Satyr or Cyclops

Max - Harpy

Billy - Werewolf

Eddie - Vampire

Robin - Witch

El - Fae who was experimented on and made more powerful.

Hopper - human

Jason - Minotaur

Chrissy - Merfolk

#i just had an idea of were-demogorgon nancy and siren steve #then i thought about barb and jonathan and it just spiraled #i have no idea #i have nothing to say for myself #anyways #stranger things #steve harrington #nancy wheeler #jancy #steddie #the party #knightly talks

what if galacta knight snapped and had to get sealed away bc no one went to his birthday party

If Nexo Knights season 5 actually dove deeper into squire bot lore due to the whole infection thing we might get to see like...a town named “Mechington” or “Mechingburg” or something where basically its the town where squire-bots are manufactured...maybe Robin’s unseen father works there or something too idk. I think that would be neat-

Simon Keyes prosecutor au has so much potential. Simon literally coming into court with a colorful clown suit on and the most serious look on his face. Compared to some prosecutors in the offices he is the most through with court proceedings and perjury. Simon would toss small animals or loudly make a balloon animal whenever Phoenix is obviously bullshitting.

           Anyway, soft revise that after the events of Shibuya during the Perfect Preparation Arc - Sayuri begins to strip away her bondage. One, the Kobayashi’s fear her strength, unlike the Gojo or Zen’in clan they have never housed a sorcerer of such might. This also scares them on the basis Sayuri carved herself into an extraordinary being as she swore to Tsukuyomi when small; she would never desire from him. To separate their power, her mastery over cursed energy is solely her own, hence the rigorous training she put her body underneath as a teen && young adult. Two, her mental fortitude is unrivaled, in her worst moments when she should break - she never does. Sayuri lives by the mantra; negative emotions start from the gut, thus, she has learned to navigate everything she feels making her stoic && formidable in battle.

     Even when the flames of Shibuya threatened to take her, she swallowed her fear, anguish && hatred with a bitter pill she was losing all that brought her joy. This signifies she is the lone survivor, it will not be till the Culling Arc that she learns there is another purpose, one that comes after her suffering. It’s also comical due to a previous conversation where it was mentioned, she embodies nobility; a haughty woman with arrogance && too much pride. For which she will laugh admitting there is truth in such a statement; she does not accept less && moderation is not a word she understands. The Kobayashi’s sought to suppress this, they were deathly worried what it meant for them, to house a God meant they would be thrust into the light && operatives who work in shadows do not wish for such a thing.

           Their symbology is mist, scattering && illusive, while she is fire - bright, shining, all consuming. Sayuri is the daughter of a defector who spurned their unity, they know the rebellious spirit of her mother flows through her blood, even if she never knew the woman - Sayuri’s rage mimics hers. This is not to say the clan does not love her, they do immensely, but they were ill prepared believing when she was a child she was frail, fragile, someone who could break. Hatsuko didn’t realize when she negotiated Sayuri’s arrival at Tokyo Tech she was igniting a spark who would burn brilliantly. The first taste of freedom, acceptance, friendship granted Sayuri the ability to carve an iron resolve. In Kyoto, she is a cursed girl, the dead girl who never had a chance, but amongst the shining metropolis she was just Yuri - shy, anxious, hungry to see a life that was stolen from her. It’s interesting to think that despite the brutality of her home, she saw hope elsewhere with her friends && clung to it tight, even if she knew deep down - there is a monstrous woman that only reacts when all she knows is threatened. Prior to that turning point, it causes her great distress, she will even openly weep that it is one of few things that breaks her heart.

         Though, after Shibuya she firmly accepts it, admitting her weakness && inability to accept both harmony / chaos caused her to lose what was most precious. Sayuri is very much a woman that is respected within her family’s hierarchy but feared as she defied the natural order to take back what was hers. She is also the epitome of a perfect Kobayashi, who accepts no defeat && will give everything when it comes to securing what she deems valuable && loved. Unlike other special grades, she is a catalyst that can only be described as a natural disaster who holds no qualms or shame for her destruction.

#// she is represented as a knightly figure the savior she wanted when young #// sayuri is feared because she cannot be contained which scared her too #// to disobey meant her isolation where she walks beside not one with her own kin #// the thought that sayuri met the freshmen and upperclassmen only to laugh so bright for the first time #// it was her first glimpse of hope but maybe that's all she has to keep her going #––– ❛ headcanons 【 shoganai 】 #// comes back and bonks u all with headcanons

[tiberius-kirks]

and failure, hide, hunt for the knightley duo ^•^

ohggg idk how much I've even talked about these guys on here!!

failure: What’s your OC’s greatest failure? Have they been able to move past it? Does anyone else know about it?

relevant to the prince and his eventual champion, their greatest combined failure is that the king will eventually die. whoops! before then I'm not quite sure since the champion isn't as fleshed out -- something about not being able to balance having his own lands and residing at the left hand of the prince etc etc, while the prince just has a veritable catalogue of things he should have done better. neither are good at facing their own failures and mostly make efforts to hide their shortcomings

hide: What does your OC hide? Why do they hide it?

the champion tries to hide himself from the prince, in the beginning. think mako and raleigh -- he's not going to just tell the prince everything about his life (because he's ashamed of it, because he's trying to do right by his father, because he didn't want to be chosen as champion) no matter how excitable the prince can be about their connection

hunt: Who or what is your OC hunted by? A person, a feeling, a past mistake? Is your OC able to let their guard down, or are they constantly alert?

the prince is hunted by his perceived inability to rule, his father's death, his mother's death, the future or his country and his people riding on the delicate balancing act that he does not feel ready for. he's constantly on alert, although certain people are doing their best to force their way in, whether they realize it or not (the champion does not)

oc ask meme!

#im chewing on this pair like a dog toy. throwing them at the wall and smacking them around and hoping something fun comes out :) #tyyyy for asking!!! i haven't thought this closely about these guys so this was v fun #asked #answered #ask memed #sodrippy #knightly #oc tag

[our-celia]

probably most fun thing about my inner world is theres this whole section that formed when i was relatively young like probably 7-12 it got very detailed and fleshed out. i was a big fantasy reader kid so it has a lot of fantasy elements… elemental magic and swords, knights in armor, etc…. but i was also listening to a lot of cascada and ke$ha at the time (2010s) and was like woah i need to be at the club. so theres also a nightclub in there

#i had never drank but i thought music videos and songs and stuff about getting turnt at the club were the coolest thing in the world #i can no longer access that subsystem myself but i know that a lot of the alters there are constantly getting lit at the club #after their fantasy knightly duties #you can realllly tell this is the escapist fantasy of a 10 y/o

Movie haters unite!

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH okay anyone who's been following me for 3+ years might remember how often I made posts complaining about that movie; I've been less vocal about it recently but like, that movie sucks ASS I'm sorry but the dialogue is awkward and clumsy, the romantic scenes are cliche and poorly acted, the darcy is ugly as FUCK with ZERO charisma or presence, all the women look like skinny goddamn instagram models, the humor is practically marvel-esque in its shallow quippiness, and it favors ~aesthetic~ over content. historical inaccuracy isn't really important fine but the stupid dresses also pissed me off. might be showing my ass here as a book purist but I'm continuously pissed that it's apparently the only pride and prejudice adaptation a lot of people know because they are MISSING OUT. that movie is so far inferior to the actual story!

it's stupid to say that an unfaithful adaptation 'ruins' the original work and that's not my issue, but it kills me to see people quoting that dumbass movie thinking THAT'S austen. it's not! part of this is a difficulty in adapting a wordy and introspective novel into a visual form, I get that, but austen's writing is far more subtle, far funnier, and far more clever than the cobbled-together dialogue that the movie went with. genuinely unbelievable to me that basic and cliche lines like ~“you have bewitched me body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. And wish from this day forth never to be parted from you.”~ have more popularity than the realism and sincerity and ACHING romance behind the book's ACTUAL lines, which are all the more romantic for being grounded and believable

so yeah I'm mad at that movie for misrepresenting austen as the kind of hack who would write such corny and shallow garbage. I don't want to quote too much from the actual book because I feel like I'd need to quote entire chapters, entire sections, because the romance and humor is written so well into the bedrock of the story and I think the only way to appreciate it is to experience it, but yeah the mundane-sounding "My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever." DOES make me go more wild than any saccharine melodramatic nonsense the movie came up with. it's the respect babey

ALSO THAT KISS SCENE AT THE END!!!! VILE!!!!! I WANTED TO THROTTLE JOE WRIGHT MYSELF!!!

anyway I sincerely think it sucks as a movie even when it's not considered as an adaptation. I hate joe wright and all his choices. thank you

#thanks for your ask I just thought about this for 30 seconds and became angry all over again #kiera knightly was fine in it but I don't really care for her as an actor. like she was fine what whatever #I think she's boring :/ #YOU WILL NEVER BE JENNIFER EHLE #asks

I don't know what you're hunting. It's not me, it's something else - Part 5/10

Also on ao3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5: But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm. And though the words sound steady, something's empty within 'em

The forest was filled with the sounds of sounds of rumbling growls and the crackle of fire. But Robin didn't slow down. She rushes towards where Nancy should be, unwilling to lose any more people. Just as she's running, she sees in the corner of her eye a figure rushing at her.

Robin raises the bat too slowly as she's tackled to the ground. Her back hit the ground, a root digging into her spine. She squeezes her eyes shut, expecting the pain of teeth digging into her flesh. Instead, a hand covers her mouth, stopping her from speaking.

Imagines of Eddie's long fingers with talons that could kill her in a second flash through her mind. But the person on top of her isn't attacking. They were keeping her still and quiet. She squeezes her eyes shut and for a moment she thinks it's Steve's hand. His body against hers. But she's been tackled by Steve before and this wasn't him.

Her mind lags until it settles on Nancy. The small but rough hands of hers, the gun on the ground next to them. The smaller form that was always surprisingly strong. Her eye peaks open to see black blood on Nancy's cheek and her chest heaving. She was out of breath but trying to stay as quiet as she could be. Robin stays still in her grasp, trusting Nancy.

Slowly Nancy's hand is removed from her face. “Boys?” Nancy mouths in question.

Robin nods to the road. “Car,” She mouths back, watching a little of the weight on Nancy's shoulders slide off.

Nancy's eyes narrow, “you should have run too.” She mouths and Robin glares back. It makes Nancy's mouth twitch like she wants to smile.

She rolls off of Robin and they slowly stand, the forest silent around them. Robin looks around, expecting to see the monster that took over Eddie's body, leering, waiting to attack. But nothing. The dark was hiding any signs of him. Nancy tugs on her hand making Robin turn to look at her. “We're closer to Steve's than the car,” she mouths and it takes Robin a second to understand it. “We can radio the others when we get there.” She continues silently.

She nods and gestures for Nancy to lead the way. Nancy moves forward a little before Robin reaches over and takes Nancy's hand on impulse. She can't see Nancy's reaction but she doesn't let go of Robin's hand. Nancy stays silent as she guides Robin through the woods, how she can tell where they are, Robin has no idea. But Robin kept a tight grip on her bat; the same as Nancy's grip on her gun. Robin's heart feels too loud in her chest as they creep onward.

The Harrington house comes into view in, what feels like an eternity later. The house always looked too big and lonely to Robin. Even before Steve told Robin how often his parents left him home alone. It made the house feel like a daunting pressure and it wasn't even directed towards her. It looked worse paired with the Upside Down's leaking atmosphere around them. The small flicker of ashe in the air made the house look haunted. 

Still, it was their best option. Once inside they could contact the others and hopefully learn that Dustin and Mike got out of there with the car. Then they could stay there either until someone like Hopper could come and get them now or they could bunker down until morning.

Nancy doesn't let go of Robin as they get to the door. She lets Robin pull her around as she grabs the hidden key under the gnome Robin bought for him. Robin looks over at her as she continues to scan the trees and Robin gets the door open. They slip inside and Robin doesn't go for the light switch just yet.

She leans back against the door next to Nancy, the two of them catching their breath for a moment. “Radio,” Nancy says so quietly that Robin almost misses it. The girl grabs the radio from a pocket in her small bag and switches it on. Instead getting loud arguing between Dustin and Will.

But Robin's distracted by a smell. Hawkins was smelling rotten as the Upside Down leaked into their world but this was different. It wasn't the normal cleaning product that the house usually smelt like. It smelt putride... acidy. “Robin and I are hiding out, go home if you haven't started driving yet,” Nancy states, her voice coming out not as strong as normal. Making Robin focus on the conversation.

The voices of the kids are all frantic. “Oh thank god,” Mike says in the background of Dustin's “Where are you? We can pick you up. We lost Eddie a little while back. We had to drive off pretty quickly and- fucks sake Mike watch the mailbox. I guess Ted Wheeler doesn't have the best driver's training advice.” Robin smiles at the kid's distracted ramble.

“You guys are okay?” Jonathan asked.

Nancy's hand grips hers a little tighter. “I think so, after I shot at him and ran we haven't dealt with much of anything. But we're staying alert.”

Robin leans closer to Nancy, “Dustin you head back to the cabin or Wheelers. We don't need you out looking for us right now.” She says and Nancy nods in agreement.

“Do you want Hop and I-” Jonathan starts to ask but Robin's distracted by the sound of something upstairs.

Her eyes go to where the stairs are but the dark house is hard to see. Nancy tensed up as well and Robin gestured to the light next to the shorter girl. She gently handed the radio to Robin before sliding over to flick on the entryway light. Instantly Robin's stomach is twisting.

The walls are covered in blood. So much blood. The blood was inky black, some fresh some crusted and old. Claw marks littered the walls like something had been locked in. Some of it dripped down the wall but most of it didn't look a few hours old but instead looked days old.

Something was wrong. Robin shut off the radio, plunging them into silence. Except for a very soft footfall above them. Nancy glanced back to the door but Robin was focused on the walls. Steve disappeared not even 3 hours ago. This was too old to be from tonight.

She looked over at Nancy, hoping the other girl wasn't as lost as she was. Nancy let go of Robin's hand to get two hands on her shotgun. Pointing towards the stairs. Robin swallowed, gripping the bat tighter. “Should we go?” Robin whispered and Nancy looked at the door. It reminded Robin of what they had just run away from. What was the smarter option?

Nancy took a step further into the house and Robin wondered if Nancy was thinking logically or trying to solve the puzzle. Nancy seemed to get distracted by something by the sliding glass doors. Robin grimaced but moved away from the door, following after her.

The doors were shattered, the glass on the outside, meaning something broke out . But that wasn't even the worst part. A gate pulsed from the bottom of Steve's pool. Her throat felt tight and she began to shake. She thought of the distance Steve had put between them this time. Robin had thought it was because they lost. But now...

A low rumble came from the house and Nancy glanced back, her eyes going behind Robin. However, she turned her back on the gate. Robin shot forward as a vine shot toward Nancy. She barely registered Nancy's shout of her name before her hands reached Nancy as the vine did the same.

It curled around Nancy's chest tight enough for the air to leave her lungs. Nancy didn't have a second to breathe before she was pulled backward into the pool. Robin refused to let go of Nancy even as they hit the water and were pulled through the gate. It tossed them against the now-empty pool wall. Robin forced herself to keep moving and rolled to her feet.

Nancy's hands scrambled at the vine, her shotgun on the ground away from her. She struggled to sink in a breath as the vine held her tight. Robin dropped the radio to bring the bat down on the vine. Doing it again and again until Nancy sucked in a deep breath and was able to rip herself away from its grip.

They stumbled to their feet, grabbing the walkie that was now waterlogged and Nancy's shotgun. Before Robin can take a step towards the portal Nancy's pulling her away from it and to the ladder. “Nance,” she whispered as she felt Nancy shaking.

“We're going out a different portal.” She demanded and Robin remembered Steve's short admittance that Barb Holland died in that pool. She wouldn't be surprised if the portal was there because of that.

But she also knew Nancy was smart and brave enough to go back through that gate if it was the fastest way out of this hellscape. “Nancy, we need to get out of here as soon as possible.” She argued but Nancy was already climbing out. Robin grimaced before following her. “Nancy is it smart-”

“We need to be fast,” Nancy demanded, her hand grabbing Robin's once again.

“Fast would be that gate,” Robin stated but didn't stop Nancy from pulling her back inside the Harrington home and to the front door. “Nancy-”

Nancy tugged her closer, “You can- you wouldn't want to go back that way. Now let's just keep moving.”

Robin's eyebrows furrowed, “what do you mean I would-” she goes quiet at the sound of a familiar guttural growling. She tenses up and stops fighting Nancy. Jogging to pick up the pace. Repeating to herself that you can hear their world from this world. Before they could even get out of the too-big Harrington house, a scream that was far more human than a monster, roared in the silence.

She could hear the gate's squelching as something came out of it. Following them into the Upside Down. The sound of nails scratching the ground as something raced into the house had Robin panicking. Nancy pulled them into a room and shut the door behind them. Before they can even lock the door, something slams against it.

They both jolt, barely able to keep it from slamming open. They put their weight against it, holding it shut to the best of their ability. Robin couldn't get Eddie's monstrous face out of her head as she wondered if she might die right here and now. In Steve's spare bedroom with its shitty window that could never lock because of Tommy and Carol.

“Rob, Rob, I'm sorry,” The voice from the other side of the door is wrecked. Like someone who had been choked out and drowned. But it was Steve's. “Robbie, I didn't mean to scare you. I'm sorry, please just open the door. I'm sorry, please let me in. There's- there's shit out here.” Steve begs and Robin looks over at Nancy.

Nancy is shaking her head, looking even paler than she had when she had Eddie's blood on her face, dripping down her neck. She doesn't even lessen her stance against the door as if they were trying to keep Steve out. “Not him,” she mouths and Robin doesn't understand. How couldn't it be him? It sounded like him.

The door nob twists and jerks, like Steve's trying it. Nancy presses even harder as Robin feels frozen. She thought- but that was Steve. Steve was okay, he got up like he always does. “Robbie, please let me in. I- I'm sorry about earlier. You know I love you.” He promises and Robin starts to let up against the door. “You know I do. You're- you're my soulmate.” He says and Robin's ready to open the door and tackle Steve into the biggest hug.

Then he continues, “You're mine - my soulmate. You know this. It's the two of us against the world. The love of my life.” As the door jerks, she braces against it. Nancy looks shocked at the help but Robin's brain spins with information. “ Stop being so - I'm sorry okay, just let me in. We need to get out of here.”

Robin moves her hand over and clicks the lock in place. It won't do much but it'll give them an extra second. Her chest heaves as she hears a choked-off grunt that isn't completely human. She bites her lips and looks at Nancy, nodding her head to the window. “Run to the pool,” She mouths and Nancy's eyes widen.

“I'm not leaving you behind.” She mouths back and Robin's eyes squeeze shut.

“Robbie, I know you're panicking but I can protect you. Just- just let me in. We can work together and get out of here. We can finish this together. Like we do everything.” Steve's voice seems to be getting raspier the longer he speaks.

Nancy grabs Robin's hand, “Together.” She mouths and Robin shakes her head.

But before she can respond the door slams again, hard this time. Robin can almost hear the wood starting to break. “ God dammit Nancy stop poisoning people against me. Let me in, ” Steve snaps and there's a low rumble paired with the words. Like he couldn't hold back on the sounds any longer.

“Robin, we're- why aren't you letting me in? Don't you care about me at all? I thought- don't you trust me ?” The voice was off completely now and Robin refused to think it was her best friend. The door shuttered against another slam.

As soon as they stabilized the door, she ran to the window. She pried it open and waved her over. Nancy looked at the door before moving over as quickly and quietly as she could. Robin crawled out and gave Nancy a hand. They ran across the yard and Robin ignored the ladder to drop in on the swallow end.

She winced as she heard the door splintering in the room they left behind and dove into the water. It was confusing and took her a second to get her bearings before she was able to break the surface. She wiped the water from her face and relaxed a little as Nancy broke the surface right next to her.

Robin never got out of a pool faster though. Nancy gave her a hand after pulling herself up with more ease than Robin had. She had lost the bat at some point but felt at least a little safe with Nancy holding her shotgun. Nancy tugged her back inside the Harrington's house and this time they were just running. A roar emitted from the pool as they stumbled down the steps and started to run down the driveway.
