So does anyone remember that post that was like "Robin and Eddie meet when she does that thing that's like 'hello, please pretend you know me so I can get away from this person' then Steddie happens?" Because I do. I cannot for the life of me find it. If anyone knows the post I'm talking about please let me know so I can link it, this is very much not my idea, it's that persons idea but the brain worms got me so here we are. đ€·ââïž
We found it! It's this post by @wynnyfryd Thank you Anon! Obviously I went in a different direction with it but this post was 100% my inspiration so thank you for helping me find it!
AO3 link for those asking! đ€
Robin should be royally pissed off with herself right now. She would be if she wasnât so damn scared.
That guy was still trailing behind her, no matter the twists and turns sheâd taken down different streets trying to lose him and the only thing sheâd gained from it was to get totally and completely lost. It could be something completely innocent, the guy might be coincidentally going in the same direction as her but she wasnât willing to give him the benefit of the doubt if it meant keeping herself alive.
The distance between the two of them was slowly closing as she was followed through the dark and empty streets of the city, hoping, praying for some kind of shop or restaurant or something to make an appearance so she could hide inside but apparently Robin was able to find the one street in this city where everything was either closed for the night or boarded up.
Her heart was pounding in her ears and the beginnings of tears were starting to sting her eyes and all she could think of was how sick with worry Steve was going to be in the morning when he woke up to no missed calls, no missed texts and no Robin. Sheâd scoffed at him hours earlier when heâd offered to go to the âwork thingâ with her but she'd told him she was a big girl and she could look after herself and not to be such a worrywart mom.
And now she had no idea where her phone had gone, if she'd left it behind or dropped it somewhere, no idea where she was and no idea of what she was going to do.
If sheâd been a bit more present in her head she probably would have noticed the loud, braying, male laughter coming from just ahead of her and crossed the street to avoid them before it was obvious she was avoiding them. But as it was she could barely see straight through her tears and panicked tunnel vision while simultaneously trying to keep an eye on the slowly encroaching guy behind her. She was practically already in the groupâs space and one of them had definitely already seen her though he didnât pay her any attention.
But even through her blurred vision and panic, she finally registered what exactly she was looking at. Four men standing around the entrance to what looked like the diviest of empty dive bars, chain smoking and being as loud as humanly possible, but thatâs not what caught her eye.
Long hair, chains, leather, denim, tartan, rings, tattoos, subculture. If Robin had to choose a group of men to approach, any kind of subculture would be the best option. They knew what it was like to be other. There was no guarantee these guys were safe, but they were probably safer than a group of frat boys.
The next thing that caught her eye that nearly made her cry in relief as she got closer were the patches and pins.
A rainbow âAâ against a black and white striped background pinned on one guys collar, a yellow-white-purple-black patch on another's arm, a pink-yellow-blue patch over the third guys heart and a progress pride flag pinned to the largest guys pocket.
Her people.
Without a second's hesitation she made a bee-line for them, planting herself firmly next to yellow-white-purple-black patch person who had a mess of thick light brown curls that reminded her of Steveâs hair. They fell painfully silent at her arrival.
The four of them blinked down at her, with her tearfilled eyes and wild aura of panic around her they were probably, understandably freaked out.
âHi guys!â She called out to them, probably a little too loud, hoping her voice carried back to the fucker following her, tensing as she could actually hear his footsteps approaching now.
The guy with the longest hair and the pink-yellow-blue patch standing directly in front of her glanced quickly over her shoulder before returning his gaze to her. His face split into a wide warm grin, tapping her shoulder lightly.
âHey girlie. We thought you werenât coming, weâve been waiting.â
The footsteps behind her audibly slowed down. Robin laughed, a little maniacally, keeping her frantic gaze on him, not daring to turn around. âYeah, I uh- g- got sidetracked.â
âEddie, what-â
Pink-yellow-blue patch guy, Eddie she supposed, slapped âAâ patch guy lightly on the stomach with the back of his hand, shutting him up as her pursuer passed them by, giving the group a wide berth.
âHey, no worries. Youâre here now, right?â
Pride patch guy kept his eyes on the guy whoâd been following her the whole time, only looking away when he eventually turned the corner, disappearing into the night.
Robin immediately felt her posture slacken now that he was finally gone, the full weight of everything coming down on her. Her tears began to spill over and her whole body shook as hysterical sobs started to pour out of her body.
âIâm sorry. Iâm- Iâm sorry. I didnât know what else to do. I think I left my phone behind and I donât know where I am. We only moved here a couple of weeks ago and I got lost trying to get away and- and-â
âHey, hey. Itâs okay.â Yellow-white-purple-black patch person squeezed her shoulder lightly, keeping their distance. âYouâre okay. Donât worry about it.â
âWe can call someone for you, if you want?â Eddie asked, crossing his arms tight like he was trying not to reach out to her, probably worried it would freak her out more. âBoyfriend or girlfriend-â
âOr romantic partner.â The person with their hand on her shoulder interjected lightly.
âAlright Baron from the Baronies.â Eddie snorted. âBut fair point, Gareth. Romantic partner or friend or whatever?â
âUm,â Robinâs voice was still shaking. âI donât⊠Iâve never been good at memorising numbersâŠâ
âMe too, terrible at them.â Eddie smiled again, pulling his phone from his pocket. Robinâs fear and panic was almost entirely gone now even though she was still hiccuping and sniffling underneath their concerned gazes. They were all firmly keeping their distance, keeping any touches short and fleeting, not moving too suddenly, trying their best to make sure she knew they werenât a threat and it was really helping her to start feeling safe again. âBut we could try to find them online? Instagram or something?â
âYeah. Yeah we could try that.â She wiped her eyes roughly against her sleeve as she shuffled over to Eddieâs side. âMy best friend, Steve, he uh- heâs probably asleep and I donât think you can call him if you donât have him addedâŠâ
âYou can send him a message.â Eddie replied easily, handing his phone over. âAnd if he doesnât wake up, weâll try something else.âÂ
âDonât worry weâll get you home.â âAâ patch guy smiled down at her while pride patch guy nodded along.
Robin sniffed again. âThanks.â She was able to conjure up a small watery smile as she opened the app and found Steveâs profile, shooting off a quick message begging him not to freak out and explaining the situation as concisely as she could.
âHere.â She handed Eddie back his phone who glanced down at it for just a second before his eyes widened slightly as he scrolled through Steveâs profile.
âOh shit. This is your friend?â
Robin nodded. âMm-hmm.â
âHeâs⊠heâs really pretty.â
That managed to pull a startled laugh from her. âOh god, donât tell him that, youâll give him a big head.â
âLet me see?â Gareth asked, whistling low when Eddie turned his phone around showing a photo of Steve and Robin at their last pride parade cheering with the crowd, Steve with the pink-purple-blue of the bi flag smeared across each cheek and Robin with the pinks, oranges and white of the lesbian flag draped around her shoulders. âHe is really pretty.â
Eddie snatched the phone back, cradling it to his chest. âFuck off, Gare. I saw him first.â
Robin smiled again. âAny response from him?â
âHm?â Eddie asked distractedly, scrolling through Steveâs photos before pride flag guy punched him in the shoulder. âOw! Wh- oh, sorry!â Eddie frantically scrolled back up before clicking into his messages again and shaking his head. âNothing yet.â He held the phone out to show her.
âOkay.â
âWhatâs your address? If he doesnât respond, we'll find a way to get you there.â
âUhâŠâ Robin was drawing a complete blank, only able to remember her parents home address hundreds of miles away.
âOr tell us something nearby.â Eddie added, not missing a beat, clearly picking up on Robinâs lack of an answer. âWhatâs on your street?â
âUm,â she closed her eyes, trying to picture it in her head, âthereâs a couple of Chinese take outs, Asian food store, paint store⊠thereâs⊠I think itâs a tattoo parlour? Thereâs designs painted on the window, a tower on either side. I think theyâre from Lord of the Rings?â
âInklings? Is that the place?â
Robin opened her eyes. Eddie was grinning at her conspiratorially. âThatâs it. You know it?â
âWould you believe me if I told you I work there?â
âNo way.â
âWay.â
Hope was starting to grow feathers inside Robinâs chest. She could go home, she didnât have to stay out all night waiting for Steve to wake up and never let her out of his sight again, she could hug her best friend and drink coffee out of her favourite mug and curse at their finicky fridge and steal his hair products again. She could go home.
âIs it far?â
âNah, only a few streets away. Ten minute walk, tops.â
âDâyou- I mean⊠do you think you could-â Could she really ask them to walk her home after theyâd already done so much for her? Would she be asking too much? Could she be putting herself in more danger?
âI can take you there if you want? Let you get back to your⊠Steve.â There was a slight blush dusting over Eddieâs cheeks. Maybe he did have an ulterior motive, but it wasnât an ulterior motive involving her. If she wasnât so wrung out and aching to crawl into her own bed sheâd be thinking up teasing material to lambaste Steve with. But as it was, she was desperate to get home.
âWould that be okay?â
âYeah.â Eddie replied, bright and easy. âIt would just be me and you though,â he held his hands up in surrender, âand you can totally say no, like if you're uncomfortable or whatever. Gareth is Grant and Jeffâs ride home and youâre still on the clock, right?â He turned to Gareth towards the end of his sentence.
âYeah, but I get off shift in about an hour so could come in if you wanted, wait around in the back room until then if you wanna go as a group?â They answered.Â
âI think⊠I think I just want to get home.â
âOkay, cool. No worries Iâll get you there safe and sound. Here,â Eddie pulled his phone out again, âIâm gonna message Steve to let him know weâre on the way in case he wakes up,â he showed her the short message only sending it off when she gave a nod, âand Iâll get you to navigate just so we donât get lost.âÂ
He handed his phone to her with the maps app open, directing them towards Inklings tattoo parlour. He was playing it off like an easy joke, instead of another way to assure her she was safe. He was making sure she knew exactly where he was taking her at all times, he was making sure she had the ability to call the police or whatever if he turned on her, he was making sure she knew he didnât need or want her address if she didnât want to give it.Â
This fucking guy.
He definitely wouldnât be the worst choice Steve had ever made if it did go that way.
âI donât know how to thank all of you, seriously. I donât know what I would have done if I hadnât run into you.â
âDonât worry about it.â Grant smiled at her before hesitating. âUh, I just realised we donât have your name.â
âOh!â She laughed at herself, feeling lighter. âIâm Robin.â
âPleasure to meet you, Robin.â Grant held his hand out, shaking hers once she took it.
âLikewise.â
âAnd donât worry about thanking us, just pay it forward, yeah?â Jeff said.
âPlus.â Gareth took on a nonchalant tone even though they had a smirk plastered over their face. âWeâll see you again at Steve and Eddieâs wedding.â
âShut up!â Eddie scowled but didnât hold onto it for long in the wake of Robinâs giggles.
She sighed once the giggles subsided, a weight lifted off her shoulders. âI look forward to it.â She raised her hand in salute as the three of them headed back inside, turning to Eddie as he held his elbow out.
âShall we?â
Robin tried to suppress her smile but took Eddieâs arm anyway. They only made it down one street and around one corner, Robin clutching tight to Eddieâs phone before he finally asked.
"So."
"So."
"Best friend Steve." Eddie twirled his rings around his fingers. "Is heâŠ"
âHeâs single.â She answered lightly. âBut you might be arriving into his life at the wrong time. Heâs recently sworn off men.â
âWell weâve all sworn off men once or twice. Men are terrible.â
âAgreed.â
âIs it because of a bad ex?â
Robin threw her head back with a groan remembering the giant breakdown that had finally finally ended it. âTommy was the worst. Heâs the reason we even moved out here, thereâs nowhere to get away from an ex in a small town, you know? Theyâre everywhere. Iâm not going to go into what happened, itâs not my business to say but it was bad.â
Eddie nodded, his eyes down on the ground, running through everything in his head.
Robin could see the tattoo parlour up ahead, the glorious sight of their apartment building just a few buildings away.
âDo you think⊠with time⊠he could open himself up to men again?â
Eddie had such a tentative hope in his eyes, it was adorable really. Looking over him, she thought about the type of people Steve would constantly thirst over, blip in the matrix Tommy Hagan notwithstanding.
Lithe bodies with full lips and giant eyes, hair he could run his fingers through and something unusual about them. Something odd.
Heâd never explicitly gone for someone so heavily into a subculture before but heâd never turned them down either. And based on Eddieâs job at the tattoo parlour and the way he was dressed, he almost definitely had some ink on him. That alone would be enough to make Steve swoon.
âI think he might. Will you walk me up?â Robin asked, holding the door to the building open, offering Eddie the same kindness under the guise of doing a favour that he had offered her so many times tonight.
âYeah, sure.â
Theyâd managed to make it up to the third floor, walking down her hallway before Eddieâs phone started to ping incessantly.
She turned the phone over in her hand, looking at the screen. âHeâs awake.â
Robin, where are you?
Are you okay?
Iâm on the way.
Please be okay.
Their apartment door was flung open just as they reached it. Steve was standing there panting and terrified, his hair a mess, his glasses askew, his jacket and shoes thrown haphazardly over his pyjamas.
âRobbie.â
Steve slammed into her, holding her tight before immediately letting go to inspect her face and running his hands over her body, checking to see if anything was wrong.
âAre you okay? Are you hurt? What happened? What do you need?â
âSteve.â Robin caught his fluttering hands in hers and squeezed, nearly crying out in relief just to have him with her again. âIâm okay. Eddie and his friends helped me.â
âEddie-â Steve looked to the side, noticing her saviour for the first time. âYouâre Eddie.â
âIâm Eddie.â Eddie gave him a short little wave and a dazzling smile that quickly dropped in shock as Steve pulled him into a crushing hug, his blush returning with full force.
âThank you, thank you so much. I donât know what I wouldâve-â Steve took a big breath in and loosened his arms from around Eddieâs shoulders. Robin saw his eyes slowly trail over his face before very briefly flicking down to the pink-yellow-blue patch then back up. âCome inside, the two of you. Can I get you anything? Tea? Decaf coffee? A glass of water? Like, literally anything to say thank you.â He asked, ushering the two of them into the apartment.
Steve caught Robinâs eye behind Eddieâs back and mouthed âoh my god heâs fucking gorgeous!â
Robin snorted and thought to herself âsworn off men, my ass.â

pairing: the ghoul x fem!reader
word count: 4k
summary: after two weeks of traversing the wasteland with cooper on the search for a common enemy, you found yourself needing some⊠relief. it just so happened that you werenât alone in the sentiment.
warnings: mdni! smut, choking, praising, cooper likes complimenting you while he fucks you. đ€
notes: continuation of this post!
travelling with cooper started as a forced necessity, one that you hadnât been able to make an executive decision on, but the feeling of that rope around your neck had been long forgotten as you both careened through the wasteland together. cooper had proved his loyalty to you, a surprising feat that you had never imagined being possible. if there was even an ounce of kindness or empathy within that man, it was invisible to the naked eye. he did a damn good job at hiding any and all outward emotion, reeking of wit, sarcasm and cockiness.
yet, you had been gifted with seeing another side of the ghoul, a side which made you wonder what sort of feelings he harbored for you. it was a tricky thought and easy to get lost in it, especially as you wandered behind him and were given ample time to just⊠stare.
each night you were greeted with his hands in your hair, gloveless fingers pulling through the strands and sometimes tickling against your cheek until you fell asleep. his lap had become your pillow, and his jacket was your bed and blanket.
neither of you spoke about it, most mornings waking up as though your nightly intimacy had never happened. you were thankful for it because you had no idea how to even comprehend how you felt for cooper.
love was too soon. infatuation was too strong.
you respected him. you cared for him. you appreciated the way he protected you.
you yearned for his touch.
each day as the hot sun burned your skin, you watched him from behind and imagined things about him. it started off as daydreaming about his fingers in your hair, rubbing along your scalp and how you couldnât wait for night to come. soon, though, these thoughts drifted when you were greeted with a deep, familiar coiling in your stomach that came when you had spent enough time away from self pleasure.
guilt gnawed away when you found yourself dreaming about him in ways that made you squeeze your thighs. what would his lips feel like against yours? what sounds would come from his lips as he fucked you senselessly?
you rarely got far with your thoughts before you had to ask for a sip of water and a short rest, avoiding his groans of disapproval for slowing you both down.
cooper felt the same way, but the guilt riddled him far more than you could ever imagine. he had lived far longer in this world than you, he became a changed manâwas once a loving father and husband who was betrayed and transformed into nothing but a merciless, murderous bounty hunter.
he knew better than to think of you in any way other than just a partnered traveler of the wasteland. war may have changed him, but there were morals that belonged to the old cooper howard that would remain forever.
you were so much younger than he was, an innocent little thing that had come to the surface after spending your whole life in a vault, all because you were so intent on saving a life and finding the truth. you had so much kindness and curiosity in your heart, once comparable to him when he was nothing more than a star for the masses. nothing good would come from him taking that innocence away from you, especially after what youâd experienced only a week prior at the hands of the man who wanted you in exchange for caps.
at night, his mind was pure filth when he thought about you as his fingers ran along your scalp, eyes watching the way your chest moved up and down. how your lips parted when gentle snores would escape.
you woke up alone most times, unaware that the reasoning was because cooper had to excuse himself in the early morning hoursâa bit of relief.
you werenât so lucky because he never left you alone.
âcooper,â you whined, smacking your lips audibly so he heard you from a few paces behind, âcan we rest? i need water, and maybe something to eat.â
boots stopped in the sand as you two ventured closer to the mojave, foliage becoming distant as the hot sun and dry air took over. after some investigating, the ghoul had found some intel on the whereabouts of another peculiar vault dweller, presumably your father, who had made way for new vegas. the travels had become difficult now as civilization was few and far between, and you still hadnât been given any alone time that you desperately needed.
cooper glanced over his shoulder at you, quirking a hairless brow curiously, âand how do you think weâre going make it through the desert if weâre stoppinâ every mile, sweetheart?â the nickname rolled off his tongue easily, but he hadnât meant it so sweetly.
âi like you better at night,â you huffed at him as you trudged forward, walking past him and taking the lead, âyouâre much nicer then.â
you could hear the sigh as heavy steps came up behind you, leather rustling as cooper fell in stride beside you so casually, âseems we see eye to eye on that matter,â he drawled, âyou demand less when the moon is high, vaultie. the sound of you snorinâ means i can stop listeninâ to your yappinâ,â he clicked his tongue, solidifying his point.
âyouâre the worst,â you seethed quietly between your teeth, keeping your eyes ahead and doing your best to ignore the way his voice warmed your cheeks and butterflies swirled in your stomach.
nightfall came fast, thankfully, and the two of you had just managed to stumble upon a rickety old home nestled in a hilly area of the desert. it was full of enough sand and dust to know that no one had set foot in it for a long timeâsafe enough for you to settle down for a rest. cooper allowed you to indulge in your stores of water and jerky, only enough to keep your stomach from eating itself alive.
however, water and food wouldnât sate your libido. as a small fire warmed you as the harsh cold of the desert chilled you to the bone, you tucked your knees to your chest and closed your eyes to focus on your breathing. you had never felt more like an animal in your life, when you were in the vault you may not have had tens of suitors at your disposal, but you had plenty of alone time and two very usable hands. you were used to indulging when arousal struck.
you felt awful. your mind shouldâve been fixated on your fatherâs whereabouts, yet you rested your chin on your knees and squeezed your eyes shut as you tried not to think about cooper fucking you. he was sitting right next to you, for crying out loud.
as if he knew you were thinking about him, the cowboy ghoul looked over at you with a quiet sigh escaping him as he shrugged off his long, leather coat, âhere. youâre gonnaâ freeze to death before morninâ,â he spoke lowly, shifting so he could drape it over your shoulders until it covered much of your body, âdesert nights arenât for amateur adventurers.â
a shaky breath quivered from your lips as warmth enveloped you, and you couldnât help but lean your body against his side to chase more. in response, you felt cooperâs body tense for a brief moment before his arm slowly wrapped over your shoulders and hugged you tight against his side.
silence surrounded you, much like cooper, and you found yourself quickly drifting into a much-needed sleep. unfortunately for you, you were afflicted with the curse of sleep-talking, especially when you were particularly stressed.
cooperâs eyes were fixated on the fire, red and orange embers burning on the old wood as the smoke bellowed out the open windows. heâd been lost deep in his thoughts, wondering how he was letting himself get so soft for someone he hardly knewâthen you started mumbling in your sleep. words mostly unintelligible.
âmmh,â you grunted, your eyes squeezing tight as you tilted your face toward cooper, nose brushing against the tight, weathered skin on his neck. it made his breath catch in his throat, âcooper.â
his eyes flickered down to you, tilting his chin just enough so he could see the way your eyes were moving behind their lids, dreaming vividly. he knew that he should wake you up, or at least give you a slight nudge so you would turn away or move down to rest over his lap, but curiosity won. he licked at his lips as you furrowed your brows, your breath hitching in your throat as you choked on what he could only imagine was a moan.
âplease,â you slurred quietly, âcooper, donât⊠stop.â
âvaulââ cooperâs nickname for you was cut short when your hand had slithered past the confines of the coat and right over the bulge that tented in his pants, gentle fingers rubbing, âshit.â he hissed, fighting back a low grumble as he watched with half-lidded eyes.
there was no turning back now, not when he flickered his gaze to look over your face, only to be met with your own tired eyes, just barely open. shit.
âi really need this,â you murmured, inhibitions long gone as the night sank in, âplease.â
âyou need to think long and hard about this, darlinâ,â cooper managed to keep his voice level as his gloved hand reached for yours and pushed it until it rested on his thigh.
âiâve thought about it for a whole week,â you pleaded, fingernails scratching at the fabric of his pants.
there was the smirk you were hoping to see, cracking his lips apart as a laugh whistled out of him, âwell, now, a whole week is quite some time to be keeping these feelings at bay without actinâ on âem. maybe youâve got more willpower than i thought.â
you swallowed thickly, pulling away from him just enough so you could sit straighter, âdonât tease me,â you spoke, jutting out your bottom lip in a pout that made heat pool in the pit of his stomach, âi can very much tell you need this as much as i do.â
when his lips twitched you knew you had him right where you wanted him, there was no sense in him denying it. not when you could take one quick glance down to see the trouble youâve caused for him.
âyou think you know what i need?â cooperâs voice, as thick as molasses, made a shiver run down your spine. he lifted a hand after snagging the glove off, caressing your jaw as his calloused thumb brushed over your bottom lip. long gone were the thoughts that worried about morals, you had each other pinned and the outcome was inevitable.
âi do,â you said as you shifted in your spot, âyou can touch me. iâm not going to break.â
that roused a laugh deep from cooperâs chest, a smile breaking across his lips, âoh, trust me, if you were gonnaâ break you wouldâve shattered when i first lassoed that rope around your precious neck,â he grinned, âyou are somethinâ elseâa real force to be reckoned with.â
you parted your lips to speak, but your breath was quickly taken when cooperâs pressed against yours and within seconds your entire body was on fire. arms wrapped around his shoulders and neck, the leather jacket falling off of your body as you moved to your knees for better support. you fought for air as you kissed him with desperation, hands clinging tight to his collar as you slipped so easily onto his lap with your knees on either side of his hips.
his hands slid up the side of your body, caressing your curves as your tongues pressed together and moans muffled in each otherâs mouths. with ease, one hand moved to your front so he could tug down at the zipper on your vault outfit, just like the one heâd worn many moons before.
you broke the kiss so you could lean back and take a breath, your chest heaving with each inhale as you helped him remove the jumpsuit until it slid off your shoulders and left you in the white tank top that hugged tight against your breasts. not once did you feel judged under his gaze, in fact, his appreciation for your boldness was palpable, especially as he wore that shit-eating smirk while his fingers slipped under the hem of your top. his skin was rough against yours that had been mostly untouched from the harsh sun rays, it made you tilt your head back and let out a soft sound.
âi wannaâ hear more of those delicious sounds,â cooperâs voice was heavy in your ear as he leaned forward and brushed his lips against your jaw, hands grabbing tight at your bare hips and fingers digging into the skin.
he wasnât afraid to handle you rough, squeezing a whimper out between your plump lips as he forced your hips to roll against his. both of you relished in the friction, you could feel his hardened cock buried underneath his clothing as it pressed against your aching cunt. it clenched around nothing pathetically as you rubbed yourself against him with need.
âfuck,â you breathed out shakily as you kept your hips grinding forward in a steady motion, feeling like you could cum like thisâbut cooper wasnât going to have any of that.
âlanguage, darlinââ he teased, his teeth dragging across your skin as his lips kissed down your neck, nipping at your skin so he could hear your soft mewls of pleasure as your fingers began hurriedly unbuttoning his shirt, rather poorly.
once rid of the fabric, your hands explored over his body, the skin thick and rough like leather, far different than anything youâve experienced or known to be true. as your eyes fixated on his body in the firelight and your fingernails scratched at the surface of his chest, you shuddered when he slipped your shirt off and revealed your tits for him to ravage at his leisure.
you had felt selfish for so long, telling yourself that being on the surface meant giving up parts of your old life. pleasure wouldnât be easy to come by, if at all. there were important things to focus on, lives to save.
yet, here you wereâlaying on your back over cooperâs leather jack as his hands tugged off the remainder of your vault suit and tossed it behind him. he was settled on his knees before you, so close to you that you were forced to spread your legs on either side of him.
long fingers pressed against your panties, the fabric between your legs soaking wet as he teased you. you could hardly meet his eyes, keeping your own closed as you felt him tug the fabric aside so he could press a digit to your swollen clit. his thumb circled it slowly and you squirmed underneath him, but his other hand pressed against your stomach to keep you flat against the floor.
âkeep still, my girl,â he murmured as he pushed a finger into your pussy, happy to find that a second slid in just as easily, ânow look at you takinâ my fingers so well, you mustâve been needinâ this for a real long time. i suppose i can reward that patience of yours,â he praised you through tender movements, each thrust of his two fingers causing moans to spill from your lips as you squeezed your cunt around them, âgood girl.â
being praised by cooper was a delightful surprise, warmth hitting your cheeks when you opened your eyes and saw him staring down at his fingers while he fucked you with them.
âoh, fuckââ your breath caught in your throat when he curled his fingers, rubbing against the spot that always made you cum. you pulled your knees back so you could press your thighs together around his hand, growing overstimulated. that barely lasted for a second before cooper forced them back apart, the speed of his fingers picking up until he was fucking you relentlessly, your pussy dripping wet and coating his fingers. you hadnât even taken his cock yet and your mouth was wide open and eyes nearly rolling into the back of your head as pleasure coursed through your body.
you moaned out his name loudly, your throat growing hoarse as the knot in your stomach wound tight.
cooper let out a heavy sigh, his hand pressing over your lower stomach and his thumb flicking over your clit, âi need you to cum, darlinâ.â
thatâs all the encouragement you needed to hear before you came on his fingers, squirming and touching as his fingers fucked you through the orgasmâhis other hand tugging at his belt buckle.
âoh, goodness,â you breathed, your eyes fluttering as your senses slowly returned to you and you could finally get in a deep breathâbut that hadnât lasted very long, âah, fuck!â
you tilted your chin down and hadnât even noticed that cooper had unbuttoned his pants just enough to let his cock spring out. you werenât given a chance to see how big he was before he was pushing it inside of you. you could already tell he was bigger than anything youâve taken before as it stretched out your pussy, pain shooting through you as you whimpered loudly.
âshh,â cooper pressed a finger to your lips, trying to quiet you down as he pushed his hips forward until his cock was deep inside. you wouldnât stop with the mixture of moans and pained whimpers, so cooper shoved two fingers into your mouth and you sucked on them like a bitch in heat, âfuck.â
both of you needed time to adjust, you could see cooperâs chest moving as he breathed heavily and you could feel his cock twitching. his free hand settled on your hip as he leaned back on his heels, the fingers in your mouth retreating to instead fondle your perfect tits. he was positioned nicely, able to indulge in the sight as his cock slowly pulled out of your swollen cunt, large hand now pressed against your lower stomach to keep you still as he rocked his hips in a slow, steady rhythm.
the ghoulâs mind was far from what was right and wrong. he was hyper focused on how you looked in this moment, your pretty face completely fucked out and full of euphoria. your chin wet from his fingers and your thighs squeezing against his hips to ground yourself from the size of his cock as it filled you completely with each roll of his hips.
slow didnât last longâcooper didnât have the patience, nor the need to go slow. he knew you were a capable young thing, able to take his cock easily as he leaned forward enough so his hand could instead wrap around your throat. his hips snapped against yours mercilessly in one quick thrust, a violent rhythm following after that made you want to scream at the pleasure that made your entire body shake. you swore youâd never felt someone fuck you so deeply, a gurgled moan choked in your throat as he forcefully kept you quiet, pressing on your windpipe.
âkeep takinâ it,â cooper groaned, sweating beading on his forehead as his cock slammed so deep inside you that tears welled up in your eyes from the ache, âyouâre good at taking a cock, vaultie, i shouldâve fucked you senseless sooner.â
you were unable to answer his vulgar words with your jaw slack.
he fucked you like this for a good while, your hands lifting up to press flat against his chest and stomach. he continued to litter you with praises and compliments, words you were certain youâd only hear under this circumstanceâyou hoped this wasnât the only time youâd be fucked by him.
your body was growing weak with each passing second, but you were able to offer enough energy to sit up as cooper pulled you along with him as he sat and leaned back against the wall. you were straddling him once again, your knees raw against the sandy floorboards as his hands guided you to slowly bounce up and down.
your hands rested over his shoulders for support and soon you had enough strength to fuck yourself on his cock just like he wanted, giving him the opportunity to sit back and watch your show.
you were desirable in his eyes, your cheeks red as you squeezed at his shoulders tight, long lashes fluttering as moans fell past your lips that he kissed so much they were plump and swollen. you were surprised that you were able to keep up a good rhythm, feeling him stretch you out each time you pressed your hips down on his. you wanted to talk to him, to tell him how good he felt or how you wanted him to toss you on your hands and knees and fuck you without holding back, but all you could do was moan his name as your head hung back and eyes fixated on the dim ceiling.
âfuck,â he hissed, leaning forward and pressing his lips against your ear as his thumb circled your clit, âi need you to cum on my cock now, darlinâ,â he pleaded, breath hot and sending a shiver down your spine as you had slowly started to lose your strength, âbe a good girl for me,â he cooed, and you were obedient.
much like when you exercised in the vault, you dug deep inside and gathered all your remaining strength, this time for the sake of pleasing yourself and the ghoul who had thrown his morals out the window for the sake of pleasure. cooperâs hand lifted so he could tilt your chin down, forcing your eyes to meet his as you bounced yourself steadily, âcooper,â you whined, âyou⊠ahâfuck. donât stop. please, please, please.â
your begging worked wonders. cooperâs thumb rubbed hard against your clit as he did his best to snap his hips upward each time you slammed down on his cock, meeting you halfway. his groans of pleasure were loud as both of you balanced on the edge of release, seconds away from letting that heat in your stomachs explode.
of course, you were the first to cry out so loud that cooper had to shut you up with his lips.
you came hard, your hips shaking and thighs twitching as you moaned his name as his tongue assaulted yours. you wanted to push him away and fall back onto the floor, to writhe on the ground in pleasure as your body could have a chance to relaxâŠ
but cooper wasnât done yet. with both of his hands landing on your hips, he kept your sensitive cunt fucking his cock like you were just some toy. you were sensitive everywhere, your body hot to the touch and cunt abused by his cock, using a hand to cover your mouth as tears spilled down your cheeks each time he brushed against your cervix.
âshit,â he breathed, âyou little killer.â
with a final, deep thrust of his hips, cooper came inside you with your name strangled in his throat. you could feel the bruising on your skin from his tight hands as you collapsed forward and buried your face into the crook of his neck.
your heavy breaths were the only sounds, aside from the crackling of the dying fire. both of your bodies were damp and sticky from sweat and cumâcold from the wind that blew through the open windows, so you curled up against his chest as his cock softened inside you. neither of you made a move, instead cooper reached for the leather jacket that had been under your body, putting it around your shoulders once more so the cool air was blocked for you both.
âwe should⊠do that again.â you breathed on his skin, smiling when a weak laugh bubbled up from his throat, humoured by you.
finally, relief warmly greeted you both.

(Entertainment purpose only. All rights reserved)
Now, shall we begin~? ^w^
Think of that beautiful person on your mind, and pick whichever pile that fits the energy you're feeling drawn to~đ
Pile 1đ§
Pile 2đš
Pile 3đââŹ
Pile 4đ
Take your time and choose carefully with the heart~âĄ
On to the readings â> đ
Pile 1đ§
Sign energy: Water, Fancy, Hair, Avoidance, Options, Chiron, Pisces, 8th house, Vertex, Mercury,đ
ââïžđđ§đ§ââïž
đ€Your person's energy: I'm sensing that this is an emotional individual, even if they don't show it. They might be more serious to others, but they have feelings themselves. Dominant energy of Pisces, Scorpio, Virgo and Gemini, for some of you pisces mercury or chiron conjunct mercury is significant. I feel like they have a closed off demeanor and some people may expect them to be cold or in a bad mood. This person likely changes their hair a lot, could be drastically like the color. Their hair may be very attractive to youđ Your person may often avoid things they aren't ready for, not necessarily indecisive but just very avoidant. This could be because they have been through a lot of damage in the past, they have a lot of emotions built up and they have been hurt with others words.đ„ They may not enjoy classy events or that could be a regular thing for them that they can't stand. Because I'm picking up for some of you this person is higher class. The color orange may be significant. For some of you this person is avoiding you, I'm hearing they're running out of options take what resonates whatever that means for you. You have a deep attraction and infatuation with this person, but I'm getting that they are more so reserved when it comes to intimate relationships. So they push back a bit if you approach them, They're a heavy thinker and may expect issues to occur if they get involved in a romantic connection. They get lost in their thoughts sometimes, but they have a really aesthetic voice.đ
đŹHow they would describe you: Energy, Mindfulness, Decay, Lilith, Tears, Fire, 1st house, 2nd house, Virgo, Pluto, đ©đ«đ„±đž
Okay so your person would describe you as someone who has a very bright and youthful vibe to them, and there's a spark of determination in your eyes. They would say you also have a witty and sharp mind, they feel as if you outsmart them. They're kind of jealous of you for it. But they think you are too hard on yourselves, and it tears them apart on the inside. Maybe you judge yourself too hard? They would say they want to give you good vibes and recharge your happiness.đ€ When you enter the room, your energy just radiates to them. I feel like they would tell others how sweet you are.đ They would like to say you seem really smart, actually. They bet many people are jealous of your abilities. To be honest, they would say the way your mind works scares them a little, but it also makes you very attractive.đł they would feel like your words could pierce into their soul, and get kind of intimidated. They don't know for sure, but something about you is just captivating. They would describe you as someone you would want to hug, especially when you're feeling down or low on energy. That you have a strong approach to the world, and put your best foot forward. They don't know what to expect from you at the moment, not exactly warmed up to you yet. Your person might need more time to analyze you, and see what you're truly all about.đđ©·
đMessages from your person: You need me now, They know, We were meant to be, Again and again, Let me adore you (How sweetđ„șđ)
Extra cards: Abandonment, Soft spot, Tight, Vent, Love song
Thank you my pile 1's! If you feel this resonated, you may tap the heart to claim this message!đ©·

Pile 2đš
Sign energy: Outfit, Harm, Swim, Closed, Fake smile, Uranus, Venus, 9th house, 1st house, Jupiter, đđŠŽđ°ââïžđ
đ€Your person's energy: For this pile I am sensing someone physically bigger, they have an outward vibe to them. I feel like your person just fills the room with their aura, they could be charismatic or seem that way to you. Dominant signs are Aquarius, Taurus, Libra, Sagittarius, Aries and Pisces energy. They dress very individually, I'm hearing no one in your circle dresses the way they do. It's definitely something thay catches your eye, they have a very specific style that's unique and freshđ Your person may be very drawn to foreigners especially females from a different background from them, maybe they wish to marry someone from a different country or language?đđ«ą Your person has a pretty smile, they smile a lot and many people adore their smile. Swimming could be a hobby for them or maybe their field of work for some of you. I feel like this person puts on a social face, they could be really good at hiding their emotions. You may imagine yourself with this person a lot, but they get a lot of female attention.đ Physically they are attractive and well dressed. Your person is very social, they may not necessarily want to be but since they recieve so much attention it is hard to avoid.đŹđ« For some of you this person is more of an introvert with a lot of friends. Your person has a very broad selection of clothing styles, they like trying out new things. Very expirimental person, they also have great bone structure I'm hearing.đȘ
đŹHow they would describe you: Rise, Surface, Focus, Queen, Danger, Uranus, Aries, Jupiter, 5th house, 9th house,đžâŹïžđ§Łđ
Ohh okay this is very interesting, so your person would describe you as someone very attractiveđ It's not like they're flirting about it but they do see you as someone very romantically magnetic, you have charms about you that they think many people would adore. So your person would also describe you as a unique and empowered person, but I definitely think if you asked them what they think of you the first thing that comes to mind would be your physical traitsđ«Šâšïž Yesss your person would think that first when it comes to you. But also they would say you have a lot of drive and determination for enhancing your experiences in life, they would say you are fun-loving and unpredictable.â€ïžâđ„ Also that you put a lot into your love life, some of you may want to date around and explore your possible romantic adventures and your person sees that as a part of your personality and who you are. They would describe you as a creative and entertaining person to be around, someone who knows how to enjoy themselves.đ„ł You are a huge focus to this person too omg, they're really interested in you I'm hearing. They would say that they're curious and you, and willing to see what you're about. They also would say that you're a little wild and untamed, but also untouchable in a powerful way.đđ Your person would see you as your own queen/king, someone with a sense of self worth and achievement.đ
đMessages from your person: Stop thinking about me, I'm so into you, Whatever works for you, Anything for you, I'm desperate (Omg whaaatđąđ)
Extra cards: Last, Creativity, Hate, Medication, Alice in wonderland

Libra may be significant, that is the sign of relationships too.đźđ Your person has a very soft energy to them, but also very capable like they are not a helpless or dependent kind of person. This relationship could feel somewhat out of reach to you or them, like there is just so much going on right now for you both. You may view them as an ideal romantic partner, or they have many traits you want in a lover. Definitely a more feminine and sweeter energy.đđž Some of my pile 3's are dating this person, because I'm definitely getting this mutual loving and romantic interest from both sides. You may be madly in love with this person or they may be madly in love with you.đ The intimacy from them could be the best you have had if you've been intimate with them.

âïžđđ€Šââïžđ«±
đ€Your person's energy: Okay there is a lot of talk centered around this person, my pile 4's your person is on many people's minds I'm getting.đđ!! There are main energies of Gemini, Virgo, Scorpio, Taurus and Aries. I feel like this person is kinda like a forbidden fruit to you guys, like you shouldn't take the bite but you're really tempted. Maybe they're said to be bad or dangerous, like you may just get this vibe from them that's like bad news. Your person may wear makeup or you tend to wear a lot around them.đđ Omg I feel like your person is the type that others think they are wearing makeup even when they aren't, their bare face is really attractive to you.đł You may have a habit of falling back into this connection, there is definitely a cycle happening with this person. Particularly feminines are talking about your person a lot, and masculines are like talking bad about them that's what I'm picking up on. There may be gossip about you and this person, I think a lot of people are jealous of your person and the way they think and communicate themselves in a powerful and magnetic way.đ€ You may be desperate to talk to them, some of you want to marry this person. I can definitely feel that they are tired of what everyone is saying about them, there may be some gossip going around about you too. Your person is actually really genuine, if they like you they won't be fickle about it. They may be very honest or direct in their romantic relationships. Also they don't like gossip and rumors I'm hearing.

Your appearance is comforting and sweet to them, and they would say you are so worthy of their time and love.đ They would call you a unique and soft individual, something about you is so special to them. They would say you are someone they want to date, and stay with for a long time.đđ Your person would also say you confuse them in many ways too haha, you have a mysterious allure they can't seem to figure out.đ§ âšïž Your person would describe you as friendly and sweet.

You! Yes, you. What are you doing? Letting your life passing by you like that⊠donât make a habit of attempting to give up without even trying. Donât you dare waste your precious time. Itâs time to wake up my little honey bear. I donât wanna see you like that. You got your passion to go after, a so amazing future ahead of you waiting for you to embrace.
Donât you think youâre worth it? Worth your effort trying to make what you truly want happen even if you donât know the outcome now? Because I think you are. Iâm right here even if you canât see me. You would know how frustrated I can be when youâre being so stubborn and fearful. Thatâs so not you, you know that *chuckle*. Where did the little fiery spirit go, hm? I get that, things are not that easy⊠everything used to be easier, dot dot dot but donât you see that youâre just making it harder than it looks? What do you have to lose if you just make the first step, huh? Try it, right now! No one is standing in your way but yourself. I can speak from experience.
A not so good result? Chin up. Try it again! And again until you got the hang of it. Itâs better than just living in dissatisfaction and getting by right? Master your bravery until you master your craft. Now take my hand and trust in the process. Believe in yourself and what you can. Iâm always watching you from above. Donât make me feel sad about not being able to guide you. I want you to enjoy yourself and your life. You got this! Thereâs nothing to worry about. Open your heart and your mind then youâll see the magic happening right in front of you. Make a difference first and all will follow. Iâm always beside you, loving and supporting you. We will find each other again. Iâm the light at the end of the tunnel, always guiding you home. Youâve never lost me. You belong with me. If you miss me, look deep in your heart and youâll see me there. Have hope my love.

Itâs hard for me to say something or anything at all. I donât know⊠Iâm in pain right now. The darkest feelings from memories that Iâve always wanted to escape from are catching up to me. I canât take this excruciating pain and agony anymore. People are cruel. Sometimes I ask myself if love really is out there, if itâs kind enough to wait for me to give me its sincere and beautiful magic like how they called it at all or if thereâs nothing like that because if there is, would it betray me like this? What does it all mean? Is everything just love? What is love? Is it just a journey one must go to find themself again? Itâs hard, itâs painful. I feel like losing myself. Why does one have to go through pain?
I canât get these bitter feelings off of me. My world is falling apart with nothing to hold on to. Youâre the one i want to avoid the most but at the end of the day I somehow always find myself holding on to you again. Youâre the only one I can remember, the only one I can hold onto even if I donât want it. The only thing I can do is to deny it so I wonât believe it but I know thatâs not the truth. Youâre keeping me from collapsing completely. I know itâs selfish if I say I want you to ease my pain, to take my pain away but right now youâre the only safe haven I have.
I want to be a sweet and friendly person for you but thereâs all this anxiety. The horror and the fear from the past are holding me back. Iâm scared. Iâm scared to scare you. Iâm triggered when I see your face. You need to stay out of my way. I donât want to hurt you. I fear to make this mistake again. To trust and then being let down again. Loving you feel like a dream but Iâm too unstable. What if I canât ever get out of that dream although itâd be a beautiful thought but Iâm scared to mess up. I used to have everything but you and now I have nothing but you to hold onto. Isnât that sad or just a clichĂ©? I do want to give you a love so pure and I want love you unconditionally but maybe love is not in it for me, maybe i just need to focus on myself. Iâm just unlucky I guess, for a lack of a better word.

Iâve been looking for you for way too long. We belong together, you and I. We're soulmates, I just know it. I know youâre right there. Youâre just waiting for me like I am for you. Itâs reassuring to know we both sit under the same sky looking at the same moon right? I canât wait to meet you. I think weâre alike. Youâre exactly what Iâm looking for. Let me be the perfect missing puzzle to your picture and you can be the light that is shining on me. Youâre my beautiful dream fever. You drive me wild and crazy.
Under the moonlight let me adore you. I can imagine your eyes sparkling when admiring the stars while Iâm the one whoâs admiring your beauty. Looking into your eyes must be magical. I donât have to see through rose-colored glasses to recognize how you are the rosĂ© world embellished with flower petals yourself that I seek. Youâre a fascination to me. I canât figure you out yet but that doesnât stop me from wanting to know you more. I donât actually know you but I feel like I do regardless. I donât need to know the truth. My heart knows youâre perfect either way.
Your skin, the softness that you carry in you. I want to inhale your scent like it's some kind of drug I canât get used to with its intensity but wonât be able to stop. You speak and understand me with all your body and soul, I know you do, thus this is why day by day I dive into you with my soul. Although my mortal eyes show and tell me something else it doesnât matter. As long as I have you in my heart I know youâre already here with me and always. They say youâre a rare diamond that I, as an ordinary human, have no chance to earn but let me, a humble one, find you and treat you the way youâve always deserved because youâre worthy of all good. You can decide once you see and know me if Iâm worthy of your attention and love. I want to claim you as mine but not out of fear, instead I want you to claim me as yours as well.

Why are you so ridiculously beautiful? Youâre so stunningly beautiful. You can do whatever you want to me, and Iâll let you. I care for you so much. Youâre the softest sound from the most perfect lullaby Iâve ever known of but canât seem to believe actually exists. I dream of you. I want to see you smile and make you happy.
Come here. Iâm right here, sweetheart. I need you to stop beating yourself up. You wonât hurt yourself. You wonât give up. You can overcome anything because youâre strong. You can do it for yourself and me. Be happy and live your life to the fullest. You deserve it my little darling. You donât know how special you are so donât you dare lose your light because of anything or anyone trying to dim that light. Stay positive and be brave. I know you can.
Most of the times I donât even know why my heart is longing for you. Itâs like thereâs an invisible draw that is pulling me towards you. A call for my other half. An important half that I feel is missing in me. Is there a chance that Iâve known you before because I feel like knowing you without knowing you before. You open up memories in me that Iâve never seen before but they are telling me they exist deep in my mind and were forgotten for a very long time. Do you believe in destiny? I donât but I might get convinced.
With me you donât have to be tough all the time or pretend to be. I can love you for who you are with all your strengths and weaknesses. If youâre really the right one for me and that can only my heart tells, Iâll love you with all that my heart can offer. And I promise you, I will stick around as long as I can. I wonât let you down.
Now wait for you? I can do that. Even if the world ends tomorrow my will would stay strong. I want to be able to see and touch you. Iâm confused but this is somehow a good feeling. What do you say? I think Iâm not ready for our union yet but I might get surprised by the universe by what it is conspiring for us, I guess?

Yandere Akatsuki Headcanons (Platonic)
â â đ„ lady l: something I thought about for a while and decided to do it now. I hope you like it and forgive me for any mistakes! â€ïžđ€
âtw: obsessive and possessive behavior, murder, mention of death, yandere themes, stalking and jealousy.
âđ„pairing: platonic yandere!akatsuki x gender neutral!reader.
Becoming part of Akatsuki was an important decision and one you knew shouldn't be made lightly. They were wanted and dangerous criminals. Once you decided to join, there would be no going back.
You were not innocent, you had already killed and committed some minor crimes and you were a well-trained ninja. That's why you decided to join Akatsuki. You just didn't know that your life would turn out completely different than you initially thought it would.
Pain was a little wary of allowing you to join Akatsuki, as not only did you not have a little-known reputation but there was something about you that unnerved him. That attracts him. But he decided to agree, after talking to Konan.
That's how you joined the world's most wanted ninja, Akatsuki and became their obsession.
Pain is the leader of Akatsuki and has a god complex. He is serious and distant, rarely approaching other members except to give him missions or orders. However, when he is Nagato he is totally different. Kind and shy. You and Konan are the only people who really know him as Nagato.
Regardless of your identity, he is very protective of you. He sees you as something good, as one of the few remnants of goodness, even if you are a criminal, you are still better than everyone. Besides being quite possessive of you. He wants to become a God and he will, but he sees no point in becoming one if you are not by his side.
Konan possessed a calmness, an admirable and frightening control. She has enviable self-control and this is visible in the way she deals with you. She is very calm around you, offering a kind smile and seeking any form of affection she can get from you.
She is desperate for affection, but she will never admit it. Konan is very intelligent and knows how to manipulate you. Stoic and cold-blooded, she will kill anyone who gets in her way, in your life other than herself and the other members. She takes whatever time she can have by your side.
Tobi has lost a lot during his life and these losses have shaped him into who he is today. He never expected to get attached to someone again, to love someone else after being deprived of someone he loved. This made him paranoid and very overprotective of you. Obito already lost someone he loved once, he won't lose you too.
He is introverted, however, and tries to avoid social interactions with the other Akatsuki members as much as possible, but with you, he is more sociable. Tobi is very possessive and always has one eye on you, especially when you are around the other members.
Itachi is calm and reserved, his feelings for you, the obsession he harbors, are very well hidden behind his mask. Not even the other members know Itachi very well, as he is enigmatic and mysterious. He deals with you the same way he does with everyone else, calmly and without showing much of how he feels. This makes you more distant.
However, he is not a really bad person. He did bad things, things he will regret. He sees a second chance in you, he trusts his intuition and you a lot. Itachi has a strong sense of empathy towards you and he is the one who notices the most if you are uncomfortable or upset about something, usually offering you comfort. He is possessive, however, because he has already lost a lot and wants your attention to him.
Kisame is a tailless tailed beast, a shark in humanoid form and he has strong predator instincts. He is very aggressive and can often be dominated by his bloodlust and desire for death, but he knows how to control himself when he wants to or when ordered to do so. You are one of the few people who can convince him to have mercy.
He's very perceptive, though. Kisame is always on alert and is aware of any danger and his first reaction is to take you away from danger. He is very protective and is also great at analyzing people and will know when you are bad.
Kakuzu only cares about money and himself, an avaricious and greedy man. He used to be like that until you joined Akatsuki and he started to care about you, but like a possession. Something that belonged to him, something to be controlled.
He often says that you can only trust him and money, the only two things you can rely on. Kakuzu is very attached to you and cares in his own way. He has a violent temper and becomes obsessed easily and you are his biggest obsession. He gets jealous very easily and reacts harshly to it.
Zetsu is a duality and only a manipulation, a difficult one to read and understand. White Zetsu is the easiest to deal with, he is playful and carefree, and he loves to tease others. He is very calm and loves to have fun with you, but he is very protective of you and although he doesn't usually use violence, he will.
Black Zetsu is the real problem. He is very intelligent and is the real brain behind many plans, serious and experienced. He is a great manipulator, appearing trustworthy and loyal, but his true loyalty is unknown to you. He is very possessive and a born stalker and will kill anyone who gets too close to you. He gets into several conflicts with White Zetsu because of this.
Deidara is extremely proud and fully believes that the greatest art form is destruction. He does not accept defeat and will always seek revenge. He is very reckless and even impulsive, often acting without thinking and that includes you. But he is not stupid, but rather calculating.
He is easily jealous and no one can insult you around him, as he will go crazy and be willing to sacrifice even himself to destroy the offender. Deidara protects you fiercely and his possessiveness leads him to states of madness that only you or Sasori can control. His favorite activity is the art of explosion with you.
Sasori is devoid of any human emotion, has no feelings of affection and is even considered inhuman. He doesn't feel anything, he never cared about anyone or anything, until he met you. Cold and distant, Sasori just watches from afar, preferring to keep his attention on his puppets.
You made him feel something for the first time in years, someone he could finally have the love he always wanted as a child. Sasori, although distant, still stays close to you when it suits him. He became possessive, even threatening the other Akatsuki members over you. He doesn't care about anything or anyone except you. And he won't let you be taken from him. Even if he has to turn you into a puppet. You will stay together.
Hidan has no respect for anything or anyone, insulting everything and everyone that suits him. Not even his own leader is safe from his insults, considering he doesn't respect him at all. Although a religious ninja, Hidan acts in a manner completely contrary to a religious person. He kills everything and everyone without any remorse.
He is quite easygoing towards you, his insults are never directed at you and he will eviscerate anyone who dares to insult you. Hidan is a sadist, finding pleasure in causing pain and killing his victims in the most painful way possible. He definitely wants to teach you how to be like him.
Akatsuki became more united when you joined and although there will always be conflicts between them, you became the missing piece. Pain would never let you leave, not when you were true peace. You're stuck with them forever.

PAC: Your Hidden Talents
Happy Holidays! Hereâs a reading on your hidden talents before the December reading đ€
Pick a pile that sparks a memory in you - it could be a person/place/music/ object etc. If more than 1 pile sparks a memory in you, pick the pile that evokes the strongest emotions in you. However, if you feel strongly for both, you may go ahead and read more than 1 pile.
As this is a general reading, do take what resonates for you and take the rest with a pinch of salt.
Warning: This reading will be rather blunt and honest. Do proceed with cautionâïž

Hi Pile 1đ
At a glance, I see that your hidden talent lies in your ability to manifest material abundance. I would not say that this talent will bring you wealth or make you a billionaire, but youâll be able to live in comfort.
Another talent I see is the ability to know what people actually need. You have no trouble reading between the lines of what people are saying. And you also know what people truly desire - even when they do not say it.
Overall, I would say that you are happy with what you have but you also constantly desire for more. The desire for more is a fine line to being greedy. At times, you may be a little vain and ignorant of others. Maybe you are so comfortable that you often forget that there are others out there struggling to feed themselves. Remember to be thankful for the abundance you have and be more sensitive to people less fortunate out there.
Summary
Your hidden talents: manifest abundance, read between the lines, know what people trule desire
To take note: be less ignorant, be more sensitive to others

Hello Pile 2 âïž
Welcome to your reading.
Your hidden talent lies in your luck. You are who is quite lucky in general. Even if youâre not, you somehow always get what you want - especially if itâs something you care about.
You are likely somebody who thinks youâre just an ordinary guy/girl-next-door, but I would say that you often avoid the worst of outcomes. There are people who are lucky in material abundance, or lucky with people, but you are someone who is lucky in situations. You are likely to come out unharmed during a disease outbreak (covid, perhaps?). And you are likely to have experienced multiple âblessings in disguiseâ where you thought you lost a job offer - but in reality you avoided being a victim of a job scam.
Despite your lucky talent, I feel that you tend to act without deliberation. Sometimes, you just want instant results but do not care to read and think through properly. I advice you to calm down and think through before following through what you do. Your luck may bring you to greater heights when it does not need to save you from your carelessness.
Summary
Your hiddent talent: luck, able to avoid unfortunate situations
To take note: think before acting, be less impulsive

Hey Pile 3 đž
Your hidden talents are stability and intelligence. You are someone grounded who prefers simple stability than risky wealth. You are someone who gains more living honestly than taking big gambles. You have likely felt the burn when you took a risk in the past. Feeling comfortable and stable is a talent that many do not have, given how numerous people may have acquired wealth but feel like they can topple over like a house of cards.
Pile 3, you are also someone deeply intelligent. You are often able to make sound and wise decisions to protect your stability. Even if you think otherwise of your smarts, people around you have definitely noticed it.
Something to note will be your high chance of singlehood. Your talent for stability and intelligence will likely bring you wealth, however, potential partners may feel threatened by it. They likely feel inadequate or out of your league when they compare themselves to you - although you have never said anything to make them feel this way. My advice will be to expand your social circle and befriend those who would not feel threatened by your accomplishments.
Summary
Your hidden talent: stability, intelligence
To take note: singlehood, people feeling threatened by your wealth/accomplishments, expand your social network

Hi Pile 4 đč
Right off the bat, I see that youâre a multi-talented pile.
You have a natural talent of seeing through people. You do not let appearances fool you and youâre able to hear the bullshit from peopleâs words. You are able to see people for what they are and will not let others convince you otherwise.
Another talent you have is related to beauty or the arts. Some of you in this pile have the gift of beauty - you may be blessed with good physical appearance. For others, beauty means having a knack for fashion or makeup. For those blessed with the arts, you could be an artist if any form - visual arts, handicrafts, music, perfumery etc. I see that you have at least 3 forms of talent mentioned above.
One more talent you carry is not fearing the unknown. Humans are usually afraid to venture into places that others have not set foot into. However, that does not apply for you. Instead, you welcome the unknown and whatever else it brings along. This can make people steer away from you as it can make you seem unpredictable and volatile.
With so many talents, people tend to be wary of you and some may even try to talk you down. Do not let the negativity affect you. My advice is to filter through who you befriend as those who are accepting of you will not be threatened by your many talents.
Summary
Your hidden talent: ability to see through people, beauty, the arts, not fearing the unknown
To take note: may appear volatile to people when you welcome the unknown too much, do not let what others think weigh you down

Floris Baratheon is annoyingly pretty.
Even more so now that sheâs this close; seated across from you at brunch. Floris and her sisters went to school with you when you were younger; youâd been in the same grade as her older sister Maris. You were never close. When it became clear her family was supporting Aegon over Rhaenyra, you made it your mission to find out everything worth knowing about them.Â
Floris motherfucking Baratheon.Â
She bats her lashes at Aemond as he holds his brotherâs attention in polite quiet conversation. Easily the prettiest of her sisters so it is wasnât surprising that Aemond had chosen her as his prize. Though to be frank, youâd never thought of Aemond as shallow. He hardly dated at all.Â
Aegon had arrived late the previous night, setting off the alarms of Summerhall as he fell into the swimming pool. A fabulous start to the day.Â
Floris had arrived the evening after you and Aemondâs most recent rendezvous. Sheâd squealed like an excited teenager, throwing her arms around Aemond, her heels lifting off of the ground as she peppered light kisses across his face. Her presence had been a thorn in your side ever since.Â
A family outing had been Alicentâs idea. The restaurant was Rhaenyraâs choosing; an intimate little rooftop brunch spot. Youâd all gotten there early to avoid the sweltering midday sun.Â
You glance over your shoulder at the table behind you where Rhaenyra is seated, flanked by Daemon and Joffrey. Alicent and her father sit across from them, both tight lipped. Daemon is lost in his menu, the corner of his mouth curling into a sneer as he murmurs something to Rhaenyra. The table appears quiet, with no polite conversation. Though Joffrey is seated beside his mother, it feels very much as though youâd been seated at the kidâs table.Â
âWerenât you supposed to bring someone?â Helaena asks, glancing at Aegon out of the corner of her eye as she pours over the menu. âI thought you were seeing that Lannister girl.â
You turn away from the grown-ups' table, reaching for your wine. You declined the complimentary mimosas, as did Aegon. He swirls his glass of scotch in his hand, the ice cube clinking against the sides. Nothing like hard liquor at 11 am.Â
âSheâs not coming,â Aegon answers.
âNot coming?âÂ
Aegon merely shrugs, tapping his finger against the glass, âWe had a fight.â
Helaena quirks a brow at that, pursing her lips as she sets her menu on the table.
âA fight?â
âYes. A disagreement.â
âAbout what?â
Aegon groans, leaning back in his chair as a waitress walks by. His eyes rake over her figure so quickly you almost miss it. Aegonâs been perving for years and heâs mastered his technique. Your stomach sours and you roll your eyes. Jace reaches over to you, placing his hand on top of yours giving it a comforting squeeze.Â
âLoyalties. I kissed someone else and she wasnât happy.â Aegon tells his sister. His playful frown suggests heâs unbothered by her reaction to his infidelity. Â
Of all the Targaryens, you think you hate Aegon the most.You glance at Aemond and find him already looking at you.
Well, maybe not the most.Â
âHow dreadful. Youâll cause a scandal, Iâm sure,â Helaena muses.Â
âNo oneâs paying much attention to me. Nothing to worry about,â Aegon says, plucking a piece of bread from the basket in front of him, âEveryoneâs more concerned about Maegor With Tits.â He holds the bread against his chest for crude emphasis.Â
âHush,â Helaena snaps, always the quickest of her siblings to defend her half-sister.Â
Helaena and Aegon quarrel like lovers. Itâs unsettling.Â
Aemond is still watching you, even though youâve looked away. Youâre trying to control the small smirk that plays on your lips. You know why heâs staring.Â
It wasnât as though you were trying to get him to look at you, but you had opted for a more revealing dress than you usually would for a family outing. Jaceâs eyes had widened considerably as youâd smoothed the small scrap of silk into place that morning.
âYou look incredible,â heâd said, hand on your hip, eyes following the fabric that stopped just below the curve of your ass, leaving no amount of leg to the imagination.
You glance at Aemond, meeting his hungry gaze. Heâs awfully fun to play with. Itâs been so boring the past few days ever since Florisâ arrival. Sheâd been stuck to Aemondâs side like a pretty little leech the entire time.Â
âSo, Floris,â you say, placing your wine glass on the table, âWeâve been living in the same house for three days now and I feel like I donât know anything about you. Tell me about yourself.â Itâs a command more than a request.
Aemond keeps his eye focused on you, the heat of his glare burning into your face. Helaena raises a brow as Jace and Aegon begin talking to one another, oblivious. Helaena has always been the most observant. Floris smiles kindly, not sensing the tension that rolls off your shoulders. Itâs the first time youâve attempted to speak to her.Â
âOh ... .wellâŠ,â she glances at Aemond though he says nothing, âWhat would you like to know?â
A smile dances across your lips. This should be fun.
âI canât remember for the life of me where you studied. Which university did you graduate from again?â you ask, cocking your head to the side, âWas it Harvard or Yale? I always confuse the East Coast ivies.â You laugh breathlessly, shaking your head.Â
Florisâ eyelashes flutter; a nervous tell. She smiles with a sigh, clearly not used to the spotlight directed at her.Â
âOh well I think youâre thinking of my sister Maris,â she answers, cheeks turning a rosy hue of pink. You knew that, obviously. If Aemond wanted intellectually stimulating conversation, heâd have chosen her as his arm candy. âBut Iâm planning on going back and getting my degree at some point. Iâm really interested in botanyââ
âBotany! Ha! That was my minor in university,â Helaena chimes in. Florisâ eyes light up, thankful Helaena has joined the conversation. âThatâs ratherââ
âFlowers?â you interrupt and Florisâ smile falters ever so slightly as her blue eyes return to you.
Unlucky for her, youâve never been one to give up easily. You reach for your glass, holding it lazily between your fingers. Smiling tightly and tilting your head to the side, you continue your advances.Â
âYeah,â Floris shakily answers, âI meanâŠI donât know. I havenât really made up my miââ
âHave you read any good books recently?â you ask, taking a sip of wine. You watch Aemond begin to tap his fingers against the table out of the corner of your eye.
âOh um, not really,â Floris answers, âIâm not much of a reader.â
You flick an eyebrow up at that, glancing at Aemond. His pale blue eye holds your gaze, nostrils flaring. Interesting. Aegon and Jace have paused their side conversation.
âOh?â
The table is silent. Itâs like watching a cat play with a mouse. Aemondâs knuckles blanche as he curls his fingers in toward his palm. A waitress walks by, absentmindedly refilling the sweating glasses of water that line the table. Aemond says nothing; he doesnât jump to his girlfriendâs defense.
Doesnât look away from you.Â
Floris wets her lips, smiling politely up at the waitress as she refills her cup. She pauses for a moment, nervously sipping her water. Sheâs about three mimosas in; youâre sure the alcohol is working in your favor. A layer of nervous sweat covers her brow.Â
âI mean, I havenât reallyââ
âWhat about current events?â you continue to steamroll her, âAemond loves staying up to date he must be driving you crazy with all that. Especially with what's been going on recently in the Riverlands.â
âOh, well Iâm not really sureââ
âOh you arenât?â you ask in mock confusion, over dramatically pouting, âHmph. I assumed youâd be interested in his work. I mean as Aemondâs girlfriend and allââ
âOh well, thatâs actually a great segway,â Floris interrupts, her voice shriller than before, as if sheâs trying to regain control of the conversation.
You take another sip from your glass, allowing her interruption. Youâre enjoying her distressed state. A smile curves at the edge of your lips and you attempt to hide it behind your glass.Â
âWeâve just been having the loveliest time together, havenât we?â Floris says, pressing her hand against Aemondâs shoulder.
He makes a soft noise of approval and you fight the urge to roll your eyes. You catch his gaze again, the conversation fading into white noise.Â
Does Floris know sheâs been sleeping on the bed he ruined you on? Your cheeks grow hot. Just a few nights ago youâd been tied to the rails of their headboard. Guilt stabs you in the gut but you choose to ignore the uncomfortable feeling. Floris Baratheon means nothing to you. Sheâd do the same to you in a heartbeat. Thereâs no playing fair in these circles.Â
ââyou see we decided to get engaged!â
You choke on your wine, sputtering, and coughing. Droplets of wine stain the white tablecloth like little pink raindrops. Jace rubs a comforting hand on your back.Â
âAre you alright?â he asks, eyebrows furrowed with concern.
âSloppy girl you got there, Jacey,â Aegon snickers.Â
âIâm fine,â you manage in a hoarse voice, âJust went down the wrong way, thatâs all.â You can feel droplets of wine running down your chin, onto your neck, and down between your breasts.
Aegon raises his eyebrows, an amused smile on his face as his eyes shamelessly follow the river flowing down your chest. You wipe your chin as you stand from your chair, the legs scraping harshly against the wooden floor.
âIâll just go freshen up,â you tell everyone. Your throat tightens uncomfortably.Â
âDâyou want me to come with you?â Jace asks, rising halfway from his chair, his brown eyes wide.
âNo, Iâm fine,â you insist, pressing your hand against his shoulder until he sits back down, âIâll be right back.â
You donât look at Aemond, nor anyone else as you hurry past Rhaenyraâs table and between other patrons towards the restroom. Hurrying down the hallway and slamming the door shut behind you, you take a deep breath gazing at yourself in the mirror. Your eyes are wide and bloodshot from your coughing fit, and your chest is shiny and sticky from the wine.Â
âSeven fucking hells,â you grumble, grabbing one of the provided towels and wetting it in the sink. Cleaning yourself up, you try to stop your hands from shaking.Â
Engaged.Â
You shake your head, fixing your hair, trying to rid yourself of the thought.
Heâs fucking engaged.
Sleeping with Aemond Targaryen when he has a âgirlfriendâ is one thing. But fiancee? The thought makes your stomach tighten. Well, it shouldnât mean anything. You didnât care then. You shouldnât care now. You meet your eyes in the mirror, your stomach flipping unpleasantly. You shouldnât care. Your lower lip trembles, nails digging into the soft flesh of your palms.
Seven hells.
âWhat are you doing?â you whisper.
What have you been doing? You have a boyfriend. He has a fiancee. You press your hand against your forehead, breathing deeply as your heart thrums against your ribs. A wife practically. Gods if this got out. You donât even want to think about it. Rhaenyraâs campaign would be jeopardized. Everything youâve worked for. Youâve been so incredibly reckless.Â
This has to end.Â
The door opens and youâre torn from your thoughts as Aemond enters the bathroom, shutting the door behind him. Of course, he followed you. You glare at him through the mirror.
âOut.â
âLet me explainââ
âGet out Aemond,â you demand, drying your hands, not turning to face him.
âI meant what I said,â he continues, taking a step forward, âItâs an arrangement thatâs all, a publicity stuntââ
âA publicity stunt? Youâre getting married,â you hiss, throwing the towel against the counter, meeting his eyes through the mirror once more. It feels hauntingly familiar, looking at him like this; the last time he was buried to the hilt inside of you. âGet. Out.â
âIt doesnât change anything,â he insists.
You laugh bitterly, finally turning to face him. Heâs standing inches away from you, so close you can smell the intoxicating scent of his cologne. It makes your head spin. Shit. Stay focused.
âDoesnât change anything?â you repeat, âSheâs going to be your wife.â
âDonât be such a child,â he snaps, causing you to flinch, âYou know how this works. People are paired off together all the time.â He takes a step forward and you back up, your ass nudging against the edge of the sink. âWhat did you think was going to happen, hm?â He steps even closer, his body completely caging you against the counter.
Aemond places his hands on either side of you. Heâs not wrong. You know how this world works. Families align with each other all the time through relationships and marriages. Itâs as if theyâre frozen in time using betrothals for political gain.Â
Just look at Rhaenyra and Laenor Velaryon. Their marriage was anything but a loving one. Her children are proof of that, clearly fathered by someone else. You remembered watching them arrive when you were in grade school; exiting the black limousine and not realizing who they were. Their father was rumored to be the head of the Secret Service at the time, Harwin Strong, though this was never confirmed.Â
âItâs not like Jace is going to let you go,â he murmurs, hands inching closer to your waist, âOr have you not thought that far ahead?â
His hands come to rest on your hips and he chuckles softly at the sound this elicits from you.
âYouâre in too deep,â he says, nose brushing against your cheek. His minty breath wafts over your face. One hand remains on your waist, the other trailing up the side of your ribs. Goosebumps bloom on your arms as he reaches your face.
âItâs for the election,â you whisper.
âThe waterâs over your head,â he murmurs, his hand caressing your cheek, âIf you think itâll end there, youâre not as smart as I thought you were. Youâre drowning.â
You swallow, lips parting to give him another snide remark, but he doesnât let you; the hand that cradles the side of your face pulls you forward and presses your lips to his. You push against his firm chest, disconnecting your lips with a wet pop. Your hand reaches toward your face, your fingertips pressing against your tingling lips.
âYouâre getting marriedââ
âAnd youâre fucking jealous,â he snarls, bringing his face inches away from yours. You suck in a surprised breath, cheeks warming as his lips curl into that familiar smug smirk, âWorried Floris is getting what youâve been missing?â
Humiliation makes your skin prickle; the hair on the back of your neck stands on end. Your fingers fall from your lips.
âFuck you,â you hiss from between clenched teeth, âI donât care.â
You try to push by him but his hands plant themselves on your middle, holding you firmly in front of him. His hands slide down your waist, cupping the globes of your ass. A disapproving whine leaves your lips as he squeezes the soft flesh harshly, lifting you onto the counter. Your fists beat against his chest and he grabs your wrists.
âYou care,â he insists, pressing a kiss against the side of your neck as you twist an arm from his grip to shove him, âOtherwise you wouldnât be behaving like a spoiled brat in front of everyone.â His lips press against your throat with every word he speaks.Â
One of his large hands moves up your back winding in your hair and tugging your head backwards. Your forearm presses against his shoulder attempting to push him away. Aemond hums appreciatively against your throat, pressing another soft kiss against it. Your breathing hitches as he continues to kiss your neck, warm desire pooling in your belly. You stop pushing, curling your hand into the fabric of his shirt instead, pulling him closer.Â
âItâs been three days,â he murmurs, continuing his exploration up your neck with his lips, nipping and sucking at the smooth skin, âThree days without this cock is driving you crazy, huh?â
âAemond,â you try to snap at him but itâs dangerously close to a moan, âTheyâll be waiting for usââ Youâre silenced by his fingers thrusting through your parted lips, pressing down against your tongue.Â
âShhh,â he hushes in a condescending tone, âI think that pretty mouth has said enough, donât you agree?â You watch him with wide eyes as he presses further down your throat until the tips of his fingers reach the rough surface of the back of your tongue causing you to gag. He moves his fingers back.
âCâmon, you can do better than that,â he scolds, tapping your cheek with his other hand. His eyes narrow as he presses his fingers further down your throat once more. Your throat constricts and you claw at his bicep, fighting the urge to gag again. You hollow your cheeks, sucking his three fingers in your mouth. âThere she is. Thatâs much betterâ thereâs a good girl, thatâs it.â
He removes his soaked fingers, a line of saliva still connected to your lips. Gasping for breath you feel him part your legs, his hand sneaking under your dress. You can feel his cool, wet fingers against your inner thighs.Â
âAemââ
âWhat did I say?â His words are clipped and irritated. His fingers graze against your clothed center, pressing lightly against your soaked center. You can feel how much you want him. How right he was about the jealousy that burns in your belly. Youâre sure he can feel it too.
A muffled whine leaves your lips as his fingers pull your panties to the side, parting your silky wet folds. Youâre embarrassingly wet already. Aemond chuckles darkly, fingers dipping against your entrance and gathering some of your arousal before circling your clit.
âYouâre begging to get fucked, you know that?â he asks, his voice husky and strained, âWalking around here looking like this.â The hand in your hair tightens and pinpricks of pleasure sting your scalp. âNeedy. Little. Slut.â His fingers pinch your clit on the last word and you cry out.
Aemond slams his lips against yours to silence your cry and you hook a leg around his slim waist, heel digging into his lower back pulling him closer. He kisses you feverishly like he means to devour you. Itâs sloppy and his teeth scrape against your lip but you donât care. Itâs been days without him speaking to you, let alone touching you. Youâve felt like you were going crazy.
Not that you were about to admit that to him.
Your breathing is turning to pants as he continues to kiss you, fingers circling your bud with determined precision. Your eyebrows scrunch together as the current of pleasure in your abdomen winds tighter, and your toes begin to curl. You whine against his mouth and he shushes you once more.
âShut the fuck up,â he growls through an open-mouthed kiss, his tongue forcing its way into your mouth.Â
You accept it greedily and your limbs turn to jelly when he licks at the roof of your mouth. One hand clings to his bicep, nails digging into the hardened muscle while the other winds around his neck and tangles in his hair. His hand dips lower, two fingers stretching inside of your warm waiting pussy.Â
âThatâs it,â he murmurs as you shudder at the stretch, âFucking câmon thenââ his fingers crook upwards pressing against the spongy section of your walls that has your back arching, and black spots dancing across your vision.
âGodsââ you whine, clenching around his digits as his thumb presses against your clit. His fingers are longer and thicker than your own; youâd indulged yourself several times the past few days but masturbation was nothing compared to the pleasure Aemond is able to give you.Â
âThis is all you needed, huh?â he asks, steadily beginning to finger you, focusing all his attention on caressing your sweet spot. âOh yeah. Youâre so much happier with my fingers buried inside this tight little cunt, huh?â Your face flushes as he speaks to you. Every stroke of his fingers sends waves of pleasure washing over you. Your jaw slacks, eyes squeezing shut. Every nerve ending in your body is singing as he pushes you closer and closer to the edge.Â
âYou want my mouth on this sweet little pussy?â he asks gruffly, his face pressed against yours, âTell me how badly you want it. Câmon. Tell me.â The squelching sound of his fingers is borderline pornographic in the small space.
âYes!â you wail.
âBeg me,â his voice is rough, the commanding tone causing your walls to spasm around his lengthy digits.Â
âPlease,â you whine, tears pricking at the corner of your eyes. He knows your body so well. Too damn well. Every curl of his fingers incessantly bullies against your sweet spot. You can feel your walls pulsating around his fingers, squeezing him tighter and tighter and tighter.Â
âPlease what, baby?â
Your teeth are clenched together, and a whimper gets caught in your throat. Your eyes roll back in your skull as he slows his pace stroking just right. Your head tilts back gently tapping against the mirror, mouth hanging open in bliss as you try to find the words.Â
âPleaseâplease I need your mouthââ
âYeah?â he says, an amused, open-mouthed grin slashed across his face, âWhere?â
Seven hells heâs relentless. You bite your lip hard enough to draw blood, your heel presses against his buttock, your back arching off the counter desperately grinding against his hand for more friction. Gods youâre practically fucking yourself on his hand your hips rutting against his palm.
âPlease! Please on my pusââ Your sentence dies as Aemond kneels in front of you. âAemondâoh god,â you moan as he presses his face against you, one hand holding your panties to the side, as his tongue slides over your aching clit.
âSince you begged,â he murmurs, suckling your clit between his lips and sucking; tongue lavishing the sensitive button with even strokes.
His tongue is deliciously warm and firm, tracing little circles around your clit and making your mind go blank, the last few moments forgotten. His fingers stroke the rough patch at the front of your sensitive walls and he presses against it with brutal determination.Â
Your thighs shake around his head, fingers tangling in his hair as the pressure in your belly builds, winding tighter and tighter until at last white-hot pleasure bursts through you; your muscles go taut and you cry out, slamming the back of your hand against your mouth to stifle the noise as you release barrels through you.Â
He fucks you through it, a low rumble of appreciation bursting through his chest as the wet, sucking sound of his fingers grows louder with your release. The pleasure is almost too much; it ignites you completely.Â
A rush of air enters the small space and your head snaps up. Aemond is quick to stand, mouth falling away from you and your release fizzles out.Â
Daemon leans against the doorframe, a knowing smirk on his face as he purses his lips. His eyes follow the length of Aemondâs arm down to where it disappears still beneath your dress. Aemondâs fingers slip out of your pussy, the soaked digits dragging a wet path down against your inner thighs leaving you despairingly empty.
âCarry on,â Daemon murmurs, letting the door close behind him as he exits.
Blood rushes in your ears and the room begins to spin. Itâs like Daemon took all the air in the room with him. Black spots appear in your vision.Â
âFuck,â youâre nearly panting, âOh godsââ Your mind is beginning to spiral, the high of pleasure leaving your limbs. âShit,â you breathe, fixing your panties, hopping off of the counter, ââfuck.â
Aemond reaches for the sink, and he turns it on calmly, beginning to wash his hands.Â
âRelax.â
âRelax?â
He shuts off the faucet, drying his hands as he faces you.
âHeâs not going to sayââ
âAemond,â you stop him, holding your hand up, âJust donât.â
Fixing yourself quickly, Aemond stands in stony silence as you open the door and flee the bathroom. You return to the table, not looking at anyone. Sitting beside Jace you reach for your wine, downing the rest of it, trying to ignore the ache between your legs.Â
Aemond rejoins a moment later, reclaiming his seat next to Floris. She holds out the menu, pointing at something trying to show him. It takes him a moment to get back into character. You watch him blink before slinging an arm over the back of her chair and leaning into her, seemingly very interested in what sheâs showing him.Â
You place your glass on the table, your leg bouncing uncontrollably. Helaena watches you, lilac eyes narrowed. Turning away from her scrutinizing gaze you subtly glance at Rhaenyraâs table.
Daemon meets your eyes, raising his glass to salute you.
Fuck.
You forgo dinner later that day, claiming the sun has gone to your head. Hiding beneath the silk sheets of you and Jaceâs bed seems like a much better way to spend the evening. You try to busy yourself on your phone but your thoughts keep going back to Daemon. The smirk he wore, the look in his eyes.
Caught you.
Your stomach turns and suddenly the blue light is making you feel nauseous and you throw your phone across the room. The sun bleeds orange tendrils of light across the floor as it lowers over the horizon, the hours ticking by as you lay in silence.Â
The door creaks open when the room is shrouded in darkness. The mattress dips as Jace sits, placing a comforting hand on your back.
âHey,â he says softly, rubbing slow circles over the covers, âHowâre you feeling?â
âMiserable,â you answer truthfully.
âIâm sorry baby,â he murmurs, âDo you want me to stay?â
âNo,â you tell him, âIâm sure thereâs something planned, you should join them.â
âItâs just a movie,â he tells you, âJoffrey picked it. Some crazy action film.â
âCharming,â you grumble as he places a kiss on the top of your head.
âCan I bring you something later?â he asks, and you donât answer, âGet some rest.â
He gently closes the door as he leaves and the nausea comes back. You donât deserve him. Jace knows, youâre sure of it. He knows thereâs someone else. Heâs just too nice to say anything.Â
Whether he knows itâs Aemond youâve been sleeping with is a different story.
It should make you feel worse than it does.Â
You sit up, throwing off the covers suddenly very hot. You canât sit in this room anymore, canât lie down and sulk. Itâs driving you up a wall, making you want to crawl out of your skin. You need fresh air. Rising from the bed, you throw on a pair of shorts and a simple t-shirt along with some flip-flops.Â
The hallway is quiet when you enter; everyone must still be in the theater room or have gone to bed. You quickly pad down the stairs, the sound of your flip-flops echoing through the grand entryway as they slap against the marble staircase. Heading through the spacious kitchen you open the sliding glass doors and head out the back towards the pool.Â
You see him as soon as you step onto the patio. Heâs standing at the far end of the pool, a lit cigarette dangling from his perfect mouth. He glances at you, the cherry red tip pointed in your direction. Heâs taken his hair down, the silver waves ripple over his shoulders.Â
The pool is filled with lights dancing on the blue surface; little lotus flowers holding candles. A basket of beach towels sits next to the door and you grab one. Aemond watches your movements as you walk along the side of the pool coming closer to him.
âWhat are you doing?â you ask, watching him crush the cigarette under his shoe.
âCouldnât sleep.â
âDidnât know you smoked.â
âOnly during times of stress.â
You nod, clicking your tongue against the roof of your mouth. You donât ask him to follow you, but he does all the same as you continue to walk the edge of the pool until you reach the beginning of the yard. You walk on the grass until you reach the dimly lit cobblestone path youâd seen during the tour of Summerhall house Alicent had given the day youâd arrived. Fairy lights have been strung along the railing that leads down to a small private beach giving the path a feeling of perpetual summer. Aemondâs footsteps echo behind you sounding heavier than your own.Â
As you arrive at the end of the steps you remove your shoes. Your feet sink into the sand, cooler now with the blazing summer sun not hanging overhead.Â
âYou shouldnât swim at night,â Aemond comments.
âIâm not going to swim,â you tell him, placing your shoes on the last step, âAre you coming?â
Aemond hums, hesitating for a moment as he holds your gaze. He truly looks ethereal with the moonlight casting shadows along the angles of his face. That chiseled jaw, those striking cheekbones. His prominent long nose. He could have gone into modeling if not politics, that youâre sure of.Â
You walk side by side further down the beach before you spread the towel and sit on top of it. You pat the spot beside you and he accepts the silent invitation to sit. For a moment neither of you speak, staring out at the waves that gently lap against the shore. The lights of the city are visible from here, just shiny little stars sparkling against the horizon.Â
You can feel his gaze shift as he looks at you. What was it he said to you a few days ago?
You canât fool me.
âI can speak to Daemon,â Aemond says softly, âMake sure he doesnâtâŠâ
âDonât bother,â you cut him off, âYou and I are a ticking time bomb. It could have been anyone walking in on us.â
At least it was Daemon. If he releases it, heâll spin it to make Aemond look like the sleaze; cheating on poor, doe-eyed Floris Baratheon. You donât even want to think about the possibility of Otto or Alicent walking in on you.Â
Itâs always easier to scandalize women.Â
If Daemon spoke to Rhaenyra, sheâd make him leave your name out of it. Nameless, faceless. Just some girl. Curiosity gnaws at you.Â
âWhy wouldnât you say something?â you ask him suddenly, âYou could get on top of this before Daemon goes to the press. Heâll ruin you with this.â
âIâm not worried,â Aemond responds coolly, âIâm not scared of a little scandal.â
You think back to the stories youâd heard about him. The dutiful son with his sprinkle of bad decisions. Aemond cleans up his messes, unlike his elder.Â
âI suppose your family is very protective of your reputation,â you agree, tucking your knees against your chest.
âYou donât have that sort of protection,â he says softly.
Itâs true. The Targaryen and Hightower names are like royalty compared to everyone else. Sucking your lower lip between your teeth, you slowly shake your head.Â
âNo,â you agree, âI donât.â
âIâm not going to say anything,â he clarifies, âI expect Aegon to win this campaign without the additional nonsense.â
You snort out a laugh. Even now he canât help but try and push your buttons. Itâs inevitable, the two of you. Always trying to one-up one another.Â
âYeah okay. Well, weâll see about that. Besides, Rhaenyraâs numbers have increased steadily since the debate,â you tell him, bumping your shoulder against his. The small contact leaves a burning feeling where your skin meets his.Â
âDonât count your eggs before they hatch,â he softly teases.
âI know my chickens.â
Aemond frowns, giving you a quizzical look. âThatâs not a saying.â
âSays who?â you ask, arching a brow at him.Â
This is easy, this is good. Just banter. Just Aemond versus you. Itâs much more simple when youâre on opposite sides of the playing field.Â
âSurely someone,â he says leaning back against his hands.
The waves crash loudly against the rocks and seafoam sizzles against the sand. The moonlight reflects off of the top of the surf sending a silver trail down the middle of the water, splitting it neatly in two.Â
âWhy?â you softly ask, tapping your fingers against your calves.
âWhy what?â Aemond asks.
âWhy arenât you going to say anything?â
Aemond stares at you, his gaze burning into the side of your face until you canât stand it. Turning your head, you meet his heated gaze.Â
âYou know why.â
Your head tilts to the side, eyes not leaving his. âThatâs a problem.â
âIt doesnât have to be,â Aemond insists, âIf weâre careful.â Aemond wets his lips, âWhat do you want?â
Your heart is beating so fast against your ribs it's almost painful. You place your palms against the towel, pushing against it trying to ground yourself.Â
âThisâŠâ you struggle to find the words, opting for another shake of your head, âThis will never work. You and I; we hate each other.â
âYes,â Aemond agrees, his hand moving on top of yours.
âAnd youâre engaged,â you continue as his fingers lace through yours. Oh gods. There it is. That ache deep inside of you; a bottomless pit of want that threatens to swallow you whole.Â
âIâm engaged,â he agrees, reaching over to stroke your cheek, âAnd youâre with Jace.â
His thumb strokes your cheekbone, hand cradling your jaw. The action is affectionate and caring. Itâs so tender, so endearing you almost burst into tears.Â
âIâm with Jace,â itâs barely a whisper, âIâm withââ You donât get a chance to finish. His mouth is on yours before Jaceâs name leaves your lips. Thereâs only Aemond.
You fall into the familiar rhythm quickly as he climbs on top of you, kissing you all the while. The sounds of the waves are deafening, matching the beating of your heart, of blood rushing in your ears. Itâs too much and not enough at the same time. You want to lose yourself in the sound, in the feeling of him on top of you, pressing against you. Heâs everything. Heâs all-consuming.Â
Itâs too late for anything else.Â
Youâve already been devoured.Â
The heat of the morning sun wakes you, a light sheen of sweat covering you. The side of your face itches and you bring a hand to it, brushing away some sand. Sand sticks to your legs and arms. Aemond lays beside you on his back, an arm thrown over his eye to block the sun.Â
âWe fell asleep,â you tell him, squinting at the rising sunlight.
Whirl. Click!
A noise startles you. Must be the birds. Pushing yourself into a seated position, you brush some sand from your arm. Aemond turns onto his side, throwing an arm lazily over your outstretched legs. His hand curls against the meat of your thigh causing you to chuckle.
âSomeoneâs needy,â you tease, combing some hair from his face.Â
He growls his eye remaining shut, but the corner of his mouth quirks in a smile.
Whirl. Click! Whirl.
Craning your neck, you raise your arms above your head, yawning as you stretch. A sliver of flesh is exposed as you do so, and Aemond reaches his hand to grasp your waist, tugging you closer. You definitely shouldnât have fallen asleep. Jace is probably worried sick. You pat your shorts. Shit. Youâd left your phone as well.
âTheyâll be looking for us,â you tell him, attempting to escape his grasp.
âLet them look,â he says, voice rough with sleep, as he pulls you close, pressing a sloppy kiss to your lips.
Click!
You turn. Thereâs that noise again. As your ears adjust, youâre less sure that itâs simply the sounds of the birds rustling in their nests. The waves crash against the rocks, and you look over the dunes as the sea breeze rustles through them.
There it is.Â
A photographer, laying on his belly in the dunes, camera held at the ready. Whirl. Click! Your heart drops into your stomach. Youâre going to be sick, for real this time.Â
You should have known.
Pushing away from Aemond, you pull your shirt down, dusting off the remaining sand.
âYouâre a real fucking asshole,â you hiss, pulling the towel out from under him.Â
Aemond frowns at the sudden change, watching as you shake the towel out before chucking it in his direction. He catches it, leaning back slightly, surprised at the force of your throw.
âWhat?â Aemond says, face a mask of confusion.
âShame I wasnât in some skimpy suit, bet the press would have a field day putting those photos side by side with you and Floris,â you tell him scoffing, âI shouldâve fucking known better.â
He calls your name. You donât turn back, shielding your face as you hear the click of the camera once more attempting to save whatever dignity you have left. You can hear Aemond struggle to sand as you move toward the stairs, slipping on your shoes. His hand wraps around your forearm as you begin to climb them, halting your steps.Â
âThis was not me,â he insists, âLook, Stormâs End yes, I did that but I had nothing to do with thisââ
âI am such a fucking idiot,â you snap, ignoring him.
âI swear it-â You tug your arm away from his grasp, his expression crestfallen.
âI donât even know why Iâm surprised,â you tell him, laughing bitterly, âLike I didnât know who I was dealing with.â
Aemondâs lips part, but he says nothing. You open your mouth to speak again.
Click! Whirl. Click!
âFucking hells,â you mumble, turning away and running up the steps back towards the main house.Â
Tears stream down your face, hot and wet as you continue to climb. Theyâve already got their money shot. You wonât give them one of you crying as well.

rockstar idol gf with jungwon đ€đ
As someone whoâs doing a music major anything to do with being a rockstar is just mwah đđ€ so Iâll write a little Drabble of rockstar!reader x fan!wonie, also if you want to I linked some song suggestions for this at the bottom <3
^^ NSFW UNDER CUT, MINORS DNI (not proofread yet)
SYNOPSIS: During your performance at the biggest venue of your career you couldnât help but search for the boy with a pair of cat-like eyes that managed to steal your attention even in an ocean of others people.
WARNINGS: slight power imbalance, sub!jungwon x dom!fem reader, oral (fem receiving), riding, cursing, handjob, mentions of the names: good boy and baby, love bites (fem reviving + thighs), unprotected sex (pls use protection), breeding, kinda cringe. If I missed anything please tell me <3
WC: 2k
Read under cut
Being an artist was always something you yearned, having crowds sing your songs and looking at the adoration in the eyes of the ones that looked up to you like you once did to the ones you idolised. You had the privilege of standing all mighty and tall on the stage to take in the beautiful sight of your biggest venue yet. Ten thousand people in the room, ten thousand people serenading you, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine people whose lives had been changed because of you and yet one person in that room changed yours.
Out of all the people there, no one caught you eye as much as he did. Love at first sight wasnr something you necessarily believed in especially with the fact you never felt a strong attraction to another person, you imagined the feeling of falling in love and how it must be truly magical when it happens for the first time and now that itâs finally happened you knew your hypothesis of the feeling was true.
You were persistent on having him and no one else.
The stubbornness of wanting him lead you to giving him his own backstage pass where you could finally meet him and see him face to face. You waited and conversed with the other fans that were blessed with your presence until the room was empty with just your staff and friends. The feeling of embarrassment and disappointment crept upon you until your body tingled with what you could only explain as your spidey senses tingling- you felt a presence behind you only to see the same cat like eyes staring back at you. He walked past you with the utmost confidence and a smile on his face. He said âhiâ and just like that you both connected and got lost into each otherâs world.
You didnât realise you two were talking for about 2 hours until you got scolded for not even changing out of you performance clothes, not wanting to leave him hanging you slid him your hotel keycard hoping youâd see him later in a more private place to âtalkâ more.
â
Now that you were in your room you finally had time to yourself to repost the posts and stories you were mentioned in before a knock on the door distracted you from your fan service. Expecting it to be your manager you quickly threw on a robe to cover up that youâre only wearing your underwear and tank top. Opening the door you found yourself smiling at the pleasant surprise,
âHeyâ the stranger said scratching his neck avoiding your eye contact as hard as he could, âI hope Iâm not intruding or anything-â
âNo youâre all good donât worry!â Your voice interrupted him before he could overthink his own presence. Once you let him inside your room you both exhaled a breath you didnât realise you held in.
As he sat down giving you a funny look but remaining quiet. It seemed awkward enough so you decided to start some small talk to cut the tension.
âSo, I know we talked for an hour but I donât think you ever told me your nameâ you admitted, he hesitated before answering feeling a bit flustered that his favourite musician showed interest in him after brushing it off as him just being delulu,
âOh Iâm Jungwon, Yang Jungwon but you can call me won or anything I donât mindâ jungwon rambled finally looking up at your concentrated gaze.
âYou have a really pretty name Jungwonâ his name sounded smooth in your voice, satisfyingly rolling off your tongue like butter. Jungwon swore heâs never heard someone say his name so perfectly- it made him stomach churn.
âHas anyone told you how beautiful your eyes are?â You looked him up and down mentally noting how he played with his rings and looked away when heâs shy or flustered, it made you feel sick at how heâs doing the bare minimum but itâs still enough to make you feral.
âI hear it quite often actually, thank youâ his politeness covered up for all the thoughts he had of how the the night was gonna go. The way you laughed put his mind at ease knowing you actually enjoyed his company. As you closed the door and sat on the bed you noticed his face turn away as a small scoff left his lips as you accidentally exposed yourself to him forgetting you were braless only in a small tank top and underwear. You felt embarrassed noticing how Won shifted uncomfortably on your sheets until you saw the real reason behind his discomfort. The poor boy was harder than a rock as his erection bulged proudly in his pants. He was such a pretty boy you wouldnât mind indulging with him for a night or two since the sight of his hardened crotch made you subconsciously squeeze your legs.
It took every ounce of willpower to suppress your desire to fuck him on the spot but a lustful need consumed you. The idea of sex is exciting but you didnât want to seem shallow and give jungwon the wrong idea of you only inviting him for s good quick fuck before you return to planning your next album, thatâs not what you wanted at all. After talking for a couple hours with Won you actually felt interested and decided you wanted to know him more.
âItâs Uhm- itâs kinda late and I should get goingâ his nervous voice trembled trying to discreetly hide his hard on but you didnât want to let him go,
âStay, please?â You didnât want to let the desperation to echo in your tone but you pathetically pleaded for him to stay.
He must have noticed your increasing lust for him so he came and sat closer than before, dropping his hand on your knee, his erection got noticeably bigger leaving nothing for you to fantasize about.
âLet me help you out Wonnieâ your hand travelled up his thigh until it was dangerously close to his dick.
âJust tell me what you want and Iâll give it to youâ he couldnât hold back a moan as your fingers grazed his crotch. He put his head down ashamed for letting himself act so impulsively.
âCan I taste you?â He buckled his hips into your touch letting you feel his rock hard bulge,
âI need you to touch meâ After touching his groin area a couple times to tease him Jungwon obliged and rubbed himself on your hand slurring out slutty curses at the friction,
âWhat do you want to taste baby?â
âPlease let me eat you outâŠâ
âThen come here babyâ Jungwon lifted his head when he felt you tug on his arm pulling him towards the edge the bed- eagerly going on his knees, fully ready to devour you.
Your jaw went weak as he began trailing kisses upon your thighs, sucking your inner thighs before getting bolder and kissing you over your panties. At first he slowly licked over the material covering your clit making sure you were comfortable with him touching you this way, tasting the wetness he caused. Once he got your full vocal consent Won placed a finger under the elastic fabric pulling your panties aside revealing your wet cunt- making his cock painfully twitch, you grew hotter under his touch allowing your moans to become louder once he dipped his tongue inside your hole, grazing against your sensitive numb with his nose. Jungwons breath hitched when you pulled on his hair finding out he found the pain erotically pleasurable.
âI want you inside me" you confessed as Jungwon lapped his tongue between your folds eating you like a starved man, the poor boy couldnât wait any longer to ease the burden of his boner- taking pleasure just from tasting your sweet juices. His soft mewls filled your ears as he inserted his fingers to thrust into your pussy and taking a break from eating you out to breathe and leave tiny nibbles on your inner thighs. Finally getting up he noticed you shifting your attention to his needs, you pulled down his pants and underwear all in one go letting his cock spring out showing you the impressive length with precum leaking out from his pulsating red tip.
You cupped your hand around his girth gently caressing it with your thumb giving him goosebumps as you stroked up and down on his dick enjoying the power you possess over him. He closed his eyes tightly, biting his lip praying he wonât cum instantly.
You saw this a chance to get the upper hand by pushing him down to where you were before but this time laying him down on your messy sheets, you sped up your movements whilst tugging on his balls making him give out the most beautiful and throaty moans.
Jungwon loved every moment you took control over him- the way you managed to control his senses sent shockwaves throughout his body. Jungwon gasped out loud as you ran your fingers over his tip, pinching it ever so slightly.
"Please donât tease Iâll be good" Jungwon almost shout begged thirsting his hips up into your palm,
"Beg for me" his pleading look drove you wild making you go faster and harder,
"Y-yes, please I'll do anything just let me fuck you!" He hyperventilated, serenading you with his filthy and desperate whimpers. Sensing heâs getting close Jungwon squirmed underneath you begging to have you fuck yourself and use him like a toy. You instantly let him go leaving jungwon to sulk at his ruined orgasm .Your hand travelled up his chest to his face softly caressing his cheek while staring him straight in the eye before sinking down on his cock, you smiled before whispering,
"Don't worry I'm not done with you yet." Feeling the painful stretch as you fully sat on his dick.
Jungwons eyes rolled back into the back of his head at the sensation of your warm and wet pussy gripping his dick. This is the closest to heaven he's been. Your breathing becomes rapid; he has an immediate sense that something is about to happen and his heart was racing thinking about how soon it will end, it just felt too good. But you surprisingly started going slower, grinding yourself back and forward riding him like a cowgirlleaving Jungwon desperate for more. You increased your speed again, barely managing to keep both yourself and him contained without busting. His eyes wide open and fixed on yours he begged for you to use him.
âDo you think youâre a good boy wonnie?â
âYes! I swear Iâm a good boyâ he chanted
âDo you think you deserve to cum inside me?â You stupidly didnât mind wether he came inside you or not since you were on the pill end he seemed like he was clean,
âOh my god please can I cum inside youâ won choked out feeling the same gut tightening fireworks in his abdomen. With only a few more bounces you let go, clenching down Jungwons hot throbbing cock until he spurted out all his load filling you up and making you reach your orgasm at the feelings of being filled up. You both collapsed onto the bed panting out of sheer exhaustion and mind numbing pleasure. You only secured your want for him hoping this isnât the last time you see him.
â
âYouâre so cuteâ you pecked his cheek resting your hand on his face before pulling back and placing a real and gentle kiss on his lips.
âYou did so well for me tooâ you let out a genuine small laugh at the way he scrunched up his flustered face,
âWas this just a one time thing?â He asked hoping that his heart wouldnât get broken by a one night stand,
âI hope not, I could get used to you mr Yangâ
With those words Jungwon held you tighter wanting you to know he agreed with you, a weird but wonderful feeling crept up from the pit of his stomach finally acknowledging he bagged his celebrity crush.
A/N: idk how to feel about this, it took days to finish writing since Iâm busy with college and work so I wonât be posting a lot but I hope you liked it <3

II. Predator or Prey?
CH 8 (6.6k) | The Night You Left |
Joel barely sleeps, tossing and turning in his bed with his clothes on, knuckles bloody and burning, throat raw from screaming. He wakes up to hushed whispers outside his door and he throws it open, inexplicably hoping to see you out there. Instead he sees a sea of terrified faces, Sasha tucking Beth behind her, Tess peering out from the bathroom with Rosie holding a cold cloth over her swollen face. Kerri is further down the hall, sweeping up chunks of drywall and dust on the floor from the holes heâd punched into the wall hours earlier.Â
He looks back towards Tess. Fuck. She looks awful, already two swollen black eyes and a split lip. What kind of a monster does that to someone?Â
âTess, Iââ
âIâll be alright Joel,â she reassures. âWhy donât you head over to the baths and get cleaned up?â
She knows he canât be seen in the state heâs in. What would people think? Theyâd think heâd fuckinâ lost it is what theyâd think. And theyâd be right.
Joel heads to the old plaza, a ten minute walk down the street and around the corner, to the old salon now serving as the town bath house. This early in the morning he knows no one is going to be here so he lets himself in through the back door. He checks the tank of the townâs only working hot water heater and begins to fill one of the stock tank tubs, shucking his clothes off and climbing in. The water stings his raw knuckles as he scrubs at his body, washing away bits of dusty drywall and blood â his or Tessâ, he canât tell.
Fuck, he fucked up. He shouldnât have reacted like that. He shouldnât have done that to Tess. This is what you fucking do to him, this is the effect you have on him. You bring out the worst in him. All you ever did was distract him, tempt him, tease him, and reject him. He saved your life, fed you, clothed you, protected you, and put a roof over your head. And how did you repay him?
Resentment. Neglect. Defiance. Abandonment.
What did he even see in you? He thought you were brave, but you were so soft on the inside. He thought you were smart, but he watched you act like such a fucking fool. He thought you were beautiful, but you wouldnât even let him say it. He thought you were wild, but he tamed you so easily. He was wrong about you. He tells himself that heâs glad youâre gone and that heâs better off without you around anyway.
â
The first Thursday without you, Joel takes Beth to the meeting, despite complaining that heâd rather go alone. Beth had already gotten to work making clothes and this would be a good opportunity for her to give some out to the families that lived further out of town, at least thatâs what Tess had said. Heâd never admit it, but he held his breath when a group of people led by the tall and imposing Hank walked in the room, someone else trailing just behind. Several people shifted and Joel saw it was just Hankâs little girl, blushing bright red when she caught him looking at her.Â
Shit. Heâs not sure why he let himself think it might be you. Hank hadnât brought you to the church meeting on Sunday so why did he let that tightness grow in his stomach thinking heâd bring you to the Thursday meetings the way he used to bring Beth? Whatever. He doesnât even want to see you. He continues to be in a foul mood all week and despite pleading with Tess for forgiveness â which she gives him â all the women in the house seem to avoid him.
The second Thursday he notices Hankâs young daughter, whoâd introduced herself several times as Amber, following his every move, watching him, sitting next to him, hanging on his every word with rapt attention. The little girl must have a crush. How inconvenient. But wait, he might be able to use this to his advantage. Heâd noticed you ducking behind Hankâs oversized frame at church the past Sunday, avoiding him like the plague, and decided he was going to give you a taste of your own medicine.Â
Fuck you, you little ingrate, heâs gonna ignore the shit out of you right back.
He purposely avoided looking in your direction during his speech and sat with his back to you during dinner. He made sure to act like the perfect leader, loving and gentle, graciously accepting peopleâs well wishes for Tessâ illness â the cover-up for why sheâd been in the house for over a week while her face healed up. Within earshot of you he gives attention to every other female Valley member, even going so far as to bring people into his embrace, hugging them tight.Â
Heâs like an oily politician â kissing babies and shaking hands â but he hopes you see it all. He hopes you feel sick over it, feel jealous, feel regret. He hopes you feel the loneliness rotting in your gut like he does. But how will he know? How will he know if he canât see you, canât talk to you? He needs access to you, someone for you to confide in, someone on the inside. Little Amber will do nicely.Â
He strikes up a conversation with her, bumping up the charm to an eleven. He opens with some mildly flirtatious banter, asks some questions about her â women love that shit â before getting to the point.
âHear you got a new roommate over there,â he postures casually.
âYeah, sheâs great,â Amber beams.
âShe is?â
âOhâ ummm,â her brow furrows. âIsnât she?â
âI donât know,â he chuckles, âYou tell me.â
âSheâs alright, yeah⊠I mean, sheâ sheâs fine.â
âWell you should let me know if she does anything to bother you.â His voice is smooth and buttery.
âI should?â
âWell yeah,â Joel touches his hand briefly to her chin, âI gotta make sure youâre happy, donât I?âÂ
âOh,â she giggles, face flushing immediately.
âSo make sure you tell me whatâs goinâ on, okay?â
âYeah I will,â she tries to suppress her smile. âIâ I definitely will.â
âAnything at all, even if you think it might not be important.â He makes sure sheâs looking at him and drops his voice an octave. âAnything at all, okay, sweetheart?â He winks to seal the deal.
It was almost too easy, turning little Amber into his own private mole. Every Thursday he gave her a couple minutes of attention and she folded, playing right into his hand and spilling everything you two had talked about over the past week. She told him where you went, what you did, who you talked to, and even what anyone else in the house said about you. Apparently Hankâs wife was missing Beth and Joel briefly thinks of telling Tess to make a switch back, but then gets angry at you again and changes his mind.
You donât deserve his forgiveness, youâre not missing him enough, not even close to being as miserable as you could be. Amber had told him that youâd cried yourself to sleep almost every night the first week but then the other day after the church meeting heâd watched you hunch down behind little Amber â barely five feet tall â trying to hide from him. Your stubborn pride is gonna make it even more satisfying when you come crawling back to him, begging him to let you come back home.
Amber tells him when youâve stopped crying at night but says you still spend a lot of time on your own, wandering the edges of the property. She catches you up in the hayloft all the time, or napping with the baby goats. She says you donât spend any time with Danny or Diego, the ranch hands, so he resists his urges to take them by the collar and threaten to bury them alive if they so much as look at you.
â
Joel woke up in the mornings feeling empty, like his chest had been broken open and hollowed out, all of his internal organs scooped onto the ground. The only thing that remained inside him was a deep-seated ache. He tried to soothe it with conversation but Tess didnât want to hear it, kept telling him itâs better this way and to move on. He tried to temper his loneliness with touch, but when he reached for Sashaâs hand after dinner one night she ripped it out of his grip. One evening, in a particularly weak moment, he nuzzled into Kerriâs neck while she was washing dishes, her hands occupied and covered in suds.Â
âOh,â she squeaked, startled by his touch.
âHey,â he said, muffled against her skin, twitching under the brush of his beard.
âIâm not reallyââ she started.
He didnât let her finish. He was out of the room before she could even finish her sentence. How fucking pathetic was he? He didnât even want her â not really â and she couldnât even stand to be touched by him. This is what youâve done to him, this is what youâve made him. Heâs been ruined by you.
When it's been just over a month since you left, things at the house finally get back to a sense of normalcy again. For a while, Tess was the only one speaking to him, and besides the Thursday meetings Beth was assigned to accompany him to, she avoided him like the plague. Kerri wouldnât meet his eyes, Rosie shuffled away from him whenever he entered a room, and Sasha gave him dirty looks every time she passed him in the halls. But with time, things were improving. There was a low hum of conversations around the dinner table now â none of them involving him â but at least everyone else was happy.
The following Sunday Amber traps him in a corner and starts saying shit about coming to live with him. He has no idea where she got this idea in her head but she keeps trying to touch the buttons on his shirt and heâs doing everything in his power not to swat her little fucking hands away. He sees Tess giving him a look and he knows. He knows he needs to get away from her, that people can see him, that people will talk. What if you see him? Youâre never gonna come back home if you think heâs messing around with this annoying child. He has to stop using her for information, he has to cut her off.
The following Thursday marks the end of February and Amberâs reports have gotten brief and repetitive. Walks alone along the pastures, always has her nose in a book at bedtime, late to every meal (much to her motherâs chagrin). She tells him that you only leave the farm on Sundays for church and on Wednesdays for your bath, having to settle for a weekly wash at the Covered Bridge Inn another mile down the road with some of the other farming families. He bets youâre missing your three soaks a week since you left town.
Joel decides to cut Amber off then and there, sheâs not giving him anything he doesnât already know and he needs more, he wants more. He needs to fill that emptiness inside him and youâre the only thing that can make him feel whole again. Heâs barely looked at you in weeks, always avoiding watching you directly, not wanting to give you the satisfaction of thinking he gives a fuck. He doesnât, not really. He just wants to soothe the hole you left. He convinces himself he just needs a taste, just needs a peek. He just needs to see if youâre missing him, to make sure youâre suffering the way he is, the way you should be. He wants to see it for himself. Then he can get over you â move on â like Tess says he should.
He waits until the following Wednesday and makes a trip out to the Mansfieldâs farm when he knows youâll be gone for your bath. Only Hank remains on the farm to greet him but is honored and excited by Joelâs presence. Joel makes up something about wanting to visit Hank because of how much he respects all of his hard work, but asks Hank to not spread the word lest the other farmers be jealous. Hank nods in agreement as he shows Joel around the property and then welcomes him into his humble home.
When Joel excuses himself to use the bathroom he takes a walk around the upstairs, checking each bedroom to find yours, recognizing it when he sees one of your old shirts on the bed. He lifts your pillow to his face, huffing in your familiar scent. Under your pillow is a book, paperback cover worn and tattered, Of Mice and Men by John Steinback. Joel stuffs it in his waistband and pulls his shirt back down, heading back downstairs to tell Hank he should get going.
Thereâs no mention of his visit by his little spy the next night so, he assumes Hank kept it a secret and you were none the wiser. He wants to go to the farm again, he wants to have another piece of you. Just one more taste, just one more. He waits until late in the day on the following Wednesday and, avoiding traps he and his patrols helped set, he rides out and sneaks onto the property from the neighboring fields. Hank is working out in the far pasture and doesnât even notice Joelâs surreptitious arrival.
The house is unlocked and he goes straight to your room, this time laying down in your bed, letting himself soak in the scent of you wafting off the sheets. He thinks of you crawling in the bed every night at the end of a long day working your ass off on this farm, a big change from the cushy life you had back home. He knows you only get a bath once a week here, and he can smell your scent on the sheets strongly. He smells sweat, dirt, farm animals, and a trace of tangy milk. You must change the sheets when you get back from your bath. This must be the most pungent they smell all week.
He grabs his dick overtop his pants, he can feel it already hard and aching at the thought of you. He wishes he had more time to lie here, to really be able to enjoy himself, but he made up an excuse to Tess and sheâll be suspicious if heâs gone too long. He takes his hand away from the front of his pants and instead grabs your pillow, throwing it over his face to breathe it in a final time. He gets up, adjusting himself, and takes a step towards the door before he doubles back and snatches your pillowcase off the pillow, stuffing it down the front of his shirt.
â
Heâs panting slightly as he makes his way in the back door of his house, having had to jog from the stables, cutting through the town park so heâd be back before Tess started wondering where he was. Kerri gives him a sideways glance and an empty smile, quickly turning her head back to her meal preparation. Tess and Sasha come up from the basement holding jars of preserved vegetables.Â
âWhere you been?â Tess asks.
âI told you,â he tries to stifle his heavy breathing. âI had to help Peter out with his solar panel issue.â
âBut Peterâs wife Georgia just came by here not even ten minutes ago and asked how you were doinâ,â she says, looking confused.
âYeah well it wasnât at his house,â Joel thinks quickly. âHeâs been tryinâ to get it fixed up for little old Miss Betty, outâ umm⊠over there by the woods.â He picked the most remote, home-bound person he could think of, hoping it would cover his ass.
âOh, she needs power? For what?â she asks, setting down the jars on the counter with Sasha, not giving Joel her full attention anymore. He uses the opportunity to move out of the kitchen towards his office.
âI dunno, just helpinâ out Peter,â he says and then ducks out of the room before she can question him further.Â
Once he closes his office door he pulls out your pillowcase from under his shirt and balls it up to his face, sniffing it more. He sticks it in the bottom desk drawer under the maps, where he keeps your lost pair of underwear, your rejected christmas gift, and the book he took from under your pillow on his previous visit. Something scratches at him from deep inside, something that might resemble guilt. He shakes it off. He has nothing to feel guilty for. If you want underwear, books, or your pillowcase so bad you can come back home and have them.Â
â
He canât even wait until next Wednesday to go over to the farm. Sunday morning rolls around â heâs spent all weekend planning this moment â and he gives a well-rehearsed speech to Tess about being sick. He doubles over in his bed and clutches his middle, groaning until her face softens and she puts the back of her hand to his forehead the way his mom used to. She brings him some water and rice and tells him to get some rest before heading to the services with everyone else in the house.
Once heâs left alone he jumps out of bed, throwing the covers off like a child on Christmas morning. He knew that if he went to church heâd be able to see you, maybe fill a little bit of his craving. But since he doesnât really look at you, how much of you can he actually see? Knowing that Hank would bring your entire household to the service meant the farmhouse would be empty. He can sneak over there while everyone is preoccupied and have his fill of your scent, of the ghost of your presence. He needs this, he tells himself, he needs a little bit more before he stops, before he gets over you.
He doesnât want to take a horse this time, wants to leave no trace of where heâs going or risk anyone seeing him riding out. Most of the town is at the church service but he wants to be extra cautious. He heads out the back door and ducks into the trees beyond the yard, making the long way around the populated square to hit the fence-line. He finds a well-worn path through two fence sections and, avoiding the traps he knows are there, darts south towards the farm.Â
Joelâs knees are aching by the time he hits Hankâs property, heart pounding and feet throbbing, having set a brutal pace to make the trip in just about thirty minutes. His chest is heaving to catch his breath as he crosses over the creek and walks up the small hill to the old farmhouse standing like a silent monument above the pastures.
He takes his time on this visit, going through your side of the dresser, recognizing the clothes you had before, touching the fabric with his fingers that he would feel beneath his touch whenever he held you in the mornings. He looks in the closet â mostly Amberâs clothes â but sees a nice dress in there he assumes Hank intended for you to wear to church. Joelâs never seen you in a dress, maybe no one here has either, since youâve certainly never worn this one.Â
He takes off his clothes and climbs in your bed, lying face flat on your pillow, and smells you. Not your soap or shampoo, but you, the real you. The you he used to smell when you were at home, when you were in his arms, when you were his. Before you left him, before you broke him, before he was empty. He slowly humps against the bed â his cock rubbing the worn, softened sheets â and thinks of you.Â
He imagines you coming back and catching him, throwing your arms and legs around him, crying how much you miss him and kissing him until he agrees to take you home. His come spills on your sheets and he throws the blanket back over top, leaving the mess for you to find. Part of him hopes you know it was him. He puts half his clothes on and then begins to get sleepy, having stayed up half the night going over and over in his head his plans for today. He lies down on top of the bed just to rest his eyes for a moment.
He doesnât hear the horses pull up with the wagon outside, or the door opening and people entering the house downstairs. He doesnât hear anything until thereâs footsteps on the stairs coming towards where heâs still half naked and just awake. Shit. He jumps up and grabs the rest of his clothes off the floor, kicking his boots under your bed and jumping in the closet just as Amber bursts in the room, humming a hymn and babbling about how she wants to make soup to send to him. You hum in assent but otherwise say nothing.
He wishes he could see you, but heâs pushed himself into the closet and to the side as much as possible. He is half-covered by a mothball-smelling crocheted cardigan and a mildew-smelling old raincoat. He hears the soft sounds of fabric and the wooden creak of dresser drawers, then you both silently shuffle out of the room and down the stairs. He waits a long time until he's sure the coast is clear and manages to get himself dressed, pull on his shoes, and make it downstairs.Â
He hides in a closet for several hours, hearing Amber and her mother all around the first floor, cleaning and cooking and gossipping to each other. Where are you? Are you in the hayloft like Amber said you like to be? Are you feeding goats or milking cows? He wants to see you but he knows he has to go, knows heâs stayed too long. Everyone has been back at his house for hours and Tess will most definitely be wondering where the fuck he went to.Â
Itâs mid-afternoon by now and he knows he canât waste anymore time. He ducks out of the closet and runs for the closest patch of trees as quickly as he can. As soon as heâs in the cover of the woods he starts thinking of the shit show heâs gonna walk into. Tess is gonna give him the third degree. He left no note, no indication of where he would be. What excuse is he even gonna give? He played sick so convincingly and now what is he gonna do? What can he tell her that will be believable?Â
His mind is racing with a hundred different thoughts and heâs trying to ignore the sting of the cold air in his lungs and the burning of his thighs as he presses forward up another hill. Heâs sure thatâs why he misses the trap. Because he knows where they all are, he helped set almost every single one. He has a map in his office with all of them marked off, directs the patrols to check and maintain them. He knows better. But heâs distracted. Youâve distracted him. This is all your fault. Thatâs all he can think as he feels the trap clamping over his ankle and the biting pain shooting up his leg. This is all your fuckinâ fault.
Joel loses his balance quickly as the counterweight trips and yanks his leg out from under him. He sees the whole world flip and feels the fire of tearing flesh licking up his leg. He comes to rest with his shoulders on the ground, his head brushing against the fallen leaves, but the lower half of his body lifted up in the air, strung up in the tree by his ankle. Shit, this is a good trap, he was so proud when he thought of it and now he can confirm that itâs quite debilitating and extremely painful.Â
â
The sun has started setting when Joel hears a single step behind him and he whips his head around, facing a lone figure, light hair braided over her shoulder, pack on her back stuffed full. Sasha.
âHey honey⊠I didnât hear ya coming,â he groans, shifting uncomfortably.
âYeah, Joel,â she looks him over quickly, âThatâs kinda the point.â
She opens her mouth to ask a question â probably something akin to what the fuck are you doing out here â but then she looks southward, towards the still-visible fields of the dairy farm, and back at him. She closes her mouth, deciding not to ask something she already knows the answer to. Instead she looks him up and down, taking in the scene in the fading light.
âYou uhh⊠you want me to get you down from there?â
âWell whatâs the alternative, honey?â He motions around. âYou gonna leave me here?â
âI couldâŠâ her face remains impassive, considering her options, âBut Tess would probably miss you.â
Joel lets out a huff and gives her a partial smile, itâs as much as he can manage having been stuck like this for far too long. Sasha throws her pack down and fishes some bolt cutters out of the back, reaching them above Joelâs ankle and cutting a chain link rather easily. Joel's body unceremoniously slams down to the forest floor, knocking the wind out of his lungs.
âJesus Christ, Joel,â she mutters, kneeling down to check him over. âWhatâd you think was gonna happen when I cut it?â
âI dunno honey but Iâm not a fuckinâ gymnast. Iâve been hanginâ upside-down for hours, so Iâm kinda at the whim of gravity right now.
âWell twinkle toes, good thing youâre not training for the olympics, because your leg looks absolutely fucked. We need to get you to the clinic ASAP.â
Yeah yeah yeah Joel grumbles, grunting and groaning as Sasha helps him to his feet, leaning into his side so she can support his weight on his bad side.
âIs your horse nearby?â
âDidnât bring a horse,â he sighs.
âJoel, weâre still over a mile away from home and your legââ
âWell we better get going then, huh?â
âBut, Joelââ
âTimeâs a wastinâ honey, letâs go.â
â
By the time the doctor finishes wrapping Joelâs ankle, he can already see the blood seeping through the bottom layers of the bandages. Sheâs given him some expired meds for the pain that are managing to take the edge off, but heâs still extremely uncomfortable. Heâs not gonna tell her that though.
âIâm gonna need to see you tomorrow to clean and redress this wound.â
âI can come by afterââ
âNo,â she interrupts. âNo, Joel, Iâll make a house call, you shouldnât be walking on this at all. This needs to be elevated so the swelling can go down.â She wraps the second layer tighter and Joel bites back a noise. She notices. âThatâs why itâs leaking like this, you didnât elevate it,â she scolds, and then murmurs under her breath, âAnd you walked a mile on it.â
âWell I knew you made house calls but I didnât think youâd make middle-of-the-forest calls.â
She makes a noise that sounds like hmmm, and grabs another roll of gauze to keep wrapping around. Heâs not sure if she bought his story, that he and Sasha were scavenging together and he wasnât looking where he was going, but she removed the trap from his ankle and gave him a tetanus shot and some antibiotics. He didnât even realize she had all of that here but she opened a locked cabinet and there was a secret stash of medicines, just waiting for him.
Since he was hanging upside-down he didnât lose much blood and the doctor told him she doubts thereâs a broken bone, given that the trap clamped down above the ankle bones and more into the meat of his leg. She is worried about infection, of course, and said that the way it pulled on his leg could take a while for the muscles to heal. How long did Sasha leave you hanging there she kept asking and he kept explaining that theyâd split up to cover more ground, and sheâd found him when he missed their meet-up time.
âI think thatâs enough, Doc, quit fussinâ over me,â he tells her as he shifts on the bed to get up. âGet Sasha for me and Iâll head home, and donât worry, Iâll keep it elevated.â
âSasha left after she dropped you off Joel,â she leans back and points to the doorway, where one of the clinic staff has rolled in a rusted wheelchair. âWeâre gonna take you.â
âIâm not getting in that thing.â
âOh cut it out, you already got your tetanus shot.â
â
He gets out of the chair and stumbles up the front steps, forbidding them from helping him through the door and promising to elevate his leg and keep it that way, trying to keep his voice in a whisper and not disturb the house. He hops inside and his fears are immediately realized when he sees Tess waiting for him at the dining room table. Their eyes meet and they stare at each other in silence for a long while before she rises out of her chair and points to an empty one.
âIâll get you some ice,â she says, walking into the kitchen.
Joel sits in the chair and Tess comes back in, motioning for him to put his leg up on the bench next to him, setting a cloth ice pack gently on his injured leg. She slowly sits down and resumes looking at him. A long silence passes between them.
âYou gonna make me ask?â
âAsk what?â he says casually, then she pins him with a look and he drops all pretense, shrugging his shoulders. âIâm sure Sasha already told you.â
âShe didnât tell me why.â
âWhy? You already know that too.â
âI know you were out there at the farm, Joel, sneakinâ around, messinâ with her stuff, fuckinâ with her head, I donât know what all you get up to. But why, Joel? Why?â
âWhat do you care, anyway?â
âWhy canât you leave her alone?â she hisses
âWhy is that any of your fuckinâ business?â
Tess slams her hand down on the table and hisses, âYou made it my business when you brought her into my house.â
âYour house, is it?â
âYouâre goddamn right itâs my house, and I take care of everyone in it. I sent her to the farm to get some relief from you and your behavior, and you canât show one ounce of self control? Who the fuck are you?â
âI donât thinkââ
âNo, youâre not thinkinâ, thatâs the problem,â she interrupts. Heâs stunned into silence. âIâve taken a lotta shit in my life, Joel, and Iâll keep taking it if itâs for the greater good. Iâve followed you around for years and Iâm loyal, but I ainât stupid. I see you slipping. Everyone does. Everything Iâve done for you, everything Iâve sacrificed for you⊠you gotta play your role.â
âIâm tired of it,â he whispers.
âYouâre not tired of everything it gets you.â
He grumbles at that and mutters something like it doesnât get me what I really want, and she knows he means you. She knows he still wants you, even when he pretends like he doesnât. She sees the way he purposely avoids you and looks the other way when you come near. Itâs all bullshit bravado, and she fuckinâ knows it. She knows heâs sad, lonely, heartbroken without you. But she needs him to either put up or shut up. Admit it or move on. She canât have him stuck in this loop of destruction.
âLeave her be, Joel. Itâs done with her, itâs over.â
â
Two weeks go by in a blur, Joel doesnât sneak away to the farm, he avoids Amber at the Thursday meetings, he steers clear of you at the Sunday service. He goes where Tess tells him to go, meets with who she tells him to meet with. His leg heals well and heâs back on his feet much sooner than the doctor expected him to be. He spends his days working with the gardeners in town to get ready for spring planting, and the evenings working in his office to schedule patrols and plan maintenance for sections of the perimeter fencing.Â
He keeps his head down and keeps his mind occupied. He starts to feel better, and then heâll lie in bed at night and heâll hear the door to the tiny room across the hall close and remember youâre not there. It cuts like a knife in his hollow chest, the slow thumping of his heart echoing in its empty chamber. He feels bad for going the whole day without missing you and his stomach gets tied up in knots over everything that happened.Â
He tries so hard not to think of you, to keep his mind busy with anything else⊠until he canât. Until everyone stands up as he introduces Biancaâs baby to the community and then everyone sits back down and there you are. Youâre standing in the middle of a pew halfway back, staring daggers through him. Looking at him like he just slapped you in the face. He canât help but look at you â for the first time in over two months â and watch you come undone.
He sees you run out of the sanctuary and only Tessâ iron grip clawing at his elbow keeps him from running after you. After the service he tells her heâll meet them in the hall for lunch and she reluctantly leaves him, mouthing behave yourself as she goes.
And then youâre in front of him again, the both of you looking into each otherâs eyes. Thereâs so much fire in yours, he hasnât seen you look like this since the first day he saw them, backed into a corner of the clinic like a trapped animal, teeth bared and ready to pounce. You start snapping at him, biting him with your words, and he canât fucking help himself. He bites at you right back. Every sharp barb of your tongue, every click of your fangs, heâs spurred on to hiss and claw in response. You call him a liar and then tell him you donât care when it couldn't be more obvious that you do.Â
Why wonât you just admit that you care? Why wonât you just admit that you miss him? Why are you so afraid of the truth?
You brush by him, purposely knocking his arm with your shoulder as you exit and when he turns to follow you he sees Tess in the doorway. She walks up to him and he doesnât even realize heâs crying until her arms close around him and heâs sobbing into her shoulder.
âShe hates me,â he heaves.
âShe doesnât hate you, Joel,â she hushes.
âShe does. She thinks that was my baby.â
âDid you tell her it wasnât?â
âNo,â he sniffles.
âWhy the fuck not?â
âCause Iâm incapable of doing the right thing. I just keep fucking up,â he sobs. âI keep doing the wrong thing every fucking time. I grab her, I hurt her, I say the wrong thing, I fuck it all up.â
âWhy do you think that is?â
âI donât fuckinâ know,â he wails.
âI do, I know why.â
âWhy then?â Joel sniffles.
âItâs easier for you to push her away than it is to let her in.âÂ
â
Joel is sitting in silence at the dinner table later that night, mindlessly picking at his plate, lost in his thoughts. The meal has long-since finished and the women are clearing the table, moving in and out of the kitchen and talking with each other. Beth is excitedly telling them about a barn cat who had kittens last year and everyone is gushing over the talk of adorable kittens.Â
Joel remembers Sarah finding two abandoned kittens after a soccer game one cloudy May afternoon, two flea-infested little rats hiding behind the practice fieldâs bathrooms. Sheâd carried them in her shirt back to him, all three of them crying, begging him to let her keep them. He said no a hundred times but still wound up driving all of them all the way across town to the only vetâs office open on a Saturday. Hundreds of dollars later they were stuffed full of medicine and food and were sleeping curled up in the crook of Sarahâs neck.Â
She told him she understood when he said they couldnât keep them forever â allergies, heâd explained â but that didnât stop big, fat tears from rolling down her face when she placed them into the arms of their new owners.
âYou did such a good job taking care of them,â heâd told her, wiping away her tears. âYou should be so proud. Look how big they got! You did that! You gave them a shot at a great life.â
âYou did it too, dad,â sheâd said, hugging him, telling him he also did a good job.
He didnât do shit, he just couldnât say no to her. And she thought he hung the moon. She thought he was some kind of a saint. Joel Miller, patron saint of disgusting, sickly little kittens. The man she thought he was⊠he could never be that man. Not then. Not now. Not after everything heâs done.
And then he realizes heâs sobbing again, at the dinner table, and everyone is staring at him.Â
âYâ You okay, Joel?â Beth asks.
âYeah,â he sniffles. âI was just⊠thinkinâ about Sarah.â
âWhoâs Sarah?â Kerri says.
âCan everyone give us a minute?â Tess says.
The room quickly clears and Joel is still sputtering and sniffling at the head of the table. Tess sits down next to him and he slides off his chair, kneeling on the floor and burying his head in her lap, tears rolling down his face and soaking her jeans. Heâs muttering I canât lose her too and sobbing and Tess thinks this might be it, he might finally be ready to face it.
âWhatâs wrong, Joel?â Tess asks gently.
âShe left me, I fucked up and she left, I donât deserve her, she hates me, Iâm a monster and she hates me and I donât do anything right and I just fail over and over and she canât stand me and all I do isââ his cries, devolve into a blubbering mess.
â
Itâs just before midnight and the house is dark and quiet. Only a lamp in the living room casts a glow on them â Tess and Joel on the couch â where theyâve been sitting and talking for hours. Heâs finally calmed down, having talked through months-worth, if not years-worth, of feelings with her. Things theyâve already talked about, things sheâs suspected but never had confirmed, and secrets theyâve kept even from each other. It felt cathartic, like a weight lifted from the both of them, and they sit in companionable silence before they head up to bed.
A loud, frantic knocking at the front door makes both of them jump. Tess goes to answer it and all Joel hears is a tandem of words, spilling out like a waterfall so quickly he can only catch some of them. Not in bed⊠looked everywhere⊠canât find... He gets up from his seat and heads to the door, freezing when he sees Danny and Diegoâs harrowed faces standing on his darkened porch.
âWâ whatâs goinâ on?â Joel asks, looking between the two men and Tess.
Tess grabs his arm, bracing him.
âShe left.â

a message from your pain
talking about suffering is hard, but ultimately necessary. welcome to this pac, I am here to shed light on your wounds in ways that are helpful. by the way, sorry if the artwork is triggering, I tried to find the perfect ones that really encapsulate what deep pain and despair feel like, but the messages might be more soothing than the pics lol.
welcome to your reading ! just wanted to say thanks in advance for stopping by đ«Ą
Pile one đ€
You're putting your sword down. Confrontation is a no no for you, isn't it? You rather die than pick up a fight again. You swallow your words, your boundaries are non existent, you're constantly on edge and anxious. Hear me out, pile one. When you're putting your sword down, you're not actually putting it down. You're shoving it right in your own stomach. I'm not telling you to become angry and start fighting everyone around you. But if you keep quiet, taking it all in, you're going to become sick. You want to keep the peace, but not your peace. You want to keep yourself small, not bothersome, for these people's comfort. If talking to the people around you is so conflict inducing, why bother having these people around at all? If your boundaries aren't heard or even allowed to be set, why bother having these people around you AT ALL? If you must live with them, consider moving somewhere more peaceful, like a family member. Take action if your words aren't welcomed. Leave. Remove yourself. Stop taking in poison, because the longer you do, the longer the healing will take. You're already feeling awful. Your suffering exist because you feel obligated to be around people who hurt you and demand you to be silent. Set yourself free. And don't try to talk to them about it. You will have to unpack all of this on your own, or with other people who will understand and hear you. Process everything you buried deep within you by journaling, speaking out loud, punching a pillow. Just let it all out. Short them you will have to slowly heal from all this crystalized, internalized abuse. Long term, recognize this pattern: whenever you feel the need to be quiet to not bother someone else, leave, and never go back to the people who did this to you.
Pile two đ€
Oh, your pile actually resonates with the pic you chosen. I see an artist, a creative or someone who does something out of the norm. You could even be a witch, like me. The thing is, you have internalized a lot of criticism, and no longer feel as passionate as you did before. You want to create and be who you were before, but you lost your drive and motivation. It seems a lot of conflict used to exist or still exists because of your hobby, career or spirituality, and you felt like it lost the point. You could've tried to prove something to these people, you could've tried to argue, and nothing worked. Even your own progress wasn't matching to your expectations. So what if they were right? Your spark died, but now that you have worked so hard, it's hard to let go. It became your personality, it used to be your comfort, but now there's only a shadow of what it used to be. I'm not going to tell you whether you keep going or not, this is your decision. But you can regain the spark if you want to. But try to protect it better this time, whatever it is that you do. Hide it, if it is possible. Avoid taking about it to people who are committed to misunderstanding you. And go backwards. Reconnect with it, by understanding what made you so fascinated and entranced by it in the beginning. Maybe, that vision is no longer appealing, and if so, create another one. Restart from scratch, but have a vision, just like you did in the beginning. Say to yourself you are committed to falling in love again with your craft, if that's what you choose. If not, it's always ok to let it go. You can always find another something to be passionate about.
Pile three đ€
Someone taught you that money was the only thing in life. That it defined your worth and value as a person. That nothing else was as important. That your safety was defined by the amount of money you had, from a young age or a very vulnerable period in your life. So your mind attached to the idea that if you didn't had money, you were in mortal danger, you were worthless and a nobody. Your relationship with money, regardless of how much you have or not, is distorted. You could be stable and still feel like it's not enough, or you could be just starting in adulthood and feeling very scared of the future. Money is important, yes. But it's exactly this fear, this pressure, this feeling like your life depends on it, it's paralyzing you, it's traumatizing and deeply agonizing. What will help you is basically lots of cbt. Ever heard of catastrophizing? Cognitive distortions? These could be playing a large role on your mindset and consequently, the amount of money you're able to make. These tools of cbt can help you relax and see things a bit more rationally. Since it's personal to each of you, I cannot fix your fears, but I can give you some of my tools for you to fix them yourself.

not yet corpses. still, we rot.
summary. you were surviving after the prison fell, whilst you felt lost deep inside of yourself. without daryl, and the others that you had lost and yet to find, everything only seemed to get worse. and all was proven when the claimers interrupted your futile attempts of avoiding nightmares
warnings. death, gore, violence, angst, fluff, smut, unprotected sex, swearing, mentions of s.a, mentions of death
notes. i changed the specification of the timeline a tiny bit, i moved the timeline of the smut into a flash back as in my head y/n and daryl would be too on guard to fuck after all that trauma. i hope you enjoy my attempt at writing your request, iâd love to know your thoughts đ€
MINORS DNI (18+), I DO NOT CONTROL YOUR CONSUMPTION ON THIS BLOG đ»
divider credits. @cafekitsune
The crickets sung as aspiring performers in the midst of the fireâs crackling, you were cold, tired and hungry, and all that you wanted to hear was the epiphany of silence. Each limb in your body ached sourly from the endless trekking that you had participated within, the chance to close your eyes and rest sounded spectacular.
But you refrained from succumbing to a fuelling slumber, for you would only be haunted by the reality of the situation that you had no home, and members of your found family were lost to the land that crawled with ravenous walkers⊠or dead.
The warmth provided from the flames was greatly appreciated by your bumpy flesh, and you stared distantly into the licking of sunset coloured mirage of the makeshift campfire. It dried the whites of your eyes to an irritating texture, however it was better than facing the truth behind the pitiful glances that the three survivors that you had structured the prison alongside donated in your direction.
You werenât looking for sorrowful attention, you just wanted to find as many of your group as you could, selfishly Daryl more than others. The plain silver band on your finger glinted from the source of radiating and manmade light, flickering your memory back to you and Daryl tying the knot in a place that you had hoped would remain secure.
If it wasnât for the Governor and his manipulated army, then it would have. You were glad they had their fates, or at least you assumed they all had considering the destruction that had been waged in the graveyard like grounds. There were countless lives that you had ensured were ended as you did your best to ensure that they would regret their life ruining choices.
The clouds grew agitatedly darker within the midnight sky above you, and to the dismay of your bodyâs survivalist needs, your shoulders shrunk from the bitter air as Rick extinguished the source of warmth. As you idly sat by, remaining in your shroud of speechless presence, Rick escorted Carl to the immobile vehicle, allowing him to sleep on the backseats for extra protection from the horrors that could possibly creep up on you in the night.
Michonne moved closer to you, placing her hand which rarely not held her executing samurai on your jacket clothed bicep, the moment was tender considering that she was doing her utmost to comfort you. âHeâs out there,â she spoke with confidence, believing each word that left her mouth. âHeâs a survivor, and he knows what heâs doing out there.â
âWe were all survivors.â It was a statement, one that caused you great misery to say. âBut in the end nobody survives, weâre all going to die one day, and some of the people out there are worse than the walkers. Thereâs no saying what has happened to the others⊠to DarylâŠâ You shook your head, trailing off into a weight of what one would describe as tranquility.
For you however, it was a reminder that in your future everything would be mute. The outbreak would demolish the remaining population of every single species, tainting them with transformative virus until the new and âimprovedâ, infinite flock of homo sapiens lay ruin and feast to anything that breathed. The world now belonged to the dead, they were suitably adapted to the unforgiving nature of the world.
Their past minds had been erased, the concepts of a once modern life vanquished as society was. There was nought memories of waiting in endless queues in supermarkets, or eating a buttered bucket of popcorn in a movie theatre. All that corrupted the simple minds of the corpses was necessity to devour anything that they envisioned as food - your mindsets were now of similar values in that slim respect.
Just thinking of your mouth being bitterly tainted with a murderous wash of irony blood revolted you; it was something that you would never swallow, literally. Ripping into human flesh with your very teeth was a repulsive reminder that one bite, or a death without a deadly pressure to the brain, would turn you into one of those monsters. You had to remain alert, despite your bodyâs almost hypnotic drowsiness to fall asleep.
At least Rick and Michonne had each other, even if they did not acknowledge the true depth of their reciprocated support. You could tell that through their reunion something had changed within their dynamic, and you missed the deep likeness of companionship that you had shared with Daryl. Often times than not, you and the southern blooded archer would be among the seemingly endless forestation that surrounded the safe homestead of the prison, tracking and hunting critters that could surpass as an edible hors d'oeuvres.
There would be bashful conversations drifting between the two of you, whether that be a suave competition of whom could catch the most lustre of nut harbouring squirrels, or- well, in simpler terms, a concoction of unholy words that would prevail when he was erratically buried inside of your cunt. Youâd go at it like rabbits in prosperous heat whilst present in the woods; the prison had no privilege of privacy since the residents of Woodbury had adjoined with the residing numbers.
And that was the thing you missed the absolute most, having your man close, in any which way. That cramped bunk within your sheet concealed cell was something youâd die for currently, you adored being pressed up against Darylâs chest, listening to his tame heart beat, as you fell tentatively asleep.
Watch was more exhausting than it appeared, with a traipse dignifying each of your steps, you rubbed your heavy eyelids, hoping to excuse the tiredness that was overwhelming your body. In your dominant hand you used your shotgun as a walking cane, forcing yourself to return to your cell that you missed dearly. It was better than falling into a shrouding slumber in the middle of the hall; that almost sounded tempting, considering you wouldnât have to move any further through the large prison, but you had more reason than a cot to sleep on calling your name.
And you saw it as you achingly slid past the hanging drape of a sheet that allowed some privacy in the individual cell that you always returned to and housed your random array of nicknacks that you had picked up on runs into permanently closed stores. Darylâs body was strewn across the thin mattress, his hand laid across his face covering his depth-full eyes, as his chest rose and fell in an irregular accordance - he was still conscious, unable to doze off into plentiful rest.
Your lips tugged in an endearing smile that he couldnât see, and you couldnât resist from creeping closer. That was all you required, to be close to him. There were only a handful of steps remaining until you got to your desired destination, and without so much of a thought, you persevered. âHey.â The tone that radiated from you was weak, throughout the daytime, your schedule had been filled with condemning tasks which were necessary to keep the smooth run of the prison a constant. Whilst you were doing your maintenance, there had been a not so big, yet not so small, hoard of walkers appear from over the horizon.
Michonne had joined you with handling their swift executions, but your shoulders ached from the striking violence, and the dragging of water caskets; the council, of which you were a part of, had decided to move them out of the sun so their contents would be of a hydrating temperature.
âYa okay sunshine?â Daryl rolled around so that he was on his side, and sat up on the edge of the bed with a crouching back so that he could view your approach of him. You came to stand between his legs, enjoying the sensation of his hands running around your hips, their warmth filling you with comfort. To lull into the atmosphere which was turning sensual, your fingers coiled in his hair, running through the locks that had grown over the months.
His nose ran softly up your stomach, as he buried his face into your form, having reciprocated your yearning for his company. With a smooth drag from his strong arms, you fell delightedly into his lap, your faces meeting in a staring match as he brushed the side of your face with his hand. âLove ya, so fuckinâ much, my stunninâ girl.â He mumbled, leading your lips to his in a slow and meaningful collision. The moment was tender, doused in every word that you were too exhausted to say aloud. You were communicating via your actions, discarding the apparel that concealed your bottom halves, giving you the opportunity to slide your cunt down on his erect cock.
You felt blissfully full, the qualms that had bent you to their will through the day slipping instantaneously away. The cupping of your palms positioned themselves on his exposed shoulders, and you ground your hips together, feeling his tip prod deep within you. Daryl shuffled back, kicking his legs out as he wrapped his arms around your frame, treating you so delicately as he fucked you from below. His lips cascaded along every inch of skin that your tank left bare, expressing his adoration for you with his lips and the little circles he drew along your hips. He could never get enough of being close to you, since the first time the two of you had shared together, he had gained more confidence with his role in the sexual situations you shared.
The breaths that huffed past your lips in attempts of being quiet were addictive to his ears, he was desperate to get an audible sound to fester out of you, but the pleasured expression that was imposed on your face was enough; he knew that he was making you feel amazing, and in these lovemaking events, that was all that mattered to him. He groaned at the thought of being somewhere private, where you could make a sound without disturbing anybody, or risking walkers stumbling upon you.
You were close, Daryl could feel it, your walls clenched uncontrollably around his length, which drove him wild, and cautiously he bucked his hips upwards a little faster, careful not to cause the bed to squeak to badly as there were people sleeping in both cells either side your own. He sat further up, his back straighter so that he could brush his teeth gently along your jaw, driving you wild as your hands drove beneath the sleeveless sides of his shirt, caressing his scarred flesh with tentativeness.
You were snapped out of your daydream in the omnipotent dark as you felt the scuffing of crinkling leaves, and before you could adjust into defensive action, there was a cold metal muzzle pressed into your muzzle, by a man with silver locks and a denim vest suited to his greedy physique. Without a doubt, these were the same men that had traipsed upon the house that you and Rick had been inhabiting whilst Michonne and Carl were strolling the streets.
They were claimers to objects they valued as things that their greed thirsted for, and you shuddered a breath as the man threatening your life steadied his grotesque arm upon your shoulder all the whilst he opened his mouth to converse impolitely. âMaybe weâll keep this one alive, sheâs a looker.â It felt as though he was bragging about the possibility to his hungry followers that you could be his property.
He recognised Rick that was for sure. Youâd been a witness to the man that had taken it upon himself to cozy his fat ass on the toilet, and the way in which his throat was denied oxygen to passage through it. You and Rick had been huddled under the bed that dipped from their pocket heavy weights as you had ran to awaken him as you were certain youâd heard something before they bustled into the once home to a stranger that was no doubt long dead. And in your escape, you had put a deadly pressure on the invaderâs throat⊠until he permanently passed out.
To exasperate your distaste for his misogynistic idea, you spat upon the ground, your nostrils flaring as you dared to spin your head back so that his gun was resting upon your forehead. If he was going to shoot, he might as well make it quick, considering you didnât intend to be alive if they had the intentions of taking sick advantage of your body.
As you prepared to retort an insult that foully would cause further trouble for you and your friends, they momentarily became distracted but still alert as a figure slunk onto the clearing. You had to allow your vision to focus, and when it did, you were shocked in the best possible way. It was Daryl, and he was certainly alive. He seemed to be acquainted with this pack of scavengers, and you realised that the ordeal in which he had went through was the only way in which he could have survived.
He didnât liken association with low lives that threatened those he cared about, however he hadnât seen their full nature until now. Daryl felt at a crossroads as he took complete acknowledgment of the weapon that was frozen against your skull; he couldnât be rash, they were a lousy, impulsive group, and he was lit with elation in every cell of his body to see that you were still breathing.
âJusâ hold up.â His gentle footsteps were slowly approaching in a careful regard as his voice strained with caution. He couldnât help but eye Joe up - he had a gun to your damn head! If he pulled that trigger⊠he wouldnât allow that bullet to be released. You were far too great a risk to have on the line, he had to settle this, like a man. Rick was squinting up at him, determining the reason for the unsurprising reaction the claimers had given his presence.
âOne of these two is the one that killed Lou so we got nothing to talk about.â The rugged, richly certain statement fled from one of the thieving men, as he had his long barrel raised, Rick being the focus on the end of his gun that had most likely been stolen in the crossfires of their apocalyptic journey. Anything was loot to them, even with their rules, they were scoundrels no doubt before the end of the world had began, and they would leave it no different. But Daryl wasnât willingly going to allow them to either kill or claim you, your worth was insanely precious, and he wouldnât allow all you had been through to be for nothing.
âThe thing about nowadays is we got nothinâ but time.â Joe said from behind you, realising that finally, Daryl had proven himself despite the cautionary warnings and delivered punishments that the archer had bore witness to, but he was just to be a loss to them if he didnât get behind the way, then he would just be an obstacle in the way. âSay your piece Daryl.â This was his final chance, but he had been given an opportunity. Joe liked to think of himself as an understanding man, there was always a reason as to why a swine didnât want to roll in the mud; his gaze noticed that your eyes didnât deter away from the redneck that was new to his ranks. There was an expression that he didnât recognise upon upon your face, but he was willing to use it for his own purposes if it came to such a crossroads.
âThese peopleâŠâ Daryl cast his eyes momentarily at you again, as though he was pleading for you to remain still and allow him to be the peacemaker. And you subtly nodded, brows drawing together as you concentrated on the group members who had taken up space in your surroundings. âYou gon let em go. These are good people.â He was attempting to find some humanity in this man who was leaning like a shadow over you, if there was any. It was the same careful traipse of dialogue that he would use with Merle when he was being inconsiderate before the outbreak, it hardly worked, his brother would laugh and call him a pussy, but Daryl had learned how to use his heart.
It was there to love, and whilst it still felt new, to be loved. These were his people, you were his person, and it was his responsibility to save you. He had tried to protect Beth, and whilst she had gotten out of that mortuary house with her life in tact despite the wave of walkers that had invaded through the front door, she still had to be alive. And so did the others, wherever in the country they were, no one was weak, each of you had your own strengths and that would get you somewhere. It had to.
âNow I-I-I think Lou would disagree with yer on that.â The grey haired man stuttered, and you werenât sure whether it was due to the lack of respect he felt from Daryl whom he had taken in as one of his own - a stray, or if he felt inferior. You supposed it was the latter, there was a continual pattern with each man that fought for power that you had noticed after your encounters. They feared any soul opposing them, it made them appear frail and insecure, just like the Governor had been with the instances involving Andrea and Michonne. âIâll of course have to speak for him anâ all because your friends here strangled him in a bathroom.â
Guilt overflowed like a faucet in your throat; you didnât regret killing âLouâ. Rick had been your supporting witness, but there were no longer court trials condemned to determine the punishments for living, instead those that thought they were in control of the passers-by that they encountered - and to them, what fit every crime was death. There was now nought reason for you to brood in your squalor, you could see Darylâs face, and if that was the last image that you had earned before the end of your life, you were glad. Though you were stubborn to go out fighting, otherwise your entire life after the prison; the tears, the passiveness, and the little amount of blood that had spilt from you would all have been for nothing.
âYou want blood, I get it.â Daryl read them, Joe had already killed one of his own men, he wouldnât hesitate when it came to a found family of strangers. They werenât good people, they were miscreants that had given him the choice to either join them on their sin induced travelling, or die. And he had been broken, lost and alone, there had been no other choice if he had the intent of surviving in order to drains you. With disregard, he threw his arms in a stance, disarming himself as his crossbow flew out of his hands, falling on the ground, showcasing that he had an offer that Joe would not justify with a refusal âTake it from me man. Come on.â
Your heart swelled, Daryl was putting his own life on the line so that he could save you and your friends. A glaze of emotion was cast over your eyes, as you tried to slow your heartbeat, if you panicked, none of you would get out of this. âThis man and woman killed our friend. You say their good people.â It was ironic, if you werenât so shocked you would have stifled a laugh. These people werenât friends, there werenât any tears for their dear Lou, no, they craved any excuse to take and take and take. The revenge they were stubborn with pursuing was only a reason to get their hands bloody, and feel powerful as they got further away from the concept of being a human. âNow that right there i-i-is a lie. Itâs a lie!â
Daryl couldnât bargain through this, they were set in stone when it came to their perception of inflicting both emotional and physical pain. With disappointed defeat, his arms flopped haplessly at his sides, as he continued to stand straight. He had to get through to them! They could budge just a little, he just had to encourage them, make them believe that letting you live was the wrong thing to do. âCâmo-â Before he could continue his pleads to be the centre of violent attention, one of the lowlife claimers wretched their foot into his stomach, causing him to wheeze uncontrollably from the harsh impact.
At the sight alone of him getting hurt, it was on instinct that you prepared to swerve into action. You had to stop this, you had to save him. Your hands scratched against the golden leaves that were all over the ground as you tried to scramble up on your feet, attempting to prevent further bruising or blood withdrawal from Darylâs body, however a sharp pain flew through your scalp. Joe had grabbed you, maintaining you as his hostage as his fingers weaved aggressively through your hair, forcing you to jut your chin out from the painful discomfort.
âTeach him fellas.â His tone was strong as he beckoned his orders, his deep, soulless eyes twitching from the agitation that had pent up within him. âTeach him all the way.â He ensured that they were aware of what he wanted, and the rest of the claimers were gratified to comply with his protocol of brutality, shoving Daryl up against the frozen vehicle, the clash of his body against it being audible from where you knelt. They threw punch after hateful punch, and Daryl struggled to maintain his stance against them; it was two against one.
âCâmere boy.â The words were growled out through the open car door, as Carl was dragged away from the hiding space. He couldnât escape, and the claimers were getting the best of your group, and they were in afraid to draw blood. A knife was held firmly against the boyâs throat, and your eyes bulged from the petrifying suspense. Tears slipped from Carlâs blue eyes that had witnessed far too much for his age, and Rick began to panic. Lori had lost her life when she was birthing Judith, who now was also somewhere in the unknown, probably dead. He wouldnât fail as a father a second time and allow his remaining child to die. âYou leave him be!â Rick bellowed, which only made the sick men chuckle at his despair as they held him down from writhing towards an escape to rescue his son.
âListen it was me! It was just me!â The words shrieked from your lips, as you felt a pool of despair puddle in your eyes. This was all because of you, perhaps if you hadnât panicked within the moment of entrapment, and you hadnât forlorn Lou to whichever afterlife lay after the present, then the claimers would have spared you, envisioning you as stragglers that had done no harm. There was a debt to be paid; a score that Joe felt he had to settle, and it was all because of your pathological actions. If anyone had to own up and pay the cost of taking the life of their adjoined associate, it should be you.
They wanted a permanent justice of a life, and you were happy enough to allow them to take it, as long as you were deemed the victim. That said however, if there was a route away from a pledged sentence, you would take it so that your entire family, including you would be spared. You just had to wait for the opportunity to present itself, and then there would be no hesitation on your part. âSee now thatâs right.â Joeâs words saturated your spine with a discerning flavour of fright, as he pushed the threatening metal harsher against the shell of your brain.
Rickâs eyes drifted in a frantic debauch between his sobbing son, who was thrashing under the weight of the gruesome man who conveyed him as nothing more than an activity; heâd enjoy watching him die; and you, whom was rigid from head to toe. His mind tried its damndest to calculate a way to save you both, youâd become like a sister to him despite the arrogance that youâd greeted him with back at the Atlanta camp, blaming him dreadfully for Merleâs captivity on that rooftop, rather than Merle and his big, loud and agonising mouth that tended to land him in a swarm of trouble. You had always been on Darylâs side, but now you shared a connection after the fleeting experiences that had doubtlessly backed you against a wall.
âThatâs not some damn lie. Look we can settle this, weâre reasonable men.â Joe reasoned with self interest and vengeance, his stone irises scouring languidly down your tense body from above, a little impressed that a woman had managed to withdraw the life of one of his boisterous comrades. His breath heaved down on you, making your skin crawl with distaste. And so he continued, making you all the more seasoned with spite. âFirst weâre gonna beat Daryl to death. Then your friend next to you. Then the other girl. Then the boy. And then we shoot you and then weâll be square.â His maniacal laugh retorted in an echo, as his words truly sunk in. There had been enough devastation, and you viewed each of those you cared for with compassion.
Carl was writhing across the golden leaves that appeared gray beneath the silver moon, leaking from his tear ducts with agonising fear. Rick was stern with his demanding pleas that did nothing but resort humour into the audience that had you at gun point. Michonne was wide eyes and prepared for any intrusion that could occur, silently realising that you would be the culprit to begin a ravenous fight. And Daryl, god Daryl was swinging his arm back as much as he was able, losing against the two men that had the delight of using him as a punching bag. You couldnât wait any longer, no one was on their way to save you, there was no other choice but try again, planning on a physical tactic this time.
âLet them go.â You hissed dangerously thro the your teeth, flickering your eyes around one last time, managing to make eye contact with Michonne, the gun against her braided head remind you that it was now or never. Joe felt hilarity from your demand, and you repeated it in an increased volume, distracting him with the sound of your voice before you threw your head back, whacking the man behind you with a mind numbing force. The bang of a bullet stirred a hazy cast across your field of vision, spiring a high pitched scream of white noise in your ears, but it was worth it. Joe had stumbled aback, the impact having arose a newfound course of adrenaline to fluster through your pumping veins.
With the rush that jolted you into a spiralling spree of sudden action, you span around, standing upon your two feet as you threw a heavy punch to your enemyâs tired face, a concerned look transpiring upon Rickâs face, as Daryl failed with unfortunate consequences to prevail in his hand to hand combat hustle. In return, you had earned a blow to the face, the force of Joeâs fist causing you to be upon the floor once again. âOh itâs gonna be so much worse now.â To support his promise, his foot met with your ribs, causing a holler and a pained gasp to escape you; there would no doubt be a bruise left if you survived this assault.
Another slap brandished your face with a stinging hue, as you stumbled up, staggering slightly as you did your best to focus on winning this physical battle. âCome on, get up! Come on, letâs see whatcha got.â He was teasing you, drowning you with anger from the mockery he betrothed you with, as a red line ran pleasantly from his nose. âCâmere!â He growled, prompting you for more, and to see his blood spill was a divine gift, even as he breathed disgustedly against you as he grabbed you by the waist, holding you in front of his body. âWhat the hell you gonna do now slut?â
There was no possibility of escaping his grip with your form alone, he was a sturdy man, albeit an evil one, but he had you in his monstrous clutch. Your brain racked with a free flow of a matching immoral high ground, and thus you thought of the walkers, and how they took life. Your noggin tossed back in a flurry of monstrosity, your teeth gnashing until they pried formlessly upon his throat, the flesh running between each porcelain tooth as you found purchase in the skin, tugging with animosity, until the torn fragment of his body was pulled away, blood spattering in a revolted spray from your mouth.
The claimer gradually fell, pausing his team from their desolate nature of commanding death as their leader met his end, laying in a lifeless pile on the ground. Michonne and Rick pursued their captorâs, sweeping their lives away in a more sophisticated fashion than you had, and Daryl gained the upper hand from your repulsive distraction. As Rick fled from where he had knelt, he sprinted to pursue Carlâs release, as you remained still, shocked with your own tactile second nature. Your face was half covered in blood, like you were a young child whom had gotten into their motherâs makeup bag, but that wasnât the reality. You shook, astounded with trauma.
Arms coiled around you, as Daryl held your crimson chin in his hand, looking lovingly at you despite the circumstances that had lead to your freedom. âSunshine.â The term was distinctly ironic, but the cigarette husk that adorned his throat remained full of love. Since the outbreak you had all had to complete extensive steps to remain breathing, and your breath stuttered as you wanted nothing more than to bury your face in your archerâs chest, but he held your head up, as he dragged the red rag from his pocket, swiping across the stain that made the rag even redder. As you looked around yourself, you saw past the massacre and felt relief.
This was home; these people, especially the one right in front of you. His hand stroked roughly against your cheek as a long, heartfelt peck was planted upon your forehead. He had found you, in this sick world that had all of you lost. You smiled at him, resting your forehead against his as you shared a harmonious breath. âIâm just happy your alive Dixie.â You tried to uplift the mood, as did Rick and Michonne, as they fussed with care over Carl. Daryl couldnât care less for the state that you were displayed in, he pulled you closer, unable to resist your lips. You shared a kiss, it was passionate and filled with circumstantial desperation, your hands pulled at his neck as you tried to get his face closer.
You could only move on from this happening, there was no dwelling. There was no guilt bore in your chest, those that tried ripping you apart deserved a worse fate, and you had only been fair since considering the consequences they had imposed on forcing you to experience. The Governor was the same, and so would the next foolish soul that failed the lengths that you would all go through to protect each other. You felt sick from the vehemence that had concurred from your body, but you had found more pieces of your familial puzzle, and you had every intention of finding the rest.

Part 4 to the fwb series.
Takes place three weeks after the last update, Eddie is finally coming to terms with what you meant to him, he and Chrissy are over for good and Eddie is sure he will never get a chance with you again...
18+, minors shoo!! A lot of angst, pining.
đ€
It has been a long three weeks since Eddie had seen you. He had a lot of chance to reflect in those three weeks, all that kept playing in his mind is you shutting the door in his face.
He had lost you. Been so sure, so stupid and unbelievably arrogant that you'd be back that he didn't fight for you, ignored any feelings that tried to break through to the surface when you were with him.
You were right he did dangle hope, he felt like a complete asshole for how he treated you. It wasn't always like that though, most of the time you and Eddie laughed a lot.
Sometimes you'd even talk for a long time... it was a world away from what it was like with Chrissy, easy and felt good, not the on and off shit and arguments that him and Chrissy had.
What a fucking idiot he was. Dustin and Steve had went through him when they found out about the two of you, berated him for being a dick to you.
He deserved every bit of their ire. Fuck, how could he ever thought you'd take him back, when all he did was hurt you every time.
Chrissy glares at him as she removes the last of the stuff from the trailer, there's not much but she's took a long time to come and collect it. Not that he blames her for that, but they've both been stupid to think this could work between them.
It felt cathartic to finally be free of the notion of him and Chrissy, if he could really be honest they both moved on a while ago, clung on to long to something attainable.
"Are you in love with that girl or something because you're frankly quite depressing Eddie" Chrissy huffs at him and gestures to the forlorn way he's been acting.
"Yeah but I fucked it all up though so it doesn't matter anymore" he sighs as he lights a cigarette.
"Wow. Sucks to be you that you fucked around and she left you high and dry huh?" Chrissy says all sweetness laced with venom and he shakes his head. Shit why did he ever think that she was sweet?
Knowing he would be subject to more barbs and shit if he stayed, he leaves to get some peace and to just be alone for a while.
...
You're here. Eddie didn't expect to see you anytime soon, thought you'd avoid him like the plague or something. The Hideout is packed and there's a great band playing but all Eddie can notice is you.
You look beautiful, a smile on your face as you chat to the guy beside you. Eddie wonders if this is the guy you went on a date with? Were you dating still? His heart clenches in his chest, like it's in a vice grip.
When you catch his eye he swiftly looks away and clumsily downs his beer. Feels his heart race when you keep looking at him.
Sink or swim Munson, you can run away or you can at least make things right and apologise. He chooses the latter and walks up to you, he's all jumbled thoughts and he's nervous as shit but he has to do this.
"Hey, I won't take up much or your time princess but I just want you to know that I know I'm a fucking idiot, I should have let you in instead of keeping you at arms length and I... I miss you sweetheart" you stare at him for a long few seconds.
"You mean you miss the sex?" you murmur quietly and he shakes his head.
"No. I mean that was mindblowing sweetheart, you know that, but it's not just that. I know I've lost you, don't deserve any less but I just wanted to say this" he feels lighter in himself but the ache in his chest feels like it's multiplied.
Even the fucking bats weren't as painful as this shit feels. He turns to leave but you stop him, gently tug him back as you slip your hand through his.
It feels so fucking right.
"Did I mean anything to you or was it just sex?" your voice shakes a little bit and he wants to assure you that you did mean something, he was just an idiot who realised it too late.
"You were more than just sex. I'm so fucking sorry that it took me so long to realise, to get my head out of my ass" he leans forward and gently kisses your forehead, smiles sadly and then leaves.
...
You still feel the pressure of Eddie's lips on your head, that soft look in his eyes when he told you that you meant something to him, that you meant more than just sex.
It's like you're on autopilot when you drive home, your friend Alex's voice a distant fog as he talks about his date from earlier in the week.
The two of you had went on a date last month but both quickly realised it wasn't going to work.
Head swimming with thoughts you drop Alex of at his flat and continue driving, straight past your house and to Eddie's trailer.
You don't know why you're here, you shouldn't be but your stupid traitor heart is egging you on.
Chrissy would be here wouldn't she? As far as you knew they were still together... At least you hadn't heard otherwise. Dustin had mentioned Chrissy leaving Eddie, but they were always on and off so you didn't really know if they were together or not.
Just as you suspect Chrissy comes out of the trailer and your heart sinks, you're ready to turn away and sigh sadly. Why did you stupidly think anything would be different.
Eddie comes out at that point and he just looks so done. It gives you pause and you watch as Chrissy piles her belongings in the car, glaring at him.
"I mean it Eddie, I'm not coming back this time" you expect Eddie to beg or something but he doesn't, just shrugs softly.
"Chrissy, I'm done. Done with this, when you leave that's it. This isn't what I want, not anymore" you feel yourself gasp and Eddie's head turns in your direction.
"Princess. What are you doing here?" flustered you walk over feeling awkward as hell. Chrissy rolls her eyes, slams the trunk of her car down hard and gets in the drivers seat.
"Congratulations' she says cooly. Gotta say I'm surprised anyone got that freak to fall in love" despite what's gone on between you and Eddie you feel ire build up inside you at her comment to him.
"Don't call him that and he's not in love with me" you shake your head at the very thought, there was no way. He would have told you.
Chrissy cocks her head then snorts, drives away and raises a finger in Eddie's direction as she does. Over the roar of the car you don't hear what Eddie is saying, just see his lips move.
"What?" you move closer to him, his expression is tender and he strokes your cheek.
"I said yes I am" he replies to you gently, the confession hangs in the air. You're stunned, definitely didn't expect it.
"Why didn't you say anything? you whimper. Fuck, all of this heartache and shit. Thinking you meant nothing to him, then he tells you this.
"I'm an idiot. Realised at the last minute, realised I was too late, you said I'd lost you sweetheart and I realised after you said it that I was in love with you"
You're shivering and it's so cold but you're desperate to hear more of what Eddie says. He notices you shaking and motions you to come inside, retrieves a thick blanket and wraps it around you.
"I don't deserve another chance, I acted like such an asshole and I'm so fucking sorry sweetheart... If you ever did by some miracle want to give me one more shot at this then I promise you I'll do better, I'll love you so fucking much, I will never be so stupid to let you go again"
His hands slip into yours and you're rife with indecision. Your heart telling you one thing while your head is saying different.
"I can't promise that I'll never be an idiot but I won't ever hurt you ever, I mean that princess" he gazes at you with such sincerity that it takes your breath away.
"What if I suggested a coffee date or even just seeing a movie? Stopping over for some of Wayne's amazing mac and cheese?" you suggest, thinking of small ideas, something slow and easy at first.
Eddie's eyes light up. "Anything, anything you want. We could have hot chocolate and camp out, watch the stars like you wanted too that one time?" it sounds so nice, it would be so easy to say yes.
"I'm scared Eddie" you admit. Scared you'll get your heart broken again. He softens and sits beside you, squeezing your hands.
"I'm scared too sweetheart. I've never felt this way about anyone, certainly not Chrissy. If you decide to give me a chance, give me your heart then I'll swear I'll protect it and cherish it, never ever break it again"
Tears run down your cheeks and you nod, just a tiny bit and the smile that breaks out on Eddie's face is beautiful.
"You mean it?" he asks hopeful, big brown eyes full of happiness. Yes. Yes. You do mean it and grin back at him
Tentatively Eddie kisses you, smiling when you're arms wrap around him. He pulls away and takes your hand, kissing it softly.
"Hope you're ready to be wooed?" he teases and warmness sweeps over you. Hope that this time things will be different, know deep in your bones that this time Eddie isn't going to fuck up.
You cuddle into his chest and for the first time in a while, you feel content.
â€ïž
And that's it :) thank you to everyone who supported this series. I loved hearing all of your thoughts. Hope you like the final part đ€

Rayman/Ramon x reader : suggestive scenarios đ â€ïž
Thank you @theunalivegodd for the request !
Donât worry , as long as itâs not fully nsfw Iâm fine with occasionally writing suggestive stuff :)đ
Thank you for asking about it first though , I appreciate it âŁïž
Not gonna lie though , I was a bit nervous about posting this one ⊠hope I got everything right ;_;
Details : use of gender neutral reader ;Â
established relationships ;Â
presence of suggestive elementsÂ
Rayman đ§Ą
You released a sigh , staring at the ceiling of the bedroom while trying to keep your eyes open :Â
Rayman told you that he was going to be late tonight for an important interview that he absolutely couldnât avoid ( Board of Directors orders , as per usual ) , but you were still determined to wait for him , even though you were quite tired yourself .
< Come on ⊠just a little longer ⊠heâs gonna be here soon ⊠>Â
Your efforts were admirable , but eventually after a few minutes your head fell back on the pillow and you ended up falling asleep .
âŠ
You werenât even sure how long it had been , but at some point you woke to the familiar sensation of someone leaving a trail of kisses on your back , and a smile illuminated your face âŠÂ
< Hmm ⊠welcome back , Ray ⊠~ >Â
When you slowly turned around to look at your boyfriend , you couldnât help but notice the sheer exhaustion on his face ⊠however , judging by the spark in his eyes he was definitely very , very happy to see you after all those hours of work and stress .
< Thanks love ⊠I missed you ~ >Â
Raymanâs hands travelled across your body , the feeling of his touch on your skin giving you butterflies .
Clearly both of you had been looking forward to this moment , and as you stared at each other it wasnât difficult to tell where this was all leading up to âŠ
< You look tired , hun ⊠>Â
You heard him hum when you tenderly kissed his nose , something that you knew he always enjoyed a lot .
< Yeah ⊠well , doesnât matter now : Iâm with you . >Â
Before you could even realize it , Rayman had positioned himself on top of you , smiling smugly in front of your surprised expression âŠ
< Now then , y/n ⊠why donât I just show you just how much I missed you and your beautiful face , hm ? ~ >Â
You chuckled in response , your heartbeat speeding up in anticipation as he got closer âŠ
< Go ahead Ray ⊠Iâm all yours ~ >Â
That answer was exactly what he needed to hear .
You bit your lip , barely managing to be quiet when he begun kissing his way down your neck âŠ
It surely seemed like that night was going to turn out differently than what you expected , and you definitely werenât disappointed about it .Â
Ramon đ€Â
< Hiss - >Â
< Hold on Ram - that one looks painful ⊠gimme a second . >
Ramon stared at you , his eyes following your movements while you used the bandages you had left to patch him up âŠ
He felt slightly lightheaded now that the adrenaline of the fight was slowly fading away , and the realization that those Eden guards you just defeated couldâve easily killed the both of you if luck wasnât on your side made him feel sick .Â
< Listen ⊠I know you were trying to protect me back there , but almost getting killed because of it isnât something I can allow you to do . >Â
You heard him sigh in response âŠ
< y/n , Iâm fine , this - agh âÂ
This is nothing ⊠>Â
Your boyfriend couldnât bare to look up at you when he felt your gaze on him âŠÂ
He knew you were upset , rightfully so .Â
< Sweetie , are you seriously saying that while bleeding all over the living room ? >Â
No answer âŠ
< Ramon . I mean it .Â
Do you have any idea what would happen if I lost you ?Â
Youâre literally all I have left , without you Iâd ⊠I ⊠>Â
You took a deep breath , trying to calm yourself down despite the slight shakiness in your voice .Â
< I donât know if Iâd even have a reason to go on , do you understand ⊠? >Â
There was a moment of silence after that , and you could feel Ramonâs eyes on you âŠ
Suddenly , his hands grabbed you and brought you closer to him , a muffled gasp leaving you when his lips met yours . Â
< R - Ram â >Â
When you felt his tongue slip in your mouth , you could barely even think straight anymore âŠÂ
That series of rough kisses kept on going for quite a while , you now laying down on the couch with Ramon on top of you , until eventually you both pulled up to catch your breath .
You stared at him in awe , and he couldnât help but smile while caressing your cheek with one hand .Â
< Heh ⊠you werenât expecting that , were you darling ⊠? >Â
< I ⊠no , but it wasnât unwelcome ⊠>
Your expression softened when your hand lightly touched his bandaged waist âŠ
< Are ⊠are you sure you donât wanna take some time to recover before doing this , my love ?Â
I wouldnât want you to get more hurt , and - mm â ! ~ >Â
Your sentence met an abrupt end when Ramon decided to lower his head and leave a  small bite on your neck .
< ⊠you worry too much , y/n . >Â
There was a clear hint of desire in his voice now , and as he gently lifted your chin to look into your eyes you could see that he really did just want to make it up to you for being so wreckless that afternoon âŠ
< Now , please just lay back and relax , okay ?Â
You need to be rewarded properly after all youâve been through ⊠~ >Â
By the looks of it neither of you was going to be leaving that comfortable spot anytime soon âŠÂ
Not like that thought could even cross your minds at that point .Â

hi! If it's ok can you do a Reaper sans x reader with fluff and in it they are dating and Reaper can touch the reader and their soul trait would be kindness
hii! an opportunity to use reaper..this'll be fun! thank you for your request Anon! đž
đFlirting With Deathđ€
Reaper comes to a stop once he re-enters the mortal realm once more, relieved that no one is aware that he's awake at the moment.. Although he may be the God of Death..he doesn't really feel like killing anybody. No, he'd much rather do literally anything else.
His eyes dart around until he perks up at the sight of a familiar face taking a walk down a path and letting a butterfly rest on their finger. He'd know them anywhere.
A strange figure that appeared in his world out of no where..an unexplained event. They don't know much of their origin themself, but..they're content, living in this world. And he's grown so very fascinated with them.. Someone who managed to slip their way into his guarded heart.
Floating over you, a sly cheshire-like grin stretches onto his face as he grabs your shoulders, spooking you. You jolt as you turn around, furrowing your brows as he lets out an amused chuckle.
"Not funny!" You cross your arms as more butterflies seem to make their way to you, resting on your head. "Quit doing that."
"i saw an opportunity, and i took it. anyway..movin' on from that, how are you today?" He leans down upside down. "haven't seen you in a while..guess we both got too busy."
"Come down here before I answer." You gesture, earning an amused chuckle.
"alright then." He floats back upright, before landing on the ground.
The butterflies spread out, flying in varying directions, avoiding the God of Death so they wouldn't meet an early demise. He stands before you, using his magic to put away his scythe, leaving himself open.
"Much better..I like being on equal terms." You smile, holding a small basket in front of you. "I've mostly just been hanging out here..taking walks and stuff. Oh yeah, I've been making a bunch of paper crafts- y'know, like origami? It's pretty fun. ..When I'm not getting lectured for leaving a bunch of paper rabbits out." You mutter that last part, earning a chuckle from him.
"oh my stars, that's so..you." He grins, watching you as you begin walking and following without hesitation.
"Creativity is both my blessing and my curse." You smile sheepishly, guiding him along a grass-covered path. He occasionally floats so he doesn't kill any flowers beneath him, listening carefully as you talk about this and that.
"What about you?" You turn to him, snapping him out of a trance of sorts.
"oh, well..y'know. your typical scenarios. death, death, more death. this job's killing me."
"How is it, up there?"
"well..just do my job, talk to who i'm 'sposed to, and do daily tasks. pretty simple."
"..You must be pretty lonely up there.."
He turns to you.
"I mean-"
"it was pretty lonely, without you there. ..things don't feel the same up there, compared to when i'm with you. tends to happen, heh."
You gently hold out your hand, offering for him to take it. He looks between you and your hand for a moment, gently taking it and intertwining his fingers with yours. Wow, is that a strange sensation.. he's gotta learn to get used to all of this touching. Especially since you're so openly affectionate..
"Well..at least we're here together now, right? We've got plenty of time." You smile warmly at him. His cheekbones flush a light shade of blue..there you go again, tugging on his heartstrings.
"..i guess you're right."
You continue leading him along like he's a lost puppy, taking a deep breath as the sun hits your face from above. It's always good to savor it while it lasts..and considering it's going to set soon, that time's limited.
"Now that you're back I wanna spend as much time with you as possible..don't get too sick of me, okay?"
"that's what i'm supposed to say to you."
"Yeah, right. I could never be sick of you."
He averts his eyes, hiding the bottom of his face within his hood as his face flushes even more.
You smile, stopping and turning to him as another breeze blows through, gently swaying your clothing to the side.
"i haven't..felt like this before, with anybody." He raises a hand, placing it on his warm cheekbone. "it's all so..new.."
"Can I touch your face?" You ask politely, and he nods, appreciating that. You lift a hand, gently touching his cheekbone and letting him lean into it. "..It's new for both of us, really. ..We've got each other, every step of the way, right?"
"yeah.." He smiles, putting his hand over yours. "i don't mind being touched by you. it's something i could get used to."
"..You always have such..uncertainty, when you hold my hand. Why's that?"
"i guess.. a part of me's scared that my...effect will work on you one day." His eyesockets narrow as he grimaces. "the idea of losing you is.."
You gently hold your hand up so he can see before you put it on his other cheek, turning him so he'll face you properly.
"Sans." You mutter his name, his true name, leaving him breathless.
"I doubt that'd ever happen..I'm too stubborn to go anywhere. No matter what, I will always be with you somehow..even when you're up there with the fun police."
He snickers, moving his hand over to touch your hair before it slides to your cheek. Now it's your turn to lean..savoring his gentle touches. He treats you as if you're the most fragile thing in the world..one wrong move, and you could shatter into pieces. But at the same time, you're very sturdy.. you can handle yourself just fine. He knows that.
"You can touch me as much as you'd like to. I don't mind at all."
His face burns. "forward, much?"
"Yeah. But I mean it." You smile. "If you'd like me to, I'll give you as much physical affection as you want."
"..yeah?"
"Yeah."
"how so?"
"Well..may I?" You lean a little closer.
"of course."
You then proceed to pepper his skull with kisses, getting a few laughs out of him since he's ticklish. Oh, would you use that to your advantage later-
"Mmmwah! There. There'll be plenty more where that came from." You smile smugly, watching as he slowly reopens his eyes, turning to you and..matching your expression? Oh. Oh no.
He gently grabs your wrists, pulling you just a liiittle closer.
"you're not getting away that easily. it's my turn."
Oh heavens.

The way you came into the arms of the Inner Circle is complicated, to say the least. It was Cassian and Azriel who found you bruised and lost in the Spring Court woods. You were weak and had clearly been attacked by someone or something and the illyrians didn't know what to do with you at first. They couldn't leave you there, it was pretty clear that you would end up being killed given the critical state you were in. So they decided to take you to Velaris. They could deal with the High Lord and High Lady after they made sure you were okay. They didn't understand why but the thought of you succumbing to your injuries made them bitter.
You were treated by the High Lord's favorite healer and you were out of danger, leaving the males relieved, but now they had to deal with Rhysand and Feyre. The rulers didn't seem upset but rather curious about what motivated the illyrian males to bring you to Velaris and how concerned they were about you. Though they could show kindness and mercy, the peculiar way in which they acted around him baffled him. They didn't even know your name, but they were determined to save you.
When you finally regained consciousness, you found yourself surrounded by the males who saved you, although you were half unconscious when they found you, you recognized and thanked them. Although you still felt pain, you didn't want to stay in an unfamiliar place any longer and wanted to go back to your home. Wherever it was. Needless to say, they didn't take it very well. They didn't seem willing to let you out of that bed, that much you noticed, but not that they didn't seem to want to let you out of the Night Court. And soon you found out it wasn't just them.
Rhysand tries to be the voice of reason and tries to be sympathetic to your situation and talks to Azriel and Cassian about you, but soon he is considered a hypocrite when he finds himself attached to you and does not intend to let you go. There was something about you, something that made you so special in Rhys's eyes and he didn't intend to let something so precious go. Rhysand enjoys listening to you talk, he's a good listener, and would love to take you flying with him if you wanted.
Feyre was one of the most excited to have you with them, along with Azriel and Cassian, it didn't take long for her to convince her mate to accept you into the Inner Circle. She is so kind to you and loving, almost like a mother would. Feyre learned to love you once she heard your ''story'' told by the males and she decided she couldn't let you go. What if you were attacked again? She couldn't have that and she wouldn't. She loves to paint you and she will love to teach you how to do it if you want to learn.
Morrigan was wary at first but soon warmed to you like the others and truly loved you. She was furious when she learned that you were attacked and wanted to find the culprits to make them pay for daring to hurt you. A passionate delusional, Mor doesn't seem to understand how wrong it all was, her family's obsession with you and she didn't care.
Cassian warmed to you the moment he found you semi-conscious in the woods, and just like Mor, he wanted to make whoever hurt you feel bad. The general refused to leave your side until you got better and was ready to fight Feyre and Rhys if they didn't allow him into Velaris, thankfully that was avoided. Cassian is playful and wants to teach you how to stand up for yourself, he loves to tease and flirt with you, but will get annoyed if someone else does the same. Only he is allowed to tease you.
Azriel took a little longer to warm up to you, although he felt bitter when he met you, he was still suspicious. He's not the Spymaster for no reason, he needed to make sure you weren't a threat, but even so, Azriel didn't like the idea of leaving your side, but you would be in good hands until he checked everything and that led him to find out who hurt you. He's quieter and the least demanding of your attention, but Az wants you to choose him for things, be it training, or being in the Shadowsinger's silent company. He has really come to love you.
Amren was the last to warm up to you. At first, she was curious and suspicious of everything, the strange affection others had for you, but as he spent more time with her, she could finally understand and Amren began to open up to you. You became good friends, much to everyone's amazement, and the First Mate found herself craving her company more often, particularly when you brought her blood.
Family is what they are and what they will always be. They all warmed to you in their own way and you became theirs when you accepted to become part of the Inner Circle, even if you didn't know you were theirs before all this happened. When Azriel found out who had hurt you, they all went after those responsible and made them suffer in return for what they did to you. No one could hurt you and get away with it, they would make sure of that.
Everyone is kind and protective of you, but if you try to run away from them, they won't be so kind anymore. Rhysand and Feyre would order you to be hunted down and brought back home and when you were brought back, screaming, they would make you regret leaving. They love you, but you dared to disobey them and soon you will learn what it means to revolt against the Night Court. But don't worry, they won't hurt you too much. And when it was all over, you would find yourself covered in affects that would break your mind more than the worst tortures.
And if you still fight their love, Rhysand and Feyre will have to use their daemati gifts. They don't want to have to break your mind for you to accept them, but they will if everything becomes too much to handle and others would be inclined to accept you being manipulated, broken. But once it's all over, when all the pain is gone, you'll be more loved and more cared for. Cassian and Azriel would take you flying and sightseeing, Mor would take you drinking and shopping, Amren would shower you with jewels, Rhys would be so protective and loving and Feyre would be so affectionate and would spend hours painting you. They would all act as if nothing had happened and anyone who threatens to shatter that illusion will bitterly regret it.
