peter + pirate au !!
peter as a pirate. pete … petey …
peter is 100% the type to be a stowaway child who saw the pirating life and was like !! yep sign me up !! bless his heart HOWEVER as im a firm believer that this boy would do just about anything for his aunt i think aunt may joined the pirate life entirely out of necessity, it’s not the life she wanted to raise peter in, but alas we can’t control stuff like that. rightfully so the glorious aunt may is captain parker to all of you, and a force to be reckoned with when out on the seas!
peter is far less so a force and much more a breeze with a heart for adventure. captain parker entertains her nephew’s wide eyes and miscellaneous treasure maps here and there and it’s a smooth life. until it isn’t! the parker curse extends even to the sea life and peter is hardly ready to captain any ship, even his aunt’s— no matter how much faith the remaining crew have in him after a devastating attack.
with so many holes in the ship, and too much guilt to carry, peter walks away from the ship which becomes driftwood, and the crew who now mostly sit around and tell stories at one of the busier harbors. and as for pete? you really thought i’d abandon the pesky stowaway life he’s clearly destined for? NO WAY!! stowaway era begins, and while he has no allegiance to any one crew, he’s sailed with them all

how the boys would be like as your plus one — stray kids.
author's note: this was meant to be a short blurb on how the boys would act, but... as you can see i might have gotten just a little bit carried away :,)
as always, happy readings and always remember — you're loved, ily always x
warning(s): none, just a lot of fluff & a lengthy read
bang chan ꒱ ˎˊ˗ a wedding.
— the most attentive, and the most handsome date you would have ever brought to a function as your plus one. your relatives would love him, and you best bet that they'd be gushing over the little things he'd do to make sure you were okay (even if he was your guest, that would be his top priority). if your aunts were squealing at how he would gently place his hand over your hip to not lose you in the crowd, they couldn't imagine how quick your heart was racing. but, through and through, the both of you spend a lot of time together. there could be a mosh pit by the end of the night but you and chan would be tucked away in the ballroom, sitting at one of the empty tables with his arm behind your chair, his hand on your knee while you mindlessly play with rings he specially chose to adorn tonight since you mentioned how pretty it would look with his black nail polish coating his nails. he'd spend most of his night by your side, but he wouldn't hesitate to strike up conversation with your relatives; distant or close. chan was a friendly guy, and you liked that he willingly spoke to everyone. on the drive home he tells you all about the fun games your youngest cousin/relative had been playing and you listen with a fond look on your face. you think about how lucky you are to have him while chan feels immensely blessed to have you. 
Tumblr media
minho ꒱ ˎˊ˗ a premiere
— with minho, it took a lot of convincing for him to go with you because in all honesty, this boy just loves to poke fun and have you try the hard way to convince him instead of simply saying yes like any normal person would, but even if you were to ask him at the very last minute to accompany you for the night, he'd say yes in a heartbeat. he wouldn't admit it so easily though, but he'll always have a soft spot for you. he'd be very quiet for most of the night, occasionally making small talk to those around you and saying hello to the people you knew, but this boy was shy, and you knew that. majority of the night would be spent with him whispering sweet nothings into your ear, telling you whatever was on his mind and while the two of you sat together, he'd have your hand in his, resting on his lap. by the end of the night you'd have his blazer draped over your shoulder with your heels in his hands and his feet barefoot because you wore the wrong heels and so with a tiny complain, minho let's you wear his shoes and holds your hand behind his back while he guides you to where he has the car parked. you spend the rest of the week teasing the poor boy about how shy he was, how cute he was when he would keep playing with his earrings or even the tips of your hair, and he'd only listen with a scowl while his ears would turn red. 
Tumblr media
changbin ꒱ ˎˊ˗ family dinner.
— it would be the first time for you to bring a boyfriend home, and having been dating changbin for a little over two years, the both of you thought it would be nice to spend the holidays with each other's family. since you lived a little closer to the city, changbin thought it would be better to spend the break at your parents house first before heading down to his. even if changbin did agree to this arrangement, he's still scared shitless about meeting your family but you assure him all the way, telling him that there couldn't be anything about that they wouldn't love — and it's true! your dad may have been a little forward, and a little too formal but the rest of your family seemed to adore him. your grandmother was playing card games with him, your aunties and uncles were asking him everything they wanted to know about him all while you were sat by his side, happily listening in with your arms wrapped around his. your relatives corner you in the kitchen to gush over changbin when you're getting yourself a drink and when changbin returns to your side, they continue talking to the two of you about anything and everything. by the end of the night, changbin's more than comfortable and even moves from timidly pecking your forehead, to coming up behind you to hug you while you continue talking to everyone. from there on it's pretty safe to say, he was welcomed into the family.
Tumblr media
hyunjin ꒱ ˎˊ˗ an art exhibition.
— hyunjin and you both loved art, if not adored it, and funnily enough— that was how the both of you met. fast forward three years later, you were attending a friend's art show and hyunjin was naturally the first person you thought of. the second you arrive, the both of you take your time to enjoy each and every piece you come across. it's not easy to find the perfect person to sit in silence with, and to you, it was even harder to find someone— the right person to accompany you to a gallery without having to worry whether they would appreciate the art and be completely okay with admiring in complete silence, but with hyunjin it happened so naturally. things always fell right into place with him, and it helped that the both of you shared so many interests together that it was almost so easy to blend into each other's lives. the rest of the exhibition is spent with the both of you pointing out tiny details the other person could have missed out, talking about how much this specific piece had moved you, so on so forth. you almost never want to leave the place, and hyunjin feels the same way because art has become his safe space, his favourite form of comfort and serenity; aside from you. he spends the day taking pictures of you, the art and everything you do on that day and when you both get home to unwind, he spends his night with you cuddled in his side while he sketches out a picture he took of you earlier. 
Tumblr media
jisung ꒱ ˎˊ˗ a concert.
— with jisung, the both of you shared the same interests especially when it came to music. the both of you had many things in common but music was what brought you two together, as cliche as it sounds. so, when you surprise jisung with VIP tickets along with a backstage pass to his favourite band, he couldn't help but jump at the opportunity to go with you; "like you would want to go with anyone else" he says. when you both get there, it's a known fact that jisung doesn't do well in big crowds but he's better at it when he has someone familiar with him, and in this scenario it's you, and the familiarity of your perfume that lingers over his shirt with how close your standing to him with his back against your chest. the both of you sing your hearts out at every song you know. at a certain slow song, jisung delicately takes your chin between his thumb and pointer finger to make you look up at him as he sings the words to you, and it makes you blush. at how big the crowd looks, jisung opts between either holding your hand or placing it around your middle to have you close, and you let him. you two get to meet the band that performed, and even if jisung started stuttering his words, he can't stop kissing you the second you both enter the car because he's just so happy, and even happier to have gotten to spend such a great night with you.
Tumblr media
felix ꒱ ˎˊ˗ graduation ceremony. 
— felix was a little unsure in accompanying you to your friends graduation, only because he didn't want you to feel complied to have to deal with him when you were meant to spend the day happy, celebrating with your friend, but when you tell him you want him to be there to meet your friend, he accepts with no hesitation with the knowledge that you want him to be there. when you two get there, you only meet your friend after the ceremony and as expected, the three of you end up having a great time. you had been dating felix for a little over a year now, so your friend— naturally starts to interrogate him, almost bombarding him with questions that make you look at her weirdly, but felix the angel he is answers with ease and tells your friend he couldn't have gotten more lucky to have been able to met you while going through such a rough time in his life and you can't help but melt at the confession. felix starts to blush as he says it but he doesn't deny it nor does he take it back. he owns up to it with a smile, a proud one, all while he has his fingers laced with yours under the table. the three of you move on from that, and your friend ends up telling felix everything about you from A to Z. all those memories you nearly forgot were resurfaced. on the way home when you sulk about it, felix takes your hand in his and places his lips on your knuckles as he drives you home, cooing over how cute you are all while also telling you just how much all those stories made him like you more.
Tumblr media
seungmin ꒱ ˎˊ˗ christmas party.
— seungmin had planned for the both of you to stay in for the night, but when you bring up the possibility of having to go to a work event in your office, he kept his day free of any plans to be able to go to the event with you. and when the day comes, seungmin is an absolute delight. he makes small talk with your colleagues, he's polite and within an hour he has your boss laughing at jokes he normally wouldn't be laughing at. to say everybody at your work adored seungmin, would be an understatement and while you liked it, you weren't too fond by the way some of your colleagues were looking at seungmin. one thing that took you by surprise was when co-worker accidentally fell onto seungmin after having tripped over... nothing. but seungmin isn't dense, nor is he oblivious to the fact that his girlfriend had become a lot more quieter than usual. he had noticed your discomfort when you had unlinked your arms with his so when he pulls you two away from the crowd, he talks to you and tells you that you two can leave any time you want and when he visibly sees you light up at the mention of leaving, he chuckles and tells you he'll follow your lead. the both of you end up driving to a nearby supermarket where you're grabbing all the right ingredients to make yourself a christmas cake along with some marshmallows for s'mores. you wouldn't want to spend christmas any other way.
Tumblr media
jeongin ꒱ ˎˊ˗ an opening ceremony.
— this event seemed incredibly important to you, so upon your request jeongin said yes when you asked him to attend the ceremony with you. it was a opening of a restaurant owned by a family friend, and jeongin was the only person you could think of when your mom mentioned to bring a friend, so feeling shy and a little honoured; jeongin put on his best clothes and drove you to the venue. being the shy boy he is, jeongin spends the first half of the night with his hand placed respectfully behind your back but as the night goes on, you see jeongin relax a little more and it brings a content smile on your face. seeing him get along with the people you grew up with made your heart nearly swell. when jeongin catches your eye over your aunt’s shoulder, he throws a smooth wink your way, that you can’t help the laugh that escapes your lips. jeongin may be shy, but he also is confident so as the event continues, he returns, and stays by your side, occasionally running his fingers over your shoulder when you two sit with his arm slung over the back of your chair, or if you were standing, you would quietly clasp your hands behind your back just to fiddle with the bottom of his blazer, knowing how much he liked any form of physical touch. you didn’t know jeongin could be even more loveable and charming around other people, but he could and it only made you fall for him even more. by the end of the night when he has your bag slung over his shoulder while you’re tightly gripping his forearm to maintain your balance, he tells you how amazing you are and how he had an amazing time. you only thank him with a kiss on his cheek, while telling him you enjoyed the night too.
any errors will be fixed & corrected when i have the time x
with all my love, saturn.

you’re too sweet ily and i am being brave about being sick and looking after myself coz i am alone ugh where’s the fictional boyfriend who can cook me food and make me hot drinks….
-🦥
you told peter the only fix would be some chicken noodle soup, he told you, albeit nicely, that he doesn't make soup. peter offered to order you some and he'd gladly bring it, and maybe it is a little dramatic, but you told him it wasn't the same. it had to be homemade.
sitting in bed, blanket tucked under your chin, you felt horrible. your nose couldn't decide between being clogged or a leaky faucet. coughing burned your throat, and you were fighting a fever.
your boyfriend sent you an 'incoming' text, you blink around the room. death would be easier, you think.
just like he said, a gentle knock was produced at your door. you appreciate peter coming by, but you don't dare let him in, you keep telling him you refuse to get him sick.
it takes longer than a minute to rise, you hope he doesn't mind. shuffling towards your door, you peek through a crack, he has a smile so wide and bright you copy it, just for a second, until a cough comes and you hide behind the oak.
'my poor baby,' he somehow eased himself into your room while you were busy trying to catch your breath. his lips were slightly cold on your forehead. 'you feel a little warm, have you taken your temperature?'
'yeah,' you sniffle, your back to not being able to breathe. 'it's going down.' another kiss, you push him away, your eyes catching on to a hand behind his back.
'what's that?' rather than tell, he shows. a container filled with chicken soup, homemade for sure. you gasp, eyes sparkling wide, you reach for the plastic; it's still warm.
'i thought you said you don't make soup?'
'i don't. but, may does. and she was more than willing to provide when i told her how sick you are.' you hug the container to your chest, it was an action of love. from peter's aunt and him.
'can you facetime her? i need to tell her how grateful i am.' your boyfriend's already pulling his phone from his pocket, but he still takes the time to tease you. 'and nothing for me? spider-man sailed across the city so his girlfriend could have hot soup.'
you bow your head, 'thank you, spidey.' peter's phone rings out, he doesn't seem happy at your response. 'close enough.' may's face pops up, you shove the container into the camera, your own face shortly after.
'peter said you made me soup. thank you very much.' a shocked laugh, she brushes you off. 'oh! you're very welcome, but i didn't do much. i just supervised peter.'
you wack peter's arm, he pouts at his aunt while you pester him. 'you said may made it! why are you lying to me?' you crack the lid and take a deep inhale, the steam fights off the sinus infection, it smells like home.
'in case it's bad.' it's may's turn to berate. 'peter!' you take a sip of the broth, it coats your sore throat and you need every bit of it. 'peter's the one that said he needed to learn how to make it. i just hung out in the background.'
‘thanks for tattling, may.’ peter’s made sure you got to bed safely. grabbing a spoon and hunkering down, you shove a mouthful, you'd share but you're selfish. 'this is so good, honey. thank you.' may sees it wipe over her nephew's face, he's proud. you asked and he delivered, next time he could even do it on his own.
'you're welcome, my baby. want some water?' you nod, watching peter walk around the room before holding his arm out. 'say goodbye, trouble.' you wave and say thank you when she tells you to feel better, peter sits next to you and refills your water.
'anything else?' he made you soup. something he never does, and he did. he learned for you. 'yes,' you scooch over, 'i need as many cuddles as you can give.'

Tidbits of ATSV That I Enjoyed (Or Alternatively: Just Miles Being The Most Endearing Spidey Ever)
Miles patting The Spot's head after successfully webbing him (I don't see this as condescending, but rather him still engaging with the humanity of a villain like Spot) and ~very assertively~ telling/asking him not to escape.
"I'm like Robin Hood-if he gave to himself."
Miles' spidey senses going off when he arrives late to his dad's party because there's nothing more frightening than Brown parents when they're mad at you. Beware the chancla or correa!
O.k. So we all know there are different versions of the movie out there. You may already know that one of the slight differences is when Miles goes to save Inspector Singh. There's a version where you can hear Gwen's voice in the distant background yelling no! when she thinks Miles gets crushed under the rubble, and there's another where she's silent as she webs to him. Now, I have found ANOTHER version (online) where her shouting is even more at the forefront. She's practically screaming and sounds more desperate, (prolly because it's close to the same way her Peter Parker died so she's reliving trauma) and the fear in her voice is palpable. That one haunts me.
Jefferson trying to equate studying for his police exams to childbirth, which Rio quickly nips in the bud.
Ganke having a soccer poster of Son Heung Min, a famous Korean footballer who currently plays for the Premier League Tottenham Hotspur and is captain of the South Korean national team.
Miles having a Sashimi (his universe's version of Supreme, but I just like the idea that Miles loves eating sashimi. Like I know that kid has good taste in food) poster in his bedroom.
The fact that Miles kept in touch with Aunt May for long enough after the events of ITSV that he helps her move.
The Spot saying he was one of the more handsome scientists at Alchemax according to his colleagues.
Miles and Gwen having the same collectible toys, the only difference being that he keeps his in the box and she doesn't.
"Hey, don't try to wow me with big words, man," *in deep manly voice* "I do crosswords every day"- Miles after Spot points out Alchemax as "the crucible of our connection!"
Miles going, "This job is so dumb sometimes" after he tries to web Spot at the deli, but it goes through a hole and lands on his face.
"Nahhh, he seems more Dominican to me." Kinda want Miles to meet a native Dominican Spidey because that dynamic would highkey fuck hard *pun not intended*. They would repair relations between our two islands-PR&DR.
"Almost there Mami *smiley face* *cowboy* prayer hands*"
The college admissions coach at Visions Academy straight up saying, "That's your story! Now, just stick to the script..." Ma'am what???
"Calmate Mami, eso no es my fault."
"I've hit a lot of different villains with a lot of different food...I'm just trying to lighten the mood."
Miles in his angsty teen era and smart-mouthing everyone around him. Love that for him.
"He almost killed his mom as a baby, I mean, look at those shoulders." No but for real tho. Those shoulders are as wide as a truck. Kim Seokjin who??? (if you understood that reference, ily).
Miles writing a love letter to his dad in 2 cakes.
Gwen at the water tower chowing and saying how feelings make her hungry after her and Miles talked about how they can't be together cause it would end in tragedy. Like Gwen, come again?!
Also, Miles' and Gwen's talk at the Williamsburg Bank Building being lowkey the catalyst for the 2nd/3rd acts of the film. Without them both kind of silently admitting their feelings for each other, Miles probably wouldn't have chased after her the way he did. Pretty sure you know the rest.
"I bet she doesn't even speak Spanish," and Jeff going "Que barbaridad" in his very broken Spanish. Queue Rio's bombastic side eye.
Both Gwen and Miles referring to Spot as a Villain Of The Week, even though neither of them have spoken about Spot to each other.
"I was bitten by a-wouldnt you like to know? Know what I mean?" SIR. Chill. This movie is for children.
The Spot inverting himself, going from a white mass with black spots to a gaping black hole with smaller white spirals. It's giving Junji Ito.
The irony of Pavitr exclaiming, "Well that was another easy adventure for Spider-Man!" right before an incoming canon event. HIS. He was about to experience his first big loss, and his happy-go-lucky nature would've been challenged.
Miguel saying conyo! when all the Spideys start pointing at each other.
"!Cállate!" "Nosy!" Sidebar: we don't talk about Gwen's banter with bad guys enough. She's so funny!
A lot of the Peters saying hi to Gwen as she passes HQ because she is canonically the one lost love--the love interest they all would've ended up with had she not died, so they all have an affection for her.
Web-Slinger going "Giddy up!" Cause he's swinging up.
Miles offering his fresh new takes on how to deal with the Spot upon meeting Miguel, saying "He just wants to be taken seriously. Like we all do." MILES YOU BEAUTIFUL, COMPASSIONATE GOLDEN SUNFLOWER BOY I LOVE YOUUUUU.
Hobie referring to Peter B. as Humbling Reality Spider-Man, which considering how steeped in tragedy the Spidey lore is, is really saying something.
Miguel's nonono no puedo más no puedo más. His misery is very funny and delightful to me. Little bitch ass.
"You know you're the only Spider-Man who isn't funny." Yes! More Miguel slander in the next one, please! Little bitch ass.
"Snitch!"
Miles shouting out Peter's name for help whilst Miguel pins and lays into him the fact that he's an anomaly. This after he momentarily glitches back to his ITSV store-bought suit. Mimicking the way-in also the first movie-Miles shouting out Peter's name for his own rescue as Doc Ock attacks him at the research facility. Because even though he feels hurt by Peter at this point, that's still his dad mentor and he still instinctively looks to him for protection. Rip my heart out why don't you!
Gwen sneaking back into her and her dad's place just to get that printed polaroid of her and Miles, a pic she already has on her phone.
Earth-42 Miles wearing Nike while our Miles wears Jordans.
#hi. ive seen this movie 8x in theaters and twice on pirating sites. i am unwell#also sorry not sorry for the miguel slander. i am a miles loyalist thru and thru thst bitch is on thin ice#but also literally can't get over gwen “it really is so nice to get to talk to you. me & him its different. in every other universe...stacy#cause directly underneath that she's actually saying. “i missed you. and what i have with you i literally do not have with anyone else and.#you dont know this but ive met hundreds and thousands of spiderpeople. nd even in my friendship with hobie its not like what i have with yo#and im actually really smitten with you. the one person i shouldn't be smitten with bc there is no happy ending for us. and idk...#if i should hold off. and im letting you know all this so that you can decide for me. whether to take that lesp of faith or not with you. &#hope that say yes and make the first move so that i cant but help to just sink into you.“#AND IT MAKES SENSE! SHE MET HIM JUST AS HE WAS LIVING THROUGH AN EXPERIENCE SHE DID. OF BECOMING SPIDEY. AND RIGHT AFTER#SUFFERING THE GREATEST TRAGEDY OF HER LIFE WHICH SHE WAS ABOUT TO BEAR WITNESS THRU WITH HIM. SHE WAS THERE FOR HIS UNCLE DYING AND WATCHED#HIM BECOME SPIDERMAN. WE FORGET THAT THEY ACTUALLY WENT THRU SOME HEAVY THINGS TOGETHER. THEYRE TRAUMABONDED. I KNOW THATS NOT WHAT THAT WO#ACTUALLY MEANS. BUT IT MAKES SENSE THAT SHE CAN ONLY TALK TO MILES BC THEY PERFECTLY UNDERSTAND EO.#anyways idk why im shouting. im high rn. but crazy how all of that meaning was subtly thrown in there. like we got a confession scene folks#from gwen of all people! i love that for me.#also back to miguel: so i know he's hot. but if a hot person were to ever be rude to a waiter we agree theyre no longer hot right? right.#atsv#miles morales#itsv#miguel o'hara#the spot#ghostflower#gwiles#gwen stacy#ghost spider#gwen x miles#rio morales#across the spider verse#into the spider verse

Hello! Could I please get a spiderman noir x reader where the reader comforts him and holds him after he has a horrible nightmare? Some angst to comfort! Tysm!! (I love your posts💗)
We demand more spider-noir X reader🪧👋🙏🏼
(Ily anon)
SPIDER-NOIR x READER
-
You woke from your slumber noticing that you couldn’t feel your fiancé on the bed. If he went out for patrol again he was gonna be sleeping on the couch. You loved Peter, really, and you loved Spider-Man but you couldn’t stand it sometimes.
Waiting for Him to come home all worried, and when he arrived you had to patch him up, it was not the most convenient but you loved Peter.
You sat up turning on the lamp to see better, then You noticed Peter was there, he was sitting at the edge your guy’s bed. You scooted over next to him, noticing he was all teary eyed.
“What’s wrong honey?” You asked him, he didn’t respond, “bad dream?” You asked again, he chuckled “you read me like a book” he said, rubbing his eyes, looking back at you. “Do you wanna talk about it?” You asked him, Peter had bad dreams, it wasn’t very common but when he did have them, they were terrible to him.
This one time he had dreamed of Aunt may getting killed because he couldn’t save her, and when he woke up he went straight to her house to check on her, even with it being 2am in the morning. Sometimes he’d just have recurring dreams, or, nightmares where he would just be reliving uncle Ben’s death.
Usually Peter would tell you he didn’t want to talk about his nightmares because, He didn’t even want to think about them himself, but he always ended up caving in and telling you about them.
This time he didn’t try fighting it, tears started falling down his cheeks as you hugged him, he wrapped his arms around your waist, finding comfort in your warmth. “i couldn’t save you” he mumbled, you hummed in confusion, “you, you got hurt, and I couldn’t save you, and- and you died” he said.
Your own heart hurt hearing how much this “nightmare” tore him up, he’d never been so emotional because of a nightmare, of course he would get worried, or scared, or sad, but right now he was just a mess.
“It was just a dream, I’m right here” you reassured him that you were okay, “I know, but, it was terrible” he told you, it seemed like this nightmare really hit him like a train. “I promise I’m never gonna let that happen to you sweetheart” he told you, “I know” you said, he looked at you, giving you a light smile.
“I know handsome” you finished letting go of him, scooting back to you spot on you bed, patting his spot for him to get back in bed. Peter crawled in to bed; instead of laying on his side of the bed, he laid on top of you, resting his head in the crook of you neck.
You ruffled his hair, playing with it, soon enough he was knocked out.

midnight sugar | peter parker
tw: none. mentions of sex? dirty jokes? tony? there's a bit angst... if you squint. mostly fluff, because i need this for my mental health- (668 words)
summary: you can't sleep, so it's only right to pull peter into this. at least you've made a memory you'll never forget.
you rolled around in your bed, now finding comfort with your head dangling off the end of the bed, hair flopping around. insomnia was getting the best of you, and there was nothing to be done. you knew peter was at the avenger's tower, and the urge to pull him into this mess was irresistible.
so you did what any girlfriend would do.
y/n
hey petey
y/n

he huffed quietly and tossed his phone onto the dresser. normally he'd be at home with aunt may, but he had a late shift and just decided to stay here, too lazy to make the swing back. peter stumbled out of the room, into the elevator, and onto the 7th floor. he tried not to wince too bad as he walked in the kitchen that conveniently had all the lights on.
"y/n?" he asked in a raspy voice, one the you obviously found attractive.
"babes!"
"angel," he murmured, leaning against the counter, "what on earth are you doing?"
peter woke up a bit more when he saw your beautiful figure, coated in... flour? there was some in your hair and on your nose. you were wearing nothing but one of his sweatshirts, and no shorts, at least none that he could see.
not that he was looking or anything.
"baking! i was thinking, like, cake," you grinned, still stirring the batter.
"i- okay," he shrugged, remembering it was best not to question these things. peter figured you were having one of those nights, and the best thing he could do was to be there for you, even if it meant participating in these antics. he made his way over to his love, snaking his arms around your waist and burying his nose in your neck.
"mmm... you smell good, pretty girl."
"thank you, pretty boy. now help me! chocolate or vanilla?"
"chocolate, duh."
"i figured."
he pulled away, but didn't leave the embrace, "if you knew, why'd you ask?" he snorted.
"courtesy. also, i need more milk."
"what do we say when we want something?" peter teased.
"please let me have the white liquid, you kinky bastard."
he groaned loudly, and begrudgingly went to retrieve the item. "you're so dirty, y/nnnn."
"don't act as if you aren't horny 90% of the time."
"hey- i-... that's not true!" he spluttered out.
"uh-huh."
the two of you spent the rest of the night giggling and making messes, enjoying a semi-burnt chocolate cake. it was nothing but wholesome when the avengers walked into a doughy mess, and you two curled up in each other, snoring quietly with plates and spoons on the side.
"as long as parker wasn't fucking my daughter, i don't care. cute, though," tony snickered.

pookie how do u deal with being single I want love like in ur stories 😢 waaaa
I always have a really hard time explaining this, especially considering I write romantic fanfiction in my free time, but I digress! I’ll try to get through my thought process as best as I can here:
I used to be somebody who valued romantic relationships so deeply, and with age I think I’ve just grown indifferent toward romance. In finally realizing that romantic relationships just don’t fulfill me, I’ve grown to understand that there are far greater aspects in life that do fulfill me- my job, traveling, writing… even making money, as cringe as that may come off. You have to let your life be fulfilled in a multitude of ways- the rest will find you naturally. Don’t force anything if it’s not meant to be.
And that being said- one of my favorite lessons from a philosophy course I took in college and something I hold so close to me- you may never find a romantic partner to spend your life with. And that’s okay. Don’t let your tiny blip of a lifetime in this vast universe be defined by some situationship not liking you back. You’re better than that- and bigger than that. You have a lot more to offer and you will feel both lighter and happier when you stop defining your life through the lens of other people.
Perhaps it’s also a helpful fact that I have never in my life wanted children and I don’t believe in the traditional sense of marriage, so I don’t feel this impending doom of a “body clock” or whatever sexist term they’re calling it these days. I just… want to exist, and to age gracefully. (And maybe be the cool aunt who writes a lot and travels all over the world.)
TLDR: Embrace being single. This lifetime isn’t forever- why place all of its value in your romantic relationships? Go live your life!!! Go experience everything else that is in your control!!!!!
(Also TRUST you guys don’t want me to fall in love- I think I would stop writing altogether. As I stand, I can lock myself in a room and spew 30,000 words about my assumptions of Hyunjin as a lover. I could never speak of a real-life man the same way.)
ily pookie, don’t put pressure on yourself 🫶🩷

James Lanik Headcanons
Tw’s for self-harm and mental illnesses, stay safe. Ily guys very much.
James was an outcast from a very young age
He’s left-handed
And left footed so he struggles with that
He LOVES rock music
Not hard rock though.
He never exactly “fit in” anywhere, not school, not sports, not church, nowhere, really
He was raised extremely strictly catholic
As he grew up more, he lost his way in his religion, feeling helpless and horrible about how he felt, he fell into the habit of self-harm and severe OCD
It overtook his life for over 4 years, forcing him to take a break from school, despite his mothers wishes
After his break, he stayed clean from 11th grade to his med school graduation
He was also diagnosed with severe ADHD durning this time
He graduated with an associate’s degree in medical science and went to med school as soon as he left school
Went to med school back in his home city to be with his mother while his aunt battled leukemia
During that, he grew extremely close with his aunt, and when she died he went into an extreme depression right after graduating med school
Due to circumstances, he relapsed after all this happened
He stopped applying for jobs after she died, until he got an offer to the New York Children’s Hospital
He couldn’t handle the pressure of taking care of such young children that he quit after a year
That’s when he transferred to med
Med wasn’t a help to his mental health, with everything that went on there, it was such a culture shock from the children’s hospital, that he felt he had to have a complete 180° personality change.
He hid his OCD and depression from everyone with anger and self-absorption. Coming off as your everyday average prick to everyone he met
One day he finally broke down in the doctor’s lounge and Will found him and made sure he didn’t have a panic attack
They’ve been close ever since, despite pretending to still hate him
They even go out for drinks pretty often and they often stay in close touch after work as well
Dr. Charles helped him find a therapist and he’s slowly getting better, despite his compulsions
He has a severe hand washing and skin picking compulsion, he’s made himself bleed several times from it, and of course, Will’s caught him more times than they can both count
Will makes him wear gloves more often to help with his compulsions
“James, stop.” Is the phrase he hears most often from his friends/coworkers when he’s picking at his skin/hands
He’s seeing Dr. Charles for his OCD right now, and he thinks it’s not helping, but he’s making progress
His hands are soft, despite all his scabs/scars from his OCD
Dr. Charles’ full diagnosis for him is Depression, OCD, Anxiety, Panic Disorder, and ADHD
He’s a big self critic, he never thinks he’s above anyone, even most of the med students he sees something better than himself in them
Will and the rest of his colleagues always hype him up and remind him how good of a doctor he really is
He often finds himself being the voice of reason between Ethan and Will
Before Sarah left, he wanted to try and befriend her, he saw a lot of himself in her.
He tried to find even ground with Connor, but could never make it happen
And with the support of his friends, he’s mostly clean and slowly recovering from his OCD
I may update this as I come up with more. :)

👀👀 rubbing my gay little hands together... 001 + bstars, 002 + shinjiham, 003 + franziska :3 ily
oh god oh fuck (under cut for length lol)
bstars
Favourite character: i love basically everyone but juyoung min i can never forget you
Least Favourite character: FUCK SEUNGYEON WE ALL HATE SEUNGYEON
5 Favourite ships (canon or non-canon): gyu-hyuk/do-yoon, inha/juyoung. that's it. unless you want to see me be really insane.
Character I find most attractive: juyoung
Character I would marry: ...see above
Character I would be best friends with: either inha or do-yoon
A random thought: hyesung definitely would wear heelies
An unpopular opinion: rash verdict is not a happy ending <3
My canon OTP: dont make me choose. gyuyoon & minnow are both basically canon
Non-canon OTP: seil/tae-yeon
Most badass character: inha and juyoung <3 they can girlboss without risking getting too close to the sun
Pairing I am not a fan of: any m/f pair or seil/hyesung
Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): actually i don't think any of the characters apply here. like seungyeon sucks but she's supposed to
Favourite friendship: gyu & juyoung or do-yoon & inha. bestie squad
shinjiham
when or if I started shipping it: honestly it wasn't until i played p3p about a year ago where i decided to romance shinji on a whim and it changed my brain chemistry
my thoughts: when you're both doomed by the narrative but you're also desperate for human connection... choosing to love someone you know is on borrowed time... fighting for the sake of someone you may never see again... augh. augh. my heart.
What makes me happy about them: i like to think about them cooking together and minako sneaking scraps to koromaru when she thinks shinji's not looking
What makes me sad about them: what DOESN'T make me sad about them. how many ships do you get where they can BOTH die in the others arms.
Things done in fanfic that annoys me: look i don't CARE that kotone is her canon name she'll always be minako arisato to me
Things I look for in fanfic: ....i'll read anything once! that's the life i live!
Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: i'm not into any other shinji pairs but minako "patron saint of bisexuality" could easily go for aigis, yukari, akihiko, mitsuru, saori, rio...
My happily ever after for them: *smiles through my tears* very funny
franziska
How I feel about this character: ive adored her forever and i think she's really funny. her "little brother" is 7 years older than her. that's hysterical. when you're both traumatized but one of you hasn't figured that out yet
All the people I ship romantically with this character: it's literally just adrian
My non-romantic OTP for this character: i mean von karma siblings forever and ever they make me bawl. otherwise i like to think of her as being trucy's doting aunt and it confuses the hell out of phoenix bc he's never seen her be nice before
My unpopular opinion about this character: idk aside from being a frnmy hater i dont think there's anything i outright dislike about most interpretations of her...? i mean i think she doesnt go quite as hard on the fool/whip thing as an adult but idk
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I WISH THEY'D LET HER OUT OF THE BASEMENT I MISS HER SO BAD also she deserved more specific dev. she was robbed.
My OTP: fradrian FOREVER <3
My OT3: n/a

My dearest Minho,
May this letter find you well.
I must confess, even though I haven't even sent this at the time of writing, I know I will eagerly await your response. It is something that has never changed upon meeting you- wanting to listen to you, that is. Thank you for being such a strong voice in my life. I know I am not the best at conversation, and I always feel as if I need to repay you for your patience. Perhaps writing this can be some form of repayment…but that was not my original intention.
I love you. I feel as if we were made for each other-- one cannot play pool without a cue and cue ball…even though the idea of being fated is not one in reality. Because of this, it makes our encounter all the more special. We are a 1 in a million of possibilities.
I wish I was not so…new to this. I know you would not love me any different if I talked more, or kissed more. But deep within me I would love nothing more than to do that and more. As it is what I love about you- your voice, your laughter, your affections. It will take time, but I will get to there eventually. At the moment, however, I feel to reiterate my feelings by writing them to you. And afterwards, once you have read this, perhaps…perhaps a kiss. If you wouldn't mind.
I care for you, and wish for your care in return. You are a great light in my heart. Continue to keep me in your thoughts as you are in mine.
Yours, with love, Venom

Harry Potter turned his teachers hair blue when he was six.
He doesn’t know how he did it, but he’s pretty sure he did, because that very same day when he was picked up by his Aunt and Uncle he had been locked in his cupboard and wasn’t let out for a very long time. They blamed him, so they must have been right, because there was no other explanation for it.
That teacher never called on him in class again – never even looked him straight in the eye. The kids in his class started calling him a freak, and it was then that Harry realized he was not normal. That he was not a good kid.
And he wasn’t a good kid. He got bad grades (on purpose.), he got into fights (he never started them.), he ran from people (he was fast.), he talked back (they talked first.).
Harry Potter was not a good kid, and he turned his teachers hair blue.
Harry Potter was not a good kid, and he was magic.

The Xiang Chronicles: Book Four Chapter 41
Title: The Xiang Chronicles: Book Four
Author: Jay Grayson
Word Count: 118k
Genres: Fantasy, adventure, drama, LGBT+
Available on: my website
Synopsis: In order to save the world from the continuous subjugation and potential annihilation at the hands of Tiandi, hard lines must be drawn. The Great Spirits that were imprisoned ages ago must be unsealed and awakened, no matter the consequences.
The players are divided—those who stand blindly with Tiandi, such as Xiang Merra and her disciples versus those who want to tear the system down and give the power back to the people. Even a few of the most religious Lords change their minds when they learn the truth of the world—that Tiandi is no more than a dictator with no love in his heart.
It is up to the last, real Xiang and the ill-fated Chaaya to put everything they have into tearing God from his throne and creating new possibilities for the future.
Full chapter 41 under the cut
Chapter ILI:
“Lord Viren!” The reception to the returning lord was even more brilliant than anyone had planned for. Word of mouth did most of the heavy lifting for them and, before they knew it, there was a crowd of people, all ready to fight alongside them and help Viren reclaim his throne.
“We had lost faith,” one of the women said, crestfallen.
Another spoke up, “We had been told you were dead!”
“I know; I am sorry,” Viren responded with a sigh. “I wish I could have returned sooner but…”
As he trailed off, one of his old guards pushed to the front of the crowd and took a knee in front of him. “Lord Viren,” his voice was warm but there was a tremor underneath, “As much as we would love to reinstate you now, the Xiang Merra has placed your Aunt Seira on the throne.”
“Is she there now?” Baiya asked, reeling back. He had expected Viren’s replacement to be involved in the battle somehow but, for whatever reason, he did not picture them staying behind while Merra marched away from the capital. Perhaps she expected something of an ambush and left her as a precautionary measure?
“She is,” the guard answered and then looked up at Viren. His eye twitched when he really took in his appearance, noting the sickly complexion and weak stance. “You should remain here, Lord Viren. We will storm the palace and clear the throne for you.”
“I will help,” Kaz offered.
“As will I,” Heidi seconded, removing her axe from her back holster.
Kaz, Heidi, and Ashoka all hurried ahead with the guards and townsfolk while Baiya kept his arm looped with Viren’s so they could follow behind, only more slowly. Oli kept close by as well but his attention was divided between the two groups.
“Once you summon Gnome, you need to fall back,” Baiya said, keeping his voice low so only Viren could hear him. His partner was in even worse shape than when he had first come back from Gnoma—there was no way he could stay in the fight safely.
Viren, however, smiled and patted his arm, reassuringly. “I plan to.”
The gates to the palace were stormed and the front entrance was assaulted by more people than Seira’s guards were prepared for. Some of their own men turned against them and struck the Seira and Merra loyalists down. With the help of Kaz and Heidi’s abilities, none on Viren’s side suffered any casualties.
It took no time at all before Lord Seira was dragged to the front steps of the palace and forced onto her knees. A streak of blood painted her lip, dripping down her chin and staining her pristine robes. Her hair, disheveled, fell into her face but did not cloud her vision enough to block out her nephew.
“You…you pitiful worm…Lao was right about you!” Seira cursed but was struck on the back of the neck, knocking her forward. She spit blood and glared back up. “You should know that your presence here will not go unnoticed. The Xiang may be gone but the second she catches wind of this, she will turn around and direct her devastating attack force on you. You will be crushed by her and you—!”
Her attention shifted to Ashoka and she tensed immediately. She had, briefly, encountered both lord Lao and Seira while she was working with Merra but she could not count a single time they had spoken directly.
With a furrowed brow and a deep scowl, she continued, “Merra will make you suffer, traitor. You cannot win—none of you can hope to win!”
“Say what you want, aunt,” Viren replied with a collected tone, “but it matters not. You chose your fate when you took up Lao’s torch and became Merra’s lapdog. Had you thought of anything besides the power you could grasp, you might be worthy of a second chance.”
“I took you in…” Seira seethed, blood leaking through her clenched teeth. “I housed you and your mother! You ungrateful brat…”
“I am forever appreciative of your past support,” Viren said, looking past her, “But that is not cause enough for me to turn a blind eye to your actions of late.” Already, he had given her too much leeway in her scrimmages with Agni in recent years. He should have seen her path, back then, but his attachment to her prevented him from viewing her the same as Lao.
His aunt cursed as him, devolving into unintelligible ranting so Baiya led him away.  “Let us get you dressed the part of King, shall we?” he suggested, keeping a firm hand on his back.
Behind them, Heidi raised her axe into the air and severed another branch of the Haun royal line for good. The cheering from the townsfolk was all Viren needed to hear to know that she had hit her mark.
***
Those who were not inside the palace or helping to root out the last of Merra’s men from within the walls of Ultimos were outside, to the south, where they constructed a small stage as fast as possible.
Viren looked at the robes set out for him, almost rendered catatonic by the daunting task of dressing. Luckily, both Baiya and Kaz were ready to help out.
Kaz went to work on removing his current clothes and, afterward, he pulled his hair up and tied it neatly to ensure it would not get in the way. He traced his fingers along the nape of the lord’s neck, evoking a shiver from him. “Sorry,” he mumbled and then stepped around to meet his golden eyes. “How are you feeling? Need anything? Water?”
Viren smiled and shook his head. “Thank you, though.” He lifted his nearest hand, making contact with Kaz’s chin, just barely, and led him closer. The kiss, chaste as it was, lasted a few moments and Viren so clearly did not want to leave it. His eyes appeared glassy but his voice held no tremor when he said, “You are very sweet, Kaz. It is easy for me to love you.”
Though the words had been said before, it was jarring every time. Kaz’s face flushed and he grumbled, “…you too.”
Baiya overheard and chuckled at his expense while he walked closer with the fancier robes in his hands. There was some heft to them so he took his time putting each layer on as to not overwhelm Viren. “It is bad luck to say such things before a battle, you know,” Baiya mentioned after all of the layers were in place. All that was left was adjustments and accessories.
“What?” Viren questioned, “The ‘I love you’ thing?”
When Baiya nodded, Kaz pointed out, “We all told Pangu we love him.”
“That is different. He is going somewhere else. We are all heading to the same battleground.” Baiya secured a heavily jeweled necklace around Viren’s neck. He caught his eyes and said, “It is the same as saying goodbye when someone leaves on an important mission. Instead, you should say ‘see you later’.”
“So, what would you suggest in our position?”Viren’s lip quirked into a smile.
“Hmm. Maybe a distant, even cold, ‘fight well’ or something to light the fire under the other person. Start an argument so they’re mad and have to survive if for no other reason than to give you a piece of their mind at the close of the battle.”
Kaz rolled his eyes while Viren laughed. The lord placed his hands on either side of Baiya’s face and pulled him, as well, into a kiss. “I love you.”
“…You care nothing about my superstitions…” The Agni disciple sighed and then responded in the way he knew Viren wanted. “I love you too.”
He and Kaz worked together to braid Viren’s hair and set in the headpiece to finish off the look. They, decidedly, exchanged no “I love you” between them and Kaz even decided to throw a, “If anyone has to die, I am rooting for your demise,” at Baiya before they left the room.
As it was his idea to pick a fight before the battle, Kaz wanted to respect his wishes.
The three joined everyone outside, instantly taking note that Kali and Chandes had also made some adjustments to their appearances.
“What kind of magic is that?!” one of the guards shouted in surprise.
“The kind that you need to keep your mouth shut about,” Kali snapped, using Kira’s voice.
“Yeah,” Chandes/Pangu added, “We need Merra to believe we are the ex-Xiang and Chaaya so all of you need to keep your yaps closed.”
“This will certainly get her to turn back around…” another guard marveled.
Viren smoothed down his robes and looked at the two. Although they were perfect replicas of Pangu and Kira, he could still, very much tell the difference. With a glance to Baiya and Kaz, he knew they could tell too.
“Alright, I will begin the ceremony,” Viren told everyone, “Baiya, Kaz, Oli, Kali, and Chandes—you five will be on stage with me. Heidi and Ashoka, keep guard with my army. A few scouts have been sent out further north and we will be signaled when Merra is here.”
The stage for Viren’s coronation was impressive, especially given how quickly it had been assembled. Kaz took in the sight with awe—there were banners, torches, and even some embellishments that he had not expected. Viren’s people were a lot more dedicated and devoted than he had assumed.
Since he had never encountered his people before, he could only guess that he had some loyal supporters but the majority of the city was on his side. They had ended up begging some people to stay in their homes to wait out the fight—even the unprepared, unskilled, average person wanted to raise arms for Viren.
It was already important for Kaz to protect the capital but his will grew even stronger seeing the love the people had for their ousted lord.
When the horn blew from one of the scouts, everyone tensed and looked to the horizon. A sea of bodies dotted the distance and it grew closer but no less dense. It was as if she had the entirety of Terra with her, save those they had encountered in the city and the people of Meala.
With only those capable of fighting from Ultimos—around three hundred bodies—and the small group they had arrived with, the match was daunting yet Viren did not flinch.
The Xiang’s army stopped with only a small stretch of the field before them. Merra spotted all the key players and her eyes narrowed. “What is this?” she hissed and glanced between Pangu, Kira, and Viren before stopping on Ashoka. “You really think you can outmaneuver me, Ashoka? You think I do not see that some of the fallen Xiang’s group is missing? You think I am a fool?”
“Good job having eyes,” Kali/Kira remarked with a wave of her hand, “I doubt you can guess what is coming.”
“And you have underestimated me,” Merra countered, “I know who every Great Spirit is attached to. You have no element of surprise—quick! Kill him before he can summon Gnome!”
The guards around Viren inched closer, ready to defend or deflect anything that came at them. Yet, none of the archers in Merra’s army drew their bows and neither Kubja nor Bofu moved. Kubja had his head bent, almost as if he was staring at the ground and Bofu looked even worse for wear than the last time Ashoka had seen him.
“There!” Heidi shouted suddenly and turned her attention to the left. A gleam in the sky appeared as an arrow of light was let loose.
She and Kaz pieced together a barrier to reflect it and, in order to avoid the redirect, the caster had to release whatever magic was hiding their presence. Jun darted to the side and the arrow flew off into the distance but he did not appear too distraught at being caught. The corner of his lip twitched, even, as if to smirk.
“No!” Baiya’s yell brought their attention back to the stage.
From the center of the field, another light arrow had been released and Gongji flickered into being right afterward. No one had seen it, with the commotion on the left, and the arrow hit it’s mark—the center of Viren’s chest.
He stumbled backward but Baiya caught him, lowering him down until he was on his knees. Kaz collapsed on his other side, taking the lord’s hand into his.
“Viren!” Kaz gasped, “This is my fault! I should have been paying more attention, I—”
“It is alright,” Viren stopped him and winced immediately. Talking took the wind out of him but he pushed through it regardless, “Oli, come closer…”
Though his face was frozen in an expression of shock and horror, Oli did as his cousin asked and knelt beside Kaz. He reached over to Viren but could not bring himself to touch his hand, as if doing so would break him. “…Yes?” he managed to ask, in a whisper.
“You…have to rule now…” Viren nodded, encouraging him to do the same. “You are ready…you will do well…ahhn”
“Viren,” Kaz clutched his hand tighter. “Hang on, we can get you somewhere safe where you can heal. Just preserve your strength.”
“That is sweet, Kaz…” Viren did his best to squeeze him back. “But I am not…making it out…I…” With a cough, a splash of blood washed over his lip and chin. “I am glad I was able to meet you…even if our time together was short.”
“Don’t do this,” Baiya warned as he placed a hand around the arrow of light, attempting to hold back some of the blood. “Please, Viren, what am I going to tell Pangu? He won’t forgive me if I let you die, you know.”
The lord smiled and, with his free hand, he mopped up a tear from Baiya’s cheek. “Do not worry…about that…” He gulped. “Take care of…Kaz…be n-nice to him…”
“Viren…” Oli barely uttered.
“I made…an agreement with Gnome…” Viren took a few steadying breaths, holding on as best as he could despite the darkness creeping around his vision. “This is all…for the best…do not lose focus…”
He removed his hand from Baiya’s face and gripped the light arrow with as much force as he could muster.
“Gnome,” he instructed, “Be free.”
Viren yanked the arrow loose and a beam of light escaped the wound. Everyone closed their eyes but refused to let go of him—even when a deep rumbling could be heard and felt through the land.
Once the light dimmed, a crack formed on the surface, right before Merra’s toes. She stepped back, urging those behind her to do the same. A loud, deep roar from the distance sounded and the earth ripped apart in a fury. Stones shifted and large chunks of land slid down into the new chasm that opened between Ultimos and Merra.
Heidi’s tears dried up as she watched Merra’s army almost disappear, past the horizon, while a deep and seemingly endless hole in the ground took her place.
“Incredible…” Kali/Kira mentioned as she dropped her ruse, finding it no longer necessary.
Chandes followed her lead and then looked to the others still on the stage or nearby. “Alright, I know we are all sad and everything but we need to hit Merra hard and fast while she’s off balance.”
“Viren…” Baiya whispered as he lowered him all the way onto the stage, resting him in as comfortable of a position as he could.
“He knew he was not going to make it…” Oli muttered, “I knew too but…I did not want to believe it.”
“Did summoning Gnome require a sacrifice or…?” Kaz asked, still confused.
“It doesn’t matter!” Chandes yelled out. “If we don’t act now, what he did will be in vain anyway.” She opened up a portal and pointed to it. “Let’s go.”
Leaving Viren’s body behind may as well have been the same as voluntarily severing a limb but Baiya and Kaz followed Chandes’ instructions.
“Oli, you stay with a few guards,” Kali said with a firm point of her finger. “Everyone else, come with us.”
The other end of the portal opened on Merra’s side of the ravine and, with Viren’s death driving them forward, Baiya and Kaz immediately fell into a groove of fighting side by side. Heidi and Ashoka, as well, made a potent combination.
Merra had already pushed backward, moving halfway through her forces to lead them south again and, hopefully, find some high ground or an advantage for one of the Princes to work with. She panicked at the thought of Gnome acting again—the next time swallowing them all into an abyss.
She came to a stop immediately as a new force caught them in a pincer.
The armor and colors were unmistakable.
“Traitors!” Merra shrieked and pointed. “Kubja, Hwang—direct all your strength to the lord of Meala! Kill him and I will burn the rest!”
Fire lapped at her palms as the back quarter of her force charged ahead to meet the new challenger. There were more of them than there were of the tribesmen so she knew she could overpower them. Her only set back would have been if Pangu had unlocked their crowns but, by the way they met her soldiers in battle, they were not working with any divine energy.
“Tiandi, give me strength,” she whispered to herself before running at Dio.
On the other end of the field, Chandes was able to see the success of the pincer attack. She was also able to see the ferocity with which Merra was pursuing Dio. “We need to help the lord of Meala! He is being surrounded by Merra’s forces.”
“On it,” Kaz replied and jumped into the air. He readied his spear to send it down onto Kubja but he was knocked from his perch. Heidi cushioned his fall with a little help from Sylph and he was placed gently back onto the ground while the faerie flew about him.
A faint crackling appeared in the sky before Jun and Gongji became clear. Baiya narrowed his eyes. “I am sick of this invisible spell shit.” He whirled his chain in his hand and threw his blade, bathed in flames at the floating men.
Of course, they deflected it and darted to either side. Between them, and on the ground, Bofu walked closer with a whip in hand. He stumbled but remained upright, clearly using all of his strength.
“This battle will kill you, Bofu!” Ashoka shouted, “Merra will not even think twice about using you as a sacrificial pawn—can you not see that?”
“What does it matter?” the boy groaned and pulled his weapon taut between his hands. “I am dead anyway…we all are.”
Evie’s scream rattled the field and she dropped to her knees as Merra’s soldiers surrounded her husband, blocking her view. But she had seen enough.
Spears pierced his body, from all angles and at nearly the same time. Fire shot through his veins and, even if he knew he would not survive the injuries, he still shot out as much of his energy as he could. Pangu had unlocked his crown and he would not let that effort go to waste.
The soldiers were either sucked into the earth and crushed or skewered by a spike he shot out. Evie, even in her distress, helped to beat back the majority of them.
She attempted to run forward but a blast of air knocked her back. Merra caught her eyes and it was clear she was holding her in place.
Even more of the Xiang’s men charged forward despite the rampage Dio had unleashed. His lifeblood poured out of him but he refused to slow down. Until his body literally stopped, he planned on fighting.
“Dio, watch out!” Evie yelled as she could not reach him—physically or with her energy.
Her eyes bulged as the men took to throwing their spears instead of rushing into him. Some were blocked by shields made of the earth but others cleared the barriers and, thanks to Merra’s control of the air, they hit their mark with ease. Evie let out a gut wrenching cry, falling to her knees.
Whether or not the Xiang was still holding her captive, she could not be sure. She only knew, when the soldiers surrounded her husband again, flailing and slashing, she could hardly breathe. They backed away and one of the soldiers held up Dio’s severed head, hooting out in victory.
Evie swore her heart stopped.
Merra’s cold eyes turned to her and she spoke to the remaining lord directly, “Do you see now? Tiandi’s law is the only way. You either obey or you die.”
Evie’s anger could have swallowed her whole—it could have engulfed the entire field—but the new arrival on the north west hill would have to do for her revenge. It certainly caught Merra’s attention.
The Xiang turned to see the new army, with the sun at their backs, and she scowled. She had known, when she saw Raine missing from the gathering, that he would appear at some point. And, at his side, the King of Kyrie stood along with a woman who glowed in the light of the sun, revealing a luminescent, blue body.
Yet another Great Spirit.
Merra’s hands balled into fists and she shook in a mix of anger and dread.
Raine checked in with his King, noting the eager smile on his face. “It seems we are here early,” he said.
“Good, perhaps we can end things before too many more lives are lost.” King Raime announced and held out his hand. “Undine; flood them.”
